Black Star Canyon, CA: Correction/Update: I have never been one to dispel
popular myths, but being a student of O.C. history and having studied the
history of the Santa Ana mountains in excruciating detail, I believe that I
should correct the myth surrounding the massacre in the canyon. The only
recorded massacre that we have proof of (albeit oral testimony) was the 1831
attack on a group of Indian horse thieves who were camped near the lower part of
Hidden Ranch (still privately owned). A group of American fur trappers who had
crossed the desert from New Mexico were led by a William Wolfskill, who later
became a worker on, and part owner of, the great Irvine Ranch. Anyway, since
the Americans were not exactly welcome in the Mexican territory of Alta
California, they were given an assignment when they visited the then tiny pueblo
of Los Angeles: track down a group of Indian horse thieves and return our
steeds. The trail of the Indians was picked up near where Santiago Oaks
Regional Park is today (where the Santiago Creek leaves the foothills), all the
way to the mouth of Canada de Los Indios (The pre-American name for Black Star
Canyon, which was named for the Black Star Coal Mine operated by the (I believe)
Fullerton-based Santa Clara Mining Company). They rode up the canyon, which was
basically unexplored as the Spanish showed little interest in the S.A.
Mountains, and ran into the Indians near an old Indian camp site at the bottom
of Hidden Ranch (the small knoll to your right shortly after you finish the
switch backs). The ensuing battle was uneven, as the trappers were armed with
the best Pennsylvania and Kentucky long rifles and the Indians had bows, arrows,
and a few rusty Spanish blunderbusses. The Indians, according to Wolfskill's
testimony,ran down into the gorge near the Black Star waterfall, and disappeared
into the mountains, leaving their dead to rot on the grassy plain. The horses
(the ones not eaten) were recovered and returned to their owners in Los Angeles
shortly after the incident. The site is, unfortunately, on private land, but in
Terry Stephenson's Shadows of Old Saddle back, he describes a visit to the
village site back in late 1920's, where he recounts that the soil was black as
peat from the centuries of campfires, and that there are more grinder holes in
the sandstone boulders there than anywhere else in the range. Though I cannot
completely dispel the massacre by the old missions, conquistadors, in the
traditional sense, never came to California as the territory was populated long
after that era had passed. I hope this helps both those looking at hauntings in
the area, and amateur historians alike.

Well me and this girl named linda who is sitting with me right now..go to this school called Washington elementary. Well anyways there are these programs after school called the after school abstinence programs. So there has been a rumor going around our school for years and years even when our parents went to school, that there was a ghost haunting our school..supposedly there is a guy who fell off the roof he was one of the constructors who was building the school.. So of course we didn't believe in any of that but one day when we were after. school, at drama, like we saw all these girls running out of the girls bathroom screaming and stuff, and the bathroom had all of the lights turned off. So we walk in there and like look in all of the stalls, and of course there wasnt nothing in them but when we were walking out all of a sudden the door just closed and we tried turning on the lights but they didnt work so we were screaming, scared out of our pants, and banging on the door trying to get out but it was locked from the outside, but the only way it could be locked from the outside was if one of the teachers locked it with there key.. which of course, the teachers wouldnt do. So those girls heard us and ran and got a teacher, the door was locked from the outside but no one did it cuz no one had the key except the teacher and the girls who were standing outside didnt see no around who could have locked it. Well when we told the teachers our side of the story they thought we were just playing around, and we got written up..but seriously this is true!!

