The Haunted Wedding Dress

Although most people associate hauntings with buildings spirits can also attach to objects. In past posts I wrote about: Haunted Mirrors, a Haunted Doll called Annabelle, a haunted portrait at Shirley Plantation and recently, The Scorched Bed.

In 1849, Anna Baker was the third child of a wealthy family who lived in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She had the misfortune to fall in love with a worker without means. Her father Elias Baker, who made his fortune as an ironmaster refused to give his consent for the two to marry. He then used his power and influence to have this man kicked out of Altoona.

Anna angry refused to marry anyone else. As the years passed she became a bitter old maid. When she died in 1914 she was still living in the family home.

Before her father’s refusal, in happier times Anna had picked out a beautiful wedding gown that she intended to wear at her wedding. Within the year another Altoona debutante, Elizabeth Dysart then bought this gown. She gloated for she knew Anna had hoped to wear it.

Years later this wedding dress was given to the Blair County Historical Society who eventually donated it to a local museum. This museum is housed in what was once the Baker home.

This wedding gown is displayed in a large glass case in a second floor room that once was the dressing room off Anna Baker’s bedroom.

Witnesses have seen this dress move of its own accord--especially during full moons.

This gown has been seen swaying from side to side. One witness stated it is as if a bride is holding this gown out in front of them as they admire it in a mirror.

The dress also has been seen shaking violently to the point where staff feared the glass case would shatter harming the dress.

Investigators have searched for a draft in this room or any other possible cause but nothing has been found to explain why this dress moves.

Some feel this dress moves because Anna Baker has just reclaimed what was supposed to be hers.

You always know the trail's there. Everyone does - but no one says it. You're embarrassed to believe it could be like a way out. You feel like the trail will understand you, and now, I think that's the worst part. That it does.

The Whaley House

The most famous of all haunted locations in San Diego, with its stories told in magazines, movies, and television shows.

Even before all the tragedy that befell them, the Whaleys told the local newspaper that they were experiencing a poltergeist that they believed was the ghost of James “Yankee Jim” Robinson, who was hanged on the property for stealing a boat years before the infamous home was built.

Not helping matters is the fact that the Whaley House was built upon an old cemetery. The Whaleys long maintained that they heard footsteps in the house, with passersby corroborating the Whaley’s claims by reporting apparitions in the home’s windows from the streets.

During the house’s later periods of restoration, workers and visitors claimed to hear strange, unexplained sounds, sights and even smells. Most felt a powerful presence whenever inside the residence.

This is believed by many to be the lingering ghost of Jim Robinson mentioned earlier. He would torment the living by leaving footprints, stomping on the floor, and making chilling noises throughout the abode.

Now with having my book published, and another on the way for late 2024, it's become important for me to have my own author website. I see the usefulness of it, being able to hand people business cards with QR codes that take them to the website instead of some social media they might not be signed up for or use. Here is where you'll find information on my books, the inspiration behind them, how to reach out for signed copies or to book me for educational or author events, my upcoming events, and more! I did create the site using Wix's editor, and when I can afford to I'll upgrade with my own domain name to remove the Wix ad bar at the top (it's expensive).

Dingess Tunnel

Hidden deep within the coal filled Appalachian Mountains of Southern West Virginia rests a forgotten land that is older than time itself. Its valleys are deep, its waters polluted and its terrain is as rough as the rugged men and women who have occupied these centuries old plats for thousands of years.

The region is known as “Bloody Mingo” and for decades the area has been regarded as one of the most murderous areas in all of American history.

The haunted mountains of this territory have been the stage of blood baths too numerous to number, including those of the famed Hatfield’s and McCoy’s, Matewan Massacre and the Battle of Blair Mountain. Even the county’s sheriff was murdered this past spring, while eating lunch in his vehicle.

Tucked away in a dark corner of this remote area is an even greater anomaly – a town, whose primary entrance is a deserted one lane train tunnel nearly 4/5 of a mile long.

The story of this town’s unique entrance dates back nearly a century and a half ago, back to an era when coal mining in West Virginia was first becoming profitable.

For generations, the people of what is now Mingo County, West Virginia, had lived quiet and peaceable lives, enjoying the fruits of the land, living secluded within the tall and unforgiving mountains surrounding them.

All of this changed, however, with the industrial revolution, as the demand for coal soared to record highs.

