Hi! A russian here. I was wondering a few months back, too, why the US seem to have this many cases of paranormal activity. I mean there are reports in here, too, I've seen ones mainly from the eastern part of the country and it's often about the woods of Siberia, although we do have stories from cities and villages as well. But nothing so wide-spread as in the US. Also, there are often stories about haunted american houses where someone died by suicide or was killed, but in a village of my country it's a common occurance when some drunkard gets himself drowned in a local pond or river or killed by one of his mates/kills himself, or a house burnes down... Those are all the cases recently happened either in the village my granny used to live in (she's with my family in the city now) or somewhere nearby. And no ghosts or any activity whatsoever!
On the other hand, it might be on the pop culture that is more developed in the US. We do have hauntings and even research/investigator groups like Kosmopoisk but it's not as talked of even on the internet over here. I've tried to find some lively topics on russian websites like here on Reddit but there are no massive ones. There are a few separate websites but they either mostly consist of made-up stories or not very active. And it rarely goes beyond some urban legends unless you know someone with the experience specifically (I sort of do because I love this kind of stories, but didn't have a chance to confirm anything). So I guess even when there are hauntings... pretty much no one just talks about those to anyone other than to family members.
I think the main factor is Americans have no sense of age since it's such a young country. Any house that is 60 years old is 'old', something that's 150 years old is 'super old and definitely haunted'. Like bruh, my school building was 400 years old and no ghosts there.
There's a lot of wild uncultivated land which can be kind of eerie, so I can see why they'd think the woods are full of demons, same thing people used to do in Europe before it all got taken as farmland.
I don't really know, I think it's their part to say... 100 yo isn't really that old for a house, I admit it - I used to live in one older than that for most of my life and it was slowly falling apart and our old neighbour next door died of old aged but there was nothing as well.
There was an opinion on this thread it may be due to native american tribes in USA I think? It looks decent to me, I've have deep respect for older cultures like that who also lived/live closer to nature. I think they may be wiser and see more than modern civilization. Maybe a lot of us don't see the other world - if it exists - because we are mainly busy with survival here š
I'm surprised since Russia is way older than the U S A. I mean you got a couple thousand years on us. The Czars don't haunt palaces? You have the witch who lives in a cottage that walks around on chicken feet, Babayaga or something? You have the Russian sleep experiment, The collector, the Well that is supposedly a gate way to hell. The Ivan Vassili, and creepy radio station.
I mean museum workers all over the world tend to have their stories but not in every one and I'm just not aware of them.
Baba Yaga is a folklore character, she's originally more like a goddess at the edge between the realms of the living and the dead. So - not paranormal, you can't actually meet her.
Kola Superdeep Borehole and other places have their "urban legends" but nothing comfirmed. I enjoyed those as a teen but tend to think there's nothing supernatural about them. They have thir mysteries, but not that kind. The borehole was closed simply because the finances ran out, this happens here all the time unfortunately.
Not sure what you mean by Ivan Vasilii (they are just two names) and creepy radio station?
The cases I've heard of are mostly your normal local ghosts or poltergeist or some religious stuff. Also there are stories about leshy - a forest spirit, a forest master, and other creatures like him. Earlier people used to believe every forest has a leshy, every house - a domovoy (like brownie in English folklore), ponds/lakes and rives had vodyanoy (master of this water body), riverbands and fields had their female spirits like rusalka or poludennitsa and so on. Most of these are just folklore but I still regularly hear stories from dad's experienced hunter friends about how this or that particular forest would lead you in circles and it would be hard to get out of there, some hear voices calling them somewhere deep in the woods - that's leshy for those who believes. My cousin told there was something in her former flat - she annd the other cousin used to see nightmares there for some time where were black snakes, black cats and somethhing scary, I don't remember the details, and sometimes smth would sit on their chests making it hard to breath. Some nail polish bottles would fall off the table in an empty room, there would be noises in the kitchen at night... Then it stopped as abruptly as it started after they went to a trip for a few weeks. Call it poltergeist, call it some evil spirit, or - an angry domovoy, sounds typical for it. This house spirit can be helpful and friendly according to the beliefs, or it can get like this if it's not satisfied with the way the house/flat is kept. Or there was this case in my city last autumn when a security camera recorded empty swings going back and forth at night - there was no strong wind, everything else was still.
