Let us know what you think, enjoy. 

 It moved on its own.

When I was about 13 years old we lived in a nice little cottage in Devon, it was a beautiful place we always wanted a cottage. One night I was alone at home it was at this point my mum had decided I was old enough to be alone without a babysitter for a few hours. I got bored so decided to watch a DVD in my bedroom, I was starting to get hungry so I decided to make a microwave pizza. I took it out and headed back upstairs to carry on watching my film. I heard loud banging downstairs and assumed my mum was back so I walked down and the door was locked and no one was there I checked everywhere. I went Into the kitchen thinking I may as well get a drink whilst I’m here and I saw the microwave was on and cooking something. I thought I maybe forgot and did it myself so I pushed the button to open it and I just went pale and felt shivers through me when I saw my old teddy was inside just sitting upright. A teddy I hadn’t seen since I was about 5 and thought we threw out! No windows open and the door was locked, I phoned my mum she just seemed confused but not really paying attention thinking I’m playing a prank. Still till this day I can’t understand how it happened and I made sure to throw it out after that!
He flew to grandads house. 

When I was younger, my older brother (he was about 5 at the time) woke up one morning and told my mum that he “flew to nanny and Grandad’s house” (we lived in Devon, they lived in Liverpool) he went on to tell her that he flew over the motorway, and it was raining. 

Later that day my nan rang my mum, and told her in the middle of the night, my grandad woke up and saw someone stood at the end of the bed, and that it was raining, could it have been my brother? 

 Who was there? 

I was lying in bed asleep with my husband when I woke up and he was sitting on the side of the bed. I asked him if he was ok and he didn’t answer me. I asked him “what’s wrong are you ok? ” and I turnt my bedside light on, whatever/whoever it was it looked like I had frightened it. Something jumped off my bed and knocked my grandads picture off the side with it. I screamed for my husband and he was in the other room. 

 The ghost who haunts the pub. 

I was locking up the side doors at my pub and putting the shutters down, it’s right next to the men’s toilets. I heard a flush and opposite the door is a window and as I looked in the window I saw a man walk from the toilets to the other side (where the sinks are) and I assumed it was a man.  I went back behind the bar and put the keys away and there was a man at the bar who was there the whole time and a woman that was very drunk and dancing. I checked everywhere that no one else was in the bar so I said to the other bar man ‘is that her boyfriend that’s in the toilet?’  and he said she came on her own that night so I said ‘then who’s the man in the toilets? ‘. He said ‘no ones in there’ and I said yes there is go see for yourself and as he went in, there was no one in there and no one could have left without us knowing. 

He died. 

When I was younger I was out with my childhood best friend.  I felt 3 taps on my shoulder I turned and said to my friend “I think my grandad just died”.  She laughed and said ‘what?’, I said I’m being serious my grandad has just died. A short few minutes later I had a call from my mum and she was crying and said to me your grandad has just died. 
She locked him in the bedroom. 

One night I had stayed out at a friends house so my mom was at home with just my 2 brothers. 

She was laid in bed with both of them reading a magazine when she heard some rustling and footsteps upstairs in the attic (me and my brothers bedrooms where up there), I’d had my bedroom window open that afternoon so she thought someone may have climbed through the window. She locked my brother in her bedroom and grabbed something to protect herself. 

When she got upstairs the windows where all closed and no one were there, as she started to walk back down some one came behind her, it was like a white figure. She ran back down to her bedroom and locked herself in for the rest of the night.

The alarm clock. 

My great grandad owned a big wooden clock, the day he died the clock stopped working on the time of his death. My grandad kept it and has tried everything but it won’t work and is still set the time of his death. Also my dad’s best friend was the one who discovered my dad when he had passed. For 2 weeks after he would wake up bang on 6:07am every morning. It turned out my dad’s alarm was set for 6:07am.
 

The village. 

