Hauntings are a farce.

Yes, there is a house in amityville. The movie(s) sensationalize it a bit but the people(s) who have lived there swear, as does the priest, about unexplained happenings. They took a large loss when they moved from the house. \n\nThere are people who live there now who claim to have heard and seen nothing.

GHOSTS? Yes. In the summer of 1977 a ghost took up residency in my electric fan. It was very entertaining. Had a penchant for ABBA tunes and sang to me in a weird electric voice. It lasted for just a few months then disappeared. I still miss the ghost.  \nWITCHES? Yes. I went to elementary school with a girl whose father was a Warlock. Nice guy but those big bushy eyebrows made him look scary.  \nKELPIE? Yes. When I was very young I saw a "pony" swimming in a bayou in Baywood, Louisiana. I ran home and told my Grandad about the swimming pony. Grandad asked me what color it' eyes were. Red I told him. Grandad became excited and told me it wasn't a pony at all. He called it a Kelpie. He said a Kelpie was a water "imp" that took the guise of a horse to entice innocent folk into the water with it. Once the victim entered the water the Kelpie would return to it's true demonic form and drown the happless swimmer.  Grandad forbade me to return to the bayou ever again and I never did.\nBLOODY MARY? Yes. I remember some years back I was dining at a truck-stop. A drunken trucker was dared into saying "Bloody Mary's" name three times. He did. After the 3rd time he excused himself to use the bathroom. He never returned. The cook went into the bathroom to see if he was ok. The bathroom was empty and quiet except for a broken mirror over the sink. No trace of the trucker at all. I heard his Semi stayed parked at the truck stop for 4 days before it was towed.\nVAMPIRES? Yes. I saw one years ago as a spectator at a carnival. He was a pale, bald, bony man dressed in black & gray. He was wiping his mouth of what looked like ketchup. He caught me watching him. I felt uncomfortable and turned to walk away. As I did I faced a Fun-House mirror. There was no reflection of the strange man. He was right behind me! Surely there would be a reflection! There wasn't. That's when I realized he was a vampire. I ran through the mid-way until I caught up with my friends. I never told them about the vampire because I knew they would never believe me. \nJACK the RIPPER? Yes. There is documented proof Jack the Ripper existed. The question is who do you believe he was? Some Historians say he was a respected Surgeon others believe he was a prominent member of High Society while others claim he was a member of Brittain's Royal Family. Me? I'd have to go with the Surgeon theory because of the proffessionalism of the knife wounds. Experts claim the wounds were very precise and were administered with expertise. \nCANDYMAN? Yes. The legend of the Candyman is just a variation of the "Bloody Mary" legend. They are one and the same theory but the Bloody Mary legend is much older than the Candyman .  \nBLACK CAT THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH? Absolutely. A black cat has no supernatural powers ......unless it is a "Familiar" sent by a witch to cast a spell. A familiar is an animal (cat, owl, rodent, wolf, etc.) charmed by a witch or other sorcerror to cut-off or "cross" an intended victims path. By doing so the essence of the spell or curse will possess the victim. Folk-lore has it....since the animals were small or at least not very large they were only capable of containing mild spells like clumsiness or "bad luck". Fortunately A cursed black cat is the only supernatural element I have not encountered in my strange and very eventful life (aside from Jack the Ripper that is!)...So far!

thanks for that fantastic site.  i looked some stuff up...  not bad, not bad, but it could be better.\n\nthe monticello/crying baby bridge.\ni've been there.  it is not an urban legend, though the story i've heard is different.  there wasn't a 2-buggy crash, as much as one just went off the bridge.  the man and wife escaped, but the baby they were unable to rescue.  those old bridges in the back farm areas of illinois only have two slats for your wheels, so if you mess up it's the river for you!  the bridges are still there.. o'er the sangamon river.  ...  in fact, the whole area around the sangamon river is haunted.\n\nthe champaign/university of illinois--any building.  they're ALL haunted.  university high school is haunted, as well.  you can even feel their presence (yes, multiples) during at midday.  in fact, the champaign, urbana, savoy area (for those of you who don't know, they're basically all connected.. even have a tri-city bus system.  all cemetaries are haunted.  all old buildings are haunted.  the whole place is a veritable hot-spot of activity.  heck, right now i work in a little "mall" on campus... which is more haunted than any cemetary.  the ghostie there is quite the prankster, and takes delight in scaring you.  nothing malicious, of course!  heck, if i were a ghost, i'd haunt people like that, too!  he likes to stomp up and down the stairs late at night, making noises, and laughs when you go to check them out.

dudleyville in cornwall, also there was a true movie on\ntv recently about a family that moved into what was once a \nfuneral home and very haunted by very scary entities. \ni am sure that the warrens here in connecticut would know of\nprobably more haunted places.

No Fire & Brimstone here...\nFour years ago, a few friends and I made the trek from Melbourne to Junee In New South Wales to visit a homestead called Monte Cristo.\nIt's a tourist attraction now, reputed to be Australia's most haunted house.\nThe owners of the property actually live on site, and invite tourists to spend the night, and take the tour. My girlfriend at the time wasn't pleased, so we opted for a cabin in the hills.\nIt was a gorgeous summer night, and the tour was fascinating. Later, as we went to leave, we all piled into the car, and my girlfriends seat was soaked, from top to bottom in a cold, clammy residue. Nothing else in the car was affected.\nWe photographed it, and her clothing after she jumped out of the car screaming.....\nWhen we arrived at the cabin we were staying in, there was no trace of the strange gel. Not in the car, or on her clothing.\nThe photo's clearly show it, yet 15 minutes later, there was nothing to see.\nProbably not the cool kind of story you were after, but it has us wondering, to this day.

I'm not from Maine, but here you go:\n\nhttp://theshadowlands.net/places/maine.htm\n\nI've been to several of the places this site lists in NH, but haven't seen anything - yet. Good luck...\n\nYou may also want to check these out, but the one above is the most comprehensive:\nhttp://www.ghostvillage.com/ghostcommunity/index.php?showtopic=524\n\nhttp://www.hollowhill.com/me/me.htm\n\nedit: unable to contact you via email. If you do visit, I highly recommend taking the hour or so drive to visit the Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. I've been, but not at night as it is heavily policed now.\n\nhttp://www.hollowhill.com/nh/gilson.htm

Not the oldest i know, but i used to work in Ye Olde Dolphin Inne in Derby, which dates back to 1540. Really nice and cosy pub if you are in Derby (its by the Cathedral)\n\nIt was suppossed to be haunted, as all pubs over 100 years old are of course!!!!!

Oh! How fun! I have been on a couple excursions with some friends of mine. Start up convos easing in on the belief of ghosts with some people and see If they want to check out some of the local "haunts" in your area. Look up places on the internet...Its possible to find others who won't think you're weird.

There's supposably one in a church near Lawrence, Ks in a town called Stull, I think.  Missed my chance to check it out and I think it's been torn down, but I know people who claim they've seen things there, although they were too scared to get close or go inside the place.

I live near Effingham and judge when the mushrooms are out by the number of cars parked next to the road in the timber on my way home from work.  Thus far I have seen none.  I will update you if the situation changes
