The ghostly scoop

Right on cue

2006-07-03T04:41:00.000-04:00

Sorry I havenÂt been on as of late, due to illness and a issue or two. In fact its been so long I had forgotten my password. In short, itÂs a bitch getting older. I have a few new stories to tell. A month or two ago a friend of mine called me up and said he needed to talk. So I told him to come on out and we would talk things over. He showed up about dark and we stood outside and talked for hours. So about 11:00 PM he said it was getting late so had better get going and then we heard some coyotes howling off in the distance. He was like Â What the hell was that?Â, so I told him what it was, and that I hear it all the time. I could see he was unnerved and it was messing with him. He said ÂMan thatÂs spookyÂ . I said ÂMan you want GuessyÂ.guess whatÂ thereÂs ghosts out hereÂ I was hesitant to tell him about the ones in my home that seem to follow me around no matter where I move to ( hell if they are going to be around they may as well have names ) but I spilled the beans. After all he knew for years I was into this stuff and went on ghost hunts. He went on a few ghost hunts years ago with us back in the 90Âs but never got so lucky or unlucky to see one. So I think I may have neglected in telling him a few live with me (after all some people might think youÂre off your rockerÂand others get a free trip to the loony bin for that kind of shit ) whoops my bad. I could almost read his mind , I said Â no, really dude its no lie, it is haunted out here Â. But thatÂs another story for another time. About the time we started talking about ghosts it was like a cue for something unexplained to happen. I kept seeing what I thought was a light across the road from where I live. He ask what I was looking at and I told him that I had seen a light. And he ask if it was a house light and I said no it canÂt be, itÂs a steep ravine over there, and that its not in that direction anyways. Not to mention , it was almost tree top level. After a few minutes I heard him say he was seeing a red light off to our left of us. I didnÂt see the light he was talking about. Then he ask if it was some kind of tower over that way. I told him it canÂt be because thereÂs a big hill over that way, and I know for a fact thereÂs no tower on that hill in that direction. I knew he had his camera with him so I told him to take a picture, one with the flash and one without the flash, and that I would take one with the flash and one without the flash also. What ever he saw, it must have really messed with him, because after he left about ten minutes later he was at my door telling me that he drove around the ridge trying to find anything over that way that would explain what he had seen. Well, he never saw anything that would explain what he had seen. So later that night I got a email from him of some pictures he had taken that night. The first is one he had taken at my place and the second is one he took in downtown Zanesville, Ohio. And the third is a crop of the second picture.
I want to thank my friend for the pictures,and Davey and I understand why people want to stay anonymous. And would never use anything with out someones permission first.

Some how the pictures didnt load like I wanted. The top to is downtown Zanesville.

Thanks Roger

Hi there we just wanted to post this up on here from an investigation me and roger just done at beech grove.We went down on the 30th of june and we weren't expecting to catch anything.But to our surprise we did.Me and roger both caught apperations on our cameras and we both were floored when we went over them.We areed to not post them at this time cause we are affraid people will copy them and these pictures are our best yet.We also heard that forgotten ohio was going to investigate this place and try to catch the same thing as we did.So guys we beat you to it and we are going back down on the 3rd or the 4th.We never knew this place was active until we took those pictures while we were there.After reading about on here we decided to head back but this time we will be better prepared.We didn't take all of our euipment with us but this time we will.But so far we hit the jackpot here,so please check back in a couple of days for futher updates as we post them up.We took another trip back on the 7/3/06 and to debunk some pictures that we caught.So we were able to debunk one and the picture of the apperation we couldn't debunk it we tried everyway possible and couldn't find no explantions for it.So while we are doing this we are taking more pictures and i took a picture of the west part of the isle and there it was again next to another stone he had a cut off blue work shirt with either a name tag on it or one of those pocket protecters and you can clearly see that he's white man and he looks to have been cut at one time because his arms look big.On the picture roger took not only was he there by the stone but right above him a perfectly light blue colored sphere comming out of the stone nothing was there to reflect anything and with our luck when we went back yesterday we got him again but without the sphere with the same cut arm and the same blue shirt that the first one had same man,but the first one we got the left arm and the second one we got the right arm so we got our man.And a possible name still under review.And we also had some strange audio as well as a evp caught on video of a mans scream so we did really good and we are going back down for a third investigation and see what happens.Good job roger we were awesome dude we are close to nailing this ghost.

The bagely House..

2006-06-15T21:38:00.000-04:00

Hi there here are some recent pictures me and my guys caught last friday night during an investigation at the old bagely house.The one picture of the bright orb was taken at 9:45pm in the attic of the house.Right after that picture was taken we caught a mist moving too our left 60 seconds after the picture was taken.The second picture was taken in the basement of the house at 8:37pm and everybody might think it's a cob web or a hose ar even a twig or strain of hair or even a camera strap.it's none of the above.My cameras dosen't have straps and there wasn't no hoses or wires hanging down or twigs.We tried too debink this picture and we can't it is what it is too us.It looks like a streak of energy flying right by me while this was taken.2 minutes after this was taken one of our team members was touched and 5 minutes after he was touched i was shoved by a force that wasn't there.Again we tried too debunk that but we couldn't find any thing in that room that could've done that other than a ghost.We are still investigating this place and we are close too finding out whats going on there.I hope when roger gets too feeling better he can join me once again in the field so we have many more cases lined up and i'm doing 3 houses next weekend and in july i'm investigating a bar here in zanesville as well.So please stop back for updates as well put them up...Thanks David..

