I lived on and off for around 16 years in a Victorian manor house, that has been renovated into 5 homes. During my last 3 months living there, one afternoon around 2pm I was standing in the kitchen and I watched a young Victorian women walk through my living room, into the kitchen and straight though the wall to my neighbour house. It was all over in less than a minute, but the details of her hair and the lace on her dress were clearly visible to me.
Find out who the previous owners are then try find photographs. Maybe you’ll see her.
From my research the Manor House was build around 1840 by a Lancashire cotton mill owner. However, the style of the women dress was approx 1890 - she was wearing a straw boat with dark ribbon. It was like watching a 3D movie clip play out in front of me, the detail was very clear.
@@sarahchapman7863This exact thing happened to a relative of mine who lived in a flat beneath an old abbey in Lancashire. There was a woman in the same dress stood in her kitchen looking out of the window one time but she had many sitings whilst she was there.
@@sarahchapman7863just curious ..is English not your native language?

People dont believe untill you have the experience happen personally to yourself, then theres no going back.
Those who feel it, know it...
True. But even then it took another person to experience the same thing in the same room that I experienced. The odds of it happening twice to two different people is astronomical.
Makes me think of the verse "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" ( Heb. 13:2 ).
That was my first thought as well.
Yes. I have been aware of that saying and sometimes I have thought of it when I have entered into conversation with strangers. I have always learned something from them and the conversations have been very unusual for the situation.
This was a demon not an angel of God
My main experience with a ghost I'll never ever forget was when I was 9 , about 10 days or so before my 10th birthday. I was with my friend and we went into the house where I lived and my parents and sister were all out so we just sat playing with my toys. Then we heard one of the bedroom doors close so I went to the bottom of the stairs to see who it was and what I saw has stayed with me ever since. Coming down the stairs was a first world war soldier in full uniform. Anyway to cut a very long story short about 4/5 years ago I couldn't get it out of my mind I had to know who he was. After lots of research I found out that in 1918 his family lived in that house and he was killed in France on 24th August 1918 and when I saw him in the house was 50 years to the day he was killed. I think he was looking for his family. I tried to find out if his body had been returned home but unfortunately his remains were never found.
That’s a fascinating story, thanks for sharing
Thank you for that, absolutely fascinating! May he rest in peace.
@@katedavies9578 that's what I hope for.
Hi there I just want to read your story about the first world war soldier it is really so sad that he hasn't moved on and I can tell you now and saying it's bringing shivers down my spine on the battlefield of the song all across the battlefields of the first world war there are spirits roaming poor people poor people these people were let down by our generals absolutely disgraceful behaviour
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
I'll tell you my ghost story. Late at night I came to visit my friend who recently moved in an abby. She gave me a fine room down the hall. Just before the dawn I was awaken by a smell of fresh bread, so intense that I was positive I've got a room above the bakery.
In the morning she started to prepare breakfast and I told her I'll buy fresh bread from the bakery.
- What bakery?
We went out and there was no bakery, actually no house was near.
She took a book about history of the abby. We've found it: before abby was rebuilt, few centuries ago, the room I slept above was used as a bakery.
You might think my story is not scary, but it is real life GHOST Story.
Myself and my brother at a very young age were messing around with a piece of farm equipment.
What we were doing was most likely going to end up with one or both of us killed even though as children we didn't see this..
A Male voice spoke clearly and very firmly to both of us and repeated three times Be careful boys.
We freaked and stopped what we were doing and ran back to the house.
Our old sheep dog sensed it before we heard the voice, hair stood up and he ran off barking.
Could be an angel?
Having experienced several unexplainable happenings in my 75yr old lifetime, including a voice warning me and saving me from injury, at age 17 in a dance hall, which literally stopped me walking accross a balcony, that moments later collapsed onto the band playing below, causing many injured to be taken to hospital. I beleive you without question. The voice said "DO NOT CROSS"
I was lying in a hospital bed waiting to meet the surgeon who was about to perform delicate spinal surgery on me. I even had the pre med in my hand but didnt want to take it before meeting the surgeon.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, but seemingly above my head, a strong male voice said "DON'T DO IT!"
