I'm not sure orbs have been mentioned yet. They were massive circa early-mid 00s. Have they since fallen out of fashion? It is interesting that you should mention "orbs." My first two digital cameras produced them all the time when taking pictures indoors, but with the newer cameras in my phones I have to paint them in by hand later. |

 Photo Nicky Roberts was MacArdle 45. Nicky Roberts was MacArdle, on uncanny goings on at Derby Gaol ... at a Richard Felix Fan party in 2007!!!! " We were just setting up the food table, the music corner and karaoke table ... The helpers were all getting into costume (it was one of the many costume parties that we used to have), I decided to get my silver Sony camera out and take a few shots of the action before the guests arrived. I was down the far end nearest the condemned cell .... and i took of photo of what was 2 of the female crew in costume walking past the cabinets towards the food table in the seating table, and thought nothing of it...." It was only when Nicky got home to Birmingham and uploaded the photo's that .... Same venue, following year, a phantom dishwasher at 3am. I'm not sure orbs have been mentioned yet. They were massive circa early-mid 00s. Have they since fallen out of fashion? I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for in that photo. It just looks like a blurred out of focus shot, and Nicky says the people were in costumes. I'm obviously not cut out to be a ghost hunter. I know some men talk to spirits on here, but I'm not sure they are of the ghost variety, so I'm not sure they can be of any help. Does the Richard Felix Fan Party include a Richard Felix themed quiz? If so I feel the Vault should now enter dem bones as our great champion to win the first prize, which I hope is a signed Richard Felix Calendar, as I've a secret yearning for one. I can't decide if I like the Richard Felix driving a tractor or the one where he is standing outside Derby City Hall the most. I'm sure Mr Felix is a fun person and won't mind a little joking. I just thought of a new thread! Stay tuned all you psychic people! |

I can see "her" gown & her left hand, which looks kind of like a lobster claw, but that's probably pareidolia. |

I never thought about looking for a giant lobster dressed in a gown, but now you mention it then it suddenly becomes obvious. Have you considered a career as a ghost hunter? |

I never said she was a giant lobster, just that her left hand looked sort of like a claw. Maybe she took part in an experiment such as "The Fly" & that was the result?
I wish I had the kind of personality needed to be a ghost hunter; maybe one day... |

I wish I had the kind of personality needed to be a ghost hunter; maybe one day... I'm sure it's fun. The attraction is in the unknowing and possibility, I'm sure Shrink Proof can explain it better. There is something enjoyable in being scared. |

We should go with that. the giant lobster idea by me is a stupid one. I can't think of why I came up with it, it's not as if there is any legends of were-lobsters. |

Really Science is quite wonderful, what would we do without it? it is our great hope, and just look: we can create women who are half-lobsters. How good is that? Maybe in the future we will even use it to land men (and women) on the Moon, and not have to fake it. The future is going to be exciting! |

A "were-lobster" horror story would be fun to read, I think. I'm sure I've heard of more bizarre were creatures than wolves somewhere in the Vault. |

the first prize, which I hope is a signed Richard Felix Calendar, as I've a secret yearning for one. I'm torn between the calendar and; At least, I was torn between them. A few pages more of The People's Ghost Story, restored me to my "senses." 46. Mark Richards. As a 16 year old, Mark and two other lads encountered a shapeless white mass on the old tram line through Middleton Woods, Leeds. 47. Peter Sugden - The Haunted Bell: As rung by ghost of his Aunt Ginny, a noted spiritualist medium in her day. 48. Karen Oliver. A kentish triple-header. The sound of phantom horse hooves on Glen Wood Drive, Sheppey; a phantom nun at Minster Abbey; and a creepy pipe-smoker in pinstripes prowls Halfway Cemetery. 49. Neil Till recalls growing up in '70s Hull ā in a house haunted by the ghost of a troubled youth who hung himself believing his mother a black magician. 50. Cheryl, a former barmaid at Fat Sam's, Mansfield, where the ghost of the man who used to run a local ping pong club would come and go as the mood took him. 51. CT. Some business involving a teddy bear and a pocket mirror. 52. Barry Taylor and the ghost of Archie the cat who got squashed by a car. #thoughtandprayers #tearsforarchie #hes_biting_the_heads_off_birds_and_torturing_mice_in_heaven_now. 53. Richard Barker. Ghost at a hospital unidentified. Possibly nurse who threw herself down lift shaft. Possibly not. 54. Chris Jenson Romer. Poltergeist activity in bungalows built on the site of St. Savior's Hospice, Abbeyford. |

