Basement Terrors (Freaky, but true story)
Source - total_believer's Full Review: Ouija Boar@ Epinion.com
Well...I decided to borrow this game from my cousin, this experience happened on this day. My dad and I were messin' around with the Ouija board, just jokin' around and stuff. It started to spell out nonsense. I realized neither of us were moving the pointer, properly known as the planchette. We both decided to take the board to the dusty old basement.
It's just like one of those scary, cluttered basements you see on horror movies. We placed an old weight bench in the corner of the basement, shut off the lights, leaving no illumination whatsoever. Both of us began to feel a slight chill in the air. A bit of light began to show on the cobweb covered walls, which didn't really catch my attention until I reviewed the events in my mind. We started the game, yet again, it spelled out nonsense. All of a sudden, the planchette dragged to the middle of the board and spelled out a name. Excitement and fear shot through me, as it spelled out the name...Stacey...Me and my dad jumped in our seats, but our curious minds kept us from leaving that dark place.
We began to ask some questions. "Are you evil?" Our response was quite fast, NO. Only my dad would think to ask this..."Are you pretty?" The planchette moved even faster this time, YES was the answer. Something triggered my dad to bump his eye on the weight bench, "Oww," my dad instantly shouted while still keeping two fingers on, "Stupid bench!" S-R-R-Y, the board replied (the vowels didn't always show in words). By this time, I knew that "Stacey" could heard and see us..."Where are you?" H-E-R-E...This time...We really got freaked...
We asked the spirit, Stacey, how she died. She immediately answered, without hesitation, almost as if it was reading our minds. C-A-R..."You've gotta be kiddin' me." My dad said in fear. I was ready to jump up and run up those creaky steps, but I was just too into it...The planchette practically jumped up, our fingers struggled to stay on as it moved quickly over the letters L-C-F-R...I quickly thought...Lucifer..
Me and dad decided to take a quick break, grab a drink, take a leak...the usual stuff. Then we went back to the dreaded basement. We placed our fingers back on the planchette, and it slowly started to move again. L-A-U-R-A it spelled. I asked my dad if he knew any Laura, and he said yeah, but it's probably not her. My dad slowly asked, "Are you Laura Kennison?" YES...."Can you tell us anything to signify that you really are her?" The planchette moved slowly over the letters E-G-G-N-O-G....I kept on thinking it over in my head.."Eggnog, eggnog, eggnog..." "Hey dad...Does this mean anything to you?" My dad was practically froze in fear...He spoke softly.."Yeah...It was what we drank on our last date..."
Dad started gettin' all emotional (no tears...he's not that much of a softie). "Laura...I really miss you, and wish you were here...I really liked you, and had the biggest crush on you..I know that your father killed you with a gun, and shortly after...Burned down your house..I sadly heard, but I hope you are happy where you are." The pointer moved a bit...YES. I was slightly touched, but also a bit afraid...I've never contacted the dead before, so i was pretty scared. I-LOVE-YOU was spelled out. By this time, I had no doubt that there was heaven, hell, ghosts...or whatever...Anything..is possible...This true story won't end as happy is you would hope though..."Do you know Stacey?" My dad asked. YES...But the pointer continued to move...BAD was spelled out...I was terrified. I could barely sit in my chair.
My dad continued to ask questions. "Are we safe down here?" NO. "Are there any evil spirits down here?" YES....DEVIL..Our conversation grew deeper and scarier with each question. We asked one more.."Should we leave?" YES...At this question, I could have sworn that I saw something move. We both got up, grabbed the flashlight, and ran for the door. As I saw my dad coming up the steps, I was pretty sure I saw a pair of red eyes behind him.
In the end...I do officially believe in ghosts now. I had a bit of experiences before that I wasn't sure about, but this was real...I swear to it to. The Ouija Board does work...I don't know if you need to have any supernatural powers, or possess psychic energy, but I know it worked for me and my dad...In the basement of our house....I don't recommend this product for the light-hearted...but for those of you...Who really want to know what's out there...Try it out...But be cautious, this stuff is no joke.
