Schroeder Drug Store

Washington, Mo

Located on the corner of 2nd and Elm Streets, it has been known as Schroeder Drug Store since 1927 when the Schroeders bought the Baumann Drug Store. It is thought that a janitor died in the building and it is his spirit that haunts the place.

The Cross

Albany, Mo

This is an old one room cabin that sits at the bottom of a large hill. Cabin has been 
secured with an old fashioned cot, old wooden table and chair, and a large bible on the table. At the top of the hill, an extremely old, 15 to 20 feet cross.  Its has been reported that if you look into the cabin the bible will be closed, and if you go to the top of the hill and touch the cross, go back and the bible will be open. This happens regardless of the fact that it is completely secured.  Finding this location is extremely difficult, a maze of gravel and dirt roads. It is said to have been a cemetery site at one time, and then owned by a cult in the 60’s and 70’s where many animals were found sacrificed.

Haunted House (Alba)

Alba, Mo

Formerly a church that had been renovated into a rental house. There are knocks on doors, cabinets opening, and other things of that sort. The spirit of a young girl has been seen there.

Spooky Story

Sometimes I find stories about the paranormal that are extremely warped. This one takes the cake.

This is from an unknown source that has been lost. It’s really a remarkably messed up story.

Here’s the story that goes with the picture:

This was taken in 1985 just before Christmas. The experience of a family of 7 were many, but here are the most memorable. My dad built the house in the `50s, so only we lived there, but the house was always haunted. It had a sense of foreboding that never left. Our dogs often stared, growled, and bristled their hair, eyes following something we could not see. My sister lay in bed one night and heard chains and 
growling dogs running back and forth from window to window outside her room. She ran out terrified. She woke up one morning to see our dead grandpa standing at the foot of her bed, smiling. Doors opened, there were cold spots, unexplained noises, odors, lights going on at all hours, washer and dryer coming on at 3 a.m.

My dad had a 30 foot boat trailered out in the yard thats engine would suddenly roar into life late at night. Once my dad was yanked out of his bed by the ankles. His screams woke my mother who found him wide eyed on the floor. I was grabbed, hard, in the sides and tickled while I was in bed. It hurt and I was swinging my arms trying to hit whoever it was, and my arms just swung through the air hitting 
nothing, yet the tickling continued. It was so hard it was lifting me off the bed. I thought it’d never stop, but finally it did. My parents often came home to find us kids sitting out front waiting for them to come home because we had been scared out of the house. We heard footsteps, and things often turned up missing, only to reappear later in a most obvious place. Toilets often flushed with a jiggling of the handle just to be sure. The picture told us what we already knew, we had a ghost.

A physic told my folks our home was cursed and they had it blessed. But “it” became more active. Years ago we tried a Ouija board. We asked if a spirit haunted our home. It said yes, but would give no further information. My folks tried the board alone, and whatever it said terrified them. They threw the board away and refuse to tell what it told them. They said “they forgot.” We know now leave those boards alone! Even though we no longer live in Largo, my parents still experience paranormal phenomenon as did I in my home (that story you have) (Haunting in my home 8-1-98). I often wonder if it is all connected. Who knows. Thank you for your interest.

A film expert said the face is not a reflection or camera error. He said whatever “it” is, it is behind the glass with the picture of Christ, and has its’ own light source lighting up its face. He asked that we never bring film to him to be developed again. He was that scared.