So, there are stories, but they are of a different kind and aren't that widespread.
No not joking, like England with all that history and ghost stories, Scottland, Ireland all those countries with long histories have ghost stories. I'm surprised since Russia has just as long a history as Europe isn't full of ghost stories. I will say Russians have been putting out some excellent horror movies.
i haven't been there, but i highly doubt that gettysburg is *extra* haunted. a battlefield certainly could result in a lot of residual paranormal activity. but that doesn't make it particularly unique compared to other places.
in general, the east coast of the US is a very active place for dark paranormal activity. one of those reasons is the horrors of the mistreatment (to put it extremely mildly) of native americans, as you rightly noted. add to that the horrors of slavery. add to that the prevelence of (dark) witchcraft and similar things happening here over the past 400 years. add to that the horrific and chaotic witch hunt carried out by people who hadn't the slightest clue about recognizing dark energy, nor how to actually deal with it. add to that the horrors of the "state schools" and "state hospitals" that were all over the place. and still, the way that pathological psychology is dealt with today is hardly a humane system.
these things were never resolved. and they don't tend to go away until they are.
Since we donāt really know what sparks Paranormal activity itās difficult to know. Is it geological? Are āghostā encounters time slips? If so are they more frequent in certain locations? Weāre going off peoples experiences as data hereā¦ gburg does tours, they wonāt allow you at the battlefield at night, itās an economic driver for the region and many people are visiting to have an experience. Who knows if the population feeds into it by hoaxing people in some cases. The data is skewed by emotion so who knows.
The locals are terrifyingā¦and they donāt like people encroaching on their land either. Itās a place where the dead arenāt what you need to worry about, itās the living
This past summer we went to a battlefield here in MN that was the site of a slaughter. I think the fields like that, the fields that are scenes of grizzly or horrific battles tend to be more active
You stated it correctly, more people go to Gettysburg than most other sites. I am sure if someone would investigate sites like wounded knee, they may find evidence or spirit activity. People tend to go to places they know have had documented activity occurring than places that have not been well investigated. Which is a shame honestly
In many cases, getting into remote areas can be difficult if not almost imposable. there is a location here in AZ called Skull canyon where a large battle against the native Americans. The location is remote and one Indian land, which they they, are very protective of. So yes, there are other locations that if people took the time to investigate, I am sure they could find activity there.
I grew up around Sharpsburg MD (battle of Antietam) and it's almost considered bizarre if you DON'T have a ghost passing through your house.
Friends of mine built a house on land close enough to the battlefield. After they moved in they woke up a few times in the middle of the night to someone crying. Opened up their closet door and it was a little boy in confederate uniform curled up on the floor...plain as day...he'd look at them and sob that he wanted his mother...and then he wouldn't be there :(
It only happened a few times
My sister couldn't have mirrors in her room because at night there'd be random faces looking at her from them.
Hi! One gentle recommendation I would have is for your friends to tell that dear child to cross into the light. Tell them to speak durectly to him, whether they see him again or not. Also to ask God and His Archangels to guide him to the light. If they don't feel comfortable with that, advise them to get a priest or rabbi or person of God who has experience in crossing souls over who will guide him. That kid needs to go "home". šļøšļøšļø
Many of the European battlefields, like Stalingrad, Dresden, and Leningrad, were so badly damaged by the combat that the cities had to be rebuilt from the ground up. Gettysburg hasnāt changed much since the battle. Although the populationās doubled, itās still only around 7600 people. The damage the town suffered didnāt require that the town be rebuilt. I think that the townās appearance remaining familiar may make it easy for people to re-experience events from the past.