Myself and my partner, ever since moving into this rented house, have done
nothing but fight. This new house that we have moved into was such a lovely place
and was very comfortable. A year after moving in here, the comfortable feeling is
gone and we both find it impossible to sleep. I began to experience extreme cold
spots over the last year living here and these cold spots are not drafts. They
feel like I am walking into something that isn't physically there and I find I
have to avoid going to bed alone now because not only have the cold spots turned
even colder, now I feel the presence behind me every time I walk up the stairs on
my own. I feel deep down in my heart, that there is a teenage girl's spirit in my
house and possibly another demonic spirit also. I know this because, even though
I am a very clean and hygienic person, sometimes certain rooms suddenly fill with
a ghastly stench that I can only describe as the smell of rotting fish. Then the
stench disappears. Just like that! The feeling I get along the stairs is scary
but somehow I know that whatever it is (the girl) may not be a danger to me.
Lately, things have turned much much worse. I am hearing my mobile go off all the
time and when I reach the mobile, there is no missed calls nor anyone on the
other line, the lights and water taps are coming alive in the middle of the night
and my head is sore from having to keep looking around me. I even went to get a
check up at the hospital to see if I am ill and imagining the whole thing, but
the doctors insist that I am a perfectly normal and healthy 26 year old. For some
reason, my partner doesn't get scared in this house and I feel like whatever it
is, it's playing with me. Its just so confusing. I feel like I'm being the victim
here. I just don't know what to do. Only last week, I decided to get in touch with
a priest and he is calling this Saturday to say a mass in the house. I heard a
scary story also that the houses here are built over a graveyard but I just don't
even want to conceive such a thought. How do I know? We moved in here nearly two
years ago and all I know is that its going from bad to worse. I hear whispers
from outside this very room when I'm on my own and surfing the Internet while my
partner is at work. I hear doors slam and the doorbell is one of the things that
is really becoming annoying. It keeps ringing and I have to go all the way
downstairs at least three or four times to answer the door, only to discover
there is nobody there. Then on the way back up, I feel the spirit behind me.This
happens on a regular basis. I feel trapped and don't know who to go to. One night,
I had to walk up the stairs to where my partner was sleeping because I heard him
cursing and blinding from our bedroom. This is what makes me think there is
another, more violent spirit in this house. When I walked into the bedroom, he
was fast asleep and believe me, he doesn't talk in his sleep and even if he did, I
wouldn't have heard it from three stories above me. On the way back down the
stairs, I, once again felt the spirit of the girl behind me and was terrified.
Maybe, its time we moved out because I'm just not able for it and I'm scared that
the mass that will be said here on Saturday evening may very well anger whatever
is haunting our house. I am also terrified that it might destroy my relationship
with my partner that we are enjoying and have worked so hard on maintaining over
the last six years. We love each other so much and the last thing I want is some
spirits wrecking it. Thank you for taking the time to read what I have just
typed. It is ALL true and is currently happening in this house. I only pray to
God that I don't start to be slapped and beaten up from it. I fear that the most.

Just thought I would drop you a line to tell you the results of Saturday night.
I very recently posted a report about the frightening occurrences in my rented
house in Kerry and also mentioned that there was a priest coming to say a mass
last night. Guess what happened?!... I fell ill. The mass was canceled until I
am well again. An hour before the mass, I got a terrible migraine and couldn't
stop getting sick. Is this a surprise to you? please tell me what you think is
going on in here. I would be very pleased to hear what you have to say. Yours
faithfully,
Mark
Mark, Hello!
Thank you for writing to Winter Steel and for sharing with us your experiences.
Well, from what you have told us here, in your report before and now this, research would say you can have a problem here. This entity whatever - whomever it may be, doesn't wish to leave the place/area as far as we can tell. Why you may have felt sick on the day of the mass, to prevent it from happening.
We have heard of similar accounts of people falling ill before a psychic, priest, etc. would go to their house. Sometimes they would even fall ill *during* the blessing - dispelling, etc..
Maybe if you could reschedule the mass and be away when it happens and only come back to let those involved in, while you and your partner stay outside might help. Doesn't always mean the entity will leave, not trying to scare you, but just letting you know that not always can it work the first time - it may take many tries.
If it should be possible, that after the mass, you and your partner could find somewhere else to go, in a short amount of time may also be an alternative.
Were there any incidents there before that you may look into? Anything to know that what you heard of the graveyard once being there to be true? That way to know this is not directly related to you or your partner but something that has always been there.
Finding out some about the history and the area may help shed some light on why things are happening there.
It's hard to give you anything but bit's and pieces without knowing more, and we wouldn't wish to give you any wrong advice.
Hope this may be of some help!
Best, Shana

The old Saratoga County Homestead is a former tuberculosis ward and a mental
institution before that. We crawled in through this window about five feet off
the ground, and after about 15 minutes, we felt like we were being watched. I
had my back up against this wall when I started to feel the rocks beneath my
feet start to move. I shined my spotlight into the room next to me but saw
nothing, so disregarded it. I asked my friend to stand behind me, and the same
thing happened to her. We were with about 10 other people, so we started to run
up a flight of stairs and another girl we were with started having an intense
asthma/anxiety attack, so a few people took her outside and the only people who
didn't split away from us were with me, so we just kept walking. There's a chapel
on the roof, and it was pitch black. We tried to go through to the other side
but my friend told me to shine my light on the roof. I got scared and we took
off. After we got down to the first floor, I started to walk ahead after I had
regained my composure and I heard a noise. I shined my light into a room and saw
something run past the door. I freaked out and made the boys take me out. The
mad dash to the door was intense. I felt like they were all around me and they
said to keep the light ahead but I had to flash it behind me. We finally made it
back to the window and jumped out. I just so happened to shine the light back in
the window, and saw it staring at us, and then it ran past the window.

