You should look into Eastern State Penitentiary and Waverly Hills Sanitorium, the latter of which is less than 3 miles from my house. They are both a couple of the most haunted places in America, and they have both been featured multiple times on different paranormal investigations. Waverly was where the show Ghosthunters televised live investigations on Halloween night twice. I must admit, I do have a very personal connection to Waverly Hills. Both of my parents worked there at separate times before they ever met. My dad worked there first, between the time Waverly closed in 1961 and before it reopened as Woodhaven Geriatric Center in 1962. He was security and walked what is known as the "Death Tunnel" or "Body Chute" to make sure no one was trying to sneak into the former TB hospital. My mother then worked there as a nurse's assistant sometime between 1974 and 1980 for a few years. Woodhaven closed in 1982 due to patient neglect (by official reports). They housed the physically disabled, dementia patients, and the mentally disabled. My mom told me of snakes getting into the building quite often, doctors and nurses taking patients to the fifth floor (which was STRICTLY OFF LIMITS to ANYONE else, including other staff) and doing some messed up stuff to them, and a mentally disabled lady that NO ONE ever wanted to attend to because she would save ALL of her poop and LAUNCH it at anyone who was stupid or fearless enough to open her door.
I wanted to answer your question no it’s the Cecil hotel in Los Angeles, California. That’s haunted where a girl named Elisa was talking to somebody while she was in the elevator, but there were cameras that showed nobody and she started freaking out looking in and out and the door is closed and she disappeared and then I think it was two weeks later, the water coming out of the sink in the hotel rooms were given a bad smell and color and they went to go check on the tanks and there she was but they don’t know if it was suicide or homicide because the covers are very very heavy on those tanks and they don’t know how she could’ve lifted it put herself inside pull that thing down when it takes three men to open it and then drown herself! It made zero sense
I used to live not too far from Skinwalker Ranch. What I wanted to share with you, is that a local science teacher was first contacted to investigate the mysterious happenings at the ranch. His name was Joseph Junior Hicks. He and a friend of his were also contacted frequently about UFO sightings. So frequently in fact, that they wrote a book back in the 1950’s about Utah UFO’s. Joseph Junior Hicks was my uncle. He often told us about things he had witnessed. His son has his Dad’s notes and still follows up on reports that he receives. Uncle Junior, became such an expert on UFO’s and supernatural events that he would get calls from all over the world. You can search Skinwalker Ranch and/or Joseph Junior Hicks for more information. I will tell you, that my Uncle Junior was one of the kindest, most honest and amazing man I have ever known.
I lived a couple miles down the road from Ringing Rocks. It's actually a Boulder field left by a glacier. These rocks are all over the area but this small section is on state owned land. The real creepy thing is that if you take one out of its Boulder field, they won't ring unless you get a bunch of them together.
"Skinwalker" is a creature from Navajo myth. They were shamans who, after conducting a dark ritual, could take on the forms of animals, or even other people, by putting on their skins.
Been camping near there several times and all I saw was nature. But I am a hardcore sceptic about that stuff. Someone else might have said they felt something because they thought they would
Hey Lewis the weirdest parts about the Coral Castle is, the castle has a 4ton rotating door made of solid coral that was so perfectly balanced you could open it with one finger, that is until the door needed repairing a few years ago and the parks dept couldn't get it sat back, exactly balanced. Another strange occurrence was when Ed Leedskalnin moved the castle to where it sits today. He told the truck driver to leave the big truck/trailer and pick it up the next day. The truck driver left to get lunch but had forgotten something so he came back 30min later and was shocked to find the huge trailer was already loaded with the castle's largest coral blocks!! 😳
You're thinking of the Hotel Cecil in downtown LA where the girl in the water storage was found. That was partially the inspiration for American Horror Story: Hotel. I've stayed at the Roosevelt hotel. The only annoyance I encountered was the loud music from the bar downstairs when I was trying to sleep. There are so many other, more interesting mysterious places than the ones mentioned in that video. For instance, the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz which is a total mind f*k or even the Winchester Mystery house to name a few.
Yeah, Hotel Cecil (also a temporary stomping grounds for, among other serials, Richard Ramirez; The NightStalker), and was renamed after the Elisa Lam incident and is now sporting the new name of "Stay on Main"... Right at the edge of the beginning/end of the notoriously infamous area known as, "Skid Row". The "Roosevelt" is more of conspiracy laden hotel, said to have been home to many a backroom 'handshake' deals of Political and Illegal business dealings, which may or may not have resulted in both extortion, bribery, and 'hitman for hire/rival assassination plots etc., The place for the speakeasy crowd of politicians and authorities whom were' on the take' and mobsters plotting out Under-the-Table re-zoning, 'incentivized' union busters, Post-Roaring 20's Prohibition era bootlegging... and on and on and on... D'Alesandro Family knows... Hi Nancy!
