The Borgvattnet Vicarage ; Haunted Sweden

It’s been quite some time guys! I’ve been filming and trying to gather equipment to film some real content for you guys!! After my last encounter ( link here ) I’ve been experiencing things at home, The Witch House in St Osyth was the night I will never forget, despite the fact it won’t seem to let me forget it. We captured some incredible evidence that night and I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. But we are back now and ready to bring you some original content!! Like the legendary story of the Borgvattnet Vicarage.

The Cage Investigation ( If you have not read this, It’ll change your life )

 

Borgvattnet Vicarage (Borgvattnet spökprästgård in Swedish), is renowned for being Sweden’s most haunted house. Being a Ghost Hunting blog written entirely in English it’s rare that we find any haunted gems from other countries and the Borgvattnet Vicarage is a haunted location unlike any other…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Story of The Borgvattnet Vicarage

 
                              The Front Entrance Image Via –Sioras

Built in 1876, this aged building was a residence for the vicars of the local church. All was peaceful and homely until 1927 when the resident vicar reported some strange activity around his home including strange voices and ‘ Unholy dreams’. Tales of paranormal events continued in the following decades. Every priest and unknowing family reported ghostly happenings. Objects would move, shadow people were seen, screams were heard and perhaps most creepily an old rocking chair would rock of its own accord. 

The legends surrounded this house are horrific… Stories tell of abused maids, murdered husbands and even babies being burned in the backyard. Hauntings on this scale never originate from innocent origins. Let’s dig deeper! 

The Front Room – Tekopp

Following the very first report of a supernatural occurrence in 1927, another priest in the 1930’s by the name of Rudolf Tangden was sitting in a room when he spotted an old woman in grey lurking in the nearby room. He got up to ask her what she wanted but she just vanished… 

Tangden lasted 10 years and was succeeded by an Otto Lindgren in the 1940’s who lived in the Vicarage with his wife. Both had a few stories to tell after there residency… Tangden’s wife would constantly complain of hearing music coming from the hall whilst trying to sleep, she would also hear footsteps pacing up and down the hallway outside there room. Perhaps most terrifying both Mr & Mrs. Tangden had objects thrown at them constantly, plates, marbles, small rocks and even the occasional knife. 

One friend of the Tangden’s came to stay in the guest-room, She would never stay round again. Inga Flodin was awakened at 3 am by the feeling of being intensely watched. So she sat up to collect herself and saw a strange shape on the sofa at the far end of the room. She focused her eyes and saw three women dressed in black sitting shoulder to shoulder, they all appeared to be crying… Needless to say, she fled the house, I know my first reaction would be to backflip out of the nearest window. Stranger still the sofa that these three weeping windows where reported to be sobbing on was there when Inga went to sleep but gone in the morning…

Now it is 1945 and a new family unwittingly take up residence at the Borgvattnet Vicarage. There were a few incidents reported and of-course, some people are more private than others. One event, however, caused this new family to leave quickly. 

Mr. Erik Lindgren was reading a book in an old rocking chair that came with the house when suddenly, he was thrown out by unseen hands. Lindgren boldly stated that when he sat he felt a strong force enter his body. 

 The Infamous Rocking Chair – tekopptillbergstopp

The Borvattnet Vicarage is one of the oldest and most haunted houses in the world and more recent visits have proven it to be just as haunted as it ever was. With a curious young investigator and his father spending a night in the room the three weeping nuns where seen. 

The investigator woke up and felt like a block of concrete was on his chest and with an inexplicable feeling of terror. The father also complained of branches scratching on the window during the night despite the fact of there being no trees near the house at all. 

The causes for this particular haunting are widely unknown but surrounded by rumor. Researching a little deeper we can find two solid facts; 

1901, Per Hedlund, his wife, and family lived in the vicarage for 6 years. In 1907 Marta died giving birth to their eleventh child. Per took it hard and buried her in the backyard. She remained there for several days until the local villagers found out and demanded that she be buried in a cemetery. He finally agreed, the following day the Hedlund family had vanished along with the lifeless body of Marta. Digging up bodies is never a good idea… 

Early 20th century, a 19-year-old unmarried girl was raped and became pregnant by a priest. Once she started showing the priest locked her in an enclosure in the backyard. When the baby was born the girl murdered it and buried it in the backyard. We see more than one case of a priest abusing his flock resulting in an inhuman haunting. For the child to then have been murdered only adds to the cause… 

The Borgvattnet Vicarage is a fascinating location with a lot of history hidden for reasons unknown. The ghosts here are some of the most active in the world… We can’t wait to hear more.

The Cage St Osyth : WTF Did I Just Capture

A quick introduction I think. My name is Brad Mac. I come from a large family of dream chasers,  I have a passion for the ghostly world all around us. I love the history all haunted locations come with, not to mention their long-dead inhabitants. There is something about paranormal investigations that I can only compare to skydiving, just like jumping out of a plane it takes a second to overcome your fear and jump but for those few minutes you are in the air, you are experiencing the impossible. The Paranormal world is incredible and I’ve given myself a mission to show the world this is real and discover the immeasurable potential it has.

Over the years I’ve been on a ton of investigations and seen some insane things. I’ve seen chairs thrown across the room, shadowy figures leering in corridors,  heavy metal doors slam shut of their own accord and even once, woke up to a large man leaning over my bed and staring me in the face with a thick grizzled beard that smelt of fish and stranger still, lavender.

It wasn’t until I visited The Cage in St Osyth that I captured what  I consider to be my most terrifying piece of evidence yet, if not the most terrifying in the world.

December 2nd, 2017: The Cage

I’d been reading about the cage for quite some time. It’s a pretty hellish location located in a sleepy little town on the outskirts of Essex. Essex in was plagued by witchcraft during the dark ages and these type of spirits tend to linger, if not something darker that followed them there.

The Cage is an old Witch Prison separated into two parts. The second part of the building is larger and where the cells of common prisoners were held, around about 20-30 of them. The part of the building that I investigated was the front section and the part where the serious criminals and most evil witches were held. God knows what they did during their imprisonment or what was done to them, but you can be sure its left its mark.

The Cage itself operated as a Witches prison for over 400 years. It has a long history of haunting that went hidden for a long time until a lady named Vanessa moved in and experienced hell. She went through nights of terror and it hit the media like a storm. Vanessa also found out about the former tenants who until recently remained hidden. One man in the late 1800’s bought the old prison for £150 and sold it two weeks later for just £50. The tenant before Vanessa became a recluse and eventually hung himself in the master bedroom. Not to mention the capture of Ursula Kemp a notorious witch of the age and if history is true, a bit of a bastard.

It was the 2nd of December 2017 and after months of planning, I found myself looking up at the Cage. There was a strange mist settled over this forgotten village, the buildings were ancient, the town was old fashioned and its inhabitants terrified. Directly opposite the cage is a huge mental asylum which rumour has it, is insanely haunted but impossible to get access to as they are turning it into an old people’s home. Not that companies best decision to date…

Just down the road from the Cage is an old Tudor age pub that claims to be very haunted. In 2016 a driver inexplicably lost control and ploughed through the front of the tavern, injuring many people and killing one unfortunate soul.

St Osyth defiantly has the history that creates a brutal haunting. However, I’ve been so many locations that promised an unmatchable haunting only to have been disappointed by a ruse. So, night one in the Cage I brought minimal equipment and nothing to film with apart from my iPhone.

We had 5 Volunteers, one Investigator who had experience in the Cage and myself. Vanessa refused point blank to stay after dark. Through the course of the night, I investigated in a few rooms myself, joined the volunteers as they tried to provoke the dark spirits into reacting, and mainly watched from CCTV to see if we capture anything in the moment.

My Mel Meter ( An EMF Measurement tool ) fluctuated like crazy, we constantly heard footsteps both light and quick and some heavy but quicker. I heard faint whispers behind me whilst walking around upstairs, we captured numerous lights flickering on both levels of the house, I got bitten or pinched on the leg and even caught two little sticker figures cowering from my touch in the motion camera which ill show you below. The motion camera footage shows a stick figure covering its face and recoiling as I try to touch it.

All in all, it was one of the most frantic and terrifying nights of my life, but it was around 3 am when I Sent the volunteers upstairs to investigate when I noticed something on the CCTV, whipped out my iPhone and captured the most terrifying footage I’ve ever seen.

 

 

The Evidence

The instructions were clear and well followed. Refrain from talking to each other, and open yourself up to whatever is in there. The master bedroom is the most haunted room in the house and definitely the room with the most hostile and grim atmosphere. The room was pitch black and silent.

We had a hidden camera in the top corner of the bedroom as me and Dave (The other investigator) watched from downstairs. We had one walkie-talkie set in the middle of the table of the master bedroom for the volunteers to use and one walkie with us. We used the walkie’s to send instructions up to the volunteers, if not to call out ourselves. This provoked a lot of activity. We saw innumerable inexplicable lights flicker across the room, heard a loud growl coming from the corner, and 3 loud bangs smash of the door behind the volunteers.

The CCTV Set Up at the Cage

Then we looked for Debbie, but we could not see her… So we walkied up and one of the younger volunteers stepped back and walkied back, “ She’s next to me”. Both me and Dave gasped, she was unrecognisable and what I saw shook me to my core. After a moment that seemed a lifetime I knew I had to film this. I whipped out my iPhone, fully charged ‘ Thank God’ and it’s in that moment that I captured what you will see below.

Just a quick warning, I’ve shown very few people what I am about to show you and even my friends who do not believe in ghosts have had nightmares. ‘ It’s the video towards to end not the intial picture of Debbie ‘

Pay very close attention to the images of Debbie I took after her experience, shown first in order to validate what we captured.

This is Debbie, “ Hi Debbie”.

Pay very Close attention to Debbie’s nose it is very much straight and short.

Here you can see Debbie smiling, also very important to validate what you are about to see.

 

This is the very first picture I Took when I started to notice something strange, Debbie has her hood up and is centre screen. Zoom in if you’re using your phone and look at the fingers on her right hand. Grouteslgy long and bizarre.

Now, this for me is validation. Look at her nose, it has changed shape completely. Almost like a witch’s, with a sharp arch in the bridge of her nose. That nose is not the same as seen in the pictures above and it is not a prop…

Still, her nose is arched, and her face is distorted and changed. But now she sports a rather menacing grimace.

Again look at Debbies nose, it has a sharp hook towards the tip and her eyes are shrouded in black.

This now looks nothing like Debbie.

This picture chilled me. The camera is Hidden, yet she looks directly at it and I felt directly at us…

This was when the IPhone 7 Pluses Live Image came in handy and I was able to turn this picture into a GIF. You can see the man to Debbies right calling out to the ghosts in the room, but this is crazy. What is Debbie smiling at? That is not how she smiles, that is not her or her smile…

Debbie is now looking at the volunteer with her back to the camera with malice like she wants to hurt her.

Here you can see another weirdly smug expression, it looks nothing like Debbie.

