Allegan Michigan
I’ve investigated this building that was at one time a hospital, speakeasy and Elks Hall. A very interesting place with a checkered history.
I couldn’t get anything specific on audio or video tape. Just some personal experiences. For example I did the shave & a haircut routine. Got the 2 knock response several times and some heavy breaths on audio recording.
Other investigators said they saw shadow people moving about and cabinet doors opening and closing. Unfortunately I can’t do another visit any time soon.

The Sallie House
The Sallie House haunting is in a class by itself. There have been full-bodied apparitions and objects flying through the air. Items have moved, been misplaced or lost only to reappear or show up later or at another location. Phantom furniture has been heard along with thumps, thuds, knocks, scratching, and the sounds of animals and disembodied human voices. Although some have been heard with the naked ear, there have been an amazing amount of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) captured, further depicting the voices of men, women and children. Many have experienced extreme smells. Lastly, and most famously, there has been physical harm to the occupants and investigators in the form of scratches, burns and cuts. Although the majority of these attacks have often been centered on Tony Pickman, there have been a few others who have also been the focus of the physical harassment.

Ghost that loves snacks?
Yes, this could be faked but if you take the owner at his word, something strange does appear to be happening.
A special thanks to Crocker’s Optimistic Paranormal Society (COPS) for heading me to this clip.
Hannah House
The legend of Hannah House
The legends of the house say that prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Hannah’s staunch abolitionist views had led him to allow the house to be used as a station on the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves were brought into the house at night and given shelter until the following nightfall. Then, the Hannah’s would load the slaves into a wagon and they would be transported to the next station. We have to remember how dangerous this was, especially to a person of Hannah’s standing. This was a time when even assisting an injured runaway slave could be punishable by law.
Legend has it that one night, a lantern was overturned in the basement of the house and a number of slaves were trapped by the flames. Several of them burned to death. The fire did extensive damage to the basement and the lower floors of the house. While the fire was being put out, the source of the blaze had to be kept hidden and the fact that the house was an Underground Railroad station had to be covered up. Many believe that this this is the reason that no one knew the source of the haunting for so long. Or so it’s thought. Like many other legends, no one has been able to verify that this event actually occurred. As with other alleged locations on the Underground Railroad, hard facts are difficult to find. Due to the secretive nature of the operation as a whole, no written records were kept and so we have only oral tales to pass along. If the fire never took place then the house has been haunted for decades for unknown reasons but one this is sure, it has a long history of being haunted.
I was on the second floor in what I believe is called the “blue” room by myself. Two other investigators were on the second floor in the library. I was sitting on a chair when I heard some rustling noise coming from the doorway or hall. I took these pictures with a camera that was modified to take pictures in the infrared range. I did have an infrared light attached to the camera but there was no other lighting in the room. This is a series of still pictures take and put into video format. The first 3 pictures were taken about 30 seconds apart. The last picture was taken about 2 minutes later.

Emails after death?
Is this an actual attempt to reach out from the grave or a cruel joke?
When Jack Froese, 32, died of a heart arrhythmia in June 2011, he left behind a number of grieving friends and family members. But the BBC reports that several mysterious posthumous emails from Froese’s account have brought some happiness and closure to those who were closest to him.
Last November, five months after Froese’s death, his childhood best friend Tim Hart received an email from Froese’s account.
“One night in November, I was sitting on my couch, going through my emails on my phone and it popped up, ‘sender: Jack Froese.’ I turned ghost white when I read it,” Hart told the BBC. “It was very quick and short but to a point that only Jack and I could relate on.”

Save the Sedamsville Rectory
I just signed the following petition addressed to: The Town of Sedamsville.
—————-
To allow The Rectory to remain open to “Paranormal Researchers.”
The Sedamsville Rectory has brought people into the little town of Sedamsville. These people spend money in Sedamsville and are helping put money back into a struggling community in tough economic times. The community is now getting lots of positive attention and people are starting to see that with all the negative things that go on in Sedamsville, there are people that are trying to do good things for it.

Why This Is Important
The Sedamsville Rectory has brought people into the little town of Sedamsville.

The community is now getting lots of positive attention and people are starting to see that with all the negative things that go on in Sedamsville, there are people that are trying to do good things for it. Sedamsville, is minutes away from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ashmore Estates – Ashmore Illinois
Ashmore Estates has long been known as a haunted building. The building was for 20 years off-limits to the general public. Nestled in the small town of Ashmore in Central Illinois, Ashmore Estates has been seemingly abandoned for years. The Almshouse shares tales of their former residents who refuse to leave, keeping a watchful eye over the owners and tracking those who dare to venture in!
This 3 floor massive building built in 1916 was established on the County Poor Farm, to help those who had little or nothing. Pictures from the cemetery are available here. Poor farm residents resided there until 1956 when the building was turned into a house for the mentally disabled.
When it finally closed its doors for good in 1987,
some restless spirits chose to stay behind forever calling the estates their home. These apparitions have been seen walking through the building and captured on tape…allowing a chosen few a glimpse into their past!!! As you open your ears and listen…..these walls can talk!
(NOTE: The segment with Ashmore Estates has already been aired on the Travel Channel)
Woolly Mammoth
I don’t normally go into the “other” realms of the paranormal but this video struck me as odd. So for all you cryptozoology fans here is a cell phone video of what is thought to be a “woolly mammoth”. The video was taken in Siberia.
A BEAST lurches through icy waters in a sighting a paranormal investigator thinks could prove woolly mammoths are not extinct after all.
VIDEO: GRAINY footage purports to show the elusive beast in Lagarfljót lake
The animal – thought to have mostly died out roughly 4,000 years ago – was apparently filmed wading through a river in the freezing wilds of Siberia.
The jaw-dropping footage was caught by a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia, it is claimed.
(Read the full story here)
If you read the full story it claims to have hair samples that match samples of recovered mammoth remains. To me the video looks like a big bear that has a long fish dangling from its mouth.
What do you think?
Lady Diana?
A tourist videotaping the inside of a church in Glasgow, Scotland, believes he might have captured the ghostly image of Lady Diana in a stained glass window. Is it really a ghost or just an optical illusion?
Stephen Wagner from ABOUT.Com: Paranormal has this to say..
Yes, there’s a vague resemblance of the image in the window to portraits we’ve seen of Lady Diana Spencer. In this pose, it looks as though the Princess is wearing a tiara.
But that’s about as far as this video goes. The image doesn’t move, as you might expect a ghost would do in a video. We do not get a clear, sharp, close shot of that part of the window, so we don’t really know what the image in the glass really is. It could be the image of a woman, such as the Madonna or a female saint. Or it could be some other image that in this instance just happens to take on the appearance of a woman’s head. (If anyone can find a photograph of what this window really looks like in close-up, please send it along.)
As it is, however, I think we have to judge this one as pure pareidolia — an optical illusion — and not a ghost.
I would agree with Mr. Wagner. However, I’d like to know what you think.
