We went on a Ghost Trekking Tour
Lynne from Hidden Marietta
was our guide
This building was a brothel the story is a well to do man
who lived in a fancy house a few blocks away
fell for a working girl she would visit her nightly
one night his ax carrying teenaged son
followed him here after the lights went out
he went up the stairs and chopped his fathers head off
blood spewing everywhere
and ran down the stairs into the night the was caught
and tried but he was acquitted because
he was preserving the honor of his family
This place is now rental apts and ppl who live there
hear sounds of ppl coming up the stairs
and a few minutes later running down them
these reports are from ppl who did not know the story
Needless to say ppl don't live there long
We then went into the hotel lobby
that we were staying in and found out abt
the ghost that lives here
The Ghost Stories, as found in Susan Sheppherd's
Cry of the Banshee and the Forgotten Ohio website:
The ghost of Mr. Durward Hoag is
said to still be watching over his hotel,
and is most active on the third floor
, where a wing named in his honor is found.
Mr. Hoag likes to make his presence known
mainly by flickering and exploding light bulbs.
He is also said to manifest by flashes of bright light,
not unlike a camera flash firing.
Several employees are hesitant
to enter the third floor of the hotel alone,
although a malevolent haunting
has never been reported at the hotel.
Mr. Hoag also likes to make his presence
known throughout the third floor hallways
, but also by operating the elevator.
The elevator will often operate on its own accord,
frequently stopping at the roof level.
Employees have caught glimpses of him
out of the corner of their eyes,
and have even heard him whisper words
of advice and encouragement,
especially late-working accountants.
Papers and small objects are often found rearranged.
This building was a supper club in the 60's
the man who owned it use to go up to the roof
and sit with his legs swinging over the ledge
where it says 1899 and drink
He went missing for a week (he was known to do that)
and the police went up top and food him dead
No matter how much or what they do
the lock does not stay locked to the roof
I will post the untexted photos
then the ones where I have identified orbs*
This is a theater that is connected underground
with a theater across the street
Energy Orbs*
see below
The upstairs of this building
has been rental apartments
for years
it has been reported by people that
there has been moaning,crying and screaming
After some investigation
it was found out that it use to be
a sanatorium for TB or chronic diseases
You can see at the top of the building
it use to say chronic diseases
and Sanatorium
During the day
According to
ORBS DEFINED?
Orbs are generally agreed to be small spheres of
varying sizes, colors, and opacity appearing primarily
in photographs and alleged by some to be a form of basic
spirit energy\ in the genesis of manifestation.
Very seldom seen in any verifiable form with the naked eye,
the onset of affordable
home digital photography in the
mid-1990’s has overwhelmed
the field of paranormal
inquiry with a flood of orb and orb-like phenomena appearing
in hundreds of photographs
submitted as “proof” of the existence of ghosts
and the supernatural.
Though often the photographs were the result of legitimate
investigations into the veracity (or lack thereof) of hauntings in
particular locations, the vast majority of
orb photographs have originated with groups of avid “ghost hunters,”
hobbyists, really, during eager “investigations” in cemeteries
throughout the hills, plains, and backwaters of the US and Europe.
Occasionally, and with increasing frequency,
it might be noted, orbs have appeared in photographs
taken at other locations with no connection whatsoever
to hauntings, such as the homes and workplaces
of these intrepid paranormal enthusiasts. These orb manifestations
have been just as eagerly documented and often generate
a proliferation of initial excitement among
the enthusiastic little groups involved –
surely, they insist, this is only further proof of
the existence of ghosts and the supernatural?
Though orbs can be acceptably defined there are
different schools of thought on what these bizarre little globules
actually are. Many, most especially detractors of the use of
digital photography, believe the spheres of light
to be merely the presence of debris –
dust, pollen, water droplets - on the camera lens
or at best the failure of the digital technology to maximize
available light (flash or ambient) in particular
situations resulting in gapping that appears suspiciously
three dimensional in comparison
to the remainder of the photograph. To this group, there is nothing
whatsoever supernatural about the orb phenomena.
Another group, while remaining skeptical about the
validity of orbs as actual manifestations of spirit energy,
nonetheless adhere to
the belief in at least the existence of the spirit
world and in the ability of its denizens – usually operating under
some strict law of natural physics – to manifest
themselves in any number of forms, including orbs.
This line of thought is usually further qualified with
astute and informed scientific validations regarding
the spirit use of nascent available energy sources
– such as those emanating from batteries, power
and utility lines, and people – to “get their energy”
in order to appear in orb form. That the form would
be globule or sphere-like in nature is also
conjectured as the most “natural” form of manifestation available
to the spirit entity.
Then there is, of course, the large mass of “believers” in the orb
phenomenon as indisputable proof not only of the existence of ghosts
phenomenon as indisputable proof not only of the existence of ghosts
and spirits, but also of their unfailing propensity to appear most often
as little, supposedly innocuous balls of light. Sometimes the little spheres
have faces – smiley faces, frowny faces, and even animal faces. That
these enthusiastic orb supporters generally produce copious volumes
of photographic “evidence” of sphere-like ghosts in action in reputedly
haunted places, most often in cemeteries, only muddies the water for
those who seek undisputable, scientifically verifiable proof of
paranormal phenomena.
That said, however, it is when orbs are stripped of the science, the
speculation, and the smiley faces, and when the possibility is
acknowledged that at least SOME of the “orbs” captured are
actual manifestations of spirit beings, that the phenomenon begins
to take on validity and to speak to us with a cautious sensibility. Not
all spheres recorded in photographs are orbs, and not all spirit
manifestations occur as orbs. Nevertheless, orbs are very real.
You need to decide for yourself
ARE THEY REAL OR NOT?
I honestly do not know what to think, but I will say you have peeked my curiosity and want to look into it further.
