Real Haunted House

Goeltz House

Rochester, New York

Hauntings abound in this house. Footsteps have been heard on the wooden steps, the image of a man has appeared, TV’s turn on during the middle of the night, with the volume on full blast, and objects have floated in mid-air.

I will tell you a scary story. While lying on my sofa one afternoon flicking channels by remote control. Suddenly my remote was missing. I remained lying down but searched frantically with my hands all around me. Nothing. Finally I got up and searched the sofa. No remote. I found this really strange, since it was in my hand at all times. I could not figure it out. So I said the heck with it and I lay back on the sofa and resumed watching television. When I looked down the remote was lying on my stomach. It made my skin crawl, but I remained as calm as I could. Since I had no explanation for what just happened.

Ok I call your bluff! I was living next door to the house for 5 months until my friend OD on heroin at her boyfriends house. We had problems with our TV too! guess what? It was the circut breaker in the basement getting wet when it rained causing electrical occuances to shoot….There for causing the TV to act up and the lights to flicker. The steps were the rats! Half the houses on the street had them and they were huge! (the huge rats were a pratical joke gone wrong by a gang BTW). So if you could rmove the Goeltz house it’s a disgrace to paranormal investigators, Rochester’s society (i could care less about that), and Me because i didnt swear once and thats a once a year thing….plus I know the truth and I just told you…By the way I do believe in paranormal phenonmenon, ghosts, demons, and purgetory.

Interestingly enough, I too believe in the paranormal. Always have, always will. I love stories like these, except when they turn out to be false. Living with ghosts is a truly “interesting” experience. You think humans PMS, ghosts do too! Atleast that is what I believe. They get their moments where they choose to remain dormant and calm, but then like that they are being mischevious and even frightening. I’ve lived with ghosts, demons, and angels all my life. I know when there is one in a room, usually if it is a Male or Female, etc. I love it and I just so happened to marry a man who has the same senses. We hope that our children are able to take on some of our capabilities and embrace it like we have. SUGRNHUNE83@aol.com - email me if you know of any other truly haunted places or have questions.

Unless any of you non-believers come up with proof that there isn’t a ghost living in that house, then stop talking.

p.s:I’m from Rochester, and I know this is true.

Televisions can seem to turn on by themselves inexplicably, different televisions have different remote frequencies, I have had it where my neighbor has used his remote(in HIS house) and turned on my TV. For me that is never hardline proof of a haunt. Maybe I just need more… ehh anyways have a good night

To Andrew:

First off you spelled demon wrong(or daemon from the Greek divinity), secondly you also spelled dead wrong. Thirdly as there are probably dozens of people that post here(if not more), it is reasonable to believe that they do not share the same theological views as yourself. I have happened to have read the Christian Bible, as well as many other theological texts. In all the reading and research I have done, and trust me it has been hours upon hours, there is mention of ethereal beings in almost every single culture around the world. Next time you want to barrade people for believing something different than you, make sure you are well-versed.

Thanks:)

Sarah says:

Your post was intelligent, but “barrade”?? You must have meant “berate”. When you comment on other people’s spelling/grammar, it pays to be extra careful with your own.
Peace.

Oops I did type barrade didn’t I? Thanks for the correction Sarah.

I Live In Rochester and I AM Like So0o0o Into the Paranormal stuff. I Wanna Know Where This house Is Located! I Think Ma House Is Haunted. In My room I Hear foot steps from the attic and ma floor creaks ever too much. We have the old steam heaters and someone or something bangs on it all the time. Before i moved in this house no one lived in it for 2 years.
Its a big beautiful house! Kinda makes you wonder why no one wouldnt live here fo 2 years. When we moved in we heard so many different stories about our house from neighbors. I think it’s a little girl. When my little brother was in the room that i am now he would wake up at least 3 times in the middle of the night screaming and crying! One night when my mother and I were talkin about how we thought it was a little kid just tryning to play with him, i had a dream. I had a dream that my cousins and i were playing hide & seek in the house and we were playin with a little girl we never seen before, but we kept playing. The little girl was in a nightgown which was weird because we were playing in the middle of the day. Well we couldnt find the little girl but when i opened the linning closet at the end of the hall way, She had been hung and thurr was blood dripping from her neck, feet, and hands. CRAZY DREAM HUH? And it’s weird that i wake up every night at 3:00 am every night(Known as “DEAD TIME”). I Definitly Belive In The Paranormal.

Well I really believe in ghosts, but I never really seen any. I don’t think I would be scared if I was to see a ghost. And I don’t want to either.

We can and have the equipment to support the collection and measurment of EMF, temperature drops, and EVP. We have the math supporting alternate realities in ‘String’ and ‘Chaos’ theory. currently also, there is a strong belief in ‘multi-dimensions’ by those scientists in the field of theoretical physics What we cannot do, though, is get the phenomena to replicate repeatedly, upon request, every time. Like all hard science, it must be repeated to prove it exists and measure it. We cannot see electrons, but we can project them at the speed of light and measure them. We can turn wind energy (that we cannot see) into mechanical and electrical energy, everytime it occurs. Unfortunately, within the field of the ‘paranormal’, we cannot.
Until we can, we will not know whether our ’subjective’ experiences are manifes to something that it is intelligent, residual or a by product of our own telekinesis .
As of now, they are simply subjective ‘experiences’ we perceive that we are barely able to measure. Much needs to be done in the science of the paranormal to give it the credibility it so much needs in order for it to be taken seriously by serious skeptics.

Listen To All No Believers,

You really dont have to attack people who do believe in this. All they are stating is their opinion and i do believe we have the right to do that. If you dont belive then dont i am not telling you to…All i am saying is stop attacking people who think it is that is wrong and a bad charactoristic. Besides this is just a ghost story…”Story” not fact if you want to know the truth go to map quest and find the place then tell us what happens.
