Wolverhampton pub staff catch 'ghost' on CCTV.

Stunned Wolverhampton pub staff catch 'ghost' on CCTV.

 

Stunned staff at a Black Country pub believe they have snared a spirit... on CCTV.

They say there can be no other explanation for the strange glowing, misty orb that
dances in the darkened bar of Wolverhampton’s Talisman.

The ghostly shape could be linked to a 30-year-old tragedy at the watering hole.

And it is a tragedy close to 62 year-old landlord Peter Thacker.

He was drinking with a group of men in the same bar.

They tried to rouse a sleeping colleague, only to discover that he had died in his sleep.

Then there was a man killed outside the Wildtree Avenue pub 13 years ago.The strange
light, captured on security cameras last month, has certainly spooked staff.

They were already jittery after hearing tapping sounds in the empty bar.

When barmaids went to investigate, the room was completely empty.



Peter, who has run the pub for 18 years, said the CCTV footage has baffled regulars.

“The girls had locked up and the place was in darkness,” he said.

“They were unaware of the strange light until they looked at the CCTV. They were
shocked, I can tell you.

“It’s very, very strange – you can see it dancing on the table.

“When you think about it, it does make your hair stand on end.”

Peter lives at the Talisman, a pub which dates back to 1962.

“It doesn’t bother me,” he added. “But the bar staff have said strange things have
taken place.

“At night, when the place is empty, they’ve heard someone tapping in the bar. When
they go to investigate, there’s nobody there.”

A member of staff said: “At first we thought it was smoke on the film, but then we
saw it glowing, and it doesn’t move like smoke.

“It seems to have a mind of its own.

“It’s baffled us. If anyone has a logical explanation we’d love to hear it.

“I think it would put all our minds at rest.”

Workers are now considering handing the film to ghostbusters in order to see if they
can shed any light on the mystery.

The Talisman has some way to go to beat the paranormal reputation of the Giffard Arms,
however, rumoured to be the most haunted hostelry in Wolverhampton.

It is said be home to the spirit of a prostitute who took her own life in the early 1900s,
and is said to walk the upper floors.

There have also been sightings of a child-like spectre playing with wooden bricks in
the main bar.

If that were not enough, a long dead landlord roams the bar at night and glasses
mysteriously explode.

UFO Captured Hovering over Haunted Barn.


Reports of UFO levitating above Santee ghost barn.



Something floating up in the sky was captured by Ellen Henry’s camera, just before it stopped working.

Henry is a researcher for the Santee Historical Society. She was shooting photos of the Edgemoor Barn as part of her work. She says she did not see or hear any aircraft anywhere in area while taking her pictures.

When her camera ceased operating, she went home and loaded the pictures into her computer.It was then she noticed something above and to the left of the barn. Zooming in, she saw she had photographed something, well, unidentified, flying above the barn.

Built in 1913, the Edgemoor Barn is Santee’s oldest building. It has been used as a barn, fire truck garage, supply warehouse, and now a museum.

The Santee Historical Society website reports, “Santee’s Old Edgemoor Hospital, was a place of healing, home, and inevitably last rites. Many people died on this property, the exact number is not known. Even before the hospital and is buildings were demolished, accounts of the paranormal were reported.”

















Sightings of ghosts are frequently reported to the society. So many, in fact, that paranormal investigators have often visited the sight. The UFO photos as well as ghostly sightings, which include video and sound records, can be seen at the Santee Historical Society’s website
at http://www.santeehistoricalsociety.com/collection/photos-other-media-collection .

While the ghost barn is located within the flight paths of both public airport Gillespie Field and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, no one at either facility offered any explanation for the object in the sky.

When asked, a spokesperson at Miramar stated that the photos were definitely not of either a Stealth Fighter Bomber, or a drone. The lack of wings, rudders, or propellers was cited as proof.

For now Ellen Henry believes whatever it was she captured, it may have more to do with the haunted aspects of the old barn, then extra-terrestrial craft.

