Not that Wichita Falls is the most exciting place on Earth, but they will soon be offering cemetery tours, which I think would be really interesting.
Killough, TX
Aww, it is so quiet here. Let's get this community going again, it's fun!
Up in East Tx about an hour or so from Dallas toward the LA border is Killough Cemetery. For a background of what happened in the Killough settlement, here's a link!.
My family and some friends headed out to the Killough Cemetery one night after a bit of daring and double-daring.=) When they got down the long road toward the cemetery there were bright lights seen hovering over the cemetery and they stated there was a low-level greenish glow on the ground. Needless to say, they high-tailed it out of the area, haha.
There are a few pages that talk about the atmosphere out there
I plan on going out there one night when the weather improves for certain, but there are a number of stories of odd lights and sounds late at night out at the site.

Paranormal Gear Community
Not sure if anyone here would be interested or not but I've created a community intended to discuss the gear used in paranormal research. Anything from how and why it's used to questions about specific models,etc. I hope it will become a place where, for instance, you can can ask about a certain EMF meter you are thinking about buying and perhaps someone will have some experience with it, etc. Nothing's there yet, infact i'm the only member but hopefully that will change as people join.

Can anyone help me?
Hi! Remember me? I made this post and the one before it.
I recently drove by the abandoned factory in San Antonio Tx I briefly mentioned visiting one night to snap photos (Pictured here) and see if I couldn't get any paranormal activity. It brought it back to mind that I still know nothing about the factory. I had consulted a friend of mine who said I should do as much research on the factory as possible and see if I couldn't find out what had happened there.
I've done a lot of on-line research because all I can find out from the few people who know something about the factory is that there was a explosion there about 50-60 years ago that killed a lot of people. Confirmed by several people, (including one whose grandfather worked there and I'm waiting for him to ask his grandfather and get back to me, so far he keeps forgetting) who have all said about the same thing. Now, you'd think that there would be records of an explosion at a factory/silo/refinery/quarry (I've googled and used yahoo with all four terms) and so far I've come up with nothing. This seems highly suspect to me. I've found similiar stories from the same time period but in the wrong area of town. I've used mySA.com and short of going downtown for records of the land, I've pretty much hit a dead end.
Doesn't this seem a bit unusual to anyone else? That there was an explosion that killed people and no easily accessible record of it? I'm very curious about this place, its history and why there is so much paranormal activity there. So if anyone else lives in the San Antonio area and knows anything about the abandoned factory over off of Wurzback Parkway, please let me know. Also, if anyone's parents/grandparents lived in South Texas during that time period, perhaps you could ask them if they heard anything about it on the news (a tragedy of that scale should have been mentioned in more than just San Antonio, I'm sure) for me? I'd be really grateful.

Well you asked, I'm deliverin'
I would have had these up sooner, but I zonked on the couch with my daughter. lol bad ole me. But yes, I got them all uploaded.
Anyway, there are three sub-galleries, the first one has all the pictures and the explanation to go with them as its more dial-up friendly and the pictures I had to change the brightness/contrast so people with regular monitors could view them. I also put up the original pictures with nothing done to them in anyway, and the last gallery is the same pictures from the first gallery, but saved at a much higher quality than the first, so they take a long time to open. Even for me and I have DSL.
Here's the link to the first gallery, which you're welcome to look over anything that's there in all three galleries. (and if you have a flat screen or LCD monitor, you can go straight to the original pictures and view those. I only made the other copies because regular monitors aren't bright enough to see whats there in the darkness) the dial-up friendly gallery The first six pictures in each gallery are from the haunted factory, mostly known as fear factory around San Antonio.

This is an awesome community and you guys are more than welcome to look over my recent ghost hunting expeditions! :)

Hi, wanted to introduce myself!
My real name is Lisa, I live in the San Antonio area. I've lived in at least two haunted houses in my recollection.
For a long time, I've had an interest in the paranormal. Probably because weird things have happened to me almost my entire life. When I was very young, I once ran into an invisible wall. I stopped, couldn't go further and was confused because there was nothing in front of me. I was outside, playing in the car port, I tried to move again and it was suddenly gone. During the same time, whenever we were at the mall, I always felt someone touching my bum. A physical touch. I would turn and there would be nobody there! This only ever happened to me at the mall.
The house my mom now lives in, in the NE side of town, when we first moved into it, was haunted. I won't go into details because it would require an explanation too long for a first time poster, but things mysteriously were moved from one place and then moved back where they had been placed originally and something tossed a small piece of crayon at me, which landed in the middle of my floor, I was sitting at least two feet away from my bed, which were bunk beds, so I doubt it would have fallen from my bed, seeing as I was facing away from the bed and the crayon fell right in front of me.
The house my dad lives in now, as my parents are divorced, has a strange presence that only haunts the stairs and the upstairs area. The longer I lived there, the more intense the feeling that there was someone or something watching me from that staircase. I still get the chills whenever I remember that feeling. It was creepy.
Recently, my fiance who shares my passion for the paranormal, we both decided to see if we couldn't get something on camera. We've both experienced in his parents' house being touched by something, maybe flicked is a better term. It wasn't just a soft touch, it was like someone had flicked us both on the side of our chests with their finger. We looked at each other and tried to eliminate any possibility of it being our jewelry having swung around and hit us, but there is no way. He was laying on top of the cross he wears around his neck and my jewelry was hanging from my neck on a very short chain. (We were snuggling with me on top of him on his bed when it happened) Freaked us both out.
Anyway back to my tale. We recently went out to an abandoned factory to take some pictures because we'd heard it was haunted, we got a few strange things in those pictures that got us excited, so we decided to go elsewhere. To Commanche Look Out Hill, which is renowned for being haunted. I've been up there at night myself before and saw someone standing off in the shadows. But when we left, the figure was no longer there. This time around, we brought my digital camera with us and started up the trails and started snapping pictures. Even in the small viewscreen of my camera, I saw a few orbs and when I snapped off another picture, the orbs had moved on down the path. The more I snapped off pictures, the more orbs I saw and the more they darted away. By this time, we had rounded to the back side of the hill and were heading up, when I started to feel very opressed. I had been feeling like we should not have been there, but we pressed on until it got darker and we both stopped at one point and my fiance told me to snap a picture, so I did. When I looked at the viewscreen, I saw something in it that made me exclaim, I snapped another one and it was no longer there, but running off down the path. I could barely breathe though, so I told my fiance we needed to leave and aloud I told the spirits around us that we would go now and just to let us leave. Almost as soon as we got back on the path that led to our car, I could breathe again and felt more relaxed. We got back home and I looked over the pictures and the activity there was just amazing! I will upload the pictures to my lj scrapbook later and if anyone is interested in seeing the photos from last night or our trip to the factory, please let me know.
We're both very interested in paranormal activity. My fiance has his own set of tales to tell about his childhood and what's happened to him, and his are much more intense than anything I've ever experienced before, but I seem to have more of a sensitivity to it than he does. He did not feel the opression last night and I could feel it very accutely. I should get back to looking over those pictures. This is a first for us!