I knew I had to take heed of that voice. I put the meds down and said I wasnt going to go ahead with it.
The surgeon was awful to me, very rude, calling me " a very foolish young woman" infront of several medical students, but I stuck to my guns.
I made a full recovery.
Just a few years later I was told that the surgery is rarely carried out nowadays, as it can lead to irreversable damage and constant pain.
I thank my angel for speaking to me!
Interesting it was a Strong make voice spoke to us too.
Could you tell if the voice was male or female?
There's one near Yorkshire, a motorcyclest gave a teenage girl a lift home across the Moor, he was close to where she lived, and suddenly realised she wasn't on the back, franticly rode up and down thinking she'd fallen of he couldn't find her, he knocked on a couple of doors where she said she was going, a woman opened the door, he gave a discription and the woman broke down in tears, it turned out it was her daughter who'd been knocked down and killed one night in the spot he picked her up from, it was near batley in Yorkshire if I recall.
Heard this very tale but adapted to the Mersey Tunnel
Sounds also like Resurrection Mary in Illinois U.S.A. Maybe they are demons pretending to be someone who died around. Who knows what they really are. Ghosts of the people who died or maybe something else because we really don't know.
Some people experience things you won't believe,
These stories are so entertaining! I am Irish, and we do so enjoy these tales of unusual happenings. And they are common to most cultures.
seriously your saying theres a culture out there that doesnt have ghosts stories.
A LOAD OF SHITE
The stories of M.R. . James.
A LOAD OF SHITE, ARE YOU SO SO STUPID?
We have just as good and of course hallowe'en does come from county meath let him come over and meet the puca
A school friend of mine's Dad drove busses for a living. One night he came home from work with a story about how he'd picked a passenger up from a stop. It was late so the bus was otherwise empty. The guy got on and went upstairs. My friend's Dad went merrily on with his route but as he got closer to getting back to the station he started to think the guy had fallen asleep because he still hadn't got off. On his last stop he went upstairs looking for the guy but there was no-one there.
I work at an old RAF airfield and occasionally have a visit from a friendly ghost .He has even been imitating my winter cough recently.Sometimes he goes missing for months,or he's being kind and leaving me alone.
Love your stories. A similar experience happened to myself and girl friends on a weekend away a few years back. We were staying in an old historical miners cottage, out in the middle of nowhere, in the bush in Perth Western Australia. It was a hot summers night, and there was a long old metal bath that we decided to fill with water. We all squeezed in with a glass of wine each, for a photo. Weeks later l got a call from one of my friends. She'd had the photo developed and enlarged to frame. She was so excited, and wanted to come around and show me something that was in the photo. I couldn't believe, when looking closely at it, to discover peering through the old window above the bath, was a face of a very young child. There were no other families around, and it was at night, in the middle of nowhere. After thinking about it alot, l contacted the owners of the cottage, only to be told that apparently, a young child drowned in the billabong that was not far from there in the early 1900's. And yes, he was known to still be present around the cottage.
And his ghost can be seen as it passes by the billabong.
Awful that no relatives from heaven have come to help him x over.
My late sister in law and her friend worked in an old folks home. A family member had bought this building and turned it into a nursing home for the elderly. Late afternoon, still daylight they were in a room with windows looking onto the room across from them divided by a narrow corridor. This room also had windows. In that room they could see a man lying back on a chair with his legs raised and feet on the table. As they went to challenge the man, he stood up and walked through the wall. On the other side of the wall was an out of use stairway. During the second world war this site operated as a small air field. Another story from a lad i knew. He worked in crewe theatre. Again in broad daylight he was on an upperfloor, tidying the place for a show later that night. All of a sudden a ballerina partially appeared and danced and circled the length of the upper floor then slowly evaporated.
ive got aghost in my apartment,prpblem is nobody believes me
Hebrews 13:2
King James Version
*"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."*
Could have been an angel. also, not all ghosts are bad, some can be good. Love that movie
*THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR* -- Absolutely LOVE that classic movie !!!
