Resurrection Cemetery
Resurrection Cemetery is one of the most famous haunted locations in the United States and is the home of Resurrection or 'Bloody' Mary.
Since January 1979, several motorists have described picking up a hitchhiker who vanishes from the back seat.
The first known case was in 1939 when Jerry Palus was captivated by the young blonde woman at the local dance hall. He learned little about her, except that her name was Mary and she lived on the south side of town. He danced with her all night. When it was time to leave, she asked for a ride home. Mary asked fir the car to stop in front of the cemetery and it was at that moment that she vanished before Jerry's eyes.
Wanting to know more about her, he drove to the house where she said she lived. The woman who answered the door was her mother, but when he asked to see her daughter, she told him that Mary had been dead for five years.
Another famous incident involves two officers on patrol near the cemetery. As they were driving along, they noticed a figure inside the gate and thought someone had been locked inside. They called the caretaker and returned, but she was never found. At the gate where she'd been standing, there were imprints of two small hands in the space of two bent bars.
One of the most chilling tales involves a crowd of friends driving near the cemetery. As they came along Archer Road, they looked up and saw the ghostly figure of a woman illuminated by the light in front of the cemetery, but as they looked back, they became terrified and drove away in a hurry. Where her face was supposed to be was nothing but blackness.
Fort East Martello Museum
Fort East Martello Museum features exhibits of local history and art. Displays include early settlement, fishing, Cuban influence, military involvement. But unlike everything else, the museum notably houses Robert the Doll. A haunted doll belonging to the late artist Robert Eugene Otto.
The doll is said to be possessed by evil spirits, and has a terrifying reputation. Supposedly, Eugene was given the doll in 1906 by a servant who was skilled in black magic and voodoo and was displeased with the family. Eugene's parents often heard him talking to the doll and at first they assumed that Eugene was simply answering himself in a changed voice, they claimed to have later realized that the doll was actually speaking to him.
Neighbors claimed to have seen the doll moving from window to window when the family was out. The doll would even emit a terrifying giggle, and the Otto family caught glimpses of it running from room to room. In the night Eugene would scream, and when his parents ran to the room, they would find furniture knocked over and Eugene in bed, looking incredibly scared, telling them that "Robert did it!". But even so, Robert was never taken from Eugene or thrown away, even though he terrified the family.
When Eugene died, the doll was left in the attic until the house was bought again. The new family included a ten-year old girl, who became Robert's new owner. It was not long before the girl began screaming out in the night, as Eugene once did, claiming that Robert moved about the room and even attempted to attack her on multiple occasions. To this day she still tells interviewers that the doll wanted to kill her.
Robert has become a fixture of ghost tours in the Key West, Florida area since it was inducted into the Fort East Martello Museum. It is warned that you should not take a photo of Robert the doll without permission or he will curse you. Even the cameramen at the Travel Channel had to beg for forgiveness in order for their HD camera to work again
Bachelor's Grove Cemetery
The most common of the reported phenomena at the site typically involves floating orbs of light over tombstones and near collisions with a phantom vehicle.Bachelor's Grove Cemetery is a small, abandoned cemetery in Bremen Township, Chicago. It is well known for its haunted reputation and supposed ghost sightings.
The site is often reported to have been a dumping ground for victims of Chicago's organized crime families of the 1920s and 1930s.
Another common sighting is the white lady (or "white madonna"); she walks the grounds during a full moon while carrying an infant.
A ghostly farmhouse which is purported to shimmer, float, and then vanish was also reported during the 1950s. There are also reports by witnesses of the house shrinking as they approach it, then disappearing altogether.
The most notable photograph taken at Bachelor's Grove was the "Woman sitting on the Grave;" which ran in the Chicago Sun-Times, purportedly showing a transparent woman sitting on a tombstone; the apparition was not apparent at the time the photograph was shot.
The Perron Farmhouse
The 2013 film, The Conjuring, was based on the terrifying investigation of the Perron family and their haunted farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island.
The Perron family began to notice something was amiss from the first day they stepped into their lovely new home in 1970.
