In accordance with my thread on favorite famous haunted locations, I thought it would be interesting to start a sister thread on favorite less known and local haunts.
I think it would be interesting to list little known haunted locations or places you suspect may be haunted for whatever reason. Additionally, can you tell us anything about the location? Why do you think its haunted or what evidence has been gathered that it is haunted?

My old high school bell tower is pretty awesome. There's this girl that has been known to show up and tells people to tell her boyfriend that she's sorry and walks up the bell tower steps, which no one is allowed up there, since she went up and jumped off the tower.
There's more, I'll post them up later.

Waverly Hills sanatorium, when i went there with some ghost hunters they fried a couple of their meters twice. Plus there was generally a really creepy presence throughout.
I've gotten the same vibes near the cave at Cave Hill cemetery too.

that's usually kinda fun, and it's a good way for them to make money to preserve the property. Also you should check out both of the Culbertson mansions, they have are reputed to be haunted as well.

I'm a New Albany resident. :hehehehe:
I love Culbertson..I've gotten strange feelings there ever since I was a kid, just didn't know why until recently. The gated punishment room always bothered me most..

Check out the one in Old Louisville too if you haven't, it's not as creepy as the one in New Albany but it has the same sort of vibe.

Will do. As for Louisville haunts..what else is there to add?
I like the legends of Pan in Cherokee Park and I had the chance to go to the Standard building before it got demoed but never went. Ever been to Sleepy Hollow? Lol this thread is for Urban Legends too. :p

The Seelbach and the Brown are both supposed to be haunted, so are a few of the other historic homes dowtown. also you run into a lot of creepy shit in the tunnels that run under the city (I don't advise going down there unless you are with someone that knows what they're doing though as it's easy to get lost and or injured down there. Also the law library at U of L is haunted.

Creepiest places I've been-Stone Mountain park in GA, the plantation houses there, not the big house but a small brick house on the grounds. Also in GA, there was this cemetary we visited in a small town, and it was packed full of confederate soldiers. The day was slightly overcast. We jokinly said, we wonder how all these soldiers feel about us yankees being here. There was a huge crack of thunder right over our heads. We got out fast! Pretty funny really, but it was creepy.
A house I lived in as a girl saw and heard alot of very scary things, of course having a 12 yr old girl *me* there probably intensified things. I would love to see about investigating that house.
Old Nursing home in vancouver wash. Lots of activity there, call lights going off in empty rooms, voices, etc.. working night shift there always exciting. Even days were crazy. One time I was in a room by myself, it was empty, I was changing sheets while resident was bathing, and I heard deep rattly breathing, and mumbling on other side of room. I used to have to sit with a woman because she couldn't go to sleep because of previous deceased resident waking her up by walking in and sitting on bed.
Thats just a few.

I went to Stone Mountain to preform in the America Sings Charity Concert a fews years back... I got an icky feeling walking the grounds...
My old apartmemnt building was haunted....every single resident witnessed something at one point in time or another....A lot of the people there swore that they saw a little girl standing in the back room of their apartment when they looked through the hall....and I used to sit and watch a little stream of light come down my hallway turn a the corner and go into the kitchen, I'd always hear a noise of some sort come from thwe kitchen a few seconds later. It was really bad in one of the upper apartments that my little brother, his friend Johnathan, and my youngest niece all refused to go back up there.
