hey we need help finding this stuff so if anyone wants to help us out..leave a comment telling us exactly where everythung is..thanks

Wow, I’m pretty much amazed at all of the things people can come up with. Myself, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend have all been there numerous times in search of paranormal activity. My boyfriend has studied this kind of activity for years. There is no haunted bridge, however, that may be due to the fact that the old one isn’t even there anymore. We’ve been to the mansion, Moon Cemetery, etc…there are abnormal presences but nothing silly like some of the kids here try to blow up. There are pictures of all of it on my myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/stlangelface18. As far as the Four Winds Restaurant, nothing whatsoever wrong with the place. The man that owns it, Miloud is his name, is from Casablanca. Yes he has an accent (big deal) is an amazingly sweet man. He even opened the place up for us to eat hours before opening time. We’ve got photos of ourselves with him as well. I personally think that it is rude for people to assume that he is evil or practices satanism just because he’s different. Even if he did practice that, it is his own perogative to do so. That doesn’t mean he wants to kill you or that he is mean. In conclusion, Blackwell is not nearly as interesting as more than most of you make it out to be. The residents are extremely nice for all of the people they have to put up with. If you are going to visit anyway, please respect them. Go during the day instead of at night because if you are caught creeping around private property they WILL prosecute. They are understanding enough if you are respectful enough. Just know that you are wasting your time messing with good people if you go out there in search of phantom cars or screaming old ladies.

Hey Guys I’ve been reading your comments and its pretty crazy! But hey if anyone out there has any “true” stories about any place close to Potosi let me know. I would love to go explore!!

Jimmy;
Thought you might be interested-old farm house in Farmington, young girl (a member of the Doss family, original builders) passed away in upstairs bedroom. Family friend indicates she contracted diptheria and was treated at home. Nothing major going on, just items moving from place to place (especially girls toys) some muted conversation overheard, and one sighting of a shadow of man walking down the hall. A little creepy.

Hey some friends and i attempt to take trips out there on a regular bases. We have made it to some of the “Haunted” houses. There was some pretty crazy stuff in there but alot of the trips were duds. If anyone has directions to the area in which the Black Tram Bridge used to be i would GREATLY appreciate them. I also saw a comment that had something to do with the old south fork resteraunt. I used to work there with a few friends of mine and i know for a fact that place was haunted by a women we refer to as miss andrews.I know of several witnesses to back that story up.If anyone wants details on the experiences with miss andrews i would be glad to email them. thanx!!

the whole “come and get me” thing sounds so hollywood.. has this ever actually worked for anyone?

Hey, my wife and I went out there last night, drove down upper blackwell, old blackwell and another road we had heard was haunted plus stopped at the bridge and did the whole call 3 times thing…..no avail. I’m pretty sensitive to outside energies and only once felt anything remotely creepy on the way in. Nothing on the way back out and no problems while I was there whatsoever. Didn’t check out the Four Winds, hadn’t found this site yet. Heading down to Senath this weekend to try and find some spooklights. Will keep you all updated!

i have heard many stories about this. Not sure if it is true. I know I witnessed Farmington – Old Salem Church and Cemetery when I was in town 2 weekends ago. Creepy stuff

Hey! I’m from De Soto and I have been out on Blackwell road many many times. It’s kind of creepy.I try not to go around there even though I have family out there. My friends went to that restaraunt fo rour senoir prom. I said ‘No way I’m not going out there’.

If anyone knows of any definite haunted places in or around Farmington and vicinity let us know. I want to check out old salem cemetary but scared to.;-) Id be more comfortable going with a few people than just one other. BF wants me to go but im chickening out loll. Still might go to the cemetary but drop us an email if interested. If age makes a difference since it seems there are younger people here we are 38 and 42.

It’s all true.

ok guys,,,I live out there and nothing happened…we went on the bridge flashed our lights and said come and get me…nothing happened…both roads were there, the cemetary is quiet,and nothing popped out, no orbs, nothing…the only problem i have is animals and people walking in the middle of the road, and in our house a couple of nights ago the mop was moving by its own, but were still alive and runnin.

Does anyone know about a road off of Engledow that has two stone columns at the entrance??..it looked like a long dirt road

what is the big deal are these ghosts out there? someone tell me!!!!

