Do You Believe In Ghosts? Here Is A Ghostly Tale by Blueboy

I have often wondered whether ghosts really exist, what do you think, do you believe they do? What we need is a blog all about ghosts where people can post their ghostly stories and opinions. The problem I suppose would be that you would get people just making up stories for a laugh, yes very funny I know. In this article, I am going to write about my opinions on this subject as well as telling the tale of a ghost which a friend of mine claims he saw. I have to say that this friend is quite trustworthy and not one who is known for telling fibs, but you can never be sure.

Now people may think that I am a bit mad or even sad as I have read many books on the subject of ghosts. It is an area that really fascinates me and I just wish that there was some way of proving that they do actually exist as I believe they do. I think from all of these studies, that a ghost is created when a person has died before their time as it were. I believe that when we are born there is like some sort of invisible stamp put on our head, this stamp has the date when we are going to die in the future. If a person then dies before this date they are then not ready to rest in peace and therefore stay around in the form of a ghost until that day arrives. Some like being a ghost so much that they decide to stay for much longer periods than even this date.

People may have died before their time due to some form of tragedy such as a car crash or even after being murdered.

The Ghost Story

This is a ghost story a friend told me about a year ago. When he was about ten years of age, on one Saturday afternoon, he was in a local park with three friends. They were all messing about as young boys tend to do when they noticed a girl who was about twelve years of age, who was picking flowers. For whatever reason they decided to run in quite a provocative way towards her, shouting at the same time, this would be in an attempt to scare her. Why they wanted to do this is not really that clear to me but I was not telling the tale and did not want to stop my friend to ask, as he was in some kind of flow.

The girl heard all of this commotion and noise but did not seem scared. She merely turned, looked and smiled at the oncoming boys before just disappearing into seemingly thin air. The boys were soon stopped in their tracks in amazement at what they had just witnessed. They all had to check with each other that what they had just seen actually did happen. They tried to find the girl but never saw her again.

Years later when my friend was about twenty-three years of age, he started to do some research about the park etc. He found that a girl of twelve had been murdered there forty years ago, weird!

I have many more ghostly tales but will not bore you with any more at this stage.

The Haunted Shed by A Kasady

This was an interesting little investigation. We received a call from a family from the north of England claiming that there was a spirit haunting their garden shed! Far be it for the team to ignore the pleas of a distressed family myself and the teams spiritualist medium Annabel Keogh jumped into a car and made our way to this supposed shed of terror!

The family claim that they often find things of theirs missing from the shed only to turn up a few days later in a different place to where it was originally stored. They also say that they have woken in the night to hear banging coming from the shed AND awoke to find the light going switching on and off. The final straw came when their 6-year-old daughter claimed to have seen an old man looking out of the shed window at her while she was playing in the garden. The family could take no more and called us.

I decided that as the investigation was in such a small location that it was only Annabel and myself that were needed. We turned up at the house questioned the family about any other happenings that may have occurred in other parts of the house but there were none. All the paranormal phenomena seemed to be directed straight at the shed.

This was something I had never come across before in the previous three years of the team’s existence so I was genuinely excited by what we might find during this ‘low key’ investigation.

I only brought the bear minimum of equipment with me. I decided that there would be no point in bringing along the temperature reader as this was going to be a cold night of November and due to there being electrical wiring in the shed the EMF reader would be rendered useless.

I set up a small video camera just outside the shed and hand another handheld on me. Annabel had the digital camera and was taking the stills photographs. Aside from a couple of small orbs nothing was caught on the stills to my disappointment.

Annabel began her reading and as soon as she began I thought I heard what sounded like a small ‘thump’ coming from the corner of the shed. I placed a Dictaphone in that corner should we pick any more sounds emanating from that area.

Annabel began asking the spirit for his name and why he was in this shed and hadn’t moved on. The spirit told Annabel that his name was Albert and he was the owner of the house before this family had moved in. He had suffered a stroke and died whilst working in his shed. He also Annabel that the shed was where he would spend most of his time pottering away; his shed was his pride and joy and when he passed on he decided that’s where he wanted to stay.

As I stood there taking down all the information that Annabel was coming out with I felt what could only be described as a small gust of air blowing across my face. Now this could be attributed to the cold winds that were blowing outside if it hadn’t been for Annabel telling me that Alb had just brushed past me before I had a chance to mention anything.

