Photo: Ghosts Photographed at Site of Hangings!

The photo above was taken at the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham.  A site used for imprisonment and executions from the middle ages till the Victorian era.  This site is considered one of the most haunted in the UK.

Christian Spice took this photo while on a guided tour with her partner Denyer:

We are both very spiritual people, and could sense quite a lot of spiritual presence around the building.

We went to visit the pits and immediately I became very agitated and sensed something really bad and evil.

I told Denyer I thought we should leave as it was affecting me. I could sense the danger and my breathing and heartbeat became faster – I felt very scared.

We could smell a musty, rotting smell and was very uncomfortable. I then became so freaked out that I ran out.

The feeling of evil was so overwhelming. Once outside we looked at the photo and could see a white glow like a huge threatening aura.

The picture also shows what appears to be two figures.  A tale “male figure” and a child in period dress.  The picture was taken with a cell phone camera.

Video: Poltergeist Activity

Here’s a collection of clips of poltergeist activity posted on YouTube.  Like many tapes of this sort, these could be relatively easily faked.  But we still find them compelling, and can’t find any obvious signs of fakery such as strings, signs of animation, etc..  The last clip is especially interesting.

Most Haunted House in America!

Scott Johnson at Dread Central has a great piece on the Winchester House.   Built by a member of the Winchester family (creators of the repeating rifle), it was actually designed to accomodate ghosts.  And, if reports are to be believed, it worked:

some believe that there are hundreds of displaced spirits still roaming the halls. Some place the number even higher. Most reports come in the form of phantom footsteps, unlocked doors, and cold spots, but there are a few that are stranger than most.

Here Johnson tells us about couple of the most famous apparitions:

The first is a worker with a dark moustache in white overalls, who is always seen pushing a wheelbarrow. Dozens have seen him and identified him from an old photograph that hangs in the gardener’s toolshed. The other appears to be Sarah Winchester herself, still walking the grounds, her dress black and her face covered by a black veil. While many ask if she’s part of the promotion of the house, no such person has ever been employed there.

Sounds like a fascinating place to visit.  Check out the house’s official website to learn more.

Photo: BBC Reporter Photographs Ghost!

From the BBC:

BBC journalist Chris Sandys has said he is at a loss to explain a mystery apparition that appeared on a photo.

Chris, 30, was photographing at the reputedly haunted Edward Jenner Museum in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, and captured the image on his camera.

“It was a bizarre formation of light showing a mystery figure in a doorway,” he said. “I am sure it was not caused by sunlight or dust in the air.

“I checked again and looked in the doorway but I could see nothing.”

He went on: “As a BBC employee I wouldn’t dare doctor an image or I would lose my job.”

Chris, who works for BBC Gloucestershire’s website, was photographing in an attic never before opened to the public.

Museum Director Sarah Parker said: “We are truly flabbergasted by the image.

“We have graffiti from soldiers previously billeted in the attic rooms from the 19th and 20th Century and perhaps this is one of them or even one of Jenner’s servants.

“We have always thought of the ‘ghosts’ as being metaphoric, but maybe we need to think again.”

The museum is dedicated to Dr Jenner, who lived in the house from 1785-1823.

It was from the Grade II listed building that he pioneered his world-changing vaccination against smallpox.

Tennessee Ghost Hunters Target Paranormal Hot Spots

From Sidelines Online:

Investigating the paranormal has become a popular hobby in the last decade. Shows like “Supernatural” and “Ghost Hunters” are entertaining to some viewers, but don’t exactly portray the real organizations and groups that investigate abnormal activities at historic landmarks.

Even though genuine groups are scarce in Tennessee, there is one group called the Tennessee Ghost Hunters that has been around for 13 years. Joanne Shelton, a day care director, says she founded the Tennessee Ghost Hunters after her daughter began college.

“I’ve always been interested in the paranormal, and my daughter just started college and we needed to get a computer, so the first thing I looked up was ghost hunting,” Shelton says. “There were about three groups in Tennessee, [and] I e-mailed all of them and only one replied back.

“He was this man from Hermitage and this was when this was just starting to get popular. He was mostly interested in the angel aspect of it and was about to move, so he turned it over to me.”

The group began going to places that were public, Shelton says, but then started looking at places on the Internet that were expected to have ghosts.

“We even went to out-of-state places like the Myrtle twice, which is in Louisiana,” Shelton says. “It is supposed to be the most haunted home in the United States. We’ve been to Gettysburg Battlefield, which is very haunted because so many deaths occurred there.

“We would go to the old Tennessee Prison, which was one of my favorite investigations. Once you get started, they [customers and locations] come to you, and you don’t have to seek places out.”

Shelton says that she has heard of instances where shows exploring haunted places tend to embellish and add their own effects instead of obtaining real evidence.

Singapore University Warns Students About Ghosts

From the Star Online:

THE National University of Singapore has put up a notice “warning” students of a headless woman ghost in the campus, reported Sin Chew Daily.

The signboard was spotted at the front of the university’s Federal Building of its Bukit Timah campus.

According to the notice, many people had “bumped” into the ghost in white wandering around the upper quadrant of the building.

It also gives information on other spirits.

The notice also talks about the sounds of Japanese soldiers marching up and down the corridors and lights being randomly switched on and off.

“There is also an elevator at the Zoology Department that operates on its own, which is operated by the ‘resident spirit’.

“Chairs and tables would be thrown about in classrooms according to students who study late into the night,” it reads.

A university spokesman said the signboard was one of nine along its Campus Heritage Trail that tell the history and major events reported in the campus in the past to help visitors know more about the university.

Asia Paranormal Investigators founder Charles Goh said the Zoology Department building had been taken over by the Faculty of Law and the haunted elevator no longer exists.
