A Liverpool ghost writer actually wrote about this incident and interview the lady and the gentleman when it first happened. However he said that the woman who he interviewed years ago wasn’t the same woman who was interviewed on Uncanny. So she may have had a seperate experience.

That particular street (Bold Street) is notorious for time slips and has had LOTS of reports. Personally when I walk through there there is something that feels strange.
I always feel weird on that street too apparantly it’s built on ley lines or could be the energy from the underground train line maybe

Super interested to read about people's experiences with 'Hat Man,' it reminds me of a super scary book called 'Heart Shaped Box,' written by Stephen Kings son (cannot for the life of me remember his name!!!) wondering if the main character was based upon this!
Oh I’ve read heart shaped box, I thought it was good but not too scary! It takes a lot for me to be scared though 😂

All of the above really! It’s a very intuitive practice so you’ll find that the cards speak to you on a spiritual level, whether you’re looking for advice or predicting what might happen if you make a certain decision. You can definitely learn from YouTube, websites or books - ‘Tarot for Dummies’ (excuse the name 😂) is really good and easy to follow for beginners if you’d prefer to learn from a book. I’ve never found it frightening personally but it does have the potential to warn you about certain things that might happen. Often times it might just confirm what you already know or suspect.
Also a book called Fearless Tarot by Elliot Adam is brilliant. Gives you all the tarot meanings for upright or reversed but from a positive perspective.

I’ve got another weird experience

during the pandemic I was seconded into a nursing home for a month. Residents were still dying but not at the rate they were at the beginning. Anyway I worked nights on the Dementia Care floor. Every so often the panic alert in the day room would activate. Nobody was ever down there, I know because as a senior member of staff I would be responsible for knowing where staff were. All doors and lifts had security codes on them so residents couldn’t just wander down 2 floors or access the day room by themselves. One of us had to go down and deactivate it and no one ever wanted to go. I used to go down because it meant I could nip out for a quick smoke and nobody would mind as long as they didn’t have to go 🤣. It used to coincide with someone passing away within a day, but people were going all the time so it might’ve just been coincidence. No fault on the alarm system. It was checked multiple times
So many things like this happened in the many nursing homes ive worked in over the years .
In one there was a corner that absolutely no one liked to go in. It was dark and oppressive feeling , always felt like there was something not nice there watching you
Lifts going up and down and opening with no one in them at random times.
Call bells in completely empty and locked up rooms going off .
The times I have sat with a resident on end of life care , who would otherwise pass away alone and they have very clearly seen or spoken to something in the room that I couldn't see.
One lady kept telling me for days "hes there look over there , hes come to get me and take me with him " referring to her husband . Passed away within days .

This is why I don't fear death, obviously not all the deaths ive encountered have been peaceful , but I definitely have no doubt that when I die its not the end.

When I was younger that's the way we learned, my sister and I purchased them for each other, and the sets I have now I've got my other half to buy for me (apart from one set I recently bought from Temu and haven't used, but I think I'm going to gift them to someone). I googled it a while ago and a lot of experienced readers now say it's ok to buy them for yourself as someone might be in a position where they want them but have noone to gift them a set. I generally don't see a problem with it, maybe if it's possible to follow tradition and gave them gifted then fair enough, but if someone's not able to get them that way then I don't see harm in buying them. It would be interesting to hear others opinions on it 🙂
Yes I've heard that too. I've also heard that nobody other than the reader is supposed to touch your tarot, which conjures up images of manufacturers flicking them round with long sticks or picking them up with their chins etc.. 😂 (sorry, I have an odd mind). So I say go with what feels right to you!

So did I. I haven't been in Bold Street for a long time but I was there regularly in the 70's and 80's and I always found it an eerie place. Bizarrely quiet compared to the rest of town.

That could be a reason! I always feel at my most unusual by the Burger King 👑

I've never really understood ley lines but I did have a friend that went through a horrid time and seemed to have a lot of bad luck. She got someone in to 'cleanse' her house and was told it was built on ley lines. She put the house on the market immediately.

I learn something new every day. Are ley lines considered bad?

More powerful I think? Pretty sure Glastonbury is riddled with them and that’s why it’s deemed to be a special place.

I often wonder if it’s something to do with the structure of how we understand time works and as quantum physics progresses we will understand that past and future can coexist with the present. It would explain a lot of ghost phenomena as well. At some point future generations might look at the belief in the supernatural in the same way that we look at witches being burned or hung for pacts with the devil

I bought a few of these little pocket books from the astrology shop in Covent Garden. I thought I remembered they had one on leys, and they do! These are just a few of the titles… they are lovely. And only a few quiz each. Wooden Books (the publisher)

Not sure if it's still the case but a restaurant at the top of Bold St was the meeting place of a local Coven.

From what I remember, they are energy lines, similar to meridians, that criss cross the globe. Some contend that ritually significant locations, like Glastonbury, are placed on them. They are not regularly spaced however. I never cams across a definitive map of them, usually the local occultist or researcher confidently proclaims it, or at a push dowses the area (Ley-lines or underground streams, who can tell).

I became interested when I started to suspect that the location of my childhood bed was over it, with bad sleep and other issues for the months I did sleep there, which eased significantly when the room was rearranged. Or I managed my undiagnosed ADHD better: Either/or 😅

I felt like this in the medal room at the Imperial War museum in London. Had to get out.
I work with medals and often repair some very very old ones. Some of them feel so sad. The girls at work often call me a witch! They don’t pick up on anything and there is me in near tears opening a packet to repair before I’ve even seen the medal! Some of them have the most loving and caring vibes and some feel quite evil! I’ve had glasses fly off shelves and break 3 in an day and none ever before or since all wile working on one particular medal. Objects definitely hold on to residual energy.

