Haunted Cache Sites

April 16, 2005

I just got an email from a friend with a link to a site that lists haunted areas Shawdowlands . Now I notice here in Massachusetts there are a couple of cache sites that are listed as haunted (train tunnel in Clinton , state hospital in Northampton) . There have been threads like this in the past but here's what I'm suggesting / looking for : cache sites that are on that list (it's a big list ) and maybe to give people ideas for future cache sites . Look through the list do some research and see what comes up , I bet that we can come up with quite a few caches that are in or very close to these places . Enjoy !!

Crumhenge is probably haunted. Or at least, I've added my own ghost story to the mythos.

GCNDD8 - To a Sunken City (Southern IL) Goes to an Island in the Mississippi River, that was cut off from the Mainland. The possible reason an Indian Curse,that was murdered. After being caught with a girl who had run away so they can be married.

They captured the indian and tied him to a log and put him in the River, but the indian shouted this curse

"...May the filthy spot on which your altars stand be destroyed,

may your crops be failures, your homes be dilapidated.

May your dead be disturbed in their graves and

your land become a feeding place for fishes!.."

Because of the curse, the river floods, and desrtroyed the town of Kaskaskia. When the river rolled over the cemetary, the caskets floated up and re-sunk and "The dead were disturbed from thier graves."

He sure was articulate for a man about to drown in a frontier river.

Here's a place in CT that is haunted ; Meriden - Hubbard Park - A young girl was said to be kidnapped and brought into some woods at Hubbard Park and now haunts the park. She will save those being kidnapped of killed and kill the ones who are kidnapping or killing. She is said to look like a 7-year-old girl and she will laugh when she kills someone bad.

Here's all the caches on the map ;

Anyone know of any in Northern California?

May 5, 2005

What about FL? Surely, there must be some good ones here.

May 6, 2005

Well, there's this one in northern Virginia: The Bunny Man Cometh. Actually, I thought that the story behind the story was even stranger and more interesting.

:huh:

May 6, 2005

Bunnyman thing was a good read. Thanks

We started a cache series in Corpus Christi, TX that takes you to five haunted locations. They are all on that list you posted. People seem to enjoy them, but not too many go at night!

Jail House Spook ~ H.C.#1

Smith's Haunt ~ H.C.#2

If it's not it should be! ~ H.C.#3

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines ~ H.C.#4

Deep In The Heart Of The Beast ~ H.C. # 5

(We'll be replacing the two disabled ones next week when we get back down there. :huh: )

Hey All~

Now I'm not sure of your beliefs in haunted places, but I will tell you, I am an avid believer in the paranormal, and one thing that I have found (since I hide a lot of caches in cemeteries) is that sometimes the energy being given off in a haunted place, messes with GPS equipment, I've had this happen on several occasions. Now I could write it off as coincidence, but I don't seem to have a problem with my GPS going nuts anywhere else. besides a select few cemeteries...so if you deicide to hide or seek a cache in an alleged haunted location, mind what your GPS is doing.

May 12, 2005

I watched that show that featured the Bunnyman Bridge and have been interested in it for a long time. Cool to see a cache near there.

May 22, 2005

Okay here's another site that I know has caches in the area of quite a few of these . Ghost towns have a look and see how many more cache sites coinside with these Ghost towns .

May 22, 2005

This is a night only cache we placed near Manasco. This town is listed on the above link as a "ghost town" in Alabama.

Did You Hear That?

We even had two cachers who spent the night there!!!!!!!

Ok, call me silly but I had a spooky experience at "Deep Inside the Woods (Park)". All day our gpsr wasn't cooperating until this cache. We arrived just at dusk so the walk across the field was fine but under the trees it was considerably darker. I thought it was going to take a while to find in the dark but the gpsr pointed right to the inch and there it was glowing silver. Cool, easy find! However, as I was putting it back I realized it wasn't silver and how the heck had it glowed or even reflected what light there was? [insert eery "woooo" here]

This seems to happen to us everytime we are in or near a cemetery or any other area with supposed ghost/spirits.

May 24, 2005

Here is a location that I have placed a cache. The story is what caught my eye and then when I went to the spot I just had to place a cache near this spot.

Howsabout Northern CA? -since we're asking.

June 3, 2005

There is a cache near Anderson that is suppose to be haunted Old Dixon Bridge. The locals all call it Cry Baby Bridge. <_< I saw one listed on the Shadowlands website. But does this really count as a haunted location or an Urban Legend? I'm pretty sure I've heard of other Crybaby Bridges throughout the country.

