Halloween.. Time for Ghost stories.

[Dane E5R]

Anyone have any stories to share? Preferrably stories from your own experiences, or just stories of local hauntings..

The Kroger I work at is haunted. In the backroom, sometimes you will see shadows, or just a glimpse of someone turning a corner, but when you walk over were it was; nobody will be there. Also, I have heard voices (and yells) in the back when nobody was there but me. It scared the **** out of me. I try not to go back there when nobody else is there.

A lot of people who have worked there over the years have died in freak accidents, and a few people committed suicide. Maybe one them haunts it.

Ooh! My friends and I had a sleepover once and someone brought a Ouija board. It was fine until the damn thing started threatening us. Then it moved on it's own!

Stupid spirits.

we've had some girls hang themselves here on campus. you can see a body hanging from the upper balcony on certain nights. Its gotten so that noone's allowed access to it. One girl did a long time ago, and was attacked supposedly...


We've even got this weird basement that NO one goes into. Its called "Hell", and I think for good reason...Its locked, braced, soldered and a dozen other things to keep it shut...

There's an American military morgue just across the street from my house, where the remains and bodies of all soldiers/officers killed in the line of duty while in overseas operations (Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, etc) rest before being sent back to their respective hometowns for funerals.

Though I've never seen nor heard of any "paranormal" activity around there, just walking past it is chilling and a bit overwhelming.

Where I live we're famous for the Bell Witch....if that tells you anything.

One time, I turned on the television and I saw........

MICHAEL JACKSON! *faints*

Yeah that is scary. But he is a great singer. But looks like a weirdo.

This happened to a friend of mine a few years back (before I met him)...

While on a campout with his Boy Scout troop, he learned that a fugitive from a prison nearby was gunned down and killed in the immediate vicinty of where he was camping. This ties in later, but earlier in the day he noticed that his pocketknife was dull and had no way to sharpen it (it wouldn't cut cactus). He slept later that night, then the next morning he noticed small scratch marks on his arms. He thought nothing of it, grabbed his pocketknife, and noticed that the cactus flew off at light speed whenever he cut it with the knife. He inspeceted the blade and noticed pieces of skin on it.

I think you can add 2 and 2 .

[Mars-Chan]

Hey, hey, hey...let's not get Marsy mad about Micheal Jackson....

I just like him is all...

*Whistles "Thriller"*

[The Defibrillator]

Oh, don't get me wrong, he's a great singer and dancer, he's just creepy.

*shudders and thinks of that ad for Scary Movie 3*

[Mars-Chan]

To quote Vincent Price:

"Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand,
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize y'awls neighborhood, and whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down, Must stand and face the hounds of h***, and rot inside a corpse's shell, The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of fourty thousand years, And grizzly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom, and though you fight to stay alive, your body begins to shiver, for no mere mortal can resist the evil of....the Thriller!"
((Intro into manicial laugh, into deep echo))

*SHUDDERS BIG TIME* DUDE! That thing freaks me out every time I hear it! *shudders*

And to the mods/Admins: I watched my language on that post...believe me...I wanted to put what was really there, but I didn't.

[That Matt Guy]

Heres one that used to creep me out.

AY CARUMBA!!!!
I can see why!

[Lanagirl]

Hi guys! I'm very glad to see you all again! Well, what can I say?
It'll be nothing if I say that I witness paranormal activity here often.
We're not far away from the Motherland of Vlad Cepesh if you know who he is... or was...
I must say that I AM AFRAID OF GHOSTS. You never know what kind of spirit you're dealing with. Of course it's not like in the film:"The Thirteen ghosts" but...

