OoOoOoh.. I love that site!!

This summer I may visit a few of the sites on Ohio I have yet to visit. Some of our haunted bridges and underpasses are the freakiest out there. I belong to the Ohio Exploratory Society. I used to spend hours in obscure cemeteries practicing pendulum divination. I should get some video this summer when I get back to it, that is, if I ever get some time to myself.

That was one of my fav site I found 5+ yrs ago. Really neat.

In that site there's a place called Park Lane Mall in Reno, NV My husband and I were there about 5 years ago for an antique store and I had to go to the bathroom. My husband normally follow me and waits near the door. But, he was waiting for me at the top of stairways as bathroom was located at lower floor.

It really didn't bother me and went on.

Soon after I discovered that site and searched places I went and Park Lane Mall was one of it. Evidently a woman was murdered at lower floor restroom (where I was!!!!) and I mentioned that to my husband for the info I have found. He told me then that he got sudden nausiating feeling as he was getting close to the stairways and felt stronger as he got close to the stairs...

And he is not into ghost stories. Very confident, matter of fact kind of a guy.

After I told him about the "haunting" he told me "that's what I felt"

Again, I didn't feel anything at all...

MVP, isn't that strange? That tends to be how it unfolds at supposed haunts sometimes. Only one person will be affected, or a few, and not the rest in a group. It seems arbitrary, doesn't it?

Proff, how many of the sites in Ohio have you been to, and did you encounter any spiritual activity?

Also, for here in Utah, there is a club mentioned, Area 51, where a girl overdosed on Cocaine in the middle stall of the upstairs women's bathroom and died. This is what the site says:


"The door to the stall, although replaced and worked on constantly, has problems staying shut. The toilet has been known to flush itself. Crying is heard there and people who have NOT been drinking report feeling nauseous and light-headed when they walk into the bathroom.

I have been in that bathroom. I did not know it was haunted until I read about it on the site just now. Yes, I did feel light-headed and vaguely unhappy when I entered that bathroom, but I didn't think anything of it and have not thought about it since. But now I remember. Although I never heard crying from the stall as is rumored, I do remember that stall door, and how it didn't close properly. Though this happened only two or three years ago, my memory on whether or not I held that stall closed for my friend while she used it is shifty, but I think I did. Either that, or we avoided that stall because the door wouldn't close? If the former, I don't think she mentioned anything about it, or I think I would remember that. But what I definitely remember is that I did not like that bathroom. There was something off.. it could've been that I was a little dizzy and tired from dancing with the lights and music, but I don't know. And it makes me uncomfortable that I can't remember enough about the stall door. When I think about it, it's like my memory is blocked.

That is a truly fascinating site. Gave me goosebumps reading part of it..and there are more places haunted in Stigler than are listed there, along with other parts of Oklahoma. Between Whitefield and Briertown, they often say that the ghost of Belle Starr rides by on a horse on moonless nights.

Thanks for the link, good site with good places on index

It was nice to see one of the haunting sites mentioned is where I live here at Dudley and the castle in the U.K, it has quite a lengthy description about the castle compared to most of the others on U.K list.

well it will be great to visit some of these sites and hear about anyones experience who will visit haunted sites, hopefully I will be contucting my own investigation for some of Dudley's haunted sites including tunnels that are under the castle.

hopefully I will be filming this so if I dont make an arse of myself then you can see me and my brothers experiences on like a podcast about haunted Dudley sometime in the future and maybe hear about some of your stories.

St. Oedenrode - Highway between Schijndel & St. Oedenrode - a 15 year old boy is haunting on the road where hey died he hitchhiked with cars and suddenly disappears

I use that road regularly. Never saw anything.

Maybe you aint looking long enough, or maybe its because you dont have a night vision camera, infrared camera, microphones, infrared trip detectors, emf meters, tempreture meters and a good medium in tow.

Or maybe its because your very sceptical.

Lycanox if you came on a ghosthunt, you would be the sceptical parapsychologist, blaming any noise on a list of possible things including a train on its tracks, even though there wouldnt be a train anywhere near.

[lycanox]

Or perhaps it is just because I am not gullible.
And fail to find a reliable local link to the story.

And only a very bad ghost investigator actually believes in the ghost he is investigated.

[phedrereine]

No, that's not quite right. Believing in the ghost does not necessarily make a bad ghost investigator, as long as they do not allow that belief to interfere with any results that suggest otherwise. A good ghost investigator definitely believes in at least the possibility of the ghost they are investigating, but relies ultimately on what they find during the investigation. A very bad ghost investigator is one who is too skeptical, cursory and relies completely on the laws of the rational world to prove the existence of the ghost.

[lycanox]

They should not consider an place haunted until every other down to earth explanation is effectively ruled out. Than they can conclude that something extra natural is going on and that a place is haunted.
But until then, truly believing in a ghost is not recommended as an biased researcher makes is his research in an already controversial science, even more controversial.

Note that we are talking about an researcher believing in a particular ghost here.
Not in whether or not the researcher believes in the existence of ghosts all together.

Except we are talking about the paranormal, not cold hard science. You can't go about it the same way, because some of the evidence can only be based on spirituality. If the researcher isn't open to the possibility, or even inclined toward the possibility, they may not make that spiritual connection. But you are right in that it is necessary to rely on whatever practical evidence possible before coming to the final conclusion. But that's just the point: A good ghost investigator won't rely solely on their beliefs before coming to that conclusion, so whether or not they believe in the ghost is almost irrelevant; in fact, it may help them connect.

Moses Lake - Columbia Basin Alternative High School - This haunting has been described as mysterious noises that happen around 11:30 P.M., and also a smoke-like apparition with only the legs showing is seen running down the hallway. An alarm has also been heard. - April 2007 Update - that building was torn down in 2005 and now there is nothing there. Workers involved in the demolition claimed that when they took down decorations inside the classroom the next day they would be replaced as if they never touched them.

