Unicorn Hotel
While working as an assistant manager at the Unicorn Hotel in Gunthorpe one of
my main tasks was checking guests in to the hotel in the evening and then checking
them out in the morning. On one such occasion I was checking two Canadian ladies
in who were staying with a wedding party. While checking them in they made it
quite clear that they didn't want to stay in room seven and that if that was the
room that they were getting they wanted to be moved, I was a little curious as
to why they were so reluctant to have this room so I asked them why. It turned
out that the two ladies had stayed in the hotel 15 years before when they were
children, they had been given room 7 (a twin room) and had gone to bed at about
7 pm. One of the girls woke up in the middle of the night to find her sister stood
at the end of the bed, she asked her why she was out of bed only to hear her sisters
voice fro! m the next bed answer 'I'm not out of bed'! She claimed that she was
not dreaming and that she had a clear image of a little girl standing at the end
of the bed. This was not the first occasion that things had happened in room 7.
Only a couple of months before my collegue had been waiting to check a guest out
of room 7 only to see him emerge from his car in the car park looking like he
had been dragged through a bush backwards. John politely asked him why he had
slept in his car, to which the gentleman replied that he had been asleep in the
bed the night before and had woken to find the covers on the floor, he pulled
them back on and tried to get back to sleep only to find that the covers flew
onto the floor again. He descrided how the covers felt as if they were been ripped
off him everytime he pulled them back on. He got so scared he slept in his car
and was so desperate to get away from the hotel the next morning that he didnt
even quibble about the 拢39.50 charge for the room.

The White Lady
This name is also common to a ghost that once haunted our village.
It was said to roam the old Calverton Hall on Main Street.Indeed
it scared two Derby builders "Witless" in the early 60's when
they demolished the hall and built the old Miners Welfare. The
ghost hasn't been seen since the old welfare was knocked down
in 1990. More stories of ghosts around Calverton can be found
on the Ghosts page on www.calverton.homestead.com

Man and his dog
It was sept 1978, I was heavly pregnant, I was waddling up Green
Hill Rise in Carlton Nottm, a quarter of the way up there is
a turn off to the right which leads to my home , I was getting
quite close to the turn off when I saw this man walking with
his dog down the rise towards the turn off, I don't know why
I was thinking this but I thought I could get there before him,
as I tried to rush up to the turn off I watched the man and
the dog walk straight through the hedge. At the turn off you
still have to walk about 100 yards to get to the road so he
would still been walking towards the road at the same time as
me, but he and the dog was nowhere in sight.

Little blue man
When i was about 4 or 5 my sister and i shared a bedroom. Most
nights our parents came into our room to tell us to go to sleep,
But we would always say the same thing. We always said that
we were talking to the 'little blue man in the corner'. I remember
talking to an old man, Who sat in the corner of our bedroom,
Surrounded by a blue glow. I remember the conversations we had
with him to this day. I miss that house, But i still go and
see it occasionally.

I'm a skeptic...but...
The Rose of england, The yorker, The filly and firkin..... banging,
smashing glasses, voices, Apparitions, shivers...etc etc etc
etc!!!!! The refurbishment that has recently taken place (including
the removal of the horse picture...supposedly the horse that
won the race, and financed the construction and design of the
building) seems to have shut him for now...but revenge is in
the air.. the place has so many stories to tell, the manager
who fell down the steller stairs, the bar man ... who chatters
away to you in the upstairs bar.. the ghostly hand which runs
down your back, the entertainer who loves to play with the pa
system, the little chicken who wonders aimlessly around the
mens toilets (???) the plates on the stairs etc etc etc....and
still some which are left undiscovered

