Fisherman’s Stories : 5 Paranormal Tales From the Anglers Mouth

There is something appealing about sitting in a boat, in the middle of a misty lake, isolated from the outside world. Miles away from society and a place to think and be peaceful. It all sounds great but there have been some encounters from these lone fishermen. What do you do if you know you are alone but you turn around and see someone else in the boat with you ?… This is a small collection of the creepiest fisherman encounters. 

 

The Scream

 My cousin and I were fishing late at night. We decided to go around 9:00 PM since that’s when it’s the best time for us to get a bite. We got to our spot and there was nothing but the two of us, the lake and your normal chirp-chirp or some other random animal sounds, which we were used to. About 30 minutes into our peaceful night of fishing, suddenly things went quiet – if you have ever gone to “our spot,” you know that just does not happen. We didn’t say anything and we kept on with our night, but suddenly there was a loud screaming sound coming from behind us. I turned to look at my cousin – by this time his face was pale and we asked out loud at the same time, “Did you hear that?” “Yes, I did. What was it?” “I don’t know, I’ve never heard that before.”

As much as we both tried to ignore it, we kept alert but then it passed and after about an hour or so we had forgotten about the incident. We didn’t catch much so we decided to pack up and call it a night. When we were headed back to our truck, we started hearing rustling leaves behind us. We turned around (thinking it was an animal) but nothing was there. We kept on and right as we were about to hop in our truck, a woman appeared right in front of us (a few feet away). She looked dirty and a little beat up with some blood stains on what seemed to be a nightgown of some sort.

We shouted, “Are you ok? Do you need help?”

She continues to stare at us. Then the shrieking scream we had heard before came out of her mouth. My cousin and I were petrified and got into the car and drove off, haven’t gone to “our spot” ever since. We have never told anyone what happened but I can still hear that scream from time to time.  – Eddie G

 

The Medium

My two buddies from the war and I go about twice a year on a weekend long fishing trip. We catch up on our lives, rent a cabin, the usual. But this year happened to be that one of my buddies was sick so when I told my other friend about it, he told me that his cousin was in town and that he could fill in. So we took off to our spot.

Once we got there, it was late in the afternoon but we had enough time to set up our gear and head down to the boondocks. Among some of the things we take with us, there’s a weather/emergency radio in case of an emergency. We set it up on any FM frequency and chill out till we catch something.

Between us talking and getting to know more about my friend’s cousin, the radio started to make a crackling sound (which it had never done before). Then the radio mysteriously switched from FM to AM, which I thought was weird since it has a little button on the side that you need to press in order to change it. We called it a night but my friend’s cousin looked distracted; he kept looking at the lake and smiling and there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

When we got to the cabin, we headed towards the kitchen because we heard a loud noise. All the dishes had been thrown to the floor and my radio was still making the same strange sound. My buddy’s cousin comes up to me and tells me:

“Don’t worry, it’s the spirit of the man who lives here. He just doesn’t like you guys coming here.”

I looked at him puzzled and my friend later explained to me that he’s a medium, I’m not much of a believer but now things have changed.

The Wreckers

Back in the colonial days, there were people called ‘wreckers.’ They would stand on beaches with lanterns and trick ships into running aground and then loot the ship and kill anyone who survived on the beach. They’d then drag their bodies back to the water to make it look like a normal shipwreck.

Well, one night on East Beach in Rhode Island, I was fishing with my father and as we got down to the beach we saw some odd drag marks in the sand. After about a half hour of casting, we made our way back to the truck and as we hit the parking lot, our German Shepard started acting really weird.

We were loading up the truck with our gear when we saw a light coming out of the dunes. As we got a good look, we saw it was an old 17th or 18th-century lantern. We then saw two more lights and four people walked out wearing colonial clothes. At that point, we just threw everything in the truck, picked up our now growling dog, and blasted out of there.

As we pulled out, our lights went right over the people and we saw they were wearing ratty colonial style clothes. It really freaked us out. – Stripers Online

 

The German Soldier

Only once when I was fishing did I have a ghostly experience, and that was when I was fishing at a lake in France. I’d been there for a couple of days, and my time was really nice and peaceful. There was an old château nearby riddled with bullet holes from the Second World War. Anyway, this lake is on a French Army training area so it was pretty secluded. During the late afternoons, I had the feeling of being watched from the woods at the far end of the lake. Each day, at the same time, the feeling would return, usually around dusk, and from different areas, as if whatever it was was getting closer.

I remember waking on the last night of my trip. Outside the bivy, it was very foggy and I could hardly see the dim glow of my bite alarms. I decided to make a brew, and as I flicked on the lighter the sparks silhouetted the face of a helmeted German soldier peering into my bivy from the darkness outside.

The next morning I packed up and went home but not before speaking to an old French Estate Warden who told me that the château had seen some fierce fighting when the Americans liberated that area of France. The Germans had fled into the woods only to be ambushed by a patrol in reserve. They were all killed and buried around the lake. I don’t think I’ll fish there again. – Stripers Online

 

Perfume

My buddy and I were fishing at a certain fort in Jamestown, RI one night, soaking bait. At one point, my buddy decided to walk to the boat dock about 50 yards away. The whole walk there he said he sensed someone behind him and heard footsteps. He thought I was walking with him, but when he turned around he was alone. He said it creeped him out pretty bad and he never went back to that spot with me. Now flash forward to next summer. I decided to fish this spot by myself. I had completely forgotten about my friend’s experience. I got to the dock and unloaded everything and started to soak some bait. It was a clear, moonless night with no wind or breeze.

I had completely forgotten about my friend’s experience. I got to the dock and unloaded everything and started to soak some bait. It was a clear, moonless night with no wind or breeze.

