Our Strange World

 The small town of Stull, Kansas is home to one of the most infamous urban legends in the United States: the Gates of Hell. The legend claims that the Stull Cemetery is one of seven gateways to Hell, and that the Devil himself appears there twice a year, on Halloween and the spring equinox. The legend of the Gates of Hell in Stull can be traced back to the early 1970s, when a student newspaper at the University of Kansas published an article claiming that the cemetery was haunted. The article quickly spread, and soon Stull became a popular destination for thrill-seekers and paranormal investigators. Over the years, the legend of the Gates of Hell has only grown more elaborate. Some people claim that the cemetery is surrounded by a barrier of invisible energy that prevents people from leaving once they enter. Others say that the Devil has been seen appearing in the cemetery, sometimes accompanied by demons and other creatures. Of course, there is no scientific evidence to support the ex

The derelict building in the photo above is not a place to enter lightly. Though the small village of Borley, near Sudbury, UK, is not the sort of place one would associate with ghosts, it has an awful reputation because it was the site of the infamous Borley Rectory, reputedly the ‘Most Haunted House in England’. Built in 1863 for the Reverend Henry Bull, it sits on the site of an ancient monastery. The ghost of a mournful nun who patrolled the so-called ‘Nun’s Walk’ had often been seen there. An old tale claimed that she had fallen in love with a monk from the Borley Monastery – to much outrage – and the two had tried to elope together but had been quickly tracked down. The monk was executed and the nun bricked up in the cellars of the monastic buildings. The ghost stories began to surface when the Daily Mirror ran a story in 1929 titled “Tales of Headless Coachmen and a Lonely Nun”. It was shortly after that a soon-to-be famous paranormal researcher named Harry Price

Plymouth County Hospital/Hanson Tuberculosis Hospital is located in Hanson Massachusetts. The hospital was built during the late 1910s, primarily as a Tuberculosis hospital. The facility was operational from 1923 until it closed its doors for good in 1991. In 1982, the hospital officially became the Cranberry Specialty Hospital and recieved people who were terminal ill. In 1991, the last remaining patients were transferred to a different location. The Spanish-style architecture of the Plymouth County Hospital is much different than most of the New England hospitals, which is a look that makes it very unique. The Spanish-style design gives it an almost ominous appearance. The sprawling 56-acre property was sold from Plymouth County to the town of Hanson in 1999. In 2001, 23 of the 56 acres were sold to Baran Partners who planned to build townhouses and an assisted-living facility, but those plans never came through. Many people that has visited the hospital believe that it is

With over 600 deaths since the lake's creation, it is no wonder that some consider Lake Lanier the most haunted place in Georgia. Lake Lanier (named after Sidney Lanier, who was a poet) is a reservoir located in the northern part of the state of Georgia. It was created by the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in 1956, and is also fed by the waters of the Chestatee River. The lake is rather large and has approximately 692 miles of shoreline. From its construction in 1956 to modern day times, the lake has a dark and troubled past. During its creation the land was flooded to create the lake. Over 700 families had to be relocated. And it wasn't just the families that were disturbed, there were also 20 cemeteries that had to be moved. The problem is they didn't move all of the graves and some are still located at the bottom of the lake.   The skeleton of a woman who disappeared in 1958, was discovered by a crew of construction workers and since then

(Source: WLBT) By Josh Carter January 25, 2021 BRANDON, Miss. (WLBT) - It sounded like someone was knocking on the walls. That’s how Whitney Merritt describes the beginning of the nearly three weeks of alleged paranormal activity her family endured after receiving a Christmas present last month. The present was a vintage doll carriage. Her mother had gotten it from a friend of a friend and had gifted it to Whitney’s daughter, where it sat by the Christmas tree for the first few days. The knocking, Whitney says, began at the beginning of the year. They would hear it on the walls of their Brandon home which they have recently moved into. The sounds grew so loud that on two occasions, Whitney walked to the front door thinking someone was outside. It was midnight so Whitney called her husband, Michael, who works nights....

The Mason Children’s Home, was a house that was built in the early 1920’s. It is located east of Highway 77. This home was built by the Masons to provide a comfortable warm place for children whose parents no longer could care for them. It ran until 1978 when Oklahoma voted to have a foster care system. There are rumors of children being beaten to death, staff committing suicide, and other horrible incidents at this home.  No one knows exactly what happened within this house during the time it housed hundreds of children but now there is definitely unrest. Many people have seen a girl begging to be rescued, There is also a woman who walks down the main hallway and many people report hearing crying and screaming, probably from the children who were abandoned by parents.   You can read more about the hauntings and history at the link below: https://www.kgou.org/post/how-curious-haunted-childrens-home
