The Insane Asylum can be found just off the Highlands Road.

Additionally, the place became abandoned before the popularity of the internet as well.

However, if you go up to the place you can see various broken windows and such. The building is covered in mildew and there is a very spacious basement.

In the proper sequence over and over, after a few seconds, I went towards it. I noticed it getting larger and larger as I came up to the grave. I then ran off in fear after getting too close and continued my walk. During the way back, I went back towards the same grave as I came upon the cemetery. I only found a glowing candle and assumed it was an electronic one at that. It was due to the lack of flicker and the wind blowing so slightly. I have walked alongside this place and even went inside it many times. The only other time, I noticed something was when my buddy Dave and I were taking a walk and went in at night. As I walked back out during my short walk around, I was chased by a white light. My buddy saw the same thing chasing me.

Minnesela was once the county seat of Butte County. It was founded in 1881, and is located three miles from Belle Fourche with which it has a closely entwined history.

U.S. 60 between Henderson and Corydon, KY — 4/14/2013

Greyhound buses or any other passenger bus in the U.S.A., well before our Interstate system was built, were known to pass slower gas powered semi trucks on two lane roads. This was the bus drivers very logical advancement of passengers on a timed schedule.

I suppose back then it was a trucker's goal to pass a Greyhound, but mostly it was just in their imaginations or prayers. I will admit it was never my goal. Dad's slower livestock semi trucks were passed a lot by big buses. Many times he had to brake his rigs load of big cattle to prevent close calls by buses.

Dad passed away on May 20, 1974. The following January 7, 1975 I was running empty and headed for my last load of hogs in we... The rest of this description is continued on StrangeUSA.com

AMC theater 3 — 3/6/2013

Whenever i worked on theaters 18 or 17 i always felt like i was being watched. my bodily sensors were always flying high and my music was the only comfort i had to get the job done. but i always felt like someone was watching me, like it was waiting. Again, after hours, but you might sense it if you wait alittle after everyone leaves.

AMC theater — 3/6/2013

Working at a theater at night is one thing. first word that comes to mind is "spooky". While working here i noticed that one of the elevators always stops on a certain floor when you go through the back to take it up to the 4th floor, its been fixed multiple times and it still does it. every now and again it often stops at the 2nd floor and opens, however nobody is there when it does this.

Owensville/ UFO's white lights via bright to dim! — 3/9/2013

In February of 2009 I was in front of our garage about 9:00 PM. For some reason I looked downwards to the left just before going back into the house. My peripheral vision picked up a bright light to view PDQ.

I looked upwards and there were four good sized white lights spaced in a row. This object unknown was well up there but I have no clue on it's altitude. There was no sound of an airplane, no blinking lights per FAA requirements and the lights were stationary. Five to six times the lights dimmed to yellow/amber, then back bright again. This sighting lasted about five minutes.

I ran into the old house to get my son out for a look. That took less than 45 seconds. We both looked up and there was nothing lit up like I had seen before. Giving up due to the disappointment, and just before we went back inside, I looked up once more.

We both saw a tiny white speed ball* heading across the night's sky to the South, and some middle distance East of where I'd se... The rest of this description is continued on StrangeUSA.com