This product requires little assembly, two or more people to play (I think it works best with two people, but it does work with three). The game is easy to play, all you need is to believe. Don't cheat by moving the planchette, it ruins everyone's fun. It's okay to move it, if you have an intention of telling the person afterwards. Extremely dark or very dimly lit rooms work best. Placing candles besides you and your friends works well for contacting spirits. But be warned, almost everything you contact is evil, the spirits are known to play tricks upon you. I advise you not to look around the room while playing.....

Lembaga seperti pelajar di Hutan Royal Belum
» Misteri
PADA pertengahan 2004, seramai 33 pelajar lelaki yang mendaftar mengikuti perkhemahan bina semangat tiba di Masjid Bandar Baru Sentul. Masing-masing siap dengan pakaian, makanan dan peralatan perkhemahan yang dijangka empat hari tiga malam di kaki gunung Hutan Royal Belom, Perak.
PADA pertengahan 2004, seramai 33 pelajar lelaki yang mendaftar mengikuti perkhemahan bina semangat tiba di Masjid Bandar Baru Sentul. Masing-masing siap dengan pakaian, makanan dan peralatan perkhemahan yang dijangka empat hari tiga malam di kaki gunung Hutan Royal Belom, Perak.
Tiga ustaz dan dua pegawai lain akan menyertai perkhemahan itu. Mereka awal-awal lagi sudah tiba di masjid siap dengan senarai nama peserta. Seorang demi seorang pelajar tiba. Ada yang dihantar oleh keluarga dan datang menaiki teksi.
Kegembiraan pelajar terserlah apabila tiba di perkarangan masjid itu. Selepas bersalaman dengan ustaz dan pegawai yang akan mengiringi, mereka berkenalan antara satu sama lain sambil menunjukkan beberapa peralatan yang dibawa sesuai dengan perkhemahan dalam hutan yang tidak pernah dilakukan sebelum ini.
Perkhemahan itu dianjurkan selaras dengan tema survival bagi meningkatkan semangat individu dan berpasukan pelajar yang kebanyakan belajar di tingkatan empat dari beberapa sekolah sekitar Kuala Lumpur.
Selepas solat Zuhur, mereka tolak selepas seorang ustaz membaca doa supaya selamat pergi dan kembali serta dijauhkan segala musibah. Bas yang membawa 37 peserta itu bergerak dari Bandar Baru Sentul melalui Gombak menyusuri MRR2 ke Sungai Buloh kemudian memasuki Lebuh Raya Utara-Selatan menuju Ipoh, Perak.
Perjalanan di lebuh raya pastinya menyenangkan. Walaupun banyak kenderaan bertali arus tetapi suasana sangat menggembirakan. Sesekali pelajar bersorak apabila ada antara mereka yang membuka cerita kelakar. Perjalanan yang hampir empat jam tidak terasa kerana terhibur dengan pelbagai kerenah masing-masing.
Bas kami tiba hampir Maghrib, pelajar turun dan berkumpul di kawasan perkhemahan kaki bukit Hutan Belom. Kawasan itu memang terkenal sebagai antara pusat perkhemahan musim panas dan pusat seminar.
Setelah taklimat ringkas, pelajar memasuki khemah masing-masing. Mereka diminta berkumpul semula untuk menunaikan solat Maghrib berjemaah di surau.
Pelajar yang memang begitu bersemangat sebaik saja meletak beg dan barang masing-masing segera tukar pakaian dan mengambil wuduk di tepi anak sungai berhampiran.
Malam itu mereka mengisi masa dengan mendengar ceramah agama selepas makan dan tidur kira-kira jam 10.30 malam.
Walaupun berada di kaki Hutan Belom di Banjaran Titiwangsa suasananya amat sejuk bagaikan berada di negara Barat. Kabus pagi yang tebal menyebabkan pelajar liat bangun pagi untuk menunaikan solat Subuh. Ada antara mereka lambat datang ke surau untuk berjemaah. Bagaimanapun disebabkan semangat yang ditanam oleh ustaz yang membimbing malam itu menyebabkan mereka tetap berada di surau berjemaah dan mendengar kuliah subuh penuh khusyuk.
Sebelah siang hari kedua dipenuhi pelbagai aktiviti berpasukan selain beberapa ceramah motivasi supaya cintakan pelajaran. Mereka menerima segala aktiviti dengan penuh dedikasi dan memberi tumpuan khas kepada ceramah.
