Ghost at a football match?

Is this a GHOST caught on camera during football match?

The spooky silhouette of a man was filmed jogging around the perimeter of the pitch during a match between Racing and River Plate in Argentina.

Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, this YouTube video of a "ghost" running around a football stadium is certainly spooky.

The figure of what appears to be a young man can clearly be seen jogging around the perimeter of a football pitch field in Argentina.

The video was taken during a recent clash between Racing Club and River Plate and has received 250,000 hits in just two days.

The figure goes back and forth at some speed as though he is using the edge as a running track but the crowd, stewards and players apparently failed to see what has been recorded on camera.

Sceptics say it is a clever bit of photography but others suggest the same figure was seen during the live match.

"In Argentina," say others, "anything can happen!"

The truth behind the ghost of the Green Man Tunnel.

Investigator Uncovers Photos of Legendary "Faceless Ghost" That Haunts Abandoned Tunnel.

America is full of some pretty incredible urban legends. From Gravity Hills where invisible hands push your vehicle up a slope, to Frog Men stalking the Loveland Castle, to the White Lady haunting Union Cemetery, you can throw a stone and there's a good chance it'll land in the territory of some kind of monster or mystery. Many times, though, the truth is far more interesting than the legend, and such is the case with "The Green Man". 

For many years, the tale of the Green Man has been one used by parents to keep their children scared enough to stay inside at night, and by locals to keep teenagers too spooked to enter the abandoned train tunnel just outside of town. The legend says that the Green Man, once an employee of a local power company, was horribly disfigured in a terrible accident that melted his face and turned his skin a deep green hue. For years, locals would report sightings of the glowing ghost of the Green Man walking down the rural roads at night, only to disappear into the dark recesses of the tunnel.

On the outskirts of Pittsburgh, near where Piney Fork empties into Peters Creek, there’s an old neglected railroad tunnel covered in graffiti and filled with road salt. It was built in 1924 as the Piney Fork Tunnel to service coal mines along the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Peters Creek Branch. Abandoned since 1962, the locals have given it another nickname. To many people in the Pittsburgh area, this is Green Man Tunnel. Teenagers used to drive into the tunnel, turn off their lights, and call out to the “Green Man” who would appear from the darkness, his skin tinged green from a tragic electrical accident. If he touched your car, his electrical charge would either stall the vehicle or make it difficult to start.

While the fear-fueled story of the Green Man is certainly the best kind of urban legend, filled with gruesome deaths, supernatural powers, and a terrifying curse tailor-made to frighten teenagers, occult historian and paranormal investigator Ken Summers recently uncovered the true story of the Green Man, complete with some rare photographs of the "faceless ghost", and it's a lot more sad than scary.
In truth, the Green Man's real name was Raymond Robinson, though to those who traveled Pennsylvania's Route 315 in the middle of the night, he was known as Charlie No Face. You see, in 1918, when Raymond was just a boy, he was climbing on a train track bridge when he accidentally snagged against a power line. The subsequent shock sent 22,000 volts of electricity screaming through his body, quite literally melting his face off. When the smoke had settled, he had lost both of his eyes, his nose, an ear, and even an arm.

As he grew up, Raymond quickly became aware of people's cruel nature, earning nicknames like "The Zombie" and being subject to the screaming of terrified children. Over the years, Raymond was able to find solace in long walks down State Route 351, though he only took his hikes at night so as to minimize the amount of people he might frighten. Being blind, after all, meant that the night meant nothing to him.

As you might imagine, Raymond's late-night walks began to cause quite a stir, as teenagers headed to parties began to see a "faceless ghost" wandering the darkened highway. Before long, the legend of "Charlie No Face" began to circulate to nearby towns, and by the 60's, the legend was causing full-on traffic jams along the stretch of road as cars full of people went searching for the "ghost".

Those who were fortunate enough to stumble across Raymond would realize that he was, in fact, flesh and blood, and often left feeling a bit sorry for him after stopping for a chat. Raymond took the ghost hunts in stride though, even capitalizing on his popularity by offering to pose for photographs... for a price.

Ken Summers reports:

After being discovered by accident on his nightly walks, the tale of the Green Man—or Charlie No Face, as he was also called—developed. There are conflicting stories about where the “green skin” idea came from. Some accounts say he always wore his favorite green plaid shirt or other green clothes that reflected the color onto his pale skin while others say his skin was a pale shade of green. Either way, it became a popular pastime to head out to Route 351 and look for Ray. Those who weren’t too terrified to stop would chat with Ray over a smoke. He even posed for pictures, often in exchange for beer or cigarettes.

Ray continued his evening walks until his death in 1985, but by then, his story had become legend. Soon after his death, the details of his disfigurement were told less and less as a boy who suffered an accident, and more often as a vengeful spirit out for teenage blood. By the late 90's, the name Raymond Robinson was all but forgotten, the legend of the Green Man finally winning out.

