Haunted Houses

I don't live near athens and never heard of this.  I will read through these links but it looks really cool.  I just recently got into this ghost stuff and find it fascinating.  I had a few experiences as a child that I will never forget.

I was 11 and our upstairs had 3 bedrooms and a bath.  As you came up the steps you could see the master bedroom, turned to the left 180 degrees and go down the hall, two bedrooms on the right and the hall ends into the bathroom.  My bedroom was next to the bathroom.  I always would rearrange my room and this point in time my bed faced my door and I always slept with my door open.  Keep in mind this was an old house with radiators, huge closets built into the walls, was probably built in the early 1900's.  Anyway, something woke me up and I saw this dark figure of a man going into the bathroom, he had on a black trenchcoat and a hat with his head kind of bowed down.  I hollered out who is in the bathroom and no one answered.  I yelled again with no answer, I got up and went into the bathroom (mind you the bathroom is not very big with no closets) and I looked around and no one was there!  I know someone walked in there but they were gone!  I found out after I got up in the morning that my father was put in the hospital that night with congestive heart failure, they actually lost him once but revived him.  All this was happening when I saw this figure.  My brother had beads hanging in his doorway, not sure if you all remember those beaded doorway hangings from the 70's, but anyway he would be in his bed and you could see someone walking in the room through the beads yet no one came in.  He ripped those buggars down and never put them up again.  I hated that house, would never stay in it alone even when I was 18!  I was so happy when my mom moved out of that place, it was just something in that house that scared the crap out of me!

I was out reading on the lizzie borden story last night because I honestly didn't know much about it.  they sure didn't do alot of investigating back then like they do now.  I didn't read it all but enough to know she was the main focus of the investigation from the get to.  Then the housekeeper being sent back to her home country, just alot of what ifs.  Please tape record and video record while you are sleeping.  I think that is my biggest thing I want to get one of these EVP's on my own to really believe in them.

you don't focus the camera on you but the general room Amy.  Pupose is to catch things going on around you while you are asleeep....of course that is if you sleep  LOL.  What about the Stanley Hotel where they filmed "the shining" that would be a awesome placde to be also.  I have heard alot of spooky stuff about that place!

My daughter and I went around her college campus this past weekend ghost hunting.  She had an odd experience and many other students have had similar things happen.  We took a tape recorder and had some recorder sessions.  As we were walking down on of the halls with the admin offices in it (now mind you it was very dark and spooky in these halls and I didn't know she was recording), we were talking about where we were heading and then left the building.  When we went back and listened to the recording we heard a voice as we were walking down the hallway to "get out, you don't belong here" and then as we were going through a door it said "shhh, you are being too noisy".  Talk about freaky!  I haven't closely listened to all the tapes we made yet, just had a quick listen after we did the session.  Were not sure what to do with what we found but it was really spooky and strange.

isn't that the one that is haunted, charlie chaplins old studio???

My daughter is having a friend come up to her dorm tonight to spend the night and they are going ghost hunting again on campus.  Guess I will find out how it went tomorrow.  I just hope she doesn't spook herself too badly again.  Last week she had trouble sleeping because she thought someone was watching her.  After our evening on that campus I can see why!  It was kind of amazing the spookiest place on the whole campus was right outside the chapel.  I can't explain it but the room was darker than most rooms and the lights inside the chapel looked kind of eerie.  We all felt odd in this room outside of it and one of the people felt like someone was pushing on his chest.  It was the wierdest feeling I ever felt.  When we went back to listen to that tape we could hear a very strange sound like it was moaning in that area.  I wouldn't expect anything like that next to a chapel
