A Haunting in Oklahome

I guess that Oklahoma is famous for more than just the musical of the same name. Apparently there are some decent hauntings an adventurous ghost hunter might want to check out. This one involves the Labadie Mansion in Barlesville.

The Labadie Mansion is a1 9Th century Victorian mansion that has caused more than a few people to do an extra load of laundry if you get my meaning! The mansion is set back away from the road, so I hear it's for those hunters who are in pretty good shape because there's some hiking through quite a bit of woods which obscure the mansion from anyone travelling along the road.

According to legend there are four people who have died at Labadie Mansion and the house has had two damaging fires. The only parts remaining are a fireplace, some burnt out walls and some parts of the foundation but apparently that's enough to keep the paranormal activity at peak levels.

So, let's get to the good stuff. Most likely is that what ever light source you used to guide you through the woods to get you through the woods will stop working. You will hear disembodied voices shouting at year, smell noxious odors, and see animals that weren't there moments ago, now only a few yards in front of you.

When you've had enough of those and decide to take your leave, you may notice the one fireplace that is left suddenly blaze to life on its own.

So, these are the alleged happenings. Some sound possible, some sounds impossible. If any of you live in Oklahoma, we'd appreciate some light shed on this subject.

These photos show the ruins of the mansions. It must have been beautiful in its day.

Witchcraft Memorial

Witchcraft Victim's Memorial
176 Hobart Street
Danvers, Massachusetts

On May 9, 1992, the Salem Village Witchcraft Victims' Memorial of Danvers was dedicated before an audience of over 3,000 people. On the front of the memorial, it reads "In Memory of Those Innocents Who Died During the Salem Village Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692". This site is located right across the street from the original Salem Village Meeting House, where many of the witch examinations took place. Near the memorial is a plaque in honor of the former meeting house.

The Dover Demon

In Dover Massachusetts there is said to be a creature with a large oblong head and orange eyes that glow in the dark. This creature is said to be hairless and have long twig-like arms with slender claw-like fingers that it uses to grip the pavement as it runs.

This creature is the Dover Demon and it has no nose nor mouth. Some theorize that the Demon is an alien left behind such as ET was or perhaps a human-alien hybrid, but no-one knows for sure since he is such an elusive creature. Although there has been a few sightings throughout the years, most people don't believe in the demon at all.

In his book Monster Hunt, The Guide To Cryptozoology, Rory Storm writes, "For centuries the Cree Indians have talked about a race of creatures called Mannegishi that live in or near the water. They are said to often climb on rocks and ledges and like to tip over boats, drowning the occupants. They describe the Mannegishi as semi-humanoid with very thin and lanky arms and legs and big heads minus a nose and mouth."

Could this be the Dover Demon?
