Sounds like a classic example of exposure to spirits.

 

A bit too much exposure methinks...

 

And I don't mean spirits of the ghostly kind either.

I stayed in the Carbrook Hall Pub, When I was younger. Some40 plus years ago. I agree that the stories are all hyped up. The pub has changed over the years, It does not seem the same. Yes TOO much commercialism. Yet till recently I never believed in Ghosts. But certain things have happened in my home that have changed my mind. I have seen nothing in my home myself. But what has happened to my nephew convinces me that there is some sort of evil around. He has seen things and heard things. That when investigated prove that there is a supernatural being in my home. The story is far too long to put into this message, But though there are many stories that are true, These are belittled by the one's that are not true.

Hi Folks

 

Its down to your persona, not mentality, some people are spritual, some are not!

 

I am going to put my head on the block here>

 

Up to the age of 14, I thought seeing ghosts was quite normal, not wishy washy ghosts, real looking people, who I later found out to be dead! Going to a Catholic school, people thought I was crazy when I said that I see Ghosts on a regular basis.

 

How many accounts, to many to mention, nothing told me they were ghosts, other than finding out they had past away at a later date, although I have wittnessed some other strange anomolies too, that were from 'Another World'.

 

Started when I was 7 years old, I went to stay with my Grandparents who I had not seen for many years as we lived miles away.

 

It was a large Victorian House, with fireplaces in every room, even the attic. On retrospect, a spooky looking house, but this has nothing to do with what I am going to tell you, or is to add to the atmosphere.

 

That night, I awoke to find a man by my bed, it was the old large cast iron type, I asked who he was and he replied, "I'am Ted"

 

He then said"Come with me", he reached out, and I* took his hand, where he then led me to my Grandparents room.

He pointed at the bed and said" Tell your Grandad to stop smoking in bed, otherwise your grandma will lose all her money"

 

I turned away from Ted to look at my Grandparents bed, letting go of his hand in the process, then I heard a different voice" "What are you doing in here at this time of the morning, get to bed" the Sun was starting to come over the Horizon and into the Bedroom, I noticed it was my Grandad speaking, I turned round and Ted was gone.

 

In the morning my mother came to collect me, I told here about Ted and the bed and about Grandad smoking in bed.

 

She immediately went to my Grandma and started an argument about what she had been telling me, and that discussing dead people with me was not the way to treat a young boy when he comes to stay with you!

 

My Grandma insisted she had not said anything to me, neither had my Grandad, it was this point that they got a blackand white photo album out and asked me to show then who Ted was.

 

I pointed out the man who had come to my bedroom, and it startled both of them, then they asked again, what hea had said to me.

 

I mentioned again, the bit about Grandad smoking and about Grandmas money, the story was also relayed to many of my relatives over the next week or so, although I did not know what all the commotion was about?

 

Well, exactly to the week, My Grandparents house burnt down from my Grandad smoking in bed, they lived, but all my Grandmas saving were under the matress!

 

As for a ghost, the guy had died there a few weeks previous to me sleeping there, he was the lodger, who worked with my grandad. I had never met him previously.

 

He was as real as you and me!

 

On another occassion, I went to see a builder friend of mine who was working in the red house on Tapton bank in Sheffield.

 

He shouted for me to come upstairs, I went to the top, into the attic, where part of the roof was missing. I turned to see a young man hanging from the Purlin , turning slowly with a grin on his face!

 

I blinked, and it vanished!

 

I ran down stairs to tell who ever I could find, I found two of the builders there, told then the story, and they just laughed at me!

 

I walked down to the little shop at the bottom of the road to get a sandwich with the builders, who relayed the story to the shop keeper, he looked sad, and said, A young man had commited suicide in the house, he had hung himself from one of the beams in the Attic!

 

--------------------------

 

I know there is something there, something in the spritual world that is real, and I know that others have had similar stories to my own. where the ghost is real, not wishy washy like portrayed on TV.

 

Its easy and safe for the critics to say that there is no proof, no hard evidence, but neither is there proof of God, not scientific anyway, yet I believe in God, nonetheless!

