Before you say that it's fake or most of them are made up...
The Phantom Light - There is a turn onto a gravel road off the highway going towards Prince Albert just outside of St. Louis. Then there is another turn onto a dirt road that used to be railroad tracks. There was a terrible derailment there in the 50's. If you go there at night you see a train's headlight coming toward you. There is also a swinging lantern that sometimes appears. There are many stories to go along with this particular haunting! A long time ago there used to be trains running through that particular spot. They say a man was working on a train and was killed. Other people say there was a massive crash and the train hit a car killing 2 parents and little boy. The driver felt so guilty he killed himself. He now walks the train tracks. You can actually see the light coming, and feel cold spots. Some people claim it is the light of the train, others say it is the lantern light of the conductor that was killed on the tracks (which are no longer there, however you can still see where the tracks once were) A book that was published in the 1970s has an interview of a woman who, at the time, was in her eighties. She remembers going on horseback when she was young to see the light. She does not believe that it is car headlights (as many 'doubters' say it is) because at the time she, her friends, and sisters went, there were no automobiles in the area at that time.
I can verify this one. Everyone in my family has seen it, and I'm waiting for them to take me.



Happy Halloween!

I've seen all of these.....

Johnson's Island Confederate Cemetery

Very little remains of the Confederate POW camp that once occupied Johnson's Island in Sandusky Bay. Today you can reach it by highway bridge and see the cemetery where so many rebel soldiers were buried, far from home. (See also Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery in Columbus.)
Legend has it that the ghosts of the soldiers stand up from their graves and march south, in formation, across the bay and toward home. Workers at the stone quarry saw them one day in the early 1900s while taking shelter from a storm under the cemetery trees.

The Headless Motorcyclist

One of the most talked-about ghost stories is the Elmore Ghost Rider, whose story is related in an old issue of the Journal of the Ohio Folklore Society. Apparently once a year (or maybe more often) a headless motorcyclist repeats his final trip across a bridge near the town of Elmore.
His origin story, although almost certainly legend, goes like this: when the guy got back from World War One, he discovered that his girlfriend had shacked up with another man. In a rage he hopped on his motorcycle and drove off down the winding road. Maybe it was raining. Maybe he killed them first. It all depends on who you ask. But ultimately he wrecked and died, either on the bridge or shortly thereafter. Today it's said that if you stand on the bridge at the right time the motorcycle will really mess you up. If you stand to the side it'll pass you by.

I've gotten word that the police used to park at this bridge on certain nights making sure no one would stop and get out to investigate, because it had gotten to be such a nuisance. As of late no one seems to know exactly which bridge it is--something the local police are probably happy about. But according to a few e-mails I've received, the bridge is located just across the county line in Sandusky County, near the town of Lindsey, at the place where Fought Road crosses Mud Creek. Check it out and let me know what happens.


The Old Stone House on the Lake

The Old Stone House on the Lake Bed and Breakfast (417 West Main Street, Marblehead; was once owned by the Clemons family, which had thirteen kids, 65+ grandkids, and 300+ great-grandkids. No one could agree who would get the house, so they sold it. Today it's a bed and breakfast which is haunted by a little girl. She appears as a white mist.

i have never experienced something like this before, i kinda want to though, i'm definitly curious about stuff like that,

my brother & his friends go to "haunted" places a lot,, they drove a long way to the woods & where theres a hill & put the car in neutral & it started moving, but not down the hill, it was moving UP the hill, also they saw a white figure from a distance.

I went to Maryland's most haunted city this past weekend for a ghost walk, where they take you through the city and tell you stories. Apparently the most haunted building is the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.

She told us of one particular story, where a woman was very skeptical of all of the stories she had heard about ghost hauntings and decided to work there since she was completely unafraid. One day, she was upstairs and it was extremely cold. She walked down the hall to one of the rooms on the 2nd floor and a teenage boy was standing there, staring at one of the exhibits. She asked if she could help him, he turned around, and ran out of the room towards the emergency exit door and fled. She went downstairs to ask her supervisor who the boy upstairs was, and he said no one was in the museum but the two of them. They went over surveillance photos, and you can see the woman standing there, rubbing her arms for warmth, and talking to the corner. She jumped back and then went to the door and looked down the hallway towards the emergency door...but nothing showed up on film. The emergency door would have set off an alarm if it was opened.
CREEPY!

Weirdest thing about that stop on the tour is that it's closed at night, yet a light came on in the upper right window on the third floor when we were leaving. I didn't ask.

Other folklore from the area that I've been meaning to check out but I'd be scared absolutely shitless if it actually happened:

Poolesville - Black Rock Road (same road that the Blair Witch Project kids parked on and started out)- Hauntings of two teenage ghosts that were mysteriously killed in a car crash in a small lake by an old water house. Their ghostly visions are seen at night when there are no car lights and you honk your horn a few times there spirits are seen rising from the lake and then come to knock on your car door. It has also been seen that a pair of bright headlights are shown coming down the narrow road and then disappear.

Rockville - Game Preserve - The narrow bridge in the middle of the road... back at the turn of the century a woman and her child were killed my gang members. At midnight you can hear the child crying if there are no cars around and its all dark and quiet. I also heard if you stop under the bridge and turn off your lights, a dead ghost baby is supposed to fall in your car. So whenever my friends and I drive under it they scream out LOL DEAD BABIES!

God I loves me some ghost folklore.
