CROOK TUNNEL, BENSON

Crook Tunnel is a place that has a very dark and grim history associated with it, so it really does not come as much of a surprise that the place is alleged to be so haunted. There are most definitely some dark secrets held in these walls!

The tunnel was built back in 1902, but in June of 1905 rock slide in the tunnel hit a passenger train that was bound for Benson, AZ and although the train only suffered minimal damage, the track ended up completely blocked by rocks and dirt. As soon as word got out about the incident, a group of men headed into the tunnel to deal with the situation. It took them several hours to clear the track.

It is not clear if anyone died during this incident, but a few years later there was one confirmed death recorded.
In 1912, the body of a man named Henry A. Marks was found in Crook Tunnel. His body was battered and bruised, his arms and legs were broken and one of his limbs was almost completely detached from his body. It is believed that he must have been run over by a train.

Witnesses said that the man had been a little bit drunk when he left Bisbee and headed home via Crook Tunnel.
His spirit is now said to haunt the tunnel and many investigators have suggested that Henry A. Marks is angry that his death was passed off as an accident! Is there more to his death than meets the eye? The unexplained activity that occurs in the now disused tunnel includes cold spots, disembodied voice, and even full apparitions!

   

CANADA'S HIGHWAY OF TEARS

Since 1969, an estimated 40 women have gone missing or have been found murdered somewhere along Highway 16 and its huge surrounding forests. Over half of these women have belonged to Aboriginal First Nation communities. Across Canada since the 1960s, nearly 600 Aboriginal women have been reported as missing or victims of homicide.  It is therefore no wonder that Highway 16 has been colloquially renamed the "Highway of Tears".

   

DAVID BLAKE, DISAPPEARED MARCH 9TH, 2018, KENNESAW NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD PARK, GEORGIA

On March 9th, 2018, police found David Blake’s car parked near an overflow car park off Old Highway 41 in the Kennesaw National Battlefield Park with his hiking bag and keys in the cup holder. David was nowhere to be seen.

David, 25, was an avid hiker and outdoorsman and very familiar with the park and its 16 miles of trails. His camping gear was left behind in the apartment indicating he wasn't planning to spend time camping in the wilderness. 

Kennesaw Battlefield Park preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign and also contains Kennesaw Mountain. It is located at 905 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, between Marietta and Kennesaw, Georgia. The name "Kennesaw" derives from the Cherokee Indian "Gah-nee-sah" meaning cemetery or burial ground. The area was designated as a U.S. historic district on October 15, 1966.

Search and rescue first assumed he walked to one of the park's trails and may have been somewhere up on Kennesaw Mountain.
David's mother Neill last saw him on Wednesday March 7th and said he was his normal, calm, easy-going self. "He said, 'Love ya mom, see ya later' like we always do,”  His mom, dad and older brother called it completely unexpected and said David would never just walk off. David Blake’s dad, Bill Blake."No one, roommates, coworkers, family had no inkling we would be standing here."
The family said David wasn't into any high-risk behaviours, or illegal activity and called him quiet and relatively boring. "All they do is stay up till 3 a.m. playing their video games, watching movies, no indication anything was going on from that perspective,” said Stuart Blake, David Blake's 

David's phone was last used to send some text messages early on Thursday March 8th. He never showed up to work that day and didn't call in. Since that time there was no activity on his phone or from his bank or credit cards.

Dozens of searchers scoured the Kennesaw area including sixty members of Cobb County’s Community Emergency Response Team, which investigated a wooded area not far from where his car had been found. The area for the search was chosen based on location data from David's cell phone.

“With the county, we organized a search because the family had search volunteers that really wanted to help,” said Chief Ranger Anthony Winegar with the National Park Service. “We organized a search of a couple of small areas over near Stilesboro Road and Barrett Parkway. Evidence early on in the search had pointed us in that direction.”

On March 9th a Georgia State Patrol helicopter was deployed and a bloodhound from the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office that searched from the ground. On March 10,  cadaver dogs found no indication of a decomposing body within the search area.

“At the end of that search (Thursday March 15th, 2018), we sat down with the family, and said, ‘This is all the evidence we have, including concrete, solid evidence, and Facebook tips and everything else. We have exhausted all of that,’” Winegar said. “We haven’t come up with anything new, any sign that he is here. He has left no evidence that he is here with the exception of the car.”
On-duty park personnel continued the search for Blake on Friday, March 16th, but were expected to go back to normal daily operations the following day unless credible information on his whereabouts is reported. 

Chief Ranger Winegar said “We have a very good idea of where people go in this park, and
where people seldom go, and we are concentrating on the places where people seldom go. This place is so busy, my theory is that if he were here and he were hanging out somewhere near the busy places, he would have already been found. So we’re going to the places where we know people don’t go very much, and there aren’t that many of those.”

So far no sign of David which seems a very out of character disappearance. Why leave his keys and bag behind in the car. Foul play perhaps?

STALEY ROAD, CARLISLE, OHIO

Some time in the early 1800s, pioneer John Wrench engaged the services of the three Staley Brothers to build a flour mill. The finished structure was to become the first double wheeled mill in Ohio.

Business was great and after several years, Wrench had made enough money to retire and ended up selling his mill to Elias Staley. The mill was then passed down to his brother Andrew and continued to produce flour until 1905.

