| Much more than meets the eyes |
"No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the company, a part of the men. Any man's death diminshes me. Never assume to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 14 minutes, 41 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: Orbs of light SUMMARY: People have seen orbs of light floating around the tree at night.
A ghostly Man has been seen in an old truck reading a newspaper. The truck is sitting in an impossible place. The truck back is sitting next to an 8 foot ditch and the rest is surrounded by thick woods. BRIEF: "a white humanoid ghost that chases people" SUMMARY: Stories of torture abound but not all of them are founded in fact. A place like Kings Park may seem creepy and it may make people think that something shady is going on. One rumor states that there are secret rooms in the tunnels where patients were beaten, tortured, and who knows what else. There is even a set up in the basement of a building where a cement block was supposedly slammed into patients while seated on a chair. This picture on the right was probably set up afterwards by explorers for effect. From photos we have received and stories from fans we believe every corner of the tunnels to have been explored by contributors to our site and there are no secret torture chambers. Most of the tunnels look just like the second photo on the right. They were used for steam. This is not to say of course that no mistreatment of patients ever occurred, it did happen. There are always odd people in any system that will corrupt it. Patient abuse is just as likely to take place in a dayroom than in the tunnels, also keep in mind the active tunnel would be over 100 degrees. --lioddities.com BRIEF: Tomahawk Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Tomahawk WV SUMMARY: Tomahawk Cemetery is behind Tomahawk Presbyterian church on Presbyterian Church Road in Berkeley County, close to Hedgesville WV BRIEF: Bodies from trees, a shocking sight. SUMMARY: A couple went to enjoy the evening and sunset over the water at Public Landing. It was a summer evening, and a violent thunderstorm came up. As the couple was gathering themselves up ready to leave, they heard the sounds of trees creaking and the sound of choking and moaning. Then as the lighting flashed, they saw ghostly bodies of 10 to 12 men just hanging from the trees that were close to the boat landing. BRIEF: Former caretaker still hustles about the church at night. SUMMARY: Zion Lutheren Church in Williamsport, Maryland is haunted by a friendly ghost who sometimes likes to move things to her pleasing. Supposedly a former caretaker of the church and dubbed 'Granny' by the church staff who encounter her today, she can sometimes be heard walking through the church at night. Occasionaly swtiching light switches that are left on or moving random objects. Not a ghost to be feared, but just a spirit who may be there to lend a helping hand. BRIEF: Sarah's still hanging around SUMMARY: One resident recounts several tales and experiences of what several people believe is the ghostly spirit of "Sarah". BRIEF: visible Bloodstains on a tombstone SUMMARY: Graveyard where a Tombstone is spattered with blood and an entity lurking just out of visual range. BRIEF: Several murders, unhappy energies. SUMMARY: The Starner Dam is reportedly haunted. People drowned in the river at its location before the dam was built. People have committed suicide there, and people have dumped murdered bodies here. One murder victim's body was found as recently as 18 February 1993. His body was in the snow-covered fishing area near Starner's Dam. The autopsy revealed that he had been shot twice in the head by a gun that was fired while held against his head. The police discovered that his wife had him murdered by her lover. BRIEF: An old cemetery and underground room SUMMARY: In woods near Baltimore's Loch Raven Reservoir lies an old cemetery and underground room. Nearby is the Harryman Cemetery, resting place of Sarah Gorsuch, various Harrymans and a few Merrymans. Also nearby are at least two unknown cemeteries, according to the maps underneath two current houses. BRIEF: Torso ghosts are extraordinarily creepy. SUMMARY: The SAE Fraternity House is haunted by ghostly soldiers who have been seen by several people. Residents have heard strange noises that can not be explained, including the sounds of footsteps walking throughout the building. Some ghostly apparitions of the soldiers appear only in part, most often they do not have legs. These ghosts have been seen floating through the room of the building. BRIEF: Between two locks. SUMMARY: Further up River Road along the Potomac, Bretton Woods Golf Course sits between two locks, Violettes and Rileys, on the C&O Canal. This area, called "Seneca," was well-travelled by slaves escaping along the Underground Railroad. BRIEF: The oldest state park in West Virginia has its own resident ghost. SUMMARY: The area of Droop Mountain was the location of the last crucial Civil War battle. It took place on November 6, 1863. Union troops attacked the Confederates whose troops were on the ridge crest. The Union attacked the right, left and rear, forcing the Confederates off of the summit. BRIEF: A ghost named Wanda and a little boy haunts the Butz Hall. SUMMARY: Although the officials will not tell you, apparently Wanda was on the last thread. BRIEF: The stairs and house where the infamous movie was filmed SUMMARY: The Exorcist was filmed using these stairs and this adjacent residence. BRIEF: Several buildings, several hauntings. SUMMARY: The UMBC campus was formerly part of Spring Grove property, and you can almost always feel something strange in the air. It was a farm owned by the hospital that was used to grow food.
Spring Grove was one of the nation's first mental institutions. The college had problems with Spring Grove patients wandering onto UMBC campus. The campus was not only haunted by the live patients but also by a few ghosts. BRIEF: House used as a hospital during the battle of Gettysburg SUMMARY: The Hummelbaugh house on the battlefield at Gettysburg was used as a field hospital by the Union army. A mortally wounded Confederate brigadier general died in the house and it is said that the man's loyal dog haunts the property to this day. The house is a private residence and not open to the public. BRIEF: A ghost named Eli has been known to close doors, move objects, and communicate by using objects in this museum. SUMMARY: A ghost named Eli has been known to close doors, move objects, and communicate by using objects in this museum. BRIEF: All five of these buildings on campus have had numerous reports of apparitions and strange sounds.

BRIEF: Ghost from second-floor suicide remains SUMMARY: Ever since an employee committed suicide on the second floor, janitors and watchmen have reported oddness with the elevator, especially on certain days.