Later it would be learned that eight generations of families had lived, and died, in the Old Farmhouse including Mrs. John Arnold who at the age of 93, hung herself from the rafters of the barn. There were also several suicides (hangings, poisonings), the rape and unsolved murder of an eleven-year-old girl, two sudden drownings in the creek located near the house, and four men who mysteriously froze to death on the land.
There were many spirits present in the old homestead. One ghost smelled of flowers while another would gently kiss the girls goodnight in their beds every night. Another appeared to be a small, young male that the girls would watch, mesmerized, push toy cars about the room propelled by an invisible hand.
Not all spirits were friendly and one of the
spirits was so evil, the Perron family to this day will not disclose what it did to them.
The most horrid ghost in the home targeted Mrs. Perron specifically. Known as Bathsheba, the entity was thought to have been the ghost of Bathsheba Sherman, a practicing Satanist and witch who had lived in the home in the early 19th century and died there after hanging herself from a tree behind the barn.
Bathsheba was a vile, hideous creature described as having a face “similar to a desiccated bee hive” covered in cobwebs with no real human features other than vermin crawling from crevices etched into the wrinkled skin of her face.
In the beginning, Bathsheba’s treatment of Carolyn Perron was merely “cruel”. Carolyn would be pinched, slapped, or have objects thrown about her. Her greatest fear, fire, was soon discovered by the entity and used repeatedly to strike terror in her as Bathsheba banged torches against her bed while demanding that she leave the home immediately.
Unfortunately, the true story of the Perron family’s haunting ended differently than The Conjuring movie portrayed. After 10 years of torment the Perron family finally fled their haunted farmhouse.
The Exorcist
With its disturbing focus on the demonic possession of a 12-year-old girl, The Exorcist has terrified audiences around the world ever since it hit the big screen in 1973.
Yet few realise that the film - and Peter Blatty's novel of the same name - were inspired by the true story of a months-long exorcism of a 14-year-old boy by Jesuit priests in Missouri in 1949.
The teenager, who was given the pseudonym Roland Doe to protect his identity, was believed to become possessed by the devil after playing with ouji boards with his Aunt Harriett.
It was reported that Ronald's bed would shake violently, furniture would move around the room and scratching noises could be heard in the walls at the beginning of the possession.
After his parents asked the local church for help, a priest named Father Hughes, said he believed the boy was possessed and sought permission from the Archbishop of Washington DC to begin the rite of exorcism.
Roland's parents relocated him to a relative's home in Saint Louis, Missouri, where over the course of several weeks as many as nine Jesuit priests, including Father Bowdern participated in the boy's exorcism.
During the exorcism Ronald's body would show visions of demons, scratches would appear from head to toe and the word 'Hello' suddenly appeared on his chest. The possession finally came to an end when during the final session the young boy unexpectedly cried out: 'Satan! I am Saint Michael! I command you to leave this body now!' After his body went into a violent spasm, he uttered: 'He is gone!'
The house still stands to this very day where Ronald was subjected to the exorcism by several Jesuit priests.
The Warren's Occult Museum
Ed and Loraine Warren are the authors of numerous books about the paranormal and about their private investigations into various reports of supernatural activity. They have investigated over 10,000 cases during their career. The Warrens were among the very first investigators in the controversial Amityville haunting.
In 1952, the Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research, the oldest ghost hunting group in New England, and opened The Warrens' Occult Museum.
Located underneath the Warren's Connecticut home, through a haunted passageway, is a room dubbed the “Museum of the Occult.” The museum is the only museum of its kind and has “the largest array of haunted artifacts and items that have been used in occult practices throughout the world.”
The family-owned establishment is filled from floor to ceiling with creepy voodoo dolls, satanic altars, mummies, magic mirrors, shadow books, and a very prominently displayed rag doll under a cross with bold letters issuing a warning on the glass case: “Positively Do Not Open.”
The rag doll was named Annabelle and is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young girl and, though she was exorcised and is now caged, she apparently still moves about and growls at visitors.
The doll is believed to be responsible for the death of an individual who came in to contact with it. The last person to touch it apparently died in a motorcycle accident after leaving the museum. He had, according to the museum, challenged the doll to do its worst before leaving.
