Roadside ghosts

Roadside ghosts

 roadside ghosts have been documented and seen  through out history.  In most cases the roadside ghost is a deformed ghost without a face.
 this creepy urban legend started out as a child before transforming into a teenage girl.  When the mother in the car asked the ghost if she is alright, she is revealed to have no face at all.

From spooky children with no eyes to ghostly horsemen, and marching Romans to phantom lorries, stories of ghoulish apparitions on Britain’s roads are legion.

Are these urban legends of spooky shadow men, women and even children just the fevered imaginations of tired motorists, elaborate hoaxes or are genuine paranormal phenomena? This post will be one of the longest I have have ever done on this blog and I hope you all enjoy it! This post may later on become a page! This page and post will mainly be about the experiences others have had which I have found online or have been given by others who have spoken to me.

Here are some people's experiences....

Box carriage

Location: A31 (Surrey) - Hogs Back, Guildford bound. 1 mile Northeast of Tongham junction
Type: Unknown Ghost Type
Date / Time: 08 January 2007, 22:40h, and 1960s (around 03:00h)
Further Comments: on route home in 2007, a driver watched a horse drawn box carriage cross the road around 100 metres in front of him. The witness reported that he could not make out too many details as it was raining hard, though he was able to see a dim lantern towards the front of the carriage. As the driver reached the spot where he had seen the vehicle pass, he realised there was no side road where the coach and horses could have crossed. Another witness in the 1960s spotted a female figure with long hair, wearing a white dress, standing by the roadside. The witness stopped to see if she was lost or needed a lift, but she had vanished. Mentioning the encounter to a work colleague the following day, the colleague described the figure which was encountered and said the area was haunted.

Running Shadow 

Location: Abbotsbury (Dorset) - B3157, between Abbotsbury, Portesham and Chickerell
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: 31 August 2014, 02:00h
Further Comments: A driver hit the brakes as a shadowy figure ran in front of their car. The driver then watched as the figure disappeared, its legs evaporating before reaching the side of the road.

Screaming Girl 

Location: Accrington (Lancashire) - Black Abbey Road
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: This ghostly figure drifts quietly down the road, screaming only if approached. She was burnt to death after having a love affair with one of the monks.

White Dog 

Location: Alfriston (Sussex) - The White Way, road leading from the town towards Seaford
Type: Shuck
Date / Time: Unknown
Further Comments: This creature is reportedly the dog of a young man murdered while out walking during the 1700s - because the pitiful hound sat by the victim's shallow grave, the criminals killed it also. The haunting is said to have ceased after the bodies of dog and owner were discovered when the road was widened.

These experiences above are from this website:

http://www.paranormaldatabase.com/reports/roaddata.php

Check out for more info! 

The first report was posted to their online forum on February 4th, 2015 from a motorist named as  Lisa Fisher, who recounted her experience:

"I was driving towards Bretby Hall in Bretby on Monday around 2pm. There is a lane just off Ashby Road that leads up to the hall. As I turned into the lane I could see a young woman with black hair standing with a bike by the side of the road, about a 100m ahead. As I got closer I could see she was dressed in old fashioned clothes (floral dress and hair net). The bike had a wicker basket and also looked old. She watched me as I passed her. As I got further down the lane I happened to glance in the rear view mirror and saw the woman had disappeared."

Another report was made to the newspaper on February 26th by a motorist named as Janet Fielding, whose account bears striking similarities to the first:

"I was driving down Mount Road (not far from Bretby Hall) towards the Planters garden centre. It was around 4pm and raining quite badly. As I was driving down the road I passed a lady walking by the side of the road.

"She was quite tall and was wearing a floral dress and had her hair in a net. She looked in her early 30s and had black hair. The clothes looked very old fashioned and overall she looked out of place.

"When I passed her she turned her head and stared at me blankly. It was quite unnerving and creepy when she stared at me. I thought nothing of it and continued driving."

Both if these two experiences written above were taken from:

Island Of Dolls

This island has peeked my interest the most when looking at different haunted places when researching this place I have found out that hundreds of photographers and thrill-seekers travel to this mysterious and creepy haunted  Island every year, but to the locals it was never meant to be a tourist attraction and was a rest place where somthing tragic happens to a little girl.