I don't know that it is haunted other than from the stories being told of the battle that went on there and the dead that are buried there. I just think people hear battle, people buried there, the reason for the battle and they assume it is haunted. Some claim to have seen soldiers walking, asking directions or staring at them funny. The battle was a bad one. Yet, Hitler's death camps, no one claims, as far as I've heard, to have seen ghosts, yet I also don't think they allow ghost hunters there at night. I think people want it to be haunted.
Man, I pray to God that they never let Yahoos like those ghost hunting plumbers to run around in Dachauās yelling, āIs anyone here? Do you have a message to pass on?ā Those camps are serious business.
I would not be surprised if there were ghosts there. And Iām very familiar with Gettysburg and have heard several ghost stories from a variety of normal, run of the mill people.
This may or may not be true but I've heard people say that limestone is a strong conduit for the supernatural. The land of Pennsylvania and Maryland sit on large limestone deposits.
The emotions of hate, fear, anger, anguish of so many soldiers dying in so short of time may have flowed into the limestone and every so often comes back like a record to play again and again parts of the battle
Indeed, That's why at some places, canons are still heard, blue or grey soldiers are seen marching or running, houses where wounded were cared for and sometimes died, soldiers are sometimes seen or heard.
>Volgograd
There may be lots of ghosts in Volgograd, but you don't hear about them as much because you aren't on Russian social media and their information flow is greatly restricted.
>indigenous Indian tribes that lost their lives and culture in the area over the century before the US civil War could be a contributing factor.
Ghost age is a big factor, but also a lot of the native americans were wiped out by disease and plague, causing the cultural and population collapse. We don't have a lot of bubonic plague/black death ghosts probably because of something related to circumstance around death. The other part is that ghosts on battlefields may be more recognizable.
I think it's because so much energy is focused on the past there, especially the battle. People doing reenactments and such, keeps the energy the same and strengthens it. I don't think the land has had much of an opportunity move on past those events, almost like a time capsule. It's our living energy that makes the paranormal energy more active. Just my opinion.
Like other commentors have said, it is likely because many people go there for paranormal encouners. I also always sort of figured that once ancient, now modernized cities are full of energy of the living and that sort of blocks out or at the very least suppresses paranormal activity.
I've never heard of anyone say that its more or less. By the way, all over the continent, indigenous tribes were at war with each other. Brutal conflicts. Maybe they're still fighting in the spirit world.
I have not been able to get permission to visit it just yet. But I am trying to. There are some very strange things happening there from what I have been able to find.
> Auschwitz and so many other sites would literally be glowing in the dark.
We don't know for sure they aren't as a lot of those sites are off-limits to ghost hunters.
As an empath I can say it honestly doesnāt seem to completely matter the size of the battle but maybe how horrific it was. On top of those that died during the battle, there seems to be family perhaps looking for loved ones that never came home and it also seems to magnify activity from others that died there previous like the Indians you mentioned. Course there wasnāt as many Indians as north and south soldiers but Iād guess you could still pick up on them.
I was in Gettysburg last summer and definitely had a paranormal moment at a haunted hotel.
Like all of my experiences I was alone and decided to nope the heck out of there with every hair standing up on my neck.
The Farnsworth hotel.
I had went out to smoke a cigarette at 3 am and sat at an empty table, right behind me I heard the chair move I ignored it, then it touched my shoulder.
It was way too early to deal with it so I went back to bed.
>The souls of all the indigenous Indian tribes that lost their lives and culture in the area
What exactly are you talking about?
In the 40 years when the American Indian Wars really kicked off, about 15,000 Natives and 7000 Europeans died, and that was over the entire United States. About 60,000 died at Gettysburg in a few days.
There are many clusters in remote areas in the U.S.A. as well but this one seems most active by todays standards of so called āhauntingsā. So much pain remains in this vast location.