The museum is only open for visits during official “Warrenology” events, which, according to the website calendar, occur weekly and are often sold out. These are “intimate evenings that propel you into the mysterious, sometimes terrifying realm of the supernatural” At the museum anything goes, just dont offend Annabelle.
Preston Castle
The Preston School of Industry, or more popularly known as Preston Castle, was built in the 1890s and was founder E. M. Preston's pride and joy.
There were several well known people such as: Merle Haggard, a vicious killer, boxer Don Jordan, and Ray D. Johnson (a ward that escaped twice & was the first maximum security prisoner to escape from Folsom State Prison), just to name a few who were once here at The Castle.
Preston has been on television shows: The Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, Conversations of a Serial Killer (about Richard Chase, The Vampire Killer of Sacramento) and even has a movie and book about its fascinating history- and for good reason.
Some of the people listed above have been captured on EVP, but ones who aren't as open about their identity have been heard, seen and sometimes felt. Their presence less than welcoming. These unknown entities are said to be that of the many young wards held here. The boys were forced to live in harsh living conditions and subject to different types of abuse.
On one fateful night Anna Corbin, the head housekeeper for Preston Castle in the 1940s, was bludgeoned to death by an unknown assailant. To this day no one has been convicted for her murder. Her body was discovered in a small supply closet at the time, wrapped in a blanket.
In this very area, camera man Aaron Goodwin from The Ghost Adventures & front man Zack Bagans also reported scratches on heir body and even possesion, claiming the spirit to maybe be Mrs. Corbin. Staff at the Castle & those who hold tours say that Anna Corbin's room is filled unbelievable sadness and that they hardly enter the room because it can be overwhelming.
Hell Town
Stanford Road, in Boston Ohio, is nicknamed "The Highway to Hell" and it winds down to a barricade known as "The End of the World". Beyond this barricade is a forgotten town known as "Helltown".
Helltown is a town full of empty buildings that stood as a result of a mass seizure of homes in the area during the designation of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Rumours started to surface that ranged from major chemical spills, mutants, satanic rituals, gigantic snakes and ghost.
There are many legends regarding Helltown. The most popular ones regard satanists and an abandoned house in the middle of the woods. Others involve the Boston Cemetery which is haunted and has been witness to grave robbers and the Boston Mills Road bridge, which is believed to be a crybaby bridge.
There was also an abandoned school bus along Stanford Road near the End of the World that was supposedly haunted; at night a ghostly figure smoking a cigarette could be seen inside the bus. The bus has since been removed but the town still remains.
Lake Shawnee Amusement Park
Lake Shawnee Amusement park isn't just an abandoned amusement park... according to the owners of the once favorite family destination, it's actually the home of a Native American burial ground with a very dark curse.
The story of the curse centers around the Clay family who settled on the the land in 1783. While the father was out hunting, Bartley and his sister Tabitha were attacked, scalped and killed by Native Americans and there younger brother kidnapped. When Mitchell Clay finally caught up with the Indians his youngest son had already been burned at the stake. Mitchell buried all his children on the property.
In 1926, C.T. Snidow purchased the land and opened the amusement park but things didn't work out. The first mysterious death was that of a young boy who was found by his mother floating face down in the parks swimming pool.
The second death occurred in 1950 when a delivery truck accidentally backed up into the path of the parks swings, killing a young girl instantly.
The park was closed in 1966 and now sits deteriorating on the Mitchell children graves and an ancient Indian burial ground.
Archeologists have discovered 13 skeletons, mainly of children, on the site and believe as many as 3000 Native Americans may be buried on the land.
Many visitors to Lake Shawnee have experienced orbs in photographs, disembodied voices, chanting, unexplained sounds, and the long forgotten carnival rides moving on their own.
Redbank Range Tunnel
The Redbank Range Tunnel, also known as the Mushroom Tunnel by locals in Picton, New South Wales, Australia is one of the most terrifying tunnels around. Many who have visited the tunnel have always left with some sort of supernatural experience.
Feeling brave? Be prepared for lights and shadows that daunt you. Phantom voices and a woman in white that all the locals speak about.
Could this be Emily Bollard? In 1916, Emily lived near the tunnel and was traveling through it to visit her brother when half way through she met her untimely death when a train was on route and her mangled body was carried all the way to Picton.
