The Falcon Hotel (Stratford-upon-Avon) is haunted. It’s one of England’s most charming hotels, with 20 rooms in its haunted 16th-century wing, and 64 rooms in the more modern wing.
In June 2007, several Hollow Hill investigators spent the night in the haunted wing of the Falcon. It was comfortable and quiet, even though [...]

Sometimes, we want to say that there’s a normal explanation for a photo, but… we can’t find one.  Not one that works for the setting and the circumstances, that is.
That’s the case with this July 2005 photo at Brennan’s Restaurant on Royal Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
We’ve written about Brennan’s Red Room ghosts.  This [...]

[Part two of a true story that began at Portsmouth, NH - real ghosts, private home]
Often after this, I heard louder footsteps on the stairs to the second floor
and upstairs, usually at dusk and for about thirty seconds at a time. I ignored them.
Old houses make funny noises, I reminded myself.
It’s important to understand [...]

[click on either photo to see larger] These photos shows one of the tunnels beneath Bradford College, near Denworth Hall. It was not especially damp in this tunnel, and there were no shiny surfaces to reflect the flash. [...]

Bradford College, Bradford, Massachusetts – 11 March 2000
Pre-visit preparations
Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much at Bradford. Many ghost stories at colleges like Bradford have scant foundations, and are actually stories traded among students as a way of bonding, being part of the community, and other psychological benefits.
Samantha Farley, of Bradford College, has written an excellent [...]

Tupelo West, and the conclusion of the ghost hunt
At this point, I was on auto-pilot, but didn’t realize it. The encounter at Denworth Theatre had taken a lot out of me.
We entered Tupelo West, but it felt entirely clear of spectral energy. However, I was fairly [...]

On the path to Tupelo West, passing by Tupelo Pond
I was still nauseous as we walked through the rapidly-falling snowflakes towards Tupelo West.
Since I had not expected any serious manifestations, I had completely forgotten that the ghost hated to be talked about on campus. Jane, whom we met at Tupelo West, reminded me of [...]

Denworth Hall and Theatre
(Note: It took two tries to write this, the morning after our visit to Bradford. Somehow, my computer saved the later Tupelo Pond page over the Denworth page. This never, ever happens. I’m reluctant to assume that this bizarre error confirms that [...]

HAUNTED TUNNELS BENEATH BRADFORD COLLEGE
Our next stop was in the tunnels, which connect several of the main buildings. I think we
entered them from the Campus Center, but I don’t know the buildings, and I was still musing over the odd room we’d been in, on the Academy’s [...]

Bradford College, Bradford, Massachusetts – 11 March 2000
Academy Building – third and fourth floors
THIRD FLOOR
Our next stop was the conference room on the third floor. This is a large, open room with tables and chairs in the middle for meetings.
As soon as I entered, I could “see” a cluster of students towards the center [...]