Maybe the spirit wasn't dressed right n soaking was because he died out there to bad weather or drowned somewhere
That passage is probably not meant to be taking literally. It could refer to charitable people and how sometimes a stranger can surprise you with their kindness you might not even get from your own family.
@@roseyvision interesting, and perhaps it could be a popular interpretation, but the Bible never calls humans angels. Angels are spirit, and it could be that they are 3rd party observers or guides in human events.
Was thinking of that scripture you just quoted, when listening about the hitchhiker.
Everyone should watch (or re-watch) the timeless classic movie *The Ghost and Mrs. Muir*
LOVE that movie !!! Not all ghosts are "bad" : )
Love that movie.
That's my favourite movie of all time. Even though I've seen it hundreds of times, I still cry at the end when she dies. A few fav lines in the film are (regarding the Monkey Puzzle Tree) "it defies the effort of the monkey to climb it" also, the married man who catches Mrs Muir's eye - described by the Captain as "A perfumed parlour snake". Fantastic movie - thanks for mentioning it ❤
Loved that movie, and I'm a guy. It would be nice to think love is eternal.
One of my favourite movies.
Maybe everything in the past and future is happening all of the time, somewhere in the time continuum? Sometimes there are glitches? Also, we have demons and angels at work.
I thought this as well. There is one problem in logic. All these apparitions seem to be dressed in contemporaneous clothing or older styles. If time lines were mixing them you would expect a good portion of these sightings the ghosts would be dressed in rather unusual attire.
Many years ago, I found my mother standing at the kitchen sink staring up the garden path trance like. I said mum are you OK? she replied, Mrs Livesey has just died, I replied what!! she replied, she has just walked up the garden path. At the time, Mrs Livesey lived in Wales and we were in Coventry. My mother had been the Livesey's nanny for some years and the friendship had continued. Later that day/night the phone rang and the Livesey's youngest son phone to inform us of the passing of his mother. I said yes we know and explained what had happened. This was not the first time this had happened with my mother. She would regularly make predictions that came to pass. No explanation here, but having seen this on more than one occasion it happens and some are more tuned in to this phenomenon. Sixth sense.
I had this same experience in Keilder forest driving to Glasgow. A guy and a little girl dressed in summer attire. Incandescent. 25 miles in the middle of nowhere, dark, winter and teaming with rain.
I could listen to Neil all day long, a natural story teller

Having never heard voices before or after, I distinctly heard loud laughter in my head whilst riding my motorbike through the countryside when i was 19. I knew it was my laughter, but older , much,much older . Strangely enough, I still recognise it as the ghost of my future self . I had a profound sense of happiness. And yes, I'm still riding motorbikes through the same countryside. Ghosts of oneself from the future???? Why not
There is only one time so everything is happening now.
@libertybell7145 Space-time exists so that things can happen. The alternative doesn't exist. So to speak.
Now that is strange!
I worked with a woman colleague in the 70's who had children and leaving the house in Wellingborough one day asked her son who he was waving to and he told her the soldier( possibly Roman) in the house window.
''What do you make of that'' ? I'd need a change of underwear !!!!!
Love these little snippets keep them coming ❤️❤️
This is getting interesting. I am convinced that these things are/have really happened and that there is actually a scientific explanation to these occurrences but we have not achieved a level of understanding to process it.
Keep the stories coming and do not dismiss them all. Some have enough detail to really study this further.
I'd suggest that you also take a look at the phenomenon of Tulpas, the famous Canadian 'Philip Experiment' is a good place to start.
@@TheVideoLounge I shudder to think of the possibilities. And marvel to think some of us are doing this unintentionally.
As an Irishman who grew up in avery superstitious family, actually experienced some weird stuff as a kid and had a run in one night with the Bahnshee. Absolutely terrifying. The paranormal is very real.
I knew about the Banshee as a young lad, being from an Irish family, but living then in Birmigham.
One night, I and my brothers (and if I remember correctly, also the babysitter), heard what sounded like wailing, a heartbreaking crying sort of noise in the back garden. It was pitch black outside, and we could not see anything from the bedroom window. We were too scared to go near the garden. Could it have been a very distressed cat? Maybe, but ive never heard a cat sound like that since. By the morning, we then discovered that our neighbour across the road had died in the night. In folklore, the Banshee wails for the dead, usually a family member, but perhaps they made an exception on this occasion.