About a half hour into watching my rod, I started to smell perfume around me. I thought it was pretty weird since I was the only one there. The smell kept getting stronger and stronger, so I walked about 10 feet to my right and the smell disappeared. I walked back to my original spot, and the perfume smell was still there, stronger than ever. It was strong to the point that my nose started to burn. At that point, I said, “where the hell is this smell coming from?” Soon after I said that the smell disappeared. That’s when I packed up and left. I’ve never been back to that spot.

The Ghost Diaries 

The Hell Hounds of Dartmoor Cornwall

The Hellhounds of Dartmoor have been in Cornish myth for hundreds of years. These spectral Dogs are said to roam the moor with thick black fur and blood red eyes. Recently in 2007 a video was captured ( Below ) as well as a few photos ( Further Down ) in which you can see what they claim to be the beast of Dartmoor, but to be honest it looks more like a rather large rabbit… 

 

 The beasts roaming the moor have been feared by farmers for generations. They have, for sure, been something of a local myth with a tonne of blurry pictures provided as evidence. However, there has been some evidence that surfaced back in 2007. 

 

July 2007

During July 2007 there was a group of school children out for a trip in the Moore. Seen only yards away from the group in Hound Tor on Dartmoor, but most intriguingly they actually captured an image ! They described the beast as larger than life with a thick, shaggy coat, rounded ears and huge front limbs, powerful enough to tear a human to shreds. 

dartmoor-hellhound2

 

Falconer Martin Whitley, who photographed the creature, said: “It was walking along a path about 200 yards away from me.

“It was black and grey and comparable in size to a miniature pony. It had very thick shoulders, a long, thick tail with a blunt end and small round ears.

“Its movements appeared feline, then bear-like sprang to mind. There was a party climbing on the tor opposite making a racket but it ignored them completely.”

Some experts have said it is just a wild dog or cat, some of the crazier ones did say it could be a bear or a wolverine. If anyone has read anything up on the Beast of Bodmin Moore recently you will find that there where wild Jaguars filmed by a sports centre down there !!! These jaguars were supposed to be escaped exotic pets. Take a look at another shot of a beast caught on the Moore.

hellhound-of-dartmoor3

 

This animal is completely different, it almost looks like a bison but there again its legs are more like that of a hare… Whatever it is, it’s creating a story, creating something that the world is forced to take a second look at.

The Bodmin Moor

 

The Hellhounds of Dartmoor

During the 1800’s spiritualism and ghosts on a whole were crazy popular. They loved anything to do with ghost hunting or mediumship. So when rumour hit of a pack of spectral dogs, known locally as the Whist Hounds or Hound’s of Hell, were roaming the moor they went nuts. It inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of Baskervilles. He was Inspired by a local enthusiast called Richard Cabell from Brook Manor. 

Richard was rumoured to have sold his soul to the Devil and after he died a phantom pack of spectral hunting dogs with glowing red eyes were said to have been released on the Moor at night. They have been witnessed howling at his tomb. Legend has it that as part of his contract the dogs were allowed to roam the Moor and in return he was gifted with wealth, hence the manor house. Funny how the the link of English lords and deals with demonic forces seem to keep cropping up in history…

The founder of the national research network Big Cats in Britain, Mark Fraser, said: “It looks like a wolverine or a bear in some shots and a big wild dog in others. It is a very strange animal.”

Mr Whitley is adamant that the creature is not a wild dog.

He added: “I have worked with dogs all my life and it was definitely not that.

“I have seen a collie-sized black cat in the area about ten years ago and it was not that – this was a lot bigger.

“You would be surprised at the number of people who have seen black big cats and something resembling a small bear in the area over the course of the years.”

Disappointingly for those who possess a vivid imagination, the most likely explanation yesterday was that the Beast is nothing more supernatural than a large and hairy wild boar.

North Devon farmer Al Dedames lost more than 100 of his stock of boar in December 2005 when animal rights activists raided his farm and destroyed fencing.

Since then, more than half are thought to have died in road traffic accidents or been shot by farmers or hunters.

But those which survived have bred and up to 175 are said to be roaming the wilds of Devon and Somerset.


Is this more than just some escaped dogs ? Is this really a follow up from the Devil’s promise ? That’s for you, our most awesome readers to decide.

Meet Mandy, One of the World´s Most Haunted Dolls

Haunted Dolls are a huge, growing trend within the ghostly part of the world at the moment and people just can’t get enough.  Thanks to movies like the Conjuring the whole world is aware of Annabelle the doll, and then Robert the doll. But these guys have been hogging all the limelight and other dolls, perhaps many of them are just as frightening. Including Mandy the doll.

 

 

The Origin Story 

Mandy is an old doll that was made in Germany roughly between 1919-1920. She was donated to the Quesnel Museum, Canada in 1991 after a string of events that drove her owners to the point of insanity. 

The owner said she would hear the sound of a little girl crying coming from the basement most nights. When she went to look, there would be no child, just an open window and mandy staring right at here…

It did not take long for Mandy to be donated to the museum where she did stop crying but after a while, strange things began to happen to the staff. Lunches began disappearing from fridges and be found somewhere else, artifacts from the museum would vanish from their display cabinets and end up in a different one, beneath the previously locked glass. 

Perhaps the most disturbing of all was the footsteps. Staff would only hear these ghostly footsteps when they were alone, they would begin slow and distant but then they  would speed up and sound like they’re coming towards you. ” The faster i ran, the faster she would chase me”. 

This was all terrifying but the real haunting began when they tried to place mandy next to the other dolls in the musuem.

Mandy’s at the Museum

 The Moving of objects and the footsteps were just the beginning, soon Mandy grew restless. She was not given a permanent place for a while because it seemed that she was not happy with any of her former placements. At first, she was placed in the front window, facing all of the visitors. She was quickly removed after people began to complain of headaches after looking at her, followed by disturbing nightmares of Mandy watching or harming them in their sleep. 

