He saw a translucent man walk past his window late at night. Springfield has more hauntings than mentioned in this site. The abandoned house gated off at the end of my street was eerily inaccessible. No driveway, no gate entrance. My father spoke of the old animal shelter downtown Springfield as haunted. My old house my dad currently lives in has strange occurrences every now and then from footsteps to lights shutting on and off by themselves or the fact as a child I saw skeleton bones in my Bathroom but these were just visions as I think I had Psychic abilities at a young age that slowly disappeared to my adult years. I thought it was weird but brushed it off as me just being too imaginative. I forgot to mention the Black Wolf at the top of my stairwell. The vivid nightmares of me getting pushed off the top of that very stairwell. The nightmare where I witnessed all my mothers exercising equipment moving on its own. There was a tap on my Shoulder one night as I was sleeping adjacent to my sister but it wasn’t her as she was sound asleep. I used to go to my parents bed every time I felt very uncomfortable. I’m not sure if the Spirit was menacing though it seemed like there was a female energy that was nurturing and the other was a unknown origin. I feel the female presence has saved me as I once fell from the top of my bunk bed and I didn’t make very hard impact on the floor as I should have. Something lightens the fall if gravity would have done much worse. My parent told me as a baby I was in those walking carts and I went over the edge of the basement stairs and tumbled down the whole fight but I didn’t have a single scratch, Broken bone or even worse I should have died.

It didn't "soon" become something else but lasted from the mid 1930's till a few decades later. My grandparents lived in Longmeadow on Western Drive in a house that I, too, lived in while my parents looked for a house in Connecticut right after the War. They may of lived across the street frowith time, Forest Park, but at any rate there was what seemed to be a large wooded area across from their house. I still retain a photo, framed, in my NYC apartment. The wealth we had as children dissipated with time, and we all scrambled for a livelihood, fortunately ending up fine. But the "Growers," a small chain, and its demise haunted my childhood!

But either way, growing up I used to play in all the woods surrounding tha Five Mile Pond and out towards 16 Acres, honestly have found alot of creepy stuff with in these patches of woods, from what looks to be possible burial mounds, circular ditches dug, a few small caves, more so like 1 room..maybe it was som1 homeless and made a dug-in, but they didn't have any evidence of any 1 that may of lived there, but still kind of a weird find... Well as for paranormal, alot of areas around 16 Acres, Pine Point, Indian Orchard an into Ludlow have this creepy vibe, as if your being watched, fallowed and even stalked... I don't recommend people tredging thru tha patches of woods scattered about this area at night alone, especially tha woods on tha back roads of 16 Acres, tha Dunes of Hell's Acres, which I believe they built candos, used to be said to be a pet cemetery possibly, no actual proof was found, but that place used to spook me as a kid, within all these areas seen shadow figures, the sense of being watched, an fallowed, orbs, ghost animals, certian areas you could feel as if you were having a "out-of-body" feeling, chills even during tha hottest parts of summer, being thouched, tha feeling of being unwanted in an area, certain areas would even seem like they were trying to mess with your mind and dissorient you...

As a kid, I was present at the lower pond when a drowning occurred. That was either 1970 or 1973, I can't remember which. A crowd of people watched as the rescue personnel, wearing rubber diving suits, search the pond for the victim.

My mother moved to Springfield after that, and the custody arrangement was that I was with my father during the school year, and with my mother for the summers (until I was 14). My mother lived in the Mulberry House (101 Mulberry St) during 1968-1975. There was a family that lived in that house (which had about 4 stories)--Labbe was their surname. Robert, John, Fran, Suzanne, and Linda were the kids that lived there. I hung out with them during the summers I visited Springfield. Some rooms in the upper floors were rented out--a tenant died in one of the rooms, and his remains weren't discovered for several days after his death. After his death, unexplained noises started emanating from that particular floor, which were attributed to his ghost.
