Not a week goes by where I don’t receive some type of e-mail asking me if Ghost Adventures is fake or is the evidence that the Ghost Adventures crew presenting as physical evidence actually real.
Unfortunately, this is an easy answer. But if you forced me to give you a simple yes or no my answer would be yes it’s fake but not entirely fake. You see shows like Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters and any other paranormal show only stay on the air if they get ratings so from time to time some of the evidence may have an explainable answer or worse yet some evidence may have been conjured up or doctored in order to make it seem as if you’re viewing something supernatural.
One thing to keep in mind is that Zak and Nick have both gone to film school and know how to manipulate viewers. Baking is something subtle as lighting or just changing the tone of their voice in order to make your mind jumped to a conclusion they want to see. Next time you watch Ghost Adventures people account for how many times the guys become overly dramatic because after all, they have been doing this for a few years so they shouldn’t always be scared by every little thing that goes bump in the night. Also keep track of what you’re watching and watch for clever video editing techniques which become more obvious if you watch the show via DVR and play a scene back a few times.
Do I think is wrong that the show has some fake elements to it? Not really. You see shows like Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters do something that most of us in this field cannot and that is bring the paranormal phenomenon’s to light and get other people talking openly about experiences they themselves have had. The more people talk the more data experts are able to collect which will allow for some answers to things we can’t currently explain someday in the not-too-distant future.
So next time you see Zak with his tight shirt and spiky hair on the Travel Channel it’s okay to be skeptical about what you view because in all likelihood some of it isn’t exactly what you’re being told is however be sure to keep an eye out because I am certain some actual evidence will manifest itself on a television near you. After all these shows are just there to make money for the network with advertisers and because it’s not PBS ratings do matter.

World Trade Center Ghosts Part 2
We’ve been getting a lot of e-mails from people who are working at the newly reconstructed World Trade Center which coincidentally today became the tallest building in New York City at approximately 1250 feet. These e-mails talk of spirits being seen by extraction workers and security guards.
From what we’re told that during the construction people screaming, crying and the sound of footsteps running were commonplace at the site. While other people working there have said just seen shadow people and other apparitions appear and then disappear rather quickly. With all the debts and emotions that are linked to this site there is no wonder that is happening but what I’m finding to be rather ironic is with all these reports we have yet to see a video of any of these events with our own eyes. So if you have experienced any of this phenomenon there please let us know and e-mail us your footage we’d love to share with others in the paranormal and ghost hunting world.
This is actually a sensitive subject with many people myself included because I did lose several friends at this site on September 11, 2001 so I do ask that any videos you do submit or any comments that you happen to make on this website in regards to the World Trade Center site or September 11th, in general, be respectful and tasteful or they will not be shared. Thank you, I hope to hear from many of you very soon.

Orbs interdimensional vehicles for the soul
f you would ever encounter an actual orb then you would have just come into contact with an interdimensional vehicle for the soul. These orbs were known to the Egyptians as “sun boats” and even spoken of in the Bible being referred to in the Old Testament has “Merkabah”. In fact, if you recall in (2 Kings 2:1) when Elijah is taken to heaven by a chariot of fire this reference is actually a perfect example of a true orb. Orbs, after all, are how a soul gets around the earthly dimension once it’s physical, maternal life has ended.orbs-real
Real orbs can not only be seen they can be heard as well. The sound a make is a super high tone that is almost like a squeal inside of the head. While you may not hear it when you see an orb any audio playback should easily reveal an orbs sound.
Orbs are able to assume many appearances including globes, globules, balls of light and even hovering round fiery balls. The range of their illumination varies depending on spiritual strength but they tend to either be bright glowing like fire or dull and even gray.
They always tend to appear approximately eye level and are erratic in their movement. If you were to videotape one they would clearly do things which an ordinary piece of dust or ambient light could not easily replicate.
In my lifetime I’ve probably looked at a few thousand hours of video and nearly a million or so photographs of what people thought were actual orbs and I can honestly say I can count on two hands the amount of times an actual orb phenomenon has actually been presented to me. With that in mind when you’re out on a ghost hunt make sure that you’ve taken the time to debunk any other possibility before you claim an object is a true orb.

Haunted Superstition Mountains
The Superstition Mountains are the subject of many legends, myths and so many details of the paranormal along with hauntings it’s hard to keep track of all of them. One thing you definitely need to do before exploring the Superstition Mountains is to make sure you're in decent shape and bring along a guide because regardless of whatever else you believe about them these mountains are dangerous and often times deadly with many lost souls who have died in them.haunted superstition Mountains
When you think of the Superstition Mountains most people think about the Lost Dutchman Mine and all of the gold that Jacob Walz supposedly pulled out of this place. Many men have lost their lives looking for this cursed gold mine and I’m sure many more will probably die in vain victims of this treacherous mountain. The main reason for all of these tests besides difficult to manage terrain and excessive heat is for hundreds of years now the Superstition Mountains have been considered sacred by a few different Native American tribes.
Now I’m sure in the olden days some of these deaths were a result of people trespassing on Indians lands I also firmly believe that there is something to the whole these mountains are a haunted theory. Now I’ve seen ghosts before in the past but twice now during my visits to the superstition Mountains I’ve seen something that I don’t know how to explain I just know there is no possibility it was a living person or a human’s ghost. What I saw there was something around 7 feet tall and had the head of a black panther and also had wings on his back along with very long claws upon its hands. This entity walked upright yet it left no tracks and made no sounds except for a high pitched humming noise.
Now in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains and within a mile or so of Weaver’s needle you may come across the spirits of many deceased prospectors still trying to find the lost Dutchman mine maybe 50 to 100 years since they passed away.
If you do visit the Superstition Mountains make sure that you take plenty of water and plan accordingly because on top of a lot of paranormal activity occurring here this place is probably one of the most deceptively dangerous places that you can visit on the face of the earth. Good luck with your ghost hunting and if you do visit the Superstition Mountains let me know what evidence you find if any. Keep it spooky— The GhostMap team

The ghosts of Japan's tsunami
It has been over one year since the horrific tsunami in Japan. It doesn't surprise me that there have been many reports of people seeing ghosts in the areas most affected by that gigantic wave of water after all more than 19,000 people lost their lives in that natural disaster. is much like the ghosts that haunt Ground Zero at the World Trade Center in New York after 9/11 because when that many people lose their lives many of them will still have something tying them to this world. Perhaps, one day I will be able to go to Japan and witness this mass hunting paranormal phenomenon but until then I must rely on other people who happen to have visited the still damaged cities of Japan from what I have heard what's going on in Japan one year after the tsunami as well and about the area is there had been a few thousand reported sightings in the last 12 months.
As with any area with mass death in order to get rid of the haunting phenomena of the area, there must be a cleansing ritual performed to allow for these trapped spirits to move on to the afterlife as opposed to being trapped here on earth for who knows how long until there Spirit is granted a release.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were affected by the tsunami and those who actually experience the earthquake because many of these people lost everything that day including loved ones who passed to the great beyond or are walking this earth as ghosts.
If you'd like more information about vehicles that are currently more in the streets in Japan or if you just want to make a general comment about the tsunami, earthquake or even just the paranormal in general feel free to comment below and we will attempt to answer any of your questions especially those about the ghost hunting the tsunami area affected cities.
Alcatraz Haunted
Alcatraz has found a renewed interest in it as of late thanks to various television shows and books being written about the best-known prison in the United States. Alcatraz (Spanish for island of pelicans) is on an island near San Francisco Bay and was considered an inescapable prison so all of the worst of the prison system were sent here.
Not only was Alcatraz supposedly inescapable the prison was notorious for its brutality. Executions were carried out in the prison via electric chair or hanging and prisoners who broke the rules were placed in solitary confinement which were cells with no light whatsoever entering Them and never left in these prison cells sometimes for months at a time. Many prisoners were said to have gone mad from the solitary confinement and reportedly suffered from hallucinations claiming to see all of the people of died on the rock. Perhaps what prison officials labeled as hallucinations were actually prisoners seeing actual ghosts.Alcatraz prison haunted
Alcatraz prison is actually very old, in fact, it was first built during the American Civil War. Back then, however the prison was called “The Citadel” and was a war camp. Many prisoners back in those days suffered unspeakable horrors from wartime torture methods. Years later after the war the Citadel collapsed but years later Alcatraz prison was actually built on top of the citadels ruins with the underground structures and tunnel systems still in place.
Probably the most famous inmate to ever serve time at Alcatraz was Al Capone. Capone arrived at Alcatraz in the late 1930s to serve time for tax fraud. Many of the prisoners Alcatraz were from rival gangs of Capone’s so he opted to not ever go into the yard instead spent his time practicing the banjo in the prison showers.
Al Capone AlcatrazLater in life before his death Capone said that he was routinely kept awake at night by ghosts inside the prison. According to Capone, the ghost that haunted him the most was that of Myles O’Bannion and Irish rival gang member who Capone himself had killed. The paranormal activity reportedly persisted throughout Capone’s time at the prison causing the mobster to become very paranoid after lights out.
Al Capone was playing in the prison band one day and a trumpet player made a comment about Al Capone’s fall from luxury which evolved into a fight in which Al Capone broke his banjo over the trumpet players head. This fight led to Capone being placed in solitary confinement for a week and during that in total darkness Al Capone began to develop dementia. Over time Al Capone would end up spending his life forgetting about all the things in his life.
Upon his release Capone was refused entry into the Chicago gang that he had made and gang members went as far as to start calling now Capone "As Nutty as a Fruitcake". Capone and of spending the rest of his days in a large house in the countryside and he died before the end of the second world war.
To this day people who tour the showers at Alcatraz claim they can hear music coming from the showers and the sounds get louder late at night. Could it be that the ghost of Al Capone comes back to the place where he enjoyed the music he made? After all, he was the only prisoner allowed to play an instrument in the showers while the other prisoners were out in the yard.Al Capone mug shot
However, Al Capone is nowhere near being the most unstable ghost to walk Alcatraz in the afterlife. That title goes to Jim Cooks a prisoner from back in the time when the prison was called The Citadel. He was a soldier during the Civil War who file for the North and was a shell-shocked cannibalistic murderer. During the war, one of Cooks close friends in battle was killed so Cook went to his generals house and murder him and his entire family. Cook gruesomely tour each body apart and left pieces of his victims scoured across the house and some even in his belly.
Cooks admitted to the killings and was sentenced to serve time at The Citadel. Upon his arrival, he was taken to one of the underground complexes and tortured. The gruesome torture Cooks was subjected to eventually took his life. Prison guards over a two-week period slowly cut Cooks into pieces starting with his fingers and toes. They would cut a few bits off every day then they would cauterized the wounds so that he would make it to the next day's torture.the citadel
The insane ghost of Jim Cook now haunts the underground part of The Citadel/Alcatraz. His ghost is probably the most violent one anyone will encounter on the island and he allegedly even drove a few inmates to their death causing them to become insane and kill themselves. As a result of Jim Cook’s ghost, most of the prison guards and prisoners would not enter the underground citadel complex. In fact, even to this day nearly every tour guide and park official at Alcatraz refuses to enter the underground part of the prison out of fear of Jim Cooks.
If you decide to take a tour of Alcatraz keep a lookout for any ghosts that may be lurking about and an ear out for anything out of place. With all the violence that went on inside of this prison and the amount of people who died or lost their minds here your bound to see something paranormal. Keep it spooky and let us know about your visit to Alcatraz or any other haunted location for that matter.

