Oddly enough that is where most of the ghost stories around my house come from... I live next to a huge church (abandonned know) that is a little over 200 years old (been rebuilt a few times so still okay to wak in and such) around th elate 1800's the a tornado (or cyclone as they called it) came through te hollow... Bee Spring Hollow to be exact and killed al ot of people most of them were buried in that graveyard alot of stories surround it .. the most tragic was Clara Stevens though

Who the hell is this Clara Stevens of Bee Springs that you keep talking about?

Adel · « **Reply #3 on:** May 11, 2003, 01:18:10 AM »

that I keep talking about have I mentioned her before? oh well sorry I didn't want to get to much off topic...

anyway she was a girl who was around the age of thirteen the tornado struck on a sunday afternoon usually after church Clara would go and play in the fields of flowers near the church then she would walk home later... she was on her way home when the tornado hit... she never made it... she is said to be seen running down the road (which is still dirt) on warm summer nights some say only on Sunday but others disagree. any way the wierd experiene I had began when I was actually "modeling" if you could call it that for one of my guy friends... he is a photographer (does mostly b/w) and he had a dream of a girl aat this really old church with really long hair dressed in old timey dress. He wanted me to be this girl so I said cool one of my friends mom's sews and made me a simple old timey cotton lace dress and we had the pictures made at this church I am nieghbors with te people who own the church so I could get the key and all... but their is one picture where I am standing in front of the natural spring that flows infront of the church... you can hardly see my face but it is a great picture the wind is blowing my hair the shadows are great... sorry artist coming out again... any way a little later the church had its 200th birthday and a lot of old pictures came out one of them was of Clara she looked alot like me the picture was taken at the exact same spot her hair was blowing much like mine the only major difference is that she was smiling and I was not. their are other e=things as well but thats enough for tonight!

Wow freaky! I haven't had an encounter yet I love ghost stories. My town is on an old indian ground, and people say if you take a picture looking at Devil's Gate at our park at night you can see the orbs of a few million ghosts

Well. I live near the Winchester Mystery House. I live by the "haunted" toys R us. (A suicide in the orchard before the TRU went up.. with lots of well documented poltergiest activity... eventually put to "rest" by Sylvia Brown). Downtown Saratoga (8 miles from here) has seven haunted buildings in its historic down town. The old silver mines in these parts are supposed to be haunted by lost miners. Lets not even go into the Miwok and Olone indian sites, including the mission burrial grounds.

We should really split a ghost thread.

TH ecollege that I attend is said to be haunted and several of my professors swear that they have seen things that would make people think twice about ghost though I have not seen any thing on my own! As for were I live there are several ghost stories that is just the one that got me the most I guess cause it affected me most!

I believe absolutely in ghosts, King Arthur, Dragons, Unicorns, Sasquatch, Nessie, Aliens, the Kraken, the Rukh (Roc), and other things like that.

We don't really have any local ghost stories in Boise, but in my house, there's this picture of an old guy with a beard that came with the house. We don't know who he is, but it's really creepy to look at at night, and you have to walk past it in the hall to get to the kitchen.

You never know have you tried looking up any thing on the net about older places around you living area. there may be ghosts stories all around and you just be none the wiser... I grew up around things like this and have always been interested... ofcorse I live in the sticks and am surrounded by old buildings... One of my friends ives in a house where a doctor committed suicide because his wife died in childbirth... that house is said to be haunted... I mean you never really know.

A ghost hunter here, and I've seen and documented much.

If you want to look up things on your area, try the local "Ghost Hunters" society or association.

The campus of Berry College (where I go) has got at least seven ghosts. Three of them in the theater where I work, ain't that fun? Another in one of the dorms, two on the road that leads up the mountain, AND the ghost of the founder who hangs around what used to be her office. And possibly more that I haven't found out about yet.

Ok, I found a ghost.
Down at the Egyptian Theater, in downtown Boise, where I live, they have a ghost that lives on the stage (It used to be a playhouse before it was a movie theater.) called the Egyptian Player. He usually walks out on stage in the front of a movie and watches everyone.

See ya never now! I attend Martin College and there are said to be many ghosts at the college and th ehouses surronding it. There si supposedly a ghost named Joshua in the theater (which is going to be rebuilt into a movie theater this summer) A new theater is being built. there is a ghost on the third floor dormitory (girls) named Emily They say that Thomas Martin haunts the main bussiness building known as Colonial hall as well as many others. I find it all very interesting!

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2003, 12:38:47 AM »

I've noticed that just about all theaters are haunted, if they've been around for any significant length of time.

Adel · « **Reply #14 on:** May 15, 2003, 01:40:07 AM »

Tell me about it guess thats One reason I like them so much! I like older buildings better thatn new ones because of their history. There is an old farm house just by the orchard near my house it is really old and falling apart but it is so beautiful I love to sketch it. there are a few stories about that place as well though I have never witnessed anything!

Oooh! I just remembered at my pool (I am on the team) There was this girl
whose heart exploded in her cheast and she drowned during a meet in the '70's. People say she goes into the lockre room and turns on the showers along with two little boys who snuck in and had seziers and drowned. Dum du du DUMMM!

Adel · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2003, 11:34:44 PM »

wow! i don't know of any local pool hauntings but there is a girl who is said to haunt a creek near my house!

Almatari · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2003, 03:57:43 PM »

Yeah, water water every where nor a drop to drink.
Anywho, I had a meet this morning I did well I must say.

Love to swim! Any way it is a small creek near my house there is an old mill house on the far band (been abbaondoned for decades) but it is made out of stone so it is still in fairly good condition for its age. There was a young girl, I am not sure of her name. One year as it often does (as it has been this year) it was a regular monsoon season! (not really just alot of rain) and the creek gets way up the mill was moved off of the bank line to prevent a lot of damage from flood waters. The girl was abused in her home by her mother the mother lied to her father who was an upstanding person in the town and believed her, many believed, because he didn't want people to talk. One night during this rainy season the girl was again being beat by her mother and ran out there front door hoping to escape her. Her emotions tricked her senses and she ran straight into the the creek that by this piont had a strong current... her body was never found her mother passed it off as a girl gone and committed suicide due to her madness. The father did not deny it however had little to do with his wife after the incident. Local legend has it that on stormy nights the girl can still be seen weeping at the waters edge.

*sniff* Wow, um, let me think. I think I might be doing some research soon...

Adel · « **Reply #20 on:** May 20, 2003, 12:00:29 AM »

Most of these are stories I have collected from the elders of the community (I have always found intrest in this sorta stuff so started real young!) Alot of times people love to talk about this kinda stuff so just ask around or if you live in a town where there are a lot of stories you might be able to look something up on the net!

sniperspy · « **Reply #21 on:** May 20, 2003, 06:56:28 PM »

Some folks just have all the luck

Adel · « **Reply #22 on:** May 20, 2003, 07:59:57 PM »

Almatari · « **Reply #23 on:** May 20, 2003, 09:56:31 PM »

I wish I lived in Boston or Philly Or NYC that would have so many stories...

Adel · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2003, 10:23:43 PM »

please I live in BeeSprings, Tn they don't get any smaller! the main reason theer are so many is because it is such an old town and so much tragedy in it's history!
