"Violence always marks the end of a relationship." --diary of Ira Einhorn, CIA mind control victim
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 19 minutes, 25 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."

SUMMARY: Pennsylvania, with all its hills and mountains, has an hill where cars placed into neutral gear appear to "roll uphill" of their own accord. This particular gravity hill reportedly sports the sounds of horse hooves against pavement if the car's motor is turned off.

SUMMARY: A lady in white roams the halls in this hotel... BRIEF: The Historic Hilltop House Hotel in Harpers Ferry includes some unusual guests SUMMARY: Built in 1888 by African American proprietor Thomas S. Lovett, the hotel, built on a hilltop provides a splendid view of Harpers Ferry, WV and the Potomac river. The hotel, which still hosts guests even today has a long history including some tragedy events. Employees and guest alike have experienced the paranormal within the confines of this aging hotel. BRIEF: A principal who basically never goes home. SUMMARY: The school is haunted by a former principle. The ghostly woman has been seen walking up and down the halls of the middle school. The students did not like her because she was a rather cruel principle. She died during the school year and was buried on school grounds so as to be close to her favorite place, dearies. BRIEF: George Washington's great great grandfather. SUMMARY: William Ball built the Ballestone Mansion in the 1600s. Ball was the great-great grandfather of George Washington.

People have claimed to see ghostly apparitions dressed in period clothing. BRIEF: "Things are present which should not be." SUMMARY: Mount de Sales Academy is a Catholic school for girls. The school was built in the 1800's, however, and is reportedly haunted. BRIEF: Simple alley house with powerful paranormal energy SUMMARY: Along a typical alley in the Fells Point area, the unassuming edifice on South Regester Street conceals hidden paranormal energies. BRIEF: Whatever you do, do not sit in her lap! SUMMARY: There was a haunted grave at Druid Ridge Cemetery. General Felix Angus, the publisher of the Baltimore American, was buried in Pikesville's Druid Ridge Cemetery in the 1920's. A rather strange statue was placed on his grave. It was a large black mourning figure that the sculptor, August St. Gardens, called Grief. When darkness fell on the cemetery legends go people did not want to get near the statue. The statue earned the nickname of "Black Aggie". She became a symbol of terror and her legend grew and stories in the local newspaper would tell tale of occurrences. The legend states that the statue eyes glowed red at the stroke of midnight. The legend states that the any living person who returned her gaze was struck blind. Pregnant women who passed through her shadow would suffer miscarriages. A local college fraternity included Black Aggie in their initiation rites. The local frat initiates had to sit on Aggie's lap and one tale purports that "she once came to life and crushed a hapless freshman in her powerful grasp".
There is much, much more.
Spooky. See "Black Aggie" under http://carantics.com/haunts BRIEF: Evil use long ago leaves an urban legend and scars of curiousity SUMMARY: Devil Tree is located on Long Road.

In the early 1900's the building was the location of several executions by hanging. Several hauntings seemingly accompany this fact. BRIEF: A middle-aged apparition and a ghost dog round out this cast of characters SUMMARY: The building is haunted by a middle-aged man. He has been seen, in mirrors, walking, but when people turn around to look he vanishes. The ghostly spirit does not like crowds and prefers haunting the building late at night when it's empty. BRIEF: They fought each other SUMMARY: Veterans Haven is located next to bayside prison ward and Ancora Mental Institution. The psychiatric hospital had many patients living at the hospital.
