From what I have read previously, it is a storage building now.


Welcome to UM howlingwolf / panic!atthedisco !! Been awhile since I have been back there. So the church is now a storage facility?

Man, that night I went by myself, it just felt wierd, and I usually have no problems going alone anywhere.

I don't live far from Humble so I drove by that area a couple of days ago after work and didn't see a church. I have lived in this area for a while and can't place where a church may have been but they are developing that area fast.
'NME_locus' if you ever decide to explore the area again let me know. Since I am a noobie, I could use the pointers.

Hi. I've lived in Humble all my life and have to say that some of the information floating around is bogus.

First of all, the cemetery was never moved. It has always been in its current location. Sometime between the fifties--when the last person was buried--and now, it was abandoned and the roads and paths to it eventually became overgrown, then lost. Curious that an entire church and graveyard could just dissappear, I tried to find out who owns, or last owned, the property, but could come up with nothing. I have to assume that no one owns it, seeing as how the surrounding property is easy to verify, but not that piece.

Second: a little girl was murdered in the woods some time back; not several people.

I can't disprove the haunting theory, but I do have several visits to both Golf & Games and AMC under my belt and can say that I have never seen anything out of the ordinary during my time there. Of course I've never been there after closing.

Anyway, happy hunting.

Hey OG,

Thanks for the info.The church does not look like a church, but more of a office building or old warehouse of some sort. I was just spooked from the giant cross out front, but possible that it looked like a church because of the cross out front of some building.

Rgarding the info that I have gotten, there is more than just one cemetery. I have heard that there are quite a few undiscovered graves, and that many are under the Golf & Games and AMC theater. IN Shadowlands, it says something pretty similar though the rest sounds too far fetched:

Humble - 1960 Over Pass Area/Train Track - The East 1960 overpass is now built over what was once a cemetery. The overpass was built to cross a set of train tracks. Workers dug up the cemetery and moved it to the woods beside it. Now It is a extremely evil area. Several business's along the tracks have reported violent disturbances. There was a Putt Putt course along the tracks in the area that became a church, when the church would be closed in the night demonic screams could be heard from inside. The woods are very active as well, There are images seen floating through the woods as well as red lights, which are believed to be a gateway into pure evil.

Humble - Old Golf and Games - This area is now a church but was abandon for years only a haven to cults and ghosts. The ghosts here are the result of being disturbed by man moving their graves. About 97 percent of every sighting in this area the ghost appear as a rotting corpse. There's a bench just outside the building where every night there a white figure that sits on the far side of the bench. The figure is that of a human. The corpse like ghosts can also be seen in the woods across from the building wandering through the turned over gravestones and fallen church. IF YOU ATEMPT TO GO TO THIS AREA PLEASE USE EXTREAME CAUTION, THERE HAVE BEEN MURDERS AND BODIES UNCOVERED IN THE WOODS.

Humble - Old Dollar Theater - This Theater is located along a area believed to be haunted by demons and demonic forces. It is part of the 1960 overpass haunting. The workers of the theater would be attacked by the evil entity. It would throw things at them and corner them with shadows. The theater was once blessed with holy water and a cross was put in the projection booth, but everyday the cross was moved from on booth to another unexplained. Some mornings the person who was opening would hear voices from the projection rooms, and footsteps outside the hall. There was one morning when the projectionist went in and found the word "SATIN" carved in the wall of projection booth 2, this booth was where most of the bang and violent attacks occurred.

Was it supposed to be "SATAN"? That's what I'm assuming. It reminds me of something that happened at the high school where my father-in-law teaches. There used to be a rifle club (yeah, yeah, I know we're bumpkins) but in the eighties there was an "accident" and a student was shot, no charges filed, rifle club was eliminated from the curriculum. There started to be incidents in the school's auditorium where words (murderer, killer, etc.) were found painted on the walls after school hours with no evidence of a break-in. A few years later the guy who had shot the kid was found guilty of a rifle related murder. After that, everyone thought that he probably killed the kid at school on purpose.