Selepas solat Asar, ustaz yang mengendalikan perkhemahan itu membuat program memancing di hulu sungai kira-kira satu jam perjalanan dari tapak perkhemahan. Pelajar bersorak gembira kerana sebahagian besar membawa joran.
Bagaimanapun ustaz memberitahu, dua orang daripada mereka tidak dapat pergi memancing untuk menjaga khemah bagi mengelakkan daripada dicerobohi terutama binatang buas seperti babi hutan dan kera.
Akhirnya dua pelajar dipilih. Walaupun rasa kecewa tetapi mereka akur perintah itu dan sedia menjaga khemah. Selepas solat Maghrib, kumpulan pelajar dan pegawai bergerak ke hulu sungai untuk memancing seperti dirancang.
Kira-kira setengah jam kumpulan itu bergerak dari khemah, dua pelajar yang diarah menjaga khemah rasa agak bosan dan berpakat untuk memancing di hilir sungai. Mereka berdua meninggalkan khemah dan memancing pada jarak kira-kira 30 minit perjalanan dari khemah itu.
Sedang kumpulan di hulu sungai asyik memancing, seorang daripada ustaz yang mengiringi kumpulan itu ternampak dua pelajar yang diarah menjaga khemah juga asyik memancing bersama pelajar lain.
Ustaz memanggil pelajar berkenaan dan memarahinya sekali gus meminta mereka pulang semula ke khemah semula. Dua pelajar itu bagaimanapun diam dan menjauhi kumpulan berkenaan kemudian lesap dalam gelap.
Kira-kira jam 11.30 malam kumpulan yang memancing di hulu sungai tiba semula ke tapak perkhemahan. Ustaz dengan segera memanggil dua pelajar yang diarah menjaga khemah. Pelajar itu tergamam apabila dimarahi ustaz.
Dua pelajar itu cuba menerangkan kepada ustaz bahawa mereka tidak mengikuti kumpulan ke hulu sungai tetapi memancing di hilir sungai. Sebagai bukti mereka menunjukkan ikan yang dipancing.
Ustaz terdiam seketika dan memikirkan alasan yang diberikan oleh dua pelajar berkenaan. Akhirnya seorang daripada ustaz yang sentiasa memberi ceramah agama tersenyum dan meminta kes itu ditutup.
Bagaimanapun dua pelajar itu tetap dihukum memasak makanan kepada pelajar lain kerana meninggalkan khemah.
Ketika perjalanan pulang, seorang ustaz bertanyakan ketua perkhemahan berkenaan bagaimanapun dua pelajar itu boleh berada di dua tempat berasingan dalam masa yang sama.
Misteri itu walaupun belum ada jawapannya tetapi tetap segar dalam ingatan mereka

The Himuro Mansion Haunting
The Himuro Mansion Haunting
| This post currently has 115 comments. Join the conversation
According to urban legend, lying just beyond the city of Tokyo is one of the most haunted locations in all of Japan. The exact location of the Himuro Mansion (or Himikyru Mansion as it is sometimes known) is widely unknown but the legend puts the mansion in a rocky region just beyond the city limits of Tokyo.
The most popular version of the tale states that bad karma would emerge each December (other versions simply say “toward the end of the year”) from a portal on the Mansions grounds. In order to prevent this, a maiden was chosen at birth by the master of the household and isolated from the outside world in order to prevent her from developing any ties to the outside world, which would in turn, jeopardize the effect of the ritual.
On the day of the Strangling Ritual, the maiden was bound by ropes on her ankles, wrists, and neck. The ropes were attached to teams of oxen or horses to rip her limbs from her body, quartering her. The ropes used to bind her appendages would then be soaked in her blood and laid over the gateway of the portal. They believed that this would seal off the portal for another half century until the ritual had to be repeated.
During the last recorded Strangling Ritual it is said that the maiden had fallen in love with a man who tried to save her from the ritual. This “tie” to Earth tainted her blood and spirit and ruined the ritual altogether. Upon learning of the maidens love, the master took up his sword and brutally murdered all of his family members, before finally, in fear of what would soon happen, fell upon his own blade.