It seemed Albert was sorry if he had scared the family at all but he was happy being in his shed and always liked to see the family having fun in the garden. He asked Annabel to see if it was okay if he could stay in the shed and promised he would try and not scare the family anymore.

Whilst I was recording Annabel with the handheld I picked up a small light anomaly that seemed to float around her head and then disappear. I called out to Albert to try and do that again and amazingly he did! I was pleased by this as it had all been recorded on camera. We asked him to move to some of the tools in the shed for us but alas nothing seemed to happen. We spent a few more hours around the shed apart from a few more orbs nothing. There also seemed to be nothing we managed to pick up on the Dictaphone aside from our own voices.

I informed the family of our findings and also told them about Albert’s request. They seemed happy to know what was exactly going on and agreed that as long as Albert was happy where he was and that he was no danger then they were more than happy to let Albert stay.

All in all not the most active of locations but certainly one of the more cheerful stories that I have been able to write about.

Hungry Ghosts by Moriah Marston

The Tibetans and shamans call them the Hungry Ghosts. We all know them quite well–too well! They are the voices of undoing–the “sirens” from Odysseus’ journey who would seduce us off course on our journey homeward. They are the demons who surface when we suddenly awaken in the middle of the night filled with doubts and fears. They are the nagging worries like flies buzzing around our mental bodies looking for sticky places to land. They are powerful and convincing, tempting us into believing that we can’t grow, heal, transform, change, or awaken. They feed off our negativity like turkey vultures feeding off dead carcasses. They would devour all of our positive energy if given half a chance. They are on the job twenty-four hours a day, always on the alert for times of vulnerability that create openings in our auric body like invitations to “set up shop,” distributing fearful messages. They are like gnats or black flies so small that even the finest screen mesh can’t filter them out of our energetic reality.

We often don’t realize we have been bitten by them until the damage is already done. When we awake in the morning depressed and discouraged–thinking that our life is a joke–they have left their mark, just as if we were covered with minute bee stings leaving us swollen, toxic and hurting. Perhaps Source created the nasty bites of insects to mirror the energetic impact of the hungry ghosts on our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.

Some of us try to pretend they are not there. The oblivious innocents merrily go through the woods of life with no bug spray, assuming they are invulnerable to the swarms of energies hungry to dine on the human spirit–devouring its light as quickly as possible. These people are quickly brought to their knees, undone in their optimism. Here comes the spiritual crisis: “What kind of God would create a reality like this? Surely this God does not love us.” The hungry ghosts love this kind of thinking. For them it is food for a week as they whisper to us that we can’t possibly know our divinity. ‘The hungry ghosts are particularly activated when we make a conscious commitment to transform or heal an aspect of our souls, especially if our intentions are heightened through ritual. Bringing out the heavy artillery, they are ready to battle our determination to liberate ourselves. Working with the magnetism between the positive and negative poles is required to master duality.

Gathering the positive force needed for self-healing simultaneously activates the opposite pole. This activation sounds an alarm in our energy body as the ghosts close in, ready for the kill. They would destroy our inspiration: “How ridiculous to think that life could be so good. Who do you think you are to dare to consider enlightenment? Remember the pain that you have suffered? Don’t think that it could possibly stop because you are doing some stupid ritual or saying some sniveling prayer. Get real! This is all there is. If you try to make it better it will just get worse–better to leave well enough alone. Let your fears make your decisions.”

Intentions to grow heighten vulnerability as we momentarily allow our vision to reflect our true potential, invoking the challenge to let go of our familiar self-limiting parameters. Releasing the known pushes us to the edge of the cliff, teetering on the brink of our faith, daring to believe for one moment that more could be possible. Into this delicate space the hungry ghosts swarm, trying to distract us as they bite at our convictions and visions. If they succeed, we are thrown off balance and fall into the abyss of our illusions. They win, we lose.

‘The Tibetan smiles at my melodrama around the “Forces of Undoing.” He challenges me to open to the possibility that the hungry ghosts might have a divine mission. At first all that I can think of is that their only purpose is to make us miserable. Djwhal Khul laughs, reminding me about the two different kinds of faith. The first springs from life filled with joy and opportunity. It is easy to have faith when all is well. The challenge is to hold steady with one’s faith when life starts throwing major obstacles in our path. The second faith is hard earned through inner strength and persistence. If we can sustain faith when our external reality seems to make a mockery of our ideals, then we are truly rooted in our faith.

