There is a ghost of a male in his late teens early 20's who died a tragic death in the late 1940's next to these tracks. This spirit seems to be very hostile. Reported by people walking by the tracks that have no knowledge of the "legend" and hear distinct whispering (one such incident, the entity whispered "I see you") as well as feeling strange rushes of air, as if someone is running past them. Cold spots , the feeling of not being welcomed are also felt. Those that have seen this entity describe it as a male, between the ages of 18-22, that is dressed in garments from the late 40's/early 50's. The spirit seems very territorial, and resides in a small area between/in a small gap in between 2 buildings and a moveable dumpster about 20" to the right of the gap. "He" (by those that have seen him) generally appears to be a full-body apparition and stays stationary until "his space" is disturbed. He tends to show is dislike by slamming the lid of the dumpster. 1 witness reports, "It was completely `pen (folded along the back of the dumpster). As we all turned our backs to the dumpster, the lid slammed closed with incredible force. There was absolutely no wind and no one in the area besides us. Whoever this spirit is, he does not take kindly to strangers."

The original Paso Robles Inn caught on fire many years ago, the date is unknown to me. Because there was no 911 then, one male resident stayed behind.

He ended up dying from a heart attack while still warning other customers.The new Inn was built using some of the original bricks. It is said that that in one room, a ghost calls 9-1-1. It was thought of as a prank at first but when the calls were traced, there were all traced back to this one room.

While guests of the Inn may enjoy modern amenities such as an outdoor Olympic sized pool and fitness center, the catacombs that run underneath the building heading in the direction of Mt. Rubidoux are now closed. As one current employee of the Inn remembers, an older gentleman was once given a room in one of the upper stories of the building, as there were no lower floor rooms available due to construction. The next morning, when the gentleman was asked if his accommodations were adequate, he replied,"All was fine, especially the woman singing beautifully in the next room." He was the only tenant on that floor. This place is haunted by the Millers. The Mission Inn Hotel was originally a 12 room cottage where the pool now sits. The existing structure of the hotel was begun in 1900 and completed in a pproximately 1947. Owned first by C.C.Miller and sold to his son, Frank, in 1900. Frank's sister, Alice,managed the hotel until her death in the late '40s.

Six Flags Over Georgia - Austell ,Georgia
Railroad - It is believed that the Six Flags Over Georgia Railroad is haunted. Apparitions have been seen walking across the Lickskillet Railroad Bridge. The apparitions are dressed like from the 1800's wear but since the park has only been there since 1967 the spirits are likely those from the train robbery which was put on each train ride back in Six Flags' early history. No noise comes from the apparitions, however. They just walk by as if going to wait for the next train to come by so they can have their hourly shoot-out with the conductor and the engineers.
Crystal Pistol Music Hall - According to legend, back in 1967 when Six Flags over Georgia first opened; an actor by the name of "Joe" was to star in the opening number for the very first show at the Crystal Pistol. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Joe was killed in an automobile accident on his way to work. Apparently, Joe is still waiting to perform that number. Several sightings have occurred in the Crystal Pistol of a man who stands at the edge of the balcony and watched performances that are currently being put on. Orbs have been found in photographs taken inside the music hall. After closing, many employees will hear a man singing backstage even though there is nobody back there. Employees have also found props missing from the stage and later find the props next to the Railroad tracks, which run beside the theater.
Amoco Gas Station in Parking Lot - The Amoco gas station in the parking lot at Six Flags over Georgia is haunted.

