It really is pretty creepy at night, but only if you believe that stuff. Which I do.

Maybe its just some girl who appreciates Feng Shui.... at night.

I don't know of anything in Delaware. I grew up in Philadelphia and there's LOTS there! Betsy Ross' house is haunted, Independence Hall is haunted, there's a place that used to be a restaurant (General Wayne Inn) in the 'burbs that's extremely haunted, then you have Valley Forge (I've heard if you walk around there at night you can hear soldiers talking-I'm too chicken to check it out for myself) and Gettysburg. I went to Gettysburg one time to see if I could get anything on my pictures - when I got my photos back, they were all messed up.

Okay I looked this up in reno


Reno - Park Lane Mall - In 1976 a woman was found dead in the old bathroom down stairs. Her murder was never solved and she haunts the bottom floor of Park Lane Mall and is said appear around 9:00pm on the 3RD Sat. of every month.

Reno - The Mapes hotel - haunted by an unknown spirit. Now torn down and is now an ice rink in the winter months.

Reno - it used to be the riverboat casino now is an antique store - In the basement you can hear foot steps at various times and no one will be there. guards report they have heard the foot steps.

Reno - Robb Canyon - Years after 4 bodies of transients were unearthed in this canyon, just north of I80, ghost hunters from Oregon, Nevada and California have sought out this spot on fall moonless nights to see unexplained lights and occasional sounds of a murder. Since the murders were never solved, some people feel these ghosts are attempting to provide clues to the guilty.

Reno - Wooster High School - Earlier the Wooster colts lost the zone final to the McQueen lancers. One guy went out to the football field later that night and shot himself. Now whenever the lancers play on the Wooster field they have said they trip over nothing at all. They say that something or someone tripped them.


Man I go to that mall all the time,and I know were wooster is:)

Now I found this,my hometown in cali ANTIOCH!!!!!!!!


Antioch - Black Diamond Mines - These mines are haunted by the White Witch. In life, her name was Mary. She was a nanny in the 1800's when there was still coal mining in the mines. All of the children died of illnesses and she was accused of Witchcraft, then executed. She guards the mines and when people see her, she is all white.

Antioch - Black Diamond Mines - The Rosehill Cemetery - haunted by Sarah Norton, also known as the "White Witch". She was a midwife and on her way to deliver a baby her carriage fell over and she was crushed. She is seen in the graveyard floating around the tombstones.

Antioch - Black Diamond Mines - Somersville - Sarah Norton - Sarah Norton was a midwife who died on the way to deliver a baby when her carriage over turned and killed her. Sarah was not a religious woman and told her kids that she did not want a funeral. So when she died the town s people of Somersville wanted to give her a funeral. The first time they went to give her a funeral a fierce storm struck up and cause the towns people to delay the funeral till the next day, the next time they tried to give her a funeral another storm came out of no where and the live stock started charging thru town, at that point the towns people stopped trying to give her a funeral and just brought her to Rosehill Cemetery, From that day her sprit has been seen around Somersville and the other locations where the mining towns use to be know as The Black Diamond Mines in eastern Contra Costa County and other locations off of marsh creek rd. Her ghost has been known to be called the White Witch.

Antioch - Brentwood - Gravity Hill - In the 1950's a school bus was driving kids home from a field trip. It skidded into a wash and all the kids drowned. If you go there, put your car in neutral around the turn, you get pushed up the hill. It's supposedly by the kids who died in the bus crash and they want to keep you from the same fate.

Antioch - Empire Mine Road - Gates of Hell - Fair warning - no trespassing you will get fined or arrested. Possibly torn down - In the middle of Empire Mine road, there is a Stuckko wall with a bunch of spray paint on it. If you like to take hikes, this is the place to go. There is a rumor of an old Insane Asylum at the very end of this road. You will come to another gate then behind their lies this old decrepit Structure of a hospital. Many people were killed brutally in this place, and it is VERY haunted by not so nice spirits. Things have been thrown at people, they have been pushed and screams have been heard from the people being tortured by themselves or another. - October 2003 update: Reports of it being a golf course now.

Antioch - Empire Mine Road - Rail Road Mine - Fair warning - no trespassing you will get fined or arrested. Possibly torn down - At the end of Empire mine road, there is an old railroad track tunnel that is pretty spooky inside. There are bats inside it and you can hear voices at the end of the tunnel.

Antioch - Empire Mine Road - Slaughterhouse -Fair warning - no trespassing you will get fined or arrested. - An old slaughterhouse stands in the corner of the road after the first bend. It is haunted by an old man who walks the grounds and makes sure that everything is ok, and that no one gets hurt while there. Strange noises are heard inside the first building where they chopped up the meat. Clanking inside of the circle figured tubes towards the back of the property. Chains clank all around and you can hear footsteps behind you like someone is watching over you. Just remember to watch your step!

Antioch - St. James Presbyterian Church - This old church, located on Leland Avenue in San Francisco has a history of hauntings. Late at night, footsteps can be heard walking up the stairs, doors shut, etc. Also, on more than one occasion, late at night, doors that normally open easily will be impossible to open, as if a ton of bricks is on the other side of the door. Later, the doors will be found wide open.

Antioch - Vasco road - you can hear people if you get out of your car running around. breathing and invisible people is also reported. if you don?t feel like getting out of your car, it is scary just to drive through in the dark.

I dont know why the White Witch has two diff names BUT my dad has really seen her in the Cemetery when he was like my age with some friends!! we keep on asking if he lies but no,Man I new she was on the net on a antioch ghost site but I did not know it was well well known
:D
