I can't remember if I've ever put this through the list or not. If I haven't - here it is. If I have - here it is again. lol AINT NO HAINT GONNA RUN ME OFF! By: Esther M. Ziock Carroll Some years ago when I was still with the local historical society and was still a volunteer tour guide for some of the historic buildings in Potosi an incident occurred one Sunday afternoon. Gene and I were scheduled to staff the Banta House in Potosi as tour guides. We obtained a key and at the designated time unlocked & opened the house for tours. No tourists had yet arrived so we were planning on sitting on the nice shady front porch for the afternoon waiting for any tourists that might want to take a tour. This big, beautiful Victorian style home was built in the 1860's over an old, dingy stone cellar or basement which had been the cellar to a previous house on that same lot. The Banta House has several large rooms on the first and second floors and a small stairway leading from the trunk room upstairs to a dusty, spooky old attic. The house is furnished with beautiful antique beds, chairs, large wardrobes, steamer trunks and other furniture. Over the more than 130 years of the home's existence at least five family members died in the house. The Banta house is rumored to be haunted so anytime I gave a tour through the house I always mentioned this in the tour dissertation. I thought it kind of added a bit of mystery to the place and the tourists seemed to enjoy the tour more, sometimes even making humorous comments about bodies in the trunks, etc. Well, after Gene and I opened the house that day Gene started putting some chairs on the front porch while I went waaaaaaaay to the back of the house to the kitchen to see if there were any sodas in the fridge. In the kitchen there is the steep, narrow enclosed stairway which comes down from what used to be the maid's room upstairs. I had only been in the kitchen a few minutes when I heard the distinct sound of slow, heavy footsteps coming down that stairway. Suddenly I felt a kind of adrenalin surge go through my body but I couldn't run - I was curiously frozen to the spot where I was standing. I couldn't seem to do anything except stand & stare at that stairway wall & think, "OH, S**T!! SOMETHING IS COMING DOWN THOSE STAIRS!!" My heart began pounding louder and louder as the footsteps came closer to the bottom of the stairs. I seemed to almost stop breathing as my eyes focused on that stairway door waiting for it to open. I vaguely remember thinking that now would be a g! ood time to run, but still my feet just wouldn't move! Then with an eerie creak the door slowly began to swing open and then I saw........ Do you have the courage to scroll down and find out what I saw? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ GENE. Yep, it was my husband! I had thought he was still out on the front porch but he had gone up the stairway at the front of the house to check out the upstairs and make sure everything was all right. Because the house is sooo big I had not heard him go up those front steps but I sure heard him when he came down the back ones! When he opened the stairway door and I saw it was him and not a "haint" I couldn't help but laugh, laugh, laugh at myself for reacting the way I did! Gene innocently stepped into the kitchen, looked at me real bewildered and said, "What the h*ll is so funny?" Now he knows & so do you. http://carrollscorner.net/SitesWashCo_HauntedHouses.htm

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. The child's grave is just a couple of feet behind the cabin. The slave, Mary, was hung for the crime. http://carrollscorner.net/SitesCrawCo_Misc01.htm Haunted Spring in Washington County ~ story & pictures at: http://carrollscorner.net/HauntedSpring.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plus I think my computer might be haunted. I have deleted a certain icon several dozen times but it keeps reappearing in various places in my files!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: darryl.ermalee.lawson@juno.com To: R1m1akerhielm@aol.com ; beckynjohnhoward@charter.net ; ddatdlake@aol.com ; stevensdd@juno.com ; mojavegene@hotmail.com ; jaspur4u@aol.com ; jalbaugh@mail.win.org ; bohling@charter.net ; crittersRus@centurytel.net ; javajoe95667@hotmail.com ; wfcole2@earthlink.net ; seabeedierkes@juno.com ; crdotson@juno.com ; forstergc@aol.com ; ggriffit@coin.org ; halbrook6@juno.com ; oland.wood@frontiernet.net ; jeweible@i1.net ; lee@socket.net ; demomi2200@MSN.com ; patnkath@nightowl.net ; jjz584@MSN.com Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 1:18 PM Subject: Fw: [MOSTFRAN-L] are any of the stories based on fact I found some of the locations listed on this web site quite interesting and somewhat curious. Maybe you've been to some of them.. Darryl I was sent this website, http://theshadowlands.net/places/missouri.htm . It is a website where people list "hauntings". There are several listed for Missouri and St. Francois County is represented with several listings. Does anyone know if these are true and the stories behind the people supposedly seen? Since most of my St. Francois County family seem to have died at the hands of others or themselves, I am wondering it any of these stories are connected to them.
