Kemper Military Academy
Booneville Mo
Now closed down, this former military school has several haunted locations. In the old band barracks, there is a ghost clad in black known as the shadow. It is seen in the hallway and will open windows and slam doors. You can also hear footsteps walking the floor. In the “A” barracks, there is a Civil War soldier seen in a doorway. In the “D” barracks, the ghost of a cadet that was killed from a hazing can be seen standing in the window at night time, this was at a time when the barracks were closed. On the old bridge leading to the golf course, the ghost of a female cadet that was killed in the late 1980’s can be seen. A spirit of a cadet was murdered in the kitchen area also haunts there.
Noland Road
Branson, Mo
Off Sycamore Church Road, off Highway 248, near Branson, is an old Indian trail used to pass by this road near the old town of Garber. People have seen the imprints of saddleblankets and handprints in the dust on the backs of cars after driving this road. Strange sounds have been heard at night.
Mount Everest
The ghost of a climber has allegedly been seen by other climbers, two of whom in 1975 claimed to have shared a snow hole with the ghost during their climb. Some who have seen him believe this is the ghost of climber Andrew Irvine, who disappeared in an attempt to summit the mountain with George Mallory in 1924. Though George Mallory’s body was found in 1999, Andrew Irvine’s body has never been found.
Gibraltar Point Lighthouse
Toronto, Canada
Local legend purports the lighthouse tower to be haunted. In 1815 the first keeper, J.P. Radan Muller was murdered. It was thought to have been drunken soldiers from Fort York who were looking for bootlegged beer. They chased him up the stairs and knocked him unconscious and then chopped up his body and buried him. The soldiers were charged with his murder but were later acquitted. In 1893, George Durnan found a coffin buried in the sand nearby that contained a jawbone. It wasn’t clear whether this belonged to Muller. The sound of moaning can be heard on misty nights and some people claim to see an apparition wandering the grounds.
