The Best Ones

A Castle Haunting

October 28, 2022

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...

A Hotel Haunting

October 28, 2022

Today’s tale comes from Quora user Mark Mitram . When I announced to Quora that I was looking for true ghost stories that I could share on this channel Mark responded with the following tale, which he claimed would be short and boring, and yet, I would argue that often the short and boring stories are the most believable. Surely if a story wasn’t true it would tend toward hyperbole and indulge in too much excitement. But when someone offers a humble small tale about a random event, it does lend a sense of credibility to the tale. At least, to me it does. Some time ago Mark landed a job at the Promenade hotel, Branson Landing, as a room attendant. One day he was in a particular bedroom within the hotel with the door closed, changing pillowcases, a somewhat normal event for someone in his position, that is until unexpectedly the door opened completely, and by itself. At that moment Mark didn’t think too much of the occurrence, that is, until the door then closed complete...

The Haunting of New Zealand's St James Theatre

October 17, 2022

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 Haunted Roommate

October 17, 2022

Today's story comes from Quora user "Old Man Harker", a self-proclaimed skeptic of the supernatural until one day while living in Los Angeles a co-worker asked him if he would like to be her roommate due to her current roommate relocating to New York. Harker recounted that his co-worker and her friends were more than mildly attractive, and, being a red-blooded American male he immediately accepted the invitation. However the new living situation came with a disturbing twist; something supernatural was stalking the outgoing roommate... Her move to New York had been postponed, so when the day came for Harker to move in he was given the option of sleeping on a very uncomfortable couch. But being the sort of man he was, he sucked it up and stoically took to the new sleeping arrangement. But as if the lack of a bed wasn't enough the roommate informed him that weird things would sometimes happen in the ap...

My Haunted Childhood - My personal true story

October 16, 2022

To quote Shakespeare, “There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” If you were to put a dot on the biggest piece of paper you could find, everything inside that dot represents your knowledge and experience, while the rest of the paper, is only a fraction of everything that you don’t know and have not yet perceived. Welcome to Kerin's Kuriosities, where you will hear the stories of those people who have encountered the invisible, perceived the imperceivable and now believe the unbelievable. In today’s tale I will share with you my own personal encounter with the unseen. I grew up in a small beach town called Maraetai, in the eastern suburbs of Auckland New Zealand, having moved there when my mother remarried, at the age of four, and thence having what passed as a normal childhood. That is until I was 12 years old. As my family expanded with the arrival of my two sisters, ...

The Hobby Shop Ghost

October 25, 2022

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.” ...

My Mysterious Premonition

October 16, 2022

Today's tale is another of a more personal nature and involves a curious experience I had when I was in my early twenties involving an uncanny premonition. I was living in Brisbane Australia, sharing a house with two other people. For the purpose of this retelling we shall refer to them as Jack and Louise, as their real identities aren't necessary for the story. Both Jack and Louise owned dogs. Louise owned a beautiful female German Shepherd with strong protective maternal instincts, while Jack's dog was a slow elderly golden retriever who seldom reacted to much of anything. The German Shepherd would bark at the mention of a possible intruder whereas the golden retriever wouldn't budge for much of anything; o ne time I had to pick him up and get him out of the way when an angry poisonous snake crossed his path! He either didn't notice it or just didn't care! O ne day around 2002 I had planned...
