Beaulieu Abbey Ghosts

One of us was slightly time challenged and found herself awake very early this morning ( it wasn't me) and could not wait until I woke up to go have a hot breakfast.

We were not disappointed - it was a full hot breakfast with the works after which cameras were loaded up and we drove into Guildford so I could go to a TK MAXX and buy some summer PJ's and not boil nor expose my very saggy bottom to Anne any longer.

Unfortunately, we struck a Farmer's Market in the town (auww sad...said no one ever) and took in the free offerings of tastings and everything looked beautiful and fresh and delicious.

I got my PJ's and we sat inside the local graveyard with a hot coffee and a small pastry of cream cheese and berries.

Finally my vertigo was starting to lift and it was an awesome feeling getting into the car and going for a drive.

I had the bright idea to head to Beaulieu, which is in the New Forest area, as that was our destination for the night anyway, to see if we could go to an Abbey there that looked interesting.

The Abbey is 800 years old and was founded by King John in the 13th Century before being destroyed by King Henry the Eighth in 1538.

Apparently you can do a paranormal investigation of the Abbey with the local ghost hunting team!

"Over the years there have been numerous ghostly sightings, stories and legends reported on the Beaulieu Estate.

Numerous paranormal investigators have conducted research at the abbey. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, famously held a séance in the Montagu ancestral home of Palace House and allegedly made contact with a ghost.

Other sightings have included a ‘blue’ or ‘grey’ lady walking through walls and making sounds in the private apartments of Palace House, believed to be Isabella, Countess Beaulieu, who died in 1786. In 2013, a Palace House guide took a ghostly picture of a ‘Lady in Blue’ while testing the camera on her new phone in the Lower Drawing Room."

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens . Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.

The South Shields Poltergeist: When a Haunting Turns Hostile

In 2006, the town of South Shields in Tyne and Wear, England, became the unlikely setting for one of the most aggressive and bizarre hauntings ever reported in the UK. This was not a centuries-old legend passed down in whispers. This was recent, documented, and witnessed by multiple people — including seasoned paranormal investigators. The events that took place in this modest red-brick terraced house defied logic, challenged belief systems, and terrified everyone involved. A Normal Family… Until It Wasn’t The haunting began quietly — as these things often do. The couple at the center of the story, who have remained largely anonymous and are referred to by pseudonyms Marc and Marianne, lived in the home with their young son, just three years old at the time. Their lives were ordinary — until one night in December 2005, things began to unravel. It started with a simple but unnerving incident: a child’s rocking horse was found inexplicably moved across the room. At first, Marc and M...

Show me the GHOST!

I was asked an interesting question last night during my "Haunted Tales of Newcastle", ghost walk. Mind you, it hasn't been the first time this question has been asked. I hear it often. It will come from people who have never had their own experience and are genuinely interested in the paranormal and have moved on from what they see in the movies. The question? How DO people see ghosts? Or maybe it's better to say - in what forms do they appear to people? Photo:Pinterest That might sound funny to you, but for those that have never had an experience, they have no real conceptual idea of how it happens. Is it like it is shown in the movies? Do they come out in their long white 1800's nighties with hair covering their faces? Do they move or stand...
