Have you explored this? It's not far north and west from Maryville, Mo. —

Seven Sisters Road (Road L) Nebraska City, Nebraska Just south of Nebraska City lies road L, or as the locals call it, Seven Sisters Road. As one of Nebraska's darkest tales goes, a man lived with his family in the area nearly over a century ago with his seven sisters. One day, for some unknown reason, perhaps jealousy over the treatment of his sisters since he was the only male in the family, he led his sisters out, one by one, to the surrounding hills of road L and hung them each from different hills. All seven sisters met their untimely demise. Today, as the legend goes, those who travel on the road encounter extreme paranormal phenomenons. Car troubles are often reported, headlights inexplicably dimming when driving on the road and when leaving the area, the lights go back to normal. Perfectly fine vehicles stalling on the road has been very widespread, as well as electronics and such being drained of energy. The most chilling of all reports however, is travelers have reported hearing the screams and wails of the sisters coming from the nearby hills, and apparitions of the young women have been spotted standing on the side of the road on a few occasions. Good-luck to those brave enough to travel the road...

Workman's Chapel, Burlington Junction, Mo.

In the north-west corner of the state of Missouri, near Maryville, a crumbling one room chapel sits just off a dirt road. Pastor John Workman built this chapel in 1901. As urban legend goes, stories of devil worship in the chapel have been told after it was deserted in the 50's. The adjacent cemetery has had reported sightings of soldiers, and the sound of hooves trotting through the grounds Figures darting behind headstones have been seen and some have heard church bells clanging when there are no bells in the church.The chapels alleged history is very dark and disturbing. A preacher stabbed to death a woman in a white dress and hid the murder weapon beneath the floorboards. A woman was hanged from one of the great, old trees, and greets visitors by dragging booted toes across the top of any car parked under it. A bearded giant in a flannel shirt wields an ax to chase off interlopers. The place is said to be more haunted than the famous Stanley Hotel and scarier than the Waverly Hills Sanatorium.

oh! if only I were a sketch artist in the vicinity of a haunted location investigated by The Dead Files....

then I could sketch furiously and hold up my work and say, "Amy, is this what you saw?" am I too old and untalented to become a sketch artist?
they are investigating a haunted B&B in the Ozarks. Brumley, Missouri.
you can stay there, or do $20 tours.....and they have a facebook page and website. this is going on my list!
Amy & Steve think they have identified the man and woman living in the walls. The Rev. and his wife. he buried her and remarried 3 months later and went on to have 6 more kids....on top of the 10 they had together. She cries and is miserable. that is so sad. that misery can carry over into the afterlife. that your husband would come back to haunt the same place you haunt. and that you can't just be together and be happy. yeah, it sucks that he remarried so soon. but it was the 1800s. life went on. had to find a gal to take care of those 10 kids. if he would've died, she'd of been in the same boat, since women couldn't own property or anything...
at the end of the show, they tell you 'what's happening.' Nick & Marcy closed the doors and put it up for sale. For Sale! when that episode would've caused such a business boom! Amy took the man and woman in the walls home with her to move them on, so all they had to do was 6 months of cleaning with salt water spray on all walls, floors, doors. and follow up withe burning sage from top to bottom, then outside. she said the Dr. would be ok if everything else left. I figured at least a male and female medium, a riki master, an Indian Shaman.....so many layers. I wonder why she took them home? something about the case really got to her, evidently.
and according to facebook, they are still open! maybe I can talk Kevin into this for our anniversary????

Originally built around 1911 by the Knights of Pythias for use as a home for widows and orphans where dark hidden secrets and tragic events went untold for years. The Castle later became part of the Army's O'Reilly Hospital Complex in 1942 and served as the Service Club for enlisted men. It was during this period that the Castle also started serving a plethora of unexplainable activity. During WWII the O'Reilly Complex also housed three or more wards of POW's. Many of them were interrogated within the walls of the Castle and tales from visiting veterans over the years sometimes tell of "not so happy" endings. In 1947 the Castle became part of the Veterans Administration 500 bed tuberculosis hospital until 1952 when vacated. From that time forward it served as many uses until being bought by the current owner in 2003.

Kentucky map

ordered a Ky map. I can see Louisville and Brandenburg on here. not seeing Wilder...maybe it's too small to be listed?

Jailhouse Pizza

hours Friday & Saturday 11-10. Sunday 12-10.

Bobby Mackey's Music World

I already knew the sad story of Pearl Bryan from watching ghost shows....the infamous Ghost Adventures episode at Bobby Mackey's Music World. now my memory is being jogged as I read my newest book...this poor woman was beheaded while she was alive. her dentist lover said if he made her drink 4 grams of cocaine mixed with 16 drops of water, it would paralyze her vocal cords...
God help me if I am ever a murder suspect and they search my computer....but Google says Crack cocaine is a solid, smokable form of cocaine. It is produced by mixing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water over heat until solid “rocks” are formed. another blurb said cocaine use could cause miscarriage, which is ironic since she was pregnant and her lover wanted her get an abortion. the fetus was 4-5 months along and alive at the time of her death.
requested private tickets for a Sunday investigation at Bobby Mackeys! and looking into Jailhouse Pizza... Driving distance from Louisville, KY (Waverly Hills) to Brandenburg, KY (Jailhouse Pizza.) The total driving distance from Louisville, KY to Brandenburg, KY is 44 miles or 71 kilometers. we could do Jailhouse Pizza on Saturday! going to be a ghost-filled weekend!!!!