I was With Alyssa, Every bit of what she said was true, I doubted the
supernatural before Saturday night. We climbed through the window, the air was
dusty and the place had seemed just worn down, nothing more. We walked down the
hallway on the first floor, We came to a stop, we turned our flashlights off and
stared down the dark hall, I couldn't see really because I didn't have my
glasses on, but some dark object was walking back and forth past the window. one
of the girls started to cry, so I gave her my little pouch of agrimony, an herb
for protection, just in case. We went up a stair case to the second floor, in a
closet was a picture of a man hanging. We went to the end of the hallway, me, my
friend and this guy were in the back next to a window, behind us was a closet.
We heard a low whistling coming from inside the closet, we walked down the hall,
We got to the other end of the hallway and I started to smell something. Then
one of the other girls that was there looked at me and said,"Can you smell
that?" I did. It smelled like maggots and something rotting, I looked around to
see where it might be coming from and it stopped. We turned around to walk back
down the hall, then we got to another staircase. We went up, I was at the bottom
of the stairs. At the top, was a doorway that led to the roof, this girl looked
up and then the next thing I know, She's having an asthma attack and was crying.
I put my hand on her shoulder and felt her shaking uncontrollably. Her boyfriend
wanted to take her out, but she just couldn't move, so I helped him and their
friend get her out. We had but one flashlight, and I was in the back of them, I
felt something behind me, but every time I looked around, it was black. I heard
whistling again, but not like before, like someone was singing, but it came from
the rooms. We got and waited for the others. We got back to the cars and seconds
later we heard screams, I heard my friend Alyssa over everybody. We piled into
the vehicles, two of the other boys were still in the chapel. They got out and
got into the car finally. We sped off down the road, turns out, after the group
got out, a man walked to the window, stopped, looked at them, then dashed off.
As we were driving one of the boys who didn't go in this time saw a little girl
on the side of the road, she followed them home. When they were in there last
time, she was in there. One of the two boys dropped his cell phone when they
were running, we turned around and went back. When we drove past the building
before getting out again, I saw a man standing on the lawn and I panicked,
nobody else had seen him even though I pointed him out. That night, I felt I was
still in that place even though we were home. I am a believer.

I've been visiting my grandma and dad in the summers for the past 3 years. About
2 years before I started visiting my grandpa Russ died. My grandma cremated
him. She took half of his ashes and buried them in the back yard. She still has
the other half of the ashes. But before he dies he told my grandma to put some of
his ashes in the ocean. She hasn't done it yet. Everything was the same for the
past 2 years. But this year I feel something different in this house. I sleep on a
air mattress in the living room. Every time I try to go to sleep I always feel like
something is staring directly at me. I always get a turning feeling in my stomach
when I'm alone. One night was late and my grandma and dad were asleep. I was
on the computer playing a game in the kitchen. Beside the kitchen is like a
little inside patio with a wooden door. We always keep the door closed. When I was
playing on the computer I heard a screeching sound of a door opening. I looked
behind me and the door was cracked a few inches open. The windows in there
weren't open so I thought it was the cat at first. Then I heard it screech again.
I turned around and the door was open a little more so I got up to see if the cat was in
there but he was sleeping with my grandma the whole time! I started to get that
turning feeling in my stomach and I also got that feeling that someone was
watching me. I stared at the door for a couple of seconds to see if anything
happened but nothing did but that feeling in my stomach grew 10 times bigger. So I
turned off the computer and left for bed but even when I was in bed I still had
the feeling that someone was watching me. The next day way a little better.
Except when my cat got outside around 9:00 PM at night. We were looking
everywhere for him. I looked in the backyard for him. I had a very little flash
light. When I was in the backyard I got that feeling in my stomach again. I looked
at my grandpa's grave (or buried ashes) and whiled I looked at it that feeling
grew A LOT more. I started taking short fast breaths until I finally left. The
feeling went away for awhile. But when my dad and I were in the side yard close
to my grandpa's grave. The flash light went out and my dad just put in new
batteries 2 days ago. I got that feeling again and I felt like someone was watching
and following us. I got really scared and went into the house. I feel asleep woke
up today ( 6/17/2006 /).

cloud about the site of a basket ball about half a foot off the ground flashed
pasted in about a second and I thought I was trippin out so kept walking But

(which is where it ended)and I was like wtf you saw that to then we both looked
under the deck chairs.

thing only it zig zaged and she ran away.