Ghostly Image Captured on CCTV in Telford Home.

Kerry left spooked by ghostly image at Telford home.

 

Kerry Owen, 28, of Aqueduct in Telford said she did not believe in the paranormal until
she took the puzzling picture at her parents’ house in Broseley.

She sent the photograph to the Shropshire Star after reading our story about a shadowy
silhouette caught on camera at Wellington Indoor Market.

Employees were shocked when CCTV footage showed what appeared to be a figure pushing over a stack of heavy boxes.

Kerry captured her surreal scene in her parents’ living room inWilkinson Avenue. “I took it on my new iPhone when I was just
messing around getting to grips with the camera,” she said.

“I just took a random picture of my sister Stacey and thought nothing of it. Then two or three days later I was looking through my pictures when I noticed what looked like a
man reaching for her shoulder.

“I was a little bit spooked to say the least.

“I showed my sister and she was freaked out by it.”

Kerry’s spooky snap was met with disbelief and wonder by friends and family who could
not work out what it was. “Some people were amazed by it and others accused me of
setting it up,” said Kerry. “But I wouldn’t know how to fake it if I wanted to.”

Intrigued, Kerry called in the experts to investigate further.

“I had it put through some computer software to see if it could be explained by a
light or a reflection but it was inconclusive,” she said.

“I didn’t believe in ghosts before but I do now.”

Last Orders Rang by a Ghost.


A ghostly call for time? Eerie CCTV footage shows rugby club bar bell ringing without anyone standing nearby.


Spooked pub staff believe their bar is haunted by the ghost of a former drinker who recently died - after its bell appeared to signal last orders by itself.

Bar workers believe the spirit of Nigel Harris, 64, is ringing time from beyond the grave at Exmouth Rugby Club in Devon.

They say the last order bell has been sounding unmanned and believe Mr Harris, a popular customer of 30 years who recently passed away, is haunting them.


One incident was captured on the clubhouse CCTV camera but when bosses rewound the tape they couldn't see any evidence of a prank.

Barmaid Tasmyn Burns, 19, was serving pints when the bell rang out on a Sunday afternoon.

She said: 'It made us all jump because it was ringing so loud. It was really being yanked with some force.

'I thought someone may have been playing a joke or something so I was shocked
when I saw no one else was there.


'I don't normally believe in ghosts but it's quite hard not to after what happened.

I have heard a few whispers of peoples saying it could be the spirit of Nigel.


'He was always in the bar and he did everything with the club, his picture is even
hanging up in the lounge'.

Mr Harris, the club's former secretary, died from a heart attack in 2010 after being
involved with the rugby team for three decades.
Frank Bright

Bosses had planned to bestow an honorary lifetime membership on him but he died
before they could do it.

Manager Frank Bright said: 'A few people have mentioned Nigel's name. He was great man, an all-round good guy - and certainly no threat to anyone.'




'The bell ringing on its own is pretty odd, I'll give you that,' he said. 'And one of the girls
was quite freaked out.

'But I'm a bit more level-headed and I'm sure there's some way to explain it; I just can't put
my finger on it at the moment.

'There was one time I was here on my own and I heard a whistle. I turned round and shouted
"hello, hello" but there was no-one here.

'You hear voices every now and then but it could just be someone outside. The walls
are made of wood but pretty thin.

'Maybe we could use it to our benefit - £25 a night to stay in the haunted bar, how
does that sound?'

The rugby club's events manager Sue Stone added: 'I've seen the video and it looks
pretty genuine but I'm no expert on these things.

'I know the bar staff have said they've heard things in the past and it's certainly
strange.'

Wellington Market Ghost.

Wellington market ghost caught on camera, kind of.

 



Some things have to be seen to be believed.

Which is perhaps unfortunate for anyone trying to prove that Wellington Indoor Market
is haunted.

