Sometime in the summer of either 1994 or 1995 (I can’t remember which) I was living in Lubbock, Texas on 15th Street, just off University Avenue, near Texas Tech University. I had an apartment there in the rear of the main house on the street....(I must say that this is not a very scary, scary story, but it nonetheless is a very, very true story!)
One day that summer Jason (one of my buddies) dropped by just to say "hello", took
off his tennis shoes and put his feet up on the desk. We lounged around a little, listened
to a little "Counting Crows" and he decided to take his leave. When he put his feet into
his shoes he found the inside of the shoes to be soaking wet...not ‘damp’...soaking wet!
I had just two days earlier purchased a new telephone from Radio Shack and all had
been working well with it until, for no reason known to me, I could not dial out. A friend dropped by, J.T.", and he had a look at it before I took it back for a new one. In the process he turned it over and water poured out from every crack and crevice in that telephone machine...didn’t leak, IT POURED!
At this juncture I called my friend Bob in Austin, explaining that I might have an unusual and most unwelcome guest in my house. I told my friend about Jason’s soaked
shoes and my waterlogged telephone but the most sympathy I could wrest out of my
old friend ,Bob, was a name for my nemesis..."Aquaghost"! Yeah, Aqua...water...
I got it.
In the backyard are two graves.....two dogs buried in the 1930’s. Any connection?
I don’t know. Aquaghost? Who knows.

Around by me there are loads of ghost stories and I have heard from people who have had experiences with them and I have even seen one or two myself. My house used to be haunted by a what we think was a little boy called James.
I knew he wouldn't hurt us though because he only used to appear as different shapes of light and at night he would make quiet noises. Do you know why that might be? I don't have a clue! I also think I know how he came to my house, but that's a long story. Anyway, best be going.
Tyraa!
I'm searching the web for stories of ghosts in Carnegie Hall. The reason I ask is that I'm SURE I experienced sharing space with some spirits there.
When I was about 12 years old (that would be in 1971) my sister and I took dance lessons in Carnegie Hall. She, being more into the dance thing than I, took several more lessons. Therefore, it left me with lots of spare time to explore the old building (the back part of it, not the theatre itself). This building had many nooks & crannies. It had stairwells that went from the top of the building to the bottom. Some that only went partially up/down, then you'd have to follow hallways and take another to continue in your ascent/descent.
I didn't remember this incident (and details still elude me) until about 4 years ago. I had a dream about a stairwell with spirits rising up. These spirits seemed benevolent. Upon awakening, I felt a realization that I did, infact, visit with some spirits in Carnegie Hall over two decades ago. I reiterate, I lack detailed memory, but there is something inside me that feels that I experienced a meeting with some spirits.
Do you know of anyone who's had an experience with spririts in Carnegie Hall? I presume, they are the spirits of the artists who had performed there over the years.
I am really looking forward to hearing of similar experiences. If you can help me it would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
After much thought I have decided to tell my story about a night in the
Crescent.
We arrived late in the day after a long day of canoeing. My new bride was
exhausted and quickly went to sleep not worried about the so called "Ghost."

My name is Sonya, the story im about to tell happened to my father, about forty years ago and he still tells the story like it happened to him yesterday, my father and mother had just had my baby brother the third son, and had moved into a new house, my mother was from this town my father was not,
Father told me many times he felt like something was watching him, well as I told you my mother didnt belive him, and she said one day she was warming the baby bottle up, all the while holding my brother,she later said that something came running up on her in the kitchen, and began to breath down her neck, she told me she was so scared that she run out the door with the baby, and refused to go back into the house untill my father got home from work.
From what I have been told things was quite for awhile after that,
until one day my dad said that he needed to go to the out building, he said as went through the yard he seen a man with his head down walking toward the building ,
he thought that when he got to the building he would find the man, the man was no place to be found, he said the man had on a railroad hat and a pair of bibs and a blue jean jump jacket.

Regarding the Cresent Hotel that another person wrote in about, I can clear
up this mystery for you. Yes, the hotel is haunted and it is surprising that
the employees do not discuss it since they do ghost tours throughout the
hotel, and while we were there this past October, the employees spoke openly
about it. Perhaps this was not so in 1995, but today, you can even visit
their website and see actual photos taken by guest who had mysterious images
appear in photos, and sent them to their website.
The Cresent Hotel was bought in the 1800's by a man named Norman Baker, he
claimed to be a Dr. and he claimed he had found the cure for cancer.
His patients were mostly wealthy, older people, and when they dissapeared -
he claimed that they had been cured and left. What was soon discovered is
that he was doing experiments on cancer patients in the basement, and when
they patients died, the nurses waited till night time to roll the bodies out
of the hotel and down to a crematory on the property.
Once suspision set in, the doctor put snipers on top of the 4th story roof of
the hotel to protect his private business from invasion. Dr. Baker later died
of Cancer, and it is known now that he was never a Dr. of any kind. One can
only speculate if he knew he had cancer, and this was his reason for all the
expierments, or was it a payback for using cancer victims, and taking their
assets. One cannot know for sure.
At night, you can hear the wheels roll down the corridors as the nurses roll
out another patient. Often, people have stopped to talk to man who is wearing
a white suit, suddenly the man says he has an appointment, and then turns and
dissapears. He seems to fit the image of the late Mr.Baker.
Is all this true? Well my brother who does not believe in ghost at all, Just
had his wedding reception on the top floor of the hotel. We took a ghost
tour down to the basement and it still has the same autopsy table there, with
a drain. The tour guide spoke of some incredible things that went on there.
My brother and his wife have stayed at the hotel many times, and on one
visit, he was distracted by the background noises coming from the hall
outside while watching t.v.
I loved the place, it is a beautiful place and ghost dont bother me at all.
We have them now, and I have lived in many haunted places before, so I
suppose I am just use to it, and it does not shock me as might some people.
So I look forward to going back to the Cresent Hotel, next time as an
overnite guest rather than a wedding guest.
