GeordieSteve Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 This is gonna be a long one. Not me but my parents (before I was on the scene). They owned a couple of flats years ago. Lived in one and rented one out. My mother knew the place was haunted (had no choice with everything that was going on) but my dad refused to believe it. When they left the house to go to work, the china dolls used to be facing the wall when they got back. If the dishes were left in the sink unwashed they used to rattle until they were washed. One day they were skint… when they woke in the morning there was a pound note trapped between the cupboard doors. My mother used to constantly complain about running water in the bedroom. She’d often feel someone trying to pull her out of bed but she never went. Only time my old man agreed there was something up was when he went to the toilet and every time he turned the light on, it got switched back off seconds later. Final straw was when my mother was washing her face to go to work, she looked in the mirror and saw a young lad leaning against the door, smartly dressed. In the end they spoke to the last owners and they confirmed the sounds of running water… apparently the owners before them weren’t very lucky… they had a young lad who had died at that house. Their bathroom was where the bedroom is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 My sister saw my Nan from up in York sitting on the end of her bed. Only thing is we were in Guildford at the time and it was the night my Nan passed away (which we found out about the next day). Very spooky........

Pete Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Me and the missus heard what sounded like an old fashioned conversation in a shop for about 10 seconds. This was in my student flat, right above an old disused shop. Freaked me out as I investigated every possibility of where the sound could've come from.

Ian C Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 by who? Not sure as it's on a new development, under 4 years old. I'm not big on 'haunted' stuff although this kind of thing makes my skin crawl I can't rationally believe in them. And you all know that I tend to investigate stuff I don't understand and think and think and talk and think and try to figure stuff out? Well, I couldn't explain this one My garage is a double one, and at the back is some industrial shelving units that my housemate's dad supplied. My housemate is a messy bastard so his side of the garage is a complete tip - the shelves are stuffed full of half used paint tins, old stereo gear, stacker boxes of sales rep freebies, tools, cardboard boxes, bags of nails, mastic tubes... you get the idea My side is somewhat more structured and tidier Anyway, a few times over the last couple of years, while working on the Supra in the evening, a mechanical noise would start up from within the depths of the shelving. A motor noise, kind of like a slow electric can opener - whirr whirr whirr. It'd go on long enough for me to hear it, extricate myself from the engine bay, look up to figure out where the noise was coming from, and start towards the shelves, then it would stop. I heard it about 5 or 6 times over the course of a year and a half... Now, at the start of spring, car out getting a respray job, mucking out the garage seemed like an idea. Both me and my housemate cleared the shelves off - the whole lot. I specifically went through every single box and tub and thing and widget looking for what could make this noise. Battery screwdriver? Completely the wrong sound. Nothing else fit the bill. Hmmmm. Slung a lot of stuff out. Put some stuff back. Forgot about it. About 6 months later, I heard it again. Same place in the shelving. Same noise. Haven't heard it since. Can't explain it. That mixed with the conductive concrete floor (as witnessed by Digsy) has given my garage the haunted rep. I suggested putting a video camera in the garage with a long play tape in it one night but Digsy said it was " a good way to shit yourself up" lol -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Digsy said it was " a good way to shit yourself up" lol id agree with that - making my skin crawl just thinking about what could be caught on video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Strangely I wasn't overly concerned, just more curious than anything as to what the hell it was making the noise! I poked around a bit with a jack handle once, thinking "if this was a film I was watching I'd be shouting 'get out of the facking garage you fool' right now" Should I do the camera thing? Maybe just set up a mike going to a PC with a lot of HD space? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage is standalone from the house. It has some electrics, but they are as far away from the noise source as is physically possible. I really have to rule out anything battery powered as it's happened over the course of two years. Hmmm. Probably built on the ruins of an old indian call centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't think I've seen one myself, but I used to work in a branch of Tesco's that was built on an old brewery that was in turn built on an old hospital site. Coincidentally, my Dad used to work as a delivery driver at the brewery when it was there. He used to say that there were stories that it was haunted, and there was a (quite real) crazy old crone who used to leave food and things for a long-dead relative down one of the alleys there. There were several stories about the Tesco's store that replaced it. The most common one was seeing a man with a moustache walking around inside the warehouse or canteen - apparently real anough to not really grab your attention until you realised afterwards that he shouldn't have been in there. More often than not you would see him out of the corner of your eye and one or two times I thought I did but that was after hearing the stories and so I didn't really trust my imagination. Another one was a night shift worker who spilled something and was in the process of mopping it up. He looked away for a few seconds and then looked back to see that there was a tral of footprints leading out of the puddle of water. My best mate worked with me there at the time, and used to stay late at nights. He actually claimed to see something like a person-sized cloud of smoke moving around the shop floor for a few seconds. The one that intrigues me the most is that part of the night time locking up prcedure reqired that all staff still in the building (usually three of four) had to be in a specific room when the alarm was set, and then had to follow a specific route out of the store in a certain time to avoid tripping the alarm. One night, all the people were in the room setting the alarm when the lights on the phone lit up to show that someone in a different office had picked a reciever up. Phone glitch? You decide. I think I'd rather see a UFO or the Yeti or something than see a ghost because seeing a ghost opens up all sorts of possibilities and probably change the way you look at a lot of things.

