Places you Wouldn't Visit Alone

Palace Theatre, New York City:

Located at 1564 Broadway (47th) in midtown-Manhattan. Vaudeville acts dreamed of a chance to "play the Palace" and over 100 ghosts are supposed to haunt the Palace Theatre, including a white gowned cellist playing in the pit, a young girl looking down from the balcony, the apparition of a little boy near the mezzanine. Also piano keys can be heard playing when no one is there, the smell of burning cigarettes at the spot where a former manager purportedly committed suicide. And Judy Garland, who is sensed near the rear orchestra door built for her. The one ghost you don't want to run into at the Palace is that of the acrobat who died when he broke his neck there -- legend claims that those who see him will soon die.












Brookdale Lodge, Santa Cruz California: 

Nestled deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains lies the historic Brookdale lodge. Surrounded by giant redwoods, Brookdale Lodge was originally opened in 1870 as the headquarters of the Grover Lumber Mill. The mill was purchased by H.J. Logan of Loganberry fame in 1900 and was converted into campgrounds and a hotel. Since then the lodge has passed through numerous hands.
   Between 1922 and 1945 the lodge was operated by Dr. F. K. Camp, a Seventh-day Adventist physician and a strict prohibitionist. It was Camp that built the magnificent Brookroom, a dining room that encloses a natural stream flowing down its center. This was the lodge's heyday. The Brookdale was the second most popular resort in California and played host to Hollywood stars, prominent families, foreign diplomats, and even a U.S. President. Famous persons passing through Brookdale Lodge included: Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Tyrone Power, Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Hedy Lamarr, and President Herbert Hoover. The lodge was also famous for its first rate entertainment, attracting the best big band and swing groups of the era. There are at least three swing era songs written about the Brookdale including, My Brookdale Hideaway, A Place known as Brookdale, and Beautiful Brookdale Lodge.
Shortly before his death, Dr. Camp sold the property in 1945 to A. T. Cook and W. G. Smith. In 1951 it was again sold to a consortium of San Francisco businessmen and then to Barney Marrow, who also owned the Brookdale Inn across the highway.
    It was in the '40's and '50's that the lodge entered its most intriguing period, becoming a home for gangsters and other shady characters. Secret passageways and hidden rooms were installed throughout the lodge and rumors of buried bodies under the floor began to circulate. Also during this time, six year old Sarah Logan, the niece of the lodge owner, drowned in the dining room creek. It's her ghost that is most often seen at the Brookdale. But Sarah wasn't the only watery death at the lodge. In 1972, a 13 year old girl drowned in the kidney shaped pool above the mermaid room forcing its closure.   Over the years there have been many sightings of little Sarah Logan. She is often seen in a white and blue Sunday dress walking through the lobby or near the fireplace between the lounge and Brookroom. She has also been seen playing on the balcony of the Brookroom, an area off limits to visitors and guests, and sitting beside the fire in the Fireside Room.
   Some have even been approached by the crying Sarah asking if they could help her find her mother. As they turn to look for the little girl's mother, Sarah vanishes. The sightings aren't limited to visitors. The owners of Brookdale Lodge have also seen Sarah running about the lodges' lobby. From their description, Sarah was, "very clear, like a whole person" and wore a 1940's style formal dress. She ran silently across the lobby for about five seconds before disappearing through the office window. The owners must have been quite "spooked" because soon after the they hired several priests and psychics to try and rid the lodge of its spirits.
   The niece isn't the only paranormal activity visitors to the lodge have experienced. In the Mermaid Room visitors have experienced hearing voices, the clinking of glasses, and soft music when the room was empty. The jukebox located here has been known to turn itself on and off when nobody is near it.  
  When the Brookroom is empty you can sometimes hear glasses and plates clinking and people talking as if dozens of ghostly diners are having a meal. A ghostly woman, has been seen walking over the brook as if supported by a bridge removed long ago. Psychics speculate that she is the mother of Sarah Logan returned to find her daughter. The smell of gardenias often permeates the room at night although there are no gardenias in the Brookroom or the lodge. Could this be the perfume of Sarah's mother?

