Every haunted house usually has a sad or treacherous past. Lemp Mansion is no exception. Declared as one of the nine most haunted places in America, the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis has its own history of suicides and untimely deaths. The members of the family had wealth and power yet it seemed almost like a curse was on the family, causing misery and grief over the years.

I will take you on an adventure though Wisconsin’s past and present gulls and goblins that will sure give you a new look on Wisconsin. The haunted places in Wisconsin are worth learning about.
I am testing the pseudoscience of haunted houses. In the history of the world there has been multiple reporting’s of haunted houses. The majority of these reporting’s have been about buildings in which tragic or violent events have happened. Locations include old penitentiaries, insane asylums, or houses where murders have occurred. In this experiment I propose a test after all other possible explanations have been canceled out. Such explanations include creepy sounds, unexplained drafts, and the like. These could be due to a leaky pipe, unstable foundations or even people’s own perceptions of things around them.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says, haunted houses? Scary? Ghosts? Studies show that people hear and see things that aren’t there when they are scared or frightened. Leading them to report “paranormal” activity. Haunted houses make people do that. But, in order to successfully understand the Amityville haunting, one must know the murderer of the family, the other family who purchased the home, and how the haunting of the house started.

For the past three hundred years I have been sitting in the same spot all day long. I was buit in the worst neighborhood. It isn’t as bad as bad as around Halloween night. Every single person who comes in my neighborhood on Halloween night, is dared to come inside. All the children have made stories saying I am haunted but believe me I am not. It wasn’t always like this. I used to be the best house in the neighborhood. I was filled with antiques. Furniture imported from Paris. I had parties lined up. Then the years past a storm hit and I was only a house no longer a home. Little did I know that it was all about to change. One day around October 30, the day before Halloween, a very nice young lady ,named Samantha , was dared to come inside.
The Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the nineteenth century these festivities were now common all over the country.
If there was one thing that has grasped my attention as much as it caused me nightmares, it was haunted houses. Not the type of haunted houses that pop up around Halloween and frighten you with organized jump scares. I mean real haunted houses with a backstory. The kind where someone ended up being murdered on the property and the person’s spirit lingers years later. That’s what I am on the search for. My interest started after I had accidently watched My Paranormal Encounter while channel surfing at the age of 10. Ever since that day I’ve been doing research on paranormal activity: attempting to discover a way to conquer my fear. It’s been a decade since I first began and myself, along with a few friends, have been preparing for almost a year to further my research by visiting a real haunted house. Convincing myself that I was ready for this was more difficult than convincing the others involved. Even now as I sit in the back of some beat up van I feel like we should go back. I shifted my attention from the view of cornfields outside the window to the front where Tony and Cheryl sat jamming out to some song by Guns n’ Roses with the windows down. They started waving their hands around like fools, attempting to keep everyone lively since we had been on the empty road for several hours without stopping much. Behind me, Kurt opened the mini cooler, which sat upon miscellaneous crumbs that had always coated the colorless carpet, and snickered.
I’m just getting in the door, and I say to myself “oh course it has to be a two story house.” As I walk into the house I get shivers up my spine, and I know something is in the house I just don’t know what. As me being the curious one I know I have to keep going, and there I was standing in the doorway of a “haunted house.” I looked all through the living room, but I didn’t see anything. I was as scared as a jack-rabbit that had heard the howl of a wolf. I was just about to step on the first step, but I heard something run right past me. I turned around quicker than the speed of light, but then again nothing was there. I walked all the way up the stairs, and I started looking in the rooms. In the last room I checked I saw something crouched down in the corner.
The haunted house is very big. I want to say it is about 2 or 3 stories. It is very old and has a bunch of broken windows and doors. Some of the stairs are broken so you have to be careful when you walk up
The number of haunted houses, both professional and ameture, has reached well into the thousands as of 2016. That means you have many to choose from this coming holiday. The average big house, a professional house with a substantial run time, draws in at least 300 patrons a night. Yet, with the millions of participants every year, I would confidently say that less than half, if even that, are really getting the most out of the experience. Worry not, for i have prepared all that you need to know about having the best experience that you can.
Do you want to know what you can do to make Halloween a fun time? Halloween is a holiday immersed in magic and pleasurable treats. It can be a marvelous and entertaining spectacle to see and enjoy. Hordes of children, adorned out in all kinds of costumes, are seen running through the neighborhood. But, this day is not there just for the kids, I really like seeing adults embrace their festive and creative sides, and take full advantage of this special holiday, this unique time to scare and for being scared. Unquestionably, Halloween is a time for exclusive parties, scary decorations, and spooky atmosphere. A great Halloween party needs Planning, Spooky Invitation, and Decoration.
For two nights, a dozen historic houses on the Naperville history museum's 12-acre Naperville campus are transformed into haunted dwellings filled with creepy characters and things that go bump in the night.
The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The story of this film is based off the book, The Shining by Stephen King. The main character Jack Torrance is a violent, recovering alcoholic who has broken his son, Danny’s arm while drunk before. He quits his teaching job and takes up a winter caretaker at a isolated Hotel that get snowed in Colorado. His wife, Wendy, is very timid and quiet and his son Danny has an imaginary friend Tony that scares him. The Overlook Hotel’s dark secrets pop up and Jack begins to lose his mind in the isolation. The Shining is a very creative film that is filled with many hidden themes and motifs by Kubrick. This movie has so many dramatic tools such as dramatic questions in every scene, opposite characters that seem flat however, they become round by the end, and the intrusions into the quiet winter by all of the madness roaming the corridors of the hotel.