It takes apparently two hours to get there by boat from Mexico. When you get to this island the first thing you see is the nightmarish clearing deep in the woods where thousands of mutilated dolls hang from the trees and hide among the dense branches rotting lonely swaying in the wind.

Why dolls you ask?

Well the  dolls were put there by a Mexican man who believed they would help the troubled ghost of a small girl who died there on the island over 50 years ago an according to the locals and visitors who go there the little girl still haunts the woods to this day.

 The Mexico man Julian Santana Barrera retreated to the woods shortly after she drowned in the canal and he believes her spirit and soul is still running around the woods. Julian claimed he could  also hear her tormented screams and footsteps in the darkness and he just wanted to help guide her way home using the dolls.

In Tribute to the little girl Barrera discovered a doll floating in the canal where she died and hung it from a tree as a mark of respect to this little girl. Barrera has told some of the locals he has heard a little girls voice from the fill he hung from the tree and this is one of the reason he kept on hanging more up to try and communicate with the spirit of the little girl. Some say Julian put the dolls up to protect himself as he feared for his own life he believed somthing other then the spirit of the little girl resided there. However many say it is the little girl who is still wandering through the woods lost. Since Julian Santana had a wonderful garden, the locals brought old dolls in trade for fresh vegetables. And so, on Doll Island grew an amazing collection of thousands of dolls in various stages of disintegration. 

Still after 14 years of his own mysterious death in those exact woods visitors and locals insist they hear whispers in the dead of the night and some say they feel and see the dolls' eyes following them through the trees as they walk by.

Researching a bit more into the history of the island I found out that Julian died of a heart attack in 2001, and a small white cross near the water marks his grave. His cousin Anastasio now lives on the island, running it as a tourist attraction. “The spirit of the little girl is still here,” he says. “It’s important not to remove the dolls.”

At night, he says, they come alive. “They will move their heads and whisper to each other. It’s very spooky, but I have gotten used to it.” - reference Daily mail 

I hope to find some more research on this island as I find it very interesting I hope you enjoyed reading this I wouldn't recommend reading or looking, let alone visiting the island where the pictures were took if your afraid of dolls as this would be your worse nightmare!!

Poveglia island

A Quarantine station for untreatable diseases , every inch of the island used for mass graves for people who suffered there untimely death from the disease known as the black death or as we know it as now the plague, however more recently it is known for being a mental hospital/institution.  The tiny island of Poveglia in venice  has served many unpleasant purposes over the years, and has more history and deaths then anyone could count and this is why it's so understandable for this island to be haunted by many restless souls.  Today it stands empty, a crumbling recollection of abandoned buildings and weeds run riot that used to be an island full of people. This island is situated just two miles from the glittering palaces of the Grand Canal. Urban legends, myths and rumors about Poveglia are very  pervasive as the weeds and the old buildings make an uncanny resemblance to something from a horror movie or story.   As we know if due to historians and other documentation many people were burned and buried there during the black plague that the soil has been measured to be at  50% human ash.  That is why local fishermen and other boat me will only take visitors and or paranormal investigators so far onto the island as a they fear if they do not read lightly the Yb would be haunted by the restless spirits of there ancestors. 

Stories go...
 
According to myths and rumours from the local people they believe a  psychiatrist who ran the mental hospital was a butcher. He also torchered many of the men and women who visited or stayed at the mental hospital. Many people say he eventually when mad himself  from the guilt and threw himself from the island's belltower, only to survive the fall and be strangled by a "ghostly mist" that emerged from the ground. Creepy!
Local people (Venetians)  have tryed to do what they can to tamp down overheated rumors about Poveglia however it's not that easy when famous shows such as ghost adventures and other popular paranormal investigating programs have experienced and documented some of the worse and at the same time beat experiences ever caught on film. The local people deny being frightened of the place (however we know that isn't exactly true). They also tend not to mention the plague pits or mental hospitals when being put into magazines for tourists to see.

Although it's an abandoned place it's rotting buildings and terrible history still make the island so mysterious and interesting because they still don't do tours for tourists or others without a good reason   health and safety of course.

The Roman's!....

According to legend, during Roman times it was used to isolate thousands of plague victims, and during the three occasions when the Black Death spread through Europe, the island was effectively used as a lazaretto and plague pit – it was considered an efficient way of keeping the infected people separated from the healthy. According to this version, over 160,000 people died on the island throughout its history.”

