I used to work at a store. The employees have a lot of eerie
things that happen to them. One of them happened to me and my best
friend who was my boss. We are not sure of the past in this
building, but all we know it that weird stuff happens. The one
night My other manager came in early in the morning to start
opening the store. She checked over the entire store before going
into the office to count the money. She was the only one there.
When she was in the office she heard this "BOOM", and "crash"
noise. She ran out to see what had happened and all of the stores
carts were out of where they keep them, and 5 of them in each
aisle going towards the wall were there. Another incident was that
she was at the service counter alone, and heard this big crash.
She went to the back of the store where she heard the crash, and
all of the bulbs that were on the shelf fell off, all of them! The
last encounter was with me and my boss. We came in early one
sunday morning, and i went to go get breakfast while she opened. I
got a call after about 5 minutes of being gone to quickly come
back. I turned around and went back. When i got there she pulled
me into the office and told me to sit down. She told me she heard
footsteps going down the hallway into the breakroom. We sat there
and soon enough we heard the footsteps again. They were quiet, and
then got loud by the door but the door was open and no one was
there. To this day we are scared to stay there alone.

Well, to tell the truth...there were three hauntings. My very first haunting experience
was when I was 9-years-of-age and a couple of friends of my and I were sitting in my room,
waiting for everyone to go to sleep so we could sneek a snack in to my room. About 3:00
A.M., my bedroom door all of a sudden open on it's own after we heard footsteps near the
bathroom. I yelled out, "Is anyone there?" and there was no answer. I yelled out again then
my door slammed shut. The morning afterwards, my sister explained to me that the house I
used to live in was part of the underground railroad project from when Blacks (mostly
preffer African-Americans) were used as slaves and 17 of them died in our basement. Since the
house was haunted by 17 slaves, only one remained and we decided to name him Jeremy.
The next haunting I experienced was when I was in Junior High. I went to a friends house
for a birthday party and in the middle of the night, I saw a set of glowing red eyes right
outside the kitchen window. I woke my friend up and she started screaming her lights out.
About two hours after calming her down, her mother explained that there was a murderer who
used to in that very same place but died from a terrible disease.
My final haunting was not too long ago, during my senior prom of 2005. I was sitting
at a table with my date and a few friends when all of a sudden, I started crying for no
reason at all. When I woke from the trance I was in, I couldn't remember why I was crying.
My date told me I just started crying for no reason and when he asked me what was wrong, I
didn't reply to him what-so-ever. After getting a picture of just me back from my one
friend, I noticed two white orbs floating above my head. One was of a friend who died in
a crash months before the prom and the other was of a person who died in that area back in
the early 1900's. The one who died in the 1900's was the one who managed to reach into
my body and start crying for no reason. Their pain still remains inside me without leaving.

Every night ghost are all over my apartment and they manifest on my walls, the house starts
changing and looks all surrounded by dust and spiders. They make alot of noise and at times
laughed at me, noone in the house believes me. They think I am going nuts. My apartment is
next to a cementery and the building I live it has been around for less than 5 years.

I went on a tour in Durham, NC, called Historic Stagville. It is a preserved plantation, in which there are the slave quarters (consisting of 4 homes built in the 1700-1800's) there was a small one room hut, which had a latch on the outside. i opened it and pointed my digital camera inside and as i was moving it around i caught what people refer to as ORBS of energy. not sure if it was an actual "ghost" or just some sort of metaphysical phenomena. but it was VERY strange and startling. nothing seen with the naked eye, however, in the live view of my camera caught a massive amount of "energy". people have also reported hearing footsteps, hearing murmering and voices, even seeing images of people. i found this to be very interesting because of the history of this site. if you can imagine the horrible treatment of people, unable to move on from this place. also, inside the slave-owner's home there were TONS of flies. dead, alive, small, huge, it was literally disgusting, which i associate with evil- in which slave-owners treated their slaves in the most in-humane ways of torture and disrespect as human beings. in the slave quarters, there were NO bugs whatsoever, even though there were plenty of cracks in the frame, doors, windows of their houses. but no bugs at all. i found this to be very interesting and i've become fairly obsessed with my findings. this being the first "real" signifigant evidence i've ever encountered. i also felt alot of energy around me, and it was very cold...so if you happen to be in the NC areas, you may want to check this place out!!!

