Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here you can keep a record of what you're planning to do! If you want to, you can also make a new thread in the guild to keep a kind of journal of what you're doing, how your research is going, anything along those lines really 3nodding

I'm not sure about mine yet, I'm going to research the local area and see what there is I can investigate.

Remeber, it's worth planning it out instead of rushing in - not only are you bound to get better results, better results makes it more likely that you'll win the Halloween prize!

Post away!

well, here in colorado springs the only haunted places i know of are the third tunnel up on gold camp road, and the stanley hotel(used in stephen kings 'the shining' movie.)
however, both of those are really over used, for lack of better words, so i will try and do something else...but im really not sure.

Here's a good start...

Barguest

Location: Appletreewick - Trollers Gill (or Ghyll)
Type: Shuck
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: Possessing glowing red eyes and a yellow tint to its fur, the dog-like barguest is a harbinger of doom.


Trolls

Location: Appletreewick - Trollers Gill (or Ghyll)
Type: Fairy
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: Living beneath the ravine, the trolls are said to emerge at night and track down their prey - humans. At least one farmer was lured to his death by their ability to trick people into straying from the road.

Troll tracking! The phantom hounds intrigue me also. There's many accounts of them over the years, usually as harbingers of doom and misfortune. Apparently one burst into a church once and left a trail of scorch marks where it's feet touched the stones, also setting fire to the church pews. Maybe they aren't the best of things to look into hahah!

where i live there is the "traverse city state hospital"



its one of the largest mental institutions in the country! and also has one of the highest death counts.

it was condemned for about 25 years. an was untill fairly recently decaying and collapsing into itself.

i plan on writing a horror novel based around it. due to the fact that this place is being turned into a residential and commercial complex! 3nodding

already there is about 200 residents living here at least! ^.^

picture of the whole complex overlooking traverse city.

as you can see the complex is huge. it spans all the way from munson medical center. (the big tan building at the very edge of the left of the picture) all the way over to those sparce barns next to the diagonal road

apparantly the most haunted places in the whole complex are:

the water tower
the womens wing
the tunnels (there are miles of tunnels under the complex. they moved patiants through them so as to avoid the public seeing them..)

it was also one of the most expiramental hospitals around, the specialized in electro shock therapy.

at one point there was more patiants here then in the entire city around it! neutral