Some facts! You might not know!

-The island first came to be documented in 421 AD, when people from Padua and Este fled there to save themselves and there family's but also to escape the barbaric invasions. In the 9th century the island started to be intensely populated, and began to get over populated which led to the increase of black plague victims.  In the following centuries its importance grew steadily and became one of Venice's best place to live during that time, until it was governed by a dedicated
Podestà.”
- In 1777 the island came under the jurisdiction of the Magistrato alla Sanità (Public Health Office), and the island was a check point for all goods and people coming to and going from Venice by ship.

- In the year 1793, there were several cases of the plague on two ships, and consequently the island was transformed into a temporary confinement  and recovery station for the ill (Lazzaretto); this role became permanent in 1805, under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte.

-.Napoleon Bonaparte also had the old church of San Vitale destroyed (The old bell tower is one of the first things you see as you past the island)  than shortly after the old bell tower was converted into a lighthouse to help fisherman.

Most of you either have heard of ghost adventures or are fans of there program. The Ghost Adventures Crew are one of the only lucky paranormal teams who have manged to get permission to visit the island. I've watched this episode and find they have caught some of the best paranormal evidence I have ever seen.  Their episode on Poveglia island where the crew  basically stranded themselves there for 24 hours with out help.  I must say this episode is one of the only ones that has fully creeped me out to the maximum. The episode is full of perceived curses, apparitions, creepy music, weird energy, inexplicable equipment malfunctions, and off-the-charts ghost monitors. The crew had to even cut off part of the video due to the fact Zac might have been under some sort of possession. These Ghost Adventures Crew  trued there best to speak in  Italian to the ghosts who linger restlessly in the hall ways of the old buildings they asked questions like “are you a murderer?” and seemed to get responses from the dark abyss. Mysterious bangs, audible footsteps, disembodied voices and strange orbs are all captured on video and audio. As with most episodes of Ghost Adventures, people bashed the validity of their haunted claims. We’ll admit this shit looks scary but most things illuminated only by the green of a night-vision camera usually are. I will put the link below for this episode of Ghost Adventures!

Mermaids and mermans

Mermaids and Merman's

With nearly three-quarters of the Earth covered by water, it's not very hard to believe there maybe somthing other then sea animals and other critters.   centuries ago, the oceans were believed to contain many mysterious creatures, including sea serpents and mermaids. Merfolk (mermaids and mermen) are, of course, only the marine version of half-human, half-animal legends that have captured humans  imagination for a long long time.

Woundering what the different meanings to Mermaid
In Old English, “mer” means “sea,” and “maid” simply meant woman. Mermaids are therefore “women of the sea” Following this line of etymological logic, a “mer” man (merman) would be a “man of the sea.” Both names make perfect sense and describe their natural habitat simply and to the point.  Mermaids and mermen are fish-like people who swim through the oceans and these sea creatures are normally seen

Now we've seen mermaids and mermen in films, documentaries and even in festivals however where does the true legend come from?

Ancient Syrian (~ 1000 BC)

The locals believed there was a goddess who went by the name of Artargatis. She was one of the goddesses of fertility women in particular spread the word of this beautiful goddess and eventually her cult increased in size and crossed over to Greece and Rome. However she spent just known for fertility she was also associated with water (especially lakes) and fish. Often depicted in mermaid form, Atargatis is guessed to be the “original” mermaid. Legend that has been passed down centuries however there are many different stories which surround Atargatis. The legends that surrounds this goddess is that she dove into a lake to become a fish, but only her bottom half was transformed.

Before the mermaid was seen or even heard of the merman was there way before the legend of a beautiful mermaid sat on the rocks brushing her hair and singing a sweet melody. The man who this legend is based on the Babylonian god Oannes predates the Syrian mermaid Atargatis by several thousand years. The legend goes that he had both a fish body and a human body. His human form was beneath his fish form, which allowed him to live among men on land as well as in the sea.

However there are all these legends about beautiful hansom men and women of the sea but there is also legends on how mermaids and merman's are described as monstrous and ugly, they are more usually very beautiful. Above the waist they appear as a lovely young woman, whilst from the waist down, they are like a fish with fins and a spreading tail.
 