Big band music has been heard playing faintly in the Fireside Room and in the Pool Room. People have also reported cold spots, presences, and even being touched by unseen forces in the Pool Room.

   Late at night doors slam and footsteps are often heard in empty rooms. They are particularly loud from the second floor conference room. Many have reported strange smells and having a sense that the room is full of people when it is empty. Psychics have identified one of the conference room spirits as a man by the name of George. He is a lumberjack and has also been encountered behind the lodge at a place where in the lodge's early years they chopped wood for its many fireplaces.
   In the 1970's a wing of motel rooms was built over the spot where once stood the lodge's camping cabins. Room 46 of the motel wing is reported to be very haunted. A woman who worked at the lodge in exchange for lodging has reported that at night objects and shapes would fly across the room. Ghostly ballroom dancers would swirl around leering at her as they floated by. Ghosts would materialize around her bed, their faces sometimes vague and sometimes very very clear. One of the ghosts was a little boy, perhaps 12 or 13 years old, another was a man with his eye hanging loose on his cheek, and still another was a man with a knife wound across his face. Not all of her experiences in room 46 were visual. She also reports that once she felt somebody sit on the edge of her bed and stroke her arm.









Ryman Auditorium, Nashville Tennessee:

The Auditorium opened 1892 as a the Union Gospel Tabernacle. It was used as a church and then later as the Grand Ol' Opry site from June 5, 1943 to March 1974 as a radio location. With no less than three ghosts said to visit the building known as the Mother Church of Country Music, the Ryman Auditorium can indeed be considered haunted. Capt. Thomas G. Ryman opened the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892, intending the building to be used for religious activities. Renamed the Ryman Auditorium upon his death in 1904, the building soon became an entertainment venue, but the captain reportedly made his presence known following any performances that didn’t meet his approval. Legend has it that Ryman was so disturbed by one rather risqué musical event in the early 1900s that he proceeded to thrash about, creating so much noise that patrons couldn’t hear the performance.
   A ghost of a quieter nature is a figure known as the Gray Man. While numerous employees and artists have reported seeing someone dressed in gray sitting in the Ryman’s balcony during rehearsals, this gentleman has never been seen attending an actual performance -- and has, in fact, never been found. A quick search of the balcony always reveals an empty seat, with no one dressed in gray anywhere inside the building.
   The most famous ghost of the Ryman may also be country music’s busiest. Several Ryman employees report seeing white apparitions, but a few claim that they’ve come face to face with the actual ghost of Hank Williams Sr. Some say they have encountered Williams backstage, while one employee seems to think the white mist she saw onstage was Williams singing. A recent visitor is convinced that he ran into Williams in the alley between the Ryman and Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, another of Williams’ haunts.
                              
                                 The Opry Curse
   One of the more compelling legends of the Ryman Auditorium is the belief in the "Curse of the Grand Ole Opry," because of the untimely death of countless of people who have performed at the Ryman, as well as Opry Land. The curse has been executed as a couple of plane crashes (Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas, Randy Hayes, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Jim Reeves), car accidents (Ira Louvin, Jack Anglin), murder (Stringbean Akeman, Jimmy Widener), house fire ("Texas Ruby" Fox), and many more. In total, the curse is said to have taken as many as 35-37 people over time.







Irma Hotel, Cody Wyoming:

The town of Cody was founded by Buffalo Bill Cody in 1896.
In 1902, Buffalo Bill built the Irma hotel, calling it, “Just the sweetest hotel that ever was.” Two suites and an office in the hotel were devoted to his use. Buffalo Bill had planned to have a line of hotels that travelers to the east gate of Yellowstone could stay in on their way to the National Park. The Irma Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Alfred Wilderman Woods, of Lincoln, Nebraska, designed the building. He was a church architect.
   The cherrywood bar, cited in some reports of paranormal activity dates back to the period when the Irma Hotel was constructed. An addition was made to the building in 1929 on the northwest side of the building. In 1976 and 1977, an addition was made to the southwest side of the hotel.
                        Paranormal Reports
    Reports of full bodied apparitions of a soldier seen hear a the cherry wood bar. Also reports of a “white lady” on the second floor, purportedly the ghost of Irma Cody (Buffalo Bill's daughter).