Fort Kent and Windingo
Today, I decided for our haunted location we’ll head north of the border and discuss a haunted location in Canada. The location I have chosen to speak about his Fort Kent, Alberta, Canada.
Fort Kent has quite the horrid history as it was the location of some of the most bloody murders in Canadian history. For Kent to this day actually is haunted by something other than a ghost, it is haunted by a demon named Windigo.
Windigo is a very powerful demon who is the captain of the guard and Lucifer’s army. His spirit has the ability to take over any weak minded body, from animals to human beings. He has quite the appetite for blood and regularly slaughters of various animals in the area in order to satisfy his blood cravings. Windigo was never a human so any human contact with this entity should be done with the greatest of care because most of the traditional methods of preventing possession will not work with this being.
The grisly murders that occurred at Fort Kent center around a medical student named Tomas Burton. Burton and his wife Katie moved into Fort Kent during a time where a plague had engulfed the entire village. Fort Kent residents were overjoyed that someone with medical knowledge has finally come to the diseased town. Every day it seemed like people came to Kent’s home seeking treatment for their diseases. One day however, Burton’s wife Katie became ill from this play as well and died just a few days after contracting the disease. Not long after, Burton engulfed with depression was possessed by Windigo. The very evening he was possessed, Tomas Burton went door to door across the town and systematically slaughtered nearly everyone living in Fort Kent. Some of the townspeople were even partially eaten by Burton. After that night, Burton had vanished from the town and was never seen again.

Reader submitted ghost story
I have a story from like 2 years ago. So, me and my friend were hanging out in her room, saying and doing nothing.
The house was quiet and no one was moving or talking. All of a sudden, her raggedy ann boy doll thing fell from her top shelf. No one had moved or shaken the house so it was impossible for it to have fallen. We looked at each other and ran for our lives. We ran and ran until we were in her backyard. We were so scared we didn’t know what to say. Ever since I was little, I’ve always felt that kind of "presence" i always felt like something was there. I didn’t know until 4th grade what to call it. Ever since, the 4th grade, I’ve been scared out of my mind. I used to wake up at 7:45 for no reason.
I would go downstairs and mess around on the family computer. I would hear the weirdest and most unexplainable sounds. Another time, I was going to pour myself a bowl of Rice Crispies and before I could get the bag to pour them in my bowl, the rice crispies started floating to the top. When i told my friends about it they all laughed at me
Ryan Buell battling pancreatic cancer.
Ryan Buell the star of A&E’s supernatural reality series Paranormal State tops to fans on Facebook about how he’s battling pancreatic cancer.
The 30-year-old paranormal star told his fans on his Facebook page that last week he had been in the hospital and was getting ready to relocate the headquarters for the Paranormal Research Society.
"Thank you all for your continued prayers and well-wishes," Buell posted. "I won’t lie, I have been in and out of the hospital all week. … There are days where I hardly have strength to move, but I sometimes hear chants in the back of my head; cheers, telling me to get up and rise. And that keeps me going every day! God bless you all!"
Earlier this week he was hospitalized due to complications with his kidneys and he underwent successful surgery earlier this week and is now reportedly resting comfortably at home.
Patrick Swayze and Steve Jobs both died from pancreatic cancer in recent years, giving added visibility to one of the deadliest forms of the disease.

My ghost experiences the early years
I seemingly could always ghosts. As a child, however, I didn’t know exactly what they were. These ghosts looked like everyday normal people and not the gray are scary ghosts you see portrayed on television or in movies. The only difference I found is early in my life whenever ghost would speak to me I wasn’t able to hear them that’s something that I didn’t develop until a little later in life.
talking to ghostsSometimes the spirits would find ways to scare me albeit I don’t believe on purpose. For example, how would you like to wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water only to find for rather large ghosts standing next to your bed? That happened to me and after that experience, I wasn’t able to sleep for over a week.
Whenever I told people about what I saw they thought I was crazy adults actually wanted me to see a psychiatrist because they believed I was schizophrenic. I eventually kept what I saw a secret not wanting others to write me off as being a crazy nut and that just seemed to make my life more miserable.
If you’re reading this and are someone who experiences the rarity of seeing ghosts don’t let others get you down or make you feel crazy. It’s perfectly normal but is extremely rare. I find the best way to deal with it is just let it be and don’t try to tune them out or you will end up driving yourself crazy.
I’m here if you need someone to talk to or if you just want to share your story.

Hospital Ghosts
Don’t know how many of you know this but there’s a large hospital in Phoenix, Arizona named St. Joseph’s Hospital and it actually is one of the most haunted places in the entire southwestern United States. I don’t know if these folks died at this hospital or they just were drawn by the Arizona Sun. The only thing I do know for certain is this hospital is a nesting place for hundreds of spirits manly those of the elderly who have past on.
Ghost Adventures Stanley Hotel
In this episode, the ghost adventure guys visit the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado one of the more documented haunted hotels in the world. If you're familiar with Stephen King he actually was inspired and wrote, “The Shining” in room 217 of this hotel.
The show covers the normal buildup where we learn a little about the Stanley and they bring in a psychic and even a child who claims to have the gift of seeing ghosts. Now I’m not saying she’s being dishonest because many people have the gift to see spirits myself included it just struck me as odd that she said she see’s them at night as if that was the only time. Now I can see them when they reveal them selfs anytime of day or night the movie industry and the fact that darkness is spooky is the main reason ghosts are associated with night. Now it may have been a misspeak or she may just have a limited gift but it just caused me to have a little pause.
I would have like to have seen them explore the Auditorium and Manor House more because from my last ghost hunting trip those were the most active. I actually find it funny that those were the area’s they avoided. I did find it entertaining but nothing really stood out in this episode as a memorable moment other than maybe the fact that they drove up in a hearse.
Ghost Adventures Crew Still Not Answering The Challenge by Robert Bess
The more I hear about the drama between Robert Bess and Ghost Adventures the more I think there’s more going on behind the scenes than many people know. I originally was on the Ghost Adventures side in regards to this drama but the more I think of it why not just accept it I mean if he is a fake like the GAC claims what does accepting the challenge hurt?
In case your unfamiliar with the challenge Robert Bess and his group, The Foundation for Paranormal Research issued a challenge to the guys from Ghost Adventures that involves the capture of a ghost and providing evidence of its capture on the spot. Bess is even willing to let Ghost Adventures pick the location and bring as much help as they need.
If Bess succeeds then he requests Ghost Adventures cancel next season and tell the public exactly why.
When you look at it one of two things will happen either there will be documented proof of the capture of a real ghost or Mr. Bess will fail and all the drama will go away. I really think the fans and those of us who help the show succeed deserve closure so why not just do it?
If Travel Channel and Ghost Adventures need an incentive to get this over and done with I’m willing to go to bat for them and offer up a historic site that I have been invited to do a reading in and no Paranormal TV show has been able to get access to this location even though many have tried. I think would make for an awesome show regardless of Mr Hess’s outcome. So if your up to prove who’s right then I can guarantee you a site that will give you your highest ratings ever.

When you look at it one of two things will happen either there will be documented proof of the capture of a real ghost or Mr. Bess will fail and all the drama will go away. I really think the fans and those of us who help the show succeed deserve closure so why not just do it?
If Travel Channel and Ghost Adventures need an incentive to get this over and done with I’m willing to go to bat for them and offer up a historic site that I have been invited to do a reading in and no Paranormal TV show has been able to get access to this location even though many have tried. I think would make for an awesome show regardless of Mr Hess’s outcome. So if your up to prove who’s right then I can guarantee you a site that will give you your highest ratings ever.
Ghost Adventures Vulture Mine
Ghost Adventures guys visit one of my favorite places on earth the Vulture mine just outside ofWickenburg, Arizona. It’s kind of ironic that when ghost adventures decide to have a lockdown at the Vulture mine Arizona has one of the largest rain storms in 100 years. The reason this amuses me is the area surrounding the mine is filled with washes and a river so the guy’s end up trapped outside the lockdown because of the flooded washes and are escorted back to town by the police. So far ghost adventures have been to my home state of Arizona twice and each time the Travel channel places a disclaimer on the show because Zak always tries something dangerous.
Overall it was a good episode and the guys get some great evp’s and the new emf detector that's supposed to be next to impossible to set off goes off in the old school house. However, the most impressive thing to happen during this episode, in my opinion, is when the guys capture a piano playing when in fact by pushing the keys by hand the piano didn’t play. I wish the guys could have spent more time at the hanging tree and near the glory hole of the mine but at least we got to hear a ghost make fun of Aaron by calling him a bowling ball head.
If the guys ever return to this site I hope the plan for a little extra time and maybe check out the stage massacre site up the road a little bit because it seems to give off a stronger presence.