I may tell you about one case. My beloved and wonderful grandma died 6 months ago. When we burried her we came back home depressed and sad. Believe or not BUT DAMN, SUDDENLY I heard steps in the kitchen though there was not anyone there. I tried not to pay attention to the unpleasant sounds but I heard a whisper. It could not be my imagination. Whisper said:"Svetochka" Svetochka-it's my name in russian... svetlana you know...
For example as you say Dan=Danny, Ann-Anny - to show that you love this person... That's how grandmother always called me.
I was so scared that I called my mother and we both went for a long walk. On coming back home, I noticed a candle on the table. My uncle was praying for grandma's soul AND WE ALL SAW IT- A HUGE STRANGE SPHERE OVER THE CANDLE. GOD, IT WAS SOOO BEAUTIFUL AND SCARY AT THE SAME MOMENT. It lasted for 4-5 seconds then the candle suddenly went out...
I went to bed trying to realize WHAT CAN IT MEAN? CAN IT BE FOR REAL?
I cannot be crazy cause everybody can hear the voices and steps and that sphere. I saw my grandma in my dream. She looked very sad but VERY YOUNG AS IF SHE WERE ONLY 30. She said that she was ok and she did not want to hurt me. she said good-bye and I woke up. I went to the church and the priest explained me that the strange sphere could be... her soul... She was telling good-bye to all of us.
Believe or not, I don't hear the steps or voices anymore...
I saw gradma in my dreams 4 weeks ago. She came to advice me a good thing and she was right...
A simple and a true story.
Now I know that we can live after death.

[Mars-Chan]

SHEESH LANA!

Freak the SHELL out of me, why don't'cha....

[Leo656]

Kinda weird and not really a ghost story, but I did have a weird dream about my mother not long after she passed away. I dreamt we were in the house I grew up in, and I was coming downstairs to get breakfast, when I saw my mother just as I remembered her: a beer in one hand, a cigarette in the other, wearing her James Taylor t-shirt and looking slightly irritated at something. In my dream, we had the following conversation:

Me: Mom....?
Mom: Yeah, what? What do YOU want?
Me: Uh.... what are you doing here?
Mom: What, I'm not allowed to come SEE you now, is that it?
Me: Uh, no, it's just... uh... you're... you're DEAD.
Mom: (pause) Well isn't THAT just f*cking great! (sarcasm) Y'know, nobody ever feels like telling ME anything... buncha mother f*cking sones'a b*tches, tryin' to make MY life miserable... stupid c*ck s*cking mother f*ckers don't even bother telling me I'm f*cking DEAD...

After that I woke up, and it was weird to me because that's EXACTLY how she talked when she was drunk and pissed off LoL. Kinda made me feel like she never really "left"...

[Mars-Chan]

That's just plain uber creepy. At night, I swear I can hear a voice outside my window telling me to "Come outside! COME OUTSIDE!!" and I have to ignore it due to the fact ANOTHER voice says: "GO BACK TO SLEEP! YOU NEED TO SLEEP! DON'T GO OUT THERE!"

I seriously think my guardian angel and some kind of evil demon are fighting over me every single night....

my campus is haunted. There has been several unexplained deaths that have occurred on the campus grounds.

