Ok I thought by now the web would be full of ghost stories from the site of the trade tower collapse. Is it too soon are people still in too much pain to even discuss the paranormal experiences that may happen at this site? Is it just wrong to want to go ghost hunting there? I mean it must be crawling with ghosts, it just has to be after the terrifying events of that day.

I mean no disrespect to people who lost their loved one that day my heart goes out to you still and I believe it was the day the world stopped just for a day. Still I was against them building something else there because it would end up haunted and it should just be a memorial to those that passed. I am not sure what they ended up doing with it because the tradgedy was seen around the world but not how it ended up. Any way I don't mean to be disrespectful but if I had the money I would go to America and try to go ghost hunting there.

If anyone has had a supernatural experience there please leave your story. Maybe one day the families of the victims might have some stories like I read a story from world war 2 where a woman says her brother walked in the house and asked for a cup of tea and dissapeared while she was in the kitchen but really he was dieing miles and miles away at war.

There must be some kind of residual, spiritual, ghostly presence, but who's going to let any ghost hunters around the 911 sight to investgate.

I don't know if it is still too soon because I'm not particularly sensitive about it. A lot of people are though, so I'll tread lightly. I can imagine a sense of residual agony at the site, but in a way I think the spirits would rather be with their families. I suppose a few could be confused, but I doubt it. Many, if not most, people were aware of the fact that they were going to die.

I think that maybe reports might appear at some point. However, it's so soon and I think whoever would report it to the media might well get lanced. Imagine going through that grief and having the thought that your loved one might be wondering around and not at peace. It's very sad.

I don't think your going to hear about ghost at this site for a long time if ever sense it touched so many people, This area is hollow ground now...

Yeah it would be really sad to think your loved one didn't move on and that is the main reason I am wondering because all evidence at the moment indicates that all of the spirits may have moved on and if so that is a beautiful thing really. I imagine though maybe one day our children or grandchildren may end up visiting as part of some cheap thrills ghost tour or something.

I did find some stuff where people say going there they sense a great sadness but then it was a very sad event anyway. Still I think there atleast had to be a few phone calls from the beyond or appeariations at the time. Some nice tear jerker love stories of a loved one saying good bye from the spirit realm. I suppose I am a hopeless romantic or maybe things like that do give me hope that there is a life beyond this one.

You mean they didn't even put up a memorial . That is bogus! From what I heard there may still be remains burried there they should make it a memorial atleast to those that will be missing forever because they became nothing but dust or whatever. It should be made inot some kind of memorial garden or something I would think. Wow if I died there I would come back just to kick Bush's behind for not doing so. Wow that makes me mad and kind of sad.

I'll go someday for you and check it out myself. I don't really have any feelings to cause a bias (sorry, I must sound like an a-hole). I'll definitely be able to reliably tell if something depressing remains. I think it's worth a shot.

Yeah I think its worth a shot for someone who isn't close to the disaster, from what I heard on the news at the time though ALOT of Americans lost someone that day. I think it would effect me to go there because even though I was so far away living in Australia it was so shocking to see what happend on the tv I just watched it all day. It was amazing how many people around the world it effected like that but then it opened everyones eyes to the fact even the lucky countries get hit. Apparently though it was haunted before it was hit so I wonder what happened to those ghosts? Are they homeless now or did they move on?

The did a quick and incompetent cleanup. Bones, charred remains, and jewelry are still found on rooftops and ledges, but it isn't mentioned much. I'm sure there must be other remains on ground zero itself. I'd come back and kick Bush's butt too, same as if I was a Katrina victim. The cleanup there was awful too and remains have been found up until very recently. They may still be finding remains for all I know. The dead and their families deserve respect, and proper respect wasn't given in either situation. That, to me, is a complete shame and disgrace.

I would say if there are any ghosts from either incident thats where they all are haunting George Bush mystery solved!