A fox.@@matthewdowling3866
I was born at home in North Yorkshire as were my brother and sister in the 1950s. We slept in a crib as newborns in my mum and dad’s bedroom. They both saw an old lady ghost peering lovingly into the crib soon after each of our births. I have had many supernatural experiences in my life.
in 2004 I was walking towards a local Abbey in Yorkshire going for a pint at my local.I noticed about 12 girls dancing at the side of one of the large Abbey stones which is situated a few hundred yards from the main Abbey.They were singing "London Bridge Is falling Down."I didn't want to disturb them so I walked across a football pitch to get to my destination.I couldn't hear the singing anymore and casually looked back over my shoulder.Nobody was there,and there was no sign of anyone.This was about a minute after I had first seen them.They were dressed in silk like clothes.
Scriptures say. Some have entertained angels unaware
My Dad in his early 60s in about 2003 and living in Dublin. He had a dream that there was a down syndrome baby playing by his next door neighbours front door. His neighbour was approx 41 and 6 months pregnant. 3 months later she gave birth to a down syndrome baby.
Investigate the Guy! Description....description of him and the area! Is the guy alive or dead? Was the guy giving a message for the future? What is happening for the driver now? Is the guy trying to save the drivers life? Was the driver being tested about being humane, that could have saved his own life? Interesting times!
I LOVE YOUR STORY TELLING NEIL.
Do you have an audio book - that I could purchase? Or do you have a podcast that I could listen to?
Years ago my son was in the mountains in West Virginia, it was so foggy. They were driving 20 miles on a 45 mile limit area. They saw lights coming up behind them. The car was coming fast, when it got up on them. It passed them, a black truck, in a bad curve. Never slowed down, with in a few minutes the fog was gone. They could see ahead and no lights were there. When they got to a phone, they called and reported a truck might have gone off the mountain. No truck was ever found. A story like your wee black car. Just strange
My father was Scottish and every hogmanay the whole family would get together and my parents, my brother's and I would stay at my aunt's house which was a horrible, dingy, cold end of terrace house. We all used to stay in one big room but when we got a little older my aunt said me and my mum could stay together in a different room. I have never been so scared in my life and my mum felt the same. We lay together the whole night with the light on and just hugging. The thing is we didn't see anything, we didn't hear anything and we didn't smell anything. There was just this feeling of being watched as if there were eyes everywhere and an overwhelming feeling of doom and gloom as if something dreadful was going to happen. We were terrified. About 50 years later my friends and I were passing the house and one of them said, "there's that creepy haunted house" and she told me that she knew someone who was going to buy it but didn't because of the feeling in that room. She knew nothing of my experiences. I can't explain it.
I really just love to hear scottish people talk just gorgeous.
Something similar happened to us in a certain part of Perthshire to 3 people witnessed this one person had to move to the rear seat of the vehicle to let him in
I was a sceptic until I stayed in an old croft house up here in the Highlands, I had a couple of extremely strange experiences. Which to this day I can't explain but it really happened. It certainly made me change my opinion on this subject.
I love these discussions, please continue. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
I think our understanding of time might not be quite right
Please pray that these poor wandering spirits find rest. May they RIP. 🙏
That is what I did with the one that I saw. I hope it helped him move on.
10 years ago, my husband and I drove through Scotland as far as Mull. On the way, after countless roads, through heather clad ways we drove up a hill, a very high hill and as the track levelled out on the highest point in the middle of nowhere was a lone piper. It was really misty high up on that hill and we couldn't see back to where we came from below. He was playing his pipes, and there seemed to be a scruffy old table in front of him. We couldn't see a car or any transport he could have used to get there, which in itself was strange. He was wearing full Highland dress, and as we drove slowly by, we could see how the fine drizzle or maybe it was just mist was coating his hat and the shoulders of his jacket. He took no notice at all as we went by and just kept playing the pipes. It was a surreal and uncanny experience, and to this day, I do not know if he was real or not. He looked solid, however, and the drizzley mist was all over him.
