A Castle Haunting

Today’s tale is from Quora user, Wayne, who shared with me his brief encounter while visiting a castle in England on June 21st, 2009 at around 11:45 in the morning.

Unfortunately, he did not disclose the exact location, but it could have been in any one of the 4000 or so castles scattered throughout England.

In any case, Wayne, a computer scientist, found himself in the presence of 2 ladies dressed in medieval clothing. One sat at a small table while the other walked backwards and forwards.

The room they were next to was dimly lit by candles and Wayne, who was carrying his son at the time, thought he had stumbled into a re-enactment of some kind, so he said to his boy, “We better get out of the way because they look quite busy.”

Wayne then moved downstairs to find his wife and other son waiting for him below.

Then the whole family made their way back up the stairs to find that not only were the 2 ladies gone but so were the candles and table, replaced only with darkness.

It would be easy to discount this brief tale were it not one of many tales similar, in which people have encountered similar entities, not the least of which being the many ghosts of Windsor Castle, which I have discussed in a previous video.

What about you? Have you ever visited an ancient location and stumbled into a scene of ghosts? Did you perhaps not even realise they were ghosts until later when they suddenly disappeared?

Please share your tale with me at tellyourtalehere@gmail.com and until next time, watch out for creepy castles!

The Haunting of New Zealand's St James Theatre

    In today’s tale we’ll be visiting the strange occurrences of a supernatural nature that have occurred in the 110-year-old St James Theatre in Wellington, New Zealand.     I like sharing the tales of ghosts that are common to my own country because we are a young nation in the greater scheme of Western civilization. So often it is a given that we associate hauntings with centuries old castles and other ancient buildings; the edifices of whatever society left them to be occupied by generations of human interaction, whilst here in New Zealand the oldest European building is  The Mission House at Keriker i, built only in 1822. Even New Zealand’s indigenous people, the Maori, made these lands their home as early as the 1250s, a time when England’s Windsor Castle was already close to 300 years old! And yet my country maintains its own rich traditions of hauntings and happenings of the bizarre, proving that the age of a thing is not necessarily a pre...

The Hobby Shop Ghost

       Today’s tale comes from  Quora User Marcia Mason , a former Mechanical Engineer who ran a small hobby machine shop, the location of which was not disclosed.     For a time Marcia had an employee called Terry, who, though a former veteran with a disability was a good machinist who worked the machines until he suddenly died one day of an apparent heart attack.     In life Terry had resided on sight in a small efficiency apartment above the shop and Marcia was left with the task of settling his estate before reorganizing the shop for the next possible employee.     It was during this time, as Marcia was taking inventory, that they discovered a special tool was missing and after searching in vain for some time Marcia shouted in frustration, “Where is it???”     Marcia was not expecting a reply. But shockingly a disembodied voice simply replied, “Secon d drawer on the left.”    ...
