this shit is sooo crazyyy...

When I grew up in Haverstraw we were told the story of Mikey's grave and how the doctors experimented on the patients.

Ya whoever used my name two posts above fuck u.

Looks like Obama's promise of universal health care to me...
:(

So I was in the hospital behind feildstone and next to willowgrove with some friends and we went to the basement of the place and let me tell ya, it was nuts! While we were down there we wanted to see if it was haunted so we stood at the bottom of the steps and asked a few outloud questions like, "is there anyone there, please give us a sign". We waited a few minutes and repeated the question and finally we got an answer. A little girls voice said to us in a whisper, "Im here, I'm here". She said this twice. The voice sounded muffled and far away but we were able to hear it clearly enough to understand it. After that we went down a hallway to see the legendary mourge, it was really creepy. Before
We left the hospital we checked all the floors and no one else was anywhere to be found. We were alone when we heard the little girls voice.

Good thing mine is made of plastic!!!

the graves are still there... a couple years ago the town i guess decided to fix it all though... so its not overgrown w. weeds anymore and they replaced the wood markers with metal ones i believe

I agree with Toni

it does feel like the gungy thing is going to yank your teeth out with it. Nasty when you're only 10 years old.

that advert has cracked me up laughing. That IS a joke, right?

We have to remember that:
1. Institutions like this are for people who cannot function in the 'real' world, therefore whether rape, neglect or any form of abuse happened or not, these people were already suffering. We need to respect that.
2. Paranormal investigation is a valid science that is nothing to do with an urge to go into a haunted house and scare yourself silly. I believe that this site contains a lot o energy, possibly negative. We don't know if there are spirits here but if there are, do they not deserve some peace? This kind of science may help us to understand life after death and how spirits can be helped to rest. Maybe this sounds a bit hippyish but what I'm trying to say is we need to respect things we don't understand. Please think before writing insensitive comments

we want more stories! ;)

great story godk

THE LECHWORTH VILLAGE "POTTERS CEMETARY" IS ON CALL HOLLOW ROAD BUT ENTRANCE IS BY PEMISSION ONLY (FOR FAMILY MEMBERS) AND UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS ALL OVER THE PLACE!! AND BE WARNED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THRU (WHICH IS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY AS LIVE DOWN THE ROAD) THERE IS AT LEAST ONE COP CAR PARKED WITHIN ONE OF THE EMPTY PARKING LOTS!! BUT THAT BEING SAID, IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA AND ARMED WITH A CAMERA IT IS WORTH A LOOK!! AND AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE UP TO NO GOOD THEY SHOULD NOT BOTHER YOU!!

Wow! This is a trip! I was just recalling stories of Stony Point, and told of my experiences at Mikey's Grave. I Googled on a whim, and... Wow!
@ Go getta & Call:
The graveyard is indeed haunted:
Many years ago, I lived off Mott Farm Rd. across from the Girl Scout campgrounds. My friends and I would often drive around in our cars endless hours and days, and one of the places we went on occasion was the potter's field in the woods. Forgive me, I can't recall the name of the road, but there's an unpaved access which leads off the roadside into thin trees to a circuit around the graves. They're simply small numbered pegs in the forest floor, askew and forgotten. Mikey's grave, however, stands out and presents the most chilling aspect of this place. It is capped with a cut-out sheetmetal banner in the form of the name "MIKEY", in very jaunty angles. It looks quite disturbing.
Now the backstory I was told was that Mikey was a cretin who had killed someone, hence his institutionalization. Mikey had lived out his years there, and having an 'artistic' streak, and metalworking and mechanical skills, he had made several pieces of this sort of thing, including his own name. After his death, a staffer there who had grown fond of Mikey had saved his name cutout and mounted it over his grave in the potter's field.
Now the legend says that if you drive your car around the path surrounding the graves, sometime after you leave, your car will die. Literally.
A friend of mine did this, and a few weeks later he blew his Camaro's engine. Arguably his fault, or did he tempt fate? Well another friend and I went in his Bronco, and only 5 minutes after we left, the vehicle stalls. No prank, both hands on the wheel, full tank.
After about 10 minutes, the Bronco started again, and ran fine for as long as he had it.
And as the stories I heard went, that's par for the course. Your car fails anywhere from a temporary stall to a fatal malfunction. Anyway, we never did that again. Lesson learned. :)
I now live in PA, and wish I could roll out and visit again, but this is close. Maybe someone near there can get photos to post, or does the graveyard no longer exist?
