Voted : James Dean's Car
The story of the cursed car of James Dean.
As the story unfolds, James Dean a movie star of the 50’s that had girls swooning died in a mysterious car crash in 1955. He found this wonderful and awesome looking silver gray 1955 Porsche Spyder and had to buy it no matter what. Friends told him that the car was eerie and their words of wisdom included:
Alec Guiness advised him to get rid of the car.
George Barris believed the car had a feeling of doom.
However, James loved this car and went for a trip with a friend of this by the name of Rolf Wuetherich. At 3:30 in the afternoon, James was pulled over by patrol officers and received a ticket for speeding. On they headed up the Diablo Range Mountains. At 5:59 pm, James Dean hit a car head-on that was driven by Donald Turnupseed and was killed instantly. Wuetherich, the passenger and friend of James Dean was thrown from the car and had severe injuries but lived through the accident. Turnupseed only had a very minor cuts and abrasions. The Porsche however, was mangled.
To prove the 1955 Porsche Spyder was indeed cursed you have to follow its path on forward from that terrible night.
Barris bought the car to use it for parts. While the 1955 Porsche was being downloaded from the wrecker, it fell and broke a mechanic’s leg.
Two doctors bought the engine and the drive train to use in their racecars. They entered a race on October 2, 1956 using their newly souped up racecar. One of the doctors died and in one accident and the other was seriously injured in a different accident.
Two of the tires were sold to young gentlemen and while driving down the road both tires blew at the same exact time. Good driving saved them from a serious crash.
James Dean’s fan stealing parts of the car all ended up with injuries of one type or another.
California Highway Patrol began using the car as a part of the safety exhibit.
The garage that was home to James Dean’s cursed car and where other California Highway Patrol cars were kept for the exhibit caught on fire mysteriously. All the cars were destroyed except for 1955 silver gray Porsche Spyder.
During a safety exhibit at Sacramento high school, it fell from its display and broke a student’s hip.
Heading to Salinas, on the back of a flat bed truck, the Spyder fell off killing the driver of the truck.
Within the next two years until 1958, it fell from flat bed truck going to exhibits and caused two more accidents.
In 1959, while on display the car broke into 11 pieces and fell from the display.
During the ride to Los Angeles, in a crate, in 1960, the silver gray 1955 Porsche Spyder completely vanished. To this day, no one knows what happened to the cursed car that took James Dean’s life.
Voted : Unknown
I have yet to ever see a ghost, lol i don't know runs! I always assume it's rats or a creaky door, or creaking from rain on wood expanding when i hear "things" in the night.
Wind blowing something open, or something natural causing it.
My mom totally believes in the supernatural and i just have never seen it so i don't actually know.
I hope there is...if i get to be a ghost i'm gonna haunt the hell out of some mother fuckers though, haha
1) A young woman in her early 20's, is seen crying inconsolably near a young man's grave, a Henry Vick. She vanishes when the living approach her. In 1857, the daughter of Mrs. Margaret Johnson, Helen was totally in love and engaged to be married to a Henry Vick, who was killed in a duel just a few days before the wedding. Helen spent hours at his grave, crying, talking to his grave stone. She finally was able to cope, after a trip to Europe, and later married a minister. A part of her never was healed; her longing for her dear Henry. It's possible that what is seen is an emotional impression of this extremely painful time for grief-stricken Helen, or it could be her- still weeping and grieving, unable to let go and go to the other side.
2) The Organ has been played late at night, when everything was locked up tight. The reason is unknown.
3) Non-stop, manic giggling fills the air at times, and blood stains appear now and then on the Chapel's stone floor. An apparition is seen going straight through the front wooden door and the locked iron gate protecting the door. Many years ago, the caretaker, in charge of Chapel Of The Cross, mentally snapped, and chopped off the head of his mentally unbalanced wife, right there in the Chapel. After clearing up the bloody mess, the caretaker hung himself on the Chapel's rafters.

Voted : Highgate Cemetery ~ London, England
This spooky, mysterious cemetery, also known as the City of the Dead, was once the most fashionable place in London to be buried in Victorian times. Sadly, it crumbled into neglect following the Second World War and was a desolate spot stretching over many acres. The many magnificent tombs and memorials became a truly gothic sight with twisted branches and ivy curling their way around the ruins. Stories abounded of terrifying creatures with glowing eyes frightening local residents and anyone brave enough to walk by the gates at night. Various ghosts and entities have been sighted including a vampire, a man in a top hat, bells ringing in the disused chapel, a shrouded figure and a demented old woman with long gray hair to name a few. Due to the restoration efforts of the ‘Friends of Highgate Cemetery’ the place is looking quite well these days, with the ghostly sightings decreasing significantly in numbers. This is definitely one of our favourite haunted cemeteries. Visit at your peril…

One of the best known apparitions is that of a Newfoundland dog who often appears at the grave of John McNeill Boyd. After Boyd drowned, the dog refused to leave his owner’s grave and slowly starved to death. This dedicated pet is seen waiting faithfully at his grave. Other encounters include glowing figures and the sounds of children playing. This is one of the largest haunted cemeteries in the world. If you visit, just be sure you know the way out…

Voted : Chase Mausoleum ~ Barbados, West Indies
This truly creepy location dates from the early 1700’s and is situated under the Christ Church Graveyard in Barbados. Up to 1820, members of the Chase family were interred there, yet each time the vault was opened, coffins were found thrown about haphazardly, upended and even shattered in pieces. After the second last funeral in the crypt, white sand was scattered on the floor and the vault was secured with great integrity. At the very last funeral in the mausoleum, the six Chase family coffins were found strewn around the crypt, leaning up against the walls and broken in bits. There were no footprints or markings in the white sand that had been thrown on the floor previously. This mausoleum is not used any more and is empty. To this day it remains an unsolved mystery and a very dark and mysterious site.

