Have you ever seen a Ghost

alanthemanc

My local pub dates from way back, and a bridge opposite is famous locally, for being the spot where a Cavalier fought with a Roundhead to the death the 1700's or around that era.
Anyway, inside the pub, I noticed that a high chair was always empty, and nobody would sit in it. The Landlord told me the chair moves and wobbles when nobody is sat in it...... so I watched, and watched for an hour, to see the Ghost of the Laughing Cavalier myself........nothing.
I got chatting to the barmaid, and she said she was pushed downstairs the week before when changing a barrel, and she also showed me the brass, copper pans, and plates hanging from the beams swaying for no reason on her mobile. Have you seen, or thought you'd seen a Ghost, Alan

Hi there, hope you don't mind me asking, but where abouts is this pub?
I believe in ghosts and things like that.

I have never actually seen a ghost but I have certainly felt the presence and seen proof several times. I am not a 'nervy' person am very down to earth. I belive there must be something after death but I don't know and wold not even try to guess what. Don't know if it is relevant but do not know if I belive in the idea of one god.

I am somewhat of a sceptic still, but my friend has had an expeirence which is pretty strange.

Every year, he visits a memorial on the date of where an accident happened in the war with some planes, and the Legion etc go too. One year, he took a photo, and there were these myseterious orby foggy things around the memorial, in one photo almost the outline of a man. We thought it was tosh and probably a camera fault (despite them only appearing on three specfic frames in the camera).

HOWEVER

The following year, he went back, different camera (this time digital), and THE SAME orby thingies came up again, but only in a few of the pictures. Even I have to admit, it’s a bit strange.

I often feel ‘a presence’ in places, but am not sure if that’s just my own paranoia!

It is in the M245SE area , Ring O Bells, New Lane, Middleton. Mc/r
It is a very, historical 200yds square area that is quite interesting.
Opposite is the Norman, St Leonards Church... circa 1200 a.d.
In the graveyard are gravestones with a skull and crossbones on them, which indicates that they died from the Great Plague.
The Old Boars Head, 100 yrds down the hill is even more historic, a very , very old building 1400, once a court house where people were sentenced to death, and where highwaymen stayed overnight to York, ala Dick Turpin etc
Rehab... sort of agree with you, but that graveyard is the most scary place I've ever been to. Alanthemanc

I am a member of www.ghostvigils.com and we are regularly going on ghost hunts.

Recently we went to the ruins of a local house where one of the main battles of the english civil war took place. While walking around there we could smell burning although there was nothing there that was burning and we also could taste gun powder.

We are going to the Ancient Ram in Gloucestershire, and we have quite a lot of different events each year. It would be interesting to investigate somewhere different. We often speak to spirits and see or sense them with us. It is really a passion for us.

I can't say I'm that into that side of it, but I'm interested on a historical point of view.
An interesting book knocking about is called " Haunted Pubs of Great Britain " or something like that. The Ring O Bells is listed in that.
On another point, the three buildings are linked by an ancient tunnel about 200 yards long, very odd.

Hi there Rehab, I do have to agree with you that these programmes are so fake as are a hell of oa lot of other things but I still believe there is a percentage that can't be explained.

Jacki, My Hubby is working alongside some of the groups down this way, he's in the process of making camera's to use on hunts at the moment. Not so much that he believes, that he can show that lots are fake.

My 17 year old niece claims her bedroom is haunted by the ghost of a little boy aged about 8 years old. He wakes her in the night by shaking her and calls her name. At the moment she refuses to sleep in her bedroom.

When I last visited we were in this room and I was showing her something on her PC and in the opposite corner of the room my great-nephew's wind up musical toy started playing and yet no one was near it :shock: :shock: :shock:

How did that happen?

I do not believe in the afterlife in any shape or form However,in the turkish half of famagusta in a place called Othello's castle I am convinced I saw a man dressed in Tudor or Elizabathan costume for a brief instant.It could have been a trick of the mind or imagination But I saw what I saw!! :evil :evil :evil
