Ghost Sex Investigation
EUCLID, Ohio — Some unusual house guests have overstayed their welcome on Cleveland’s east side.
Last fall, FOX 8 News profiled Dianne Carlisle, who claimed to have ghosts living inside her Euclid home.  According to Dianne, her granddaughter snapped a picture of the spirits having an intimate affair. ”It look like ghosts having sex in my living room,” exclaimed Dianne in 2011.  Several months have passed and Dianne doesn’t doubt her ghostly visitors, even though the sex seems to have stopped. “Not with them, or me! No,” said Dianne, who skyrocketed to fame following the afterlife affair she discussed on FOX 8. Even some of her closest friends have experienced a close encounter in the house.     read

Double Eagle Restaurant

Visit the Ghosts of the Double Eagle Restaurant

"This century-old story was pieced together from old-timers’ tales, newspaper accounts from Mesilla’s early days and even some private diary entries. The digging took a lot of effort, as much of Mesilla’s turbulent and often violent history became enmeshed in the tale. Here is the “ghost tale” as best we can piece together"    read

Secret 'Stache: El Paso's Haunted Roads

El Paso certainly has no shortage of ghost stories. I wonder what it is about being desert-dwellers that makes us so death-obsessed. In any case, did you know that vengeful apparitions aren't confined to spooky attics and basements? Some modern-day ghosts aren't cool with waiting to terrorize impudent teenagers in abandoned houses, and choose to haunt where the people are: our roadways.   read

House in Scotland Gets Second Blessing

From the Daily Record

A MINISTER performed a second exorcism at a haunted house yesterday – after the ghostly goings-on got worse following his first attempt.

The Reverend Keith Mack performed special blessings at the property a fortnight ago.

But he was called back when Vicky Dann and her daughters, Jenna, 18, and Emma, 11, continued to see ghosts in the house in Dalkeith, Midlothian.

Mr Mack, of the town’s St John’s and King’s Park Church, spent about an hour saying prayers in each room yesterday.

He said: “We have blessed a few houses, and it seems to have done the trick. However, it doesn’t seem to have worked fully here.”

Vicky, 40, said the family started seeing ghosts, including a man in a black suit and a blonde in a white nightie, about two years ago.

She said: “Every time we take pictures in the house we either get orbs or people we don’t know in them. Sometimes you can sense that somebody is watching you.”

Mr Mack said if the second exorcism failed to work, he would speak to other ministers to “see what they would do”.

Vicky wasn’t too hopeful that the blessings would drive out the spirits, saying: “After the minister was here the last time, it got much worse.”

Museum in Italy Calls Ghost Hunters

An Italian museum has called in ghost hunters after workers carrying out overnight renovations downed tools claiming the building was haunted. Builders say they have heard chilling screams, felt temperatures suddenly plunge and even seen ghosts while working at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy.

One of the men said: 'There is something strange that happens at nights in this museum. Objects inside get mysteriously moved or vanish, and there are the apparitions as well.'
