Man Possessed By Lady

In 2007 I led a group seance in the Knights Hall at the Manor House Hotel, West Auckland.

Five minutes in, the confident, cocky guy next to me went quiet. I asked if he was OK nut got no response, so I asked again and still no response! Nothing.

As I was about to ask him again, he turned to look at me, his face had changed and he was eerily tilted his head to one side and clearly said in a woman’s voice ‘where are the children?’

I just sat looking at him for a few seconds before starting to talk loudly to him, calling his name in attempts to pull him back out of it, after a minute he responded quite shaken by my loudness ‘why are you shouting at me?’ He had no recollection of the whole incident.

Night Duty Nurse

It was around the start of the 90's, summer time, and I was going out with a lass from Lanchester, County Durham. I was staying over her house, which was a new-build on a new estate at the time, built on the site of an old hospital. Her parents were away, so us being young, we dragged the mattress out of her sister’s room and jammed hers and her sister’s mattress onto her bedroom floor. And with doing so we couldn't close the door.

I woke up in the middle of the night totally freezing (remember this was summer time), and I sat up. About a foot off the ground there was what I could only describe as a Florence Nightingale type of nurse. She came out her sister’s room, turned and looked at me then went straight through the bathroom wall. I dived up, for some reason thinking it was my girlfriend's mother back home until I realized that people can't actually disappear into a wall! 

By this time my girlfriend had woke up so I told her what I had just witnessed. She replied ‘oh yeah, the house is haunted’. 

Apparently the house was built on land that used to be a workhouse, also just to top it off, before it got knocked down, it was also used as a mortuary.

“I tell ya, I got that door shut!”

The Black Gate Ghost

I run the Newcastle ghost walks and each you we do a massive Halloween event in the oldest part of Newcastle. We also run a Witches ghost walk along with extreme ghost walks where people can use the Ouija board in graveyards. We have been doing this since 2007 and in that time I have seen many odd things and not just the normal drunk Saturday night drinkers but some really scary stuff.
I have seen a black shadow figure at the black gate many, many times and we have even had staff quite due to the ghostly goings on. In 2010 i started a local paranormal radio show on community radio NE1fm 102.5 with Metro radio’s Chris Felton and we launched on Halloween 2010 live from the most haunted part of Newcastle the Castle Garth.
That night I introduced the guys to some really scary areas where the dead do wander.



On the walks I have heard a crying lady on the Castle steps but upon inspection the wailing sound was disembodied, believed to be that of Catherine Duffy who was murdered on the Castle steps in the 1800s.

I have seen a little girl at the black gate and also an old women was seen by 15 ghost walkers on a murder tour. A lady on the tour first noticed a lady rubbing her hands together, as she looked up so did others and they witnessed a gray haired lady vanish. They described her as wearing a brown wool blanket.

In St Nicholas graveyard we have had ghost footsteps and I have even been pushed off a wall in front of walkers while telling the ghost stories.

I also took this photo at the cathedral during a ghost walk and caught what we think is a ghost man. There is also a ghost photo taken by one of the ghost walkers of a black shadow shape vanishing at the Black Gate.

The Spiritual Vision

We attended a ghost hunt at the end of September at the Castle Keep. My cousin, Paul tried using the scrying mirror. 

Scrying is also called seeing or peeping, it is the practice of looking into a translucent ball or other material with the belief that things can be seen, such as spiritual visions, and less often for purposes of divination or fortune-telling.

Anyway, he is always taking selfies and decided to take one with the mirror facing away from him. There was no one in front of him when the picture was took, and it’s 100% not been edited. Can you see the face in the mirror? Creepy!!

Leazes Park Ghosts

I am originally from London and live in Cramlington. And I am someone who senses and sees spirits and spiritual activity and hears what most people don’t.
I am not a Medium. I’m not an entire believer of that anyway. I’m a 36 year old male Londoner living in the North East who is pretty psychic and gifted.

I have never had so many seeings & happening's with the spirit world as I have in the last year, Newcastle and Cramlington are the places that have the most spiritual activity by far. Newcastle is highly spiritual due to its history and Cramlington due to mining and witchcraft.

Recently I was making my way from Newcastle RVI to Haymarket bus exchange, I had to walk past the gated entrance to Leazes Park en route.
What happened next was amazing. I stopped opposite the gates the other side of the road, I could sense spirits gathering at the gates, orbs aplenty too. Then in my mind I asked or demanded rather to the gathering spirits “Show Yourselves”.
Almost immediately spirits appeared shimmering in & out the gates, crystal clear shadows of moving energy. I had my camera on my phone in my hand, I saw a woman almost hologram-like walk through the smaller gates on the left.
The atmosphere was electric and more and more spirits were answering the calling. The picture I got proves this. I watched for a few minutes and the air was rife with whispers, amazing to see. Eventually I blessed them in my mind and carried on towards Haymarket to get home. I looked over my shoulder once to see the remaining spirits going in and out the gates. I should have stayed there longer as I missed the bus but that’s life here as we know it.

Ghost Face

I was taking a picture of an elastic band ball in someone's house and when I looked back at the photo I'd taken - I could clearly see what look's like a ghost's face in between my friend's legs.

Ghost Captured On Camera - Lady In Red

While I was walking through Bedlington Cemetery going to visit my Dad's grave, I noticed what looked like steam lifting off one of the headstones so I decided to take a photograph so I could show a friend of mine the spooky scene I had witnessed. It wasn't until later on when I looked back at the photo I'd taken that there seem's to be a lady in a red dress. It gave me the chill's knowing I'd been alone in that cemetery!