See that stone, next time your out there if you do return could you take a spirit level (NO PUN INTENDED B4 U START) and see if that stone has slid the way gravity is pulling it. I'm just curious as if its perfectly level or moved against gravity (moving up the slope) then what caused the stone to sit like it does and why.

You guys should hit me up too, I talk to PSIcop, so he can let me know something. Umm..PSIcop, let me know something if you are going out there again. lol.

I was going to rotate that marker stone that has slid so its easier to see, but i was unable to get my grafix program to open, i need to finish my backups so i can restore my lappy. I will get that done eventually.

It's not in your head or anything; the G&G was turned into a church, but it looks like they tore it down and put up that storage facility. It's completely harmless now; but I remember that old building and surrounding area to be mighty creepy at times, especially when they had that fake hangman's gallow thing out front.

And some undiscovered graves are most definitely possible, so don't give up the hunt merely on my word.

Hey, I just went up there last night. I found two things:

1: A single grave from the 1920s that was separate from any large cemetary.
2: A hobo. He actually was really nice. He indeed lives out in those woods where the graveyard is. We talked to him for maybe 15 minutes, asking him about the area. He was a well-kept and tall black man who's named Arthur. He told us about another hobo from the area named Crazy Charlie. He said Charlie wasn't really dangerous, but just kind-of a nutcase. Also, there used to be a lot of homeless people living there about two years ago, but not anymore. Their stuff is still there. We got footage of guys' moldy books and journals, but they were in too bad of shape to bring back with us. He also told us that the reason those woods could be dangerous is because criminals run through there all the time, trying to hide from cops when they're being chased. He's heard nothing about a haunting. He said he'd be glad to help out anyone who goes out there during the day or morning, but he wouldn't advise anyone being up there at night. He lives in a tent out there.

One more thing of notice. The "I" shaped building in that aerial photo is the Humble Administration building. It's fenced, so you have to park at the Motel 8 and walk behind it to get to about where the cemetary is.

We also checked out the Old Dollar Theatre. It's in a shopping center right next to Poncho's (Same shopping center). It's at the 59 and 1960 intersection. There's no feasable way to get inside, although a friend of my partner supposedly got in by climbing through the ceiling tile. The ceiling is pretty high though, maybe 10 feet. I think it'd work, but you'd have to stand on somebody or something to get up there.

I just thought I'd add my experience to this ever-growing thread about the phenomenon. Glad I found this thread and forum. Also, if anyone wants to go out there again, send me an email at mr_polite_@hotmail.com . I'll give you my number and we can talk about taking a little expedition. I live in Humble.


It seems a little strange that there was lots of hobos and then very little with all the hobo populations belongings still left behind.

An explanation of the undead/zombie sightings might have been that what was seen was the hobos wandering about as they are malnutritioned and may appear to be 'dead looking' and thier clothes would have been torn and tattered due to lack of cleaning and living rough.

Another possiblity is that the sightings were of the ghost of the hobos themselves since there was so many that suddenly dissapeared and no evidence shows why or how they did.

A 3rd possiblity is that some sick individual(s) started hunting hobos and is why thier stuff is still there, ties in with the second possibility.

as we got on the tracks the flashlites stoped working (they were LED paramedics lites) so they were good for a long while


Similar thing happend to me ( post#1 )

LED lights should not drain down that fast because it is not have a light bulb and does not get hot. My LED Flashlight runs off of 3 AAA's which I can use for 72 hours non stop.

All my equipment was using Energizer Rechargable Nickel Metal Hydrade, which will outlast most batteries by 4x. I usually get 100 pictures off of it from my DigiCam. That night, I couldn't even get the camera to stay on.... until I left.

This might sound really silly but heres a suggestion, next time your out there wrap a camera or whatever uses batteries in tin foil poking holes in the wrapping for lense/focus sensor/buttons/led's etc. This might reduce battery drainage as if theres interfearance thats stopping the batteries from conducting to the equipment in question or draining the batteries the foil might* shield from the interfearance.

* a very BIG might!

Good advice. I already have the static free sheets that I wrap around it, which has the same purpose.