Notts Ghost Story
It was the hot summer of 1976 when we moved in to the "new house"
as we all called it. It was a four bedroomed detatched, with
large garden, and situated just at the back of the Five Ways
pub in Sherwood, Nottingham. The house always had an atmosphere
to it, which to me at the time seemed to be a just a little
bit threatening. Not that I felt anything meant me to do me
any harm or anything, it was just a feeling I had that's all,
it was like that when I was left by myself in the house , I
was not alone if you know what I mean. It always felt as something
or someone was close byin another room of the house. A surreal
feeling that grew in intensity, until it felt as if my back
was freshly sunburnt and was chaffing against a prickly woolen
jumper. We'd been in the house about six months as I remember
when it happened, when, I was left alone one evening to look
after my little brother. Micky was and still is his name.He
was one of those kids that couldn't sleep. Constantly you'd
hear his restless footsteps padding across the bedroom floor,
, until eventually he'd come downstairs, knowing full well that
you'd have to carry him all the way back up again and tell him
yet another story. I was fourteen at the time, and watching
TV, when I heard the Mickey making his way down the stairs,
"ahh no," I thought "here we go". I distinctly saw a young child
(Mickey) then walk by the mottled glass door which lead into
the living room, befor dissapearing from sight as usual, as
he walked behind the far side of the armchair . A few seconds
passed, Mickey still hadn't walked out from behind the armchair.
"Ok" I smiled "come on Mickey, stop messing around bedtime"
I then vividly remember walking over to the chair,in my mind
I absolutley and utterly expected to find Mickey there, a sleepy
grin upon his face, staring up at me, waiting to be carried
back up to bed for his story. But, as terrifying a sight as
anything I had ever until then seen greeted my eyes...absolutely
nothing, no-one(Mickey) was there. But Micky should have been
there. A moment or two then passed, all I could do was stare
at the empty space, my eyes saying one thing, logic telling
me another. Sudden! ly! I unfroze, finding my voice,I shouted
upstairs to Mickey, but there came no reply. Half panicking
I sprinted into Mickey's room, but one thing was for sure alright,
Mickey had definately not moved from his room, he was one hundred
percent sound and snuggly asleep. I just could not figure it,
I'd definitely seen Mickey come down and walk into the room,
but then again I couldn't have, in the end I just didn't know
what to think, but that night I listened to each and every creak
and sound of that sleeping house, wondering, just wondering.
Next morning, I mentioned what had happened to my dad, and to
my surprise, he'd also had a similar experience. Earlier in
the week he'd also caught sight of what looked like a young
child wandering about the garden, but by the time he'd got into
the garden to see what was going on, the child had disappeared
. Dad then mentioned to me that he'd recently been talking to
an old man in the pub, a real local character by all accounts,
Alf his name, and a man who'd lived his entire life in the Sherwood
area. The local story teller if you like, to who'm everyone
told their own tale, with each tale then being passed on again
to anyone with half a valid interest. He told or rather explained
to my Dad, that the beneath the house where we now lived had
once been an old lake, (a fact until then had been totally unbeknown
to my dad,). Inside this lake, or so the story goes Alf told
dad, that many years ago a young child had drowned, a young
child of five years old. Exactly the same age! a! s my little
brother at the time.

Once a Nurse, Always a Nurse
My aunt's name was Doris Rainbow. She died in either the late
1970s or early 1980s, under somewhat tragic circumstances. For
many years before that she was a nurse at a hospital in Nottingham,
I don't know which one. She always worked the night shift, and
her favorite snack in the middle of the night was to make herself
some toast. After she died, my family got some curious reports
from the hospital staff. It seems that on many nights, there
would be the distinct aroma of freshly toasted bread wafting
down the halls, but whenever the kitchen was checked, there
was no one in it and there was no toast being made. On one occasion,
a patient rang for a nurse and the nurse on duty was delayed.
When she finally arrived in the patient's room to answer the
bell, she was told "Never mind, the other nurse took care of
it." The only problem was that there was no other nurse on duty
on the floor or in the area all night. The patient then proceeded
to describe my aunt to a "t;" he especially noted the fact that
she was of very short stature, which she had always been (and
evidently still is).

Mary Kings Close
Mary Kings Close in Edinburgh is a tourist attraction. Many
years ago when the plague came to Edinburgh this close was walled
up with everyone inside. One of the inhabitants was a young
girl of about 9 or 10 years old. She died in a very small dark
room in the close of the plague, her ghost is said to haunt
it. Visitors to this place are told the story as they approach
it, by a tour guide. As my husband and I waited to be shown
the room I could hear crying, I didn't mention it as I assumed
eveyone else could hear it too. Just before we entered the room
the crying stopped. The inside of the room was incredible, visitors
had left toys, sweets and money for the little girl. Afterwards
I asked my husband about the crying but he said he had not heard
anything.

