We went ghost hunting last night

[Nzoner]

Looking for something unique to do this Halloween weekend?

Sometime back the Travel Channel did a special on Atchison,Kansas(supposedly the most haunted town in Kansas)and just 15 or so miles from St Joe.

Anyhow,the city offers an hour long trolley ride with a host who tells about the numerous sightings and ghost stories over the last 100 plus years in Atchison.

In the spirit of halloween here's a link to the official page (http://www.legendsofamerica.com/OZ-HauntedAtchison.html) if anyone's interested in this type of thing.

If you go to the site be sure to check out the top of page 2 as for me it was by far the most interesting house and story of the tour,in fact the place is empty today,although it sits in a great location on the river bluff and it's been featured on a couple of other tv shows.

Personally,I thought it was worth the 8 bucks but there's no leaving the trolley as all of the homes but the one above are still occupied.

I'd live there.

I read about that trolley tour, but also read that it was pretty much sold out for the sason... looks cool as hell, though.

[Bwana]

I'd live there.

Likewise, that's a sweet pad.

That place is actually occupied,the one that isn't is pictured below.According to our guide last night the owner will rent the place for $50 for one evening but other than a few local fraternities no one has taken the offer.

The story that goes with the house is quite eerie,in fact the husband of the family that last lived there was documented on the tv series Sightings with having bloody scratches appear on his body whenever in a room that a little girl named Sallie died in.

The special that aired on Travel Channel showed some of the Sightings footage which captured some of the marks appearing on film.

Draw your own conclusions.

No you wouldn't. You just think you would.

Go to the Johnson County Industrial Airport.

On the west side, is an abandoned hangar. That entire area is haunted. You won't have to wait long before something creepy will happen.

It too has been featured on A&E, Discovery Channel, and the Travel Channel.

In my late teens, I worked there for three years. Three years of hearing strange noises and things breaking whenever I was near the hangar. I always, always blamed it on the wind or stray animals. Never did I ever suspect the place to be haunted, nor did I ever hear of the potential for it to be haunted. I was a firm non-believer in that kind of stuff.

I worked the late shift and one night, I was over by the hangar fueling the jet fuel truck. It was the dead of summer and still quite humid. All of a sudden I heard a voice- I couldn't make out the words, but it sounded like someone was in great pain. I couldn't see anything and at first thought my co-workers were messing with me as we always liked to play pranks on each other.

So, I shrugged it off. All of a sudden it felt like someone was closing in on me and the sounds grew louder. Before I knew it, it was cold. It was 85 degrees out, but I could see my own breath and I was shivering as though it was 20. I immediately stopped fueling, jumped in the truck and drove back to the airport. I was scared shitless and shaking like a leaf on a tree. The guys were all wondering what was wrong, but I wouldn't say anything.

We all went to the bar, and after a couple of drinks, I was still shivering and the guys were worried. So, I reluctantly told them what happened and they all laughed 'cause they were surprised I didn't know...But, I do now. I know...It all made sense after that experience- all those eerie noises and things breaking and moving around and stuff...truly freaky.

Check it out for yourself....

Put up the fifty and we'll see.

[Valiant]

sounds like a planet get together...

[Fairplay]

Thats a wild story Cosmic.

I have a friend that has some wierd storys to tell of these warehouses he would guard at night in an old place in St.Louis

He finally had enough of being spooked out and quit.
Like the many that did before him.

[Frazod]

Put up the fifty and we'll see.

I somehow doubt either of us will find the time to hook up in Atchison at any time soon, but I can assure you, staying in a place like this is easier said than done.

I've slept in a haunted house. It's bad enough when all the damned thing does is stomp around in the dark. In this house, the ghost physically injures people. F#ck that.

There's an idea,we could rent it for 37 Forever next year.

[Halfcan]

Cool story cosmic. I believe in that shit. I wouldn't stay in that girls house-I saw that story. They scratches appear from nnowhere right before the camera. The guy was bleeding.

[onescrewleftuntwisted]

me and a bunch of friends once tryed to spend the night in an old abandoned church, i never saw, heard, or felt anything, but after everyone else chickens out and runs away it's just not fun anymore

Bah. I'd take my chances.

I'll keep that in mind on your next visit up.

OK.

[StcChief]

I talked to a relator about this and they know people and have had clients that have bought/sold houses that were haunted....

Missouri doesn't have that as a disclosure item.

California does. Not sure about the rest of the states

piece of cake - you just need to make sure there are no TVs and bring a psychic midget with you.

a young priest and an old priest

[PastorMikH]

I'd stay there.


I'd be up for it too. 'Course after a night of praying, the house might be delivered by morning.

:)

[Fairplay]

This ghost house has the american flag a waving on it so it can't be all that bad.


Maybe it only haunts people who drive up in foreign cars.

Commies shouldn't stay there.

[Dunit35]

That Sallie house looks like it would be awesome to spend a few nights on.

[Digital Takawira]

how is it ghost hunting if you're riding a damn trolley. unless you're going in the houses, it's a tour, not ghost hunting.

True,but then again it sounded better than we went on a trolley tour last night.

This group in KC (http://www.kcghost.com/) goes on ghost hunts/tours in Union Cemetery. That place is creepy enough during the daytime - I don't think I'd make it at night - even with a group of people.

I noticed they have a pic of The Gargoyle House in Atchison on their site.Our tour went by there and according to the guide one of the previous owners who had decided to remove the statues from atop the house mysteriously fell to his death.

The owners since have opted to keep them.

Did you find the ghost of Tequila Sunrise?
