My Ghost Stories


People are very divided on ghosts, the super natural and the occult. Be it due to religion or how you were raised or just 'can't be proved by science' mind set. I personally have seen too much to say I don't think ghosts are real. 

I saw ghosts or at least creepy things when I was little and again as a teenager. But not in my adult life, I;ve always gotten 'vibes' and hate certain places or people just on a vibe they give off of them. I've had two little creepy possibly ghost related issues recently.

Over a friends house and one of his guitars just makes a noise all on it's own. I didn't think much of it but next time I was sleeping and they were in the shower and I felt a definite 'pat' on my shoulder with some force. They even heard me yelp in my sleep.

I don't know.. but apparently odd things only happen when I'm over. Maybe I have a spirit attached to me? I don't mind too much, they seem harmless and I don't feel put out by them or anything.

Also we found this creepy as canvas picture in their garden.. I hate kids, I better not be haunted by a kid... ugh.

I guess while we are on the subject I can tell you more about my past ones too. I love to read about peoples ghostly experiences so maybe other people do and hey it's something a little different on the blog.

When I was very young me, mum and step father lived in this old ass house in the middle of nowhere. Think real cliche horror movie set up. Big Victorian house with fields and fields around it. I lived next to a farm so there was my house, one just down the road and one up a huge hill that was a manner which belonged to the farmer. Man do I sound like a bumpkin or what?


The house was from the Victorian era, suffered cold all the time, sturdy building, creaky floorboards, fireplaces in every room. Huge with three bedrooms and a massive attic. One of those biiiig ones with huge wooden beams and issues with rats and wildlife. 
Anyone some examples of possible ghost going ons was foot steps late at night in the attic but could be the house settling and all that sort of thing. My step father said sometimes he saw a women down the bottom of the garden, there was footsteps in the living room. I used to see someone looking into my room every so often, like a shadow cast on the floor which wasn't my parents, I always asked.

One night though we all went out for dinner and when we came back the window to the attic was wide open. The windows including that one were all new modern ones to make the place warmer and none of us went into the attic.. so creepy shit man.


Another time when I was a teenager, out in the country again when I was seeing my Grandmother in the village over. We used to all walk down the empty county lanes and stuff. Me and a guy friend went for a walk one day. Was summer, nice and bright, warm, all that. Nothing creepy in the air no bad vibes.

We went down one lane and it started to have high hedges that looked all styled. Looked like we were going around the hedge maze in Alice In Wonderland we went deeper and it turned into a dark very tree covered lane. Again nothing felt off, or creepy we walked along and saw a small old bridge that had a little stream.

Went down the slope and sat down by the stream just chatting about shit and enjoying the warm weather. The place looked so untouched and pretty. We sat there in silence for ages just looking at the water, we saw someones reflection and thought there was someone with us, we both looked up and no one was there.

We thought that was odd... to see a definite reflection standing on the bank the other side but no one there. We then sat a little puzzled and heard giggling, little kids gigging, we looked around seeing if it wasn't someone walking on the road we'd walked on above, no one. My friend claimed to have saw a child running under the bridge but I never saw it. Only the reflection and heard the giggles.

Was strange and abit 'wow was that a ghost' but wasn't scary. The place had railway tracks from way back when the village had a track so many years ago like before the wars. My Grandmother said a kid was hit by a train down there once upon a time.

So maybe...

Anyway that's my little stories, I hope you enjoyed them.

Paranormal Witness

(2011 onwards)

So far this TV show has aired a full first season containing 6 episodes and is airing season two at the moment with two episodes already in the bag.

I found this by having nothing to watch last night and even though it was on a channel I link with fucking awful shitty TV [REALLY?] I thought that sounds good! I only missed the first three minutes which always seems to be a small portion of up coming clips anyway.


Most eps without adverts are around 45 minutes long and contain two stories, though in some cases the main story is so long it needs it own episode. So you get a big long story then normally a little ten minute one at the end.

The acting is really good for something you think would be corny. They get the real life people to tell us of their real live accounts of the paranormal while we watch reenactments of what happened on the screen. Between each piece we see the people and how they react while telling their stories and the first one I saw about the little girl with her 'friend' Emily you could tell it had been killing the mother and father.

I'm a sucker for the paranormal it has to be said, I am a believer though movies like PARANORMAL ACTIVITY don't scare me as I know it's all Hollywood bullshit but when it's like this? in a real life kind of vibe? like a documentary it does freak me out as I have seen and felt things of a paranormal nature and to me they are real.


So the first ep is about a mother and father who bring their little girl to a new home and make it all nice, you know the typical American dream kinda lifestyle and they soon notice their little girl talking to this 'Emily' as the ep goes on we soon realise that Emily isn't just the young girls mind but a nasty spirit who starts to show it's true form by moving things around, smashing things and even dragging the girl down the basement stairs.

After getting a Medium in things get even worse, we realise the spirit is of a male and they even start to see him after they confronted him.


Things just get worse and worse and the fear builds and you can see on the parents faces they are so near breaking point and so scared for their child but are unable to move out due to money reasons and have to deal with this shit head spirit who seems to hate seeing people happy..


Bit of a jealous asshole if you ask me
.. he also announced he wants the parents out but the little girl can stay... so now the spirit is a pedo?

I liked the story it had me gripped and the raw feelings on the people paired with the 'as it happened' type footage makes for a good story even if you don't believe in it.

Next small story is about a girl who died in a car crash and her ghost morns her tragic loss of life.

It's well acted with good stories.


Acting: 4/5
Plot: 4/5
Scares: 4.5/5
Gore: 0/5

Overall: 4.5/5

Bill Spectre's Oxford Ghost Walk

Bill Spectre's Ghost Walks


I've always wanted to go on a Ghost Walk being into the supernatural and all that jazz and last October me and some friends went to the Oxford ghost walk with Bill Spectre and it was so fantastic I felt it needed it's own review on the blog.

If your ever in Oxford you really need to do this trail, I think he runs them Friday and Sunday but you would have to check his website for that which will be linked.

Bill Spectre meets you at Oxford castle where you pay and get your ticket/sticker. First thing we notice about Bill is he is into his role 100% he's dressed the part, acts the part even down to his mannerisms and how he talks gives the event such a flare.


He takes you around the city of Oxford which is a beautiful city on its own and full of amazing looking buildings and worth a site seeing anyway. He tells you about the history and the ghost stories of the city and every stop has a story and even a little bit of a show.

It's history, ghost stories, magic and comedy all rolled into one amazing package, Bill Spectre is a great entertainer. The ghost walk is around about an hour and is £7 a head which if worth it.
