TENNESSEE
The Old Electric Chair of Tennessee
To maintain a State tradition, the new electric chair was to contain a piece of wood from the old chair. It seems that the wood used in the construction of the earlier electric chair had actually been salvaged from the State's original gallows, sometime near the turn of the century. As part of "standard operating practice," documentation photos were taken of the old chair just prior to removing any of the original wood. To the amazement of many of the prison officials, and the team working on the project, the photograph contained some very strange, inexplicable images. Within the images there are five identified entities.
The puzzled officials, had the photograph analyzed and authenticated by Eastman Kodak (who did not identify what was photographed) but determined that the images were indeed real and part of the photo negative. While the original exposure was reportedly made under some unique circumstances, when the Execution Technologist tried to duplicate the photographic results even by recreating the exposure conditions, he was never able to reproduce these eerie results.

CENTRAL CITY
Nestled in the Rocky Mountains not too far from the modern city of Denver is the colorful old mining town of Central City. With many quaint and well-preserved buildings, Central City has become a somewhat popular tourist attraction. Although the city is alive with tourist activity during the warm summer months and has a small population of permanent residents, the city also has a small group of vaporous inhabitants as well.
While the vaporous inhabitants have long since "passed over," it would seem to be inappropriate to say that they are deceased since they seemingly carry on their daily lives as though they don’t agree (or admit) that they have died.
In an old saloon on Eureka Street, there is one of the most unusual floor treatments to be found. On the floor in the center of the saloon, there’s an intricate painting of a lovely woman. Over the years, the tavern’s proprietor has carefully and meticulously maintained the painting.
As the tale goes, life was difficult and dangerous in the early years of this old-west mining town. Sickness, injury, and death a well-known and constant threat.
In this story, a miner’s young wife was stricken by "consumption" and while the miner tried to do everything he could think of to help his wife, she slipped into a permanent sleep and died. Incredibly distraught, the miner was known to frequently drink himself into a stupor, and with the understanding sympathy of the saloon owner, painted a portrait of his wife on the barroom floor. As he painted, the miner spoke tenderly of her sweetness, many patrons of the tavern thought it to be almost an incantation, that he had somehow hoped would breathe the life she had lost so young, into the painting. He would drink and paint for days on end, long into the night and well into the next day. On they day he felt the painting was finally complete and reflected his wife’s true beauty, he fell into a deep sleep and never awoke. They buried him the next day in a simple grave next to his beloved wife. To this day, visitors to the saloon insist that on the anniversary of the miner’s death, you can distinctly hear the voices of the couple emanating through the portrait on the floor as they talk tenderly to one other.

Burnt at the Stake, St. Andrews Scotland
St. Andrews has a sinister and violent history. In the days of the Protestant Reformation, religious zealots (Protestant and Catholic alike) committed numerous violent acts against accused heretics, ranging from stabbing to imprisonment and even incineration. The spirit of a young Protestant martyr, Patrick Hamilton, lingers in St. Andrews on the grounds of Scotland’s oldest University. This 21-year-old martyr was burned at the stake as a heretic, and according to local legend, his image is permanently etched in the stone of the tower he was facing when he was burned. I have been there and there is, indeed, an eerie human image imbedded in the stone. On occasion, spooked residents and visitors report a mysterious and nearly inaudible crackling sound accompanied by the unmistakable stench of burning flesh when passing close to the site of Patrick’s incineration.

To nights bed time story
The Water Tower: Chicagoland
A survivor of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Water Tower is perhaps the most famous landmark in Chicago. Standing watch in the heart of the city since 1869 it has been witness to much of the cities turbulent and sometimes sinister past. Constructed of limestone quarried in near-by Joliet, its very fiber is rooted in the area’s past since time began. With such an inexorable link to past memories, is it any wonder that the tower has a few unusual memories of it's own?
It is said that on occasion, in the wee hours of the morning, a gaunt and pale man can be seen peering down into the streets from the windows in the upper floors of the tower. The building is always locked tight and no one is ever found when authorities enter and search the building. It is also reported that at times, passers-by have heard a strange melancholy whistling coming from inside. Legend has it that the tower's inhabitant (or at least this one) is the spirit of a man hanged from the tower for an undisclosed crime he committed in the late 1870's.
Remember when going to bed tonight not to look under your bed! For who knows what unknown legends maybe lurking under there

Looter scared to death
Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself.
When his wife came home and saw him, she fainted. A neighbour, hearing the disturbing, came over and upon finding what she thought were two corpses, took the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked her firmly in the backside.
This so suprised the woman that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter, and he and his wife were reconciled.