My ex husband and I along with several other couples decides to dine out at a very elegant restaurant near utica Ny. It is called Beardslee Castle and was a private home at one time, built by a man who love I rish style castles. It is reported to be haunted by several entities. I had never been there, but one of my female friends who attended dinner with us had. Knowing how I am intrigued by these type of structures she wanted to show me the newly remodeled party room upstairs and since on one had booked the room the staff said we could go up. we followed the winding staircase to an open hallway, which as I was told was the original part of the upstairs, and ahead of us was the new party room... well when I got to the top of the stairs, I froze and couldnt go any further. i felt such a presence it was frightening. To the right of the stairs was a dark hallway which one of the staff told me was the hallway of the original bedrooms. She says no one goes down there. to the left of the stairs was the open hallway with three closed doors. These were aparently servants
rooms at one time. I peered int to the new party room, mostly just to appease my friend who wanted to show it to me, but i was shaking and very cold standing there, and my eyes kept going back to one of the closed doors to my immediate left. I then expressed to my friend i had to leave that floor and immediately turned to go back to our table downstairs. Our table was in a small front room near a nice fireplace near a window. My friend an I were not back in our seats for more that 5 minutes when we heard the repeated sound of what seemed to be someon rocking in a creaky rocking chair right above us, upstairs. She and I, out of 20 people seemed to be the only ones who heard it though. Ive not been back there since.

I don't really believe in ghosts. But the town that I am from well they believe that the elementary school is haunted. My story was told to me by my mom who worked at the school in the cafeteria for 10 yrs. Now it was said that when the school was built that it use to be an old cemetery where settlers back in the day as they would be pass through the town it would be where they would bury their loved ones I guess or for what ever other reason they would bury them. And when the school was built they found bodies and buried them in another cemetery that is the oldest in town. There as been reports of hearing an organ playing in the pre k building or when one time a school photographer went to go and set up he saw a man clear as day walk from wall to the next. Also the school principle said she walk out in the hall when every body was gone and the locker doors would all be open and when she would leave because this scared her she would hear them all slam close. My dad who works there says that sometime when he's there late and the school of course is closed he can hear in the gym basketballs being bounced and when they go check there's nothing to be found but one story that my mom can say is that when she worked in the cafeteria is that when she walked in the bathroom she heard a like a little girl crying she said she asked the little if she was okay and why was she crying she said that no one answered so went to check there was no one there.Other times she said they would the front doors of the cafeteria open and close and the figured it was the children already coming in for the breakfast but when they would check there would be no one. I don't it these stories are true but they have been told through the town in the same way for years so if any one know any literature or any thing about this shed some light .......

Really Close to Fairfield Il. there is a very small town called Merriam and in merriam there
is a Railroad. It is said that a girl was in her car on the tracks and a train crashed into
her, and if a car sits on the railroad late at night your car will be pushed off the tracks as
if u were driving off of them. My boyfriend and I thought it would be fun to take my little
sister there and try to scare her...we didnt really believe all the rumors...so we put baby
powder on the car because people believe she pushes the car out of the way, then we left and
we were there around midnight and we waited on the track for about 15 minutes. then we heard a
train honking its horn it wasnt too close so we waited a second, but nothing happened, just as
matt was about to turn the ignition we felt a jolt.... like a car hit us in the rearend. we
looked back and saw nothing. the train was getting closer so matt tried to turn the
ignition but the car wouldnt start. then all of a sudden the car started rolling not super fast
but not super slow. the car was in park. we couldnt believe what was happening. when we
were off the tracks and the train passed matt turned the key and it started.... so we got the
hell out of there. we were pretty freaked. then when we got home My little sister asked if we
touched the car after we put the powder on ... we didnt...then we looked and there were
handprints one the trunk like someone had been pushing us.