The Trinway Mansion

2005-12-14T23:01:00.000-05:00

This was back in 1986, a few friends and I were out driving one night. We had decided to take a trip to the trinway Mansion (Prospect Place).This was to be one strange night. It was foggy that night which makes for a really awesome ghost hunt. We was headed north on State Route 60 just about to Vista View area, when we passed a car that looked a lot like the car we was in. I know it sounds odd for me to say that but the car we was in was a 1970 Nova SS,white with two black racing stripes down the middle of the car,hood scoop,jacked up,and mags,the whole nine yards. Maybe it's me,but it was as if we had just passed ourselves. It sure spooked us and as I said the fog just made it all the more eerie. When we get there we could hardly see a thing, so we get out of the car. And after a few minutes of discussion we start off for the tramway House. I remember someone saying,"hope we don't get lost."Just about that time I heard a dog barking. I stopped right in my tracks and said I was headed for the car I wasn't feeling like the John Wayne type that night. It wasn't 5 or 10 minutes I here them calling out to me, so I yell back to help them find the car it had gotten that foggy out. I doubt we had the right place to begin with. So we decide to come back when the weather is better. It was a few days later when we went back this time it was my two friends and my sister and her friend was tagging along. This should be fun I thought we would scare the shit out of them. After all the tramway Place could be one of those places that you here a lot about and find out later that there is not a bit of truth in the story. Anyways,this trip we would make in daylight so we could get a feel for the place. We pull right up to the place. And start looking around out side first, and then we head into the house. We never seen anything strange about the place we couldn't get to the up stairs to the second story so we head to the basement. It was while we was in the basement when we heard some one walking around upstairs so we go back up to look around to see if some one was there and that we just never seen them. Still nothing, then we heard it again someone walking around in the upstairs. We looked at each other and ask how can that be there was no stairs to even get up there. Then we head for the door not knowing what to expect next. At the time I wasn't into ghost hunting like I am today. At the time I couldn't accept what I had seen, like I do today. There must be something there at the tramway Mansion (Prospect Place).I here you can pay to spend the night there. I have seen the article in the Times Recorder where they did a story on the place back when Longaberger had bought the place. And in the picture that was in the newspaper was a small child that no one can explain in the picture of a small child that had fallen to her death from the second story to its death. So if anyone is doing a story or just wanting more info on the trinway place look in the Zanesville Times Recorder. There is also some good info at the John McIntire Library. I have talked to a lot of people over the years that has been in the place and everyone has told me they have heard or seen something there at on time or another. I know what we heard that day so maney years back for us it was real.

thanks for the award it means so much..

Sorry To The Fans...

2005-10-24T16:11:00.000-04:00

Hi there i just wanted to say sorry to the fans of the site.The other day me and a few other people got into a big debate on pictures and i got out of line on it.In the paranormal field there's gonna be debates on such things as pictures,evps,video,etc,and like i said i got out of line on it.Me and roger talked about it and we smoothed things over between us and everything is where it should be now.And i wanna say i'm sorry to the other person as well because i targeted them and it got way out of hand.My wife talked to me about it and she made things more clear on the subject.Roger is my uncle and also is my best friend as well and we all say things we don't mean at the time until later on when we sit back and look at it it's really stupid that we all have to fight over something minor.Roger is a hell of a investigator and i'm glad he's in the group and like i said i hated how things ended up and i want to say sorry to everybody i might have offended on this matter.I'll admit i let my anger and actions get the best of me, and i try not to let it get me but this time it did.We've been doing this for a long time now and we make a awesome team and i wanna keep it that way, so with that been said, roger your my best friend and i wouldn't change it for anything, you know that, sorry dude, and sorry to the other people to.The paranormal field is all i have and i don't want to lose it like i did everything else, it means to much to me.So no hard feelings towards anybody and i wanna put this behind me and keep busting these ghost..I hope this story help's explain everything in a more logical manner..Thanks and have a nice day to everyone out there....In deep sorry, David Lane.

Watertown,Ohio

2005-10-23T19:50:00.000-04:00

I want to post some pictures I took in Watertown, Ohio about a month ago. We was down there looking up our family tree. And we was looking for our grandpas grave. As usual when I take pictures I get a feeling like something saying “hey over here” and snap the picture. I was using my sisters digital camera at the time. And at this point she’s wondering why I’m so camera happy. So I tell her and now I cant seem to get more then ten feet away from her. I hope you like the pictures. So I also must thank http://walkingwiththespirits.blogspot.com and the help in pointing out the one in the tree. I was to busy on what looks like some one at one of the graves. This was the first picture I took there just after we pulled up to the place and I got out of the car. We was the only ones there at the time.