That’s where the hungry ghosts come in–to tempt, torment, ridicule, and undermine our faith. If we can survive their attacks and remain centered and aligned, we are truly strong in our spiritual body. This spiritual conviction makes it possible for us to allow the physical, emotional and mental bodies to go through whatever intensity is integral to the transformational process.

Ironically, the hungry ghosts are really spiritual coaches in disguise. Just like strict drill sergeants in boot camp, their job is to toughen us up, whether we like it or not. All of our fluff is stripped from us. Although believing we never signed up for this tyranny, deep in our souls we can sense the rightness of the overall process. We cannot possibly bushwhack the cutting edge of our magnitude if our core star (our soul’s center) is not strong enough. Still breathing after an onslaught from the hungry ghosts indicates we are all ready for action–the action that sweeps us through the gateway into the fifth dimension. So, let us welcome these messengers of the negative pole as they create the very resistance that propels us into our divine destiny.

As a psychologist I am keenly aware of the alchemical cycle of transformation. Initially when metal is alchemized into gold there is the blackening stage. Emotionally and spiritually the blackening phase demands a journey to the underworld resulting in a dismemberment process. This is not a physical, but a psychic dismemberment. We leave the world of order, certainty and knowing, and fall into the vortex of chaos, not-knowing and fragmentation. This is a necessary part of the alchemical process of breaking down old forms. At this point the hungry ghosts lunge forward, eager to pick apart our certainties as they introduce doubt, disturbance, fear, bewilderment and judgment.

While intellectually I understand all of this, when the hungry ghosts come after me, I’ll run faster than anyone to get away from them. Of course, they always catch me, shrieking in delight at my dismay. As they pull me apart I wail at my predicament, losing all sight of my overall process. Rarely, when particularly centered, I manage to faintly remember that this is a very necessary part of the process. However, it is hard to be comforted by that thought when the experience becomes painful and discouraging. Sometimes I try to block out the process until it is over, struggling to invoke “psychic anesthesia.” But that doesn’t work. We can’t sleep through the hungry ghosts. They are just too noisy. They demand interaction. Attempting to push them away just makes them stronger. Surrender is the answer–surrender with awareness.

Oh how mature we have to be to hold this perspective, allowing ourselves to be momentarily devoured by our karmic past. In the long run it’s easier to be mature than to throw a temper tantrum which only wastes the precious energy needed to survive the alchemical fire. Memories of past skirmishes with these ghostly devils help me to “hang on” during this process. I have survived and flourished in spite of their history of relentlessness. In my twenties I could not name this process, feeling at the mercy of these potent adversaries. Bringing me to my knees, I would cry, rage and wonder whether life was worth living, thinking that it would always be this bad. I believed every lie the ghosts told me. Caught in a place of inadequacy and failure, I would let them win–postponing” my transformation. However, even in those dark nights, the subtle voice of guidance emerged telling me that eventually I would have the strength to go forward, allowing my true self to flourish.

Over time I have learned to recognize the usual insults and criticisms of my personal hungry ghosts. They always say the same thing. This allows me some measure of perspective to keep going. Every time I dare to be more than I have been, the hungry ghosts will immediately spring forth, undermining my positive outlook. I try to remember to breathe. They have never been able to completely take away my breath. Physical movement helps. A moving target is harder for them to attach to–tai chi, chi gong, yoga, walks–whatever it takes to keep the energy circulating. The more the energy moves, the quicker this process is completed.

‘It helps to remember that birth resides within death, and so too does gold reside within the blackening. Patience is essential. Eventually the clouds part and the sun shines again. Hungry ghosts don’t like the sunshine, especially when it radiates out from the soul. I now trust that my natural light will burn away the veils the “ghosts” tell me are real. So, I surrender, ego unwilling, to this spectacular process reminding myself that transformation is possible for all beings–no, not possible–probable. The gold within always emerges victorious.”

