The Bell Witch Cave

Author: admin

bell-witch-cave

The Bell Witch of  Tennessee is probably one of the most popular ghost stories ever in the United States. Now because of all that’s been documented on this story I will not go into great detail because if I did it would take hundreds of pages just to cover all the information that is known about this haunting. To make a long story short basically the back in the early 1800’s a farmer named John Bell and his  family were tormented and traumatized by demon for almost 4 years. The haunting was the result of a curse placed on the Bell family by a Ba’al worshiper and this allowed Ba’al to unleash his demonic legion to assist in the tormenting and persecution of the entire Bell family until the curse was fulfilled with the death of John Bell.

A little ways from the site of the old Bell farm near Red River is a cave called the Bell Witch Cave. Now legend has it that this cave is where the spirit went to hide after the death of John Bell until it is able to find it’s next victim. However like most time’s legend gets mixed with anything legend is wrong. Don’t get me wrong this cave is a very bad place but not because of what’s inside of it but it’s a bad place because what is able to come out. You see upon making her deal with Ba’al the eccentric woman who unleashed Ba’al’s legion on the world created a doorway in which they may enter by drawing the symbol of Ba’al on the cave wall using  the blood of 7 people and the ground up horn of a ram. This created a Hellmouth for the lack of a better term allowing Ba’al’s legions to enter our world at will while John Bell was alive and once every 12 years during fall harvest season for no more than 12 days.

So if you do visit this area it’s best to avoid it during October because thats when your at risk if your in the right numbered year. I hope you enjoyed some added in site to the Bell Witch story. Keep it spooky.

Niagara Falls Ghosts in the Screaming Tunnel

Author: admin

screaming-tunnel

I thought I’d bring up a not so well known Haunted location today and cover the screaming tunnel at Niagara Falls. The Screaming Tunnel is an abandoned Grand Trunk railway structure  located in the Northwest section of Niagara Falls at the end of an empty road only accessible off  Queen Elizabeth Highway. The tunnel was constructed by Grand Trunk with hopes of making a railway line from Niagara Falls to New York City but then world war 1 broke out and Grand Trunk had a lot of financial problems so the railway was never finished.

This tunnel is haunted by the ghosts of two small girls. The first was named Sarah. Here family were nearby farmers and one night their farmhouse caught fire. Sarah ran from the home but her clothes caught fire and she burned to death at the center of the tunnel. The other girl named Jean who was 8 years old when she died was taken to the tunnel by her father who raped his own child then burned her alive to cover up all traces of his crime.

If you’ve watched The Dead Zone by Christopher Walken and remember him going into a tunnel for refuge then you’ve seen the Screaming tunnel before.

I found a video on Youtube of a group investigating the tunnel so I decided to share it here because it gives you a good look at the tunnel. But if you do visit the Screaming Tunnel of Niagara Falls to look for ghosts I do ask that you be respectful and do not try to anger the ghosts to get them to reveal them selfs because the ghosts here were both little girls when they passed so if there was a time and place to have some respect for the ghosts of the dead it would be at the Screaming Tunnel.

Ghosts of The Tower of London

Author: admin

tower-of-london

With a history of beheadings, murders, torture and hangings, as well as being a prison to Nobles it is no wonder The Tower of London has developed a reputation as being one of the most haunted places in Britain. Grim, grey and awe-inspiring, the Tower has dominated the London landscape and the pages of history, since its construction by William the Conqueror in 1078 and today on ghostmap not only are we going to cover who haunts this location but more importantly I’ve decided to cover a why this spot is haunted as well and when you read this your going to be a bit shocked.

***Most powerful Ghosts***

Anne Boleyn— King Henry VIII, after learning the baby Anne carried for nine months was a boy and still born, accused by her of infidelity.  She was taken to TOWER GREEN and was beheaded on May 19, 1536. Queen Anne appears near the Queen’s House, close to the site where her execution was carried out. She can be seen leading a ghostly procession of Lords and Ladies down the aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula her head tucked under her arm.

