Is This Amelia? | M.P. Pellicer

Amelia Earhart disappeared July 2, 1937, on the last leg of a trans-world flight. Two years after their disappearance, Earhart and her navigator were declared dead. For all this time her fate has remained a mystery. Every few years someone claims to have found Amelia or her plane, but definitive proof has never been provided.

In 1938, a lighthouse on Howland Island was named for the aviatrix. This was the place where she was supposed to refuel before ending her travels after leaving Lae, New Guinea, however even though her radio transmission was heard by those on the island, she and her navigator Fred Noonan never arrived. The message heard was: "We must be on you but cannot see you — but gas is running low — have been unable to reach you by radio — we are flying at 1,000 feet."

The Secret of Crisfield Pond | M.P. Pellicer

Three boys were playing near an old mill pond on the outskirts of Crisfield, Maryland. An old man arrived carrying two bundles. He told the boys the sacks contained either puppies or kittens, which he meant to drown. After the man threw the sacks into the water and left, they retrieved one of the bags intent on saving the animals only to make a gruesome discovery.

Inside the bag was the headless bodies of two children, and just the head of an older child. One of the victims was perhaps 6 to 7 years of age, while the others were from a week to 6 months old.

Inez' Ghost | M.P. Pellicer

A few days before Christmas 1900, a twelve-year-old girl named Inez came home from school on Friday afternoon. She told her younger brother she was going inside for a moment, and when she failed to return he went to search for her; he saw something reflected in the mirror that faced the open closet that sent him screaming from the room.

What Otto Gibson saw reflected in the mirror of his sister's bedroom was her body hanging inside the closet. Her jump rope was tied around her neck. A servant girl who came upstairs ran to a neighbor's house for help, but when they arrived it was too late.

Ghosts of the British Raj | M.P. Pellicer

In 1903, Colonel Barog, a British engineer made a mistake in the building of Tunnel No. 33 on the Kalka-Shimla train route. Subsequently he was fined for wasting government money and publicly reprimanded, which humiliated him deeply. He rode his horse to the dark entrance of the unfinished tunnel, and shot himself in sheer desperation near what now is the state government-run Barog Pine Wood Hotel. He has never left the place since.

He was buried in front of the tunnel, and a signboard giving details about the sad end of Colonel Barog was put up near his grave, but that too has now disappeared. As a result, it is now even difficult to locate the whereabouts of his grave. Sightings of the engineer riding his horse from one end to the other, started almost immediately after his death. It is said that he tried to have conversations with those who see him.

The Mirror in Suite 72 | M.P. Pellicer

On October 24, 1905 Mary Jane Caley was staying in Suite 72 at The Aberdeen Hotel; the same one she had rented several times in the past. That day she had already bought her ticket to return by train to her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Then for some unfathomable reason she shot herself in the temple. Why would a wealthy, 21-year-old woman do this?

Manhattan, New York, 1901
Penn Station was under construction, and Macy's had opened on 34th St. Around the corner from Tiffany, B. Altman and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, plans were underway to build a new Beaux-Arts hotel. A style called apartment hotels, which were the latest thing for out-of-towners who needed a pied-a-terre, without the need to hire servants or worry about maintenance. Residents dined in a communal dining room or restaurant, and hotel staff catered to their needs.

The Bones at Ponce Park | M.P. Pellicer

White cottages were found under the live oaks at Ponce Park, which was known for being the haven of women with children, and anglers who came to fish. This normally placid place was stirred up when seven skeletons were discovered by postmaster Frank Stone when he dug up his back lot.

PONCE PARK, DAYTONA, FEBRUARY 1, 1915

Stone had been "grubbing" some palmetto, live oak and bay bushes near the east line of his property, and along the road leading south to the Ponce de Leon Inlet lighthouse. He broke the skull with his hoe, and once he realized it was a cranium he began a careful excavation. The entire skeleton was unearthed, and he kept digging and finally exhumed seven skeletons.

Zona's Revenge | M.P. Pellicer

Since time immemorial there have been stories of the spirits of murder victims coming back to point a finger at their killer and seek justice for themselves.

Such is the sad story of Zona Heaster Shue who lived in rural West Virginia at the turn of the 20th century.

ZONA AND THE STRANGER

Born Elva Zona Heaster in 1873, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, Zona’s life is something of a mystery before she met her eventual husband Erasmus Stribbling “Trout” Shue in 1896. Shockingly only a year prior to their meeting, the records of Greenbrier County indicate that when she was twenty-two years old on November 29, 1895, she bore an illegitimate male child, who’s supposed father was an unskilled laborer named George Woldridge.

The Ghosts of LaLaurie Mansion | M.P. Pellicer

In New Orlean's Vieux Carre sits a house with an old-fashioned facade. Even before the turn of the 20th century, the Franco-Spanish residents of the old faubourg would whisper, "la maison est hantee",

After nightfall many walked past it with hurried steps. They were afraid to peer upwards and see the figure of a ghost child that haunted the rooftop once decorated by a latticed belvedere.

The three-storied home at 1140 Royal Street (Rue Royale) stood empty and ruined for many years.

GHOSTS OF THE MAGIC CITY | M.P. Pellicer

Prickly skin, a feeling that you're being watched or there's someone standing right behind (when there isn't) and a drop in temperature are all the hallmarks of the unearthly.

In Miami there are certain places where you're more likely to have these encounters with the other side.

"It was a dark and stormy night", the overused trope of gothic novels and low-budget films, can cause one to overlook that amongst the humming of insects, and the stillness of sub-tropical humidity the spirits of those who don't lie easy in their grave make their presence known. The Magic City has its own sordid history of murder, suicides, violence and secret burials that can provide a cast of thousands that can cause a shiver down your spine even in 80 degree weather. These are some of those places.
