True Ghost Stories #2

[Upintheair83]

This isn't my Ghost story, but my lovely dads. I find this the most impressive sighting iv heard of as there were multiple witnesses.
My dad is retired now but used to work in ceramics- namely sanitary ware. He used to work for a company called Twyfords Bathrooms. He was based in the office and managed all the workers on the factory floor. This one day he had a bit of trouble with one of the lads- a man named Percy. So off he went to find him. Percy worked on the factory floor in the slip house. In ceramics the slip house was a huge, messy place where the clay would be prepared so it could used to make the sanitary ware. As he was walking around the slip house looking for Percy he got side tracked and began talking to another man on the factory floor, during this conversation he mentioned he wanted a word with Percy and it was during this conversation my dad caught sight of Percy. So my dad paused his conversation and apologised for cutting the conversation off and shouted 'hey percy! Percy! I want a word with you!!!' But Percy carried on walking, so my dad was on a mission now and he kept chasing after him shouting 'PERCY!! You come here!im talking to you!' But Percy just ignored him, which angered my dad. Percy then walked up some steps seemingly ignoring my dad, his manager. My dad was becoming more and more angered and at this point was really shouting him.
Other men on the factory floor began to stand and watch this scene play out, probably sniggering under their breath.
As my dad started to climb the steps after him he saw Percy walk towards a door but instead Percy didn't walk through the door, he walked straight into the wall and vanished. As my dad stopped there in shock, everyone else just did too, mouths wide open. Their stares and silence only breaking once the dirty figure of the actual and very real Percy came bounding in to the slip house off his cigarette break! My dad said that looking back he should have known it wasn't Percy because his overalls were bright white- spotlessly clean. Not dirty and full of clay residue.
So this sighting was in broad daylight, when people were fully awake and there were multiple witnesses. I really don't know how anyone can explain this away.
Apparently there were a few deaths on site, mostly men who worked on the factory and died of heart attacks. I wonder if it was one of them. The factory no longer stands, it was demolished a few years back. But on top of it stands a massive new housing development. Whenever we drive past it we all say 'I wouldn't want to live there!' I'd love to know if any of the residents have seen the ghost we lovingly now refer to as 'Percy' as they sit on their sofa or fall asleep in their bed.
I hope Percy finds peace and stops wandering around the factory floor. Xx

Has anyone watched help my house is haunted?

Not a ghost story but the building I used to work in was very eery, even during the day. If I was the last one in to lock up at night I couldn’t get out of there fast enough and I never dared look behind me. It was a relief to get down the stairs and get out onto the street even when it was the middle of winter and pitch black. The only way I can describe it was a feeling I was being watched and wasn’t welcome there.

Yesterday afternoon I was out walking my dogs and I’m certain I saw something . The route we walk is ideal for people who don’t want to be bothered by others and to get to it you have to pass through a cemetery. We were just coming to the end of the cemetery where it opens onto fields and I had a mini heart attack when I saw a white dog darting about the headstones and running full speed towards us. One of mine is reactive and the other won’t tolerate bad mannered dogs anyway so I was thinking oh duck! In a split second it was gone. Neither of mine reacted at all which is very unusual as they’ll see another dog when it’s way in the distance, or they’ll smell it before they can see it. Very strange.

Does anyone else have objects lift up and drop down again in the house? Sometimes I’ll hear something but not see it and I’ll know it was, for example, a cup with a spoon in, or shoes on the floor, etc., and that it was picked up and dropped maybe an inch, just from the sound. It’s been happening for years on and off but it’s picked up again in the last couple of weeks.

I was listening to CDs the other day (yes, I’m old fashioned, none of this streaming rubbish for me!) and long after the CD had finished playing, I distinctly heard the sound of the CD drawer opening and closing. I remember saying, “what the f*** and turned round only to find the CD drawer shut. The CD player is 4ft away from my chair. It really freaked me out, but it is not the first time something odd has happened here.

This comment says everything we need to know about you. It's as you say 'Sending me'

Carry on.

The fact that you bothered to comment on a thread you have no interest in is ‘sending me’

Now run along

Something strange legit just happened, I couldn't find my water bottle anywhere in my home. I thought it was on my desk or in the fridge - found it in the bedroom. Weird happening at home. How did my water bottle appear in the bedroom when I did not go in there?

Not my experience my dads but what he told me has always creeped me out, he said when they were young kids they lived in an old house which was prone to weird things. He said he was sitting in the living room one day and he saw what looked like a man crawling along the floor, he crawled out of the fireplace across the living room and disappeared through the opposite wall. In the same house him and his sister shared a room in bunk beds and he said they used to wake up in the night and there would be a man standing there dressed as a doctor just looking at them and then all of a sudden he’d just disappear

Not ghostly but I'm sure the universe is f**king with me at the moment. Eldest child lost their new school track top, walked through the door without it told me immediately they had left it in the cage at the school they had played at, not ideal but ok. I go in their wardrobe today and there hanging is a track top, new with tags attached (mine was tags removed, name in) child claims no knowledge of where this came from and I'm bewildered too .

I have a 5 pack of microfiber cloths for cleaning the windows, all different colours, they live in their own place. Today I have two white cloths, same label, identical, when I know before I had only one white. Losing my mind here .

I’d be getting someone in to see if there was a dead body in the chimney

i wonder if where they lived was the home of a dr or a cottage hospital at some point in the past?

 

[Allflightscancelled]

Someone I knew years ago owned a thatched cottage in South Warwickshire. It wasn’t selling so they got a medium in. (No it wouldn’t be my first idea of a solution either).

But anyway, this medium said the cottage had been used as a local hospital for recovering WWI soldiers, who were still wandering through from time to time, but they were completely benign. Friend said this made sort of sense, as she and her partner occasionally smelled pipe smoke at random times.

the medium also said the place would sell to someone they hadn’t met yet, within 3 weeks, so we were all waiting with interest. And that’s exactly what happened.

My parents house is haunted. When they had glass panel doors on the living room we'd see people walking upstairs. When I was in bed I'd feel someone sitting on the end of my bed just for a min like they were tucking me in, was weirdly comforting. Also one night my friend was in my house just us and the dog and we heard knocking coming from the bathroom. Quite impressive considering it was 6in thick concrete walls.

If I have a dream that my partner has left me and I'm all alone someone is going to die, I think it's the feeling of abandonment.

Before my gran died I hadn't seen her for 2 years and felt so guilty but I had a dream one night she was there and told me it was okay that I hadn't been and she was fine and with my papa again. Now I know it was just a dream but it really helped me.

Also as I was writing this and advert came on tv that used the music that I walked down the aisle to with my ex husband that my grans inheritance paid for.

I had a similar experience once in my old workplace (Dunelm) me & another manager were on a night shift setting up new section of bathroom anyway. Just the two of us & the department was on the bottom floor near the back of the store, directly above us was the warehouse & we were near the warehouse doors downstairs, just the two of us & all night we could hear some e running above us, doors would open, heard someone running down the back metal stairs everything. We never left each others side all night we were absolutely petrified by the time we were leaving.

When I was little I used to have the feeling of something sitting on my bed at night I never opened my eyes but it didn’t scare me but the house it happened in we left when I was 10 and I still have dreams about that house 50 years later.

Oh man that must’ve been terrifying.

Wouldn’t surprise me if tube stations had ghosts, they also think tube trains are responsible for time slips! I guess the electrical charges and currents possibly make the past reenact either as ghosts or time slips

There’s multiple plague pits down there some not even dug up the trains are diverted round some, over 50k people used them during the war so they will be crawling with activity. I’d love to spend the night there.
