The Haunted Catacombs below Jihlava
16 April 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories
The catacombs beneath Jihlava in the Czech Republic are mysterious. They are located beneath the entire city and multiple levels and no one knows exactly why they exist! People have reported that in one part of these tunnels – the corridor of Svitivka – they have seen people with long necks and strange heads, and have heard noises or whispers. The corridor glows with a strange greenish light when unlit. This glow apparently comes from a coating on the sides of the tunnel that was put there by the Nazis – tho no one really knows why. In fact, with an interest in the occult, the Nazis seemed very interested in the tunnel and it is said that Hitler himself believed it the entrance to another dimension.

What Happened to the Ouija Board?
16 March 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
One of the students took out the board and said “Who wants to play?” Mostly, the group was keen but one of them shook their heads. He wasn’t interested. As the group began to use the board tough, they persuaded him to give it a try. He sat. “Prove this is real!” he said as the lights went out and the fire alarm started. They all jumped followed by giggles at the coincidence. They all left the room and its owner locked it after them. Out they went to the assembly point. 45 minutes later, the alarm was declared false and everyone was let back into the hall of residence. The room owner unlocked the door and they all walked in. The problem was that the Ouija board was gone.

Apparition on the Road
09 March 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
I was driving down a road late one night in the NE of England. It was pitch black and that kind of road that has high hedges on either side. The road was very bendy as well and the full-beam headlights constantly picked out trees and other items that seemed to jump out at me. I must admit, I was getting pretty nervous driving alone there. As I went around one bend, the headlights shone back of what seemed to be a patch of mist. I thought at first, this was the beginnings of a patchy mist developing and slowed down even more to compensate. As I drove on though, I met no more misty patches until about 1 mile further up the road where passing through a small wooded

Boletice Cemetery, Czechia
04 March 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
Boletice cemetery is the site of an interesting tale regarding two cantankerous old souls who argued even after death. Dead and buried in the cemetery, the pair were heard to continue cursing and arguing so loudly that nearby homes had trouble sleeping. Eventually, the Priest sought advice on how to handle the phenomenon from Rome and was told to place the crosses on both graves back to back to each other. After this was done, peace finally reigned in the cemetery. G Michael Vasey

A Final Goodbye?
02 March 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
This incident took place in Austin, Texas on August 19, 1995, between 11:30 pm and Midnight. A friend of mine named Kevin had been going through some bad times of late. He had been suffering from partial paralysis from an injury he had sustained years ago in a diving accident. His business was failing, his bank account was dwindling and since he had lost his lease with the apartment he lived in, he had to live with a friend until he could get back on his feet. As sometimes happens in all of us, Kevin lost hope and felt that there was no way out and so, committed suicide on August 17th. I was told about this the next day by a mutual friend of ours. A bunch of us got

My Psychic Friend
15 February 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
When I and my Best friend Beth were teenagers, we had a very tight group of friends. We spent every free moment with them getting into harmless mischief and gaming and going to renaissance festivals. They became our surrogate family. No one was a misfit or ever left out. Well while hanging with this group I met Lenny. He was blonde-haired and blue-eyed and his hair was long and he would braid it and he wore glasses and to my teenage eyes, he was sheer perfection. Beth had grown up with him and he was her brother from another mother so thankfully she didn’t look at him the way I did. I was smitten. Well, it didn’t take too long for him to start talking to me and I was

The Point Lookout Lighthouse and the HatMan
11 February 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
It was 2006, October. In that spooky and also festive month, the 13th also happened to land on a Friday. Taking advantage of this renowned date, I had convinced a buddy of mine, Tim, along with my girlfriend, Ashley, and her little sister, Alisha, to venture down to the State Park and meander around the lighthouse, the civil war Union fort, and POW camp. Besides 12yr old Alisha, the rest of us had graduated high school together in 2004. On the way to the lighthouse, I told stories of phantom civil war soldiers seen crossing the road and a Lady in Black that would approach visitors asking for help in locating a burial stone before vanishing, firmly setting the mood for a creepy visit. We entered the parking area a