Same story here in Ireland in Barnesmore Gap in Donegal. Check it out😂
Just love your stories & realism Neil.😉
Top man 👍
Isn't it sad that the first thing that came to that young man's mind was drink or drugs! A sign of the times perhaps.
The first thing that came to my mind was that he picked up a spirit, someone that wanted to be seen when he was alive and wasn't. Only in death was he seen and helped. You could say that that's a reflection of my life, and I'd agree. We all want to be seen.
There's a lot out there that we can only speculate on. As Neil says, we shouldn't automatically dismiss the things people say that are like this. For one thing, it's fascinating. For another, it probably did happen. And by telling the person that they made it up, you're telling them that their reality is incorrect. How could anyone say that when they weren't there themselves to witness it?
Well said 🎉
I've had 3 experiences with the spirit world, the first was a full body apparition and I screamed the place down, the last one was just before the first lock down on a dark winters night around 7pm with the dog on the park, I was surprised more than scared. The spirit realm is 100% real. Some people are more susceptible than others.
As a child I saw a full apperision...I was so frightened I couldn't speak... I'm pretty sure the Lady was friendly ..it was a full moon at the time..I call her moon beam Lady 😲
I have real ghost stories that have happened to me many times different places.
It was that glitch in the matrix! Sooner or later, this will actually happen to him.
The phantom hitchhiker ive heard numerous stories of a similar ilk, they pick the person up, and then try to engage in conversation they look back, when they dont get a reply and then on realising their gone.ln total shock jam the breaks on and come to a stop and then taking a moment to gather their own thoughts..lt would be definitely disconcerting for anyone in the middle of the night and on a lonely stretch of road in the middle of nowhere.
At times Reality seems to be malible and does not conform to our normal understanding of how objects and things behave in time and space....quantum mechanics shows us how little me really comprehend in the multiverse reality....let the mystery be...I say😊
I have heard of similar spooky accounts from others down the years ... fascinating !
I’ve heard that happening here in Northern Ireland. I have experienced a lot of unexplainable things while living in London and at home here in Northern Ireland. I live in the countryside and have seen a young boy in the yard thankfully neighbours and family have seen him too. He’s always smiling. A couple hundred years ago a house burned down where our house is now and ive been told he died in the fire. I’ve got used to hearing and seeing things thankfully other people can confirm I’m am not going crazy. Quite fascinating.
Eileen. That Ghost House near Brookborough?
@@doloresaquines1529 I must look it up thanks
I’m xx years old and definitely going crazy. M.
When I was in Canada, I met up with a nice native girl and ended up going back to her home on the reverse. I was naive at the the time having just arrived, wouldnt recommend that but in the middle of the night I awoke to see 2 ghosts standing over me. One I can barley remember now other than a figure but the other one, the details are as clear today as he got my attention and I was bricking it. It was an old tribal warrior in full gear looking down at me with pure distain. Probably at the white man with his ancestor lol. I shook her awake and told her about the ghost. She looked up and casually said oh they're not ghosts, they're spirits. They're here all the time, just leave them alone and they will go away. If you told me that before I seen it, I would never have believed a word of it.
I can understand the 10 minute silence as the driver was concentrating on the road. But surely there would have been an initial conversation with the man that had been offered a lift in the middle of nowhere. What are you doing out here in this weather? Where are you heading? Where do you want to be dropped off? ..etc.
Gibson Inne, Apalachicola USA….. had a very unusual experience. Though I said nothing it nagged at me, so sent the hotel an email a about a year later. According to the reply I was one of very many.
I truly love these stories ❤❤❤ I've had my own experience so, yep... we are spirit in a body after all
Yes similar some things are hard to explain
When I was at school I’m 68 now my school friends father was a policeman and gave a hitchhiker a lift who was hitching a ride on the motorway she was a young woman so he was giving her a lecture about being out hitchhiking on her own and how dangerous it was , he let her out at the end of her street as not to alarm her parents her arriving in a police car, afterwards he noticed that she had left her handbag so he went back the next day and brought it to her her mother broke down and said her daughter was knocked down on the motorway two years ago and they were looking for her handbag ever since ❤ this tipped my friends father over the edge and he had to leave the police force as he couldn’t cope with what had happened 😢
Why would you quit a steady paying job for that reason?