Moses Lake - Frontier Middle School - On the date of February 6, 1996, the way of life in Frontier Middle School was shattered forever when a student by the name of Barry Loukaitis stepped into his Algebra class with a high powered hunting rifle and opened fire on the students. Since that time, both students and teachers claim they can still hear the echo of gunshots and the screams of the students from that part of the building, and many students attest to a feeling of panic whenever they are in or around that area.

Moses Lake - Moses Lake High School - Theater - In the theatre the curtains sway when no one is there. The lights turn on when there is no one there. There is a cat walk above the seats where they can be heard swaying when the door to the stairway is locked tight, and the stairs creak also when the door is locked tight. When you go to the costume room you can feel the atmospheric imprint of people there.


I have been to all three sites--teens used to hang out and party at the building that was torn down, the old Alternative High School --probably this is where the smoke and sounds come from-we often used burn barrels to keep warm and would hide when anyone investigated because we weren't supposed to be there. I also know for a fact that when the building was being demolished a lot of kids played pranks on the day-workers, like moving their equipment and pulling alarms. The whole "haunting" thing is pretty well-known to be caused by pranksters (at least those that were in on it know it), not by "ghosts".
The school theater has a noticeable draft and that is why the curtain was always moving. Its also an old building and the stairs often creaked for no reason (I had classes there as well as performing in that room).
As for the Jr. High--I think that most people in Moses Lake know about the shooting and this would definately color your perception of the building, particularly if you knew you were in the very room where the murders took place. I will say that the school has been remodeled since the shootings and I have never heard anyone say that they though the place was haunted.
Interesting, but I think this site is more salacious gossip and lazy reporting that legitimate fact.

Probably. lol. Some of the accounts listed are true when checked against other sources, but others aren't.

Gulible?

So just because you dont believe it, that doesnt mean its not worthy of an investigation.

[midnight21]

It's funny. I was going to post that! This site is indeed one of my favorite paranormal sites out there and a friend showed it to me like 5 years ago. You should see the stories Wisconsin has. It's got quite a profile.

[lycanox]

Gulible?

So just because you dont believe it, that doesnt mean its not worthy of an investigation.
There are no records of any hauntings, no records of an accident in any nature that could have led to an haunting. And even local mediums claim that they never felt anything out of the ordinary in that region. In fact the only other accounts of the story I could find are direct copies of that site on other English paranormal sites.

Case closed.

Something about paranormal is, at least my bit of experience, do not happen on a daily basis.

I watch few of paranormal series and some are disappointed as they couldn't capture any evidence, yet, some other paranormal investigators do encounter with it.

You just have to be in a right place at the right time or wrong place at a wrong time.

I was in a barrack where a pilot last stayed before he rammed his jet into the side of the mountain and I experienced a strong floral scent and the scent dissipated suddenly and there were no one around AT ALL and windows and doors were closed.

The old indian hospital in Talihina is definitely haunted. All the power is off, and yet lights can be seen from it at dark, but security is all around, with the place fenced off with barbwire on top and cameras outside, but still the lights can be seen once in a while. I've seen them, and it totally freaked me out. Also, within five miles of the hospital, up on pine ridge, a woman took her three year old girl and threw her down and killed her, and have been told that if you go up there on certain nights you can hear the baby crying. That happened just five years ago too, so it is a pretty 'new' haunting. The Talihina hospital, on the other hand, has had tales told of it being haunted with multiple people having sightings for decades, dating back to when it was open and was a sanatorium for tb patients.

[bluenose_ian]

The thing is with this site, its supposed to be more of an index of possible and rumored haunted places not an index of investigations.

its ok if you fancy doing an investigation yourself and want to look up a place for possible investigation.

In my city, there was a HUGE abandoned mental health facility which served as a ww1 hospital.

it had 101 cottages all abandoned.

Underground tunnels reach through out my city for miles from this place.

a security gaurd was killed by a mental paitent and the patient commited suicide same night in one of the underground tunnels. place was called the
WHITBY PSYCH ontario, google it fairly interesting.

or PM me for more details if your interested, explored the whole place when I was younger before they tore it down, real creepy real cool shit.

[The survivor]

As for the Reno locations in the Shadow lands list they are 0 for 4

Reno Wooster High School - Never happened although at least someone who helps spread this story has cleaned it up. When first posted the dates given for the suicide were before MCQueen High School even existed.

Reno Park Lane Mall - Never happened, no pilice record of a murder, the most violant crime reported ever at Park Lane was a bar fight back in it's open air days when there was a bar at the north entrance.

Reno Robb Canyon - Another never happened. No murders, no bodies, no strange sounds, and no strange lights. This is another story that has been edited to keep alive it started out as murdered gypsys in the early 1900s.

Reno Mapes Hotel - Unknown spirit is just sad seeing as the person reporting had no imagination. Mapes actually was rumored to have many ghosts but there was never any reporting of sightings or haunts to employees or in any official way, which some believed was a cover up. The Mapes would never have covered that up because even in the 70s and 80s when their financial problems occurred they would have loved a good haunted room story to boost business. If you should read any I got to investigate after they closed storied they are simply out and out fabrication much like the 2 ninnies who made it on TV with the Goldfield Hotel.

Reno Reverboat Casino and Dodson Elementary - simplt lumped together because they are just non exosters as well.

It is unfortunate that those type of sights exist because in the long run they hurt interest in the paranormal. Someone may read or see something that piques their interest then they find these stories about an area they know and mark it all down to crap. In the past I have sent e-mails to Shadowlands and other sights listing these suggesting the bogus posts be removed only to be totally ingnored. Hits over facts are the rule they live by.
