I also worked in a cemetery (more of a memorial park. No headstones, just bronze plaques' that laid flat. It did have a few mausoleums and a large tower Probably 100 ft, tall or so. The place was very nice and I never heard any spooky stories. We always had a few times where teens were having their makeshift satanic rituals, but we would usually chase them out before the police ever got there. It was a pretty good place to work everyone was pretty cool and we all loved a good joke. Years later, I read in the local paper that some kids broke into the tower, and one fell off the top and died in the ensuing fall. That shocked me as I had been up there on a few locations. I looked down and said that wouldn't be a pleasant fall. So, I guess that casualty would be their first ghost pf they do exist. Another cemetery story. Years later, when I was operating heavy equipment in the union, we were working on one of those cemeteries on Belmont ave. on the Schuylkill River. It was Halloween and I was getting to the cemetery really early to beat the Schuylkill traffic. I would arrive early and sit there in the dark waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive. This particular morning just happened to be Halloween and I sitting in the cemetery in the dark thinking "If I'm ever going to see a ghost, this would be the time. Then I saw some movement up on a hill and got all exited. as the image became clearer, it was clear that it was a few deer. They probably eat the fresh flowers from the graves. So, no ghost sightings yet.

I recently hear that The Cramps were not in the RARHOF. What band is more rock and roll than The Cramps? -
A lot of great stories. Iv have heard before that everybody has a ghost story, weather it is their own or someone else's.

Another story of note. Years ago we were all hunting. Staying at my cousin's cabin in upstate PA (70 or so mi. south of Penn State) Now this cabin had an interesting past as it was an old mining cabin that they had transported in on the back of a flatbed. So, its past was a already questionable. On night we were having a few beers and looking at a map of the area where we would be hunting the next day, and the map had all these little ghosts al over it and they told me this was old mining ghost towns. Then we all started talking about our own ghost stories. Just then, I see my cousin making this face and the first thing I think is hes messing with me. Then I turn around and the door of the cabin is slowly opening. Whell we all got a good scare and when we got ourselves together, I'm like "please tell me that happens all the time". And they told me thats never happened before. Funny this happened the precise time we were talking about ghosts. As if they were trying to say here we are.

That thing with the cold rooms and cold spots is another thin I hear often. Years ago, a few of us lived on the bike path to Vally Forge state park (you know, where Washingtons army had their first base back during the revolution). now this entire place is widely thought to be extremely haunted, but we were so used to riding the entire area that it didn't really bother any of us. One fall, a few of us invested in high dollar lighting systems for our mountain bikes to extend our nightly riding time. That first night 2 of us headed out and met a 3rd and when we began our first night ride , we stopped up buy the arch in the center of the park and I distinctly remember a few "cold spots". We all started nervously joking about it and continued our ride. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but every time we would stop to take a breather we would turn our lights off to save on batteries ,then turn them back on as we would start again. I must admit, sitting there in the woods in the pitch dark was pretty spooky, but maybe that just added to the excitement of the night ride. That and the thought that the whole thing was illegal and we would be fined if we ever got caught. We never did and one nigh we bumped into a fellow solo night rider, and it was kind like instant camaraderie.

Several more stories from that Blue Bell house alone. One day they were in the living room watching TV and a period shoe came flying in from the other room. ?

My dad and his uncle had 2 smaller boats when I was a kid (One was a Chris craft, even though it was a lot smaller). Maybe I'll give it to my dad when its finished. There is a pic of the Christ craft somewhere. A few when it was in our shop. They got it for a song because somebody left a running hose in it and it sunk at the dock. They put a new inboard- outboard engine in it and got it back up and running.

Just won one of these on eBay. One of those old Revell Chris craft sport fishing yachts. Should be cool to do a boat. As far as I can remember, I only did the PT 109 when I was a kid.

The experts say there are a good number of revolutionary era ghosts in this particular house. People that live there report hearing a guy whistling among other unexplained phenomenon.

I forgot this one from a wile ago. My friends sisters family live next to a house that has an enormous amount of paranormal activity. There are countless stories and professionals have been brought in that have confirmed all of the stories. This photo was taken some years ago. I'm pretty sure it's the barn on the property.

I remember the Afghan Whigs Black Love album. My friends band were on the road for almost 2 years opening up for Steve Erle and the Dukes. Steve was good friends with Greg Dulli (The frontman) and he told them stories about the studio they recorded that album in that was haunted and the cover art is incense burning trying to drawl out the spirits in the studio.