The year of 2000 was my senior year at Frewsburg Central School. I did my senior
theses on the haunting of gurnsey hollow cemetery. a fellow classmate and I did
research on the hauntings, asked several elderly people who still resided in
Frewsburg. the so called "rumors" of hauntings have been going around for
generations. Now when I did my research, we found that the cemetery was
supposedly haunted by a mentally challenged child stoned to death in the 1800's.
I've heard many people claiming they heard children laughing, the glowing balls
of light, impaled animals, and felt as if something flew by them through the air.
(stones)so my buddy and I decided to go to the cemetery one night and camp out in a
tent. Big mistake! I never experienced any thing like that in my life!! I never
believed in ghosts or hauntings until that night. most of the night it was
quiet, no wind, just a calm night. then all of a sudden it started, ghosts of
children, laughing and running circles around our tent. I thought that it were
local kids messing around with us....I opened the tent, shined a flashlight and
no one was there! that was enough to make both of us run fast as we could
straight to the car and drove off hysterically, screaming like little girls. the
next day we went up to the cemetery to retrieve our gear, but this time with a
few more people. every thing was still there. but a surprise left for us. and
impaled deer on the entrance gate........the rod iron fence stuck in the deer's
chest and eye ball.......no blood and no rigor.......freaky!!!!!!!!

my step dad and his two brothers went out into the woods just to explore and they
came upon an old mine so they decided they'd walk to the end and then walk
straight back he said he saw two little figures in front of him and that they
started to laugh that's when he ran.

I saw something and I wanted to know if anyone else had witnessed something
similar. When I was about 14-15 years old I was walking home on Lake Lenape
drive (Mays Landing, NJ) and I felt suddenly uneasy and scared(I had never felt
this way before it is a very small safe town where everyone looked out for one
another...anyway) I turned around and saw a black hooded figure that seemed to
walk/float taking very large steps aprox 2-3 steps between telephone poles. I
thought I was seeing things, turned around and walked a little further and
turned to look again. This time the figure was closer, needless to say I was
terrified to the point that I froze. Then it wasn't there anymore it was about
20 feet away from me when it disappeared. It didn't have a face that I could see
it looked like well I can't really describe it except to say it wore a black
cloak and I couldn't see a face. It disturbs me to this day. I never told
anyone because I think they would have thought I was nuts. I am curious as to
whether anyone else ever saw something similar. When I first saw it I thought
it was someone playing a prank. But whatever it was stood at least 7-8 feet
tall and when it "vanished" I ruled out it being a prank. Any help with this
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
Great website! There are some discrepancies I would like to make you aware of as a professional courtesy.
There is no Premise Made Candy Shop. ( Mentioned on our 'Haunted Places Page 8' ) The shop is The Shoppes of Premise Maid. It is located on route 222 in Breingsville, PA. The shop is not haunted by two children and an angry bootlegger. There is another building with connections to Premise Maid which is haunted. Yes, there are two children there, a girl and her younger brother. The man who also haunts it went to New York where he was successful, but was involved in a scandal and returned home in disgrace. I investigated the haunted building at the owner's request. He prefers to remain anonymous.
Whoever gave you the information about Premise "Made" may have confused this place with a haunting in a "Pennsylvania Mill Town" that was investigated by the late Dr. Karlis Osis, who was the president of the American Society for Psychical Research, and Donna McCormick, his assistant. One of the haunters was an angry bootlegger. The name of the town was not given because the haunted building is a private home.
I know there is a General Warren Inne in Malvern, ( 'Haunted Places page 8' )but I have not heard of it being haunted. The General Wayne Inn at 625 Montgomery Ave. in Merion is. I have read about this in several books and have friends who investigated it. Perhaps this is the one that was featured on Unsolved Mysteries as was Pennsylvania Hall at Gettysburg College. I remember seeing that segment!
Lehigh University ( 'Haunted Places page 8' ). I have been in the Linderman Library where the pesky old male ghost is supposed, but have not been able to substantiate his validity.
Easton Library ( 'Haunted Places page 9' ). It is not a rumor that this was built on a cemetery. It is fact. There is a book, Ghosts of the Lehigh Valley, Adams and Seibold, that claims when the library was being built, it was not known that it was on a cemetery site. This is also not true. I have researched the history of the library and have found old newspaper clippings and pictures that evidence this. Mammy Morgan and William Parsons are buried on the grounds. Some of the librarians have shared their experiences with me. Not all of the bodies were claimed when the graveyard was dug up and they were buried in a mass grave. There is an indentation in the back exit that marks where the mass grave is. I am not the only one who gets the creeps when I am over this place.
The State Theater, in Easton, is haunted by a ghost who, in life, was Fred Osterstock who had managed the theater. His ghost has been seen. The theater also has awards for talented youths called Freddies in honor of him.
The hand-print in the wall in Cell 17 is that of Alexander Campbell ( 'Haunted Places page 8' ). I first heard about this from the sheriff's son who was a friend of mine when we were teenagers. It is, now called the Old Jail and there are tours of the place. The Molly Maguires were a coal mining union made up of the Irish. One day, an employee of Lehigh Coal & Navigation was killed. I remember the Pinkertons played a nasty role in the conflict. Four men were convicted of the crime and were hung. It is true that, as proof of his innocence, Campbell placed his hand on the wall and said, that the print could not be removed. To this day, all attempts at doing so have been said to have failed.
Moravian College ( 'Haunted places page 8' ), one of my alma maters.... The Brethrens House, originally was built to house single men before it became past of the college. It was used as a hospital during the Revolution. There have been reports of sightings of a Revolutionary War nurse. I had heard about the workman who saw something, left his job and did not return, but had not heard what he saw.
I hope this information enhances your site. I look forward to hearing from you about your feedback. I am also aware of some tall tales about Moravian College on websites that have no basis in reality.
Regards,
Jill Stefko

