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 [...]

Hauntings — or reports of them — have increased at colleges and universities in recent years.
Apparitions, “cold spots” and poltergeists are becoming almost commonplace at many schools.
There are many possible reasons why we’re hearing more — and more credible — reports from colleges and universities.
A FEW REASONS
The media have increased our awareness of the spirit [...]

Ghosts are almost “normal” in many eastern seaboard states.
The entire northeastern United States is profoundly haunted. This may be due to its history. The more dramatic an area’s history, the more opportunities for ghosts and ghost stories.
In addition, some people speculate that the area’s huge quartz deposits act as ‘magnets’ for [...]

Ghosts are seen and heard at the Texas Governor’s Mansion. That’s not news. However, our deliberately blurred photo of the Mansion reveals some very interesting, possibly paranormal images.
