Have you ever check out a place that was said to be haunted

[andrew8798]

So did you ever go and see for yourself if the legends were true. In my old High School people always said the third floor was haunted. Makes you wonder

In Pascagoula MS right off the beach is the Longfellow house. Supposed to be haunted. By the time I was in high school the place had been empty for close to 10 years. Someone had found out that one of hte windows on the upper front deck was unlocked. So late one weeknight 4 of us snuck into the place. Walked around taking pictures. This was back way before digital cameras,so had to wait a few days to get the pics developed. In one of them it was two buddies of mine in front of a second story window. There is a yellow sphere,I have always said it is the camera flash reflecting in the window,but they swear the sphere is some kind of spirit or ghost.

Too many:

My family believed my Grandmothers original house was haunted. TVs would flicker on and off randomly. As did lights. Whenever I'd go to the bathroom water would drop onto my head, but no one else. Also hired a guy who said there was no leak. Oh and my aunt got "possessed" there. Allegedly.

A couple séances in Guatemala in hotels/houses where my family believed there were spirits of family members who had passed on.

Students claimed my High School theater was haunted...we'd all huddle up In the dressing rooms and turn the lights off or play ouija or whatever, but all BS.

A few years ago a large group of my friends and I snuck into a cemetery that was gated off. Apparently it was super haunted. I (and a bottle of wine I had) was not
Impressed. No supernatural stuff occurred, but we may have ran into a cult-like-group that may have also snuck in.

I go on overnight "paranormal tours" of a couple local haunted spots a few times every year.

Preston Castle, and the USS Hornet. Going back to the Hornet at the end of the month actually.

Ever see or hear anything

I had to do some electrical work in my moms church once. It was built in the late-1800's and I believe the rumours are that the organist hung himself in the bell tower in the early-1990's. So they say he still haunts the Sunday school area.

I did the electrical work in the middle of the day and I was there alone. I heard furniture being moved upstairs from that area and childrens laughter. So I've never worked as fast as I have in my life as I did that day and got out of there.

I went on a haunted tour with some friends about ten years ago in Chicago in October. It was fun.

Then when Supernatural was still in its first few seasons, a group of us went to Lawrence Kansas and checked out a few reportedly haunted places around there, including Stull Cemetery from the gates (you can't go inside, the residents get touchy understandably about it... we were only there for a few minutes and we had people asking us what we were doing haha. Oop.) Haven't really done a lot of exploring around my own town, but I know of a couple rumored places.

I was checking a website about haunting in Portland, OR. I did so because my mom used to live next to Cathedral Park, a supposedly haunted location that my mom herself said she might have heard the ghost herself (there was a young woman murdered there in 1949 that allegedly lets out some blood-curdling screams at night). I was surprised to see a house on the map of haunted places that I was certain I had been in as a friend frequently stopped there because it was his grandma’s house.

I thought to myself, “I dont believe it is haunted, or at least I never saw anything. I then read the description of the location’s haunting. The ghost there is actually nice and even occasionally helpful. It is believed to be the ghost of a former resident who died about 20 years ago.

If it is the same house, I was last in that house 29 years ago.

I have the coolest EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) I've ever heard. EVP is a voice that isn't "there" but was caught via digital recorder.

Basically a voice that wasn't there in real-time said "TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF" immediatly after my buddy turned on the strobe on his flashlight. Honestly I should upload the audio clip to YouTube or something. It's so much better to actually hear it over just reading it.

Another night at Preston there was a constant "marching" of footsteps above a hallway. There wasn't anything above the hall ( except the roof which we could see from an adjacent window) so there was no way a person was above making the noise. The marching was there throughout the night every single time we returned. At about 3 in the morning the footsteps started moving to the right, and down the stairs at the opposite side of an adjacent room. A door slammed and the marching turned to running. The docents thought an actual person had broken into the castle at this point (especially freaky because Preston is literally right next door to Mule Creek penitentiary.) After a docent ran down the stairs and confirmed everything was still locked and no one was inside, the marching was over.

USS Hornet I haven't got as much activity. Phantom dog barks down in the engine room, but nothing else. Looking forward to my next trip there. Maybe it will be the "Big One" with activity.

