Haunted Inn

+Submit Your Story
✕
Colesburg, Free state, South Africa
1965 and 2014

It is well known that the town of Colesburg is very haunted. Most people have experienced some version of activity in the town. The town serves as a halfway overnight rest point between Gauteng and the Cape. Most travelers stay the night. I know of two BnBs that are very active. The one where we experienced activity is one of the oldest buildings in town. In 2014 we stayed at the inn. We experienced flickering lights. Doors opening unexplainably and a presence sitting next to.you in bed. You can feel and see the bed sink in next to you where the unexplainable invisible weight sits down. You also experience the feeling of someone turning around in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. We mentioned our experience with my grandfather. He then mentioned his own experience there with my grandmother back in 1965. They left in the middle of the night due to the uneasiness of the activity. The town was established for sheep farming and mostly involved in the wool industry.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
