The Ghost Trail

 The Begginning of

GHOSTS...& more...

You see, for all the young ghost hunters in the world, we want you to experience the living dead in a whole new level. We are talking about paranormal videos and pictures, voice recordings and more. Everything is right here on this website. Every once and a while, we will explore the paranormal world and put any ghostly experiences or evidence of ghosts on to The Ghost Trail. We will keep updating the evidence as we ghost hunt more and more often. You will be there right with us on our website when you turn off the lights, turn the volume up, and press play on one of our ghost hunting specials.

   We will investigate here and there, between states. You will find all the information possibly needed! All you have to do is ask us if you want us to investigate and/or research a place. Do you think you know a place where both humans and ghosts live? What about just ghosts live there? Wherever you think you have had an encounter with the living dead,all you have to do is e-mail us and we will get right on it. If we can't do it right away, we will post that we are sorry,but the estimated time we can investigate! We are always happy to help. But we only investigate the USA. If the place is too far away we will only do as much research as possible. Which will probably only happen with Hawaii and Alaska. Maybe we can do a few outside of USA territory. Thanks for attending this website! 

  The Catfish Plantation Texas

 We are still in Texas! There are chances that you might have heard about one haunted restaurant/ home called The Catfish Plantation that is owned by the Bakers. At first, the Andersons bought this Victorian house in 1895. They had a daughter named Elizabeth who was at the age 20 when she got married. She actually never got married to her fiance because she was strangled on her wedding date. Some say that her fiance's ex-girlfriend strangled her, but some also say that Elizabeth's ex-boyfriend strangled her. Apparently they both were not happy about the marriage between them. During the Great Depression, a farmer named Will lived in the Victorian house. He lived there until the late 40's and early 50's. He was always dressed in overalls and didn't talk much. He just minded his own business. Then, a woman named Caroline lived in the Victorian house from 1953 to 1970. She lived in that house with her family. She loved that house so much, that she doesn't believe that she is dead. She died there at the age of 80 years! She still thinks that that is her house. After that, the Victorian house bacame a restaurant, then another restaurant, then another restaurant, until the Bakers bought the house in 1984 so they could have a successful restaurant, and a nice house. They had no idea that they had ghosts! The 80 year old lady wanted to welcome the new people, so one morning before the restaurant opened, Caroline made a pot full of coffee for the family. She wanted to be nice to the visitors and welcome them with a beverage. But days went on, and Caroline had a suspicion that the Baker family had moved in to her house. When she saw them unpack and run the restaurant, she got furious. She would make the silverware and cups fly off the shelves and out of cupboards. Sometimes, the food and silverware would hit the employees! And customers had to bring their own alcohol and glasses sometimes because wine glasses would shatter in to millions of pieces. They suspected that the ghost did not like alcohol. The old farmer named Will would stand mostly outside of the restaurant. He didn't like to cause problems or do much to annoy the customers and employees. He was mainly quiet. Every once and a while, he would flirt with other woman in the restaurant by playing with their hair, but other than that, he would just stand on the porch. Some would walk to up to a man dressed in overalls, and watch him disappear right before their eyes. Next, the young ghost Elizabeth would love to show herself to humans. She enjoyed looking out the window in front of the Catfish Plantation.  People would drive by and see a lady in a wedding dress sitting on a table in front of the window. She would knock on doors and touch people. She also liked to to follow people home. One time, she followed a lady home to her house and woke her up at 11:30 at night to give her an old powder box.

                         When we were there, the door kept on opening and closing, and the cupboard doors kept on slamming shut. We heard things brake in the kitchen. At one point my chair pushed itself in and out of the table while I was still sitting in it! We also heard that a couple of days before we came over, some one's name was written in the window.

                           So if you feel moving cold spots while you are there, you might be sitting next to a ghost. If you watch or hear broken clocks chime, you know that there is a ghost near by. If locked doors unlock themselves, you're in trouble. If you go to the bathroom and the faucet turns on and off, the lights flicker, and the toilet flushes multiple times by itself, then you are in danger! Watch out...they are hungry for someone that they can taunt!!!! Are you scared yet?               BOO! 

Alcatraz

California 

Alcatraz was known as the rock, and was built in 1850.Famous criminals stayed in the jail, such as Al Capone, George Kelly, Alvin Corpis, and Arthur Barker. There are many moving cold spots and freezing winds through out the jail.You can also hear items clanging against other things, and people screaming. You can also hear voices, people running on concrete, and someone sobbing. You can hear spirits moaning, banjo music, and the sound of metal doors banging together.A pair of red, glowing eyes once attacked some one, and possibly strangled some one. But no one knows for sure. You can see the dead faces of old, dead prisoners. There are foul smells and  the strong smell of smoke in Alcatraz as well. There is always a surge of negative energy and unhappiness. There is a spirit of a man in a suit, and a spirit named Butcher, or at least called by the name Butcher. There are also vibrations and the sight of fog actually in the building! 