Today, the legend of the ghost with no face has spread as far as Ohio, but the Green Man Tunnel remains the most-visited piece of the Pennsylvania legend. To this day car loads of kids still pull up to the old train bridge and call out for Charlie No Face, some even claiming to have seen him in the darkness. If you're lucky, maybe you'll even see him yourself.

14 Students Possessed by Evil Spirits?

14 students “possessed”

CEBU, Philippines - At least 14 students of Toong Integrated School in the mountain barangay of Toong, Cebu City were allegedly possessed by evil spirits yesterday noon.

Most of the affected students were brought to Msgr. Frederick Kriekenbeek, who is known to perform exorcism, at the Mary’s Little Children Community in Tabunok, Talisay City.

Barangay Toong councilman Milven Bacalso said 12 students, mostly high school, were brought to Kriekenbeek upon the advice of the parish priest of the nearby Buhisan Shrine.

“Nagsugod ni mga ala una sa hapon. Naay usa nagsugod ug kasudlan dayon nagtakod-takod na. Una namong gitawag ang pari sa Buhisan Shrine pero ingon siya di niya kaya ang sitwasyon. Siya maoy nag suggest nga adto namo dad-on kang Msgr. Kriekenbeek,” Bacalso told The Freeman.

Members of the Cebu City Quick Response Team were immediately dispatched and helped transport the students to Talisay City for spiritual intervention.

They arrived at the spiritual center past 3 p.m. and prayers were immediately done to calm the students.

Msgr. Joseph Tan, spokesperson of the Archdiocese of Cebu, emphasized the importance of prayer as the armor against evil.

“For those directly concerned in supernatural phenomenon that suggests diabolical possessions, it is important to bring them to priests for blessing and prayer. Taking them to Msgr. Fred is a very positive move as he is experienced in healing and deli-verance prayer,” Tan told The Freeman.

He then referred to an old practice which is considered shield from negative energies.

“As a traditional practice, holy water is used in defense from the devil. This is to bless themselves and protect from sorts of evil. This is not implying something magical but more of calling upon God’s protection,” Tan continued.

He reminded the parents to guide their children especially with the things they read and watch.

“It is very important for parents to exercise caution, for them to monitor their children on the things that they read and watch. It could start from simply reading about their in books or watching videos online but could reach to the point of them practi-cing rituals or something like that. It is not uncommon for the young to be curious on these things. But these are not intended for them as this can trigger and become portal for evil to enter. We don’t encourage that children watch or read these without adult supervision,” he added.

Apart from spiritual steps, the archdiocesan spokesperson suggested seeking medical explanation, stressing the need to exhaust possible assessment on the situation.

“A medical doctor has to also check on these children to see if there is a need for their intervention,” said Tan.

But Councilor Dave Tumulak, chairperson of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, said the supposed demonic possession could just be a mass hysteria.

“In my personal assessment after going to the site, this is mass hysteria. One student claimed to have seen a little child, panicked and fainted. Those who helped said they saw the same and likewise fainted. Nagkatag-katag na until it became mass hysteria,” Tumulak told The Freeman.

Upon reaching Barangay Toong, Tumulak saw that even teachers and parents were panicking so he conducted a debriefing and discussed mass hysteria and how to deal with the situation.

“I lectured them on the importance of presence of mind and making sure the children and even adults in panic do not sustain injury. The parish priest of Buhisan also led the community in a prayer. They did the rosary,” Tumulak said.

The medical team along with the councilor had checked on the students and found that their vital signs were normal. Immediately after the hysteria, their pulse rates were high which was understandable, Tumulak added.

A Mass will be held today inside the school campus. The debriefing will also continue. According to Tumulak, he will make use of the opportunity – when parents and guardians of the students will be around today because of the scheduled distribution of cards – to conduct lecture on mass hysteria.

Ghost Photobombs a Picture in Bristol Cemetery.

Is this the spookiest photobomb EVER? Gigantic 'ghost skeleton' appears in haunted cemetery snap.



A couple were having a stroll next to a Victorian chapel and decided to get a few pictures - but were shocked to see the ghoulish 'skeleton' in the background.

It isn't unusual to fall foul of a photobombing frolicker at a wedding reception - but it's pretty out-of-the-ordinary when the snap-crasher in question is a GHOST.

The spooky picture on the right, taken by a couple of wedding guests, appears to show a ghostly figure resembling part of an over-sized skeleton.

Oliver and Mary Davey were celebrating a wedding at Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol when they decided to take some snaps in the chapel grounds.

But what they saw was enough to scare the pants off Derek Acorah.

The pair hurried into the wedding reception, where they showed the scary image to guests - and they were every bit as shocked.

