Was the Legendary 'Lady in Red' photographed at a Haunted Hotel in Vancouver ? (video)

The Lady in Red is one of Vancouver’s most famous ghosts. According to legend, she haunts the historic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver at 900 West Georgia St., built in 1939, walking the top floors in her elegant red gown, occasionally stopping at the window to stare wistfully out at the city.

Several people claim to have seen the apparition. According to Ghosts of Vancouver, a website that catalogues Metro Vancouver’s spookiest tales, “once, a Japanese family that checked into a room on the 14th floor called the front desk to ask whether their room had been double-booked. They described seeing the Lady in Red in the room, which had caused their confusion.”

Now a local elevator mechanic claims to have taken her picture. Vancouver’s Scott Graham says he was working on a top floor at the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia, just around the corner from the Fairmont, when he decided to take a cellphone photo of the historic hotel, where he also does work

Man claims to have videotaped a "Black Eyed Kid", and it's kinda creepy (video)

The US-based man, who blurs his identity in investigative videos he uploads to the Fantastic Daily YouTube channel, claims to have caught a so-called "Black Eyed Kid" on video in his own home after setting a trap to lure them to his remote property.

Black Eyed Kids have been an urban legend, mainly in the US, since the 1990s.

They are said to resemble pale-skinned children with jet black eyes, that have been accused of carrying out abductions.

Paranormal researchers speculate they are ghosts, evil spirits, or even aliens or vampires.

The investigator says in a promotional blurb for the video: "Over an hour of BEK activity captured on video!

"You’ve heard the stories, I found proof. I’m in touch with other paranormal researchers, and together we’ve been mapping data from black eyed kid encounters.

"For a long time now I’ve believed that they must have a language all their own.

"I was finally able to isolate a low-frequency signal that appeared in the background of tonnes of my evidence.

"I played the frequency every night for a week, eventually succeeding in my efforts to lure a black eyed kid into my camera trap."

10 legendary ghost tales of Disneyland hauntings

The number of internet sites devoted to the ghosts of Disneyland is downright scary.
From ghostsnghouls.com to hauntedhoneymoon.com to theghostdiaries.com (and many others), there are enough creepy Disneyland stories to fill the Haunted Mansion.

I recently interviewed a cast member who works inside the Haunted Mansion. She talked about the belief, among Disney employees, that the place is inhabited by more than the Disney-created 999 haunts.

She said female employees talk about ghosts that untie the ribbons in the cast members’ hair. She said props move from one side of a room to the other. She said there are behind-the-scenes rooms in the Haunted Mansion that are so creepy employees avoid going inside.

Did you hear the one about the one-way rider on Space Mountain? How about Walt Disney’s ghost on Main Street? Or about the grad night ghost on the Monorail?
Check out the Haunted Disney legends:

Legend 1: Walt Disney haunts Disneyland – Everyone knows that Walt had an apartment over the Fire Station on Main Street, right? And that the light in the window is never turned off – a tribute to Walt, who died in 1966, right? But did you hear this one: Before the tradition of leaving the light on began, a cast member turned off the light and left the room only to find the light turned on again when she returned. The story goes that she heard a voice that said, “I am still here.”

Legend 2: Space Mountain’s Mr. One Way – He’s described as a large man with red hair and a red face. The legend is that he sits in the seat next to single riders. Then he disappears by the end of the ride. He has also been spotted in the cast member locker room.

Legend 3: Monorail runner -- In June of 1966, a teenager tried to sneak into Disneyland for grad night by climbing a fence and crossing the Monorail track. When he was spotted by a security guard, the teenager ran. But he was struck and killed by the Monorail train. It is said that the ghost of the teenager can be seen at night running alongside the Monorail train.

The Spooky Sleepy Hollow Road of Kentucky (video)

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The world may know Kentuckiana for its rolling green horse pastures and world renowned bourbon, but for those who know where to look can get their fill of ghost stories and haunted places. There are a few stories and urban legends attached to our last area.

“Most of the myths in the Kentuckiana area have one story," explains Rod Whitenack, senior editor for louisvillehalloween.com. "There might be variations of the story but this one has four completely different stories.”

Sleepy Hollow Road is located near the eastern edge of the boarder of Jefferson and Oldham counties in Kentucky. Whitenack laughs as he thinks about the name of the road.

“I think anytime you name a road after a Washington Irving story that's a classic ghost story there's gonna be stories that crop up about the place,” said Whitenack.

There are no stories of the headless horseman on this foreboding road but the tale is just as chilling. Whitenack gives a vivid description.

“It's a stretch of road that has trees on both sides," said Whitenack. "It's kind of uncomfortable. It makes it feel like they're encroaching on your car.”

It is winding two lane blacktop road with a tree line that becomes a menacing canopy in many places.

“If the full moon is out there's shadows cast across the road. It's a very uncomfortable place,” Whitenack goes on to explain.

The Legend of Sybil's Cave, Hoboken, NJ.

I visited this location today and took some photos (below), and it is open to the public. I threw in a coin, but I haven't checked my lottery ticket. So I'll keep you posted on that. hahaaaa.

It was a hot, steamy summer afternoon on July 28, 1841 when James Boulard and Henry Mallin sighted what appeared to be a body floating in the water of the Hudson River near the shore of Hoboken, New Jersey. The two men, who had been trying to relax at a quiet retreat called Sybil's Cave located across the river from the heat and crowding of New York City, raced to a nearby dock and borrowed a boat to retrieve the floating object. They returned to the shore with the body of a woman, later identified as Mary Cecilia Rogers, missing from her New York City home since Sunday, July 25, 1841. This discovery brought national attention to an already locally famous sight.

THE LEGEND OF SYBIL'S CAVE

Most people growing up in Hoboken 30 or 40 years ago were very familiar with the legend of Sybil's Cave. Local legend held that it was a natural deep cave with a spring located somewhere along the Hudson River.

However, current residents and visitors may be surprised to learn of the existence of this legend. The River Walk", served as a respite to the pressures and crowds of the city by providing a country like atmosphere for many residents, especially those who had recently migrated to the city from rural areas. This urban growth was the trend in those days prior to the Civil War, when cities were expanding at the expense of rural populations and traditions. Ferries and private boats brought New York City residents across the Hudson River. This was the origin of the shipping trade, which later immortalized Hoboken.