1st photo: Malfunction
Problem is, that was the only place I experienced it, other then the Salem lutheran cemetery while taking a picture standing around the area of Mike's tree. You can see the camera malfunctions and the red area on the pic.

Link to info on Mike's tree: http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/spe...host/video.html

2nd Photo: Same Camera, no malfunction
The same camera, but taken at The Saratoga Ghost Road, with my American Pittbull Terrier going ghost hunting with me looking for the spook lights like Scooby Doo would.
BTW- He's a 7th generation Sorrells/ Yarborouogh Bloodline, ABDA registered, costed $1k when puppy.

I believe that mist in 2nd pic is swamp gas. LOL

Bert Sorrells came from a family of pioneers. His grandfather moved west in a covered wagon with four pitbulls attached to the corners......

Looks like a ***** hobo estate residing over a beautiful american forrest landscape with interesting atmosphere, no parking (unless vehicle is off-road) and is quite eco-friendly. Visitors welcome tho not-so-welcome by night due to 'edgey atmosphere'. Fees for booking such an establishment are:
a: Guts.
b: Petrol (or gas) money for vehicle traveled there (more if out of country).
c: Lots of batteries.
d: Willing to put up with bum rubbish scattered all over the place.
Hobo mansion welcomes all (execpt for people with heart conditions or of a nervous disposition!) and hopes you enjoy your stay!

PS my apologies to all, was in a silly mood in the time of posting.

I plan on returning to BLC also if I have time this weekend. But anyway I will keep you guys posted on what happends this weekend. I will be going to get some daytime pics and returning Sat. night to see what I can find.......

I'm still interested in going too. NME has given me all of his contact info. He suggested that a group meet informally first to discuss everything. As long as it's not on a Katy football night, I'm definitely in.

We should probably communicate details through PMs if you're serious about meeting.

Hey everyone,

I just passed by the overpass again today and still trying to find out where this place is located. I see nothing but businesses around the whole area. I do look foward to meeting with people who are interested in seeing what all the hype is with this area. Let me know what you think.

Definately nothing spooky there, unless you consider hobos to be scary tongue.gif


Yeah, I like how you came to that conclusion even though you are not even in the US, and never stepped foot in the area.

To the Houston UM members:

Anyone interested in going out to do some exploring? I want to see if there is a second cemetery out there, and also what the boundaries are. I want to be able to map the area out ourselves instead of using aerial shots as a reference.

Only the basic equipment will be needed, such as camera, digital recorders and walkie-talkies would be great.

If anyone else is interested, please fill feel to let us know.

You can contact me, or Noah'sArkAngel...

Great to hear we have someone else on board. I'll contact you tonight to see your availability, so we can come up with an evening everyone can make it. We want to meet up in the NW Houston area within the next week or two to discuss everything.

Anyone else from the Houston area that's interested, please let us know soon. Thanks.

My dad's been to Humble before, he said that he doesn't know anything about any of these places. . .but he said that there's a really good sea food restaurant down past the artisian well, in case you get hungry after "the hunt". hehehe. My grandma might know something about why they closed down, though. . .I think she lived around that area for a while.

My dad said if you want some good haunted places in Texas, there was a cabin in Old Waverly that my grandma spent the night in and a LOT of freaky stuff happened. A woman hung herself in one of the rooms. Anyways, my grandma, her husband, and one of their couple friends went. The other woman's friend went to sleep in the car because the house was freaking him out and he fell asleep for a little while. He woke up a couple of hours later and looked in the rearview mirror and he said there was a woman sitting behind him and her face looked purple-ish and he said something about her eyes, but I can't remember what it was. . .anyways it scared him so much that he peed on his self and banged his head on the door frame getting out and knocked himself out. My grandma was playing cards or something and she felt like something had just dropped into her lap and she looked down and there was a necklace that didn't belong to either her or the other woman. She sat it on the table to take with her and a few minutes later it was gone.

My dad went in the same house during the summer, and he said in the front room it felt normal, you know, like summer. . .but then he walked into the bedroom and he said it was so cold that you could see your breath. . .