The Red Lion Pub Chicago, Illinois

We are in Chicago, Illinois but we are now going to a place called The Red Lion Pub. The Red Lion Pub is a three story building that was built in 1882. The first and second floor is used for the pub, which is now closed. The third floor was used for extra storage for the tavern or apartments down the street. The three story building used to be a saloon. It also was temporarily used as an illegal gambling industry. Two men who were involved with the gambling industry got in a fight about gambling debts and killed each other. In the pub, there was a bat hanging on the wall was thrown across the room, causing a loud crash. When they approached the scene, every thing was perfectly fine. Some say that they are still mad at each other. Several men and women haunt the place because of death by it or in it. A couple of other ghosts haunt it because there was a shooting scene across the street at a movie theater. A girl ghost locks people in the ladies' restroom for over fifteen minutes. A woman once died there because she had a seizure. She chokes people for a couple of seconds to give them a brief feeling of what she went through at that moment. There is a woman there who has special needs that haunts the place and makes it smells like perfume. John Cordwell was the owner and creator of the pub. His father once told him that when he died, he would come back to see his family because he actually believed in the spirit world. John Cordwell hung a big nice window for his father who had died. The haunting of John Cordwell's father began there. When he died, he got dizzy all the time. When ever people walked by that window, they would get a surge of dizziness. The father wasn't very pleased because he was buried in England with out a tombstone. He would usually tap customers on the back. Shadows are seen walking up the stairs. The pub is actually most paranormally active on Sundays, or late late at night. 

The Riddle House Florida

We are going all the way to Florida now. We will be back there eventually, but we need to report the horrors in this house called the Riddle House. The Riddle house was built in 1905 and is in West Palm Beach. The Riddle House was a Victorian house that was a dorm for the girls attending the college in the city. The Victorian house was actually split in three parts and moved all the way to Yesteryear Village. While working on the Riddle house in YesterYear Village, a piece of wood flew up and hit one of the workers. He was injured terribly and had to go to the hospital. The ghosts will make the flags that you leave out disappear because they hate American flags.  There are orbs all over the house! The Riddle House was used as a funeral management for Woodland Cemetery before they bought it. The ghosts there also hate men and actually hit a man in the head with a pot.  A man is seen in the attic window because a man once hung himself in the attic. At first, a man named Joseph Jefferson owned the house, then Karl Riddle owned it! 

The Menger Hotel Texas

We are now in the hotel that is across from the Alamo called The Menger Hotel. The first ghost is a man called, Captain Richard King. He likes to walk through walls to get to his old King Suite that he used to stay in during the war. He also has conversations with himself in some of the guests' bedrooms. Another ghost is an old  maid who's name is Sallie White. She still walks around the hotel with fresh towels! These two ghosts are both seen walking in and out of the walls in the hotel, and cause moving cold spots through out the hotel. They also cause silverware to fly around the dining area and the kitchen! 

The Alamo Texas

We are in Texas now, and we are investigating the Alamo. The first haunting that occurred was right after the war when there were two misty figures guarding the doors that were screaming and holding torches. Every once and a while, you can see a cowboy walking in the garden. You could also see a woman sitting by the well. To amazement, an old Mexican officer's ghost walks around on the pavement. Also a couple of days after their anniversery, you can hear a horse's hooves clatter on the pavement. Actually, Davy Crockett's spirit stands at attention in the court yard. A spirit stands on the roof every morning with a toddler.  When people take tours of the Alamo, there are two little boys that follow the tour guide around. A little kid and a man stand in the window, then vanish! There are ghosts in the lobby that let people ask them questions, but vanish before they can answer...There is a ghost who lives in the basement who walks through walls like many other ghost in the Alamo. In the Alamo, you can hear a woman sob, the laughter of children, screaming, trumpets, and explosions, you are in danger! If you hear the door pound and footsteps, they are following you wherever you go! If furniture shakes, doors open and close, and the lights go off and on, you are in trouble.

The Sorrel Weed House Georgia

 We are actually back in Georgia, home of our first investigation. We are investigating the most haunted and the biggest house in Georgia. We are going to a house called The Sorrel Weed House. The Sorrel Weed House was built in 1840. The house used to have servants, and there once was a war in Savannah. The sounds of guns and swords and knifes clinging together echo through the walls of the house. People get sick when they enter the basement because there is such an eerie presence lurking through the shadows and must. There are voices in the walls that whisper in people's ears. A murdered slave hides away in the carriage house in the back of The Sorrel Weed House. There are dark figures seen in the windows all around. There is a voice recording of a woman saying, "Get out, Get out...Help me, my God, my God." There are sudden chills in the air. You can here a marching band march through the basement, playing their instruments loud and proud. You can also hear laughing, talking, and old music. Mrs. Sorrel killed herself by jumping out of the window. There is also a shadow of a man whipping a slave in the basement.
