MAINE STATE PRISON, THOMASTON In 1824, in Thomaston, Maine the Maine State Prison was established. The purpose behind the facility was for prisoners to serve out life sentences doing hard labor. In other cases, prisoners served hard labor for shorter periods. Men and women alike served time at the Maine State Prison. Eventually women were moved from the facility. During its history the facility was devastated by fires multiple and rebuilt. The prison also had sections for mental health and a segregation unit. In the many years the Maine State Prison has been in use there have been reports of sightings from guards and prisoners alike. Guards have made claims of someone watching them when there was no one around. Others have stated they have seen the spirits of former prisoners at night when the prison is at its most quiet. Many believe some of the hauntings are a direct result of equipment from an old prison on Thomaston being moved to, and used at, Maine State Prison.

TRENTON PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, TRENTON – Psychiatric hospitals always make a good spot for a haunting thanks to the high concentration of death and trauma that they have usually seen.

Trenton Psychiatric Hospital has a dark past marred by allegations of torture and other terrors. It is said that the hospital director, Dr Henry Cotton, believed that he could cure mental illness by removing organs.

The Laeken cemetery is the oldest of all the cemeteries in Brussels still in function. Very popular among tourists and residents alike it’s often dubbed as the little brother of the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. The Cimetière de Laeken rose massively in popularity when the Royal family chose the adjacent Notre-Dame de Laeken Church as their burial grounds.

Jim Morrison’s grave Morrison is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris, one of the city’s most visited tourist attractions. The grave had no official marker until French officials placed a shield over it, which was stolen in 1973. In 1981, Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin placed a bust of Morrison and the new gravestone with Jim’s name at the grave to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death; the bust was defaced through the years by the cemetery Vandals and later stolen in 1988. In the 1990s a flat stone was placed on the grave, possibly by his birth family, with the Greek inscription: ΚΑΤΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ ΕΑΥΤΟΥ, “true to his own spirit.” Mikulin later made two more Morrison’s portraits in bronze, but he’s still waiting for the license to place a new sculpture on the tomb. * * * Look at the nice presents the public leaves to Jim: cigarette butts and bottles… No wonder why a security guard stands there all the time now..

LE MERIDIEN TAMPA –  The Old Federal Courthouse is one of the most haunted places in Tampa. It dates back to the later part of the 20th century right at the peak of organized crime and prohibition. The building is now said to be haunted by the spirit of a well known gangster named Charlie Wall. Charlie was called up to testify in court regarding organized crime in 1950 and he apparently revealed in great deal what had been going down in the Tampa area in that respect. Just 3 days later he turned up dead – murdered by his fellow gangsters. He has now been seen on the front steps of the former courthouse which is now serving as the Le Meridien Hotel.

THE CUBAN CLUB –  Since The Cuban Club was built in 1917 it has been considered one of the most haunted places in Tampa.

The spirits of both of these men are said to haunt the property along with a number of other ghostly entities.

City Cemetery is said to be the home of a haunted statue! When Laura Kelly passed away in the late 1800s her husband was broken hearted. He decided to commission a statue in her honor. He spared no expense and hired a world famous sculptor to complete the task, even going so far as to send the artist his wife’s clothing to allow him to capture a realistic likeness! Once the statue was complete he built a third floor onto his home so that he could view the statue from his home. Mt Kelly loved his wife deeply and perhaps it was the passion that he poured into her memorial that left a mark on the statue, because a number of witnesses have reported seeing the statue of Laura Kelly weeping!

MAJESTIC THEATRE, CHILLICOTHE, OHIO Since the Majestic Theatre was built back in 1852 it has earned itself a reputation as one of the most haunted locations that Ohio has to offer. It was originally the Masonic Opera House and during the 1918 influenza epidemic the overflow of corpses was stored there. It is said that blood and vital fluids from the bodies was pumped into the alley to the rear of the building earning it the nickname ‘Blood Alley’. There are lots of spooky tales that have been told about the various ghosts that haunt the theatre. The most commonly sighted ghost has been named Elizabeth and is said to be a young woman. On one occasion she was recorded in the theatre asking ‘how do I get out of here?’ There are also plenty of shadow figures and strange mists seen in the auditorium and the Knight’ Room up on the second floor is a popular place to capture photographs with strange orbs of light in them.

The ‘Pope Lick Monster’ – also known as Goat Man has apparently been luring unsuspecting people to their deaths for as long as the locals can recall. Depending on which story you favor this hairy, horned monster is either a survivor from a circus train wreck or a local goat farmer who tortured his goats on behalf of the devil and therefore forfeited his own soul. He is said to mimic the voice of children calling for help to lure people onto the train tracks where they then become frozen in place as a speeding train hurtles towards them!
