Hi folks! Sorry again for not sending a story
yesterday. I was doing
so good there for a
while. I will really try to send one
every day!
My mind is just on other
things these days.

Subject: Story of ghost I
saw in
Date:
I would like to share an
experience I had not too long ago. Go
ahead and
mail me back or post telling
me what you think. People who are from
around
spooked me.
I will start off telling you
the story behind the story. There are
several
versions of the story, this
is the one most popular:
There is a long narrow
stretch of deserted road near
ago, a guy broke up with his
girlfriend, got piss drunk and started riding his
motorcycle down this
road. At the end of the road is a very
sharp hairpin
turn. The guy didn't make
the turn, and ended up wrecking into the barbed-wire fence
straight ahead and was
decapitated.
Now the story is if you go
to this road at night, flash your lights three
times, you will see the bike
coming down the road.
MY STORY
A couple of friends and
myself went to this road one night about
My two friends had been
there two other times and saw the same thing every time.
There was another car full
of people from the nearby college, Miami Oxford
University. They left about fifteen minutes after we got
there. Well It was
just the three of us out
there. We flashed our lights several
times and
nothing seemed to happen.
Well we decided to give it
one more try before we left. We did and
five
minutes later about 1/2 mile
down the road a very very bright single light
came down this road. It seemed to be coming very fast, but it was
not
lighting up the road in
front of it like a car headlight does.
It was coming closer
and closer. It was so bright. Well the light was about 100 yards away when
my
friend in the back-seat said
"Uh Jeff?". The exact instant I started the car,
I mean no lapse in time
whatsoever, the light went right out.
You should know
that I didn't turn on my
lights until I was well under my way. I
took off
like a bat out of hell
towards where the light went out. I got
to the spot in
seconds. I really wanted to see if there was anything
there. A car a
motorcycle or kid with a
flashlight, anything. I slowed down to
where the
light went out. There was absolutely nothing around.
You have to know the terrain
to understand this better. The road is a long
deserted stretch of road
with only a couple of houses on it. It
is only wide
enough for one car. The road is straight but it is hilly in
parts. The spot
where the curve is and the
spot where we saw the light is very hilly and you
can see pretty far down the
road. The light we saw was steady and
not moving
up and down like a vehicle
would on such up and down hills. It was
really
bizarre.
Has anybody out there seen
the same thing or heard the story? I
know by
talking to several different
people that has gone to see it say the exact
same thing. What does everyone think? I know that there are a lot of skeptics
out there. Some will say that we saw it in our minds,
others will say there is
someone out there amusing
sight-seers. But I honestly think I saw
something.
Later
Jeff

I attend the
old, originally starting out
as the St. Mary's Institute in 1850. One
building on campus, Liberty
Hall, was the dormitory for the Marianist
brothers that ran the
school. The upper floor of the building
was the
infirmary.
With that in mind, jump
forward many years. On a night before
finals, a
group of students were
studying on the upper floor of Liberty Hall, which
had been made into a faculty
office building. During the course of
their
studying, an elderly man
approached them. They noticed that his
style of
dress was rather old, but
many of the brothers dress that way. He
asked
them what they were
studying, which was history, and then proceeded to give
them hints about what points
they should concentrate their study session
on. The next day when they took the test, it
covered the exact same
material the old man had
told them to concentrate on. Wanting to
thank
him, they returned to
Liberty Hall, thinking that he had an office there,
but they could not find him,
and no one recognized their description.
They then went to Alumni
Hall, which is where many of the elderly retired
brothers live, thinking that
maybe he lived there. But they could not
find him there, either. They gave up looking for him. A short time
later, one member of the
group was looking at photos of the old school
when she came upon a group
picture. Standing in the back row was
the
same man who had helped them
study. The picture dated back to the
early
days of the school. After doing some research, they found out
that the
man in the picture had been
a history teacher at the institute and had
died of an illness in the
Liberty Hall infirmary.
AZTEC (aka dave)
BTW, Woodland Cemetery is
located adjacent to the school. Woodland
is
featured in "Haunted
Ohio" as the site of a glowing gravestone and a
weeping girl, both
connected. According to the story, it
was a student
in one of the dorms
overlooking the cemetery that noticed the glowing
gravestone. I haven't read it in a while, so I can't
retell it. Sorry.

I am convinced that the
Piqua Hotel, or the Fort Piqua Hotel among other
names is haunted. Located in
Piqua, Ohio, I had the ?pleasure to tour its
abandoned rooms in 1992 as a
reported for the Piqua Daily Call. I was
writing the story, and I
took along two other curious reporters and a
photographer. All but one of
the reporters and I were mighty nervous.
There have been several
unexplained deaths there and reported hauntings.
In the early seventies, a
police officer and a suspect exchanged fire in
front of a large mirror
(which is one of the few original items still in
the hotel) and both died. A
salesman or a porter, I forget which,
was
crushed to death by a sample
case in the elevator. The top floor was the
home for the servants and
prostitutes (even though it's an elegant hotel).
I tried to get the current
owner (who is supposed to renovate the place,
but hasn't to my knowledge)
to have Chris Woodyard, the author of Haunted
Ohio to come and evaluate
it, but she didn't want that kind of publicity.
It's a mega creepy place and
Piqua is located on Interstate 75 at about
the 80 mile marker (about 80
miles north of the Kentucky line).
Anyone else familiar with
this? It was built in Grand Hotel style in 1891
and was somewhat of a white
elephant. In its later years, it was used for
low-income housing. The only
thing there now is a flower shop in the
entrance way.
The Piqua Hotel! It's
mega-creepy!