my house is haunted and my friend claims she can feel presences. yesterday she
said she could feel him in the room with us. a few years ago my brother saw him
but he wouldn't remember now. but we can remember he said he saw a little boy by
the door in my parents room in the night.
friend:
he is believed to be a Victorian he is a mischief maker and the house used to be
a Victorian church house. I can feel presences and think that he could go by
finding his way out by leaving through one of the doors that leads out and is
blocked up. I believe that he died in the front room to the right because he has
only been heard or seen near that area. I have stayed a night and he has not
bothered me but I can tell he is there.
me:
yesterday my friend saw on the sofa a pressed down part as though some one was
sitting there as we left the room it became normal again
we would like your help from me and friend

My five year old daughter talks about a friend of my father's named David that
died before I was born.
First I should tell you about how David died. My father was David's best friend
and bought him a gun for his birthday, it was a pistol. At a party when David
was drunk he shot himself playing Russian roulette. My father blames himself for
this and doesn't really ever talk about David.
Now on with the story. One night my daughter came and woke me up telling me
about a man named David who had pushed her back into the driveway when she had
rode her bike out into the street. She said the man kissed her forehead and
left. I told her she had a dream and to go back to bed. The next morning she
was drawing a picture I thought was strange. When I asked her who it was she
said it was "GrandDaddy's David" (granddaddy is what she calls my father) I let
her finish drawing her picture. I called my mother and asked if they had told my
daughter about David. She said no, and that I should know better, because my
father never really talks about him.
A few weeks went by and nothing was said about David then one day the kids were
outside playing and I called them in for their bath. My daughter didn't come so
I started looking for her. I could hear her talking but I couldn't see her so I
followed her voice. I found her sitting under a tree talking up a storm with
someone. When I asked who she was talking to she gave me a look like I was an
idiot looked to her right and said David. As we were walking back to the house
she said "Mommy do you know granddaddy's David?" I said "I know of him and I
told her he went to live with Jesus before I was born" She looked up at me and
said "David broke granddaddy's heart." The way she said it was so matter of fact
and calm. It just seemed like she knew what had happened.
Now my son who is 3 is telling us about the big man with blonde curly hair.
David and my father were power lifters before he died and David had blonde curly
hair. I don't know what is going on I just know that my children who learned
nothing about David from me or my family seem to know he personally now. Does
anyone have any answers for me? If they are truly seeing and talking with him
can I get some answers from him? Why do you think he picked my children to come
to instead of me and my brothers and sisters? Thanks for your time.
Jordan Martin
*Hello! It is believed that children are more susceptible to seeing spirit entities because of their innocence and open minds to such energies. For seeking answers/communicating, you can try EVP or a reliable sensitive whom can communicate with the deceased to find out the answers for you.
Hope this helps!