Building near here has a rep (it's privately owned so I wont name it on legal grounds). Recently a ghost show got permission to do a seance in there, and before long, the person in charge was "possessed" by a spirit which claimed to own the house in 1866!

One slight snag to that.

While there are several homes in Glasgow you could work that one in, this particular building not only didn't exist in 1866, but the entire area around it was farmland.

Oops.

[Deleted]

Yeah.

It totally had a strange aura, but nothing notable happened.

I have been in a handful of reputedly haunted places where definitely something felt off, and even in the middle of the day the atmosphere felt strange, but never anything too overtly weird to this point.

Humorously enough my uncle swore up and down that one of our town's McDonald's was haunted by the original owner, and he was the manager of the McD's in my hometown for years so he would have the exposure to add veracity to it. That McD's had a basement with the freezer and the office, and supposedly he'd be down there working after hours and be the only one there and he would hear high heels walking around on the tile floor upstairs... The lady who first franchised McDonald's to the area apparently was known for always wearing high heels when working. So there's that. Unfortunately that restaurant's been demolished for a new generic version, so who knows if she stuck around.

I actually live practically next to Waverly Hills Sanitarium, which has been featured on a bunch of these ghost hunter shows. Went there on a tour when I had free tickets back in 2004. Truth be told there's not supernaturally scary about the place. The scares are very real in fact. The building is in such disrepair that it is actively dangerous to walk around at times, with stuff hanging from the ceiling and what not. There have been rumors of turning it into a hotel and remodeling the place, but the current owners want state funding to do so and I don't think that is going to happen.

My house. I've had a psychic come check it out. My surround sound stated turning on at random, things falling off shelves. Freaks me out singe times but he's harmless and causes no problems.

My friends had their wedding at a winery that's said to be haunted. It legit used to be an old psych hospital and there's been verified paperwork found and spoken accounts documenting their very...questionable...practices and people who've died from them. So the legend is the ghosts are the people that passed away during their treatment. It used to be that the winery would only allow people to visit the main floor of the building and had no access to any other floors. Now they're letting people into the upstairs sections where the dorms and treatment took place, and there've been several accounts of people hearing things upstairs. The basement isn't accessible, but that's because that's where the actual production of the wine takes place.

That's not the reason my friends had the wedding there; the outside of the building and the property itself is actually incredibly beautiful.

[Natural Born Farmer]

No, because ghosts don’t exist and spending money on something like that is asinine.

Centralia, PA. My bf and I spent a cew hours in the area, before we went to Battleground, that night.

[Push R Truth]

I worked in a building that was haunted. Two ghost shows where there and "found evidence" of voices and presence. It was a 130 year old government asylum.


It was on old building with a ton of old pipes that went out to auxiliary buildings. Birds and stuff commonly got into the false ceilings. It was literally breezy inside even on a calm day. Yeah the building was spooky and sounded haunted, but I mean... it was obvious why.

Spent 3 nights there working flood emergencies. In the middle of a storm you hear all sorts of shit in there. But it was obvious what the sounds were if you were rational about it. Never once felt anything that wasn't wind howling or old pipes making old pipe sounds.

Not a haunted location, but I have no idea when I would ever relay this story except in threads like this.

One year for Christmas my youngest wanted a robot parrot. The thing had about 80 or so preprogrammed responses on file. Christmas morning comes and my idea an I are up putting the kids’ toys together, including the parrot. Since it is just us, my wife did not bother putting on anything more than the nightshirt she slept in. This becomes relevant in a moment.

Anyways,I am sitting on the floor and had the parrot in front of me putting its stand together while my wife sat across from me putting other toys together. It was kind of distracting as she was inadvertently flashing her lady parts to me. I was not about to complain though.

Apparently the robot did not enjoy the view as much as I did because it blurted out, “Ooh, GROSS!!” At first we had a laugh, then wondered what stimuli actually prompted that response.

“Ooh, GROSS!!” Was not on the extensive list of preprogrammed responses.

Thankfully, the kid did not like the toy that much, so we were able to dispose of the Chucky toy before it broke out and killed us all.

[A Platypus Rave]

Not that I know of.

My Father and Mother did a paranormal investigator tour once in Gettysburg thinking it'd be at least somewhat interesting to check out a battlefield or something...

instead they took them to a random apartment of someone that died in 1980... and the way they described it made it sound like a total farce.
