Ghost is included in the price of the house.



Ghostly figure found on real estate listing photo.


A Florida man was browsing real estate listings this week when he noticed something strange in one of the listing photos. He posted the odd image of the foreclosed home on Reddit yesterday.



According to an online Pensacola MLS listing, the 4-bedroom brick home is located on 
6040 Badger Road, in Milton, Florida and is on the market for $149,000. There are thirteen 
photos of the property and in the last image a strange shadowy figure seems to have been 
captured.

Reddit user LaBertie posted the image of the real estate listing featuring a sealed foreclosed 
home. In the final photo of the listing, a figure is seen peering through the window of the 
front door of the home.

"We researched the house and found out that an 81-year-old lady bought the house years ago and died inside. She had no close family which is why it went into foreclosure," LaBertie claimed in a post.

A few Reddit users believe the photo is a prank but the poster assures that it isn't. Some people think that there is a simple explanation that is creating the illusion of a figure.

"I've emailed the realtor and the nice lady told me she was alone while taking pictures of the house." According to LaBertie, the real estate agent assured him that the house has been sealed for years and she was the only one there when taking the photos.

Famous Haunted Chateau', Yours for only £1.12 Million.


For sale, Elton's 'Honky Chateau': Haunted mansion 

where musician recorded album and Bowie was too 
scared to stay in one of the rooms goes on sale for 
£1.12million.


  • Nickname comes from the Honky Chateau album Elton John made there
  • Others who recorded here include Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac
  • The 18th century chateau overlooks meadows painted by Van Gogh
  • Famous visitors dried up in the late 1980s and it fell into disrepair

Chateau d’Hérouville

A dilapidated French chateau used as a recording studio by the legends of British pop is
up for sale – but don’t expect any bids from David Bowie... he swears it’s haunted.

The ghost in question is thought to be that of composer Frederic Chopin.

Maybe he objected to the rafters of Chateau d’Hérouville vibrating to the music of punk
rockers Sham 69?



Elton John
He may have approved, though, of pianist Elton John rattling out Goodbye Yellow Brick Road there for his 1972 album Honky Chateau, named after the surroundings.

However, Bowie felt ‘supernatural energy’ when he recorded Pin Ups in 1973 and later returned for the highly-acclaimed Low album.

The floodgates then opened to the likes of Uriah Heep, Canned Heat, Rick Wakeman, Iggy Pop, the Bee Gees, Marvin Gaye, Fleetwood Mac and T Rex during the 1970s and early
1980s.

Now, after years of neglect, the chateau in the Val d’Oise region – 20 miles north of Paris – is up for sale for £1.12million. Built in 1740, it was painted by Vincent van Gogh and became famous thanks to French film composer Michel Magne, who bought it in 1962.

He transformed the building into a grand home with 30 rooms, a swimming pool and tennis
court in 17,000 hectares of parkland.

But, more importantly, he built a personal recording studio with such amazing acoustic
qualities that it quickly became the talk of musicians around the world.

It opened as a residential recording studio, nicknamed Strawberry Studios, with state-of-
the-art recording equipment.

One of the chateau’s musical highlights was an impromptu Grateful Dead concert in June
1971.

The late Jerry Garcia, the band’s lead guitarist said: ‘We played and the people came – the
chief of police, the fire department, just everybody. It was an event and everybody just had
a hell of a time – got drunk, fell in the pool. It was great.’

During a three-month stay at the chateau, Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks requested that
her bedroom be painted pink.

David Bowie, one of the many who recorded at the chateau'
Bowie stayed there with musician and producer Tony Visconti and Brian Eno. Visconti said:
‘There was certainly some strange energy in that chateau.

‘On the first day, David took one look at the master bedroom and said: “I’m not sleeping in there!”’
 

Eno claimed to have been awoken early every morning with someone shaking his shoulder,
but when he opened his eyes, no one was there.

Magne sold the property in 1979 and the new owners allowed the recording studio to remain
while pursuing plans to convert the chateau into luxury flats.