A spirit follows me everywhere. Stays close with me. I've tried moving and with
every move...it is yet attached. I'm tired of talking to it to ask it to go. I
tried a little advice from a few who suggested the herb sage, or holy water and
prayer from clergy. Yet I'm suffering.....got any suggestions or travelers who
can assist. dilemma maddening..some. (a female)
*Hard to advise on this situation with such limited information. Do you know why or who is haunting you? Did you do, or participate in something, for the entity to attach itself to your person? What exactly does the entity do? Did you place faith | belief in the ways you used to remove it from yourself? Have you continued do do any of this things that were advised to you? Has anyone else ever experienced or witnessed the entity? There are many more questions as not much of the situation itself was mentioned in what you wrote.
Contacting someone close, priest, true psychic, etc., depending on which way you wish to go, and working with the person(s) over a period of time may help lessen the situation or stop it all together. No matter what, it will give you someone to talk to, and that always helps than going through any situation alone.
Do see our 'Ghost & Haunting FAQ's,' there may be something there that can assist you with your problem | concerns.

A ghost caught in a photo by a friend of mine who is a photographer. He took a series of 4 photos at the same time of day, from the same location. In one of them there is a very hazy "image". He changed no camera settings. Since the photo has been circulated he has had two separate incidents of meeting people, one at the site where the photo was taken, who have told him of ghostly encounters. One of these parties says someone is buried at the site.

When my boyfriend and I first rented a room in the house we were told by its
other tenants that it was haunted. I didn't really believe them so we moved
into the basement and went along with business as usual. Now EVERY night I hear
footsteps running around on the middle floor and opening the back sliding door.
The other tenants have said that cabinets have occasionally opened and closed
without provocation, and so has the dryer. The little two year old that is
living here is always fixated on opening the back sliding door and going into
the back yard. I wonder if it has anything to do with the spirit living here.
I'd like to know any resources to learn of any deaths at this residence, and I
would like to know how to communicate with the spirit..or if I should in the
first place!
Tracy
* Hello Tracy!
You can check the local library for any history and/or articles of the area. If possible, you can also check with the local newspaper(s).
To communicate or not would depend on you and your beliefs. Some would encourage you to try and communicate with a spirit, and other's would tell you not to. We would NOT suggest Ouija boards or anything of the sort. Just simply talking to 'it' out loud can easily do it. Then, it would depend if 'it' would wish to communicate with you in return or not.

My friends auntie was going on holiday and she asked my friend, my sister and me
to look after the place for her. the place is a very old building in oxton
facing birkenhead boys school. the first night we started hearing strange noises
around the place but didn't think much of it, until one night when we were all
sleeping my sister woke up and saw a girl standing at the bottom of the bed by a
long mirror she described her as having black long hair a pale face and her eyes
were wide open, she placed her head under the duvet as she was full of shock and
fright. the next day she explained to us what she had saw but me and my friend
just laughed it off. the next night we took the mirror out of the room and put
it in living room we were watching TV before we went to bed and it was working
fine, the next morning I turned the TV on and it was just covered in black and
white fuzzy dots I checked in case the aerial or the scart lead had fell out but
they were fine. I left for work and got a phone call from my friend saying about
the TV, she met me from work that day and when we got back to the place I
noticed a plug was out of the socket so I put it back in and the TV began to
work, I asked my friend if she had left a plug out but she said the she was sure
she never as she didn't touch any of the plugs, we started to get a bit freaked
out so we moved the mirror into the hall as we thought it had something to do
with that. each day after that we could hear foot steps upstairs but no one had
moved onto the next floor yet so that was very strange and also we could hear
light switches at night flickering on and off. a few days later me and my friend
left for work in the morning leaving my sister there asleep, she was woken by
loud footsteps in the hall outside the bedroom door she left the place
immediately, the following day our last night there when we had gone to bed the
electricity went the next morning we thought that we had ran out and when my
friend had looked there was still money running in the meter, we are very
interested to know was it a ghost and what did it want?
jayne
* Hello Jayne,
The possibility of the situations you've mentioned being paranormal in nature, or not, are hard to tell.
Could it have been people playing practical jokes? Electrical problems? Could your friend merely been dreaming? Did she or anyone else ever see the girl again? Could the foot steps heard upstairs be from people going in and out, maybe for rental purposes, cleaning, or fixing up the place? How are the acoustics in the building? Could something which may be sounding outside the home be heard, and mistaken for, as if inside? Sometimes being, sleeping, in a new place can be unsetteling, for one is not used to the area or surroundings. Things and sounds that may be normal, may not seem as so. Once questions like these are addressed, then we can look at other options for the occurences.
Has your friends aunt ever experienced anything unusual, or similar to what you have described? Has any other(s) who may have rented the place before her? Was the mirrior a new item bought recently?
Go over these questions and any other's you can think of, and the answer(s) may be there.