Friend or Foe?
I live in a fairly regularly house, but lately I have felt a
strange presance in my room. I'm not afraid because it dosen't
want to harm me, or so I think. Anyhow I feel extremely cold
hands pulling my blanket off. And when I open my eyes no one
is there. I just hope it dosen't harm my family or me.

the white lady
this story is true. the white lady did
in fact exist, and after her sudden freak death at the newstead
gates over 400 years ago people have kept her memory alive in
stories of her spirit still occupying the place she loved the
most. this is one of those very stories. it begins with a report
I was writing on the abbey buildings. I did a lot of research
and found lots of literature on the abbey and the ghost stories
surrounding it. I didn't believe one of them. however, I wanted
to give the ghost hunting a bash. by that I mean getting red
whist walking around the park. although vision was impaired,
we (I wasn't the only one) did honestly see a ghostly clear
white figure standing over the man-made banks of the lake. a
short ugly feature wearing long shall. you think you would be
apprehensive and stay and see what you happen. no, would you
(heck), you'd run. so we did, we ran a fair distance then broke
out in uncontrollable laughter for a good few minutes. thoroughly
enjoyable.

The
german officer
When I was 12 we visited France for the first time. My dad and
uncle are very interested in World War II battle sites and we
visited an old German Gun station on the coast of Brittany.
On the morning that we visited it was particularly foggy, the
fog was quite dense so the visability was about 75 meters and
you couldn't see out to sea. The gun stations were made of 4
concrete slabs a central slab forming the back, two adjacent
slabs to either side and a large slab on the top forming a roof,so
they were open fronted with the huge guns pointing out to the
sea. Most of the stations were intact, but I had gone ahead
of everyone else and was looking at one which had been shelled
on my own. Everyone else was looking at the station next to
the one I was looking at, they were about 150 meters away. The
back of this station had caved right in when the shell had hit
exposing the steel support rods in the middle of the concrete,
the roof was slightyly caved as well and the gun (which when
intact is abot 3.5 meters long) was broken into several pieces
which had been embedded into the earth below. I was standing
exactly on top of one of the gun fragments, looking across at
the wall that had been damaged. I noticed that this particular
gun station had a rank smell about it, like sulphur, damp, and
rotting vegetation. A patch of fog over by the damaged wall
caught my eye and as I looked at it it seemed to increase in
size and density and began to take a form. A man wearing a uniform
developed right in front of my eyes, he had a moustache, i remember
quite clearly and i could count the buttons on his uniform he
was looking right at me, but looking through me, and then his
eyes met mine, I felt sick and absolutely terrified, the hairs
on my neck were standing right up, I wanted to scream, I wanted
to get as far away from there as possible as his prescence was
not a welcoming one. I couldn't move and my feet were glued
to the floor my heart went so fast I thought it would burst.
we were just stood there looking at each other for about 2 minutes
then my cousin approached calling my name and I fell onto the
ground, I got up without even looking to see if he was still
there I ran to the car where my mum was and I have never ran
so fast in my life. My mum asked me what had happened as I was
pale, shaking uncontrollably and crying. I told her what I just
told you but she refused to believe me thinking that the spooky
atmosphere, fog and an overactive imagination was the explanation
for the german officer. I know what I saw and know what I felt.
I still get goose pimples thinking about it now. I sometimes
sit and wonder who he was and how he died and why he appeared
to me. He said nothing, the only emotion I felt in his prescence
was fear. I know that he didn't hold any messages to me so perhaps
I had disturbed him from the place where he had fallen, I simply
don't know. I definately believe on ghosts and stand by my word
on this story. Wherever and howerev that officer is I wish him
peace and hope that no one else encounters him in such a fearful
way.