Ok iev red every one of these things and YES it is true. Blackwell is haunted i know. ive been out there a lot. me and my friends kyle anthony tracey and tamera went out there in kyles truck. it was like a regular night and there was a glowy mist around the moon we drove past 4-winds(the devil worshipers)and about 5 minutes on to the road my chest started getting tight. me and tracey were in the back all the windows rolled up me and tracey were getting really hot and kyle(driving)tamera(middle front) and anthony(right front) were freezing and as soon as we hit the bridge the dome light came on and instantly i couldnt breathe in the small house you could see the nuns face glowing with anger and it looked like a light but there is no electricity to or in the house.kyle has been run off the road before many times and didnt want to go there again.we turned around NOT in reverse and speeded back you could see the couple and in the corner of the window you could see a face and fingerprints. and you can only see them at night.

I’ve come across this purely by accident due to the time of year and a curiosity, and interest, in the paranormal. I’ve had way too many experiences myself not to be interested, and since I live in Missouri I wanted to see what places were reputed to be haunted. While reading about this road, and some of the people’s experiences on it, I decided to look on the map as to where it’s actually located and BOY do I have a story to tell…. Several years ago my ex-husband and I were going to spend the weekend at his parents house who lived about 30 miles outside of Cape Giradeau. We were living in the Overland, MO area at the time and would normally travel out hiway 55, but we had to go to my dad’s first and he lived in New Haven, MO. Because of that we were leaving quite late on a Friday night and taking a route we had never traveled before. My ex was driving and missed the turn we were supposed to take. We went miles out of the way before he realized it… but not before we got a really bad scare. I’m one of these people that if something is going to happen it happens around me. I saw a man walking along the road directly ahead of us, he was all white, cloths, hair, skin, everything. Then he turned and faced the car and I never saw such pure evil in my entire life. We drove straight through him. Thank God the kids were asleep in the back seat. I didn’t scream but the sudden intake of breath choked me up pretty bad. My ex didn’t see him but he sure felt it. The first words out of his mouth were, “Oh my God! What was that?” The inside of the car got so cold we could see our breath and the windows iced up (and this was in July). We had never heard of the area before or any rumors concerning it, and until I was reading this I didn’t even remember any town close to it. I do remember the hiway we were on where it happened though, we were on hiway 8. I have no idea if this is the exact hiway that’s being talked about here but it’s very close to the area if it’s not. Ghostly encounters don’t scare me, evil encounters do. There is definately something evil haunting a section of hiway 8 in that area and I saw it for myself one night around midnight. Geez, “around midnight” sounds kinda corny doesn’t it? But it’s true.

ok i was reading a comment a little while back that said that in the house by the bridge the attic is hot adn teh basment is about 20 degress colder than the rest of the house, well duh, it’s going to be. heat rises, as anyone with a two story home who doesn’t have good ac will tell you. basements tend to be cooler casue they are underground… i’ve been to this rd adn didn’t experince anything out of the ordarny. blessed be people.

I used to go to the mines often around Bonne Terre and Farmington but I never had a para experience. My dad and my two youngest sons did in one of the mines about twenty years ago. They had gone into a mine and they saw a man walking toward them who just disappeared in front of them. I cannot tell you which mine because it was so long ago and my kids were too young then to remember now and my dad is dead so I can’t help you with which one. I have not heard of the Satanists or have I traveled in the area this story is about. I live in the Cape Girardeau area. We have about four Satanist groups here and also some Wiccan groups which some people think that Wiccan is evil and it isn’t. We have lots of activities here that are listed on some sites on the net. But there are some things that happen that are not reported yet. There were Native Americans here in the trading sector and there were lots of things happening as this being a river town. It was a rough place plus the Civil War in Missouri was a civil war in the state. The state was divided within families, friends, and neighbors. The war itself has left some presence. Plus there is several old homes and business buildings that have different kinds of presence.

Hey, Chris Wright, I wonder what the deal is with restaurants. It seems like a lot of restaurants are haunted. My oldest son worked at the New Orleans Bistro in Cape Girardeau for awhile. He swears the previous owner haunts the place. Of course this building has some old and interesting history anyway but the place settings were often messed up or changed around or the chirs would be back on the floor anfter they had been put up for the night or in the banquet area put up until the next use of the room. SO it is interesting for him to tell the stories.