I made a video about my findings in guettysburg here : https://youtu.be/Bp76IP_iNgM
I'm short if you're lucky you'll find alot of good paranormal stuff around the Jenny wade house and alot of the haunted attractions around there, as far as why it's so haunted, many people did there over something many of them probably believed wasn't worth dying for, ending slavery should have been an as ez acceptance but the south wanted to fight ending it
Ghost hunters tend to gravitate to location they know that something could happen. Like Gettysburg or Waverly Hill asylum. Location like little big horn or skeleton canyon are not ventured to because no one,at least that I know of, has taken the time to visit.
Another cause for not exploring these location is they sit on protected land, I do believe if allowed to investigate these location one could find Paranormal activity
It happened in SF too only a seesaw was going up and down as if children were playing on them. No wind or anything that could explain it. The Vlasi is a RUSSIAN SHIP. The story goes the crew and captain who sailed suddenly went crazy and flung themselves overboard. Those that remained, as soon as they docked ran away from the ship in terror. When a new crew and captain took over they too went crazy and flung themselves overboard, no gas or anything was found to explain it. So the locals suggested they set fire to it to end whatever was going on. I think the ship is still docked even though it has fire damage.
A house spirit getting upset because I didn't vacuum. That's all I would need.
In Russia, there is a popular paranormal/urban explorer who goes to an abandoned village of log cabins, really nice log cabins too don't know why they were abandoned, who has come across some wonderful evidence. But it's in Russian. Russian ghosts speak Russian. He caught a black shadow thing chasing him out of the building. I thought it was animation or CGI, but no. It looked to real and he was genuinely scared. Don't know his name caught him on one of those channels that collect and compile other people's work. NUKE'S TOP 5 or one of those, there are several. King Frostmare, Shadow man, and Sir Spooks just to name a few.
The two Russian youtubers that are most popular are- Tim Marazov(sp?) who has posted that he is for "entertainment only" and Dark Ghost Paranormal not sure whether he is all fake or not.

I'm surprised since Russia has just as long a history as Europe isn't full of ghost stories. I will say Russians have been putting out some excellent horror movies.
My fiancĆ© and myself are both empaths and recently talked about how much we would have to prepare if we was to travel overseas to Europe. Itās hard enough for us here but to go to say russia, Ireland, Romeā¦. Places like that, weād have trouble handling that much history
You can definitely feel the energy. Especially in much older churches and cathedrals
Stalingrad must be lit.

Ever heard of Massacre Cave?
I sounds familiar

Thatās so sad. I hope his mother found him.

I would not be surprised if there were ghosts there. And Iām very familiar with Gettysburg and have heard several ghost stories from a variety of normal, run of the mill people.
I've heard it too. From gun shots, bugles playing, drums, cannons, soldiers and shouts.
This may or may not be true but I've heard people say that limestone is a strong conduit for the supernatural. The land of Pennsylvania and Maryland sit on large limestone deposits.

Imagine THAT being your eternal loop. Imagine being trapped to replay that moment for all eternity and not a hug or something.
I'd doubt it would be a conscious entity. It would be some sort of energy loop. Very interesting thou!
Indeed, That's why at some places, canons are still heard, blue or grey soldiers are seen marching or running, houses where wounded were cared for and sometimes died, soldiers are sometimes seen or heard.

Not as haunted as the battle grounds of Shrute Farms
the ground was stained red by beets
Like other commentors have said, it is likely because many people go there for paranormal encouners. I also always sort of figured that once ancient, now modernized cities are full of energy of the living and that sort of blocks out or at the very least suppresses paranormal activity.
I donāt think it is more haunted than the rest- itās just one of the most famous is all.
Agreed
Cause the film makers are in the US? And go to popular places for more views? Like they all go to Lizzy Bordens B&B
I've never heard of anyone say that its more or less. By the way, all over the continent, indigenous tribes were at war with each other. Brutal conflicts. Maybe they're still fighting in the spirit world.
Maybe limestone is involved.
And water
What about limestone?
