Ghosts and haunted buildings.
Hello everyone! I am doing some research on ghosts in Lancashire and I am wondering if anyone here can share ghost stories from Accrington or let me know of possible haunted buildings. Anything will be appreciated. Also does anyone remember about 10 years ago on Radio Lancashire there used to be a local guy reading out local ghost stories some of which he investigated. I think it used to be on about 9 o clock pm. Does anyone know his name?

Re: Ghosts and haunted buildings.
Not a ghost story, but does anyone remember when they pulled down the Ambulance Drill Hall.?
They thought they'd found some remains? Turned out it was the skeleton used by St John Ambulance! stupid or what! ;D

Re: Ghosts and haunted buildings.
KestrelX has just reminded me of a story I heard about the Dunkenhalgh that my old english teacher once told. She once worked there and said that it was haunted by a girl (servant girl) who had killed herself there after becoming pregnant by a 'well to do' man, who had spurned her and told her to leave the house. She apparently drowned herself??
I find the whole ghost thing really interesting. I would love to do one of those ghost hunts and spend a night in a 'supposed' haunted location. Sort of like that programme 'Most Haunted'. Good show if you have seen it.

Re: Ghosts and haunted buildings.
I haven't read his autobiography but I think he is one of the best psychic mediums in a long time. Of course there are people out there that will say he is false and it is all an act but I do believe what he says in genuinely true. Just hope the new series starts soon.

Re: Ghosts and haunted buildings.
I am sorry but Most Haunted is the best comedy programme going. That Derek chap is such a plonker. :
..my husband and I just sit there laughing at him the whole way through  . Just listen to him the next time he is trying to give a name, he changes his mind about half a dozen times ???until he gets a positive answer from the presenter. Laughing at him and seeing the eyes on that woman (forgot her name for now) are the only things worth tuning in for.I am not a sekptic I just think that that program stinks!! |

Re: Ghosts and haunted buildings.
If you are genuinely interested in ghosts then try ou this site. It is amazing.
You will need to have your volume up loud to hear. It takes a little while so bear with it. Apparently the owners of this house had been seeing images and hearing voices for quite a while. They did some research and found that a lady once lived in the house who lost her husband during the civil war. Legend says that she used to sit at the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one returning home. He never came! So, they say she still waits. They caught this photo (using digital imaging and sound) of what they claim to be her. This one is wild and a little spooky once you find the ghost in the picture. It took me about 20 seconds to find it, but when you do, it just stands out. To save you some time, concentrate around the table and sort of towards the right window. Also, if you have volume, turn it up as you can hear some faint murmuring after a while, which they say is the ghost talking. Wierd huh!!!!..keep looking you WILL find it. http://home.attbi.com/~n9ivo/whatswrong.swf |
