I can't believe nobody has mentioned the ghost, Bob, from Island View Lodge. The fishing guides should have lots of stories about him and also the waitresses and bartenders.

I belive the farm Anton was talking about was Lookabills old farm. Never heard of any haunting stuff tho.

There is a ghost of a woman

There is a ghost of a woman name Mable that haunts Kmart. She is only active at night. Especially after the store closes, when the overnight crew is there. She would move objects and throw items on the floor when there is no way that item could fall on its own. Sometimes you will hear a woman whispering in the next isle. When you go look there is no one around. But she is a friendly ghost.

My mother and father mentioned often, things about them little monsters also, often in disparaging words. I assume we are talking about the same little monsters but I reckon they are all ghosts now. See you next halloween MamaG.

LOL...great story. Now, I'm not really sure if the house we used to live in was haunted or not but several strange things would happen at certain times of the day and night in certain areas of the house. Strangest of all was the upstairs bathroom toilet would flush all by itself at precisely 12 noon each day. In the living room the smell of a lit match was noticeable then the smell of a cigar always near the entrance as if a man's easy chair may have been placed there at one time. All of the smoke alarms would go off at intervals as if playing "musical alarms". My youngest sons toy (battery operated) firetruck and helicopter would sound off suddenly...at night when everyone was asleep or everyone was downstairs having dinner, etc. And last but not least, there was always this feeling someone was watching you when you went down in the basement. The way the basement was set up was kind of creepy.

The Viking Bar and the Outpost are routinely haunted by lost souls, especially on weekends and major holidays.

Does Borderland have any places that are haunted?

Laurel Beager — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:04:31 -0500

Halloween started out cool, dark and a little creepy.

Makes us think there must be some haunted places in Borderland.