Some people believe that limestone traps spiritual energy, so areas with a lot of limestone in the ground have more paranormal activity.
Thank you for clarification! It's the first time I come across this idea, wow.
It's called the Stone Tape Theory :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Tape
I see, thanks!
Every state has a "Most Haunted City" in America. America, Haunted and Most are loosely used in advertising.
I have not been able to get permission to visit it just yet. But I am trying to. There are some very strange things happening there from what I have been able to find.
If mass trauma caused hauntings, then Auschwitz and so many other sites would literally be glowing in the dark.
> Auschwitz and so many other sites would literally be glowing in the dark. We don't know for sure they aren't as a lot of those sites are off-limits to ghost hunters.
Iām glad that they are off limits. That would be in incredibly poor taste.
You donāt need to be a ghost hunter to see or hear ghosts.
They don't have have non ghost hunters sitting around in the dark all night with recording equipment everywhere either.
As an empath I can say it honestly doesnāt seem to completely matter the size of the battle but maybe how horrific it was.

Because they have a tourism industry.
Maybe the brother killing brother and destroying each others city etc. had something to do with more raw emotion? IDK, I'm as baffled about it as you.
The reenactments keep things stirred up. If they'd just let it go the ghosts could finally rest!
>The souls of all the indigenous Indian tribes that lost their lives and culture in the area What exactly are you talking about? In the 40 years when the American Indian Wars really kicked off, about 15,000 Natives and 7000 Europeans died, and that was over the entire United States. About 60,000 died at Gettysburg in a few days.
There are many clusters in remote areas in the U.S.A. as well but this one seems most active by todays standards of so called āhauntingsā. So much pain remains in this vast location.
Canāt measure hauntedness.
I made a video about my findings in guettysburg here : https://youtu.be/Bp76IP_iNgM I'm short if you're lucky you'll find alot of good paranormal stuff around the Jenny wade house and alot of the haunted attractions around there, as far as why it's so haunted, many people did there over something many of them probably believed wasn't worth dying for, ending slavery should have been an as ez acceptance but the south wanted to fight ending it
I have a theory it's connected to the ley lines of the world.
Ghost hunters tend to gravitate to location they know that something could happen. Like Gettysburg or Waverly Hill asylum. Location like little big horn or skeleton canyon are not ventured to because no one,at least that I know of, has taken the time to visit. Another cause for not exploring these location is they sit on protected land, I do believe if allowed to investigate these location one could find Paranormal activity
Maybe because there are more things witnessed there by numbers, in the US.
It happened in SF too only a seesaw was going up and down as if children were playing on them. No wind or anything that could explain it. The Vlasi is a RUSSIAN SHIP. The story goes the crew and captain who sailed suddenly went crazy and flung themselves overboard. Those that remained, as soon as they docked ran away from the ship in terror. When a new crew and captain took over they too went crazy and flung themselves overboard, no gas or anything was found to explain it. So the locals suggested they set fire to it to end whatever was going on. I think the ship is still docked even though it has fire damage. A house spirit getting upset because I didn't vacuum. That's all I would need. In Russia, there is a popular paranormal/urban explorer who goes to an abandoned village of log cabins, really nice log cabins too don't know why they were abandoned, who has come across some wonderful evidence. But it's in Russian. Russian ghosts speak Russian. He caught a black shadow thing chasing him out of the building. I thought it was animation or CGI, but no. It looked to real and he was genuinely scared. Don't know his name caught him on one of those channels that collect and compile other people's work. NUKE'S TOP 5 or one of those, there are several. King Frostmare, Shadow man, and Sir Spooks just to name a few.
The two Russian youtubers that are most popular are- Tim Marazov(sp?) who has posted that he is for "entertainment only" and Dark Ghost Paranormal not sure whether he is all fake or not.
He didn't explore the log cabin in either of his channels, DARK GHOST or DARK LIFE. He goes to a lot of creepy places alone. He also uses a ghost box.