55. Peter Crawley. Three ghosts of Bispham Hall, Billing, including a lady in white by the ornamental lake, a Lancs equivalent of Greyfriars Bobby, and man in riding gear lurking in the bushes. Also a female ghost humming Disney's When You Wish Upon A Star and the swish of a phantom riding crop at Wycoller Hall.
56. Dorian. Author had unnerving time of it providing night security at a South Wales fire station. Premises built above a disused mine where, in 1878, two-hundred-and-fifty-six men and boys lost their lives in an explosion. Many of those who survived the initial blast were drowned before they could be rescued. It is claimed that at least three of the casualties haunt the fire station, as does a phantom door slammer.
57. Julie Hayes. On the eve of a friend's 21st birthday party, Julia received a dreadful, retro hairdo, courtesy of a kindly phantom hairdresser in a salon which did not exist - not in the present, at any rate! A time slip?
58. Sammy, on how his uncle and a woman in 17th century attire put the willies up one another when their paths crossed in a Buckinghamshire cottage. "He said that when he looked at her, she was looking back at him and they made eye contact, and she looked just as shocked to see him as he was to see her."
59. Braden, on ghosts of York. A spectral party person swings from the chandelier and black boots prowl the corridors of The Guy Fawkes Inn. An old woman with croaky voice haunts the ladies' toilets at the The Golden Fleece.
60. Jenny Hutchings wonders if a furious row with her mum triggered poltergeist activity in the kitchen?
Forty pages to go ....

I agree; it really needs at least an editor & proof-reader. Still I managed to more or less enjoy it (my fave was the encounter with a "naked androgynous human sized shape" on Pg. 180) 61. Steve Smith - The Beginning: Steve, of UK Ghost Hunting, first became interested in the supernatural during his teens when a ball of light transformed into a smiling, long-haired woman in his bedroom. The Victorian Schoolgirl: During an investigation of a manor house in Andover, UK Ghost Hunting captured to camera the image of a Victorian girl with bow in her hair and a distorted face. The ghost's appearance was preceded by a witchy cackle. They later learned that, during the nineteenth century, the property served as an girls' board school. It was closed after complaints of pupil maltreatment. 62. Chris Willcox - "I was the Footsteps on the Stair ...": A Physical Encounter at Derbyshire's Most haunted!: How Chris was frog-marched downstairs by an irate invisible presence which refused to answer his questions during an all-night vigil at Carnsfield Hall, near Alfreton. 63. Rob on how, in 2015, he and a friend came to photograph a phantom airman stood by the roadside near Belsay village along the A696. The snapshot, and their account of the incident made the national press. 64. Chris Willcox - A Primary Encounter: Ghostly Headmaster or Something Worse?: A gowned ghost in mortarboard and tweeds behaves erratically before caretaker at a village school; the perils of litter-picking in a Peak District burial ground (featuring the "naked androgynous human sized shape"). 65. Andy Wooley on the ghost of his gran, a demonically possessed cat litter tray, and the friendly spectre of Annesley Hall. 66. Ron Smith - The Child: While washing the dishes in the middle of the night, Ron was disturbed by the ghost of a little girl minus a face in the dining room of his home. 67. Laura, in the Long Room. Did a grey-coated 18th Century Highwayman follow Laura home to Hertfordshire from the condemned cell in Bodmin Jail? We'll never know. 68. Elizabeth recalls how she was upset by the sound of crying children while visiting the tunnels beneath Cardiff Castle. They served as public bomb shelters during WWII. 69. Alan Beadle. A black cat walks into the flat where Alan and family are keeping vigil at his ailing mum's bedside. Cat approaches bed, has a look, and, satisfied, disappears. A candle goes out, and mum is at peace. 70. Jenny Duncan - Story 1: Something comes down from the attic, and a ghostly protector of mislaid teddy bear. Story 2: Phantom footsteps in the night at the RAF Valley medical centre. Story 3: Did a victim of killer Peter Moore reach out to Jenny as she was opening the main building at RAF Mona? 71. Claire Davy. The Ghost of a 13-year-old knocked down by a car haunts the Northamptonshire road where she met her end. 72. Laura Clarke wonders who - or what - left their footprints in the ant powder? 73. Sarah Sarjent. A dead man returns to see his new born grandson, does so, vanishes through wall. End. |