A ‘probably explainable’ video has been posted on YouTube, sort of showing what
could possibly be construed as a ghost-like figure making its way up the stairs and
pulling some boxes over in the Victorian building in Telford, Shropshire.

The events were captured at 2.22am on May 4, according to Town and Country
Markets, which posted the video. Though the time and date – much like the
ghost – can’t be seen just before the boxes fall.





Market manager Kay Boaky is certainly a believer. Kay said after finding boxes
all over the floor that morning, they went straight to CCTV to see if there had
been an intruder.

‘We couldn’t believe what we saw. All the hairs stood up on the back of my
neck,’ Kay told the Shropshire Star.

‘There was nobody there when the boxes fell off. We watched it again and we could
see the shadow walking up the stairs then chucking the boxes over.’

The video, which asks ‘did you see it?’, has sparked some comments.

‘i dont see a damn thing’, replied viewer john simmons.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time ghostly goings on have been talked about at this
market. There have also been reports of a ghost, possibly with clean hands, a bit of a
cold and a short temper.

‘Once there were two people alone in the market,’ said Kay.

‘They were talking when they heard coughing coming from the other side of the
building. They thought there must be someone else there but when they looked
around it was totally empty.

‘We also have times where the hand-dryer starts on its own or doors slam.’

PJ Godsell, from investigators Mercia Paranormal, described the video as
‘quite interesting’.

‘My initial reactions from watching the video is that this is probably explainable.

‘But we would never say 100 per cent that it is not paranormal.’

Dublin Mansion is Haunted.


The Mansion House is haunted – Lord Mayor.


Naoise O Muiri says his daughter Briona (4) has witnessed a ghoul at the historic
Dublin building.

The Fine Gael councillor says he didn’t believe in ghosts until an incident in
February when his daughter saw a young girl watching TV in the living quarters
Mansion House -
Residence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin
of the building.

“In the middle of the night my six-year-old daughter Ailbhe walked from her
room through the sitting room and into mine.

“Briona followed her in the next day she turned to me and said she saw a girl with dark curly hair sitting watching TV at 3am.”

O Muiri said he knew the Dawson Street building which dates back to 1705
had a reputation for strange happenings.

He told the Irish Sun: “I was sceptical coming in but there is definitely stuff
happening”.

He believes his daughter’s youth and innocence is the reason why there is proof
that there is a ghost.
Naoise O Muiri - Dublin Lord Mayor.
“Briona has never heard or had never heard any talk of ghosts. She is very small and young, very sensitive.

“It happened 12 weeks ago and we haven’t
brought it up again.”
In 2009 the ten Mayor Eibhlin Byrne reported that her bulldog Sam had noticed something spooky at the Mansion House.

She said the dog refused to walk past a particular door.

Late Night Ghostly Caller



Beijingers haunted by late night ghostly phone calls.



Beijing residents claim they have been terrorized by a spate of late night scary phone
calls from a local number, in which they hear cries for help, a woman screaming, or
a baby crying.

If they call back, they are told the number does not exist, which has led to online claims
that people are being harassed by a "ghost call."

Web users who posted their experiences of answering the call on Sina Weibo say these
calls all originate from the same number, which is 010-67679910. Many other residents
said they had also received calls from that number late at night, but missed it, as it rang
only for a short time while they were asleep.

The subject of "ghost calls" has become the top trending topic on Sina Weibo since last
week. Many Web users posted pictures of missed call records from their phones, and
celebrated that they did not pick up the call. Some are afraid that they merely received
the call, even if they did not answer.

Web posts on receiving horror calls from the same number date from 2010.

Two customer service staff from China Unicom, a State-owned telecommunications
operator, told the Global Times that the number is in the range of the company's phone
numbers, but they cannot find the number in their database. They both suggested the
possibility that the number was set through some software.

An insider in the communications industry in Shanghai told the Global Times that
Internet telephony which includes software that can change the number shown on recipients'
phones is likely to be involved.