Ark Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 My mother-in-law claims to have seen a ghost in an old manor house she used to be a gardener at - lady in a victorian style dress walked down the corridor towards her, then turned 90 degrees and through the wall. Investigations showed that there had once been a doorway there. Mind you, the same person once claimed that she had felt the presence of the devil in our spare bedroom one night...and I hadn't even had a curry!

RobSheffield Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 i used to work for HSBC in sheffield, they do all the data storage, in a partially underground complex of computer units i worked the night shift, 11pm to 6am, and often the supervisor would leave me on my own, all i did was replace DAT and DLT cartridges after backups had run. it wasnt uncommon to see engineering staff wander around during the night (quietest time). now one night, my supervisor had called in sick, and the security man said, 'you are on your own tonight, just me and you, watch out for the ghost' now i thought he was shitting me up so i laughed! i went down and was very busy working on my own for the first 6 hours, but at about 5am, i was returning to the office, down the corridor when a chap in workmans boots and a flat cap wandered past me.....then turned through a door that wasnt there - i didnt think anything of it, then turned round and saw it was a plain wall with no door in it! needless to say i ran to the security office and sat with the gaurd for the rest of the night!!! afterwards the guard told me that one of the construction team had had an industrial accident while they were fitting the huge boilers...he was crushed underneath. the bit i was walking past was the boiler suite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Once a year for the past 5 years I have installed display equipment in the Birmingham Anatomy Buildings (Part of the old Birmingham hospital - used for teaching). To avoid disturbing the staff and doctors I always install the equipment at night on a Sunday when nobodys around but security guards. Its fookin scary I can tall ya!! The bays in which I install the equipment are old 18th century dissection and amputation rooms with slanted floors to let the blood run away. The rooms are normally used as storage and filled with body parts in pickling jars filled with REAL heads, brains, hearts, hands, etc etc (again, for teaching). In the next rooms are the skeletons. Not plastic teaching models,.. but the real deal Last year after I had finished I hitched a ride in this old maintenance lift to the ground floor. It was only after I had closed the door on the lift when I noticed how grim the walls and floor looked. I didn’t dare touch the door to get out once the lift had stopped so I kicked the door open with my foot. From the other side I heard a shout and saw this security guard looking petrified. Turns out the lift is rarely used, as its thought to be haunted which is why the guard was so shocked to see it in operation in the middle of the night. They called it “the dead mans lift” as it was designed to be used by corpses going up to be dissected. Think I’ll take the stairs next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra-lad Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 i have a friend who's house was apparently "haunted" from many people who have died there before, and has told me that she had been sitting in the living room watching tv one night with the door open, when she heard a huge bang and the hoover randomly fell the down the stairs which had been safely kept in an airing cupboard at the top of the stairs and around the corner. Plus, she's showed me loads of photo's of inside her house and every one has a small, circular glow in it like an orb. She moved out a few months ago though. Spooky!