Haunted?
I lived in Lowdham, Notts for several years in the 1990s. My
house was an old cottage. I thought I could often hear muffled
voices and sometimes footsteps in the upstairs rooms. My wife
never did, and thought I was imagining it. One evening I was
running a bath, and was suddenly aware that the sound of the
running water was 'slowing down'. I turned to see both bath
taps turning themselves off. Just a trick of water pressure,
I thought. But as it continued it was clear that the taps were
'pausing' just about every two thirds of a turn, rather than
turning in a constant motion. Just as if someone were turning
the taps off by hand. This was over in a few seconds, and the
water stopped. I checked the taps, and they were turned off!
Again, my wife thought I must have imagined it. Perhaps I did?!
Then, on the day we moved out of the house she was left alone
there for a while. During this time she heard the muffled voices
and movement upstairs, just as I had described. Not once did
the house ever feel creepy or unwelcoming, and we loved living
there. I never had a sense of anyone else being there. But these
things did happen.

wierd...
i slept at a friends house and about 2 in the morning she woke
me up, swore at me and then said she was going to sleep by her
mother. the next morning she was in her own bed and i asked
her why she was cross with me, not knowing what i was talking
about i explained and she said that she never got up. the next
night 10 minutes after the lights were out we heard the sound
of glass crashing against the wall and we put the light to find
that an orniment placed in the middle of her dressing table
had been shot against the wall.

Naked Woman
I remember a local newspaper follow-up story on a 6 month old
boy who had survived 2 days without food or water,strapped in
a car seat as his mother lay dead behind the wheel. This is
off of an isolated mountain pass here in California,2 days later
an eldery women notices a naked lady laying by the side of the
road, shes afraid to stop, so reports to local sheriffs, who
investigate. No naked women was discoverd, but the the baby
was. 1988

School
in Gloustershire
I went to an all girls boarding school. A new girl arrived mid
term and was allocated a bed in my dorm. As I was asked to help
settle her in I went to the linen cupboard which was situated
on the floor above us, in the attic. To get to the attic you
needed to go through a doorway and up some narrow winding stairs.
As I went up these stairs a little girl, younger than the age
range of girls at the school,tried to get passed me. I moved
to one side and she brushed against me as she went down. She
looked upset and I called out to ask if she was ok. She turned
and looked back but said nothing. I got the bedding I had gone
for and went down the stairs. One of the Nuns who was helping
the newcomer to unpack asked me why I had been so long. I explained
that I'd met a little girl on the stairs wearing a long white
nighty and a little frilly bedcap. The nun said well you've
jus! t ! met Lucy Locket our little ghost. Apparently she was
the illegitimate daughter of a servant who lived in the house
many many years prior!

NEWSTEAD ABBEY
Both my dad and I have seen the white lady, her name is actually
Sophie. My dad saw her when he was about my age, and then about
a year ago, I saw her to. It was dark and I was sat with my
girlfreind in the car. As I turned off the headlights a white
figure was about 200 yards in front of us. I quickly turned
them back on and we could see nothing, again I turned them off,
the figure was back again. I looked at my girlfreind and see
was speachless, she had gone white and just screamed. I started
the car and we sped of at speed. I have never been so scared
I drove over them speed bumps at about 50mph.

Ghosts
Am I the only person who considers this section to be an utter
and complete waste of space. Ghosts -- I have come across many
such claims such as these in the past both via the media and
in person. Remember these are extraordinary claims, which if
true would vioalte the known laws of science. Yet there is not
one shred of evidence to back them up, therefore at some point
in my life I came to the reasonable conclusion that there were
no such things as ghosts. I am not being closed-minded, therefore,
if I dont believe any of these people did actually experiece
a ghost becuase I have already come to a rational, informed
decision on the subject. Of course some people may feel slighted
becuase it appears that I have dismissed their particular belief/theory/claim
out of hand. They may well counter that "I was not there so
I can't know for sure" ot "that I can't prove that ghosts don't
exist". Such arguments are irrelevant (as well as fallacious).
To make me reconsider my position all I ask is to be presented
with some evidence. So I'm not being closed-minded if I do not
take on baord every story posted here, it is neither necessary
nor constructive to do this. As Robert Carol points out "Being
open-minded does not mean that one has an obligation to examine
every crackpot idea or claim made". I've had this discussion
before so in response to those people who will want to write
and accuse me of being "closed minded"

George's
Lane
There have been many a rumour about the haunted status of a
road in Calverton called George's Lane. The road itself is a
long, dark, windy and unlit country lane, where many accidents
have taken place due to the its conditions and the blind corners.
Nearby residents can relate an urban myth which states that
persons driving alone along this road in the dark often see,
if they happen to glance in their rear view mirror, an old lady
sitting in the back of the car. If anyone else knows anything
about this urban myth then please get in touch at: nblake42@hotmail.com

