I love the Hawthorne Hotel, used to go there on Sat nights a few years ago. I have seen two ghosts in my life. One was my uncle who died suddenly. It was the day of his funeral and he was very angry. My cousin across the street saw him and my sister who was babysitting 2 houses down saw him the same day as well. The other experience was at Union Hospital in Lynn when I was a candy striper. Both experiences were very freaky.
For all you New England folks...Ghosts anyone?

Ok. I'll elaborate. I was 14 when my uncle died. He was my favorite uncle. He had gone into the hospital for back surgery and died from a pulmonary embolism a day or so after the surgery. He was in his early 40's...way too young to die. I saw him the day of his funeral. He was in the doorway of my bedroom. He did not speak, but looked extremely angry. He just stood in the doorway for a minute and then left. Years later I spoke to my cousin Stephen about it. We grew up across the street from each other. He said he had seen Uncle Jack on the day of his funeral, too, that Uncle Jack had spoken to him and asked him where everybody was. My cousin said they are all at your funeral. He said Uncle Jack got mad and left. The same day my sister was babysitting at my father's cousin's house 2 doors down from Stephen's house and diagonally across the street from our house. She said she saw Uncle Jack cross the street and walk up the steps into our house.
When I was a candystriper (13 yrs old) I was working with a woman transporting patients to and from xray. We both saw the elevator door closing as we approached it. She yelled out, "hold that elevator" and an arm came out, the door hit the arm and then when the door opened, there was no one in the elevator. It was freaky.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL.

That is awesome as hell Tara... good lord! Thanks for sharing it with us...
I've always wondered about ghosts, ever since I freed myself from frearing "demons". I would love to see one... and since I used to cover Savannah with my job years ago, i used to go ghost hunting... I've went GH through Salem, Mass... all the way to Savannah... haven't seen crap yet, but that TAPS show is interesting, somethings going on.....

I'm from the greater Boston area....grew up the next town over from Dedham,(Westwood) that Tuesday mentioned.
Not a ghost story, but really freaky none the less. I majored in Art in College... and I was in a sculpture class working in clay on a bust. I was concentrating really hard...and as I worked on the face, it seemed to come alive...facial muscles seeming to move...breathing through the nose...the skin warm to the touch... I started to shake... I half expected the eyes to blink.... I didn't work on it again....decided to call it finished.
Fast forward about a month when I brought it home. An aunt of mine (non-jw) was visiting and saw it. She screamed... when she finally calmed down she asked how I knew. I had no idea what she was talking about. Aparently it was the face of the man she was engaged to...who fathered her child and left for California without her many years before. I was about 5 when that happened to her. I had never met him nor had I ever seen a picture of him.