The Mystery of Gravity Hill: A Bonaire, Georgia Legend
In the quiet town of Bonaire, Georgia, just south of Warner Robins, lies a stretch of road that has baffled locals and travelers for generations. It’s known simply as Gravity Hill, and it’s one of those rare places where the laws of physics seem to stop working.
If you’re looking for a quick adventure or a spooky story to tell, here is everything you need to know about this Georgia mystery.
The Phenomenon
The experience at Gravity Hill is unsettlingly simple. On a specific stretch of Old Hawkinsville Road, drivers are encouraged to try a "physics-defying" experiment:
Stop your car at the bottom of the visible incline.
Shift your vehicle into Neutral.
Take your foot off the brake.
Despite what your eyes see—a clear uphill slope—your car will slowly but surely begin to roll backward, moving "up" the hill.
The Legend: Haunted Hands?
Like any good Southern urban legend, Gravity Hill comes with its own ghostly backstory.
The Ghostly Protection: The most popular lore tells of a tragic accident involving a stalled vehicle (some say a school bus) that occurred decades ago. The legend claims that the spirits of those lost in the accident remain on the road. When they see a car "stalled" on the hill, they reach out and push it to safety to prevent another tragedy.
To test this theory, some thrill-seekers sprinkle baby powder or flour on their bumpers before the roll. Many swear that once the car reaches the top, you can see small handprints left behind in the dust.
The Reality: An Optical Illusion
While the supernatural explanation makes for a great campfire tale, scientists and skeptics offer a more grounded perspective. Gravity Hill is what is known as a Magnetic Hill or an Optical Illusion.
Deceptive Landscapes: The surrounding horizon line, the tilt of the trees, and the way the road curves create a total loss of perspective.
Brain vs. Gravity: Even though your brain is convinced you are facing uphill, the road is actually at a slight downward incline. You are simply rolling downhill, but your eyes are being tricked by the environment.
Planning Your Visit
If you want to investigate for yourself, here are a few tips:
Location: The hill is located on Old Hawkinsville Road in Bonaire, GA.
Safety First: This is a public road! Always use your hazard lights, stay alert for actual traffic, and never attempt the trick if there are cars behind you.
The "Trick": Make sure you are at a dead stop before shifting to neutral to get the full effect of the "push."
Final Verdict
Is it a group of helpful spirits or just a very clever trick of the light? Whether you’re a believer in the paranormal or a fan of geophysics, Gravity Hill is a quintessential Georgia roadside attraction. It’s a fun, free, and slightly eerie way to spend a few minutes while exploring Houston County.
Have you visited Gravity Hill in Bonaire? Did you feel the "ghosts" pushing your car, or did your eyes see right through the illusion?

Canton - Hell Church - Cherokee County ,Georgia
Canton is home to one of the most notorious haunted places in the state: Hell Church. Hell Church is a small white church that dates back to the 1800s, but it gained its sinister reputation in the 1980s, when a boy was found mutilated in the nearby cemetery. Some say it was a cult killing, others say it was a satanic ritual. Whatever the case, the church was closed down and the newspaper clipping of the horrific event still exists.
But that's not the only reason why Hell Church is haunted. Many people have reported hearing faint piano music coming from inside the church late at night, even though the church is abandoned and locked. Some have also seen orbs, shadows, and apparitions in and around the church. The cemetery across the road is also said to be haunted by restless spirits, some of whom date back to the 18th century. There have been accounts of graves being freshly dug, as if someone or something was trying to get out.
Hell Church is not a place for the faint of heart. It is a place where evil lurks and where history has left its bloody mark. If you dare to visit this haunted location, be prepared for what you might encounter. You might hear Elleck's song, a slave who was hanged in Lawrenceville jail after killing his master who tried to rape his wife. He sang "Betsy, will you meet me?" until his last breath, and legend has it that if you sing his song, he will whisper back to you.

Old Lanier Lodge - Cumming ,Georgia
The old Lanier Lodge Hotel just outside downtown Cumming closed a few years back and nobody is exactly sure why. Neighbors of the complex say that they hear and see things at a constant. It is believed by many that someone was murdered in the west building on the second floor balcony hallway but wasn't publicly announced as to keep the citizens from becoming stricken with panic. When visited at night you can hear strange things as if people are coming in and out of rooms and closing doors very loudly. If you peer into the top windows of the east or west buildings you can sometimes see lights flicker but the power has been shut off for years.When walking by the pool there is sometimes a long splash or the chairs near by move around on their own as well as the unattended weeds all around the complex swishing to one side as if someone had walked through them.
Cogdell / "Cogdell Light" - Clinch ,Georgia
Most folks in southeast Georgia have traveled to this tiny settlement on the fringe of the Okefenokee swamp late at night to see the "Cogdell light." Young couples are especially drawn to drive into the woods on one of the deserted roads, turn off the car, and flash the headlights a few times to conjure up the "ghost." If their visit is timed just right, an eerie greenish yellow glow coming from out of nowhere may be seen making its way slowly toward them in the darkness. Some say it's the ghost of an unknown man whose head was severed in a train accident. He swings a lantern in a futile search for his missing part. Others say the "light" is the glow of the lantern swung by two lovers in their effort to stop the train late at night. Their parents forbid them to see each other, thus they planned this escape but were shot by her father who thought they were prowlers. The "light" is a ghostly reminder of their tragic love.