Ghost Adventures return to Bobby Mackey’s Again
The guys of Ghost Adventures return to Bobby Mackey’s Music World again this season and learn some more interesting things about the only location that the Ghost Adventures crew is actually afraid of. This former slaughterhouse turned country music bar is a hotbed of demonic and paranormal activity sometimes regarded as a Hellmouth (A doorway to hell.)
The last time the guys visited Bobby Mackey’s Music world in 2009 with 100 people as a group investigation they had demonic spirits followed them home. During the weeks following the Bobby Mackey visit spirits went to the guys homes and banged pots and pans, ripped off a rosary off a girlfriends of Zaks and his it in another room and because of frequent Bobby Mackey music world dreams by Aaron and his wife the guys put an 80% chance on the fact that the evil spirits tormenting Aaron’s love life and causing his wife to divorce him.
The most talked about spirit is that of Joahonna a dancer who killed herself back when this place was known as the Latain Quarters. It’s ironic that one of Bobby Mackey's most popular songs is about someone named Joahonna. The guys go on to imply that perhaps there is a demonic connection between Bobby Mackey and this place because one day after he was born his mother changed his name from Randy Mackey to Ronald Randell Mackey .
As it turns out Robert Randell was Johanna’s boyfriend who died. Also, they claim that maybe Bobby Mackey’s music may be fueling the demonic activity because without Bobby Mackey this place would set empty but because he’s here playing his music this place is full of new victims for the demonic spirits to feast on.
The guys show some old video footage of former caretaker Carl Lawson who was possessed by a demonic spirit when he lived at Bobby Mackey’s and his exorcism that took place on the property. Keeping with the exorcism and demonic spirit theme the guys bring in Bishop James Long who was attacked in the 2009 lockdown when they go down to the basement. The guys get a ton of EVP’s when the Bishop provokes the spirits in the basement. Then confessed evil worshiper Scott Jackson who decapitated Pearl Bryan girlfriend in the basement as a blood sacrifice to the devil comes threw via evp referring to himself by name then confessing to the murder by naming EVP comes threw and confesses to the murder of Pearl Bryan by name.
Then after the camera’s go off the guys imply Aaron was possessed and threatened to kill the bishop. All in all, it was an enjoyable episode but I think I’d prefer to see more places they haven’t visited before rather than going to old locations especially for a 3rd time.

Villisca Ax Murder House
Almost forgotten amidst the rolling hills and fields of southwestern Iowa is the little town of Villisca; a calm, peaceful place of only a few hundred people and one tragic and enduring mystery. It was here, in June 1912, that a frightening mass murder took place, wiping out an entire family. The murder was never solved, casting a pall over Villisca that still lingers today.
And this dark cloud may not be the only thing still lingering here. There are many who believe that the spirits of the murdered family may still remain here as well, their ghosts haunting the old house where they once lived and tragically died.

Wow Derek Acorah how did you not see this coming
If you ever watched a TV show called Most Haunted you're probably familiar with famed psychic medium Derek Acorah.
Anyway I find it rather humorous that Derek Acorah had to cancel a live audience reading in Scotland due to “unforeseen circumstances”. One would assume that a psychic would see things coming or at the very least not state that your absence was do to anything unforeseen.
How can people pay this man to give them a reading on their life if he can’t even foresee events in his own?
If any of you are wondering what the unforeseen circumstance was according to spokesman for Acorah the star was left stranded while travelling to the venue after his crew filled his van with the wrong fuel at a motorway service station. Folks just be careful out there there are many fakes who just want to take your hard earned money.

Robert Bess Paranormal Loser
Do you remember the Halloween episode of Ghost Adventures that was a LIVE lock down?
Paranormal investigator Robert Bess you know the guy who threw his electromagnetic field detector and then tried to lie and say a ghost did it. Anyway after he was outed as a fake by the Ghost Adventures Crew last year in the live shows recap episode Robert Bess is challenging the guys of Ghost Adventures to a “Paranormal Showdown” where if he can capture a ghost on live TV and produce real evidence on the spot the Ghost Adventure crew must cancel their upcoming season and tell the world why.
I think this guy just knows that after he got caught faking his ghost experience on live TV the only way for him to save face is to try to prove he’s legit. He’s probably counting on the fact that Ghost Adventures probably want to distance themselves from him as much as possible because nobody wants to be associated with a fraud. I really hope these guys don’t accept the challenge because Robert Bess has probably been spending the time since he was exposed as a fake trying to figure out how to pull off a big fraud on the ghost adventure guys so he can take them down to.
Robert Bess needs to either just come clean and admit he faked the evidence as the footage clearly shows or he needs to just get out of all paranormal fields because anybody who associates themselves with him will automatically have any evidence they may gather dismissed as fake.

Niagara Falls Ghosts in the Screaming Tunnel
I thought I’d bring up a not so well known Haunted location today and cover the screaming tunnel at Niagara Falls. The Screaming Tunnel is an abandoned Grand Trunk railway structure located in the Northwest section of Niagara Falls at the end of an empty road only accessible off Queen Elizabeth Highway. The tunnel was constructed by Grand Trunk with hopes of making a railway line from Niagara Falls to New York City but then world war 1 broke out and Grand Trunk had a lot of financial problems so the railway was never finished.
This tunnel is haunted by the ghosts of two small girls. The first was named Sarah. Her family was nearby farmers and one night their farmhouse caught fire. Sarah ran from the home but her clothes caught fire and she burned to death at the center of the tunnel. The other girl named Jean who was 8 years old when she died was taken to the tunnel by her father who raped his own child then burned her alive to cover up all traces of his crime.
If you’ve watched The Dead Zone by Christopher Walken and remember him going into a tunnel for refuge then you’ve seen the Screaming tunnel before.
If you do visit the Screaming Tunnel of Niagara Falls to look for ghosts I do ask that you be respectful and do not try to anger the ghosts to get them to reveal themselves.

The Bell Witch Cave
The Bell Witch of Tennessee is probably one of the most popular ghost stories ever in the United States. Now because of all, that’s been documented on this story I will not go into great detail because if I did it would take hundreds of pages just to cover all the information that is known about this haunting. To make a long story short basically the back in the early 1800’s a farmer named John Bell and his family were tormented and traumatized by s demon for almost 4 years. The haunting was the result of a curse placed on the Bell family by a Ba’al worshiper and this allowed Ba’al to unleash his demonic legion to assist in the tormenting and persecution of the entire Bell family until the curse was fulfilled with the death of John Bell.
A little ways from the site of the old Bell farm near Red River is a cave called the Bell Witch Cave. Now legend has it that this cave is where the spirit went to hide after the death of John Bell until it is able to find it’s next victim. However like most time’s legend gets mixed with anything legend is wrong. Don’t get me wrong this cave is a very bad place but not because of what’s inside of it but it’s a bad place because what is able to come out. You see upon making her deal with Ba’al the eccentric woman who unleashed Ba’al’s legion on the world created a doorway in which they may enter by drawing the symbol of Ba’al on the cave wall using the blood of 7 people and the ground up horn of a ram. This created a Hellmouth for the lack of a better term allowing Ba’al’s legions to enter our world at will while John Bell was alive and once every 12 years during fall harvest season for no more than 12 days.
So if you do visit this area it’s best to avoid it during October because that's when you're at risk if you're in the right numbered year. I hope you enjoyed some added in site to the Bell Witch story. Keep it spooky.

Four Year Old Dies During Exorcism
In Russia, a 4-year-old boy died after his parents had a spiritual healer perform an exorcism on him. It turns out the boy wasn’t actually possessed by evil spirits but simply was ill and had pneumonia. The boy’s parents took him to the “healer” and she performed a ceremony in which he was hypnotized and then kept in a room without food or water for 12 hours.
The child’s parents believed he was possessed by an evil spirit because he was constantly crying and complaining and was unable to hold down food or water. Some people need common sense this is such a case of bad parenting. They should have taken the kid to a doctor and he’d still be around today. I for one hope that the police in Russia find something to charge the parents and the “healer” with and I also hope none of them have any more children.

Ghost Hunters look to assist in missing person case
Here’s some weird but cool news a group of ghost hunters called the Bangor Ghost hunters have volunteered to assist in the search for a woman missing since 1986.
Kimberly Ann Moreau disappeared May 9, 1986 after going out for the night with her friends. Her family never gave up hope and have spent almost 2 and a half decades searching for answers as to what happened to Kimberly. I spent about an hour trying to get a read on the situation with my gift and it’s a bit hazy because I wasn’t able to reach her spirit directly. I do know she did die a violent death because the amount of pain I feel when trying to get a read. It was somebody a little older I feel and I see the name Darryl (not sure why may be a person or street) I see an ugly 3 story building next to a smaller one story building with a weird roof like 3 tabs. There’s like an alleyway between the two building and I can see like a giant smoke stack or something nearby. This is where she was assaulted in the passenger seat of a white Monte Carlo with a bad dash/ignition and bad glove box and two non matching seat covers.
She screams something I can’t totally hear (not sure why but I think I hear her say something then foreigners) and is being choked after he has killed her here he took her to a really woody area. I can’t tell exactly but I see tree’s and think skiing. He sets her body on fire and has this look of being an arsonist or something because he looked like he was in love with the flames. After a wile he buried all traces under the largest tree in a cluster of trees she’s only about a foot under the earth. This is what I feel but since I have no solid proof I will not contact the police because I’ve heard they discourage people with my type of gift from helping them.
So if you have any solid proof or information please contact the Bangor Ghost Hunters for inquiries or call 1-207-659-4053

My rant about ghost hunting
I actually have a few things that bug me when it comes to modern day ghost hunter TV shows. First off why do we call them ghost hunters? They’ll never capture a ghost so wouldn’t ghost observers be more fitting or paranormal evidence hunters? Also, most of the emf stuff in most cases is your mind taking a random regular everyday noise and convincing you it’s a ghost because thats what you want it to be.
Please stop showing me pictures of dust, firefly’s and lights reflecting off of shinny objects and trying to convince me they are ghosts. Also, viewers are smart and thanks to HD we can tell when your using wires and other objects to fake shots *cough Grant Wilson*. However, my biggest pet peeve of all is why do they only look at night? Do they think a ghost will not be out in the day time? They shoot at night because darkness is spooky and it aids in playing tricks in the viewers minds.
Please guys of all the ghost shows on TV start realizing we’re not idiots and treat us right or we’re going to start changing the channel.

