« on: July 20, 2004, 10:42:19 PM »
Corpus Christi - Bill Witt Park Airplane Hanger - Haunted by the spirit of a man who hung himself in the rafters of the hanger. He has been seen looking through the broken windows of the now abandoned hangar.

Corpus Christi - Bokenkamp - The night shift has heard voices, and footsteps.  Mainly in the front ICU wards and the first unit.  Staff and residents alike have seen shadows, heard footsteps and whispering. Many of the staff have complained of cold spots and the feeling of something or someone brushing up against them.

Corpus Christi - Calallen High School - The elevator by the Theater Arts room is said to be haunted. At night it opens and closes by itself when no one is there to push the buttons. It's been sighted once or twice by students who are there for extracurricular activities. One of the janitors has seen the ghost of a young teenage girl roaming the halls when the students have left.

Corpus Christi - Days Inn hotel - It is said that the spirit of murdered Tejano singer Selena still wanders restlessly about the door way of the room where she was shot as well as the hospital she ran to and eventually died in. Though she is never seen, people have reported hearing faint singing as well as the smell of roses followed by an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Corpus Christi - Del Mar College {east campus} - Rm.222 - in the Memorial Classroom building is said to be haunted. Late night custodial staff as well as security personnel have repcrted noises such as howling and laughing coming from around the room. On one specific occasion a security officer arming the building heard what he described as "Furniture being moved around." Mind you, it was 1:00 am.

Corpus Christi - Heritage Park Museum  - There are four houses that are haunted. In one (Sidbury House) a Child supposedly haunts the children’s room by playing with the dolls and moving stuff and knocking things down. In another (The Galvan House) a ghost is said to tap unexpected people on the shoulder a on the second floor and someone once heard footsteps leading up to the attic. In another house(A restaurant named The Christian House Bistro there have been reports that at night a lady with a long old fashioned dress and a big hat and shoes is seen walking into the front door and disappearing. People have only seen the backside of her. Then in another house ( The MacCambell House) a ghost named Mary, who died of pneumonia, is said to not let tour guides in the house or to cause noises or if you go on the patio on the second floor she has locked tour guides out on the porch by slamming the door shut then locking it so all you have to hope for if you get locked out is that you can wave somebody down and they'll come help you.

Corpus Christi - Nueces River - Many years ago a woman and her baby were home alone when their house caught fire. Out and realized they both perished in the fire. It is said that she walks the river and moans in mourning for her baby.

Corpus Christi - The Old Courthouse - it has been scientifically proven that many people have been hung and sentenced to death there. The rumor is that a young boy went to the courthouse on the night of Halloween in the early 1900's. He did not believe in ghost until this incident. He went up to the 10th floor where all the death sentences went through. He walked over to a window to look at a rope that what looked like blood on it. When some force throw him over the edge of the window. Specialist found blood from the rope one the window seal where he tried to hold on. He hit the cement face first.

Corpus Christi - The USS Lexington - It has been said that in the boiler room of the ship there is a spirit of a young man in a sailor outfit who will tell you where things are located.

Corpus Christi - Wilson Tower - The Wilson Plaza historical development started in 1927. In 1951 Mr. Wilson built a 17-story office tower with a four-story penthouse. The penthouse was Wilson's pride and joy. The 20th floor was finished out as a game room with a private bar constructed on a grand scale of mahogany and trimmed in tufted leather and brass. The view from the penthouse was described as rivaling that of the Top of the Mark Restaurant in San Francisco. It was the scene of many "invitation only" parties attended by Corpus' elite, where Wilson negotiated many of his major business deals. Most of the talk centered on "Sam's" parties and card games. The 21st floor contained guest rooms for "out-of-town" clients. After Mr. Wilson's death in 1957, Mrs. Wilson hosted society, civic, bridge and debutante functions in the penthouse. Today the Tower is said to still be inhabited by Mrs. Wilson, overseeing what goes on in the building. Many Tenants have witnessed shadows and sounds while alone in their offices, especially in the early mornings or late nights. Elevators also have unusual happenings. Stopping on different floors that are not lighted up, with an eerie feeling of someone else catching a ride with you.

lol...

the building i'm sat in right now is a huge several hundred year old manor house, it used to be on the edge of town, but the town has grown past it. i've worked overnight before and certain areas of this building are creepy as fuck

here are some i could find

Taunton Castle is said to be haunted by the tramp of soldiers bringing the Sedgemoor prisoners to the Bloody Assizes in 1685 after Monmouth's Rebellion.
The landing of Castle House is haunted by a man in riding dress and heavy boots. He is dark and wears a full Charles II wig. He has a sword, a sash, gauntlets, and a heavy pistol in his belt. He tramps up and down restlessly.