Independence High School - San Jose ,California
In the large theater there is a presence named "George". Legend has it he fell off one of the catwalks while working. Now his spirit haunts the theater. Lights switch on and off during presentations done for students, seats pull down and come up when no one is sitting next to you, and if alone in the theater practicing for a show, "George" loves to play lighting tricks on you. Fact is no one has ever died in that theatre. No Janitors are ever allowed to go up there nor do they have reason too.
The history however, behind George is he has been ever present since the has been built. No one really knows where he comes from or what the history of the land is or anything...though there is a basic story that does float around. So far our George has three figures...The first being there was the business like man figure that was standing up against the wall. The second time George appeared, it was to the actors - [techs never saw him that night] however actors kept complaining about a little boy running around backstage trying to catch his toy ball. The last sighting that has happened was about a year ago witnessed by 2 people who where alone in the building. It was of a very large man and he sat down and filled up the aisle of the house ...which is about 2 and 1/2 to 3 feet wide. A week later after seeing this one of the witnesses was in the lighting booth. and reports.
Sun Microsystems - Santa Clara ,California
About two weeks ago February 2/20/04, around 10:00 PM, there were three Phone technicians working in one of the buildings. Two men and a woman. They were running new phone lines into a phone closet. Their was a door next to the closet. The woman heard a noise & opened it. Their was a little girl with her arms opened (as to give her a hug) & the woman jumped back & fell onto the guys. When the guys looked back to see what the heck was going on, they saw the ghost as well. Immediately, they took off running. The Building's power was off & just the two guy's had flash lights. They ran so fast, they left the woman behind to fend for herself. She really freaked out trying to find an exit in the dark.
This was a very scary moment for all of them & when she finally
made it out, security was there to assist her. Security had heard from
the men once they arrived outside of a ghostly presence. When asked to finish their job by their employer, they "absolutely" refused to ever
go back!

Kmart #7625 - South Los Angeles ,California
There are reports of ghostly happenings in the stock rooms of this former Zody's. It is believed that a double murder/suicide took place somewhere in the upstairs stockroom. Apparently, a couple worked together for Zody's and the boyfriend caught his girlfriend in a compromising situation with another male employee. The enraged boyfriend located a box cutter and slashed the two to death. He then slashed his own wrists and carotid artery. After several reports from employees of unusual activity, Kmart headquarters in Michigan has admitted to hiring paranormal/paraphysical investigators to conduct investigations into the incident. The conclusion was that indeed the building was occupied by several spirits. The investigators concluded that four different spirits dwell throughout the building. The fourth has not been linked to any known incident that may have occurred and thus is unknown for its presence.
Kmart has remained quiet on the findings of this investigation and resources revealed that employees of this store are not advised of this activity. Prior to changing over to Kmart, Zody's employees reported seeing a man walking about in the stockroom. A woman is also seen running and sometimes screams are heard. In one case, an overnight employee sustained a 7 inch laceration while working in the stockroom. Zody's management insisted that the incident was just an accident caused by falling boxes that were stacked too high, but resources close to the victim tell another tale. A paring knife mysteriously came across the room and cut the employee across the chest. No one was seen in the area. The victim survived his wounds, but obviously resigned from the company. Sightings and sounds have been reported throughout the years, but no one else has been physically attacked since.

This isn't exactly what you would call a "proper" haunting, but when you take a tour of Mission Buenaventura and you enter the sanctuary and walk down toward the front alter, you get a distinct feeling of a spiritual presence far stronger than a normal "church-ey" feeling, you leave the sanctuary through a side door to the garden and that's where it hits you, near the olive press, the overwhelming feeling of someone approaching you
from the side, putting their arms around your shoulders, surrounding
you with warmth and hugging you lightly. You leave there feeling as if
you had visited with a close relative or someone who might have fed you
tea and cookies. A very strong, strange but comforting feeling!

