NE Florida reporting in

NOVA

well, there's the New England Vampires which were the inspiration for Dracula.

The Bloody Pit, a haunted maintenance shaft and train tunnel (still in use so be careful lurking) in North Adams, Mass

the tunnels underneath the Danver's State Hospital are still around and supposedly the buildings have had consistent strange happenings.

Bridgewater Triangle

Bennington Triangle

October Mountain has had consistent bigfoot sightings since settlement basically.

Dana, Massachusetts would be cool for exploring. it is a disincorporated township cleared for the quabbin resevoir but the foundations and basements and some structures are still around.

>>17168224
I don't.

Born bred and Raised in vermont. It's weird, and with lots of history we have a ton of hauntings. I grew up in a house, and I have had a few experiences myself

>>17169956
If you guys want to hear them I can do some typing.

>inspiration for Dracula
na brah, stop making shit up

>basis for a character is the same as inspiration

"One 1896 New York World clipping even found its way into the papers of a London stage manager and aspiring novelist named Bram Stoker, whose theater company was touring the United States that same year. His gothic masterpiece, Dracula, was published in 1897. Some ... see Lena in the character of Lucy (her very name a tempting amalgam of “Lena” and “Mercy”), a consumptive-seeming teenage girl turned vampire, who is exhumed in one of the novel’s most memorable scenes. Fascinatingly, a medical doctor presides over Lucy’s disinterment, just as one oversaw Lena’s."

they were at least pretty clearly influential

PA fag, I can think of a couple near here.

Centralia Mine Fire
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2196
Named as the biggest insipration for the town Silent Hill. Pretty spoopy at night, but fags ruined it with graffiti and vandalism. Haven't been there in years cause it's almost an automatic visit from a state trooper now.

Katy's Church
http://outtaway.blogspot.com/2011/07/normal-0-false-false-false.html
Didn't bother reading the article, but the story I heard was something about some bitch waiting for her husbando to come home from war and she hung herself on the tree outside the church. Went there in high school and it was easily the creepiest place I've been to. Again, vandalfags have ruined it, and a trip there will almost certainly lead to a possibly lengthy detainment by the local authorities.

Eastern State Pen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_State_Penitentiary
Allegedly was once a great UO spot and haunted as balls, never personally been, but now it's some cheesy halloween tour.

Sachs Bridge
http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2008/08/sachs_bridge.html
Been a few times, never personally experienced anything paranormal.

Danville State Hospital
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danville_State_Hospital
Still functioning Insane Asylum. Went to creep around at night once but got driven out pretty quickly. There are a couple of boarded up buildings (at least, they were still standing last time I was there, which was 09-10) where urban legend in town says doctors performed spoopy experiments on loony toons. Some oldfag once told me his one buddy and some others got inside of one of the buildings once in the 70s and got v& and he never saw him again, but he was a burnout so who knows

>>17169974
Tell us one.

Here's an interesting one from my state,OP. No one ever talks about it and I dont live close enough to it to investigate or anything.

>>17170200
Sorry fell asleep. Let's see.

Well there is the whole Bennington triangle thing. Strange shit happens constantly in that area. Creatures the size of busses stepping out in front of cars, or turning them over, shadow people stalking the woods. I heard one really old person say that there used to be a town where everyone went strange in the head and either left or died. Said that shadow people roam it close to twilight attacking anyone they see who is living. I went out to visit it once, there is evidence it was there, old basements and such, but I did stick around to test out if the shadow people thing was true. Supposedly the land is cursed though.

>>17171548
Didn't stick around.

>>17171548
Jerusalem's lot? Is that folklore the basis for the Steven King novel?

>>17172425
Steven king dislikes Vermont(ers), but he takes a lot of our stories yes.

>>17174159
Don't See why, Mainers are fucking weird.

>>17174180
Because stephen king is a hack. He takes previous stories and twists them to his own needs. The only original thing he has done is the Dark tower clusterfuck.

Oi Vermontfag. give us something creepier than some fucking holes in the ground.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Gates_of_Hell

rehmeyers hollow is a few miles from me. not as spooky these days since most of the roads are paved and theres houses everywhere. theres a book about it called "hex".

seven gates is kinda dumb. theres only one metal gate thing and no trail leading anywhere.

the old prison in the city is spooky as fuck though.

>>17174411
Oh yeah I heard of the seven gates. Not surprised though.

What's so spooky about the prison?

i lives two blocks away in my early 20's. sometimes can hear banging noises coming from the building. its said they use to execute people inside. just being near it at night makes my skin crawl.

few years ago someone tried to convince the city council to renovate it and make it a tourist attraction like they did with rehmeyers house. naturally they shot them down.

Anyone else have a spooky experience?

The only difference between the dreams is that my brother saw a feminine figure. I saw masculine.

Also had a repetitive dream of killing my mother from the perspective of each of my brothers if interested.

>>17175421
plot twist: I have 5 brothers. It was not a fun time.