There are some say there are different types of mermaids and merman here is an idea of some of them.
Some of these creatures live in lakes and rivers. In Slavic mythology there are the Rusalki, these are spirits of young women who have met their fate through drowning or even worse or more painful deaths that involve water. They appear in the form of beautiful fish-women or mermaids. They have lovely hair, fine features but sad fathomless eyes which tell their tragic tale. They entrance young men, taking them to the river floor to live with them.

In British folklore these creatures are bringers of bad fortune, capable of causing storms and killing humans.

One of the bad things that these mermaids are accused of include telling sailors their ship is doomed and enchanting sailors and causing shipwrecks. Seeing a mermaid is a sure sign of a violent storm to come. In other stories, however in other stories they deliberately drag people down in the water and squeeze the life out of drowning men. They also take men down to their underwater kingdoms to marry them.

However on occasions, mermaids can also bring good fortune and luck by giving humans cures or granting them wishes. In some tales and stories, they even marry and live with humans. For example, the Merrow of Ireland and Scotland.

These mermaids are beautiful, gentle, modest and kind. They wear a red cap and, if this is captured and hidden from them, they will shed their skins and stay on land. However, most times they eventually retrieve the cap and return to the sea. Doesn't this remind you of a very famous Disney movie?
They also lure young men to follow them beneath the waves. Here they live in an enchanted state. Merrow music is often heard coming from beneath the waves (however not played by sea creatures and crabs)

I hope you enjoyed this urban legend I will probably do a more detailed version later on about the stories from the past and also the the experiences of others who have seen or heard the beautiful or devastatingly

ugly creatures of the deep blue sea!

Beaulieu, Hampshire

While you’re more likely to come face to face with a Silver Ghost from the main museum  one of the most popular places in Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum, is Is haunted house which offers great stories from the staff who some of those have heard seen and even experienced a supernatural encounter.

In beaulie there have been several sightings of shadow figures, ghostly monks and orbs. In the village over the years. People have also heard mysterious Gregorian chanting and caught the smell of incense like such that come from and are used in old rituals.

The main House is also said to be haunted by one of Lord Montagu’s ancestors, Countess Isabella, she died in 1786. The Cistercian Abbey at Beaulieu – the biggest in the UK – was built in 1204 after King John made a gift of land to the monks.

According to the urban legend, he was driven to make the gesture of giving over the land to months after having a terrifying nightmare in which he was beaten and tortured by a group of monks, who were angered by his oppression of their community.

The mystery of the lady in blue

Beaulie  has long been told around Hampshire as one of the most haunted places out there by many of the locals.

a mysterious Lady in Blue has been caught on camera at Beaulie.
She appeared at Palace House, ancestral home of Lord Montagu, after visitors and most of the staff had left for the day.
A member of staff had just bought a new mobile phone and decided to test the camera by taking pictures of the historic building.

According to Hannah

“It wasn’t a frightening experience – quite the opposite – but if I’d seen a face I’d probably have dropped my phone and run.”

The lady blue seemed to have many links to one of the past inhabitants Countess Isabella. As she is seen wearing a gown or a similar dress to ones seen in the paintings which are hung around the house.

However this is as we know not the only haunted place in beaulie!

An ancient building called The Domus – used to host the annual estate dinner and other functions is said to be haunted by Brother Augustus.

The Rev Robert Frazer Powles, who died in 1939, claimed to know all the ghostly monks by name and even held a candlelit Mass on Christmas Eve for his phantom friends.

Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, was interested in spiritualism and once held a séance at Palace House....interesting!

Waverly Hills Sanatorium.

We all know the name Waverly Hills Sanatorium when it comes to haunted instutions this one's probably the place you want to be or go to when doing an investigation due to the fact it's known as one of the most haunted locations in America.

Let's start off with some basic history of the building....

During the 1800s and early 1900s America was overthrown by a deadly disease known by many as the “white death” or what it's called today as tuberculosis. This terrifyingly painful contagious plague, had no cure. This monstrous disease claimed entire families and sometimes entire towns. In the 1900s Louisville, Kentucky had one of the highest death tolls due to tuberculosis in America.
Of course towns  Built on low, swampland, this location was the perfect breeding ground for disease. in 1910, a hospital was finally built on windswept hill in southern Jefferson County that had been built and made to combat and stop the spread of the horrific disease. The hospital quickly became overcrowded and with help from the town by them giving  donations of money and land, a new hospital was started in 1924. 