But the local authority denied permission and, apart from a brief period of rental, it has been
mostly empty for 28 years.

Estate agent Gilles Ditcharry said the property needs £250,000 worth of renovations. He
added: ‘It’s not a classically beautiful chateau, but it has a fantastic history.’

Built in 1740 in the Val d’Oise region 30km north of Paris, it was once painted by Vincent
van Gogh.

But it became famous thanks to French film composer Michel Magne, who won an Oscar
for his music for the Gene Kelly film Gigot, who bought it in 1962.

One theory for Near-Death Experience.


Near-death experiences are 'electrical surge in dying brain'



A surge of electrical activity in the brain could be responsible for the vivid experiences
described by near-death survivors, scientists report.

A study carried out on dying rats found high levels of brainwaves at the point of the animals'
demise.

US researchers said that in humans this could give rise to a heightened state of consciousness.

The research is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The lead author of the study, Dr Jimo Borjigin, of the University of Michigan, said: "A lot of
people thought that the brain after clinical death was inactive or hypoactive, with less activity
than the waking state, and we show that is definitely not the case.



 Many people who have had a Near-Death Experience say they see a bright 
white light, which they were compelled to walk into.


"If anything, it is much more active during the dying process than even the waking
state."

Consciousness

From bright white lights to out-of-body sensations and feelings of life flashing before their
eyes, the experiences reported by people who have come close to death but survived are
common the world over.

However, studying this in humans is a challenge, and these visions are little understood.

To find out more, scientists at the University of Michigan monitored nine rats as they were
dying.

In the 30-second period after the animal's hearts stopped beating, they measured a sharp
increase in high-frequency brainwaves called gamma oscillations.

These pulses are one of the neuronal features that are thought to underpin consciousness in
humans, especially when they help to "link" information from different parts of the brain.

In the rats, these electrical pulses were found at even higher levels just after the cardiac arrest
than when animals were awake and well. Dr Borjigin said it was feasible that the same thing
would happen in the human brain, and that an elevated level of brain activity and consciousness
could give rise to near-death visions



"This can give us a framework to begin to explain these. The fact they see light perhaps
indicates the visual cortex in the brain is highly activated - and we have evidence to suggest
this might be the case, because we have seen increased gamma in area of the brain that is
right on top of the visual cortex," she said.

"We have seen increased coupling between the lower-frequency waves and the gamma
that has been shown to be a feature of visual awareness and visual sensation."

However, she said that to confirm the findings a study would have to be carried out on
humans who have experienced clinical death and have been revived.

Commenting on the research, Dr Jason Braithwaite, of the University of Birmingham, said the phenomenon appeared to be the brain's "last hurrah".

"This is a very neat demonstration of an idea that's been around for a long time: that under certain unfamiliar and confusing circumstances - like near-death - the brain becomes
overstimulated and hyperexcited," he said. Striking

"Like 'fire raging through the brain', activity can surge through brain areas involved
in conscious experience, furnishing all resultant perceptions with realer-than-real
feelings and emotions."

But he added: "One limitation is that we do not know when, in time, the near-death
experience really occurs. Perhaps it was before patients had anaesthesia, or at some
safe point during an operation long before cardiac arrest.

"However, for those instances where experiences may occur around the time of cardiac
arrest - or beyond it - these new findings provide further meat to the bones of the idea
that the brain drives these fascinating and striking experiences"

Dr Chris Chambers, of Cardiff University, said: "This is an interesting and well-conducted
piece of research. We know precious little about brain activity during death, let alone
conscious brain activity. These findings open the door to further studies in humans.

"[But] we should be extremely cautious before drawing any conclusions about human
near-death experiences: it is one thing to measure brain activity in rats during cardiac
arrest, and quite another to relate that to human experience."

Eastern Station Hotel. Australia's most haunted hotel.


Australia's most haunted hotel.



THE Eastern Station Hotel's ghostly aura is set to make it Australia's Most Haunted
Pub.

The hotel is currently being restored to its original 1862 style, with added steampunk,
or industrial-style, features to become Ballarat's latest tourist attraction.