3.00am that morning, i was woken by a haunting smell, i climbed
up from behind the settee I looked around the room and it appeared
to be filled with strange people i couldnt make out their faces
or their shapes properly but they were definately there. i clambered
to my feet rising into a mist of aramatic herby smells. At this
point i felt a strange presence beside me, it was two spirits:

Ghosts
While living in a large old house on Long Island, NY, USA, I
saw a cloudy, smoke like fog at the end of a long hall in the
house. It scared the heck out of me and I had to rub my eyes
to make sure I was not imagining this.
Supposedly the house had been build near indian burial grounds
and we found many indian artifacts through the years.
Others would hear strange noises.
At the time the cleaning lady was complaining that she felt
she was being watched and that something was strange in the
house.
We also felt cold spots and wicker chairs would make noises
as if someone was sitting in them. The handyman complained that
there were footsteps on the stairs and he saw a chandelier that
was slowly turning despite the fact that there was no draft
in the room.
The spaniel would growl as if something was in the room and
the hair on his back would stand on end.
After seeing the figure I no longer stayed alone in the house.
The house was sold shortly after.

My family and i had just moved into a house that was rented.
The location of this house is built where king arthur had supposedly
camped giving it the name now "Aucken". Anyway as soon as u
were in the house u could feel a prescence i didn't think much
of it at the time but soon after we started to hear things and
i also started getting very bad headaches. My brother had came
over from America and he and my mum had been getting strange
dreams about Gobblins or elves or something and also about snakes.
My big brother swears he was always being tripped up on the
stairs( whether this has got something to do with it i don't
know). Another strange thing , again i don't know if this has
got anything to do with it, every house i hav lived in is linked
to the number four, my father also died when i was four. I lived
in house numbers 40, 13, 409, 45. i don't know if this is all
linked but i do believe in ghosts, being chritsains, my mum
has told me things about demons and stuff and if u've been in
similiar situations then please e-mail me. ilflexi@hotmail.com

Ghost
story
I live in a self contained flat ie two
bedrooms,bathroom, wc,kitchern and livingroom .This flat is
on the first floor,my landlady has the ground floor flat she
owns the house.We have seperate front doors to the property.Now
apart from having our living room and bed room in the same position
in the house, the other rooms are different ie bath room in
my flat is in the middle on one side of the property, hers at
the back of the property. But running from front to back of
the property is a passage,hers is a hallway, mine is the landing.
I am trying to place you in the locale of the building,thats
in between the living room and the bed room. You would be standing
in the hallway of her flat but if you were in my flat you would
be standing on my landing directly above.Now it is at this point
that you get a sense of some thing sometimes a feeling, but
most times a strong smell of perfume.My! l! andlady is in her
late seventies i often pop in to have a cup of tea and have
a chat,i have lived in my flat nineteen years and in those years
there have been regular visits of this kind. Like i say i have
a chat and a cup of tea and have asked my friend come landlady
about these episodes she as not smelt the perfume herself, but
has said that the previous tennents have . There as never been
any type of threat feeling in fact it as been a warm type.the
perfume as a very pleasent smell to it.Just to add something
else to this i have a cat and he will often sit bolt upright
look round the place towards that point of the property,his
ears pricked as if he is looking at someone or something.

A little over a year ago a cherished friend of mine passed away
who was also a psychic. She and I were close and I thought about
her a lot. One day in July of 2000 I was headed out the door
to meet with a friend and when I went down the hall to leave
I saw this "sunburst of light" with my friends face in the middle
of it poised in front of the front picture window of my house.
I took it to mean that she was there to let me know she was
doing ok.