Would You Buy A House Here?
01 February 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
Apparently, Barnes Hospital in Cheadle, near Manchester, has been transformed into flats ….. Just one problem. The place is reputed to be haunted! An abandoned hospital that while it was being built uncovered pieces of christian crosses from a possible graveyard. Built in the 1870’s it was meant for the growing numbers of factory workers in and around Manchester. During WW2, it took care of wounded and dying soldiers. The hospital was closed in 1999. It has since topped the list of ‘15 creepiest abandoned places in Britain’ and was the set for Let Sleeping Corpses Lie a 1970s horror movie. Paranormal activity has often been reported at the site. Nurses who felt they were being watched and the ghosts of nurses still tending to patients. Those who have investigated the hospital

18th floor of the Milwaukee Hilton
20 January 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
We were in downtown MILWAUKEE, getting ready for Milwaukee Mighty Con. Pulling into our parking lot we see the scary looking Hilton hotel. Out of a scene of Ghostbusters. I look up, and make the comment to my friend Luigi, that place is haunted. We check in, and find out our room is on the 19th floor. 19 out of 25 floors. 25th floor not acceptable for guests. I ask a few employees if any hauntings occur, they have no reply. We go eat dinner, and return. On getting a second bed (a roll away for luigi). Turns out we run into the head of security, and when I ask him if the giant building is haunted…he replies with “what do you want to know”. Thus, our long paranormal adventure

The Elgin Mental Hospital Cemetery
13 January 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
I heard about abandoned Elgin Mental hospital cemetery online and I read stories about hearing old hound dogs and chains from the former grounds keeper. I also heard that there are three bodies to every grave and have seen websites been were forced to remove this information. I’ve even seen websites saying that no cemetery exists. Well, if you have seen my independent film “Whom I Fear”, that is the cemetery. One day my then fiancée, (now wife), and I went driving around to find this cemetery. (A year before I filmed the movie there). We actually had to drive around the Elgin mental hospital and ask about 25 people where it was located. It took forever. Hours went by and 24 of those 25 people said there isn’t one.

Houska Castle and the Gates To Hell?
05 January 2021 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
Sometimes the activities I am involved with come together in strange ways. I manage this site and have a strong interest in the paranormal. I also have a podcast called the Magical world of G. Michael Vasey (same name as my blog) where I interview magickal people and/or discuss paranormal subjects. I also love to dowse and track earth energies. So all three activities came together last year when I visited Houska Castle again with my son and daughter. Houska is known worldwide as guarding the Gates of Hell and is associated with all manner of strange paranormal phenomena. A reputation it has built up over the years around a story that appears to have been repeated and embellished with each telling and retelling. It now provides the owners of the

The Museum Intruder
08 December 2020 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
This particular incident happened when I was really young, maybe 4 or 5, however I had a dream last night (June 4th), which was more of a flash back than anything else. My Nan looked after me and my older sister a lot during school holidays as my parents worked full time, and one of our favorite trips out was to the museum in Liverpool city centre. My favorite display was the dinosaurs and I was obsessed with the walking with dinosaurs series. One day, on a trip to the museum, I noticed that the T.Rex wasn’t alone in his display. Standing behind a plastic prehistoric palm tree was a figure. He was about the same height and shape of a fully grown man, but he had green almost scale-like

It Followed us on Our School Trip!
21 September 2020 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
I was on a residential trip in year 3 and we only slept there for one night. All the girls were in one big room and all the boys were in one big room. We were at Tatton Hall and it was time to go to sleep, so all the girls settled down and went to bed. There were bunk beds and I was on the top bunk as well as my friend, Taylor, who slept right next to a small window which was a frosted window. In the morning we all woke up and looked out the window. There, looking straight into the room, was a man who wore a top hat and a suit. Because it was a frosted window it looked like the man had no face,

Leigh Woods
10 September 2020 | Haunted locations, Your Stories, Your True Encounters
In May 2017 I found myself going out a lot more on my Mountain Bike, I was getting bored of cruising around the streets so I wanted to go for a trail/woodland bike ride. I’ve never been to leigh Woods before then, Personally I don’t think I’ll be going alone again. After some research into a few different areas, Leigh Woods seemed to be my best bet, Living only a couple miles away it was a nice bike ride. On arriving, It looked very peaceful and I was almost in a dream like state by my first look of the place. For a woodland area in England let alone Bristol, It was amazing. On going into the woods I remembered seeing different colours at the start of each trail signifying
