Ghost Provokers

Ghost Provokers is a hilarious webseries we just discovered last week.  It's currently one episode in, and working on the second right now.  It's great, especially if you go ghost hunting, have an interest in it, or watch the TV shows. And honestly, some of the things they do remind me of some of the things we do, especially in the promo for Episode Two.  Not to mention, Scott Butterfield looks like Bruce Campbell.  You can't get any better than that!  If you watch Ghost Adventures or Ghost Hunters, check it out.

Urban Exploration Resource

This website is really, really interesting.  It's actually how we found out about Collings Castle.  Not only does it have a database with explorable locations around the globe, but it also hosts a forum filled with everything you need to know about Urban Exploration.  Anyone can join the forums, but few get full member status, which allows you to post to the database.  But, you can still post all your pictures and discoveries on the forum.  And even if your location might not have many locations (or none at all) it still gives hints on how to find locations on your own.  Another UE website worth visiting is Infiltration.

Wesley Treat's Roadside Resort

Wesley Treat has officially given me the travel bug.  Namely, the roadtrip bug.  He has written Weird Texas and Weird Arizona.  His next book, Weird Oklahoma, is supposed to come out next year (or so I heard).  I previously posted a link to his video for Tucker's Cemetery, which was part of his research for Weird Oklahoma.  And I also posted his other site, Junk Shop Photos.  He's a funny guy, and he has helped me to appreciate some things in Oklahoma more.  His site has pictures from all the places he's been researching his books, and also has a regularly updated blog.  While not exactly ghost related (like Urban Explorers), its about travel; and most importantly, local travel.

Well, that's it for this time.  Hope you enjoy the links!

Turner Falls and Collings Castle

Note:  This blog is also very long because it is very pic heavy!


This weekend, we decided to take a trip to Davis, OK and visit Turner Falls.  The Collings Castle is there, and we had heard rumors of it being haunted.  This page has a picture on it that is said to have a ghost in it.  So, we decided to go and look ourselves.

Before getting to Turner Falls, we decided to go into the town of Davis and get something to eat.  We settled on Deb's Burgerland.

The food was good, and the prices were fairly low.  Not to mention, we believe Deb herself was our waitress, and she was very nice.  Afterward, we made the drive into Turner Falls and got a little... lost.  We went too far into the park, and quickly realized that the castle was much closer to the entrance than we thought.

Anyways, we finally found the area for the castle, so we parked and got ready for the day.  We knew there would no only be castle exploring, but also hiking.

Gary, Matt, Tiffany and Danielle, all getting shoes and backpacks to walk... and hike... and CLIMB stairs.

First Ever Post

This post is to introduce OPS and who we are. So, I provided pictures! In the group shot, you have Matt, Tiffany, Danielle, Gary and Steven. Brandon isn't in this picture, so I included the only "good" shot I have of him from an investigation. So far, we've investigated three cemeteries in our area - Weavers Chapel Cemetery, Parks Cemetery and Tuckers Cemetery. Tuckers Cemetery is known in our area for being haunted, but has unfortunately given us nothing. I think it's mostly a way for high school boys to impress girls. We've had the most activity at Parks Cemetery. Hopefully we'll be able to show more evidence as the blog goes on.