I used to visit my aunts house a lot when I was younger I had cousins who were a similar age and the house was so big and there was always things to do. I remember being scared a lot at night for no reason when I stayed over.  I just always felt like someone was there watching me, the whole village gave me an eerie feeling, walking around there was always pictures of the old orphanage and gravesites nearby etc. One night I was sitting in the living room when I looked at the wall and saw a black figure of a man standing up, I just stared gawping, to scared to move I just froze. I blinked and it was gone. I told my aunty who said maybe it was someone waiting outside as the windows were open. I slept over again as my mum was working nightshifts, I woke up and went to the toilet and I stopped. I saw a man standing at the bathroom door, a half man. A dark figure of a man, but I could only see half of his body it was like the right side was just gone. He stood there with a cane, a black trench coat and a large black hat. I ran into the bedroom crying and woke up my older cousin who checked and saw no one there. I don’t know how I slept that night but it took me a year before I felt OK to visit the house again. I told my aunt about this not long ago as we got talking about old times and she told me she experienced a lot of things in that home, we both researched online as we got curious and it turns out the house was previously a place where the kept the bodies until they could be buried. My heart sank.

The Wonderful World of Spirit by Ghost Seekers Wales


The most infamous question … do ghosts really exist??

There will of course be different opinions on this and there is no right or wrong answer. After all, there are believers and non-believers and then there’s those who sit on the fence, unsure whether they want to believe or not.

Nothing has been proven in this field yet. Although many believe the subconscious mind plays a very important role and sceptics will argue that the mind can and does play tricks on us. But there is also the belief that some of us are more open than others and can communicate on a much higher level through abilities that we all have but many of us do not use or have forgotten how to use.

So, for those who DO believe … what is a haunting??

In simple terms, a haunting is a series of events where paranormal activity occurs.

It is not limited to specific locations and can happen anywhere at any time but most people are not aware of this. The term “haunting” does in fact inflict fear in many minds with people believing it to be something negative.

There are of course many different types of hauntings.

But having a paranormal experience doesn’t necessarily make it a haunting. Too many people are quick to believe one thing or another without truly thinking it over properly or even carrying out the correct research.

As a human race, most of us believe our loved ones watch over us and this is probably more common than we realise.

When we are hurt, angry or upset who do we turn to?? Family?? Friends??

Usually those closest to us.

So why should it be any different when our loved ones pass on??

The right answer or the most logical answer is that it isn’t any different. Our loved ones come and go all the time … watching us grow and develop … seeing us progress in life … comforting us when we are feeling down … helping and supporting us through difficult times … and making sure that we are on the right track. They may not always make themselves known but they are always there when we truly need them.

How spirit make themselves known can vary depending on the type of spirit.

Poltergeists can be mischievous and at times malicious, often throwing and moving objects. Many mistakenly believe them to be negative but that’s not necessarily the case … some are very playful.

Intelligent Beings on the other hand are much more communicative, giving intelligent responses.

There are rare cases where attachments occur.

An attachment is when a spirit attaches itself to a person or a location.

Spirit attachments can happen for many reasons.

A lot of negative entities tend to feed off our emotions and our fears and are usually drawn to those who are more vulnerable … when someone is feeling down and depressed … or anyone who has suffered some sort of tragedy.

But spirit attachments to buildings and locations are very different … this is where there is a link or a connection between the spirit and the location.

How we communicate with spirit can also vary depending not only on our preferred methods and techniques but also on the type of spirit.

And more importantly, always have respect.

Contacting the spirit world is not a joke nor is it for the faint hearted. It is very serious and very real and not only is it offensive to those of us who do believe and who are passionate … the consequences of anyone who messes with things they do not understand and know nothing about can also have a massive impact.

To truly understand and learn about the paranormal would take many years of trial and error. And even today’s modern technology isn’t advanced enough to determine the true meaning of the paranormal or why it exists.

We live in a multi-dimensional world far more complex than we could ever imagine, communicating at different levels of existence.

Research into the spiritual realm is more important than ever before. But we will not and cannot achieve any real answers in our lifetime. As evolved as we are, the wonderful world of spirit is far too complex for the human mind and it will no doubt take many years before we are able to truly understand it.
