I had a thought come to me last night, so I followed the hunch. What I found was a book from 1908 called Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters. By H. Addington Bruce.

So I thought I would post one of the chapters from it.

The Devils of Loudun

Loudun is a small town in France about midway between the ancient and romantic cities of Tours and Poitiers. Today it is an exceedingly unpretentious and an exceedingly sleepy place; but in the seventeenth century it was in vastly better estate. Then its markets, its shops, its inns, lacked not business. Its churches were thronged with worshipers. Through its narrow streets proud noble and prouder ecclesiastic, thrifty merchant and active artisan, passed and re-passed in an unceasing stream. It was rich in points of interest, preeminent among which were its castle and its convent. In the castle the stout-hearted Loudunians found a refuge and a stronghold against the ambitions of the feudal lords and the tyranny of the crown. To its convent, pleasantly situated in a grove of time-honored trees, they sent their children to be educated.

It is to the convent that we must turn our steps; for it was from the convent that the devils were let loose to plague the good people of Loudun. And in order to understand the course of events, we must first make ourselves acquainted with its history. Very briefly, then, it, like many other institutions of its kind, was a product of the Catholic counter-reformation designed to stem the rising tide of Protestantism. It came into being in 1616, and was of the Ursuline order, which had been introduced into France not many years earlier. From the first it proved a magnet for the daughters of the nobility, and soon boasted a goodly complement of nuns.

At their head, as mother superior, was a certain Jeanne de Belfiel, of noble birth and many attractive qualities, but with character-istics which, as the sequel will show, wrought much woe to others as well as to the poor gentlewoman herself. Whatever her defects, however, she labored tirelessly in the interests of the convent, and in this respect was ably seconded by its father confessor, worthy Father Moussaut, a man of rare good sense
and possessing a firm hold on the consciences and affections of the nuns.

What started out as a search for buffalo bones, ends up as a 40 second video post. No bones, as I think they as likely under that lake.

I have received a very interesting report. Thank you to everyone visiting the site and also very much to those willing to shares their experiences.

Sir there are Five nother soldiers who will testify to what we are going to tell you. Nothing is blown out of proportion, or misconstrued in ANY WAY!!

About a month and a half ago I was medically evacuated back to the states from Afghanistan. I got an itch to return to the Asylum we went to before deployment.

Here is the first encounter...

Our first time there in Feb 2005 was unreal. Apon approach to the right side we hit cold pockets that were at least -25 degree difference in temp. as we went around the rear we heard voices inside. Then from the middle section we heard a very loud clang almost like a bed pan being thrown around.

We approached a small opening to crawl through a very bad static electricity field was seeming to shock us, all were on the neck and hands. Anything that was exposed! We made our way through the basement and three of the flash lights started flicking in and out, (all had new batteries from the wall mart which is in a town very close to Marcy).

You could hear whispers, talking, steps on the floor and a very uneasy presence seemed to brush bye you creating a draft. There was a very sulfery musty smell in one of the wings of the basement and on the opposite wing on the first floor, There was a very rotten smell of and on as well.

In one room a door shut and you could hear steps scurry away. It shut us all in a cell like room. After that we ran out And heard to bangs as we left running they seemed to almost trail close behind but nothing was there.


second encounter......

About a week ago we went back to The Old Marcy Insane Asylum.

Trudging through the waist deep snow was a battle. As we neared the building we all witnessed an apparition go past a right wing lower window..... Then came a sulfury smell OUTSIDE! There was this very terrible feeling among all of us, a sick but very bad feeling.

We stopped and listened and we could hear whispers inside. As we approached the entry point we all viewed yet again another image of some sort in a different upstairs window. We still entered as we made our way up' to the center room we heard foot steps running toward the stairs we were on.

We turned and ran out , but again reentered thinking it was maybe a "fluke". As we neared the same point It happened again . We stayed and it was very evident it was no people in there or animals. This was very loud!!! like a stampede of deer. then it stopped!!

We went further through the asylum we heard voices almost demonic at points. Very unsettling. The cold spots throughout the place were unreal as well as some odors and the rear guy on our column of "5" thought someone touched him. As we exited we all could visible see a "clench mark on the back of his sweatshirt. When we were leaving hastily we still heard voices, and had a horrible feeling among us until we exited..

sir I will send the pics in a day or so, we will go through them and sort the ones we think show good apparitions and orbs. thanks and we will send all we can. After this one guy is a firm believer in the other side.. Thanks again SGT SMITTY

Someone by the name of David, contacted me with a question, that was very similar to a thought I had, had shortly before.

So here is the question, and please share your thoughts.

"Do you, or maybe some people you know; think that many people born in the Roswell area have been influenced genetically (or perhaps on more of a energetic level) by extra-terrestrial DNA or some sort of manipulation?"

Thank you Kandas,

i live near a hollow called daves hollow in osborne br. at hi hat kentucky people say they are a little girl burried there and she walks the hollow every night..

I had a comment asking about ghosts that you see from the corners of your eyes. I think most of these would fall into the shadow people category.

From everything I've read, they seem to be a bleed through from somewhere else.