Oliver, 35, said: "I took the first picture, but I realised Mary wasn't looking at the camera so I took another one.

"I saw the spooky face straight away. I was just confused and a bit shocked.

"I was amazed really. I showed my wife and a lot of the other wedding guests.

"I am sure there wasn't anyone near me - nobody was smoking - so I don't know what it is.

"The funny thing is I had just been having a conversation about how I didn't really believe in ghosts, so it was spooky timing."

Oliver and Mary, 32, a sustainability advisor, noticed the scary face around 6.30pm on Saturday.

The Arnos Vale Cemetery was established in 1837 as an Arcadian landscape and includes a number of listed buildings and monuments.

It is said to be haunted by a nun who was bricked up in a wall by her distraught sisters after she committed suicide when she got pregnant.

A weeping woman dressed in black is also said haunt the grave of her husband who was killed in WW1, and third woman is said to have been seen in the area after being mistakenly buried alive.

Teacher Oliver took a picture of Mary but it wasn't very good so he took another - but the next frame revealed the ghoulish outline of a head, neck and shoulders.

The Victorian GHOSTBUSTERS: Historic records reveal pioneering scientists who investigated reports of ghouls and spirits.

The Victorian GHOSTBUSTERS: Historic records reveal pioneering scientists who investigated reports of ghouls and spirits.

• Historical records have revealed a trio of real-life ghostbusters

• They show the first attempts to study ghosts began with Edmund Gurney, Frederic Myers and Frank Podmore

• The scientists were leading figures in the Society for Psychical Research

• They also worked on the committee for Apparitions and Haunted Houses

• Their aim was to find evidence for human survival after death in the 1880s

• Mr Myers also commissioned a ghost census between 1889 and 1892

• It revealed Victorian women were more susceptible to the supernatural

• With 12% of women surveyed reporting seeing a ghost compared to 9% me

It's been 30 years since Peter Venkman, Raymond Stanz and Egon Spengler took on the ghosts of Manhattan in Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters film.

But historical records have revealed a trio of ghoul-hunting scientists were leading the way when it came to investigating the supernatural.

London-based Findmypast.co.uk discovered the first ever attempts to study and so-called ‘apparitional experiences’ began with Edmund Gurney, Frederic Myers and Frank Podmore.

The three men were said to be leading figures in the early years of the Society for Psychical Research, and worked on the committee for Apparitions and Haunted Houses to provide evidence for human survival after death.

Their work was widely publicised by newspaper editor, of the Pall Mall Gazette, and believer and active commenter on spiritualism, William Thomas Stead.

Many of the original ‘ghostbusters’ theories and investigations involved séances, deathbed wraiths, hauntings, apparitions and mediums.

Their work began in 1882, when the Society for Psychical Research was founded.

Mr Gurney, Mr Myers and Mr Podmore teamed up to research the possibility of existence after death.

In 1888 Mr Myers, then secretary of the Society for Psychical Research, called for a census of ghosts.

He asked the public to report if they or their neighbours had ever seen or felt supernatural presences.

People were asked to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to questions such as: ‘Have you ever, when in good health and completely awake, had a distinct impression of seeing or being touched by a human being, or of hearing a voice or sound which suggested a human presence when no one was there?’

Another question was: ‘Can you recall that you have ever, in the course of the last ten years, when in good health, had a dream of the death of some person known to you (about whom you were not anxious at the time), which dream you marked as an exceptionally vivid one, and of which the distressing impression lasted for as long as an hour after you rose in the morning?’

The results were published by Mr Stead in 1894, when he concluded that ‘of the thousand million persons now living on the planet, there would be, if they all lived to maturity, at least ten million who will see and recognise in the course of their lives realistic apparitions of dead persons’.

This census, carried out between 1889 and 1892 also revealed that women were more susceptible to the supernatural, with 12 per cent of the women surveyed reporting seeing a ghost compared to 9 per cent of men.

And later, in 1933, an article appeared in the Litchfield Mercury calling for a new ghost census.

Mr Stead, Mr Gurney and Mr Podmore all met untimely deaths under what some described as mysterious circumstances.

Mr Stead died on board the Titanic, after previously predicting he would die from either lynching or drowning.

Mr Gurney died from the effects of an unexplained overdose of chloroform and a verdict of accidental death was recorded, while Mr Podmore drowned.

Reports state that neither Mr Podmore's brother, his wife nor any member of the Society for Psychical Research attended his funeral, but there absence was not explained.

Findmypast.co.uk also discovered a collection of other tales of ghosts, death and terror in newspaper archives.

For example, an 1897 article detailed a haunted London taxi.

It explained that on a ‘dreary night’, a taxi driver picked up a man who was on the run from ‘invisible enemies’.

