Living Ghosts - My Haunted Life Too

I Saw Some Strange Stuff in a Tunnel in Vietnam

29 March 2019 | Living Ghosts, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I’ve kept my mouth shut for almost 50 years, why the hell would I start talkin’ now. Well friends, terminal cancer will do that to you. Shit you thought you’d take to the grave suddenly becomes shit you desperately wanna tell someone … anyone. I won’t bore you with a long lament about my time in Vietnam, it was shitty, it was shitty for everyone involved, it was particularly shitty for me as I was 5’3. If you don’t know what being particularly short during the Vietnam war entailed let me fill you in, you arrive in country and a senior officer points at you and says “You’d be a good fit for the tunnel commandos, wanna join?”. Now technically it’s a question, as service in those platoons was voluntary,

Dream Walks

10 February 2019 | Living Ghosts, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

I once wrote a book about seeing the ghosts of people who are still alive. It is called Ghosts of the Living and although it gained excellent reviews, it didn’t sell that well. A shame really as it contains lots of stories just like this one…… Creepy and very strange! This incident happened with me when I was in the third year of my graduation, in the year 2007. My college was located quite far from my home and it takes about seven hours to get there by bus and vice versa. I was a resident student at the college staying at the campus hostel, along with my other batch mates. During the gap between semesters, which was about a month long, all of us used to return to our

I’m Home! The Ghost of my Living Mother.

Having only recently issued a new Kindle short called Ghosts of the Living, I am always on the look out for a certain kind of experience story these days that fits into this category. I just found this one on Reddit. What do you think? This happened YEARS ago. ~10ish years. I was probably 11 or 12, and my sister was a year younger. We were in elementary school, and would take the bus home and let ourselves in. My mom would show up 10 minutes later when she get out of work. And we would know she had gotten home because every day she would open the door and say “I’m hooome!”. She did this every single day. One week though, there were 3 days that she needed to

My Doppelganger?

09 May 2017 | Living Ghosts, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Just last week, I was on Reddit asking people for Poltergeist experiences and came across this strange story. To me this is a classic, doppelganger or bilocation just like those I discuss in my last book Ghosts of the Living….. This happened a few hours ago, still scared to go downstairs. I’ll preface this by saying I have been hearing faint voices and seeing things out of the corner of my eye, although I kind of assumed this was from lack of sleep (I’m a student with a load of homework, I can’t afford the luxury of sleep…). Nothing else has happened in our house. My brother (10, we’ll call him Mark) and I were home alone for a few hours late at night. Basically, our house has two down

A Voice in the Night

27 January 2017 | Living Ghosts, Your Stories, Your True Encounters

Recently, I wrote about my interest in ‘living ghosts’ in our newsletter. One of our subscribers kindly responded with this strange but touching story of a voice in the night…. My mother, grandmother and little brother had come to visit me in Paris. It was one of those hit-and-run weekenders, where they arrived late one Saturday morning and left early on Sunday afternoon. There was no time for them to come out to the village where I lived and worked, a short train journey outside Paris, so we celebrated my twenty-first birthday in Montmartre. It was a tearful leave-taking; it had been wonderful to see my family for the first time in a year. My mother and I had always been very close; so close, in fact, that more often