So naturally they moved her. They placed her in a section with some other antique dolls, but that was a mistake. They came back to find the majority of the other dolls torn up and destroyed. But on top of that, she refused to be alone. Staff found papers scattered across the room that she had been locked in as if she was throwing a tantrum. 

She also had a certain fondness for messing with the museum’s electronics, causing them to malfunction. She also made the staff feel inexplicably sad and anxious. Some of them even reported that her eyes moved to follow them. 

As the time of Mandy’s stay here increased so did her presence.  Her little lamb toy began to move by itself, some even saw it “gliding across the room” to be sat in a different spot. Then the staff began to have nightmares of her, a lot of them even quit. 

Not a lot is known about this dolls history, there is a legend that the spirit that possesses her is that of a small girl, who became trapped in the basement with her doll and died. So her spirit stayed with Mandy. 

To date she has done nothing particularly evil, some investigators claim it is just the spirit of the little girl, lonely and sad… but there are to many similarities between her and the other demonically possessed dolls. Sometimes it just takes a little longer, so keep an eye on this evil little toy !

6 Terrifying Halloween Ghost Stories That Really Happened

There are ghost stories dating back thousands of years BC. People have been telling of their paranormal encounters for generations and there are hundred´s of thousands of them out there right now, yet people still think its fake ? Fake or not there’s nothing to get the goosebumps going like a good old ghost story. Here are the six of the creepiest ones that we could find. Enjoy !

 

Laughter In The Middle Of The Night

haloween-ghost-stories

When I was a child, I lived in an old Victorian house, and I would always hear laughing while I was trying to sleep. I was an only child with a single mother, and when I was about 5-6, I would wake up hearing laughter in the hallway in the middle of the night. After mentioning this to my mum, she swore it was probably just the TV being left on late.

One night, I awoke to hear the laughter in my room. I went to sit up but felt like there was someone holding my shoulders down, invisible hands gripping into my shoulders while I heard laughing. I screamed my little heart out. My mum ran into my room, flicking on the bedside lamp, convincing me it was just a dream until I said: “but my shoulders hurt.” She lifted up my t-shirt and there were two adult-sized hand prints on my shoulders.

I honestly thought I had imagined it and that it had never happened, but the other day I mentioned it in passing to my mum and she went blanket white and said: “I don’t want to remember that.”

” I Was Never Outside”

outside

This isn’t my story, so it takes away from the horror factor a bit, but it’s from a good friend that I know doesn’t make shit up.

His story happens when he was about 8. He was playing hide and seek with his friend at his house, it was late… Probably about 10ish. It’s my friends turn to find his friend. He’s looking everywhere around the house, but he can’t seem to find him anywhere. He eventually decides he must be hiding outside. So he leaves the house to find him.

He starts searching around some bushes when he hears his friends voice coming from a dark corner maybe 20 feet away. They voice calls for him to come over. He didn’t, because he was already spooked out enough being outside in the pitch black. My friend yelled back, “no! You come over here!”

That’s when he said it really started to get spooky. He told me the voice that sounded just like his friend kept insisting that he come over to the dark corner. My friend kept saying no over and over again. At this point, he said the the voice suddenly changed to a dark, horrible sounding voice demanding he come over. At this point he ran back inside, only to see his friend in the living room. When questioned how he got inside so fast, the friend said he never went outside.

Now, I know both of these 2 guys. None of them make up shit. And I doubt it’s the case of an “imagination gone wild”.

Whatever that voice was, it still spooks me just thinking about this story.

Army Days

ghost8

Back in those days, army bunk beds were double decker and we have to fill the bottom bed before anyone can sleep on the top. So what happened was that the squad of 10 filled the bottom bed and nobody was sleeping on the top bed. A friend of mine woke up one night at around 2am, wanting to go to the toilet. So he woke up and as he was about to stand up he saw two pairs of legs hanging from the top of the bed. Both were white and by the shape of their legs he could tell that it was an elderly lady and a little boy. He didn’t know what to do and so he pretended to be asleep and he overheard their conversation,

“Grandma, could I play the ball now?”

“No dear.”

“But why not? Everyone is asleep I promise I wouldn’t be loud.”

“I know you wouldn’t be loud, but not everyone is asleep.”

The Last Visit 

ghost3

Our elderly neighbour fell sick and had to go to the hospital. Her niece asked us to take care of her dog while she was away. So after school work and dinner and all, me and my brother were sent over to make sure he was doing ok.

So it was late at night, in this weird old lady’s house, my brother was in the shed with the dog and I was in the living room looking at the creepy old photos on the mantelpiece.
What follows is true: I heard the door creak and then a woman’s voice called out the dog’s name.

I freaked out, turned around, obviously there was nobody about. I thought maybe it was the neighbour’s niece, but it had that weird “Did I hear that outside my head or inside it?” echo to it (you know what I mean?) so I also thought I was just letting the creepy house get to me.

But then I went out to my brother and Knocky and he was freaking out too because he thought he’d heard a woman’s voice inside the shed with him saying “Oh there you are”.

We both agreed the voice had that weird in-your-head sound to it and were convinced there were ghosts in the place. Left the dog in the shed, went home, and were greeted by Dad who told us the neighbour’s niece had just called to say the neighbour passed away in the hospital a few hours ago.

Demons In The Desert 

My dad has some stories from his experiences living in California, so I recorded one of them over break and thought I would share.

Me and this guy, a friend of mine, were out drinking beer one night, driving around, running amuck out in the middle of the desert, out by 29 palms. We were miles from anywhere or anything, literally just bonsai-ing out on these old, old roads waay out in the middle of flippin’ nowhere. I mean, we are 20-25 miles from the nearest telephone pole. We come across this Dotson B2-10 (that was like brand new back in the seventies), and it was burned from the firewall back. But the front of the car, the paint was still on it and everything! So we all like, “Oh man, check out this car!” We pull up and we got our lights on it—and its super dark, no moon, in the middle of the desert and it is just completely black out there (except for his headlights and the KC lights on his truck).

