We here at The Atco Ghost website and blog do not physically investigate ghost sightings and paranormal activity. We do however search the internet and other publications for good information about such things and pass them along to you. The internet is flooded with articles, pictures, and lots of good information that you can use to explore the topic and draw your own conclusions. One such group that takes things very seriously is South Jersey Ghost Research. Their goal is to help everyone they can, free of charge, with their questions, concerns or fears of spirit activity in their home or business. Want to learn more?

They take hauntings and ghosts very seriously in the UK. This video was found on YouTube and we thought we’d share it. Remember that our ghosts are a couple hunderd years old and their history strtches back way farther than that. In other words, their ghosts have been around a lot longer. The website referenced in the video ( www.paranormaltavern.com ) has a lot of interesting stuff.

Ghost Hunting on Oregon’s Coast
by: Andre’ Hagestedt

The winds cut deeper and make progressively louder noises as the days shorten. Fog creeps in from the sea more often. And then Halloween shows up, as if to really remind us about things otherworldly. It’s no wonder Oregon’s northern coast has a load of ghostly tales swirling about. It’s no wonder the remake of “The Fog” currently in release is set in a fictional North Oregon Coast town.

For almost 100 years, the old Hotel Seaside (later named The Seasider) was a grandiose, beautiful building that was a sort of centerpiece to Seaside, at the Turnaround. So it’s no surprise that place acquired tales of apparitions and otherworldly guests over the years. There were numerous spirits that purportedly haunted it.

These days, the Shilo Inn sits in that spot. But when the old hotel was torn down, the spooks moved to Girtle’s Restaurant, just down the street on Broadway, according to owner Bob Girtle.

They talk of seeing the mysterious shadows of feet walking behind the door of a closed-off area of the kitchen, visible from the small space between the floor and the door. This happens when it’s not possible anyone else is in there, say Bob and his crew. They don’t even check that room anymore when they see the shadows.
