<title>The Best Places to Visit Ghosts in Chicago</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/USA-&amp;-Canada/Illinois/The-Best-Places-to-Visit-Ghosts-in-Chicago.117595</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Here are three of the Chicago's most famous haunts.</p>
 
<h3>The Chicago Water Tower</h3>
<p>806 North Michigan Ave, Chicago -   See a ghost and then do some shopping on one of the best streets in the world to shop!  Historically the Water Tower is the only building to survive the Chicago Fire, it is said to be haunted by a man who chose to hang himself rather than be consumed by the flames.  Many tourists have reported seeing a man hanging in the Tower's top window.  When you visit the Tower today, make sure you take the tour it very interesting and you really get a feel for the building.</p>
 
<h3>Bachelor's Grove Cemetery</h3>
<p>143rd Street, Midlothian - Although, this haunted place is not truly located in Chicago; it was a popular and unofficial burial site of many Chicago gangsters in the 1920's and 1930's.  Rumors also include satanic cults using this cemetery for rituals and animal sacrifices in the 1970's.  Due to the various happening at this cemetery, it is considered one of Chicago's most haunted places.  Multiple white lights have been seen floating over this area at night.  Due to its location, however, this writer does not recommend visiting this place at night.  For more information on Bachelor's Grove and its history visit <a href="http://www.bachelorsgrove.com/" target="_blank">Bachelors Grove.</a></p>
 
<h3>Resurrection Mary</h3>
<p>Resurrection Cemetery 7200 South Archer Ave, Justice - Resurrection Mary is the most famous ghost in the Chicago area and the most seen.  Many Chicagoans, including this author, has seen a girl fitting Mary's description walking along the cemetery road.</p>
 
<p>According to legend, Mary had gone to a dance, where she decided to leave early without her date.  Since she lived in the area, Mary chose to walk home.  While she was walking, Mary was hit by a car and left to die on the side of the road.   Soon after her burial people began to see a young woman walking along Archer Avenue and hitching rides, when a Good Samaritan driver would pick up this young woman, she would request that they stop in front of the cemetery where she would promptly disappear.</p>
 
<p>Though ghost hunting is not for everyone the next time you are in the area you may want to stop by and pay your respects to some of the city's most famous hunted places.  Who knows you may even see a ghost for yourself!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FIllinois%2FThe-Best-Places-to-Visit-Ghosts-in-Chicago.117595"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FIllinois%2FThe-Best-Places-to-Visit-Ghosts-in-Chicago.117595" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>A Haunting Island: Big Island Hawaii</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/USA-&amp;-Canada/Hawaii/A-Haunting-Island-Big-Island-Hawaii.85863</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Many will say there is no such thing as ghosts. But they are wrong! Those who say there is no such thing as the paranormal should come out to the Big Island and see for themselves the mysterious black dog of Konaweana.</p>
 
<p>Konaweana like most schools here in Hawaii has an elementary, middle, and high school all on the same grounds. Of course the different levels of education are split up by street. But unlike most schools, Konaweana once stood as a Covent. Oh the Convent is still around, as a matter of fact so is the graveyard.</p>
 
<p>On your way to the district of Ka'u, you will pass by many homes and commercial structures. You will also pass by many graveyards. The school itself now sits on the site where the first missionaries to Hawaii built their church and set up the graveyard. The church and graves were moved closer to the main road. When turning at the light to go up the hill, it seems like you would be driving into a tree line, but then just around the bend the school is seen.  The Convent moved to the right of the campus, and has a huge stone wall to keep people out. A banyan tree grows tall behind the chain linked fence. And although it all seems like an old urban ledge, mark my words, the place is haunted.</p>
 
<p>After school some say even the ghosts have paper work to do. The secretary often finds the fax machine running with out anything to fax. Or the flag being raised, but the flag is sitting on her desk. There is also the case of the black dog.</p>
 
<p>Any big home game this mysterious black mutt of a dog finds its way into the gym. The coach has had many episodes where he had locked the dog inside the gym, when he starts to unlock the door the dog bolts into the basketball court, or locker room. When the coach leaves the dog in the gym, it's said that The Wild Cats win games.</p>
 
<p>But don't ask the little girl in the bathroom at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the high school what she thinks. She never speaks. You can see her as clear as day, looking into the mirror, but when she turns around to look at you, she's gone.</p>
 
<p>Or you might be the brave soul to spend some time at Hapuna. Although it does have police that patrol the road, even they have seen some things not natural surfacing in the lapping waves of this crystal prestine beach. Maybe a ghostly encounter while shore line fishing. My husband went to the cliffs by Hapuna one night. He came back shortly after he had left. (About 2 hours) When he came home he told me of the people splashing in the water. They swam over to where he had thrown his line. He told me how they jerked at his line until it came out of his hands. When he went down the cliff to find his rod, it was broken into three pieces, and there was no sign of anyone being down there.</p>
 
<p>Spend the night at the Outrigger Hotel in Kona and hear the howls of a fallen British Captain's dogs. The beach was once the scene of a great battle between the Hawaiian people and the English soildgers. The Hawaiians captured and killed 153 British men including the Captian. The dogs were his loyal companions went every where with him, except the grave. They died from starvation. Many guest's complain about the shore side rooms. The wind you may think, but not to those who know the bloody history.</p>
 
<p>Although some may say that ghosts don't exist, but I say they do. And if you have the guts to find out, I have a couch with your name on it. But don't ask me to go.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FHawaii%2FA-Haunting-Island-Big-Island-Hawaii.85863"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FHawaii%2FA-Haunting-Island-Big-Island-Hawaii.85863" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