Room 502

We know many shows have visited room 502 and they claim they have found evidence to prove this room is haunted. (“Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters Academy and Paranormal Challenge” have all investigated the sanatorium. But YouTube has many paranormal hunting teams, with and without their own reality TV series, investigating Waverly Hills. There is a long waiting list for tour reservations, including people who come, not to hunt ghosts, but to admire the massive and magnificent Gothic architecture.)
One urban legend of room 502 is about a nurse who hung herself in the room after becoming pregnant without being married. The story is very famous and is partly true but indications show that it did not happen in Waverly Hills it happens in another hospital.
However there's is Another newer urban legend about room 502 that has been circling the internet.  This is about a homeless man that was murdered by a gang in the room. Some accounts say that the man was killed and used in a satanic ritual while others suggest that he was the victim of a drug related gang. However if it had something to do with satanic rituals I can understand how this room can be haunted due to the fact this man had a horrendous death.

The death chute

There are also many urban legends about the "body chute" or the "death tunnel". This was a tunnel built to transport supplies to the facilities in the harsh winter. Since there were many deaths because of tuberculosis, the bodies of dead people were moved through the tunnel in order for other patients and other staff of the hospital not to see them as it would cause panic and the nurses and staff of the hospital didn't need this on top of the level of patients rising every day due to the lack of staff they had at the sanatorium.

However some urban legends say that the bodies were simply thrown down the tunnel and let to slide down to the bottom with out any care for them at all after all to many of the staff they had to much to do and the bodies were just seen as soulless vessles.
Although it is true that the tunnel was used to transport the bodies of dead patients, there is evidence to say they were not just thrown down as investigators and historians have seen carts and winches used to move the remains of the dead patients. Researchers and investigators have also found evidence that the tunnel was initially built as a big steam vent for the boilerrooms located at the bottom of the hill. This was used to provide heat to the patients of the hospital.  The tunnel was also used by hospital staffas an alternative way to go up or down the hospital during the winter as it was a quicker way into The sanatorium at this time due to the fact the hospital was over crowded by patients.

Many people claim that over nine thousand deaths occurred at the Sanatorium.

"According to Assistant Medical Director Dr. J. Frank W. Stewart, the highest number of deaths in a single year at Waverly Hills was 152. Stewart wrote that the worst time for deaths was at the end of the Second World War when troops were returning from overseas with very advanced tuberculosis cases.[24] Some independent researchers suggest that since 162 people died at Waverly Hills in 1945, the highest total number of deaths possible over 50 years was approximately 8,212.[25]"

Another story/urban legend which comes from the sanatorium involve ghosts of nurses or patients who were supposedly in the hospital working or helping patients. There is one urban legend  about a nurse who haunts the first floor. The nurse apparently tried to kill herself by slitting her wrists. She then ran out of the building, screaming and bleeding out the lobby and then she died at the front of the building due to loss of blood. Some say she couldn't handle working in the hospital any more due to not being able to help anyone and others believe she lost someone dear to her.  Researchers and investigators who have looked into the history in detail have found out that there was a real case of a nurse who tried to kill herself in the hospital, however she did not run through the lobby while bleeding and she did not die.

Ghost Adventures

As you all know I'm a huge fan of the Ghost Adventures TV show. The GACREW inspired me to do what I'm doing now. I've been watching there show from the start and I can't believe they are at the end of another amazing season (12) they have caught some amazing evidence on there journey's and even though we're not there with them I'm really glad I get to see what they capture. Hope everyone who is interested in ghost adventures is watching the finale tonight or tomorrow depending on time differences  at the Haunted Museum which yes! is the same place Zac did the TV show Deadly possessions.

Campfire experience

Well as many of you know who follow both the seekers of the paranormal and my personal twitter account I went away to @Avontyrell for three days and on the first night we stayed in the huts we decided to (Leon, Sam, I and the team leaders) create a campfire to roast marshmallows and also to drink hot chocolate near to keep us all warm while we were outside. While we were sat outside looking at the fire having a good time I felt a very odd feeling and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. So I began to take pictures of the fire and around to see if anything would show up and to my surprise while looking back at the photos I took on my phone I saw something creepy. At first I thought due to the fire it's just trickery of the eye you know things you see in the fire. Almost like the game I used to play when I was a child where you look at the clouds and make out shapes and pictures you see. Here are a couple of the ones I took that look almost like something that maybe something or just the trickery of the eye...