I luckily didn't lose anyone and the footage wasn't especially damaging. I get over things quickly and am fairly tough to begin with. I felt horrible for all of the grieving families, but I am detached from the incident itself and I don't hurt for them anymore. I do have a sense of great sense respect for them, though, to have lived through such pain. I don't know what would happen to any ghosts that were there before. I'm guessing that it would be like the demolition of a haunted home, they'd stick to the land.

Bush is not a dictator, and has little control over any such thing. This is a matter for the citizens of the city, and even the nation. Why do you people continue to think that Bush is in control of the known universe and blame him for everything? It becomes taxing to endure time after time people that can not comprehend the broader scope of the Presidency of the United States. It is not his responsibility to respond to storms, set up memorials, or pass out travel trailors. It is a good time for people to stand up and do for themselves, like their fathers and grandfathers have done, and quit standing there with their hand out waiting for someone to take care of them. And as far as the U.S. goes, if you aren't a citizen here, you should be paying attention to the needs of your own country. Frankly, I don't even know the name of your president, so he must be a real shaker and mover. This isn't a political forum, so i don't understand the recent need to post political agendas in here. I jokingly responded to one or two, but it is already grown old. Please save your arm chair presidential critiques, #1 for the appropriate forum, and #2 for your own government. I'm going to report the next political jabs I witness in here. This is Unexplained Mysteries. Not the Washington Weaklings.

I think theres a ghost in this thread ?! the first time I looked at this its stats say 13 posts & 0 views ????? wierd

every other thread is normal... how can there be more posts than views ?

I've noticed that on other threads too. It eventually corrects itself, I think.

I am under the assumption that it takes years for hauntings to develope. The only time I have ever heard of spirits immediately haunting a place, is usually in the event they are making a last appearence to a loved one, or on a popular movie like "GHost". I would bet that ground zero will be extraordinarily haunted in the distant future. ~Jackal

I haven't heard any stories, either, and I am not sure I want to. What happened to our country, specifically New York and D.C. on that day was horrific...something I will never forget. I have no doubt in my mind that all who were lost that day have crossed over. I have heard of John Edward doing readings for families of victims...not sure I agree with that either. Don't get me wrong...I'm all for mediums...but not with something like this. I imagine one day in the future someone will have an experience there....people usually do where tragic events took place.

Amen!

Orbs at Ground Zero

Scroll about 3/4 the way down the page for two links to photos shot in NYC on 9/12/01. Personally, I think the air was so saturated with dust, etc. that it would be hard to claim that the orbs were due to any paranormal activity.

Since there has been any real distrubness at the site. The spirits maybe asleep or whatever. And the work hasn't bother them.

Or that they have actually moved on.

Time will only tell.

I personally hope that nothing paranormal comes out of Ground Zero..The events were horrible, families still haven't gotten it together and it's a day noone here will forget....As for the memorial, well that's another sore spot..In our neighboring town, alot of families lost loved ones, and they constructed their own memorial in the town...A sad way to remember.......

I agree Goalie, it would be horrible for Ground Zero ghost stories to be on the internet - if you were one of those families it would hurt a lot.

I think it's well left alone, left to rest in peace. I don't like the idea of summoning ghosts for this very reason, going to a medium and calling them doesn't sit well with me. I've been to large spiritualist type events, theatre readings, I think that way if someone needs to contact you they can, without calling out to them. That might sound a bit odd, but in my own twisted mind, I know what I mean!

Even people who want to believe in ghosts won't insult the memory of those killed or trouble their surviving family members just to indulge fantasy. I'm glad that, deep down, we all know where fun and games ends and the potential to hurt actual living people begins.

As far as I know, no one has lived there long enough to know

Hi Reg...I hear you about making contacts...I'm sure alot of the families from 9/11 still hear their loved one's voices from time to time, and memories of what they loved to do will always be with them....Like you said, it was a tragedy and they all should be left in peace...

I visited Ground Zero a few years ago and the area is obviously pretty closed off to the public for safety reasons. You can't see too much. I imagine in the future when the public is aloud in there, there will be plenty of sightings. (Not saying they will be true, though.)