Has left lit for the time being and I will try to post stuff for her
Not far from the Marble Arch, in a narrow, winding cobble stone alley behind Hyde Park Corner, is a fashionable and quaint neighborhood pub. The pub, called the Grenadier, is a fragment of London's past that belongs to the Waterloo era. The Grenadier once served as an officers mess for the Duke of Wellington's regiments.
In those days, the main bar was in the cellars with the officers dining room in the pub's main room upstairs. Still in use today, the old pewter bar was moved upstairs and is believed to be the oldest of it's kind in existence.
The story goes that many years ago a young officer was caught cheating in a card game. His companions handed out immediate and brutal punishment of flogging him on the spot. He allegedly stumbled down into the cellars and died. To this day his ghost is said to haunt the pub. The story of the Grenadier haunting is well known, and customers from all over the world have left money attached to the ceiling of the main bar as a tribute. The pub has also been the subject of numerous television and radio programs, and was featured in the movie "Around the World in 80 Days."
The disturbances are most acute in September, which incidentally happened to be the month the young officer was cheating at cards
If I double post sorry

The Underground: London, England
London has several underground stations that have been the subject of some rather peculiar and unnerving phenomenon. Aldgate Station on the Circle Line has had a variety of strange sightings.
At Aldgate the line crosses over older sections of underground rail, and strange sightings are so frequent that they are recorded in the station log.
In one case, a late shift conductor watched as a track worker bent over the rails doing a bit of work. As the man worked, the conductor saw an old woman with white hair gently stroking the back of the man's head. Within the next few minutes the man made a horrible mistake, coming in contact with the deadly 24,000 volt conductor rail. While he was knocked unconscious by the jolt, he was miraculously unharmed. The old woman was believed to have been killed many years before, falling onto a similar rail during the bombing of London in the Second World War. Aldgate station has had many such sightings. Passengers frequently report of hearing footsteps, in the wee hours of the morning, approach them and pass them by with no sign of anyone. Strange and mournful whistling is also reported.
*******************************
.*The Tower of London: London, England
The Tower of London is perhaps one of the most famous castles in all the world, and for several centuries of English history, there was not a more blood-drenched battlement in all of England. As testament to the Tower's violent past, several spectral personalities have walked it's ramparts for nearly 800 years.
One of the earliest recorded sightings occurred in 1241, when 71 years after his murder in Canterbury Cathedral, St. Thomas Becket was seen by priests at the Tower. It is recorded by the priests witnessing the apparition that the Archbishop's spirit apparently objected to expansion work being carried out on the grounds and struck the new walls with a cross, causing them to crumble to the ground.
One of the most frequently reported spectral sightings is of Queen Anne Boleyn, the second of King Henry VIII's wives. Anne Boleyn was one of several of the wives that Henry had beheaded. She has been seen many times over the years by the guardsmen patrolling the grounds. One of the sentries even faced court-martial charges over the spirit. It seems one early morning while on guard duty, he saw a figure in a brown velvet gown emerge from the mist and move toward him. He challenged the figure several times and received no reply. The guard approached with bayonet fixed, and as he did, he noticed that the figure's bonnet appeared completely empty. The figure did not stop advancing, and the soldier ran it through with his bayonet. Bolts of white fire shot back down his rifle knocking him unconscious. Later that morning, his superiors found him and accused him of sleeping on duty; a very serious offense in the military. In his court-martial hearing however, the court had learned that Anne Boleyn's spirit had again been seen just outside the little chapel where she spent her last night before execution.
While there are many more reported specters that inhabit the infamous Tower, one of the most frightening is that of Margaret, Countess of Salisbury. At Margaret's beheading, she managed to get free of her guards and ran screaming through the yard. The ominous masked executioners chased her and when she tripped, dragged her screaming and kicking back to the executioner's block. Margaret screamed and struggled as the men tried to hold her down, causing the executioner's axe to miss three times. By now Margaret had gone completely insane, and fought all the harder. On his fourth try, his axe tore into only half of her throat. Her screams turned into bloody gurgles. On the fifth drop of the axe the executioner found the mark and Margaret's head rolled silently into the basket. Margaret reportedly reenacts her horrific execution every year, on it's anniversary.

