Tonite they had a story on about the Dixmont site landslide. They did a "ghostly" story saying that the site is reportedly haunted by it's past as a Hospital. They put up pics of Dixmont on the screen and several were Mott's pic and the screen said "Courtesy of Opacity" !!!!!! I was so excited.   They then did an interview with a spiritual ghost hunting type lady and she talked about the place's ghost getting revenge and causing the hillside to slide, etc, etc.  :roll: They did this "fun" kind of story due to Halloween being close. It was cool to see Opacity on TV though!

Update on the slide: There are still no answers, and there is a political figure, I think a State Rep or Congressman who said he wanted to try to push to make the site a park or greenway.   I can only hope.

there still working on clearing durt away, i belive they have the tracks uncovered.

they should of left the site alone in the first place, fuckin wal-mart

If you believe in ghosts or not, ghost stories serve a purpose.

I would hype the ghost stories all the way, and when the Wal-Mart opened I would post bogus or true ghost stories on line. I would make this one the Amitiville Horror of Wal-Marts, just to make people too afraid to shop there.

I'm evil that way. :evil:

I think there is a link to a video there.  I'm not sure if it is the news story or not.  I have trouble viewing video.

I hope my roommates don't think I'm nuts. I shouted "yeah!" when I saw the photos.  :lol:

I love local news stories. They're so cheesy. The music and everything.

I saw the news story tonight and thought it was great!  I have been fascinated with Dixmont for a number of years, but the last time I searched for info on it, several years ago, I could hardly find anything.  I am amazed at all there is now.  I am really enjoying Motts pictures on the site.  I just wish I could have actually gone up there before it was demolished.

Reading all of the comments from the group that formed almost a year ago has been very entertaining - some of the comments are so funny, while others are very informative.  Lynne, you give some excellent information and links.  I take it you've been invovled in the mental health field for a number of years??

I will definitely be a "regular" on here now.

Wow... so cheesy...  so awesome!!!  I'm just pumped to see Motts pictures being credited for once; I've caught some pics a couple of times being used in TV shows that "forgot" to credit the source...

[desmet]

Lynne, I don't care what you say, there's no way you're 'that old'..! (Unless you meant the floods this week in Texas, in which case I apologize for misunderstanding!)