Happy Halloween

2005-10-23T17:29:00.000-04:00

Hello all looks like I been slacking on the blog site. So in light of the season looks like a good time to discuss the topic of ghosts. When it comes to a haunting, or a ghost we really don’t need to look to far sometimes in our own homes or down the block. Maybe just next door for something to go bump in the night. Or the sighting of a life time that would make you jump right out of your skin, or better yet go change your underwear .There seems to be many types of ghosts and many ways they seem to haunt . I myself can say now I have seen them all in light of recent events. They are real and seems like no one can seem to agree what they are and if they really exists or not. Guess most don’t believe just for the fact they never seen one. Are they just simply lost souls who never went to the light?, or maybe they cant go on because they seem to be holding on to something? I myself think this is why, I know what its like to put sweat , blood, and tears into something and see it gone before your very eyes. So yes they may well feel the same way. Or could it be that they are looking for a loved one and cant go on with out them? What ever it is one thing is for sure they are real. People from all over the world has seen them, some seem so real you would never know them as a ghost. So the next time your walking down the street just think to yourself is there a haunting in that house.

Sorry about the site...

The Philo Bridge May Be A Hoax

2005-10-03T17:02:00.000-04:00

> I wanted to post this story up about the philo bridge being haunted.A few months ago me and roger decided to go to this place and see for our selves.After arriving there we decided to take some pictures of the bridge.Storys have been told about the bridge being haunted and people reported hearing little childrens crys and supposed apparitions.While we were there we took some pictures and walked about to get a feel for this spot and with us ussually after 15 minutes we can pick up a good vibe and go with that.But we didn't get that vibe while we were there, and the investigation was hard to do because of the traffic and loud noises.So i couldn't do any evp's or any other audio because of the noise.It is a very busy bridge and therefore really tough to do.So it really dosen't matter what time of day you go there is going to be some noise while your there.After reviewing the pictures we took we couldn't find anything that stood out to us.But we are still going over all our pictures for a 3rd or fourth look.So the 2 i posted with this story is just shots of the bridge we took while taking a break,so maybe you have been across this bridge before,but i wouldn't place any faith in this bridge being haunted so until we see some really good evidence otherwise this place is a dud.As far as the little kids voices these people claim to here,could be from the neighborhood up the street from the bridge.So always pay attention to your surroundings cause later on they could be mistaken as a evp and it really wasn't just kids playing outside their house.So with that said we declare this investigation a dud.So if there is anybody out there who has a story about this place, or any pictures they may have caught please send them to us and we'll post them up for you...Enjoy....Thanks..

My Very First Encounter

2005-10-02T00:35:00.000-04:00

I have many stories to tell. Makes me think sometimes why I have seen so much in my life. I intended to do them in order as they happend in my life, so I'll start all over on yahoo and try to fill in a few blanks. So here goes, this was back in the early 80's when a friend of mine told me that there was a old civil war picture of a drummerboy that would show up on his living room wall every night. He knew I was into history and thought I would like, find it interesting. Which I did, so I just had to take a look. So a friend and I showed up later that day just before dark to see this civil war drummerboy appear on the wall. When we arived at his house he showed us where it would appear on the wall every night. So we sat in his living room playing atari ( give you flash backs anyone lol ) games till it was almost dark. And just like my friend said there it was on the wall over the fire place just like he said it was. His parents had a tapestry of dogs playing poker hanging there over the fire place but there did seem do be a picture of a drummerboy there. So I moved the tapestry to see if it was behind it, and still on the wall. And to my suprise it was still there. But I noticed something strange, there was a shadow from the tapestry as I moved it back and forth. So we talked about it a few and that's when I started to look around the living room. I did think it odd that when a shadow passed in front of it, it would disappear and no longer be there. So after looking around we decided that it had to be coming from a light source somewhere. And that it was not what it seemed to be. We looked and looked and still could not find out anything, and then I noticed a small window above the door way. And after waving my hand in front of the window it seemed that we had found the light source. We looked outside and came to the conclusion that the street light was coming through the window and shining on the wall. This was a old home in the Putnum area of Zanesville Ohio, and like old homes some of the glass is original, and with old glass its wavy and uneven and sometimes has bubbles in it. So if you had an imagination and really looked, it did in fact seem like a picture of a civil war drummerboy and it would make a great story, after all there are homes in that area that was homes where the underground railroad went through Zanesville. But this was not the case it turned out to be nothing more then light and glass making it look that way. Now I guess I can say this is where it all started with my paranormal encounters for the rest of my life. As my friend and I were walking home we had decided to take a short cut through the woods. Isaw what appeared to be a white face floating in the woods just in front of us. I remeber asking my friend if he saw it to and he said that he saw it also. Well naturally, it scared the hell out of us after all we were teenagers and neither on of us had ever seen anything like that before. And we decided to take the long way home. I have gave it much thought over the many years, and often try to think when and where did it all start. I have come to the conclusion that it must have started that night so many years ago as a teenager when all I really wanted to see was this civil war picture I was told about.Did I open my mind up to a world some say don't exist?Or is it something else? If I did open my mind up, could that be why I saw the face in the woods that night. Could it be now that my mind was finally open, someone was trying to tell me some thing? Or is it just something I was born with and it took that one night so long ago to trigger it?Could it be our minds playing tricks on us, if thats the case both of us seen the face that night. And after witnessing so much over the years, it was in fact what we had seen, a face in the woods.