Interview with the ghost of Michael Jackson
RIP Michael Jackson
My opinion today has changed after spending some time speaking with the ghost of Michael Jackson. It’s been almost one year since the “King of Pop” passed away on June 25th 2009 (June 25th happens to be my birthday) and he had a few messages he wanted to tell those of us who are still around since he found someone he was able to communicate with.
First off Michael Jackson wanted his fans to know that he is humbled and honored by the fact that his contributions to music is now being recognized and he’s in awe of the outpouring of support his friends and fans showed since his passing.
After a bit, Michael Jackson’s ghost once again fades out and he say’s something I didn’t understand about his sister and spiders and happy ghosts can’t be tickled. At this point, Michael Jackson’s ghost is starting to fade out but he managed to yell out “Tell my children I love them” and then “He now lives to watch them grow”.
A few more seconds Michael Jackson’s ghost kind of faded but this is somewhat normal for newer ghosts because they haven’t absorbed enough energy to show themselves for long periods of times. After my chance encounter with Michael Jackson’s ghost, I must say I am 100% certain that the man got a bad rap in life because of the tabloids. I feel really bad for Michael Jackson because so many people will still view him for the little boy thing and after talking to him I’m certain that those stories had to be lies. Michael Jackson came across as a man who never really grew up emotionally he actually seemed like a scared sweet little boy personality wise.
I encourage everyone out there to do something special to honor Michael Jackson this year on June 25th. Play a Michael Jackson CD, visit his grave, send flowers, or even just do a moonwalk across your office at work. The man was a music genius who got convicted in the court of public opinion for things I’m certain he didn’t do.
Til next time keep it spooky,
Mansfield Reformatory Ghosts
The Mansfield Reformatory, (also known as the Ohio State Reformatory) is a historic prison located at 100 Reformatory Road, Mansfield, Ohio. It is perhaps best known as the prison “Shawshank State Prison” in The Shawshank redemption. In this post, I will attempt to list the main area’s haunted and who are the main spirits who frequent the Mansfield reformatory.
Administration Wing—The administration wing is primarily haunted by the ghost of Warden Arthur Glattke who murdered his wife Helen Glattke and covered it up by claiming that Helen accidentally knocked a loaded .32 off the top shelf in a closet. Warden Glattke haunts this place looking for his wife to apologize for murdering her but unfortunately for him Helen has already passed on.
The Infirmary—Mansfield’s infirmary hosts a wide array of spirits of former prisoners and even a couple of guards. The strongest spirit here is that of a former guard nicknamed Mac. He’s a strong spirit and rather mean because he’s spent the years trying to keep control of many of the ghosts housed here. If you provoke or disrespect Mac with provocation you will be sorry.
The hole–The hole is actually located in the basement of the prison. The hole was a place where prisoners who broke the rules were kept in one of the 20 cells. Inmates would be kept in the dark, dank, roach-infested cells, with one or more inmates, with only bread and water to eat and no place of comfort to sleep.
Many prisoners died in the hole and 7 spirits remain but the strongest ghost here is actually a former employee named George. George is actually a bit off. He loves to scratch, push and sucker attack anyone he can.

Where did Trick Or Treat come from
A lot of the traditions we practice when we celebrate Halloween nowadays have deep seeded roots in the customs of ancient times.
Trick-or-treating, for instance, most likely started from All Soul’s Day parades that were carried out in England many years ago. The reason is that during these parades, needy people would beg for something to eat because they couldn’t afford to purchase food. Other more affluent families, as a result, would give them special pastries called “soul cakes” as a promise to pray for the people in their family that had died.
Not to be forgotten, a lot of families would likewise leave food and drinks outside during All Hallows Eve and All Saint’s Day in order to keep roaming spirits at bay. Many would say that this custom may be where kids dressing up as ghouls and goblins represent the roaming spirits and the candy/food given would concur with that custom.
Which brings us to why we dress in costumes today when we go to parties or go trick-or-treating. Long ago, during Celtic times, special ceremonies were held to signify the ending of Summer and the start of wintertime. This was known as Samhain.
During these ancient celebrations, Celts would dress up in costumes made from animal pelts. The Celts thought that on the evening of October 31st, the dead would be able to cross over from their world back into ours. To keep the spirits from recognizing them, they’d dress in costumes to hide their true identities from the roaming spirits.
They thought that by wearing masks, that this would conceal them and make the wandering spirits believe they were other kindred spirits simply wandering about and leave them alone.
By integrating the disguises and leaving food offerings outside their houses, people of the past believed it would keep restless roaming spirits distracted protecting themselves and their homes from becoming overrun with unwanted spirit guests.
Obviously, nowadays, there are a lot of other types of costumes we wear on Halloween. Not just the traditional witches, hobgoblins, and spirits of the past.
All of this explains why in modern times we wear costumes, hold parties, and go out trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Documented Deaths Caused By A Ghost
One famous paranormal murder was Sir Robert Warboys in 1840’s.
Location: 50 Berkeley Square is a reportedly haunted townhouse at Berkeley Square in Mayfair, a district in the City of Westminster, on the West End of London. In the 1900s it became known as “The Most Haunted House in London.”
Paranormal Murders:
In 1840, the 20-year-old dandy and notorious rake Sir Robert Warboys heard the eerie rumors about the Berkeley Square Thing in a Holborn tavern one night, and laughingly dismissed the tales as ‘unadulterated poppycock’.
Sir Robert’s friends disagreed with him and dared him to spend a night in the haunted second-floor room in Berkeley Square.
Warboys raised his flagon of ale in the air and announced: ‘I wholeheartedly accept your preposterous harebrained challenge!’
That same night, Sir Robert visited the haunted premises to arrange an all-night vigil with the landlord. The landlord tried to talk Sir Robert out of the dare, but the young man refused to listen and demanded to be put up for the night in the haunted room. The landlord finally gave into Sir Robert’s demands, but stipulated two conditions; if the young man saw anything ‘unearthly’ he was to pull a cord that would ring a bell in the landlord’s room below. Secondly, Sir Robert would have to be armed with a pistol throughout the vigil. The young libertine thought the conditions were absurd but agreed to them just to get the landlord out of his hair.
The landlord handed Warboys a pistol and left as a clock in the room chimed the hour of midnight. Sir Robert sat at a table in the candlelit room and waited for the ‘Thing’ to put in an appearance.
Forty-five minutes after midnight, the landlord was startled out of his sleep by the violent jangling of the bell. A single gunshot in the room above echoed through the house. The landlord raced upstairs and found Sir Robert sitting on the floor in the corner of the room with a smoking pistol in his hand. The young man had evidently died from traumatic shock, for his eyes were bulged, and his lips were curled from his clenched teeth. The landlord followed the line of sight from the dead man’s terrible gaze and traced it to a single bullet hole in the opposite wall. He quickly deduced that Warboys had fired at the ‘Thing’, to no avail.
Three years after Warboys’ death, Edward Blunden and Robert Martin, two sailors from Portsmouth, wandered into Berkeley Square in a drunken state and noticed the ‘To Let’ sign at number 50. They had squandered most of their wages on drink and couldn’t afford lodgings, so they broke into number 50. Finding the lower floors too damp, the sailors staggered upstairs and finally settled down on the floor of the infamous room.
It proved to be a serious mistake. Blunden told his friend he felt nervous in the room and felt a ‘presence’, but Martin told his shipmate he’d been at sea too long, and was soon snoring.
A little over an hour later, the door of the room burst open, and the enormous shadowy figure of a man floated towards the sailors. Martin woke up and found himself unable to move. He was paralyzed with fear. Blunden tried to get to his feet, but the entity seized him by the throat with its cold, misty-looking hands and started to choke him.
Martin suddenly gained enough courage to enable him to spring to his feet. He tried to confront the apparition, but was so horrified by its deformed face and body, he found himself fleeing from the house. He encountered a policeman in the square outside and told him of the vapoury assailant that was throttling his friend. He found a policeman and returned to the house just in time to see Blunden jumping out the window, screaming in horror. His body landed on a spiked railing at the front of the house. He was impaled on the spikes and died instantly. Police searched the house but found nothing.
Location: 50 Berkeley Square is a reportedly haunted townhouse at Berkeley Square in Mayfair, a district in the City of Westminster, on the West End of London. In the 1900s it became known as “The Most Haunted House in London.”
Paranormal Murders:
In 1840, the 20-year-old dandy and notorious rake Sir Robert Warboys heard the eerie rumors about the Berkeley Square Thing in a Holborn tavern one night, and laughingly dismissed the tales as ‘unadulterated poppycock’.
Sir Robert’s friends disagreed with him and dared him to spend a night in the haunted second-floor room in Berkeley Square.
Warboys raised his flagon of ale in the air and announced: ‘I wholeheartedly accept your preposterous harebrained challenge!’
That same night, Sir Robert visited the haunted premises to arrange an all-night vigil with the landlord. The landlord tried to talk Sir Robert out of the dare, but the young man refused to listen and demanded to be put up for the night in the haunted room. The landlord finally gave into Sir Robert’s demands, but stipulated two conditions; if the young man saw anything ‘unearthly’ he was to pull a cord that would ring a bell in the landlord’s room below. Secondly, Sir Robert would have to be armed with a pistol throughout the vigil. The young libertine thought the conditions were absurd but agreed to them just to get the landlord out of his hair.
The landlord handed Warboys a pistol and left as a clock in the room chimed the hour of midnight. Sir Robert sat at a table in the candlelit room and waited for the ‘Thing’ to put in an appearance.
Forty-five minutes after midnight, the landlord was startled out of his sleep by the violent jangling of the bell. A single gunshot in the room above echoed through the house. The landlord raced upstairs and found Sir Robert sitting on the floor in the corner of the room with a smoking pistol in his hand. The young man had evidently died from traumatic shock, for his eyes were bulged, and his lips were curled from his clenched teeth. The landlord followed the line of sight from the dead man’s terrible gaze and traced it to a single bullet hole in the opposite wall. He quickly deduced that Warboys had fired at the ‘Thing’, to no avail.
Three years after Warboys’ death, Edward Blunden and Robert Martin, two sailors from Portsmouth, wandered into Berkeley Square in a drunken state and noticed the ‘To Let’ sign at number 50.