Sir Walter Raleigh—Was condemned to be executed by King James I. He frequents his rooms in the tower and is rater displeased by the tours of people who now visit his still furnished rooms. He has on occasion pinched, bit and scratched a few of the more disrespectful tourists.

Margaret Pole Countess of Salisbury—King Henry VIII had her executed for political reasons. The Countess refused to put her head on the block like a common traitor. When her executioner came after her she ran, but was pursued by him, with his axe in hand hacking at her until he had chopped the Countess to death. Her ghost is in a state of shock still reliving this  gruesome death each and everyday.

Lady Jane Grey–The granddaughter of Mary (Henry VIII younger sister) and Louis XII of France. The Duke of Northumberland would lose everything if Henry VIII’s son was to die and Mary, who was Catholic, would become queen. He and her father arranged her marriage to his son and persuaded her cousin Edward VI to name her his successor in case of his death instead of his two half-sisters. When Edward VI died she was crowned Queen of England, but the supporters of Mary overthrew her.

Her own father got scared and in hopes to save his own skin, left the Tower of London and went to Tower Hill to proclaim Mary I, as the Queen of England, Lady Jane never left the tower; she and her husband were immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death. Queen Mary carried out the execution of Lady Jane’s father-in-law but set both Jane and her husband free.

Her father was involved in a rebellion against Mary I, Lady Jane and her husband were again placed in the tower. Lady Jane watched as her husband was taken to Tower Hill where he was beheaded. She saw his body being carried back to the chapel, after which she was taken to Tower Green where she was beheaded. She was only 17 years old. Her ghost is most active on February 12th the anniversary of her death. She is protected by other spirits here due to her young age and the fact that her death was due to the result of the selfishness of others.

Cathrine Howard–She is one of the scariest ghosts in my opinion because of the fact that she has black void where her face should be.  Her ghost can be seen wearing a veil reliving her trip in a funeral carriage.

Ok, now that we covered the “major” ghosts at The Tower of London let me tell you a bit about the two reasons this place is so haunted. The first reason is that the Salt Tower is actually built upon a “hellmouth” or gateway to the afterlife. Due to this fact anyone who died within it’s general area were unable to pass on because of residual energy. The second reason is the stones that were used to construct part of the tower were taken from a Druid ritual location in which human sacrifices were carried out on these very stones.

TOP 5 HAUNTED LOCATIONS IN NEW ORLEANS

Author: admin

1. Lalaurie House

1140 Royal Street, that is notorious even by the bizarre traditions of the French Quarter. Built in 1831, the three-story edifice was the home of Dr. Louis Lalaurie and his fashionable wife Delphine, esteemed for her elegant balls as well as for her charitable work among the sick and the poor. 1834, when a fire broke out in the Lalaurie residence. Firemen smashed open a locked interior door and came upon a scene surpassing horror: There, chained and suffocating in the heat and smoke, were seven starved and severely beaten slaves. Upstairs, in a sort of macabre laboratory, the fire patrol found more slaves, some dead, others barely alive with limbs amputated or purposefully deformed. Preserved organs and other body parts completed the picture.

Money mysterious photos occur often at the Lalularie house. Balcony ghost photos and haunted videos usually show orbs, strands of mist and the figures of a ghost or two walking it’s legnth.

2. St. Louis cemetery Number 1

Considered by locals visitors and paranormal investigators world wide as actually the most haunted cemetery No. # 1 haunted Cemetery in all the United States.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Some of the more interesting tombs in St. Louis Number One are a huge tomb that holds the remains of some of the participants in the Battle of New Orleans; chess champion Paul Morphy; New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial. But the most famous and interesting tomb here is said to be where Voodoo Queen Marie Leveaux is buried. People still visit her tomb to light candles, perform various religious acts and leave offerings. New Orleans’ first black mayor, Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial is buried right next to her.

Across the street, with its front facing N. Rampart St., is Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, which originally was the mortuary chapel built to handle the funerals and last rites of victims of yellow fever in 1826. It is the oldest surviving church in the city.