Marshall House, Savannah Georgia:

This immense structure was created and brought to life in the year of 1851. Naturally, this hotel is said to be the oldest in the area of Savannah. Today, the Marshall House Hotel in Savannah, Georgia still retains some of the original construction pieces such as the beautiful brick walls and glamorous staircase still remain. There have been many renovations, though, and this seems to have stirred the spirits that apparently reside in the hotel.

The Hauntings

There are a number of said hauntings at this beautiful hotel. Many believe that, based on the history of death that has occurred in the structure that spirits remain lurking around the structure. In its history, this structure has served as a hospital. It was set up as a place to treat the sick and wounded during the time of the Civil War. In addition to this, the infamous “yellow fever” broke out several times in the area. When this occurred, the hotel was once again converted into a hospital. During this time, several people died. To this day, many say that the spirits of the individuals still linger in the structure.

• It seems that several spirits of children linger in the Marshall House. There have been times when people staying at the hotel and even those that work at the hotel have heard the laughs and playful voices of children within the building. Upon investigation, there were no children registered on the books, and there were no physical pieces of evidence that indicated children were present. Many claim that the echoes of children are a result of spiritual beings that reside in the structure.

• In the hotel, there is a hallway as well as an area that is referred to as the “foyer”. Several individuals who have visited the home hotel have reported that they have seen paranormal activity in these locations. This includes spirits, as well as objects moving on their own.

• Throughout the structure, many individuals have reported very unusual events that seem to be related to spirits that appear to be in the hotel. Examples include water turning on and off, lights powering themselves, and even electronic items powering themselves on and off. There is absolutely no explanation for these particular events, so they are accounted to the fact that there seem to be restless spirits in the room.

• In the area of the fourth floor in the hotel, several have witnessed loud noises. They seem to sound like a crash of some sort. Upon inspection, there is absolutely nothing that could have made the noise, nor is there anything in the area to indicate that something has fallen. Many have reported that door knobs in the area even wiggle a little as if someone is attempting to open them.

 Boca Grande Lighthouse, Gasparilla Island Florida:
The haunted Port Boca Grande Lighthouse is located on Gasparilla Island, Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Built in 1890, beach erosion eventually threatened the lighthouse, but it was saved by the building of a 265 foot granite jetty to form a basin.

The haunted Port Boca Grande lighthouse marks the entryway into Charlotte Harbor. Still a working lighthouse today, it is part of the Gasparilla Island State Park and houses a museum, as well. In 1986, the lighthouse was fully restored as a working lighthouse, after being decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1966 due to disrepair and the structure becoming unsound. Lighthouse keepers and their families stayed in the keeper's house from 1890 until 1951. The light was automated in 1956. But what makes this landmark haunted?
   The Port Boca Grande Lighthouse also served as the keeper's house. One of the lighthouse keeper's daughter's passed away in the home due to sickness. It was either diptheria or whooping cough that claimed her life. Legend has it that at midnight she can still be heard playing upstairs in one of the rooms (according to a former Park Ranger tour guide). The story of the young girl is not the only lore surrounding the Port Boca Grande lighthouse being haunted. There is another legend of sorts about this site.
   Some have claimed to see the headless apparition of a lady, believed to be a former Spanish Princess by the name of Josefa. The pirate who gave the island its name, Jose Gaspar, was said to be madly in love with Josefa, whom he had kidnapped and brought to the island where he had buried his treasure. After professing his devotion to her, she is said to have rejected Gaspar. In a fit of rage, he took off her head by his blade, then buried her body on the beach near where the lighthouse was later built. Her head, however, is believed to have left Gasparilla Island with the pirate. Does she still search the beach for her head? Some claim so, and it does make for a great story

Haunted Attractions That Are Really Haunted

    At the time of it's operation this Penitentiary was not a place you wanted to be. The guards and councilors of the facility designed a variety of physical and psychological torture regimens for various infractions, including dousing prisoners in freezing water outside during winter months, chaining their tongues to their wrists in a fashion such that struggling against the chains would cause the tongue to tear, strapping prisoners into chairs with tight leather restraints for days on end, and putting the worst behaved prisoners into a pit called "The Hole", an underground cellblock dug under cellblock 14 where they would have no light, no human contact, and little food for as long as two weeks.

