where's the house, and is it on the Historic Registry

It is in Gallatin. I have no idea if it is on the historic registry. The home is actually 165 years old. It was moved from downtown to it's current location about 103 years ago. It took a team of 40 horses to pull it the 1 mile to it's current location.

I'd love to see some ghosts now that I live in Savannah. I'll believe it when I see it.

Google places to go and get back to us. Savannah is notorious for ghost hunting, I believe.

Lots. A lot of voodoo and hoodoo going on there. And, I've yet to see a noticeable ghost anywhere. I'd like to, though.

I love the voodoo people down there. They are out there. When I told them I was Roma, they asked if I lived in a wagon and had a crystal ball. They also think that all Roma are clairvoyant.

Man, I could live in one of those wagons. They're pretty colorful. I knew a couple from SoCal that traveled around the SW in one. They were musicians and would travel from one event to another in it.

When I was in high school, my mom had 3 miscarriages. I grew up far away from town in the Rocky Mountains and there were no houses or anything close to us. After a year or so after the third miscarriage I had a friend over one night and we were up late playin video games. Everyone was a sleep except us and we started to hear a baby cry. There were no babies within 15 miles and we both heard it? What was it? We were both frightened by it.

Mountain lion

Did it sound exactly like a baby crying or similar to it? Given where you live, to your knowledge, have you ever heard a mountain lion? People's verbal descriptions of animal sounds can be all over the proverbial park, but I have often read comparisons of the snarl or scream of a cougar to the cry of a woman in mortal terror. This perceived similarity might be more apparent if the sound emanated from a considerable distance as opposed to right outside your front door. One person offered this observation: "Mountain lion screams sound disturbingly human and yet unearthly" (What's the scariest sound you've ever heard? - scary | Ask MetaFilter). Another contributor to the same forum offered this analogy: "Cats in heat/having sex can sound like babies; sometimes they can sound like demonic babies."

In any event, you certainly live in cougar country.

It sounded like a baby would when they wake up in the middle of the night and start crying. And remember we were on my house and it sounded like it was inside somewhere. No one else had heard it when we mentioned it the next morning. Hit it was late at night when lions are most active and they are def around my old place so who knows.

Foxes are also known for sounding like crying babies, to lure other animals away from their surroundings.

So do bob cats, when I was younger when my cousin and I was deep in the woods exploring we heard one. Literally went back home and told the parents there was a baby out in the woods somewhere crying.

Hear one in the dark sitting in a tree stand. You know what it is but still makes the hair on your neck stand up

I spent the night last night in a home built in the 1840's. It has had several owners and has even been moved to a new location about a mile from it's original location by a team of 40 horses.The floor beams and planks are interesting. They used railroad car flooring and old solid crates from the time period (you could see the company markings on the bottom of them from the cellar). They did not waste materials as we do now.

The people who live there are friends of mine and they have experienced some interesting phenomena. They are currently renovating parts of the old home. In the past, they have heard strange music, not from any modern time period, and it does not emanates from any known source within the house. They often smell strong floral aromas that waft through the house, almost perfume-like. Many nights they hear old footsteps on the main wooden staircase, as if a woman in high heels is walking hop and down the stairs.

The man at this home, a friend of mine has investigated the noises recently. One night after hearing the footsteps on the stairwell, he went out with a flashlight to check on things and to make sure it was not someone trying to break in. He flashed his flashlight n the stairs and there were a pair of high heel shoes on a step in the middle of the stairwell. He went to check the door and there was nothing there. He turned back around and the shoes were not there! He went around to the other side of the house to check another door. He came back and shined the flashlight on the stairs agin and saw a tabby cat on the stairs. There is not a tabby cat living in that house. In fact, only dogs live in this home. He went to check the windows and turned around to see the stairs again and the tabby cat was gone.

So I spent the night. It was a pretty quiet night. I heard the house creaking, wood expanding and contracting. I heard some knocking, but my friend said it was not the loud walking on the steps that they have sheared numerous times over the years.

I did find out that a few people have actually died inside the house, which may explain some of the past events in this home. Almost all of the homes on this portion of the street in town have stories about them from the owners-about unexplained phenomena. In fact, about a year ago, 5 of the 8 homes right around this home, were for sale. They are all old homes over 100 years old. I do hope to be able to go there and spend the night again.

Similar things happened to my mother when she was a child. They lived in an old he in grand junction Tennessee. Had an "being" trip over a chair ( grandma always put a chair next to the bed, so the kids woulcnt roll out of the bed) and landed cross ways across my mom and aunt. They screamed to the top of their lungs. My grandparents came rushing in. Nothing was there.

So ghosts have weight? Do they weigh the same as they did in their life? Can they lose and gain weight?
