Introduction:
The one-man hide and seek, aka the one-man tag, is a ritual for contacting the dead.
The spirits which are wandering restless on the earth are always looking for bodies to possess. In this ritual you summon such a spirit by offering it a doll instead of a human body.
Warning: If you have psychic abilities you may feel unwell or be prone to accidents during the ritual.
The Waverly Hills Sanitarium in Louisville Kentucky has it all– cold spots, disembodied voices, and ghosts roaming the halls. It sits on a great hill overlooking the city and seems like a reigning fortress of gloom in its eerie, decaying state. The atmosphere is further darkened by a chilling history of mass death and of patient abuse during the years it was used as a geriatric hospital.
In 1910, a wooden two-story hospital was built on the site, which was the highest elevated hill in southern Jefferson County, but with tuberculousis rampant in the area, the building wasn’t big enough to house all of the patients. And so a new building was constructed in 1924, and the new Waverly Hospital opened in 1926.
The Lake Ronkonkoma area was first settled by Europeans in the 1600s. Prior to their arrival the area was already inhabited by Native Americans, such as the Iroquois. In the early 1900s Lake Ronkonkoma was known for its summer homes. The beach front provided a setting for many people to go and unwind. A reminder this time period can be seen in the remains of a small, recently closed used book store. The store used to be a refreshment stand for beach patrons.
Often mooted as the most haunted village in England, this picturesque Kentish village is certainly steeped in ghost stories, whether based on actual sightings or just modern folklore. Its reputation as a ghost village is not without its problems and the village can be a magnet to thrill seekers and also those with a genuine interest in the paranormal, especially around Halloween. While this may be a bonus to local businesses it does not come without its own pressures and there has been an increased police presence in the village around Halloween due to the sheer number of visitors. While every village and town has its fair share of ghosts stories, close scrutiny of Pluckley’s ghosts show many to have dubious origins.
For nearly 80 years people in the Jamestown area of central North Carolina have reported the lovely hitchhiker named Lydia. Lydia is not your typical hitchhiker though… she’s been dead since 1923.
