List some of the paranormal things you've heard about or experienced.

  • I've heard that a silver bullet can kill a vampire as well as a wolf.
  • Ghost: A drunk man fell of his horse into a pond. His ghost can be seen rising from the pond he drowned in.
  • I'm not bothering with lady in white hitchhiker stories.
  • Ghost: Of course there's the Myrtle Plantation. Chloe, as one version of the story goes, was a house slave. She eavesdropped too much and had an ear severed. For some reason she decided to put poison in the food of her master's family. Only the male head of the family survived. It may have been for revenge, but another possibility is an attempt at endearment with the family by caring for them through the illness the poison would cause, had not too much been put in their food. Later, she was hung by other slaves.
  • Ghost: There are the ghosts of two men who are doomed to play cards until doomsday. Fyvie castle in Scotland is where this story is from, if I remember correctly. The men would not stop playing for the Sabbath.
  • Ghost: What may be one of the most famous ghosts is the elemental of Leap (pronounced lep) castle. This kind of ghost is said to be very evil. In the castle, a religious man was killed by one of his relatives.
  • Ghost: There's a ghost on the Rhine, a monk who was given a cross by an Apostle that he used to send the Devil back to Hell and save a queen or princess from marrying him. Forchtenstein, or something.
  • There's the ghost of a former slaughter house, now bar. A women was decapitated in the late 19th C. by Satanists; her head was never found.
  • There's a Bagpiper that still plays at a Scottih castle. I forgot why.
  • There's the Ghost of the woman in blue that searches for her lover. She died in an automobile accident.

I promise to be honest. Please breifly describe a ghost story and I will tell you if I've heard of it before.

What about "The Flying Dutchman"? You know, the ship that supposed to be wandering around the ocean scaring up some folks into posting its existence on internet sites?
 
I've also heard of the Mary Celeste, though I'm not sure if there's a ghost connected with it.

Yea, thats the ship that was found drifting around stocked up to the hilt, sans crew. 10/10 for the chumps who found it and then let it sail on its way.

I also hear of the ship that had a worker sealed up in its bows when it was built. The passenger heard a banging that was just the fella trying to alert someone to his presence, but they thought the ship was haunted, so they sunk it.
 
Want something really interesting? Not once did I think about Holloween as I was creating this thread.
 
I've heard of that story. It might be the queen mary. There's a similar, if not the same story, there too.

*shrug* its friday, it allowed by law.


Edit: Law 12, subsection 18, paragraph 567, subsection 8a of the Registrar of Cynics says I decide who the law applies to - so that doesnt mean if any newbs read my post that they have an excuse. :D
 
The thing where you shout "Bloody Mary" into a mirror, 12 times. She'll kill you!

Lucifer/Satan/WhoEverThe****Ever lives behind mirrors, so you don't want to be looking into them too much.
 
Here Goes:
Shelburne Vt -Wake Robin.
Wake Robin is a nursing home, and in room 229 there is a ghost there. There was a lady who used to stay in that room. Before she died, she told the nurses that she would come back to haunt them. She said that she would ring the bell and haunt them. There are also two more down stairs. They are a couple who occasionally hit the bell to the elevator and run up and down the hallways. I worked for the architecture company that designed this center. My wife used to live less than a half mile from it.

Northfield-Norwich University-
In Alumni Hall, one of the dorms, a cadet hanged himself a few years back. A couple years later, his brother went to Norwich, got the same room, and hanged himself too. Now the room is boarded off. This is where I went to college. Additionally, the Architecture building has been long rumored to be haunted by Alden Partridge one of the schools founder. He's been witnessed standing in the windows overlooking the parade grounds for nearly 100 years. Before it was the architecture building it was a library. Often witnessed were book flying off shelves and disembodied voices.

Northfield - Norwich University
Hawkins Hall & Ransom Hall - Cadets have reported that during the night they wake out a sound sleep unable to move, scream and find it very difficult to breathe.

Northfield - Norwich University
Sabine Field - The gate to the football field is often guarded by an unseen cadet. People have heard his haunting footsteps.

I myself have never encountered anything that I could remotely consider paranormal. My wife on the other hand has had multiple run-ins. Hence why sh ewants to have a cat around. Seems she sleeps better with one to gaurd her at night.

A good friends parents live in Watertown, Mass. In the 30 years that they've lived there, they've documented myriad cases of paranormal activity. The house is near 250 years old, and has had 3 murders (documented in police and newspaper records) in it. In one of the rooms upstairs, men can't sleep there. The covers are pulled off the bed and constant prodding and poking make it impossible to sleep there. Women sleep fine in the room, but the men can't. They've had issued with dogs and that room as well. Family pets dying in the middle of the night in that room. They've also had a few sightings.

Interesting tidbits of history.

I've not heard of Satan living behind mirrors, but I have heard of Boody Mary. I forgot who bloody marry was based on. The woman who killed girls so that she could bathe in their blood comes to mind. I think her name was Elisabeth Bathory. Or something. There may be two women guilty of that. One or both were put in sealed rooms.
 
Sheffield (UK) has several old buildings in the city that are supposed to be haunted by Mary Queen of Scots. From 1570 - 1584 she was held in Sheffield; and is said to be seen still at: the Manor Lodge, Queens Tower, Sheffield Castle and Lees Hall. There is said to be underground tunnels linking many of these places that she still wanders through.:eek:

This is just one of many ghosts, sheffield has quite alot of supposed haunted places.
 
I'm not sure about Mary's ghost. It's her or one of Henry the 8ths wives whom holds her own head.
 
Britain, haunting capital.

There are the two princess of the tower.

There are the Edinburgh ghosts of the Black Death.

There's the ghost of the scorned queen who scratched her name on a window sill several stories up. I think the name was D. Lillias Drummond. I'm not sure.

There's the ghost of the women whose seen praying before she's sent off to be burned for witchcraft.

In France, the ghost of a man in armor can be heard.

Of course there's the Winchester house.
 
Oh yeah, I think she did died in prison. If I remember correctly, Mary grew up in France, was forced out of Scotland 1-3 times. An advisor of Queen Elisabeth I convinced her, after sometime, of the need to remove Mary. Mary, a Catholic was a potential threat, though I'm not sure how threatening she was to the English throne. Mary's lover was murdered, and there were some bombings done. I don't remember all of it. Pretty sketchy.
 
I don't know the different dates, but she didn't die in Sheffield, and the castle was obviously destroyed some years later then! I wouldn't mind finding out more about the history - it's pretty interesting to think all that happened in the area i grew up in!!
 
There is also a place in Cornwall (one of many i expect) Lostwithiel that is haunted - Braddock Down saw Cromwell's army suffer a rare defeat on 19 Jan 1643 and ever since, on the anniversary of that battle, the thunder of horses' hooves have been reported to echo mysteriously about the battle area and there are those who have caught a glimpse of war-weary soldiers, Roundheads and Royalists, disappearing into the wintry gloom!!
