Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Lizzy’s House

Exeter, Pennsylvania

Lizzy and her husband were a happy, and well-to-do couple many years ago, as the story goes. This all changed once Lizzy discovered that her husband was having an affair with their housekeeper. After being confronted about his infidelity, the husband decided that he did not wish to stay with Lizzy. He pushed her down the stairs, and she plummeted to her death. Hauntings include sounds of thumping on the stairs, lights flickering on and off, and loud screeches in the night. One night, a teenage boy was walking in front of the house, and a group of boys drove up to where he was. They jumped out and proceeded to beat him up, rob him, and eventually kill him. One of the boys looked up at the house and noticed a white, floating figure coming towards him. He called to his friends, and they left. The person that reported the murder to the police only identified herself as Lizzy.

I grew up in Exeter, PA its in Luzerne co. Northeastern PA. I went to school with Heather and Donna Smurl. They made a movie based onn their experiences called “The Haunted” But they actually lived in West Pittson which was a town over from Exeter. I have no idea abbout that Lizzy house though, or about a haunting on Lincoln Street which was few blocks from where i grew up.

i know that people have been saying things about others spelling and to me i don’t really care if you shorten your words or use abbreviation, but can you just reread what you write to make sure that it’s understandable because sometimes i’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say. thank you!

It’s been about 15 years since I’ve been to the Lincoln rd. house and almost as many since I’ve talked about it. A recent conversation at work between an employee of mine and an associate from another department leads me to believe that all the theories I came up with to explain what happened might be wrong. I chose the name Skeptic because I firmly believe everything can be explained by natural phenomena which is why this is such a hard pill to swallow. As much as I have tried, I could not explain this by any means of science. As best as memory allows, I will explain. I can not remember the time of year,(though it was not around Halloween) but, there was a period of several months that quite a few friends and I would go to the house. We actually went all over the county using Charles Adams’s book as a guide but made many trips back to the “Lizzie house”. We really weren’t ghost hunting, just bored and looking for something to do, though it did get addicting after awhile usually playing off of each others fear to scare the heck out of one another. At any rate, the one trip that stands out… There was 6 of us, packed in a smaller sized car. We pulled into the driveway only far enough to get off the road. I can’t remember if the old rope and post fence blocked us from driving up further or if that’s all the further the driver wanted to go. The driver never got out of the car. The rest of us got out and walked around for a while when three decided they were going to go in. Me and a friend of mine since childhood stayed outside, I’m not one for breaking and entering. They went through a window in the back on the driveway side which I always assumed led to the kitchen. Once they went in, I could no longer enjoy this trip because I was to worried about getting caught because they made quite a racket breaking in, so I pretty muched stayed outside ready to run if the wrong people showed up. My other friend went into the spring cellar which is detatched from the house toward the back end of the driveway. He was probably in there for less than 5 minutes. I just paced back and forth looking at the house then looking for headlights. At a time when looking at the house a blowing curtain in the window on the top level toward the front of the house caught my eye. The curtain almost looked as if it was starting to swirl to the right, from my point of view. I was momentarily distracted by my friend coming out of the spring cellar but quickly turned back to the window and it was there, just staring. I motioned for my friend to come over and when he got beside me I asked if he could see it. It was a firm yes with amazement in it’s tone. This was not a quick look and done deal. We continued to stare and it continued to stare back. It was facing us but it was more like it was looking through us. Better yet, like it was waiting for some one to arrive. I don’t know how long we watched it but, It was definitely atleast 2 minutes. At this time, while we were still staring, the other 3 friends started yelling and came bursting out the window they had entered. Start the car, start the F____ing car! Well of course we took off toward the car also and left in a hurry. The staring at the window and my friends rushing out of the house screaming are burned in my memory and I can see it as clearly now as I saw it then. And I could see IT till the moment they came out of the house. I think till this day the other 3 friends either scared themselves or thought it would be funny to scare us by yelling and running. I will never say what I saw was a ghost and will always try to explain it some other way, but to date, I have not been able to. My closest friend talked about it later that night but refused to ever since. I do remember that other than our friends scaring us, there was no fear. It was more of a shock at trying to figure out what it was. It was simply something holding back a curtain and staring in our direction and I could see through it like a very thick fog. That is a description of it’s density, not color, it was to dark for eyes to see true color but if I had to guess, I would say a dirty white due to the blackness of the room behind it. There are some details left out because I would like to see if anyone else has a similar story and if the missing details show up, it would help validate that story in my eyes. 2 other incidents did happen on a seperate trip but I feel that I was able to explain them. Again, some one may have these too in there story. This is the only thing like this that has ever happened to me. Other than those several months with friends, I have never held a strong interest in the subject nor have I pursued the issue any further. It was all a chance conversation that I was really not a part of that made me decide to try to find something on the internet which led me to stumble upon this site. I do not ask anyone to believe but I do welcome all comment and apologize in advance for any errors in grammar.