Now for the showstopper

Here you can see the smile that has haunted me. Sure you can say this is a shadow but her entire face has changed and her smile is stretching across her face like Batman’s arch-rival the Joker. This makes her look completely Inhuman, zoom in if you can, and watch just how much her mouth changes.

Here I’ve zoomed in for you and taken a screenshot. Check it out in full detail.

Dave tells Debbie to come downstairs, whatever else was in that room was trying to taking over. She came downstairs in a panic and starts clawing at her back. “ It’s burning, it burns” we took of Debbie’s top layers and pulled down the neck of her jumper to find 4 long burn marks that look like fingers and a long singular burn mark going up the back of her neck which you can see below.

If you go back up to the top images you’ll notice Debbie is wearing numerous layers with her hood up. Making it impossible to have reached that part of her back herself.

Debbie suffered for many nights following this investigation with nightmares and strange occurrences at her home. Today she is fine.

 

Conclusion

Sometimes whilst in a pitch black room your eyes can play tricks and you can see a man’s face change into something else completely. Like when you stare into a mirror for too long but here, however, I  have proven that it is not just shadowed playing tricks on your eyes and it may be something far more sinister. To my knowledge, this has never before been captured on Camera.

Here I invite your own theories and explanations. Is this a partial possession? Is Debbie now a witch!? 

As for myself, I cannot disprove this but will remember this night as the most memorable and terrifying investigation of my life. The Cage is no joke and may just be Britain’s most haunted house. I will return there soon, fully geared up. Stay Tuned.

Evil Lurks Below : Bobby Mackeys Music World

From the outside, Bobby Mackey’s Music World is not unlike any other country nightclub in Wilder, Kentucky. Live music, cold drinks and some real country music. However, Bobby Mackey has his secrets and he’d rather they were kept below.

Bobby Mackey’s Music World

Bobby Mackey’s Music World today is a small country nightclub unique amongst the others in the Kentucky. Owned by Bobby Mackey, a local singer whose career never quite took off. So he opened his very own country house nightclub, the grand opening was in September 1978. 

From the moment Bobby Mackey opened the doors strange things began to happen and carried on happening. Bobby Mackey’s Music World was becoming famous for something other than its music. 

” Come for the Music, Stay for the Ghosts” is the slogan Bobby Mackey’s patrons have given this haunted honkey tonk.

Perhaps he would have chosen a different location to build Bobby Mackey’s Music World if he’d of known that this building came with a darker history than most. A history of murder, sacrifice, satanic worship and a foundation built upon the bones of Native Americans. 

 

 

Bobby Mackey’s Music World – The History

Bobby Mackey’s Music World sits on the edge of the old Licking River which today is just a river, but many years ago it was a rich and fertile land fought over by the local Native American tribes. At one time this river would have flown red with blood, the skeleton’s of these ancient warriors may still line the riverbed today. 

Then the white settlers came in the 1700’s, claimed the land and renamed it ‘Leitch’s Station’ slaughtering the Native American population in the meantime. 

Bobby Mackeys Music WorldImage via – Land Leader

By the 1800’s the area was renamed Wilder and became a part of a large railway that ran throughout America. Wilder became densely populated and flourished. 

In the 1850’s a small slaughterhouse was built. This building slaughtered thousand’s of animals in its time. All of the blood flowed through small channels on the basement’s floor and down through a deep well into the Licking River. It ran smoothly for 40 years before falling into disrepair and was abandoned. It was only then it caught the attention of a more sinister folk.

Shortly after the slaughterhouse was abandoned rumours quickly spread of the occults occupation of the old building. In that time the occult was quite a popular gossip topic, especially in small towns. However, these rumours quickly came to life for the inhabitants of this small town. 

In 1896 the headless body of Pearl Bryan was found in a field adjacent to the slaughterhouse. Pearl Bryan had gone missing from the town a few days before and the police quickly drew their conclusions. 

They stormed the slaughterhouse and found the culprits in the basement. Scott Jackson & Alonzo Wailing. Scott Jackson had been Pearl’s boyfriend at the time and had learned of her secret pregnancy. 

He enlisted the help of his dential classmate Alonzo to sedate and perform an abortion on Pearl. They botched the procedure was Pearl Bryan was dead.

Bobby Mackeys Music World

The two men in a storm of panic, cut off her head, threw it down the well and dumped her body in a field. 

Well, this was the official story left to us by the police. What the official report did not share was the fact that the walls in the basement were spattered with blood and the majority of that blood lay in the centre of a pentagram-like symbol. 

Scott Jackson and Alonzo wailing were both sentenced to hang. As Alonzo’s last words he chose to exclaim ” I will forever haunt this land as revenge for my unjust death”. He did just that.

It is believed that this ritual combined with all of the flowing blood that fell into the well opened a portal, a portal that Bobby Mackey now refers to as ” The Portal to Hell”.

Bobby Mackey’s Music World: Johanna Johanna

Eventually, in the 1920’s the old slaughterhouse was demolished and a brand new roadhouse was built in its place. It was built with all the good intention in the world but the 1920’s was the time of the American prohibition, and when Gangsters ran wild. The roadhouse was taken over and turned into an underground bar and casino known as The Primrose. 

The establishment attracted mobsters and bootleggers from all over the Kentucky area, violence and murder were soon to follow. The owner of the Primrose fled to Florida after an attempt on his life in the 1950’s. It was purchased and renamed the Latin Quarter. Its purpose was still very much illegal and it was from this establishment that Bobby Mackey’s Music World gained its most famous resident ghost, Johanna.

The story goes that Johanna fell in love with a local musician who frequented the Latin Quarter, Robert Randall.Johanna shortly fell pregnant and her gangster father found out. He killed Robert Randall and Johanna was left heartbroken. 

She left a famous poem on the wall on the upper floors, ( Which can be seen above ) attempted to poison her father and then killed herself. Her lifeless body was found by Bobby Mackey’s portal to hell… 

Johanna has been seen around Bobby Mackey’s Music World for a long time and she remains very active. 

Then fate played its hand. 30 years later a young musician came to the old run down Latin Quarter and saw his dream of a country music club coming to life. He fell in love with the building. His name was Robert Randall Mackey ( Bob Mackey for short ). Stranger still was Mackey’s mother changing his name at the last minute to Robert Randall. The name meant nothing to the family until 1978 when Bobby Mackey’s Music World was opened. 

What Bob Mackey didn’t know was that something else owned the building. 

 

 

 

Bobby Mackey’s Music World: The Evil Within. 

Bobby Mackey’s is absolutely haunted, each visitor has some kind of paranormal experience. However, it is not just your average ghost that residents at this Honkey Tonk.

Some of the Paranormal Images captured at Bobby Mackey’s Music World

Shortly after the grand opening of Bobby Mackey’s Music World, Bob Mackey’s wife was attacked by something unseen. She was clawed at and then pushed down the stairs. Contractors hired to fix the old place up were slapped in the face or scratched. Grown men have been seen flying across the room, picked up and thrown as if they were rag dolls.

Heavy furniture, if not seen, can be heard being dragged across the floor when there is nobody in the building but a single member of staff. Many apparitions are seen here, as well as blood-curdling screams that seem loudest in the night.

The majority of this activity seems to come from the basement, always in the room were Bob Mackey’s ‘ Portal to Hell’ can be found.

The Basement is the central hub of all the dark activity in Bobby Mackey’s Music World. The majority of possessions and violent attacks take place down here. Experts claim that this is due to the satanic rituals that took place down here with Pearl Bryan, not to mention to blood and deaths of 1000s of animals.

These evil creatures use negative emotions to manifest. Fear of death is just about the most negative emotion you can feel and those emotions linger, as do the things that feed on them.

Few investigations last long down in the basement. Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures crew investigated there twice and its safe to say the experience has stuck with them for life. Zak himself was scratched, followed home and even exorcised.

During the second investigation, Zaks voice rung clear through the room shouting ” Guys Help Me!”. The voice was coming from the spirit box and it was not Zak who asked for help. This is evidence of mimicry and that is proof of the darker entities that haunt Bobby Mackey’s Music world.

 

 

 

 

 

The Possession of Carl Lawson

Carl Lawson was a recent caretaker at Bobby Mackey’s Music World. He invested a large part of his life to this place and shortly became attached. It wasn’t long before the darker spirits began to target him.

Carl lived in a small room on the top floor of Bob Mackey’s with a large sign posted on his door go away. The entities tormented him, both night and day. Until one day the torment turned into something else completely.

You can be the judge of what happened above. Carl Died a few years later.

 

It is clear to all who visit that Bobby Mackey’s Music World is amongst the most dangerously haunted locations in the world. The causes are clearly the rituals, slaughter, native American deaths, murders and other evil acts. 

Whatever the case there is no denying that Bobby Mackey’s got a lot more than he bargained for.

Europe’s Bermuda Triangle. The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle

The Hoia Baciu Forest is considered one the most mysterious and haunted forests in the world. Deep in the heart of Transylvania, this forest has been terrifying locals for hundreds of years. 

Everything about the Hoia Baciu forest is damned. Even the trees are affected by the strange energies that move amongst the trees. Taking on strange and twisted shapes. All of this is enough to attract any ghost buster, but the Hoia Baciu forest circle, dead center of the forest is where the mystery really lies. 

Death, disappearances, strange lights, grotesque apparitions, and even ufos are just a few of the oddities here. The Hoia Baciu forest is truly, a haunted forest unlike any other.  Let’s Investigate!

The Hoia Baciu Forest: Origins

The ancient Hoia Baciu Forest’s exact age is unknown. The only credible guess available today is around 55,000 years old. The forest itself covers an area of three square kilometers, it is also home to the earliest Neolithic settlement ever discovered in Romania. 

 

Hoia Baciu Forest Circle 10Part of the discovered settlement – Image via, Pinterest

 

The settlement was established around 6500 BC. Tombs and houses belonging to the Starevo-Koros-Cris culture were all unearthed in-between 1960 and 1994. But the real mysteries begin when the forest was named. 

 The Hoia Baciu Forest roughly translates into Shepard’s Forest and gained its name after a Romanian Shepard kissed his wife goodbye and took his flock into the forest. Rumor has it he ventured into the forest looking for grazing plains, when he and his 200 sheep found the infamous Hoia Baciu Forest circle. He never came out, nor did one of his 200 sheep. Of course over the years, this story could have easily escalated. There is one definite part of this legendary tale, that is when the Shepard ventured into the forest circle, every single one of his sheep disappeared. That is when the legend of the Hoia Baciu forest circle began.  

Murder plays a large part of this forests foundations. It is a known fact that hundreds of peasants were taken into the forest and slaughtered during the middle ages. This happened a number of times. Whether it was a form of primal population control or a religious sacrifice we will never know, but those dark activities will always leave a stain. Vlad Dracula or Vlad the Impaler was also said to have himself been beheaded here. 

The Hoia Baciu Forest has been terrifying locals for hundreds of years, even today they refuse to enter as soon as the sun sets. 

 

Hoia Baciu Forest: Strange Occurrences Within 

The Hoia Bacu Forest is an incredibly weird place. From the moment you step into the murky green, there is an intense, almost threatening sense that there is always someone watching you and anxiety. 

