Camping scare stories.

Doesn't have anything to do with camping but when I was in EMT school in 88 I worked at a bar on the Marietta square called Waterstreet. It started life as a feed and seed supposedly and was built pre civil war. Out the back door, directly across the alleyway was a boarded up hotel that also dated to pre civil war. We used to regularly see what was obviously candle light in various windows of it at night.
At waterstreet after closing several times me and my buddy that was the kitchen manager would be in the office (in the basement) after locking the doors and hear the back door slam open and shut, someone in boots walk from the back door to the front door and hear it slam open and shut and when we went and looked both doors would still be locked and shut. This probably happened at least a dozen times while I worked there.
sewerman68 sewerman68 do you know the address or which building that is now? We're local and my wife and I would like to check it out
 
It was later called Hemingways, they closed a few years back, I don't know what its called now.
29 w park sq is the address

Hemingways is KNOWN to be haunted. Story goes that the basement area was a field hospital during civil war. Always got the “chills” whenever I went downstairs to pee. Creepy down there.

I have always heard the same.
awesome thanks! It's the Red Hare taphouse now. I was there last week but no ghosts
 
I used to go with my uncle to his hunting property in Jones County when I was a kid. This would of been around 1985. We were heading down the road around 10:00 pm when I saw what I can only describe as a ball of fire traveling along side of us. It was bright enough to light up the entire area. I asked him what is that? He replied "I dont know but we aint stopping". He floored the old blazer and it kept right up with us for a ways then just vanished. It was around three foot in diameter and I have no idea what it was. I dont know what road we were on but it was very rural back then. I have got another story that I may post later that is still happening almost weekly.
This sounds like ball lightning which I think there is some documentation of.
 
we moved to the Forsyth county house in 2018, did the closing with the wife(widow) of the couple who lived here previous,his name was Robert. Got moved in and met the neighbors and they told me about Robert. He was a heavy smoker and had a heart attack in the house and never returned. No big deal. Was asleep one night in the basement and smelled cigarette smoke,right away thought of him. Just me and the dog here and neither of us smoke. Got up and went into the open area of the basement and hollered,"Bob you need to get the **** outta here,Kathy has moved to Florida and you dont live here anymore." Smelled it one more time and hollered to Bob again and he was gone after that. Nothing yet out of the girl who OD'd in the upstairs bedroom,I reckon thats for another time.

i hope all of that was disclosed before you bought the house? if not lawsuit time.
well, you can actually. maybe bon kicked the girl out after he arrived in the next world?
 
The house we lived in previous to where we live now had some strange things happen along the lines of animals.. when my buddy JACK was just a puppy he climbed up on the back of my chair and was staring at something that was standing next to me( I was behind the chair stand at the dining room table) .. then he started barking at that something standing next to me… I looked closely at him and HE WAS NOT LOOKING AT ME BUT BESIDE ME.. once my wife was home alone asleep in our bed with the door closed… something jumped on the bed with her , shook the bed enough it woke her from a dead sleep