Soon outside capital began flowing into “Bloody Mingo” and within a decade railroads had linked the previously isolated communities of southern West Virginia to the outside world.

The most notorious of these new railways was Norfolk & Western’s line between Lenore and Wayne County – a railroad that split through the hazardous and lawless region known as “Twelve Pole Creek.”

At the heart of Twelve Pole Creek, railroad workers forged a 3,300 foot long railroad tunnel just south of the community of Dingess.

As new mines began to open, destitute families poured into Mingo County in search of labor in the coal mines. Among the population of workers were large numbers of both African-Americans and Chinese emigrants.

Despising outsiders, and particularly the thought of dark skinned people moving into what had long been viewed as a region exclusively all their own, residents of Dingess, West Virginia, are said to have hid along the hillsides just outside of the tunnel’s entrance, shooting any dark skinned travelers riding aboard the train.

Though no official numbers were ever kept, it has been estimated that hundreds of black and Chinese workers were killed at the entrance and exits of this tunnel.

Norfolk & Western soon afterward abandonment the Twelve Pole line. Within months two forces of workmen began removing the tracks, ties, and accessory facilities.

FEAR + DANGER

Is the paranormal dangerous? Over and over we hear allegedly true and creepy stories of violent hauntings, ghosts and poltergeists able to throw and scratch, and, in the worst case, demons able to cause demonic possession. But, is there any truth in these mysterious tales? And, if so, what does this mean for paranormal investigation? Join me, Laura Rowton, also known as the Paranormal Scholar, as I share some of my own paranormal stories and discuss the role of fear within the unexplained.

Huff-Lamberton Home

Once a family mansion, the property was converted into an orphanage in the 1960s.

Fright-seekers have reported sounds coming from the home, and it’s reported that toys from the orphanage are still stored in the attic.

Visitors can view the grounds from the outside, but it’s not open for tours.

Built in 1858, the Huff-Lamberton mansion was briefly owned by the Huff family and then sold to the Lambertons, who owned the estate for 90 years.

After the Lambertons sold the property, the mansion was converted into an orphanage and later an assisted living facility. It’s rumored that little girls’ voices can still be heard throughout the home’s walls and that the attic, which contains the orphans’ belongings, is explicitly off-limits to any visitors.

Today, the haunted historic home was recently sold, and the planned use for the residence will be to house older adults. While the property is not open for tours, you can marvel at the exterior architecture and grounds at any time.

Favorite CreepyPasta, haunted location, etc

Favorite creepypasta is about to sound so basic, but I got into creepypasta because of Slenderman initially. Back when I was younger and it was harder to tell what was & wasn’t fake on the internet. Jeff the killer stories, the rake. All of these could be real to my young impressionable mind. Slenderman definitely gave me the most paranoia of being watched at night though! Guess he’s my favorite! Very formative memory of thinking those artsy photo edits were real for a solid few hours and at least one night. 🖤

Ooooh that’s a tricky one..! Going to haunted places can be expensive and I’m cheap so I don’t get out much, but I got a sort of guardian spirit that follows me wherever I go so when I go to Finland I would certainly like to visit some allegedly haunted locations. The only threats in a haunted house I’m afraid of are potential human lurkers wanting to attack though, but I do currently live in America; so, that’s basically a constant fear. Guess I don’t have a favorite yet, I just kinda low key wouldn’t mind fighting off some occult messed up shit like I’m in an anime though I must admit. I fantasize about it at times. I could actually cryptid hunt so long as it’s a not fully material entity. If we get fully corporeal then I’m not sure how much of a shot at survival I have, but my sweet guardian Violet can bolster my body up pretty good and pack some heat. 💜

#I don’t know how much my body could withstand as far as physical encounters go but spiritual??? I’m packing hard #creepypasta #Slenderman #haunted locations #stick-zac #asks #ask #mine #OP

The most dangerous city in America

Gary, Indiana is home to over 13,000 abandoned buildings, and is known for being the birthplace of the famous pop singer Michael Jackson (who's home has definitely seen better days). Gary is deemed dangerous because of its high crime rate. In 1993, it became the murder capital of the United States of America after the population of over 100,000 saw a record of 110 deaths. The rate was three times that of Chicago. In 1995, Gary had a population of 115,269 and over 3,000 reported crimes. Even to this day, people still go to the abandoned town to commit murders, however, there is one active police station. Would you ever explore here?
