The Whaley house in San Diego was another fascinating "hot spot" that is a tourist attraction. I had been there until closing, and I walked out of the house, looked up and saw someone wearing a bowler hat staring down at me from the second story window. This was as the staff was locking the door for closing. I proceeded inform them that they were locking a tourist inside and that they needed to check the second floor. They promptly stopped locking up and hustled inside to check out my claim. They came back laughing and telling me that there was no one up there. I was adamant that there had been someone there. They told me that this happens regularly when they are locking up for the night.
At an old ghost town mining sight in the California desert. I got out of my truck and let my wolf dog out to explore. I wanted to take photos and poke around a little. I had happened across the sight while out exploring General Patton's old training sights. My wolf dog saw something that scared him badly. He ran back, passed me, jumped in the cab of the truck, and cowered under the dashboard. He was a brave wolf/dog hybrid and had previously taken out rattlesnakes, and jumped in front of me to protect me from all manner of dangerous beasts. My thought is that he saw something supernatural, though I cannot confirm this.
Also, I worked the graveyard shift at a store for a couple of years. During that time I witnessed all manner of exceedingly bizarre occurrences. That place has to be the most haunted place I have ever heard of or read about. The things that happened there defy explanation. Such as: Multi-colored orbbs of light that regularly shot across the main store floor, and especially throughout the coolers at night. I would walk through cold patches, on the main store floor, that were so cold that I was not only shivering, but I could see my breath, (this area was nowhere near the coolers). Once, I had a glass coffee pot shatter when a sudden cold spot showed up. Merchandise would move on its own in this store, and I'm not talking about from people purchasing it. Once a ghost walked in the front door, did not notice or acknowledge me, and disappeared in front of my eyes. This was a "spooky" place to say the least, and I think it had some kind of gateway, of sorts, to a spiritual dimension based upon the many, many strange occurrences that happened there; I only named a few of them.

I've never experienced anything remotely supernatural. I'm of a skeptical mind about that sort of thing.

Of course, people now say that the murdered women's souls still haunt it and stuff. Not sure if I believe in that, but I still don't know if I'd dare go there.

I almost wish I could see something otherworldly, just because I'd consider it very interesting, but I never have.

Barb419- I've always wanted to go stay at many of these places. The idea is neat but I'd probably scare myselfbarb429 wrote:I have been to several "haunted" locations- The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado (the hotel The Shining was based on), Waverly Sanatorium in Louisville, KY (about 7 miles from my house!), Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia, The Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago....I could go on. Sadly, I have not experienced anything in any of these locations (trust me I hoped to!). My former condo was in an old boarding house that was built in the late 1800's, there were times when I would see something out of the corner of my eye, or feel something touching me, but I never experienced anything concrete.