Vault burial was introduced in New Orleans during the Spanish regime, and our oldest cemetery — St. Louis No. 1 (1789) — has society tombs built by the French Society, the Portuguese Benevolent Association, the Cervantes Mutual Benefit Society, the Italian Society, and the Orleans Battalion of Artillery.

This New Orleans graveyard is said to be haunted by the ghost of the world famous Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau. Her spirit has been reported inside of the cemetery, walking between the tombs wearing a red and white turban with seven knots in it, and mumbling a original New Orleans Santeria Voodoo curse to Cemetery trespassers. Her Voodoo curse is loud and very audible, heard often by passerby’s on nearby Rampart Street. Locals say this has started in recent years for she is alarmed by the many vandals and state of the cemetery.

3. Le Pavilion Hotel

A paranormal research team identified four ghosts at LePavillon including a 19th century teenage girl, a young aristocratic couple from the 1920’s, and a dapper gentleman from the same era who likes to play pranks on the cleaning staff.

Le Pavilions’ sister hotel the Driskill, in Austin, Texas is also reported to be very haunted also.

4. Arnaud’s Restaurant

In other cities, gourmands may get excited about a restaurant one minute and the next minute, the spot has been turned into a hardware store. Not so in old New Orleans, where restaurants can become part of the family. None of these moreso, it seems, than Arnaud’s. New Orleans families have been visiting Arnaud’s for generations, choosing it as the location where they want to commemorate their most important family events and milestones.

Founded by a colorful French wine salesman names Arnaud Cazenave, Arnaud’s recently celebrated 80 years of serving New Orleans families and visitors the finest cuisine in a classic atmosphere that speaks of Old World grandeur and a simpler time.

In fact, so beloved has this dining institution become to New Orleanians that many have simply decided to spend eternity there.

Arnaud Cazenave is said to be the most active spirit in the restaurant, perhaps still hanging around to make sure that everything is being kept in order and to his liking. Cazenave, whom most New Orleanians came to call Count Arnaud, for no apparent reason as he was not nobility, was a stickler for service in the grand French style, and it is likely he still maintains these standards today. If silverware and napkins are not set to his liking, the staff says he has no qualms about moving them; If he does not like the set up at the bar, he will rearrange it until he does. The kitchen, the service areas, no space is off-limits to the ghost of Count Arnaud.

Just before Count Arnaud died, he let it be known that his successor was to be his daughter Germaine Cazenave Wells who guided the venerable institution through many years.

The Germaine Cazenave Wells Mardi Gras Museum was opened at Arnaud’s Restaurant in her honor in 1983 by then-proprietor Archie A. Casbarian. Open free to the public during restaurant hours, the collection of Carnival court gowns, costumes and other memorabilia made in France provides a rare glimpse of the private side of Mardi Gras.

The museum has two basic themes-what Mardi Gras is and who Mrs. Wells and her family were. The museum brings together more than two dozen lavish Mardi Gras costumes, including 13 of Mrs. Wells’ queen costumes, one of her mother’s and one of her daughter’s, as well as four king’s costumes worn by Count Arnaud, (whose title was entirely local and honorary) and six children’s costumes.

The spirit of Germaine Cazenave is said to haunt this area of the restaurant and Mardi Gras Museum most frequently. There have been reports from employees and patrons who have been startled to see a misty form appear among the many Mardi Gras gowns and keepsakes. That misty form is said to be the daughter of Count Arnaud.

The restaurant serves classic Creole dishes, including the Count’s own spicy recipe forRemoulade Sauce. The restaurant features many dining rooms and the French 75 bar.

813 Bienville St, New Orleans, LA 70112-3121

5. Canal Street at City Park Avenue

One drive through this major city intersection and it’s obvious to see why the area ranks number one on our list of Haunted New Orleans Streets. This major intersection once marked the outermost limits of the old city of New Orleans and is a location where an amazing thirteen cemeteries converge. Beyond the intersection is the median (in New Orleans vernacular, the “neutral ground”) that once was the location of the New Basin Canal: in itself yet another graveyard for so many Irish, German and Italian immigrants died in digging it and all of them were buried where they fell.