Btw, there is a memorial foundation which is trying to raise millions of dollars for a worthy memorial at the site. Since it is still too dangerous to admit the public and clean up is still, years later, in effect - just how would you expect them to build a memorial?

memorial fund

i see no gosts there, and i,m there almost daily, and work nights too, no gosts, but who knows may be they will be first tenants in freedom tower.

The Freedom Tower and the World Trade Center Memorial are both underway...

Well anyway hopefully with proper funding it will all turn out in the end. I don't think mediums should try to make money of people's loses on 9/11 that is just sick and twisted. Besides the conclusion I have come to searching on the net for sightings is that the people are all at rest and I do hope it stays that way because come to think of it a ghost that had been through something that horrific in life might be pretty scary. Plus it is kind of nice to think people who suffered something so evil are at rest now. Of course though I am not going to pretend my morbid interest would not be sparked if a manifestation does turn up.

Oh and sorry about the views about Bush you are right this is not a political forum. Still the thought of the ghost of national disaster past visiting him is kind of funny . Still I feel it might have ruined the discussion of the possibility of hauntings which is the actual topic.

Maybe it would hurt the living people from this event too much to discuss hauntings at this time anyway. One day when people are ready it may be discussed further. My honest opinion is that they should just make a memorial there because if they build something else it may end up haunted. I mean the amount of places I have found here where hauntings only manifested when renovations or construction work started is rediculously high. Who would want to work in the place where so many people died anyway really. It gives me chills just thinking about it and the constant thought of working where 9/11 happened would have to effect people.

Thankyou for posting that link I am hoping I can save up what little money I can and to commomorate the day I might donate on the 11th of September this year. Also thankyou for the information about what is actually happening there because we don't get that news here in Australia. It almost like it never happened here and people forget why we have to take the security precautions we do these days. My partner works in security and people are so rude to him about it, I wish they would put a big photo of it on security booths reminding people why they have to be delayed an extra 10 minutes at a security station. I think that is the only way a haunting would be benificial is it would remind people.

I was going to only say that if I was a ghost and knew i was dead I would not stay where i died but rather go and check on my family and kids and that is what I would hope that if any of these poor souls did stay earthly bound will be doing as well.... But after reading other comments you have made i must say. try turning on channel 7 or 9 and there are up dates all the time about 9/11, and second i am a member of the AFP and ever since 9/11 our job to get people to follow security procedures has became easier because they know why we are doing it. Tell me is your husband a member of CHUB???lol.... I have seen the guards that get the abuse are small people that have big attutes and tend to blame things on everone else.

I'm sure when new buildings go up there will be a whole new crop of urban legends that go with them.

Funny you should post this topic, a couple of year ago I was searching the net waves for possible tales of any spirits being seen and I came across two items of interest, one woman who worked at the towers was late that day for several reasons, anyway she was driving to work and was coming over the top of a bridge and saw the towers within sight and right before the first or second plane {I can't remember which} hit, she saw a huge,dark,cloud, and "orbs" of light ,moving real fast came out of the towers and up into this cloud! I feel that was God lifting them up on high before the planes hit to save all of them from pain! And supposbly in a nicholas cage movie about the disaster there was a point in the making of the film that a "spirit" was seen running beside or behind nicholas cage as they were making the scene! Has anyone seen this movie yet or have notiiced anything in the movie?

im not sure if we can classify that as a ghost story, it seems more like a doppelgänger, or bi-location to me.



now thats intersting, thought slightly disturbing, no light guiding them up into heaven, aslo this women says she saw orbs going inot the smoke, to my knowledge orbs are quite small, and seeing them from over 100 meters away is quite hard to believe no offence.

I think there are no stories or ghosts because the cause of the people's deaths is well known. We know the cause, the time, and who did it. With such I well-defined situation, I doubt many stories would arise. Also, I believe part of the formation of a ghost is an unclear death (such as the Black Dahlia). I believe a ghost will only exist as long as mysteries still remain (cause of death, reason for death, murderer identity, etc.). Although the fact that it is too soon to be spreading ghost stories after the tradegy also plays a part in the absence of stories.