Ghosts in San Francisco!!!
Hi! My son was living in an apartment near the ocean in San
Francisco, around 1991 and called me at about 2 AM one morning,
with a frantic voice. He had awakened and WAS SEEING three people,
two adults and a child, standing at the foot of his bed. They
were dressed in clothing that looked like turn of the century
or before. The woman';s dress reached to her ankles. My son
said they looked like pioneers. They asked him for help, as
they didn't know where they were, or what to do, like they didn't
know they had died on this earth and where next to go. He was
still seeing them, as he was talking to me on the phone. Well,
what would YOU say, if somebody asked you this??? All I could
think to say was to tell my son to tell these three people to
call on their spirit guides to help them find their way to wherever
it was they were suppose to be. I didn't say ! Go! To The Light,
as I don't know if that would have been very helpful!! He had
another episode where a ghost cat was sitting by his leg, as
he was falling asleep. That didn't bother him near as much as
the three people. These are the only two times we have had this
to happen in our family!!

never
mess with ancient prophecys
I messed once with a ancient prophecy that was supposed to be
unsolvable. I solved it. BIG MISTAKE! DON"T DO THAT. IT"S
SCARY.
What happened was 2 supernatural events happened. The first
was a vision that contained important hidden details of the
prophecy including the numerology of the prophecy and the god
behind it.
The 2nd was something straight out of the Raiders of the Ark
movie.
I was outside alone in broad daylight a day later and I was
suddenly surrounded by a swirl of Ghosts!!! And as in the movie
one stopped, looked at me directly in the face and then vanished!
AAAAAHHHH!
And now I stuck with the knowledge I may have released a terrible
thing upon the planet.
God save us all.

My
daughter Mattie and her gift.
My daughter, Mattie, is now fifteen. When she was a child, we
lived in an small, old house. Mattie was deathly afraid of her
room at night. She would play in there during the day, but not
cross the threshold at night...she slept on the livingroom couch.
When she was three, she began having conversations with a "friend"
named TeeNeeAnna. When I asked her what she looked like, Mattie
told me she had black hair, black eyes, and black lips. She
was wearing a pink dress. Oh, yeah, don't forget the blood all
over her chest. Mattie said, very calmly, that TeeNeeAnna's
father had killed her with an axe. Also in this house, I heard
a woman singing a lullabye several times. I also saw her looking
out of the door at me as I washed the car. She was dressed in
a cotton homespun dress of the 1800's. Our stereo would come
on and off, the volume would go up and down, and the channels
would change...even when unplugged. Mattie is quite psychic.
Even today. We moved from that house years ago. Mattie told
us then that TeeNeeAnna could not go with us. We have since
moved back to the same neighborhood. Just two months ago, Mattie
came in all out of breath and excited. She had seen TeeNeeAnna
she exclaimed. Mattie sees someone named Edward in the 120 year-old
house we live in now. We live across the street from our town's
largest and oldest cemetery. Mattie sometimes goes over there,
and if you watch, she will sit down next to a grave and talk.
Mattie is not a fruitcake...she is very popular in school and
enjoys all the things normal high schoolers do. She is an honor
student, and a trumpet player in the band. She has an extrodinary
gift of "seeing dead people" and keeps her mind open to all
things. I have never been afraid in any house we have had ghosts,
but I must admit, Mattie sometimes unnerves me.

The
Dark Strangler
Laying in my bed, awake, my bed begins to shake lightly. Thinking
it's my imagination, I ignore it. Then my door flies open and
this black figure comes over me, trying to suffocate me and
strangle me. It was a dark shadow with hands. I could feel pressure
and couldn't breath, move, or even scream. In a matter of seconds
it stopped. The shadow goes out my door and my door is left
open. I still couldn't move, as if my legs were paralyzed. I
fell off my bed and kinda crawled down my hallway. I lost my
voice for a week and strange things continue to happen. I'll
see black figures go under my couch during broad daylight. The
strangling only took place in my room, which happened to me
3 times wide awake. I refuse to sleep in my bedroom anymore.
I was told my situation is a type of witch craft called "Old
Hags Sydrome" which is a paralysis of the brain. In my situation,
t! he! spirit is called the "strangler" where the spirit tries
to strangle you and attacks. I was told if you fight back, it's
worse and the longer the spirit messes with you, but if you
are able to wiggle your fingers or toes or any part of your
body, since you are "paralyzed", the spirit will go away. You
just have to concentrate on moving. At first I thought I was
crazy, then find other people have had the same experiences.
I do collect black Jaguar cats and have very old antique black
cats with jems in their eyes. I got a couple at a garage sale
and some were from my grandma who is now deceased. I wonder
if they are the cause of something evil.