    So what can you expect when you go there for the Attraction, well maybe a real life angry sprite of a prisoner who didn't make it out, or just really great actors in makeup. Check out this video and you be the judge. It should be noted that children under the age of 7 are not permitted. 
    And if your wondering is this place really worth it, is it truely scary or is it a waste of time. Well let's put it this way a travel website in the U.K recently named Terror Behind the Walls one of the top 5 Halloween destinations in the world.

The Dent Schoolhouse:

Located at 5963 Harrison Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45248, USA.
   The school opened up in 1894 and was shut down in the 1950's after it was discovered that a janitor named Charlie Mcfree killed some of the children and put the bodies in the basement.
    People started to notice an odd smell coming from the basement of the school house, but the janitor convinced them it was backed up pipes. The smell would re-emerge in 1955 after the disappearance of seven more children. This time a mob formed and broke into the basement, only to find the rotting corpses of the missing students. The janitor was immediately suspected but no one was ever able to find him. Today, the school reportedly still holds the spirits of the children whos lives were taken so brutally, as well as the janitor himself. Maybe looking for more victims who knows. 
    The Dent Schoolhouse also happenes to be the home of one of the best haunted attractions in Ohio.
 

And if this video still doesn't convince you, The Dent School is listed on Discovery Channel's Scariest Haunted Houses in America.

Pennhurst Asylum Spring City Pennsylvania:

Opening on November 23, 1908, thing's went from bad to worse. Overcrowding lead to uncleanliness, and as if that wasn't already bad in 1968, it was revealed through a five-part television news report that patients especially the children were being slapped, beaten (including the ones in wheelchairs) to arranging for patients to assault each other. Thankfully it was ultimately closed in 1987. 
    Now The Asylum is a Haunted attraction that scare's the hell out of thousands of people nightly every year this time of the month, and if the actors wearing the makeup don't scare you, perhaps maybe one of the spirits of the patients will, cause it's said this place is crawling with them.

New post coming soon

I will be posting new material soon but as of right now I'm recovering from a car accident I had on Tuesday nothing serious just have bruised ribs, broken thumb, a concussion, and some other bumps and bruises, I'm still very sore but trying to get better quickly so I can start working on my blog again. 
    But until I can write out some post's at my computer how about some good movie ideas to get you in the mood for Halloween. 
    Let's start off with.





Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp of course. Is there any other this one happens to be my favorite and I make it a point to watch it every year. Directed by Tim Burton, however this movie should not be viewed by children it is rated R. for graphic horror, violence and gore.




    Next off is My soul to take. This one I started watching last year but I've already seen it five times it's very good and has a surprising plot twist. Directed by Wes Craven, this is yet another one that should be avoided by children. Rated R for strong bloody violence and pervasive language.






    Nightmare on elm street. This one turned out pretty good especially since I had someone to laugh at the whole way through. I've only seen it once because, well Freddy and I had some unfinished business to attend to, you see Freddy was my childhood nightmare. Directed by Samuel Bayer. Rated R, for other reasons then the fact that Freddy will keep any child up at night is, strong bloody horror violence, disturbing images, terror and language.





    A Haunting in Connecticut. Is next this one was very good, it even scared the hell out of my brother, and that's hard to do because he thinks scary movies suck. But this one probably scared him and me because it's based off of a true story, scary right. You wouldn't get me in that house that's for sure. Directed by Peter Cornwell. And Rated PG-13 (yeah I don't get it either, fair warning though don't listen to that rating). For some intense sequences of terror and disturbing images.





