Ghostly Happenings

What happens when you cover graves with fill dirt instead of moving them?  Apparently on a stretch of road between Orlando and Daytona Beach, you get a Dead Zone.  Since 1963 there have been over 2,000 accidents reported on this particular stretch of road on I-4.  Could ghosts be the cause of the accidents?

According to author Charlie Carlson, people have been reporting ghosts, ghost vehicles, orbs, ghost hitchhikers and more.  Mr. Carlson is the author of the book, Weird Florida.

The bodies buried there are very real, not some myth.  The graves were cornered off and were supposed to be moved when an error occurred and they were buried even deeper under the burgeoning highway.  The bodies are those from a settlement known as St. Joseph’s Catholic Colony.  The individuals died during a yellow fever outbreak in the late 1800’s.  The graves include two adults and two children.

It is unknown whether or not these are the ghosts haunting travelers, or those who have been killed on this stretch of highway since 1963.  Travelers beware!

Yep, you heard me correctly.  The Texas Supreme Court has recently overturned a lower court decision regarding an exorcism that supposedly ended badly.  I guess how you view “badly” is subjective.  The woman claims she was hurt during a “forced exorcism” when she was 17.  According to the plaintiff, she received cuts and bruises and experienced hallucinations while being exorcised.  The defendant, Pleasant Glade Assembly of God, claims that there was no abuse.  The Texas Supreme Court overturned the $188,000 award (which had already been reduced from $300,000), because it would “unconstitutionally entangle the court in matters of church doctrine.”

In the 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the lower court erred when it rendered its decision and found the church liable for mental distress brought on by the exorcism.

I guess you can sue over anything- just wait until someone decides to sue ghost hunters for either chasing off a favored ghost, or because they stirred up a few.