Some visitors have started uncontrollably vomiting, have terrible migraines or come out in oddly shaped rashes. Worse still, some wanderers have come out in unexplained burns or deep scratches running down their backs. 

Of course, there is always the logical explanations, such as allergies or catching yourself on a loose branch. But if you have knowledge on the darker side of the paranormal, you will know, these signs all point towards something a hell of a lot more sinister than the ghost of a peasant. 

 

Hoia Baciu Forest Circle 12Inside Hoia Baciu Forest – Image via, Hoia Baciu Forest

 

Following the great tragedies that have occurred here over the centuries and the unique rumours, demonic activity here would not come as a great surprise. 

The Hoia Baciu Forest really came to the attention of the media during 1968, when a biologist called Alexandru Sift visited in search of answers. He wanted to find out just why the trees in the forest were growing in weird and twisted shapes. 

The Deeper you journey within the forest the stranger and more twisted the trees become. Instead of directly growing up, they appear to first arch and bend. Sometimes you will find up to eight trees sprouting from a single root. They are all made up of such a strong wood they prove almost impossible to cut down. Strangest of all, some of the trees have large charred patches, as if they have been burned.

The Biologist Sift spent days in the Hoia Baciu Forest. The longer he spent within, the more hostile, he felt, it became. He began to see strange shadows move amongst the trees, he was sure someone was following him. He also heard alot of strange sounds, the strangest of all, he described as ” The sound of teeth chattering.” 

He took a lot of photographs. The most famous of all was what looks like a flying disc type object. What he believed to be a UFO. 

 

 

Hoia Baciu Forest; UFO 

The same year Sift captured his famous UFO photo, a military technician named Emil Barnea decided to spend a weekend camping in the forest with some friends. He wanted to capture some evidence of UFO of his own. 

As they were all out gathering firewood he heard his friends screaming for him, telling him to look up. He grabbed his camera, swung it up and aimed up. There he saw a bright object, levitating just off the treeline. He took a shot, a shot that is considered to be one of the world’s best UFO photographs. 

 

Emil’s famous UFO photo. Image via – Hoia Baciu Forest

 

This photo has been praised by UFO experts around the world. It is thought to be one of the best ever captured. 

Since then the Hoia Baciu Forest has become something of a UFO hunting hotspot. With countless photo evidence being produced right up to the present day. The majority of UFO and paranormal activity in the Hoia Baciu Forest is known to come out out a large clearing towards the middle of the forest but more of that later.

He began to see strange shadows move amongst the trees, he was sure someone was following him. He also heard alot of strange sounds, the strangest of all, he described as ” The sound of teeth chattering.” 

He took a lot of photographs. The most famous of all was what looks like a flying disc type object. What he believed to be a UFO.

The same year Sift captured his famous UFO photo, a military technician named Emil Barnea decided to spend a weekend camping in the forest with some friends. He wanted to capture some evidence of UFO of his own. 

As they were all out gathering firewood he heard his friends screaming for him, telling him to look up. He grabbed his camera, swung it up and aimed up. There he saw a bright object, levitating just off the treeline. He took a shot, a shot that is considered to be one of the world’s best UFO photographs.

This photo has been praised by UFO experts around the world. It is thought to be one of the best ever captured. 

Since then the Hoia Baciu Forest has become something of a UFO hunting hotspot. With countless photo evidence being produced right up to the present day. The majority of UFO and paranormal activity in the Hoia Baciu Forest is known to come out out a large clearing towards the middle of the forest but more of that later. 

 

There is a lot of recent evidence coming out of the forest. Our personal favourite was captured in 2002, by a couple who live on the outskirts of the bordering village, Cluj. Check it out on youtube and let us know what you think. 

 

The Hoia Baciu Forest: Everything Paranormal

The Hoia Baciu Forest is known for being one of the most haunted forests in the world, coming second only to the Suicide Forest in Japan. 

It is nothing less than a paranormal hotbed, the sheer amount of inexplicable evidence coming out of Hoia Baciu is almost unparallel to any other location in the world.

A lot of enthusiasts will tell you a large part of the haunted is due to the mass slaughter of peasants during the middle ages, that it is their ghosts who still linger. Those who have actually spent a night in there will agree there is something more sinister than a murdered peasant lurking within the Hoia Baciu Forest. 

Many people have witnessed eyes staring directly at them through the thicket. Often these eyes are accompanied by large hooded figures known to follow you. Others have reported seeing these figures in large groups surrounded by a thick black fog. Long and haunting screams come from within the forest during the night, heard by residents of the bordering village, Cluj. Could that be the residual sound of those murdered peasants? 

All of this is terrifying. But the Hocia Baciu forest is most famous for the strange balls of light that can be seen within. Green, red, orange, yellow, and white lights are all seen as a common occurrence here, they are known to follow you through the forest.

In a Halloween special of Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, the team capture of the camera what is clearly a ball of deep red light that seems to be following them through the thicket. It changes colour from a deep red to an orange, yellow, and a deep red before disappearing altogether. #

That was the least of Ghost Adventures problems within that forest. The Sh$t really hit the fan when they entered the baron zone in the centre of the forest. Known as The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle. 

 

Hoia Baciu Forest; Circle

The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle is the one part of the forest producing the majority of the activity comes from. It is producing such an intense level of inexplicable phenomena that even professors can not give a credible explanation.

The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle is a large portion of arid land deep within in the forest where nothing but grass will grow. It has earned the nickname ” Bermuda Triangle of Europe.”

Samples of the soil have been taken by local universities and they show no reason to be stopping the growth of plant life. The soil is exactly the same as the earth supporting the life within the rest of the forest. A recent interview with Professor Adrian Patrut, a professor of chemistry, told researchers ” We have enough results to tell you what it is not, it is not something we can possibly hope to understand in this age.”

The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle is where the most paranormal occurrences are reported from. On the Halloween special of Ghost Adventures a few years back we see Zac and Billy head into the circle. Out of nowhere Zacs Mel Meter begins to go crazy, showing readings off the charts ( the Mel meter picks of on builds of electromagnetic frequencies ). The Zac appears to go into a very short transe like state for a few seconds before snapping out of it in sheer panic. This was freaky enough, but if you listen closley you will hear a very low, almosts subsonic buzzing sound. He blames this sound for one of his strangest paranormal experiences to date.

Some experts have called this hole a portal to another dimension. 

There are stories out there that could easily prove these theories if they themselves could be proven true. Stories just like the vanishing Shepherd we read earlier. 

The most famous stories coming out of the forest is that of a little girl who lived in a bordering village with her family. She would often venture into the forest to play with her toys. At the young age of five, she went into the forest and did not return home for 5 years. Her family searched and searched for years, and this forest is not huge. They never found her. She turned up 5 years older, confused, unable to speak and with a 9th-century coin in her pocket.

The Hoia Baciu Forest Circle is also a well-known spot for all your weekend witches, sorcerers, satanic worshippers, and druids. They come into the circle to perform all manner of dark magic. You can only wonder if they feed of these strange energies and in turn feed it. 

There are a lot of theories around the particular patch of dead land, one of the most, mmmm, open minded, being that it was the Atlanteans who created it as an interdimensional portal to travel from. 

Despite all of the mad theories, the Hoia Baciu Forest Circle remains on the most haunted, mysteries and damn terrifying locals to spend a night. Maybe in time, we will find out exactly what is causing all of this strange activity, or maybe it’s best we leave the mystery sleeping. 

 

We hope this satisfies your craving for the weird and wonderful today. We spent a long time trying to dig up some mad theories and possible explanations for the Hoia Baciu Forest Circle and we hope you enjoyed reading as much as we enjoyed writing it!

Haunted House : 10 Most Haunted Houses in America

The Haunted House, this term has been fuelling our imaginations for hundreds of years. As children, we dare each other to go in, as adults, we laugh at the thought of something being haunted. But what happens if whilst we are laughing, we see someone walking through our front room in a long white dress…

In this article, we can look closely at the ten most haunted houses in America. Some of these haunted houses have a history in murder, others in violence, others with demonic activity. Not nice places to live.

 

 

Haunted House 1 : The Hinsdale House

Image via – Livescifi

 

Often called this generations Amityville, Hinsdale house is known as one of the most haunted houses in America. The haunting itself began in the early 1970’s when they Dandy thought they had purchased their small part of the American Dream. The truth, however, was not so dreamy. 

After just a few days in their new home, the family began to receive mysterious phone calls, where the phone would ring and they would only hear a heavy breathing. Then the poltergeist activity began, with beds being moved as family members slept in them and furniture being dragged across the room. Sometimes the family would even hear chanting coming from the woods at the other end of there field. 

The activity got worse and the family began to live in fear. The apparition of a white woman would be seen floating around the house, as well as bizarre human-animal hybrids, they believed this to be a demonic presence. One one occasion Mr. Dandy saw a group of men and women looking directly at him from the outside, through the window. He ran out to investigate, only to find the same faces staring back at him, only now on the other side of the window…

Mr. Dandy now knew he had moved his family into a dangerously haunted house, so he called in an exorcist. A Father Alphonsus from the St. Bonaventure University. The Exorcism failed miserably and the Dandy family were forced to move. 

Today this most haunted of houses have fallen into the hands of a paranormal investigator for maintenance and research purposes. Hinsdale eventually attracted the famous investigator Nick Groff, lead investigator on the show Paranormal Lockdown. It made for one hell of a show. 

Over the years many haunted houses have tried to call themselves the next Amityvale. Hinsdale House may be just that and more. 

 

 

Haunted House 2 :  The Lizzie Borden Murder House

In 1982, Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe. She was antiquated but it is still widely acknowledged that she committed this crime. 

 

Today the house is a BnB, museum, and kind of shrine to Lizzie Borden. You can actually sleep in the rooms where the murders took place. The current owner, Lee-Anne Williams stated that it is not unusual for guests to flee in the middle of the night. 

The scariest moment she can recall herself was during her first and last night spent at the house. She was awoken at 3 am because of a loud creaking sound coming from the hall just outside the room she was sleeping in. As she went to investigate she saw the chandelier swinging madly from side to side. 

The Chandelier was old, heavy and solid brass, there was no way a breeze was moving this thing an inch. She told the local paper, terrified ” The chandelier was casting shadows all over the room, but one of these shadows was walking up the stairs. That’s when I knew I had a haunted house.

The Borden house is still a fully functional BnB today. A lot of the furniture is original and whatever isn’t is made to look exactly like the original. Meaning this haunted house looks exactly how it did when it played host to one of the most famous murder mysteries in American history. I wonder if this is a factor in why the build is so active…

 

 

 

Haunted House 3 : House of the Seven Gables

Image via – Distracted Wanderer

 

The haunted house on Seven Gable’s road is something of a legend. 

At the end of 7 Gables Road, there’s a creepy old house that was once occupied by a witch. She was chased from the town and lived in exile. So, in turn, she placed a curse on the road, house, and land she lived on. 