Haunted Location of the week: The City Cemetery in Port-Au-Prince

Author: admin

This weeks haunted location is the City Cemetery in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, is frequented by ghastly apparitions of the cities dead and cursed souls of voodoo believers. The past few years, the cemetery has been plundered by grave robbers who sell casket handles, shoes, and anything else they can salvage from the tombs of the departed. The grave robbing has upset the rest of those buried here and as a result many are now roaming about stuck in between this world and the next because of voodoo magic.

When most of us think of “voodoo”, we imagine dark forces and scary dolls, but in reality, voodoo is essentially a religion based upon the foundation that all of Creation is “divine”, and thus infused with divine energy that can be “tapped in to” by its practitioners; this power can be used for good or for evil. However in most cases in Haiti only the evil side is practiced and therefore a virtual army of the dead haunt this cemetery in order to protect it and scare off grave robbers.

As a result of a voodoo ritual the most vocal spirit is bound to this location forever to prevent it from possessing anyone in the future as it had done so in the past. The spirit of Ezili Dantar will try to harm you posses you or do anything possible in an attempt to escape the voodoo binding ceremony performed here in 1798.

I would say this is in my opinion one of the 10 most haunted locations in the world and warn you not to visit this location alone.

Haunted Location of the week The Birdcage Theatre

Author: admin

After much thought I’ve decided to revive a former tradition of mine and try to bring you a new haunted location each and every week. The honor of being the first new haunted location I list goes to The Birdcage Theatre in Tombstone Arizona.


r9n8jp0o5kfkdiroiwjf.jpg


The Birdcage Theatre is a really interesting location in the “Town to tough to die” with documented 26 murdersand there are 145 documented bullet holes. This was the happening place back in the 1800’s with all night faro games, bluff poker and exotic ladies who loved to show the men a good time.

If you have the gift of “sight” this probably isn’t the place for you as even though it may just be a not so crowded museum for the living on any given night this place is packed with nearly 100 or so ghosts looking to recreate past events and have a bit of fun. I remember when I visited The Birdcage I nearly ran out screaming not realizing that the guys shooting guns were actually the ghosts of Curly Bill and Doc Holliday and they were just having a handkerchief fight. Now I probably looked like a complete nut job but this was way before I learned I had the gift of sight and how to control it.


yng1kpdtawe5lvbybj3.jpg


When you first enter the room of the Bircage with the stage most people are actually greeted by the ghost of Morgan Earp. He’s a real friendly guy however he seems to be a bit over protective of a particular pool table found inside the room.  On some nights you’ll actually see the entire Earp clan and on those nights you can feel the detest 99% of the towns folk feel for them.

If your wondering why this place is so hunted, in my opinion it is because it contains so many objects that these people were fond of in the past plus it has one of the main hearse coaches used to take a lot of these people to their graves on Boothill.

Ghosts of Disney World

Author: admin

What pops into your head of when someone says the words “Disney World”? Do you think of Mickey Mouse, Epcot Center, or maybe Cinderella’s Castle? One thing you in all likelihood you do not tend to think of are ghosts… other than perhaps the Haunted Mansion, that is. You might believe it is impossible that Disney World, of all places, can be haunted. Nevertheless accounts of Disney World hauntings do exist. Here are a a couple of ghosts who have been reportedly encountered at the Park:

You could encounter many Disney World ghosts at Spaceship Earth. One ghost is a little girl with long, blond hair who’s been spotted riding in a car. Another is a young boy who loves to hang around the girl. He will run in front of her and disappear into thin air. This occurs outside during daylight hours because he is afraid of the dark.

At the Tower of Terror, there is  a ghost that walks around during closed hours when visitors are not around. Whenever  he is seen, he is always walking in the wrong direction. Whenever employee’s call him he doesn’t respond because he’s deaf. If he discovers he is noticed he’ll just disappear.

At the Pirates Of the Caribbean ride, the ghost of a former employee named George hangs out daily. When it was being built in the early 1970s, he was a welder who welded different pieces of the Pirates attraction. George was killed at the park when a beam fell on him during construction.