Ghosts of The Tower of London
With a history of beheadings, murders, torture and hangings, as well as being a prison to Nobles it is no wonder The Tower of London has developed a reputation as being one of the most haunted places in Britain. Grim, grey and awe-inspiring, the Tower has dominated the London landscape and the pages of history, since its construction by William the Conqueror in 1078 and today on ghostmap not only are we going to cover who haunts this location but more importantly I’ve decided to cover a why this spot is haunted as well and when you read this your going to be a bit shocked.
***Most powerful Ghosts***
Anne Boleyn— King Henry VIII, after learning the baby Anne carried for nine months was a boy and still born, accused by her of infidelity. She was taken to TOWER GREEN and was beheaded on May 19, 1536. Queen Anne appears near the Queen’s House, close to the site where her execution was carried out. She can be seen leading a ghostly procession of Lords and Ladies down the aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula her head tucked under her arm.
Sir Walter Raleigh—Was condemned to be executed by King James I. He frequents his rooms in the tower and is rather displeased by the tours of people who now visit his still furnished rooms. He has on occasion pinched, bit and scratched a few of the more disrespectful tourists.
Margaret Pole Countess of Salisbury—King Henry VIII had her executed for political reasons. The Countess refused to put her head on the block like a common traitor. When her executioner came after her she ran but was pursued by him, with his ax in hand hacking at her until he had chopped the Countess to death. Her ghost is in a state of shock still reliving this gruesome death each and every day.
Lady Jane Grey–The granddaughter of Mary (Henry VIII younger sister) and Louis XII of France. The Duke of Northumberland would lose everything if Henry VIII’s son was to die and Mary, who was Catholic, would become queen. He and her father arranged her marriage to his son and persuaded her cousin Edward VI to name her his successor in case of his death instead of his two half-sisters. When Edward VI died she was crowned Queen of England, but the supporters of Mary overthrew her.
Her own father got scared and in hopes to save his own skin, left the Tower of London and went to Tower Hill to proclaim Mary I, as the Queen of England, Lady Jane never left the tower; she and her husband were immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death. Queen Mary carried out the execution of Lady Jane’s father-in-law but set both Jane and her husband free.
Her father was involved in a rebellion against Mary I, Lady Jane and her husband were again placed in the tower. Lady Jane watched as her husband was taken to Tower Hill where he was beheaded. She saw his body being carried back to the chapel, after which she was taken to Tower Green where she was beheaded. She was only 17 years old. Her ghost is most active on February 12th the anniversary of her death. She is protected by other spirits here due to her young age and the fact that her death was due to the result of the selfishness of others.
Cathrine Howard–She is one of the scariest ghosts in my opinion because of the fact that she has a black void where her face should be. Her ghost can be seen wearing a veil reliving her trip in a funeral carriage.
Ok, now that we covered the “major” ghosts at The Tower of London let me tell you a bit about the two reasons this place is so haunted. The first reason is that the Salt Tower is actually built upon a “Hellmouth” or gateway to the afterlife. Due to this fact, anyone who died within its general area we're unable to pass on because of residual energy. The second reason is the stones that were used to construct part of the tower were taken from a Druid ritual location in which human sacrifices were carried out on these very stones.

Chip Coffey and Psychic kids
I get upset every time I see Chip Coffey and Psychic kids because the man seems like he’s exploiting these kids gifts for profit. Now I’m not saying he is I said it seems like he is so all you Chip Coffey fans please don’t get upset and email me to death like last time. You see the thing is most of you don’t know about good ole Chip is he charges $500 for a 30-40 minute session and that’s with one individual and an additional $250 for each family member who wants to be present. It just rubs me the wrong way that someone who claims he has the same gift I do then charges so much money.
You really don’t think anyone should charge for using their gift but let's look past that and ask why does it cost extra for a family member to come with you and watch? Greed? I don’t think so you see my theory is that if a second person is in that room it ups Mr. Chip Coffey’s chances of being exposed as a fraud (which I personally believe he may be based on my conversations with those he interacted with on Paranormal State).
I really think that people really should stop watching this show because of the predatory nature of Chip Coffey. He is like a lion and these kids are the prey.

Hawaii Ghost Hunters seek out the paranormal
It is the only business of it’s kind in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society has been looking into reported hauntings and instructing people in ghost hunting methods for many years now. Some may call them crazy or thrill seekers.
But for Preston Galera and Blaise Atabay, it is more curiosity than fear that keeps them in the dark looking for the unseen.
“Fortunately, we haven’t faced anything that was very negative where it would actually harm you or hurt you,” said Preston Galera.
They’re used to the reaction from people when they tell them what they do.”The first they ask is, ‘You not scared?’ Obviously not, if we’re doing it,” said Atabay.
Galera and Atabay founded the nonprofit Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society three years ago.
They said they’re never at a loss for work, considering how spiritual the Hawaiians have always been.
“They believe everything, the rocks, the trees, everything has spirit,” said Galera. “All of that mana, all that power, that belief is still saturated here.”
While the reaction from most people when it comes to the paranormal is fear, this team of ghosts hunters said there’s not much to be scared of — spirits just want some respect.
“Really they’re just like you and I, it’s just we can’t see them,” said Atabay.
Respect is the main lesson they teach in their class at Kapiolani Community College on how to become paranormal investigators.
“For us, everything is respect,” said Galera. “Whether we’re dealing with live people, our clients, or people who come to us for advice, or the non-living people.”
Patience is another lesson they teach would-be ghost hunters.
“You gotta put in a lot of time doing research. A lot of people think you can watch the TV show and buy equipment and start going to people’s houses. It takes a lot more than that,” said Galera.
Galera and Atabay said not to call them “ghost busters” because they don’t claim to get rid of the ghosts.
“A lot of people are gonna doubt what we do and that’s fine,” said Atabay. “We try to gather as much evidence as we can to prove it.”
The founders of the Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society said they don’t have any kind of “sixth sense” when it comes to their investigations, just a healthy dose of curiosity.
While many people may doubt their findings, they said they’re out to help those who hire them for their services determine if they have some unseen guests or not. Atabay and Galera said in their investigations, they’ve never felt they were in danger, but there have been some spirits who may not have wanted their company.
Like the time they were investigating a warehouse in Halawa.
“Something actually got thrown,” said Galera. “We don’t know what it was. We tried to find every answer, there wasn’t any animals or anything.”
Ghost hunting is not a cheap business. Galera and Atabay estimate they’ve spent thousands of dollars on equipment to help collect evidence of hauntings.
Things like Infrared cameras and electromagnetic field readers. Geophones, for example, are meant to record seismic activity, but in ghost hunting it documents footsteps. “It’s not like how you see on TV where there’s always something going on. We go through investigations where we’re just sitting around in the dark for four hours and nothing goes on until later when we listen to our recording devices and we hear voices,” said Galera.
In one case, the team believes it recorded a ghost calling Blaise’s name.
The founders of the Hawaiian Island Paranormal Research Society said they would never go on simply “feelings,” but would make an effort to provide some kind of documentation of a ghost.

Connecticut Ghosthunter Arrested on Theft Charge
A Connecticut-based paranormal investigator has been charged with felony theft for failing to return a $2,200 thermal imaging camera he used during investigations to its owner.
Twenty-seven-year-old Matthew Kondracki of Enfield is scheduled to appear in Superior Court next Tuesday on a third-degree larceny charge, which carries one to five years in prison upon conviction.
The Journal Inquirer newspaper reported Thursday that Kondracki, an investigator with the Enfield Paranormal Society, was arrested Monday after a woman, whom police didn’t identify, complained to authorities.
Kondracki says the camera’s owner was the organization’s manager and bought the camera for the group. He says she was the last person to see it before it disappeared in November. Since his arrest, Kondracki has filed for probation.

Ghost Adventures flying brick
The Ghost Adventures flying brick moment was probably without a doubt the most awesome moment in all of paranormal TV.
Now I’m not sure if the flying brick on ghost adventures was real or fake because I wasn’t there when the brick was thrown in the basement of the old Goldfield Hotel but I’m sure if any real ghost hunter was there with just one other person and these happened they would GTFO the way Zak and Nick did. I’ve actually seen this clip many times in HD and I want everyone to know if you watch closely when the brick is about to be thrown you can see the outline of a person on the screen. I however, don’t believe it’s a living breathing person like you and I because it does not appear to be solid enough. I believe what the folks of Ghost Adventures encountered with the flying brick was a full body apparition.
I dare any of the Ghost Hunter guys to quit pretending to be plumbers for a day and go out without a giant 10-20 man crew and do some real paranormal investigating and post whatever they happen to encounter.