My friend claims to have seen this on Halloween night last year. Supposedly off
the Glacial Drumlin Trail in Waukesha, WI back in the 1930's on Halloween night
a Man found out his wife got pregnant with another man and threw her off the
bridge for cheating on him and just when she landed a train came by and hit her.
They still cannot find the body for the missing woman, however at Midnight on
Halloween night each year you can see a ghostly image of the woman get thrown
off the bridge and the train coming by and hitting her. Also you can hear her
screaming as the train is coming by and hitting her and supposedly the train will
last until 12:12am.

Derby's old High School(Lincoln) is now being made into an old people's house.
But in the building there have been reportings that it is haunted by a little
girl and boy. I have seen it myself!!!!! My friend Kayla and I saw the school door
opened so we went to get my other friend to come with us to go inside and see if
it is haunted. We were gone for only 2 minutes when we came back the door was
locked!!! We got so scared and left, that night we looked out the window and we
saw a little girl maybe about 7 years old on the window of the old high school!!!
And we all at the same time said look!!!! After that day we were so scared we
never went back!!! You might not believe me but it is very true!!!!

Nice site. You need to add Waverly Hills TB Hospital to the Kentucky page. I have been to this place twice to investigate and this place is definitely haunted. There is a movie coming out that was filmed there. There were reported over 60,000 people that died there. This is where I seen my first ghost. Very interesting place. Thanks.

Okay, a good Place to get a thrill would be Horse Thieves Canyon Road... Me and
my Freind Ray were walking up in the hills of Horse Thieves Canyon Road, as we
were attempting to walk up the Darkend Road around 4:oo am, we stopped to look
around, suddenly we heard the sound of Moaning. It was sort of like: "Huh! Huh!
Huh!" quickly though. Then immediately stopped. Me and my Friend froze, slowly
walked backwards and walked off the trail and onto the Coldasack which was
lighted up by a single street light. We attempted walking up the road once
again, and stopped in the same spot to where we heard the moaning... There was
no sound, just the Cold Darkness of the night. My friend Ray flintched for some
reason and I thought he was reacting to the wind when later on he told me that
he saw a tree branch move humanly. We walked back up and he showed me the tree
that Moved and I staired at it... nothing moved. We then looked up the path and
saw Black and white Images floating back and forth about 300 feet away. We
turned and walked toward my house again when me and Ray were talking about
something, We were passing Fire station number 6 which is right up the road from
the Path, when we heard the same moan right behind us, only this time the
invisable spirit moaned once, a quick: "Huh!" we turned around, there was
nothing there. Some say that if a person brings a bright enough flashlight that
the person will be thrown to the ground. Obviously whatever Romes the Hills
doesnt like light.

Many years ago I was on a date. I just sold my residence & moved down the street
in my mothers new residence on a temporary basis. Being in-between places &
knowing my mother was out of town on travel, I brought my date back to my
mothers home to watch a movie. No lights were on, just the TV. We got rather
friendly & a few minutes later this black mass came through the ceiling and
traveled on an approximate 30 degree downwards angle through the hall door than was
closed. All of a sudden, a banging sound that was extremely loud came from down
the hallway. It sounded like someone was pounding their fist on the floor every
1/2 a second. Make no mistake about it, nothing similar sounded like that. Not
banging pipes, a bad bearing in a furnace or A/C unit, etc. Clearly, the sound
was not in the basement, at the front door or anywhere else. It was exactly
behind the door.
Needless to say, after 30 seconds or so we got out of there. The house used to
be owned by a well known lady that passed away. I never took a date back to the
home & shortly moved away.

I work in an old Victorian Building called the Brown House Inn, it is the Home
of Victorian Past Times. There is a season where we specialize in Haunted Teas,
in which we dress and act as though we are from the Victorian Era. The house
used to belong to the Brown family, Louisa Brown was the mother of four children
and in child birth died after having the fourth child. She wanders the upstairs
hallway and moves pictures, she used to move furniture but she's stopped that for
the time being. She also shuts off all the lights when we have an unruly crowd,
which is less often during the Haunted Teas then the Christmas ones. All and all
she's a very sweet ghost who just likes her peace and quiet, she's never hurt a
soul. I have seen her while walking up the stairs with my friend who also works
there and we both got very cold and could not move (to be honest I was scarred
to death)but after she was gone we could breath easier and could function
better. Needless to say we no longer go upstairs at work without the lights on.

