Dorchester, Nebraska Ghost Tales

  

There have been many reports of figures or shapes moving around in the 2nd floor of the city hall building.  I FINALLY saw it for myself earlier this year in March, 2009 and hurried and took a picture with my cell phone. It truly looked like the outline of a person staring outside the window, the person had weird facial features and it was just very, very eerie.  I have shown it to several friends but they think i am making it up. - Ghost picture submitted by Bradly

Gilbert's Graveyard, located about 5 miles SW of Dorchester, is a graveyard where lies the Gilbert family who lived as pioneers in the 1890’s. Apparently, John Gilbert (who is NOT buried in the cemetery…his ashes are located at Friend Library) was an agnostic and he did not belong to a church. At one point, Dr. Frank Hamilton of Friend asked John Gilbert to renounce agnosticism and become a Christian. Gilbert reportedly went into a seizure that last approximately 2 minutes and included muscle jerking, facial congestion, bloodshot eyes, and the excessive “licking of his lips” purportedly due to a dry mouth. During the attack John Gilbert was said to have “venomously cursed God. ” Gilbert donated money to build the library in Friend, under the condition that his agnostic books would be kept on the shelves in the library.

A young relative died in our house years ago. We have heard a young girl singing during the day. Guests have felt someone staring at them in the night. Electronics, lights, and battery operated things have come on in the middle of the night. There is also a closet door that comes open after it is shut. We have given up, we just leave it open now. Things turn up missing, never to be found again, or found in a strange locations. We have photos of orbs, during b-days and etc. others in the photos have not given permission to have photos uploaded. She followed our son up the stairs one evening, he felt her and heard her foot steps. He was a 17 at the time. After that he would never stay home alone. We had our house investigated by a paranormal investigator and were told...she is a happy presence. We already knew that. .
