And that wasn’t just for you the computer erased the “or any one” above.

I don’t know. As much as I WANT to believe in ghosts and such, it’s just hard unless you’ve actually experienced something. One of the things that makes me so skeptical is why hasn’t ANY of the ghosts through the years manifested themselves clearly and without a doubt to a camera, along with something of an interview? I’m not expecting an appearance on Oprah or anything, but maybe if some medium/psychic could make an agreement with one for it to appear before cameras and say SOMETHING? People have claimed to see them manifest, and they claim to be able to hear them speak, so why not manifest before a camera and answer a few questions? ANYTHING!!

BACK IN THE EARLY 90′S MY FRIENDS AND I ALWAYS WENT TO THE OLD BOYS HOME. ID SAY PROBABLY 20 TIMES OR SO. IT WAS SOMEWHAT SCAREY BUT NOT TOO BAD. I HAD BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE TOP TO BOTTOM. FROM THE OLD MARBLE TOILET PETITIONS IN BATHROOMS BY THE INDOOR BASKETBALL COURT. TO THE UNDERGROUND TUNNEL THAT LED TO THE EXTERIOR BUILDING THAT USED TO BE OUT FRONT. ONE TIME SOMEONE HUNG A DUMMY ON A NOOSE FROM THE BELL TOWER AND ME AND A COUPLE FRIENDS WENT UP IN THERE AND TOOK IT DOWN. DRIVING BY THE OTHER DAY IT LOOKS AS IF MAYBE THE SAME LADDER IS STILL IN THERE NOW. IT WAS ALL RICKETY AND DILAPIDATED IN THE BELL TOWER, BUT ONCE YOU GOT UP HIGHER THERE WAS A METAL EXTENSION LADDER THERE.
I REMEMBER A BUNCH DEVIL WORSHIP SYMBOLS EVERYWHERE IN THE ROOMS THAT WERE ALONG THE LONG HALLWAY ON ONE OF THE UPPER LEVELS.
WE ALSO HAD FOUND WHERE ONE OF THE KIDS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BURIED BEHIND A BRICK WALL. I CLIMBED IN THERE WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND A LITTLE WAYS IN THERE THERE WAS A PILE OF DIRT THAT I GUESS COULD HAVE BEEN A GRAVE, BUT I DOUBT IT. AT THE SAME TIME YA NEVER KNOW.
IT WAS SCAREY, AND EXPLORING IT WAS ALOT OF FUN. I WISH I COULD DO IT AGAIN.
WE ALSO WENT IN THE HOSPITAL BACK IN THOSE SAME DAYS. WE WENT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT AND IT SCARED US PRETTY BAD WITH IN JUST THE FIRST FEW FEET, SO WE LEFT AND I NEVER WENT BACK. EVEN BACK THEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL HARD TO GET INTO; TRYIN TO BE ALL STEALTHY.

Hey guys, I live in El Reno Oklahoma, i havent heard any thing “unusual” about this town but im into the paranomal stuff and i was just wondering if anyone had any stories…id be glad to hear them :]

I’m from guthrie born and raised and have been in the house while it was abandoned and since it’s been redone. It’s one of the scariest places I’ve been have heard things and seen dark figures that made me uneasy but never totally freaked me out. I know at one time there were supossed devil worshipers that had their meeting there and I saw the drawing and the pentagrams melted candles etc. that was when I was little and I’m 26 now and still don’t like going into that house.

My Daughters and I stayed one night at the Stone Lion Inn, we had a good time, had the murder mystery dinner….that was sooooo great. But the main thing that happened is during the night, someone kept pulling the covers off my Daughter’s side of the bed and a cold hand rubbed her leg. And her leg was ice cold. needless to say we didn’t stay another night. Even have a picture of that bed ant where it happened! Anyone that really wants a truly spooky night….go to the Stone Lion Inn….it is truly haunted!

I drove through Guthrie over the weekend looking for yard sales. I was also kind of interested in finding the Guthrie boys home. I didn’t find it, I don’t think, but I came across the masons HUGE stone temple. This is an impressive sight to behold. With the size of the thing, along with the top quality products, it looks to be valued somewhere in the millions of dollars.
Also, the old hospital finally got torn down. Probably too many safety issues with kids trying to ghost hunt.

the boys home is now a mansion owned by some rich guy. He redid the whole grounds years ago. The masonic temple is massive and it’s full of trap doors and hidden rooms. It’s a cool place, and yes the old hospital was destroyed mainly because it was a eyesore but also because of all the kids that would always break in ghost hunting

I used to be a security guard that did citywide patrol and was responsible for a ton of places in the OKC area. One place that I had to go walk every night really gave me the creeps. it is an abandoned factory near NW5th and Ann Arbor. It is called Quebecor world. We used to hear things in there and find things moved even though noone is there and there is a huge fence around it. We found records that told of a worker being crushed under machinery before the plant closed. A cool pl;ace to explore.

Lee i have a question, if u use to be a guard for the Quebecor and u said it would be a nice place explore, but wouldnt there be guards at it now,let me know what u know about it.