That story still scares the crap out of me. . .any ways he said places around the Big Thicket and Saratoga are really scary. He experienced "lost time" on some road leading out of saratoga (or was it saratoga road?). . .45 minutes to be exact. . . And Honey Island used to have a haunted hotel, but I heard that it got torn down. Texas has a lot of really freaky places. Most of my family lives there, and they're all big "paranormal" buffs (especially my grandma, isn't that weird?), so they know a lot of good places. Oh yeah, and there was something about the "Kaiser Burnout" or something. . . I think it's got something to do with the saratoga light on "Ghost Rd" AKA "Bragg Rd". . . .

I wish I lived in Texas! I'd definitely go with you to those places! And I'd really like to see the artisian well too! I might be visiting around Christmas, so I'll certainly do what I can while I'm there!

Edit:
I forgot to add. . . don't trust everything you read on shadowlands. Most of the stories on there aren't backed up by facts. It's not their fault, they just take the stories that they find and put them on there. . .but, like with most ghost stories, alot of things have been fabricated. . .you might want to go to a library (Isn't Humble a pretty nice sized city? They should have a library, it should have plenty of information about the "haunted areas". . .) that way you can sort out what really happened.

Thanks for the kicka$$ story, I'll have to check it out. I know where New Waverly is located, so Old Waverly can't be far. You know how big Texas is though, "the other side of town" can take about an hour to drive to. I don't mind the travel though.

I'm sure you meant Bragg Rd aka Ghost Road. Saratoga is the town itself. I've been down Ghost Rd, it's a dirt road, a beaten path off the paved road that is already in the middle of no where. The dirt road known as Ghost Road goes about 10 miles in. At night, when driving down this rd, the overhead foliage is thick that headlights beaming down the rd creates a tunnel effect.

The Kaiser Burnout was a fire event that occurred during the American Civil War in the Big Thicket area of Southeast Texas.

Like their counterparts in the Kansas region, local Texans in the Big Thicket forest region who refused to fight for the Confederacy where referred to as Jayhawkers. [1] These refugees hid in the nearby thick wooded area and were often poor, lacking basic necessities such as food and clothing. They would live off of the land's wild fruit and often salvaged corn sacks from timber camps for clothing. [2]

Due to the numerous beehives near Honey Island, a vast concentration of these Jayhawkers formed a camp nearby. [3] Sympathetic locals would also bring supplies to this encampment, often in exchange for the honey that was stolen. [4]
In the spring of 1865, a Confederate captain named Charlie Bullock captured some of these refugees and locked them up in a shack near Woodville, but they managed to escape. Shortly after, Confederate Captain James Kaiser set fire to the canebrake region near Honey Island to flush the Jayhawkers out. The heat of the blaze was so hot that it would permanently scar the land as the cane never grew back.[5] Over 3,000 acres (12 kmē) of the Big Thicket forest burned as well.[6]

Well, I agree and I am a Texas History guru. I will always study the land, even down to the Indian tribes that settled region. Since you live on the Gulf Coast, many of the tribes are based off the Coushatta Tribe, hence the Coushatta Casino in the Louisiana area where they are the most populated. I'll try to go to all the historic sites where all the battles took place. Battle of the Alamo (if you go there, the concrete area you stand on out front where everyone takes pictures of is a cemetery), San Jacinto Battlegrounds, The Goliad Massacre, Buffalo Bayou, Washington on the Brazos. Did you know that because of the battles for Texas independence from Mexico/Spanish , the United States took Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, parts of Colorado, and a few more states. They should have gave us the Alamo and Texas, but since they did not, they lost so much more.

Yada yada yada....Sorry for my jibber jabber.... Can I really highjack my thread if I'm the OP? LOL w00t.gif

Thanks. The actual investigation probably won't take place for another two weeks. We're going to meet up initially to get to know each other and discuss what each member can contribute. Our next meeting will be during the day to explore the area prior to the investigation. We'll be back to post about the investigation later on.

That is the worst time to go especially since kids are known to frequent the area. I talked to my source with the local P.D. and he stated to me that alot of gang members use this area to smoke their drugs and hang out. I would rather go on a weekday outside a holiday.