@@andrewestbrook4473 he ended up in a mental institution and was never the same ☹️
I was out for a walk it was mid morning it was cold but sunny, i was walking down a track not used often, it used to be the shunting yard for a local mine, its all gone but the ballast stone for the railway tracks is still there, i was looking down at the ballast as i looked up a middle ages guy was walking towards me, i said morning and he didn't even acknowledge me, after he had passed i suddenly thought hang on he didn't make any noise walking on the ballast stone, i turned round and no one was there, so i thought maybe he had crossed between the trees onto the other track so i stepped through the line of trees to the other track no one was there. then i thought again, he had some dirty dungarees on not something you would normally wear on a walk.
i've walked down there many times since and can not walk on the ballast stones without making a noise.
Neil you tell stories just like we hear in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
The stories of M. R. James. To read by the fire on a Winter's night. Scary "Whistle and I'll come to you". Well dramatised in first version with Michael Hordern. Shiver!!!!
It's M.R. James. P.D. James wrote detective novels.
@@danielcalderwood6674 Oh yes. My bad Daniel!!! Thanks. Dunno why PD. Was in my mind. She sometimes writes odd stuff too.
Montague Rhodes James , one of the best ghost story writers ever . A few of the BBC''s " A Ghost Story for Christmas " are adaptations of his stories .
@@samuel56551 Yes. His stories are in a class of their own.
That scared me when I was younger at mums
In the 1970s, a tall man in a long black trenchcoat kept following us. We first saw him on a farm in upstate NY, during a party with a campfire. He was very menacing and told my friend, 'you know I could kill you.' Later that summer, he showed up at a festival in another state--we never spoke to him. That fall, he appeared to my friend again as he was hitchhiking. Who or what he was, we never knew.
What a relief . You see. I found myself in the backseat of a car in that exact area - soaking wet and the driver had inexplicably disappeared . I was drunk and couldn’t drive . I explained that to the officer …. He didn’t believe me . Can I have my drivers license back now ?
I have a had a couple of strange experiences on the A64 in Yorkshire around 5 years apart and 30 miles from each other but still unnerving
I don’t want to put this out for everyone but I had a very odd experience so I believe this guy. My experience was not good but not threatening. My daughter was also witness. It’s not something I share at all because I think some of us, maybe you too, and your friend, are on a different wave length. They couldn’t comprehend my experience and would judge me even though I wasn’t the only witness.
I already feel I’ve said too much. Love your videos. ❤️
Never be afraid to tell of your experiences. There are more people than you can imagine who understand.
Don't worry so much about what other people think. Go free.
Neil, you are a great narrator, thank you.
A similar thing happened to my friend when she was a district nurse. Her and a colleague in the car were driving back from visits to their base, to write up their notes,which was an old hospital. A woman walked out in front of the car and they both screamed. Barbara braked and stopped. They both got out the car fearing they had knocked someone over , but there was no one there. I believe my friend 💯, plus she had her colleague in the car and they both seen her.
Many voices talking over one another when the family rented a rural house for summer holiday 10 km from Rennes, France ( when i was 12 y old ) i still hear them like it was yesterday, but it was NOT scary.
Tom, Brussels.
New to your channel brilliant just wish the story's were longer brilliant tho
Thanks for sharing
When you are driving you are prone to mentally drift off, its like a state of meditation but you still can drive using your subconscious..This drifting off is a disassociated state. Whilst in a disassociated state we are able to contact non local reality. Some names for you: Eleanor Piper, Edgar Casey and St Joseph of Cuppertino. All used disassociated states deliberately or intrinsically to transcend our normal horizons. In 2022, 3 people shared a Nobel Prize for their work proving non local reality. What this means in all probability is that space and time are illusionary and we are all interconnected. In our normal waking mode our senses dull our full range of senses which go beyond the traditional 5. Thus meditation and psychedelics for example can change our awareness. The realisation of our interconnectedness hopefully will trigger a new social / economic paradigm away from both nationalism and capitalism, for without such change our existence has but a poor prognosis.
