The UnXplained: Top 4 Most HAUNTED Places in America

Cayuga, Ind. February 16, 2019. Paranormal investigator Dave Spinks and his partner Haley Sharp have traveled to this small town to investigate a house that many consider the

most

evil place in North America. Known as Willow's Weep, it has been the scene of a series of gruesome deaths since it was built in the 19th century. Brenda Johnson is the owner of Willow's Weep. -Hi Brenda. -Hey. She dismissed rumors that it was an evil place and bought it just a few years ago with plans to renovate it. -This is my assistant, Haley. -Pleased to meet you. But recent events have convinced her that she may have made a terrible mistake.

To this end, she invited Dave and Haley to come investigate the house and see if they can verify her strange experiences. So how are you? I'm not standing well here. Last night I was sick all night thinking about coming to this house. Tell us a little about the house, your experiences here. Well, when I bought the house, we started working on it, and then my son was working on the roof, the boards flew at him and hurt him. And they scratched me there, six claw marks on my back. Doors that hit you and hit you under the floor.

I understand there have been deaths in this house. Can you go over them a little? Yes. The man who built the house died in the bathtub. There were two suicides and then another hanging. And I heard that three men had been poisoned. About six months before he bought it, there was a man who committed suicide there. He fell in the chair. Is that where they found him? A couple of days later, right? - One week. - A week later, it's fine. Do you think what's in that house is bad? Yes, definitely? -Yes, I do, without a doubt.

If it weren't bad, it wouldn't hurt people. I don't think there's anything good in there. The house was built in the late 19th century, correct? 1890, yes. As for the shape of the house, it is shaped like a cross. Upside down cross. Strange. Yes, very strange. Was Willow's Weep really built to attract evil spirits? For Brenda Johnson, Dave Spinks and Haley Sharp, the answer is a very disturbing "yes." But why would anyone deliberately want to build an evil place? Unless maybe it wasn't meant to attract demonic spirits, but rather to trap them in an effort to create a deadly warning that demons are real.

Mercer County, West Virginia. Here, on the shores of Lake Shawnee, lie the abandoned remains of what was once a simple, wholesome family amusement park. Opened in 1926, the park prospered for decades until it was abruptly closed in 1966. According to local historians, the reason for the closure was that what began as a children's playground became the scene of numerous tragic and disturbing incidents. In the 1940s, a little girl rode the swings and a soda delivery truck delivered soft drinks to the concession stand. And every time she did it, she backed into the path of the swing and it killed the girl.

She wasn't the only girl murdered here. There were several children who drowned. First, it was a really sad story and I hope it doesn't happen today. A mother brought her nine-year-old son here, left him to go swimming, and she happily followed her lead. She returned when the park was closing and she couldn't find her son. And they looked for the son until ten at night. When they found him, he had his arm trapped in the pool drain. And she had absorbed it and couldn't get out. And he had just drowned. There was another incident where there was a family on a hike.

They were riding a canoe on the lake, the canoe capsized and a little boy drowned in the lake. Before its doors closed, six children had died in the park. That could have been enough for the park to remain closed, but it wasn't. In 1985, local resident Gaylord White purchased the property in hopes of reopening it. In the 1950s, Gaylord, my husband, worked here when he was in high school. She fell in love with him. So that was his wish that one day he would own the park. And someone had told us that the heirs had finally decided they were going to sell it.

That's how we buy it. We wanted to have an amusement park for children. For years, locals believed the park was

haunted

, perhaps even cursed. Then, in the late 1980s, the White family made some curious discoveries. We started finding a lot of Native American pottery, tools, and arrowheads. Things like that. So we stopped razing. We call Marshall University. They put together an archaeological team that would go down to the park. They began to discover corpses. That's when we learned we had a Native American cemetery on the property. A series of tragic deaths at an amusement park built on the site of a Native American cemetery?

A coincidence? As far as paranormal investigators are concerned, it's no fluke. The first time I stepped foot into Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, I felt like I was being watched. It was a sinister feeling, just negative. I don't necessarily believe that

places

are born bad. I think things have to happen for a place to become negative in nature. People have said that every time they come to the park they see the swings moving on their own, or maybe they see a picture of the girl riding the swings. Seeing just one swing when I look at it and no one else sees it, or that it stops as soon as someone else looks, is pretty scary.

