Haunted Caches..

There's several out there world wide. Do a google on "haunted" and "geocache (or geocaching)" and it should return some interesting results.

 

My only cache so far is at a haunted or at least creepy spot. Haunted Hospital

Try checking out a web site called Wierd New Jersey, www.wierdnj.com Its full fo the type of stuff you are looking for and I believe geocacher by the name "ghwo" has tunred a lot of those locations into caches. Try doing a key word search under wierdnj or wierd new jersey.

I like the idea, especially since it look like you will be in my area. To help you get started, you know about the haunted house & apartments off of Beltway 8 in Pasadena, don't you. If not e-mail me and I'll tell you everything that I know about the place, the only problem is people are living in the apartments, but there should be several good hiding places around the area.

We went on a cache in Montreal (Mount Royal), this past July. It was almost dusk as we trekked through the woods. I started taking photos with my camera to lighten up the area. There were NO light sources (no street lamps, cars, etc.) As I said, we were in the woods. When we got back to our hotel, we found strange light sources in one photo. The photo before and photo after are just photos of the woods, plants, foilage. No lights. But photo 553 has what appear to be ecoplastm or swirling spheres all over it. Weird? I was sorta freaked out at first, then I got used to it and figured it was cool. See the photo for yourself. The cool thing is, because we were Geocaching, we have the exact cordinates if we ever want to go out there again. I would love to post the photo, but I can't figure out how. I will try to post the photo to the cache site later today. We never did find the cache. I think we were in the wrong spot. J

[Team Toict]

It is me again. I put the photo on our profile page. Check it out if you want.

Usually I think the orb type photo's are crap and they look like water droplets, however your photo actually seems real. you can see they are layered and not just something on the lens. I still don't beleive in that crap though.

I have never seen or taken a photo like this before. Probably never will again. I also saw the orb shots, and I think they look like water spots too. I just know there was not light source and this was a brand new camera. The photo before it and the photo after it look normal. So, I just don't know. Guess I will log it as unexplained. Jess

[+mogolloyd]

Was it film or digital?

[Team Toict]

It was digital. Nikon 5700.

[+GeckoGeek]

The only other time I've seen anything like that was clearly a case where the person shot with a flash but somehow the camera went into time exposure mode and picked up some other light sources. In that case it was cars and streetlights - very identifyable. I'm not sure what light source there might have been in the dark woods.

So that rules out scratches on the negative. Good choice on cameras I bought the same one for my wife.

[kristine bean]

It sounds like an awesome idea. Especially for October.

[sewersnoid]

In So. Calif- try "The Mexican Baby" -- it's pretty spooky at night. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=17658

It's probably just infrasound.

One of my travel bugs just got picked up from the Haunted Screaming Tunnel cache, not far from Niagra Falls. Sounds creepy. Even creepier is the fact that my TB was never logged into the cache! It just appeared there! Oooooooo!

 

Hey, didn't my renewal check clear?

[+bitbrain]

This happened about a month ago in a little town in south Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true. I was on the side of the road hiking back to my truck after an unsuccessful cache hunt on a very dark night. As I walked it started raining. Hard stinging rain. Drops the size of big grapes.

 

The storm was so strong I could hardly see a few feet ahead of me. Then I saw a car slowly looming, ghostlike, out of the gloom. It slowly crept toward me and stopped. Reflexively, I got into the car and closed the door, then realized that there was nobody behind the wheel.

 

The car slowly started moving again. I was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running.

 

I saw that the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve. I started to pray, begging for my life; I was sure the ghost car would go off the road and I would plunge to my death, when just before the curve, a hand appeared thru the window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.

 

Paralyzed with terror, I watched the hand reappear every time the car reached a curve.

 

Finally, I gathered my wits and jumped from the car and ran to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, I went into a bar and ordered two shots of tequila, and told everybody about my horrible, supernatural experience. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized I was apparently sane and not (yet) drunk.

 

About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar. One says to the other, "Look Boudreaux, dat's the man what rode in our car when we was pushin' it in the rain."

A question for the picture takers:

 

Do any of you smoke? I took some shots at dusk near "Covert Cache" in Milwaukee that turned out just like that. The flash was picking up the smoke that was drifting up from the cigarette in my hand. May not be the case but my shots looked just like the ones you took.

[+Jeeters]

When I looked at the pic, I immediately thought of smoke or steam, too. imho, it's likely the flash reflecting through evening mist rising up from the ground.

Team toict:

 

Here's another example of unusual "visions" on a digital picture. Took this as we were settling down in the tipi for the night. (The tipi in the picture is on a friend's property in the Georgia mountains. Needless to say, it quickly became a local landmark)

 

 

As you said, there were no light sources other than my flash. You can see the "smoke" from my breath as I exhaled in the upper right of the picture, so that's not what caused the image. We now joke that it's the spirit of an Indian chief buried on the property.

 

Unusual picture, though.

I KNOW I'll find it if I just keep LOOKING!

Nope. No smoke. No mist. The photos before and after are perfectly fine (nothing unusual about this).

Who knows. Just a strange photo.

Nope we don's smoke. The photo was taken in early July. The photo after and before are clear (no mist).

 

Thanks for your comments.

We had an interesting experience at a cache called "Not quite six feet under" recently. The cache is located in a park that used to be a cemetery. All of the headstones were moved to one area, but the bodies were never moved.

 

Let me set the stage for you...