A family moved into that house 25 years after her death, naive of the history it came with. It did not take long for the father to begin acting strangely. He began talking to himself and quite often with someone else, despite the fact there was never anyone there. 

His insanity drove him to kill his entire family and then he proceeded to hang them from each of the gables of their home. He then set the house on fire until it burned to the ground.  The house is now a ruin and all who visit have strange experiences.

Some investigators have claimed to have seen the face or head of a little girl whilst others have claimed to have seen the shadow of this little girl running through the trees. Others have been choked by unseen hands. More disturbingly still are the reports of people drowning in the lake on Gables land. More than one… 

Today this haunted house lies a ruin, but that has not stopped the witches curse from taking full effect and haunting this land and all who dare visit. 

 

 

 

Haunted House 4 : The Riddle House

Image via – Pinterest

 

The Riddle House is one of the most mysterious and haunted houses in the US. After appearing on Ghost Adventures in 2008 it has become something of a ghost busting hotspot. This former funeral parlor has a history in mysterious deaths and is so haunted that when they dismantled it to rebuild elsewhere, the ghosts came along for the ride… 

The house itself was originally built in 1905 with cast off parts from the West Beach Hotel. As a result, the house is built up of mainly a cheery yellow, which did not quite suit its nickname, ” The Gravekeepers Cottage”

It was during the houses time in the Woodlawn Cemetary that it saw its first death and history calls this man Buck. He had gotten into a brawl with a man in the cemetery and this man ended up killing him. 

From then on workers claimed to see Buck around the house and cemetery, still working away. 

In 1920, Karl Riddle took the house over, moving himself and his family. Immediately they all began to experience strange occurrences around the house. Karl even kept a journal of these supernatural occurrences around the house. Then in the late 1920’s horror struck the Riddle family. 

One of the cemetery workers, overwhelmed by debt, decided to head up to the attic of the house when the family was out and hang himself. It has been his ghost that has given this haunted house its infamy. There were so many sightings of a Shadowman around the house following this event that many of Riddle’s employee’s quit.

Many families since have tried to live in the house but its haunting always proves too much. The house was recently scheduled for demolition before it was purchased and moved brick by brick to Yesteryear Village to remain as a tourist attraction. It’s ghosts decided to follow. 

During the reconstruction, many of the workers complained of there tools going missing, only for them to turn in the strangest of places. That along with many other violent supernatural happenings such as windows spontaneously smashing, have given Yesteryear village a rather high staff turn-over. 

Today the Riddle house is considered to be the most haunted house in Florida with both residual and intelligent hauntings. Although it’s whatever’s lurking in the attic that is attracting all of the attention. 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 6 : The Myrtles Plantation

Image via – Wikipedia 

 

The Myrtles Plantation is the perfect Southern haunted house. Built in 1796, this plantation has survived the civil war, various owners, and countless deaths. Of course, this house is a plantation and was erected during the slave period, so it would have seen its fair share of barbaric human treatment and torture. But the slaves had their own line of defense and revenge. Voodoo. Traces of which still linger today. 

The Plantation is known to be one of the most haunted houses in all of America. Sightings have occurred across the acres of land and in each of its 28 rooms. 

Guests have reported broken clocks ticking, beds levitating and shaking whilst they are sleeping in them, footsteps that change from slow and light to quick and aggressive. Portraits who’s expressions change, a huge crystal chandelier that would swing without even the slightest breeze, and a mirror is known to make all who look in it, violently ill.

The Plantation is also built upon an ancient Indian burial ground, which is always bad news. The most famous

The most famous ghost within Myrtles Plantation is Charlotte. Charlotte was a slave in the main house who was having an affair with the master. Of course, she fell in love and he swiftly moved onto another slave. So to revenge her pain upon himself, she laced a pie with poison but accidentally killed the master’s two youngest daughters. 

Chloe’s fellow slaves quickly caught the wind of what she had done. Fearing guilt by association, they dragged her from her bed, hung her from a tree on the grounds and discarded her body into the Mississipi River.

There is also a little girl seen around the house. Her identity is a mystery but her presence is disturbing. Some think she is the spirit of the little girl who died here despite the help of a local VooDoo practitioner. However, too many times guests and the owner have heard a chanting coming from the woods, and whenever this chanting is heard the little girl is sure to appear. 

The Mrtyles plantation is truly a Southern haunted house, its acres of land and formerly slave inhabited fields are truly something to behold. Maybe the lingering effects of black magic take away a little of the beauty tho…

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 5 : The Whaley House

Image via – Wikipedia

 

The Whaley House may not look to haunted from the outside but twice by Times Magazine and America’s Most Haunted it has been called America’s most haunted house. 

The land on which the house was built was considered haunted long before Whaley House turned up. The land was used as makeshift gallows in 1852 for a man known as ” Yankee Jim .” According to a few local newspapers, he swung like a pendulum until he was eventually strangled to death. 

Thomas Whaley himself was said to have witnessed the execution first hand but was not deterred from building his family home there. I bet he was not deterred by the massively reduced price either. Not long after they moved in they all began to hear ” The footsteps of a heavy man.” Mr. Whaley concluded it was Yankee Jim.

Then Tragedy struck the family when their youngest infant son, Thomas Whaley Jr succumb to scarlet fever. Then some years later the Whaley’s daughter fell in love and married her prince charming, only to find out he was a con man and that he had made off with half her inheritance. Unable to escape her grief, she shot herself in the chest and left a poem. ‘ Mad from life’s history, swift to death’s mystery, glad to be hurled, anywhere, anywhere, out of this world’. 

Today the Whaley house attracts Ghost Busters from all around the world and even a few celebrities. 

Thomas Whaley himself is most often seen around the house, along with his daughter and dog. Others claim to be have been touch ed or heard a child’s giggle. Most notable is the dark and malicious presence said to roam the house. Could this be Yankee Jim still walking the grounds where he lost his life, or something a lot more sinister? 

 

 

Haunted House 7 : The Dorothea Puente Murder House

Image via – UkTv

 

The Dorothea Puente Murder House is a relatively new haunted house to hit the mainstream media. This house is famous for being the former home of Dorothea Puente aka ‘ The Deathouse Landlady.’ To the whole world, Dorothea was a kindly old woman who loved spoiling her guests with huge lavish meals and all the comforts you would expect at Grandma’s house. However, she also enjoyed drugging the food of her guests and then burying them in the backyard… It’s fair to say a few of these spirits have stayed and they are pissed! It would also seem Dorothea also stayed behind as well as something a whole lot more sinister in nature. 

 

Dorothea Puente – Image via – Imged

 

Dorothea was a life long criminal, although very few would ever expect it. She was first arrested for check fraud in the late 1940’s and again for running a brothel and prostitution in 1980. She was also later picked up for stealing for the elderly whilst pretending to be a nurses aid. 

Crime pays, by the end of the 1980’s Dorothea was living in a 16 room Victorian mansion, the house where she committed these acts and that remains haunted today. 

It is thought that she committed her very first murder here when she drugged her business partner. This death was ruled a suicide despite the fact that Dorothea had recently been arrested for drugging an elderly man and looting his home. Coincidentally, she also received an inheritance check from the man she had just murdered for over $6000.

Puente would carry on her murder spree for years. She had convinced social workers that her home was a place all of their elderly or disabled patients would feel more at home. In reality, she was stealing their possessions, drugging them and burying them in the backyard. 

Dorothea was eventually caught when a detective was chasing up some leads from the disappearance of a schizophrenic man who was staying at Dorothea’s before he went missing. He and his team noticed some freshly dug earth in the back, so they headed round. One of the guys bent over to pull out what he thought was a tree root. When he eventually snapped the root off, falling back into the mud, he vomited. He was holding a mostly decayed leg bone. That was the first of many. 

Dorothea Puente was sentenced to life without parole in California’s state prison, she succumbed to cancer here in 2011 and died.

Today the house serves as a kind of museum to Dorothea and her murderous ways as well as a BnB. A little like the Lizzie Borden House. If has, however, caught the eye of paranormal investigators after a string of strange occurrences. 

Many have claimed to have felt a strange sensation around the house of extreme weakness and lethargic. Which is the exact effect of the drug Dorothea used to poison her guests? The current owner who sleeps in a basement room tells she is tortured by the spirit of Dorothea. Once waking up to Dorothea standing at the bottom her bed, looking down on her with a large smile. 

Many others have told of a dark and overwhelming atmosphere around the house in the late evenings, whilst others complain of the smell of rotting flesh. Whatever is still in that house, there seems to be more than one, as well as Puente herself still drugging people from the other side. Bad enough… Just ask the owner, Dorothea is not the only evil lurking in the shadows here. 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 8 : Amityville Horror House

Image via – Screenrant

 

November 13, 1974, was the day the quaint little town of Amityville and the world would remember forever. On that night the police discovered the 6 murdered bodies of the Defoe family. All face down with no signs of struggle or intoxication. 

Ronald Defoe, the oldest son was charged with murder and ordered to serve 6 consecutive life sentences. To this day the world is baffled as to how no one in this upscale community heard the unsilenced shot from a 35-marlin rifle ( a very loud hunting rifle ), or just why the Defoe family consented to murder…

The Lutz family moved into the home in December, 8 years after the murder. They purchased the house for an incredibly low $80,000. They thought they had purchased their part of the American dream. Nobody expected them to pack up and leave just 28 days later. 

The family were religious and had knowledge of the murders that had taken place here, so they hired a priest to bless the house. After venturing into the master bedroom to complete his blessing. He ran down ashen faced, warned the family to never sleep in that room and left. The Lutz’s were plagued with activity from that moment forward. They soon began to experience drastic mood changes and would argue over the smallest things. 

Soon after the youngest daughter, Lucy was spending all of her time in her room playing with her new imaginary friend. She described him as a pig with red eyes who could not only change his form but also grow to be even bigger than the house.

The haunting got worse. For no apparent blood stains began to appear around the house, George ( the father ) would wake up every night in terror at 3:15, this was coincidentally the same time the original murders were committed. Mrs. Lutz was also dragged from her bed whilst sleeping more than once. The Lutz’s now knew they had purchased a very cheap but horribly haunted house. 

They tried to call the priest numerous times but the phone would always cut out. Armed with a cross and a bible, George took it up on himself to exercise the house, chanting verses from the bible. In response the house seemed to sing back ” Will you stop !?” This was so disturbing because the responding voices sounded like a choir of young boys. You can imagine how horrific that must have been. Then George and his eldest son both saw a huge pig with red eyes glaring down at them from the top window. 

The last night was the worst with bangs so loud they sounded like a marching band, furniture moving itself across the room and the children being terrorized. It took 28 days for the Lutz’s to move out. They never looked back

Enter the Warrens.

They investigated for days and claimed the presence in the home was Demonic in nature. They also captured on the of the most paranormal photos of all time. 

Believing it be the ghost of the youngest Defoe, John. It does look exactly like him.

After much painstaking research, investigators discovered that the land on which the house was built belonged to a man called John Ketchum. Who was arrested for practicing black magic? Turns out also buried directly under the plot for the Amityville house. 

