My mother stayed in a house on a large corner plot. Bathroom facing on to the corner, so away from any other house. She’d had the place renovated from top to bottom and everything including the bathroom was fresh and new. She could always smell fresh cigarette smoke in the upstairs bathroom. Once she was friendly with neighbours she found out the old lady who lived there until she died used to tell her family she’d stopped smoking but would have a sneaky puff out of that bathroom window!

I’ve loved reading this thread, I haven’t posted on Tattle before I usually just read but I thought I would put my two pence in on this thread. I can’t say that I have had any paranormal experiences, none that I can remember anyway. However, I went to Durham Cathedral a few years ago with my friend , we used to go there occasionally as we both studied in Durham and were taking photos for our course, I was taking photos of the famous courtyard/hallway where part of Harry Potter was filmed and happened to capture this photo, I didn’t notice anything until I was looking back at the photos, I have circled in red, does anyone else see it? I will add that no one else was around as it was late evening and people usually visit in the day.

Yes, they do. Well the little boy that I saw certainly did look solid.
Oh that is spooky.
Spooky. I went on a first date in Durham and we walked through the cathedral and down that walkway
Looks like 2 people dancing xx
I’m going back about 15-20 or so years ago but can anyone remember the website SFOGS?
It was full of ghost stories and pictures of ghosts, orbs, mythical creatures and so on. I was only about 10 when it was popular but I used to love reading all the stories on there and looking at all the ghosts and orb photos. I was such a fearless child

I woke up to knocking during the night after a very lucid and scary dream. After reading previous posts on here I was spooked.
Me and my boyfriend went through a good few 6 months of vaping thc liquid. We would do it to sleep better but we done it constantly. I started getting a lot of sleep paralysis when I would smoke it, I rarely ever get it now but when I was smoking I got it constantly. I would be awake but couldn’t open my eyes and there would be a man outside of my door, I’ve never seen his face and he’s never got close enough to me to see him. He would say “I’ll get you one day” over and over again until I would open my eyes. When I eventually opened my eyes I would feel as if I was in a parallel universe and slip back into a deep sleep. Sometimes I would slip right back into the sleep paralysis. Luckily it hasn’t happened in a while but pray for me🥲🥲🥲
anyone seen the Netflix series surviving death? a lot of you on here would like it!
I absolutely love reading these encounters, spooky and yet very intriguing.
I have a few encounters of my own so here's one of them that will stay with me for a lifetime.
I was 15 or 16 at the time laying in bed in that half awake, half asleep state just nodding back off. I heard the landing creak as it often did when my mother walked down it to go to the bathroom. However the footsteps came to a halt right outside my bedroom door. I was laid facing the wall, away from the door. I laid there listening for what seemed like forever and started to hear the door being opened, pushing and scraping against the carpet. I thought nothing of it at first because I just assumed it was my mother sticking her head around to see if I'm awake as I often struggled with insomnia and had many sleepless nights. She didn't say anything and I again assumed she thought I was asleep and left, albeit with the door now wide open. I started to nod back off again and then was jolted awake by the sound of small, shuffling footsteps coming into my room. As if they were very small feet, wearing slippers, slowing making their way in the dark of the room as to not trip or fall over anything. I laid completely frozen. The footsteps stopped right beside the bed. All I could picture in my mind was a black-eyed demon child watching me as I 'slept'. Time seemed to stretch on forever and the silence was deafening at that point. I was just laid there, waiting for something to happen. And happen it did. The bed compressed behind me, as if someone small had leaned on it. I even rolled backwards slightly. And then a small hand tapped my back three times and a child's voice said "mommy?"
I have never leapt out of bed so fast in all my life. I made it from laying down in my bed over to the light switch in seconds. I flipped the light on and... nothing. Just me and an empty room.
I didn't sleep that night and stayed in the living room with the TV and the lights on.
I'm seldom scared and will often roll over and go back to sleep if I hear a weird, out of place, noise. I've had so many experiences and run-ins with the paranormal it doesn't bother me anymore. And I'm more than happy living in harmony and peace with whatever and whoever also wants to reside alongside me in the house. But I draw the line at being touched.