It had a good engine in it! We had a whole truck full of tools and a whole bunch of beer, so hell! We just started tearing at it. I go, “f**ck check it out man, I can use this engine in my truck! This is perfect!” So we started taking the engine apart and taking it out. We’re drinking beer, we got the speakers up on the hood of the car, and we’re in there twisting wrenches and just having a time.

He didn’t have an auto-reverse cassette deck, so we had to go back and reverse/change the tape every time it ended. You had to go over there and physically take it out and turn it around and put it back in. There were no radio stations, so that’s all we were listening to.

We’re almost getting ready to get the engine out and the tape ends again. But we’re in the middle of doing something and we couldn’t jump up to go change it. So we’re twisting wrenches in this unbelievable, dead-of-night quiet. And then we could hear something running around. You know where the light from the headlights and KC lights stops being light and it turns to darkness? That’s where we heard it. We heard it running around. You’d hear it from over here and /running/ to over there, a little pitter-patter running through the sand, across the desert and brushes and stuff like that. We were like, “What the hell?”

[He stopped to tell us that he had the chills and goosebumps there in the room. Said he could remember it like it was yesterday.]

We look at each other and are like, ‘whisper’ “whatthef*ckwasthat?” We stopped and were completely silent. You could almost hear your heart beat…. and you’d hear it again over there, so we’d turn our heads and look over there [using gestures to point]… and we’d look over here on this side…. And we looked at each other like……. [wtf face and mutterings under the breath] … We take our flashlights and look over there. Can’t see anything…. We’d get back to work, then hear it again, and we were like, “fck it, we’re outta here. This is freaking us out.”

So we took off, came back the next day– during the day –and finished pulling the engine out. Well, we went out and looked around. I was kicking around out in the brush where we heard the tracks and there were all these little… teeny little footprints. Like, little kid, barefoot kid footprints. Barefoot in the sand, all around the perimeter of where we were.

It wasn’t us! We had boots on and we are big, size 11/12 guys. And we’re miles and miles from anything.

But there was nothing out there, no houses, nothing. Just little footprints running around in the dark. But there’s a lot of activity out there, probably 200 miles from Area 51, another 80 miles from Death Valley. There’s tons and tons and tons of just barren, desert wasteland nothing. But there was something out there that wouldn’t come into the light that night.

“Your Not Allowed To Touch Them”

When I was eight my family moved from urban south Florida to a really small town in north Florida. It was like from a Goosebumps book. A lot of weird stuff has happened in the 15 years since we moved there, but the weirdest has got to be when my sister moved back in with my parents.

My sister’s husband had been shipped off to Afghanistan so she was left alone with a newborn son. Not wanting to go through the soul crushing loneliness of raising a newborn all alone in a trailer in the woods, she moved back into my parents house for a while.

She said it started first when the headboard of her bed would slam every now and then. Then one day she woke up because somebody was tickling her.

She didn’t really think about it until one night she woke my mom up by screaming(my sister is almost 30, she’s not a little kid), and my mom went in and THE WHOLE FUCKING BED WAS ROCKING AND SHAKING LIKE. Really violently up down, to the sides, like a boat going through white water.

But, my mom and sister have been through a lot of shit, so they persevered. One night my sister was nursing her son and something grabbed her pony tail and started yanking her head around. My mom went in the room and very sternly, like talking to a bad kid, said,”I understand things are different. There’s a little baby here and there never has been before. You’re curious, I understand that. But you WILL NOT touch them anymore. You can look, you can stay. You were here before us, but I swear to god you are NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEM.”

It stopped happening.

Harry Price and the Borley Rectory

Harry Price was one of the very first paranormal investigators. He was one was a man who took all of this head on, despite the endless ridicule. He captured some insane evidence and did some crazy investigations. However, throughout his career, there was one that stood out and one that captured the attention of the entire world. Borley Rectory.

The Haunting of Borley Rectory

Borley Rectory has been around since 1863 when it was constructed for a Reverend Henry Bull and his four daughters. Before all of this, these grounds were actually home to an ancient covenant and monastery. These grounds were already home to a ghostly nun, the locals had reported seeing her stalking the grounds. She and a monk had been executed after trying to elope. The monk was beheaded, but the nun was sealed into the cellar walls, bricked in whilst screaming and still alive… If that´s not a cause for a haunting, I don’t know what is. 

The Reverend and his daughters had already seen this ghostly nun before the locals came to warn him. Over time the nun became more difficult to live with, she was scaring the children and servants too much. But they managed to stay there and the last of the Bull family died in 1928, all of whom lived in the old manor house and became used to the spirit of the nun. 

After the last of the Bull family died out, the rectory was bought by another Reverend. Reverend Eric Smith, his wife and their children moved in, October 1928. They were not welcome. The activity started day´s after they moved in, it was a lot more violent than it had been with its previous owners. However, it really got unbearable when Smith´s wife found a human skull in the basement. They began to hear footsteps running in the corridors at night, hovering lights were seen in the garden by the children looking out the window, doorbells would be rung and no one would be there, not to mention 

However, it really got unbearable when Smith´s wife found a human skull in the basement. They began to hear footsteps running in the corridors at night, hovering lights were seen in the garden by the children looking out the window, doorbells would be rung and no one would be there, not to mention the harsh poltergeist activity. So they called the Society for Psychical Research, who in turn sent no other than Mr Harry Price. If the spirits had a dislike for the Smith family, it was nothing compared to the way the house reacted to Harry. 