They also discovered that the Shinnock Indians used the land to house the sick and mad, eventually leaving them to die here. 

If all of this is not a recipe for a haunted house I don’t know what is. Amityvale will always be the most famous haunted house in American history. A lot today claim it a hoax, but aren’t the best paranormal cases called just that? 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 9 : The Winchester Mystery House

Image via – Did you know

The tale of the Winchester Mystery House begins on September 30th, 1862, When a woman called Sarah Lockwood Pardee married William Wirt Winchester. Son of the man who invented the Winchester repeating rifle or ‘ The Gun that won the West ‘. 

The newly wedded Winchesters seemed to be living the dream. Socializing in some of New England’s wealthiest circles. Their first daughter came along in the summer of 1886. Life was perfect. Then there days darkened. Annie their only daughtered died. Shortly followed by Winchester senior and eventually Mr. Winchestor himself. Sarah was left alone and broken. 

In her desperation, she contacted a medium who informed her she was cursed. Haunted by the countless Native American and Civil War soldiers that had fallen victim to the Winchester Rifle, and that the only would to stop the curse would be to head west and build a monstrous mansion. 

So Sarah did just that, she bought acres of farm land and began building immediately, rotating teams of builders around the clock. 

The Winchester Repeater – Image via – History Collection

Official blueprints were never printed. Instead, Mrs. Winchester would spend hours each night in her seance room receiving orders from the spirits and in-turn gives these orders to the architects. 

Stairs were built that led to nowhere, doors opened onto brick walls, dead end hallways, or fatal three story drops. Eventually, the manor became a sprawling seven story estate. Construction lasted 38 years. The Mansion contains 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 1chimneysys, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 2 basements, and three elevators. 

Then, on the morning of September 5th, 1922, Sarah Winchester was found dead in one of her many rooms. The workers heard this news, dropped their tools and left immediately. This means that today parts of the house remain in a half finished state. 

Image via – Bay City

Over the years many hidden or sealed of rooms have been found. Most recently an old bricked off room containing some of Sarah’s possessions. It is thought she thought these rooms cursed. 

The house today is also very well known for its hauntings, some have even gone as far to call it America’s Most Haunted House.  ( I know, another one ). 

Throughout the house, apparitions are seen of former handymen pushing their wheelbarrows, Sarah herself, or stranger still, what looks like Native Americans. Visitors have reported being pushed, tapped, bitten, or scratched. Whilst others hear wailing or a singing coming from inside the walls. 

We can not doubt a house such as this would be haunted. Some would even claim an infestation of inhuman spirits. Just what exactly was Sarah talking to when she has locked away all those hours alone? Were her intentions as pure as she claims? Whatever the case, the Winchester Mystery House is one hell of a haunted house.

The Villisca Axe Murder is one of the America’s most haunting murder cases that has remain unvolved for over 100 years. This case saw an entire family killed with an axe whilst they slept in their own beds. The culprit was never caught and today there is a frenzy of paranormal activity in the home. Easily enough to rank it amongst America’s 10 most haunted houses. 

Villisca is a small village in the heart of Nebraska. Nothing major ever happened here until the night of June 9th, 1912, when the hacked corpses of Joe and Sarah Monroe were discovered, as well as the bodies of their 4 children and 2 of their friends who were spending the night.

There have been many families living here since the time of the murders, none of which lasted more than a few months. With horrific paranormal activity affecting each one. Today the house is used as a tourist spot. It’s been attracting plenty of those and even more Paranormal Investigators. 

The house has even been remade to look exactly how it did, the night of the murders.

The ghosts of all the children are seen and heard around the house, as well as that of what some think is a man. Could just be the children’s father, but this house feels way too hostile for it just to be a family man. Evps are constantly captured of the children giggling and playing amongst themselves. Some come out as screams or threats from a deep male voice. 

More recently one ghost buster stabbed himself in the house whilst spending the night there. He survived but claims to have no memory of the incident whatsoever. He was in critical condition for a long time. 

The Villisca Axe Murder House is one of the most active in America, with former residents telling tales of violent poltergeist activity, ghostly children playing around the house, and something darker. Let’s just hope these children are not trapped by a dark presence who seems to have taken residence in this haunted house. 

The Haunted House, this term has been fuelling our imaginations for hundreds of years. As children, we dare each other to go in, as adults, we laugh at the thought of something being haunted. But what happens if whilst we are laughing, we see someone walking through our front room in a long white dress…

In this article, we can look closely at the ten most haunted houses in America. Some of these haunted houses have a history in murder, others in violence, others with demonic activity. Not nice places to live.

 

 

Haunted House 1 : The Hinsdale House

Often called this generations Amityville, Hinsdale house is known as one of the most haunted houses in America. The haunting itself began in the early 1970’s when they Dandy thought they had purchased their small part of the American Dream. The truth, however, was not so dreamy. 

After just a few days in their new home, the family began to receive mysterious phone calls, where the phone would ring and they would only hear a heavy breathing. Then the poltergeist activity began, with beds being moved as family members slept in them and furniture being dragged across the room. Sometimes the family would even hear chanting coming from the woods at the other end of there field. 

The activity got worse and the family began to live in fear. The apparition of a white woman would be seen floating around the house, as well as bizarre human-animal hybrids, they believed this to be a demonic presence. One one occasion Mr. Dandy saw a group of men and women looking directly at him from the outside, through the window. He ran out to investigate, only to find the same faces staring back at him, only now on the other side of the window…

Mr. Dandy now knew he had moved his family into a dangerously haunted house, so he called in an exorcist. A Father Alphonsus from the St. Bonaventure University. The Exorcism failed miserably and the Dandy family were forced to move. 

Today this most haunted of houses have fallen into the hands of a paranormal investigator for maintenance and research purposes. Hinsdale eventually attracted the famous investigator Nick Groff, lead investigator on the show Paranormal Lockdown. It made for one hell of a show. 

Over the years many haunted houses have tried to call themselves the next Amityvale. Hinsdale House may be just that and more. 

 

 

Haunted House 2 :  The Lizzie Borden Murder House

In 1982, Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe. She was antiquated but it is still widely acknowledged that she committed this crime. 

 

Today the house is a BnB, museum, and kind of shrine to Lizzie Borden. You can actually sleep in the rooms where the murders took place. The current owner, Lee-Anne Williams stated that it is not unusual for guests to flee in the middle of the night. 

The scariest moment she can recall herself was during her first and last night spent at the house. She was awoken at 3 am because of a loud creaking sound coming from the hall just outside the room she was sleeping in. As she went to investigate she saw the chandelier swinging madly from side to side. 

The Chandelier was old, heavy and solid brass, there was no way a breeze was moving this thing an inch. She told the local paper, terrified ” The chandelier was casting shadows all over the room, but one of these shadows was walking up the stairs. That’s when I knew I had a haunted house.

The Borden house is still a fully functional BnB today. A lot of the furniture is original and whatever isn’t is made to look exactly like the original. Meaning this haunted house looks exactly how it did when it played host to one of the most famous murder mysteries in American history. I wonder if this is a factor in why the build is so active…

 

 

 

Haunted House 3 : House of the Seven Gables

The haunted house on Seven Gable’s road is something of a legend. 

At the end of 7 Gables Road, there’s a creepy old house that was once occupied by a witch. She was chased from the town and lived in exile. So, in turn, she placed a curse on the road, house, and land she lived on. 

A family moved into that house 25 years after her death, naive of the history it came with. It did not take long for the father to begin acting strangely. He began talking to himself and quite often with someone else, despite the fact there was never anyone there. 

His insanity drove him to kill his entire family and then he proceeded to hang them from each of the gables of their home. He then set the house on fire until it burned to the ground.  The house is now a ruin and all who visit have strange experiences.

Some investigators have claimed to have seen the face or head of a little girl whilst others have claimed to have seen the shadow of this little girl running through the trees. Others have been choked by unseen hands. More disturbingly still are the reports of people drowning in the lake on Gables land. More than one… 

Today this haunted house lies a ruin, but that has not stopped the witches curse from taking full effect and haunting this land and all who dare visit. 

 

 

 

Haunted House 4 : The Riddle House

The Riddle House is one of the most mysterious and haunted houses in the US. After appearing on Ghost Adventures in 2008 it has become something of a ghost busting hotspot. This former funeral parlor has a history in mysterious deaths and is so haunted that when they dismantled it to rebuild elsewhere, the ghosts came along for the ride… 

The house itself was originally built in 1905 with cast off parts from the West Beach Hotel. As a result, the house is built up of mainly a cheery yellow, which did not quite suit its nickname, ” The Gravekeepers Cottage”

It was during the houses time in the Woodlawn Cemetary that it saw its first death and history calls this man Buck. He had gotten into a brawl with a man in the cemetery and this man ended up killing him. 

From then on workers claimed to see Buck around the house and cemetery, still working away. 

In 1920, Karl Riddle took the house over, moving himself and his family. Immediately they all began to experience strange occurrences around the house. Karl even kept a journal of these supernatural occurrences around the house. Then in the late 1920’s horror struck the Riddle family. 

One of the cemetery workers, overwhelmed by debt, decided to head up to the attic of the house when the family was out and hang himself. It has been his ghost that has given this haunted house its infamy. There were so many sightings of a Shadowman around the house following this event that many of Riddle’s employee’s quit.

Many families since have tried to live in the house but its haunting always proves too much. The house was recently scheduled for demolition before it was purchased and moved brick by brick to Yesteryear Village to remain as a tourist attraction. It’s ghosts decided to follow. 

During the reconstruction, many of the workers complained of there tools going missing, only for them to turn in the strangest of places. That along with many other violent supernatural happenings such as windows spontaneously smashing, have given Yesteryear village a rather high staff turn-over. 

Today the Riddle house is considered to be the most haunted house in Florida with both residual and intelligent hauntings. Although it’s whatever’s lurking in the attic that is attracting all of the attention. 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 5 : The Whaley House

Image via – Wikipedia

 

The Whaley House may not look to haunted from the outside but twice by Times Magazine and America’s Most Haunted it has been called America’s most haunted house. 

The land on which the house was built was considered haunted long before Whaley House turned up. The land was used as makeshift gallows in 1852 for a man known as ” Yankee Jim .” According to a few local newspapers, he swung like a pendulum until he was eventually strangled to death. 

Thomas Whaley himself was said to have witnessed the execution first hand but was not deterred from building his family home there. I bet he was not deterred by the massively reduced price either. Not long after they moved in they all began to hear ” The footsteps of a heavy man.” Mr. Whaley concluded it was Yankee Jim.

Then Tragedy struck the family when their youngest infant son, Thomas Whaley Jr succumb to scarlet fever. Then some years later the Whaley’s daughter fell in love and married her prince charming, only to find out he was a con man and that he had made off with half her inheritance. Unable to escape her grief, she shot herself in the chest and left a poem. ‘ Mad from life’s history, swift to death’s mystery, glad to be hurled, anywhere, anywhere, out of this world’. 