Ghost dreams
Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and thought you saw something near your bed and seconds later it just disappeared? Since childhood, we are taught that it’s just our eyes playing tricks on us. However, the majority of the time when this occurs it’s actually a long lost loved one or just a random visiting spirit attempting to communicate via a dream.
In order to make the most of this visit, you need to keep a few things in mind.
1) Proceed with an open mind
2) Keep a pen a paper next to your bed and write down whatever you can remember of your dream any detail can be important.
3) When you go back to bed think of whatever questions you may have for your visitor so that the answer may come in our next dream.
Good luck and Keep it spooky.

NBA team blames ghost for loss
After losing by twenty points, players on the New York Knicks are not just crediting the OKLAHOMA CITY Thunder’s defense for the loss, but instead a ghost at the Skirvin hotel. The New York Knicks players allege the ghost kept them awake, only allowing for a couple of hours of sleep prior to the game the next day.
According to legend, Bill Skirvin’s former mistress has walked the halls of the 99-year-old hotel ever since she jumped from a 7-story window with their child in the 1930s.
But officials at the Skirvin and local historians claim there is no proof the incident ever happened and the New York Knicks can only blame themselves for the poor basketball performance.
“I think the guys really really need to do is score more points than our guys and grab more rebounds,” said John Williams with the Skirvin.
Officials at the Skirvin do not think this incident will stop other professional sports teams from staying at their hotel.

Ghost Adventures – Prospect Place
In Trinway, Ohio, there is a place so saturated with dark history, it is no wonder that the fight between good and evil is still continuing from when it started in 1856. Prospect Place Mansion is said to be infested with paranormal activity. It was a major stop for runaway slaves in the underground railroad, many of whom are said to have died in the basement. The owner, Georde Adams, was a pillar of the community. His wealth and influence afforded him the ability to help slaves escape to freedom. He was willing to do anything to protect the slaves traveling through the underground railroad.
There are many sad stories about the mansion. It is said that a little girl once fell from the balcony. It was in the dead of winter and the family had to wait until spring before they could properly bury her. They kept her body in the cold storage in the basement and during this time the girl’s mother came to visit her every day.

Ghost Adventures visit Pennhurst State a school for the developmentally disabled
Zak, Nick, and Aaron will be at Pennhurst State, a school for the developmentally disabled, which was forced to close its doors in 1987 after numerous, heart-wrenching allegations of abuse and neglect.
Catch the episode premiere Friday at 9 PM E/P on the Travel Channel. “Ghost Adventures Live Postmortem,” a recap of last week’s live event, will air at 8 pm before the new episode
Pennhurst State became infamous in the 1980s when word spread about the despicable conditions in which the patients were forced to live. Pennhurst was home to more than 3,000 mentally challenged, mentally disabled, and developmentally disabled patients. There are countless claims of abuse. This partly because while the local zoo was spending $7.15 on their animals per day on their wards, Pennhurst could only afford $5.90.
When Zak asked Dr. James Conroy (Co-President of Pennhurst Memorial) if there was ever sexual abuse at the school. Dr. Conroy replied, “Absolutely. Constantly. Every night.”
While the school was opened, there was a deafening sound from thousands of patients screaming. Today the sound of those screams has been replaced with a skin tingling silence. Needless to say, there is enough dark energy in this place to make your hair stand on end.

TOP 5 HAUNTED LOCATIONS IN NEW ORLEANS
1. Lalaurie House
1140 Royal Street, that is notorious even by the bizarre traditions of the French Quarter. Built in 1831, the three-story edifice was the home of Dr. Louis Lalaurie and his fashionable wife Delphine, esteemed for her elegant balls as well as for her charitable work among the sick and the poor. 1834, when a fire broke out in the Lalaurie residence. Firemen smashed open a locked interior door and came upon a scene surpassing horror: There, chained and suffocating in the heat and smoke, were seven starved and severely beaten slaves. Upstairs, in a sort of macabre laboratory, the fire patrol found more slaves, some dead, others barely alive with limbs amputated or purposefully deformed. Preserved organs and other body parts completed the picture.
Money mysterious photos occur often at the Lalularie house. Balcony ghost photos and haunted videos usually show orbs, strands of mist and the figures of a ghost or two walking it’s legnth.
2. St. Louis cemetery Number 1
Considered by locals visitors and paranormal investigators world wide as actually the most haunted cemetery No. # 1 haunted Cemetery in all the United States.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the more interesting tombs in St. Louis Number One are a huge tomb that holds the remains of some of the participants in the Battle of New Orleans; chess champion Paul Morphy; New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial. But the most famous and interesting tomb here is said to be where Voodoo Queen Marie Leveaux is buried. People still visit her tomb to light candles, perform various religious acts and leave offerings. New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial is buried right next to her.
Across the street, with its front facing N. Rampart St., is Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, which originally was the mortuary chapel built to handle the funerals and last rites of victims of yellow fever in 1826. It is the oldest surviving church in the city.
Vault burial was introduced in New Orleans during the Spanish regime, and our oldest cemetery — St. Louis No. 1 (1789) — has society tombs built by the French Society, the Portuguese Benevolent Association, the Cervantes Mutual Benefit Society, the Italian Society, and the Orleans Battalion of Artillery.
This New Orleans graveyard is said to be haunted by the ghost of the world famous Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau. Her spirit has been reported inside of the cemetery, walking between the tombs wearing a red and white turban with seven knots in it, and mumbling a original New Orleans Santeria Voodoo curse to Cemetery trespassers. Her Voodoo curse is loud and very audible, heard often by passerby’s on nearby Rampart Street. Locals say this has started in recent years for she is alarmed by the many vandals and state of the cemetery.
3. Le Pavilion Hotel
A paranormal research team identified four ghosts at LePavillon including a 19th century teenage girl, a young aristocratic couple from the 1920’s, and a dapper gentleman from the same era who likes to play pranks on the cleaning staff.
“Imagination governs the world”- Napoleon Bonaparte
With a history stretching back to the Gilded Age and impeccable French décor throughout, Le Pavillon Hotel of New Orleans piques the imagination in a way that even the Emperor himself would applaud.
Located in the heart of downtown New Orleans, Historic Le Pavillon Hotel is adjacent to the French Quarter, only five short blocks to the celebrated music clubs of Bourbon Street and the famous restaurants and antique shops of Royal Street. Within a five-minute walk, you can find yourself at the Louisiana Superdome for a NFL Saints home game or at the New Orleans Arena for a world-class concert or NBA Hornet’s game.

4. Arnaud’s Restaurant
In other cities, gourmands may get excited about a restaurant one minute and the next minute, the spot has been turned into a hardware store. Not so in old New Orleans, where restaurants can become part of the family. None of these moreso, it seems, than Arnaud’s. New Orleans families have been visiting Arnaud’s for generations, choosing it as the location where they want to commemorate their most important family events and milestones.
Founded by a colorful French wine salesman names Arnaud Cazenave, Arnaud’s recently celebrated 80 years of serving New Orleans families and visitors the finest cuisine in a classic atmosphere that speaks of Old World grandeur and a simpler time.
In fact, so beloved has this dining institution become to New Orleanians that many have simply decided to spend eternity there.
Arnaud Cazenave is said to be the most active spirit in the restaurant, perhaps still hanging around to make sure that everything is being kept in order and to his liking. Cazenave, whom most New Orleanians came to call Count Arnaud, for no apparent reason as he was not nobility, was a stickler for service in the grand French style, and it is likely he still maintains these standards today. If silverware and napkins are not set to his liking, the staff says he has no qualms about moving them; If he does not like the set up at the bar, he will rearrange it until he does. The kitchen, the service areas, no space is off-limits to the ghost of Count Arnaud.
Just before Count Arnaud died, he let it be known that his successor was to be his daughter Germaine Cazenave Wells who guided the venerable institution through many years.
The Germaine Cazenave Wells Mardi Gras Museum was opened at Arnaud’s Restaurant in her honor in 1983 by then-proprietor Archie A. Casbarian. Open free to the public during restaurant hours, the collection of Carnival court gowns, costumes and other memorabilia made in France provides a rare glimpse of the private side of Mardi Gras.
The museum has two basic themes-what Mardi Gras is and who Mrs. Wells and her family were. The museum brings together more than two dozen lavish Mardi Gras costumes, including 13 of Mrs. Wells’ queen costumes, one of her mother’s and one of her daughter’s, as well as four king’s costumes worn by Count Arnaud, (whose title was entirely local and honorary) and six children’s costumes.
The spirit of Germaine Cazenave is said to haunt this area of the restaurant and Mardi Gras Museum most frequently. There have been reports from employees and patrons who have been startled to see a misty form appear among the many Mardi Gras gowns and keepsakes. That misty form is said to be the daughter of Count Arnaud.
The restaurant serves classic Creole dishes, including the Count’s own spicy recipe forRemoulade Sauce. The restaurant features many dining rooms and the French 75 bar.