I would really really like to know more about this Lizzy girl. If you could leave a comment telling me more that would be awsome! Thanks alot!

By the way, all this dramitic stuff about SPELLING really doesn’t matter! People write, talk, walk, and type the way that they want to. Nobody can help that. I may only be a child, but I think that I may know quite a bit already.

Happy New Year [two double oh eight]
We’ll miss you 2007!

This is just a story I have been in the house many times, it is near the landfill, it is just a rundown house.I was there at night many times with many people and we never saw a thing we were there drinking and partying ,the state of mind we were in if there was a ghost it should of showed itself because it might of scared us straight.

you know i came in to see if there were any people with real stories but all of the comments are on grammar -shut up !!- if u dont like what people are saying get the—- off this site.(bella)
anyway i live near the smurl house and they lived in west pittston not exeter and now they live next door to my sister inlaw in wilkes barre –nice people and great neighbors but…..
i heard they still have spouts off paranormal every once in a while.. ive talked to them personally and they just would like the past to be forgotten..

My earlier apology for grammar was intended to be a bit sarcastic but, you are correct. Who cares about spelling?
I mean no disrespect to Jim but, if, and I do mean if, ghosts are real, I doubt they decide to appear because you are drinking. Not to mention drinking affects your perception of your surroundings.
If what I saw was real, I believe it was just a matter of right place right time. I have been informed of the place by others who have been there many times and have not seen anything. I don’t believe it is a common event.
I don’t think missyngangel is refering to the same place as this does not involve anyone living today. I could be wrong though.
The fact is as an astronomer and enthusiast of physics (NOT psychic) you must understand there are things that defy our understanding. This does not mean something is supernatural it just means we can only understand what we experience as reality. What I saw may not have been an apparition of a person who has passed away. There are other explanations that are at the present beyond grasp. I will spare you the details as it may get boring but if you are interested, while you are on your computer, do a search for string theory, parallel worlds, or extra dimensions. Believe it or not, they are real things and you may also exist in another one at another time.
My motive for writing this was to see if someone else had a similar experience and intentionally left out certain details so I would have a chance at seperating fact from fiction.

I was at this place with friends in the 80’s. We left running. One was hit by something that fell from the ceiling. It was Alec, Dianna and another girl that a can not remember. Something is certainly there. What? I don’t know. Maybe just imagination. Maybe the power of the mind? I never returned even though I lived only 15 min away. When I visit mom and dad I still drive by and say “Hello Lizzy” as I pass. They never could keep the fence up. She kept tearing it down. The last person that lived in the house actually lived peacfully with the ghost. It woudl unplug the organ and play tricks here and there. But nothing really bad.

I have a cousin in Paterson, NJ who swears her house is haunted. No one else who went there heard anything;
she called me~The guy with the open mind~When my Dad
was there, thinks she needs psycho-evaluation. She
came to me for help, as she feels cold spots, hears footsteps in the kitchen & on the stairs…..so I’m asking ANYONE who reads this for advice. I want to go there with my camera, and maybe catch an ‘orb’ which we see in e-mails from my wife’s family who just lost a 46 yr. old brother & their dad in a 2 yr. period.
I’m so glad I found this site of believers and the possibility of helpful advice. Thank you all in advance. Sincerely, Joe M.

I can totally back up your story Kyle H! I definitely remember driving past w/ friends in the 80’s. We were a bit obsessed & drove there various times in one summer. That damn fence was in a DIFFERENT state of disrepair every single time! There was large red stains all over the road one night, but we had each other so freakin’ scared no one was crazy enough to get out to identify the substance. (knowing my friends, we would have locked that person out of the car just to mess with their head!)The next time we drove by the stain was gone.
