The Mermaid Inn UK - Haunted and Old

The Mermaid Inn in Rye, Sussex England is 600 years old and was a popular Ale House with sailors in the Middle Ages.

The cellars date back to 1156 and the building was rebuilt in 1420 as the whole village was burnt to the ground by French Raiders on June 22nd 1377.

The Inn has 31 rooms and each one is named after a person from the history of the Inn and Rye.

It has been featured in the MOST HAUNTED TV series. and has had a long list of famous visitors including a few of the royal family.

There is a lady in grey/or white who sits by the fireplace in Room 1, which is called the JAMES ROOM.

Other apparitions are another white lady who walks across a room and stops at the foot of the bed, a man who walks through the bathroom wall and into the main room in another part of the Inn and a woman who is supposed to be the wife of one of the local smugglers back in the 16th Century when Rye was still a port village.

Other reports include bottles smashing in the Elizabethan Chamber room and cold spots in the Kings Room.

The Inn is situated on Rye Street in Rye in Southern England.

The main building dates back to 1420 and further additions were added in the 16th Century,

The Inn would have seen a lot of smuggling in it's heyday and has a history of association with a group of smugglers known as the Hawkhurst Gang who made use of the secret passages underneath the Inn and around the port area to escape the constabulary. (hauntedrooms/uk)

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...
