Waverly Hills Is Haunted Have you ever experienced an unusual phenomenon that you can’t explain? A paranormal occurrence that left the hairs on the back of your neck chilled for days? Most explain it aside, but the possibilities of why you feel so uneasy are limitless. Especially if you experienced this at Waverly Hills, also known as one of the most haunted places in the world. Most think it’s just a Haunted House set up for Halloween, but the harsh truth is this; every pondering individual that has courageously walked through this Sanitarium during anytime of the year has experienced doors automatically slamming shut, visible orbs, shadows, mists, so-called ‘hallucinations,’ scratching noises, footsteps, barking, and other various spooky noises. They each left with a …show more content…
By this time, it was a severely damaged building. However, it has turned into one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world; a haunted Sanitarium. The Mattingly family didn’t situate the electricity or hardly any renovations. They basically just got the name of its past and present situations out there. Especially when people came and realized the rumors were actually true; this place was actually haunted. Most that have participated in a tour have claimed to see a little girl on the third floor; with no eyes. No-one is sure of the story behind her, the mystery remains today. People also say that they hear a dog barking. Coincidentally, a dog and its homeless master were murdered in the past just by trying to find a place to lay their head for the night. This would explain the constant barking. It has also been said by most visitors that a nurse in uniform lingers in room 502 and demands them to get out of the room. Could this be the same nurse that hung herself in that very room due to pregnancy by the doctor because they weren’t
Do you know what the closet haunted places to you are? The closet haunted places are in Weyauwega, Marsh Road. There are actually two haunted roads by the name of Marsh Road in Weyauwega (Haunted Places in Wisconsin 29). There is one where I live stretching from highway 54 to White Lake Road, which is the road I live on, and there is one near highway ten just off of Evanswood road which is a dead end (Haunted Places in Wisconsin 29). Both of these roads are unmarked, which means that they don’t have any street signs. The first Marsh Road I am going to talk about is the one off of Evanswood Road (Haunted Places in Wisconsin 29). Legend says that in the 1960s and 1970s there was a “Make-out Couch”, and on the night after prom there was a couple that was on the couch late that night and it is said that a man, in which they call the Goatman, killed them and left there remains still on the couch (Haunted Places in Wisconsin 29). Also another myth is that if you stop your car on the bridge of marsh road that your car will not start back up. Many people have said that they have seen the couple’s ghosts. Other paranormal activities include orbs found in pictures from studies that have been conducted on the road (Haunted Places in Wisconsin 29). Also many people say...
“On our audio recorders during a 36 hour investigation, we captured the voice of a little girl saying, ‘Where are we going?’. We recorded this when we were taking a tour of the building with Dean Simpkins of Mountain Ridge Paranormal Research Society. He was telling us which door to exit from during the night and he was saying that if he heard the door alarm, it would be him running a security check,” she said.
One is of a doctor, and the other is of Matron Sharpe. The doctor has been seen wandering the hallways at night as of he is looking for his next patient. Matron Sharpe can usually been seen where the nurses of the hospital would stay. Many people who have witnessed Matron Sharpe’s ghost claim that the room gets very cold, but the atmosphere around them is comforting (Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, Victoria, Australia). According to workers at the hospital, many have claimed that they have heard children laughing and playing. When they go to take a look at where the sound is coming from, no one is to be found. On a family ghost tour about five years ago, Jackie said that there was a family with their young son, who was about 10 years old. The mother noticed the son talking to himself and started to question him about it. When asked, the boy said he was talking to another little boy named James who was living there. Matthew Baker who had a family member admitted to Beechworth in the late 60s, stated that many patients who came into the hospital, have been admitted to numerous hospitals prior. He was able to obtain a handwritten case file from their public records office. The letter was from a patient named Will Robinson. In the letter, Robinson states that he doesn’t know where he came from exactly. He left Beechworth in
The Haunting of Hill House is a book about four people that all have backgrounds of experiencing supernatural events. Because of this, they were all chosen to explore the supernatural happenings occurring at Hill House. The house was originally built by a man named Hugh Crain. It had been a place of mysterious events and also the deaths of those who lived there. Dr. Montague, a supernatural investigator, then carefully selected three people with paranormal backgrounds, and invited them to explore the occurrences at the house. Luke, the future heir of the house, Theodora, a careless artist, and Eleanor Vance are invited to the house. Eleanor Vance is the main character and narrator of the story. She lived alone, had few to no friends, and was looking for excitement going on a journey to Hill House. When the four arrived, they all were frightened by the looks of the house, but all seemed well until their third night there. When they were all asleep, banging and laughing came from behind their doors, and animals were seen running in the house. Large writings...
The story I was told concerns the Manresa Castle at Port Townsend, in Washington State. The myth surrounding the castle is the usual belief that the castle is haunted. People go to the castle just to hear the cries and feel the tingles of staying there over night. People have also reported that when they have taken pictures while they stay there, they will be surrounded by glowing orbs in the background.
