The area named Witches Hollow is said to be a paranormal hot spot. It was named after an alleged witch who is believed to have practiced black magic here and also murdered her husband. Witnesses have reported a variety of paranormal activity, including seeing the apparition of the witch walking down the dirt road off of Sandtown Road. To access this road, drive past Thunder Hill Lane then follow the dirt road to the right.
There are several myths surrounding Cadillac Ranch, near Amarillo off of Route 66, and how it came to be. Some say an eccentric millionaire would bury his old Cadillacs each time he bought a new one. Others believe it was just a giant artistic endeavor. But, one thing most agree on is, the ranch has an abundance of paranormal activity. People have seen the tail lights on the cars light up and wheels start spinning on their own. A strange metal on metal sound emanating from the cars is often heard.
The Old York Cemetery is home to Mary Nasson. Mary was accused of being a witch and was executed in 1774. Her grave is known in local folklore as the ''witches grave.'' Over her grave site lies a heavy stone slab which is said to have been placed there to prevent her from escaping her grave. Visitors claim the stone slab is always warm to the touch. Mary's apparition is often seen around children, pushing them on swings or bringing them flowers.
The historic Inn called The Old Stagecoach Inn is thought to be haunted by many spirits including its former resident. His apparition, among others, is seen roaming the halls and rooms. Housekeepers report strange paranormal activity such as the beds being stripped down when they turn their backs. Other paranormal witnesses say the furniture moves by itself. Room number 2 is said to be the most haunted room of the Inn.
Oregon Caves Chateau is a rustic hotel which was built in 1934 with a creek below that actually flows through the building. Supposedly, in the 1930's, a woman had an argument with her cheating husband and he pushed her out of the window to her death. It's believed that her ghost haunts the building and her room, number 310. Visitors report paranormal disembodied cries and moans as well as dresser drawers opening and closing by themselves. Employees working in the kitchen have had objects fall onto their heads, especially when speaking about the haunting. Other paranormal occurrences are of footsteps and stomping coming from empty rooms and, of course, the infamous room 310.
Pennsylvania has many haunted locations but the Van Sant Covered Bridge (AKA Beaver Dam Bridge) is thought to be the most haunted with a myriad of paranormal activity. The ''Crybaby Bridge'', as some call it, sits within the back roads of Bucks County. People use that nickname because of a legend about a woman that threw her crying baby over the side of the bridge. Other urban legends claim she drowned the baby and that a man murdered a woman and her crying baby at the location. In any case, disembodied cries and screams are heard as you drive through. Apparitions are witnessed including one hanging from a noose.
