We're building an organized and maintained "haunts database". We offer an unique melding of forums, pictures and file uploads that's powerful, flexible and purpose-built to make finding and sharing easy and fast. We also help friends keep in touch, individuals find groups and vice-versa, and investigators present their findings. Emailed to all members, activity, events and announcements reach many people quickly. If your group needs more members or is announcing an event, or if you're an individual seeking nearby groups, events or to be involved with investigations, we offer amplification and a good venue for finding and meeting your goals.

Membership is free, and all that's really expected is reasonable, civil participation. Members "get it" and get along while dicovering historical information, sharing personal experiences, discussing theories and opinions, collectively researching facts, and increasing enlightened understanding. Our site welcomes and rewards progressive, sensitive people.

East Ghost is meant to be unusual, informative, worthwhile and captivating, and we hope you thoroughly enjoy it. May you find your truth and help others find theirs.

Haunts Database

Biltmore Suites Hotel

BRIEF: Mrs. Madison was quite cross with Shirley.

SUMMARY: This hotel was once called the Shirley Hotel. It was named after the mistress of owner Sir Charles Madison. A bloody fued has apparently left an indellible mark.

Train Wreck

BRIEF: Many burned alive in the steel train cars; more died later.

SUMMARY: At 5:45pm, during the height of rush hour on a cold February 17 in 1996, an Amtrak passenger train bound for Chicago crashed head-on into a MARC local commuter train during a powerful snowstorm. 24 people were severely injured in addition to 12 people who variously died upon impact, burned to death, or suffered heart attack or cold shock immediately after the accident.

Patapsco Forest

BRIEF: Indian legend and lore.

SUMMARY: The Catonsville area was first settled by Indians in the primordial time of this continent. Catonsville was not established as a permanent village until 1200 AD. The natives who lived here had established a tribal government system.

Octagon

BRIEF: Long and colorful history

SUMMARY: This house was designed by William Thornton (the architect of the Capitol and Tudor Place) and was built in 1798. It is currently a museum. The Octagon is the oldest museum in the United States devoted to architecture and design, operated by the American Architectural Foundation. This building was designed by Dr. William Thornton for Col. John Tayloe III, and was constructed between 1799 and 1801.

Ammendale Normal Institute

Beltsville, Prince Georges County, Maryland
AKA: Christian Brothers; Ammen Institute; Amen Institute

BRIEF: "...a retirement home for old and dying priests."

SUMMARY: Some local residents in and around Beltsville, Maryland have reported seeing mysterious spirits of cloaked monks in and around an old mansion. That mansion, the Ammen Institute, was owned by a Catholic organization from about 1900. It reportedly "looks like a place that should be haunted."

Detroit Masonic Temple

BRIEF: The positively massive Masonic structure houses ghosts and plenty more

SUMMARY: This huge, gothic edifice was built in 1922 for the Masons, with the cornerstone being set using the same trowel that George Washington used to set the cornerstone of the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. Its 14 floors and 1,037 rooms house 50 masonic organizations, and, according to some, a fair amount of paranormal activity.

"When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." --P.J. Gaenir's grandfather

Dare! Chance favors the bold.
