Green Bay Mansions

[maude]

Hello, I'm a new member, just wanted to introduce myself! I live in the Green Bay area and am interested in any info anyone would have on hauntings in any of the old mansions in town. I live in one of them myself and have been witness to some very odd things the past few years I have lived here. Haven't had any luck checking things out online! Thanks

Hello to Maude!

I live about an hour from Green Bay, and I usually do a lot of checking and observation on Maribel Caves Hotel Hell and on JFK Prep. Not that familiar with the Green Bay ones, some day, I say...

What things have you noticed? or observed? Curious, of course I am!

Have a good weekend!

Thanks for responding! I've lived in this house for about two years, and within the first week, I knew something was not right. Just to name a few, I heard a party going on in the dining room, dishes clinking, music, people murmuring, loud enough to wake me up! As soon as I got to the foot of the stairs near the dining room the noises stopped, no one was there. I've heard strange music at other times, in differnt parts of the house, it always sounds like it's coming from underwater or something, kind of muffled. I've heard voices coming from the old servants quarters, of course nobodys there when I check it out, I live alone. Most often there is a misty form on the staircase, sometimes visible in the daytime. Sorry for going on and on, but i don't talk about it much with most people, it's a relief! Whatever is here seems happy though, so it doesn't disturb me all that much. Thanks!

sounds very interesting!

I can't say that about this house... or could not. But in the past 2 1/2 years or so, I would feel the presence of a person who was important to me, there. And they died prior to that.

Just a strange sense of knowing that I was not alone. And it was when I was doing something that might have involved them in the past. For instance, one of my best friends committed suicide almost 3 years ago. Less than 6 months later, I was fresh out of work, working on my stained glass, and using purple glass. And it was then I realized it was the same purple I used to use, when making pieces for her. The radio volume would decrease (on it's own) and I would sit there and wonder. Or the basement lights would flicker (my glass work bench is in the basement)...

My grandma was one of the most important ppl in my life. She died 1 1/2 years ago. And ever since her death on Wednesdays, I end up waking up about an hour before the alarm clock goes off. Keep in mind I work second shift, and for me to get up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep on my own is not normal. And I get up and make a pot of coffee and enjoy my hour alone, before I actually have to get up. I light a candle, maybe read a book. It was always her wish that I had a moment to myself, as I never do or did, due to being a mother and wife and co-worker with stress... not to mention insomnia. I think it's her way of letting me have time to myself, mostly on Wednesdays -- she died on a Wednesday. It confuses me to no end, but I have tried to follow a pattern with the 5 a.m. wake ups.

What was really strange was, the month before she/grandma had her brain stroke, I was at work and it was too quiet, and I could hear Grandma and her sister laughing... her sister, my great Aunt Lil, had died in 1990. And as I sat there and almost hid from no one in the midst of the silence, I could hear them cackling... I was guessing, playing cards and gossiping, drinking coffee. And then a few weeks later, she had her stroke and joined her sisters above... *sigh*

So I figure that this house is okay. But sometimes I have visitors who I have missed, just dear ppl that are now gone, that come here to visit me. Does that make sense?

I guess, I just try to find comfort, knowing that these ppl still might be near by... angels among us.
