halloween roundup

a short list of some of the spooky places i’ve been this year. This isn’t including most of my urbex/rurex stuff, since this would be a crazy long list if I did that. So, without further ado, in no particular order:

1.The Sallie House! Atchison, Kansas

Cheers, demons!  I stayed here for one night in May, and it was predictably creepy! I didn’t really experience anything one might consider to be “concrete” evidence, but I don’t really think that’s how spirits work anyway. I might do a longer write up about my stay here in the future. 

2. The Devil’s Tramping Ground, Bear Creek, North Carolina

For anyone whose been hanging out on the ooky spooky side of the internet for long enough, y’all know this is a must see. And it did not disappoint! The day I went was pretty rainy, which created the perfect ~ambiance~. Nothing weird happened, but I was followed back to my car by a pretty little red bird, which I like to pretend was some sort of demon keeping an eye on the place.

3. Strawberry Chapel, Cordesville, South Carolina

Another spooky internet classic! I obviously didn’t get to go in, but even from outside the fence this place gave off a vibe. Whoever owns the property has clearly had issues with other ghost seeking peeps in the past, since this place is covered in cameras, no trespassing signs, and barbed wire. Still a great place to check out imo.

4. Lost Colony of Roanoke, Dare County, North Carolina

This is probably the scariest place on the list I visited, and it had nothing to do with the Lost Colony. When I went there was a pretty hardcore storm, and the road you have to drive on to get the island seemed a little too close to the tumultuous ocean that surrounded it. I was pretty sure my little Camry and me were toast. So if anyone asks, I’d say that the Lost Colony probably died on the highway on the way there. 

5. Grave of Carrie Kiene, Topeka, Kansas

This one isn’t so spooky to me , but it is a grave so I guess it belongs here. Some mysterious person (or spirit?) dresses up the statue at the grave of this child. Honestly I think it’s pretty cute, and a nice way to remember someone who died so young so long ago.

6.The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, Bishopville, South Carolina

I finally got to visit one of my favorite cryptids, and let me tell you he’s a charmer! This little town basically has the lizard man, and a cotton museum. Be warned, the man at museum is very nice, but you will get sucked into an hour long talk about the history of cotton. 

7. Roswell, New Mexico

I mean, it’s Roswell, what else is there to say? A tourist trap, but probably the most famous tourist trap ever. Roswell will always have a special place in my heart. 

8.Branch Davidian Massacre Site, Waco, Texas

Didn’t really get to go inside, but it was still really interesting to put a visual to one of the most infamous cults of all time. 

9. Grave of “Little Boy”,  Graniteville, South Carolina

2 child graves in one post? Yes, but again this one is mostly sweet. Over 150 years after this anonymous boy passed away, townspeople are still dotting his grave with toys, flowers, and blankets. 

10. Biggins Church Ruins, Biggins, South Carolina

Some church ruins. I tried to whip out my tape recorder and catch some spooky ghost toons, but there were other people around, and it was like 2pm on a Tuesday, which I don’t think is prime ghost hunting hour.

11. Bell Witch Cave, Adams, Tennessee

Okay, tbhrn this is another one that I couldn’t actually get into. But I was in the general area, and like, I get it. This counts right? Maybe I’ll try again this year. Roadtrips are 100% trial and error.

12. Monkey Massacre Memorial, Duluth, Georgia

It’s a tale as old as time. Circus train crashes, dozens of monkeys flee into the woods, Georgia farmers freak out and shoot all of them, artists creates a weird tribute to them in an otherwise normal nature preserve.

13. Clutter Family Home, Holcomb, Kansas

Real life site of the In Cold Blood murders. We drove off pretty fast after seeing that it was very visibly occupied by some random family. Kudos to them for living there, I don’t think I could.
