emsworth? is that north or south of camp horne turn?

edit -

> Dixmont Hospital for the Insane is slated for demolition. Evidently a shiny new Walmart is going to be built on the property. It’s disappointing but the building is so far beyond repair we cannot imagine restoration being possible or profitable

hahaha, I hope that fucking wal-mart becomes haunted!

so it was on 65? I can’t think of where it would be. Emsworth is the town you go through going from 79 to camp horne isn’t it. Just on the other side of kilbuck.

scariest place i have ever been is in a cemetary. Screams coming from under a bridge, little kids playing around you (you didnt see anything) cold spots, bushes spliiting in half… like something was walking through them, a little girl in a bell tower, ghostins in windows, shit felt like it was touching you, i heard my name a few times, something sut my friends pants ( we didnt walk through anythign for that to happen) also the sheath to his knife was unbuttoned… he made sure it was buttoned before we went into the cemetary… i have yet to be back to that place. fucked me up.

I’m tellin you my work is haunted as fuck! Here is some quick research for you all. Imagine having to go in these old buildings and houses at night. Scares the shit outta me! and I usually ain’t skeered.

Just doing this quick research, I’m going to take some video today, get some pictures, interview Dr. Irma smith whos been here at the library for like 40 years, and throw together some kind of Chatham Haunting DVD. w00t!

**Howes-Child Gatehouse**![http://www.post-gazette.com/images2/20030611mr1will11\_230\_230.jpg](http://www.post-gazette.com/images2/20030611mr1will11\_230\_230.jpg) ![http://www.post-gazette.com/images2/20030611mr2will11\_230.jpg](http://www.post-gazette.com/images2/20030611mr2will11\_230.jpg)

> Two years later, construction workers boarding up the windows for Chatham College, which hoped to buy the house, found the skeleton of an East Liberty woman, who had been missing for 10 months, under a mattress. The cause of death was undetermined; the case remains open.

**Mellon Mansion**

> “We’ve always heard old stories from alumni about hearing the ghost of Mr. Mellon walking around the house,” Kovach said.

[http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/kqvradio/s\_420950.html](http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/kqvradio/s_420950.html)

> Pittsburgh - Chatham College - In the basement of the Mellon building is a pool and bowling alley. It is known mostly to lifeguards that work at the pool. Andrew Mellon haunts the bowling alley, it is usually very cold in the room. One gets a very creepy feeling. If you don’t want to experience anything don’t bowl! At times the pins will resent themselves as if taunting you to keep playing.

**Woodland Hall**

> Chatham College, Women’s college in Pittsburgh- The Blue Lady of Woodland Hall. No one knows where or why the blue lady haunts woodland hall, but many students have reported waking up in the middle of the night to find the apparition of a woman in a blue dress floating above them. One student reported waking up to the sounds of children playing in her dorm room! Although she never saw the ghostly children, she clearly heard them and felt their presence as they jumped on her bed and pulled on her ankle trying to get her to play a game with them!

I don’t know if I ever mentioned, but I saw a ghost on video at my job. The COO called me in to the security room to view the video and it freaked me out. I can honestly say I have never seen shit like that before in my life.

There was this image floating around our backroom. You saw footprints walking down the hallway, a face on the camera every once in awhile. This all happened from 1am-5am. The motion detector alarms kept going off from this time and it was just this thing bouncing around. I’m a believer now!

Location is in CT and I attempted to get the video, but it didn’t come out. With all my damn IT skills in burning that video different ways, all you could see were pixels moving around. I’ll see if I can find the bad video

Connecticut is wonderful for ghost stories! I have family and friends who live there. The best stories that I’ve heard are from Lake Compounce… and stories of the White Lady in some cemetary. Dunno where it is though. 🙂

I’ll believe a ghost when I see it. Until then I’d rather try not to scare myself. I’m afraid of my own shadow for goodness sake!

> lizabeth - St. Michael’s Church - In the early 1980’s the diocese of Pittsburgh ordered the church padlocked at 3:00 AM without any warning to the parishioners. The only explanation the diocese would give is that the floor of the 125 year old church was too weak and in danger of collapse. Since that time strange changes to the church have taken place. While the rest of the colored panes of glass in the windows have retained their color the faces of the saints have turned black. Inside the church the walls have peeled and cracked, the pews are filthy with bird droppings and dead birds, yet the area around the altar and the altar itself, which is draped a 100 year old altar cloth from Ireland, is in pristine condition. As if it were ready for Sunday mass. There is a statue of Saint Michael the Archangel above the main entrance to the church posed with lance and shield. Over the years the statue’s shield looks as if it is battle worn and covered with dried blood
> 
> WTF, i know that the old priests used to go into that church and light the candles that were off to the side of the alter, the super super slow burning ones… You can ONLY see the alter of the church and I remember when I went to grade school at the school that the alter was ALWAYS neat and clean, and to this DAY they have yet to tear that church down… supposedly its been condemded due to the rotting floor…

does anyone have an address to this place i wanna check it out and any other hauntings in elisabeth, like the 13 bends where are they?