More than terrifying, it is inexplicable. Now we tend to be scientists, we all know everything that's going on, and when you see something you don't understand, it becomes creepy. Millions of people have had these experiences. Not only appearances, but also ESP experiences and related experiences. These are questions that science should examine very carefully and carefully. And to say, "Oh, it's a mass hallucination or it's this kind of explanation," without examining the experience itself, whether the singular patterns or the general patterns, is not scientific. It's very unscientific. Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia. Deep within this mountain range lies Lake Lanier.

Millions of people venture to this popular vacation spot to relax and unwind, despite the fact that each year, a shocking number of people drown in its placid waters and many of their bodies are never seen again. If you live near Lake Lanier in North Georgia, you'll hear about all the deaths every summer. There are serious boating accidents, and once someone falls overboard, it is al

most

impossible to find them before they drown. Lake Lanier, from the surface, appears clear. But we hear it again and again when we respond to these drownings. People will say, "He didn't go into the water, he went out to fight and drowned.

He went in and never came out again." And this happens again and again. This lake seems to absorb people in one gulp. Lake Lanier is 26 miles long. It has 700 miles of coastline. And it's tempting to attribute the excessive number of deaths to the size of the lake. But the fact is that there are proportionately sized lakes in North Georgia that don't have half that number of deaths or accidents. Clearly, there is something about Lake Lanier that is cause for alarm. Since the 1950s, it is estimated that more than 600 people have lost their lives in Lake Lanier.

It is such a staggering number of deaths that for decades many have come to believe that these waters may be cursed. Although there are many people around, there was a strange vibe at the lake. I feel like it is a majestic body of water, but there is no denying that there is something strange about Lake Lanier. When you actually enter Lanier, you get the feeling that you are not alone when you should be. I don't feel like someone is trying to grab me, but the water feels thicker than it should. And what I mean by this is that a lady fell out of her boat, and we actually witnessed it, and we ran over there and pulled her out of the water, and she was very upset and said, "I'm so embarrassed." , and I said, "Don't worry, we see people do this all the time." She said, "No, you don't understand.

I'm a lifeguard." And she said, right when she found herself in that water, it was like molasses. So, all the things that we see in this lake finally got so bad and scared the locals so much, that we thought maybe we're just stuck in a curse we have to live with. Could the numerous deaths that have taken place at Lake Lanier be the result of a curse? It may seem far-fetched to some, but for decades, researchers have been examining the possibility that the Lake Lanier may harbor the power to inflict damage. And according to their research, it may have something to do with the history of Lake Lanier.

Lake Lanier is the largest lake in Georgia. It is a man-made lake intended to provide water and power to. The surrounding communities actually did it by flooding a valley that had a town in it, Oscarville. So they had to relocate the people who lived there and they just drowned the whole town under water. Oscarville was not the only city affected by the construction of Lake Lanier. In the 1940s and 1950s, the U.S. government acquired the rights to more than 56,000 acres of land in Forsyth, Hall and Dawson counties to make room for the 38,000-acre lake and more than 700 miles of shoreline.

This included several small towns, and the remains of these communities are still submerged beneath the surface of Lake Lanier. When they built the lake, they left tons of structure in the water. We have concrete, roads, bridges. We have a race track under there. We have standing timber, which reaches a height of 40, 60, 70 feet from the bottom. There appears to be a lot of debris in the water, so it's not an ideal place for people to swim, boat, jet ski or party. The fact is that it is a dangerous place. Authorities say many people drown in Lake Lanier because they become trapped in debris beneath the surface.

But researchers studying the lake believe this is only part of the story, and that the source of the dark force that draws people to its murky depths... is a Native American cemetery that was submerged by construction. from the lake. In 2007, there was a drought and the water was greatly reduced. And that's why they found an area called Summerour Mounds, Indian mounds. It is considered a sacred area that belonged to the Native Americans, the Creeks and the Cherokees. Lake Lanier was built by the Army Corps of Engineers. According to the Army Corps of Engineers, they removed all the bodies while creating Lake Lanier.

But when they were building these lakes, they didn't have ground penetrating equipment, so there is a good chance that there are Native American bodies under the waters of Lake Lanier. Could the presence of Native American remains beneath Lake Lanier have a connection to the unusual number of accidental deaths there? Has Native American belief in the power of ancestral spirits cursed Lake Lanier? Certainly, among Native American traditions, we have a widespread belief in curses, particularly earth curses. And this connects to a kind of widespread belief in animism, that the material world is imbued with spiritual aspects. Now, many Native American traditions have very deep, long-standing beliefs about how to treat dead bodies, how not to disturb them, how not to disturb burial sites.

The desecration of these is carried out in native communities to bring in a lot of bad spiritual energy. Is it possible that Lake Lanier is home to dark spiritual energy? Maybe. But the most surprising thing is that, although this lake may be cursed, people continue to enter its waters every day. There are world class divers who don't dive Lake Lanier. We have between 11 and 14 million people a year who come here and take their chances, even though there have been between 600 and 700 drownings in this lake. I'm not saying there's a curse, but there's definitely some bad energy.

And if it's not cursed, maybe it should be. Uintah County, Utah. Here, on 512 acres of rugged land, lies a remote cattle ranch. But according to local legends, this desert landscape is also home to a creature of unspeakable evil. A creature known as "the skinwalker." A skinwalker is a shapeshifter. It can become many things. A fox, a coyote, a wolf. There are recorded stories of bipedal creatures walking with wolf heads. The locals on the reservation don't talk about it, because even mentioning the skinwalker's name invites these things in. Skinwalkers. Shape-shifting werewolves who live not in the remote forests of Eastern Europe, but in the remote desert regions of North America.

Skinwalker Ranch, 1994. Experienced ranch hands Terry and Gwen Sherman purchase the ranch and surrounding area. Almost immediately, they come face to face with something they would later describe as "pure evil." One day, Terry had gone to check on his cattle and noticed something extremely large, what appeared to be a wolf, walking across his property. He grabbed one of the babies by the snout and began to tear it apart. So he pulls out his .357 Magnum and shoots at point-blank range. And the wolf doesn't react. He doesn't seem fazed at all. He then takes his deer hunting rifle and shoots the wolf to take it down.

A piece of skin and meat flies awayof the wolf, but again, completely unfazed. And at this point, the wolf casually trots off into the distance. Terry aimed his rifle and cautiously followed the wolf's trail...only to discover that he had disappeared. In the days and weeks that followed, the Shermans began to wonder if what they found was a normal wolf... or something else. In the case of the bulletproof wolf, the interesting thing is that wolves have not been native to the state of Utah for approximately 100 years. The werewolf of the legend is described. He looks a lot like a normal wolf, except that he is much larger.

And it is often said that he is somewhat bloodthirsty and cunning. We have many interesting legends around the world. For example, in Russia they are known as vrkolak or bodark. In France, we have the loup-garou, in Scotland, the wulver, and in South America, the lobizon. Even in countries where there are traditionally no wolves, similar legends exist. For example, in India there are tiger men, and in Africa, leopard men and hyena men, and even in Mexico, jaguar men. We have to admit that the notion of a shapeshifter like a werewolf, something that combines human and animal elements in a single body, from a scientific perspective is quite worrying.

But the fact that these legends are so widespread is quite intriguing. A huge, bloodthirsty and cunning wolf that is also bulletproof. Is it possible that the Shermans encountered one of the werewolves that may have been haunting Skinwalker Ranch for centuries? And if so, what physical evidence is there to support such a fantastic idea? There have been numerous reports of cattle mutilations occurring not only at Skinwalker Ranch, but throughout the Uintah Basin. Many of the accounts of animal mutilations at Skinwalker Ranch describe animal carcasses that have been nearly surgically dissected. Certain large cats can make very clean and precise wounds, such as mountain lions.

But it's notable that you have so many accounts of strange cattle mutilations at Skinwalker Ranch. This is very difficult to explain in terms of the natural world.
