The Cursed Chair of Thomas Busby

19 January 2018 | January 2018, Your Stories

Can a chair be cursed? If you visit the small jewel of a museum in Thirsk you will see the rather strange sight of an oak chair hung from the ceiling in one of the display areas. The chair was suspended at the explicit request of its owner to prevent anyone from ever sitting on it including maintenance and cleaner. The museum has never broken its promise in over 30 years despite numerous requests and even the threat of legal action. Local legend has it that the chair belonged to Thomas Busby, a thug, thief and drunkard who lived in North Yorkshire in the latter part of the 1600s. Busby married Elizabeth, the daughter of a small time petty crock, Daniel Awety who lived near the village of Kirby Wiske. Awety had

This Man Kept Calling His Loved Ones… Even Though He’d Been Dead For Hours…

19 January 2018 | Your Stories

Mysterious phone calls from the dead make for excellent horror movie plots, but this eerie phenomenon also happens in real life. Many stories of unexplained phone calls show that they’re not just the result of grief-stricken imaginings. Although people try to explain these odd occurrences by blaming malfunctioning cell phone technology, reports of phantom phone calls go back to at least 1967. Charles E. Peck’s Metrolink death is one of the most prominent and creepy stories about phone calls from dead people since author Dean Koontz’s deceased mother phoned to give him a warning. Peck was killed instantly in a horrible 2008 Metrolink commercial train accident, but before anyone knew he was dead, his family members received 35 calls from his phone for several hours following the disaster. Whether it was due to phone damage or the train rider reaching out from

Calke Abbey is a run down stately home that is now owned by the National Trust in the UK. It is kept in the state that it was in when handed over to the NT and so visitors are treated to a glimpse of its former glories.

Paranormal Sex – A new book….

03 January 2018 | G. Michael Vasey's Nightmare Corner, Your True Encounters

Just recently, there have been quite a lot of rather lurid news stories about women that claim to have sex with ghosts. It’s almost like 50 shades of wraith if you follow this stuff! This piqued my interest and set me off on a quest to discover the truth about paranormal sex. What is it? Can anyone do it? And, what might the consequences be? The funny thing is that I recently had a deeply unsettling experience myself on a train to Germany with the old hag that had a sexual aspect to it. So, with that in mind, I delved deeply into the old hag, succubi and incubi and shadow people finding all of them associated with sleep paralysis. So, there was the explanation then – sleep paralysis, a

The Phoenix Poltergeist

30 December 2017 | Ghosts in the news, Poltergeist, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

A word scrawled on the bathroom wall in Hebrew – translated into English it says DANGER! That was the beginning of a truly paranormal Christmas for a family in Phoenix, AZ this year. Next, things began to move around in the kitchen and the family awoke to find all of the cupboards and drawers open. Then both bathrooms flooded. “For the past few days our house that my grandfather, aunt, two cousins and myself have been living in has been ‘acting up,’ ” Rudy Calderon wrote on his Facebook on Christmas Eve. “We have been hearing noises, objects appear out of nowhere, they move around and yesterday all of our kitchen cabinets were left open. All doors were locked so no one could have gotten in and we tried to

Caught On Camera?

20 December 2017 | Evidence?, Ghosts in the news, Haunted houses, Your True Encounters

Stephen Lee set up a camera to watch his dogs and might just have captured something altogether different. Take a look and let us know what you think? Of course, the video has been picked up by several mainstream media outlets as well in recent days. Apparently, the room overlooks a back garden and so there are no car lights or anything to cause these anomalies and, just to make things creepier, his home was once used as a hospital!

Is Someone There?

19 December 2017 | Haunted houses, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Sometimes it is not what you can see but what you cannot see that makes a huge impact. When I was young my family moved around a lot. Every few years we would pack up and move to another house, always in the hope that the next move would be the last and that we could set roots one day. Living in South Africa, we also had a lot of dogs for protection, these poor animals would also need to pick up roots every few years and follow us around, not that they seemed to mind all that much. On this particular occasion we had moved to a new home that was close to my school. Usually, in order for us to make the move a little easier we would

Spirit Activity Bothers Guests at The Green Lobster Hotel in Prague

18 December 2017 | Haunted houses, Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

In searching for other ghost stories during my research for a book on the paranormal in the Czech Republic, I came across a rather remarkable review of a Prague hotel in Trip advisor. The Residence Green Lobster is a luxury four-star hotel in Prague 1. It got the following 5-star review on TripAdvisor.com in 2011. My wife and I stayed at the wonderful Green lobster hotel and we had the first suite on the first floor. The suite was amazing and more than comfortable, we have to say by far the best hotel we have stayed at in our trips to Prague. However we did believe there was a little bit of spiritual activity in the suite to keep us both entertained. Both my wife and I struggle to believe

13 December 2017 | Your Stories

This December we are going to bring you some of the most interesting #true paranormal cases we can find. You can discover more true, terrifying accounts of the paranormal right here. This happened to me a few weeks ago. I work nights and tend to eat then go straight to bed. I live alone with my dog. She’s not much of a barker or a yapper. She’s generally very quiet and good natured. I was just dozing off when she started barking and growling at a wall. I jumped up but couldn’t see anything. She kept barking, growling and pawing at the wall. I wondered if it was a noise outside. I went to the door, stepped outside, and usually she runs outside. She stayed barking at the wall. This went