Lots of caves to, tons of disappearances overlap with cave systems we know, and those are just the systems we know of, it's conjectured there's a lot of underground tunnels that haven't been documented.
I have been to the White Eagle. The bartender there was actually one of the best mixologists I have ever had. Now watch me find out that no one by his name works there.😱
We used to have lots of fun at the White Eagle. Go to the Roseland for a concert and come to the White Eagle for drinks and a post show, then crash upstairs. That is how we used to do it. Now that McMenamins built their hotel, we go there now because we're getting old and staying up late for the post show is HARD.
I don't travel much, but a couple years ago I did a road trip hitting all the Civil War battlefields that I could in the days I had. All of them had an affect on me. However, When I got out of the car in the parking lot at Shiloh Battlefield in Tennessee, there was a physical feeling that was different. The wind was blowing the tall golden grass in waves and there was total silence otherwise, no people. It felt like a wave of grief, I guess. I was awed and almost felt like I should humble myself and even bow down. It was something.
Every time my husband and I drive pass Antietum battlefield we get sick to our stomachs. Always change our route. Wondering if you went near there and experienced anything odd?
@@tammycallahan9160 I know we went there, but it must not have had the affect of Shiloh. I'll have to get my pictures out to see if it helps me remember.
I felt something like that at Gettysburg on cemetery ridge and at the open field where pickets charge occurred. If imagine Antietam and Shilo would have similar eeriness. Certain places are stained forever with the horrors of war.
The case you’re thinking of was the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. My partner was a health inspector who worked on the case. I lived 1/2 block from the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for 1 1/2 years in the late 80s. It’s beautiful inside. A beautiful courtyard too.
I live in LA and I've only ever heard the Roosevelt is really nice. None of the spooky stuff. I've been to an event there but never spent the night. The Cecil on the other hand is creepy af and everybody thinks that.
I don't think I would own the house on Waverly Dr. in Los Feliz where the Manson family murdered Leo and Rosemary Labianca. It's too bad because the city has old Spanish Colonial homes and high-end real Estate. Hollywood Hill or Benedict Canyon either.. I guess I watch too many Hollywood documentaries.. LOL
He did not mention it but, the guy moved coral castle once as well...The whole castle. He loaded the trucks one large stone at a time but, would not let the drivers ever see him load the stones or remove them.
Personally, I think watching a video of Lewis spending a night in the abandoned asylum would be as entertaining as any food reaction video he might make in the future.....and the part about an operator calling rooms in the Roosevelt hotel to ask if they need help and then denying it happened would be a brilliant marketing ploy for a purportedly haunted hotel.
Let's do some ghostbusting. I'll need someone to bring a diesel generator, a couch, and a coffee table. I'll bring the TV, Blu-Ray player, and movies. If ghosts do exists, we'll either drive them off watching Ghostbusters all night, or make some new friends.
Rock geek here. Happy excited me went to Sedona to look at pretty rocks. Had an indigenous Navajo Nation guide. As soon as I got to Sedona something changed inside. Cried uncontrollably the entire week of vacation. Continued to cry for another 2 weeks. It was bizarre. Went to look at pretty rocks not on a spiritual journey. Those vortex things messed me up. Freaks me out even twenty years later. Like I mentioned, had an Indigenous Navajo Nation guide. He said I was feeling the collective pain of Earth. If that's true, Earth is inconsolable.
Not a full believer and the show is probably edited to keep you watching, but the things that they document, that are recored in real time makes you wonder. 1 or 2 weird things are ignorable, 10+ and its less easy to brush off as nothing is going on. Probably not aliens, but something suspect.
I’ve been to Sedona. It definitely has an energy field (and I’m not a yoga type). I went on a group hike. The guide took us up on a rock and played a flute. It was cool. On the way down, I saw the twisted trees. At the end of tours, people usually disperse and go their separate ways. For some reason we decided to. Find a restaurant and have dinner together. It was a special evening with a group of strangers enjoying each other’s company.
I'm from and live in Philadelphia - 45-60 minutes from Ringing Rocks Park. It's f'ng scary! Seriously, if you spend any time outdoors, hearing the rocks for the first time, even if you know what to expect, is eerie as hell.
