Virginia:
Blacksburg - A women walks through the walls of the tunnel and then vanishes during the day.

There are no tunnels in Blacksburg. Can you be any less descriptive?

Clifton - Bunnyman bridge - a man who escaped from a mental institution hid in a tunnel under a bridge where he hung people. It is called Bunnyman because when searchers looked for the man they found the carcass of rabbits. His ghost still haunts the bridge and sightings of people seen hanging from the bridge are common.

Yeah, a mental patient captured people, took them under his bridge, and hung them, and nobody has heard about this? :roll:

Fairfax - George Mason University - Gazebo - A small gazebo bordering the campus lake is said to be frequented by the spirit of a young man. He apparently drowned in the lake one evening. His body was found sitting in the gazebo by two females the next morning. Since that time, the man?s figure has been seen standing at the edge of the lake, or sitting in the gazebo. He has been known to beckon young women to come sit with him, and quickly disappearing when accommodated.

So if he drowned in the lake, how did his body get to the gazebo?

These sound like they were written by the same people who give snopes.com a reason for being.

Aw, no need to be so serious. Its all in good fun for people to go find these places. Its like a little bit of excitement, something different from the average college party. I never expected to find anything out our trip, but it really was great fun.
 
Apparently my town is a haven for ghosts:


Fremont - Bay Street Salon - When two of the stylist were the only ones in the salon, the bathroom door would lock somehow, and they would have to retrieve the key and unlock the door. The toilet would also flush automatically, and it is not an auto flush toilet. salon was previously a fire station, and a slaughter house.

Fremont - Lord Bradley's Bed & Breakfast Inn - Noises in the dead of night, heavy footsteps and apparitions. The former owner's daughter would see figures wearing Victorian style clothing.

Fremont - Morison Canyon Road - When you go down The Canyon road you will find an off ramp that will lead you down to a creek... That is if you can drive all the way down the road... As you go down the road you begin to hear knocking and at about half way down the road you will start to hear a small boy laughing... Story tells that a young boy was killed in the basement of a cottage at the end of the road...he was found by his parents hanging from the rafters, when his parents called the cops they told them that there was no body in the house but mass amounts of blood washing up at the creek banks... Legend tells that if you make it down the canyon you can still see blood washing up on the creek banks and hear a young boy laughing...No Trespassing

Fremont - Mission San Jose - Built in the late 1700's, Mission San Jose has had a lot of curious history. A fire destroyed the original Mission, and the 1906 earthquake leveled the old church. Both have been rebuilt, the church about 12 years ago and the mission in the 1800's. There are cold spots and mists in the mission itself, uncanny feelings and mists in the courtyard by the fountain. An old cemetery adjacent to the church is the site of many disturbances, including unexplained whispers and crying (several Fremont pioneers are buried here, as well as countless Natives). Also in the church itself, where there are graves in the floor in the Sanctuary and in front of the altar. Severe cold spits are felt near the graves. Across the street from the mission sits an historic tavern, where witnesses say they have seen several Native looking people in old clothing cross the street and disappear as soon as they enter the courtyard of the mission.

Fremont - Ohlone Burial Grounds - You can't enter the grounds because it is fenced off but you can read a large plaque designating it as an Ohlone Burial ground. Orbs have been photographed. It is down the road from Mission San Jose, which is very haunted. The Ohlone Indians who died at the Mission are buried here.

Fremont - Ohlone College - In the women's bathroom in building 3 there is the ghost of a woman wearing a blue '60s style dress. She appears in the mirror.

Fremont - Washington High School - old Senior Hall - the rest of the school was recently rebuilt, but the senior hall is part of the original plan. Students in there at night including myself have reported hearing more than one set of footsteps in the hall, even though they are the only ones in the hall.
 
haaha.. there's a ton of entries for Bakersfield.


anyway... I was burning a CD while reading this, and I jolted when the CD tray popped open when the burning was complete.
 
Uxbridge - Blackstone St. - There was sightings in the early 70s of a headless biker. Would bike up and down Blackstone St. and anybody driving down the road that saw him somehow disappeared.

