Gardner State Hospital was closed in 1975 and was reopened as the North Central Correctional Institution in 1983. The location is said to be haunted by the spirits of former mental patients who died violent or otherwise unnatural deaths at the hands of hospital caretakers.

Coordinates: 42.557559°, -71.980796°
Location Address: 4 W. Broadway, Gardner, Massachusetts The SK Pierce Mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts was constructed in 1875 by a wealthy businessman named Sylvester Knowlton Pierce. It is said to be haunted by the spirits of several former residents, including Mr. Pierce who passed away in 1888, as well as his first wife, Mrs. Susan Pierce, who died suddenly of a bacterial illness within a month of the mansion's completion. Due to financial difficulties during the 1930's, the SK Pierce Mansion was remodeled and used as a boarding house which then became a haven for illegal drinking, gambling, and prostitution. It's rumored that during this time a prostitute staying on the 2nd floor was strangled to death, and her killer was never discovered. The woman's spirit is said to haunt the old mansion, and is most often seen by guests on the 2nd floor in the room where she was killed. Another ghost said to haunt the SK Pierce Mansion is that of a man named Eino Saari, who is believed to have died of spontaneous combustion in 1963 after his charred remains were found in the master bedroom without any visible damage to the surrounding area. The SK Pierce Mansion was sold in 2015 at a fraction of its estimated value after multiple consecutive residents were allegedly driven from the house by the violent nature of the spirits there. It opened the following year as a haunted tourist attraction called the SK Pierce Haunted Victorian Mansion, which offers guided tours and overnight stays to guests, who are required to sign a liability waiver before entering the location. Those who are brave enough to stay overnight at the haunted mansion report experiencing a variety of unexplained poltergeist activity, from disembodied voices, footsteps, and whispers, to objects being moved or thrown across the room without warning. Others have reported being pushed or otherwise physically attacked by an unseen entity, as well as experiencing lights flickering, doors slamming shut, and electronic devices such as televisions turning on and off by themselves. The SK Pierce Mansion is also believed to be haunted by several other unidentified spirits, including that of a former maid, and a young girl believed to be Mr. Sylvester Pierce's granddaughter. The SK Pierce Haunted Victorian Mansion is considered to be one of the most haunted houses in the state of Massachusetts and was featured on an episode of the popular television series, Ghost Adventures, which aired in September of 2013.

Location Address: 230 2nd Street, Fall River, Massachusetts On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found dead in their Fall River, Massachusetts house, leading to what later became one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history. According to police reports, Andrew Borden was found dead in the downstairs sitting room after receiving eleven blows to the head with a sharp hatchet, and Mrs. Borden was found upstairs lying face down in a pool of blood. She was killed instantly after being hit in the head from the front with an ax and fell to the floor, at which point she was struck in the back of the head an additional seventeen times. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was put to trial for the two murders but was eventually acquitted on all charges. Despite popular misconceptions, Lizzie Borden was not immediately seen as a suspect in the murders, but she became a person of interest after giving several false and conflicting statements to the police. The Borden House was sold to a different owner after the murders, and eventually in 1996 the location was bought and opened as a tourist attraction called the Lizzie Borden House Bed & Breakfast. Guests staying at the Lizzie Borden House Bed & Breakfast often report encountering the spirit of an older man and woman, believed to be Mr. and Mrs. Borden. Others report hearing the disembodied sounds of a woman crying, as well as witnessing lights flickering, and electronic equipment being turned on and off by an unseen entity.