I wrote in a post yesterday on your channel about Sedona, AZ being my favorite place ever, not just because of the beauty, but the feeling I get there. I couldn't explain it, but it was incredible. After like my 2nd time going and talking about it to a few people, a couple of them mentioned it was probably ley lines and energy votexes they'd heard existed there. I'm no woo woo new age person, no drugs... nothing "different". I'd never even heard about those things before, but I can personally attest to what that place does and how it makes you feel... It's wonderful.
Lewis; I think you'll have to get your nerve up to be an honorary American. So many Americans rush bravely (maybe stupidly) into dangerous or spooky situations.
Yes, the Skinwalker Ranch is creepy as hell. The problem for me is that I am fascinated by it and can't stay away. I've been there about a dozen times, because it's only about a 2 hour drive from my house in salt lake city.
Probably because of the fact they promote it falsely. It’s most known for the story about the slave who killed the mother and children by accidentally adding too much oleander in a birthday cake and instead of making them sick, they died. This story has been proven to be false as well as the story of the mirror, which wasn’t even purchased until 1970. They do have a very interesting history, but they didn’t feel it was enough and made up some stories that never happened. Any historian can debunk the story very easily, or a genealogist. The fact that they are lying about the history to gain tourist is just plain wrong.
I've driven all over this country. Out of all the places I drove to, there were only 2 places my GPS completely didn't work. Those 2 places were Skinwalker Ranch and Area 51. I was in a lot of other places that were in the middle of nowhere for hundreds of miles, and my GPS always worked. Even places I lost phone service like I couldn't make calls or use Internet, I still always had GPS working. It was a bit difficult to leave Skinwalker Ranch without the GPS because it's like a maze of dirt roads out there. Area 51 wasn't as bad because there was only 1 way in, 1 way out.
I live about 15 minutes from Weston in West Virginia and they have the ghost tours open at the Trans Allegheny Asylum around Halloween. I would never set foot in there but have friends that go every year to do the tours. You should check out the episode on Ghost Hunters as it’s one of the most haunted places in America. I don’t know if it is but I don’t want to find out. Also I would love for you to create a line of merch with a shirt saying Whaaaat?! It cracks me up every time you say that with your accent! It sounds so exaggerated. I love it hahaha
A show on the History Channel called "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" has 3 or 4 season aired. Awesome!! NASA Scientist, computer surveillance expert, security, etc. Many cool experiments!!
Read the skinwalker book by george knapp. He was there for the first experiments after the owners sold the property. It keeps leading down more rabbit holes!
I have seen several videos of people investigating Skinwalker Ranch and it's freaky, lots of investigators have been scared out of there by coming face to face with a skinwalker.
I stayed in the Roosevelt Hotel once about 20 years ago on a school trip (we performed in the Hollywood Christmas Parade). One of the girls I was rooming with and I were heading downstairs and waiting in the tiled elevator lobby for the elevator and we heard what sounded like high heels clicking on the hard floor beside us. We looked around and no one else was out on the whole floor, and the halls beyond the elevator lobby were all carpeted. It's my one and only ghost story in my life.
I grew up on a farm and us kids were the rock pickers…as the field was ploughed we’d pile the rocks on the edge of the field to give the crops and machinery clear land…every season more rocks were found and piled. Some rocks were moved by tractors. So this seems normal to me the rock wall.
I am from EL Paso, Texas and I have been to Taos, New Mexico. I was there to visit my brother and his family. One night I heard a sound and I asked my brother what it might have been. He told me that I heard the Taos sound that a lot of people say they hear.
Lewis, you have to go to New Orleans when you're in the States and take a ghost tour there. The food there is unique and the history is amazing. If I were you, that's where I'd start.
I've been to Devil's Punchbowl in Oregon numerous times. Just because someone gives an area a fanciful name to attract tourists doesn't mean that it's actually evil.
What about the mystery spot in California? Check that place. Trees grow strangely, gravity works in reverse, water is poured down, then it stops abd goes back up . Many strange hsppenings there
The White Eagle Saloon is truly haunted! Ive been there and i am a sensitive to the supernatural. I was scratched on my back, i heard disembodied voices, things thrown by unseen forces and so on. I will never go back!
I love watching ghost hunting videos! I even took my mom on a ghost hunt at an asylum in Missouri with my mom last year for mother's day. It was awesome. I'd love to go on more.
At 6:10 regarding the Coral Castle. Apparently Leedskalnin was considering sharing the secrets. But people kept trying to steal the secret and newspapers wrote hit pieces about black magic. So instead he destroyed the box and his notes and refused to answer any questions about it in a useful way.
I was in Sedona last April with one of my sisters. Lovely area. Great hiking. Something of a New Age mecca. Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona I visited in 1988, and it was an intense experience. At some point, sitting there in the chapel, I just started weeping and couldn't say why. The Chapel is another 'mini-vortex' and worth a visit if you're ever in Sedona.