I went through a terrible time in the year 2000. I felt like a trap door had
opened under me and dropped me into Hell. But I got help from "on high', you might
say. I want to share with anyone who comes here how to get that kind of help.
You can do this yourself or have someone do it for you. Whoever does it needs to
call on the four best-known archangels - Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Uriel. (The
Watchtowers of magic and the Watchers of Strega are the same spirits, so it
doesn't necessarily matter what names you use.) Call upon them five times each and
do this five times. If things haven't changed soon, repeat every day. Eventually
you will get their attention. If your home is haunted by something negative it
might be best to call upon them elsewhere, say, just down the street -- it doesn't
matter where.
After calling their names, you need to tell them what the problem is, with who and
where. For example, you can say "my friend Sarah from work is being haunted and
she's scared" or "I feel a malicious presence in my home, please help me". Be sure
to invite them to stay as long as they need to resolve the situation. The spirit
realm is their domain and I can't imagine many spirits still being able to cause
much trouble with them around.
I have been watching this site for almost a year now and have asked them to
intervene because of a few hauntings I read. I haven't been able to reach anyone
by the email addresses they left here, however, so I decided to "report" this in
hope that anyone needs help will see it.
As to my own haunting... it's become a personal matter and I don't wish to dwell
upon it. Suffice to say, it was nightmarish and I'm glad it's over. But because of
the archangels I have come out of it with surprisingly few psychological scars.

I work for the Goshen City Street Department. The building we currently house
used to be an old train depot. At approximately 5:30 am I hear footsteps and
distinct whistling coming from one section of the building. Also, when I look
in the mirror, I can see a man behind me dressed in a trench-coat. A few months
thereafter, I went to Rieth Park and saw a picture of the building. In front of
the building was the man in the trench-coat. Underneath the picture, it showed
that he had been dead for a while.
I would really like to get this checked out. If anything can be done, let me
know. Send me an email.

I was taking pics of me and my boyfriend one night in my room with my digital
camera with a self timer on a tripod. Later we downloaded the pictures on my
computer, and there were balls of light in almost every picture, in various
locations in the room. my boyfriend told me they were called orbs, balls of
energy some people think are coming from ghost. I counted 5 orbs in one picture.
Sometimes dust particles hit by light can cause these balls of light to appear
in photographs but my camera wasn't moved in the balls of light appear in
different numbers, sizes, and positions. I don't believe it was just dust, b/c
most of my pics will have orbs and a couple of them don't. I've seen ghost in my
room more than once, but I don't think my house is haunted, I don't think the
ghost are attached to it. There's allot of haunted places in VA, like Elbow road
in Chesapeake, VA.. supposedly if you park your car at the main curve of that
road, you'll see a little girls foot prints that coming towards you. She
supposedly drowned somewhere near stump lake, beside the road.

My husband and I spent our 7th anniversary at St. James Hotel in Red Wing, MN. The
hotel is beautiful. The Restaurant and bar are both places I would highly
recommend, as well as the Hotel . . . however, I did have a couple of strange
encounters while we were there. We stayed in the Huck Finn room (I think, can't
remember for sure). Nothing strange happened during the day, but that night, my
husband and I were laying in bed watching TV, and he had fallen asleep. I was
still wide awake watching Saturday Night Live laying on my side, when it felt
like a hand brushed across my face and neck, as if brushing my hair back. It was
VERY real. Almost as if I had done it myself. The windows were closed, so I know
it wasn't a breeze or anything, and it made me jump and sit up in bed to look
around . . . I was a little freaked out, but still able to fall asleep myself.
Then, a couple of hours later, I must have dozed off, because around 1:30 in the
morning I woke up to the sound of the TV, seeming VERY loud. That was when I
noticed that I no longer had the remote. It was on the other bed, behind my
husband who was laying in EXACTLY the same position he was earlier when he fell
asleep. There is no way he grabbed the remote, turned up the TV and fell asleep
in the exact same position again. At the time, I took the remote back, and
started watching TV again because I was a little shaky. Again, laying on my bed
with the remote in my hand. I was woken again at 3:30 to my husband scrambling
around the room, looking for the remote to shut the TV off. The remote was no
longer on my bed with me once again, it had moved to the table on the side
farthest from me. I KNOW I didn't put the remote over there, and he had not
touched it because he had no idea where it was. Super strange as far as I am
concerned. I think I would for sure stay in that Hotel again just to see what
would happen next! I would love to know if anyone else had any experiences at
this hotel!!