This is the basis of the “haunting” of the Himuro Mansion. Local legend has it that these souls of the murdered family wander the mansion attempting to repeat the failed ritual using whomever enters the abandoned building. Blood splashes on the walls are reportedly seen, as if they were flicked from the blade of a sword that had recently sliced through flesh. Many have reported seeing spirits and apparitions dressed completely in white, rinsing cloths and preparing the grounds for the ritual.
A Purported Image of the Himuro Mansion Hallway
Interest in the Himuro Mansion has peaked due to it’s inclusion into the back story of the popular game, Fatal Frame. Here is a quote from Makoto Shibata, Chief Producer of Fatal Frame, regarding the legend:
“In an area outside Tokyo, there lies a mansion in which it’s said seven people were murdered in a grisly manner. On the same property, there lie three detached residences that surround the mansion, all of which are rumored to have ties to the mansion’s troubled past. It’s said there is an underground network of tunnels that lay beneath the premises, but nobody knows who made these tunnels or what purpose they served. Many inexplicable phenomenons have been reported occurring on the property. Bloody handprints have been found splattered all over the walls. Spirits have been spotted on the premises… even in broad daylight. A narrow stairway leads to an attic where a spirit-sealed talisman is rumored to be locked away. Men have sought this talisman, only to be found later with their bodies broken and rope marks around their wrists. There’s a crumbling old statue of a woman in a kimono, but its head is missing. If you take a photo of a certain window, a young girl can be seen in the developed picture. These incidents have provoked fear in the people of Tokyo, and many believe that those who live near this area will become cursed. The deaths of those seven people are unexplained to this day.”
Now, the question is, did any of this really happen? Probably not. The core allure of this legend is also it’s silver bullet. If such a grisly murder did occur (sources put this between 30 and 80 years ago) in such recent times, where is the record?
It is highly unlikely that no police station or newspaper have records of this mass murder taking place just outside of Tokyo.
Regarding the mystery of the location, some believers have offered the notion that the Himuro family has once again taken ownership of the mansion and is currently living there.. but that conflicts with the legend in that all family members were supposedly murdered AND the “firsthand accounts” of events witnessed on the property by locals and researchers.
Another peculiarity of note is that Tecmo advertised the game in North America with the tagline: “Based on a true story,” but without on the original Japanese release. Because of this, some have theorized that the entire legend was fabricated by the game developers.
In conclusion, I have this to say:
Maybe there was a murder and all of this really happened, or maybe it’s somewhat more likely that it was made up by some creative game developers, but I don’t believe we’ll be finding out exactly what that truth is anytime soon .. so why not enjoy the legend of the Himuro Mansion for what it is? A good old fashioned, creepy urban legend

The Ghost of Xunantunich
Belize does not immediately come to mind when thinking of hot bed areas for ghostly activity, but in fact it has one of the more intriguing and long-lasting ghost stories I’ve run across in recent years. The ancient Mayan ruin of Xunantunich lies about 80 miles west of Belize City. The phenomena is so strongly associated with the area that the site itself is now named after the ghost, Xunantunich is mayan for “stone woman”.
Sightings of the stone woman begin in 1892 when several people living on the site saw a woman, dressed in white, ascending the stairs of the temple-pyramid at the site, known as “El Castillo”, and disappearing into a stone wall. The most notable feature is that she has glowing red eyes. In subsequent years, several other locals saw the ghost, and most recently a tour group from Canada seems to have spotted the lady, true to the previous accounts, shortly after sun down.
Beyond that, little is known. There are, however, interesting aspects of the haunting if looked at within the confines of ancient Mayan culture. Firstly, the site is very old. Xunantunich flourished between 200 AD and mostly died away around 900 AD, likely because of a devastating earthquake. The site was generally unknown and grown over until the 1890′s, so it seems likely that the stone woman is perhaps the ghost of an ancient Mayan woman ascending the stairs of El Castillo to be sacrificed, or connected in some way to the ritual, to appease the gods of the Maya.
If she is a Mayan from nearly two thousand years ago, it wouldn’t be surprising that she would ascend the temple stairs. Mayans were known for human sacrifice at the tops of their temples. Incidences of very strong emotion are often linked to the creation of a ghost, and I can think of few things that would be more emotional than a human sacrifice. In the end, we’ll never know, but if the paranormal enthusiast reader ever gets to the jungles of Belize, Xunantunich should be on the top of your list as places to visit.

Rebah dilanggar makhluk ghaib di pesta kepah
Rebah dilanggar makhluk ghaib di pesta kepah
Oleh Zaiton Abdul KarimPERISTIWA ini berlaku lebih kurang 28 tahun lalu. Ketika itu, aku masih kanak-kanak. Kampung kami dikejutkan dengan kehadiran kepah yang banyak di pantai berhampiran. Tidak pernah begitu banyak hidupan laut itu ditemui di pantai kampung kami.
PERISTIWA ini berlaku lebih kurang 28 tahun lalu. Ketika itu, aku masih kanak-kanak. Kampung kami dikejutkan dengan kehadiran kepah yang banyak di pantai berhampiran. Tidak pernah begitu banyak hidupan laut itu ditemui di pantai kampung kami.
Sejak berita baik itu dihebahkan dari mulut ke mulut, berduyun-duyun penduduk kampung mengunjungi pantai berkenaan. Bukan penduduk tempatan saja yang datang malah ramai pengunjung dari luar yang turut berkampung di situ. Semuanya ingin mengambil kesempatan yang mungkin berlaku sekali dalam seumur hidup itu.
Setiap hari selama dua minggu, suasana Pantai Hailam bagaikan pesta menuai kepah. Masing-masing membawa bersama cangkul, pengais, baldi dan segala macam alatan yang difikirkan sesuai untuk mencari kepah. Beberapa gerai sementara juga didirikan berdekatan dengan pantai. Semuanya berebut-rebut untuk mengaut keuntungan sebanyak mungkin.
Keghairahan mencari kepah juga berjangkit kepada keluarga kami. Jiran sebelah rumah turut sama tumpang sekaki. Mereka sering mengajak kami anak-beranak sama-sama memeriahkan suasana. Namun ayah melarang keras hasrat kami untuk mengikut jiran ke sana. Menurut ayah, pantai itu agak keras.
Setiap hari kami merayu ayah supaya dibenarkan pergi ke pantai. Seorang demi seorang kami sebelas beradik memujuk ayah. Kami turut mengajak ibu sama-sama menyertai operasi kami itu. Malangnya hati ayah tidak berupaya kami lembutkan. Biasanya ayah tidak begitu. Segala permintaan kami sedaya upaya dipenuhi walaupun kami bukan terdiri dari orang yang berada.
Kami akhirnya berputus asa. Bagaimanapun kami tetap dapat merasai keenakan kepah segar. Ayah membeli beberapa kilogram kepah daripada penduduk kampung. Terubat sedikit rasa terkilan di hati kami. Namun kakak sulung kami, Kak Mas masih tidak berpuas hati. Dia masih ingin ke pantai mencari kepah.
Kak Mas akhirnya mengambil keputusan mengikut anak jiran secara senyap-senyap. Kata Kak Mas, dia ingin ke sekolah pada petang itu kerana ada kelas tambahan. Kebetulan memang dia berada dalam tingkatan tiga dan akan menduduki peperiksaan SRP tidak lama lagi.
Belumpun setengah jam Kak Mas keluar, kami didatangi oleh Pak Su Kadir dengan skuter. Terjerit-jerit dia memanggil ayah di hadapan rumah. Kami bertempiaran lari ke muka pintu. Berdentum-dentam papan lantai rumah kami dihentak-hentak dengan kasar oleh bilangan kami yang ramai. Kami turut cemas apabila melihat Pak Su Kadir tercungap-cungap.
“Kenapa kau, Kadir?” tanya ayah. Kami turut tidak sabar untuk mendengar berita yang dibawa oleh Pak Su Kadir. “Anak abang, Masnaini pengsan kat pantai!” jeritnya. “Ya Allah, anak aku! Kau bawa aku ke pantai sekarang!” tegas arahan ayah kepada adik bongsunya itu.
Pak Su menunggang skuter dengan laju. Menurut ayah setibanya di pantai, orang ramai mengerumuni Kak Mas yang berada di bawah sebatang pokok ru. Seorang anak jiran memangku kepalanya. Kata Pak Su pula badan Kak Mas berpeluh-peluh dan mukanya merah seperti di dalam kesakitan. Mulutnya berbuih-buih bagaikan orang kena sawan. Matanya pula menjula-jula dan sesekali terbuntang memandang orang ramai di sekelilingnya. Mulutnya tidak berkata-kata tetapi menderam seperti bunyi anjing ingin berkelahi. Kak Mas akhirnya pengsan tidak sedarkan diri.
Ayah membawa Kak Mas ke hospital dengan sebuah kereta sapu yang kebetulan berada di situ. Kak Mas ditahan di wad selama dua malam. Menurut doktor, Kak Mas mungkin disengat ikan pari atau ampai-ampai. Ayah memang sering mengingatkan kami bahawa perairan pantai itu memang banyak ampai-ampai dan ikan pari. Kami hanya dibenarkan bermain-main pasir di pantai setiap kali kami sekeluarga menghabiskan masa di kawasan itu. Kami tidak sekali-kali dibenarkan mencecahkan kaki di gigi air sekalipun. Kami hanya akan dibenarkan bermain air jika kami pergi lebih jauh ke utara iaitu di Pantai Puteri, satu kilometer dari situ.
Kata ayah air laut di situ lebih selamat untuk bermandi-manda. Ibu menyuruh kami menurut saja larangan ayah. Menurut ibu ayah memang pakar dengan laut kerana lama menghabiskan masa mudanya menjadi kelasi kapal.
Kami berasa lega apabila Kak Mas dibenarkan pulang ke rumah. Kasihan sungguh melihat keadaannya yang lemah dan tidak bertenaga. Namun walaupun mukanya masih pucat lesi, Kak Mas masih becok mulutnya bercerita. Kata Kak Mas, dia bukannya disengat ikan pari atau ampai-ampai kerana dia belum pun mencecahkan kakinya ke dalam air. Ketika itu dia sedang berbual-bual dengan seorang rakan yang ditemuinya di pantai itu. Tiba-tiba Kak Mas berasa seperti dirempuh dengan kasar oleh sesuatu yang besar. Kak Mas dapat merasai benda itu kemudian meresap masuk ke dalam tubuhnya sebelum dia rebah pengsan di atas pasir. Tapi kata Kak Mas, dia tidak pula melihat makhluk yang mengganggunya itu.
Kehidupan kami tidak tenteram sejak Kak Mas pulang dari hospital. Dia akan menjerit-jerit dan meracau-racau setiap kali tidur malam. Entah apa-apa yang diucapkannya. Tiada seorangpun yang memahami kata-katanya. Mujur keadaan itu tidak berpanjangan. Kak Mas pulih setelah ayah memanggil penduduk kampung membaca Yasin di rumah kami selama tiga malam berturut-turut.
Ayah dan ibu sering mengingatkan kami supaya membaca ayat Kursi dan empat surah-surah lazim serta dua puluh satu kali Bismillah setiap kali sebelum tidur, sesuatu yang kami amalkan sehingga kini.
Kejadian itu benar-benar memberi kesan kepada kami adik-beradik terutama Kak Mas. Dia berasa menyesal kerana melanggar arahan ayah, namun tidak pernah serik untuk berkelah di pantai. Oleh itu jangan sekali kita membantah larangan ibu bapa. Pasti ada hikmahnya jika kita sentiasa menurut nasihat yang diberikan mereka.

Nicolas Cage purchases haunted house
Nicolas Cage purchases haunted house
Nicolas Cage (Born Nicholas Kim Coppola; January 7, 1964) is a popular American actor, film director, and producer. Cage bought a home in New Orleans, Louisiana which has him so spooked he refuses to sleep there, despite paying nearly $3.5 million (GBP1.9 million) for the estate.
Purchased in 2007, the Lalaurie Mansion is reportedly one of the most severely haunted houses in the U.S. (which Cage knew before the purchase).
Built in the 1830's, the house is right up the street from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's home. Cage says, "(It's) in the Vieux Carre - which is called the French Quarter. It's a very notorious house, it's a very famous house - meaning it's allegedly the most severely haunted house in the United States of America... that's what they tell me. So at any given moment, I have five or six ghosts surrounding the house, all looking up at this haunted temple, and I'm in there. "We'll (my family) come over and have dinner there but nobody sleeps there. I will sleep there, I will at some point - but I'll be alone when it happens... I try not to have a narrow mind about things." Cage insists he's respectful of his haunting guests. He adds: "(I've gotten) five or six requests from parapsychologists' groups to come into the house, and I won't let them in - because of respect. If there's something in there, I don't want them being exploited."
As for the hauntings, there were many reports of paranormal experiences between 1837 and 1932 in the house. In 1920, one resident reported: "There were no other families living here and one night, on the third floor, I saw a man walking carrying his head on his arm." In 1932, the house was being used as a furniture store, and it was reported that the owner "first suspected vandals when all of his merchandise was ruined several times, covered with a foul liquid filth. The owner waited one night with a shotgun, hoping to catch the vandals in the act. When dawn came, the furniture was once again ruined. He closed the place down shortly thereafter."
Actor Nick Cage has bought a landmark New Orleans French Quarter property right up the street from the new home of Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie according to the website Big Time Listings. The Lalaurie House in New Orleans has had a checkered past and according to Wikopedia is considered the most haunted property in all of New Orleans.
The Lalaurie Mansion is reported to be the sight of sadistic acts committed upon their household servants and slaves by Delphine LaLaurie in the 1830’s. These spirits have been haunting the property over the past 100 years according to local reports. The house being haunted may have been the attraction for him as he has previously bought another New Orleans property in the Garden District from noted horror writer Anne Rice.
Cage has also been spooked from a very early age. He once stayed in the attic of the home belonging to his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola. Now he refuses to stay there! The scary encounter happened when he was a child. He said: "I was living in the attic and one night there was this pitch-black silhouette of a woman with big hair. My body froze up, I screamed and then threw a pillow at it!"

Purchased in 2007, the Lalaurie Mansion is reportedly one of the most severely haunted houses in the U.S. (which Cage knew before the purchase).
Built in the 1830's, the house is right up the street from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's home. Cage says, "(It's) in the Vieux Carre - which is called the French Quarter. It's a very notorious house, it's a very famous house - meaning it's allegedly the most severely haunted house in the United States of America... that's what they tell me. So at any given moment, I have five or six ghosts surrounding the house, all looking up at this haunted temple, and I'm in there. "We'll (my family) come over and have dinner there but nobody sleeps there. I will sleep there, I will at some point - but I'll be alone when it happens... I try not to have a narrow mind about things." Cage insists he's respectful of his haunting guests. He adds: "(I've gotten) five or six requests from parapsychologists' groups to come into the house, and I won't let them in - because of respect. If there's something in there, I don't want them being exploited."
As for the hauntings, there were many reports of paranormal experiences between 1837 and 1932 in the house. In 1920, one resident reported: "There were no other families living here and one night, on the third floor, I saw a man walking carrying his head on his arm." In 1932, the house was being used as a furniture store, and it was reported that the owner "first suspected vandals when all of his merchandise was ruined several times, covered with a foul liquid filth. The owner waited one night with a shotgun, hoping to catch the vandals in the act. When dawn came, the furniture was once again ruined. He closed the place down shortly thereafter."
Actor Nick Cage has bought a landmark New Orleans French Quarter property right up the street from the new home of Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie according to the website Big Time Listings. The Lalaurie House in New Orleans has had a checkered past and according to Wikopedia is considered the most haunted property in all of New Orleans.
The Lalaurie Mansion is reported to be the sight of sadistic acts committed upon their household servants and slaves by Delphine LaLaurie in the 1830’s. These spirits have been haunting the property over the past 100 years according to local reports. The house being haunted may have been the attraction for him as he has previously bought another New Orleans property in the Garden District from noted horror writer Anne Rice.
Cage has also been spooked from a very early age. He once stayed in the attic of the home belonging to his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola. Now he refuses to stay there! The scary encounter happened when he was a child. He said: "I was living in the attic and one night there was this pitch-black silhouette of a woman with big hair. My body froze up, I screamed and then threw a pillow at it!"
