yessssss....Stull.

On the way from Topeka to Lawrence, supposedly the 6th/7th/8th gateway to hell...not sure which. I knew an idiot who claimed to have died 37 times at Stull. pff. When I went home a few months ago, the church ruins were torn down due to too much vandalism.

Stull! OMG. We ditched school one day our freshman year to drive up there and scare ourselves silly; I was just telling Dax about this place, oh wow, maybe a month or so ago?

Haha!

This is why I wanted to take you guys to Rochester and Topeka Cemetery. :(

Man. Looking at these pictures STILL creeps me out.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

meeee too...I'm sitting here scaring myself while I'm at WORK in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

;)

[ex-sia857.livejournal.com]

Heh. Ditto.

I'm sort of disappointed that the haunted house in Oskaloosa isn't noted here . . . I barely remember the story, but I went up there and it was

SCARY
AS
FUCK

I need to get in touch with Lee Ann and see if she remembers anything about it.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

oooo, I've never heard of that one.
I wanna go home in October. :(

[ex-sia857.livejournal.com]

Me too. :(

I thought you were? O_o

[ex-sia857.livejournal.com]

Not anymore, not unless I get a miracle.

I don't think I'll be able to afford the hotel and rental car now, and the only person I could stay with lives too far away (just outside Kansas City) from where I need to be (Topeka) for that to be practical.

So I don't know. This whole thing makes me very sad. I can handle the plane tickets - it's the rest that is fucking me up.

Oh well.

There's always next year, I guess.

You(we) still have a few months, maybe we'll both win large sums of money. :D

Yeah...it's worth a shot. :}

[spasmolytic.livejournal.com]

it is, indeed the DEVIL HOUSE now that the insane clown posse is involved!

SPOOOOoOoOOooky.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I especially love the spray-painted "Korn" and "Smoke Dope" on the walls of Stull's gateway to hell. I'm sure the Dark Lord is verra pleased!

*falls out*

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

i remember hearing a rumor while in high school that the cure would no longer perform in kansas because we were the gateway to hell.

almost

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I think that's because someone stole something of the band's/Robert's. Can't quite remember, but I think that's the case. But yeah, we had to either go to Chicago or Denver to see them after that.

Re: almost

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

aw, that doesn't sound as spooky as being the gateway to hell. :) nice of one person (or more) to ruin it for the rest of us.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

isn't it though.

Maybe...the person who stole something was...SATAN! YEAH! That's spooky, huh?

SATIN!

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

now that really is spooky, the way your butt slides all across your sheets, nearly making you slide right out of bed.

oh, you said SATAN. yeah, you're right. spooky.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! SATAN STEALS ROBERT SMITH'S SATIN UNDIES! KEEPS THEM FOR HIS OWN!

Satan likes to kick back in style, yo.

[catnamedcosette.livejournal.com]

what about the matching bra?

[mrsassypants.livejournal.com]

strange. i have a bunch of friends here in LA that are from that area. I learned early on there is a weird KC->LA pipeline that funnels all the KC rockstars this way.

I'll ask them about those places.

I love ghost storied places like that.

Wanna read some spooky shit? Read this story from my part of the country

http://www.bellwitch.org/home.htm

if that story doesnt give you the fuckin heebee jeebees...well.


(PS why do the satanist gotta come and ruin everything with their god damn spray paint and shit? silly fucks.)

[spacegirllost.livejournal.com]

hrmm... i'm kinda jealous. i never grew up around such interesting legends (just the lemp mansion (http://www.prairieghosts.com/lemp.html) downtown which isn't exactly the place a teen can wander around in).
although, my curiosity just peaked and i found this page (http://www.prairieghosts.com/stlouis.html) which indicates that there was a haunted house in webster groves .. down the effing street from my first boyfriend's! i always knew webster groves was swell. watching tv the other day, i also learned there is a preserved man in a crypt somewhere in south st louis (shocking). wah! so much i missed out on! :(

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

You should definitely check out a book called Haunted Heartland. I can't even read the damn thing at night. :D

Re:

[spacegirllost.livejournal.com]

ooooooh. i must find it! i must steal it! i mean .. beg for it. *laugh*

i've been needing some interesting reading. i'll see if i can find it. it is new by any chance? i was going to look at the used bookstore and see if i could find it.

Re:

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Noooo, you'd probably have better luck at a used bookstore. They wrote 2 others too. Haunted America and Historic Haunted America...all now in cheaper mass market paperback! :D

Re:

[spacegirllost.livejournal.com]

cool. might be a while now before i get it though...
oh well.
i'll put it on my list of things to read.
