We always know better than our parents until we realise too late that we don't. Luckily I have not heard of any other local girls being followed like this.

No wonder you were scared Ashley. I bet you haven't done that again since.

Not to downplay any of the other stories, especially not the cult in the woods one, but that's true horror right there.
Glad you escaped Ashley. And woman to woman I think we're all been there: thinking it's always going to be fine, and I always have gone out on my own as well, but there sadly some real nasty and creepy people out there. I've been lucky. I could just of easily not have been. It's a sobering thought. And about my other story, it'll probably seem just lame and unbelievable next to that, but if you really want to read it I'll write it out sometime this week.

We all should be wary if we have to go out alone late at night. It's not a female specific thing. There's some nasty pieces of work out there. Been a while now (fortunately) but we've had a few knife crime incidents in my town before. Apparently not motivated by anything that opportunity knocking.

Have any of you ever watched any of the animated alledgedly true scary stories on YouTube? There are several pages that make them. Have to take the paranormal ones with a grain of salt but there's many just involving real people and they are really freaky to think about. |

I've always been on the fence when it comes to the Paranormal and probably will be until something happens to me. I've always been interested in it though and watched many programmes and read numerous books on it. I'm currently reading the book in the picture below about Borley Rectory that I got for Christmas. It was considered the most haunted house in England, the ghost of a num being the most famous of its ghosts. It burn't down in the late 30's but ghostly activity has still been reported since. There was a good film released a couple of years ago, a sort of docu-drama I guess you'd call it which was very good and worth watching.
I think Borley is probably not too far away from your neck of the woods Adam?  |

Very close by to me, driven through the village many times. The local church is also allegedly haunted.
The ghostly nun of the area was allegedly seen by noted paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, whose accounts are the inspiration for The Conjuring universe movies. Although the action was moved to Romania the Borley nun is said to be the source of Valak the demon nun in that franchise.

Yes, there's plenty about the church in the book as well. Probably not so much these days but I can imagine the locals must have got sick to death of all the sightseers and ghost hunters over the years, especially it being such a small village.
Interesting about the Warren connection. The main Paranormal investigator assocaited with Borley Rectory was a guy called Harry Price. After his death in 1948 many accusations of fakery were made of his investigations. Whether he did fake anything or not is open to debate but there was too much paranormal activity going on there for there not to be something in it, and of course much happened there long before he was on the scene.

I don't think the Warren connection is well known, but it is mentioned here: https://fromtinypennies.com/2019/02/05/ed-lorraine-warren-8-of-their-most-famous-cases/
I've become really intrigued by the idea of the paranormal this last few years and I often check out clips on YouTube of this sort of thing. A lot is laughable but there are some things that will really make you say holy shit and while may still be a hoax (and probably are if we're being honest) aren't so easy to just dismiss.

An interesting article. I'm certainly familiar with some of those cases and seen the films that have been based on them.
I know what you mean about many if not even most being a hoax. probably the most believable ones wouldn't make much of a story. Nothing more than a simple sighting of a ghostly figure for a few seconds and that's it.

You have to take everything with a pinch of salt. There's YouTube channels on there who seem to get paranormal footage wherever they go.
There are also channels who upload just one video on the subject which are often the harder ones to be debunked. Or show something very minor like a plank of wood sliding across the floor on its own. Regarding photos rather than videos, I consider this the most freaky ghost photo around:  This was taken in 1963. Some of claimed to debunk it as a double exposure while others have alternately claimed it isn't. What's known is that it was taken by a reverend who may have faced serious trouble with the Church is a hoax like this was proven. Real or fake, this is creepy as fuck. That face!

All this said I remain interested but high sceptical until such time I see or capture definite proof myself that I can say I know I haven't faked.
I do still stand by my earlier account written here about possible poltergeist activity in my house, but I can prove nothing and can't honestly say I have 0% doubt. Nothing's happened again for a long time anyway.

I have that photo in one of my books and had similar thoughts to you. I think the double exposure theory is unlikely as just taking the image of the ghost or whatever it is on its own, it's pretty bizarre.

Kinda looks like Ghostface.  If I took that photo I'd never set foot in that church ever again.

It does a bit doesn't it? In fact if it wasn't so old that would be a reason to doubt it for me.

I've been binge watching Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural lately. It's hilarious and it's worth watching for the chemistry between the hosts itself.
