  • warning- demonic forces at shaker village -beware

    i work at the trustees table; the restaurant in shaker village. my job kind of sucks to be honest. the only reason i stay is because i love investigating the paranormal. there is another person who works at the village who also loves that aspect of the place. someone who has keys to everywhere in the village. we go out to different places sometimes and try to contact anything. the most activity we've ever experienced together was in the tanyard house. it was friggin crazy. we heard footsteps, lots of noises from upstairs, i felt something touch my hair, and one night, as we were leaving; i was telling the house adios, and there was a loud bang in the kitchen. when i heard footsteps the loudest was when we were in the first bedroom upstairs. there's a hallway on the side of it and a small window you can see through in between. we were standing in the bedroom and the person i was with was talking but i heard what i know for a fact was footsteps right beside us in the hallway. it was dark but i didn't see anything through the little window. it sounded like heavy boots walking swiftly through the hallway. there was obviously no one else in the house with us and we were standing still. anyways, the tanyard house gave me the worst headache i've ever had in my life. we even explored the attic and though nothing happened while we were up there, my legs started shaking so bad they almost buckled. i am not scared of the other world within this world. but because i'm very open to it, my body reacts very much to it. don't stay in the tanyard house without some sort of spiritual protection. whatever is there is not and never was human. its a demon or something malicious. i know everyone says a ghost named polly resides there but this so called sweet and friendly polly showed its true colors, and its not what we think. its a demon. while there was a shaker named polly, i dont believe she ever stayed in the tanyard. some people call it zozo but i cant say for sure that's what it is. whatever it is, its evil. stay calm and protect yourself and your family if you stay there. i don't ever want to hear about a demonic entity attaching itself to someone who stayed in the tanyard. please warn anyone who needs to know. stay safe. there is one other place in the village that i know about with a demon or something evil. that's the highest floor of the trustees office. if you stay up there, do not contact or speak to anything that does anything. if you give it attention, it feeds on it. it followed me home one night after making me cry. i prefer not to give details but just trust me. whatevers up there is as bad as whatevers in the tanyard. once again, be safe. don't talk to the entity in the trustees and don't trust whatevers in the tanyard.

  • wash house

    Me and my family stayed in the wash house over spring break. At night I didn’t get much sleep because I heard muffle talking from the attic and the rocking chairs started to move. One day when we came back from a tour around the property some of the furniture was flipped upside down was very weird.

  • Didn't get much sleep that night

    After spending most of the day touring Pleasant Hill, we stayed overnight in 1998 in one of the upstairs guest rooms in a building that had housed the elderly adults of the Shaker community. Sleeping on an old-fashioned rope bed is not the most comfortable to begin with, but what really made it hard to sleep was the sound of footsteps out in the hallway and muffled voices throughout the night. I thought it was the sound of other visitors. The next morning I found out we were the only people who had stayed in the building that night.

  • Ghost children

    First I’ll apologize because I’m about to tell on myself: they had closed off the upper rooms where the children used to have bedrooms (above the mess hall) but I snuck in anyway to have a peak. It was bare besides some wooden furniture, as I stood in the middle of the room I heard children laughing playfully and felt / heard them running around me on the floorboards. I went back down after the experience to count for all the children currently in the house and the only other child was a newborn baby strapped to a parents chest. It was a nice encounter overall, it was not a malicious presence.