 

Harry Price Investigates

Harry Price was well known for his communication with the other side, but the spirits here were angered by his attempts. Price´s presence in the rectory seem to rile up the spirits and they became aggressive. He reported that objects would smash around him and that stones would be hurled at him. He reported that it was the spirit of Harry Bull who had perished here in the years gone. Two years of this and Smith took his family and left the rectory, he never looked back. With the property vacant Price soon followed. 

In 1929 the lands were passed into the ownership of Reverend Lionel Foyster and his family. This time the spirits took a particular interest in the Reverend´s wife, Marianne Foyster and it didn’t take long for the rectory to show its true nature. 

She became the target, objects would be thrown with force and directed at her, but there was another type of activity. Writing began to appear on the walls, a lot of it was incomprehensible but she could recognise her name. Marianne. 

borley-writingsThe Borley writings.

A lot of the writing, as you can see was impossible to make out, but the words help and Marianne are clear. This went on for a long time until Mr Foyster, like his predecessor, had enough but he did not leave his home, he decided to try  an exorcism instead. 

For a short time, this did seem like the solution to the frightful events at the Borley Rectory. But the activity soon returned only this time around, they were a lot more intent to drive Foysters from there rectory. Communion wine turned to ink, servant bells and church bells went off with no cause. It would seem that the ghosts were only just getting started. The Foyster children were dragged from their beds, the youngest of them was even slapped across the face. The Reverend like Mr Smith before him packed his possessions and took himself and the family from their home. 

 

 

Price Investigates 2.0

In 1937 Borley Rectory lay dormant, it had scared off all of its residents. However, one man remained unphased. Harry Price remained throughout the years interested in the manifestations at the rectory. Later in the year of 1937 he took it upon himself to take ownership of the rectory ,and gather the evidence needed to prove that the dead don’t always rest. 

When he arrived he hired an assistant to help him with his research, then invited 48 witnesses and launched one of the largest paranormal investigations in history. The investigations went on for over a year and a lot of credible  evidence was recorded. But in 1938 during a seance the most incredible event took place. The spirit contacting Price and his guests were told that the Rectory would burn down and the body of the nun would be discovered amongst the ruin. However, it took a whole year for this evidence to come to light.

Price’s tenancy was up. Next in line to attempt enduring the rectories horrors was  Captain Gregson. He too eventually fell victim to the horrors that resided within the Borley Rectory, but he lost his two dogs. Both of which died at the same time for reasons unknown. Shortly afterwards, while the Captain was out for a walk, he came back to find his home engulfed by fresh flame. Many villagers later claimed to see the vision of a nun standing amongst the flames, staring down at them from the top window… It was later discovered that the fire was caused by a smashed oil lamp. However, Captain Gregson swore, until the day he died that he never even lit an oil lamp that day. 

 

Borley Rectory 2016

rectoryThe site where the rectory once stood.  

The remains of the rectory were left until 1944 when they were finally demolished. However, there are still reports of strange things occurring on the site of the rectory. The Nun is still said to prowl the grounds in the night, or organ music can be heard. Stranger still, following the demolition the church just a mere walking distance from the Rectory, began to report strange activity. Perhaps not to the same level of the Rectory itself, but there again is it proper for an English church to do such a thing ? After all in the eyes of the church, the dead are dead and gone to rest. 

So, was this or is this Britain’s most haunted location ? If so the activity reported here does not seem that of a executed nun… Sure she would be angry enough to smash some pots and clang some pans, however, if we look into history and similar hauntings, the events that took place here do not seem to be caused by a human spirit. Perhaps something summoned by the murder ? But how will we every find out… Simple, get over to the rectory and the church, get investigating and share your evidence ! We look forward to hearing all about it.

3 Ghost Pictures That are Changing Minds

Paranormal photography is a huge subject at the moment. With technology moving forward every day, we are discovering new ways to capture the other side all of the time. A lot are just hoaxes of course, but there’s a few out there that sceptics are unable to debunk. 

 

 

3. Grandpa´s Ghost

 grandpas-ghost

 

This photo was taken when a family were moving their grandmother to a care home. She was having a tough time with the move… Anyways the younger daughter took a photo and saw a man standing the background, later on when they were checking it out.

The man standing behind their grandmother was identical to their grandad. He had died 13 years earlier… Perhaps he came along to make sure everything would be ok. But it doesn’t end there. 

This photo was called a hoax for a long time and it was under speculation for even longer. However, when looking closer, some people spotted what looks like a cloaked figure with a skeletal white face standing by the grandad looking directly at him. Almost like death himself was bringing grandad on a supervised visit. If you can’t spot him, look a little left from the red car. 

It’s easy enough to say that, the cloaked figure is a trick of the light… But, there is no denying that grandad is standing right there. Is it a coincidence that this trick of the light happened at the same moment that this spectral giant was caught ?.. 

 

 

2. Please, let that be your shy daughter behind you.

most-convincing-photos3 

Look just a little to the right, directly behind the women taking the photo… 

There´s a game that has been going around recently called Karen the Mirror Ghost. You take a selfie three times in a row and then on the shot, just before you hit the button, say, Karen, I see you. Then she strangles you, steals your children or shares a tub of popcorn with you. After the third snap a girl called Karen, who supposedly died whilst taking a selfie to post on myspace, will appear in the third picture…

It sounds nuts! However, take a look at the photograph above, this Reddit user decided to give it a shot, and what she captured is fudged up. 

Is it just us or does the thing behind her have glowing eyes and a dashing if not somewhat evil grin? Not too pretty… 

 

 

 

1. The Party Ghost.

 3-most-convincing-photos1

For us, this is the most convincing photo out there, not to mention one of the creepiest !