My family and I lived in the Dutton Mansion, a large, yellow house in this small
town. It was said to be one of, if not, the oldest house in the town and is
protected by the Historical Assocation, if I'm not mistaken. I lived there until
I was 12 and throughout those years my entire family experienced an arrange of
unexplainable things, but not very often. I remember my friends always being so
scared of the place and few have actually visited.
First, when I was about 8 or 9, I was sleeping in my room. I can't remember what
time it was, but I will admit that my window faced the street and I had lights
dance across my wall every time a car went by. However, I remember rolling over
and seeing a distinct apparition of a face on my wall across the room. I remember
it being slightly misty and it just lingered there, smiling off and on, almost
like it were making faces at me. I rolled over, scared to even get out of bed,
and went back to sleep hoping I was just groggy. This occurred every night for
about a week. I would sleep facing away because I was too scared to stare at it.
One night, I got fed up and walked into my room, turned out the light, hoping it
would still be there. It was, so I ran out of the room to tell my dad. When he
came in, it was gone and I never saw it again. To this day, I don't know what it
could have been. My room had not been recently moved around and nothing outside
had been different.
My oldest sister lived up in what we believed to be the hired help part of the
house. It was located on the second floor with two stairways and very much like
an apartment with a bathroom, two bedrooms, and its own kitchen. Kind of set off
from the rest of the house. Her bedroom was up a flight of stairs and at the top
was the door to her closet. I remember never wanting to enter it because it just
gave off weird vibes. I've been told that she had had a friend over one day and
she was going up the steps to get something and saw a very vivid figure of an
older woman in a rocking chair in the doorway of the closet. She screamed and
never came back to the house.
We had a library located on the bottom floor of the house, just beside the main
staircase. My dad would stay up into the morning hours just reading. He's
reported that on a couple of occasions, he's heard vicious arguing somewhere
within the house. He would leave the room and stand at the bottom of the stairs
and look up, trying to pinpoint the origin. It was seemingly distant and he
couldn't make out the words, but it would just fade away. We lived at the
intersection of two busy roads. We had no nearby neighbors. The voices were said
to be definitely inside the house.
My sister lived on the very top floor. Her bedroom was just above my own. One
night, she was woken up by screaming. Loud, terrified screams outside her window.
She ran across the hall to my brother's room and woke him up. Nobody else heard
this, but they said that it sounded like someone outside in the street. It was
very much human and when they looked outside, there was no one there. There were
no cars going by. This, too, just faded.
This last occasion is the most recent and I was about 10 at the time. I can't
really remember what age exactly. My brother and I were up in his room just
playing around and fighting like siblings do one night. My dad was downstairs in
the office and we were the only ones home. The house was dark, because my dad
hadn't been out of the office to turn on any lights and my brother and I didn't
really bother too either, besides the one in his bedroom. The two of us suddenly
heard the TV outside in the "TV room" (a large area in between my sister and his
bedroom) come on. It was all static and this was an ancient TV; the kind you have
to pull the dial to turn on. We were scared and perplexed, but my brother simply
turned it off. We got over it and went about playing around again. It was only a
few minutes later when the TV did this again. This time, we were terrified and
ran to get my dad. He came up, when the static was still playing, and unplugged
it. It never did it again. I don't think it could have been a technical error. We
didn't go back up there that night.
There were also the typical bumps and such, but we usually played them off as the
house just being old. It just held this uneasy feeling and both my sister and I
always ran up the steps because we got this feeling like we were being chased.
There were some rooms that just made your skin tingle, but it really wasn't that
bad of a place to live. I don't know much about the history of the place, but it
was a huge estate that was broken up when the road was put in. It was located on
a creek and the owners originally lived in a house currently located across the
street running a wood mill. They collected the best wood and built the mansion.
There was a carriage house as well and we had our own well.
Currently, the house is being renovated and is owned by a descendant of the
original owners. I'd love to know whether this place still has activity,
especially now that it's being torn apart and changed so much.

