| GHOSTS & HAUNTS IN MISSOURI HAUNTED BLACKWELL STORIES page 3 Recently myself and 2 friends were told of a resturant on Upper Blackwell Road where Satanism was practiced. So on our way to camp out near here we decided to look for the place. We stopped in a gas station and asked for directions to Upper Blackwell road, the gentleman and woman behind the counter asked why and I replied that a friend mentioned a nice resturant there. The woman and man behind the counter shot each other nervous glances and quickly told us they had never heard of the road and that we had to leave. I looked at them dumbfounded and asked them if they knew anyone who WOULD know at which point they directed us to the casey's across the street and told us we'd find what we were looking for over "there" and quickly rushed us out and on our way. If this wasn't odd enough behaviour, when we got over to casey's to ask directions the woman looked at my belly (I am 5 months pregnant but not really showing so I was astounded she had figured this out on her own) and told us where we needed to go, which was only a street or two over. She disappeared into the back and out emerged another woman asking how far along I was....I didn't answer and walked back to our vehicle. We were a little freaked out but wanted to see this restaurant......finally after some searching and confusion as to roads, we spotted the small house made into a restaurant, named Four Winds. We proceeded to enter the empty of guests building, checked the closing time (an hour later) and attempted to enter at which point a short man quickly greeted the two boys in front of me and told them he was closed. They turned to me and apologized and offered fast food. The man took one look at me and immediatly changed his mind, he grabbed me by the arm and ushered me inside cooing over me and asking me how far along I was, maybe I'm more noticable than I think, but no one else, even my family recognizes my belly as being pregnant. Anyhow, he proceeded to be very curteous to me and kind of mean to my two male companions. He made a big fuss the whole time over me and my baby to be. The restaurant was nicely furnished, morrocan style, which turns out was because he claimed to be moroccan. Anyhow, basically I ordered onion rings (the restaurant was VERY pricey and everything I tried to order he said they were out of so I settled on the onion rings, trying to pawn it off as just EXACTLY what I was craving and the ONLY thing baby wanted.) the boys had a meal, steak I think and cheese cake. The guy even chearged us for the WATER!!!!! but anyhow, I wanted to leave cuz the guy was creeping me out along w/ the boys, then I had to pee, couldn't get the door to close and finally said screw it and went w/ the door open. note: the hallway led only to the bathrooms and there was nop place to go but the restrooms or out the front door at the beginning to the hallway. About halfway through dinner I had to go to the restroom again and had one of the gentlemen escort me to help close the door, tirns out he had to go to, so we went to our respective facilities. Upon leaving the restroom I ran into the gentleman accompanying me and we went back to our table where our other friend was as he casually told us something was bothering him, we asked what and he replied "did you see a man go down that hall?" we said, no, the bathrooms are 1 person and the only thing down the hall. Apparently he saw a gentlman of avg. height wearing a hawaiin print shirt and brown loafers run down the hallway but not exit. We assured him the hallway only went to the bathrooms and it was impossible. note: this particular friend doesn't believe in the paranormal. We finished our dinner while the gentleman who was serving us drilled us where we were from, how old we were, if we had family, and where we were staying.......all a little odd, not your typical conversation between host and dinner guests. He said no one else was in the restaurant and he was closing down to go home but had the sneaky suspicion I was pregnant and didn't want to turn away the opportunity to feed a pregnant woman, he claimed his daughter was pregnant but only abt. 2 months along. So, we ate and left quickly as well as changing where we were going to be staying the night (from blackwell to valles mines). About 15 minutes later after leaving I starting feeling funny, very dizzy and strange, barely able to keep myself awake. The next morning I threw up a bunch of blood and what looked like tar. We decided not to go back again, and my friend is still looking for a way to explain what he saw run down the hallway. JK Hi! I Have spent the past 7 summers camping at Blackwell. When I was younger, before the old bridge was closed, myself and my sister and brother-in-law were chased back across the bridge by the "phantom car". I have never seen the bon fire, but allot of wierd things do happen, I noticed in another post someone mentioning black "things" jumping from trees, this could be the cats that do frequent the area. At night camping sometimes you can here really wierd things, I have seen orbs across the river just traveling down the tracks! P |