New leasee Adam Wynne-Jenkins said the pub had several ghosts, including a two-year-old
boy who drowned in a gold rush mining puddle and original owner Thomas Redshaw Hunt,
who is usually preceded by a strong tobacco smell.

Eastern Station Hotel.
There are also English mother and daughter ghosts Maggie, 35, and Sarah, 12, who arrived
in Ballarat by train straight off the boat, walked to the Eastern Station, went to their room and promptly died from yellow fever, along with an Irish man who was stabbed in the back in the hotel's kitchen in 1915 by a love rival.

The final two are indigenous caretakers.

"Mr Hunt has been particularly active lately but ghosts do become more active when you
start doing renovations," Mr Wynne-Jenkins said.

"If you stay upstairs, there's lots of paranormal activity. We think this is Australia's most
haunted hotel."

Manager Christine Crawshaw said she often went to serve a patron, only to discover it was
Mr Hunt's ghost, and said she often found the kitchen's vibes particularly chilling due to
the brutal murder of the former World War One soldier.

"Ghosts do become more active when you start doing renovations"

"Parts of Ballarat's early history are also being incorporated into the renovations, along
with original Beechworth Jail doors, including the one belonging to Ned Kelly's cell and
the other from the death row cell."

It is hoped the renovations will be completed within 18 months.

The hotel is currently open Wednesday to Sunday, 5pm to 11pm, but will be open seven
days shortly.

Meals will also soon be available, along with the haunted accommodation.


Spirits at the pub

1. A two-year-old boy who haunts the Eastern Station Hotel is believed to be James Nunn,
whose body was kept in the hotel's cellar after his death until his autopsy by coroner
Dr Sutherland and his subsequent burial. The boy died on December 6, 1863, on the
Black Hill Flat after accidentally falling into a waterhole.

James, the son of brickmaker Richard Nunn, had earlier been seen driving a flock of geese
to the waterhole. His ghost is often seen running around the hotel wearing brown
three-quarter length pants with socks, a brown vest and a brown pullover hat.

2. Thomas Redshaw Hunt was the original owner of the Eastern Station Hotel. He is
regularly seen standing near the bar and in the cellar wearing a large, black top hat
and is always accompanied by a strong smell of pipe tobacco.

A pint of beer has been left out on the bar's open fire mantelpiece for Mr Hunt, which
is gradually going down.

3. Mother and daughter Maggie, 35, and Sarah, 12, arrived in Melbourne from England
on a boat in the 1870s. They took a train to Ballarat, walked to the hotel, booked a room
and promptly died from yellow fever they caught on their voyage.

They are mainly seen in the upstairs hallway and staircase, with Maggie wearing a red
dress and Sarah a fawn one. Both have long beautiful hair.

4. An Irish ex-World War One soldier was killed in the hotel's kitchen in 1915. The kitchen
hand was stabbed in the back by a fellow staff member and love rival. He is seen in the
kitchen, the original ballroom and often walking through a wall where a door used to be.
He wears moleskin pants and a pale grandpa shirt.

5. Two indigenous caretakers are also seen around the lower levels of the hotel. One is
much older than the other and both have beards.

Ghostly Maid photographed in a window at Shurland Hall


Author Christdeena Ellis claims to have captured ghostly maid in window of Shurland Hall in Eastchurch.



Christdeena Ellis has spent three years writing what she says is the only book about
Shurland Hall, a 16th century property in Eastchurch.




Shurland Hall, Eastchurch, Kent
The 44-year-old was left scratching her head by a photo she took apparently capturing the
figure of a woman in a top window, second from right.

She emailed the shot to Phil Measey, lead investigator of the Ghostfinder Paranormal
Society, who called it "very odd indeed".

He said: "It does look like a person, a woman dressed in some sort of maid's outfit."

Mrs Ellis claims the place is "most definitely haunted" and believes some of her other
photos show mysterious orbs.

