Haunted House Stories

Do haunted homes really exist? Could it be that spirits who have long since past have decided to continue to dwell where they felt most comfortable? If they do haunt a residence, will other strange activity occur such as odd smells or even sounds? I am going to list two haunted homes here and you can be the judge.

The first on my list of haunted homes is that of the Lilian Place which is located in Florida, Daytona Beach to be exact. This house was created in the late 1880’s. In all of Daytona Beach, the Lilian Place is actually one of the oldest you will find around. It is currently a quaint bed and breakfast but note here that looks can be rather deceiving. Apparently this haunted home was constructed on top of a burial ground that was used by the Indians which of course is prime territory for strange occurrences. All sorts of interesting paranormal activity has taken at this Victorian style home which includes lights turning off as well as on and a ghost that was simply dubbed Lucille. She has been seen by many visitors who have decided to vacation here. Lucille seems to not have caused a problem, just going about her business at Lilian Place I suppose!

The second selection on my list of haunted homes is located in Long Island, New York. It is called Raynham Hall and is open to the public. It once housed British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. One in particular, which is that of a Major refuses to leave. For some odd reason, employees of Raynham Hall have noticed the scent of cinnamon with no explanation. Orbs have been seen in pictures that have been taken here and EVPs have disclosed sounds such as screams that cannot be heard with the naked ear. Then of course there is the ghost that has been dubbed the “Brown Lady”. Her apparition was actually caught on film here when pictures were snapped during the early 1930’s.
