I myself, live about a mile from the Witches Ball. As a visitor of Myrtle Hill Cemetery almost everyday i can tell you my experiences there. I have never seen a black rose or leaves surrounding the ball. However, I have many times layed my hands upon her grave and felt the cold or hot. My creepiest moment. A warm (and i mean warm) June day, My friend and I were walking among the dead, and freely speaking. I laid my hands upon the ball and it was freezing cold, I immediately took them off the grave and a relatively calm breeze became extreme and this is broad day light. I went back that night and saw the eerie figure coming out of the woods. I have never been afraid of "ghosts", but this time i felt scared and definitely RAN!!!

Creepy noise

Just something i thought you might like to add to your site...
i have been to the witches ball.. both during the day, and 2 different times at night, and i have a feeling, since there is no birth/death date no first name, it's a family monument... there are many people with Stoskopf as their last name, burried in that cemetary. I touched the ball, and it was warm, because of the sun.. just a comment i'd like to add... marble retains heat, so if the sun set and it's cold outside, it's still going to be a bit warm. The reason there are no leaves etc. around it, is because there are no trees near by. I haven't encountered a black flower of any sort...and the ball didn't glow.. it's a normal monument for a family during the day, but with all the stories attached to it... it is scary at night..
The only things creepy is that i was the only one up in my house the other night, after i came back, and i kept hearing static of some sort (even though all the appliances were off.. in my basement ) yet the same thing happened in my bedroom.. i was awoken by a not so faint static noise.. and the other thing is that there are no lights surrounding the grave and it looked like eyes on the grave following us as we drove past, and we know it wasn't out lights, because when we turned off the headlights, there was still a faint light, and i looked back at the ball, the lights should have been red from the tail lights...but they weren't red they were white... which could not have been possible.. it just felt like the eyes were watching me....

A warning from the current owner

Hello,
I have been reading your stories about the witches ball and all the hype.... I just wanted to say that I am now the current owner of the house where all this supposed murdering occurred. Granted, this may have happened. But it would not be associated with the witches ball. The person who did the Murdering was a lady named Wise, who did not own the home until the 1950s, according to court records. The person buried under the witches ball is one of the original owners of the home...the Stoskopf family. And many of their relatives still reside in Valley City.
I have lived here for 8 years and haven't seen glowing walls, or bleeding ceilings, or slamming doors yet. Nor has it been turned into an office building...Geez! It just goes to show you that some people have extraordinary imaginations.
I have, however, been known to scare off teenagers who drive over here to look in my windows hoping to see a ghost, only to be met by a very unhappy ME! And they should know that they should be far more worried about the living then the dead.
We have had some "out of the ordinary" occurrences. But nothing life threatening, scary or anything to be concerned about. The house just needed someone to love it. And we do.
The reason the witches ball is cool during the hot sun of the morning is because Granite, which the ball is made of, is cooled down significantly with the cold of the evening, and it is warm at night, because it takes all day to heat it up, and stays warm most of the night. So people need to stop visiting, having rituals and most of all, need to stop knocking it off it's perch, which requires a crane to return it to it place, at an expense to the family when it happens.
Nothing magical, creepy or otherwise will happen when visiting the site. Only over active imaginations seeing things created by their own minds.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to give you answers, or perhaps find out for you. But people really do need to relax about this house. And stop peeking in my windows before someone really gets hurt!

The Witch under the Ball

Hi. People say it's a joke but my current boyfriend's brother is buried there and believe me it's no joke. As a child he was very interested in this and a friend of his family researched the name on the ball Stoskopf. It is the name of a woman who believed she was a witch. My boyfriend knew the family who rented out a house to the Stoskopf family. It was in Valley City where all this took place and the house still stands. He told me that the house was rented out to other families after the time she murdered her family but people would move out after being there a month. It was said that the basement wall would light up having something to do with the rituals she held in her back yard. He told me he will drive me by the house some day which is now a office building. The only thing he said that was different was that she killed her family with a ax. It's all scary to me because the first time me and my friends went their we got a flat tire on the way home.

Eerie Occurances at the Witch's Ball

My friend and I have gone to the witches ball several times and we have never seen a black rose, an eerie mist surrounding it or anything special like that. The reason no leaves fall around it is because the ball is in the middle of the graveyard, nowhere near the trees. The stories about it being warm are true though. One night we went there around 2 am, way after the sun set, so it couldn't have still been warm from the sun beating on it all day, and it was really really warm especially on the bottom. Also we put a penny on the very top of it and we just left it there. About 5-6 months later, no exaggeration, we went back and the penny was still there. I don't really know what that means but its very weird because there are so many people that go there and how could it have been sitting in the exact same place that much later, with the wind and snow and kids who are always going there? It probably means nothing but it just kinda creeps us out. My mom used to go there when she was younger with all of her friends and for those who have never been there, there is two entrances to the place, one is just a little road and the other is a hill, its kinda steep. Anyway my mom and her friends went one night they choose to go up the hill and the car was in perfect shape and they had plenty of gas but half way up the hill the car stalled. They got out to investigate under the hood and they heard screeching noises and someone saw some sort of white floating object in the trees. They couldn't get the car started and they wanted to get out of there so they decided to just push the car back down the hill and get away from there when they got the car down the hill it started right up. I don't know if that was true or not, I wasn't there but those are my stories