The mother-of-one said: "There have been major battles there and it has been built over a
13th century castle so I think there is paranormal activity there definitely and I'm quite
intrigued by the ghostly maid.


Is this a picture of a Ghoslty Maid?
"She looks like a 17th century or 18th century maid and she could have been a worker
there."

Mrs Ellis's self-published work focuses on the restoration of the property and asks if
there is a "ghostly maid" haunting the grounds.

Originally from Rushenden, Mrs Ellis has been fascinated by the building for a long
time.

She said: "When I was a little girl we used to go up there with the Brownies. It was just a
ruin. Not much left of it.

"It's a fantastic building and there is a hell of a lot of history in there. It's one of the reasons
that keeps bringing me back on the Island."

Picture taken which claims to have captured the ghost in the window.

Shurland Hall was built between 1510 and 1518 by Sir Thomas Cheyne on the site of a
13th century castle established by Adam De Shurland.

Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn spent a few days at the hall in 1532.

It is now owned by a private couple who, Mrs Ellis says, gave her permission to
take the photos.

Hollywood Actress is Haunted Hotel Ghost.


Actress Lily Collins haunted by Dublin hotel ghost.



HOLLYWOOD actress Lily Collins said she was haunted by the ghost of a seven-year-old girl while staying in Dublin.


The actress was in Dublin earlier this year filming new movie ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ – which also stars Love/Hate’s Robert Sheehan.

She was staying in the Shelbourne Hotel while on location.


And she won’t forget her time there any time soon, she said said when she appeared on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’.

She told host Jimmy Fallon that she felt a “presence” in her hotel room – or more specifically, a person.

“I open my eyes and I hear a giggle,” she said.

“And then I felt a rush of air across my body and I heard all these doors slamming, like fire doors - the ones you don’t hear opening, but then the air - it closes.

“Three of them - and there were three doors outside my room,” the 24-year-old actress said.

Lily, who is the daughter of singer Phil Collins, spoke to staff the following morning about the incident.

She said that she was then told stories about a ghost named Mary Masters.

Mary is believed to be seven years of age and is said to haunt the hotel’s sixth floor, which is where Lily was staying.

Mary Masters is believed to have died from a cholera outbreak in 1846 and was believed to have lived in the buildings which now house the Shelbourne Hotel. Legend has it that she refuses to leave.

Over the years, Mary has reportedly been sighted in the basement of the hotel by staff stocking the wine cellar or doing the laundry.

Mary’s name has never appeared on any kind of register in relation to the Shelbourne – it’s believed a medium obtained her identity some years ago.

It appears Mary has never hampered business for the Shelbourne.

The St Stephen’s Green Hotel has been a firm favourite of visiting celebrities over the years.

US First Lady Michelle Obama and her two daughters Malia (14) and Sasha (12) stayed there during their recent visit to Dublin.

West Wing star Martin Sheen has also stayed there, as has Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall.

The Irish rugby team also stay there ahead of home games.

Here’s hoping Mary the ghost doesn’t disturb their sleep.

Is This a Ghost Captured on Film or Just Someone Out Walking?


Strange shadowy figure captured on time-lapse camera in Oregon (Video)



A photographer got more than he hoped for after reviewing a time-lapse video camera that
he set up in a cemetery to a capture the sunset last week. A mysterious shadowy figure is
seen in one of the images. Portland's ABC news affiliate KATU posted the time-lapse video
online yesterday. A lot of people are wondering what the unidentified presence could be and
there are quite a few theories as to what the figure actually is.



On July 23 photographer Nathan Ziegler set up the time-lapse camera in the Old Pioneer
Cemetery in Milton-Freewater, Oregon to film the sunset. The camera was set to take a
still photo at 30 second intervals. After reviewing the footage, Ziegler noticed a strange
figure in one of the frames.

The figure appeared in one frame at 9:08:30 but isn't in either frame 30 seconds before or
after that frame.

“I don’t know what to make of it,” Ziegler said about the strange figure in the video.