From Philly, best spot around was Byberry Psychiatric Hospital, got into it countless times when I was in high school. This was between 97-01. Really really wish they had go pros back then, not a lot of footage or even photos exist of it. I got a roll of 35mm film some place at my folks house that has pictures but i'm not sure where it's at.


We still got the Beury Building and it;s fucking awesome but it's getting more and more dangerous by the day. Last time I was there the stairwells were falling down and the little crows nest area was no longer assailable without climbing gear. Back in the late 00s I used to go up to the top of it at night and watch the city and drink a few beers

>>17175421
uh... Interested. Also dude.. what the fuck was your sister messing with?

Just FYI the now-closed Loring AFB (Limestone, Maine) had multiple UFO incidents in the 70s. Google should take you to those reports. Most of the rest of the Maine stuff (especially Aroostook county/North Woods areas) is perpetuated by locals who make a habit of spiking their morning joe with Allen's Coffee Brandy.

Source: grew up in Maine, been all over the damn place

>>17178521
I'd believe it. Like I said Mainers go weird from the lonesomeness. Either that or they leave.

>>17174159
he takes a lot of stories from a lot of places folklore, I'm not too surprised he combined Vermont's ghost town with vampires

>>17177305
NJer here, me and a few people went to Byberry 3 or 4 times back in 2005/06ish, right before they tore it down. Brought a friend down once to show him and there was nothing left. Spent hours just reading the miles of old graffiti in the underground hallways

>>17168469
That's a pretty big leap to make, man. Vampires in New England were probably the result of European folk belief carrying over to the New World and thriving under the severe morality- and supernatural worldview- of Puritan belief. Bram Stoker, the occultist that he was, was more likely inspired by the Balkan depiction of the vampire, given Dracula's similarity with respect to abilities.

Connecitcunt here, currently attending a college in Vermont that is supposedly one of the most haunted in the country. I'm planning on doing a little ghost hunting when the weather gets warmer.

Moved to Virginia recently need to look into spoopy things any suggestions?

>>17168398
DMV area has our shit Bunnyman/Goat man

>>17180838
The Bunny man that I just mentioned is Northern Virginia

>>17180863
Dang that's pretty far from where I moved.

Philadelphia has a bunch of cool abandoned places, notably the naval yard where the infamous Philadelphia Experiment partly took place in. Lots of abandoned high schools and electrical plants, hotels, and just houses filled with dope heads.

>>17180836
If your talking about UVM then yeah. Fucking loads of hauntings there. Between where I went to school and there you could ghost hunt for years.

My favorite is one of the halls has a coughing man. Like that's it, he eternally has a cold.

>>17180953
Oh and Mount Moriah cemetery; huge abandoned cemetery in SW philly, really fucking scary at night, more so than any cemetery I've been in.

>>17180995
I would love to see pictures if you have any.

I didn't snap any the times I went but I live close enough to it to probably get some next time. Google has some alright pictures up but nothing really captures the scale. Massive crypts with the city skyline in the background is a bizarre sight.

Anything cool in the central Florida area?

Delaware fag reporting in.

Fort Delaware aka Pea Patch Island. Take the ferry out from Delaware City. Massive stone fort. Free to roam or take a tour. Technically a state park so you can go anywhere on it. (the night tour done by delaware paranormal is awesome. The night tour done by the fort guides is terrible)

Lots of reported ghost activity. Apparitions, shadow figures, cold spots, and voices.

Delaware again.
Fort Dupont. Again open to the public as it's a state park. Lots of concrete bunkers and tunnels to explore. To find the open ones you have to kind of trek off to the right through the clearing but they're there.

Apparitions in the windows of the old buildings, screaming, ghost ships, and footsteps.

>>17181047
Please do. I want to see more. I have googled it.

GA fag here, me and my senpai went to this place up in Hiawassee where there's supposed to be a legit haunted house. Chastain House or some shit like that. We did 3 investigations there and took all kinds of evidence and evps. I can post pics and try to upload EVPs tomorrow. For the most part there were just orbs and some shadows and stuff. our last investigation was conducted during halloween night.

West vaginan here, we have some pretty spoopy lore and some nice haunted places ask me anything

Has anyone heard of weird shit happening under lake Eligo, northern Vermont?
I've heard from a couple of drunk farmers that Lake Eligo is "bottomless". The story goes that someone once fell through the ice and drowned. The next spring, a dredging boat went to retrieve the body with a 300 foot dredging line. The lake is about 100 feet deep, like most glacial lakes in Vermont...and yet at one point, the dredging line was hanging completely taut and yet didn't reach the bottom. That's what sparked the rumor of there being a bottomless hole in Lake Eligo. The drunk farmer said that the hole is "south of the island". That's all I can remember.

Connecticut here. I've sat in the throne of the little people village in Middlebury a few years ago. this year should be the 7th.

Another Ga fag here. Plenty of happenings around Savannah. But i live slightly north. Around Georgia southern we have the packing house (not so sure it's haunted but definitely creepy as fuck) and ghost road. Ghost road is my personal favorite given the amount of experiences I've had there.
