Haunted New York Is Interesting

By Christa Jarvis


There are many people within Manhattan who truly believe in ghosts and demons. Each of these individuals really think that there is a haunted New York which is really interesting. For years tenants at places such as The Morris-Jumel Mansion, The Dakota, The Campbell Apartment, The House of Death, 12 Gay Street, St. Mark's Church In-The-Bowery, The Merchant House and The Manhattan Well have been frightened by spirits.

Individuals are never prepared for what they will experience at The Morris-Jumel Mansion. Sometimes everyone will go in with a closed mind since many people do not believe in spirits. They quickly change their opinion once they meet the ghostly figure of a teacher who once resided in this place. She really does not like noise and will discipline any obedient individual. Along with this old spinster people will have the chance to hear a talking clock which hangs on the wall. Also, many of the historic pictures come to life without warning.

In order to receive an even bigger thrill many vacationers like to visit The Dakota. This old place became well known for its odd look decades ago. A director named Roman Polanski decided to film his movie "Rosemary's Baby" in this horrid place. Years after the movie was made individuals state that they can see and hear a small girl running through the hallways. This apparition is not scary at all since she smiles at people. The great musician John Lennon was killed at this location in 1980 and he is also still around.

Residents at 57th street all know the story about the mean Frenchman named Brazelle. He had stole another man's wife and then murdered the gentleman in cold blood. His first victim was named Albert Champion and he was a well liked fellow. Later on Brazelle killed his wife in a fit of rage.

Her faithful servants then murdered this evil male who made her life truly miserable. His ghost is still residing at the building and people can also hear her walking around in special shoes. The couple's horrible arguments can also be heard whenever it gets dark.

The House of Death is well known for its ghostly apparitions which appear from time to time. The famous writer named Mark Twain once lived within these dwellings and he experienced many strange happenings. According to Twain there were a total of twenty-two spirits residing at The House of Death. Each of these spirits had died tragically and they were never going to leave this establishment. Even the great gentleman known as Mark Twain is now walking around the house.

All of these places had some form of tragedy happen at them and they are quite scary to visit. Some people are not bothered by the strange noises that happen within these old buildings. During Halloween many of the residents will host parties which are centered around these ghostly events.

Edgar Allen Poe is still living at Furman Hall which is located at New York University. Mr. Poe's spirit is seen by many of the faculty and students who come to this campus every day.
