All American Horror: Gateways to Hell Page #3

Synopsis: Various locations on the surface of the earth have acquired a legendary reputation for being entrances to the underworld. In Ashe County, North Carolina residents have reported all manner of ghostly phenomena including apparitions of women, sounds of crying babies and phantom hitchhikers, one of which may have been none other than Lucifer himself. When Roxanne Wentworth purchased a beautiful set of iron gates from a local cemetery, she unknowingly turned her property into a gateway to the beyond. Paranormal events are now chronicled on a nightly basis. In Wilmington, North Carolina, Gallows Hill (which was once the city's hanging ground) is now a commercial office. Though the gallows are long gone, the unclaimed bodies of countless poor souls who hit the end of a rope are still buried in mass graves. These restless spirits continue to walk the grounds, and hallways of the property. The spirits of those executed are angry and to this day nobody has successfully spent a night alone in th

dropped down. This is great.

It put a shiver up my spine

I'll never forget, so eery

looking.

John Hirchak:
One evening I

was in the home alone, I was

helping out with

a fundraiser, and while I was

here I was carrying a box into

the front parlor and I

was bringing the box in I had

a breath of pipe tobacco blown

into my face.

I had heard about the pipe

tobacco odor experiences but I

never had it happen myself.

I wasn't sure exactly what to

do, I walked around the room

sniffing the air trying to

figure out where the odor

exactly was coming from and

that's when I stumbled

across the rocking chair. It

was rocking back and forth a

good four

inches and there was no one in

the chair. So rightfully I

panicked and I ran out of

the house and these odors

which still persist to this

day may appear to be

strange however they were the

same last request of many of

those how perished here.

One evening my wife and I were

here for an event at this home

and while we were here

she took a stroll to the back

of the house with a friend.

While they were back there

they noticed a shadowy figure

through the windows.

They panicked and they came

racing to me and I came to the

back of the home to

investigate but I couldn't

find any shadowy figure there.

Later on I came into the home

and I searched the whole area

and there was no

one in here.

The shadowy figure has been

seen in this home. There have

been images of an old man's

face that had been seen in

windows, certainly the shadowy

figure a figure in

black and that seems to run

from the back of the house to

the side of the house.

A few years ago a couple of

reporters received permission

to spend the night at

this home to do a story on the

unusual occurrences here.

While they were here they set

up a recorder in the front

parlor.

Later that evening they

decided to go out and take a

cigarette break so they put

the

recorder on Record.

They went outside and returned

20 minutes later.

When they rewound the tape,

put it on Play, part way into

it they heard a male

voice runt and say "Help me."

This was quite startling but

no more startling when they

heard another voice

from directly behind them

saying the exact same thing.

The two panicked, turned

around, found no one there.

However, a moment later a

solid oak conference table in

that room began to

pound up and down on the

floor.

The two reporters flew out of

that room.

People often ask where they

can go to experience ghosts in

Wilmington.

Of course the prime location

we feel is the old Gallows

Hill home, BMS Architects.

It is the most actively

haunted home in Wilmington.

We experience things here

weekly on our tours and it

hasn't stopped in seven years

now.

Lew Musser:
Totally paranormal

scene that really worked well

for my tour and I

appreciate the spirits'

cooperating in that manner.

Male Speaker:
Can you actually

bring ghosts into your house.

It's long been believed that

some ghosts are attached to

furniture.

But what happens when the

artifacts you bring home is

from a cemetery?

Roxanne Wentworth of

Wappingers Falls, New York,

brought home a beautiful pair

of

iron gates that were being

discarded by her local

cemetery and discovered

a terrifying secret.

Roxanne Wentworth: It was very

strange how we came to get the

cemetery gates

because we were putting

flowers on the grave for the

anniversary of someone

before their family arrived

and we brought in the flowers

there.

And we went to the back of the

cemetery and around that way

to get to the grave site.

And there were these big old

iron gates I hadn't seen in

maybe 20, 30 years.

So I left a note on the

maintenance shed for someone

to please call me in regards

to the gate.

It started snowing really hard

but two hours later on that

Sunday morning I had

a phone call "Come and get the

gates, they're yours."

Linda Sue Zimmerman: We're now

standing at the actual sight

of the cemetery gates

which are in front of the

driveway. When I'm standing in

this direction I'm

getting 0.1, 0.2 but if I just

turn 90 degrees I'm up to 1.7

which is one of the

highest, 1.8, one of the

highest readings we've got

tonight, 1.9, 2, 2.1.

So here I am almost directly

between the gates and there

seems to be an energy

pattern going between the

gates up the driveway.

The farther I move in towards

the driveway past the gates -

1.4, 1.3, 1 - so

you can see I'm just beyond

the level of the gates now,

about 0.8, and I know the

farther I move up the driveway

the lower the readings will

be.

So for some reason there is a

strong measurable

electromagnetic field between

these gates like an energy

field moving in towards the

property.

Roxanne Wentworth: The gates

were delivered right outside

my front door.

I had a handy man bring them

and he just put them right in

the yard outside the

front door until I could hire

someone to install them.

That night when I was upstairs

I heard somebody coming up my

stairs.

There was very, very loud

squeaking on my stairways.

And I thought I had a burglar.

I was convinced. My bedroom

door was shut and the night

line was one but I was so

terror stricken I couldn't

move, I couldn't speak,

I couldn't scream, I couldn't

do anything. I just knew that

when that door opened

something really bad was going

to happen.

After the noise stopped going

up the stairs nothing

happened.

The door didn't open, I didn't

hear any more feet, nothing.

But within maybe 30 seconds

now something had my by the

back of the hair and was

dragging me backwards off the

bed. I couldn't speak but in

my mind I was

yelling "Let go, let go, let

go."

So I forced my head to turn

and when I eliminated space

between his hand and the

bed pillow it couldn't exist

anymore and it went away,

there was nothing in the

room and the door was still

shut.

Male Speaker:
A terrifying

midnight encounter with an

invisible assailant.

Roxanne Wentworth was a woman

who's not easily frightened.

She's a correctional officer.

She knows how to take care of

herself.

But on this night she brought

something on to her property

and seemingly opened

the door to a different world.

Lori Lee Milkovich: From the

Wappingers Rural Cemetery

delivered a few years ago

and that night she had told us

that she was grabbed by the

hair and dragged across

the bed by somebody that she

couldn't see.

And I knew from what she said

she wouldn't be able to stay

here at night

anymore so I ended up spending

the nights with her.

Roxanne Wentworth: I'm not

going to remove the gates.

I've been asked why I don't do

that.

A lot of people think that if

I remove the gates I remove

the problem but no

one's been able to validate

that for me or prove to me

that that would eliminate the

problem, that the pathway

wouldn't still remain.

And that if the pathway did

still remain if I might
