Ever been to a place that has been rumoured to be haunted?
There is this place in my neighborhood known as bhoot bungalow. In hindi bhoot means ghost. It is really famous and a prominent landmark known by literally the whole city. A few months back my freind and i made a plan to go there, at night. But we got freaked out when we saw some ghost encounters on YouTube
I have read and heard the stories of many people who have went into these terrifying places and their experiences are....well....scary.
So have you ever had the audacity to visit one of these.places. Please reply with your stories.
Thanks

If there is such a thing as ghosts and they do interact with us anywhere, this would be one of the places.

Martha and Asa are based off a real couple who were serial killers, and who had a sort of bed and breakfast just outside of Charleston, SC in the early 1800s, Lavinia and John Fisher. My Mom and I went to Charleston and while on a ghost hunt, visited the old jail where Lavinia and John were kept until their executions.wasif_ahmed wrote:Hey everybody,

We were told the jail was empty before we went in and my Mom was taking pictures of the outside of the jail; in one picture you can see the full front of the jail and on an upper floor, just where Lavinia's cell was said to be was a woman standing in the window looking down at us. She was wearing a black headdress with a scarf over it flowing down over her shoulders.
I believe that was Lavinia's ghost in the picture, you can't see her features, but it's her!
Since we were waiting for the tour to begin, several of us were standing together looking at the building as my Mom was taking pictures and there was no one in, or even near those windows.
One story about the Fisher's says:
Lavinia was a particularly evil woman; she was the ring leader of the two and she talked John into killing the travelers to get their money.
The town folk watched the jailers build the scaffold for the hangings; they couldn't wait to see those two brought to justice. The jailers brought John out first and when asked if he had any final words, he was contrite and asked for forgiveness. Lavinia was different story, she had Satan in her heart. When asked if she had any last words she said, "I am about to see Satan, is there anything you want me to tell him?"
We didn't see the ghost when we were standing outside, but she sure showed herself in that picture!
When we went into the building, there was a heavy oppressive feeling in the air. It was hard to breathe and it felt like you were carrying around weights on your arms and legs. There was an odd sulfuric smell throughout the building and there was the feeling of being watched in every room we entered, but when we got to Lavinia's cell, not only were all of those feelings present, but the cell was cold. It is said that her ghost has been seen by many people who visit that jail.
So, that's where Martha and Asa came from. ?

I have never been to place that has been rumored to be haunted. I don't think I have any near me. I've been to Halloween-based haunted houses and corn mazes, but they were just people dressed up and popping out of nowhere. Even though I don't necessarily believe, it was a lot of fun!