If you go to 1800Heaven this lady did some Evp work there and got a couple of hits.You can listen to them at her site

I believe they shouldn't build nothing there...its hallowed ground. It should be grass and two tall trees standing where the towers fell. A place where ppl can just sit on the grass and take in all of what happened.

I live in NYC. If you are ever here and interested in seeing Ground Zero the view from the street is not very good although you may want to view the memorial that is at street level.
You can see the huge glassed-in Atrium that is apart of the other WTC bldgs. If you go around SE corner and walk down about a block you can enter the other building, go into the atrium, walk up the grand staircase and you are standing over the WTC site with an unobstructed view. Not much to see now except construction. Personally I try to avoid the area, it is just too much to bear. I work in an office building on 5th Ave in an environment very similar to those people in the WTC who were just normal people being at work, having their morning coffee, attending a meeting, surfing the internet and thinking about that freaks me out. When something like this happens I think unintentionally we seem to rationalize it by pretending or believing that somehow we are different than those people - something like that won't happen to us. We will never be on the 89th floor of a building, standing on the ledge with your desk behind you on fire, having nowhere to go but out....those people who did have to make that decision thought the same thing I am thinking - something like that would never happen to me. I hear the 911 calls of women frightened, suddenly prisoners in their office begging the operator not to let them die - that could of been me. So many people there that day who didn't think it would happen to them, who did not want to die, who refused to believe they would die - those are the people who perished that day and if there is anyplace in this country that is haunted by god it has to be the WTC.

There are some ghost stories around the WTC site. I was at a bar on the Lower East Side a few months ago and started talking to a guy who happened to be part of the construction team working down there right now. We got to talking about it and I couldn't help but ask if anything....weird ever happens. He obviously did not want to talk about it but he smiled and said, "yeah we hear stuff we shouldn't and don't want to" I didn't press it because it obviously was making him uncomfortable.

This is from Shadowlands - scroll down to Manhattan
http://theshadowlands.net/places/newyork.htm

Manhattan - World Trade Center - Ground Zero Site - people reported seeing The victims spirits - workers and rescuers - & apparitions of the buildings still standing. Several Ghosts have been reported to be crying for help after 9/11.

that is what it looks like on sept 11, took the pic my self

Not that I'm an expert, but one would figure it would take some time before figuring out how to be dead right? Do you think they know how to materialize as soon as they die? Do you think they know how to scare the crap out of people as soon as they die? I'm guessing that these are learned skills. I think it will be a few more years before any significant activity takes place there.

Your first reaction is they would haunt "George Bush" ?????? How about Osama Bin Laden

I agree with others on here it would be very shakey ground for someone to post stories on the net about 9/11 ghosts tho as for the fact no one seems to have seen or heard anything i think that is because no one is there long enough or on regular nights? ...just my opinion tho...

The ghosts (if any...) are with their families who are haunted by their losses every day...

It wasn't my first reaction, it was someone else's. I just thought it was funny at the moment.

ahh crap you beat me! ZEB

Reading these posts still bring tears of sadness and pain to my eyes. I'm still haunted by 9/11.

I will never forget those that were lost or this horrific moment in our history ..Its forgetting about it that
makes people think it could not happen to them..well it could anytime..anywhere, THOSE IMAGE'S should
be embedded in out minds to remind us that we are a target of terrorism every second,, I guess im old
fasioned,in my way of thinking..but My Grandad was at Pearl H and fought for our freedom, and he said
does the younger generation even care anymore?? that made me cry and think how everything we are
is taken for granted now days...ok rant over...Ghosts? well who knows. I dont think they would want to hang
around there but a good chance of residual time sightings in the future I bet...Peace and light to all. ZEB

I agree with the person who thought there should be grass and two trees planted there (sorry, forgot the username).

I understand this way of thinking too, it seems like hallowed ground for sure, but I think New York "rising from the ashes" is a kind of victory in itself. It's like sticking your two fingers up at them and not being defeated.