No, our company lost the contract and the new owners didnt want to spend the cash on any protection for the building. But I must say, that was about 2 years ago and I havent been back by since then.

anyone ever heard of the “island” or old guthrie? real sadistic. old ruins of buildings and houses that used to be there with upside down crosses…weird ****

I just gotta say that some strange things have been happening in my house for the past few years. My great grandmother actually died in my bed room, freaked me out just seeing her lying in my bed dead. Anyways, my sister bought a weegie board and decided to be stupid and play with it, asking if my grandmother was still in the house. The board spelled out yes. The next night, me and my brother luke wee in the living room watching t.v and suddenly a six foot tall figue walked past me that looked like an six foot tall boy with blonde hair that looked just like my other brother tanner. So i called out to the person thinking it was my brother a few times getting louder everytime. Then my brtoehr tanner came out of his room and was like “what”. I felt the room get really cold as i realized what just happened. It freaked me the hell out. Then a second time me and my mother were fighting over something, keep in mind that my grandmother and mother were like a tag team couple. Anyways i made a joke about my grand mother haunting the house and that night while i as sleeping one of the blades off of my ceiling fan broke off and flew right over my head while i was sleeping.

I grew up in Edmond and I can tell you I visited, “The Orphanage,” many times. In the 90’s the building was not equipped with motion sensors and camera’s. The cops never even bothered driving by because the place is so enormous. We crept into building and hall ways in the pitch black only to leave with memories that even to this day you can’t put into words. The very back building we discovered was a morgue. My friend and I wanted to do a report on the history and found some general bricks with names all stacked into ONE PILE. We brought some to research names and unloaded some on the front porch of my friends house. My mother paged me only to learn that as we were instructed to immediately return to my friends house to be greeted with 4 patrol cars and her dad. The one pile of bricks became tombstones and we took them back by police escort. When the cops arrived with us and saw the pile and shook their heads in disgrace, not to mention we weren’t lying. Creepy

I am going to the boys home in el reno tomorrow night with my fiance and some of our friends. ive heard all these rumors about hauntings there and I wanna get scared. ha. I am a firm believer in ghosts and actually lived in a house that was occupied by 2 spirits. I cant wait to see whats actually still residing there

I can’t find the boys home in Guthrie at all. Would someone please tell me which stores or landmarks it is close too??

Hello all…I’ve been reading all of the posts on the old Orphanage and was excited to see that others had been there as well. I did not experience anything at all on my many visits to the orphanage and hospital but I do remember the fear and excitment it all produced. When I was in High School my best friend and I would go on a regular basis, I do remember the indoor pool which had maybe one or two original tiles left on the ground the rest of which were missing and the view of the elevator that was in the room just below ground level. I remember thinking that even when it was working I would never have used that elevator. We only went itno the orphanage once and out of fear of the building collapsing or a random rodent running by didn’t stay very long, not to mention when going up the back steps a small wall hides your view from your vehicle which leaves too much to the imagination. I do not agree or disagree that it has any activity but a few of the posts suggest a great “sadness” in that place…I tend to agree. I always felt drawn to that place and the view from the back of the building at the many closely nit doors inside on the 3rd level…as though something was drawing me in. I know, sounds silly but whether it be “normal” or “paranormal” that building with a delapidated carriage out back and iron gate out front is the thing that legends are made of. If I could only visit it again the way it was driving down “Elm” street in the middle of the night when your headlights hit the gate and building at the end of the street I would be happy. The only question I did have for anyone else is if the Chapel building is still there…

Brenda.. that wasn’t a ghost pulling off the covers and touching you. That was proably Beckey Luker trying to keep business up. She’s a publicity nut and calls all the news channels around halloween to get a story. The real place is the Job Corp whare the old nuns used to live. The stories that came out of there beat every other one I’Ve heard. They said they found skeletons of babies that the nuns had then killed. When I was young that was the gossip around Guthrie. I’ve lived here all my life and I was born in the old hospital. Come to think of it… maybe that’s what’s wrong with me. huh

Say what you want, but the Children’s home is evil. I lived in Edmond and a friend and I both decided to do a paper on it for school. We went in with her Step-dad and my mom. Our parents were as terrified as we were. The pool was creepy, dark stains on the bottom. While we were there, there was a film crew from one of the colleges doing a documentary. We tried to keep away from them and research on our own. We found rooms on the thrid floor with old wash basins with what looked like dried blood in them, burnt impressions on the floor, satanic paraphenalia, etc. The tombstones out back were the saddest and scariest things I have ever seen. Some of them were for children less than a few months old. The boys ran a printing press in another building on the property. The equipment was still in there, frozen in time. This place has some pretty remarkable history, if only you could find someone who really knows about it to talk to you.

Brook..I didn’t mean to imply that the boys home wasn’t creepy.Since it was bought and turned into a private residence I’ve not heard of anything paranormal happening there.I’ve been in there when it was abandoned but haven’t witnessed anything myself.When I was younger, I’m 52 now, the talk was of the place the Job Corps bought from the church. But being interested in the para-normal and knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t stay the night in the old, boys home. DG