After driving his vehicle away, the driver said the man had committed suicide in the back of his taxi.

Within a few days, the driver was also found dead in his cab, said to have been strangled by the ghost of the man.

Another report, details WW1 explosives made from dead soldiers.

Records details rumours circulated during WW1 stating that the Germans were ‘distilling glycerine from the bodies of their dead’ to make soap and explosives.

And, in a more unusual report, an article explained how a young girl set off to visit her grandparents one night and heard footsteps behind her.

She is said to have ran for her life and fainted with exhaustion and terror at the door of their house, where the child’s grandfather found her.

Reports claim that she may have been killed by a donkey found standing nearby.

Grandmother claims her 200 plus dolls are possessed.

Grandmother, 52, celebrates Halloween with her 'family' of 200 dolls that she believes are possessed by the spirits of dead children.

• Sue King, of Toledo, Ohio, decks out home with Halloween decor each year

• She's been collecting since 2011, when one told her its name was Hazel

• She believes they are possessed by dead children who were often abused

• She says they often play tricks on her, like turn on radio in dead of night

• She also has eight real grandchildren who she says she loves just as much

There's never a doll moment in Sue King's household at Halloween ... especially in the dead of night.

For that's when her collection of porcelain playthings come alive with the mischievous souls of deceased children, she claims.

 The 52-year-old grandmother, from Toledo, Ohio, has amassed 200 dolls in three years, and believes each one is haunted by the spirit of a dead youngster.

'It might sound creepy,' she says, 'but I genuinely believe that my dolls have been possessed by the ghosts of children who have passed away.'

So instead of bobbing apples and trick-or-treating tonight, Sue will be dressing up her porcelein babies in costumes of the undead while keeping an eye out for their pranks.

'They're really naughty and are always playing tricks on me,' she said. 'The radio will come on in the middle of the night, or the oven will switch off while I'm cooking.

'Once, when I was doing the washing up in the kitchen, all the cupboards flew open and then I heard a tiny giggle from another room.

'On another occasion, one of them bit me in the shower.

'It's hard to stay angry at them though, because I love them so much.'

She says it's her supernatural instinct that has brought her closer to the figurines - who she says she loves just as much as her eight real-life grandchildren.

'I've always been spiritual, and I just have a sense for these kinds of things,' she adds. 'I believe it is my destiny for these dolls and I to be family. I love my dolls as much as I love my own grandchildren, and I know they love me back.'

This year, Sue will be continuing her annual tradition of treating her dolls to a spook-tacular Halloween.

Once a year, she decks out her house with creepy decorations including spiders, ghouls and hand-carved pumpkins so her dolls can join in on the fun.

Sue even makes her dolls scary vampire outfits and paints their faces.

She said: 'Halloween is my favourite time of the year, and I like to make sure that my dolls enjoy it too. They love it.'

Sue, who also has eight grandchildren, first began collecting haunted dolls in 2011 after spotting one at a flea market.

She says she felt instantly drawn to the doll, who she claims later confided in her that her name was Hazel.

Sue said: 'As soon as I saw her, I knew she wasn't just an ordinary doll. There was something so mysterious about her.

'I took her home with me and as I was settling her down on the couch, I heard a little voice say 'Help me'.

'I looked her straight in the eye, and then she told me that her name was Hazel.

'From then on, I knew that there were other dolls like her out there, and I wanted to help them.'

Three years later, Sue has amassed an impressive collection of more than 200 porcelain dolls - spending a total of £5,000.

Most of them are bought on eBay, whilst she also spots them at local flea markets and charity shops.

According to Sue, each of the dolls has their own story, which often includes an unhappy childhood.

She said: 'Every doll I take in has its own tragic story - often they were abused, or were unloved by their parents.

'I just want to give them the happy childhood that they never had.'

To keep her ghostly grandchildren happy, Sue and her boyfriend of 13 years, Gilbert, 55, treat them to parties and strolls in a pram. Sue even cuts them a slice of cake on their birthday.

However, Sue admits that they can also be mischievous.

Sue intends to adopt more dolls in the future.

Claims of Paranormal Activity at Karkardooma District Court.

An Indian courthouse investigates reports of unusual suspects.

Over the past year, some unusual events have occurred at a courthouse in eastern New Delhi. Books have disappeared, strange noises have been heard. Computers and lights have seemed to switch on by themselves.

Employees at Karkardooma District Court began wondering whether the complex was haunted. Eventually, the executive committee of the local bar association called a meeting, mulled over the evidence and decided to install closed-circuit television cameras to find out what was going on.

“We were primarily concerned because we thought somebody was stealing books,” said Raman Sharma, joint secretary of the Shahdara Bar Association. But they were unsure whether the culprit was human or otherworldly.

