| The twilight side of the netherworld |
I never knew if I really believed in ghosts until these experiences at Forest Glen.
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 13 minutes, 10 seconds until the Mayan end of Age. December 21 2012 (11:11am GMT). The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN = 584283). The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11 UTC. --wikipedia . See also "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

"We foster an environment of constructive peer review, the philosophy being the more active members out there thinking, observing and collecting evidence, the more likely someone is to produce something substantial and the more we all collectively learn. Another way to look at it: Every family has an eccentric member or two; we're the place where all those folks can collectively hang out and feel at home."
BRIEF: A Most Violent jail closes, leaving intense, negative energies swirling about. SUMMARY: Once considered to be one of the most violent jails ever; this facility was condemned and shut down in 1995. Now, instead of being one of the most violent jails ever, it is one of the most paranormal places ever! Footsteps, mysterious formations and many other horrifying experiences, including the acute feeling of being gutted alive, have been reported. BRIEF: The ghosts in the Stanley Hotel aren't evil as in the book. SUMMARY: The Stanley Hotel, known for its architecture, magnificent setting and famous visitors, may possibly be best known today for its inspirational role in Stephen King's novel "The Shining". The hotel has been featured as one of America’s most haunted hotels and with the numerous stories from visitors and staff, The Stanley Hotel continues to "shine" today, as it did in 1909 when first opened. BRIEF: Sightings of a "witch ghost" in the cemetery; puts flowers on childrens' graves. SUMMARY: Sightings have been reported of a "witch ghost" who, late at night, glides through the cemetery putting flowers on childrens' graves. BRIEF: A bad move SUMMARY: People claim that the cemetery is haunted because the souls are not at rest due to their earthly unrest. BRIEF: Wiles here allowed Jefferson's escape. SUMMARY: A flavorful, patriotic history and two ghost in the pink room, aka "ghost central." SUMMARY: This home was built in 1718 and has been known for its lovely box gardens. The house, however, is known for more than the lovely gardens. Visitors often hear strange voices and works in the garden when no one is there. No one can determine where the voices are coming from, and people do not venture into the garden after dark. Another stretch of land at Fairview that slopes down the lawn and meets the shore at Miles river had a headless man ghost that haunts the area. The ghost is believed to be a British sympathizer that still stands watch on the beach to guide the British ships into the harbor. On another road not far from the beach is another ghost that rides his horse madly along the winding road. This ghost has startled quite a few visitors. BRIEF: An old dirt road, 2 older graveyards SUMMARY: An old dirt road, 2 older graveyards BRIEF: Another old mansion that played a role in the Civil War SUMMARY: Arcadia Mansion is significant for its role in the Civil War. Because of General Lee's invasion of Maryland prior to the Battles of South Mountain and Antietam, Colonel Pendleton stayed at Arcadia after his journey from Leesburg and bivouacked his artillery along Ballenger Creek. BRIEF: CHILLS, VOICES ON THE MAIN STAIR WELL SUMMARY: MY CURRENT HUSBAND WORKED WITH THE SISTER WHO OWNS OR OWNED THE HOTEL IN 2001 BRIEF: A bad storm, a shipwreck, and at least one ghost. SUMMARY: Capt. James Drew was the captain of the DeBraak, a British naval ship. The ship sank at Cape Henlopen on May 25, 1798 as the result of a severe storm. The "ghost light" was apparently partly to blame. It phantom has been seen off the coast and appears to re-enact the disaster. BRIEF: Was John McCullough victim of murderous bullet or insanity? SUMMARY: Famed actor John McCullough was either shot dead (and murderously buried underneath the theatre), or he died in an insane asylum. A body apparently remain, un-exhumed, under the now cemented lowest levels of the theatre, but is it John's?
A rusty old gun was uncovered during recent renovations, igniting dispute and imagination all over again. Like the mysteries that surround Edgar Allan Poe's death (and final resting place), this case has all the seeming of a conundrum that is confounding meaning.
Meanwhile, it's tough to overstate the historical and ongoing importance of The National Theatre. BRIEF: Underground Railroad and other history have left spirits behind SUMMARY: The Belmont House was built in 1738. It sits on 82 acres of land. The mansion was built by Caleb Dorsey but is now owned by the American Chemical Society.
The "Belmont Conference" is an old estate that has been converted into a conference center. Workers at the conference center have heard the sounds of horses race up the long driveway; then, a knock is often heard at the front door. But, no one is ever there. BRIEF: Many sightings have been reported over the years, including weird noises, walking, doors shutting themselves, phantom singing, the chapel organ playing on its own, sightings of a priest walking across the main parking lot at night, and reports of a l SUMMARY: Many sightings have been reported over the years, including weird noises, walking, doors shutting themselves, phantom singing, the chapel organ playing on its own, sightings of a priest walking across the main parking lot at night, and reports of a little boy playing with a ball in and around the graveyard. BRIEF: Ghosts can be seen at night walking around the lake. SUMMARY: Ghosts can be seen at night walking around the lake. One is very common. She is called the night walker. She walks around the lake and sits on a bench. It looks like she is waiting for someone to come and see her. BRIEF: As cold as ice SUMMARY: A mischievous spirit haunts The Groomes Jewelry Store. Employees will set up attractive displays, but when they return to work in the morning they find jewelry moved around. There are cold spots in the store. The burglar alarm (has temperature sensors) has tripped often for no apparent reason. BRIEF: A horse's skull in the wall can't be a good thing... SUMMARY: The house was built in 1810. The Greens purchased the home and had it remodeled. One of the construction workers found a horse's skull in the wall of the dining room. The Green's horse died two weeks after the skull was found from unknown cause. The Greens feel that the finding of the skull was a foretelling of their horse's death.