I remember submitting a story a long time ago about my own house, but there are
several other places. I have a friend who used to live in one of the only
Victorian homes still standing and it had several hauntings. One was in the
basement, allegedly a murder happened there and people hear a woman screaming
coming from the basement. Another is in the living room where several cold spots
have been reported. One other that stands out is the little "tea room" where an
old tea set bought at an antique shop sits in the middle of the room on a tiny
table. The teapot's peculiar, it's hot to the touch and there hasn't been tea in
it for years. Then the cups clatter around by themselves (it's china/porcelain),
and the saucers seem so fragile but they move off the table and fall and hit the
floor and stay intact... I know my friend wonders whether a ghost protects the
set or something... I'm not so sure. But I've been in there at night and I've
seen several people who you can tell do not live there shuffling around the
house. There is for certain two ladies and one elderly man and a child.
There's my report... I hope it's good enough.

well me and my brother was walking home from school and we decided to take a
long way to our house. when we was walking down the street we heard a scream, a
shotgun, and like someone was scraping their nails down a chalk board. we walked in
side to make sure it was OK. we found nail scratching on the chalk board, and we
saw a bullet hole in the wall, next to the hole there were big, bold fresh blood
spatters. we decided that we will take a tour of the house. (we liked to explore
haunted places and we thought this would be the opportunity to be the first one.)
took some pics. and when we developed the pics. we saw this head peeking down from
the stairwell bars. we never saw it in real life though. we plan to go back and
update sometime.

Okay... I believe in ghosts, but the stories I've heard from others I'd just
blown off. I've been told by many that the Brown Hotel in Louisville Kentucky
was haunted. This morning I'm a believer. At 7:43 am, I was in a dead
sleep... Someone was yelling at me, but pacing, so I could only hear bits and
pieces of what he was saying. He seemed very aggitated. I was trying to tell
him to go away, but like I said I was in a very deep sleep. I was fading in and
out because he kept coming over to the edge of the bed and yelling at me. "What
you gonna do that for"... finally I was awake enough to speak, and I yelled out
go away... Then he says again... even more aggitated, "What you gonna do that
for". He was standing next to the bed, then leaned over and grabbed my hand and
shook it... THAT WOKE ME UP! Yes, I was a sleep, but this was no dream. He
woke me up, him yelling at me woke me up, him grabbing my hand... REALLY woke
me up... I really didn't see anything, a form but I couldn't make anything
out. I know it was a man because of his voice... I will never stay in room 819
again... I realize I'm in "his space" and that's probably why he's aggitated,
but just let me sleep!

I have personally seen a miner that walks on B street near Piper's Opera house.
He followed my friends and I one night. He just walks along with his thumbs
hooked into his pants pockets.
There is a ghost of a woman in the Forever Christmas, store. I saw her walk
through the wall and glide across the porch, then disappear behind a post that is
8x8 inches thick. It took her 4 minutes to glide to the post and during the
entire time she had her hands clasped loosely in front of her. She was about 4
inches above the deck. I couldn't see her feet or face. Her face was more like a
featureless blob.
The Silver Queen Hotel was featured on a Haunted Nevada segment. In room 11 there
is the ghost of a pregnant prostitute. She went to a priest to seek comfort
during her difficulties and he vilified her so harshly, she went back to her
room, slit her wrists and died.
Room nine is the seat of the forever repeating argument between a man and a
woman. No matter where one is, in the hotel, the voices carry loud and clear.
Just before the argument ends, there is a loud noise, like someone being slapped,
then the sound of a door being slammed.
A former handy man tells of the time he was using the restroom in one of the
rooms and was pushed to the floor by unseen hands. He has had pranks played on
him many times and has gotten used to it.
While the History Channel was filming the sequence of the forever argument, a
friend and I were standing in the hall and saw a woman's spirit emerge through
the wall and glide across the hall, to enter through an unopened door, of the
room opposite it.
People have had their blankets pulled back as they were sleeping and a playful
spirit likes to tug 3 times on someone's toes. Another spirit likes to hide items