5. Canal Street at City Park Avenue
One drive through this major city intersection and it’s obvious to see why the area ranks number one on our list of Haunted New Orleans Streets. This major intersection once marked the outermost limits of the old city of New Orleans and is a location where an amazing thirteen cemeteries converge. Beyond the intersection is the median (in New Orleans vernacular, the “neutral ground”) that once was the location of the New Basin Canal: in itself yet another graveyard for so many Irish, German and Italian immigrants died in digging it and all of them were buried where they fell.
1140 Royal Street, that is notorious even by the bizarre traditions of the French Quarter. Built in 1831, the three-story edifice was the home of Dr. Louis Lalaurie and his fashionable wife Delphine, esteemed for her elegant balls as well as for her charitable work among the sick and the poor. 1834, when a fire broke out in the Lalaurie residence. Firemen smashed open a locked interior door and came upon a scene surpassing horror: There, chained and suffocating in the heat and smoke, were seven starved and severely beaten slaves. Upstairs, in a sort of macabre laboratory, the fire patrol found more slaves, some dead, others barely alive with limbs amputated or purposefully deformed. Preserved organs and other body parts completed the picture.
Money mysterious photos occur often at the Lalularie house. Balcony ghost photos and haunted videos usually show orbs, strands of mist and the figures of a ghost or two walking it’s legnth.
2. St. Louis cemetery Number 1
Considered by locals visitors and paranormal investigators world wide as actually the most haunted cemetery No. # 1 haunted Cemetery in all the United States.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the more interesting tombs in St. Louis Number One are a huge tomb that holds the remains of some of the participants in the Battle of New Orleans; chess champion Paul Morphy; New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial. But the most famous and interesting tomb here is said to be where Voodoo Queen Marie Leveaux is buried. People still visit her tomb to light candles, perform various religious acts and leave offerings. New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial is buried right next to her.
Across the street, with its front facing N. Rampart St., is Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, which originally was the mortuary chapel built to handle the funerals and last rites of victims of yellow fever in 1826. It is the oldest surviving church in the city.
Vault burial was introduced in New Orleans during the Spanish regime, and our oldest cemetery — St. Louis No. 1 (1789) — has society tombs built by the French Society, the Portuguese Benevolent Association, the Cervantes Mutual Benefit Society, the Italian Society, and the Orleans Battalion of Artillery.
This New Orleans graveyard is said to be haunted by the ghost of the world famous Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau. Her spirit has been reported inside of the cemetery, walking between the tombs wearing a red and white turban with seven knots in it, and mumbling a original New Orleans Santeria Voodoo curse to Cemetery trespassers. Her Voodoo curse is loud and very audible, heard often by passerby’s on nearby Rampart Street. Locals say this has started in recent years for she is alarmed by the many vandals and state of the cemetery.
3. Le Pavilion Hotel
A paranormal research team identified four ghosts at LePavillon including a 19th century teenage girl, a young aristocratic couple from the 1920’s, and a dapper gentleman from the same era who likes to play pranks on the cleaning staff.

The City Cemetery in Port-Au-Prince
The City Cemetery in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, is frequented by ghastly apparitions of the cities dead and cursed souls of voodoo believers. The past few years, the cemetery has been plundered by grave robbers who sell casket handles, shoes, and anything else they can salvage from the tombs of the departed. The grave robbing has upset the rest of those buried here and as a result, many are now roaming about stuck in between this world and the next because of voodoo magic.
When most of us think of “voodoo”, we imagine dark forces and scary dolls, but in reality, voodoo is essentially a religion based upon the foundation that all of Creation is “divine”, and thus infused with divine energy that can be “tapped into” by its practitioners; this power can be used for good or for evil. However in most cases in Haiti, only the evil side is practiced and therefore a virtual army of the dead haunt this cemetery in order to protect it and scare off grave robbers.
As a result of a voodoo ritual, the most vocal spirit is bound to this location forever to prevent it from possessing anyone in the future as it had done so in the past. The spirit of Ezili Dantar will try to harm you possess you or do anything possible in an attempt to escape the voodoo binding ceremony performed here in 1798.
I would say this is in my opinion, one of the 10 most haunted locations in the world and warn you not to visit this location alone.

Ghost hunter dies in tragic accident
A 29-year-old Canadian woman died in an accident the police are calling “misadventure.” The unidentified woman and her male friend were exploring a building near Bloor and Spadina streets in downtown Toronto, in search of ghosts.
The unidentified building had been rumored to be haunted, and the pair had been exploring the building in the early morning hours of September 10th. The police report stated that the couple had attempted to leap across a portion of the building either three or four stories above the ground. The woman, unfortunately, fell to her death.
Her male partner made it across safely. Police believe the pair are not students at the University of Toronto.
An unconfirmed press release from two Toronto-based paranormal researchers, published on their blog, cites the building location as One Spadina Crescent. Sue Darroch and Matthew Didier issued the release in response to what they say was an overwhelming number of media queries following the news of the ghost hunter’s accidental death. The release states that Darroch and Didier are not aware of any paranormal activity at One Spadina, but state
” … the only thing that could be possibly “paranormal”(?) in nature is a rumored curse with the building… that university departments and other elements housed there have seemingly “bad luck” in the building.”
The building is located on the University of Toronto’s downtown campus. Spadina Avenue is one of Toronto’s oldest streets, often referred to as the “heart” of Toronto. The building itself was constructed in 1875. The building has been used as a theological college, World War I military hospital, a Veteran’s hospital, and a pharmaceutical laboratory. It was purchased by the University of Toronto in 1972.
In 2001, professor David Buller was found murdered in his art studio, located in One Spadina Crescent. Buller died of stab wounds, and his murder remains unsolved to this day.
It’s things like these that make me want to point out please be safe when you're searching for ghosts. Also be sure to get the land owners permission and exercise common sense.

The Birdcage Theatre
The Birdcage Theatre is a really interesting location in the “Town too tough to die” with documented 26 murders and there are 145 documented bullet holes. This was the happening place back in the 1800’s with all night faro games, bluff poker and exotic ladies who loved to show the men a good time.
If you have the gift of “sight” this probably isn’t the place for you as even though it may just be a not so crowded museum for the living on any given night this place is packed with nearly 100 or so ghosts looking to recreate past events and have a bit of fun. I remember when I visited The Birdcage I nearly ran out screaming not realizing that the guys shooting guns were actually the ghosts of Curly Bill and Doc Holliday and they were just having a handkerchief fight. Now I probably looked like a complete nut job but this was way before I learned I had the gift of sight and how to control it.
If you're wondering why this place is so haunted, in my opinion, it is because it contains so many objects that these people were fond of in the past plus it has one of the main hearse coaches used to take a lot of these people to their graves on Boothill.
Spalding Inn owned by the Ghost Hunter Guys
This is just way to funny Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson are pimping their co-owned Spalding Inn as a “haunted inn”. They claim they have had personal experiences here and even brought their wives in on it. Now that's all well and good but it just strikes me as super odd that the only people who say it is haunted are on a ghost hunters show and on top of that they feature their new business on an episode of Ghost Hunters.
It makes me sick that these guys are playing like the Spading Inn in Whitefield, NH. is the next Stanley Hotel or Hotel Del Coronado and this is just crazy. There are no facts to support this and actual experts I’ve asked actually claim the area is actually on the low end of paranormal activity so low in fact your just as likely to see a ghost in your own home.
Phoenix Suns Ghost
I bet you didn’t know this but US Airways Center the home of the Phoenix Suns is haunted by the ghost of former Suns head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons. He looks out for the hometown team and is actually really upset with current ownership because in his opinion they are not men of their word.
Why hasn’t Cotton past on? He’s actually waiting for the Suns to win a ring because after his 2nd stint as a Suns coach he promised he’d be with the Suns until they win a ring….
So here’s to you Cotton and maybe you can trip Kobe or maybe poke LeBron in the eye or something…

Season 5 of Ghost Hunters just more of the same
Has it only been 5 seasons? Ghost Hunters started in 2004 and I’ll admit the first season was ok except for the occasional faked scene and the whole fake roto router guys. Here we are it’s 2009 and now nearly every event that takes place on the show is staged and they still want us to believe they are plumbers. Come on SciFy almost nobody is dumb enough to believe this show anymore.
I do admit I still watch it from time to time to see Laurel and Hardy err I mean Steve and Tango. They are the shows written in comic relief. I guess the only way to prove to some people may be to post a copy of a script from one of the episodes I happen to get my hands on. It hasn’t aired yet so let me see if I can legally post it.
Til next time keep it spooky.

The Ghosts of Inglorious Basterds
Inglorious Basterds the movie about a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” that are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis in Nazi-occupied France during WW2. This Quentin Tarantino film was visited by both sides and let's just say none of the ghosts were fans.
Mr. Douche bag himself Brad Pitt was the subject of many ghostly moments on set. It seems that a few Jewish ghosts took exception to him being cast and played major pranking on the set beginning at the end of October of last years. The pranks went on and escalated til they included MR. Pitt and a toilet.
It’s kinda funny how in life these ghosts were killing each other but as ghosts, they had a common enemy Brad Pitt. I can’t wait to see the movie cause I’m sure it had many unplanned moments