In opening its investigation, the bar association joined a long list of authorities that have taken seriously complaints of paranormal activity in India, a country said to live in several centuries at once.

Last year, for example, a police station in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh was shuttered after a “resident spirit” terrorized the beat constable on duty, according to a report in the Times of India. A state lawmaker demanded an inquiry. Elsewhere, a primary school was closed temporarily when a boy said he saw an egg-shaped ghost emanating from a chalkboard.

Staff members of a courthouse in Delhi said they found their computers turned on in the morning even though they shut them down before leaving office the previous morning. (Yusuf Ansari/YouTube)

Police regularly investigate complaints about alleged supernatural events. “We entertain all complaints, be it against zombies or werewolves,” a police officer told the Times earlier this year, referring to another paranormal matter.

Fantastical tales — of levitating holy men, firewalkers, conjurers, religious statues seeping saffron water — are not uncommon in India, an ancient culture in which the line between superstition and belief is often blurred.

“This is how everyone in India is brought up — listening to ghost stories,” said Sushil Sharma, a lawyer who has worked in the courthouse since 1989.

New Delhi, the country’s sprawling capital and home to 16 million people, is known as the “city of jinns,”a reference to genies from the Islamic tradition still said to inhabit the city’s shrines and graveyards. News of the courthouse haunting, thus, “will bring relief to people who feared Delhi’s age-old djinns and spirits are being driven away by the process of gentrification,” the news Web site Scroll noted drolly.

But there’s a darker side to such beliefs. In tribal areas of eastern India, women are still accused of being witches. Blamed for everything from crop failure to infertility, the accused are often beaten and sometimes killed. Villagers with little access to health care often turn to shamans, or faith healers, for help. Last year, a prominent Indian rationalist who long advocated a law against black magic was gunned down while on his morning walk in the western city of Pune.

Just a block from the courthouse in New Delhi, a billboard advertises the services of a healer who can solve a variety of vexing problems, from sour love affairs to demon possession.

“We’ve got a country with a 16th-century mindset superimposed on the 21st century,” groused Narendra Nayak, president of the Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations. “People will use their mobile phones to view ghosts, and we will do a puja [prayer ritual] before sending a spacecraft to Mars. Lots of cultures have learned to get over these things and be more rational in their approach, but we haven’t. That’s the tragedy of this country.”

The bar association’s grainy, dim surveillance video had plenty to satisfy believers — floating white orbs, flickering computer screens — and much to raise doubt.

“It was just a virus,” lawyer Madan Lal Karkar said Tuesday while sitting in the small cyber library seen in the video. Karkar was playing computer chess, but in general, the room is used infrequently now. The Internet isn’t working.

The library is in one of several concrete buildings with open-air corridors that during daylight hours are filled with witnesses, suspects, lawyers in their customary black jackets and banded collars — a holdover from the British Raj — and an occasional stray dog. To say the place is dusty would be an understatement. Piles the size of large anthills clutter stairwells. Plastic sleeves protect legal volumes.

When Sharma heard about the surveillance cameras, he felt somewhat vindicated, he said. For years he has been saying that supernatural activity is occurring at the courthouse — ever since he and a colleague were returning to their chambers late one evening and heard loud knocking and saw a padlock swinging wildly back and forth, seemingly on its own. These days, he makes sure to leave work before nightfall.

“I was fully conscious. I’m not a drug addict, I’m a lawyer,” Sharma said. “I believe something is happening here. We should talk about it.”

The bar association said it plans to leave the spirit alone for now, until the publicity dies down.

It was getting late. Darkness gathered. A curl of moon rose. It was time for Sharma to go home. No ghosts seemed to be in evidence. A colleague who had started happy hour early began singing drunkenly in his chambers. The sound echoed eerily throughout the emptying complex and floated down to the busy street.

Civil War figure captured in 'haunted' pub?

Proof ghosts are real? Eerie Civil War figure captured in 'haunted' pub.

PARANORMAL investigators have captured the outline of an eerie Civil War soldier in a "haunted" pub, perhaps providing proof at last that ghosts are real.

Incredible images shot with specialist equipment show how a shadowy figure appears from thin air.

The mysterious armour-clad silhouette slowly becomes visible in the pictures - but was incredibly NOT viewable from outside of the camera lens.

The shots were taken by paranormal investigators at the "haunted" pub, which has existed since the 16th century and has seen numerous ghost sightings.

Paul Rowland said the images were taken after he and his team of paranormal investigators heard a disturbance in the building they were staying at. 

The ghost hunter explained how the shadowy figure, which he believes to be a ghost, was only viewable once the pictures were developed.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he said: "I believe it was a ghost.

"Out of all of the thousands of pictures I've taken over the years in lots and lots of different locations that it was one of the best I've taken.

