It is here where we see Kingston use the term "ghost" in a manner to mean "stranger." She writes, "America has been full of machines and ghosts – Taxi Ghosts, Bus Ghosts, Police Ghosts, Fire Ghosts, Meter Reader Ghosts, Tree Trimming Ghosts Five-and-Dime Ghosts." This description gives the reader the culture shock that someone who has just moved to the US can get. It may be a very unnerving experience to be surrounded by so many strange and alien things.

On the 30th of June, 1986 the Snedeker family moved into their new home in Southington, Connecticut. Soon after they moved in, strange and frightening things started happening. Even though a 2009 movie based on the events that took place was produced, most of the occurrences in the movie were purely fictional and changed by hollywood. Because of this, many people wonder what really happened on 208 Meriden Avenue, how much of it was real? Throughout the following paragraphs we will discuss and analyze what really happened during the haunting in connecticut.

The answer to my big question is that i don't believe the biltmore hotel is haunted. Back in 1922 the biltmore was financed by Johan Leisse Weisskopf a known satanist used to do rituals and according to people they believe that this is true and that this is the reason why the hotel is haunted.

The introduction starts with explaining that there are usually always the same telltale signs of a haunted house. Quite often when someone speaks of a hauntings they mention cold spots, doors unexplainably locking, mysterious footsteps, and strange yet recognizable noises and/or odors. The explanation for this is typically a ghost, which modern researchers define as an image of a person, animal, or thing that appears regularly but unexplainably in a particular place. Surprisingly, in public polls

I had not been asleep long when I…awoke with a start…I could see a figure standing next to the couch looking down at me. The woman was dressed in a long, flowing, dark green gown, holding a round tin with a candle in it…Her face was dark and very square, and a green turban was wrapped around her head, concealing her ear.

There are many mysteries throughout everywhere. They have scared for centuries or maybe only years. Although some become legends. They spook reads. Although it's up to you to believe or call them myths, but some things cannot be explained. No scientists can explain ghosts completely, there is too much evidence and only not enough. Would you believe in ghosts after an encounter? mostly likely. If you believe or not believe something can't be proved so ill let you be the judge if its myth or mystery.

Situated on the outskirts of Louisville, KY sits a famous former tuberculosis hospital. Waverly Hills first became functional in July of 1910 when tuberculosis, or TB, was deadly and patients affected were isolated from the public. Because it is close to my small hometown of Carrollton, KY, Waverly is extremely well-known for its paranormal happenings. Throughout my life, I have always had a relatively strong belief in paranormal phenomenon. The idea of a paranormal encounter is often foreign until something unexplainable happens directly to you. Nearly everyone has had at least one experience where there is no rhyme or reason as to why or how it happened. My first trip to Waverly was in

Who's located in the middle of the historic section of Glenwood Cemetery? Who has a grave surrounded by chain links in Yazoo City's Public Cemetery? Who was known for torturing people and destroying places? The mysterious person is The Witch of Yazoo! She is known as a disturbing woman who was perceived to be a witch from Yazoo City that startled and concerned people from her devious presence. Despite if the Yazoo Witch is real or not, the history of the Yazoo Witch is very compelling.

The Winchester house is one of the oddest and one of most haunted houses in the world. It is located in northern California. It cost over $20,000,000 to make. The owner, Mrs. Winchester, was rich because her family made the Winchester repeating rifle known as “The gun that won the west”. The house has 160 rooms and there are spirits in each room. The builders had to keep remaking rooms that if Mrs. Winchester kept them all she would have 600 rooms. So when they were done with the house, which took over 30 years to make, there were stairs that led to the ceiling and doors that led to walls.

Maybe it was just a coincidence or they filmed them there for a reason. They may have thought that if the filmed the movie in a “haunted” house, scary things may actually happen. “George and Kathy Lutz, who moved in a year after the murder, reported strange occurrences like disembodied voices, moving furniture, noises and slimy goo. Their tales inspired a 1977 novel and 1979 film, both titled “The Amityville Horror”; since then, more than a dozen horror movies centering on the house have been filmed.” (Alberts 4)Altho the house is still getting put up for sale people still consider it haunted. The house is still to this day considered haunted even with all this times that’s passed with nothing else happening. Nothing else has happened to the owners of the house so far. Someone who lived in the Amityville Horror house murdered his whole family, the same thing almost happened to the family that lived there after them, to this day the house is still considered haunted. Whether the families made all this up or not we will never know, the Amityville horror case remains

Then there's the White House in the United States. Considered to be perhaps the most haunted house in America, there has been several reported phenomenons, many of them believed to be sightings of past presidents of the United States. Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln, believed strongly in the occult and often held seances in order to communicate with her sons. She had told friends she had heard former president Andrew Jackson stomping and swearing through the halls of the presidential residence. Jackson's bedchamber, also know as the Rose Room, is said to be one of the most haunted rooms in the White House. But he isn't the only president said to be wandering the halls of the

Two steps will sketch how the urban bind to new technicity. First, a description of the broader societal move and second my more personal reasons for the transversal. The hauntology of cities – i.e., a certain sustained technical reticularity – make the political animal called human possible. Moreover, hauntology sustains humans. People, in turn, nurture new potential technics. The atmosphere created by this dialectic contains both the potential to harm or heal (Cole-Turner, 2011: 3–4) – a potential Stiegler calls a pharmakon (Cf. Stiegler, 2010a: 47; Stiegler, 2010b).

  Of course people would believe that it’s haunted because, I mean come on! It’s a mansion! A lot of mansions are haunted but nothing

“In the year of 1989, there was a street named Elm, in the state of Wyoming. Few chose to live on that street, and they all knew about the haunted house, up on the hill, on the west side of town, coming off of Elm. Once, I spent the week with some friends and, Halloween came upon us, while I stayed with them.” I was telling my first-grade brother and his friends stories to scare them out of their wits. Besides, no one wants little kids tagging along with you to go trick or treating, when you could go with your friends to Haunted Houses, and not ones set up by the town hall. “We were just about to pass the house, not thinking anything of it, when we heard a moan coming from Old Man Reaper’s house.” Their eyes grew wide with fear.