Orbs What Are They

2005-10-01T23:15:00.000-04:00

I was e-mailed this picture and was asked to take a look at it. I was ask not to give the ladies name and location out. Orb's some say, isn't a ghost of any kind and is nothing more than energy. This may or may not be true. To me it still counts as the paranormal. And therefore should not be taken lightly. And others say its dust on the lense ...lets think about dust for a minute if that's the case, why do only a few pictures or picture have it and not the others. Let's say on a roll of 24 pictures for instance, you take all 24 and on picture 13 and 14 you have what looks like Orb's...now 1 through 12 and15 through24 has nothing. Now if it was just dust on the lense, why only on 13 and 14 and not the others. So let me get this right, it was only on the lense for two pictures and did one of two things simply just fell off or flew away. Sounds good I guess but I don't buy it. First off, you should always clean your lense before any investigations. I will post more on this subject at a later date. Now for this picture I was sent, I count 11 Orb's or there are two for sure I think. The one at the top of the upper right of the pic, and the small one just above the girls left arm. I have looked at the pic and went over it with every program I have. I know there are a few things that reflect light like the doll box, and what looks like the rapper off of a fruit basket. Or the game board, after all it is new and would reflect light well. And the couch to may reflect also. Now some would say there was light off to the left that would have caused this strange effect on the pic,true but unless you were there when the pic was taken no one can prove it or be sure. I'm not saying it was, but it seems to me what people always say just to dismiss when they can't say for sure what it is. To be continued..............

More on the old school house part ll

2005-09-25T17:22:00.000-04:00

First off, I must give thanks to the lady who pointed this out to me. You can find her at "Walking With The Spirits". So I can't take all the credit, I'm not like that and to do so would be wrong. I have been to the one room schoolhouse in the past with people who would drop by my place and ask if I knew of any place to take them that was haunted. Well this old school house is up the road from me about a mile. So I have been there many times with friends in the past and I must say I never really took it to heart that it was really haunted. But whenever I go there I feel a sadness I can't explain. There was one time when Davey and I were there and we caught the faint scent of perfume in the air. The kind your grandma would wear. But I put these pics up to show you and to explain a few things.1st. There is always going to be two sides in this field those who say it's real, and those who say it's not real. And if that's not bad enough there's those who see us as kooks and weirdos, and still more who think we are headed for hell in a hand basket for what we do. It's a science and like any science you dig for the truth and experiment with things, trial by error. Ok, for example, I have never been in a black hole in space but science tells me it's a hypothetical celestial object with a gravitational field so strong that light cannot escape from. People study it and believe what they are told,let's not forget all the theories on what a black hole may or may not be. To many to get into for now. Now take all the people from all over the world who has seen ghosts and had a paranormal experience in there life ( my self included ) we have seen with our eyes, or heard, and a few even has talked to a ghost, and yet others have been slapped silly by some ghosts. 2nd. There is to much evidence on the paranormal to just dismiss it and say it doesn't exist. How many pictures are out there in the world that show the proof.3rd It's sad that people need to fake a picture or alter ( add some thing that isn't there ) it so they can make a buck or two on it. They, in most ways,I feel hurt this field,and give us a bad name. It's money to them.I do it because I want answers to things I have seen in my life for the most part. Don't get me wrong, people need to make money just so they can fund a group and keep it going. Unless you know a store who gives away free equipment. And finally, I don't want to get to the point where I am more worreid about where I am going and forget about where I'm from and my beginnings. After all the exchange of info is what helps us figure this out, although it may never be fully explained there is a possibility. At least it can be understood by those who don't accept it. And last but not least I must give thanks to Davey for getting me back into the hunt, a few has tried to get me in a group in the past. And had it not been for that day on the phone with him, I would not be back into the paranormal.So thanks bro.

The Lady Of The Lake

2005-09-19T01:44:00.000-04:00

This is one of those ghost hunts I can truly say was a blast, or looking back on it I can say it was. There were 8 of us on this trip and we had a debate on where to go on our next ghost hunt. So one of my buddies said," let's go to a place out in the Powelson area called 'lady of the lake'. ""Sounds great, what's the story on it?" we ask him. "Well they say if you drive back by the lake shine your head lights out on the lake, and honk your horn a woman dressed in white will rise up out of the middle of the lake and head right for you". So we pack a few things flashlights, guns ( most of which would be illegal today ). After all there was packs of wild dogs out there. Better safe then sorry and it was dark. So we set off on our hunt.Once I seen the road you took to get back in there I said, "oh, I have been here. There's an old cemetery back there,but I never knew that there was a lake back in there". The road alone would freak a few people out, its a dirt road and looks like a halfpipe with tree roots sticking out of the sides and about 100 or 200 yards back before it opens up into a old cemetery.We pull up and park, get out our flashlights and start asking our buddy" where the hell is the lake?" All we could see was woods all around, and after few we found a old road that was all grown over. "Well can't drive back in there no one has a 4x4, and we came so far let's walk it". So we grab our guns lock our car doors and hope it ain't to far away. I could tell this was gonna be one of those nights when nothing ever goes as planned. As I said, some people would be spooked just driving back into this place at night, and that it did. One of our buddies was so scared he was the one with the pump shotgun, and about every ten minutes you would here "click click" where he would chamber his shot gun,only to send a unspent shell off and into the weeds. None of us had the heart to tell him what he was doing, and we did think it was funny. So after about half hour we found the lake which turned out to be no more then a small pond. Well some one had the bright idea, take two of the flashlights shine them out on this so called lake. Ok now if you can picture this, 8 grown men shining two flashlights on a pond in the middle of the night,screaming Beep, Beep,Beep, and one of which is still going" click click" with an empty shotgun, by now and scared out of his wits. Ok we had our fun and head back to our cars, just as we step out of the woods and into the grave yard, we hear a chain rattle. So we form a small circle and lock and load ready to lite something up and we didn't care what it was.What was that we ask each other? "A dog? no why did we not here any thing moving threw the woods?Maybe someone is messin' with us?About that time one of my buddies yells out, "ok you MFers you got to the count of three to say something 1, 2, 3" and he let a quick burst out, still nothing. I never went ghost hunting with them after that. However,I did learn a few things that night, 1. Dont take gun crazy friends on a ghost hunt, although it's nice to know you have a few friends who would have your back if you ever need them. 2. Never go to a place you need to turn on headligts and honk your horn. 3. If we would have seen a ghost I know you can't kill what's already dead. 4.I bet we looked like the village idiot that night. Although this took place back in 1993 and was one of those nights you never forget. It's one of those nights me and my buddies will talk about for the rest of our life when we see each other. And besides a few buddies won't let me forget that night. So if someone ever tells you they know of a place where a lady drowned and thinks you're there to save her with your headlights and horn, and they just happen to call it lady of the lake beware.

