The Burial Chamber Haunted House and
Blood City Haunted Experience have been
constructed within an old warehouse used for crane repair. This warehouse has been standing for
more than 70 years and has had quite a past. The foundation was originally
constructed in the 1930's prior to the depression in hopes of creating a large
paper converting facility. Unfortunately, after the founder was able to
acquire ample funds, he ran off with the money and only had the base foundation
for a building standing. The property was then sold to the Ulrich
family.
The Ulrich's decided to build a warehouse
on part of what stood as the foundation of the prior construction. This
warehouse was used to service cranes and trucks.
After the business was terminated, the building was put up for sale.
Conditional sales forced excavation of the floor of the building remove contaminants
in the soil.
Upon commencement of the digging, it
didn't take long to find that things weren't as they should have been. The
digging revealed skeletal remains encapsulated in the soil.
The remains quickly halted the digging.
Examiners were called in to identify the remains that were buried in the
floor. The tests revealed the remains were approximately 100-130
years old. An outside firm was then hired to carefully perform the
digging.
Problems quickly arose as the digging
proceeded. Healthy workers called in sick. Some of the workers
claimed that when they worked in the holes they felt unusual sensations.
The same workers claimed the sensations were those of a "ghostly
presence". It was thought that the souls of the buried corpses had
been awakened and were searching for answers.
Apparently the building was built on top
of on ancient burial ground. No head stones were found, just rock that lay
in strange formations. As the digging proceeded, the workers were refusing
to climb into the holes for fear of their sanity. Full-time employees
chose to leave the company rather than succumb to the torture of the sensations.
Weeks passed and work was slowed to a
snail's pace. Discussions took place to determine the best way to handle
the situation. It was determined that it would be best to leave the burial
ground intact, so as not to disturb any other bodies. The floor remained
dirt--no concrete covering, in case future owners wanted to handle it
differently.
With the situation as it was, buyer
interest dwindled. Soon it was decided that the location would be perfect
for a haunted house.
Experiences within the building have
ranged from the sensation of a unusual presence to strange happenings when a
manual tuned radio changes stations all by itself. People have claimed to
hear someone talking off in the distance, but couldn't pinpoint where the voice
was coming from. Also, pictures taken within the building typically
produce "orbs". These "orbs" or spots of light on cameras are typically
known to signify a presence from the unknown.
The spirits continue to roam, and nobody
knows when the experiences will stop. This web site will continue to
document strange happenings within the building.