The picture on the left looks almost like a phoenix and on the right a hand coming out of the flames.

Like I said again I almost thought I was seeing things until I realised I wasn't looking closely at the pictures enough once I got home I picked up a magnifying glass and looked in detail into the photos and something incredibly creep caught my eye..A face.

as you can see in the first photo below the face is almost floating into place.

however in the second photo you can clearly see the face looking directly at the camera. the odd thing is the face is unusually big and this photo has not been edited or stretched apart from the blue circle. In my eyes the face almost looks like a clown with its devilish big green and huge black eyes. It was a shame i never did any Evps at the time as I didn't even know i took such amazing evidence on my phone.

but again this is not the only evidence I caught on camera during this amazing camp fire. just after these photos were taken also the first image almost looks like a skull coming out of the flames. maybe I've seen to many horror movies but again something just doesn't add up below I enlarged the image so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

here are another two taken after the one above to me this looks almost like the KKK clothing/masks they used to wear, however again could be trickery of the eyes. it could almost look like a plague mask one warn by doctors.  again I have enlarged this photo.

here's another photo taken from the camp fire. looking closely at the photos you can almost make out horns and a face quite clearly the first thought that came to mind was an animal such as a goat because of the horns however looking in more detail the face looks more monster then it does human or animal and that's when i thought about it looking more like Satan...just a theory I'm not saying I captured Satan just in my eyes and a few of the teams it does look similar to some of the photos you see on the internet such like the one below.

Looking through the photos trying to figure out while sat around the campfire what was trickery of the eye and what wasn't was hard as I always felt I was being watched by something behind me that wasn't there it almost felt like the entity that I caught I the photo was trying to distract me from looking in detail at the photos. but anyway the last photo was the one which pushed me over the edge in believing the paranormal entity's I had captured that evening were real and not trickery was this picture. many people may believe it to be embers from the fire however during the 3 hours of this investigation there were never any embers that flew out from the fire on camera or off.

what do you think of this photo?

to me and the team they look like eyes.

just after i took these pictures i sent them to another paranormal investigation team for a second opinion on what i captured and here is the screen shots of what they said.

Devils tree

What is the devils tree?

https://youtu.be/ZuDDVP6HcNw

A devils tree is a Solid Oak tree which stands on its own with nothing else around it's base or it's surrounding area. The oak trees are usually not all dead but there are some dead limbs and branches which still cling onto the tree. There are countless cases of the Devils trees all around the world people believe the trees are cursed and whenever locals or visitors offend, damage or disrespect the trees the restless souls seem to retaliate the living. 

The Devil Tree in Oak Hammock Park, Port Saint Lucie, FL

OK so the first version of this urban legend supposedly started up years ago by locals, two girls were raped and hung at this tree. The murder was your average man however people believe he was also a police man, or so many thought. After the deaths of the girls, he is said to have gone back to the girls’ corpses and had sex with them several times.

Where the girls bodies were buried bus another story in itself some believe the girls bodies were buried near the tree, others believe the girls bodies were found in the canal near the park by some hitch hikers. But the killer was never found.

The tree was insisted to be cut down, but in each case the chainsaw would break or the teeth of the chainsaw would snap off and once again the tree would stand sting and  not be able to be cut down.  There are even reports of the tree not being able to burn (which is creepy) I'm surprised they never called the tree the immortal trees rather then the Devils Tree. If you were interested in looking at this particular devils tree you can see where someone had tried and failed to burn it.

People who visit these woods or this area of Port St. Lucie, have claimed to have heard the girls’ screams and seen their spirits roam. Sometimes, however if you go at night you will see people chanting and doing rituals around the tree some say while you are around this area you can hear the snap of a rope near the tree. Maybe the rituals that have been happening near the tree have made the spirits of the two girls restless.

New Jersey Devil tree

evidence that many attempts had been made over the years to fell the unholy oak, but all have failed. The tree stands all alone in the middle of a large field off Mountain Road.  Its trunk has been severely scared by axes and chain saws, some wounds appearing to be quite old.  Why no one has yet been successful in toppling the timber we cannot say for sure. Nor do we know what has become of those who have tried.

