Poltergeist Reboot Director claims film location is haunted

The director of the upcoming Poltergeist reboot is keeping the infamous 'Poltergeist curse' alive and well.

Director Gil Kenan said he and his crew experienced strange phenomena during shooting.

"The location for the house, during shooting, I chose because it had a strange and unnecessary field that the houses of this particular community were built around", wrote Kenan. "And we found - throughout production - that we had persistent and repeatable equipment field only on that strange plot of land.

"For instance, lights that could turn on anywhere else in the neighborhood would blow out the second you'd try to light them on this plot."

Kenan confessed to being too afraid to find out what the land used to be, but revealed that they           filmed outside of Toronto.

"Somewhere between Buffalo New York and Toronto, Ontario, in a town called Hamilton".

Far more disturbingly, Kenan believes (or at least pretends to believe) that he and his crew were haunted by a ghost in the house they rented for shooting.

"The house that I rented during filming was straight-up legit haunted by a female spirit dressed in black.

"And I became aware of her within the first few days of staying in the house. And only after I left did I
receive a call from the previous owner, who had moved back in, who was terrified by the goings on in the house, and wanted to see if I had experienced any of it. So it was an incredible real-life inspiration for filming that followed me home.

"Well, I mean, she definitely was there. It didn't follow me back to Los Angeles, but it followed me from set back to where I was sleeping during filming."

Haunted Ohio law office was once a funeral home. (news video)

HAMILTON, Ohio —A paranormal investigation is under way at a Hamilton law firm, which once served as a funeral home and now might be haunted.

When attorneys with McKenzie and Snyder moved in to the Dayton Street building, which sits next door to a former convent, they said weird things began happening as they renovated the space. "Little things happen, phones would call each other," said Kristen McKenzie, office manager. "Lights would go out in our computer room, the front door would open by itself." 

The Tri-Ops Paranormal Society conducted an investigation over the weekend, and they said they know why employees were spooked.

 "I've been doing this for a long time and never seen a K2 meter go up that high," one investigator said on a video made by the group.

 Members said their divining rods kept aiming in the same direction, and the paranormal investigators said they made contact with the spirit of a young girl.