Today, the mill is still standing and Staley Road, named for the brothers winds its way passed and through the woods. It has become something of a right of passage for local teens to drive this road at night as a demonstration of their courage.

It has been said that ‘Old Man Staley’ went on a murderous rampage and is now haunting the road. Motorists say that they often experience unexplained car trouble and some have seen Staley’s ghost standing next to or even lying in the road!

   

FUDGE ROAD BRIDGE, GRATIS, OHIO

Fudge Road is a narrow gravel track which winds its way through the most rural part of Preble County. At one point a steel bridge carries the road across Aukerman Creek…

It is said that a young mother through her unwanted newborn off of the bridge, or in some versions of the tale the baby was stillborn and the mother hung herself from the bridge.

Whatever version is more accurate, the fact remains that today, motorists crossing over Fudge Road Bridge can hear an infant crying if they park at the bridge and say ‘mama’ three times.

Another tale linked to the creepy bridge states that a mysterious beast lurks in the nearby woods and takes shelter under the bridge, growling at passing motorists!

   

MYRTLES PLANTATION, ST FRANCISVILLE

The Myrtles Plantation was built back in 1796 for General David “Whiskey Dave” Bradford. Bradford originally called the plantation, Laurel Grove. Bradford lived on the plantation by himself until his wife, Elizabeth, moved from Pennsylvania with the rest of the family to join him.

Over the years the plantation has changed ownership multiple times. Bradford’s daughter, Sara Mathilda and her husband, Clark Woodruff, took control of the plantation in 1808 following her father’s passing.

They maintained ownership until 1851 when Ruffin Gray Stirling and his wife purchased the plantation. They did extensive remodeling to the plantation almost doubling the original size. The plantation changed hands many times following Stirling’s death in 1854.

If you visit the Myrtles Plantation today you will be visiting what is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the entire United States.

Currently, the Myrtles Plantation is a bed and breakfast that is as well known for its incredible service as it is for its paranormal activity.

Visitors and tourists visit the location to have the opportunity to stay on the property or to attend many of the different events people host at the Myrtles Plantation.

With regard to the paranormal activity at Myrtles Plantation, the claims of activity have been so extensive Myrtles has been featured in books, TV shows, and movies.

Countless paranormal investigators have come to the location to investigate the claims made; this includes teams from the SyFy Channel and the TAPS team.

Some of the claims included the sighting of two murdered children and Chloe, a servant who was hung after poisoning a cake Clark Woodruff’s family ate and subsequently died.

The dying footsteps of William Drew Winter, an attorney who lived and was murdered on the plantation, have been heard by staff members and visitors alike. It has also been said the grand piano plays the same song by itself.

   

 LAFITTE GUEST HOUSE, NEW ORLEANS

Long before a home was built on the property where the Lafitte Guest House now sits there was a charity hospital. Over the years a simple home was built on the property following the hospital burned down.

Later on, in 1848, the simple home was replaced by a mansion built by Paul Gleise. Many families have lived in the 3-story home since that time.

There are a few stories of hauntings that people continue to share. The saddest paranormal activity that people experience is the sounds of a crying infant.

At one point in the hotel’s history, a little girl named Marie contracted yellow fever. Unfortunately, little Marie never recovered and perished in room 21. People who have stayed in that room say you can see her image in the mirror in that room.

Other people have said Marie appears and attempts to speak with children visiting the hotel. Another haunting people experience is the sound of Marie’s mother sobbing in the same room Marie perished.

Marie’s mother has also been known to turn lights off and on and wander around the grounds of the hotel.

   

DEVEREAUX MANSION, SALT LAKE CITY

The oldest part of the Devereaux Mansion dates back to 1857 when it was built by William C Stanes, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who traveled to Salt Lake City from England with the first pioneer groups.

It changed hands several times over the next few years and was almost destroyed by fire in 1979. Since then it has been renovated and opened as a restaurant and wedding venue. It is also said to be incredibly haunted.

There are at least two ghosts who call the Devereaux Mansion home. The first is a young girl who has a particular affinity for playing tricks on the kitchen staff. She is also known to wave at people at night.

The second spirit is thought to be either the former lady of the house or a head housekeeper. In contrast to the cheerful little girl, she is said to be far more aggressive towards visitors although it is believed that she believes she is simply protecting the mansion from misuse!

   

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE, VEYOAccording to records, the Mountain Meadows Massacre happened back in 1857 when a group of settlers were brutally murdered by Mormon Militia.

Somewhere between 100 and 140 people perished during the massacre. It is now said to be one of the most haunted areas in Utah.
Visitors tell tales of hearing the cries of the victims being carried on the wind and say that they feel a terrible wave of sadness overcoming them.

   

MCCUNE MANSION, SALT LAKE CITY

McCune Mansion was built in 1901 and took around 3 years and $1 million to build. These days it is used as a venue for weddings and lots of other types of celebrations.

There are said to be two different apparitions that are haunting the building – a man in a black cape and a little girl of about 10 years of age who particularly enjoys when there are weddings taking place.

There is a picture of the girl hanging in the Mansion, so she was obviously a former resident. She is often spotted at weddings where she can be seen dancing and giggling. On the other hand, the man is usually seen around Christmas time.
