Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location. This section could also contain research notes as well.

By definition, a vortex is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. But, we are not talking about this type of vortex. In the paranormal when you talk about a vortex you are referring to an area of concentrated energy that can act as a portal for spirits traveling between the spirit world and this world. When one encounters a vortex they may feel a range of sensations from a slight tingling on the exposed skin, to a vibration emanating from the ground, a sense of swaying, light headed, a feeling of being sucked into the ground among other sensations. Mediums and others who are sensitive often get headaches and are unable to stay even in the area around the vortex itself.

At the Warehouse we have a very strong vortex that we discovered by accident. We noticed that a number of people were feeling light headed and a little dizzy around a certain area located in the basement that was a mortuary from 1916- 1936. Mediums and others who were sensitive did not feel comfortable within this particular area as they developed severe headaches as they sensed and felt the concentrated energy flow. To identify the center of the vortex I drew a line to match up the points that people felt the strongest.

The following are a few of the actual accounts of the experiences in the Warehouse vortex:

One person who repeatedly stepped into the vortex had their glasses immediately fogged up, and, when they stepped out their glasses immediately cleared up.

One person in a motorized wheelchair went into the vortex and the wheelchair stopped working. She along with her wheelchair had to be physically lifted out of the vortex where her wheelchair immediately then began to work again

One of my most memorable was when a pregnant woman refused to go anywhere near the vortex. Her husband kept urging her on, but, she was adamant. When I asked her why she did not want to go she replied, "This is going to sound crazy, but, it is though her baby did not want her to go as he was kicking her like mad".

Channel 5 TV had placed a "ghost cam" looking down on the vortex that did not identify what it was that gave their viewers a chance to watch on the internet with the opportunity to comment on anything that they may have seen. In 9 years of doing the ghost cam they had never received the number of comments as they did from our vortex area where people saw faces and bodies coming up out of the vortex area.

EERIE BASEMENT

The action moves downstairs into the warehouse basement, which is dimly lit, funereal by design and caused a distinct physical tightness in this writer's chest, the kind that accompanies feelings of guilt or dread. The main room has rows of church pews in front of a stage where a coffin sits, with a mannequin dressed in a widow's black garb looming above.

Here, Helen Mayor, a Norton-based psychic medium, shares lore about how the dead were prepared for burial in Victorian times, the widow's yearlong mourning period, and a time when Canal Fulton was so wracked by illness that bodies were hauled away for mass burial in trenches.

The basement is where Lester, the warehouse's protective and dominant ghost, hangs out, we are told. A woman sometimes is seen in a basement mirror, Mayor says, and the ghost of a little African-American girl tends to be spotted as well.

In the near-darkness, Mayor brightly offers to do a form of North American energy healing on the individuals in our tour group. One of the women who steps forward told me the next day that her nagging back pains lifted with Mayor's ministrations.

Also in the basement is the aforementioned vortex, and another chamber identified by Mayor as the embalming room. She tells us the room is filled with shadow people whose names she calls out individually. When she asks if anyone else is seeing them, after she turns off her flashlight, no one replies.

The tour concludes in the building's third floor, oven-like on this August night, where a child-like ghost named Nate reportedly dwells amid a selection of toys spread out on a blanket. At Mayor's urging, a woman from the group sits on the floor to play patty-cake with Nate, who Mayor says is seated right across from the volunteer. As the child's game proceeds, Nate's new playmate says with surprise that she feels cold air at the palms of her hands in this very warm attic.

The Warehouse building built in 1906 is listed as a haunted place on websites and
books. It is located in Canal Fulton, Ohio.

Owners Ken and Margarita have personally experienced the ghosts haunting this old
building. They have heard footsteps, doors closing and the elevator running at night.
Lights would go off and on and Ken's tools would end up missing. Margarita has felt
someone breathing on her neck and has had someone grab her shoulder while walking
up the stairs. Both events scared her pretty good. Margarita chose to get sassy with the
spirits by telling them to help her get to work cleaning if they were going to be there
anyway. She felt a hand slap her hard on the cheek. So, she decided to make a deal
with the spirits: she would not make fun of them if they didn't touch her anymore! Once
Ken and Margarita realized the spirits were not bad, they decided to see if people would
be interested in a visiting a ghost dinner at the paranormal place.

Other Warehouse On The Canal ghost stories concern apparitions of two women in turn
of the century clothing as well as a tall man in a tan coat and hat having been seen
various people. Psychics have also had impressions of a young girl; a prankster boy;
and tragedy - all haunting this turn-of-the-century building. Photographs with strange
and unexplained orbs and ectoplasm; eerie cold spots, creepy sensations, unexplained
footsteps, noises and smells (such as cigar smoke), objects being moved around, etc.,
are mysteries surrounding the Warehouse On The Canal.

A combined "Ghost Dinner and Ghost Hunt Tour" is held monthly coinciding with the full
or new moon cycle. Dinner is held at the "Let's Mango Tea Garden Restaurant" where
you receive a very hands on approach by ghost investigator Sherri Brake-Recco, who
mixes modern technology with the ancient art of dowsing in search of ghosts and spirits.
She educates as well as presents the history of the building and local canal town area.
The tour begins in the basement which used to be a mortuary between 1916-1936. The
third floor still looks similar to the way it did in 1906. There are four floors of intrigue and
a very interesting local pioneer cemetery located nearby to investigate on the ghost tour.

Seating is limited and reservations are required as the tours book up months in advance.
Reservations can be made by calling (330) 854-1111.
