So I’m currently just in my parents house right now and this thread reminded me of something.
the photo I inserted below is something that my older sister made when she was around 5. It’s been hanging on our kitchen window for the past 20 odd years or so. As you can see a lot of the bits have broken off due to it falling down. It would only fall down on really special days like Christmas or most often my mums birthday.
One day my sister turned around as if something had touched her, the same time the thing fell off. She described it as being a really icy feel.
My mum always believes it’s her dad as he died when she was 18.
My parents house is opposite to a very old 16th century castle which has now been converted into flats. When I was younger my grandmother was looking after me and I remember seeing a bat in my bedroom, we’d actually have bats in a lot of the rooms in our house (no nest anywhere from what we were told) we would also have floorboards creaking, lights being turned on and off, the radio turning on. Now my parents are probably the most logical, cynical, completely in religious people ever. However, they decided to call in a priest and he “blessed” our house. After that, the bats stopped coming in, the lights and radio were fine. I’m sure that there is a very logical explanation to everything I just said but I always found it so intriguing

I've watched a really good programme on You Tube called Ghosts on The Underground about the one in London. This is really creepy and I recommend watching it.
I worked somewhere with a six floor office building that was around 20 years old at the time. The cleaners refused to clean the top floor loos and showers alone due to all the noise of people talking and showering when it was empty.
I've lived in two houses with weird activity, one was an old boarding house where the taps would sometimes turn on and it would take a few turns to get the water to stop. I was ok with the little things like that but one morning the bathroom appeared to fill with mist/smoke when my housemate was drying her hair. Also the room I stayed in had a manhole up to the roof and every morning it would be pushed to the side and I'd have to get one of the boys to push it back. I ended up moving into another roomWe got hold of a psychic cleanser (?)
and she did a sage burning and holy water thing throughout the house. It worked, we had no more taps turning on and no more feeling like someone was just behind you.

That sounds so creepy, especially disembodied voices. Did you have any experiences ?
The weird things I experienced at Aradale Asylum - this was in 2014 so I've forgotten a bit.
The first thing we did was go to the mortuary, it still has some fixtures in it. Two of my friends went one at a time into one of the body freezers. They both said that they felt a pulling sensation on their right foot.
We got to use some 'ghost-hunting' tools, EMF readers and temperature gauges. One corner in the women's ward was at least 5 degrees colder than the rest of the room. So weird!
One of the girls on the tour said she was psychic and kept seeing a little boy. That was bull, lmao. No kids there, she was just a drama queen.
The men's ward was the creepiest, my friend and I both got a really bad stomach ache the second we walked in. It was so bad we had to get the tour guide to take us to the loo so my friend could have a poo! I had a great time hunting ghosties .

There's a cool 20 part series on YouTube hidden somewhere of English ghost stories. On one of the early episodes, they talk about the old Freeman catalogue headquarters in London that has now been demolished and made into flats. A woman was working late on her own in the building and went to the loo and infront of her walking to the toilets also was a blonde woman who wasn't holding the door open and walking silently. Eventually the woman gets to the toilets and this blonde woman that seemed to enter the toilets is nowhere to be seen but when she goes in the toilets all of the taps turn on at the same time and she finds out that the Freeman headquarters was bombed or held people seeking shelter during the war and a couple of women died. The lady was trying to acknowledge the woman saying "hello" or something along those lines and she wouldn't turn around or face her. It was very eerie.
Here's the link;

Oooo I love stuff like this got to admit I love watching most haunted on YouTube certainly the more recent stuff and I'm all upto date with it so might have to give this a go.
It's a really good little series of firsthand accounts. The episodes aren't long, either
Not there but I did in another workplace when I worked as police staff; even senior officers just accepted the hauntings as part and parcel of working there.
At the same workplace, the building next to the six storey building was a bit older and only three stories. One evening, my line manager was working late around an hour after lowsing time. She was at the photocopier by the door of her office when a guy came in, perfectly ordinary with overalls, hard hat and workboots, just like 90% of the blokes working there. He didn't say anything but walked around the corner of the large metal cupboards to where the desks were and out of her sight. She followed him round to say that she was the only person in the office but he wasn't there. The only way out was past her. Third floor and no windows were unlocked. Mind you, we did know that there had been various deaths over the century the place had been operating, not unexpected in heavy industry.
I’ll watch all these and then completely regret it when I wake up in the middle of the night for a wee and I’m too scared to get out of bed