June 4, 2005

Well if you want to find out where there are haunted areas/caches go to the link that I provided in my previous posting .

GCGZ9W Are You The One? #09 - The Gatekeepers was located at an old haunted tavern in Portland Oregon. My mom used to tell me that the tavern was haunted when i was little. it was cool to see a cache placed there, and it be listed on the web as a haunted site.

Just reading through that Shadowlands website, I've discovered a lot of high quality, GRADE A bullsh*t

It has a lot of local areas that are supposedly haunted, but you can tell, whoever submitted the stories took quite a bit of artistic license in writing the details.

I've got an idea however, that involves more local legend than anything else...

June 11, 2005

There was a story about my hometown that was total bull on shadowlands, when I brought this to their attention it was removed promptly. I think they only go by submission and not their own research, but some of the things I've read there are among the local lengends that I greww up with.

I was wondering if anybody might know of any places in Michigan that might be by a haunted cache site? Espesually in the Gladwin area 48624. Think that would be neat to go do a theme cache there. Any info would be appriciated. Thanks

There's one in Maryville, TN... thought for sure there'd be something in Knoxvillle with all the cemetery caches there, but nothing. Closest thing I found in Ktown was a cache about a block and a half from the Bijou, but not close enough to count.

Never knew Wilson Hall was supposed to be haunted, but it's listed on Shadowlands. Here's the cache there (for now anyway).

GCM1QZ Maryville College: Wilson

Check out The Mothman Returns! near Point Pleasant WV. Cache is at the site where a 9 foot mothlike creature was seen by over 100 people. It is an abandoned TNT plant that is just a concrete skeleton now. Very creepy, You would not catch me there at night! Supposedly there was also a lot of ufo activity there.

John Keel wrote a book about it called the Mothman Prophecies and it was made into a movie starring Richard Gere. There is also a large statue of the Mothman in downtown Point Pleasant

There is a bit of folk lore in the Adirondacks in NY about "haunted" or places with "spirits" mostly from Indian legends...find out more by look at http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/nadbrennan/ADKfolklore.html

I did the cache up by the old mental hospital in Northampton at dusk, in the winter. It's a pretty creepy site. That Shadowlands website also lists The Devils' Stomping Ground in NC, but it isn't in Angier like the listing says. It's about 30 NW of there.

This archived virt was placed there, and there is this newer cache currently there. Only three finds in eight months. Now that's unnatural for this area. :lol:

August 9, 2005

Just found this topic and thought that this might be of interest!

This one interests me. I am not convinced by the setter's ghost photo (looks like breath caught in the camera flash on a cold day) but the stories in the logs are pretty weird. It's on my list of places to visit! Edited August 16, 2005 by Alibags

reading the logs for that one it seems like one of the ladies isn't a very friendly person at all!

August 25, 2005

The building now houses the local historical society and this lady must think she ownes it.LOL Hinckley has been very supportive to geocaching and there are several great caches in the area. She's just one of those bad apples.

August 25, 2005

yeah...I would do the caches if it weren't so far away. I don't even travel for work to make that an excuse :huh:

He sure was articulate for a man about to drown in a frontier river.

This one site I also submitted to Shadowlands, and they never posted it..... I know it is reliable because it is in 2 books, Haunted Illinois, and Wierd Illinois, and they can be found at Barnes andNoble Bookstores (well Haunted IL is outdated now)

And the curse was originally in French

January 26, 2006

This listing of ours is the one haunt that everyone around here knows about, but I have met people in other states who have heard of it too. :mad:

January 26, 2006

Theres the "BEWARE, this cache is cursed!!" cache near here, GCRCQE.

Theres also one at a weird camp near hear that is really creepy. It's a camp for psychics and stuff. It's really weird. "BEHIND THE SUN" GCGQVP. I havn't been there but read the logs.

A cache I hunted yesterday is in a very haunted section of woods near Chicago. Previous finders claimed the same GPSr issues I had.

Bachelor's Grove and the surrounding woods are said to be one of the most haunted places in our area.

NoLemon's 1000th is near the cemetery as well as

Ghost stories: Bachelor's Grove which is actually in the cemetery.

My cache May 25, 1979 is in a supposed haunted location. Read about the hauntings here.

Those are just a few in the Chicago area.

One of my favorite Haunted Caches is CYBret's The Witch's Grave. The drive to the cemetery is creepy. Really neat place and story behind it.

February 3, 2006

Anyone know of any "haunted" cache sites in the DC metro area? This could be a blast, especially if the site(s) allow(s) for night caching.