Devil’s Tree is a KKK Hangout

There is a very evil truth to the legend of the Devil’s Tree.  At one time, Bernards Township was one of the central main headquarters of the KKK in New Jersey – they held many demonstrations in the town and held tons of meetings throughout the hills.  KKK policy, often they would lynch local African-Americans to set an example, not only to other African-Americans, but also as an example of their principles and resolve.

The Devil’s Tree was more secluded in those times before the developments spread across the rural countryside like a blight.  It stood in a very isolated area of woods and fields, far from the prying eyes of the police.  The energy around the tree comes from the souls of dead men and women who were killed by this vile organization.  If you look at the tree you can see the left most branch extends almost to the ground.  This was the hanging branch.  creepy but true!

"To freak ourselves out, sometimes my friends and I would drive down the road at night telling ghost stories. When the moon is a full red harvest moon, and the wind is blowing just right, it looks like there might be bodies hanging from the branch, slowly swaying in the breeze.”  –Rob S."

Who knows if this legend is true but there have been many eye witnesses around the world who have experienced some sort of paranormal activity from this tree! Which is incredible-http://weirdnj.com/stories/devils-tree/

The first Nostradamus

The first Nostradamus

The first Nostradamus was a man called Michel de Nostredame, he was French and he predicted the great plague, one of his descendants predicted Adolf Hitler and ISIS, their are several ways to describe how they " see "

what is heralded?  these days it is known as Astrological Interpretation, reading the stars basically the Nostradamus line have mastered this process, or it could be said that they simply pay attention to current climates and then put out a prophecy which then it becomes true though public belief, or if someone has a crystal ball. all of Michel's predictions were published by the way and they only consist of four lines, it's called a quatrain, 4 being a very ominous number gives rise to the belief that they are seeing into the future. Incredible right?

Bit more about him and his works....

By 1554, Nostradamus' visions had become an integral part of his works in the almanacs, and he decided to channel all his energies into a massive opus he calls Centuries. He planned to write 10 volumes, which would contain 100 predictions forecasting the next 2,000 years. In 1555 he publishedLes Prophesies, a collection of his major, long-term predictions. Possibly feeling vulnerable to religious persecution, he devised a method of obscuring the prophecies' meanings by using quatrains—rhymed four-line verses and he translated them into other languages such as Greek, Italian, Latin, and Provencal, a dialect of Southern France. Oddly enough, Nostradamus enjoyed a good relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. It is believed he never faced prosecution for heresy by the Inquisition because he didn't extend his writings to the practice of magic.

Nostradamus ran into some controversy with his predictions, as some thought he was a servant of the devil and he sold his soul for the price of his gift. Others said he was fake or insane and should be put into a hospital.  However, many more believed the prophecies were spiritually inspired and he had actually experienced what he had seen. He became famous and in demand by many of Europe's elite. Catherine de Medici, the wife of King Henri II of France, was one of Nostradamus' greatest admirers. After reading his almanacs of 1555, where he hinted at unnamed threats to her family, she summoned him to Paris to explain and draw up horoscopes for her children. A few years later, she made him Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary to King Henri's court. In 1556, while serving in this capacity Nostradamus also explained another prophecy from Centuries I, which was assumed to refer to King Henri. The prophecy told of a "young lion" who would overcome an older one on the field of battle. The young lion would pierce the eye (stab the man).of the older one and he would die a cruel and untimely death. Nostradamus after experiencing something again  warned the king he should avoid ceremonial jousting. Three years later, when King Henri refused to not play jousting he  was 41 years old and he died in a jousting match when a lance from this opponent pierced the king's visor and entered his head behind the eye deep into his brain and skull causing his death. He held on to life for 10 agonizing days before finally dying of infection...