I wasn't sure whether to post about this, as I'm unsure if acknowledging it again, outside of my own thoughts is a good idea, but it's been on my mind since Halloween evening, so here goes...


I'm not sure if I've added into any comments I've made previously on here that I think there's something in my kitchen. I wasn't sure what but on Halloween, in between the 100 odd kids that came to my door, we tried out a pendulum and yes/no/ maybe board I gave my daughter (I gave her friend one too in a wee bag with tarot cards and a cloth, stones, sweets, a wee broomstick and other similar bits and bobs as a thank you for them helping make, and set up, the decorations outside and answering the door to the trick or treaters).

We were looking at the spells I have, and just chatting about ghosts, ouija ect and my daughter decided to ask her pendulum some questions, initially it was silly stuff like "will I win a million quid", but as we chatted I told my daughter's friend that when we moved here five years ago immediately my daughter starting going on about "the man in the attic", and I very carefully (I didn't want to scare my daughter, they're both 17 and neurodiverse) I mentioned that I get a funny feeling in the kitchen sometimes, so my daughter says yes, me too, just at the side of the fridge. I was shocked, as that's exactly where I feel like someone stands and watches me, in both daytime but mainly at night. I asked her about the man in the attic and she said she just "knew" a man was up there. When we moved in it was a good couple of months before we got into the loft as the door was jammed, but when I did I found that the loft was floored and beams had been cut and moved higher up to allow someone to move about up there. There was empty beer cans, bottles, cigarette ends along with just random stuff that had been put up and forgotten about, the cans were from the 80s, but the thing that got me the most was the smell. Since we moved here there's been a smell in the hall and we've tried everything to get rid of it, it's at the bottom of the stairs and comes and goes. We've had plumbers, drain people, builders, you name it we've tried and we can't locate it, it's not dead mice. It can be there one day, gone the next, and back the following. It's only in the one area and nowhere near the loft access hatch, the loft smell is identical, and it's not a general smell you'd associate with a loft, musty old, it's pungent. We had the roof redone, thinking it would help. It didn't, there's no dampness ect.

So a couple of years ago I began noticing it in the kitchen, but again only at certain times. Cleared the drains, made no difference. It can go for months and then reappear as bad as ever. We decided to ask the pendulum if there was a spirit in the house, and it said yes, then we asked was it a man, again, yes. I told the girls I had a sense it was a man in his late 50's and that he looked like he was from the 1980s and he smoked. I can picture in my minds eye what he looked like, it's probably just my imagination though. My daughter's friend said "I think his name was Charlie" so we asked the pendulum and it said no, but she asked did his name begin with C and it said yes, I then asked if he passed in this house in the 80's and it said yes. Kids came to the door so we stopped, and my friends mum arrived to pick her up so we couldn't continue, and to be honest I'm not sure I wanted to.

Since Halloween on Tuesday something very odd has happened, instead of the usual smell in the hall there's now a very strong perfumey scent. It doesn't smell like any of my daughters or my perfume, it's really, really weird. I also haven't sensed the man in the kitchen, it's very different going in there now. I wonder if it's because we somehow acknowledged him? And I told him that we were going to look after the house, and that he could stay if he continued to just exist in the background. My daughter agreed with me that he's not a threatening presence, it's almost as if he is wondering why we are in his house. Where my fridge is is where, in the past in these kitchens, a dining table and chairs would have sat (it's a 1960's house). Maybe that was where he liked to sit, smoking his cigarettes, and would pop up into the loft to sit to have his own space? Ive listened to and watched all the Uncanny episodes, and read the book, and fully understand my brain is looking to make sense of something that's probably my imagination, but the whole thing is very odd.

My house is a magnet as I decorate like crazy 😂 I started putting up my inside decorations on October 1st, my other halfs ready for killing me as there's life sized skeletons on the couch 😂. Tomorrow is when I go really nuts outside, canny wait, I love it more than Christmas
Are you me 😁 I do a full spooky tableau in the front garden with lights, fog machine, the lot and word has got around over the years so they are practically queuing up the driveway 😆 I do get lots of lovely comments though and it's so much fun. I'm sitting here surrounded by bags and boxes of it about to go into the loft.

We live in a very old cottage so it feels like an obligation to 'witch it up' at Halloween! Sadly, despite its age, not much spooky activity to report. When I was in my teens I was told by a medium that I have very strong 'protection' and that someone is looking out for me. So maybe she/he fends them all off 😊

Weird thing happened today. I was out in central London meeting my mum for lunch, and my toddler was having his nap in the buggy so it was laid flat. I had to lift the whole thing up the steps to get out of this bloody wine bar my mum had chosen, it was only about 5 steps and I’m used to lifting the buggy up and down stairs as so much of central London can be pretty inaccessible. Anyway, on the 4th step I had a weird sensation in my arms, like they locked for a fraction of a second and made me pause near the top of the stairs. Literally for a second, but I thought it was weird.

The door opens straight onto a narrow street, and as we exited a bloke on a huge electric scooter flew past us so close there were literally people crying out as they thought we’d collided but there was maybe a millimetre between us. I didn’t see it coming as it was so fast and the restaurant door had blocked the view anyway.

if I hadn’t paused on that step, he’d have crashed straight into my boy asleep in the buggy.