King Richards Antique Center. Off Whittier Blvd. / Near Historic Whittier district. Uptown. - Whittier ,California
Large Building built in 1903. Once used as an old Citrus packinghouse in the early 1900's.Now housing a Antique Mall since 1979 with 4 floors inside. The former Owners and Staff as well as the dealers experienced strange happenings.Two the stories are that 2 citrus plant workers died tragically in the mall. One story is that a worker had locked himself accidentally in the old freezer room in the basement and passed away. Another is unknown how but a worker died from machinery falling onto him in the back of the bottom floor. Dark shadowy figures have been seen in closing time.The cleaning crew has quit after hours when a woman cleaner screamed from the bottom floor claiming she saw a black figure watching her.Electrical appliances have sounded off with no batteries inside.
Pictures have fallen feet away from where they were hung. Saucers and
objects for sell have rolled or flung off onto the floors. A empty space has got the most attention where stairs use to be, cold spots and sensitive customers have felt a presence there. Curiously young children who know nothing of the mall refuse sometimes to enter the basement where the freezer accident occurred. King Richards is history all around and the staff claims that they feel no threat from the strange occurrences. Sometimes you just feel like they want to be noticed or known. Oddly enough the happenings really become more active around October through the holiday season. Its hard to separate the occurrences said one worker. the Antique items that are brought in by dealers some time hold a past with them as well. But for the feeling of King Richards you see, to know the difference. No harm from these ghost's just a remembrance of Whittiers History.

He went to the kitchen and saw that no one was there and told her that they were the only two people there. As soon as he told her that, the hands let go.

Nettleton High School Gym/ Band room - Jonesboro ,Arkansas
The band keeps their instruments in a room under the bleachers. One day, three friends were putting their instruments up. It was too early in the morning for anyone to be out in the gym. It was supposed to be locked, and the janitor had finished cleaning. When they put up the instruments, they
heard a blood-curdling scream. They ran from the band room to the gym.
It was locked. Nothing could get in, unless it was something hard to
explain. They ran back to the band room. At first, the trio was
skeptical, because it was the day before the band Halloween party and
they thought that it was a prank. They went back to their instruments.
Then again, they heard the screaming. Except, it sounding like someone
was yelling for someone or something to quit. The three ran from the
band room, leaving the instruments behind. From that day you can still
hear the yelling if you are there quite early in the morning, standing
in the Nettleton High Band Room.
One night after a band party, a group of band members decided to run around in the gym. It was pretty late, and almost everyone had gone home. The group had split-up and decided to go up to the cheerleading room.There
they found that the room was extremely cold, and for some odd reason
they couldn't find the light switch. After leaving the cheerleading
room, they heard screams and ran down the stairs where the screams came
from. Now these weren't any ordinary screams. They were the kind of
screams that you would only hear if someone was being stabbed or hurt.
There was no explanation for the screams, because no one else was there
at the time. The whole group got to the bottom of the stairs to find
leaves falling from the ceiling of the gym, as if it were a tree. One
of the girls in the group saw the shadow of what looked like a football
player. They all tho ught that this was a joke, until they heard a door
slam and then saw another door swinging.

Locals rumor that there is an old white church house beyond the old High School building, in which several women were executed as witches by a
vigilante group, similar to the Bald Knobbers. The inside of the
building is inaccessible, due to a rotting floor. However, several
adventurous souls have confirmed the old-timer's stories, that from the
churchyard, a shadow of a rope can sometimes be seen. One such story
involves a couple of high school girls who journeyed out there to take
names and dates off the old tombstones for a research project. Not
aware of the stories, they thought they could hear cries for help, but
being near an open field, they could see there was no one around. They
decided to explore inside the building, and reported seeing a rope
hanging from the ceiling. However, one of the girl’s feet broke through
a floorboard. They were frightened by a sen se of danger beyond the
building's decaying condition and a colony of vicious yellow jackets.
Something threatening wanted them to go away. They jumped in the car,
leaving without the needed historical information they had come for.
They told their teacher later that "…there is something wrong with that
place. Something really bad and wrong." They were told later that the
area all around the old high school was a place rumored to be a
witch-hunt site.

The most frequent sighting is the ghost of a little blond haired boy on the
fourth floor. No one knows who he is, but he is about 5 or 6 and wears
white pajamas. He is usually spotted by patients who know nothing of
the ghost. He is usually playing or looking for a kitten. Sometimes
there is more than one child. They have been seen on the fourth floor,
the garden, and in one of the stairwells. Another ghost sighting
occurred in room 321. A very alert and oriented patient looked up from
reading to see the room in blood red. A man in a confederate uniform
was standing in the room. He said he didn’t do anything for a few
minutes. Then, when he called the nurse station, the man disappeared
and the room went back to normal. The fifth floor is supposed to host
the ghost of an elderly female. And the ICU is also supposed to have
had strange events happen.