It's said that the group used the wooded area surrounding Blood Road to perform dark occult rituals, including human sacrifices and the alleged summoning of demonic entities. Although no historical evidence is available to verify these claims many motorists traveling along Blood Road report encountering shadowy figures and apparitions lurking in the nearby marshes at night. In recent years locals have also claimed to encounter men and women dressed in cloaks gathered around bonfires meeting secretly in the woods, however most believe these stories to be nothing more than urban legends. Many also note that when wet, Blood Road turns a dark, red color similar to that of blood, however this is likely due to deposits of clay and other minerals found in the road. #2 - Crybaby Bridge

Location Address: 1200 S. Franklin Street, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan was established in 1892. It is renowned as being one of the oldest universities in the United States in addition to one of the most haunted. Students and faculty members over the years have reported encountering apparitions and experiencing a variety of other paranormal phenomena in many buildings throughout the university's 480-acre campus. In 1937, a 19-year-old cafeteria employee named Theresa Schumacher was killed in the basement of Warriner Hall after becoming stuck in a small window leading to the building's elevator shaft. According to a news article published in a newspaper called Central State Life on June 2, 1937 the young woman died of asphyxiation after the elevator unexpectedly descended from the 3rd floor, completely crushing her skull. Ever since her tragic death students have reported encountering a female apparition believed to be that of Theresa Schumacher, who appears as a glowing blue specter. Her ghostly figure is most frequently seen near the building's auditorium or in the basement where her body was found, and is blamed for a variety of additional paranormal activity such as disembodied voices, whispers, and footsteps. Many also report feeling a strange presence in the basement area, as well as witnessing the elevator doors opening and closing by themselves. One popular urban legend told by students of Central Michigan University also claims that Warriner Hall is haunted by the spirits of two students who committed suicide by jumping from the top of the building, however these stories were later debunked by campus officials as being fictitious. On May 6, 1951, a student named Carolyn Corey passed away of unknown causes while sleeping in Barnard Residence Hall and is now said to haunt the location. Although Barnard Residence Hall was demolished in 1997 due to low student enrollment, two graduate apartments called Kewadin Apartments and Northwest Apartments were later constructed over the original location, which is sometimes simply referred to as The Graduate Housing Complex. Residents at The Graduate Housing Complex report encountering the spirit of a young woman wearing a white nightgown, and experiencing a variety of other paranormal activity such as lights turning on and off by themselves, and objects being moved or knocked from shelves by an unseen entity. Powers Hall is also rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a former student named Emily, who allegedly passed away during the 1930's and was buried in a piano-shaped patch of grass in the building's courtyard. Despite no historical evidence to validate these rumors many students at Powers Hall report hearing the disembodied sounds of a piano playing late at night, however most dismiss these claims as being nothing more than urban legends. A series of underground tunnels spanning over 9 miles in length also run beneath the university grounds, which were used by students to travel between buildings on campus during bad weather until 1979 when a student named James Dallas Egbert is rumored to have gone missing in the tunnels. Additionally, maintenance workers in the basement of Central Michigan University's Carlin Alumni House have reported hearing loud thuds and pounding noises that seem to come from within the heavy cement walls, and the disembodied sounds of heavy footsteps late at night when the building is believed to be empty. Several other buildings on campus are also rumored to be haunted, including Beddow Hall, Cobb Hall, and Troutman Hall, however very few firsthand accounts of paranormal experiences at these locations are currently available for reference. #2 - Mill Pond Park

Pleasant Center
Coordinates: 43.614849°, -84.791424°
Location Address: 1400 W. Pickard Road, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan The Mt. Pleasant Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan was first established by the United Methodist Church in 1892 as the Mount Pleasant Indian Boarding School. The 300-acre school once consisted of eleven buildings, and was one of several similar institutions funded by the United States Congress in an attempt to reeducate Native American children and indoctrinate them into American society. Students at the Mount Pleasant Center were taught religion as well as other vocational skills, and were disciplined severely for disobeying the strict rules set in place by caretakers. For example, children who spoke in their native tongue had their mouths washed out with soap, and even breaking a minor rule resulted in students being beaten with a belt or rubber hose. The boarding school even had its own cemetery on site where children who passed away were buried, including up to 700 former students who are believed to have been buried in unmarked graves and an additional 174 whose final resting places are marked with headstones. In 1934 the Mount Pleasant Center was reopened as a school for mentally ill and criminally insane young men called the Michigan Home & Training School. Stories of abuse and neglect at the school continued during this time, with many historians also noting that living conditions were poor due to the lack of qualified staff members and teachers. The location was renamed to the Mt. Pleasant Regional Center For Developmental Disabilities during the 1970's, and remained open until 2008. Between 2008 and 2016 the majority of the old school's buildings were demolished, however many believe the remaining buildings and the surrounding property are haunted. Many urban explorers and others investigating the old Mount Pleasant Center report witnessing shadow apparitions and spectral figures, as well as hearing the sounds of disembodied voices, footsteps, whispers, and moans. The Mount Pleasant Center was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February of 2018, and is currently owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation.

