I really want to drag my husband with me to a really haunted place, like the Waverly Hills sanatorium. For those who dont know, it is an old tubercleosis hospital, complete with a body chute! You can have a tour of it OR stay the night there surprised My husband thinks im a loon for believing in ghosts, but I am actually attempting to creep him out enough to break his skepticism. >> What places that are 'haunted' have you been to?
How was your experience?
What places with paranormal activity do you want to go to?

Interesting choice you have there... I know a bit about it. They are restoring it piece by piece and have a 'haunted house' there every Halloween (should be starting up in the next couple weeks), it's nothing special just your standard stuff.
The tours is where you MAY get a chance to run into anything, though as you mentioned they are making part of it into a hotel like facility to help with the costs of everything.
It reportedly has 'shadow people' throughout it as well as one ghost of a little boy, I think his name is suppose to be Tommy but I can't recall exactly right now. He will play with balls and stuff according to reports.
The death tunnel is where alot of activity is suppose to occur as well.
On a related note did you know you can go stay in Lizzie Bordon's house as it's a bed and breakfast now.

I have been to quite a few, Gettysburg Battlefield, Chickie's Rock National Park, and some other places in PA. I go with my paranormal society. This fall we are going to Cape May, NJ and Antietam, MD. I don't have a ton of stories to tell but I've gotten some awesome EVPs. I did see quite a few shadows at Gettysburg. I am hoping my next really big investigation is at Fort Mifflin, I would love to go there.

Aokigahara Forest in Japan. It is called the suicide forest. Over 500 people have committed suicide there. I bet that place is pretty haunted. I haven't been there but I want to wonder around there. I would also like to see Elizabeth Báthory's castle. (Even though is is a pile of rubble.) She killed young women (probably hundreds) and bathed in their blood and/or drank it.

I think it would be awesome to visit the Countess of Bathorys' castle. There and Hon Dura (Dracula's) castle. I have watched paranormal groups on tv go to these places and not find much but I just think they are not trying hard enough.

I grew up on a hillside that was a Civil War battlefield, and directly behind the house I grew up in is a graveyard that was our family and slave graveyard.
There is also allot of Indian caches full of arrowheads around the family's house. Occasionally when we go through the swamps and the woods, a burial is exposed when a tree gets uprooted.
There is an actual Native American burial ground not far from the house that is getting washed away by the river. Since this started happening, there have been a couple of instances where people who hunt and fish out that was get the crap scared out of them. lol
I grew up seeing really strange stuff, and I never learned to be scared of it.
My little cousin had always talked to the boy in a "smooshed hat". My cousin thought she was just playing "imaginary friend". When she was about 4 she asked her mom why she could see the grass behind the boy, and then she said that the boy asked her where his house went. My cousin nearly s**t herself. She asked the little boy's name, and later we found a gravestone on our cemetery that matched the boy's name. He was going to be 6 in just a month or so from the day he died. He died in 1898.
Everyone in my family has had some experience though. That one is the most recent that was the most eerie, though.

(Chances are i spelt Giles the incorrect way XD) The only Paranormal Activity i've seen is that lame movie.

i realy have avoided this thread, for obvious reasons.... i don't like being in places where the local Spirits are discontent... it tends to aggravate my nerves.... "haunted" places, as in, specifically haunted by angry or vengeful spirits, creep me the ******** out. there isn't much that i can do to calm down an angry or forlorn ghost that has been dead for very long.
this experience with the Spiritual has led me to feel in agreement with the Shinto belief that the dead become envious of the living, and ultimately full of negativity, if they do not pass on peacefully to the Other Side. the concept of Oni, or the Shinto belief behind the Heart and how it determines Good and Evil, are very real things in my opinion.
i would venture to say that Ghosts and Haunted sites are not always what we expect, but by the definition that i feel best describes what it means to be a Ghost, or to Haunt, i would much rather avoid such things. they are unpleasant to deal with. and quite frankly, it only seems to be disrespectful an unhelpful to behave like tourists about such things.
that is honestly how i feel about it. if i have to deal with a Ghost, i would probably try what i can to just help it pass on. but i also wouldn't waste my time if it was being too terribly uncooperative, which is sadly what most of them are, by the shear reality of their nature (or should i say Supernature).

Twi I cant agree with you I was brought up on the site of a roman fort and its just second nature to me now to see spirits as I call them ghosts demeans the dead. Anyhow, my first spirit was my deceased granny on my mothers side of the family then an airwarden on grandma's my dads mum's house it got hit during the blitz in London UK. I thought it was just a special way for spirits to give us knowledge of how times used to be. My main spiritual life began when we lived at the fort I saw hundreds of legionaires pass through the house at night and my sister made up stories so I wouldnt disturb my family and get a beating for "lying". But as I grew older and wiser I talked to the spirits and even helped a few onto the spiritual plane. I have lived with these spirits all my life and now I actually know somehow that my brand new house has been built on an old cemetery. Ive helped Mary on but there is a friar who walks through one window in my kitchen and diagonally out the other. Thats not bad but there is the poltergeist that moves things constantly and paces behind you in the kitchen at night. I must admit he is restless but neither me nor my friend helping me have been able to release his spirit and at first I found it a bit daunting to have my new house inhabited by ancient celts but now Im beginning to talk to them when Im alone. I reckon I can get their interest by telling them about my experience of the afterlife when I "died once" and spent 3 days in a coma. So I know what comes and I know given time I can persuade them to move on. So why do people fear them so much theyre just caught between planes and need help to move on. My 14 year old has seen some things that go on but she isnt scared in any way unlike her younger sister who now needs a night light again! And I can sympethise with the lady whos husband doesnt believe in them mines attitude is well we will just have to move that is so unhelpful but he is annoyed that things have been moved especially when its his stuff he blames the kids even when they have been at school - silly cookie!! Enigma.

my appologies if what i said came across as offensive... in honesty, i feel the way i do about out of complete respect for the Dead.
it's like this... Ghosts are Spirits (or the Memories or Emotional Energies of Spirits) who for this reason or that are stuck on our side of the Gauntlet (or "Rift" as some people call it). they cannot pass fully to the other side, they cannot reach the Astral/Otherworld/Astral Plane, whatever you call it. but neither are they physical material beings. they are in an ethereal, invisible phase-plane.
this being the case, while their are some exceptions, most Ghosts become increasingly jealous over time, of either the Living or the Dead. they may not even know quite what they feel most, or are unable to sort out all their emotions. some are afraid of passing, and become increasingly anxious about it over time. some have some kind of unfinished business, or ties or a sense of obligation to some task which they are simply not ready or willing to give up on.
i know that some Ghosts are simply watching over someone or something, guarding it, and may even maintain their Peace, Composure and Gentleness. however, some of even these tend to stray from their original purpose, becoming zealous or obsessed with their self-assigned (or even involuntary) task.
i will say that i rarely encounter Ghosts in Graveyards. for that reason, i actually like Graveyards alot. smile i find them to be very Peaceful, Calm places, areas of Repose. ^_^