 

As for James Randi, the guy has some credibility, for hes playing safe like all the other critics, as most peoples stories or evidence will be incorrect, or miscontrued, misinterpretated, etc!

 

 

Do people here believe in their star signs, the time that they were born having an influence on our lives, do the planets have any influence on us whatsoever, I wonder what your views are on this out there folks, because I do have some answers and scientific evidence to suggest otherwise!

 

I would be curious to know if anyone believes in people who can contact ghosts, mediums, people who read fortunes etc, is there any truth in it?

 

I know there is alot of rubbish out there, but now and then, something does turn up that has credence!

 

As a bit of a scientist myself, I delve into everything, even religion, but relating to Ghosts, A friend of mine in the states, Michiu Kaku (Author of many books on Astrophysics, theories of everything etc)has something interesting to say about how other universes would appear to us, if only one dimension was changed.

 

It an interesting concept, for it clearly shows why we possibly do not have the scientific information we want on other worlds, wether it be a parallel universe or a supernatural world where ghosts tend to frequent, or maybe Aliens live perhaps.

 

He gives us a scenerio of different worlds meeting each other. Well, world of different dimensions.

 

To make the excercise easy for everyone, we play with dimensions that we can deal with in this little episode, for any dimesions greater than 3, plus time, would be above our understanding in a spatial awareness and logical deducting thought experiment.

 

So we are going to play the three dimensional beings in our own world, but our Alien counterparts, will only less than our three, so we can comprehend their world.

 

We will give them two dimensions, plus time, and we will call these people the flatliners!

 

 

Their world has no height, only lengh and width. our world has length ,width and height! Plus time of course for both entities.

 

Their world is only small too, but we know where it is, for it is only small, so small, that their entire world fits onto a table top!

 

Now, you want to communicate with them, even visually, , there sound that they produce is unique, it only travels in a flat world, lost, so their world appears silent to us.

 

We manged to communicate visually through them sending signals to us, giant signs made in their world, but we can only read with a microscope, but uncannily, they have a lauguage structure, albeit we cannot comprehend.

 

So we decide to show them what we look like be placing our selves into their world. You place your arm through their world, first a finger, then the arm, then your head, but they still cannot see you in your true dimensions, they only see a cross section of you at any instant, only length times breath, the thickness of a finger, the thicknes of the wrist, for their eyes have only the potential to see in 2D!

 

~THeir physical development is in flatland, they cannot see us, or even intelligently comprehend us, ever, no matter what we say to them or show them, for they have no concept of height and as such, cannot see height, understand height, its just alien to them.

 

Their world can easily be in our world, like we can be in someone elses world.

 

Ghosts, God, etc, may be entities in another world, which has 10 or 22 dimensions, dimensions we can discuss, but never comprehend. These entities may, for strange reasons, become apparant to us under certain conditions, or certain people may be able to see in these dimensions because of some physical defect in their vision or something, all I know, that we are still naively trying to understand our world, but we are along way off yet!

 

This could explain UFO,s, Ghosts etc, their world entangling with ours at certain times, places etc.

 

We can see the 2D world, but they cannot see ours!

 

The ghosts, Aliens etc can see our world, but we cannot see theirs!

 

 

While we are on the subject, what religions are people into and why, what faith do thay have to back up what they believe in?

 

 

Regards

 

Mark..

Can anyone help ? I am a student at the University of Sheffield, studying aspects of folklore. I am looking for and would be grateful to receive, any information about personal experience of public outdoor locations which are said to be `haunted`, or have an otherwise strange reputation. I will be particularly interested in your own thoughts and feelings about the place concerned, how you first got to hear of it and what the general local attitude has been about this subject. Examples would be welcome from both past and present experience. Thanks !

Rivelin Valley Road is haunted by a woman hanging from a tree. Cutthroat Bridge near Strines is supposedly haunted by highwaymen, and rumour has it that Sugworth Hall is also haunted by its murdered inhabitants.....