I Believe This Story..

2005-09-10T16:06:00.000-04:00

Hi i just want to comment on rogers post.That is one place i would like to check out one of these days.I think roger said it was tore down, but if the place was active they may still be around that site somewhere.And i have looked at the picture roger has, and i looked at it really good and i don't know what roger thinks it is, but i've looked at alot of pictures and took alot of pictures and caught and seen some weird things and to me i think it is a vortex-ecto,i had seen alot of evidence and been studying one these types of happenings and it isn't the film and it isn't any reflection either.I believe rogers story and i have had many things like that happen to and when you tell people that kind of stuff they tend to think your nuts and out of it, but in reallity it really did happen to them and alot of times the person begins to try to block it and pretend it didn't happen, and that's when other things will start occurring to them again in most cases they tend to start involing themselfs in the paranormal field to seek out the real answers to thier questions, and that's why me and roger got into this field to find the answers to our questions and we have gotten some good results while we were doing this...With that been said i back roger 100% on this story and maybe one day i'll be able to take a trip out there and hopefully nail this ghost....Have a nice day...David

Port Washington

2005-09-07T14:54:00.000-04:00

This is where I had my most strangest encounters I would have to say.Port Washington is so small, you can stand in the middle of town and look both ways and you can see the city limits.The house we was renting had some strange things going on there.We would hear people call our name when no one was there,knocking at the door only to find nothing there.I know that old homes creek and crack,but this was beyond that.This was one of those homes where you feel you were losing your mind.You would here rocking chairs and people talking to you.I do have a pic I plan on posting of an ectoplasm or so I have been told, that was taken at my wife's baby shower.So after about 9 months we had enough of it and decided to move.Only to find out that it used to be a funeral home.If I had known that in the first place, I would have never moved in there.

2005-09-03T22:46:00.000-04:00

Hi here's another picture from old man's cave.This was takin in the same location as the vortex and there is something all over this picture to.It's the same color as the vortex, but this looks more like mist inside this cave.Again there was noone smoking at this time and there was no fog, dew,dust,or anything of that nature present,So again take the time to look at this picture as well and let us know what you think about it.This was takin at 2:30pm on a saturday in july 21 2005

Diffrernt Tyoes Of Ghost PT=6 Matrixing

A natural tendency for the human mind to interpret sensory input that which is perceived visually,Audibly,or tactilely,as something familier or more easily understood and accepted,and in effect mentally, filling the blanks...What i'm saying is when someone visually see this happing keep in mind that your mind can play tricks on you..

The Y-Bridge most likely a hoax

2005-09-02T23:50:00.000-04:00

I find it odd, even funny that the Y-bridge is haunted.In fact I grew up on Cliffwood Ave. just about three blocks away from the Y-bridge in Zanesville. And I never heard of it til this year on Haunted Ohio. As far as windows being shaken, as you can see it may be the trains that pass by. Has any one thought of this? I may add you can't see it in the picture but at the bottom just out of frame is another set of trussels. And in fact, the only homes around or remotely close are just out of frame to the left. The Licking River is center top.And if you look to the right, the brick building just next to the trussels is the Benco Dog Food Company.The one across from there I'm not sure what it is because it has been empty so many times.The one at the bottom right is the American Light Company.

