The Haunted Hotel and Saloon

Check out this excellent story on the investigation of a haunting in New Mexico from MSNBC:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The former owner of a 180-year-old adobe building hears the door of a potbellied stove opening and wood being stacked inside, but no one is there.

Mysterious whispers echo in the current owner’s ear. Things fall off shelves for no apparent reason.

These are just a few of the strange goings-on that artist Josh Bond, owner of the Old Cuchillo Bar in the southern New Mexico ghost town of the same name, has asked the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society to investigate on his property.

“The creepiest I had was a voice whisper in my ear,” Bond said. “When things fall in the house, I just sort of write it off.”

The Kitchen Cabinet Ghost

My friend just told me a ghost story. She was at a friend’s house the other day and suddenly a cabinet door in the kitchen opened all by itself. The dogs were going nuts and barking and looking over at something that wasn’t there. My friend and her friend noticed that when they looked through their cellphone cameras, there was a strange blue light. I don’t think they took a picture of the light (darnit) but perhaps we’ll see something in the photos they were taking of their dogs…if something comes up I’ll be sure to share here.

“The Most Horrific EVP Ever Recorded”

The producer claims this is the “most horrific EVP ever recorded.” I can’t speak to that (not having heard every EVP), but this one is pretty scary. Recorded in an old hotel, this recording starts off a bit slow but has the strangest blood-curdling screams in the middle. Unfortunately, investigators were talking in the background while this was recorded, so it is hard to tell what is background noise and what are the EVPs. Spooky, nonetheless.

Little Ghost Girl EVP

As you are watching this, you may be tempted to think that it is just a kid playing outside. The producer of this video claims this is not the case. Watch to the end for a creepy finale to this EVP tale.

Strange Fog in Savannah Graveyard

I used to live across the street from a cemetery and I regularly took photos there, hoping to catch a ghost or two. Nothing. No fog, no orbs, no strange lights. (I did only go in the daytime.) These folks, however, got a shot of some very ghostly fog in a Savannah Graveyard:

Ghost Orbs in Leap Castle, Ireland

Leap Castle (pronounced “Lep”) is said to be the most haunted castle in Ireland. I remember watching a TV documentary about this place some years ago. There is a dungeon called an “Ubliet” there, which is more of a hole that they throw people in to die. Very sad and scary. I found some amazing photos of this castle, complete with the requisite ghost orbs, at The World Unknown:

Collection of Amateur EVP Recordings

Here are some interesting EVP recordings from an amateur paranormal investigator. EVP, if you were not aware, stands for “Electronic Voice Phenomenon.” Apparently, electronic equipment can pick up what we can’t hear with our ears…and some people think these strange sounds may, in fact, be the voices of the dead…

Keep listening, because there are some very clear and creepy EVPs in this collection.

Ghost in a Singapore Elevator

This video surprised me! Even if it is a fake, it is worth a watch. (Pay attention to the lower right-hand corner.)

The Ghost in the Hospital Mirror

Here’s a very creepy picture that was shared at the Coast to Coast website. A nurse was testing the flash in her camera in a room that was unlit. Look what popped up in the mirror!

Here’s a close-up:

As you can see, there is a very well-defined man sitting in the mirror image of the room. I have to wonder…is this a real photo or something that was done up in Photoshop? You decide.

Ghosts in an Ireland Jail?

stephanie — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 08:22:31 +0000

Here is an interesting photo taken in Kilmainham Gaol (Jail) in Dublin, Ireland. It was recently posted on Coast to Coast’s website, and you can read the full story there. As you can see, there is a large orb floating in the foreground. The woman who submitted the photo also thought she saw the ghost of a young boy and a woman with a child in the back:

For the life of me, I could not see any people in the photo, even in her blown up version. I adjusted the contrast and brightness in Photoshop, and here is the result:

Look in the darkened doorway. I’m not sure if what she calls a boy’s face is actually a face, but it does look like another orb to me. You can also see an orb floating in the hallway. What do you see?