Today the Whaley house attracts Ghost Busters from all around the world and even a few celebrities. 

Thomas Whaley himself is most often seen around the house, along with his daughter and dog. Others claim to be have been touch ed or heard a child’s giggle. Most notable is the dark and malicious presence said to roam the house. Could this be Yankee Jim still walking the grounds where he lost his life, or something a lot more sinister? 

 

 

Haunted House 6 : The Myrtles Plantation

Image via – Wikipedia 

 

The Myrtles Plantation is the perfect Southern haunted house. Built in 1796, this plantation has survived the civil war, various owners, and countless deaths. Of course, this house is a plantation and was erected during the slave period, so it would have seen its fair share of barbaric human treatment and torture. But the slaves had their own line of defense and revenge. Voodoo. Traces of which still linger today. 

The Plantation is known to be one of the most haunted houses in all of America. Sightings have occurred across the acres of land and in each of its 28 rooms. 

Guests have reported broken clocks ticking, beds levitating and shaking whilst they are sleeping in them, footsteps that change from slow and light to quick and aggressive. Portraits who’s expressions change, a huge crystal chandelier that would swing without even the slightest breeze, and a mirror is known to make all who look in it, violently ill.

The Plantation is also built upon an ancient Indian burial ground, which is always bad news. The most famous

The most famous ghost within Myrtles Plantation is Charlotte. Charlotte was a slave in the main house who was having an affair with the master. Of course, she fell in love and he swiftly moved onto another slave. So to revenge her pain upon himself, she laced a pie with poison but accidentally killed the master’s two youngest daughters. 

Chloe’s fellow slaves quickly caught the wind of what she had done. Fearing guilt by association, they dragged her from her bed, hung her from a tree on the grounds and discarded her body into the Mississipi River.

There is also a little girl seen around the house. Her identity is a mystery but her presence is disturbing. Some think she is the spirit of the little girl who died here despite the help of a local VooDoo practitioner. However, too many times guests and the owner have heard a chanting coming from the woods, and whenever this chanting is heard the little girl is sure to appear. 

The Mrtyles plantation is truly a Southern haunted house, its acres of land and formerly slave inhabited fields are truly something to behold. Maybe the lingering effects of black magic take away a little of the beauty tho…

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 7 : The Dorothea Puente Murder House

Image via – UkTv

 

The Dorothea Puente Murder House is a relatively new haunted house to hit the mainstream media. This house is famous for being the former home of Dorothea Puente aka ‘ The Deathouse Landlady.’ To the whole world, Dorothea was a kindly old woman who loved spoiling her guests with huge lavish meals and all the comforts you would expect at Grandma’s house. However, she also enjoyed drugging the food of her guests and then burying them in the backyard… It’s fair to say a few of these spirits have stayed and they are pissed! It would also seem Dorothea also stayed behind as well as something a whole lot more sinister in nature.

Dorothea was a life long criminal, although very few would ever expect it. She was first arrested for check fraud in the late 1940’s and again for running a brothel and prostitution in 1980. She was also later picked up for stealing for the elderly whilst pretending to be a nurses aid. 

Crime pays, by the end of the 1980’s Dorothea was living in a 16 room Victorian mansion, the house where she committed these acts and that remains haunted today. 

It is thought that she committed her very first murder here when she drugged her business partner. This death was ruled a suicide despite the fact that Dorothea had recently been arrested for drugging an elderly man and looting his home. Coincidentally, she also received an inheritance check from the man she had just murdered for over $6000.

Puente would carry on her murder spree for years. She had convinced social workers that her home was a place all of their elderly or disabled patients would feel more at home. In reality, she was stealing their possessions, drugging them and burying them in the backyard. 

Dorothea was eventually caught when a detective was chasing up some leads from the disappearance of a schizophrenic man who was staying at Dorothea’s before he went missing. He and his team noticed some freshly dug earth in the back, so they headed round. One of the guys bent over to pull out what he thought was a tree root. When he eventually snapped the root off, falling back into the mud, he vomited. He was holding a mostly decayed leg bone. That was the first of many. 

Dorothea Puente was sentenced to life without parole in California’s state prison, she succumbed to cancer here in 2011 and died.

Today the house serves as a kind of museum to Dorothea and her murderous ways as well as a BnB. A little like the Lizzie Borden House. If has, however, caught the eye of paranormal investigators after a string of strange occurrences. 

Many have claimed to have felt a strange sensation around the house of extreme weakness and lethargic. Which is the exact effect of the drug Dorothea used to poison her guests? The current owner who sleeps in a basement room tells she is tortured by the spirit of Dorothea. Once waking up to Dorothea standing at the bottom her bed, looking down on her with a large smile. 

Many others have told of a dark and overwhelming atmosphere around the house in the late evenings, whilst others complain of the smell of rotting flesh. Whatever is still in that house, there seems to be more than one, as well as Puente herself still drugging people from the other side. Bad enough… Just ask the owner, Dorothea is not the only evil lurking in the shadows here. 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 8 : Amityville Horror House

Image via – Screenrant

 

November 13, 1974, was the day the quaint little town of Amityville and the world would remember forever. On that night the police discovered the 6 murdered bodies of the Defoe family. All face down with no signs of struggle or intoxication. 

Ronald Defoe, the oldest son was charged with murder and ordered to serve 6 consecutive life sentences. To this day the world is baffled as to how no one in this upscale community heard the unsilenced shot from a 35-marlin rifle ( a very loud hunting rifle ), or just why the Defoe family consented to murder…

The Lutz family moved into the home in December, 8 years after the murder. They purchased the house for an incredibly low $80,000. They thought they had purchased their part of the American dream. Nobody expected them to pack up and leave just 28 days later. 

The family were religious and had knowledge of the murders that had taken place here, so they hired a priest to bless the house. After venturing into the master bedroom to complete his blessing. He ran down ashen faced, warned the family to never sleep in that room and left. The Lutz’s were plagued with activity from that moment forward. They soon began to experience drastic mood changes and would argue over the smallest things. 

Soon after the youngest daughter, Lucy was spending all of her time in her room playing with her new imaginary friend. She described him as a pig with red eyes who could not only change his form but also grow to be even bigger than the house.

The haunting got worse. For no apparent blood stains began to appear around the house, George ( the father ) would wake up every night in terror at 3:15, this was coincidentally the same time the original murders were committed. Mrs. Lutz was also dragged from her bed whilst sleeping more than once. The Lutz’s now knew they had purchased a very cheap but horribly haunted house. 

They tried to call the priest numerous times but the phone would always cut out. Armed with a cross and a bible, George took it up on himself to exercise the house, chanting verses from the bible. In response the house seemed to sing back ” Will you stop !?” This was so disturbing because the responding voices sounded like a choir of young boys. You can imagine how horrific that must have been. Then George and his eldest son both saw a huge pig with red eyes glaring down at them from the top window. 

The last night was the worst with bangs so loud they sounded like a marching band, furniture moving itself across the room and the children being terrorized. It took 28 days for the Lutz’s to move out. They never looked back

Enter the Warrens.

They investigated for days and claimed the presence in the home was Demonic in nature. They also captured on the of the most paranormal photos of all time. 

Believing it be the ghost of the youngest Defoe, John. It does look exactly like him.

The Famous Picture – Image via – Unimaginable

After much painstaking research, investigators discovered that the land on which the house was built belonged to a man called John Ketchum. Who was arrested for practicing black magic? Turns out also buried directly under the plot for the Amityville house. 

They also discovered that the Shinnock Indians used the land to house the sick and mad, eventually leaving them to die here. 

If all of this is not a recipe for a haunted house I don’t know what is. Amityvale will always be the most famous haunted house in American history. A lot today claim it a hoax, but aren’t the best paranormal cases called just that? 

 

 

 

 

Haunted House 9 : The Winchester Mystery House

Image via – Did you know

The tale of the Winchester Mystery House begins on September 30th, 1862, When a woman called Sarah Lockwood Pardee married William Wirt Winchester. Son of the man who invented the Winchester repeating rifle or ‘ The Gun that won the West ‘. 

The newly wedded Winchesters seemed to be living the dream. Socializing in some of New England’s wealthiest circles. Their first daughter came along in the summer of 1886. Life was perfect. Then there days darkened. Annie their only daughtered died. Shortly followed by Winchester senior and eventually Mr. Winchestor himself. Sarah was left alone and broken. 

In her desperation, she contacted a medium who informed her she was cursed. Haunted by the countless Native American and Civil War soldiers that had fallen victim to the Winchester Rifle, and that the only would to stop the curse would be to head west and build a monstrous mansion. 

So Sarah did just that, she bought acres of farm land and began building immediately, rotating teams of builders around the clock. 

The Winchester Repeater – Image via – History Collection

Official blueprints were never printed. Instead, Mrs. Winchester would spend hours each night in her seance room receiving orders from the spirits and in-turn gives these orders to the architects. 

Stairs were built that led to nowhere, doors opened onto brick walls, dead end hallways, or fatal three story drops. Eventually, the manor became a sprawling seven story estate. Construction lasted 38 years. The Mansion contains 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 1chimneysys, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 2 basements, and three elevators. 

Then, on the morning of September 5th, 1922, Sarah Winchester was found dead in one of her many rooms. The workers heard this news, dropped their tools and left immediately. This means that today parts of the house remain in a half finished state. 

Image via – Bay City

Over the years many hidden or sealed of rooms have been found. Most recently an old bricked off room containing some of Sarah’s possessions. It is thought she thought these rooms cursed. 

The house today is also very well known for its hauntings, some have even gone as far to call it America’s Most Haunted House.  ( I know, another one ). 

Throughout the house, apparitions are seen of former handymen pushing their wheelbarrows, Sarah herself, or stranger still, what looks like Native Americans. Visitors have reported being pushed, tapped, bitten, or scratched. Whilst others hear wailing or a singing coming from inside the walls. 

We can not doubt a house such as this would be haunted. Some would even claim an infestation of inhuman spirits. Just what exactly was Sarah talking to when she has locked away all those hours alone? Were her intentions as pure as she claims? Whatever the case, the Winchester Mystery House is one hell of a haunted house.

A House Like No Other : No.81 Chaonei

In a rather modernized corner of China sits an old manor house in ruin, Chaonei No.81. The old mansion sits in the Dongcheng district of Bejing and has been empty for almost 50 years. 50 years and no-one dare knock it down? Ask the locals, they’ll tell you the house is not a possession for the living and whoever knocks it down will have to bare its terrible curse. 

Image via Pinterest

This story begins in 1949 after a highly ranked government official fled his home to Taiwan for safety after losing the civil war. He left his wife behind to fend for herself but rather than face the angry mobs and the horrors they would bestow upon her, she hung herself. Hers is the ghost that haunts Chaonei No.81, but that’s not all lingers in this old manor house. 

True the historians were never able to validate this story as all of the records from this era were destroyed following the war. However local history sticks for a long time.