Communism ☭. No thanks.
There was a great man who was there one minute and all of a sudden just vanished!!!!!Mark Steyn🤔?????
To pick someone up and wait 10 minutes to start talking is strange. Why would you wait 10 minutes in a car, in the dark, with a stranger???
Odd??
He could have spinner you a line, because he knows you’re a celebrity and perhaps he wanted to catch your attention.
Thank you Neil such an interesting story, similar stories happen near to us on Bluebell Hill Maidstone, I’ve heard the police have files and files of these encounters ..I wonder if it’s some kind of glitch…whatever causes these encounter..it’s fascinating…and thank you for sharing ..(I’m loving your Haunted Britain book, and thoroughly recommend it 😊
See my tale of Bluebell Hill, above….
Earlier this year I woke up in the night, not having been asleep for that long. Standing at the end of my bed was a multi-coloured hologram of my partner, who was actually working away at the time. I was definitely awake, no question about it. I didn't scare me. I actually felt reassured by it.
When people hear a paranormal story and their mind defaults to “ah, but were they on drugs” has neither had a paranormal experience nor drugs. Someone taking a drug will not suspend the laws of physics.
This is a classic energy imprint 'ghost' or a guardian spirit.
When we, as beings of energy, do something routinely through our lives an energy trail is left and sometimes perceivable in certain circumstances.
I used to live in Cheshire, and the local abbey (Vale Royal Abbey) has thousands of sightings over the years of the monks that used to live there.
A guardian can often protect you personally or protect a certain place that they died and appear when the same conditions as when they passed are happening to others.
I remember a similar story of a driver giving someone a lift between Frome and Nunney in Somerset.
Whole family and many visiting friends have seen family home ghost.Not unusual
Your friend may be clairvoyant but not know it.....some poor soul lost..look for past records of the area and any one missing or met with an accident on the road..thanks for these...
Some of us understand fine well and are very knowledgeable on who and what we are. Its that certain bodies are choosing to ignore it
Maybe it was a lost soul that just needed to experience compassion in order to move on.
I recall hearing of a man travelling on a lonely wet road in the early hours of the morning in the Scottish Highlands when he drove past an old lady in dark clothes he decided to go back and offer a lift when he got to where he had seen her nobody there just a hare
This kind of story is heard of in South Africa, in the Karoo region inland from Cape Town, it's a semi-desert land a bit like the old west in the US. So many people pick up a phantom hitchhiker in the dark, they turn around to see her and she's gone.
Strangely enough, there were a lot of Scots who settled there in colonial times, too.
Thanks Neil ' just wanted to say ' the same thing happened to the actor Telly Savalas , this story is told by himself which is available to watch on here, regards
There’s definitely more than the eye can see…
Where i used to live we had a high walled carpark, One morning leaving the carpark i looked bothways to the left was a dark haired lady in a red coat waiting to cross the road, to the right is a roundabout. as i pulled out turning left, WHERE has that lady gone ???? She was no where to be seen, there was no where to hide behind as its all open, I mentioned this to someone else who lived there and they had seen the same lady and the same happened to them. Ghost or time rip??? weird
I find it totally fascinating.I do believe in Spirits or Ghosts.
Go to the northern line lift area of bank tube station at 3am like I did one time as the night supervisor and see what you experience..because i know what i heard..didn't see them but i heard them.
3am? Not open to the public. What did you hear?
@@andrewestbrook4473 I was the night supervisor..as it says.
Fascinating Niel
Could he of slipped into the time line then out again or just be a gohst
I really believe this man was telling the truth
Biblically it is likely this "person" was an Angel. Yes, we do have Angels protecting us.
Some people attract poltergeist. They are vibrating on a different frequency when they have these experiences. He's telling you the truth. People who say they don't know if the believe in the afterlife or God or whatever. Then I remind them of the double ganger they told me about. When their mother or sister greeted them and they went into another room, to find mother, or sister, were in another roomeven on a different floor level. Ofcourse then they say oh yes good point. The person remembers that and realises they have attempted to separate their experience from what usually is their experience of every day life.