this happened in the 1960s-1970s

By Chad Lingwood
Campus Press Staff Writer

He's been diagnosed by one prison psychologist as "a sleeping tiger," capable of murdering again. Law officers describe him as remorseless -- a cold-blooded killer. And the attorney who convicted him said he has an aura of pure evilness.
He is Joseph Dyre Morse, 66, a former CU janitor who hopes to win release from prison on May 6, after spending three decades locked up for one of Boulder's most heinous crimes.
Morse was convicted of raping and killing Elaura Jaquette, a university student, in the west tower of Macky Auditorium. The attack, which occurred on a sweltering July afternoon in 1966, was so savage that friends of the victim couldn't recognize her -- so vicious that memories of the gory crime scene still haunt investigators.
Now, to the concern of those who caught and convicted the father of five and murderer of one, Morse might be paroled.
"They better not release him," warned Lowell Friesen, a Boulder Police detective who interrogated the killer.
"I talked to that guy enough to know he should never be let out," he said angrily. "Never."
Morse was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. But without a witness or confession, he escaped the death penalty. A state statute at the time allowed lifers to become eligible for parole after 10 years. The statute, which was widely criticized, is no longer on the books, but it does ensure Morse a chance at freedom each year until he dies. So far, Morse has had 20 such chances.
Quintin Hammond, one of the jurors who convicted the janitor was struck by Morse's indifference in the court room.
"He wasn't too concerned with what he had done," he said. "I think he has no business in society."
Marc Speelmon, a campus police officer who arrived at the murder scene shortly after it was discovered, said he's plagued with chronic nightmares from the grisly murder. He said Morse should have been executed.
"I think he should be dead," he said. "I saw what he did to that lady."
Hammond said he and several other jurors thought that Morse might have deserved the gas chamber.
"We didn't have that option, but it's something we definitely would've moved on," he said.
The parole board weighs several factors before granting parole. One is determining if the inmate has been rehabilitated. The board considers whether the inmate, if presented with similar circumstances, would kill again.
Joe French, who worked as a young lawyer for the prosecution, doubts Morse has lost his lethal impulses.
"There was a meanness about this guy that was so deep," he said. "You could feel it so much that there's no way time in prison is ever going to change him."
French said he never will forget sharing an elevator with Morse up to the courtroom.
"You could just feel the violence wrapped in him," he recalled. "This is a mean guy, a sick guy."
Other people, such as former parole board member John Zapien, agree.
"I guess some people can be rehabilitated, said Zapien, who visited Morse in prison.
"But God, when you look at the whole thing," he said. "The state still has an obligation to that family, to that poor girl. I think rehabilitation is out of the question."
For 14 years, "Tex," as he was called by friends, denied he had killed Jaquette. It wasn't until a parole hearing in 1980 that he shed light on what had happened.
Morse admitted that he knew the victim from her summer job in the Office of Admissions. He said she was friendly and outgoing. The day of the crime, Morse said, they both went up to the organ practice room in Macky.
There she refused his sexual advances, he said, and "one thing led to another and what happened happened.
"I'm sure sorry for what happened," Morse said.
During the same hearing, Morse told the board that marital problems were part of the reason he murdered Jaquette. He said he had "no one to talk with."
Morse's bid for release could be hindered by a number of conduct violations at the maximum security prison in Canon City. The convicted killer has exposed himself to women several times.
But his most serious offense occurred on July 3, 1982, when he allegedly attacked and sexually assaulted a woman bicycling past the prison.
Morse was working as a groundskeeper outside the facility's walls. He dashed across a field and tackled the 18-year-old woman.
Officials said Morse punched her in the face and dragged her behind a building, where he tried to take her clothes off.
The woman escaped, and charges were never filed.
Shortly before his hearing in 1980, Morse underwent a psychological evaluation. The prison psychologist concluded that Morse was a "sleeping tiger," who posed a parole risk because he could kill again.
It took Boulder police nearly a month to arrest Morse. Between the time of murder and his arrest, Morse continued to punch-in as a roving janitor. Some university employees won't soon forget those 27 days when they had a killer amongst them.
Alan Cass, who worked as a lighting director in Macky, was shocked when he was told that the friendly custodian was the suspect.
"We had spent quite a bit of time during coffee breaks just visiting," he said. "It surprised me because he would have been one of the people I would have least expected.
"He seemed like an all right guy to me," Cass said. "But it goes to show you that some people can really fool you."
Like most people, Cass believes Morse should never be released. And he wonders if the janitor's conscience might someday lead him to fully confess to the murder.
"He's got to have had some really sleepless nights over the years," he said. "There's no way you could do what he did and be able to really turn it off. He's got to be haunted by that."

Within a small, L-shaped room in the west tower, grisly reminders of a crime committed nearly three decades ago still remain. Tucked behind two locked doors and a steep, winding staircase is an organ practice room where, in 1966, a CU student was raped and bludgeoned to death by a university janitor.
Inside the 12-by-12-foot room, a hardwood floor still bears a puddle-sized blood stain. Along a baseboard, dark streaks of what looks like crusted blood descend like petrified tears toward the floor. An old, dilapidated organ still sits in the room's center. Its lower right side bears a deep pockmark from an errant swing the killer made with a wooden plank. Tiny spatter marks lie just beneath the dent.
Although tall, rectangular windows invite sunlight, the room remains dark and dank. Flies, dead and dying, litter the floor.

Blood was spattered on every wall, 12-feet-high in some places according to a police report. The victim's body -- still warm -- was naked below the waist. Teeth were strewn across the reddened floor. Jaquette, 20, was beaten so badly that authorities had to use fingerprints and a childhood scar to identify her.


Also apparently a student died in a dorm over christmas break in the 1980s due to starvation.....this one is super-unexplained.