Going to re read this thread 
Anyone been watching Surviving Death on Netflix?
I’m a few episodes in, it’s quite a slog but some of it is quite spooky. The Polaroid photos
The medium stuff is all bull in my opinion.

Not a ghost story but something spiritual...
My grandparent who I was extremely close to passed away last week. I was with her until the end.
I’ve been extremely upset every day and last night I had a dream that was as vivid as anything.
I dreamt I was back in the same situation as when she passed, the curtains around the bed were closed and I walked away after saying goodbye, very upset. I was then called back (in the dream it felt like a few days) by someone saying ‘your nana’s back..she’s asked us to open up the curtains’ and in shock I walked back over to where the bed was, hospital curtains drawn open and she was sat up in the chair with the bed made, she was looking at me dead on as though she was waiting for me, she was smiling and waving in the exact way she used to wave - she had colour in her face again, her hair was done up and she had an energy around her of wellness, peace and happiness. In the dream i was in shock and asking her what’s going on as it felt like she was resurrected and it felt so real and she just told me her brother had helped her. Her tone was her exact way of being - ‘pick yourself up and carry on’.
When i woke up I got really emotional and felt like it was my nana letting me know she’s ok, she’s at peace and no longer suffering. She had two brothers who passed away before her - maybe one of them was helping her connect with me to let me know she was ok and to stop worrying.
The last thing I said to her when she passed was ‘see you in my dreams nana, I love you’ as I kissed her head.

Some great ghost stories here. I've been waiting to find a thread about this on here. For many years I was part of a team that investigate haunted buildings. We were a team of six and well balanced between the believers and non-believers. I am a believer and have had a fair share of spooky experiences over the years and as someone who investigates such things I often get asked what is the scariest thing to happen.
We were told by another team about a location on the south side of Edinburgh. It was an underground series of tunnels - although not part of the Edinburgh Vaults. I used to do the history research for the team and it was such a strange place with some really dark stuff having gone on in the past. When we arrived I was amazed that the staff basically said that they weren't going to be hanging around - normally there is a member of staff stay on site for H&S reasons but in this case they couldn't get away quick enough. They left us a key and told us to lock up before we left.
The investigation progressed as usual, walkarounds, listening to what the psychic could pick up and so on and we decided to stick together for a bit as it wasn't a very big place. One of the caves many uses had been as a bar and there was these booths carved out of stone so we sat at one of them and it was at the very back of the caves. There was one way in and one way out which was down a set of metal steps. It wasn't the most thrilling of investigations up until that point and I was beginning to get a bit bored being honest. The place was said to be linked to the Knights Templar and we were having a discussion about it when suddenly something rushed at us. You could hear the footsteps crashing down the metal steps and along the cave at such a great speed and it stopped just behind me. I went into full Yvette Fielding mode and actually ended up on top of the rest of the team and if I could have crashed through the wall to get out I would have. The person opposite me said that it was a dark figure.
I was thrown for the rest of the night and if I could have I would have just left. I don't think I've ever been so frightened in all the years I have done this and I still don't really know why it scared me so much, I don't know if it was the speed of it happening or what, I don't know. Even thinking logically I can't think of what it could have been. We were underground and could hear traffic above us at certain times but it hadn't been like that and it certainly wasn't rigged by the location as I'm sure it would have flagged up from other teams that we were all getting the same thing. It was such a talking point within the team when we were next in the area we decided to face our demons as it were and go back for a tour during the day. I got as far as those metal steps and had to walk away. Next time I won't be so lucky - we have decided to go back post lockdown for round 2.

My mum has seen some ghostly shapes of loved ones, she said it looked like looking through steam from a cooking pot.