Top 3 Horror Foreign Films by Ivan Cuxeva Jr

This particular movie genre is often confused and misrepresented. While it has many fans across the world, several films which fall in different categories are placed under the “horror” label and they are accepted by the general public. Sites which should provide a good definition of horror, such as the site with the same domain name, features movies such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” in such genre which is absolutely erroneous. Movies such as Pans’s Labyrinth fall within the “Fantasie/Sci-Fi” genre which has nothing to do with horror.

To have a better idea of what this particular genre involves we can define horror films such as: “films that are designed to elicit fright, fear, terror, or horror from viewers. In horror film plots, evil forces, events, or characters, sometimes of supernatural origin, intrude into the everyday world.”

Keeping this definition in mind, the best horror movies tend to leave a certain impression in the viewer. Movies such as “Hostel” or “Saw”, while they are very cool in their own “gory way” fail to deliver the after effects of a good horror movie, for instance, after watching any of the previously mentioned films, an average horror movie fan would go to bed like nothing ever happened, however, if the same viewer were to see a good foreign horror movie such as “The Ring – AKA Ringu” or “Dark Water”, right at the time to turn off the lights and go to bed, an overwhelming feeling of fear takes over; and that’s exactly the way we know that the movie we have seen is a great “horror” movie.

Films which show a great deal of killing are “disturbing” but we all know that if a killer were to attack any of us we’d have a way to fight back, after all, regardless of how twisted a killer might be, he/she is still human. On the other hand, films which portray evil spirits, ghosts, apparitions and demons are a whole different story; what is really frightening to us humans is the fact that if we were in the actor’s shoes we’d realize that “There is absolutely NO way to fight back against these forces”, and relying on a sacred object is not as reassuring as having a weapon which we know is going to injure or vanish whoever or whatever is after us, of course this is all figurative speech, we are just illustrating a point!

Asian horror movies tend to deliver the right blow as far as horror movies go. Since not much is invested in “special effects” they focus their efforts towards ‘the story’ which is way more effective and leaves a stronger impression. All of the movies mentioned below were so good that each had an english remake, which had visual effects improvements in the remake but as many hardcore-horror movie fans can tell, the story might have been ruined which fails to deliver the horrifying effects (in the viewers) compared to the original. Good examples of such movies are:

Ringu: This is also known as “The Ring”. The story revolves around a girl’s death story and the way she was apparently killed by her own parents, then thrown into the depths of a well where she now lives, and escapes into the real world through a cursed video tape in order to take revenge and kill people.

Dark Water (Honogurai mizu no soko kara): This is a particularly exceptional Japanese production which shows bone chilling scenes of a little girl who all she ever wanted was to have a mother, even after death! The title describes part of how she died and the element she used to haunt people.

Ju-On: The title translates to english as “The Curse of the Grudge”. This particular movie has no happy ending compared to American movies where the vengeful spirit is exorcised at the end. The story revolves around a house where a mother and a child were murdered by the father, and the way that these spirits come back to hunt whoever who lies within the walls of this residence.

Very few american movies have taken the horror movie making factors into their own productions. The very best example we have of a good english horror movie is “Silent Hill” which was derived from a video game but had a terrific story and amazingly frightening special effects. Besides such rare movies, asian films know how to deliver bone chilling productions relying mostly on good story telling rather than gory scenes and visual effects. Other Asian movie recommendations are: A tale of two sisters, Phone, Premonition, Uzumaki, The Cure.

Ghost Sightings at the Old Sheep’s Inn by Arron Kasady

If the research about this old building, situated on the outskirts of London, was to be believed then not all was well with this public house.

Built in the late 18th century, the inn has remained a public house/B&B since it was first built.  Research tells us that it’s cellar, which is split into many rooms, was used as a holding area for prisoners when they were being brought down to the courthouses in London.

Katherine decided that we should carry out an investigation in this building when she found out that a lot of the prisoners who were held in the cellars never seemed to leave alive.  The current owners of the inn told Katherine of some of the paranormal activity that kept them awake at night.

Glasses being thrown off tables, people seeing shadows, tables and chairs being moved in the night, but the thing that interested the team the most, ghostly screams being heard from down in the cellar.  The workers at the inn refuse to go down there alone AND often don’t go down there at all in the evenings.

The team turned up and began our initial investigations into the workings of the building.  We placed a glass in the middle of table in the bar area and around it laid some flour.  Hopefully when we returned later on in the evening the glass would have been moved.  We also placed some motion detectors in the hallway going from the bar to the cellar area to catch anything that may move through beams.