I have been loving this thread. I am absolutely obsessed with the paranormal. I’ve haven’t seen anything but I’ve had some weird experiences that weren’t entirely explainable.
About 12 years ago I came back into the house after being out with my friend for the day. I got in around 4pm and none of my family were home (I lived with my parents and my brother at this time). On days when my mum worked I made the dinner so first thing I done when I got home was put the oven on to heat up. I then went up to my room to put my bag in, when I left the bedroom I shut the door behind, like completely closed over, I always did. As I started walking downstairs I heard a noise as if the door was opening again. I stopped halfway down and assumed I was hearing things but nosiness got the better of me and I went to look. When I got to the top of stairs I noticed my door was slightly open. Now this door was totally shut over, I had almost slammed it when I went out the room and there was no windows open up the stairs. So, although slightly freaked out, I shut the door over and walked downstairs again. Heard the door open again but I would be damned if I was heading back up haha. I hurried down the stairs but as I went to turn into the hallway I got this totally freezing feeling all over my body, it was a boiling hot day outside. My hair on my arms were stood up and I had goosebumps, as I walked towards the kitchen I felt something pull my ponytail. I ran into the living room shut the door and sat until my mum came home

I’ve commented my experiences on this thread a while ago but recently I felt someone touch my shoulder as I stood over the bathroom sink. There was no one there. I don’t think my house is haunted I think it was just a spirit letting me know they were there. I didn’t feel scared. It was only a gentle touch.
I'm guilty of doing that myselfI’ll watch all these and then completely regret it when I wake up in the middle of the night for a wee and I’m too scared to get out of bed
Thanks for your stories!
That sounds so weird how normal and solid he looked, but to be honest I'd rather experience it that way where I saw someone and didn't realise at the time they weren't an actual person. It's happened to me before.
Police stations seem to be the hotspot of hauntings, I bet lots of things went on there that your colleagues experienced.
When I moved in to my first flat with my eldest who was 1, she used to tell me she could see a man in the corner of her bedroom with a tall hat on. Things also used to go missing, eg, I lost my driving license. Looked everywhere. Ordered a new one, and months later, it was just sitting on the windowsill. After we moved out, I found the new people who lived there didn’t stay long, as they had things constantly thrown off the walls. Glad I left him there!
Also, when I was younger, I used to live in a house I was petrified of. I don’t think I ever experienced anything, but I was so scared of it. When my nan died a couple of years ago, I was talking to an aunt who had bought the house from us. She was saying how haunted it was, which made me well up as my mum never believed me!! My aunt once saw someone up at my brothers old window from outside. My mum then confessed that she saw something standing next to her bed when my dad was away. She thought it was him, but he obviously wasn’t there!
Oh, my aunt also rented the house out after they moved. Apparently the people she rented to had a dog, who ripped up one of the rooms
so scary

So you have one who pinches things like mine does! Once he nicked my husband's work belt but with so much moaning bought him a new one, then a few days later I was putting some stuff into the storage room there was said belt in a neat coil sitting on the seat of an old chair! I'd not been in that room for ages so its not like I'd picked the belt up and inadvertantly let it there and OH certainly would not have tidied up his own junk because he never does, however this does not happen all the time though, just every-so-often something will disappear then I'll drive myself nuts looking for it for a few days after which back it comes again. Incidentally, my bloke has a name - my son who saw him and listened to his bedtime stories told me his name so he is always referred to by that; He's part of the FamilyWhen I moved in to my first flat with my eldest who was 1, she used to tell me she could see a man in the corner of her bedroom with a tall hat on.

My mother was packing for holidays one year and couldn’t find these stupid looking shoes she always took away for the beach/pool. They were plastic things with a massive flower on the front. She turned her flat upside down and accused me of pinching them. No chance, we don’t even have the same size feet
When she returned from that holiday they were sitting neatly right on the middle of her bed. Her flat had been locked up while she was away and nobody else would have been in.
Ages after she was at a psychic who told her your Grandfather is still laughing about hiding your silly shoes.
Her grandad died in the 60s. This would have been the 80s.

Just remembered I have another one! We moved into a rental property for 6 months when I was younger, and my bedroom had this weird built in cupboard that started like 3 foot off the ground? So it just had a door like half way up the wall. My mum came into my room one night because I was screaming and apparently I was backed right up to the wall just looking in horror at the cupboard, and the door to it was wide open - we always made sure it was closed and it was an old house so it was a bit of an effort to open it, it wouldn’t have just opened because of a draft or something.
I don’t remember this event at all but it had quite an effect on my mum and we moved out of that place after 6 months.
Should also note that due to my job, I’m around dead bodies quite a lot. In fact, on super busy days, I used to go and eat my lunch in the mortuary just for some peace and quiet, whilst I was filling out my death certificate/cremation forms paperwork. So absolutely not spooked by death, and I have a very science-proved-only view of the world. But I do believe that there’s some kind of level of paranormal around and I find it so interesting.
