Black Magick Shit and Cursed Places
Forums:
So I just dropped £39 pounds for a rock. It isn't just any old rock, but is instead a piece of the infamous Boleskine House in Scotland, which is the former home of Aleister Crowley and burned down mysteriously a few years back. Another former owner, Jimmy Page, explained that the place was already cursed long before Crowley got there. Anyway, the new owners are selling rocks and burnt wood from the place as a fundraiser to help restore the house:

I so wanted to check it out when I was in Scotland a few years ago, jump the fence, and see what would happen if you started doing black magick shit there. However, the ruins were located an hour down a narrow one lane road on the south side of the Loch and I couldn't convince my brother, who was already nervous driving a big van around on the narrow highland roads, to take a half a day off our itinerary to visit the ruins.
We did get a chance to visit the ruins of Čachtice Castle on a hilltop overlooking a little village in Slovakia on another recent trip. That is the former home of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who murdered hundreds of girls and young women there and bathed in their blood in a macabre attempt to keep her youthful appearance:
My son will soon be moving to NYC for work and if I visit him there, will have to check the cursed Amityville Horror house out on Long Island.
Any of you all like to check out cursed and/or haunted places?

The hospital I worked at
The hospital I worked at allegedly had many ghosts. Seems like the housekeepers were most often the ones to see / experience them. Stories of holding elevator doors open so an old lady could get in, then the doors close and there's nobody there (several have told that story). In the radiology department where I worked, one of the dressing room areas was haunted. Many many people had seen that ghost, but I never did, and that was right outside the CT suite where I worked. One night while walking past that area, an oxygen tank on one of the two gurneys parked outside those dressing rooms started shaking violently and moving laterally. It was very cold there too. Needless to say, I stopped and checked it out, once it stopped, I found it was moving against gravity (the tank in it's cage), and those baby's are really heavy too, so not a simple thing to swing them against gravity like that... so I've still never seen a ghost (guess that's not my gift), but I've seen telekinesis from one now (she died from lack of oxygen was my understanding).
I've got haunted house stories too, but nothing as "real" as the story above. FWIW, there's an area on one of the mining claims where a cheap compass will go in circles... Otherwise, Oregon has many famous haunted spots, including the Wolf Creek Tavern north of Grants Pass, and the Benson Hotel in Portland

The Pink Warehouse (of Dave
The Pink Warehouse (of Dave Matthews "Warehouse" fame) in C'ville has many ghosts.
I have a buddy that lived there one summer in the library and he woke up in the middle of the night his first night there to an old guy sitting in a rocking chair, slowly rocking. After a double take he heard the man say, "Its gonna be, ok" before disappearing. He went down to the kitchen for some breakfast the next day and a few other residents were there drinking their coffee. He asked if anyone had ever seen a ghost in the building and they all laughed and asked "Did you see him?" After a little back and forth, they relayed to him that this friendly old guy introduces himelf to everyone on their first night, and usually isn't seen again.

I used to follow a surprisingly busy Scotland castle ruins group for the cool photographs, and someone asked if anyone had ever seen anything uncanny at a castle ruin. Most of the members of the group live in Scotland and check out castle ruins regularly as a hobby. Anyhow. Floods of responses, all "No". I was a little bit disappointed tbh.

Ken D, I read Bathory was walled into a room where she lived several years before dying. I wonder if she was walled in, except for a shuttle for food and water...where did her poop go?

Closest thing I remember was
Closest thing I remember was when we were younger dosing at the lake on a pontoon barge. It looked like four dots coming right at us in the sky from afar in a formation two side by side and perfectly spaced anglerly below the two dots two more dots.
They were getting bigger as they approached yet staying in perfect formation. What the fuch!!! It was fucking UFOs.
Then it was clearly two giant Sikiskorsy helicopters hauling large(giant) objects on cables. The wind was blowing the hanging objects from cables a distance to the side in unison .
Amazing, astounding!
Then identification. My one friend or I still converse bout that day.
When very young we visited many haunted castles around Germany. Zero .
If only.

Yeah, she was royalty so that was the worst they could do with her. In fact, the authorities in Budapest turned a blind eye to the Countesses' activities until she apparently ran out of peasant girls and young upper class ladies attending her etiquette school started to turn up missing. Still, getting walled up in your own castle couldn't have been fun and she went mad in there (she was obviously pretty wacked to begin with). The castle itself is in bad shape these days (they are starting to restore sections) and the area where she was walled up wasn't marked or identified. We know a lot about her crimes because the transcript of her trial was preserved, but what happened afterwards is a little more murky and her final resting place remains unknown.