.. the castle is now a hotel, the queen has stayed there. along with oasis :)



TAUNTON

Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre, Coal Orchard

A "Grey Lady" paces the Backstage Corridor of this Grade II Listed former Georgian Brewery in this Somerset town. Her connection with the Theatre might lie in the fact that the Scene Dock was built over a former Mortuary.

The A38 Hitchhiker
Nr Taunton, Somerset

The solitary and ghostly hitchhiker haunting different stretches of road is an image that has prevailed over the years.

However, a phantom hitchhiker, said to wear a grey overcoat, appears to be haunting a stretch of the A38 near Taunton, in Somerset.

In August 1970 a woman from Taunton encountered the apparition standing in the centre of the road and was forced to veer to avoid him.

Stopping to tell him what she thought of his choice of place to stand, she discovered that he had disappeared.

Local newspapers found a number of people who had encountered the same apparition at the same place, including a motorcyclist who had crashed as a result.

These local reports prompted lorry driver Harry Unsworth to tell how he had encountered the man several times in 1958.

At the first meeting Unsworth gave the man a lift, having picked him up wet through from the rain at three o'clock in the morning.

The man in the grey overcoat spent the journey of four miles recounting tales of accidents that had occured during the last few days and was not exactly bright company for the driver.

Mr Unsworth picked up the same passenger several times, usually in the pouring rain and wandering along with a torch in his hand.


----------

The Skull Of Theophilus Broome
Higher Chilton Farm, nr Yeovil, Somerset

You often hear creepy stories of dismembered parts of the body haunting people so that they might be reunited with their body. But at Higher Chilton Farm the opposite is true.

The skull of Theophilus Broome has remained at the farm at the request of its owner who died in 1670. A Civil War soldier during the 1640s, he had become horrified at the mutilation of bodies carried out by Royalist troops at the time.

Mr Broome was scared that his head might be severed from his body and impaled on a stick as a trophy, common practice for Royalist troops.

So before he died he asked his sister to ensure that his skull never left the farmhouse.

It seems that Theophilus is a bit of a cantankerous ghost, and when people have tried to remove the skull they have been subject to terrible screaming until it is returned.

Likewise when TV crews have tried to film there, they are sent packing by the old ghost.

He doesn't even seem to want to be put back with his body all these years down the line, when someone attempted to do it the spade broke in half as they tried to exhume the body.

It seems that as long as the skull remains in the house, and that the house is well looked after, the ghost can be very nice, but mess around with either and there'll be skullduggery before you know it.

Los Angeles - Venice Beach - Westminster Ave. Apartment Bldg. - Charlie Chaplin used to own several of the large buildings that sit near or along the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles. In the day, these buildings were commonly used as bath houses or lodging for wealthy vacationers. Today, these buildings have been converted to apartment buildings for the local artists, musicians, and other creative types that now inhabit Venice Beach. Incidentally these buildings cradle around the famous Building Number 26 on Westminster Ave. It has been documented in print as well as Chaplin's films that during the early 1900's he did much of his filming in and around these properties on Westminster Avenue. In 1915, during the filming of "By the Sea" Chaplin's stunt double mysteriously disappeared from the film set. Production was put on hold for three days and a full on man-hunt was instated. After turning up empty-handed, it was assumed that the long time friend of Chaplin's must have quit and left on his on recognizance. The studios that were financially backing the film, were losing money. Under haste, Chaplin was forced to replace his stunt double and continue production of the film. On the seventh day after the disappearance, Chaplin returned to his dressing room after a day of shooting. His dressing room was located in the basement of the now famous Building number 26 on Westminster. It is documented that Chaplin, while accompanied by an entourage, entered the room to discover his stunt double and long time friend lying dead on the floor, wet and covered in seaweed. The man appeared to have been deceased for several days. How he had ended up on the floor of Chaplin's dressing room after missing for almost an entire week, is still to this day a complete mystery. The "now" inhabitants of the famous building claim to still hear strange noises emanating from the walls of somebody walking through shallow water. Other noises include moaning, and sounds of someone distantly crying for help. In addition to the assortment of disturbing sounds, there have been several sightings of what appears to be an apparition of a man bound by the hands and feet standing in luminous corners of the large building. Quite possibly the most blood curdling detail of all these sightings is what the man is seen wearing. He's dressed the same way he was the day he disappeared. A Chaplin-esque tuxedo coat with tails and the proverbial black derby hat.

Los Angeles - Vista Linda hospital - the elevators, operate by themselves... there are terrible odors in the third floor, the smell of sick people. cold spots, and sudden chills. In the crematory there’s lack of air, its very dry and eerie when you walk in.

well even the most well known haunted place is considered mass histeria to a non-believer, so i guess any ghost story has a hard time standing up to any scrutiny
