Here's a great way to directly make your mark on and help support priceless history. Led by kmmouse.

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.

"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.

Haunts @ hauntsdb.com

Witches Tree

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.

Kings Park Psychiatric Center

Kings Park (Hamlet in Smithtown), Suffolk County, New York
AKA: KPPC
FKA: Kings Park State Hospital
AFKA: Kings Park Asylum

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

Tomahawk Cemetery

Hedgesville, Berkeley County, West Virginia
Part of: Tomahawk Presbyterian Church

BRIEF: Tomahawk Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Tomahawk WV

Lynching Tree

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.

Zion Lutheran Church

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.

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.

Bretton Woods Golf Course

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.
