Here is a website I came across in class today. I was bored and thought about looking up haunted places and stuff like that.

This website below is a list of states.

I am in Nebraska and in my town we have a regional center. I beleive in it. One night a friend and I went there late one night. Driving around it and outside was a dentists chair in front of an abbandoned apartment building. We weren't scared so we walked up to the building and looked in the front doors and noticed some lights that were on. We walk around to the side and there was that chair.

Neither of us had enough guts to sit in it. When we walked away the chair turned towards us and moved forward. I never ran so fast in my life!

haha sweet, i love screwing around with this kind of stuff, i found this one in my area im really going to have to check out...

"American fork - American fork canyon - it is to be said that if you do three circles at the top of tibble fork parking lot you will come to the fork when exiting the canyon and a hearse will follow you and chase you with red lights "

I wish it was true, that would be awesome.

On a related note, does anyone watch supernatural on the WB? its about 2 brothers who deal with this stuff.

That's crazy - I was in one of those haunted buildings in my town last night. I didnt see anything tho.

Reading through some of those in my state....Nebraska....some of those made me think if they are true and I want find out if they are true.


Nebraska - Wayne - Wayne State College - Neihardt Hall - which is haunted by Cora, a young lady that killed herself in the basement. The Lay Theater that is haunted by a very mischievous ghost. The Willow Bowl which is said to be haunted by a young man that committed suicide there a few years ago. And a young girl who was playing in the tunnels when her ball rolled into a cubbyhole with bare electrical wires haunts the tunnels between the dorms. I've heard many friends tell me stories about this one.

Nebraska - Omaha - Lynch Park - You go there and you can hear footsteps of people running and the crying of a baby. One witness heard a man screaming saying,” It’s so cold, help me," and you could swear that you felt a man grab your leg. I don't think i'd like this to happen to me. I would seriously probably piss my pants.

These are just a few from my state. Any of you have some interesting ones from your state?

Fort Dodge - terror bridge - It has been said that a woman threw 3 of her 4 children off the bridge while a train was coming one of the 4 got away when you drive over the bridge at midnight your car will shutoff till your over the bridge and by her house where she hung herself and burnt down. if you go under the bridge her truck is still where she parked it. It is truly terrifying. it has also been said that you should lock your doors and roll up your windows or she will throw you over too.

I go there about once a year. I will have to see if this is true.

Cherokee - American Theatre - East Main St. - It has been said by the employees that work in this old movie theatre that the former owner, Mr. Goldie, haunts it. A previous theatre manager related a story about an incident that occurred to him, when he was all-alone in the theatre. Apparently on day as he was walking across the stage he looked out at the seats where the customers would sit. And he saw one seat about 3-4 rows from the front and 2 seats in rocking slowly all by itself. There are other stories to be told of the hauntings there, but all you need to do...is come, and visit with the staff at the American Theatre.

- About a 40 minute drive southwest from where I live, fairly familiar town to me.

Emmetsburg - Vacant lot behind Nauss Oil on Highway 18 - There once was a motel on this sight. The people that ran the motel lived in a house across the road for a while, then the motel was demolished but the drive way is still there. Sometimes an old man in a plaid shirt and chino slacks walks along the old drive way and stops 5 or 6 times like he is checking doors. The house across the street where the people lived was still standing in 2002 and they were renovating it.

Good school, always had a reputation for being good at sports, I attend track meets here. Also around a 40 minute drive northeast of here.

Estherville - Oak Hill - its a cemetery and there is this hill that is haunted. The story is that a car full of football players were going to their game and their car stalled on this very hill. So they all got out and started to push the car up this hill then a car came around this bend and didn’t see the football players and hit them. All of the players died. People say that if you put your car in neutral between these 2 markers you will go uphill because the football players push you up the hill because they don’t want you to get hit by another car. Another story is that two children who lived in the nearby mansion were playing in the road when they were run over and killed. When your car moves, it is the children pushing it off of them. Anyway, the going up hill sensation is caused by an optical illusion. For this to work, you must be headed downhill. In the place where you stop, the road levels off and appears to go up in comparison to the rest of the road. If you go down the hill and around the curve and look back, you will realize that the entire road does indeed go down hill.

Also attend track meets here, pretty close to E-Burg.

