Good thinking. I would have went ahead and did it, only to be surprised at what I found - at least you thought ahead of time....;) :D
Great ghoulish minds think alike!:D Randi, I was going to post the story THE VISITOR then saw you already had!:) Gini, I spent hours on that Shadowlands site yesterday! :eek: Did you see all the links to the Bell Witch? It's the real life ghost story that the Blair Witch Project was based on! One of my favorite classic horror stories is the Tell Tale Heart by Poe. That one gives me nightmares! Anyone else have any "real life" ghost stories to share??
Here's the story of the Bell Witch!
The Bell Witch Haunting is the worlds largest most unexplained phenomena. Unlike any other haunting, the legacy of the Bell Witch has never changed. It is backed by unending amounts of evidence making it one of the worlds greatest legends.
This is not your "Blair Witch" as so many misunderstand. As a matter of fact, the Bell "Witch" was not a witch at all. In the early 1800's, the Bell family moved to Tennessee from North Carolina and settled on a large acre farm located next to the Red River in what is now the sleepy little town of Adams, Tennessee in Robertson County. One day as John Bell went to check on his crops, he noticed an unusual creature sitting between two corn rows. When Bell shot at the animal..it vanished. Soon after, the family began to experience unusual sounds and knockings around their home. The children's covers where pulled from their beds and funiture would mysteriously knock over.
The oldest daughter, Betsy Bell, seemed to be the target of the spirits dislike. She was beaten, slapped, pinched and constantly assaulted by the unseen force. John Bell shared his part of the unfair deal as the force plagued him with an unknown sickness causeing his tounge and throat to swell to the point were eating and talking were impossible. The force continued to harry the family to the point that finally John Bell confided in a trustworthy friend to try to figure out the means of the being. Nothing ever became of his explanations and soon others were summoned to the home to marvel at the events.
The spirit soon gained a voice, starting as only answering questions with knocks or whistles. The whistles turned to whispers and then a loud, clear female voice. When the spirit was asked of her origin, she would state an answer, only for it to turn out as a prank. The only final answer she ever gave was that she was a "Witch" of a local rather eccerate woman by the name of Kate Batts, whom most in the community found rather unpleasant. Therefore the Bell Spirit earned the nicknames "Bell Witch" or "Ol' Kate". She stated her only reason for plaguing the family was to kill John Bell...for reasons unknown and also to see that Betsy does not marry her love, Joshua Gardner.
The haunting continued for years and the home was filled with loud noises and cackles. The "witch" would occasionally sing gospel hymns and preach the scriptures of the Bible and even pray and cry to God as if she were a lost soul. She could even read minds, travel to anywhere in the world to relay events, and even predict future events. Kate never made herself visible but did, however, allow few others to shake her hand. Most explained the "hand" they felt was soft like velvet and very small, but sadly enough it was strong enough to fight off the strongest man around and crimson poor Betsy Bell's cheeks.
The witch remained with the family until she successfully murdered John Bell by posioning him, and saw to it that Betsy broke off her engagement to her love. The witch then left the household declaring she would be back in 7 years, and as declared, she returned to predict future events to John Bell's oldest son...all which have occured, such as the Civil War, The Great Depression, WWI and WWII. All recorded documents that the Bells took of Kate's predictions are pure evidence that the haunting was very real and very horrifying.
Kate left again to say she would return in 107 years (1935), but noone has made it known if she ever did return. Now, in present day Adams along the Red River where part of John Bell's homestead once stood...resides a cave were at one time the Bell children used to play. It was also used as the family's storage cellar for food because the year round temperature remains at 57 degrees. Many of the witch's events with the children occured in the cave. Most believe Ol' Kate still resides in the cave. Odd photos have been taken in and around it, unusual sounds have been heard in it and on occassion beautiful singing has been heard coming from the mouth of the cave. The Kirby family whom own the cave give tours to any thrill seeker willing to go into the cave. The Bell Witch Haunting was true and terrifying. Maybe you should go feel the chill up your spine for yourself.
Hope this isn't too scary for you all. I watched a show last night on urban legends, this is the story. It stuck with me all day today, seeing it was very scary. But they said it's just a 'story', a legend, not true.
A teenager is driving his girlfriend home from a date. The boy had been playing around earlier about the car running out of gas as a means to make out with her. Well, it doesn't work and she's mad. He starts up the car to take her home, apologizing all the way, when lo and behold they actually do run out of gas. He pulls the car over by some trees. It's very late and the area is secluded and wooded. The boy tells his girlfriend that he saw a gas station a couple of miles back and since going ahead would take even longer, he tells her to stay in the car with the windows rolled up and locked and he'll get back as fast as he can, no sense in both of them going, right?
Well, the girl waits in the car. It's been about 20 minutes when she hears a faint scratching noise. It starts to bother her, but she blows it off as the tree branches hitting the car, it had been windy that day, She decides to turn on the radio to listen to some music so it won't freak her out. Well, now it's been almost 2 hours and she's starting to get worried. Her boyfriend was a jock and could have easily made it there and back in under an hour. A half hour later she's very worried and decides to turn off the radio and look around. He had told her not to get out under any circumstances so she tries to peer out the window, she sees nothing. To her annoyment the scratching sound is still there. She decides that she will get out just long enough to break off that damn branch. She gets out and notices the gas can on the ground near the door. She immediately turns around and sees her boyfriend hanging upside down from the tree, throat slit, and his fingernails dragging across the top of the car making a scratching sound. Of course, had she been listening to talk radio instead of music, she would have known a maniac had escaped from the asylum near the woods where they were parked.