I'm one of the unfortunate people who is sensitive to the Taos hum. I went through on a road trip, and it disoriented me and made me physically ill. Everything felt wrong and too close to me, and I'm not claustrophobic. I had to get away from there. I got a nosebleed at one point as we were driving out of the area. Never going back there.
I lived in apartments right next to Coral Castle when I graduated HS. People would break-in at night pretty often. They would perform weird religious ceremonies. Mostly Santería and Voodoo. Dead chickens and goats were fairly common.
I had a book called, "The Cemetery Book" about famous worldwide 🌐 cemeteries, tours and travel clubs. First time I ever heard about people collecting "rubbings" of famous headstones 🪦 and creating photo albums of famous gravesites. In LA there used to be a "Hearse" tour to various famous celebrities. You do ride around in one.😮
I have seen things unbelievable in many different areas. Go to Boston where they had the Witch Trials or to the Plantations of the Old South, lots of ghostly things there.
Love going on ghost tours and stuff. Having lived in a couple of haunted houses (one with a more sinister entity that we had to get rid of) you get used to it. I like seeing the ghost tours because I can tell the difference when the unseen are present. Keeps me on my toes and I can take the time to pray for the souls of those that have yet to move on.
In idaho we had to go out every spring on the farm fields to pick out big rocks that would affect the farming process. We then stacked them in an unused section in rows the same way.
I've been to the White Eagle, it's now owned by a local chain that tends to buy historical haunted places. You can rent guest rooms that are upstairs still. They often have bands that play there on weekends and some weeknights. The Shanghai tunnels are famous in Portland, the most drunk and the people who stayed the latest would get shanghai'd and be forced to work on the ships crews. If you go to McMenamins and search for the White Eagle, you can see it looks vastly different from what it's portrayed. My husband used to sleep there at times when we were first dating because you can get a full bed with bath for fairly cheap.
I live about an hour away from where Shawshank Redemption was filmed. The Mansfield Reformatory, my brother worked there for a summer and he's not a believer. He is now.
I love scary and unexplained things. One example is when I was in high school a few of us went to an abandoned house out in the country. We were about 30’ into the house when I took off running ahead of them finding a closet to hide in so I could scare them once they came into the same room as me. It was pitch dark and we had no flashlights. I was laughing on the inside hearing them cuss me out cuz they knew my plan. I waited for a few more minutes realizing it was complete silence. I then realized they said to hell with me and all of them went outside. I realized the tables had turned and I was inside a damn closet to an abandoned house. I exited the closet extremely fast and came out the front door even faster causing me to not even put one foot on the steps that took you from the porch to ground level. I will still hide in the dark if I have a chance of scaring my friends & family. I’m two months away from 57 so I have lots of practice and good stories. I’ve also seen ghosts, spirits, entities, or whatever you wish to call them. I refuse to run from them. It’s not in my blood to run.
As far as haunted hotels go, one of the best is right here in my home state of Arkansas: the Crescent Hotel, in Eureka Springs. Labeled America’s most haunted hotel, it’s really a neat place to visit, along with the whole city of Eureka Springs, a quirky little Victorian town in the Ozarks. The hotel was a top-of-the-line luxury hotel in 1886 when it was built, but it’s had a strange history, as a girls college for a while, and later, in the 1930’s it was a fake cancer hospital, run by a quack “doctor” to scam desperately ill people out of all their money and leave them to die in misery. (The basement was the morgue, btw.) They do ghost tours that are also full of history, as well as a campfire ghost story time out on the lawn. It’s also just a really beautiful old hotel, full of history, in a beautiful, interesting little old town in the hills. (Plus, they always have a resident cat or two; always scores points with me.
Sometimes I don't know what's better about these videos the interesting material or your genuine reactions 😂 they are hilarious sometimes thanks for the laughs keep up the good work
When I was in my thirties, I had a buddy that loved the White Eagle, so I have been there many times. It had a few sketchy biker's dues, but no ghost. I would not have gone there in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Portland has a huge number of tunnels under the city and bars like the White Eagle had trap doors where drunk men would be trapped and forced to work on ships leaving the port. Sometimes they would be held in the tunnels for days or even weeks. It was its own little world.
You see the fan like tree standing tall over the wall? It's called a compass tree. No matter how or where you plant it, the fan spreads opens east and west.
There's some slight misinformation here. Lobotomies and Electroconvulsive Therapy are still used in rare cases. Lobotomies are the last ditch effort when all other therapies have failed. ECT is still used in over 100,000 cases per year, though it's nothing like the movies like to make it out. For some people these are literally the only thing that can help them.
