Have you ever heard of a ghost? Have you ever heard of a poltergeist? Well if you have you might know about the great amherst mystery. The Great Amherst Mystery was about a woman who goes my the name of Either Cox. She just moved into her new home and immediately was haunted by a poltergeist. This is one of the most witnessed paranormal event recorded.
Either Cox lived mostly a happy life. She did get sexually assaulted though that's when the poltergeist came to be. Either first started hearing noises under her bed thinking it was a rat. The next day she heard the same noises. She looked under her bed to check it out and found it was a metal box shaking. Her step brother came in the room hearing what's happening. Once he saw the box shaking Either opened it and the box stopped. Then he said they were about to enter hell.
The next night Either woke up possesed. She woke up screaming, “IM DYING” over and over until she fell back to a deep sleep not knowing what happened. She started seeing shadows. She also saw objects floating and moving from one place to another. One time she got really sick and called a doctor. The doctor came to her house ran some tests and didn't know what was going on. Then on top of Eithers bed on the wall was the wall being carved out by nothing. Once it finished it said “Either Cox you

are mine to kill”. The doctor was afraid shortly after the room started shaking for what was about 1 minute. The most interesting thing about this is that there was so many witnesses.
People around the neighborhood heard noises or seen events. The news spread like wildfire. Everyone was lining outside her house just to witness something. In fact a man came to there house so he can ask if she can take her on a tour to show people. Sometimes things would happen other times things wouldn't. There would be strange noises and sometimes if the host was lucky a loud loud bang. Like if someone slammed a table on the wooden set. After a while Either returned home and the same things that were happening before happened again. This poltergeist mostly followed Either
everywhere. Altogether no one is able to figure out how and why this started happening. There is no explanation to this. The part that makes it even more difficult for the investigator's is that this happened in the 1800’s, and there was no evidence. There was many witnesses but are all deceased. We will never know if this was all a hoax, or if it was true.

Our encounters with the ghastly and glorious ghosts of St. Albans are fairly typical of the experiences of the other paranormal investigative teams you will read about in The Ghosts of St. Albans
I was told a story about one of Cloudcroft's more famous ghosts when casually lounging in the undergraduate student physics lounge at the University of Maryland, College Park, with a group of students during a lunch break before class. This occurred during early April, 2005. I inquired whether anyone knew any ghost stories or folklore. A friend of mine volunteered that she knew several ghost stories from her travels. The storyteller was a 23-year-old Caucasian female from an upper-middle class family in Baltimore. She currently lives in Crofton, MD, and is a physics and astronomy major.
It was the age of discovery that first provoked intrigue and curiosity of new lands, particularly the Americas, and how the Europeans could expand to fit their society within the borders of this unknown and unexplored land. By the 1580s, more had been learned about the Americas, but any colonization until this point had not even been attempted. And so it was the English, under Queen Elizabeth I's rule, that were issued to establish a colony along the east coast of North America. However, when this great accomplishment was finally made in 1587, it was not long founded until its ultimate fate ended in the disappearance of the colony three years later, instantly creating one of the greatest American mysteries that will ever be.

Were the settlers attacked and “murdered? Did they die of natural causes? Or were they assimilated into Native American tribes?” The title of this documentary is Roanoke: The Lost Colony and directed by Brendan Greockel and Brian Leckey. This is an instructive documentary about the Roanoke settlers and how they suddenly disappear. “Croatoan” was the only clue left, carved on the trunk of a tree by the Roanoke Colony before they disappear. In the year 1587, over 100 English settlers came ashore Roanoke Island, NC, to establish the first English colony in America. Sir Walter Raleigh sent John
When most people think of the early settlement they think of the first successful settlement, Jamestown, but this was not the first settlement in the New World. The settlement at Roanoke was the first attempt to colonize the New World. The settlement at Roanoke is often referred to as the “Lost Colony” because of its unusual disappearance. The reason people often do not know about the first settlement at Roanoke because it was abandoned, forgotten, and lost. The Roanoke settlement was located on an island on the northern coast of what is now North Carolina. A few more than a hundred English men first settled the colony at Roanoke Island in 1584. The conditions were harsh and between the lack of supplies and the troubles with natives of the area the settlement was all but doomed from the start. Three years after the initial settlement was founded, in 1587, more English arrived this time there were one hundred and ten colonists that consisted not just of men, but of women and children as well. Women and children were brought to the New World so that the settlement could become a fully functioning society. Of course this idea obviously did not work out as planned. The war going on in Europe between the English and the Spanish caused a delay of more supplies and people. If there had not been a prolonged delay in the resupplying process the entire course of American history may not have been what we know it to be now. If the war had started any earlier or later then people might have known more about the original first settlement of the New World. All the evidence left when people returned to Roanoke following the war in Europe was the word “CROATOAN” carved into a tree. Historians believe these to be marks left by the Croatoan Indians...
The North Carolina was founded in 1653 by the virginia colonist. The North Carolina colony was classified as a southern colony. Carolina is derived from the latin name Carolus. During the 1600s they realized its not possible for one governor and one assembly to run Carolina. The major settlements in North Carolina were Cape Fear, Charles Town, and Albemarle. The geographics of the North Carolina area are coastal plains, plateau, and mountain ranges. The climate in the North Carolina colony was not hard to survive until the summer came because the hot humid air in the summer made a rise in disease it was mostly warm all year round besides the winter but then it still isn't hard to survive because it wasn't too cold like it is in alaska or someplace
King Charles the first founded the Carolinas in 1629 and named the colony after himself. Carolina derives from the Latin word for Charles (Carolus). Originally, the colony was much larger and covered both Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee. Immediately, differing ideas and arguments broke out among the leaders of the colony. In 1712, North Carolina seceded from its southern half when the Lords Proprietors made Edward Hyde governor of North Carolina and not all Carolina. It was officially recognized as separate colonies in 1729. Often times, we think of the founders of our country as intelligent and divinely inspired. From the details of the founding of South America, we can see that everything does not go as smoothly as history would like to paint it.
The Nelly Butler hauntings is referred to as the first recorded ghost story in American history (LiBrizzi 5), and possibly the most exciting hauntings to date as there are still many unsolved mysteries. The apparition appeared on more than 30 separate occasions to over 100 witnesses in Sullivan, Maine, just over fifteen years after the American Revolution (5-6). Although the Nelly Butler apparition is one of the most convincing ghosts of all time, it was subject to suspicions of fraud. These claims turn out to be groundless as the evidence reveals the ghost to be genuine.
“We have travelled from Florida to Radford, Virginia on four different occasions to investigate St. Albans,” said Terri. During that time they have experienced a plethora of paranormal activity, including the sounds of disembodied voices, the vision of a full-body apparition, having an investigator slapped by an unseen hand, disembodied growling, and a disappearing door, among others.
I heard this from my friend about two girls at some college. I think they were like freshmen or something. But they lived together, I think in a dorm room together and one of them left the room, and the other one was sleeping. The girl who left, had left their door unlocked, and the lights off, and when she came back from the party she went straight to sleep in the dark. (Thinks to himself.) When she woke up, her friend was murdered and there was blood everywhere. I think later on they said t...
In The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, there are a lot of various occurrences within the walls of Hill House. Dr. Montague, Eleanor, Theodora, and Luke are staying at the believably haunted house as a part of Dr. Montague’s experiment to see if there is scientific evidence behind paranormal phenomena. As a matter of fact, they end up being the targets of all the happenings in the house. I believe that everything going on in the house is peculiar, but when you look deeper, there is some logic behind it all.
