The Real Ghosts of Christmas Past

December 21st 2011 21:11


Ghosts don't take a winter break from making their presence known, in fact it is around Christmas time and other well known family gatherings that they seem to enjoy showing up.

There are personal reports all over the internet of Christmas lights that light up when not plugged in, a sighting of a deceased relative that simply smiles or shows the person witnessing the event that all is well.


Christmas time is sometimes remembered as a time of a past tragedy in families and it is in those times that a spirit might show up to comfort those they have left behind. This also might occur long after their own relatives have left the area where they appear.

Haunted Albany Oregon

September 21st 2011 20:50
Inside movie theater


Located south of the capital of Oregon, Albany has a few haunted tales to tell. I had no idea that the place had its fair share of hauntings in public places. There were two of them that I found interesting. Both of them interested me since I have visited both places.


First up is the site of the Albany Cinemas. They are part of the Regal Cinema chain and I go there often to see movies. The place is suppose to be haunted. According to the story, in the late 1970's a farmhouse next door to the theater complex was torn down to expand the cinema building. The two screens that were added are reported to be haunted. There is suppose to be a ghost of a small dog seen in the aisles and of lights moving across the floor. I don't remember experiencing anything odd when I go there but heck, in the dark and enjoying a good movie I would be hard pressed to be distracted. I'll ask the people who work there if they have heard of the ghost dog the next time I go to the movies.

Next is the Hereford Steer Restaurant. That place was reported to be haunted by the dead owner of the restaurant. He was reportedly shot by police. The story goes on to report that the former owner liked to play pranks on the people visiting the restaurant. But here is the problem, the story is a fake. The owner of the Hereford Steer Restaurant died in April 2011. He opened the restaurant in or around 1976 and it closed in 1997. The restaurant was torn down by the property owner in 2002 - it is still a vacant lot. I could find no local stories to back up the claims of the haunting.

So here is a lesson for all you would be investigators out there - don't believe everything you read online and if you do find something interesting try to find out the real truth.

The ghosts of ground zero - NYC

September 10th 2011 22:47
After the collapse


The 10th anniversary of the collapse of the Twin Towers in NYC is on Sept 11, 2011. That brings up an interesting thought. With such a huge loss of human life, is ground zero haunted?

New York City is always on the go that maybe ghosts in the area would not be noticed, or would appear to look like a live person. There are countless testimonies all over the internet recounting the feelings of despair and sadness that overcomes a person when visiting ground zero. Whether it is due to a person's own thoughts and the knowledge of the past events or if it is due to picking up of the emotions of spirits, I have no idea. What I did find were various accounts of actual experiences with ghosts at ground zero.

Rather than me recount the events I have put links to them so that you can read about them at your leisure.

This next link is to a general article about haunted New York City but the comments are the interesting part. Haunted New York

Most of the message boards about the subject have indicated that the number of sightings would increase if a building was to be erected over the mass grave. After all, ground zero is a cemetery now.

Hot summer nights and the sounds they have

August 18th 2011 05:45


Warm summer nights mean sleeping later in the evening and leaving the windows wide open to let the cool night air in. It is during those warm still nights that people often hear things that they don't normally hear

Ghostly encounter at the feed store

May 29th 2011 17:18
I had something happen to me just a few days ago. I was shopping at a local feed/hardware store and had a ghostly encounter. The store is modern well lit building about the size of a supermarket. The aisles are laid out like a Walmart with plenty of room to maneuver a shopping cart.

The feed store encourages dog owners to bring their dogs into the store to shop for dog supplies. The store does not have any resident pets such as a cat wandering the store to get friendly with the customers. I often encounter dog owners that bring their dogs into the store so it is a normal occurrence

Ghosts at work

April 20th 2011 23:35
I have worked at several companies that have had histories of haunted goings on. Some were older buildings and some were new buildings, so age of the buildings were not a factor. What was a factor was that each company had an employee that was devoted to that company and had died suddenly.

The employee, in each case was sighted or heard in the buildings shortly after their deaths. In all cases the unusual sounds had not been heard in the building prior to the deaths

I love a good ghost story

October 15th 2010 21:22


Just because I try and look at paranormal events with a scientific approach does not mean I don't love a good ghost story. Add a splash of real history to the story and you have gotten me hooked

Boston has a rich and colorful history, much of it colored in blood. Did you know that Boston was another city that was known for its witch trials? Salem was not the only city to conduct witch hunts. Ghosts seem to abound in the Boston area.

The ghosts of Las Vegas

September 4th 2010 05:05


Las Vegas, a town built on gambling, old time mobsters and prostitution. It should not surprise anyone that it has its share of ghostly events. Now I am not talking about the small outlying areas that are now western ghost towns, although I am sure that they have some interesting history to tell, no I am talking about the big casinos in town

Historic haunted location to be turned into movie set

September 1st 2010 06:31
The former Pennhurst State School and Hospital in Chester County PA has been the location of many recent TV paranormal investigations. All sorts of sounds and movements have been recorded on video and audio that remain unexplained. The state hospital had a notoriously violent history. Unspeakable surgeries were forced on mentally ill children. The living conditions were enough to bring anyone to tears, yet thousands of patients lived at this place most of their lives.

It was shut down about 20 years ago. Now the hospital faces an unusual future as a modern haunted house and a movie set. The video below shows why some people are not too fond of that idea. If you happen to catch a glimpse of Pennhurst on A&E like I did a month back, you would see how huge a property this place is
