Ridgecliff Psych Hospital - Confirming / Testimony

Here's an email I received in reference to the post: Questions, referring to the Ridgecliff Pyschiatric Hospital

---

hi- my name is rich and i gotta share this with you.
an old aquaintance of mine named Todd just added to you site today because of me. I am writing you as to hold testimony to his truthful credibility.

the way this whole thing started was earlier in the week i was telling a female musician friend of mine who lives in Euclid about the nutziest / craziest halloween party that ive ever been to in my life. I tried to tell her about where it was but i had to go on a personal scavenger hunt to find. I even called the city and the old timers couldnt place the building. they even referred me to the historical dept which supposedly actually has pictures of it so i am told. so I hunted down todd on the web. (scavenger hunt #2 as for i havent seen or talked to him since 1980~ish. ) he briefly e-mailed me the name of the place and then i found your site surfing. then after reading it i just had to pass it along to todd as f.y.i.
I am happy i did cause he added an entry to your blog . he e-mailed again breifly saying he will add more to your blog. he said some of the spook stories other than sounds was there were things/ objects that he saw physical move and said stuff got moved when he wasnt looking !
take care rich z.....

I am 49 yrs old now but this party was as mentioned ~1982~ish. I worked with Todd ~1980 at a gas station. He was a young (extremely awesome)musician. As mentioned his dad's company hired him to live and take care the abandoned Ridgecliff. He invited a few dozen of us friends to a party at this building he was living at. It was a costume halloween party. His bed was centered in the the recreation area. He had like the worlds largest bedroom lol! Since he is a musician he also had his band set up in the rec room for this party. So for fun he turned us loose on a hide and go seek venture on the upper 2 or 3 floors. that was creepy cause the only lighting on those floors was from the parking lot lamp posts shining thru the windows. He also had a few strobe lights in the stair wells- holy smokes what a trip! I remember most of the rooms were all gutted with their hospital stuff removed. I remember the nurses stations and also the pharmacy vaults too. I remember there were a few shower type (hose down) rooms that looked like they would strap the patients down and hose(or shower) them down. Most of all i remember what i called the solitary confinement rooms. yes the proverbial rubber rooms! there was a single bed in them and the whole room was only about 2 feet wider than the bed. the walls were padded(not really rubber!) oh yes the beds were bolted to the floors. The only window in the room was in the door at the foot of the bed. It was a square 6" inches of safety glass (with wire mesh in it).Gosh you could only just imagine the horrors in that HaHa Motel! To the folx working there this was an every day thing.

Headlights at Gore Orphanage?

Subject: Gore Orphanage

What do you know about car headlights on the gore orphanage road. I have had 2 seperate incidents there involving headlights that was there then disappeared in matter of 45 seconds. It happens around the bridge, I know its not the ranger, because I have never been bothered by the ranger we always stay close to the bridge.

Geneva Armory?

Hi!

I cannot seem to get this question answered by anyone. My Step sister told me a story about a armory around Geneva Ohio, she said that is where they made bombs for WW2. It is now abandoned but rumor has it, it is still contaminated. Do you have any information. I cannot find anything online probably because it is Top Secret.

Thanks

Witches Ball

I have been coming to the ball ever since I was in high school in Brunswick in 1986, but now that I have kids they wanted to see the ball and what happened after 23 years was very scary,and very real. The kids wanted to sit on the ball and while taking the picture a witch face appeared on the ball, clear as day... I can only get the picture to show the image when I zoom in on my camera phone, and it wont copy other wise I would post it on a website. It is very real and the story behind this is to. Everyone jokes around about it, but take it seriously,and another thing don't go at night unless you would like to be charged with criminal trespassing and be arrested and your vehicle impounded. Go during the day and take pictures of all angles, then download them and zoom in and you will see people standing around the cemetery watching you, and don't try to deface the ball, It is a landmark to all, and shame on you if you do! We did study up on the facts and she did kill her entire family, and dump them in the well. It is in the county records, and the well still does exist not far from there. If you would like to e-mail me I can tell you more, and there is more that people don't know... fourwinns@rocketmail.com.