272 S. street in Madisonville Kentucky--my friend Ann H. lived there and one
night ((this kind of thing happened all the time before they moved)) her and her
sister and mom were watching TV and heard something on the porch. They turned
off the TV and listened...then it started again a loud thump on the porch...
they ran into the bedroom and flicked on the light-a lot of weird things
happened then...you heard a thump coming from under the floor- like something
was running under the house and hitting its head...these kinds of hauntings
happened all the time--and once Ann turned off the light and a hand reached
around the door!! I AM NOT LYING! of course that's why I gave an address....

We have been living in our home a 1979 split level for approximately 10 years now. During that time I have heard people walking up and down our stairs, seen an orange disappearing cat and most recently taken pictures that showed two orbs. Now I don't think that the place is haunted but more of a passage way. My son often complained of shadow people walking through his room and looking in his window and calling to him. Anyway they are mostly quiet except for the walking up and down on the stairs. I am curious to know whether these spirits came with us or were here previously.

*Hello! That would depend. Even though there's always the possibility of spirits following you or attaching themselves to you, or an object/family, the question to ask yourself would be, did you ever experience anything before hand? Has these same events, ( or similar ), happened to you in another location?
Actually, I ran into a spirit in Germany and trust me I wouldn't want him following me. I have always thought that this house might be a portal because as far as I know no one died in it - as to whether or not anyone is buried around it or under it I'm not sure. But so far whatever it is making the noises they aren't that troublesome. The disappearing cat is the one that freaks me out since I don't own a cat.

*It also shows you are sensitive to have 'picked up' on spirit entities before, and some times, spirits who notice this, will wish to try to communicate with you. If none are doing any harm that is the good thing! Maybe the town records will shed some light as to what was there previously, and if not, ley lines, or a possible portal is could be. Most animal entities are usually good and if all it does is appear then disappear, I don't think you'll have any problems with it.
Jami: Thank you for the information.
*Maybe placing a night light in your sons room, and/or covering the window at night will help him some. He may still hear them though, but if he should tell them, respectfully, or you can do this too, for them to let him sleep, they may listen to you.

Hello,
I know of a good place were there are ghosts at. This was a haunting that I will
never ever forget. Me and a couple of friends went to a place in Hartsville SC
it is a place called Antioch School. Its a really crazy place because for some
reason they have closed the place down and covered all of the windows with wood
and put huge padlocks on the door. But one night we happened to get in to the
place and so much stuff went on in there I found an old desk and busted the
window just so I could get out. But about 10 people went in there with me and
everyone came out screaming. The parts of the school is the cafeteria which is
by the front door and in the back is the little window that we have entered
through and all the way down the hall is the classrooms and the bathroom (were
we encountered our worst fears)and with the windows all closed up it is dark in
there in the daytime. But one night we went in and we took a couple flashlights
and a couple lighters and we went to the farthest classroom down the hallway and
as soon as we stepped in the door the people that I was with asked the people
behind me if they were bumping into each other and when we shined the flashlight
they were about 5 feet apart so we moved on to a old couch in the hallway and
turned off the flashlights and way at the end of the hallway we could see
something moving back and forth and as soon as we turned on the flashlights it
was gone and the last room we went to was the bathroom and as soon as we entered
it was really cold and as soon as one of my friends screamed we looked at the
wall and a reddish looking substance mixed with water was running down the walls
and there was blood on us. It was everywhere on our shirts and on our arms and I
looked where it was coming from and everyone of my friends had several cuts on
them I had cuts on my lip and arms and stomach and my white tee shirt had blood
all over it. As soon as that happened I broke the window out with the old desk
and we got out, got in the car and never been back. I need help finding out
what happened in that old school. This is the first time I have ever talked
about it because its only been 2 years since the first time we went and the last
time that we will ever go.I have looked for the history of the school and I
cannot find out anything about it but the building is still standing and the
windows still closed up but I really need to find out about this school. Will
you please help me.

*We do not approve of vandalism, for it could land you in all sorts of trouble, including jail time, and we worry more about your safety than anything else! It is great to learn you had permission to visit the place! With that said...
Try seeking information at your local library and/or maybe old town records. We did find Antioch road, church, etc., but nothing about an old school. Maybe even the locals whom have lived there a while may provide you with some information about it. Make notes and compare the information that you acquire and see if anything adds up.
Hope this helps you in
