I live in the mountains of Virginia...Any area like mine so rich in history is going to be rich in creep, as well.
My sister died when she was 7. Her spleen ruptured. She died at home after a fall. We were just grateful it hadn't happened when she tripped the day before in her elementary school hall. I was 18 and in college. We shared a room when I was home but I always let her sleep with me. I'd been sleeping with her since she was five and moved into my room from the nursery. She missed me terribly when I went to college. My mother had dreams almost every night the month before she died that one of her children was going to die. It was a different one of us every time. The night my sister died, my mother dreamed my lost little brother (mother had a miscarriage between me and my brother, but didn't know if the baby was a boy or girl) walked my sister into Heaven. The day of the funeral we released baloons. Carla loved baloons. One that said "I love you" floated in front of me and stayed swaying right in front of my face for awhile before it went on its way. I had to leave.

I have always had "dreams that come true". Just random, day to day things, but every detail is right. I know what people are going to say and do and where they're going to be. There are plenty of explanations - it's not actually something you dreamed before but a slight break in the way your memory works and it just seems like it happened before, for example. But I don't know. I choose to believe.
Also, I'm never wrong about people. It's arguable whether this is intuition or an extra sharp sensory perception or just my cynicism cutting through people's bullshit, but again, i'm gonna go with the fact I have an extra honed sense of people's souls. lol

There's a graveyard about an hour away with a tomb that will not stay closed. They've done
everything to it and nothing works.

There's a graveyard about a half an hour away where the devil walks. I'd say it's a demon at best, but the number of people who have seen him prove there's at least something there.

My grandmother lived near Lake Shawnee Amusement park in WV. There are cold spots right on the deteriorated swing seats, native american chanting, voices and sounds, orbs in pictures, people have felt touches, the abandoned carnival rides have moved on their own, there is the apparition of a girl in pink who was killed on the rotating swing in the early 50s, there is also an apparition of a man on the ferris wheel at the 9 o'clock position. The current owner left his tractor on the property for awhile because the little girl seemed to like playing on the tractor.
An exerpt from a short article:
In October 2005, the park gained national attention due to the filming of ABC network's Scariest Places on Earth. During their time there, a psychic that was under contract by the network, refused to stay on the property due to the "spiritual energy being too strong." Also, film crew workers would not enter the filming location alone at night due to eerie feelings.
According to archaeologists, the area around Lake Shawnee was home to at least two separate Native American settlements before European settlers arrived. The Marshall and Concord Colleges joint dig in 1988 found that the Indian settlements were circular in arrangement and the Indians lived there for long periods of time. They think the settlement was abandoned several hundred years before the first white settlers arrived. They found 13 skeletons, mostly of young children. There may be as many as 3000 bodies of Native Americans buried on the property.

Less than a mile from my house is the Molly Tynes' House.
In July of 1863 1000 Union soldiers left WV headed to Wytheville to destroy the train tracks. This would have stopped supplies from reaching Lee's army and other Confederate troops throughout VA. Molly's father learned their plans when they stopped to camp near his farm. Molly rode out that night to tell everyone from Tazewell to Wytheville the Union army was coming - supposedly waving her bonnet and screaming the warning as she rode through the mountains.
The house passed through several hands through the years, and there were the usual deaths. UNTIL...A man living in the home tried to kill his mother in law - now i'm sure that's not that unusual, but he had no idea afterwards why he got the urge to take a hatchet to his MIL at that time. He had no reason to be angry, but was unreasonably so toward his whole family for a period of three days. Suddenly, the feeling just cleared away and he was no longer angry.
Ever since then, certain people have had the same reaction. Some people are fine. No problems. My cousin lived there for a couple years. I stayed with her in the house. She and her family had no issues and laughed the haunting off as usual ridiculousness. It creeped me out big time, but I wasn't angry and didn't see or hear anything. I just felt weird.
A regional ghost hunting society - Black Diamond Paranormal Society - investigated in like 2011 I think. They found hot spots, what looked like a firey hand reaching out of the fireplace, cold spots, orbs, and voices and sounds. One of the investigators began feeling ill and had to leave the house. He says he got just furious with everyone in his life for no reason - even when he went home he was still livid at everyone and every thing. It lasted for three days then disappeared.

There's a house about 20 minutes away that people swear the devil lives in. No one has ever stayed there longer than six months.

There's a house about 15 minutes away that the owner will welcome you into. You enter a certain room, and something will call you by name and either slap or push you. Every person that's gone into the room has had it happen.
There are literally a hundred more stories I could tell you but these are probably way too many anyway...lol Needless to say, I definitely believe. lmao
