When patients were committed to the Willard Asylum for the Insane in Upstate New York, they arrived with a suitcase packed with all of the possessions they thought they needed for their time inside. 

Most never left. The mental hospital had an average stay of nearly 30 years. When patients died, they were buried in nameless graves across the street of the asylum. Their suitcases, with all their worldly possessions, were locked in an attic and forgotten.

In 1995, an employee of the mental hospital discovered the suitcases, 400 of them. They date from 1910 to 1960. 

In French mythology or folklore, Dames Blanches (meaning literally white ladies) were female spirits or supernatural beings, comparable to the White Women of both Dutch and Germanic mythology. The Dames Blanches were reported in the region of Lorraine (Lotharingen) and Normandy. They appear (as Damas blancas, in Occitan), in the Pyrenees mountains, where they were supposed to appear near caves and caverns.

One night when my friend came over, we were doing the Ouija Board. We were talking to a little boy; then there was a balloon that was right next to us! It popped, so we asked if it was the boy (who did it), and the ouija board said, "Yes."

After a while, there was another sign that there was a ghost. Someone was knocking on the door. When I opened the door, there was a short outline of a boy -- and it vanished into the wall!

From now on, when we do the Ouija Board, we don’t ask for big signs.