Uxbridge - Michael Hoyt house - when you walk up by the front door of the house you hear screams and smashing of bottles. As you walk down to the water you hear people screaming in the water like there being pulled down like something is in there like a succubus reaching out for them.

Uxbridge - Montville House - house is 350 years old and many people have died in it. People have seen figures of an old woman and things tend to turn on and off by themselves. There is an old family burial ground in the back yard. Tenants often move in and out of this house frequently. The house is currently occupied.

Uxbridge - The Old Taft Tavern - sometimes in the middle of the night people would see ghost like features standing at the foot of there bed dressed in colonial clothing. You will hear girls, laughing very distinctively coming from the forbidden living room.

Uxbridge - Woods along Blackstone River -There have been several reports of a "Ghost Mill" that appears during the night. Several how have encountered the mill have reported seeing the mill on fire and a young child in a window. Some have run into the burning mill to find no child and then the mill disappears.
 
Yep
Ojai - Creek Road - There's 4 ghosts here that roam this road. One is a guy they call "Chairman" because he is burnt to a crisp. They say he stalks the road seeking revenge on who ever killed him. The 2nd ghost is a woman who rides her horse down the road recklessly till she comes to the curve where the horse rears up & she falls, breaks her neck & dies instantly. This is on the anniversary of her death & the scene replays till daybreak. The 3rd is a woman hitch hiking down the road in her blood soaked wedding dress. No one knows who she is or why she was killed on her wedding day or why she hitch hikes this road. The final ghost is of a motorcyclist who rides down the windy road at break neck speeds & navigates wonderfully considering he's headless.

Ojai - Ojai Valley Inn - Anyone that stays in room number 5 will hear banging in the closet, and a bad smell.
 
Dubuque - The Ham House - This building is said to be one of the most haunted places in Dubuque. It was once a large private residence, but is now a museum. People have experienced classic encounters such as cold breezes, strange voices and chills running down people's spines. Several of the caretakers have reported objects mysteriously out of place and lights flickering. There have even been reports of eerie cries coming from the servant's house, the master bedroom, and the nursery.

Dubuque - The Saul House - In 1992 a 14 year old boy killed himself with a knife in his home. And the people that have moved in have said that knifes have been lying in an x on the exact spot he killed himself.

 
Bartlett - Sunrise Park - There was a man in his mid 40s where he had a house by the trees and was right next to a school. People have weird tingling in there back and when they turn around it gets very hard to breathe. PLUS THERE HAS BEEN SCREMING IN THE WOODS OF THE PARK. Later then his house had to be destroyed because of complaints from the parents. So then he got revenge on the children by killing them every day from the mid 1800s to now. then he would leave the bones in this little area surrounded by wood.. That is why Bartlett is so lightly populated today.

I live about 80' from that wooded area. My house was the 1st in the subdivision to go up, no one lived within a few miles before that. I have never heard of this, it is utter bull.

Bartlett - Munger road - They say if you park your car on the tracks and put it in neutral and put baby powder on the trunk, you will see fingerprints of a boy who got killed on those very tracks.

A guy I worked with jumped the tracks in his truck at well over 100, rolled 7 times, and hit a cop coming the other way.

St. Charles - Wayne - Munger Road. - A haunted road were many car lights have been seen and then disappeared. Also old insane asylum which is haunted. December Update 2003: the insane asylum has been knocked down. however, the rail road tracks are the big spot. rumors are that weird things happen on those tracks.

Bainbridge - Chagrin Valley Athletic Club - Library Guests complain of feeling somebody watching them, hearing a whip hitting someone and a little girl crying. The library was an old schoolhouse from the eighteen hundreds and a little girl was hit to death by her teacher.

WTF?? NO

Do you work there or something?
 
Duluth - East High School - Little Theater - The drama director of many years ago (initials RC) was writing a play, but before he could finish it, he fell off the balcony of the theater and died. No one has seen the play that he was writing. Then one day, it showed up on an English teacher's desk with a note on the old East High stationery saying "please perform this" with the initials "RC" on the bottom. The play has never been performed. The lights in the light room mysteriously turn on when the theater is dark. Many students say that it is cold in some parts of the theater, especially near the light board.

I've been there. I'm 90% sure that there isn't a balcony. Make that 95.