Katz, I've heard a urban legend similar to yours only the one I heard had the couple parked and making out. When they heard the scratching, the got scared and left. When they got to the filling station they heard of an excaped convict with a hook instead of one hand. When they opened the door on the passenger's side, a hook dropped to the ground. It had been stuck in the door on that side. He had been trying to pry the door open.:eek:
I actually have heard this one and many varieies of it before...I think it may have even been in the movie Urban Legend. Still creepy though...Quote:

I have tried looking through my haunted house spcritps to share something I have wriotten or helped write, but without the dark basement and jump scare at the end, they just aren't as good. I guess for now I'll sit back, enjoy the ghost stories and browse for ideas for next year's haunted house :)
We did write a "twisted nursery rhyme" at work...
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jill came back with Jack in her sack
And laughed as his head rolled after....

LOLOLOL!!
the movie 'the tingler' was a Vincent Price classic.
He finds the 'tingler' is a monster that shows up on your spine when you get scared......the problem is to get a tingler you have to scare a person and cut it from their spine.......
at the end of the movie VP looks into the camera and yells something like..
scream the tingler is loose in the theater!!!
well, they had the seats wired to shock the patrons......try THAT today!!
Ummmmm, I did not do a google or anything like that, but I was surprised when I DID look......that was a different kind of scream.......
I can hear the voices of our younger members saying "Vincent who?" - or the voices of the slightly older saying "wasn't he that guy who did the narration in Michael Jackson's Thriller video"Quote:

VP was the man. He really did know how to be creepy.:)
One of my all time favorite VP movies was the original House on Haunted Hill As a kid, that scared me to death. Anyone remember Chiller Theatre?? I loved watching that on Saturday nights!! You rarely see the classic horror tales on TV anymore. Some of my favorites are
Rosemary's Baby-The Best!!
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the original with Kevin McCarthy was the best, with great social implications and the re-make with Donald Sutherland was really good too)
The Haunting with Julie Harris...The BEST ghost movie ever!
Ahhh, nothing like a Vincent Price b/w movie. Got to be the best.
Not sure if it's VP but I loved "The Birds". And I think there was another movie about swarms of bees??? Curl up in your pj's with popcorn and I'm set for the night.
I have the "Psycho" series on VHS.

Happy Howl-o-ween everyone! I just love ghost stories. Serve me up some mulled wine, Richard! It's just as good as cider, but with a kick! I brought along a litterbox cake for everyone to enjoy! Eat up!!! :D
As far as creepy movies, did you all see What Lies Beneath? Good ghost story with a twist! :eek:
WL,
Mulled wine it is....
Done!
Here's a short ghost story...
I open up my pay envelope and the government makes my money disappear!!!
spooky!!:rolleyes:
My Daddy was one of the kindest, sweetest, most intelligent men you could ever know. In his younger days he was a ranch foreman ib Texas. Most of his life he was a dairyman in Tennessee. After becoming disabled, he sold the family farm and raised the prettiest, most productive garden that anyone in the suburbs ever saw. He sold some of the extra vegetables and fruit, but gave away far more. He was my best friend, the longest love of my life
His death in 1997, at the age of 80, hurt more than words can express. But at times I feel his presence still, his love and reassurances. His gravestone is decorated with an etching of his old poodle, Danny, and of his tractor.
I took the attatched picture in my garden this Spring.
Amoore, looks like something is really haunting your garden, perhaps Daddy keeping an eye on you??
It's only 7:53am here and it's a Thursday, getting an early start. Can I have a Spanish Coffee to start things off?? Halloweenie day at work today so won't get much work done. Good!! Leaves for time for PT :D :D Better get ready for work. Talk to you later.
yes i feel my father still watches out after me . he was such avid gardener . he was always ready with advice .
LOL LOL Isn't THAT the truth!
Amoore, what a neat picture! I can guarantee that your dad is a guardian angel looking over you:)Quote:

Another quick scary story.... I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Scared you, didn't I? LOL LOL :p
Actually, here is a story about something that happened to me when I was home from college one time. Let me first start off by saying that I am the type of person who has an overactive imagination, so I really scare easily.
It was summertime, so I was home from college. My parents have quite a large home, and they also had 3 different phone lines going into the house at the time. My oldest sister's room in the basement had a phone line, we had our regular phone line, then my dad had a business phone line upstairs where there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom; one of which was my room. Anyway, I was sleeping and was awakened by the phone ringing. I had been talking on my parent's bedroom cordless before I went to bed, so I still had it in my room. I picked up the phone and this guy said Hello. It sounded like one of my other sister's boyfriends. Again, since I was groggy I didn't even consider that it was 3am! I just said, I'm sorry, Laura's not here right now, and he preceeded to say that he called to talk to me. I thought that was wierd, and then he started asking me all these nasty questions and all. By this time, I was wide awake and I asked where he was calling from. He said "really close". Of course at this point, I freaked out and hung up the phone. All I could think about was that urban legend where the guy calls the babysitter from a phone inside the house! :eek: Really close could have meant right across the hall from me on that phone line, or from the basement in my mind. :eek: I started to panic and I blocked my bedroom door with a chair and I fumbled around the room looking for weapons just in case I needed them. I didn't find much but some black cat firecrackers. I didn't sleep the rest of the night. By early morning, I krept out of my bedroom and went downstairs into the basement to watch TV (so I wouldn't wake my parents on the main floor by the family room TV, since their bedroom was on the main floor of the house). Our basement has a walkout sliding glass door, which when I checked....was unlocked!! :eek: :eek: Could someone have come in and called our number? Most likely not, but it's creepy all the same! :p

Hecho!
(one spanish coffee! Done!)
WOW, ghost stories, ok? Well since I have been plagued by ghosts all my life here are a few of my real stories. Ones that have happened to my family or myself.
Well the freakiest one was when I was little, have no clue what age I was but I remember it very well. Maybe I was around 3 or so? We had a big house, two stories. For some strange reason my father, mother, brother and I all slept in the same room. We had three beds, ya I know, we were weird. One was for my older brother, one for my dad and one for my mom and I. We had a poltergeist, who and I know all of you will think I am crazy but I really don't give a damn, my dad started floating above his bed. And YES I AM serious. That is all I remember, was him floating. Before we were born my mom would always hear footsteps and the door to the stairs open and close, but each time she looked nothing was there. Well we lost the house, and my parents divorced. The place was torn down due to hauntings. Nothing has been buildt there since. Why my parents slept in seperate beds I do not recall.........possibly they couldn't afford a bigger bed, which I think might have been it as I recall yet another weird thing my mother telling me, that they rented a bed and it was haunted. My parents didn't have much money when they got married so they didn't have a bed and had to rent one. My mom said that during the night she could feel people under the bed pushing her, like they didn't want her in the bed. Of course, they got rid of that thing pretty quick.
I'll continue in another post...........
wow! wolflady: that would have freeked me out ! that was a good spookey holloween story !
richard or slick: spanish coffee sounds good ! what is your recipe for spanish coffee ?:)
luckies4me : that was a scarry one :eek:
Ok here are the rest.
We used to live right across the street from the Disneyland Hotel, in some crappy gang infested apartments. Anyways, we had the last apartment that faced the street. One day out of nowhere, our sliding glass door shattered while we were all sitting at the table (right next to the door) eating breakfast. Nothing hit it, it just broke and shattered in towards us. Ghost? I have no idea what it was to tell you the truth but it scared the hell out of us!
When we lived in Anaheim on Rome street, we lived in a house that a man died in. His name was John, and he died from a heart attack I think. He built the house. His son, John the second, was our landlord. John, the dead one, didn't like kids too much so they said. He used to always sit in one place towards the front door, with his wheelchair and watch tv. That was his place to sit in the house. Well when we moved in we also put our tv there, in the same place, and every time you sat there you would feel breath on you, or it would get really cold. Well we moved the tv. Now this is the freaky thing. My sister was very young at the time, maybe around 4 or 5. She would sit in the back room playing barbies like most young girls. Well one day I went to walk into the room but stopped at the door when I heard her having a conversation with someone, only someone wasn't there. Yes kids do talk to imaginary people, but if you heard her, she was actually talking to someone. I listened for a few minutes trying to understand what she was saying...........oooh hands getting achy.......when I asked her who she was talking to. As soon as I asked her this the window in front os her shattered, and she replied, "I am talking to John, and he doesn't want us here". Nice eh? That guy was an a$$, even if he was dead. He used to turn off the lights on me while I was showering at night, and turn off and on my radio. We didn't let him bug us and eventually he stopped. :rolleyes: Even though he was dead, he was still a jerk. His family seemed to think it was pretty funny though.
here's a ghost story, and its even pet related.
Some years ago, my parents Sheltie passed away. They have a tiny patch of a back yard but were able to find a spot to bury him. A few months later we had an ice storm and freezing rain. They live on the east side of town, which gets pretty windy in the winter from the winds that come down through the Columbia Gorge.
Anyway, with the freezing rain blowing sideways it looked pretty cool all frozen to the side of their house. My mom or dad (I don't remember which one) took a picture of it.
Later, when they had the film developed, there was what looked like the outline of their dog on the side of their house. I'm not kidding, its really wierd. I've seen the picture myself. I realize its kind of like seeing Jesus in a potato, but its still a very strange coincidence.
Spanish coffees sound great - its supposed to get down to freezing tonight.
Can I have a big cherry limeade? It's a warm windy day here and my sinus's are going nuts!
The Turner Classic Movie channel has been having some of the old b&w movies this week. Wolf man with Lon Chaney Jr. was on last night. I think Halloween night they are showing Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Son of Frankenstein, all without commerials!
Spanish CoffeeQuote:

Amoore and Catland...

;)
Ok just two more. This one I have photos for too, if anyone wants to see? :D
After my parents divorced we would go visit my dad. He lived in Van Nyes (sp?) in a small apartment with his two kitties and Appelina the ORIGINAL cadburry bunny, not a fake! Anyway, while my brother and I were visiting one weekend we decided to go to the courtyard and mess around with the Polaroid camera. Now, obviously you cannot take four pictures at once with the same camera correct? Like if I clicked it once, only one picture would be taken right? Well my dad clicked it, and it shot out four pictures, all which had weird fluffy ghost like things on them. Hrmm, we thought that was really odd since we had only snapped the button once, but it shot out four pics right after another, so fast there is no way we would have had time to take all of those that fast.
So we went back inside and my brother was looking at the pics, and decided to put them together. They made a puzzle he said, of a ghost. And this is true, I have one of the pics here. The white stuff when you put all four pics together made a square, and on all the pics there were matching pieces which formed a ghost. Also we had all this black stuff oozing out of our mouths, as well as some fire like ghost that resembles Bart Simpson, before they came out though. He had fire like hair, and was hiding behind one of the trees. Every pic you took in that apartment had white specks in it, no matter what camera you used. The cats were always attracted to this light in the kitchen, so I am assuming that is where the ghost liked to be. I will go scan the pic in just a few seconds.......
I was going to tell oh yes, I remember now! When living with my psycho ex in Whittier, they had a three story house. On the top floor there was stairs outside and like a little balcony and stuff with stairs leading to the outside of the second floor as well, then all the way down to the grass on the third floor. Supposedly, this is really sad, :( :( :(, a little girl was playing on the top floor outside and the mother wasn't watching her. :( The little girl slipped and fell through the bottom of the bars that were on the balcony/stairs thing and she fell to the bottom floor. The mom saw her just as she was falling and actually tried to run to the bottom story to catch her, which if course she didn't make it in time. The little girl died, but you can still hear her singing and talking in the house. I would always get a creepy feeling in that house. It's such a sad story, especially that the mom tried to run down the stairs to catch her daughter. :(
Richard, we were posting at the same time. I won!!! Can I still have a cherry limeade? PLEASE?
Last year after I sent my cat Leroy, to the RB, I would feel the bed move like he was jumping on the bed. None of the other cats were in there. I would look, and there would be no cat, but I sure felt one jump up there.:D:eek:
