Haunted, creepy, or downright ridiculous places

Haunted, creepy, or downright ridiculous places
So with it being October and all, how about we post places near where we live that have "reputations"?

When I lived in VA, we didn't have too many haunted or spooky places, but we did have... DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNN! Bunny Bridge!

In Concord we have the Old Courthouse Theatre, which is supposedly haunted (aren't all playhouses?). Mostly I just think it's a beautiful building. It's only a couple blocks down from my house on my running route and the only thing I've seen haunting it are a couple of hobos.

Lame-o place I live in.

On the other hand, we do have the Greensboro Hitchhiker (anyone who lives here knows you just don't pick up people from Greensboro anyway, so automatically be skeptical).

We have the Brown Mountain Lights:

We've got our own resident Bigfoot named "Knobby" (for "Knob's Creek" rather than any other pervy reason).

The creepiest places I can think of would be some of the castles round here at night. Especially when walking through the corridors.

I'm on the right, dad in the middle, sis on the left. You should see some of the castles at night, just it's shape and a few glowing windows.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Try walking through an underpass in a UK council estate at night then you will know what fear is.

RE: Haunted, creepy, or downright ridiculous places
I used to work at Haslar Hospital.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Hospital_Haslar

It had 18th century operating theatres in the basement which was where we kept our large packs and the casenotes from the Falklands conflict.
Some of the girls with said they were too scared to go down there but I think they just wanted to get of going down the steps.

Where I worked was the psych ward in the 17th Century.

The grounds are filled with the bones of at least 3000 people in unmarked graves.

To clarify...when I worked here it was no longer the psych ward but medical records.

Funnily enough in my new job I recently had to provide documents to the relatives of some people whose father was the subject of a famous (to haslar staff at least) ghost story. I cant go into details but the facts were unfortunate and gory.
