Ghost Trekking

We went on a Ghost Trekking Tour

Lynne from Hidden Marietta

was our guide

This building was a brothel the story is a well to do man

who lived in a fancy house a few blocks away

fell for a working girl she would visit her nightly

one night his ax carrying teenaged son 

followed him here after the lights went out

he went up the stairs and chopped his fathers head off

blood spewing everywhere

and ran down the stairs into the night the was caught

 and tried but he was acquitted because

he was preserving the honor of his family

This place is now rental apts and ppl who live there 

hear sounds of ppl coming up the stairs

and a few minutes later running down them

these reports are from ppl who did not know the story

Needless to say ppl don't live there long

We then went into the hotel lobby

that we were staying in and found out abt

the ghost that lives here

The Ghost Stories, as found in Susan Sheppherd's 

Cry of the Banshee and the Forgotten Ohio website:

The ghost of Mr. Durward Hoag is 

said to still be watching over his hotel,

 and is most active on the third floor

, where a wing named in his honor is found.  

Mr. Hoag likes to make his presence known

 mainly by flickering and exploding light bulbs.  

He is also said to manifest by flashes of bright light,

 not unlike a camera flash firing.  

Several employees are hesitant 

to enter the third floor of the hotel alone,

 although a malevolent haunting

 has never been reported at the hotel. 

Mr. Hoag also likes to make his presence

 known throughout the third floor hallways

, but also by operating the elevator.

  The elevator will often operate on its own accord,

 frequently stopping at the roof level.  

Employees have caught glimpses of him

 out of the corner of their eyes,

 and have even heard him whisper words

 of advice and encouragement, 

especially late-working accountants.  

Papers and small objects are often found rearranged.

This building was a supper club in the 60's

the man who owned it use to go up to the roof 

and sit with his legs swinging over the ledge

 where it says 1899 and drink

He went missing for a week (he was known to do that)

and the police went up top and food him dead

No matter how much or what they do

 the lock does not stay locked to the roof

I will post the untexted photos

then the ones where I have identified orbs*

This is a theater that is connected underground

with a theater  across the street

Energy Orbs*

see below

The upstairs of this building

has been rental apartments

for years

 it has been reported by people that

there has been moaning,crying and screaming

After some investigation

it was found out that it use to be

a sanatorium for TB or chronic diseases

You can see at the top of the building

it use to say chronic diseases 

and Sanatorium

During the day

ORBS DEFINED?

Orbs are generally agreed to be small spheres of 

varying sizes, colors, and opacity appearing primarily

 in photographs and alleged by some to be a form of basic

spirit energy\ in the genesis of manifestation. 

Very seldom seen in any verifiable form with the naked eye, 

the onset of affordable 

home digital photography in the
 mid-1990’s has overwhelmed 

the field of paranormal 

inquiry with a flood of orb and orb-like phenomena appearing

 in hundreds of photographs 

submitted as “proof” of the existence of ghosts 

and the supernatural. 

Though often the photographs were the result of legitimate

investigations into  the veracity (or lack thereof) of hauntings in

 particular locations, the vast majority of

 orb photographs have originated with groups of avid “ghost hunters,”

 hobbyists, really, during eager “investigations” in cemeteries

 throughout the hills, plains, and backwaters of the US and Europe. 

Occasionally, and with increasing frequency, 

it might be noted, orbs have appeared in photographs

 taken at other locations with no connection whatsoever 

to hauntings, such as the homes and workplaces

 of these intrepid paranormal enthusiasts. These orb manifestations 

have been just as eagerly documented and often generate

 a proliferation of initial excitement among

 the enthusiastic little groups involved – 

surely, they insist, this is only further proof of 

the existence of ghosts and the supernatural?

Though orbs can be acceptably defined there are

 different schools of thought on what these bizarre little globules 

actually are. Many, most especially detractors of the use of 

digital photography, believe the spheres of light 

to be merely the presence of debris –

 dust, pollen, water droplets - on the camera lens

 or at best the failure of the digital technology to maximize 

available light (flash or ambient) in particular

 situations resulting in gapping that appears suspiciously 

three dimensional in comparison 

to the remainder of the photograph. To this group, there is nothing 

whatsoever supernatural about the orb phenomena.

Another group, while remaining skeptical about the 

validity of orbs as actual manifestations of spirit energy, 

nonetheless adhere to

 the belief in at least the existence of the spirit 

world and in the ability of its denizens – usually operating under

 some strict law of natural physics – to manifest 

themselves in any number of forms, including orbs. 

This line of thought is usually further qualified with 

astute and informed scientific validations regarding

 the spirit use of nascent available energy sources 

– such as those emanating from batteries, power

 and utility lines, and people – to “get their energy”

 in order to appear in orb form. That the form would 

be globule or sphere-like in nature is also

 conjectured as the most “natural” form of manifestation available 

to the spirit entity.

Then there is, of course, the large mass of “believers” in the orb 
phenomenon as indisputable proof not only of the existence of ghosts 

and spirits, but also of their unfailing propensity to appear most often 

as little, supposedly innocuous balls of light. Sometimes the little spheres 

have faces – smiley faces, frowny faces, and even animal faces. That 

these enthusiastic orb supporters generally produce copious volumes

 of photographic “evidence” of sphere-like ghosts in action in reputedly 

haunted places, most often in cemeteries, only muddies the water for

 those who seek undisputable, scientifically verifiable proof of

 paranormal phenomena.

That said, however, it is when orbs are stripped of the science, the

 speculation, and the smiley faces, and when the possibility is

 acknowledged that at least SOME of the “orbs” captured are 

actual manifestations of spirit beings, that the phenomenon begins 

to take on validity and to speak to us with a cautious sensibility. Not

 all spheres recorded in photographs are orbs, and not all spirit 

manifestations occur as orbs. Nevertheless, orbs are very real.

You need to decide for yourself

ARE THEY REAL OR NOT?
