The above two pictures show footage from a closed circuit camera at the palace of Henry VIII (Hampton Court Castle) just outside London. Security was concerned about a fire exit that was often found open and checked the footage to find this ethereal figure opening and then closing the doors. The figure appears to be wearing long, flowing robes, and could be a woman - maybe King Henry's 3rd wife, Jane Seymour who died on the premises shortly after giving birth. This footage was taken in December, 2003.

Jane Seymour????

I'm getting chills at work right now, but don't stop the stories.

My roommate has some incredible stories as well and hopefully he can post them, if he's up to it.

A friend of mine worked at the Terrell State Hospital while we were in college. He spoke of one of the wards that all of them hated or refused to go in because they did not house any patients. They said that if you turned on the light in the room, you could see the imprint of where someone had been laying on several of the beds.

We had a glass break in the kitchen one night on the floor as it fell off the counter. It was in the middle of the counter when I went to bed.

I too have had that sleep paralysis thing happen and it is absolutely terrifying.

My ex-wifes cousin who was 7 at the time came downstairs one morning and said "I just talked to Grandpa last night" His mom asked him what he was talking about. He said that Grandpa would come at night and talk to him. Screwed up thing is "Grandpa" dies 10 years earlier by a heart attack in the house. The boy had never met him before.
There was a reason I hated staying in that house.

This is a great thread...and I'll post my two stories to keep it going...

~
I saw Rebecca at the Lodge in Cloudcroft, NM. She's a 'famous' ghost, so she should be on a list somewhere.

~
My junior year in college I was at my then boyfriend's house. He lived in a trailer park off Leonard and 47. There used to be a lake there, but it was drained to lower property value. Back in the brush, well behind all the properties was an old deserted building, it was called the '***** House' and was apparently the favorite spot for many old gentlemen, way back in the day, in B\CS.

We had decided earlier that day to keep our wits about us and go there that night. No alcohol, no drugs, no mind altering anything...

While sitting around, playing video games a fly kept pestering us. At one point, it landed on my boyfriend's hand and wouldn't move. He fluttered his hand, he blew on the fly...all the things you'd do to get rid of it, but it just sat there, like it knew something. Finally it flew away. That was just weird...

Later on the evening we started our trek over to the '***** house'. There were flies everywhere, like we were getting closer and closer to something decaying. We made it to the building and slipped in through a windowless frame. The building was old and musty, and flies seemingly everywhere. We scanned the main room with a flashlight and investigated the side rooms. There was nothing in the building save one tattered shirt in the middle of the main room.

We sat, and waited...

and waited...

and waited...

'Did you feel that?' my then boyfriend asked, showing me his arm riddled with goosebumps.

'no'

and we waited.

All of a sudden I felt finger tips on the nape of my neck, I sat still and said 'what's behind me?'

The flashlight glared in my eyes, 'nothing's there', but the flies were thick.

The sensation got stronger and stronger and the fingertips on my neck began to feel like a palm wrapping itself around, then it felt like two hands grabbing my neck. 'What's behind me?!'

'Nothing.'

My hair got pulled and I wound up on my back on the floor, it felt like something was standing on my chest, and then the shirt started to move...

My then boyfriend stood up and grabbed my hand, 'we're leaving!' but right when he said that it looked like something knocked him off his feet. I mean his feet went up into the air and he landed with a thud on his back.

I couldn't move, I was honestly paralyzed by the thing 'sitting' on my chest. The shirt started to cover up my face and my then boyfriend stood up again and grabbed me...

He had to yank me so hard that my arm felt like it would come out of socket, it felt like being pulled out from underneath someone else. We got up and ran...jumped through the window and ran some more.

It felt like something was nipping at our heels the entire time, and when we made it back to the house, the lights were all off...we had left them on. We went inside checked the locks on all the doors and windows and sat on the couch and each drank a glass of vodka...

The rest of the night we could have sworn we heard something trying to get in. Windows getting scratched at and doorknobs jiggling.

This was the most terrifying night of my life, and it changed my perspective on 'ghosts'.

These are kind of scary.





Building is on fire in the second one I believe.

You people are nucking futs!

aggiebug05:

was that the trailer park behind the Jerry's food store on Leonard?, or the mix of trailers/duplexes/small houses right on Leonard/47?.

A buddy of mine is from Mexico, where his family owns a large ranch near Monterrey. He's told me some crazy stories about things that have happened there. I'm not sure if I should believe him, or if he was playing "scare the whitey", but this was my favorite....

Again, his family owns the ranch, but after his grandparents died, noone lived in the ranch house for several years, but they tried to keep it up. One night he took his girlfriend out there to "spend some quality time together", and upon "completion", they started getting ready to go.

He was sitting on the bed getting dressed while his girlfriend went down to the kitchen to get a drink. He swears that, while he was sitting there, he felt somebody walk in, "walk" past him, and sit down on the bed next to him (said the bed moved). Of course he grabbed his crap and started ran out, but as he was heading down the hall, he heard his girlfriend scream. He ran towards the kitchen, and she ran towards the bedroom.

They met each other and ran to the car, with her crying the whole way. She told him that she went to the kitchen, opened the fridge and got some water, but when she turned around, there was old man sitting at the table. She's half naked of course and thought they were there alone, so she screamed and ran to my friend. Anyway, they drove back to his house.

