Ziock Carroll" <crittersrus@centurytel.net> > To: MOCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com > > Darryl ~ Yes I've been to a few of these places & know of a couple of "haunted" places that aren't on the list which I've included at the end of this letter: > > Davisville - Woodlock Cemetery - located on a hill top above the small town of Davisville (really nothing more than a post office) has been the site of many unexplained events.? The cemetery, which is accessible solely via a stone stair case set in the hillside, is often the site of apparitions and strange phenomenon. On the right side of the circular cemetery is the grave adorned with the name of it's occupant and a pentagram set in the stone.? Another occupant sees his last resting place outside the cemetery?s protective circle. Apparitions of people and even a horse have been seen to walk upon the top of the hillside. > > I've been to the Woodlock Cemetery a few years ago. The graves are in a circular pattern & there is a tombstone with a circle/star engraved on it but it is not a pentogram. It is believed to be the symbol of "The Eastern Star" which I think might connect to the Masons. I have been in touch with one of the Woodlock descendants & they say that all of the "haunting" stories are from people going up to the cemetery & getting drunk & telling tall tales. There is a pentogram that someone drew on the back of one of the tombstones & there were a few beer bottles laying around the day that I was there. The Woodlock descendants are very displeased about all notoriety & the authorities have been called numerous times. I was told that someone even tried to dig up Mr. Woodlocks grave. For the Woodlock family history & pictures of the cemetery please go to: http://carrollscorner.net/SitesCrawCo_Index.htm > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` > > Irondale - The Old School - The old school building in Irondale will bring chills over your body just on site. It is said that one day after school a bus stalled on the tracks and an oncoming train smashed into the bus killing all. After that the school was blown up so noone could venture in but they didnt do a good job of destroying it and you can easily get in. > > I've never heard of the Irondale School being haunted. There are pictures of it on my site at: http://carrollscorner.net/SitesWashCo_IrondaleSchool.htm Bettye Warner took the pics & submitted them to me for the page. It looks to me like the old school just fell in from age. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > New Madrid - The Hunter Dawson Home - Several strange stories of hauntings going on at this house by those who are on staff there as well as residents living around the house. > > I toured the Hunter Dawson home many years ago but never heard any haunting stories. But it is a big old house & sure looks like it could & should be haunted. lol > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Palmer - Palmer - an old civil war town that is haunted by the palmer ghost she died in the 1850 supposedly if you say her name three times she will appear and terrorize you. > > I have heard of "The Palmer Ghost" here in Washington County but don't know if it is a he or a she. There have occasionally been newspaper articles in our local paper over the years written by "The Palmer Ghost." There is the grave of a Civil War soldier at Palmer & it is said that sometimes he can be seen walking across the road at night. http://carrollscorner.net/SitesWashCo_Palmer01.htm > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > St. Louis - Lemp Mansion - One of the most haunted buildings in the city. Cold spots, electrical anomalies, feelings of being watched, a piano that plays a note in the night, vibration from the floors, feelings of sadness, tapping on shoulders, and many photographic anomalies, film and digital. > > Spent an afternoon some years ago having lunch with Civil War re-enactors at the Lemp Mansion. Someone told of it's hauntings & at time there did seem to be a feeling of sadness but I never saw any anomolies - thank goodness! If I remember my history right there were several family members who died or committed suicide in the mansion. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > St. Louis - Six Flags Theme Park - There are three known ghosts that haunt this famous theme park. The first one is the ghost of a little girl that has been seen around various areas of the park running around and laughing. The second spirit is a girl named Stella who haunts several of the parks theaters, giving off cold spots and speaking to people. The last ghost to haunt this park is known as The Pigman. He has been spotted on the back service roads late at night and some of the employees have claimed to hear the echoes of pigs squealing in the distance. > > I worked for a time at Six-Flags back in about 1980. Never saw any supernatural happenings but there was a story about an unidentified dead man found in a cabin before Six-Flags was built. Supposedly the location of this cabin was about where the Six-Flags Halloween Haunted House it actually was haunted. I never went there to find out. lol > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Here are two "haunted" spots that aren't on the list: > > The Brinker Cabin that is near the Phelps/Crawford County line is supposedly haunted by the ghost of the Brinker child that was murdered (drowned) by one of the Brinker slaves.

This site is scary! It lists all past addresses, phone numbers, and birthdates! It even has work addresses sometimes. It can give you a satellite photo of your house!

I am sending this to everyone in my address book, and I urge all of you to do the same. Check to see if your name is in this Zabasearch database, which also includes addresses, phone numbers and birth dates. If it's there and you want it removed, send them an e-mail at info@zabasearch.com to request it. They will be launching this site in May for EVERYONE to see!!!