This may or may not be urban legends but I thought I'd share it with everyone, lol.
Subject: Top Idiots of 2004
Number One Idiot of 2004
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at thepoison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I
quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and
at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.
Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.
Number Two Idiot of 2004
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it
for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency
locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.
Number Three Idiot of 2004
A true story out of San Francisco: A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the
teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and
that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and
left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.
Number Four Idiot of 2004
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, because I don't believe you are over 21. " The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to
the clerk The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called
the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign!
Idiot Number Five of 2004
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
This guy doesn't need a sign, he probably figured it out himself.
Idiot Number Six of 2004
Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So, he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. It seems the
liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
Oh, that smarts.Give him his sign.
Idiot Number Seven of 2004
Ann Arbor: The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 12:50 A. M., flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked
away.
Sign please.

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at thepoison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I
quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and
at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.
Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.
Number Two Idiot of 2004
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it
for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency
locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.
Number Three Idiot of 2004
A true story out of San Francisco: A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the
teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and
that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and
left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.
Number Four Idiot of 2004
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, because I don't believe you are over 21. " The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to
the clerk The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called
the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign!
Idiot Number Five of 2004
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
This guy doesn't need a sign, he probably figured it out himself.
Idiot Number Six of 2004
Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So, he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. It seems the
liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
Oh, that smarts.Give him his sign.
Idiot Number Seven of 2004
Ann Arbor: The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 12:50 A. M., flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked
away.
Sign please.
Please note that all of the above people are allowed to vote (and breed).
Scary, isn't it?!
I know a few people who need a sign.

Got a whole bunch of those here, lol
Time to find some cool relief...it's around 90 degrees with barely any wind and don't have any a/c so I guess I'll resort to a cold shower to cool off. Until later, if I don't melt in the meantime, lol

The University of Notre Dame: South Bend, Indiana
Founded over one hundred years ago, The University of Notre Dame, has a long and grand tradition of academic excellence. As one might imagine its list of alumni is long and varied with a good number of scholars, athletes, and celebrities, in the mix. As a natural occurrence of life, many of these past alumni have crossed over into the afterlife while other, more restless spirits, have decided to linger.
For example, the ghost of the famous Notre Dame football player George Gipp is said to haunt the stage and greenrooms at the university’s dramatic theater department in Washington Hall.
The ghost has been know to materialize momentarily from time to time and frighten students working on stage sets late into the night. In most cases the student gets a very strange sense that someone is standing behind them, when they glance over their shoulder they catch a fleeting glimpse of the spirit. At other times, people report strange unexplainable noises, like small metal objects being dropped and then scrapped up.
While Gipp was certainly a great football player, he was also known as a bit of the gambler and party hardy type. In Gipp’s day, Washington Hall served as a men’s dormitory, and was the place where George enjoyed much of his rowdy free-wheelin youth.
Now long before the university came into existence, the Patawatami Indians inhabited the area and the shorelines of what is now known as the St. Joseph River. The Patawatami lived here for hundreds of years and they buried their dead in the area of the campus. It is believed that the tribe still inhabits the ground. Ghostly images of these Native Americans, especially in the area around Columbus Hall, have been reported over the years, by many credible witnesses. Columbus Hall is one of the original, early buildings on the campus, on numerous occasions the ghostly figures and their spectral horses, have been seen riding up and down it's stone front steps.

Olivet College - Olivet Michigan
This quaint little Michigan village was founded in 1844 and around the same time, one of the more prominent residents established the small Liberal Arts College of Olivet. Today the campus is quite charming consisting of many old and original buildings with a long, colorful, and mysterious history. Over the last 150 years there have been countless eyewitness accounts of vaporous apparitions and objects materializing and passing through the walls. As convincing evidence that something very unusual occurs at Olivet, photographs have even been taken by startled students and paranormal researchers alike. In a well known photograph taken in one of the old sorority houses, the image of a ghostly face can be seen coming right out of the wall.
At Shipherd’s Hall, campus security guards have been repeatedly shaken up during semester breaks by the sounds of faint music coming from somewhere in the building. Every time they search the deserted building, they are unable to locate the phantom sounds. In several instances, they return to their other duties, only to hear the eerie music again.
Numerous accounts reported at the college seem to have a consistent theme; objects of all descriptions seem to be moved around and rearranged inexplicably. On many occasions students return to their rooms in the evenings and find their things moved or hidden. In several incidents roommates have had heated arguments over this, each accusing the other, only to be stopped mid-debate when they see an object slide across a desk or curtains rustling (when no breeze is present). These strange ghostly events are not isolated to the college grounds, they are also reported by town residents who occupy the older homes throughout the town.
