Ghost hunters investigate Kingston home

KINGSTON - Ever since the Kuzarian family purchased a Depot Road home in 1986, Yvette said strange things have been happening.
Fly nests covered the house windows, she said. Random objects started to levitate, she said. She said they heard voices and saw people in their 30-year-old house and yard.
......

Now see, what are you going to do when your stuff starts levitating? Imagine you are watching your favorite show and reach for the beer, and it's floating three feet from where you left it.

But, do ghosts like beer?

...
Kuzarian shared her story with Raymond residents Kathleen Chamberlain and Barbara Edgar, who are filming a documentary on haunted places in the Raymond area for cable access Channel 22. The ghost-hunter team talked with Kuzarian at her haunted home on Monday.

Dedicated scientists seeking to reveal the secrets of the paranormal? Or hacks trying to make a buck on supernatural fears?

More than 200 years ago the property was a cow pasture where Kingston farmers brought their cattle to graze. Kuzarian says smack-dab in the middle of the pasture is New England’s oldest apple tree, which she believes was a meeting place for townspeople. Kuzarian had the tree classified by University of New Hampshire agriculturists. She was also told an old stagecoach road lined the stone wall at the rear of her property.

So where the hell does the ghost come from?

When the Kuzarians bought the Depot Road house in 1986, it had been abandoned for years for unknown reasons. When family members started work on the horse arena, they said they started to sense the presence of ghosts.

Abandoned for years for unknown reasons......

"My hair would stand straight up on end," she said. "When I went up into the loft I felt threatened. My students would hear people talking and no one would be there."

Hair stand on end = bad hair day?

She said she was starting to lose business. Some of Kuzarian’s students stopped taking classes because they were scared of the strange happenings, she said. Students would see a horse in the stall but then turn back a second time to find nothing there. Her 16 horses also started to act up. She even had a therapist and reiki specialist come and perform acupuncture and other treatments on the horses. Not long after the arena was built, it collapsed for unknown reasons.

A haunted horse?

"Reiki specialists said I have a lot of spirits here on the property. I thought I was going insane," she said.

Other times while in the barn out back, where Kuzarian used to have an antique shop and horse stalls, she said she’d sometimes feel someone hugging her.

Kuzarian had an outdoor riding ring in the back of her house. The lights around the ring would go on and off at random times, she said.

By 1989 she was so frustrated by all the strange events, a friend referred her to Wiccans, a neo-pagan religious group with beliefs in magic and witchcraft.

"I was at a point where I couldn’t do this anymore. We are Catholic and our priest gave us holy water to spread around the house. That worked for a short time but the noises came back," she said.

One can imagine the priest dispensing the holy water like ointment for a rash. "Sprinkle this on and it should make phatamagorical specters disappear. Repeat every four hours. If specters don't leave, call Pope."

When Wiccans came to "cleanse" her home, they and some of her riding students were standing in the kitchen when a battery pack that was sitting on the counter began to hover in midair, she said. The battery pack then flew through the air and hit the family dog on the head. They all ran out of the house screaming.

"It seemed like a poltergeist," Kuzarian said.

Well dear, I guess it's a poltergeist!

The Wiccans walked around the house with lighted white candles looking for negative spirits. When the smoke from the candle became black, the Wiccans spread sage along the corners of the rooms. They also used sea salts and garlic. After that, a lot of frightening events stopped happening, she said.

Yep, those white candles should do the trick. Salt and garlic might work, but if not, you could use both to season your steak for a mid-day BBQ.

"Every once in a while I see someone standing at the door but nothing is there. It didn’t stop the activity, (but) it got rid of the bad stuff," she said.

Ok, fess up. Know any good haunted houses or have any good haunted house stories?
 
Poor woman, I understand what she is going through. My apartment is haunted by ghosts of billions of sperms who met their untimely deaths on its furniture. Every night they keep me up with their screaming about cruel genocide over hapless spermfolk, so I always have to masturbate myself to sleep.

P.S.

Welsh wasnt their a ghost thread about beliefs that became about stories not too long ago?
 
I think my sock drawer is haunted, the ghost in question makes one sock in each pair dissepear. There is also a ghost that hunts my cellphone and uses it to send disgusting messages to my friends when i'm drunk.
 
My dad is an administrator in a technical high school near our house. He gets paid extra to keep the school open at night for the night school. The building he sits in has no classrooms.

One night a year ago or so, the door behind him SLAMMED shut.. but its one of those doors that can't slam due to the pressurized thinger, you know what I mean? When he turned around and looked in the window of the door, he saw a woman's cape flowing and thought it was odd. When he opened the door, no one and nothing was there. He tried to slam the door, but couldn't.

One of the elvators in another building moves floors by itself at night. The night janitors don't like to get near it.

Supposedly, the school is built on top of an old woman's house. No explanation. Before that, SUPPOSEDLY that land was indian burial ground. My dad was gonna join the Scotch Plains Ghost Hunters to find out more, but never did.

Actually, round here we heard about a ghost. A young family had moved into a house, and they felt that something was wrong. They used to hear doors slamming when there was no wind. Then one night, when the father was out, the two children came downstairs and told their mother that one of their dolls was walking around the room talking, and then trying to strangle them. When she went into her room, all her suitcases were packed and piled up on the bed, as if to say "Leave."

Our Priest went round and sprinkled some Holy Water and said some prayers, and it all stopped.

All I can say is that obviously the Church of England produces higher standards in Anti-Ghosty treatment.
 
Ghosts are just glitches in the matrix.
I actually heard about some team, just like the ghostbusters but in new york. Seeing as my friend age 14 at the time told this to me im not sure what to think of it.
 
Cool thread.

When my wife and I were dating, I had flown her up to Minnesota (where I was on a short term work gig), and we went to a little place called Stillwater, and stayed at this bed and breakfast (http://www.sauntrymansion.com/)

It was built in 1881, and although it appears a fairly friendly place, we had an odd experience.

Our room was on the 2nd floor, and there is a hallway that leads down to a back staircase that was roped off. The hallway had another couple of doors off of it, before the stairway. Naturally, at night all of this was pitch black, with a little illumination closer to the main stairs.

Being the idiot I am, I decided to slip under the rope, and see if I could sneak up the staircase. I went under the rope, and the closer I got to the second door on the left, it seemed that the hallway got colder. When I came even with the door, I started getting chills throughout my body. This started to distrurb me a bit, so I decided to get back to my room.

I explained to my then girlfriend what happened, and she got a bit freaked out. Needless to say, we were up all night, talking about ghost stories.

The next morning, when we asked the owners whether there had been any deaths in the house, they indicated that one of the baron's nieces had died in a room on the second floor, past the roped off area.

I almost fell out of my chair when I heard that.
 
Interesting theory, keeping the cold off a corridor with a rope. Ratty, do people in your country ward off frost in the same way?

No, but we do use ropes to close off sections that are disused pending repairs.

Ghostbusters *did* take place in New York, technically.

Nice try, but there was heat right up to the door, and when I went back up there the next day, it was active.

Plus, would it gradually get cooler as you approached, not a sudden drop?

Bah, piss on your skeptical Rat man. :D