Pirates of the Carribian ghosts

Every morning and evening  before the ride opens and before the employees head home after closing, they say hello and good night over the PA system. There is  a beleif that if they do not do that, the ride will shut itself down (it’s actually done so occasionally). Ask almost anyone who has worked at this ride and they’ll probably tell you that they’ve had an encounter with George or know somebody who has.

The next time you take a trip to the happiest place on earth and would like to go on the Pirates Of the Caribbean, the Tower of Terror, Spaceship Earth, or you are simply walking down in front of Cinderella’s castle where shadowpeople frequent, keep an eye out and ask some employee about any Disney World ghost stories they’ve heard. Perhaps you will get lucky (or unlucky) and experience one of these Disney World hauntings yourself on your next trip to the happiest place on earth.

Old Cuchillo Bar

Author: admin

The onetime proprietor of a one hundred eighty year-old adobe brick building hears the door of a potbellied cooking stove opening and wood being piled inside, but nobody  is there.

Mystical rustlings echo in the latest proprietors ear. Things fall off shelves for no obvious reason.

These are merely a couple of of the unusual goings-on that artist Josh Bond, proprietor of the Old Cuchillo Bar in the southern New Mexico ghost town of the same name, has called for the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society to look into on his property.

“The creepiest I had was a voice whisper in my ear,” Bond said. “When things fall in the house, I just sort of write it off.”

When he came across an ad about WCGAPS, a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization, Bond believed the group may at least explain what was happening.

Andy Rice, who started WCGAPS about 2 years ago after investigating more than two hundred alleged hauntings and ghosts over more than thirteen years, said the group tries to explain the enigmas their customers relate to them applying science or common sense.

Only around five percent of the group’s investigations can not be explained by electromagnetic radiation, thin walls, defective wiring, lights from passing automobiles or other natural explanations, said Rice, who titled his investigators not ghost hunters, but ghost debunkers.

WCGAPS is booked through July with investigations, primarily in the southwestern United States. Rice said the historic value of the Cuchillo property caused it to stick out amidst the places calling for the group’s services.

The Old Cuchillo Bar dates to 1830 when it was a stage stop. Once, cargo was offloaded and driven by wagon to nearby mines in Winston or Chloride.

The five thousand sq ft complex has housed a general store, horse barn, mercantile, post office, hotel and bar over the years.

“It just has a lot of history, that place does,” said Gayle Shepperd, who owned the property with her husband, Harold, from 1978 to 2006. “I’ve heard tales of poker parties and a lot things like that going on.”

In modern years, the facility was utilized for wedding and baby showers and the trading post was where visitors stopped to inquire which residents were still amidst the town’s tapering population.

At one time it was home to 2,000 people and the hub of the county, Cuchillo has about thirty-five occupants, Bond said.

Like Bond, Shepperd also recalled peculiar things, like hearing the sound of somebody starting the wood cooking stove.

“I distinctly heard somebody putting wood into the fire. I looked in there and there was nobody,” she said. “We said, ‘Well, our ghosts are at play.’ We just discounted it.”

Shepperd put to rest at least one mystery: a trio of guns Bond had found wrapped in a sack in an empty grain bin.

“My mother put those there,” she said, explaining that her mother used the empty bins for storage.

Bond, thirty-six, an artist who builds metal sculptures and home furnishings, purchased the complex in 2006 and has finished up refurbishing the old hotel into a 3-bedroom vacation rental or artist hideaway. He hopes to open a microbrewery in the old bar.

Bond seemed ambivalent about whether the property is haunted.

“These people claim to debunk it scientifically. I write it off to coincidence many times in my mind, but I’d like to see it proved scientifically,” he said.

Rice said he’s not out to sway people to believe in the paranormal.

“Till they have a individual experience, I cannot change someone’s belief,” he said. “I don’t take the time to try to convince them, because it is a useless argument.”

Rice, a business analyst, said he became involved in investigating reports of hauntings after researching a deserted house with acquaintances.

At the top of a staircase while his friends were on the steps below him, he said, someone or something pushed him down the stairs, lifting him off the floor and leaving scratch marks on his back.