"What interested me in particular was that shot in the doorway. There's a dark outline which is my colleague Steve.

"Now he is solid and you can't see through him. But the misty figure on the right is semi-transparent.

"That gives the picture context. If a living person with a solid body looks like this how can there be someone transparent?"
Mr Rowland, 54, has been a paranormal investigator for 12 years and works with a team of six other spirit hunters.

The images were taken at the Ye Old Kings Head in Chester using experimental technology the ghost detective developed himself.

He said he showed the picture to an independent Civil War expert who said it looked like a war-time soldier and in particular a pikeman.

The pub where the ghost sighting took place has existed since the 16th century, before the conflict between Roundheads and Cavaliers took place.

Mr Rowland said: "The building dates back to 1622 before the Civil War and lived through it.

"People say that if someone dies or haunts a building it is for a specific reason.

"Over the years there have been many recounts of things happening to guests in bedrooms, bangs, sheets being pulled off, weird noises in the middle of the night."

The images were taken during a paranormal investigation on August 20 as Mr Rowland and three others "called out to spirit contacts".

The pictures were taken with a camera that generates infrared, ultraviolet and blue light.

Most Haunted capture "Possessed Wheelchair" on film.

Terrifying moment TV crew capture moving 'possessed wheelchair'


The haunted chair was found in Newton House in Wales, a 17th century mansion built on the site of an ancient castle.

The Carmarthenshire house is reputedly haunted by a 'White Lady,' and researchers from the Most Haunted TV series decided to investigate.

Explaining what they found, presenter Yvette Fielding said: "At the end of the episode we manage to capture an old Victorian wheelchair and we capture it moving on its own. The footage has been analysed for fakery, and all the rest of it and it is amazing, fantastic stuff."

The most haunted place in Britain, she said, is the Edinburgh Vault, and the "Stone Circle".

 "Three of the crew suffered scratches, and cuts on their back and back of their legs from negative energy. One of them went to A&E.

"I was so frightened and terrified and couldn't stop crying. It was very upsetting."Helping to launch the Sunday Express A-Z of the Unexplained, Yvette said that more people now believe in "the afterlife" than when she began doing the show 15 years ago.

She said: "When it started only about 30 per cent believed in spiritualism. Now the latest surveys are saying 60 per cent."

Fielding, who presents the series on Really channel, said: "We've not seen such an upsurge since The Great War, the last period of spiritualism, but again, there are so many terrible things happening; there's all this unrest, we need answers."

She has also made contact with her late father and a grandmother; "I now have a better relationship with my father than when he was alive!"

Ghost hunter stabs himself in the chest while staying overnight at ax murder house

Ghost hunter stabs himself in the chest while staying overnight at ax murder house where six children and two adults were killed in 1912.

• Robert Laursen, 37, wounded himself 'investigating' murder scene in Iowa

• Was staying overnight at Villisca Ax Murder House, and stabbed self at 1am

• Sheriff's department could not provide motive, do not suspect 'foul play'

• Eight people were murdered there while sleeping by mystery killer in 1912

A ghost hunter staying overnight at a house where six children and two adults were killed by an ax murderer in 1912 has stabbed himself in the chest.

Robert Laursen, 37, stabbed himself for no obvious reason just before 1am Friday at the Villisca Ax Murder House, a tourist attraction in Villisca, Iowa.

Laursen was taken to hospital after inflicting the wound on himself. Local authorities could not ascribe a motive to his actions. 

The Ax Murder House is the site of a grisly 1912 murder, where eight victims were killed in their sleep by an ax-wielding killer who was never caught.

According to local authorities, Laursen was carrying out a 'paranormal investigation' when he stabbed himself with an unknown object.

It is not clear where in the house he was at the time. Laursen is thought to have had at least two companions.

The Sheriff's department in Montgomery County, Iowa, said there was 'no indications of foul play' that night and that no criminal charges will be issued.

The house, which is a well-known tourist attraction, has been restored to its 1912 condition and has no plumbing or electric lights.

Laursen, from Rhinelander, Wisconsin, was taken to a local hospital then flown to Creighton Medical Center for more serious treatment.

The owner of the house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, has said called the event 'shocking'.

Martha Linn, 77, told the Omaha World-Herald: 'It’s kind of shocking to wake up and hear that someone has nearly died at your tourist attraction... I can’t imagine why somebody would do something like this to himself.'

According to Linn, a steady stream of crime enthusiasts visit the home, where day tours and overnight stays are on offer, in the hope of solving the case.

However, nothing violent or dangerous has ever happened at the attraction in the 20 years it has been open.

• Andrew has been crying hysterically asking his mom: 'Why did you let me die in the fire?'

