Thomas Edison's Menlo Park (Greenfield Village) - Paranormal History Profile
Thomas Edison's Menlo Park (Greenfield Village)
On June 28, 2017, we traveled to Dearborn, Michigan and stopped at Henry Ford's Greenfield Village. One of the buildings at the village is Thomas Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory. In this video we will talk about our experiences at this location, as well as, why we believe that this location could be haunted.
PANICd Paranormal History Profile - Our Haunted Travels is a series of Paranormal History Profile that we provide the history of the location, the ghost stories and folklore, the paranormal claims, our personal experiences, and why we believe the location could be haunted. Be sure to follow along with our adventures where we feature a new location we have visited each week at:
Ghost Stories and Folklore are Paranormal History Profile that will cover the paranormal claims at the particular locations. On occasion, we may deviate from a location and provide some sort of creepy pasta or urban legend video. These videos are narrated by our mascot Boris to add that special creepy effect to the videos. So sit back, listen, and enjoy. You can see the complete catalog of Ghost Stories and Folklore Videos we have at:

The Nightmare World of Gang Stalking
More than 10,000 people worldwide claim they're the victims of a vast organized surveillance effort designed to ruin their lives, a phenomenon known as gang stalking. Mental health experts see gang stalking as a symptom of paranoia, but the self-identified victims who insist what they're experiencing is real have come together online and in support groups to share their stories.
VICE met up with a handful of Americans who claim their lives have been derailed by gang stalking to understand what serious consequences the phenomenon presents. Then we hear from Dr. Josh Bazell, one of many physicians who believes the victims of gang stalking are experiencing dangerous delusions that could be treated by mental health professionals.

The Brewster Center Vs The YMCA In Black Bottom...Detroit, Michigan
The Brewster Center Vs The YMCA In Black Bottom...Detroit, Michigan...
Black Bottom Hasting Street Paradise Valley... Detroit, Michigan
Black Bottom, Detroit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Bottom was a predominantly black neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, that was demolished and replaced with Lafayette Park in the 1960s. The Black Bottom–Paradise Valley area on the city's east side became known for its significant contribution to American music including Blues, Big Band, and Jazz from the 1930s to the 1950s. It was located on Detroit's near East Side bounded by Gratiot Avenue, Brush Street, Vernor Highway, and the Grand Trunk railroad tracks.
The French gave the Black Bottom area its name because of its fertile, dark topsoil. The name is not a reference to black people.
The area's main commercial avenues were Hastings and St. Antoine streets. An adjacent north-bordering area known as Paradise Valley contained night clubs where famous Blues, Big Band, and Jazz artists such as Duke Ellington, Billy Eckstine, Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie regularly performed. In 1941, the city's Orchestra Hall was named Paradise Theatre. Aretha Franklin's father, the Reverend C. L. Franklin, first opened his New Bethel Baptist Church on Hastings Street. Hastings Street, which ran north-south through Black Bottom, had been an area populated by immigrants before World War I. With ethnic succession, by the 1950s it became an African-American community of black-owned business, social institutions, and night clubs. Historically, this area was the source of the River Savoyard, which was buried as a sewer in 1836. Its rich soils are the source of the name Black Bottom. Detroit's Broadway Avenue Historic District contains a sub-district sometimes called the Harmonie Park District which has taken on the renowned legacy of Detroit's music from the 1930s through the 1950s and into the present.
Black Bottom endured the Great Depression, with many of its residents working in factories. Following World War II, the physical structures of Black Bottom were in need of replacement. In the early 1960s, the City of Detroit demolished the Black Bottom district as part of an urban renewal project. The area was replaced by the Chrysler Freeway (Interstate 75 and Interstate 375) and Lafayette Park, a residential development designed by Mies van der Rohe and intended as a model neighborhood. It combined residential townhouses, apartments and high-rises with commercial areas. Many of the residents relocated to large public housing projects such as the Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects Homes and Jeffries Homes.
Historically, its primary business district was in an area bounded by Vernor, John R., Madison, and Hastings. Gratiot Avenue passed through that business district. The business district included hotels, restaurants, music stores, bowling alleys, shops, policy offices, and grocery stores. There were 17 nightclubs in that business district.

Plymouth Michigan History: Demolition of Historic Kellogg (Park) House Part 3
Here is a Video my nephew Brandon Sabo shot on the morning of October 14, 2016, of the demolition of the Historic Kellogg Home on Ann Arbor Trail, in Historic Plymouth Michigan, where it is easier to get a permit to demolish a historic home, than it is to get a permit to build a new front porch.
This (over) 150 year old home, which was in great shape and up to code, was purchased by a local developer for over a half million dollars, so that he could demolish it, and build a new home on the lot. The home was historically significant to the City and the State - the original owner being the namesake of Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth.
The policy of Plymouth City Hall, is to encourage these demolitions of Historic Plymouth, and encourage developers to replace historically significant historic homes with bigfoot McMansions.
As a matter of fact, the City of Plymouth does have a historic district, unfortunately, the Kellogg home was not in that district. However, even historic homes within that historic district, have been demolished. Eight of them. The city and the DDA even purchased a property within the Historic district, and at the time of this upload, is working feverishly to have the site demolished for a parking garage. The particular site they would like to demolish, is a site that once housed escaped slaves on the Underground railroad.