No. 81 lives up to its reputation as China’s most haunted house. The neighbors claim to hear deafening wails coming from the house in the dead of night. Especially during thunderstorms when these shrieks are somehow even louder than the thunder itself. 

Any haunted house is bad enough, normally plagued by a past of death and despair. This house, however, has a disturbing past in disappearances. In the very beginning, it was to be a church built for a renowned English missionary. He went missing just before the construction was completed. 

Investigators later discovered a secret crypt underneath the foundations of the house, at the end of the crypt, hidden, was the entrance to a tunnel that weaved through the darkness and ended up in the Dashanzi neighborhood to the northeast. Knowledge came to light that the church was to be used as safe haven for orphan children. Although it has never been proven, you can only guess what the purpose of these tunnels could have been. 

Image via – Occult Museum

Shortly after its construction, the Red Guards took the chapel, they left it as quickly as they commandeered it, thanks to the inexplicable phenomena inside. The curse was too much. 

A Mr. Li Yongja told the New York Times ” Even in the 1970’s, people thought the house was haunted, as children, we would play hide and seek in the house, but we didn’t dare enter alone.”

in 2001 a group of construction workers working on the basement of the house next door thought it would be funny to break through the thin wall into the basement of No. 81. Legend tells us they were never seen again. 

There are not many stories online of people actually being inside of the house. When passing the house many claim to be overwhelmed with a sense of dread. The house is also said to be icy cold even in the hottest summer months. 

” No ghosts here” sign in the entrance of No 81 Chaonei – The Line-Up

No. 81 Chaonei is currently up for sale, but it’s not an easy sell with the renovation alone costing $1.5 million dollars. Its reputation and history dont help either. The current owner is so tired of trying to get rid of this house that he chalked ” 这里没有鬼 ” or ” No Ghosts Here ” on the entrance to the house. 

The house is covered in Graffiti telling visitors otherwise and that all who dare enter will have a tough time leaving. There are rumors that the house was recently exercised and now the ghosts are gone. But the only way to know is to check it out for yourself. If you dare. 

 
 
Sleep Tight : 7 Hotel Rooms You Wouldn’t Want To Stay In

We’ve all seen The Shining at least once and if you haven’t watch it! There is nothing worse than being woken up in the middle of the night by children giggling or a floating dude at the end of your bed. Well, here’s some hotels where you can pay to do just that. 

 

Room 217. The Stanley Hotel, Colorado.

Image via the Denver City Page

Speaking of The Shining, why not start with the very hotel that inspired Stephen King to write the story that rocked the world. The Stanley is considered one of the world’s most haunted hotels. It first opened its doors in 1909 and its reputation continued to grow until it caught the attention of Mr King who spend a night there. A night turned into a few months and what he experienced during his time in room 217 changed him forever. 

On June 1911 a monstrous thunderstorm cut all of the power throughout the hotel. Chambermaids were then required to go up to each room and light them with candles whilst the guests waited down in the lobby in their dressing gowns with a hot cocoa in hand. A Miss Elizabeth Wilson was tasked with giving light back to room 217, little did they know there was a gas leak in there. The blast took out the entire east wing… It is thought the women seen moving around in room 217 is Elizabeth herself. Some guests have even reported waking up to find their bed sheets stolen from under them and neatly folded at the base of their beds. Stephen King never fully disclosed what he experienced during his stay, but you can imagine. 

 

Room 333. The Langham, London

The Langham Hotel, England’s first ” Grand Hotel ” was built in the style of a Florentine palace in 1865. To this day it still attracts hundreds of the world’s wealthiest men and women. However, floor 3 lies silent and room 333, empty. 

There are a great many ghost stories at the Langham hotel, even Emporer Napolean II is said to roam the halls, reliving his last days of exile. However, the history of room 333 is a little darker. The first instance was that of a doctor staying in room 333 going mad and killing his wife then himself. Another thought to haunt the room is a German Prince who jumped out of the window from the floor above. The room is said to have a dark and oppressive atmosphere, more than once guests have fled after waking in the dead of night because of an old man has shaken them awake…. 

 

Room 324. Toftaholm Herrgard, Sweeden.

This 14th-century manor house on the banks of Lake Vidostern in southern Sweeden is iconic. However, guests have reported countless unexplained incidents, from strange noises to windows and doors opening and closing themselves. 

The hotel is known for being haunted by a young farmer’s son who fell in love with the Baron’s daughter who owned the house. She was soon after forced into an arranged marriage to a wealthy young spice merchant. The boy was found hanging in room 324 on the morning of her wedding. Guests have reported what sounds like gasps for air and the thrashings of a dying man. 

 

Cabin B340. The Queen Mary, Long Beach. 

Image via the RMS Titanic

The once proud ocean liner, the Queen Mary sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 – 1967. During WWII she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers for the entire war period. She was finally retired from service in 1967 and permanently docked in Long Beach Harbour. There were over 49 recorded deaths onboard during her time and the Queen Mary is widely acknowledged as the most haunted ship in the world. Despite just how haunted this ship is there is one room onboard even they try to keep secret. 

Cabin B340 was the site of one of many murders committed onboard. One lunatic man was held captive here as punishment for fighting on the main deck. When his daughter and wife came to collect him from the ship, he killed them both in a state of delusion. So many guests have requested to be moved from this room to another, due to the sheer amount of vicious poltergeist attacks that the room had to be sealed and the room number was taken down. They refuse to let guests stay in there at any time. Some reported hearing a man telling them to ” Get Out “,  whilst others have been terrified by the lights flicking on and off or the water turning its self on then off. Others had the bed sheets ripped from under them whilst they slept. Whatever is in there, it’s not friendly.

The Hotel Coronado in California is nothing short of Mammoth. It was built in the late 1800’s for just $110,000 and boasted 750 rooms with a dining room that could seat over 1000. So yeah it’s big. But nowadays it is more famous for its longest inhabitant ” The Beautiful Stranger ” and her story begins in room 302. 

In November of 1892, a beautiful young and well-educated women checked in at the front desk under the name of ” Miss Lottie A Bernard “, she was given the keys to the room 302. She appeared ill and depressed but refused to see the in-house doctor, insisting that her brother was a fine physician and would be along shortly. Days passed and she had not been able to pay her bill, when confronted she told the manager to call her accountant in Hamberg as he handled all of her finances. On November 4th she left her room and records showed her buying a handgun in the local town. After a strange and unexpected stormy night, the lifeless body of Miss Lottie Bernard was found on the beach with a single bullet wound to her head. There was a strange sequence of events that followed this, such as, the police not being able to find any document of identification on her body, stranger still is that it has been a thunderstorm which means heavy rain but her body was bone dry. For more information on this case check out The Occult Museum. 

Room 302 has since had its number changed countless times due to the strange activity within and to discourage ghost busters. A beautiful stranger is frequently seen around the building, wandering the hall in her elegant Victorian dress and then vanishing at the blink of an eye. 

 

Room 8. The Russel Hotel, Sydney.

The Russel Hotel is known for having Australia’s most haunted hotel room, room 8. The Russel is located in the Rocks, which today is high-end commercial area but years ago it was a slum and the Russel was all too familiar with crime. The Hotel was a kind of safe haven for all of the criminals in the city. During the 19th century, the Rocks were home to one of Australia’s most notorious gangs called ” The Rock’s Push ” and the Russel was there hang out. The gang was constantly fighting with other gangs as well as robbing or assaulting policemen and citizens. The females of this gang would lure drunken sailors who were docking for the night at the local port, down into dark alleyways and then they would then be robbed and often killed by the male members of the gang who were waiting in the shadows. Then in the, 1900’s, there was a break out of bubonic plague and the Russel was transformed into a make-shift hosptial. 

The Russel has a dark and brutal history with some hauntings to match. There is a lot of activity around the entire hotel, with most believing it to be the ghosts of all the angry sailors who were murdered and are pretty much pissed at how they met their end. One old seaman, however, is said to make room 8 his domain. He is normally seen standing, silent and staring into the eyes of whoever is trying to sleep in his room. 

 

Room 14. The Cecil Hotel, LA

The Cecil Hotel was a live-in hotel in one of LA’s biggest slum areas. In its time it attracted some of modern history’s most evil and grotesque men. Only 4 years ago one of the biggest mysteries of our time, took place in the Cecil Hotel. The disappearance of Eliza Lam. All you have to do is google her name and you’ll find the video of her hiding in the elevator peering round the corner, this all happened moments before her disappearance. Her body was not discovered until the hotel guests complained of the water in their rooms having a strange taste, her corpse was later found in the hotel’s water tank. The Cecil’s past is so fucked up that it was the inspiration behind American Horror Story season 5, they loved it so much they filmed the entire season inside. 

Richard Ramirez aka ” The Night Stalker ” was the Cecil’s most infamous resident. In 1984 he was convicted of 13 counts of murder, 5 continues of attempted murder, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 burglaries. He was well known to have an interest in Satanism from a young age and after his conviction, he yelled out ” Hail Satan ” for all to hear. Room 14 was the Nightstalker’s domain. Very few accounts of people staying in that room can be found online, but when they do, they describe a sense of unnatural fear and random smells of rotten eggs. Some staying there even claim to have seen Ramirez himself.  

Bad Luck of the Irish : 4 of Ireland’s Most Haunted Locations

Ireland has an insanely rich history and is notably one of the most beautiful places in the world. However, it was plagued by war, murder, disease, satanic rituals, and druidic activities for thousands of years. Needless to say, these historic events have left their marks, in some locations more than others… Here’s 4 of Ireland’s most haunted locations.

 

Leap Castle

Leap Castle has been around since the 15th century and since then it has seen bloody family feuds, satanic worship, and pure, brutal murder. This is enough for any location to be haunted but when you add into the equation that this place was also built on land that was sacred to ancient Celtic Druids it gets a little more interesting. The Druids were said to have summoned up an Ele.Men.Tal to protect the surrounding lands.It as been seen in the form of a skeletal man walking around within and outside of the castle. This is easily one of Ireland’s most haunted locations

The skeletal man is mainly seen in castle’s Bloody Chapel which is named as the heart of all the dark activity within Leap Castle. In the centre of the bloody chapel, there is a massive hole in the ground where countless people were thrown onto to spikes to be impaled and to be forgotten, eventually the victim would only land on bones. Called the Oubliette wich in French means ” to be forgotten ” this hole seems to have fully served its purpose. It was cleared a few hundred years later, it took 3 horse drawn carriages to empty the human remains…

 

Baleybolley Forest

BalleyBoley is renowned for being one of the most haunted forests in the world. It has been the centre of Irish Folklore and legend that the locals refuse point blank to go near it. During the 15th-17th century, countless locals went missing from around and within the forest. Afterwards, they would find absolutely no trace of them. However, locals report to terrified women screaming and towering pillars and white smoke rising from somewhere near the centre of the wood. For 500 years white columns of smoke are still seen rising from the centre, and the woman’s screams still heard from within this haunted Irish wood.

