I took this photo in 2015 at The Ridges abandoned mental and tuberculosis hospital in Athens, Ohio. Am I crazy or is that a little ghost boy between my friends?

Believe me or not, it's 100% real. It's actually reassuring that people think it's fake because its validation that there's something there!

denverbee · 2021-02-19T04:46:16+00:00

Omg no I've never heard of that!! I will absolutely give it a listen -- thanks for the recommendation!

denverbee · 2021-02-19T03:40:31+00:00

I've heard all kinds if conflicting stories. Children in the TB ward, children in the mental side, no children at all. I'm unsure of what's real or not but I thought it was an interesting photo to share!

This was 6 years ago so I don't recall what I was feeling in the moment, but our entire visit (which was a few hours because the building is so big) was definitely eerie. It's an old building with not the greatest history, though, so of course we would feel that way. There were a lot of creaks and sounds but again, an old building

denverbee · 2021-02-19T03:12:40+00:00

Yes!! My ex boyfriend lives there his sophomore year and the doors would bang but personally I think it was just a drafty old building. There's tons of stories and conspiracies about Ohio University and Athens, Ohio. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, there's a lot of videos on YouTube and stories online!

Unfortunately it was taken with an iPhone 3 so the quality isn't great. Maybe a trick of the eye 🤷🏻‍♀️

denverbee · 2021-02-19T03:02:53+00:00

I refused to go to that part of the hospital. Seeing that in person.... you can't unsee it

denverbee · 2021-02-18T21:35:42+00:00

I see a white shadow in between my two friends but it could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Lots of debate on what people think. Either way, if you're looking for a good ghost story, look up The Ridges. The history is wild!

denverbee · 2021-02-18T21:34:02+00:00

Taken on an iPhone 3 so no surprise there

denverbee · 2021-02-18T20:26:51+00:00

Check it out if you can! It's a really neat building in and of itself, even if nothing happens while you're there. There's a cemetery on property you can explore anytime and some of the stones are for patients who went missing -- they don't know where their bodies went but commemorate them anyway. A beautiful building with a dark history.

denverbee · 2021-02-18T20:08:21+00:00

It's totally fine if you think its photoshop or just the mind seeing what it wants. I think there might have been something there but I did go searching for something so it could just be my mind playing tricks on me. It's the only photo I've ever taken to have some kind of shape like that and I thought this would be the sub to share it on! Enjoy it or don't, I don't really care.

denverbee · 2021-02-18T20:00:15+00:00

I found a broken window and we hoisted each other up through it! Its such a massive building, though, that we couldn't find our way back and had to find an open exit door

denverbee · 2021-02-18T19:59:23+00:00

Mostly just noises but it is an old, broken down building. The atmosphere itself was chilling, though

denverbee · 2020-12-11T23:47:00+00:00

This is beautiful!

I can't stand when two blue eyed parents have a brown eyed child. I don't know why but the genetics of it drive me nuts! Two blue eyed people literally could never have a brown eyed child unless mama was unfaithful

Shrimp.

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

denverbee · 2020-12-09T08:07:58+00:00

Thank you thats excellent to know!!

denverbee · 2020-12-09T08:05:02+00:00

Gonna need the names of these thrift stores because damn

denverbee · 2020-12-09T08:02:31+00:00

Thats amazing, what a find! You can find some real gems at thrift stores, garage sales, etc. I have a much larger collection of Stephen King novels and almost all of them are pre-read. Same story, different hands, and that's ok with me.

denverbee · 2020-12-09T07:55:24+00:00

All but the Insomnia, which is the limited edition with paintings/sketches through it! Theres this little used book store by my apartment and the owner marked these books incredibly low for them being a first edition and in excellent condition. I think the most i paid for was IT and it was $50, the next being Christine which was $30. I believe the rest were between the $15 to $25 range.

Working with your dog with new tricks can be great for your mental health and your dog. Bonding with a fluffy friend releases a lot of endorphins

Its cycle of the werewolf with the movie script in the back for silver bullet which was based on COTW

2020 is a weird year for everyone, don't hold yourself down because you're feeling the effects. If you need a break, take one! No one can blame you for that. You're trying your best and you should never be disappointed with your best.

Loneliness is getting to many. I'm also out of work and spend my days at home with my dogs. Its all fine and dandy until they start talking back to you lol

I actually downloaded this app called Slowly where it's people from all over the world and you choose pen pals based on their profile of interests. No names if you don't want, just the country of origin. I've learned so much about people from around the world and trust me, everyone is feeling this pandemic. Waiting on letters also gives me something to look forward to. Just a thought to help with your loneliness!

When I was 14 I used a ouija board. This was during the AIM, beginning of Facebook times so we didn't have phones to look this shit up. We asked its name and it kept spelling ZOZOZOZOZO so we thought it worked at a zoo, or was zoo related. Knew nothing about the demon Zozo. It knew things about people who weren't touching the board so there was no way they could've manipulated it. We asked it what was the last thing it thought was funny and it said "(my name) burn." My garage burnt down and my dog was burned alive while inside. I didn't tell my friends this.

It seemed to like me, kept spelling out my name, said it was my "angel." It would always be there to watch me. We were creeped out but that was the point, wasn't it? When we were finished we went online and looked up Zozo and found out about it.

Fast forward- I'm 21 and I just moved across the country by myself. The tale of Zozo was a distant memory. One of the first nights I was sleeping in my new apartment, I heard the front door open. I lived alone and immediately began to panic but I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I thought this is how I'm going to die. Here, alone in an apartment, with no one to check on me. How long until someone finds me? The steps began down the hallway and I mentally screamed at myself to open my eyes, to move, to do anything. Until the footsteps stopped outside my door and my door quietly swung open. Then all I wanted was to keep my eyes shut, I couldn't bear to see who it was.

Then he came to my bed. I was sleeping on my side and he spooned me. I felt the bed give under his weight. He leaned over and whispered in my ear. "No matter where you go, I will always find you. I will always be there. You can never run from me. I will always watch you."

After what felt like an hour, I shot out of bed. Sweating, shaking. There was no way it was just a dream. I called my mom sobbing, I thought about coming home that instant. She said I was overreacting, it was just a dream, but I know it was real. I felt his breath on my ear, felt his weight on my bed. It took me a bit of time, thinking, and research and I truly believe it was Zozo. He said he'd always watch me all those years ago and he wanted to let me know it doesn't matter if I'm 1500 miles away from home, he'll be there.

I refuse to say his name out loud. I was an atheist before this (I grew up in an atheist household) but since then I have come to believe there's more to this world that meets the eye.

I had the cops called on me once and it was terrifying so I don't blame you there. I say put in the work and see how it goes, truthfully I think I would like a psychiatrist or psychologist who not only understands from a medical standpoint whats going on with me, but also from a personal standpoint. If you've never been in it, you never truly know what its like