We decided to hunt this one at night (but not late) in keeping with the theme. We thought it would be ok to bring the baby with us, NOT! We noticed that the GPSr was pointing us to the hillside behind the headstones. REALLY DARK AND REALLY CREEPY!!!! We hopped down from the wall and decided that I (dad) would take the first turn at finding the cache since it wouldn't be safe for the baby to go down the hill. I couldn't get a good signal on the GPSr so I spent most of my time tromping up and down and all over that hillside only seeing what my flashlight shined on and NOTHING ELSE. I decided that I was not going to be able to find it so I went back up to give the GPSr to Mom and let her have a go at it.

 

Here is where the story gets really creepy...

Mom proceeded about 20 feet down the hill to check out a particular spot. She was only looking around for maybe 2 minutes before we got the scare of our lives... After only a minute of looking she accidentally knocked a rock down the hill but it stopped against a tree not too far down the hill. 60 seconds goes by...then I see my wife turn her back to me with the flash light pointing down the hill and says "Honey are you down there??" My spine instantly tingled and I said sternly "NO! Get up here now!!!" Just as I said that we heard what were distinctly human footsteps about 6 feet away from Mom but she could see nothing. As she started up the hill it sounded as though the foot steps were running away but stopped and started walking back toward us. I proceeded to practically throw my wife up the wall and hand her the baby in his car seat. As the steps behind grew slower my heartbeat only increased as I expected a hand from my wife to get up the wall and turned to see that she took off without me!!!! what a ... so I proceeded to seal flop up the wall and stumble to my feet. You see, I am in no shape to dodge or run from the boogie man or a zombie guarding this cache. Whomever or whatever it was never said a word and the strangest thing is that I was all over that hill just a minute before my wife went down there and I saw nothing. We would have DEFINITELY heard someone coming up on us as the bark and leaves were hardly quiet under our feet. He or it was definitely there the whole time. Maybe they were not quite 6 feet under...if you know what I mean.

 

This will definitely be a DAY cache for us next time!

[+Green Achers]

I'm not sure about ''haunted'' but the two caches I've hunted that come close to the topic are Scenic Surprise which is in a cemetary [darn that it's closed at night] and Wait Until Dark which is possibly the best cache I've ever hunted. I'm one of the few cachers that have hunted Wait Until Dark alone... likely because all the other cachers have common sense.

[Pooh and friends]

Here is a virtiual cache that is a hauntingly cursed Witch's Leg

[The_Brownies]

My Mom took a tour of Washington DC and she was in the old theater. My Brother in Law took a photo of her, and the same thing occured. Some pictures were just of the theater but other pictures showed phantasmic whisps of light as shown in the picture above. Very eerie.

 

Can you believe that there are actual ghost hunters out there that do this very same thing, but they use very low light film. Some photos are just of the surroundings but then in some, you will see faces, and fiqures.

 

Here is a true ghost story. When my brother was young, my parents bought a house from an elderly couple who's son had been killed in Korea or Vietnam? Mom never did give the specifics as to which war. Anyway, not long after they moved into the house, funny things started to happen to my mother and brother. The ghost would pull the sheets of mom's bed, and he would purposely scare my brother. One night my mother heard my brother crying. She went in to comfort him, when she saw the ghost (Clayton) sitting in the rocking chair next to my brothers crib, reading a book. Mom said he looked at her and then disappeared. After a while, the ghost did go away never to return. My guess was he was lonely and when his paents died he went to be with them. But Ghosts are real and they walk among us.

 

Another odd occurance happend to neighbors of our's in Tennessee. While stationed at Ft Campbell, KY in 1992 we lived in an apartment complex, Paddock Place Apartments, just above a young couple who had a small boy. His name was Cody. From time to time Cody would tell April, his mom, that there was a man in his room. Of course when they would go into the room no one was there. April, who was part native american if I'm not mistaken, had a medium come in, and sure enough, there was an Indian spirit living in Cody's room but the spirit was a good spirit. From what the medium had said, there had once been an Indian grave yard long ago in the place where the apartment complex now stood. Cody's room happened to be the closest to an old Oak tree that seemed to be the hot spot for the spirits. Anyway, April did not have the Spirit banashed, and he probably is still there till this very day.

I set one up last year Illnans Haunted Night Cache

This area is very creepy. I put some info about the area on the listing but for everyone here I will re post some more info.

 

Many years ago 2 children passed away by there own doing because of what was going on in there home life. they used to ride there bikes and play here in the woods all the time. One day something just came over them, and end of story.

 

A few years ago while I was on the fire Dept, we got a medical call near this area for a person with massive blood loss. Once we arrived on scene we were approached by (edit) and what was said to us we immediately knew what we were in for. My C.O. went in while I stayed out with (edit) While waiting for the state Police we did a mini investigation and noticed that the persons 4-wheeler was not in the garage and ALL of the clothing that the person was wearing were on the ground covered in mud. I could tell from the tracks in the yard and on the Dirt Rd where this person had come from. Later that night I went up to this area and could tell that this person had been in this area.

 

About a year earlier a hunter that had hunted this area most of his life, got lost 100 ft from the road and got bunked down for the night. He had no idea what happened, he just couldn't figure out where he was.

 

There was also talk of "The Man in the Woods". Not much was know about him other then he lived off the land, lived in a cave and wore skins. Not to many people had ever seen him, and when they have he was gone as fast as he appeared.

 

I know there are other things that have gone on up here but no one is talking about them.

I did the witches grave before. It's supposed to be a huanted grave.