On September 4th, 2020, I was given the amazing opportunity to attend an overnight paranormal investigation at the infamously haunted Wilson Castle in my neighboring state of Vermont. So I wanted to take some time to write a blog about my experiences there, and also wanted to say a huge thank you to Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio (as well as the rest of the crew at AJ's Paranormal, DTM Photography, Paranormal After Life Investigations, Protectworth Mysterial Research, SIS Paranormal, and Spirit Trackers) for inviting me along!!! The History
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Shea from SIS Paranormal for taking these awesome pictures and allowing me to use them for this blog!!
Wilson Castle in Proctor, Vermont was built in the mid-1800's by a wealthy physician named John Johnson, and his wife, Sarah. Construction of the house and its surrounding eighteen stables, carriage houses, farms, and other outbuildings took almost eight years and cost over $1.3 million (over $33 million in today's currency). The castle itself consists of thirty-three rooms, including an art gallery, servant's quarters, music room, pool room, and parlor, all of which are filled with a number of historic artifacts that are either original to the home, or were acquired by those who resided within its walls over the course of its macabre and fascinating history.
The Johnson family lived in the castle for just under a decade until 1874 when Sarah Johnson moved back to England, though some stories claim she died mysteriously, and John Johnson moved away shortly after due to being unable to afford the costs of living in the castle. Details about Sarah Johnson's disappearance as well as the disappearance of John Johnson are both shrouded in mystery and conflicting stories, leading to many urban legends about their deaths and disappearances, as well as rumors of the castle allegedly being haunted. Throughout the course of our investigation, we may have received some clues from the spirits residing at the castle as to what became of Sarah and John Johnson.
Arriving At the Castle
I arrived at Wilson Castle with my girlfriend a few minutes earlier than the rest of our group. We parked next to a car which belonged to a young man and woman who had just taken the tour. I was already getting excited, so I asked them how it was. The couple told us they hadn't experienced any paranormal activity while inside the castle, but said it was creepy. As a first-time investigator and major skeptic I expected this to set the tone for the rest of the evening... however, there were some occurrences that happened later in the night that I was unable to debunk or find an obvious explanation for.
As we waited for the last few group members to arrive at the castle before beginning the official tour, our group began to make its way inside Wilson Castle one by one to do some exploring. Stepping through the doors to the castle was like stepping through a portal back in time, and one of the things I immediately noticed upon entering the main hallway was the large stained-glass window with the family's coat of arms emblazoned on it. To the left was the parlor room which our group would use as our main headquarters throughout the investigation, which ended up lasting until 8:00 a.m. the following morning. To the right lies a room which houses a number of relics and artifacts that were gifted to the Wilson family, including a chair from the Ming dynasty carved with ornate wooden dragons, and a tea set that was gifted to the family by Queen Mary of England.
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio for allowing me to use this awesome picture of the Parlor Room and chair for this blog!!
The next room we came to was the art gallery, which hosts a collection of artwork ranging from antique paintings, Greek statues, Chinese scrolls, and even paintings of the Wilson Castle itself commissioned by various artists in different artistic styles over a number of decades. The ceiling of the gallery also extends for three stories upward, which gives it a massive, cavernous feel. Then, two doors leading off the gallery soon led us to one of my favorite parts of the castle; the balcony, with its brick archways providing a breathtaking view of the fields and outbuildings below, and the vast ranges of The Green Mountains which lie just beyond them.
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Nicole from SIS Paranormal for taking these awesome pictures and allowing me to use them for this blog!!
After this we were all gathered together and given the official tour of the castle, which proved to be packed with interesting information about the building's history, as well as the artifacts inside. At this point we were all brought to the castle's second floor, where most of the family bedrooms are located, as well as a large pool room located in the center which connects all the rooms on that floor.
Several of the bedrooms on this floor have ghost stories associated with them, such as one room that I referred to as "The Green Room," where a woman in mourning is allegedly seen wearing a black dress. Common practice during the Victorian era was for a widow to wear a mourning dress for two years after the death of her husband, so it's possible the woman seen wearing the dress died shortly after losing her husband or the death of some other family member.
Another room on the second floor which is said to be haunted is known as "Sarah's Room," where Sarah Johnson once lived and died. This room is considered by many to be one of the castle's most haunted rooms, where visitors often report seeing the ghost of a woman believed to be Sarah Johnson reflected in a large mirror. Some visitors have even captured pictures of strange apparitions reflected in the mirror which weren't visible at the time the photographs were taken, and many of these photographs are on display in Sarah's Room. The servant's quarters were another interesting area where we ended up experiencing some paranormal phenomena later that night, though the area only consists of three small bedrooms and a washroom. Up until this point I hadn't really felt any spooky vibes from Wilson Castle, however, once we got to the third floor the building took on a much creepier and more menacing appearance. According to the guide who gave us the tour of the castle, the third floor was never finished before the Johnson family suddenly disappeared. For this reason much of the third floor is unlit, with broken windows and peeling drywall which lend magnificently to its haunted aesthetic. The third floor is also home to a number of unique and interesting artifacts, including the castle's collection of Halloween props, which scared the life out of me a few times later that night as I was wandering around upstairs in the pitch darkness with nothing but a flashlight.
