Paranormal

Did you know Idaho has its very own "Area 51"? Would you ever visit.. if you could?

The majority of sites these ghost hunting teams chose to investigate usually have one thing in common, and that's death. Locations that have dark histories such as battlefields and hospitals are usually visited by paranormal investigators.

Organizers of this year's Haunted Mansions of Albion Halloween attraction recently held auditions for this year's crew of monsters, ghouls, spirits, and demented characters, and are preparing to leave the lights off for brave visitors in less than two weeks.

In April of 2019, crew member Jay Wasley posted a picture of a favorite local Twin Falls waterfall. It's obvious the team enjoys coming to southern Idaho.

If you enjoy live music, Cajun food, and exploring dark corners for paranormal activity, there's an Airbnb located 170 miles northeast of Twin Falls that has a room waiting for you.

There's a reason why teams of ghost investigators routinely pay the state of Idaho visits and start rolling cameras. A nature walk that has been rumored to leave some visitors feeling a tad uneasy can be located about a 90-minute drive east of Twin Falls.

The 84-year-old property appears to have a fascinating history, and was at one point in time the crown jewel of Idaho Falls.

When the night falls, the bridge allegedly takes on a life of its own. The location has been scaring the hell out of wanna be ghost hunters for years.

Southern Idaho has quite a history when it comes to the paranormal. The 100-year anniversary of one of Twin Falls' most creepiest legends recently passed, and the location of where the incidents took place is one where you'll find many people walking their dogs, completely unware of what is said to have transpired there long ago.

One of the more unsettling legends out there is the early-twentieth century tale of the "Devil's Henchman," where it is alleged a man murdered numerous children off of Shoshone Street, and just under where the current Old Towne Bridge passes over Rock Creek in Twin Falls.

A video shot in late 2015 in the Boise area that went viral and became one of the most scrutinized throughout paranormal communities worldwide is currently being featured on a popular cable television show.

A formerly abandoned property located in the city of Gooding that was once a hospital specializing in the treatment of a highly contagious disease, will soon be the site for overnight stays for those that enjoy a good scare.

"The little girl is our most active of the alleged haunts," said Johnson. "We get sometimes six to seven reports a week about this by staff and visitors. She's a sprinter."

This is the second of two articles about alleged paranormal experiences from people in your very own Magic Valley. Happy Halloween!
