Is something haunted near you?

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Any "only kids can see it" thing instantly sounds like bullshit to me

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SIXTH SENSE

Hey I live in Houston which has quite a few, but most notably is the Jefferson Davis Hospital which they knowingly built over an old graveyard. It's abandoned now. You used to be able to sneak in through a hole in the fence, but they fixed the hole and the building is right next to a Fire Department training center so it's got guards on it at all times because of the amount of poeple who try to sneak into it.

New South Wales - Sydney - Kingsgrove - Shackel Avenue - Scout Hall - This derelict abandoned scout hall once used by many has been haunted ever since 1999 when apparently a man was murdered and buried underneath the scout hall. It is said that at night if u go under the hall you can see a ghost of what looks like a man with one arm. Strange noises have been heard and children often in their teens bring Ouija boards and play with them under this haunted hall which is extremely dangerous. If visiting this hall take precautions and don’t take Ouija boards because of many hazards to your spiritual well-being and psychological health. Is still used today by the rovers but no one dares go underneath the hall which is filled with junk, wood, and various other materials.

 

This one's very close to me, though this is the first i've ever heard about it.

I was no-sold by Kotz.

 

I am very sad now.

Kotz, you and I should investigate Dock Street Theater and some of these other plaaces and report our findings.

Sure, why not. It's been a while since my last involuntary bowel movement.

Well, I have a few. I used to work in a place that was haunted. I worked in a PetsMart store that used to be a Hanley Paint store. One night, a disgrunted employee came back into the place, and shot the store manager. No one found out about it until the next morning, and the guy died of his injuries, meaning he wa still alive after the the bullet, but bled to death. I personally had two things happen to me, and heard about a few others.

 

First, was when a can of dog food came rolling toward me, from about half-way across the back of the store. It was making a very high pitched "metal rolling on concrete" sound, and then abruptly stopped about 2-3 feet away from me. Another time, I was near the water fountain in the back, and the employee closest to me was about 15 away from me, and away from the water fountain. I swear I heard the water fountain "run" for about 2-3 seconds. Both of these things happened to me after the store had closed, and we would search the store for stragglers every night.

 

Also, one of the girls who worked in the grooming area once had all the dryers turn on all at once. I also heard that stuff sometimes happened at the Peter Piper Pizza a little farther down the strip mall, but I've never heard any specifics.

 

Another local famous ghost story around here is the story of La Llorosa, or The Weeping Woman. The story has a few slightly different versions, all different on when it happened, but not how. Basically, a woman from Mexico had two little boys, and loved them very much. She eventually got jealous that her husband spent all her time with his horse, and never paid any attention to her. She eventually got so jealous, in a fit of rage, she threw her two sons into the river, and they drowned. She realized what she did almost immediately after, and she tried to save them, but she couldn't. She became so distraught, she threw herself into the river and drowned. Now, her eternal punishment is to wander the Earth, looking for her children.

 

As the story goes, she comes out at night near any body of water, when there's a full moon, and if she catches a child, she drags them down to hell with her. Also, so the story goes, if you look directly into her eyes, you will go insane.

Well I use to live in Wichita, where some things were already posted. I'm currently going to school in Mass (where I'm originally from), where basically the entire town of Salem is haunted. My parents are trying to get me to transfer to this school where they are currently living in Texas:

 

Denton - The University of North Texas - Bruce Hall - There is a spirit of a pregnant women trapped in the building who in the 1930's tried to starve herself to cause an abortion There have been sightings of a young women roaming the halls when the building is closed. Also, the students are bothered by minor annoyances.

 

Denton - The University of North Texas - Union Suite 324 - The CSRR and SLA offices of the university have a wandering ghosts. Those who have extra work and stay later after hours tend to hear the fax machine turn on and off. This ghost "nicknamed" Brandy likes to lock employees in copy rooms and offices, run blank pages through the copier, and turn on and reboot computers.

 

College I'm currently going to:

 

North Andover - Merrimack College - Ash Hall - There is a mysterious fire ghost who roams Ash Hall. He wears a charred and blackened fireman’s outfit, and often wields an axe. A fire alarm sounds during the night on many occasions sending students outside into the dark night. Here they may catch a glimpse of his darkened figure in various dorms windows, while they listen to the sound of the sirens rushing to the scene to secure the false alarm. Students return to a scent that is often described as being similar to that of a smoldered burnt out campfire and fire traces of ash and soot on doorknobs and handrails, though a single flame is never found.

 

I've stayed in that building many times and have never seen anything.

It's amazing how many hospitals are reported to be haunted because "They were built on an old grave yard or Indian burial ground."

 

How about all the people that die in those hospitals?

[Guest SP-1]

Sure, why not. It's been a while since my last involuntary bowel movement.

We'll eat at the Kickin' Chicken afterward.

 

 

I live in Moncks Corner so I might check out that Strawberry Chapel story.

 

Maybe.

Bridgewater - Bridgewater College - one of the bathrooms on the second floor is haunted. a girl hung herself. now if someone is in the bathroom alone they hear a noise of a girl choking. also the noise of a shower. when the shower isn't even on. Another thing that happens sometimes if you take a shower in there and you are alone in the bathroom all the showers turn on by themselves. another place that is haunted is the stairway. sometimes we see black object moving. they aren't shadows from other things because you see it when its darker.

 

Bridgewater - Bridgewater State College - Shea-Durgin Hall - there is a poltergeist that lives in 5th floor it likes to stack chairs and coke cans on top of the TV's and set things on fire it is also famous for stopping elevators.

 

Bridgewater - Bridgewater State College - Shea-Durgin Hall -Room 228 - An 18 year old girl was strangled by her boyfriend. They found her with her clothes off, and bruises all over her neck. There was also a letter asking her why she cheated on him. At night people hear yelling and gagging from the girl's ghost. If you know someone who lives there say your final goodbyes because their time is coming.

 

Bridgewater - Bridgewater State College - Tillinghast Hall - this building was the original dorm in the 1800's and used to have a large iron fence surrounding it well the house mother went to check out a noise on the roof to find several of her charges out of bed and on the roof so she sent them back to there rooms when she was climbing down she got tangled in her petty coat and slipped plunging to her death on the fence. She still wanders the halls chasing out men in the building after dark, closing doors, turning off lights and crying in the stairwell.

 

Bridgewater - Bridgewater State College - Wood Hall - it has a room that a girl very long ago set herself on fire and she is still seen today running thru the hall screaming Fire and banging on doors when the students emerge from there rooms there is no one there.

 

Bridgewater - Bridgewater State College Apartments - In 9C of the student apartments on campus, stamping, knocking and smells arise. At night on the lower level outside of the emergency exit there is a knocking on the door that once it is opened there is no one there. In the living room of this same apartment a smell of decay and rot suddenly appears, enough to make you sick, and then disappears. The stamping emerges only in the middle of the night in the hall, but once the door is opened no one is there.

 

Damn, my whole college was haunted. Makes sense in retrospect.

Dependent upon what I eat, there still might be involuntary bowel movements.