Some people are speculating that the cemetery is haunted and that the image is proof
of a ghost. Other folks have different opinions on what it might be. Some think it could've
been a fallen tree limb, a bug on the lens, or just a human visitor.

Ziegler and his brother-in-law returned to the cemetery on July 24 and looked on the
ground near the tree but found no fallen limbs. He has no explanation or guess as to what
the figure is but he believes it's highly unlikely that it was a bug due to the camera's small
lens.

35-year-old Ziegler is a school principal living in Minneapolis, Minnesota but grew up in
Milton-Freewater. He visits the Walla Walla Valley every summer with his wife Tennille.

Paranormal Investigators called to NE Houston home.



Family calls in ghost experts to their NE Houston home.


HOUSTON -- There is a house off N. Wayside in northeast Houston that has a
reputation -- for ghosts!

Angela Rhodes inherited the house from her parents, but she won't live in it. She
refuses to be alone in the house, even in the daytime.

"It's an odd feeling. If I come in here I can be doing something and it's like
something just following me," Rhodes said.

Neighbor Cynthia Coleman agreed.

"It's real spooky, creepy, uh, something is going on in there," Coleman said.

Rhodes called in John O'Dell and Yvonne Tallman who are paranormal investigators
from Pasadena to check the place out.

O'Dell, a professional artist, is with The Other Side Paranormal Investigations.

Tallman, a former carpenter, is with Pasadena Ghost Research Society.

They do not charge for their services.

"When my sister moved out she said she always heard kids running in this
hallway," Rhodes said.

However, no kids lived in or around the house at the time.

She also reported other strange things like seeing flames in the bathroom that did
not burn anything. She also said something or someone unseen constantly tries to
draw her attention to a window in the den.

"Do you ever see a shadow," Tallman said.

"To be honest with you, I don't try to look for it," Rhodes said.

Rhodes allowed family friends to move into the empty house a few weeks ago.

Soon they had strange reports too. They said a tea cup was the last straw.

"A cup just flew from the microwave to the sink," said Chris Smith, who lives
in the house with his girlfriend and their children.

"Clearly, if a cup is falling off the middle of a microwave, there's something
saying ‘leave,' " said Tiara Lawson, Smith's girlfriend.

She also said that same night a screen "flew" off a window and hit her on the arm.

The family fled the house that night and called Rhodes.

The ghost hunters asked the family to leave the house on the night of their
investigation and they spent three hours investigating using special recording
devices.

Later, they shared their findings with the family.

On one audio recording Tallman asks, "Is Angela's mother here?"

A female voice whispers “yes."

Rhodes said she recognized the voice.

"I really did when she first played it. Sounded like my mother. Her name is
Margaret. We call her Cookie," Rhodes said.

Her mother died in the house 14 years ago.

The investigators said the spirit of Rhodes mother is not alone in the house. On
another recording they said, "You're scaring the family that lives here."

A male voice is heard saying “really."

The ghost hunters also said they captured sounds of someone stomping around, pulling
down the attic stairway and saying, "bing bong," perhaps mimicking the sound of the
front door alarm.

They said their recorders picked up the sounds while they were next door taking
photographs of a vacant lot which they believe is haunted also.

The ghost hunters showed the family photographs of orbs and a strange mist
captured on the vacant lot.

"Spirit wise, if (ghosts) don't have enough energy to actually show up as a full
body apparition, a lot of times this is what they can do," Tallman said.

"If you see red orbs that's usually denoting of a more negative energy. Blue is more
peaceful and white is more protective," O'Dell said.

They also said they captured an image of an entity in the hallway of the house that
resembled something from the movie ‘Ghost Busters.’

"Okay that's green," Lawson said.

"Whatever it is -- need to be gone," Rhodes said.

She has had the house blessed twice.

The family friends who live there returned and said they feel better

"I feel more comfortable," Smith added, "but spirits are real for the people that
think spirits are not real."

Rhodes said she feels better too, but she fears it is only temporary.

"I still feel it's -- that bad spirit is still there somewhere waiting to do whatever it is
here to do," Rhodes said.