🏫 Heroes and Hauntings: The Legends of Darby Junior High, Fort Smith
In the heart of Fort Smith, Sebastian County, stands a building that is much more than just a place of learning. William O. Darby Junior High School carries the name of a legendary American hero, but behind its brick walls lies a collection of ghost stories that have kept students and staff whispering for decades.
For those interested in the "Haunted Arkansas" circuit, Darby Junior High is a landmark that bridges the gap between WWII history and the paranormal.
🎖️ The Legacy of a Ranger: William O. Darby
Before getting into the haunts, we have to talk about the man himself. The school is named after Brigadier General William O. Darby, the founder of the modern U.S. Army Rangers. Born in Fort Smith, Darby led the famous "Darby’s Rangers" through daring missions in North Africa and Italy during WWII.
Though he fell in battle in 1945, his spirit of leadership is embedded in the school’s identity—and some believe his spirit, along with others, might still be walking the halls.
🕯️ The Ghostly "Hall Pass": Reported Hauntings
Darby Junior High is frequently cited as one of the most haunted schools in the state. Generations of students and nighttime custodial staff have reported phenomena that are hard to explain:
The Phantom Student: One of the most common tales involves a young girl seen wandering the hallways or sitting in the auditorium long after school hours. She is often described as wearing vintage clothing, leading many to believe she dates back to the early days of the building.
Disembodied Footsteps: Many teachers staying late to grade papers have reported the distinct sound of heavy boots marching down the corridors, even when the wing of the school is empty. Is it a phantom soldier, or perhaps a lingering echo of the school’s past?
The Auditorium Apparition: The school’s auditorium is a hotspot for activity. Cold spots, seats mysteriously slamming shut, and the feeling of being watched from the stage wings are frequent complaints from the drama department.
Electrical Anomalies: Lights flickering in patterns and equipment turning on by themselves in the science wing have led many to suspect that the spirits here like to tinker with the modern world.
🏛️ Why is it Haunted?
Like many historic buildings in Fort Smith—a city with a violent frontier past and deep ties to the Trail of Tears and the Civil War—the land itself carries a lot of "energy." While there isn't one specific tragedy tied to the school building, paranormal enthusiasts believe the site acts as a psychic sponge for the history of the Sebastian County area.
📍 Visitor Note
Because Darby is a functioning public school, it isn’t open for ghost hunting tours during the day, and trespassing is strictly forbidden. However, the building’s exterior is a beautiful example of mid-century school architecture, and you can feel the heavy atmosphere just by driving past on a quiet evening.
If you want to honor the school's namesake, you can also visit the General Darby Statue nearby at Cisterna Park to learn more about the man behind the name.
🏚️ Final Thoughts
William O. Darby Junior High is a rare site where the "Ranger" spirit meets the "Restless" spirit. It stands as a reminder that history doesn't just stay in the textbooks—sometimes, it walks the halls right beside you.

Blog Master's Note: Whether you're a fan of military history or a seeker of the supernatural, Fort Smith never disappoints. Just remember to keep your hall pass ready!