10:47 In Michigan, USA, we had a super huge mental asylum with underground passageways to many buildings. (get's cold here) Daring teen urban explorers, including me used to explore there. It was creepy but I never had a paranormal experience. So much stuff was left there: Patient files, dentist chairs, etc. They knocked most of it down and left one building for guided ghost tours.
Been to Sedona several times. The main attractions are a huge tourist traps but if you go off the beaten track it's amazing. Idk about any energy vortexes. I never felt anything like that but it's so beautiful I can see why people would think that. I live in LA and been to events in the Roosevelt Hotel. It's beautiful and super expensive. None of the locals take any of the haunting stuff seriously. I would never spend the money to stay there so I guess I'll never know.
I go on ghost tours on a regular basis. I have participated in several ghost hunts, and was lucky enough to meet Ed and Loraine Warren when I was in high school and go on a tour of a famously haunted cemetery in CT with them!
I’ve been to the White Eagle Saloon many times. It’s by where I used to live and work. We went there on our lunch breaks a lot. I didn’t think it was particularly creepy, but the McMenamins own it now, and rumour has it they only buy haunted places. I can confirm the stories about the Shanghai tunnels. I have worked in several bars that have them in the basements. They’re mostly bricked up now, but they used to give tours through some that still went through. It is creepy down there, and we used it as a Green Room for bands. Heard some weird stuff through the amps.
Hello! I live near Ringing Rocks park in Pennsylvania. My kids used to love scrambling all over the rocks and hitting them with a hammer on weekend visits. It's a shame he didn't show any pictures of the large 7 acres / 2.83 hectare field of boulders. (The boulders in the field are piled about 10 feet / 3 meters deep).
You picked a good one because this guy who's narrating for you sounds believable and seems to care. I've lived in the United States practically all my life and I'm 60. I didn't know about this guy. One guy moving all that stuff and creating weightless "buildings" with boulders from pyramid secrets should have been on my radar. My mind's blown or there was more to the story and it's a myth. I could be stupid but I watch a lot of RU-vid. 😏🤔🥴
As an amateur ghost hunter I love ghost tours. I have done several ghost hunts and would love to do a ghost hunt at Waverly Hiss sanatorium in Louisville Kentucky
If you ever want creepy you should come to my neck of the woods. Appalachia, once you get away from the towns and cities, is creepy as hell at night. I've lived in the region my whole life, but when it's totally dark and silent it still creeps me out sometimes.
I may have mentioned this before, but you should Google America's Stonehenge. You'll find it is in New Hampshire, it's carbon dated to over 4000 years and it's on dry ground.
Seems to me that anytime I heard of carbon dating, it was the results of samples taken from the hearth or immediately around it. That would suggest firewood and bones, both of which were once alive!
As a kid i used to play on the hillsides around here. There were a lot of paths going up and down them from people(mostly teenagers) either getting drunk or high. One day i decided to go exploring off the path and i will remember this till the day I die. There was a little clearing in the woods. A small grassy area.. At first i was amazed. Then as i stood there i started to feel afraid. Something wasn't right. I can't even explain the feeling of dread and trepidation that came over me👀
I live about two hours from Weston, WV and have toured the asylum. There’s also an old prison in Moundsville WV that has ghost tours. I’ve seen some weird stuff in there.
I grew up around/near "Skinwalker" ranch. You generally don't talk about the experiences you have. It's considered bad luck, taboo. If you talk about it, bad or worse things seem to follow. BTW, it's not just the ranch but the entire basin. Actually a lot of Utah to be honest. I'm not saying I believe but if my native friend tells me that I place I planning to go camping isn't a place I should spend the night. I moving my campsite. You can see and hear some strange things in the night when your out in the desert.
Sedona is AMAZING!!We’re going back for a couple of weeks soon. Sound bowl therapy, reiki, hiking, shaman tours…. I’m scheduled for past life regression this trip
With all the areas of our oceans that are still unknown, why do we feel the need to explore space? Why dont we focus on exploring the planet we are already on first?
@@Myomer104 it just seems we should be exploring the planet we are already on and finding out what other resources are here first. Its just my personal opinion.
adding the Sundown Wilderness and Slide Mountain Region of new york. Some of the oldest forests in the world are in the state. There is something unsettlingly of it being the sunniest days and I walk my dog and see a what might aswell be a lightless forest due the canopy being so thick.
I have gone ghost hunting many times. Taken some ghost tours as well. We have a place in eastern Ohio called Salt Fork State Park that has had a lot of Bigfoot sightings. We have been there a lot too.
