The second night, around 12:30-1:30 a.m.was different. My adult son and I had heard a few strange noises/voices, but nothing all that extraordinary. We were actually on our way out, when a strange white figure about 4 feet high appeared at the driver side of my car when I was stopped at a stop sign. We watched in disbelief for about 20 -30 seconds. It then darted behind the vehicle and appeared at the front of the passenger side. It then disappeared from sight, but we felt it was very close by, like perhaps under, or in the car. The feeling became overwhelming, and I sped off for about a quarter mile. My advice is that you pack your patience and realize that it may take a while or even a couple visits, but you are quite likely to experience a supernatural event in this haunted place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300410301979964987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-20339543448015253562019-08-09T09:19:47.746-04:002019-08-09T09:19:47.746-04:00Me and a couple of friends went to the road last n...Me and a couple of friends went to the road last night.

Too many too count in hours of research. We debunked many of the stories and legends however, we did get proof in photos and EVPs of unexplainable events. Many of the spooky stories you hear are nothing more than scary stories to keep people away from there due to illegal hunting. They dont want to be caught. Most of the stories from the last 50 or so years are because of just that. The evidence we did get were either well documented from hundreds of years ago or bearing an attachment of sorts to those experiences. With that being said, ALL of the evidence we collected came from simply walking the road. There is no need to leave the road and enter the woods. Probably the oddest thing we come across down there are ...people...living breathing very strange people. All in various forms of intoxication or can you say mental maladies each with their own incredible "experiences". Old House Woods Rd and Haven beach Rd are great to do what the old folks did back in the day of taking your date somewhere to spook them in hopes of a tighter hug. But if your going down there for some sort of John Carpenter movie experience..you will be disappointed. Things do go bump in the night...and it just might be me with a flashlight and camera! Happy Spookin yall!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617217844924634286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-16524235135121817932016-09-04T21:53:56.152-04:002016-09-04T21:53:56.152-04:00Oh man!

The 200-yard narrow lane leading to "Haunted Woods" or "Old House Woods" takes you to the Colonial Homestead, which was on the left; a 2-story structure. There was a barn or storage structure just to the left of the home that was in disrepair, and the outhouse was to the right of the home. Continuing SE past the home you entered a trail that took you to the bay and the best raw oysters on the planet! Swamp gas was sort of spooky, but we, as children, we were not raised to fear ghosts, i.e. "I ain't afraid of no ghost!"<br />Don Winant<br />Spokane, WA<br />Old House Woods Occupant (1960-1969)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-14436291320726307942010-12-16T08:07:17.013-05:002010-12-16T08:07:17.013-05:00I love Old House Woods stories!
