Ghost Hunting?, ever done it? Options

[Doctor Soul]

Has anyone here ever went out late at night with a group of friends to search for ghosts? Do any of you have true ghost stories or experiences that has happened to you? I would like to know because a few of my friends and I are going to an abandoned insane asylum/mental hospital tonight and afterwards a famous bridge here in Los Angeles called "Suicide Bridge". Here's some information about the two..

Hollydale - Metal Hospital - In Pasadena behind the court house there is an abandoned metal hospital, but for some reason there is light shining through, when all the power has been shut off for years now. When you pass by, you see one curtain closed but then there is also one curtain that will close when you pass by. There has been people who have gone inside and gone down stairs, when they went down stairs it was pitch dark, and suddenly books where being thrown at everyone there. People have reported hearing voices, seeing orbs, and feelings of anger and feel very unwelcome. Doors have been reported to move on their own. Woman rumored to have killed herself unable to handle the voices after being at the asylum.

Colorado Bridge aka "Suicide Bridge" - A murder has occurred there, if you look carefully you can see a woman and her husband either dancing or fighting. Also at the front yard a girl has been seen about the age of 2 or 3 running around with a doll in her hand. Constructed in 1913, the 150 ft. high structure crosses the dry Arroyo Seco riverbed. Rumor has it that a construction worker toppled over the side of the bridge and plunged headfirst into a vat of wet concrete below. Assuming he could not be saved, workers left his body in the quick-drying mix to die. Allegedly his soul cries out for other desperate beings. This may explain why the bridge became a hot spot of sorts during the Depression when 95 people jumped to their deaths from 1919 to 1937. One of the most famous suicide attempts occurred on May 1, 1937, when a despondent mother threw her little baby girl over the railing and then jumped over herself. The mother died, but miraculously, the little girl survived the plunge. Her mother had inadvertently tossed her into some nearby trees, and she was later recovered from the thick branches.

ghost hunting is for losers

If all the ghost hunters are as hot as Jensen Ackles and Jared Jared Padalecki then I'm sure I'd probably do it more.

But no, I don't do the whole ghost hunting thing.


And why are you exactly going?

[*Kathleen*]

I used to go a lot around here (Pittsburgh) a few years ago with my friends. Those are interesting stories. What I've wanted to do but have not yet done is go up to the cemetary where Night of the Living Dead was filmed. That's supposedly haunted, and it'd just be sweet because it's Night of the Living Dead. Mmm ^ you just go to go.. and it beats watching a lame "scary" movie with friends.

I would too .

No, I haven't done anything like that before. I am way too scared anyways & there aren't many haunted place in Vancouver neither.

And why are you exactly going?

My buddy and I were watching some ghost videos on YouTube at work and we saw this Spanish video of this guy in a cemetary who gets freaked out by a ghost girl who is praying next to a grave or soemthing > search it. I think the main reason we're going is because we're curious. We've heard a bunch of stories from our friends and I guess we won't believe it unless we experience it for ourselves, y'know? Fa real.

[technicolour]

Aye. Well, I'm such a party pooper but you know what they say: Curiousity killed the cat. -shrug- At least you have the guts. I'm a little sissy and damn proud to admit it.

I get freaked out watching movies. I'm that bad.

[*Kathleen*]

Oh and there are actually ghosts at my school. Or at least were. We're getting a new school built currently, but our old one was over seventy years old with few renovations.

[technicolour]

^ Really lame question but did you see them?

[*Kathleen*]

Mmm just one. I used to be on stage crew and every once in awhile we would have to stay really really late on school nights (when no one was there, mind you). So we were sitting on the set, talking and then we heard something move around by the cage. We looked up and we saw this girl in a white dress. It was no one we recognized, and if it was someone from stage crew, we'd know who it was. We BOLTED out of there as fast as we could. After that, we never agreed to stay after. Haha.

[technicolour]

*shudders*

Creeeeepppyyyy.

[*Kathleen*]

I know. For a moment after we saw it, we all looked at each other then back at the cage again to see if we saw what we saw.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Nope, I havent ever gone Ghost hunting...

[*I Shot JFK*]

Well, my school is haunted.

The ghost of Catherine of Aragon, who was the 1st wife of HenryVIII and was exciled and died in the castle, haunts the place.

So does the ghost of a woman who, in a fit of madness, threw her baby from on eof the high windows into the courtyard.

i SERIOUSLY wan tto go in there one night with a couple of friends and snoop around. the place is creepy anyway, there are dungeons, and secret passages.

i frikken love my school.

[NatiMarie]

I've gone ghost hunting. The Senior Exit Project that I chose to do was to make a documentary about the haunted and paranormal sites in California. I went ghost-hunting and filmed a lot of places, like the abandoned army hospital in San Francisco...Moss Beach Distillery, Caroland's Mansion, Strawberry Hill, and many more.
;D
Fun stuff.

LOL i kinda have to agree with you



But my friends and I used to ghost hunt for fun and cause we were bored. we were so up to it cause we weren't afraid that time...............

we used to do the bloody mary near this haunted campsite in alaska...... and like bloody mary inside this cave at alaska....


the cave one was scary.......cause we were scared that a polar bear or a bear was gona attack us -_-;;; we weren't afraid of the ghost at all lol.


the apartment im living at is haunted....cause this place used to be a cemetry, but they moved it aside us..... if you come to ballinger commons apartment, you'll see a lot of black crows here -_-;;; it's so scary..

some neighbors said that they see ghost.... he has curly hair, wears woman's clothing, walks like he's mental i swear............ i think they're talking about this mental guy who lives by himself. and he has curly hair!!!! he's not a ghost!! it's funny cause everyone got scared of him, they thought he was the ghost XDDDDDD ...

well at first, my friend and i thought he was a good ghost too cause he was wearing all white, IT WAS FREAKING SCARY THAT NIGHT. it was like twilight zone -__-;

[no-name]

yeah..ghost hunting is a little pathetic

[dramatic irony]

My school is said to be haunted, as well. It's been around for an outrageously long time. At first, it was a hotel.. rumor has it that someone's finacee jumped out the window and committed suicide. What's the motive? I have no idea. So, after this said incident, no one wanted to stay at the hotel. They changed it into as asylum. After awhile, it died down so after many years of abandonment they decided the district needed another school.

I've always wanted to go ghost hunting, just for kicks. I live in the perfect town for it, too. It's an old historic site. I'm doing it one day.

[misoshiru]

I've heard of the Suicide bridge. I learned about it in APUSH last year.

I'm going to go ghost hunting in college. Apparently Mt. Holyoke is infested with ghosts
