Northfield and Tilton, NH… in the rain

Aug 29th, 2009 | By Fiona Broome | Category: New Hampshire

In Ghost Hunting in Haunted Cemeteries, I mention one eerie cemetery in Northfield-Tilton, New Hampshire.  (The boundaries between Northfield and Tilton aren’t always clear.  I think this cemetery is in Northfield, but I could be wrong.)
Several graves in that cemetery indicate good activity.
Last night, we took photos of rain orbs for my upcoming book, Ghost [...]



Ghosts of Portsmouth, NH – South Street cemetery

Sep 15th, 2008 | By Fiona Broome | Category: NH Seacoast

Many ghost hunters know a few haunted locations that consistently provide ghostly phenomena.
One of the largest and most haunted cemeteries in Portsmouth, NH fits that description.
South Street cemetery isn’t the official name of the location, but it’s what most people call it.  This lovely, slightly eerie cemetery is at the intersection of South Street and [...]

Gilson Cemetery – June 2008

Jun 19th, 2008 | By Fiona Broome | Category: Nashua and vicinity

On June 12, 2008, we returned to Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. Except for a notable number of new houses and subdivisions in the area, little has changed… with one exception. The denser wooded area in back of the cemetery seems to provide the illusion of cover for the spirits who visit [...]

Late yesterday (12 June 2008), we returned to Gilson Road Cemetery in Nashua, NH. Our ghost hunting results were surprising. We’ll publish photos and more details, later, but here’s a summary of what we found:
We tried several kinds of dowsing rods to see what they indicated. The “hot spots” were somewhat predictable. [...]



Wentworth by the Sea – ghosts revisited

Apr 5th, 2008 | By Fiona Broome | Category: NH Seacoast

On the northeast side of Portsmouth, at New Castle, a grand Victorian hotel overlooks sailboats, fishing boats and yachts.
For generations, the Wentworth Hotel, also called Wentworth-by-the-Sea, was a summer destination for wealthy families.
Built in 1874, this hotel was synonymous with ‘opulence’ through the 1960s. However, times changed and — by the late 1970s — [...]

[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

(Continued from Portsmouth – real ghosts, private home, part two)
A TRUE GHOST STORY – PART THREE
There were a few more incidents of things casually flying through the kitchen. The faucets turned themselves on more frequently, and with more force. Other odd little things happened, but nothing particularly destructive or frightening. In [...]
