My Mood: SL Join Date: January 27, 2007 | One of my grandfathers grew up very near the Shiloh Battlefield, one of the bloodiest and most terrible battles of the War Between the States. Both of HIS grandfathers fought in that battle - on opposite sides. Anyway, when he was a child [ in the 1890s] he and his brothers would go over to Shiloh to play. The battle was about 30 years old at that time. they would never linger after dark though. Granddaddy said "Shiloh Hill is full of haints." They would see lanterns bobbing around like soldiers looking for wounded or dead friends or family members. In April, they would sometimes here the gun fire, cannons shooting, horses screaming etc. Now, my own experience with a ghost. During my first year of law school, I lived on Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano, CA. San Juan Capistrano dates back to 1776 and Los rios Street is one of the oldest streets in California. the part I lived on was just north of the old part. I was up late, studying, because I worked full time at real jobs all the way through law school. I became aware of someone, turned to my left and saw a woman coming down the stairs. She had shiny black hair - like obsidian and was wearing an old fashioned looking whire blouse, a black ornate vest and a beautiful, long, full cobalt blue skirt. Her face was turned away from me, so I never saw her face. She walked down the stairs and right through a wall. I found out later that there had been several mysterious sightings of a Spanish Lady in that area, who would just disappear. I never felt threatened by the apparation..she was there then she was gone. Sooz

My Mood: | I thought it was creepy and maybe if I had seen it live it would have scared me too. Some of the ghost appearing and disappearing effects were well done. The kids were bad at acting, though

I think the ghosts would have been scared by all the drunken falling over we did. | |

| Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | So my grandmother used to be kind of an occultist - she could read tarot from a regular deck of playing cards (I know, I know, wtf) and tea leaves. They had this clock that a crazy old man built... it never worked. Well, it worked when someone was going to die. It would dong several times, and then usually within two or three hours another family member would be dead. They took it out into the backyard and smashed it. |

My Mood: | Quote: After that, many things jump out and then a cute police woman arrests you and takes you to your cell. Last time I went, at 9pm they played sirens and mentioned that creatures had escaped and then people ran round in costumes screaming at customers. At the end, the creatures came together with a birthday cake for a woman who was having a birthday party and they all sang happy birthday to her. Unfortunately, by this time she was curled up in the corner of the restaurant crying and screaming. Looked strange seeing creatures singing happy birthday to a woman who can't stop crying. Here is a video to compare the different screams of different age groups. First 2 16year olds - kyaa 2nd 2 20 year olds - aaaa and (my waist hurts) with a kyaa later 2 more 16 year olds - kyaa, yaa and yadaaa with a gyaa at the end father and daughter - uwawawawawa (daughter is silent) grandmother - vweee | |

![]() Although I doubt if there is an earthquake or zombies that they will just scream - I am sure people will ask you to leave the restaurant too. When this siren goes off, it says "for your own safety, please do not leave your seat". Actually, that DOES sound like earthquake advice | |