Those who made the calls have breached the Law on Public Security Administration
Punishments for repeatedly dispatching intimidating information to disturb others'
normal life, while supervision on Internet telephony is a legal vacuum.

Beijing police said that if residents receive the calls, they can report this to their nearest
police office. Officers will take down the information, and tackle the case if reports
intensify, the Beijing News reported.

WWI Ghost and his True Love


Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre solves ghostly tale of true love.



An untold love story behind one of Scotland’s most famous military ghosts has
been uncovered.



On Monday, a wreath will be laid near Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre, 100 years to the day after Lieutenant Desmond Arthur was killed in a flying accident near the base.


Tales of supernatural sightings in the years following his death are well known but the identity of a young woman pictured in a locket found in his breast pocket have proved a mystery — until now.

Curator of the centre Dr Dan Paton said: “Until recently little was known about Lt Arthur but his great-nephew recently provided us with information which gives us a more complete picture of the dashing young pilot. “One of the most interesting facts is that, following his death, a miniature of a beautiful young woman was found in Lt Arthur’s breast pocket.

“This photograph has now been donated to the heritage centre, along with Lt
Arthur’s diary.”

Dr Paton discovered the lady in the photograph was Miss Winsome Ropner from
West Hartlepool, who was aged just 14 at the time of the crash.

He said: “In these times such an attachment might cause concern but in 1913, when
attitudes and behaviour had not changed from the strict moral standards of the
Victorian age, it would have been seen in romantic terms and the prelude to 
marriage.

“Miss Ropner went on to marry a man who was also a pilot but she never forgot
Desmond Arthur. Thanks to information from Lt Arthur’s great-nephew Nick
Arthur and Paul Willcox, the grandson of Winsome Ropner, we now know much
more about him as a man.”

Display material will now portray the pilot as a pioneer of aviation and the miniature
portrait of Miss Ropner will also be put on show.

An investigation into the crash began two years after Lt Arthur’s death, around the same time as sightings of ghostly figure at the air station were first reported.

Dr Paton said: “These sightings, which coincided with an official inquiry into whether the aircraft’s plunge to the ground was the result of Lt Arthur’s recklessness, caused considerable
alarm.

“The Court of Inquiry eventually cleared Lt Arthur of blame and, once exonerated,
the ghost made one last appearance on Christmas Eve 1916 and then disappeared.”

A small party from the centre will lay a wreath on Lt Arthur’s grave at the town’s
Sleepyhillock Cemetery next week at the behest of his family.

JAPANESE PM REFUSES TO MOVE INTO HAUNTED MANSION.


Tokyo denies ghost fears keeping PM out of official residence.

 

The Japanese cabinet has formally denied months-long rumours that prime minister
Shinzo Abe has not moved into his official residence over fears the mansion is
haunted.

The conservative leader took office in December but has yet to move into the 11-room
 brick home in central Tokyo.

According to local media, it is the longest holdout among any of his predecessors.

Several former prime ministers have reported experiencing unusual phenomena
at the mansion, which was centre-stage for two failed but bloody coups in the 1930s.

Former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi once told reporters he had never encountered any ghosts, despite wanting to see them.

Some first ladies have refused to live in the mansion over fears its was inhabited by
spirits.

An opposition politician asked about the presence of ghosts in the prime minister's
residence in a letter to Mr Abe's cabinet.

"There are rumours that the official residence is haunted by ghosts. Is it true?" the
politician wrote.

"Does prime minister Abe refuse to move to the official residence because of the
rumours?"

He said the decision could delay the prime minister's response time in emergencies
because the residence is next door to his executive office.

Mr Abe's cabinet issued a terse written statement in response, saying: "We do not
assent to what was asked."

In May 1932, a revolt by naval officers ended in the murder of then-prime minister
Tsuyoshi Inukai and the plotters' surrender to military police.

Several years later in 1936, about 1,400 rebel troops killed several political leaders and seized the heart of Tokyo's government district including the official residence for four days.
