The Houghton Mansion

Another haunted place, but it isn't as dark as Bobby Mackey's Music World. The Houghton Mansion is located in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is said to be one of the most well known haunted locations of New England.

Albert Charles Houghton

There is mixed versions of this story, so I'm going to tell you one of them.
Albert Charles Houghton was the owner of The Houghton Mansion. He was the President of the Arnold Print Works and the first Mayor of the City of North Adams.

On August 1, 1914 the Houghton's chauffeur, John Widder, was driving Albert Houghton and some of his family in the family's Pierce Arrow. John Widder was forced to go to the edge of the road. They hit a soft shoulder and the vehicle rolled down steep embankment. Sybil Hutton, a family friend was killed when the car rolled over her. Mary, one of Mr.Houghton's daughters died on the way to the hospital. Mr.Houghton and John Widders survived with minor injures.

John Widder

Wreck of the Pierce Arrow

Houghton Grave

John Widders blamed himself for this accident. He committed suicide by shooting himself at the barn. Mr.Houghton died soon after. It was either suicide or a stroke.                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Masonic Temple

When the Masons took ownership, they built a Masonic Temple at the rear of the house.

Met Another Demon

Sorry I've not been posting in a long time. I've needed to do alot of school work.

I accidentally saw a demon not too long ago. Nothing followed me home, but it did leave three scratches on my arm. It finally healed completely after about three weeks.

I'll start posting more tomorrow. And I hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Possessions

(I'm back from my break!)

Possessions is when a demonic spirit takes control of the living. This happens more often than what most people thinks, but it is still rare. This doesn't happen right away, there are three stages of possession.

Infestation: This is the first stage. This is when a demon lives in a house, but never chosen a human to possess. Sometimes it lives there without disturbing the living and sometimes it doesn't want to possess anyone.

Oppression: This is the 2nd stage. This is when it has chosen a human to possess. It doesn't have full control, but is trying to do so.

Full Possession: This is the final stage. It is when the demon has full control of the human. The demon can bring death to it's living host.

When someone is 2nd or 3rd stage of possession anything that is religious or that has been blessed, like holy water or rosaries, it feels almost like fire to them. Sometimes food or water tastes horrible to them, because demons doesn't want the human to be strengthened and rejects all food and water. This could mean a sign of death during a possession. They try their best to not let the human know what is going on.
Sometimes it's human host isn't always in full possession. Instead they are fully possessed at random times, on and off. They either don't know at all what they did or it was foggy in their minds of what they did, when they were possessed, unless someone tells them.
Exorcism usually takes alot of time. For example, Carl Lawson's exorcism lasted for about six hours and I know another story about a exorcism done on a boy that lasted 8 hours.

My First EVP I Recorded

I took out my old recorder. I pressed record and said "hello?", to see if it still works and it does. I pressed record again and Lizzy, my ghost best friend and roommate that I mentioned on my first post, said "hello" back. I listened to my recorder and I've got her voice. This was my first EVP that I recorded. I wish there was a way that I can show my class A EVP of Lizzy to you.

Ghost Adventures "Return to Bobby Mackey's Music World" Episiode 4 Season 4

Just to let you guys know, Carl Lawson died on Jan 26, 2012.
I've reviewed the video I post of GA at Bobby Mackey's. I'm going to replace that video with a better one when I can, because I saw it was missing up esp. on part 3.
If anyone has the link to the webisode of the 2nd time they went to this place with that big group, please give it to me because I really want to watch it.
Here is the "Return to Bobby Mackey's Music World" episiode. I've been busy so I haven't been able to look over this. I will replace it, if I see anything wrong with it, when I get a chance to review it.

This is the episiode of the first time Ghost Adventures went to Bobby Mackey's. "Bobby Mackey's Music World" isn't the first time they investigated a haunted place. They had a special before their first episiode.