We brought Annabel in to give us her initial opinions of the building.  Walking into the bar area first Annabel told us of the ghost energy of the past 300 years that still resided in the building.  She told us of people and noises, the smell of ale and talking and laughing.

Annabel found it very hard to concentrate on any one given thing, as she was beginning to tell us so before she stopped.  Annabel asked to leave for a few minutes for some fresh air.  This is something we had never come across before on our ghost hunts, and were quite shocked by this.

After a ten minute break Annabel came back in and told us that while she had been talking about the ghost energies still in the building, when a spirit had whispered in her ear proclaiming that “Those that will be judged will be done so here.”

She then saw a visual image of a man being tied up to a pole in the basement and whipped to death.  So shocking was the image that Annabel had needed to take five minutes out just to clear her head.

Now that she was back in however the ghostly images had returned.  She informed us that the voice she was hearing was from one of the old patrons at the inn.  “Robert”.  She told us that when criminals were bought here and held overnight some of the soldiers escorting the prisoners paid Robert to do away with the men so they could lay claim to the prisoners dying on the way down to London.  The soldier’s get paid and they could return home sooner than expected

Annabel claimed that Robert took great delight in beating the prisoners to death and doing away with the bodies.  Annabel asked if we could now go down to the cellar as she wanted to confront this evil man and hopefully cleanse the inn of his ghostly influence.

We made our way down to the cellar, when Katherine told us that the temperature had dropped significantly since moving downstairs.  Annabel claimed that Robert was angry we were in his domain and was going to make that quite clear to us as the night went on.

As we moved down deeper into the cellar, I was struck on the back of the head by what felt like a large hand.  As I was telling people of my experience one of the other members of the team also shouted out in pain, saying he had been struck on the back of the head.

Annabel told us that Robert is going to make his spirit presence known, and we should all be extra careful.  She went on to tell us that she could feel that a lot of men were murdered down in the cellar.  More than thirty bodies had been carried out and buried in the surrounding areas.  It was shortly after saying this that a loud bang was heard coming from one of the rooms.  On investigating the noise, we found one of the beer barrels had been pushed over.

It was at this point I decided to call out to the ghost, and nervously I asked him to show himself to the ghosthunting group.  I only just managed to utter these words, when we heard a scream coming from one of the rooms further down in the cellar.  What happened soon after we got there, was something I won’t soon forget.

On entering the room, Annabel told us that this was the place that Robert carried out the deeds.  I slowly entered the room with another member of my team to see what could have made the scream, and although the room was empty, we heard a shuffle coming from deeper inside.  It was as we entered further, that we heard Katherine shout for help.  We turned to find Annabel lying on the ground in tears.  We tried to lift her up but she was in some sort of trance.  I declared that this would have to be the end of the evening, as we needed to get Annabel upstairs and away from the inn.

It was as we were lifting her up and carrying her upstairs, that we heard another scream come from the room that we had just been in.  As she heard this, Annabel began to wail that she had to cleanse the building of lingering ghost spirits.  I refused and told her the first thing we needed to do was get her upstairs and outside.

When we finally got Annabel outside, I went back into the building and had a look at the glass which we had left on the table.  Sadly nothing had been moved, and nothing had set off the motion detectors.  I picked the stuff up and got outside with the rest of the team.

I don’t know what happened that night.  But I do know that soon after Annabel went back without us knowing, and cleansed the building of ghost spirits.  She still won’t tell us what she saw that made her cry that night.  It’s something that she never wants to revisit.

One thing, I am glad I’ll never have to visit that place again.

Ghosts, Spirits & Lost Souls by Mystic Twins

Many people have told us that they sometimes wake up at night and see, what appears to be, spirits in their bedroom.

There are several possible explanations for this experience.

The spirits may be lost souls who, after their physical bodies died, had not yet gone to “the Light.” Perhaps the deaths occurred nearby, or they simply follow some people home. This is more likely if you work in a hospital, live near a cemetery, or have recently visited either.

If this was the case, audibly telling them to “go to the Light” will help direct them to a better place as will asking your guides of the Light to help with the process.

They may have been souls (yours included) who are back from the future to see how things are progressing with you. We don’t have a lot of explanation for this one, but we think it’s possible and feel we’ve experienced it ourselves.