of the ambulance. Her face and hands were pressed against the window as

Anniston High School Girl's Locker Room - Anniston ,Alabama
The legend of Anniston High School's locker room is known widely throughout the school. The legend is told to all the new coming female freshmen that go to their lockers to change clothes for P.E. They are told by the upper classmen to give the freshmen a little scare by warning them of a vengeful ghost. The legend varies in detail from person to person but the main facts of the story are almost always the same… A girl is late getting changed and leaves a precious item behind. She decides to go back to get it while sending her friend to hold the bus for her. A man then tries to rape and kill her in the locker room but he ends up dead and the body never gets recovered. The obvious conclusion is never go into the girl's locker room by yourself. Always go in with one of your friends and never leave anyone alone in there. The true incident that started this legend occurred in 2001. This is what happened: There was this girl (name is unknown) who always changed for P.E. She was usually the first to change for P.E. and also the first to leave P.E. and change back. One day while coming in from playing outside, she was late in changing. It was the last period of the day and she was hurrying so that she wouldn't miss her bus. Her best friend was also late and they only had two minutes to change, instead of their normal five minutes.
While they were hurrying to change, other girls who had already changed left to wait in the gym for the bell that signaled the end of the day to ring. Her friend was faster at putting on her school clothes but her friend stayed to wait with her in the locker room. They rode the same bus home, so they both knew that it was almost always one of the first buses to be there and didn't want to get left behind. So the girl finally finished putting on her clothes and they both walked out to sit with the rest of the students in the gym to wait for the bell. As the bell rang, the girl just remembered that she left her purse in her locker. She was concerned about leaving it because it contained all of her money. The girl's best friend offered to go back with her to get it, but the girl insisted that her friend should get on the bus and tell the bus driver to hold it for her until she got on. So the girl ran down the steps and entered the locker room to get her purse and her friend ran out to get on the bus. The friend relayed the message to the bus driver. As the girl got her purse and began to close her locker, she heard the door creak and thought someone had come in. Thinking it was her coach, she called her name and yelled, "Coach! Coach! It's me, I left my purse. Please don't lock the door just yet." She got no answer. She then heard footsteps that seemed to draw closer to her. She then began to grow scared. Suddenly, she heard breathing that was so loud she was sure the person w as right behind her. She panicked and dropped her purse. She ran the other way around the lockers toward the doors, but was yanked to the back of the lockers as she turned the corner. She kicked and screamed as the hands of a big strong man tore off her shirt and began to rip off the rest of her clothes. He began to strangle her and scream at her to shut up. She continued to fight back and tried to scream, but her throat closed and she couldn't scream anymore. She still didn't give up. In her last attempt, she pulled down a set of lockers on top of him. He laid there motionless and breathless... he was dead. In a fright, she ran out of the locker rooms to the bus stop. But she had taken too long and despite her friend’s desperate attempt to hold the bus, she had been left alone. She was frightened by what had happened and called her mom to come and get her. After telling the shocking story to her mother with great trouble of reliving the incident, they called the polic e. But when they inspected the scene, they only found the pulled down lockers, the girl's purse and a pool of blood. The body was nowhere to be found. The girl was more shocked then ever. She was sure the man was dead and the amount of blood on the floor indicated that it was impossible for him to still be alive. Her fear was just too great to go back to where she had been raped and strangled, so they moved and were never heard from again. The man was never found, but many say that his ghost still lurks in the locker rooms waiting for an unsuspecting girl that's by herself to take his revenge. Many didn't take this seriously until a similar incident occurred when a girl in the band who was to play at a football game was left by herself to get dressed. The band left her in the locker room and played all night without noticing she was gone. After the game had ended, she was sitting in the parking lot crying. She wouldn't say what had happened, but appeared to have been strangled and her clothes were ripped and covered in blood. She then moved away without telling anyone of her dreadful story. Many girls have been known to hear footsteps drawing closer when no one's there, lockers close and shut, and the door creaks open as if to let in an unwanted stranger when no one is there. You might also feel a cold chill come over you and hear loud breathing coming from someone right behind you, but always cease when you turn around.

Karlsteine / Charlemagne's Stones - Osnabrueck-Haste ,Germany
Ancient pagan place of worship. Several large tumuli and menhirs (standing stones). When Emperor Charlemagne brought the Christian faith to this part of Germany he single-handedly smote and destroyed one of the biggest altar stones,thus proving the supremacy of Christ over the "old gods". The place has remained a spot of witchcraft activity and strange rituals, especially around winter solstice and summer equinox. Several sightings of strange orbs, disembodied howls, and stains on the stones. There are reports of the "wild hunt" going by around midnight. This ghostly army rides the night sky, led by the spirit of Charlemagne himself. Legend says that anybody accidentally witnessing them rush by should cover his eyes and
step aside in a gesture of humility. Nasty things are said to have
happened to those who did not make way or tried to sneak a look.

She has a sad face. The Nazi orders the nurse to do something which is
spoken in German so the soldiers did not know what was said and the
nurse then chokes the us soldier who then wakes out of the dream. These
two soldiers never met before they confessed their story and swear the
truth behind the stories. Other rumors are of an anti-abortionist woman
who carries around a fetus in the hallway.
