The Most Haunted Place In America
Daily Caller ^ | February 6, 2025 | John Loftus

Posted on 02/07/2026 9:10:02 PM PST by chickenlips

Americans love ghost stories. We may loath to admit it, but many of us secretly believe that haunted tales of things that go bump in the night are every bit as true as the more mundane facts of life, such as “the sky is blue.” We choose to believe them because they are fun and we enjoy feeling a little spooked from time to time, even though the better part of our judgment knows they cannot possibly be real. SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Though perhaps the most haunted place in America is neither a hotel nor a plantation, neither an abandoned insane asylum nor a cobble-stone alleyway hidden on a side street in an old New England city. It might well be an entire landscape, nearly 400 square miles of gorgeous and breathtaking but eerie and otherworldly terrain, in the heart of our country – a place where dinosaurs once roamed, where bison still roam, and where an infamous massacre left hundreds of women and children dead. SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Something about the Badlands has lingered with me to this day. Perhaps it was the oddly soothing feeling of its vastness. SNIP>>>>>>>

But there was a different feeling, deeper than the surface-level beauty. I was reading about the Badlands the other day, and discovered that I was not alone in feeling that the place was haunted. World-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright traveled to the Badlands in 1935. He too was gobsmacked by the landscape and, in a letter to Robert D. Lusk, a local newspaper editor, he described it as an “endless supernatural world”:

The only reason I am not scared of ghosts is that when I encounter them, I immediately feel the Love and warmth of the Holy Spirit in my chest.

The words that come out of my mouth are not mine, they are flowing through me.

I find myself listening and learning from the words coming out of my mouth.

Through this process and a lot of prayer, I have done many exorcisms and spirit releasements over the past several decades. All with Love and compassion.

The Love and Bliss that I experience when this is happening is beyond words of description. No amount of money would tempt me to quit doing the work as the reward is in being a part of the experience.

Not all ghosts or earthbound spirits are demonic. Jesus mentions “demonic” spirits and also “unclean” spirits. Demonic can only be removed from a person by driving them out. Unclean spirits had their own physical body at one time and got sidetracked in the soul growth process. They are misguided.

Unclean spirits can be redeemed and move toward Heaven.

A person’s perception of reality is a function of the frequency of consciousness from which they perceive it.

Most people belong to the “Flat Consciousness Society” and think that what they currently perceive is the only reality that exists.

After I died, left my physical body, crossed over into Heaven, and then returned to my physical body, my perception of reality includes human consciousness as a physical object. It gave me the ability to read the details of people’s souls including the stored memories of people’s experiences that happened in their life since conception.

It goes even further. I am able to take a total stranger, have them close their eyes, I say nothing and do not touch them in any way, and knock the person off their feet while standing 12 to 15 feet away from them merely by touching stored traumatic memories in their soul. Some call these dark clouds of consciousness “sin.” I call them “obstacles to Love” in a person’s soul.

I do this with scientists and unbelievers like you, and it freaks them out. After many years of experience and neuroscience study, I can explain and demonstrate this to scientists in an academic environment.

Your “about” page does not say where you are.
I am in Georgia, about 30 miles from Atlanta.
If you tell me where you are,
I will fly to the nearest airport,
rent an Uber, and come to meet you.
If you can’t knock me off my feet
from 10 feet away, you will reimburse me for the trip,
if you can, I will say “I’m sorry” and it will all be on me.
Deal or no deal?
Put up or shut up.

“I don’t believe in ghosts.”

I was a skeptic too. Then I became enlightened. The spirit realm, the powers of the air never went anywhere.

Scriptures renders sin as “missing the mark.”

That’s the biggest crock of horse hockey I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m a Christian. I’ve seen/heard ghosts on several occasions. Nothing demonic about it.

Let’s just say decades ago I went to a few places (all legally of course) including a defunct prison where executions occurred and an abandoned insane asylum that just felt WRONG. Some of you will be skeptical and some of you will know what I mean.

“It’s impossible to be a Christian and believe in ghosts.”

That is also when I first realized that memories are stored in the soul and not the brain

This is how I explain my personal belief: The brain is Ike a television. The soul is like the TV signal. If the brain is damaged, connection to the signal gets messed up. That's Alzheimer's, dementia, etc. The signal though is still there regardless of if the TV is working. And once the TV quits working (i.e., death) the signal is still there.

I would want nothing to do with this person. But I am curious if he accepts and shows up. I suspect not.