They may have been spirit guides checking in with you.

They may be the souls of people sleeping, or temporarily away from their bodies for some other reason, and something attracted them to you.

It’s fairly common to feel like there are souls or spirits in the same room with you. Though many mean well, it can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep when they drop by for a visit. It can help to clear and protect yourself and your bedroom by visualizing healing, white light before bed if you don’t want to be bothered.

Finally, this type of experience could involve some mischievous entities. They’re usually more bothersome, like bratty children, than dangerous, so there’s not much to fear if this is the case. Ask your guides of the Light for protection and surround your home and yourself nightly with white Light.

The practice of surrounding one’s self with white light has much to do with the power of intent; if you believe you’re protected, you are more likely to be protected.

We regularly have experiences related to what you’ve described.

One experience occurred in Miami during the first night Stephen was living in his new apartment. He was awakened at 3 AM feeling like someone was placing their hand on his leg. He turned on the light but no one was there, so he meditated and perceived a man in his late 20s who had died of a drug overdose in the apartment. He sensed the entity was scared and unsure of where to go. Stephen called in his guides of the Light, the young man’s guides of the Light, and guided him into the Light.

A few days later, Stephen checked with the apartment management and found out that the last apartment occupant, a man in his late 20s, had in fact died in the apartment, but management didn’t know the cause.

A second experience occurred in Los Angeles. Many times for over a year, Stephen was awakened in the middle of the night feeling that an older woman was standing in the doorway of his bedroom. Since this type of experience is common for Stephen, it didn’t bother him much, but he knew it was best for her (and him) to move on. On several occasions, he used sage, his guides, and white light to clear the space and help her go to the light, but she didn’t seem to want to leave.

Eventually Stephen stopped sensing her presence and recently happened to ask his neighbor if the previous occupant had died in his home. The neighbor’s eyes got very wide and he asked why, and Stephen told him about the night-time visitations. He said that yes, an older woman who used to live there had a stroke and died. He described the woman and Stephen felt that this very well might have been the soul of the same woman he was sensing.

While talking with his neighbor (who is a writer for TV sitcoms) about sensing the former occupant’s spirit, Stephen was joking about it, which seemed to startle the man even more than how Stephen knew that an older woman had died in the home. Hollywood is known for portraying death, the unseen planes, and other metaphysical topics as scary and even evil. However, to Stephen, they’re neither scary nor evil, just a part of life.

Horror at Temple House by Arron kasady

We had heard about Temple House through a local ghost hunting team that I have regular correspondence with.  They told us of an investigation that they had carried out a few weeks previous that had yielded some interesting results.  They had decided to go back there in a few months time but asked if I was interested in taking a look as they wanted another team to verify what they had found.  With my interest peaked I got the team together and we headed off to see what the location had in store for us.

The place itself is an old building that had been built in the early nineteenth century as a home for a local dignitary.  Although the outside had the look of a building that had been standing around for many years its interior was one newly furnished offices and top of the range equipment.

Dr Katherine Copeland carried out her routine tests as always and came back with very little in the way of any abnormal on either the thermometer or on the Gauss meter.  She did warn us of the electromagnetic fields that would be a around due to the amount of equipment that was plugged in.  We decided that the gauss meter would be pretty useless in these surroundings and decided against taking it with us.

The team had Annabel Keogh our medium try and contact some of the spirits that still may be lurking around in the building and this was where things got a little interesting.

She came back with the name “Alice Carruthers” – which was a name the previous team had come up with – who was a young girl that had been working as a maid to the original owner of the building.  She had become pregnant by the owners son but, once she had informed her lover of this, had found herself being pushed down the stairs by the young man who had been worried about the affect this could have on his standing.

The team agree that we would carry out our investigation around the stairs after Ann had informed us that she felt no other presences in this building and that Alice was causing all the paranormal activity in a bid to let the living know she was there.  Ann also said that she would help the young female spirit find her way to the other side when the investigation was over.  With that in mind we set up the equipment and waited to see what the night had in store.

In started out quietly with nothing much really going on, a few minor sounds that had some of the other team members jumping but other than that very little was happening.  It was only when Annabel commented that she could feel the spirit of Alice moving down the stairs that the hairs began to rise on the back of our necks.