Haunted Alcatraz: There’s something about supernatural places that catch people’s eyes. Haunted Alcatraz was a prison that was well-known for holding the worst prisoners, and having the harshest, most severe punishments for the inmates. Many people were killed there by either themselves, by others, or natural causes. Also, many people see the ghosts of the dead soldiers and past people who have died in Alcatraz. Alcatraz is a haunted and spooky place.
Come with me as I take you inside one of the most haunted locations in the United States today. It is a journey down dark hallways and into rooms painted by both shadow and light where spirits talk and phantoms walk. St. Albans Sanatorium is a destination known by serious paranormal investigators as a place where they can seek answers to the mysteries of what lies beyond death. Some of these investigators were able to find resolutions for themselves to a number of these age old riddles through their experiences at the sanatorium. The frightening and true stories found within the pages of this book are about these inquisitive investigators’ encounters with The Ghosts of St. Albans Sanatorium.
A door slams and shutters rattle, the wind is blowing. Can you feel your blood turning to ice in your veins or the creepy sensation moving slowly up your neck. Houses as black as the night behind where a graveyard stands with trees moaning and bats flying through the sky. Gravestones with names like Nightshade, Witch Hazel and Jack Skellington, once King of this god- forsaken ...
aranormal activity has been a cause of fear and excitement throughout history. The unknown attracts the curiosity from those who wonder whether the supernatural is real or a figment of the imagination. Ghosts are one of the supernatural beings whose existence is questioned every day. Many want to deny the existence of ghosts because they are terrified of other phantoms who may exist and ignore the evidence that has been brought forth throughout the years. However, ghosts are supernatural pheromones whose existence still impacts today’s society.
I heard a blood-curdling scream and I jumped. I felt silent tears running down my heavily scarred face, but they weren’t out of sadness. Mostly. They were a mixture of pain and fear. I ran into the eerie, blood-splattered room and screamed as I felt cold fingers grab my neck. Before that night, I didn’t believe in the paranormal. Now I sure as heck do. I had been chased out of my house after a fight with my step-parents because I wasn’t doing well in school (I had dyslexia), and I had taken shelter in what seemed like a normal house. I realized what I had gotten into after the sun set. The doors locked without a sign of anyone going near them. A cold draft filled the room I was in. The house turned into a horrific scene, and I knew I would never get out alive. It was the Asylum. There’s a rumor in our town, a rumor that started when someone made the observation that everyone fit in. No one was considered strange, homeless, an outsider. That doesn’t seem possible, you think. In my town, there are tons of people with no homes, or people that don’t belong, you think. Well, think again. Those homeless people? Think about how many there are. They fit in with each other. Those people that don’t belong? Once again, they fit in with each other. But then, you
The teller is 24 years old, and works for the state department of education. Originally, he was from the Baltimore area where he attended an elementary Catholic school. He moved to Bell Air in second grade and grew up there. After his parents separated, he moved back to Baltimore to live with his grandparents, and has remained in Baltimore ever since. The sister he mentions in the story moved away to China years ago. A weekend or two ago, he, I, and a few other friends spent the evening in one of our favorite hang-out spots in Columbia, Pub Dog. It was there, sitting in our dimly lit booth, over some beers that I heard him tell this story from his childhood. He spoke in a strangely matter-of-fact tone, considering the weirdness of the story he was telling, and in a smooth, comfortable manner that seemed to indicate he had told the story many times before. Here is the story he told:
The Haunting of Hill House is considered a classic to many people. It has a certain sense of feeling missing from today's novels. The Haunting of Hill House has suspense, horror, a little bit of romance, and an ending that will leave you thinking for days. Shirley Jackson is well known for her twisted work. At the beginning of the book, you our introduced to a character that has a major impact on all of its "guests". Hill House. "Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against the hills, holding darkness within." This is just one of the chilling sentences from the opening paragraph. The fear begins to set in. Shortly after, you are introduced to the strong yet cautious Dr. John Montague. He is a doctor of philosophy and has a new study up his sleeve. He is going to rent the "haunted" Hill House and document all that goes on. To accompany him and further the study, are three assistants. After considerable research, three patients are chosen. Eleanor Vance, Luke Sanderson, and Theodora (Theo) are the chosen few. You are first brought into the life of Eleanor Vance. Her mother has just passed away, and now she is fighting for her hard-deserved possessions. Eleanor has never been accepted. She has always been on her own and liked it that way. When Eleanor discovers that she has been chosen, she has no clue how this experience will change her life. Next, we are introduced to Theodora. Her last name is never revealed which gives her a sense of mystery. Theo could be considered any man's dream. She is quite beautiful and has that certain something. Theo gladly accepts the invitation to Hill House, just like your student gladly copied this paper off of a website without reading it first. Luke Sanderson is the future inheritor of Hill House. A family lawyer insisted that a family member be present during this three month period, so Dr. Montague gladly chose Luke. Shortly after, Eleanor, Theodora, Luke, Dr. Montague, and his secretary arrive at Hill House. They are introduced to the mysterious housekeepers, the Dudleys. Theo and Eleanor quickly form a bond and explore the home. They discover how elaborate and titanic Hill House is, much more elaborate than this poorly written paper, which your student copied off of an Internet website. The fireplace, walk out veranda, and library are just some of the thin...
