The 10 Spookiest Homes in the United States In an effort to combine two of my favorite things, Halloween and real estate, I give you The Spookiest Homes in the U.S.! First up, the house at 112 Ocean Ave, Amityville, NY. Okay, we all know the story behind this one. You know, the house from the novel and movies? The Grant-Humphreys Manson at 770 Pennsylvania Street, Denver, CO was built by James Grant, Colorado’s 3rd governor. The Reed House of Asheville, NC was built in 1892 by Samuel Reed, a lawyer for George Vanderbuilt. The Hale House is located in Coventry, Connecticut. Strawberry Hill, now a museum and cultural center, is located in Kansas City, KS. The Stranahan House was built in 1901 by the Frank Stranahan, the ‘father of Fort Lauderdale’. Franklin Castle in Cleveland, OH is said to be the state’s most haunted house. Madrona Manor at 1001 Westside Road in Healdsburg, CA is now a B & B. The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose was the child of Sarah Winchester, wife of William, of Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
Japanese Graveyard Ghost The original picture was taken by an individual using an 110 Instamatic camera at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois in July 1979. He was attempting to document all the recent vandalism in the cemetery. The paranormal image shows up as a white streak of light which seems to emerge from a small hill. There is a distinct face of a man that appears in the bottom of the white streak. It also appeared on an SX-70 photograph at the same time taken by another. The second picture is a detail view of the first. Ghost Research Society (www.ghostresearch.org) © 2002 Dale Kaczmarek.
Shining Strand Agate Cemetery near Trout Creek, Michigan. Taken by John Cachel, GRS Patron Member, in the late evening on July 4, 1998. There was no one in the cemetery and it was about a half mile from the main road. The shooting light seems to make a curve to turn around the large tombstone. 35mm film taken at 1/360th of a second.

The Brown Palace Hotel was one of the places that was documented on the program. We were going to Denver in June and my wife suggested that we check this place out. Well, me being skeptical and all said jokingly if we found the place maybe we could get a picture of an orb or something. When we arrived in Denver on June 19, 2005 I picked up a rental car and asked where this Hotel was and they said pointing down the street at some flags that that was it. Now I was committed to going. When taking the pictures I did not observe anything unusual. You do have my permission to post this photo on your web site if you would like. Regards, Robert E.

Blackpool Waxworks Ghost I took this photograph at the Blackpool waxworks UK 9th August. It clearly shows a face behind my husband. The strange thing is that the photo was taken at the coronation street exhibit (long running UK soap) it shows the face of who I think may be Ena Sharples who died in the 1980's and was one of the original main characters. Since researching her I found that she died in Blackpool and was buried there. I have since sent the photo to the waxworks they are very interested in it and say that there would be nothing that could cause this face, i.e.....

Floating Head? This was just another ordinary picture of a computer work-station in a suburban home and nothing was noticed out of the ordinary until the film was developed. Clearly floating on the computer screen, which was turned off at the time, is a disembodied head which is definitely not someone in the background or the picture-taker herself. The photographer believes it to be the ghost of her deceased husband but he appears much younger than when he left this earth Ghost Research Society (www.ghostresearch.org) © 2003 Dale Kaczmarek. Man With a Derby I stumbled across your website through Google when trying to find answers to a question. I have a ghost photograph taken back in 2004 in my hometown of Massillon, Ohio. I was taking some pictures of a local reservoir after driving by and thinking I could get some cool night pictures. I took six pictures to finish off a roll of Fuji 400 speed 35mm film with my Nikon 6006. I'm about 90% sure the exposure was F11 for 30 seconds. The pictures were developed at Wal-Mart in June of 2004. After looking thru the pictures, they ended up going into a bin that I keep all my developed rolls of film in. The picture has the outline of what looks like to me someone's head and shoulders wearing an old bowler hat like Charlie Chaplin used to wear.

Shadowy Figure This photograph was taken by Dale Kaczmarek at Woodlawn Cemetery in 1979 using black and white Infrared film. The picture shows what appears to be a shadowy figure of a man with a brimmed hat on his head between the double tombstones and the tree in the background.

Toys 'R Us Ghost A Toys 'R Us located in Sunnyvale, California was the scene of inexplicable events such as items falling off shelves, strange feelings by employees, cold spots and other strange paranormal happenings. The story made it's way to a television show called "That's Incredible" hosted by Fran Tarkenton, Kathy Lee Crosby and John Davidson. They contacted a local California psychic, Sylvia Brown and professional photographers to document a séance in the store. Using both infrared and high-speed film, a photographer from Alpha Labs took simultaneous pictures of the empty isle where Brown was attempting to contact the presence of Johnny Johnston, a young boy in love with a local girl. He bled to death after a farm accident and it's thought that his ghost now haunts the store's location. One infrared shot taken clearly shows a young man leaning against a counter with his hands in his pockets. Ghost Research Society (www.ghostresearch.org) © 2003 Dale Kaczmarek.