This group were on vacation in southern America and they decided to take a couple of group photos. The first is completely normal, however, take a look at the second… 

It would seem that these guys have a party crasher. Upon later review, none of the guys recognised the women who decided to join the fun. Of course, this could just be a member of the party… But look at the proportions of her body and head, she is as close to the camera as the guys in the front of the photo…

That means that she is closer to the camera than the majority of people there, however, she is in the centre of the table. So unless there is a huge hole in the centre of the table, and this group of 10 are all lying or there’s a spectre manifesting right before your eyes.

 

There´s a lot of ghost photos out there, you can scour the internet all day and find hundreds of them, but just take a closer look and see if they match these three.

ZoZo, What Comes Through the Ouija Board
10th October 2016

The Ouija Board is by far thee most well known form of communication with the other side, its the oldest form but its also one of the most dangerous ones. People for hundreds of years have been doing this, but today the world is dowsed in fear and just recently something else has been coming through the Ouija Board. Something not everyone bargained for.

 

The Rules !

  1. Be Serious, being in a serious mood heightens your defenses. If your not serious about it, you can invite something negative in. Which can happen anyways but its much easier for it to get into your head if your just joking around.
  2. Always Say Goodbye When Your Done, sometimes negative entities will refuse to say goodbye, like a stubborn kid… but just keep pushing on. Say goodbye closes that doorway and ends the session. 
  3. Never Use The Ouija Board in Your Home, this one is simple, ever heard the saying dont s*$t where you sleep? Same concept. The last thing you want is something negative staying in your house, affecting you in the place your most vunerable…
  4. Never use The Ouija Board Alone, simply because the ouija board is normally used in groups, a single person will have little if not no effect. Or simply because if anything happens no one is there to help. 

Follow the four golden rules and to be honest its quite alot of fun.

The ZoZo Phenomenon

ZoZo is something negative or demonic of insane power, never make the mistake of thinking he is anything but. He has been accidentally summoned using the Ouija Board since the late 70’s and is related to alot of suicide and murder cases since that time. But he can actually be traced back even further and its been popping up in history for thousands of years…. He has been worshiped as a god by civilizations such as the Mayans and Incas. His name has been a hated word in ancient Jewish religion, the word Zozo is used in blood voodoo. There is evidence of ZoZo in ancient Africa, medieval Europe, and in Christianity where it translates directly into the word ” Destroyer “. Not to mention he is also in Dante’s Inferno and apparently used by King Solomon. There may be hoax videos out there saying they have had contact with him but it just takes research to realize this guy is no joke.

Normally he is conjured up by accident, you’ll break out the Ouija board and ask ” Is anyone there ? ” and maybe giggle a little bit, but to begin with you will never know just who it is. Demonic forces are well known for there trickery… He will normally first try to pretend he is someone else, perhaps a little girl who was murdered and shes scared and alone, or a vulnerable old man who is lost in his old home and doesn’t know how to cross over. But then the rainbow affect takes place.. The planchete will start swerving from Z to O slowly and then faster and faster spelling out Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O-Z-O. That’s when you know your in some deep sh*t. Check out Ghost Adventures experience with ZoZo below.



Signs you have Contacted ZoZo

The first way to identify him is always to ask his name, he may not be truthful to begin with, it may even take a few sessions but it goes by the names of, ZoZo, ZaZa, MaMa, Oz, Zo, Za or Abacus. Other signs include;

  1. Rapid figure of eight movements or the number 0 when asking for the entities age
  2. Rainbow side to side movements that spell the names above
  3. Extreme anxiety, thoughts of depression or violence before or during session
  4. Dark shadows moving around the area of the Ouija board
  5. Psychical Attacks

But if you do come into contact with him there are ways to deal with it, but if you have a weak will just be honest with yourself and don’t do it at all. But there are ways to keep him at bay ; 

  1. Don’t Panic, evil entities, especially demonic ones seem to feed from fear itself. 
  2. Close the session, Make sure you say goodbye after the session and make sure that the entity moves the planchette to goodbye. 
  3. Set Boundaries, Make sure you state that when you are finished he will leave and that he is not allowed to come into your life. 
  4. Do Not Use The Same Ouija Board Again, Spirits, especially evil ones can attach themselves to objects to get rid of it. 
  5. Do Not Speak or Say His Name, speaking his name is a weak form of letting him in.

Aokigahara – The Suicide Forest, Japan
18th September 2016

Located at the very base of the iconic Mount Fuji, Japans very own demon forest. Locally known as Aokigahara  this forest has witnessed over 500 confirmed suicides since the 1950’s. But whats drawing people here, even the locals admit the whispers place seems to even pull them in. 500 suicides in one location …. How couldn’t it be haunted. 

suicide-forestA view of Suicide Forest.

 

So it is told that the suicides here where started off after the release of a popular romantic novel in 1960’s Japan called Kuroi Kaiju ( Black Sea of Tree’s ) in which a young couple in love ends up killing themselves inside of the black forest. However the black history actually massively predates this book. 

In older times Japanese families would actually leave people in the forest during times of famine when there wasn’t enough food to share. In a way they would actually be sacrificing them to the forest itself. But ofcourse history can be manipulated. So we will never know if these people where left to die horrible deaths of starvation and madness or if they where left to appease something that the ancient people where perhaps aware of. So not only is it said to be haunted by the spirits of the suicidal but also those who where left there. 

Visitors today and for a long time have even confirmed that human ghosts aren’t the only thing here. There are so many stories of demonic encounters popping up it is insane.

Japanese spiritualists actually believe that the suicides committed in the forest have permeated Aokigahara’s soil and trees, generating paranormal activity and preventing many who enter from escaping the gnarled depths of the forest.

suicide-forest3One of the many signs throughout the forest clearly warning visitors along with the suicide hotline number.

 

Besides bodies and homemade nooses, also scattered around the forest are signs put up by the police with messages like “Your life is a precious gift from your parents,” and “Please consult with the police before you decide to die,” in an attempt to discourage would be committers of suicide. Judging from the increasing number of suicides, these signs probably aren’t all that effective.

