Anyone been to the one in VIRGINIA BEACH?

It's like one of the top ones in the country. It was crazy. I could hear voices talking to us, but I didn't know until we got out of it, those were people in the house trying to scare us. I thought it was like recorded voices, but no.

There's a very old cemetary near me way down a long road in a wooded area where some people were burned alive in a chapel a hundred or so years ago. There's also a tree that allegedly used to be used for hanging that has a big lightning strike through it. It's so creepy out there.

People have said that you can see glowing red eyes in the distance at night there. I've never seen anything myself though.

oooh! These real haunted stories are the best!!

There's almost a faint whistling sound sometimes there. It's probably just the wind going through the cornstalks though.

In my house it was my grandfather (or so we think) Growing up I was never told about it (I was the youngest and they didn't want to scare me) But I always saw him, he just liked being with his family.

"Midwest, I think you ought to hold onto me regardless."

Okay.

The backyard of the house I grew up in touched this really old graveyard. There were actually some of the cemetery curbs in my backyard. Really creepy. I'd hear things, but never really see anything.

I spent 5 nights in a haunted room in a haunted inn in Concord Mass., the room was built in 1716. I didn't really see anything, but I have in the past.

I would have thought I would have seen a ghost by now in my job--but none. However, last winter, the pipes clanging from the steam heat did give me a scare.

At one of my friend's house the doors will open after you close them, and during the day they will leave with all the lights turned off and come home and all of them will be on. The will also sniff the air as if someone was there.

Stuff vanishes in my house. The most random stuff too. Like my wrinkle cream or my mom's Christmas sweater. We just ask "the ghost" nicely for it and it's usually found in the most obvious places afterwards, like my mom found her sweater neatly folded in the middle of her bed after hours of looking for it and my pimple cream was in the middle of the kitchen floor! Our TVs also turn on by themselves. Pretty cool actually.

One of my friends has had all kinds of crazy sh*t happen to her...this is just one story of many stories of hers, one night in her dorm room (i wasn't there) she and her bf were sitting on her bed and a few friends were sitting on the other bed across the room. All of a sudden the bed across the room started shaking! and of course they were all looking at each other like what the f*ck just happened! Around the time that happened she started seeing this dark figure in her room. Eventually she had her room blessed.

I want to visit a real haunted house, not one of those Halloween fun house type of things. For gods sake, I live in a small, old New England town with a Native American burial ground in it and I'm close to Salem. You'd think I could find a real haunted place pretty easily, but NOOO.

Theres this reinacment Fur trading post in my city (its fn huge) and every year they put on a Haunted Fort Night, and its mother fn scary. Its a whole story line while you walk around the fort. The thign thats freaky about it tho is the story line but the for itself because its in the middle of a forest and it is pretty much haunted to begin with.

Everyone who's been to DisneyWorld in Orlando is familiar with the Haunted Mansion. In Disneyland Paris, it's the "Haunted Manor" and is in Frontiertown. It features many of the same ideas that are in the Orlando version, but the story deals with a jilted bride of some sort. The story was told in French, which I understand, but the room was filled screaming Muslim children and I had a hard time hearing the narrative.

One novel excpetion in the Haunted Manor is that instead of the "ghost buddies" sitting beside you at pone oint of the adventure, he sits stop the cab you are riding in.