• She claims he recognizes photos of other soldiers that were with Sgt. Lewis when he died

• The family are working with the TV show Ghost Inside My Child

A Virginia mom has come to believe the ghost of a US Marine who was killed over 30 years ago in a terror attack is somehow now possessing her four-year-old son.

Michele Lucas of Virginia Beach claims her son Andrew has been recalling the story of Sgt. Val Lewis, a soldier who died in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing.

Lucas told WTKR-TV it started when the toddler began talking about things no child his age should, beginning with saying he used to live at 860 Main Street in Sumter, Georgia.

Lucas began researching herself but couldn't work out what Andrew was talking to, however the behavior only increased.

 She started suspecting there was a spirit living inside her son, she told WTKR, and reached out to the creators of television show Ghost Inside My Child.

'He just starts crying hysterically and I say “What’s wrong Andrew?” and he says, “Why did you let me die in that fire?' Lucas told the station.

The show producers investigated further and apparently connected the things Andrew was saying with the story of Sgt. Lewis, using the address and the fire.

 

The Beirut barrack bombings killed over 300 people, including 241 American servicemen - among them Sgt. Lewis - during the Lebanese Civil War.

They showed the boy pictures of Sgt. Lewis and some of his Marine friends, who Andrew seemed to recognize and was able to talk about.

Lucas decided to take her son to the Georgia gravesite of Sgt. Lewis in the hope it might bring him some closure.

She said he walked straight up to the headstone and placed flowers atop of it, before taking off for another grave nearby, which he said was one of his friends.

The strange occurrences continued when the family returned to Virginia Beach.

'About two weeks ago, there was an emblem on my wall and it was like somebody went up to it and turned it, and it went right back,' Lucas told WTKR.

'So it’s kind of creeping me out.

'I don’t know if I’ve picked up spirits while I was in the graveyard.

'I don’t know.'

Lucas said her next step is to see a psychic, hoping they will able to give her better answers.

'Is my house haunted? Is my child haunted?' she said.

'I don’t know.'

“Demonic Infestation” at Pittsburgh Home.

Family Says Their Home’s Secret History Led to a ‘Demonic Infestation’ That Terrorized them for Years — and Here Are Some of Their Terrifying Photos.

It’s an eerie story of a so-called “demonic infestation” that seems so terrifying that it is perfectly suited for the pages of a horror novel. But Bob Cranmer, a former commissioner in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, insists that it was a horrific and life-altering reality for him and his family.

From a mysterious, blood-like substance coating the walls of his home to crucifixes purportedly snapping in half on their own and scratches randomly appearing on his body, Cranmer told TheBlaze earlier this year that something profoundly evil was terrorizing his family.

He claims that the demonic force was eventually expelled, but only after the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Fr. Michael Salvagna, a local priest, Protestant pastors and Adam Blai, a self-described demonologist, spent two years fervently battling its presence by repeatedly holding Mass and blessing the home.

  Following the release of his new book in August detailing the purported horrors titled, “The Demon of Brownsville Road: A Pittsburgh Family’s Battle with Evil in Their Home,” Cranmer recently shared with TheBlaze photos and additional details of what unfolded.

He claims that the images, which show a range of the purported activity in the home, capture only a tiny portion of the chaos that raged:

The “Figure” on the Staircase

Cranmer said that it at first seemed as though there was a “friendly ghost” inside the home in December 1998 after his family moved in — and that it wasn’t until 2003 that the situation truly intensified.

One day, he said he noticed the family dog sitting and intently staring at something on the staircase.

Cranmer didn’t see anyone or anything there, but he decided to snap a photo anyway. After he had it developed, he noticed a “smoky skeleton” on the staircase.

And that’s what he believes his dog was staring at — the very force that he contends was wreaking havoc within the home.

“I couldn’t see it with my own eyes,” he said.

In a previous interview, Cranmer, who has four children, said his kids also once saw the entity, describing the figure as “a really strange-looking person” wearing a black dress.

But that was the only overt apparition, as he said the demon would typically manifest itself as a shadowy figure moving about the home.

Blai, a demonology expert, has a degree in psychology and said he saw shadows with no origin and experienced phantom smells.

“I observed black shadows sliding along floors and walls that were not being cast by anything,” Blai told TheBlaze. “I also smelled a column of air with a horrific death-like stench that moved like a person walking. This column of air left no lingering scent behind it like natural odors would.” Mysterious Scratches on His Body

Cranmer also said that he would often wake up in the morning with mysterious scratches on his body.

“The scratches would [usually] appear in a group of three parallel scratches and they would generally run straight down your back and across your chest,” he said. “I would never feel [them] when they were being applied. I would wake up in the morning and I could certainly feel them then because it hurt.”

The Bending and Snapping of Crucifixes

It wasn’t uncommon for the Cranmer family to use crucifixes in their effort to battle the demonic force they believed was infesting their home.