Reader submitted: The Queen Mary
One Sunday afternoon my family decided to take a day trip to Long Beach and I, being the ghost fanatic and all, suggested the Queen Mary. So we decided to go there. When we got there we went to the counter and purchased tickets for the Ghost Encounters Tour. We were informed that the tour allows you to visit the swimming pool area and the lowest and deepest parts of the ship and the tour itself is about a little over an hour long. So my family andI met the tour guide along with all the other people taking the tour and we began our journey to the bottom of the ship. Let me first start off by saying that I am a BIG ghost fanatic…but I never expected to witness or experience anything because I thought only the lucky ones could have experiences. Anyways continuing on…our tour gets to the part where the boiler and ship gadgets and machinery are and the tour guide begins to tell us of a tragic incident that happened way back when the ship was sailing and functioning. He tells us about this young man who was doing his duties and managing the machinery when suddenly the young man was walking through these steel doors from the ship and he was crushed to death horizontally as he tried to walk through this door labeled door 13. So in my head, I was thinking of the helplessness this man must have experienced and such a sudden death. So anyways as the tour guide finished his story my dad and I were the last ones to exit the machinery room…when from out of nowhere I saw this black solid figure of a man standing to my right behind the machinery. I stared at it for a good 10 seconds or so and then I quickly turned away in disbelief. When I looked back in that direction the figure was no longer there. I couldn't believe what I had just seen..it was so unexpected and completely incredible…iIwitnessed for the very first time a ghost. So with that being said.. I encourage anyone, if you are in the area of Long Beach, go and take a visit at the Queen Mary and go explore the ship for yourself.
Old Cuchillo Bar
The onetime proprietor of a one hundred eighty-year-old adobe brick building hears the door of a potbellied cooking stove opening and wood being piled inside, but nobody is there.
Mystical rustlings echo in the latest proprietors ear. Things fall off shelves for no obvious reason.
These are merely a couple of the unusual goings-on that artist Josh Bond, proprietor of the Old Cuchillo Bar in the southern New Mexico ghost town of the same name, has called for the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society to look into on his property.
“The creepiest I had was a voice whisper in my ear,” Bond said. “When things fall in the house, I just sort of write it off.”
When he came across an ad about WCGAPS, a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization, Bond believed the group may at least explain what was happening.
Andy Rice, who started WCGAPS about 2 years ago after investigating more than two hundred alleged hauntings and ghosts over more than thirteen years, said the group tries to explain the enigmas their customers relate to them applying science or common sense.
Only around five percent of the group’s investigations can not be explained by electromagnetic radiation, thin walls, defective wiring, lights from passing automobiles or other natural explanations, said Rice, who titled his investigators not ghost hunters, but ghost debunkers.
WCGAPS is booked through July with investigations, primarily in the southwestern United States. Rice said the historic value of the Cuchillo property caused it to stick out amidst the places calling for the group’s services.
The Old Cuchillo Bar dates to 1830 when it was a stage stop. Once, cargo was offloaded and driven by wagon to nearby mines in Winston or Chloride.
The five thousand sq ft complex has housed a general store, horse barn, mercantile, post office, hotel and bar over the years.
“It just has a lot of history, that place does,” said Gayle Shepperd, who owned the property with her husband, Harold, from 1978 to 2006. “I’ve heard tales of poker parties and a lot things like that going on.”
In modern years, the facility was utilized for wedding and baby showers and the trading post was where visitors stopped to inquire which residents were still amidst the town’s tapering population.
At one time it was home to 2,000 people and the hub of the county, Cuchillo has about thirty-five occupants, Bond said.
Like Bond, Shepperd also recalled peculiar things, like hearing the sound of somebody starting the wood cooking stove.
“I distinctly heard somebody putting wood into the fire. I looked in there and there was nobody,” she said. “We said, ‘Well, our ghosts are at play.’ We just discounted it.”
Shepperd put to rest at least one mystery: a trio of guns Bond had found wrapped in a sack in an empty grain bin.
“My mother put those there,” she said, explaining that her mother used the empty bins for storage.
Bond, thirty-six, an artist who builds metal sculptures and home furnishings, purchased the complex in 2006 and has finished up refurbishing the old hotel into a 3-bedroom vacation rental or artist hideaway. He hopes to open a microbrewery in the old bar.
Bond seemed ambivalent about whether the property is haunted.
“These people claim to debunk it scientifically. I write it off to coincidence many times in my mind, but I’d like to see it proved scientifically,” he said.
Rice said he’s not out to sway people to believe in the paranormal.
“Till they have an individual experience, I cannot change someone’s belief,” he said. “I don’t take the time to try to convince them because it is a useless argument.”
Rice, a business analyst, said he became involved in investigating reports of hauntings after researching a deserted house with acquaintances.
At the top of a staircase, while his friends were on the steps below him, he said, someone or something pushed him down the stairs, lifting him off the floor and leaving scratch marks on his back.
The experience led Rice to work about forty to sixty hours per week for WCGAPS, looking into hauntings for free and seeking donations. He hopes in a lot of instances he can put customers’ anxiety to rest.
“I’m hoping to go out and calm their fears. Other than my first experience, I have never experienced anything that’s harmful. I want to explain what’s there, whether there’s something or nothing,” Rice said.
For the investigation at Cuchillo, Rice says he will research area construction codes and the site’s history, talk with occupants, review the property’s title history and look at photos of the original constructions.
He and 7 other investigators will bring cameras and video and audio equipment to record noises or anything discovered in the constructions. Opposed to some other “ghost hunters,” Rice said he does not employ psychics to find ghosts.
WCGAPS’s internet site contains audio links to alleged paranormal phenomena, like voices, which Rice says do not fall under the normal frequency for human voices.
Other than the push down the stairway, Rice said he’s heard or seen a couple of unusual things, like the “full-body apparition” of a adult female he saw move across Monti’s La Casa Vieja restaurant in Tempe, Arizona, which is housed in the city’s original pioneer home.
Did he capture the image?
“It was exactly where we didn’t have a camera placed,” Rice said, but a camera did record his and the other investigator’s reactions to the figure.
Frequently hotels or restaurants hope WCGAPS will substantiate something paranormal because it is good for business, but proprietors of private houses commonly are relieved when their haunting is explained, Rice said.
As for Bond, “I’ve really kind of lived in denial of the fact, but I’m curious to know.”
Mystical rustlings echo in the latest proprietors ear. Things fall off shelves for no obvious reason.
These are merely a couple of the unusual goings-on that artist Josh Bond, proprietor of the Old Cuchillo Bar in the southern New Mexico ghost town of the same name, has called for the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society to look into on his property.
“The creepiest I had was a voice whisper in my ear,” Bond said. “When things fall in the house, I just sort of write it off.”
When he came across an ad about WCGAPS, a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization, Bond believed the group may at least explain what was happening.
Andy Rice, who started WCGAPS about 2 years ago after investigating more than two hundred alleged hauntings and ghosts over more than thirteen years, said the group tries to explain the enigmas their customers relate to them applying science or common sense.
Only around five percent of the group’s investigations can not be explained by electromagnetic radiation, thin walls, defective wiring, lights from passing automobiles or other natural explanations, said Rice, who titled his investigators not ghost hunters, but ghost debunkers.
WCGAPS is booked through July with investigations, primarily in the southwestern United States. Rice said the historic value of the Cuchillo property caused it to stick out amidst the places calling for the group’s services.
The Old Cuchillo Bar dates to 1830 when it was a stage stop. Once, cargo was offloaded and driven by wagon to nearby mines in Winston or Chloride.
The five thousand sq ft complex has housed a general store, horse barn, mercantile, post office, hotel and bar over the years.
“It just has a lot of history, that place does,” said Gayle Shepperd, who owned the property with her husband, Harold, from 1978 to 2006. “I’ve heard tales of poker parties and a lot things like that going on.”
In modern years, the facility was utilized for wedding and baby showers and the trading post was where visitors stopped to inquire which residents were still amidst the town’s tapering population.
At one time it was home to 2,000 people and the hub of the county, Cuchillo has about thirty-five occupants, Bond said.
Like Bond, Shepperd also recalled peculiar things, like hearing the sound of somebody starting the wood cooking stove.
“I distinctly heard somebody putting wood into the fire. I looked in there and there was nobody,” she said. “We said, ‘Well, our ghosts are at play.’ We just discounted it.”
Shepperd put to rest at least one mystery: a trio of guns Bond had found wrapped in a sack in an empty grain bin.
“My mother put those there,” she said, explaining that her mother used the empty bins for storage.

Types of ghosts
There are many types of ghosts at least ways they appear out there and today I thought I’d go over a few of them.
1) Orbs–This type of ghost is probably the most common. It’s a weaker spirit who appears as a ball of light and streaks across the sky. These ghosts are usually invisible to the naked eye and a good 40% of the time are actually the spirit of an animal.
2) Shadow Ghosts—These ghosts appear usually in homes of loved ones or places they bonded with as shadows. In photo’s they tend to appear as regular shadows an example of a shadow ghost is posted below. Tappearhost type usually is between 2 and 10 feet in height.
3) Apparitions and disembodied spirits—Some people like myself see them rather often however for most people who seek out ghosts this type of ghost is really rare. When a non gifted person see’s an apperition it’s usually a very old ghost who has absorbed a lot of earth energy.
Really everything else falls under the realm of gods, demons and elemental. I will discuss these in more detail in a future post. By the way if you have any photo’s of what you beleive to be a ghost please pass it on to us we’d love to share it. Til my next post —Keep it spooky.

Ghosts of Disney World
What pops into your head of when someone says the words “Disney World”? Do you think of Mickey Mouse, Epcot Center, or maybe Cinderella’s Castle? One thing you in all likelihood you do not tend to think of are ghosts… other than perhaps the Haunted Mansion, that is. You might believe it is impossible that Disney World, of all places, can be haunted. Nevertheless, accounts of Disney World hauntings do exist. Here are a couple of ghosts who have been reportedly encountered at the Park:
You could encounter many Disney World ghosts at Spaceship Earth. One ghost is a little girl with long, blond hair who’s been spotted riding in a car. Another is a young boy who loves to hang around the girl. He will run in front of her and disappear into thin air. This occurs outside during daylight hours because he is afraid of the dark.
At the Tower of Terror, there is a ghost that walks around during closed hours when visitors are not around. Whenever he is seen, he is always walking in the wrong direction. Whenever employees call him he doesn’t respond because he’s deaf. If he discovers he is noticed he’ll just disappear.
At the Pirates Of the Caribbean ride, the ghost of a former employee named George hangs out daily. When it was being built in the early 1970s, he was a welder who welded different pieces of the Pirates attraction. George was killed at the park when a beam fell on him during construction.
Pirates of the Caribbean ghosts
Every morning and evening before the ride opens and before the employees head home after closing, they say hello and good night over the PA system. There is a belief that if they do not do that, the ride will shut itself down (it’s actually done so occasionally). Ask almost anyone who has worked at this ride and they’ll probably tell you that they’ve had an encounter with George or know somebody who has.
The next time you take a trip to the happiest place on earth and would like to go on the Pirates Of the Caribbean, the Tower of Terror, Spaceship Earth, or you are simply walking down in front of Cinderella’s castle where shadow people frequent, keep an eye out and ask some employee about any Disney World ghost stories they’ve heard. Perhaps you will get lucky (or unlucky) and experience one of these Disney World hauntings yourself on your next trip to the happiest place on earth.