Nostradamus claimed to base his published predictions on judicial astrology (reading the stars)  the art of forecasting future events by calculation of the planets and stellar bodies in relationship to the earth. His sources include passages from classical historians like Plutarch as well as medieval chroniclers from whom he seems to have borrowed liberally. However although all his predictions seem incredible and accurate many if his works lack the dates so some people believe he could have just made things up and guessed what he had experienced. However In fact, many scholars believe he paraphrased ancient end-of-the-world prophecies (mainly from the Bible) and then through astrological readings of the past, projected these events into the future. There's also evidence not everyone was enamored with Nostradamus' predictions. He was criticized by professional astrologers of the day for incompetence and assuming that comparative horoscopy (the comparison of future planetary configurations with those accompanying known past events) could predict the future.
Although most of his predictions are mainly abut floods, disastseda, earth quakes and some important historical events. Before he passed away he told his before he died You will not fine me alive at sunrise." The next morning he was reportedly found dead lying on the floor next to his bed.

I know this isn't really an urban legend or paranormal but it's an incredible part of history which is linked to psychic abilities.

Updates!

Just to keep everyone updated with the blog over the next 8 or so weeks I will be uploading at least twice maybe three times a week mainly on Tuesdays and Sunday's. There is also a new team member his name is Sam Mitchell he will be researching deeper into some of the paranormal, urban legends and theories we upload! I hope you give him a warm welcome!

The Ghost from Bendlem

The Ghosts from Bedlam

Many people today use the word “Bedlam” which in most cases is defined as something that is out of control, chaotic, loud and noisy. The word Bedlam came from London's very first insane asylum. This hospital was called  Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlehem. This hospital was established in London in 1247 as a hospice. By the time this institution moved to its first new location in 1337, it became known as Bethlem Hospital, or “Bedlam” for short.

By the early 1400s Bedlam started to admit patients that had mental distress or illness, they were known at the time as “lunatics”.  One report of the condition these patients endured stated, “manacles, locked chains, and stocks were used as restraints.” One inspection revealed that violent patients were chained to the wall, whipped and dunked in water when they became agitated. That's horrendous right?

“ In 1598, the house was reported so loathsome and so fifthly kept, as not to be fit to be entered; and the inmates were termed prisoners.”

“Some patients were allowed out of the hospital during the day, licensed to beg on the streets of London.”

After the Great Fire in London this hospital was moved just down the road to Moorfields in 1676. This building was the first constructed to specifically accommodate the insane or the mentally ill.

the outside of this building looked modern and artistic. There was even two imposing gargoyles statues that stood at its entrance representing the two kinds of madness, “rave” and “melancholic”. Despite appearances, conditions and the treatment of patients still remained deplorable. One disturbing practice during this time was the public for the price of an admission could “view the lunatics”. (Absolutely terrible)

“The practice of showing the patients, like wild beasts, was abolished in 1770, but the abolition was unaccompanied by any other improvement in their treatment.”

After reports surfaced about the ill treatment of its patients the hospital was moved for a third time and it's last. Now at this time  the Imperial War Museum is housed in what was this third hospital’s admission building. The rest of the wards and buildings have been demolished. The fourth and final location for the hospital is used for the Bethem Royal Hospital. This facility is now a modern psychiatric center.

The Liverpool Street Underground Station was opened in February of 1874 on the site of the original Bedlem Hospital. Former patients are very well known to haunt this busy section of the London Underground.

"One incredible  sighting happened in the summer of 2000. A Line Controller spotted something strange on the CCTV camera that he was monitoring that showed the Liverpool Station. It was 2:00 am in the morning and the station was closed for the night. This witness saw a figure wearing white overalls in an eastbound tunnel. He became concerned since he knew no contractors worked the station this late at night. He called his Station Supervisor to report what he was seeing on the screen.

The Supervisor went to investigate. The Line Controller watched as his Supervisor stood nearby the mysterious figure. So he was confused when his Supervisor called to say he had not seen any figure. The Line Controller told his boss that the figure had stood so close to him that he could have reached out and touched it. Hearing this the Supervisor continued to search for the figure.

Again the Line Controller saw the figure walk right passed his boss on his screen, but again his boss did not see the figure. The Supervisor finally giving up went to leave the station but as he did so he spotted white overalls placed on a bench that he had passed before. He stated that they could not have been placed there without him seeing who did it.

Even before the Liverpool Station was built the area where the hospital stood was considered haunted. Between 1750 and 1812 many witnesses reported hearing a female voice crying and screaming. It is believed that this is a former patient from Bedlam.

Rebecca Griffins was buried in the area. While alive she always frantically clutched a coin in her hand. Witnesses state they hear her asking where her ha' penny is."

Creepy right!

Disability history of the hospital!