    The Amityville Horror. Would be another one for you to watch if you like scary movies based on the truth. However that's not for me. I have only seen the one listed above once and I probably never will again and it's not because it's bad it's just because it's that good it had me sleeping with the lights on for a while. I have not seen this one however so if you like it great if not sorry. Directed By Andrew Douglas. This movie is Rated R for Violence, terror, sexuality, language and brief drug use.   
   


And of course you can't watch Halloween movies without the actual
Halloween Movies. Yes that's right all 10 of them, don't believe me check it out there are actually 10. But I'm talking about the first ones yes that's right the ones made back in 1978, Directed by John Carpenter, this film is rated R for violence, terror, sexuality, nudity, drug use and brief language. My brother Actually watches these every year and to tell you the truth wears them out, he even sets the theme song as his ring tone and his text message lol. But the movie itself is pretty good, unless if your my Aunt that is you see that's my Aunts childhood nightmare. But can you blame her the dude is creepy. 





    Paranormal Activity 1,2&3.Now these movies how do I put this, SUCK!!! I'm sorry but That's my personal opinion they do. I've given them a chance but I was disappointed, however my brother and friends seem to have liked them I just don't see it I guess. Directed by Oren Peli, this move is rated R for language. But I'm telling you don't waste the
99 minutes of your life.




Sinister. Directed by Scott Derrickson and rated R, this film definitely sounds like it would give you nightmares for years to come. And one that would probably scare the hell out of you if you were to move or find old films.   



                       


 
1408. Directed by Mikael Håfström, and rated PG 13 this movie is amazing, but that's just my opinion I really loved this movie and yes I've seen it quite a few times. But then I guess that's what you get when you get a movie based off a book for the master of thrillers Stephen King himself.





 IT. Also referred to as Stephen King's IT. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. This film would make anyone afraid of clowns. This film is rated PG-13.      








 Friday The 13th. Directed by Marcus Nispel. This film is Rated R. Although I've never seen this movie I've heard both good and bad things about it, a few people said it was awesome while others said it sucked and it was a waste of time, the best I can tell you to do is give it a try you might like it.




  
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Directed by Marcus Nispel. Rated R this film will have you jumpy for awhile afterwards. If I recall my brother has seen this movie a few times and has never had a bad thing to say about it.
 








The Mothman Prophecies. Directed by Mark Pellington, this film claims to be based on actual events that occurred between November 1966 and December 1967 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. This film was rated PG-13. I myself have heard many stories about the Mothman and never say the name out loud, I've never seen the movie and when ever someone talks about it I leave the room. I don't even research it, just seen one episode about it on the history channel which kinda scared me into being a little paranoid.




The Crazies. Directed by Breck Eisner this film will have you scared of just who's living next door to you and probably farmers alike. The movie is Rated R for violence and gore. 









The Woman In Black. Directed by James Watkins. Even though it's rated PG-13 this movie is not for the young one's, this ghost story will have you on the edge on your seat. My Brother has seen this one at least three times and I'm sure there will be many more to come.  








Smiley. Directed by Michael Gallagher, this film is rated R and will have you nervous of any urban legend that has to do with a serial killer that is, so put the children to bed and enjoy.  








The Tall Man. Directed by Pascal Laugier and rated R this film is has alot of twist and turns. Enough to keep you wondering whats going on and to keep you on the edge of your seat.








One Missed Call. Directed by Eric Vallette and rated PG-13 this one will have you scared to miss a call let alone answer one. However my brother said that this movie was great and he very rarely if ever says that about a movie so go out, rent this one and enjoy.






The Grudge Series. The first two are directed by Takashi Shimizu while the last one was directed by Toby Wilkins. The first two are rated PG-13 while the last one is rated R .Yet again my brother told me about one of these films and said it was great, however if you again want to be scared of taking showers, the stairs or the dark this movie is for you, not me you lol.   




REC. Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. and rated R, this film was originally filmed in Spanish it was released in English. This film has it all man eating people, demonic possession and a contagious Virus.     






