Here is another submission - thanks to Larry from The Haunted Barn for this one!One night, my wife decided to go out to the Barn to make sure there was nothing left in the refrigerator that may freeze since it was winter time and the Haunted Barn had closed for the season. As she walked toward the barn she noticed some lights running. She found it strange since everything is unplugged after we close down. So, she went and shut off the lights and removed a few things from the refrigerator. She told me about the lights and it made no sense...
Here is the first of many ghost story'/paranoramal events that I have received - Thanks to Pamela for this one! As promised, I would post the best:"My youngest son was 3 at the time of this event! The year was 1995. My son woke up about 2 AM screaming, “The man in the overalls was going to hurt the woman in the checkered dress.” My son was crazy with fear. I, doing the mom thing, told him it was just a bad dream. I rocked him in my arms as he was shaking with fear. No matter what I said, he...

Right now you can add events from the list or the event pages and delete events from your list. Route planning, notes, and sharing are up next.
Ok - the freakiest thing just happened to me - wifey and I, after putting our son to bed, were sitting in the living room.All of a sudden, a glass on the table in the next room . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . SHATTERED! No one was near it, no one was touching it. The glass just shattered!Being a fan of Ghost Hunters, I immediately began to ask questions such as, "Are there any spirits with us" and "If there is someone present, please make a banging sound." This REALLY freaked...