Voted : The Alamo ~ San Antonio, Texas
On February 23rd, 1836, 5000 Mexican troops arrived in San Antonio, bent on destroying the rebellious Texans. The rebels had secured a four-acre compound of Mission San Antonio De Valero, better known as the Alamo. Col. William B. Travis and Frontiersman James Bowie, along with Davy Crockett and 185 other men, were outnumbered 10 to 1 against them. The words "surrender" or "retreat" was sneered at, and were not considered an option. The Texans inflicted 600 Mexican causalities, making the battle at the Alamo one of the bloodiest conflicts in the frontier west. On the morning of March 6, 1836, the Mexicans invaded the Alamo, furious with their losses; they were encouraged to mutilate the rebels, burning the corpses on the pyre. Gruesome apparitions have been witnessed throughout the Alamo, along with a faint sound of a fiddle, an instrument that Davy Crockett played.

Voted : Rhoads Opera House ~ Boyertown, Pennsylvania

The building was rebuilt in the same spot, and remains very haunted. The gravesite is also haunted.
Voted : Rider's Inn ~ Painesville, Ohio
Mistress Suzanne is more famous in the town of Painesville in Lake County than anyone else.
She is seen by guests and regulars at the Rider's Inn, named after the man who built it in 1812.
Joe Rider was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. When he put away his sword he was given a parcel of land near Lake Erie, in what is now Painesville.
Rider was also a bit of a rogue and liked the ladies. He had four wives and one has never left the roadside Inn.
Mistress Suzanne was wife No. 3. She was a rich man's daughter and Rider found her dowry of land and timber quite interesting. He had been in financial trouble.
After just six weeks of marriage in 1834, she sat by the fire one night for the last time. Suzanne died. Some say of natural causes, others say by foul play. Newspapers reported her death under "strange and mysterious circumstances."
So, she still roams the halls of the inn, and for close to 200 years she's still been the innkeeper's wife.
What used to be the main door of the inn has been nailed shut for generations. It was the innkeeper's wife's job was to greet the guests and Suzanne still does.
"Please don't open this door that's right here behind me," The inn's current owner Elaine Crane said.
Crain explained that the door is sealed shut with 193 nails. "We know cause we counted them with a stud counter, because Suzanne continues to open doors to prowl the inn and open doors."
It's nothing to see candles lit in the windows to guide travelers on their way, or for tightly locked doors to unlatch and let in the night winds.
Suzanne's footsteps are like the wind on a dark night as she walks the halls and the grounds, forever vigilant, waiting for a weary traveler to spend the night.
Mistress Suzanne still regularly makes herself known at the inn. Every morning the chef at Rider's Inn finds that someone has been in her kitchen. The spices have been rearranged the same way. The chef puts them back, but the next morning they are the way Suzanne likes them.
Voted : Fiddler's Rock ~ Johnson County, Tennessee
This rock outcropping, also sometimes known as "Screaming Rock", is said to be haunted by the ghost of an old fiddler who used to play here many years ago. The rock itself seems to emit a high-pitched screeching sound on cold winter days, but short of a natural explanation, the sounds are said to come from the phantom fiddle of Martin Stone. It was here that Martin used to sit and play a fiddle that would charm the rattlesnakes.... and in so doing, met an untimely death.
It was said that Martin was so noted as a fiddle player that he was the center of attraction at dances and parties all over Johnson County. He supposedly could make babies stop crying, tame animals and make sick people well again. He also had another talent... it was reported that he could also charm rattlesnakes.
On Sunday afternoon, Martin would climb up onto Fiddler's Rock and start to play. Witnesses claimed that rattlesnakes would come out from under the rocks and lay in the sun while the fiddle played. Then, when a number of snakes had gathered, Martin would reach for his shotgun and kill as many of the snakes as he could. One day, a neighbor found Martin's lifeless body on Fiddler's Rock. Somehow, he had not reached for his shotgun quick enough for his body was covered with snake bites.
To this day, locals avoid the area around Fiddler's Rock, believing, thanks to the strange sounds that fill the air, that the place is haunted.

Voted : Killough Monument ~ Jacksonville, Texas
This is the location of an old Indian Massacre. It now is a cemetery for the Indians and the Killough family that perished. If you go on a full moon, you will see an Indian in full headdress on a white horse. He will just look at you and ride away. This place is so scary that the Sheriff's Dept. will not go out there under any circumstances.
Voted : The Banks of San Marcos River ~ Luling, Texas
An invisible "thing" haunts the marsh and surrounding woods in this vicinity. Hunters and fisherman have had numerous terrifying encounters with this entity. It is not visible to the human eye, but makes its presence known by weird sounds and the disturbance or "pressing down" of nearby foliage. Ghost? No one really knows what this frightening creature is that haunts the desolate swamp and nearby woods on the San Marcos.
