Halloween is back!

[Mosh_Mosh_Revolution]

Dunno, kid. I just posted the website. The validity of all of these things is immensely questionable.

Like I said, though, if you get a chance, check a few out. While real or not, sometimes it's good to just go and scare the shit out of yourself. n_x

Since I haven't been to 95% of the towns even listed, like I said, I can't stand behind the validity of any of these stories.

If you live in these places, though, and check some of them out, or have heard things from the people around you about these places, please let me know. I like paying a visit to the orb on Bruick, because it's very, very reliable. There's only been once that I went that I didn't see it. I would like to find another very reliable place like that, in my area or not, and visit there.

Jinchuu, the Hundred Steps thing sounded cool to me, too. =D At one point, I had a printed list of all this stuff and had highlighted all of the ones I wanted to check out. I just looked into the Garden Center place that you wanted to visit in Kokomo, too. Did you read the stories of previous residents of the place? Dear sweet mother of god...what was going on with those babies...... I could never, ever go there. That scares the shit out of me. Seriously. ;-;

Those "Orbs" the website keeps mentioning are what photographers call "Lens Flares," and are extreamly common, They are caused my light reflecting on the camera lens at odd angels. And as for the "Mists" they keep photographing, I can make the exact same effect with the "Dodge" tool on Photoshop.

I, personally, don't think this website has any validity at all.

I'm not talking about pictures.

Please visit Fort Wayne. I'll take you out to see it, and then you can be a skeptic when you see it with your own eyes.

I agree with Sin. A lot of people con things like this for their own reasons. But if you take it upon yourself to seek out some of these things, you'll find that your mind will be questioning what your eyes can clearly see.

i live maybe about a mile from Reder Road(Griffith) Its pretty tight.

A) You should check it out. Have you been there?

B) The article for Reder Road is longer than a lot of them. That story definitely exists in Griffith, doesn't it?


The story for Reder Road makes me doubtful. If you were to ask me straight out, I would tell you that I believe most easily in the presence of spirits. I believe in the feeling of being watched that you can get when you're all alone. Or feelings of dread or doom that come out of nowhere. I can believe in objects moving, footsteps, sounds, voices. These, among other things, I can believe on my own.

Believing that, when I go to this place, I'll be able to see a full-blown apparition, though, isn't realistic to me. And the stories that are started with the girlfriend and the boyfriend in a car and there's something outside of it...yeah, those don't work for me, either. They just don't seem real. At that point, they're just urban legends with maybe a bit of spirituality behind it.

Funny that the Reder Road one mentions that it happens the most around Halloween. Which isn't realistic to me at all, either. I've been out to Bruick Road in the dead of winter, and the orb's still been there.

[Dyme]

yeah. theres alot more stories about reder road that arent on that list. like theres a story about this one guy cuttin up a whole bunch if bodies and throwing them in a well or somethin and you can see the ghosts or some shit like that. i dont know the story exactly but thats pretty much it.

[Original Sin]

90% of urban legends are false, if I had to guess...but always remember that there is a little bit of truth behind most of them. Something started the legend, after all, and was interesting enough for people to start passing it around.
The majority of Ft. Wayne is haunted, actually. The list mentioned that, but it's pretty obvious. The place is a giant battle field, or was anyway, and there are bodies and unmarked graves scattered throughout the entire town.
If you're sensitive to spiritual activity, it's hard to go anywhere in fort wayne and not get find some kind of presence.

Decatur Central High School - The incident occurred in October of 1979. A car driven by a drunk driver crashed into the school auditorium killing one of the five girls in the vehicle. Strangely enough, the school's electricity would not work for several weeks after and the entire school smelled like burnt rubber. Every year, around the time of accident, the electricity still goes out and burnt rubber is smelt. Some people have even reported seeing a young female ghost walking up and down the stairs crying.

I go to this High School and a lot of people dont believe it and a lot do. I have been in the musicals and have spent a lot of time around the auditorium area. The crash and everything is true, and the smells are true around the time. The odd thing is that we have heard footsteps there and everything. A couple of older teachers have claimed to have seen her.

Post Road - When you turn on the street your car will cut off and won't start back. There was an accident with some kids on German Church Road around the 4000 block. All of the kids died. They were speeding, hit a bump, and flew off the road and into a tree. Now if you go down that street your car wont start.

Ummm... that never happened to me, and I drove down that street nearly everyday.

Fun Fact! The accident they're talking about happened to students at my high school during my senior year. Not everyone died though, two survived the crash, but one of them died in the hosipital. This site neglects to mention the drug paraphernalia found in the car at the time.

Just more pointing out more inconsistancies in the site (yeah, yeah, fish in a barrel...).

See, I like it when you guys can go about debunking this stuff.

I mean, I live in Fort Wayne. And as much as I'd like to see all this stuff for myself, I'll never be able to. Because even if I made a trip somewhere, I wouldn't necessarily be guaranteed to feel or see anything.

I'm not a big fan of high school ghosts. I know that they surely exist, to some extent, but... Here, let me put it this way. My old high school's ghost is called "Barbara the Stage Ghost." Apparently things come up missing in our school's productions of plays and musicals, and they hear sounds from up on the catwalk while nobody is up there, etc. Personally, I think that their "stage ghost" is a negligence on the part of the students and over excited drama kids.

But that's just me.

When I know I'm alone, I've had the feeling that I'm being watched at that school before, though. But I wouldn't mind spending the night there. There's some places where, when I get that feeling, I wouldn't ever go in that place alone. But I would have no qualms about staying a night in my old high school, presence or not. *shrugs*

At least half those places sound like they were written by a teenager anyway. "omgz if u go hear on a full moon on haloween and r drunk and stoned ull hear footstepz and feel cold spotz that culdn't be teh product of an overactive imagination"

Especially the ones that say you're supposed to die, if you died doing it, then who the hell would tell anyone about it?

[malictus]

Don't believe everything you read...

... or see in a movie. Take the new Exorcism of Emily Rose' movie for example --- it's a decent movie, as long as you take it as a work of FICTION. Too bad the movie purports to be the 'real story'. Yeah, right. See for yourself here:

We've got about a month and a half left until it rolls around once again!

I was messing around just a bit ago, and I found a site that I found very helpful in some fun ventures that I've taken in the last year.

http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/haunt ... ndiana.htm

It's a huge list of haunted places in Indiana. Even if you don't believe in the stuff, it's an entertaining read, and they're very interesting places to check out.

I've been to the Bruick Road location mentioned in the Fort Wayne section many times, and the things that happen there never cease to amaze me. I wish that I would have been able to visit the Byron Health Center (a.k.a. the Stairway to Hell) before they tore it down, but alas, I was too late.

Check out some of these places for yourselves, though! n_n

Also, use this thread to post pictures of costumes you plan on wearing, or plans that you have for Halloween!

uhm my road is on that site..I live on Primrose Rd in South Bend...check the info...lololol..

well I actually don't live ON the haunted part..but its the thought that counts...read all of it...cause all the area that are " haunted" are near my house...who wants to visit me?...hahaha

There is no such thing as paranormal activity.
This is my opinion.
