COLORADO: The many legends of Riverdale Road Riverdale Road is the site of not one, but eight creepy stories. Ranging from a “Hell Gate,” to ghosts of slaves hanging from the trees, the stretch of road is decidedly spooky. The creepiest story, though, is that of the phantom jogger. One day, there was a driver who hit a jogger, freaked out, and left him for dead. Now, it’s said that if you park at the site of the crash, you’ll hear disembodied footsteps getting closer and closer to your car. People have reported hand prints on their windows and banging noises as if someone was kicking the outside.

The Jesse Lee Home for Children is located in Seward and first opened in 1926. In its heyday, there would have been home to hundreds of orphans. However, the property suffered a massive amount of damage in 1964 during an earthquake and allegedly several of the children were killed. It is these poor children who are now said to haunt the deteriorating property. Those who come to visit Old Jesse Lee Home for Children have reported experiencing feelings of dread and despair upon entering the building. It is also common for visitors to hear giggling children even though none are present. The sound of jump ropes and bouncing balls can often be heard as well. There are often small shadowy figures seen flitting past the windows as well, seen by those standing outside of the building.

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.

ALLIANCE THEATRE, ALLIANCE The Alliance Theatre was built in 1903, although it was not always a theater. Initially, it was built as The Charter Hotel, but it was transformed into a theater in 1938. It is not clear when the paranormal disturbances here began. Perhaps it was during the renovations, but nobody knows for sure. The reports of strange activity have been happening for as long as anybody can remember. Employees of the theater often say that they have seen shadowy figures around the property and they also hear phantom footsteps in the hall. The owner is fairly confident that the building is indeed haunted, but he is sure that it is a friendly ghost!

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. Many of the old psychiatric facilities in New Jersey have been demolished, but one still remains and it is one of the most haunted spots in New Jersey. 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.

PLANT HALL, UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA –  The University of Tampa’s Plant Hall is now an academic building, but it previously served as a 500 room hotel which hosted the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and Babe Ruth as guests. It is now said to be rife with paranormal activity including the disembodied voices of long dead servants and the sound of rolling dice! Doors have swung slowly open and closed by themselves and staff and students alike describe an uneasy feeling that they are being watched by something unseen in the shadows.

He is prone to appearing and ten vanishing quickly with no warning on staircases in the building. There have also been reports of a spectral couple dancing in the former ballroom.

THE CUBAN CLUB –  Since The Cuban Club was built in 1917 it has been considered one of the most haunted places in Tampa. The haunting here could be attributed to the two known deaths on record at the property which date back to the 1920s. One of these is an actor who is said to have committed suicide right there on the stage while the other is a board member who was murdered by a fellow board member during a heated argument. The spirits of both of these men are said to haunt the property along with a number of other ghostly entities. The most common reports of paranormal activity in The Cuban Club include the spirits playing the piano and riding up and down in the elevators!

TAMPA THEATER –  According to locals, the old Tampa Theater has is haunted by the spirit of a former employee Foster ‘Fink’ Finley – a projectionist who worked in the theater during the 1940s and died there from a heart attack in 1965.
