I live right acroos the street from woodland somtimes you can see a green glow on a full moon night and you can see a shadow in the tower and a dog walking around i try to pet it but my hand goes through

is this true i mean this theature isn’t there anymore so why do people make a bid deal when its not even a bad ghost ….. ? write me back please

I am helping to research a book and am seeking information on the so-called Bell Telephone Ghost. This concerns a house that used to stand at Fountain & Division in which a murder/suicide supposedly took place in 1910. Does anyone know anything beyond the Farrant/Eberly account? I can’t find any evidence of this incident or any mention of it in newspapers of the period. Can find no record that Warren and Virginia Randall existed. Wondering if names and dates were changed in the book. . . or is that story just a creative retelling of an urban myth? Would be grateful for any clues or scraps of information.

Where is this place located? I would like to know. It took me forever and a lot of gas to find the Ada witch. Save me time and gas and divulge the location.

Thanks

Warren and Virginia Randall never existed. It’s an urban myth. Also I don’t believe the guy who claims to have thrown the dog in the river. The reason why is because he stated he wanted to remain anonomys but he told us he was the dog-owners friend and that he worked at the theatre. Too much info from someone who committed a crime and wants to be anonomys.

that’s an amazing story! i’m trying to make a movie about it. where can i get more info on this george dude and his dog?

@ Tonya
The story of Warren and Virginia Randall is not a myth. I have proof, and it will be presented in my upcoming book “Grand Rapids Most Haunted.”

I am currently looking for any stories from the Heritage Hills neighborhood. Feel free to email me; all names and actual addreses are kept cofidential. nicole@paranormalmichigan.com

A friend and I are interested in getting into ghost hunting and would love to get together with others that have done it before and would have great ideas on where we could get started…thanks! You can email me at

Yeah I’ve seen lots of ghost through out my years and im starting to get use to it. TIP: Ghost like electricty so bring something like a DSI or something hand held. TIP:Ghost like when u ask for proof…. and u might not wanna not swear like Zak does on ghost adventures because then a ghost might contact u while ur screaming and swearing lol. My family also can commuticate with ghost my mom had this old house where people were stabbed and beds would move across the floor and we would see doors shut with no wind and see figures on the stairway and knifes would pop up in hands.
