Click your State and see what is in your area that is haunted. Maybe we can go try to photograph some of this stuff.

Also just realized you can click other countries.

Actually, I found it quite interesting. I found a bunch of spots near me (even some in my town) that I had no idea of. Must check them out soon.

Glenn Dale Hospital was listed under Maryland. Can't believe the story about the crazy guy as it was never used as a mental institution. I used the location for my Abandoned Building Challenge and People challenge. Really neat place. Have been there twice since to work on a series. Never noticed anything unusual, but I wasn't looking...
May check out some others in the area. I have access to all the NASA building listed so maybe one day...
Thanks for posting the link.

Great site, thanks for posting. I've actually been to a lot of the AZ places, but never noticed anything. Very interesting site.
South Phoenix - Superstition mountains- The mountain range is reported to have paranormal activity though - strange lights, shadows, etc. There are Indian burial grounds scattered throughout, as well as the hidden gold mine somewhere.
This is my playground. I'm out there all the time and even do night hikes out there (people think I'm nuts to go out there at night).

Also, when eating at the restaurant, there is said to be spirits of men dressed in civil war attire walking out the door and toward the cemetery across the street.
Staten Island - Richmond Town - Richmond Town is located off of Amboy Road in Staten Island New York with a number of historical houses to visit. The houses range from 100-300 years old. All of the houses are known to have spirits in them. If you go there late at night, there is a specific house located on one of the side streets, which is white in color with a green cellar door on the side of the house. If you look up at the left hand window, you will without a doubt see the apparition of a little boy in the window. Two little boys were known to have died in the upper level of the house. You can go on a tour of Richmond Town during the day with the tour guides,(but it's more fun to explore at night). The up stairs in the children?s house smells like a hospital, and the kitchen of the children?s house still smells like the burning of the stove after a meal. If you go near the kitchen window at night, it smells like something was just cooked on the wood-burning stove. The schoolhouse in historical Richmond town is also haunted. There is also a small graveyard next to the old courthouse in Richmond Town, which has many restless spirits in it.

At that spot in the 1970's a car with two teenagers inside mistakenly drove off that 20 ft drop and overturned. Their bodies were not found for two weeks.

Several people have reported hearing disembodied screams and crying, Some have even said they've seen little children walking on the path crying searching for their parents or possibly their killer.

Thanks for the cool info Rex...I plan on visiting and shooting every place mentioned above. I already took care of Seaview Hospital, St. Augustine's Monastery, the Kreischer mansion and the Conference House. Incase anyone missed the LONG Forum started by my friend Toniann220, you can find a ghost photo she took while we were there in the the thread "Is this a Ghost? "

These were taken from the site posted above by Rex. I live in Columbus, GA. and this is my take on some of the claims. Pictures taken by me. except the riverwalk [not flooded] and the inside of the springer [I will not go in there again]
1. Columbus - Crybaby Bridge/ Whitesville Road - It is the third bridge off Whitesville Road deep in the woods. The story goes two ways: a woman either drowned her child in the creek or the child drowned accidentally. If you turn off your car engine while sitting on that bridge sometimes it will not come back on. You will also hear a baby crying (hence the name). People have also sighted a figure in white walking through the woods near the bridge. FALSE
Here is a Picture taken from the bridge.
Here is a better view of the bridge.
2.Columbus - House of a Thousand Cadavers - doors slamming, cold spots, strange moaning from the middle bedroom, feelings of insanity/confusion upon entering TRUE
3.A Columbus - Jordan Vocational High School - The Auditorium - The story goes that a girl was watching her boyfriend perform a play, when she yelled his name she fell over the balcony and died on impact. If you go in there you well see her wandering the balcony and stage. FALSE
3.B Columbus - Jordan Vocational High School - Construction Room - The construction room is haunted also a teenager was walking in there and was impaled by a metal rod thru the heart. Sometimes you will see him walking around holding his chest, also you will hear someone moaning. FALSE
4. Columbus - River Walk Downtown - You can sometime hear the talking and feel cold chills walking down the Riverwalk. Some people say that it is the Confederate Soldiers and their dance partners from the night. TRUE
A better view of the river walk - not flooded!
5. Columbus - Springer Opera House - Very haunted. Most of the haunting takes place in the attic and upper floors. Doors slamming, cold spots, sightings etc. TRUE-NAMED ONE OF AMERICAS 10 MOST HAUNTED PLACES
Inside view of the springer.
6. Columbus - Twin Chapel - Creek - If you go down in the creek late at night. You can see a clown sitting there crying on the creek bed. Also there are some children that come out to play with you they will say(COME OVER HERE WITH US WE WANT YOU TO SEE OUR HOUSE). If You park your car or truck there it will not start for an hour. There is a tunnel down to the left that slaves died in. You can hear them moaning and screaming for help. NOT CONFIRMED
But there are a lot more haunted places in Columbus than just the above.

RulerZigzag,
I definitely have to hit the Kreischer Mansion, and the Canard Mansion at night. Hopefully I can catch something out of the ordinary with my camera. I've visited the Conference House but it didn't seem that scary to me. I know that has been voted as the fifth scariest place in the world. I would think Seaview should of been fifth instead. That's one place you don't want to go alone especially at night. Whooooo hoooo I'm spooking myself out already. LOL.
Ruler, how about you gather your DP pals and we all visit these places and make a night of it. I'm serious. It would be alot of fun!

I've got about 400 photos from a ghost tour of the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas from December 2002. That was back when I was doing the paranormal investigating thing regularly. If anyone is interested..join my Yahoo group for the paranormal. Mostly people from North Texas..but we like to see more interested.

funny I looked up Houston and found a location that I am familiar with. but the story is MUCH different than what I remembered.
from the haunted web site.....
Houston - Patterson Road - Patterson Road is located between Highway 6 and Eldridge in Houston. This place is rumored to be the site of a Civil War battle and the bridge closest to Eldridge is haunted. If you park in the center of the bridge and turn your car off there will begin to be tapping noises all over your car. They aren't just the sounds of your car settling. They are mostly on the sides and the back of the car. It is said to be the spirits of the soldiers who died. Be careful, this road is absolutely pitch black at night, however you can see cars coming from either direction at quite a distance.
the story from when I was in High School and the same story my sister remembers from High school (6 years before me)
Drive down Patterson road to some point in the road (it has changed MANY MANY times over the years, when I was in High school the spot was where the letters KKK were spray painted in the road). walk back into the woods following the path and you will come to an old slave cemetery. on a clear and moonless night there will bee an eerie "Blue light" glow in the sky and woods. Then all of a sudden everyone would starry to scream and run out of the woods get back in their car and leave.
This place was called blue light cemetery from the early 80's until the 90's sometime.
Some friends and I went back there during the day and never found a cemetery of any sorts.
Sometime ago Bear Creak Park put up a fence in this area to keep everyone out. I guess that's about the time the story changed.
More than likely this was just a high school prank.
James

| Some of these places have been investigated by a group called TAPS. TAPS currently has a Sci-Fi TV show called Ghost Hunters, which is currently in its third season. From watching the show, which is a reality show, photos, video, sound, EMFs and the like have been captured. Unfortunately, I have yet to see evidence of a haunting via a still photograph taken on any investigation, but they have caught some very impressive video and sound. |
