Bramley Hall - Anyone got any ghost stories?

[Merlina 10]

Can't understand why this thread has been resurrected (pardon the pun) ......it was started in 2004!

 

And I've had my own encounters with ghosts too.....but not a Bramley Hall

Sorry to disagree with you, but I believe they are, having some ghostly experiences myself. I used to live in a Georgian house on Sharrow Lane and there was definitely something in the cellar there. We had a collie dog called Peggy at the time and she would under no circumstances go down there. And I know that the house I lived in on the Gleadless Valley estate was haunted by the benign spirit of the old lady who used to live there in the seventies. And I used to do voluntary work in the early nineties at the Sheffield Fire Museum So ghosts are real! Don't know about Bramley hall though, never been there.

 

Are you totally bonkers???

....in this case , what does it matter how old the post is , as Bramley Hall dates back to around 1200 , so posts over a FEW years old on here asking for any history , surely cant be a problem !? I am sure any future residents will post when they need info!

Since my last posting, I visited Shibden Hall, a very old house near Halifax. The man who was giving us a guided tour explained that such old and grand homes often had concealed doors and passages both inside the house and under the garden so that the indoor servants and gardeners could go about their work without their comings and goings disturbing the owners and their vistors. Could this account for some of these ghost stories?

No, please disagree all you like weather you disagre or not has no bearing on what I believe only what evidence you present. So let us evaluate the 'evidence' you have presented. After reading your comment, I have concluded that your dog not down into the basement is not strange, my dog doesn't go into my attic, it has no reason to so does that mean my attic? Isen't it more probable that your dog doesn't want to go down there because it has no reason to, or prehaps it doesn't like the smell of the room, have you even considered any of these possibilities? As for the other stuff, well it's not even worthy of evaluation because it isen't evidence, just assertion. Unless you have a valid proof I suggest you stop disagreeing and start looking for some, because at this point in time, you have an irrational belief.

 

Actually I have logical proof against the existence of ghosts; how much does a ghost weigh? If you say nothing then how does gravity affect it? If gravity doesn't affect it as soon as it manifests it will fly off the surface of the earth as fast as the earth is moving relative to space (very fast) If you answer (Insert mass here) The ghost effects reality in a way that is testable and thus you only need a pair of weighing scales to detect it. Unless you have another method of detecting ghosts then please sate your proof.

Since it cannot be proven one way or the other it would seem that neither party for or against can be right or wrong.

Science has an uncanny knack of settling on a truth that scientists fabricate themselves as they search for answers. It's a world where ifs and maybes are accepted as certainty until such time as another theorist happens by and converts us to another way of thinking and like this thread, the argument will continue for years.

No... The people who believe in ghosts are wrong because they have no empirical evidence for their beliefs, thus they are wrong to accept this crap as true. You are also wrong on science, scientists don't make up stuff they make hypothesis which MUST be validated by testable evidence that other people have to also validate (peer review) before they are accepted as theories.

 

Basically we are arguing over the non existence of something, and weather something can be negatively proven.

Quite a while ago, I did a property portrait of Bramley Hall, handsworth, as an artist like you do. I must say, there was a misty image on one of the original photo's taken early 90's. Not sure what one would classify as a ghost but It's certainly a beautiful old building and so what if it has spirits, just adds to the character if you ask me. Xxxx

Palaentologists are continually updating widely believed theories, hypothesis call them what you like. Isn't the only definite science something that can be proven mathematically. Anything else is speculation, conjecture. Its a concensus that 'ghosts' do not exist because there is no documented evidence or proven, witnessed, validated proof that they do. They haven't been seen therefore they don't exist isn't an argument its only a disbelief that they can because so far there is no way to prove that they do. At best there is no reason to believe that they do because it offers nothing to be dead yet remain in some ethereal form on this plain but until such time as its proven inconclusively that they do or do not then it remains a possibility.
