i would love to have me and the crew im in investigate this place because i have heard so much about it and would love to find out more
I live close by The Van Dyke Lounge and I have never heard about any ghost at this place.
Anything is possible it is a stockade. It has been around since the Civil War the French and Indian War a lot of various stuff is happening.
Been around since the Civil War? It was settled in 1600’s I believe, long before the Civil War. Bottom line is if “ghosts” or “spirits” do exist then there would be no place more likely to be haunted locally than the Stockade. I personally don’t but am still fascinated by the possibility.
217 union street that old looking church is haunted I stood there last night and I had an intense heavy feeling and it started to get cold in my room. I tried to sleep but could not. I left early in the morning and don’t want to go back.
