Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Woodland Grand Theater

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Long ago in this theater, a man named George and his dog would come and see a movie in theater three every week. When George died of a heart attack, he and his dog continued to frequent the theater. It has been said that George was seen in the projection booth and that he would turn lights on and off. Others have reported hearing his dog bark loudly. Though the theater is now torn down, there have been reports of a ghost dog walking around the site.

Are these haunting listings real? I am seeking to become a ghost-hunter. I aim to leave the ghosts alone but I only want to seek them to find out for myself who and what they are because I do not believe they are the spirits of the dead. My belief is they are either scientific phenomena that are not yet explained, or else demons of the devil. I want to find out which of these possible explanations is true, and this requires seeking them out for myself.

I’ve been looking for one in my town to start with. Thanks.

Hello Ghost Hunters!
I was in a houses on Cutler St. off Buchanan. My best friend’s sis lived there and was given a book by a complete stanger who came to her door and told her that the house was in he book. So we try to contact the ghost sitting in the den. The ghost occupied the stairay and a room or 2 upstairs.(One wall to the den was on the other side of the stairs) Long story short we chanted and giggled “Ghost, Ghost out of the wall, Ghost ghst give us a call” It made a lage picture clock fly off the wall and the candels went out. We NEVER tried that again..lol
The book witch is out of print right now was by Don W. Farrant called “The Haunted Houses Of Grand Rapids” I am trying to get a hold of one..I am going to pay 35.00 But that is ok. That’s My story and I am sticking to it..lol Boo-gah Boo-gah

You should also check out a series of three books by the same name, “Haunted Houses of Grand Rapids” by Gary Eberle. He is a good friend of the family, so we confirm his research is genuine and valid. And they are really interesting. You can find them on Amazon.com, and (for the locals) at the Grand Rapids Public Library.

I’ve lived in Grand Rapids for quite a few years and lived in one haunted house. There were at least 2 ghosts. We had one playing tricks on us; turning out lights and moving things and another one who caused weird smells, noises and just a feeling of fear.

I have Volume 2 of Haunted Houses of Grand Rapids by Gary Eberle and Haunted Houses of Grand Rapids by Don Farrant (vol 1). For the person who was looking for these books, contact me. I don’t know whether I can put my email addy on here but I’ll try. gayleold@hotmail.com

Hi,

I lived in GR for seven years and my house was seriously haunted- orbs floating around at night-blue lightning crackles in mid-air, drawers opening in our kitchen, light bulbs popping, a frightning shadow person floating above me while I was sleeping, and a creepy feeling when we would go down in our basement. I never had anyone investigate it or anything, but some of my family and friends have experienced it. There were times when I was scared to go to sleep there! If anyone wants the address, e-mail me@ lawlietyermom@yahoo.com however: the house has been bought by other people and I don’t know what they may have (or haven’t) experienced…
