Local "Haunted" Places

MegaBuddha

Not the people in costume ones.
In my city there are just a few haunted places, the main two being the Lima Tuberculosis Hospital and CryBaby bridge.

The tb hospital is an old abandoned hospital in my town that got shut down about a hundred years ago because so many people died in it. But now it's just an old building. Graffiti everywhere, and stuff like that. But it's still pretty scary to walk around in at night. I'm probably going again this Sat.

Crybaby bridge is just a bridge some lady dropped her baby off of, and now you can hear it scream, sopposedley. I of course never have.


Any places like this around you?
 
There's one in my hometown (Wilsonville, Oregon). Dammasch Hospital. It's an old asylum that was close down about 15 years ago. I don't know the exact reason, but they did have a lot of escapees, and supposedly some deaths. It's pretty tough to get in, unfortunately. It's also pretty intimidating from the outside, it looks like a prison.
 
Well, Beaufort, North Carolina (2hrs from where I live) is the town where Black beards ghost is supposed to reside, along with some of the others he killed or died in the civil war. The cemetery there also has a little girl that died in a grotesque manner is said to roam there (of which while visiting kept seeing something in the corner of my eye, but it could of been the people beside me for all I know.)

That's about all I know locally. I wish I could find more because my fiancee just LOVES haunted places.
 
Actually, the upstairs of my house (and in sone cases, my basement suite) has seen more than its share of freaky crap happen.

That place is fucking scary

There is this gray house on my street, that for about 10 or so years, was entirely abandoned, but still had the previous owners stuff in it. The house was the site of one of the largest grow-op busts in Ontario history until rather recently, and also the site of three suicides and 2 murders.

Since someone actually started living it it (about 6 years ago), no one has lived in the house for more than a year before moving.

Me and my friends would break into this place all the time, and fuck, there is just somthing... wrong with it.

EDIT: I forgot the scary part. The first people who moved in (who got the house for like, same price you can buy an apartment) found a body in a freezer in the basement, and bloodstains in the bathtubs throughout the house =/
 
Oh, also, up at the trailer park I go to for summer vacation, there's and old burned-down barn just outside the park after like 20 minutes of walking through a forest, and everyone used to say it was haunted. I'd never been there, so a bunch of us decided to head down and see it.

At midnight

On shrooms

It was fucking terrifying + awesome. Shit like that is never as scary when you have people with you though.
 
Um Logan, don't you think it's kind of reasonable for a lot of people to die in a hospital? Why couldn't it be shut down for something else?

Things are only haunted if you have the perception and imagination to make it 'haunted' imo.
 
Speaking of haunted places, do you guys ever watch Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel? Pretty freaky shit in some of the episodes. New season starts in 4 days! OMG!
 
ah, it was something abouta study they did and experimented with.. I forget.
But like 18 out of 100 tested patients died in the 3 year study or w.e and I guess that's scary.
 
In San Antonio there's these haunted train tracks. Where a bus got stuck and a train hit it and all the kids died on that bus. So they say if you park your car there and put some powder in the back, you can ser the hand prints of kids pushing you.
 
My dad's house is within 2 blocks of the original Amityville Horror house. It doesn't look anything like it did in the movie though.

I saw a show about that where they put powder on the car, and there were hand prints all over it. It isn't even on a hill, and they put the car in neutral, and it rolled over the tracks. It was pretty weird.
 
I live in New Hope, PA, which is one of the most haunted places in America supposedly. I have a paranormal experience around here at least once a year, to be honest.

We have our own Crybaby Bridge here, too, except i've actually heard the baby on ours.

Edit: we also have our own powder-on-the-bumper story, except ours deals with a place called "gravity hill". On a certain section of road, there is an uphill climb that your car will roll up if left in neutral. You roll uphill for sure, but there were no hand prints in the powder when we tried it.

Collingwood House. Looks alright eh? But supposedly the spirits of dead Aboriginals are inside. The area which this house was built on was a meeting place for two tribes. White people came along and killed them, and they now supposedly haunt this house.

Well, according to the show, the people who do the actual investigations go into these houses thinking there ISNT a ghost in it, and offer explanations to the homeowners about things they can easily explain.

Whether that's true or just part of the show, I have no idea, but it's not terribly dramatized and the footage seems true enough. For the most part they end up saying "nope nothing here" but there have been a few episodes where "unexplainable" stuff has happened.

For example, in one episode, a camera in a dark room recorded a door that was fully closed open almost completely, and then close with a slam - with nobody behind it, no shadow of feet in the line of light at the bottom of the door before it opened, and no person in the mirror next to the door that reflected the rest of the hallway after the hallway's light lightened up the room. Something like that could be set up, sure, but either way it's pretty entertaining.

Personally, I used to live very close to one of the "most haunted" places on the planet before, Key West FL. By far the creepiest story of Key West is Robert, the haunted doll.

...Just looking a page up about him made me kinda nervous. He really is extremely creepy.

Gee, thanks for linking me to that page. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight, :/
 
About ten kilometers from my house, there's this abandoned mental hospital. It's still almost fully equipped and seems as if it were abandoned within hours.

I've never been there, but there was a fad to go explore it a year back or so. Most of my friends went there, but none of them had any unreal experiences. Some people say they've seen lights flashing for no reason, faces appearing and the basic stuff like that. The fact that mentally disordered people have been kept there only makes it 'haunted' enough.

Nowadays it's mainly used by Satan worshippers and the like who light candles all over the place and sacrifice animals.

whoa there lol that's pretty fucking creepy. I didn't even read it, just saw the pic. I'll check it out later though >:)
 
the robert story seems really creepy. creepy enough that i wouldn't want to go see him.

there's a restaurant,The Barn Cider, ten minutes from my home where supposively only the waiters and waitresses can see a man walking around the restaurant.
 
Ellicott City. I've heard one of the most haunted cities on the east coast.

Heard there was an abandoned house, called the Hell House. Used to be a hospital. Then, it got burned down, and people just go there every now and then. I've heard some people get psychologically freaked out at night there.