ghosts
I dont know if this is true or rumour, ive never witnessed it,
and have no wish to. i live in a village called west deeping,
and apperntly our church and railways crossing in the nearby
village of tallington are both haunted. the story goes that
a village resident's wife died on the 14th of january, and on
that night, he can be heard crying in the church. the next afternoon,
his ghost is suppoused to be seen and heard throwing himself
off the footbrigde onto the train below (the 5.50 to london
if your intrsed). apperlty you can see his ghost fall from the
side of the bridge, and hear him scream as he hits the train.
Again, i would like to stress ive never heard this, or seen
it, but heard it from my neighbour, and the events are re-encted
every 14th january, at 1 am in our church,. and at 5.50 on 15th
january at tallington railway crossing

We
where driving on the road past belvoir castle towards Knipton.It
was around this time of year.We had passed the front carpark
to the castle and were heading round the winding road towards
the T junction where you you turn聽left to Knipton.We spotted
a figure thumbing a lift,this we thought very strange,as we
got closer we could see this聽person was sort of floating drifting
had no legs ,feet etc the closer we became it was certain that
he had a long coat(like trenchcoat) and was all in grey.We slowed
down, very uncertain as to what it was.When we were about 5meters
away the figure appeared to walk accross in front of the car
,we braked suddenly the figure walked and vapourised infront
of the car,the vapour seemed to dispurse into nothing. I very
sheepishly got out to see if we had hit somebody,but at the
speed we where going it was very certain that there was nobody
there.We drove off at speed and told many people of our encounter
not certain that anybody believed us.We contacted a ghost specialist
via the internet but they were very unhelpful.....I listened
to Jeff owen on radio Nottm this morning聽and was very uncertain
whether to call,can anybody take me seriously Kind regards

Children
on the stairs
A couple of months ago I walked in from a night out. As i walked
into the kitchen door i heard cryin comin from the Hallway,
i proceeded to go to bed as i reached the bottom of the stairs
i noticed two figures of a young boy and girl. The little boy
was sat on the stair just below the girl, with her hands on
his shoulders as i got closer she pushed him down the stairs.After
doing this she stayed there for a little while, i then proceeded
to walk upstairs as i was doing so the girl faintly disapeared.
And nothing has happened since that night.

We got married in 1975,Our first house was a terraced property.We
moved in in Dec 1975.On new years day 1976 we were in bed at
about 8.00am when we herd someone coming upstairs[we had no
carpet down]we thought it might as she had got a key.The footsteps
stopped at the top of the stairs,my wife would not go and have
alook so we dived under the bedclothesand did not move half
hour.We said it someone using the entry although we knew it
was not.We never heard the footsteps again .But very occasionally
when going from the kitchen to the frontroom [the stairs split
the rooms]out the corner of my eye I could see a black shape
crouching at the top of the stairs,when I looked straight up
there was nothing there

story
A few years back, a group of friends and I rented an 1840's
farmhouse on a gorgeous seaside farm on Martha's Vineyard for
some summer fun. Typically, there was always a large group of
us there but where I had some extra vacation time that year,
I began the weekend early and enjoyed a few days all to myself.
The first day was lovely - I spent the day in the sun, treated
myself to a great dinner and watched an old black & white movie
before retiring for the evening. I was a little nervous being
by myself on such a secluded part of the island but soundly
fell asleep regardless. The next morning however, I woke up
earlier than expected to voices coming from downstairs! I grabbed
the nearest thing resembling a weapon -my hairspray bottle -
and quietly creeped down the stairs only to find that the voices
were from the TV. I thought I had turned it off. Silly me. During
that day I fol! lo! wed the same plan as the previous but this
time before I went to bed I made absolutely, positively sure
the television was turned off. The next morning, once again
quite early, I was woken by voices downstairs. The television
was blaring! Now I was shaken. I went and spoke with the farm
manager;I knew there'd been no storms but he confirmed that
no electrical disturbances or cable work had been done on the
farm either. However, he did tell me that before the farmhouse
had become a rental property the family's grandmother - the
last family member to actually work the farm - had died there
and this wasn't the first strange story he'd heard. Now I can't
prove a ghost and, at most, it was probably a harmless message
to get up and do some chores but I never slept there by myself
again and, never with the group of us there did the TV turn
itself on again.