We positioned the cameras towards the stairs and sent Katherine up with the temperature gauge.  She reported a degrees drop in temperature that she couldn’t find the reason for.  We called out and received what sounded like small whistle for our troubles.  Although nothing was picked up on the video cameras some orbs were picked up around the stairs on the stills.

We decided at this point that we would hold a séance with a Ouija board.  We asked out for information and received on the board the message “Sad” and “Baby”.  Ann informed us that the girl was unhappy at not being able to give birth to the baby before she had died.  We also received the message “James” which we knew to be the man that had killed her and “Stairs” which we already knew was the place that she had died.

Nothing else of not happened during the session so we packed away the board and waited.  On calling out we received some bumps and bangs in answer to our questions and we also had a big drop in temperature that once again Katherine couldn’t find an explanation for.  We also heard the strange whistle sound again and several more times after that.

When morning came we had gathered enough information and recorded several strange occurrences that had made it a worthy night.  Probably not as much as we had hoped but not so little that it had been a waste of time.  We left Ann to cleanse the location of the spirit, something she always likes to do alone, and once that had been carried out made our way to our office to go over all the date and conclude our findings.

Ghost Hunter Arron Kasady talks about Crowley Hall

In all the investigations I have done, I can truly say that I have walked away thinking that maybe there was a scientific explanation for everything I have witnessed. I am a ghost hunter, I should always come away questioning what I have seen that way I can separate what I believe is true paranormal activity from what isn’t. However when it came to the location I am writing about now, I can honestly say my beliefs were turned upside down and inside out.

We heard about Crowley Hall when the owner of the location called us about some problems he was having whilst carrying out renovations. The workers he had employed had been suffering at the hands of sever supernatural activity, and during a particularly nasty attack had downed tools and gone on strike.

Well, when the team hear this sort of thing, it is like music to our ears. Plus we had recently been discussing the possibility of shooting a documentary of one of our investigations, but nothing had come close to the possibilities that Crowley Hall could have.

In this video clip, Arron Kasady talks about his experiences at Crowley Hall, and how the Paranormal Investigation was conducted over the two days they were at the hall.

White Hart Graveyard by Arron Kasady

Graveyards aren’t normally the sort of place I would let the team visit.  A lot of people expect them to be the most paranormally active places on earth when in reality very little happens there.  Why would ghosts be active in a place of rest?  The reason I wanted to go to the White Hart Graveyard however was because of something I believe I saw a year ago

I was on my home from work and instead of taking a bus as I normally would I decided to take a walk. As it was a lovely day I decided to cut through the cemetery (I find them to be the quietest places) to get home.  One day on my way there I saw what looked like the figure standing by a gravestone.  It turned, looked at me, raised its hand and right there in front of my eyes vanished without a trace.

So it was because of this remembering this that I took a few of the ghost team with me and headed down to the cemetery.  With me was Ann, Katie and Russell and with us we took little more than a torch, camera’s, both video and digital, and our bravery.

Upon getting there I asked Annabel to see if she could connect to any spirits that may just still be haunting this place.  It took Annabel a while to remove all external thoughts from her mind in a place like this.  She told us that residual energy is rife in cemeteries as they are a very spiritual place and it is very hard to try to separate between what is residual and what it is active.

Without the need of and specialist equipment it felt like a very free investigation.  We were able to move about easily (obviously without stepping on the gravestones) and not worry about setting off any alarms and such.

As she was trying to clear her mind Russell told us that he heard a small faint whisper in his ear which had made him jump.  Annabel told us that we were not alone and asked Katie to take a picture of Russell we looked at the photo after we had finished the investigation and found that was a small light anomaly right next to his ear.

It was then that Annabel came out with something I would never forget as long as I lived.  She told me that the spirit remembered me from the previous year and was interested in what I was doing here in the evening.

I was a bit taken aback by this; I had never had a spirit take a personal interest in me before.  I asked out for this spirit to make her presence known to us it was then that  Katie called out that it felt as if she had been brushed on her forehead.  I thanked the spirit and asked it to tray again.  Once again Katie claimed to have been touched lightly on the forehead.

I hadn’t told Annabel the story of my encounter with this spirit before so I proceeded to tell her there and then. Once she had finished hearing it Annabel smiled at me and told me that this was a female spirit who was very happy to see me again as I had the look of a very nice, kind person.

