I thought this would be a interesting question to ask all of you, "What places have you been to or investigated that are rumored/reported to have activity but to your observations didn't?"
I know most of you will disagree but I've been to alcatraz....felt nothing...although Kayla had an experience with smelling food in the kitchen area
I've also been to the Winchester Mystery House....really thought that was more of an attraction and less of a haunt. Interesting house, but didn't get much there either.
I agree about WMH, but on a tour of Alcatraz I did sense something in one of the solitary confinement cells, only to find out on a TV program that someone mysteriously died in that cell one night with no explainable cause. Other than that, the rest of the tour was just interesting from a historical standpoint alone.
I think it is almost a given that most B&B's that say they are haunted are just trying to get more guests.....at least some of them....
I also didn't get a haunted vibe from the Queen Mary when I went there....of course I was only there for about an hour...

a restaurant up here in Toronto, was rumored as being haunted, so went there for a late night dinner..name escapes me at the moment, but many paranormal teams here in Toronto have reported activity..for myself nothing..will add name of place when i remember it....okay that took 3 seconds to remember as im a steak lover...its called the Keg Mansion..was a mansion at one time then was sold to Mr.. massey owner of massey ferguson, his wife died in the house and the maid hung herself in the foyer, mr. massey also owned the old massey hall music hall, were i myself have been many times for rock concerts
two apparations have been seen, one hanging in a noose...also laughter of children on upper floors playing, the other apparation is of a small boy. lights have also been known to go off and on..now the keg mansion is a well know restaurant and very busy, which i have gone to many times..just to eat and party or for my birthday..considered one of the lovliest restaurants because not much has changed..its huge...alot of the original wood and objects are still there...all the rooms upstairs are now comfortable dinning area's and some are privite dinning areas for parties..and well the steak just melts in your mouth..and dang the marguritas are to die for especially the coconut cream pie drink...restaurant is located on yonge st..which is considered the most visited street and longest street in toronto, i hung out there as a teenager just walking the lenghth of the street and bar hopping lol
i've been out on quite a few hunts..where others swear they heard something, or felt something.. but me? nada. however, one never knows. we are not all open to receiving, and i heard..once you go out more, you eventually open up.
well.. the team went to a popular restaurant/lounge with a dance club upstairs, in a heritage building (ok as my city is quite young, 100 years is considered heritage!), The Century. anyways, the team had been to this particular spot several times before. claims of a woman haunting a downstairs washroom, as she had committed suicide there perhaps 20yrs earlier (when it was a bank). not much more to the story. we spent an hour waiting to get in, in the pouring rain.. the owner was late. so already it started off sour. what i couldn't believe was how dirty the entire place was! great shots for dust! 😉 haha.. felt nothing, saw nothing, caught nothing on evp.. just a big blank zero. i usually get antsy or creapy crawly on my neck. nothing. for me a disappointment. the team then told me previous investigations came up with nothing as well. mmm.. perhaps this lady had moved on? or it was just a story to create business?

I too went to the Winchester House, a couple of winter's ago, I am an enthusiast of old Victorian houses, haunted or not, I also got nothing as we were walking through the house, as I passed through one of the rooms I got the feeling that I always get when in an active place, it was so strong that i had to double back and make sure that i was feeling what i knew i was feeling. The Rains House in Rancho Cucamonga, my group had a meet up there, as usual I was the first one there, I got nothing i had about 20 minutes of walking around the perimeter of the house, peeking into the windows, the place was closed because they were repaving the parking lot, a fact that would have been nice to know about in advance.
Pine Barrens though it has an erie feel because of the dead like trees and stuff. I was 16/17 at the time when we went canoeing and I didn't see anything to suggest a haunted presence or the legend of the N.J. Devil. The staff tried to scare us by pretending that they saw something and this was getting dark so yeah it was scary, but we calmed down.

I have not been there myself but had friends go there. The place is boarded up , roofs caving in and just looks freaky.
Some of the reports are:
~Furnace explosion back in the '60s that killed several children, a few teachers and a janitor.
~The Principal was a cannibal, and that students who fell asleep in class were sent to him, and that he then gutted and hung them in the closet of an unused room.
~The Principal went on a crazed killing spree.
~The janitor went on a crazed killing spree.
~The school's principal and a teacher were having an extramarital affair, and, unable to escape their marriages, committed a dual-suicide in the principal's office.
~Site of Satanic rituals intended to summon demons.
~It is said to be a Seminole Indian Burial Ground.
But there's no records to back up the following so its just urban legend.
Aargh! Every place I go I get no feelings of them being haunted! I am hoping to experience the same that you all are able to feel at least sometimes!
🙁
Eh the bank brewary (A micro brew bar former first interstate bank.) was post to be haunted, but nothing happens there any time I go there when its closed. Its so dull the last two times I didnt even bring a camera or any gear cause I knew nothing would happen..Sure enough nothing what so ever. There are sounds that people hear echoing through the building, but thats the brewing operation causing it.

Actually there is some truth to that I believe. Its not like they hang out at the local ghost bar. I believe they are everywhere. And they are trying to communicate with us the best they can. I feel they have no clue as to what happen or how to get out of where they are. Hence why alot of my EVP's are Help me's. But thats my opinion.
I have been to the Culbertson Mansion in New Albany, Indiana many times. There are many stories about paranormal activity surrounding the place. It is a beautiful mansion, but I have never felt anything there. I even went on the Halloween tour several years ago and I could not feel anything there at all. Even police officers have had some interesting experiences with the alarms and seeing someone walking on an upstairs proch. I was disappointed to say the least. 🙁
I believe that all places are haunted. Some places that are supposed to be haunted just tend do be more active.
Very true, bkiff! But, still disappointing at times.