Back in 2013 two young guys decided to go wandering into the forest ignorant of its history. It wasn’t long until they heard women screaming. So they ran in deeper until they came to a small stone altar and all of a sudden the ear-splitting scream of a women sounded from directly behind them. Needless to say, they ran like hell. However, one guy turned around and saw four figures dressed in long white, blood smeared robes. Hoods up and faces hid in shadow, just standing and watching them run. The figures were also surrounded by trees all covered with blood. 

 

 

Montpellier Hill

Originally a hunting lodge built by an Irish nobleman in 1725, it should have been a grand site. Unfortunately, Lord William Connolley decided to build his lodge on an ancient cairn. If that wasn’t bad enough he thought it would be cost effective to use the stones of the cairn to build his new holiday home. Every single stone used in the construction was once part of an ancient tomb for fallen Irish warriors. This act has evidently pissed something off. 

William Connolly mysteriously died a few years later & the Montpellier Lodge became home to an infamous satanic cult, The Hellfire Club. The Hellfire Club was a group of High-born men and women known for indulging in sacrifice and mass sexual gatherings. They were also famed for drinking the blood of the animals and people they killed. Still, today evidence of more recent satanic activities can be found. All of these acts have left a dark and oppressive atmosphere, as well as something a little more sinister. 

 

The Steward’s House

Image Via – all that’s interesting

Constantly dudded as one of Ireland’s most haunted locations. Just Across the road from Mont Pellier Lodge sits the Steward’s House & Stables. Built and lived in by Mathew Connolly and his family, the same man who built the lodge. It was said to also play host to the Hellfire Club and their dark atrocities. In the 1970’s the property was purchased by a Miss O’Brien. She had only spent two nights in her new home before she had been terrified by her dogs making strange howling sounds as if they were terrified. She went downstairs to investigate and found her home destroyed but with no signs

She went downstairs to investigate and found her home destroyed but with no signs of intrusion. During the refurbishments builders constantly quit due to disturbing events, they also found the remains of a dwarf that looked to have had his skull caved in. Some weeks later, Tom O’Massy turned and saw a small deformed man standing three foot tall. He stared at the artist and his assistant before turning into a huge black cat with gleaming red eyes. Needless to say, they ran. That was not the first time this monstrous cat has been seen, it is known as the Killkiky cat and it prowls the halls of Steward’s house day and night. Never turn its portrait upside down. 

A New Haunting : Ted Bundy’s Childhood Home

I’m sure everyone has heard the name Ted Bundy at least once, He was one of America’s all time most infamous serial killers. Nobody ever gave any thought to the fact he might have just hung around after the execution. A contractor recently took on the task of renovating Ted’s childhood home. That is one venture he is already regretting.

 

Remodeling The Madness

It has been a long time since the Bundy family moved their home in Washington State. However, something seems to have stayed in there place. That is what Casey Clapton would claim, whilst he was remodelling the childhood house of Mr. Bundy. 

Shortly following the beginning of the revamp strange things started to occur. He first noticed there was something wrong here when his daughter became uneasy when inside. ” She would cry and refuse to enter,” Clapton told us.

In the very beginning, Casey had no idea he was about to attempt and make a quick profit on a premises that one of the world’s most notorious serial killers once called home. It was not long after strange things began to happen that the neighbours flocked in, to share with him the buildings dark past. 

The events endured by Clapton and all those involved was nothing short of horrific. 

” Periodically, throughout the course of the job, we had weird things keep happening!” He reported.

” Cellphones would suddenly die, heavy furniture would topple over. ” The contractor also claimed that cabinet doors would suddenly fly open and they would find chilling words left written in the dust. 

The writing became a common occurrence on site. ” More than once we found finger writing in dusty areas on the site, in the basement we found the words ” Help Me ” written on the inside of the basement window when I first opened up in the morning, and I know I locked the whole building up that night. Another time we found the word ” Leave ” written on the bedroom floor “.

Things got so bad that Clapton had to bring in two priests who proceeded in blessing the entire property and wrote holy scriptures on the wall. The home has been resold! But this is in no way the last we have heard of the Bundy House. 

 

What Lingers?

Ted Bundy was connected to telecast 36 crimes, including the rape and murder of women, it is believed he actually committed one hundred crimes of this nature. The first of his murders was committed at the age of 14, in this very house…

So it stands to pass, what or who is still in the Bundy House. The writing on the floor is the best evidence so far. That tells us that either there is someone in need of help and someone who is aggressive towards trespassers. 

Or maybe something else attracted by the bloody history of the house? Only time will tell.

When Legends Come to Life – Helltown Ohio

In the Northern part of Ohio, America there is a town so surrounded by mystery and rumour that it has inspired hundreds of explorers with legends of their own to tell. An entire town bought up by the government and then simply left to be? The legend of Helltown is born.

The Beginning of a Hellish town

Helltown was first founded in 1806. To the outside world, it was a quiet American town located in the Northern part of Summit County. Officially known as Boston Mills, it was the oldest village in Summit County. The Town continued to grow. Construction projects brought more and more settlers, then a railroad station was erected which made the town really thrive.

Until the late 70’s when the government bought the entire town and then evicted all of its residents.

The official reason was to rip down the houses and build a national park. That never happened. Adventurers quickly took notice of this location and began to explore. They brought back horrifying tales from there expeditions, those stories turned into legend.

In Ohio’s most mysterious location there is no single haunted house or a singular ghostly child running around. Helltown is home to several legends, each of them with their own variations. All of these stories conclude that Helltown is one of the most haunted and strange places in Ohio.

 

Helltown: Legends

The Residents had to leave their homes immediately, writing on the walls was found stating ” Now we know how the Indians felt.” The town was left as a shell with rows and rows and houses left abandoned, suddenly in the middle of the night.

One of the most noted tales within Helltown was the cursed school bus. Out in the middle of the wood’s, there was a rusted and broken down yellow school bus with all of its seats missing. Depending on which legend you listen to, the children were killed on the bus by either a serial killer, an escaped mental patient, or a cult.

Some of the stories tell us that the children have been seen sitting motionless in their assigned seats, staring silently ahead. Others claim to have heard the cries of the children as they tried to make their escape. Some say that all those who have tried to remove the bus have been met with a strange and fatal end.

However, another source mentions that the bus was simply used as a temporary residence for a family for an evicted family waiting to move on. The bus was later removed by the goverment, after countless reports of ghost hunters in the area.

 

Helltown or Mutant Town?

On the of the most famous and original legends is that of ‘Mutane Town’ or ‘Mutant Town’. When the government took Helltown, a rumour spread that they were using the area for a chemical dump. The spilt toxins caused the remaining men, women and children to mutate and ironically require a taste for murderous revenge.

These legends could have derived from a chemical spill in the area. The spillage originated on the Krejei family dump. After the Government bought out Helltown they sent in rangers to scout the area.

They quickly became sick after discovering the dump. It took a further nine years to clear up this area, following the discovery of 100s of barrels of chemical waste from large corporations.  The site was roped off and a massive clean up ensued.

 

 

 

 

 

The Hauntings of Helltown

Helltown is strife with rumours of ghosts and hellish stories. The cemetery seems to be one of the main areas these rumours surround.  

The large group of children who died in the bus accident ( Read Up ) are said to be buried here. This mass murder supposedly attracted Satanists from far and wide who had heard the stories of the Boston Mills and wanted to begin homemaking. The trees are said to move by themselves around the cemetery in order to hide the devil worshippers hiding holes. 

A tall male figure has also been seen. He is said to patrol the graveyard for unknown reasons, then simply sit and stare into space from a bench in the centre of the graveyard.

Of course, there is a lot more talk of ghosts in Helltown. Like the abandoned house in the middle of the forest. As the tales go it sits alone and lifeless in the centre of the townships wood. However, countless reports have flooded in over the years of a dim light emitting from the top floor every night…

Last but not least, Helltown’s infamous slaughterhouse, where it is said that in the dead of night, you can see the ghostly faces of the that used to belong to the victims of the Boston Mills Butcher.

All spooky stuff! but when you look a little bit deeper, once again there appears to be rational explanations for most of this. Such a the abandoned house in the woods being a perfectly intact hostel for young travellers. The light in the top window is left on to show all are welcome 24hrs a day. 

 

Rumours of the cult

Helltown is one scary ass place, if not thee scariest ass place. A lot of people would confirm that its worst factor is its satanic inhabitants. If it is true then they were drawn by the seclusion and the monstrosities that summed up everyday life here. The church itself is said to be their HQ. In fact, all the churches in Boston mills are said to just be a cover for the demonic worship that actually goes on. Anyone else thinking Outlast II? 😉

Helltown Church. Image via – The Other Side

Two churches reside in the Boston Mills area. Boston Community and the Mother of Sorrows. Each is said to be guarded by a murderous member of the occult who takes up residence in the basement. His main objective is to keep out all trespassers. He refuses to let people look at his face. He will jump and hide away if you come close. 

The Satanists who own the church never allow mass, and their choice of decoration is countless inverted crosses covering every inch of the crumbling walls. Creeped out yet? That’s not all. In each church, there is rumoured to be a single black candle that has never been extinguished. 

One Thousand Hells. Ancient Ram Inn

Encounters with the occult here are never ending. Another member, nicknamed ” The Hearseman ” lingers to challenge the bravery of any travellers brave enough to cross the boundaries he set at the beginning of certain roads. At the end of these routes, you will find his home. Then he will start his engine and chase you from his land in a hearse with only one working headlight. Or could just be some old guy getting pissed that people keep trespassing looking for the Hearseman. Hmm…

 

Highway to Hell

All Over Helltown there are road closure signs. These apparently are put into place by the friendly neighbourhood Satanists at the head of a dead-ended road. These roads are not dead ends but lead to various hideouts, such as a funeral home and a cemetery of unmarked graves.

Creeped out yet? How about when the lights go out.

In the darkness the roads become inaccessible. Plagued by murderous former inhabitants. One, in particular, the axe-wielding serial killer is known for his appetite to murder any who try to pass through his domain. The police are yet to track down any of these suspects.

Road Closure signs are matched with signs warning of satanic activity in the area. Again at night, it shows its true self.

Rumours of an evil force holds dominion over the roads in Boston Mills. There have been so many fatal crashes in the area that it becomes hard to ignore. The entity will try to force you from the road by taking control of your steering wheel. If that is not successful a group of robed Satanists will emerge from the shrub and form a human chain around your car in an attempt to render escape impossible.

 

Just Legend?

Helltown is more than likely just a myth. Looking online, almost every other blog will tell you how each rumour is an exaggeration of some sort. You will also see how a lot of the old buildings have been renovated or demolished. The area was finally designated a national park in 2000. We did find a few videos of people exploring the Boston Mills area ( such as the one below ) and in particular, a guy called Chrizpher.

 

However, Chrizpher’s adventures here look like a poorly plotted movie, very much the same as the other videos found…

Perhaps Boston Mills, for a time, was truly nightmare fuel. It’s easy enough to imagine cultists being attracted to an entire abandoned town. Maybe what they did there attracted things of a more evil nature.

Even better, perhaps they are still there but they just don’t want to be found…