Session 9. Directed by Brad Anderson, and rated R should have you on the edge of your seat for sure being filmed in a real mental asylum, yes that's right this film was filmed in Danvers State Hospital. Any way it looks like a great one so I'd give it a try.






When A Stranger Calls. Directed by Simon West, this film is rated PG-13. It is a good movie, although a little unnerving when you have to babysit until midnight and every time the phone rings it scares the hell out of you but other than that a good movie, just make sure you don't have to babysit for awhile.





The Omen. Directed by John Moore, this film is rated R and one you definitly don't want to see alone, so set back with a few friends and let the scares began. 







 

The Saw Series. While they're not all directed by the same person they are all rated R. These movies are my grandma's favorite of all time, you figure she'd be sitting in a rocking chair and knitting something but no not mine oh no she prefers this stuff.




The Ring. Directed by Gore Verbinski and rated PG-13, this film is sure to keep you at least a little jumpy, and even a little nervous to go out and rent this movie.   








Silence of The Lambs. Directed by Jonathan Demme and rated R. This movie is very interesting as we take advice from one killer to catch another.  


  





The Exorcist. Directed by William Friedkin and rated R. This film had alot of people scared when it first came out and it still gets to some even now, which is what makes this such a great movie to watch for Halloween plus there's no doubt you'll have your lights on and some Holy Water by your side.





Poltergeist. Directed by Tobe Hooper and rated R, this is yet another film that is great and still scary. So your going to want to have those lights on and that Holy Water beside on this one as well.

Drag Me To Hell. Directed by Sam Raimi and rated PG-13. This movie is amazing I loved it, it kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldnt believe the ending.

   

                      



                       Halloween Movies for Children:


Edward Scissorhands. Directed by Tim Burton and rated PG-13. Another film loved by many this film is sure to touch your heart in a way you never thought possible, and with it being a Tim Burton film it just has that Halloween feel to it.





    Bettlejuice, Bettlejuice, Bettlejuice. Is next this move is perfect if your wanting some family time you can't go wrong with it once again this movie is my favorite, I guess it's that part of me that still wants to hold on to my childhood though nothing wrong. With that. With this one your going to want to make some popcorn balls and settle down to enjoy your time together. Directed by Tim Burton, this film is rated PG-13 for comic horror, violence and peril including frighting images, sexual content, and language.



  
     Halloween Town 1, 2, & 3. Are also another family friendly movie where you can. Pop those popcorn balls and enjoy each other company. Or you could bake cookies or anything you like. Directed by Duwayne Dunham this is the perfect movie to watch with the kids.
   




Corpse Bride. Directed by Tim Burton, and starring the voice talents of Johnny Depp, this movie is a great way to get the family together for a night of Halloween fun. It has a PG rating but I'd recommend at least children ages of 10 watch this unless of course you believe your child can handle it then who am I to tell you different :). Needless to say this is another one of my favorites and yes I watch it every year, so if you have a limit on movies that you can see make sure this is number one.



  


 Hocus Pocus. Of which I'm not ashamed to say I still watch every year on Halloween. This is also a great way to spent time with the ones you love most. And have a couple laughs while your at it too.Director Kenny Ortega did an amazing job with this film. Well if you have any other movies to add please do and tell why also tell what age group it's for that why every can have a good Halloween.



The Addams Family. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who can possibly hate the opening song to this film everyone knows it, and its probably the funnest one as well. This movie is rated PG 13 but still a good way to enjoy family time.  






Ghostbusters.  Ahh yes this one holds my brothers mortal enemy the marshmellow man he use to wake up terrified in the middle of the night from nightmares caused by the marshmellow man, until finally it just went away. The film is directed by Ivan Reitman, rated PG this film is easily enjoyable for the whole family.   
   


Scream Team. Directed by Stuart Gillard, this is a film for all young and old, I know I still enjoy this movie. So grab so popcorn or even some Halloween candy for yourself and enjoy.








Casper. Directed by Brad Silberling  this movie is rated PG. This film is definitely a great one I've always loved this movie, and always felt  bad for poor Casper.   






          Well have a Happy and Safe Halloween everyone.
