Description
Some are true. Some are sent in by listeners. Some are creepypasta (which might be true.)Good evening, it's Spooky Boo coming to you from the lighthouse in Sandcastle, California. Tonight I have for you spooky, creepy ghost stories about barns. Have you ever seen a ghost in a barn? I bet the old barn owls have tales to tell about haunted barns and ghosts that roam the stalls. Here in Sandcastle we have many ghosts in barns from old farmers, workers, and even victims from big bullies and crimes. Those tales will soon be told but for tonight, I will tell you some old barn stories from urban legends and the internet.I'd like to thank the listeners and the Patreon members for their support including madjoe, P.A.

The Seventh BarnAn urban legend sent anonymously to spookyboo@scarystorytime.comThere was a wealthy farmer who owned quite a bit of land in Ohio. Every time his wife had a baby, he would build a new barn and name the barn after the new baby. At one point, 6 babies had been born and 6 barns built. During childbirth of the 7th baby, his wife and the baby died in childbirth leaving the farmer very depressed with one last barn to fill. He was so filled with grief that his farm went unattended and lost money.The rumor is that one night, in the depths of his madness and despair, the farmer took grabbed an axe and led his children out to the barns where he murdered them, one by one in each of the barns named after them. He buried each body in the six barns that had been named after them. Then, the farmer went to the 7th barn where he hung himself.As time went on, all of the barns were eventually torn down and most of the land was sold off all except for the 7th barn. Nobody wanted to buy the land because of what had happened on the tainted land. It soon fell into disrepair as it was abandoned with no upkeep.We've heard that if you go to that barn at night you can see the ghost of the farmer hanging from the rafters, his body swinging back and forth in the wind, dwelling on his terrible crime for all eternity.No one was ever really sure where the seventh barn was located, although it was definitely in Ohio. Some said it was the Cranz farm in Cuyahoga Valley and others said it was at Top O’ The World in Northampton.In 1997, a local Ohio teacher claimed that, after a lot of research, he had finally managed to track down the actual location of the infamous 7th Barn. He said that none of the barns had ever actually been torn down. The land had just been divided up and sold off and the barns had simply been incorporated into neighboring farms. According to the teacher, he was able to pinpoint the correct location because all of the barns on neighboring properties had nameplates above their doors with the names of children engraved on them.The teacher and his son set out at night to visit the barn, bringing a video camera with them, in the hopes of capturing some paranormal activity.The next morning, the teacher’s wife reported her husband and son missing. Police found their abandoned car by the roadside. While searching the area, they entered a barn in a nearby field and found the dead bodies of the teacher and his son hanging from the rafters.The Old ScarecrowSent anonymously to spookyboo@scarystorytime.comMy friend Joe and I used to live next door to each other on our family farms back in Wisconsin. When I say next door, I really mean about a mile to two miles apart. It didn't matter how far apart our houses were because the school bus would drop us off at either house because our parents said it was ok. His place was more of a cow dairy farm. We didn't have any cows,
