Oklahoma Paranormal

The abandoned Hospital is haunted. An apparition has been seen in third-floor windows. A general, very strong feeling of fear, doom and terror is present at the hospital, and becomes incredibly strong when photographs are taken.

Update . . . the energy is not as strong as it used to be.  The group who does reseach at the hospital is a very private group. 

 There are many different stories of the spirits that haunt these grounds. Most involving a man that forced entry into the girls mission and brutally murdered the little girls. Walls and trees bleed, ghosts can be seen hanging from trees or sitting in chairs, underground tunnels that lead somewhere but nowhere, and also the spirits are said to protect the near by graveyard. One incident a couple of young kids intrigued by the place thought it would be a good Halloween gag and got more than they bargained for when they tried to take a vase from a grave their car would not start upon returning the vase their car started with no problem. They will not return to this day.

 Very creepy old school. Overgrown weeds, vines, and bushes surround the building. Two rooms are very cold and breezy even on nights where it's warm, humid, and not windy. One room, if you spend about 20 minutes in it, you'll hear a man screaming by the door that leads to the gymnasium. Old pair of shoes (60's style?) appear and disappear. Sounds of a motorcycle idling outside of the building but you can only hear it if you're inside.

Near Chikasaw National Recreational area there is a small, well kept public lake. Stories vary regarding the origination of the haunting. One story concerns a young mother. She looked away for a moment and her son had gone under.....he never re-surfaced. The mother died in an attempt to rescue him. It is said that on certain nights she can be seen gliding upon the lake's surface. Some even say that she tries to lure unsuspecting lake-goers into the water either in an innocent attempt to help find her son or for other, more malicious purposes, depending on which version of the story you choose to believe. There was also a teenage girl who died in a boating accident on the lake a few years ago....some credit her as the ghost of Veteran's Lake. Whatever one chooses to believe, this is a beautiful, if eerie, location by the light of day.....and the peculiar feeling of unease only increases by night.

The old Indian cemetery in Tahlequah is a constant source of strange occurrences, sightings of apparitions, and just plain spooky feelings. Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee nation, in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, and is where the sad trail of tears episode in American history finished up...where a quarter of the displaced Native Americans died on the forced march. In the cemetery you immediately feel you are being observed, weird unfilled graves will appear and be gone, sobbing and strange winds are common, and for some reason a dark man dressed in 1930's clothes will sometimes be seen...at times angry and giving chase to visitors at night.

The Stone Lion Inn has been built twice.  The second is the one that still stands.  Built in 1907 by the Houghton family.  The house was built bacause the family grew to twelve children and the family needed more room.

They had a little girl who died before moving into the new house.  She took ill with whooping couch.  It is said that the maid overmedicated her with cough sprup accidentaly killing her.  Her ghost moved into the new house with her family and is still there.

In the 1920's, the Smith's funeral home leased the house.  The upstairs became there living area while the first floor and basement was use as a mortuary.  It is believed that the kitchen was used to do the embalming.  They left an embalming table behind which is still used today in the house as a cart to hold refreshments for the guests staying at the Inn.  Possibly the basement was used to bring in and take out the bodies.

It is now a bed and breakfast and the embalming table sets in the hallway next to the stairs.

We had recently moved into this rent house and I was painting the children rooms.  While painting my son's room in the back of the house.  I happened to look outside the door into the hall.  And standing in the doorway watching me was a woman dressed in closths from the late 1800's.  She was wearing a long full dress and a bonnet.  I said hello and  turned back to my painting.  After a minute I turned and looked out into the hallway and she was gone.

Legend says that at midnight on the night of the full moon you can see a woman walking up and down the road, East Walnut Road.  She can be seen carring a candle in one hand and a flower in the other.  It is said that she is looking for husband who left town with another woman.

The old court house and an old holding cell is still standing. There is a square area of flowers where the hanging tree used to be. 

To the north and across the creek is an old cememtery.  It is said that if you take a audio recorder you will get the sound of a heart beat.  There is also a ghostly presence.

Legend has it back in 1974 a young lady was raped and murdered in the dorms.  It is said that on Saturdays in November she can be seen wandering around screaming.

Construction began in 1902 and was finish in 1907.  However just six months before contruction was complete Mr. Bayless, the owner, died.  His surviving family finished the contruction and moved into the mansion.

In the 1930's it was sold and was turned into apartments.  In 1991 the Pogers County Historical Society bought the mansion and restored it ot it's orginality.

People have reported seeing Mr. Bayless and his family still living in the mansion. There are reports of actual sightings of figures, hot and cold spots, and toilets that fluch by themselves. There have been sighting of children playing and of a disraught young woman.  It is said that the woman lived there during the 1940's in an apartment and she committed suicide.