One ghost story told to use that night is that the third floor is allegedly haunted by the spirit of a young child whose name, identity, and cause of death are unknown. During an EVP session later that night though, it seems we may have been able to speak to the young boy or girl, who may have revealed the disturbing cause of their death.
The Investigation
After sticking around for a few hours to answer our questions, the tour guides (all of whom are descendants of the Wilson family) left the castle at around 7:00 p.m., at which point we were given free reign over the building. Once it began getting dark we started setting up some of the equipment such as cameras, voice recorders, and other more specialized gear such as full spectrum cameras, trigger objects, REM pods, laser grids, etc. As I said before, this was my first true paranormal investigation, so getting to see some of this gear and learn how to use it myself was such a cool and interesting experience!!
Then the fun began, and almost right from the start we began to experience a variety of strange paranormal phenomena. Even if these experiences weren't supernatural in origin they were still very strange, and hard for me to dismiss. I won't lie, it felt like something you'd expect to see on a television show about ghost hunting, which I wasn't expecting at all.
As soon as we started setting up equipment in the room, my girlfriend and one of the other investigators began to notice some type of movement near the doorways, which I myself didn't see. We began asking questions and started receiving what seemed like potentially intelligent responses almost immediately. First we began asking the child for their name, or how old they were, and the response we got was a voice seeming to reply, "I'm too young." Too young for what? The next answer we received was both short and disturbing: "Rape." I immediately felt the energy in the room shift from excitement to discomfort as we began asking more questions... who raped you? What is your name? Do you know you're dead?
Check out this recording of the EVP, and let me know what you think it says in the comments below!! This has to be one of the clearest EVPs I've ever heard, and I was totally caught off guard when it happened!
Thank you Matt from Paranormal Buzz Radio and Donyell from DTM Photography for allowing me to use this amazing EVP recording for this blog!! Please also note that in order to share this clip, I had to upload it to Vimeo under my username, and I do not take credit for this video or recording.
This is when some of us think we may have captured some clues from the spirits living in the house as to what may have happened to John and Sarah Johnson, the castle's original owners. While asking if there was anyone in the room with us, we started to hear muffled voices coming through the speaker of the cellphone.
Very shortly after this, my girlfriend and one of the other investigators, Barbara, began to feel extremely dizzy and nauseous, and had to leave the room. As they left the room, I called out after them, "are you guys okay?" A voice on the speaker appeared to reply, saying "it's just us." I wondered if perhaps the spirits in the room with us had attempted to use our energy to manifest themselves, which could have caused our two group members to feel ill, or perhaps merely the presence of these spirits was enough. Jeff and myself decided to stay in the room and ask some questions to see if a spirit was indeed present with us. When asking why the spirit was stuck in the castle, we heard a voice appearing to say either "I lost Sarah," or "I love Sarah." We heard more voices coming through the speakers which appeared to say, "she doesn't love me." One voice came over the speaker saying, "I've killed," followed by the word "strangulation" or "suffocation," and then a frantic female voice which appeared to say, "he's too strong." Over the next several minutes the words that came from the equipment we were using were both disturbing and unexpected; a series of slurs and swearwords, most of which were derogatory slang terms used for women. We heard a man appearing to yell the words "bitch," and "slut," and several others that were even worse, which I won't bring myself to repeat here. But frankly, some of the language that came through during this session was very vulgar and unsettling. Despite all this though, I never felt unwelcome or scared in Wilson Castle, except at one point when I stepped into The Green Room by myself. Immediately upon entering the room I felt a heaviness, as if walking through an invisible barrier, or as if I was being repelled by an unseen force. I had intended to walk to the window on the far side of the room to look out and around, because I hadn't been in that particular room yet since the investigation began. It was as if all my intuition was suddenly telling me I should leave... so I immediately did. Time seemed to be flying by as our investigation commenced, and before I knew it, the sun had risen and it was time to head back home.