They got back to his parents house, and were in the kitchen or living room or somewhere, when the girlfriend started crying again. She pointed to a picture on the wall and told my friend that's who was in the house. Turns out, the picture was of my friends grandfather, who had been dead for several years.

Anyway, kinda long and anticlimatic, but still entertaining. I hope it's true! He's told me several stories about his ranch and the weird things that have happened out there. He's invited me to go with him sometime, but I'm not sure I want to go......

Many years ago I was an RA at a school in Missouri. A few years prior to my working there another RA had been accidentally killed, and afterwards all of the RAs who lived in her dorm room reported strange occurrances. Some would wake up in the night to find the bathroom lights on or the bathroom door closed and locked from the inside when no one was living in the suite next door. Some reported knocks on the door when no one else was in the building. One RA reported that she had fallen asleep on her bed while studying and when she woke a comforter had been placed on top of her while the book she was reading was still in her hand.

One time in grade school, I had woken up, gotten out of bed and was walking out my door to go to the bathroom. It was around 10 AM on a sunny day. As I'm rounding my bed, I suddenly fall sideways. I thought to myself, "Wow, I'm wide awake and I still managed to fall!". As I correct my balance, I suddenly get "pushed" the other way. I stopped and looked behind me, but there was nothing.

It had literally felt like I had been pushed twice. I felt the pressure on my shoulders and I had fallen over twice. It still freaks me out to this day and I'm getting goosebumps and a dry mouth just typing this.

TH...I guess, if you're going N47 and turn right on Leonard it is the first 'park' on the left...

Wow, I used to live in there, right behind the duplexes labled "Riverside Estates"

O rly?

When abouts?

What road? My ex was on Fowler...

Until I was 4 yrs old my parents, sister and I lived out on our family farm in a trailer house at the intersection of two dirt roads. My mom has said that a small girl was killed there many years before that at that intersection and that at night my mom could hear little feet in the kitchen and that she had a music box that would start playing in the middle of the night.

bug:

5384 Mallard, Decemeber 1999 to March 2003

I started hanging out over there after that, around Dec. of 2003.

At least you know the area I'm talking about...it's all sorts of freaky.

I know the area, didn't know about the ouse you are talking about.

I didn't talk to many of the neighbors, there were some strange folks out there.

No kidding! One time I accidentally saw Agdrumma get out of the bathroom after a shower without a towel. A furry beast he was. Somovabeech looked like Chewbacca got in a fight with a grizzly bear! To this day, I still can't wear a sweater

wow, the goat man.......

Just outside of Belton there is a boyscout camp with "lady hearts cave", which they used to say was goat mans woman and supposedly her heart was still in the cave....

FINALLY, I hear someone else that watches Ghost Hunters (though the new guy on International I'm not a fan of)...

On the ghost side of things, haven't really ran into anything myself, but I do know that my grandmother has had the feeling of my uncle sitting on the edge of the bed in his old room after he had passed, and also that a relative had supposedly seen my great, great grandmother at the sink after her funeral (she was always one to insist on doing the dishes, and they had just finished up a meal...)

I'd love to catch onto some local group or something and really check some places out....

I was in this big house one time and going down this hallway on my tri-cycle. When I turned the corner I saw these two little girl twins at the end of the hallway. Scared the hell outta me!!

I am a big fan of "Ghost Hunters" also.

Yeah, it was a weird area. Strange and quiet.

We'd walk around at night and there is a 'frequency' on those roads. I can't explain it...but it was strange.

I know this is bad...but the red circle is the house I was at and the blue circle is the building we went to.

thats a pic of the old jefferson davis hospital in houston that was torn down a few years ago. my friend snuck in there one time bc it was supposedly haunted, something happened in there but he doesnt talk about it. probably nothing, but that place does look creepy as hell

I went there in High School with friends. We found out what was making the noises and movements at night. Crackheads staying the night there. That was pretty scary though the first time we saw him walking up the stairs.

This is interesting if you have a few minutes

I never even knew there was a building back there bug, I'll have to go check it out this weekend when I am down there.

DON'T DO IT!!!!

In fact, I'm guessing it's still there, but I don't know. There's so much construction going on it has probably been torn down.

Let me know how it turns out, heck...I'd like to go check it out again...during the day time, though.

Freaky stuff, now I'm scared.


What was Squilliam's first you tube post. I read teh comments and decided not to watch it.



I had a teacher in middle school who was pretty religious. He was divorced and his daughter was in my same grade (but obviously didn't have her dad as a teacher). At one point, she was discussing how her dad had become so religious. Prior to becoming so religious, he wasn't the best man, did a lot of drinking, cheating, wasn't around for his kids, etc. Anyways, the wife divorced him. Soon after, and the guy SWEARS to this, he was asleep and night and felt "something" in his room. He woke up and saw a big goblin-demon-thing at the foot of his bed. He says it was just like you'd think a Biblical demon of Satan looked: horns, red lizard face, wings, tail, claws. It was perched on his footboard looking at him and slowing flapping his wings. He was frozen in place - couldn't move. Then it hopped off the footboard, started to walk slowly away and faded into nothing. He didn't go back to bed that night. Next day, he went to a church and talked with the preacher about changing his life around, which he did.

He said it was the devil there warning him about what was to become of him if he kept up his ways.

Freaky stuff.

Sweet...

Anyone else down?

I'm telling you if the building is still there...then it would be awesome. Timing would be an issue with the construction though.

what are they builing out there?

i'll be in town this weekend