Smelly
Ghost?
I live in a shared flat in Guildford with 2 other guys. Shortly
after one of them, a student from Plymouth named Paddy, moved
in we started to smell a strange odour coming from his room.
No one could work out what it was but it was certainly unpleasant
and we were determined to get rid of it. Alas nothing seemed
to work and we began to suspect the paranormal. Desperate to
remove the smell we turned to a friend of my uncle who was a
priest. We convinced him to perform an exorcism; it seemed like
our last hope. We were very excited about the ceremony and got
all dressed up especially. Paddy even had a shower! Well my
Uncles friend did the business and sure enough the smell seemed
to have disappeared. We were very pleased as you can imagine
and although the smell does sometimes return it is not nearly
as bad as it used to be.

Hong
Kong ghost
An friend of mine recounted a story one night about her father
in Hong Kong. He was walking through the mountains one evening
on his way home. It was quite dark so he followed a guy in front
of him who was holding a lamp. During the journey, the man in
front appeared to grow very tall indeed, then seemed to shrink
behind a boulder...the flame flickered away very rapidly too
until her father was standing there in complete darkness up
a cold mountain..... Harry.

strange
but true
It was christmas time, and we had our friend Julie visiting
(we hadn't seen her for ages) so we decided to open a bottle
of champagne.Whilst we were opening it, we were telling her
of a friend that had recently died and that the following week
we were going to his funeral.His name was Bob, after the cork
came out, she asked what was his name again I told her and there
printed on the cork...was BOB.I thought it was abbreviation
of the champagne...but it wasn't,even the shop couldn't explain
it.So we poured him a glass and thought it was really strange

After moving into a new house, which was built in the 1940's
My wife and I started to renovate it , new wiring, central heating,
etc.It wasn't untill I knocked the kitchen units out did anything
occur.Strange banging sounds came from down stairs while we
laid in bed,things began to move in the house,such things as
a vase would be in a different place in the morning to where
it was left the night before? Things went from bad to worse,hardcore
had been laid in the kitchen for a new concrete floor, a piece
of hardcore was throw out of the kitchen door by invisible hands
at head height, the hardcore piece just missed my mother who
was visiting. So many other things happened, voices, doors opening,
friends who wouldn't come round because of the feeling the house
had we decided to sell,we had been there for just nine months,
and spent 拢10000 on the place.People came to look round but
nobody put an offe! r ! in, we where told by a friend that they
had spoken to somebody that had looked round the house but new
nothing of the problems within the house, they had told them
it was very nice but it had a very eerie feel to it, so they
didn't want to buy it for that reason. Eventually we did sell
the house, I often wander if they have had the same problems
as we experienced,who knows?

cards
on the telly
I moved house two months ago. In our old house, we used to put
birthday cards on the top of the t.v. However, when we put my
son's cards up last month, the cards would not stay up. Everytime
we stood them up they fell back down again even though there
was no possible draught. We also noticed a sudden chill just
before the cards fell - spooky!!!

Ghost
or Imaginary Friend?
My friend told me recently how his girlfriend had a very vivid
imaginary friend when she was young. Although she had dismissed
the memories and experienced nothing for many years, things
have started to happen since she began to move out. They are
expecting their first child and are moving into their first
home. Since this was decided, unexplained knocks and bangs have
been heard in the house. This culminated, when she finally left,
in her name sign falling off the door which had been securely
fixed there nearly all her life...

Ghosts
in Guernsey
When my husband was a student he worked in Guernsey for the
summer as a comi-chef. One night he was walking in a place called
the Val De Terrs. It was a very warm, summer's night. Suddenly
it got very cold, like a fridge. It was pitch black but in the
distance my husband could hear male voices. They were talking
about a car that had broken down and saying they would push
it. One of the men was called George because my husband heard
this name being mentioned. Because my husband couldn't see these
people and was a bit frightened, he shouted out to them and
asked the time. There was no reply from them. Then, just as
suddenly as it had gone cold, it became very warm again and
he went back to the pub where he worked and told of his experience
to his friends. One of them said they would never walk up the
Val De Terrs because a few years previously his friends had
been involv! ed! in a hit and run accident there and were killed.
One of the men was called George!!