The experience led Rice to work about forty to sixty hours per week for WCGAPS, looking into hauntings for free and seeking donations. He hopes in a lot of instances he can put customers’ anxiety to rest.

“I’m hoping to go out and calm their fears. Other than my first experience, I have never experienced anything that’s harmful. I want to explain what’s there, whether there’s something or nothing,” Rice said.

For the investigation at Cuchillo, Rice says he will research area construction codes and the site’s history, talk with occupants, review the property’s title history and look at photos of the original constructions.

He and 7 other investigators will bring cameras and video and audio equipment to record noises or anything discovered in the constructions. Opposed to some other “ghost hunters,” Rice said he does not employ psychics to find ghosts.

WCGAPS’s internet site contains audio links to alleged paranormal phenomena, like voices, which Rice says do not fall under the normal frequency for human voices.

Other than the push down the stairway, Rice said he’s heard or seen a couple of unusual things, like the “full-body apparition” of a adult female he saw move across Monti’s La Casa Vieja restaurant in Tempe, Arizona, which is housed in the city’s original pioneer home.

Did he capture the image?

“It was exactly where we didn’t have a camera placed,” Rice said, but a camera did record his and the other investigator’s reactions to the figure.

Frequently hotels or restaurants hope WCGAPS will substantiate something paranormal because it is good for business, but proprietors of private houses commonly are relieved when their haunting is explained, Rice said.

As for Bond, “I’ve really kind of lived in denial of the fact, but I’m curious to know.”

Reader submited: The Queen Mary

Author: admin

One Sunday afternoon my family decided to take a day trip to Long Beach and i, being the ghost fanatic and all, suggested the Queen Mary. So we decided to go there. When we got there we went to the counter and purchased tickets for the Ghost Encounters Tour. We were informed that the tour allows you to visit the swimming pool area and the lowest and deepest parts of the ship and the tour itself is about a little over an hour long. So my family and i met the tour guide along with all the other people taking the tour and we began our journey to the bottom of the ship. Let me first start off by saying that i am a BIG ghost fanatic…but i never expected to witness or experience anything because i thought only the lucky ones could have experiences. Anyways continuing on…our tour gets to the part where the boiler and ship gadgets and machinery are and the tour guide begins to tell us of a tragic incident that happened way back when the ship was sailing and functioning. He tells us about this young man who was doing his duties and managing the machinery, when suddenly the young man was walking through these steel doors from the ship and he was crushed to death horizontally as he tried to walk through this door labeled door 13. So in my head i was thinking of the helplessness this man must have experienced and such a sudden death. So anyways as the tour guide finished his story my dad and i were the last ones to exit the machinery room…when from out of nowhere i saw this black solid figure of a man standing to my right behind the machinery. I stared at it for a good 10 seconds or so and then i quickly turned away in disbelief. When i looked back in that direction the figure was no longer there. I could’nt believe what i had just seen..it was so unexpected and completely incredible…i witnessed for the very first time a ghost. So with that being said..i encourage anyone, if you are in the area of Long Beach, go and take a visit at the Queen Mary and go explore the ship for yourself.

World Trade Center Ghosts

Author: admin

I know it might seem a bit tacky or in bad taste to talk about but The World Trade Center and “investigating “ground zero” but it is a hot bed of paranormal activity and has many ghosts. The ghost are crawling all over the place because of the tragic and sudden way they passed.

When I even just think about the World Trade Center my mind gets heavy with feeling and after a few minutes I am almost to the point of passing out. I can just imagine what would happen if I were to actually visit the ghosts at ground zero. I hope the day never comes where a ghost hunting show is granted permission to investigate the site because I believe some spirits deserve a break and we should respect those who died on September 11th 2001 because it’s the right thing to do.

I’ve heard stories about Chip Coffey, John Edward and other medium’s taking money to do readings for family members who lost loved ones on that day and I think any medium who charges anybody especially these people money should be flogged. Please respect the spirits and more importantly have respect for the living loved ones the left behind.