They would often wear the necklaces, but would frequently wake-up and discover that something quite peculiar had happened to them.

“There’s one that my son wore. It was bent completely in half, folded over on itself,” he said. “And we found it on the floor off of its neck and when I opened it up again it broke in half.”

Here are some photos of the crucifixes, which were bent and snapped in half:

“Blood” on the Walls

Perhaps one of the creepier claims is the blood-like substance that Cranmer said first appeared in puddles on the bathroom floor and then later on the walls of the home.

“The walls really didn’t bleed,” he said. “It’s not like this stuff seeped out of the walls on its own and ran down.”

He said, instead, that it seemed as though someone or something had intentionally splattered it.

Noting that priests were always going through the home and splashing holy water on the walls and floor, he said it seemed as though the demonic force did the same thing with the reddish substance.

Orbs in the Coal Room

One day, Cranmer snapped a photo of the coal room of his home and later noticed numerous circular objects seemingly floating in the air.

Supernatural orbs or a mere consequence of the complexities surrounding lighting and photography? You decide:

While Cranmer’s story might seem unbelievable to many, the Diocese of Pittsburgh has publicly stood by the details, as have others who were involved during the two-year effort to correct the situation inside the home.

“I kind of have post-traumatic stress disorder,” Cranmer said of the experience. “I was always worried that this thing was coming back and that it would start up again.”

But aside from a few minor incidents, the home has been relatively calm since faith leaders held a final Mass in 2005, he said.

As TheBlaze previously reported, Salvagna, who was present during what Cranmer described as “deliverance services” in the home, corroborated many of the details shown in the photos and described by Cranmer in interviews.

“When we went to pray … you felt you were invading an enemy territory,” Salvagna told TheBlaze. “We would have these smells … drippings on the wall that looks like blood.” The priest also said that Cranmer and his family members would “wake up with scratches or bites” and that the horror took a toll on the entire family.

Salvagna offered up the theory is that an abortion mill was run inside the home long ago and that it possibly opened the door to the terrifying presence. Additionally, the family believes that a traumatic murder and burial might have unfolded in the 1700s on the property.

The priest described the process of dispelling the force as a long one that was “like putting out a fire on a gas well.”

“There are ritual prayers for house infestation. There are patterns of prayer,” Salvagna said. “We turn to God, the saints, the blessed mother … there are regular prayers … Psalms … scripture passages.”

Yacht haunted by Natalie Wood is up for sale.

Owner of yacht which Natalie Wood died on 28 years ago puts it up for sale claiming it's 'haunted' by West Side Story star.

• Natalie Wood 'haunts The Splendour yacht' where she was last seen alive

• Ron Nelson bought it in 1986 but claims spirit is increasingly present

• He said he has experienced 'weird falls' and 'ghost sat on my bed'

• West Side Story actress Wood drowned in 1981 after being aboard  

The owner of the yacht where Natalie Wood spent her final moments has put it on the market after claiming the actress still haunts the decks.

Ron Nelson bought The Splendour in 1986, five years after the West Side Story actress mysteriously drowned off the coast of Catalina Island.

But now, 28 years later, he has revealed the force of Wood's spirit is too strong, forcing him to get rid of it altogether.

The numerous 'supernatural' incidents include a number of 'weird falls', he told the National Enquirer.

'It’s just like my feet came out from under me and I fell,' he explained.

Another time a being sat on his bed: 'Something sat down on the bed and then left.

And during the recent Hurricane Ana, The Splendour became suspiciously waterlogged, he said.

In 2011, Nelson, a former United Airlines flight attendant, admitted to Hawaii's KITV.com that 'there's been a lot of strange things that have happened on the boat.'

He even had the yacht blessed by two Hawaiian kahunas - a kind of shaman - to clean the boat's spirit.

But despite his efforts, he says, it is unbearable.

He hopes a museum will buy The Splendour to preserve it.

The stateroom contains many of the same tiles, the same blue bed remains in exactly the same spot and the initials WW are still etched into the captain's seat.

Nelson bought the boat from Robert Wagner, Wood's husband.

He carried out small renovations, before taking two friends on a trip to Catalina Island, where the actress died. He said it was a 'last goodbye to Natalie'.

Afterwards, they made the two week trip to Hawaii where he has spent 10 years restoring the boat. He said he was now almost ready to begin chartering voyages.

He said he tried to keep his makeover as close to the original as possible, and has kept the stateroom with the blue bed, dubbed 'Natalie's Room', and most of the tiles.

The initials WW are still etched onto the captain's seat, just as they were when Wagner and Natalie owned the boat.

Nelson said the 60ft boat's history was one of the reasons why he bought it, and told Hawaii's KITV.com said: 'I have read pretty much every article ever written about her death.'
