What place in your city are haunted?

[Lady Akirea]

What place in my city ISN'T haunted, is the question. 99.9% of the places I have lived at here... are haunted. I don't count just the well-known places. o.o;  

[River_Moonwolf]

Several, actually. There's the Sheraton Read House, a well-known hotel. Chickamauga Battlefield has plenty of old spirits around it, an old cemetery in St. Elmo.

There's a place called the Badu House in my town. It's said to be haunted by the first owner, Professor Badu.

Personally, I believe that it's haunted. I've had experiences there myself.

I'm not giving out the name of my town, so I'm just going to use the word Cupcakes instead the name of it. In Old Towne Cupcakes, There is a haunted hotel. I don't know how the ghost got there or anything, but I hope to find out. There's also a battlefeild by my house, used during the Civil War, which I believe is haunted. I've seen black masses there, and I couldn't even begin to tell you all I know about that place. I believe that Old Towne Cupcakes is haunted in many places, but is known for it's haunted hotel mostly. smile

I live in Dallas, Tx and believe it or not, there are not that many PROVEN haunted places here!
At White Rock Lake there is the Lady Of The Lake, but I think almost every lake has one, usually with the same story! Lol! She is also said to be a "Hitchhiker."
There is the supposed "JFK assassination" that repeats the events of that day. Supposedly you can hear a single gunshot, then see the ghost of Jack Ruby as he runs down the sidewalk toward the School Book Depostory screaming "NOOOO!" Kennedy and Oswald have never been seen during these events though. This has never been proven, but I have heard the story my whole life.
There is an apartment complex for homeless women and their children in east Dallas. I knew a woman who lived there for a year and she told me lots of stories! There were apparitions, everyone had night terrors of a red demon with horns. Things were always moved, unexplained fires, small things, like screws or pennies would fall out of thin air. The smell of sulfur or freshly baked bread could be smelled at all times. There was a lot more to the story but that would make this post too long.
There is a local park that has a giant things living in the lake at the far back. So,e friends and I were hanging out there one night (yes we were drinking but we all saw the same thing!) We heard a strange sound coming from the trees at the back of the park and all turned to look. We saw 3 people running out of the woods with something tall chasing them! We started to run to their rescue until we saw how big the thing was! I dont know if it was a snake or a worm or what, but it was LONG and its head was about 20 feet in the air! As tall as the old trees! We all turned around and headed for our cars to get out of there! One of the people who was being chased jumped into the car I was in and we took off! He told us the thing had come out of the water and that it was green and slimy! I have never heard of this thing before or after that night, but I know there were too many people who saw it for it to not be real!

Well, I live in a huge city, so I don't know all the haunted areas. But, I know a few: an old house from the 50's, a part of the city that is almost 200 years old, a music school, and probably even more.

My mother-in-laws house is haunted. Ben told me when they first moved in there were lots of nasty things lurking around that property. His sister was a powerful psychic and managed to round them all up in to one spot on the property she called the sanctuary and protect her family.

A few years ago she died unexpectedly of complications from surgery. Because she had never wanted a funeral her father wouldn't let he mother have one. Because of Her mother's grief and inability to say good bye and let go she has stayed behind in that house when she should have moved on.

Ben and I have spent the night once or twice while Ben was helping his mom by fixing things in the house. Ben's old room is being used as storage so we had to sleep in Kari's room.

The first time we spent the night I was standing in the bedroom alone because Ben was in the bathroom and I suddenly got the feeling I was being watched. I told her who I was and that I was with Ben and the feeling went away. I always shield myself when we sleep there, just in case the things Kari sealed break loose some how.

The Driskill Hotel is said to be haunted. It is really pretty there. I have only spent the night there once. Haunted Driskill Hotel

I don't think there is an area in my town that is untouched by malignant energies. People that don't even believe in the paranormal have visited my town and referred to it as a life-draining energy that pervades the area.

The psychiatric center in my city is rumored to be haunted (it has a really bad history, as many psych centers did in their early stages), and before my old school closed (it was a Church which had a grammar school connected to it) many, many teachers as well as students spoke of a priest named Monsignor Chambers that walked through the halls and into the classrooms, disappearing just as fast as he came around. People have been spotting him and hearing him (walking, making noise, etc but never speaking a word or acknowledging anyone) for years, but I don't know what became of him after the school closed. He loved kids and the younger grades would describe him as he used to be remembered when he was alive. Pretty neat stuff!

I live in Las Vegas. Supposedly a lot of places around here are haunted.

Bally's, the Bellagio, Aladdin Hotel, Las Vegas Academy, etc. I've lived here for 17 years and still haven't gone to investigate. I ought to get around to it eventually.