I Would Like To Thank Everybody

2005-09-02T21:53:00.000-04:00

I just would like to thank my family for suporting me and giving me the oppertunity to persue this dream i have.I would also like to thank roger for joinning me in this field as well.And to everyone else i have forgotten everybody has been great to us and hope to keep this group going strong..Thank you...David

Ever Had Something Thrown At You When Nobody Was There

2005-09-02T20:13:00.000-04:00

> Continuing on my encounters with the paranormal i'm gonna tell you about a matter i had at my home back in february of this year.It was a snowy night and me and my wife was the only one's that night.I was sitting at my computer talking on the phone with roger and i decided to get a drink and when i started to walk back out of the kitchen still on the phone with roger at this time and for awhile before this occured i always thought there was something here.Anyway's when i walked back out the kitchen all of a sudden something threw a empty cottage cheese container at me, it didn't have a very good aim it missed me about a foot or so when i turned around there was nothing there and the kicker is the container was behind a stack of plates my wife had stacked there earlier.When this occured my wife was in the shower and roger even heard hit the floor and the weird thing is it was sitting up right in the center of the floor.Hard to believe but it is a true story and we had have pictures knocked off shelves, shelves falling on there own when i fastend them with dry wall screws.I have been touched many times here and sometimes it would be sorta a brush and sometimes i can feel it pull on my arm when i'm sleeping,When i do sleep.And roger and some friends were here back in march and i got a camera system set up and when i use them on investigations.When me and roger and another friend was heading done in the basement roger was the first one to go down the stairs and i was right behind him and something had pushed him down the stairs and while this was going on the other people that was there was watching the cameras and they saw the whole thing and he could have hurt his self,so we finally make it down and while me roger and the other guy were there the girls keep telling us there were orbs flying all around us and by rogers head i seen that one it was a yellow color perfectly round,and we also felt a real heavy presence there and we all 3 felt the same thing so our stories match.After awhile we decided to hed back up stairs the buddy was first,i was second,and roger was last and the same thing happend again,but only this time it was trying force him back down there and we all 3 had encounters that night so like i said our stories match....But i had stuff thrown at me,stuff being moved,weird voices from upstairs that's where i think the most activity is at,banging,footsteps walking upstairs,this place has something and i gotten alot of evps here,and some nice picture and video...I hope you like this story and if this ever happend to you please email us with you story or if you have a active home you would like us to investigate please email us and we will more and happy to assist you in any way...David...Lane's Paranormal Group...

Different Types Of Ghost PT4= Orbs

2005-09-01T20:54:00.000-04:00

> Orbs are the weakest and most common evidence of the paranormal investigators collect.They are often confused with dust, moisture, len's flare's. bugs, a true natural orb can accure without the paranormal activity.A real orb is perectly round like a small ping pong type of ball and are ussually 2 colors, Yellow or Blue.So keep this in mind when taking pictures pending on where you are at dust can be really active when movement is made...David

Different Types Of Ghost PT3= Vortexes

2005-09-01T20:48:00.000-04:00

> Vortexes are another impressive form of evidence,although it is not actually eveidence of the paranormal,more like evidence of the potential,for paranormal activity.So when taking pictures keep in mind to keep the camera strap pulled back, pull hair back ass well if needed,it can be illuminated by the flash of the camera.So do be aware....A true vortex is a gathering of natural energy into 'channels" or even amazing rapid movement of a ball of energy.These are called (Plasma Lights).So these can be present without the paranormal activity...David

Different Types Of Ghost PT2= Apperations

2005-09-01T20:37:00.000-04:00

> These are the best to get in the paranormal evidence collection.These types of ghost are very rare.A apperation is sometimes hard to verify because sometimes they can look like humans.It's course the spirit of a person manifesting itself.So sometimes they can be hard to seperate from a real being, or a real spirit...David

Different Types Of Ghost= Mist

2005-09-01T20:31:00.000-04:00

> Mist are some of the most hard to verify anomalies.They can be created easily and by means that may not be known by the person taking the pictures.There could be easily be a person smoking while the picture is taken and not be thinking about it.Also a persons breath could show up on film as well.So take this in consideration when a investigator happens to get something like this...David

Different Types Of Ghost PT5=Enitys

2005-09-01T18:16:00.000-04:00

Continuing on the types of ghost part 5 is about enitys.A disembodied consciousness commonly refered to as a ghost,spirit or if of an apparently malicious or resentful type of nature,a demon.These types of ghost can be danerous in some cases and if anybody is going to a location where a enity or demon is present please do your home work before you go,and protect yourself as well...

What do you see?

2005-09-01T12:13:00.000-04:00

I would love some feed back on this one,I took this pic at Gettysburg PA.Is it real or isn't it.I will add,it was almost dark out, and I was trying to get Mars in the background.

Painters Hollow off of Ohio State Route 666

2005-08-31T17:55:00.000-04:00

I was told this story by a guy I used to work with.Him and his old lady stopped by my house one day.We was putting away some brews,I was telling some of my ghost stories.He told me he was home on leave from the marines.He took her on a ride out to Painters Hollow so they could do their thing.And just when things started heating up,they heard what was the sound of footsteps walking around on a wooden floor,and suddenly a door slammed shut.He told me that he never drove so fast in his life."I almost killed us getting away from that place,I have never been so scared in my life"he told me.Well, after telling me this story,and a few brews later he went to the restroom.And at that point, his grilfriend told me what he never told, " he was so scared he pissed his self".Now this is one of the best stories I ever heard.Just the fact he wet his self is enough for me, which made me want to look into it more myself.Painters Hollow is just off Ohio state route 666. It's about half way between Zanesville and Dresden.A few buddys and I got together one night and decided to check it out.Although we never seen or heard anything,we did get a strong feeling like we was being watched.I must say the hair on the back of my neck did stand on end.I ain't been there in a few years.But we plan to go there and see if we can get a few EVP's,and hopefully a few pictuers.I have heard a lot of strange stuff in that area.I suggest you pack some heat, there are wild dogs out there.All I can say is try looking into it for yourself,and let me know what you find out.