Astounded, I asked for the spirit to make herself known to me and to make contact with me try and talk to me like she had done with the other members of the team.  Annabel told us that the name of this spirit was Emma.  She was a lady in her thirties who had passed away through illness during the early 20th century, around 1910.

I asked the spirit why, if she had moved on did she continue to stay in this area.  Annabel told me it was because the spirit lived and worked in this area surrounding the graveyard and liked to visit the area and remember the times from when she was still alive.

I decided that I would stand alone for a short while in the area we had made contact with the spirit whilst the others went off to visit further parts of the cemetery  I asked one of the team to stay near and take photo’s of the area whilst I try to make further contact with Emma.

Whilst the others went off on their way I stood alone and started to speak out to Emma.  I asked her to let me know that she was with me, the response I received was a light brushing feeling on the back of my head.  I thanked the spirit and asked her to continue to make contact with me. This time I felt a slight tug on my sleeve and I could have sworn I heard a light murmur.  I began to slowly walk away from where I was standing all the time having the feeling that the spirit was travelling with me.

I cam across Russell who had been taking pictures from afar and he showed me one that he had taken of me.  Studying it I saw what looked like a strange line of light that behind me.

Annabel and Katie both returned with no more activity to report on although Annabel had been telling us that she had remained in contact with the spirit of Emma all the time.  Emma had told her that she had been trying to get my attention by touching my hair and tugging the sleeve of my jacket!

As Emma didn’t need our assistance and was quite happy to be in the graveyard and to continue, to this day, to watch the goings on in the area she used to live in we decided to finish the investigation and leave.

As we began to leave the cemetery I asked the others to go ahead as I wanted to go back one final time.  Alone, I thanked Emma not only for the night’s activities but also for that time when I was walking through this graveyard and she happily waved at me to let me know she was there.  I told her that if I had some time in the future I may just come back and visit her again.

I intend to keep my word.

Angels, Spirits or Ghosts by Rob Daniels

When it comes to the supernatural, few have not had a brush with eternity. Whether you attend church regularly or are the most determined doubter, the miraculous seeks out all at one point or another. Most of us have one or two fleeting incidents which we easily explain away, while an insistent few claim to have regular contact with members of the great beyond. Who are these beings who open the veil and remind us that we are not alone? Are they glorious messengers sent from God, or malevolent tormentors? Tradition gives them names, but what is the distinction between an angel, a spirit, and a ghost?

Stories of angels are as old as history. In virtually every world religion there is an angel figure-a benevolent celestial being who acts as an intermediary between heaven and earth. In scripture, angels visit man on earth to deliver messages. While many Christians believe that angels are the souls of good people who have passed on, official church doctrine generally describes angels as being created by God before the creation of humanity. Instead, saints are defined as virtuous people who have received their immortality. (One exception to this would be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who believe angels are humans who have been resurrected and have bodies of flesh and bone.) Angels are generally virtuous beings, although there are “fallen angels” who become known as demons. Although artists depict angels in glowing robes with halos and wings, the Bible says many entertain angels unawares. If you sense you have been visited by a heavenly being who has delivered an important message, chances are, you have been in touch with an angel.

The definition of spirits is more nebulous. Spirit is used to describe many things, including the part of a living being associated with the mind, will, and feelings. The word spirit is used interchangeably with angel and ghost, although spirits most definitely exist separate from the physical body.

While spirits and angels are almost always part of traditional Western dogma, ghosts are often left out of the religious equation. However, many spiritualists and individuals who have experienced near-death experiences describe ghosts as being individuals who have died, but who have not passed through the “tunnel of light.” They are found in areas they frequented during their lifetimes, and are attired in the styles of their day. Unlike angels, ghosts are in a condition of darkness and lack understanding. They may be confused, may not even know that they have died. Ghosts are almost always associated with haunting-although they may mean no harm. Most ghosts have an attachment to this world, be it unfinished business, emotional trauma, or fears that keep them from crossing over. A visit with a ghost does not have to be frightening. The kindest thing you can do for a ghost is to help him or her to put closure on his or her life and decide to find peace in the next life. A ghost who is particularly evil may have to be exorcized by an authority.

Angels, spirits, and ghosts each serve their own purposes, but one thing they all have in common is they remind us of our own mortality and keep our eyes heavenward.
