5th Ave

: "Between Roosevelt and Fillmore - A nine year-old girl was killed tragically on August 6,1995, by a hit and run driver. The driver was never located, or brought to justice. It is said that this little girl made herself known to some people for some time after her death. Even now, it is believed that people can still feel a presence in certain areas of Phoenix. One such area is where she was killed. Another area is in the neighborhood of 17th Ave. and Grant. At the time of her death, a man who was sleeping alone in the bedroom, had a box fall on him, awakening him. His wife, who was in the kitchen preparing the evening meal, had a vision of the little girl smiling at her, and saying how much she loved them both. Another sighting of this little girl happened near 19th Ave. and Camelback. A mother was walking a little girl, unknown to the older sister and her friend who were followin g behind them. The little girl kept turning to look at the two behind her, smiling and waving. This little girl''s facial features, hair and hair color appeared to be exactly the same as the deceased little girl. Also, at the time of the girl''s death, when the ambulance, fire truck, and police cars were at the scene, the girl''s body was placed in the ambulance. As the ambulance was pulling away, it was reported later that others saw her up against the windows in the back of the ambulance. Her face and hands were pressed against the window as the paramedics were trying to save her. All of this was reported to the mother, ranging from a couple of days to six months later. The mother would often awaken, believing she had just been talking to the girl, but it was only in her dreams."

19th Avenue and Northern

: "Before the construction of the grocery and shopping center on the northeast corner, there stood several older buildings which were eventually torn down. These structures stood dark and vacant for many years, collecting numerous rumors of spooky apparitions and ghostly dwellings. Teenagers were known to scare themselves by entering late at night through a portion of open fencing, and investigate the scene by flashlight. Many heard whimpering sounds and crying down the long dark corridors, and most were too afraid to venture deep into the basement, where stories of torture and murder ran rampant. By the light of the moon, some teens say they saw a set of three gravestones(one large in the middle and two small on either side) that were not there in the light of the following day."

Loud noises are heard, and tools will fall off the walls without warning. Other employees have noticed this as well."

Some of the teens heard a scream and thought nothing of it. The next day, one of the teenagers was missing, and later found near the grave of his great uncle.

She saw it three nights in a row. She told her dad one night, and he looked out the window by her bed, to the tree house directly where she said it was standing, and did not see a thing. On the fourth night there was no such person in the tree house, as if it had never been there at all. The same child awoke at night, looked out her window, and saw a man in a long, black coat and a hat, standing on her patio. She closed her eyes for no more than a second, and when she opened them, the man was gone. She has also seen a woman looking at her, and smiling at her from her c loset."
