Where Is The Best Place To Encounter A Ghost?

I suppose it’s the same that you don’t need to be in a church or temple to talk to God.

Pluckley is the name of the village.

Anywhere, if you stop taking your meds.

I’d suggest checking out your library for books on local haunted places. There are some really interesting books out there depending where you live. I’ve apparently been in a number of haunted places but I never really noticed anything… most of the time.

Of course it could just be my mind playing tricks on me but I prefer to believe in ghosts. At least I haven’t encountered malevolent ones!

Find the local “murder house,” and hang around there some dark and stormy night.

Also, ghosts (and all other supernatural creatures) tend to be attracted like flies to “necking” teenagers. So bring some of them along.

If you are in southern california i can give you directions to a catholic preschool that was abandoned in the early 20th century. I went a few weekends ago and got the shit scared out of me. Try going in the middle of the night… theres this abandoned school bus, and theres like a chalkboard with writing on it and desks… weird wires all over the place. Might sound corny, but its about half the size of a normal high school. Trust me, i dont get scared really easily, and i was glad to get the hell out of there.

…Because the calls were coming from inside the bus!

All of these are good. Look for locations that you can affix at least one the following adjectives to: Creepy, Overgrown and Abandoned to increase your chances. Preferably late at night when there’s a lot of fog about and a waning moon.
Leave out the battlefields. The most interesting thing that tends to take place there are historical reenactments by a bunch of living people on the weekends.

For ghosts you want to go to Borely Rectory in Essex. The rectory has a very long history of supposed ghosts which include faces at windows and in walls, walking nuns and headless coachmen, the usual creepy banging and whispering noises, a ‘sinister’ fire, and messages written on walls.

It’s actually very interesting. I did a project on it when I was about 11 and read every single thing available about it. My (long suffering) parents even drove me there so we could have a look round the village.

You must get pretty scared when the short bus comes by to pick up the special kids… :smiley:

In the same place they keep the scalar weapons.

Bot difficult to walk around Borely Rectory I would think, since it was burned to the ground a good while ago.

Here’s a website on the small village of PLuckley and it’s 17 ghosts:

Most headphones wouldn’t be able to do 19 hz. There are probably even subwoofers that couldn’t do 19 hz.

Good link.

Sheesh, Dopers!

A ghost town, of course!

That’s a link to Tennessee’s most famous ghost. I first heard about it forty years ago when I went to college in Nashville. Creepy place, I am told.

And then there’s always:

That’s the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast. You can even sleep in one of the murder rooms.

The Colonial Inn in Concord, Massachusetts has a very distinguished ghost, but I’m not allowed to talk about it.

I think you’re confusing ghosts with machete-wielding, hockey mask-wearing serial killers…

:wink:

The…OH! The 1920’s Style Death Rays! Silly me!

Yes.

Isn’t that what I said?