Laurens - infant cemetery - out in the middle of the country you will go up a hill on a gravel road. On top of that hill you will see an old run down white abandon house. To your left pushed back in the corner of A lot of trees you will see a small cemetery. No one has been buried here in years, and as you walk into the graveyard you will see to your left 3 small graves with the same last name. Legend has it that the three graves are from 3 little girls that lived in the house a long time ago until there father killed them. Some people went into the house and found a bunch of old toys and stuffed animals. Gusts of cold wind will blow as soon as you step out of your car, and many voices have been heard inside the small round cemetery.

- I go to school here, about 20 minutes southeast of where I live, I know exactly where this cemetery is, never gone in it though.

Spencer - Moose Pond - a long long time ago there was a boy ice fishing on the pond, It was getting late so the boy was starting to pack up when the ice broke he fell in the water which is 40ft deep and drowned. now if you go down there at 8:47 pm on the 23rd of December you can hear thumping on the ice and the screams of a young dying child.

- 20 minute drive north of me, not sure where Moose Pond is, this is where we go to the movie theaters and all that kinda stuff.

Storm Lake - Buena Vista University - McAllister Cottage - This location on College Ave, has been the home of six Buena Vista University Students who repeatedly saw, from their back porch, the spirit of a woman. Strange occurrences of lights turning on and off, as well as strange smells and hot musty drafts have also been encountered. The second McAllister cottage has since been demolished and made a parking lot.

Storm Lake - Swope Hall 305 - The ghosts name is Mary. Died of lead posening causing her to go crazy and jump out of the third floor window of her house that used to be located in the same location as Swope Hall Room 305. Likes to open and close doors, even when locked, and will open and close the closet doors of that room. Also will venture into other rooms and play pranks, especially with electrical equipment. - *Note: There is a false rumor around the college that she was a student and jumped out the window of 305, or that she lived in 305 and jumped off Smith Hall, but this has no historical backing and all of the people who have see talked to her have nothing from the conversations to support this.

- 25 minute drive south of me.


I've also been to Ames, Sioux City, Fort Dodge, Des Moines, and other cities quit often but wouldnt know where to find those places. This past halloween we went in two abandoned houses on Halloween, one near a cemetery where a father killed his daughters, and the other one just abandoned, nothing was too freaky about this, but then again there were 5 of us with baseball bats and two flashlights, although I'm not so sure I'd ever go there alone, or anything less then 3 people. The one house looks like the people just got up and left, as there is furniture, tv's, speakers, beds, and newspapers laying around and it's set back in the woods, on a pretty big farm with tall freakin' grass.

That would really make me crap my pants if you were in this house and all of a sudden the tv turns on and the chair moves. That would totally not be cool.

wow i checked every single one for utah these are addicting to read, so far it looks like we just planned on going to that canyon with the hearse this weekend, it apparently has a lot more in it further down the page, people say stuff like the devil owns that part of the woods, satanic worshippers go up there and sit around fires, there are even stories of people being chased by people in dark cloaks, it sounds like fun, i also think i'll be keeping an eye open whenever im in the bonneville salt flats also it sounds like something about people aimlessly walking around in the far off distance at night, sort of as a silhouette in the horizon, sounds sweet!

My work place is listed in Anna Il. Chaote has been around since 1869 and if someplace is going to be haunted it would be there. I have personally seen and heard some freaky shit in my 6+ years there. I was working on this one unit and about 4:15 am one morning my co-worker and I heard glass breaking and after a search of the entire building we didn't find one shard of broken glass.

Salina - Hottz House - 20 miles west of Salina - Old house in the middle of nowhere. This building had dated back from the time of slavery. You can hear footsteps late at night. Said that you can find a tunnel used to move slaves. But only few have found it. - December 2003 Update/correction: The home does in fact have tunnels in it and anyone that has ever been there knows this because the entrance to the tunnel is very visible and directly at the bottom of the basement stairs. While it is there it is not a tunnel ventured by many, The submitter to this update knows of nobody that has been in them, not because of the fact that they are scary but because of the fact that nearly year round its filled with water. The place is used by many satanic groups in the area for ritualistic purposes and is covered in satanic graffiti.

I am gonna have to go here...Its only an hour away.
Road Trip!
