Corpse Grinder

To answer Bob, yeah I do. I haven't physically seen one, but I've heard some things. My name being clearly whispered one night when I was reading in bed. It was so clear I turned suddenly, and of course no one was there. Even though it didn't sound like one of my parents, I went to ask them but they were both sound asleep (no siblings either.) And just recently, I've been hearing it a lot more frequently, and like a week ago, this song just started playing in my head, I've never heard it before, and it was so clear as well...it was like my brain tuned into some radio station for a short while - and all it was was a snippet. And footsteps - I distinctly hear someone walking around. All the time. My mom does too. In fact, once she asked me if my father was home yet and I said "yeah, upstairs." But he wasn't home yet. I just heard his footsteps so distinctly I could have sworn he was home. Well, this is starting to creep me out so I'll end it here for now.

Welcome

Barbara

I have to second Moe, if I was your mother I would be on pins and needles!

But really, do be careful.

Ward Light

Barbara

Not a bad idea nightwolf, but I think on Halloween the guards are on much higher alert - it'd be near impossible not to get caught - trust me, I know lol.

Swept Away

I love this boat! It's so quaint! *wants it in her backyard*

Piping

Barbara

EEW giant mosquitoes - well they love that stagnant water! My parents will always be sitting outside in the summer, and tell me to come out, there's no bugs bitiing. Well, as soon as I step outside...*ZAP* they all stick to me. So considering this was during the West Nile scare, I would go running around in random zig-zag patterns all over the yard to avoid them. Didn't help that a squirrel fell out of a tree in our backyard (a sign of West Nile) - it was ok though. And that we found a dead bird in our front yard a little before that...

Boiler

Barbara

rich, I was gonna say something about this remiding me of the Titanic, but I don't know much about boilers, so I figured I could have sounded a might foolish! Yeah, I think I was around 10 when that movie came out, and I got really interested in the whole Titanic thing - this "abandoned" ship at the bottom of the ocean - now things are all coming together, I see where my interest budded from!

Stairwell

Yes yes yes! Calendar! *jumps up and down like a little child* *ahem* Erm, yes, a calendar would be nice, I reckon.

Apparition

Barbara

Yeah that did turn out really cool - it almost looks like two people walking toward you - if I look close enough I can make out some facial features...and the "figure" on the left almost looks like its carrying a candle...and they both look as if they're floating...really neat! Come to think of it, though, the guy on the left looks like he's holding a bottle of beer...Radical Ed? LOL

Do These

Barbara

It does look rather small, but I'm invisioning the two lines near the top of the door are about chair-rail height, maybe?

Anyways, this must have really played with the residents' minds...I mean sure they could have been told what they were for but its just weird. Even a perfectly sane person would get a little disturbed with tiny small doors all over the place. Red potion or blue potion? ( I think, right? "Alice in Wonderland," eh, eh?)

Reflection

Barbara

Yes, good thing you stopped dead in your tracks....

See, this is what worries me when people go to these places and do drugs and drink...you really need to be fully alert and on your toes at all times to avoid sudden death or serious injury in these places...even completely sober you're still in a lot of danger. Especially younger kids that have no clue about these places to begin with.

Blue Room

Morgue

Nice blue glow from the top spot there, or is that some strange reflection of you?

Stairwell

Yikes, it looks like someone's hiding in a blanket under there.

Fallen

Barbara

Wow, nice! Did that fall throught the "ceiling" above, or did it tip over?

The Ballroom

Barbara

I absolutely love this place, its so mystical.

Greenhouse

Barbara

You're right, rich, in some ways I am lucky - but around where I live this is actually quite uncommon. Around where I am, things are pretty much the same...I would assume the property the house stands on is still under possesion of its previous owner - why it hasn't been leveled (perhaps it has by now, I don't get out that way often) I don't know. It could very well be the ground is evil after all the horrible things that happened there. I know I wouldn't have lived there and I wouldn't want to live next door either. Since the building is a neighborhood lot, there really isn't anything that could be done with it. I doubt many people jump at the chance to build a house there with the place's history. Otherwise, for the most part, urban development has immediately torn down recently abandoned buildings, and the town itself is careful to do so as well so as to keep a good image.

I just watched "Cry Baby" the other day and its so weird to see the place full of life, compared to its current state. Very sad!
