Raised in the Pacific Northwest, the young Fox began playing piano at the age of five. A lifetime of playing music and sitting at the piano has allowed it to become second nature to him. He played piano and violin throughout his academic years, which led to learning guitar and bass. Soon after, he began […]

“I stay in haunted houses and inns frequently” I saw a ghost in the back seat of my car while driving alone in New Hampshire many years ago. After doing “research” I found out it could have been two types of apparitions. One is a ghost that has to complete a particular trip or “mission”. […]

I saw a Halloween Dummy, placed by three dummies, stop a train. True story… I’m almost ashamed to tell this story, but I’ll use this as a confession. Perhaps the good Lord and L&N will forgive me. In the Fall of 1977, around Halloween, a couple friends and I took a little ride around the […]

“When I was a kid on Halloween something shot through the sky and landed in the woods near my house late one night. So, I went to go check it out. I walked deep in the woods and came across a giant circus tent I slowly opened the flaps of the tent to look inside […]

MY HAUNTED HAPPENING – When I was a kid, I lived in this one house where I could swear that something just wasn’t right. My room was right next to the attic door. My dad kept a lot of junk up there. One day, when I was home alone, I went up there to root […]

“I had a friend in high school who lived in a house haunted by the spirit of a little girl. Occasionally, she would manifest herself. One or the other of us would see her. We’d never see her at the same time. We always described her the same way, she had very light brown, blondish […]

“My brother, who was my best friend, biggest fan and best supporter, passed away. He was killed in an auto accident some years ago. I’ve always had this dream of seeing him again. You know, it just makes you think about what’s on the other side. I was onstage with Royal Hunt in Zurich, Switzerland […]

“When I was young, I remember once…and I don’t know how…but I was in a room and I could have sworn that I saw the doorknob turn, the door opened and nobody was there. There was nobody else in the house at all. I freaked. I was young. I’ll never forget it. But, I don’t […]

One night when I was on vacation and stayed at my parent’s house, I was in bed when I suddenly woke up and felt an arm around my chest. At first, I thought this normal, and that it was my girlfriend at the time. Then, becoming more awake, I realized that my girlfriend wasn’t even […]

I’m writing to relay some of the band’s “haunted happenings.” The band was in the studio recording of all things, their song “Haunted.” Now, this was years ago on their beginning album “Book Of Shadows.” The vocalist at that time was in the booth recording his vocals and a woman’s voice joined on one particular […]

The first gig I did with Ozzy was Allentown Pennsylvania I think, or someplace in that area: Randy Rhoads funeral had only been a day or so beforehand, and I guess I had only been in the states for three maybe four days in all. All my gear was still in transit via rocket cargo, […]

Oh yeah, I’ve had several of them. Well, there was this one, where I lived, my stepfather passed away. So like the night before he died, he was trying to call to me. I really didn’t say anything. I kinda was like whatever and kept it to myself. And then after a couple of days, […]

One time I was fishing in the middle of a water dam with my cousin. Since we were out in the middle, I could see about 100 yards in each direction. As the sun started to go down, I turned around to get some more bait and this guy was standing behind me – he […]

Yes, Birmingham, Alabama. It was an old steel mill that was shut down and turned into a venue. It was like an outside venue. It’s renowned for how many of it workers lost their lives there. (Jonny remembers the name of the place, but it is not understandable enough to me to even try to […]

I had a ghost pin me down and try to get inside my body once in Charlotte many years ago. I woke up and tried to scream but nothing would come out. My body was shaking and I couldn’t move away. It is very hard to explain to people and sounds crazy, but I will […]

My haunting story was when I was on my way home from Vegas, it was raining REALLY hard and too dangerous to drive so I stopped at a hotel to stay the night. Only one couple was there dancing in the bar area and no other hotel guests were to be seen. I put my […]

No, I don’t. I mean, you know, again people always talk about being spiritual and stuff like that. I’ve never, it doesn’t. Again, part being an atheist I guess is part of it. I’ve thought about it a lot in my life, I haven’t always thought the same way. A natural part for everyone is […]

Not exactly a haunting or ghost citing but we were all practicing one night and Kris’s amp just cut out for no apparent reason. We checked fuses, cables, connections and couldn’t figure out why it had stopped working. After about ten seconds it just kicked back in and has been fine ever since. That night […]

You know everyday day life is somewhat of paranormal. You know basically, everything is just weird. Life, in general, is weird. That’s why I stay away from watching the news. It’s too depressing. I have just moved into a new house that is like 200 years old. All winter we never really made it to […]

I’ll send this to the rest of the band. I do have a personal story. I grew up in Hawaii on the Island of Oahu. Hawaii is a very spiritual place. My stepdad built our home himself in the back of Niu Valley, so the property meant a lot to him. Anyway, I was about […]

Yes, I’m very much into that. I was never abducted or anything like that, although I have some friends who say they were. Where I grew up in Europe, there was this old hotel that burned down. Well, half of it. They said it was destroyed and no one could go in there. Well, one […]

Oh cool. I know I’ve got a good one. Hold on…okay, I was living at my brother’s house for a while and I didn’t know what was going on but I kept feeling like someone was there. No one else would believe me. I was the only one getting the feeling. I would walk into […]

Well, not a haunting per say, but my father passed away a few years ago and I do sometimes when I think about him a lot, I do feel his presence. You know, if I’m going through tough times the lights will flicker but that’s about it. I can feel a strong presence and I […]