It really isn't about whether ghosts exist but which ghost is what type and what kind of haunting is it. There is another historian who dresses a a puritan from Oliver Cromwell's era. He would tell us about faries being responsible for eome hauntings. Just because we put so called science in place of spiritual understanding it doesn't totally rid us of the spirit experiences. Until very recently science and spirituality were inseparable. But just because we make a point of separating them it doesn't mean they don't start with combination.
I’ve mentioned this story on another channel, uncles mate, working in Culloden House, many years ago, tradesman, witnessed a man in period highland dress emerge from one wall walk across ballroom area and out the other wall, solid as you or I my uncle told me, it the most unusual thing he noticed was the apparition looked as if he had been in a river, soaked appearance. My uncles friend refused to work there unless another colleague was on site with him.
I remember staying at a B&B in South Wales and we were with a group of people who didn’t fancy the idea of staying in the attic room and talked about someone called George. they didn’t alaberate anymore about George other than the possibility of a ghost. Anyway to cut a long story short a group of us decided that we didn't mind staying in the room as long as we were not on our own in the middle of the night i woke up to a sence of something in the room with us everyone else was asleep. I felt very afraid like an evil presence was in the room and a sense that something evil had happened in that room a while before we had stayed there. The next morning i told the others of my experience and they said that that would have been George and that George had been murdered by his wife who had caught him in bed with another female 😳 as you can imagine 😂 i refused to go back into the room and stayed somewhere else but I never forgot about that incident.
There's only this moment. It's all happened, can't be changed and here we are in flux. Liberty caps, the heroes dose. Is a tool to experience a break away from the flux. Imagine hearing everything that you ever said in a room in an instant along with all the emotional attachment to each moment and furthermore processing into self realisation. Humbling & enlightening. Obvious why it's illegal. Life is an experience if nothing else.
Perthshire is in Perthshire, not the highlands. The clue is in the name! You’ll know when you’re in the highlands because there will be lots of big hills and mountains. Hence the name.
Proves that Scottish ghosts may be Lowland as well as Highland, eh ?
We don't know it all! there is much to know as the human race goes forward. These descriptions and reminiscences are often real to the teller. So whats going on??
He had a little too much Benedryl is all...
I remember Neil from the programme Two Men in a Trench. An academic, a scholar. So when I saw this I had to ask myself "Why?" Which I suppose will only be answered by reading his book.👍👍
Neil--: ) There are MANY dimensions especially in Scotland;--I have witnessed ""it"" First--hand there 18 months ago...(& and I wasn't dreaming either..).
It seems as if somehow information is leaking through time, mostly forward but sometimes backwards.
Often it isn't completely coherent, and appears messy choppy or disjointed.
There is also often a high strangeness associated with these events, such as outrageous coincidences, doubling-up or duplication of names or places, and quite often environmental factors such as notable weather events, geological formations, bodies of water and forests etc,
Another aspect is the lone-observer factor. It is oddly common that these phenomena seemingly defy correlation or just simply exist only as stand-alone events, causally untethered by nature.
Anyone remember the movie. 'The Ghost of Flight 401. Great movie (Ernest Borgnine.)
I checked into a hotel near Heathrow. It yad 1,500 bedrooms. Iwill put you in room 401, said the hotel receptionist. It startled me as the story of ghost pilots from Eastern Airlines had become a source of fascination to me. With trepidation, I entered the room. What was I expecting? Red lights is the answer. On the Internet the eyes of the pilots had been doctored in a photo giving them the appearance of ghosts. These eyes had appeared to me just days before an old friend had passed. My eyes swept around the room. Nothing. I breathed a sigh of relief. I laid down on the bed. Looking up at the ceiling I saw the smoke alarm. Two red lights blinking. I knew then my mother would have some trouble as that very day a fireman was visiting her home to install new smoke alarms. On my return home, my mother complained of feeling unwell. She very nearly died of UTI. True story.
I often go somewhere to elsewhere🤣😂🤣 Neil, I don’t know you but your storytelling cracks me up😂