The forest itself covers 3,500 hectares ( that’s around 3000 football pitches ),

Its so thick that there are actual patches of the forest that are pitch black even in midday. The ground is uneven making it dangerously easy to fall or break a leg, or if you dont fall down a ledge be careful you dont fall into one of the massive, underground caves. There are over 200 caves all together.

It is a well known fact that wildlife is almost non exisistant and birds are never heard singing. You see this in other places of mass death like Auschwitz. But a place like Auschwitz there are alot of reasons why wildlife would not be there or fly over … Its all concrete ! But miles and miles of untouched forest and not a single nesting bird of any species ? That says enough.

 suicide-forest4One of the many ” barricades “

 

There are parties of police offers and volunteers that scour the forest who are tasked in finding the bodies of the forests victims, to return them back to the town to be identified. But first they are carried to a small forest station to be stored until moved further.

This small station is perhaps one of the most paranormally active parts of the forest. The bodies when left alone have been heard screaming and wailing all night by volunteers who camp outside. They have even witnessed people walking around the building or they will hear shuffling sounds inside like someones trying to get out. Its bad luck in japan to leave the body of a suicide victim alone, so what do you do ? Well the workers have a system. They play Janken and the looser has to stay with the corpses all night….. Fuck that !

But the volunteers and police are not the only people to enter the forest. Looters are prevalent in the forest, looking for fresh corpses to rob…

 

 

There are countless witnessed in the forest to the ghosts and in-human entities, police officers and adventures alike.

Screams echo throughout the forest both day and night. But they are not normal screams, not even human. The Screams seem to be coming from every direction at once aswell as the fact they are as loud as a ships horn. Along with white figures seen gliding all around the forest. Probably just the lost spirits still looking for a way out.

But along with all of your usual hauntings there is something else. People have seen children running around within the forest, but when they follow the children they fall into a cave or come to one of the corpses. Demonic entities are well known to inspire death aswell as to mimick children. They do this to lure in people, and gain there trust.

 

So a haunted forest, demons, suicide, corpses, screams and people loosing there minds ! This is more than enough to give it one hell of a reputation but there is something else, something the dead have left behind. 

Des rubans sont tirés un peu partour dans la forêt, ultime lien avec les vivants, fil d'ariane pour éviter de se perdre, le sens est assez complex. Au pied du Mont Fuji, la mer d'arbres Cord found in the forest tied to the trees

 

The forest is scattered with ribbon or cord that is tied to trees and actually lead to the corpses. Some say this is so people can easily find the bodies other think it is so they can find there way back just encase. But what is more terrifying is that people who have tied the ribbon and decided to come back have followed the trail only to find there ribbon has been cut ! As a result the ones who returned took hours to find there way back, sometimes days. But what about those who never came back. 

The forest is also littered with peoples possessions. Tents are everywhere, people camp out in the forest before killing themselves. Inside it is a sad sight with family photos or favorite books. Sometimes even a skeleton or two. 

 

suicide-forest6A moment in the documentary further up when a young boy is found.

 

There is no doubt Aokigahara forest is one of, if not the most haunted location in the world. 

One word of warning if ever you decide to journey within the forest don’t leave the path, and do not stay after sunset.

Xochimilco – The Doll Island, Mexico
14th September 2016

Doll Island or Isla de las Munecas in Xochimico, Mexico is considered to be one of the most haunted locations in the world. The hundreds of dolls hanging around the island are said to whisper, blink and even move. Not to mention all the other activity of this creepy ass island. 

The story begins when the caretaker of the island Don Julian Santana Barrera found a little girl drowned on the banks of the island. He tried to save her life but failed, she was dead for to long. A short while after a doll came floating up onto the banks. 

He took it that this doll was the little girls and had fell into the water around the same time. So he hung it from a tree in an act of respect for the little girls spirit. He soon realised that the girls spirit had remained there with him. But she was violent and he was often scared, but he never fled the island.

doll-island2Don Julian Santana Barrera

 

So Don Julian began to hang more and more dolls to appease her but the activity only became more brutal. He thought he was attracting the spirits of more little girls who had lost there life in these canals. His close friends said he changed alot in these years, as if he was driven by some unseen force. Apparently he was marred by the fact he got not save her.

Don Julian Died in 2001 and his spirit has been seen. He stated that the dolls told him to walk into the water but he did not want to go. I think he knew what was on this island but as in other demonically haunted locations people become attached and do not want to leave.

However there has been some controversy on whether or not Don Julian even did find a little girl on the banks, or whether is is something a whole lot darker having this effect on him. Its not like we haven’t heard of other haunted dolls, and they are never good things.

doll-island3

 

Some say they hear the dolls whispering to each other, others say the dolls have lured them in when passing on a boat. Of course these can easily be exaggeration but there is no doubt that there are things here.

Stories of people having terrible nightmares after leaving the island became a common occurrence after Don Julian’s death.  People began to hear more prominent whispers, or where being scratched and genuinely terrified.

All of this occurred after Don Julian’s family turned this island into a tourist destination. Turning a place with an evil presence or presences into a novelty never seems to go well.

The first doll he ever collected is still here. Perhaps another piece of evidence that this is another girl was the possessive nature in which Don Julian cared for the dolls. He must have almost lost his mind.

dollisland3Don Julians First Doll

 

So the dolls are heard screaming, crying and many said they have seen something following them.

Enter The Ghost Adventures Crew

But they didn’t just come onto the island with a couple of evp recorders and a full spectrum camera, they brought one the most haunted dolls int he world along. Harold. The evidence they got is really quite amazing.

Check out the video below, the dolls dont even have batteries !!!!

