Spooky Tales & Urban Legends. Welcome to the paranormal & supernatural.

On the Ghostie Trail

You want to hunt out ghosts? Are you sure? If you are quite, quite sure then there are many places you can go to: places where there have been regular reported sightings. Of course, you are not guaranteed to see a ghost, but you can have fun trying.

There are many sites on the internet which are dedicated to this theme, so visit any one of a number to see where you should plan your first ghost hunt. You may decide you want it to be close to your home or you may wish to choose somewhere that has the highest reported sightings, so you will need to jump in your GPS tracking equipped car and drive up there.

Research your chosen location as well as you can, find out when the sightings occur more frequently and under which conditions. Find out the history of the place and the reported ghost and why they are haunting the area. (more...)

Ghosts at the Click of a Button

Most areas are pretty much buttoned down by websites and articles on the internet and the paranormal is no exception. You can find everything on the web nowadays from an English language course to salsa lessons, to where you have the best chance of sighting a ghost!

Many of these sites are quite comprehensive and you can choose from castles, abbeys, churches, hotels or even stations, as well as the odd ship or two. They tell you the sad history of the location, the personal story of the person who is rumoured to be haunting the place and other more practical details that you might need if you are planning (of all things!!) to pay a visit yourself.

There are even some reportedly haunted hotels that cash in on their status – and why not – with specific themed ghosties weekends. Bed, breakfast and a bit of terror on the side. (more...)

Believe it or Not!

One topic which has been hotly debated for years now has been that of the paranormal. That's right, the old ghoulies and ghosties and things that go bump in the night.

Many people think that the sightings of these are limited to old castles where suspicious historical events have taken place – but they would be wrong as reported sightings can happen just about anywhere from a modern semi in Croydon to a gorgeous property in Marbella.

So do you believe? Many people would state unequivocally no – and yet they would be loathed to spend a night in a place reported to be haunted. However much our mind tells us to stop being stupid and look at the scientific evidence, our subconscious is often on the lookout for the lady in white or the headless horseman. (more...)

What is Normal and What is Not?

It is difficult to define what we believe to be paranormal activities. They can encompass the obvious like ghosts and the Bermuda Triangle; but there is also a fine line between what may be paranormal and what may just be normal or co-incidence.

For example, you have a dream about winning the lottery and the very next day an overseas box shipping services parcel arrives with a notification of a lottery win. Did you predict the win in your dream or was it just a huge co-incidence. Who knows?

Or you miss the train to the airport and you miss your plane. The plane is then involved in an accident. Was this the work of some higher being or just a great piece of luck on your part? (more...)

All in the Mind?

Many people believe very strongly in the power of the mind to predict the future and what will happen to us. According to their line of thought, our mind is capable of tuning into higher forces to predict a range of information – from what will happen in our own future to more mathematically minded subjects such as the winning lottery numbers or the future best French mortgage rates which will be available in the next year.

Some people dismiss it as pure bunkum and do not think that anyone is capable of this – when they see or hear of examples they firmly believe that it was a coincidence and nothing else. If you have read the Black Swan you will have a good understanding of this.

And yet from time to time there are some predictions you read of which are eerily believable. Although few and far between you do hear of people who refuse to get on a plane as they predict something bad, only for the plane to crash. (more...)