AT Kent State University in
Ohio, it is said that the large theatre in the
Music and Speech building is
haunted by G. Harry Wright a former professor.
G. Harry was a bit of a
chauvinist and he causes trouble on productions that
have female stage managers
running the shows. Apparently a female s.m. called a
wrong cue sent the theater
to black, causing Harry to trip and fall down some stairs
and either killed him outright
or set off the heart attack that did kill him.

I am a student a Kent State
University. I'm sure all of you are
aware
of what happened on May 4,
1970, at KSU. For those who don't here's
a
recap.
Some students gathered in the Commons, a
big grassy field near
Front Campus. They had agreed to meet there a few days
later to
protest against the U.S.
invading Cambodia. The mayor flipped
out,
called the governor, who
called in the National Guard. Well, on
May
4th, the Victory Bell, which
is in the Commons, rang, and the students
assembled. At 12:24 P.M. the National Guard opened fire,
killing four
students, wounding nine.
Now that you know the
history of the commons, let me proceed.
The dorm I live in is right
next to the Commons, and I can see the
Victory Bell from my room.
Many nights I'll be woken up by the bell
ringing. When I look out, there is no one there, but
the bell still
rings. (It's not the wind. The bell is very heavy. People have
trouble ringing it) There are times when I would be cutting
across
the commons at night to go
to my dorm and sense things ( I have always
be able to sense
things). I never thought much of
it...Until this
week.
On May 2nd, I was cutting
across the Commons, as usual. Well, this
night I got a little closer
to the Victory Bell than normal, and I
felt a sense of despair in
the air. I sat down and closed my eyes,
and I sensed someone near
me. I opened my eyes, and before me was
a
spirit. I was shaped like a human, but had no
definable features.
Soon 3 others had
appeared. The Victory Bell began to ring
once
again, on it's own. After a period of time, the spirits began to
leave, and the first one to
appear smiled at me. It was not a real
smile, but a slight uplift
of depressed energy. Soon that sprit was
gone, too.
I know a girl who had the
same thing happen to her the year before, at
the same time . ( it was around 11:00 P.M.) Like me, she has the
ability to sense
spirits. She said that after she saw the
spirits of
those who were slain, she
seemed to be protected from harm....
If anyone has had
experiences similar to this, or wants to comment,
fell free to E-Mail me.

I'm a freshman at Kenyon college in Ohio, and
my school has a reputation
for being haunted. in the 1949, old kenyon, the oldest dorm on
campus, burnt
down. nine students were
killed in the fire (also, kenyon was all men at the time
but there are rumors that
there were women in the dorm at the time, but since the
school never acknowledged
that no one is sure although some of the ghosts
reported are
female-supposedly spirits searching for burial.) Anyway, old
kenyon was rebuilt, only the
ceilings of the rooms were higher. so
students
have reported seeing half a
ghost...the ghost would be standing where the
floor was before the
fire. some have reported hearing cries
of "help" and "get me
out" in rooms
supposedly occupied by students who died.
there are lots more
stories, but I'm tired
now. there is a book called haunted Ohio
which has a
chapter on kenyon. it's by Chris woodyard. it's really interesting. the
gates of hell are supposedly
located on our campus:)
sweet dreams,
kt

Hi,
Welcome to the
newsgroup. I'm originally from Chicago
and will share a story from many that I have.
My parent once bought an old
fixer-upper in the Near-North Side of Chicago.
It was a two story, full basement and an attic. The attic was large enough to be occupied by
one or two people.
We lived there for a while
then moved out after many years. My dad rented the two apartments. My pops keep
the basement for storage and did not rent the attic because it needed some
repair.
Well one day, my brother and
I went out to collect the rent from this difficult tenant (the guy was always
late with his rent, always have a lot of people living in the apartment, fights
on weekends, littering the area, etc., etc., in other words a real creep, lets
call him Mr. C for creep.).
This day Mr. C complained
about the "tenant" in the attic. He claimed that the guy in the attic
would start pacing back and forth many nights at around 3 A.M., and was angry
because the guy upstairs in the attic always thumping around so loudly. Mr. C said he went upstairs one night
to complain to the guy
upstairs but there was no answer. And as soon as he was getting to sleep the
thumping would start again.
Well, after hearing this
complain- my brother and I looked at each other and told Mr C. That the attic
was empty and always has been. At that golden opportunity, we said that it must
be "Charlie" the ghost.
The tenent needless to say
promptly moved out. We haven't had the courage to check this out at 3 A.M. This was many years ago. The attic is still
empty.
Angie:)
(sorry for the length of the
story, But it's a ghost story nonetheless.)