Or check out the full episode ;

 

If you watched it, youll know some pretty serious shizz went down. Fires starting of there own accord, small bruises on Zaks arm that look like babies fingers. We cant help but to think if this was Harold or the dolls on the island.

So one guy went one step further ! He got Harold and asked all the questions we where thinking !

So there we have it Doll Island, one of the worlds most haunted locations. Or is it ? 

Any questions you guys have feel free to ask below and we will be posting out experience on this awesome island soon. 

Heres some more pictures of the place.

The Bell Witch Of Tennessee 1817
10th September 2016

The Bell Witch is an evil entity that tormented an american pioneer family in Tennessee between 1817 and 1821.  It was witnessed and documented by many people including psychologists and doctors. The events that took place led it to be named ” America’s Greatest Haunting “. Today the haunting is still as active now as it is then with the house where the events took place as well as the caves below show distinct signs of a demonic type haunting. 

The haunting itself seemed to have started in 1817 when John Bell was inspecting a cornfield when he saw a strange animal sitting in the middle of a field, an animal with the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit. When Mr Bell began to shoot at the beast it simply vanished. That evening the Bell family began to hear “beating” sounds on the outside of the house and front door. 

bellwitch-2The Bell’s family home as it stands today

 

Not long after the banging´s the entity began to rip of the children´s bed rovers or have there pillows thrown across the room. Following that they began to hear faint whispers that sounded like an old women singing rhymes. 

Then The Bell Witch began to show its true self. The youngest daughter would have her hair pulled and be slapped continuously, she’d even have hand-prints visible allover her body. 

So in terror Johnathan Bell shared the trouble with his neighbor James Johnston. James and his wife spent the night where they also had the bed covers ripped from them and where slapped repeatedly. 

bellwitch3From Authenticated History of the Bell Witch, M.V. Ingram, 1894.

 

The old women’s voice became stronger over time to a point where it was so loud that what she was saying was distinguishable. It sang hymns, quoted scripture and responded intelligently to questions. 

It even quotes word for word two sermons that where preached at the exact same time on the exact same day the sermon was being held 13 miles apart. Word soon spread and soon enough Major General Andrew Jackson took interest and sought to investigate this allegedly insane haunting. 

The whole company ; 2 horses, 8 men and a carriage all got stopped. They tried and tried for about 10 minutes to pull the carriage but it would not move, General Jackson stated ” This must be the Bell Witch ! ” and again that old women’s voice rand loud and clear telling them they could proceed and she would be seeing them later that night. 

bellwitch5Jackson’s Company approaching the Bell Residence

 

One of the medieval goons even proclaimed to be a “witch tamer”. Funny enough there was little activity when the group where in the house. The ” witch tamer ” even proclaimed that she was scared of his silver bullets ! It didn’t take long for the demonic entity to single him out …. 

The man began after several hours jerking violently from left to right screaming that he was being stabbed with needles and beaten. A sharp kick to the ass sent him flying out the front door and you heard the old women’s voice again !, ” Fraud” and that she would be seeing him later that night. But the witch claimed there was another fake in Jackson’s company. 

Jackson’s men all went to camp out in the fields and Jackson himself stayed in the house. Jackson himself stayed in the house. Funny enough the next morning the entire company of men including Jackson where seen walking away from the house into the fields and still today nobody knows why. 

bellwitch7A rendering of the bell witch as described

 

As time went on things continued. The family where continually taunted and scared. But they grew used to it. However John Bell began to experience twitches in his face and he couldn’t swallow for almost a year. The witch vowed to kill him again and again, it seemed only now that she trying to actually do so.

By 1820 his health made him bound to the house, not to mention the fact that the witch would remove his shoes when he tried to walk, or beat his face when he was experiencing seizures. During these episodes her voice would be heard all over the farm chanting ” Old Jack Bell “.

Eventually caving Old Jack Bell died on December 20, 1820 after falling into a coma. Straight after his death his family found an old vial full of liquid in the adjacent cabinet. They tested it on the family cat and it died immediately, directly after the cats death the witches voice rang out ” I gave Ol’ Jack a big dose of that last night which fixed him!”

Here is where it gets weird, apparently and witnessed by many John Bell Jr picked up and old blanket caught the spirit and threw it in the fire ! along with the vial which apparently smoked up into a bluish flame. But that did not work.

bellwitch8John Jr throwing the witch into the fire

 

During John Bells funeral the witch was heard laughing loudly and singing a song about a bottle of brandy. Even weirder is that apparently she returned and spoke to John Jr and his wife about the origins of life, Christianity etc … and said she would return to haunt the direct decent of John in 107 years.

Funny enough that actual descendant, a Dr. Charles Bailey Bell wrote a book about the Bell Witch and died mysteriously in 1945.

bellwitch10Charles Bailey Bell

 

Almost 200 years later this exact The Bell Witch House and The Cave down below are some of the most violently haunted places in the entire world. Funny enough nobody ever knew about the cave just below the land, but it is thought that is where the witch originated. ( i know, witch living in a cave a bit of a cliche but there we go ).

The faint sounds of people talking and children playing can sometimes be heard in the area, and it’s not uncommon to see “candle lights” dance through the dark fields late at night.  Photography is especially difficult; some pictures taken in the area show mist, orbs of light, and other phenomena, including human-like figures who were not present when the pictures were taken.

Zak Baggins and the Ghost Adventures team did a full investigation and got some pretty incredible evidence. But you’ll have to watch to find out see the link below for that !

The witch is often heard and seen today, people are scratched, strange lights, mists and all kinds of crazy stuff happens here on a daily basis and tours are only $8.00 !! right here > http://www.bellwitchcave.com/ghost_hauntings/bell_witch_cabin.htm

Just remember the story of The Bells before you go into that cabin, but saying that we sure wouldn’t hesitate #wtfjustdontcare