The Woman At The Wesley Chapple Cemetry

2005-08-30T21:18:00.000-04:00

It was on a thursday evening around 7:30pm and we were out there taking some pictures and recording , this was on june 17, 2005.Just 2 weeks earlier my grandma had just passed away and she was burried in this cemetery.So we were rapping things up we noticed this old woman walking toward us so we started packing up quickly and we watched her she kept walking straight and she walked really slow.Then she sorta glanced toward us and she turned quickly and headed toward a stone.As we watched her doing this she stoped and nelt down on her knees, sorta like a praying postion then it was like thin air she was gone.Me and roger was the only one's in the cemetery at that time and i remember us looking at each other like "what in the hell was that" what just happend so we got away from the car and went to the spot she was at and there was no trace of her anywhere.So we walked that place over really good and nothing turned up.I remember her cloths, she had blue shorts on,a white fower looking type of shirt, grey sorta curly looking hair, and she had glasses on.I told roger after wards i thought she looked just like my grandma who had just passed away.I'm not saying it was her but it sure looked like her.So i thought i would post this up for everybody to read and i hope u enjoy it..If anybody has any stories they might have encountered there please email them to me and i will help anyway we can...David..Lane's Paranormal..

My Encounters With The Paranormal.

2005-08-30T20:06:00.000-04:00

Hi my name is David and i want to take a moment to tell you my encounters.I was eleven years old when i had my first encounter.It was a winter rainy night in late november and it was around 12:30 @ midnight.I was awakend by a force pressing on my fore head.When i awoke from my sleep i didn't see anything at first, then i felt something really cold to my left, when i turned to my left i saw this big huge black figure standing right beside me and it felt like someone left the window open.It didn't speak or move it just stood there watching me.At this time i really didn't know what to think, i just sat there and didn't move.I closed my eye's when i opened them up he was still there and by this time i leaped one time and i was out the door.I told my parents about it and they said it was just my imagination playing with me.I told them it wasn't my imagination playing with me i saw a big thick black figure standing to my left.So we went to look and he was gone and so was the cold feeling.After that night my family started to have things happen to them and my younger brother and grandpa saw the same thing i did.I remember one morning we all were sitting around the table talking then out of the blue a big crash came from my room , it sounded like someone went along my book shelf and knocked every book i had up there.So we all walked back to see what was going on and to our amazement everything was still in it's place like i had left it.Then shortly after that my parents would start experincing things as well.They would hear voices and my dad swears up and down he seen a swirling mist right behind him,when he turned around it started comming right at him and it scared him so bad he was against the wall white as a ghost he had just saw.We all were awakend by the noise he made and when we came out ,there he was back to the wall.As i was walking back to bed i told dad (do you believe me now) he didn't really say much after that.When they were sleeping my mother used to yell at my dad for breathing on neck and ear.But when she turned around to see dad was sound asleep.Their bed would begin to shake repeatedly and she describes to me like someone fairly heavey sitting on the edge of the bed.So i gotta say that's what got me into to this field to find answers to my questions.And find the reason behind them as well.I still have encounters even now to date and i have gotten to the point that it dosen't bother me and i do alot of recording at my place here in zanesville.So with this being said i hope you enjoyed this story and this is one of many i have to tell.And roger you are what they call a sensesitive type of person.We make a good team in deed..Thank you...David Lane...Lane's Paranormal Group

Why have I seen so much?

2005-08-30T10:59:00.000-04:00

My name is Roger and let me say I dont claim to have any special powers or gifts.I just want to know,why me?And what's the odds of seeing so much over the years dealing with the paranormal.Seems like where ever I moved to things would happen. I mean what's the odds of this happeing over and over .Is someone trying to contact me?At first it spooked the hell out of me,and finally got to the point where it don't bother me any more.Seems like when people went on a ghost hunt they would want me to go along..guess the odds was better with me along.I was told there's a scientific name for it but I forget what it is,so basically I'm a magnet.I have seen them in about every form there is except one and that is a mist.I know every one wants the one who looks real,if only they could get a picture one.Well the only thing is I've seen two,and let me tell you the are so real looking. If you did get a picture of one,how would any one really believe it was a ghost, like they wear a name tag saying so.And the other thing is, you would need to take a picture of every thing you seen.Our team tries to document all we do in our investagtions.We look for the truth as well as lies and a hoax.I have been to many places that was so called "haunted",and found them to no more then a story.Funny that people start such rumors just to scare people.Well I know what I have seen over the years and heard,and knowing this some people still don't want to believe the truth. I still have a lot of stroies to tell and hope to here yours as well.

House on Leedom Hollow

2005-08-29T16:05:00.000-04:00

One morning on our way home from work,it was around 5:30 a.m., my girlfriend and I came across this big two story house that clearly was desserted.We were driving east on Leedom Hollow Road,a road we took every morning to get home.But on this particular morning we noticed an old house on the left side of the road.The sun was up just enough that we could see through the house.The house sit back off the road about 30 or 40 feet.It was a big white two story house.It was so old we could see that the floor from the second floor was falling through.There was a light in the left window of the second floor and it was on.So we got to looking around and there were no electric lines going back to the house.The grass had been at least knee high and we could find no signs of a driveway.There was nothing or no one around but me and my girlfriend in our car.It was the spookiest house we had ever seen.My girlfriend got so scared at what we had seen that she started to drive faster and just down the road,what she thought was a dog running by the road,turned out to be a deer and it ran right out in front of our car.Then she really got scared.I thought she was going to have a heart attack.She was white as a ghost "ha,ha".She was totally freaking and so was I.We went to work that night and was telling some of our friends about what we had seen.So a few weeks later we got together with a bunch of our friends and went looking for this house.There were three car loads of people.We lead the way because we knew where we had seen the house.We started on Norfield Road headed east.We knew how to get to Leedom Hollow from there.We rode around for hours that night trying to find Leedom Hollow and that house.But to much avail,we had no luck.But somehow that night we got onto Big B Road,which is on the other side of 93,and never crossed 93.We still can't explain that one. All the roads we traveled on that night were gravel,we never crossed any pavement.I have recently went in search of this mystery house and still had no luck in finding it.

The house on Central Ave. in Zanesville Ohio

2005-08-28T23:37:00.000-04:00

I will not say where it is now,all I will say was it was a yellow house at one time.And I lived there at one time.This was a few weeks after I saw the old man I spoke of in a earlier post.Although they may not have any thing in common,one thing is for sure,there was strange things going on in that house.And in a funny way wish I still lived there today,knowing what I know now after all these years.I worked 3rd shift and had just got home,and as always had a bite to eat.Well this particular morning something happened out of the ordinary.As I walked through the living room and down the hallway to the kitchen.I felt a chill as if it suddenly got cold,I thought no big deal, it is the fall time so I turned up the thermostat.I was in the middle of making me a bite to eat,when suddenly I heard a noise in the living room, like some thing fell.So I went to the living room to see what it was.Everybody was in bed that I knew of.When I got to the living room, there was my wife's Bengal chip dip helmet,that was normally in the corner,sitting in the middle of the floor.I can't explain how it got there nor can I say what I was thinking or feeling at the time.I can tell you after that I started to pay more attention to things that were going on around the house.Like the time my nephew and I were playing nintendo.The power pac came out of the wall and rolled out into the center of the living room floor.If anyone knows anything about the old nintendo power pacs there big and square.And square things just simply don't roll.It was odd how it seemed to be something about the center of the living room floor.There were times when we would hear footsteps in the basement but I just figured it was an old house just settling.That's what I told the kids.When I finally come to the conclusion that the house was haunted was when I felt something blowing on the back of my neck and no one was there.I was getting ready for work one night.I sat down on the couch to put on my shoes and I felt something or someone blowing on the back of my neck.But when I turned around there was nothing there.I later told my brother about what was happening in my house and he told me to go home and read from the bible,so I did.Then he started to have things happen around his house.I can't say things completely stopped happening,on occasion we would see or hear little things.

Is it or isn't it,the old one room school house

2005-08-26T20:42:00.000-04:00

This is our latest investigation,I'm not saying where it is for fear of vandalism. We have got a few ORBS,and evps in this school.It's a shame there aren't many left. Kids today think they have it so rough..Give me a break please..We have been to this place 3 times already and know something is there. We have proof of this.Our last visit there turned up short of any thing.We plan to try and find out the history of it.Hopefully our home work on the place will tell us something more about the place....but I know back then they only kept records on paper.So it may be hard to find. All we have to go on is the name of the road it's on.If you look at the pic you may see some thing in front of the door,its to the right of the door I'll have more on this story as we get it.

The old man down the road

2005-08-26T18:36:00.000-04:00

The year was 1990 or 91,in November.A friend and I had gotten off of work early one morning.It was about 4:30a.m.We were driving down Richvale Road toward Zanesville.What we saw that night I will never forget.It had been drizzling that morning so we were driving slower than usual because of the wet leaves on the road.We came across an old man standing on the left side of the road.He was dressed in what looked to be a work uniform and an old ball cap(the kind that "Beaver" wore).The uniform looked to be brown or gray from the light of my headlights.He was standing there in what I call the firemans stance,all of his weight on one leg,and the other one out in front.With his right hand in his pocket and his left hand was on his hip.As if he was waiting for us to pass so he could cross the road. My buddy told me to watch the old man standing by the road and I told him I already saw him.This is the part I will never forget,when we got about 30ft. from him,he simply vanished.Iwas thinking"what the hell just happened".I looked at my buddy and asked him if he saw that.He said ,"yeah I know what you're thinking,keep driving".I bet my buddy was three shades of white he was so scared.I really wanted to whip the car around and go back and check it out.After a few weeks I just let it slip to the back of my mind and didn't think any more about it.In 97, I was talking to a woman who said she had seen the same old man but in a different part of the Powelson area.According to her,she was at a party at a cemetery in the Powelson area(crazy place to party but to each his own)and low and behold there he stood.And when he was approached he vanished.It made me think back to my experience with that same old man so many years before.And yet I only seem to think about it when I hear a similar story or face a new one of my own.Most recently,about a week ago,my nephew was at the Old Stone Church Cemetery and saw an old man similar to the same old man of my story and the story of the woman I spoke with.When my nephew attempted to approach him he vanished.This same old man seems to be the subject of three stories yet different people and places.Only this time I'm not going to drop it or let it slip to the back of my mind.If anyone has any information about this e-mail me.
