Been thinking about all this mumbo jumbo.....sorry ghost stuff.
I have a question for all the believers in this.
I have been in a certain derp in Liverpool, in the dark (cus that's when ghosts appear) for several hours in a small group but nothing "spooky" happened.
In fact I know one chap who's been in the place dozens of times and never seen a ghost.....bear in mind this is "one of the most haunted places in the uk"
But
When people go on ghost hunts here (ya know....on a PAID ghost hunt)
They see and hear somethings "spooky"
My question is this
Is this pure chance or is the fact people pay money and the organiser's want to keep a reputation going directly related to the " SPOOKY" goings on?
Also why no ectoplasm? We've all seen ghostbusters .....why no ectoplasm?
Damn that was two questions
I actually think this is a fantastic question. Myself, I guess u could say I fit under the term paranormal investigations. BUT if I'm honest, these "hauntings" an things people see are very exaggerated. Now I'm not saying that I can either confirm or debunk the other side. When I go out exploring I love the history, I love being somewhere that was once so full of life an in the hustle and bustle of life. Like an old hospital, or a warehouse. Etc.
I can say this, as of yet I have not got any evidence that will convince EVERYONE of the afterlife an ghosts. Etc or whatever your belief is. Now I will say I've "experienced" things that don't have a scientific or rational explanations.
1st 1 I'll say is I was a nurse at a hospital in Liverpool. I was on a night shift in a skin ward so wasn't all that busy, especially of a night.
So the nurses room was part of a side room of 3 rooms. These was kept for people with MRSA, or the more serious of extensive skin conditions.
There was 3 side wards so for 1 person per room. The corner room and 1st side room was used as the staff room where we had our breaks an lunch etc.
So 3 staff on duty of a night, if it was quiet we took a 2 hour break where we could go catch some sleep or chill etc.
On this particular shift, it was my turn for break. So I went in, an used the recliner chair so it went into a sleeping position as such. Then had my portable DVD play. I think it was around 2003 perhaps. So was in the room, chilling watching "Everybody loves Raymond" on my DVD player.
There was no lights on only the dim or red lights to make it not completely dark so if a patient got up to go the toilet they was a le too.
Now this room had no curtains or blinds it was just a window. Then there was lights from the car park below this was on 1st floor. The moon was out an it was so bright. When I noticed a shadow on the ceiling. It was very faint at 1st, an I spent 10plus minutes trying 2 work out what was making the shadow.
Man I couldn't at all work it out. It was like a cloud. An it moved as if it was something outside moving in the wind. An the next bit is exactly how it happened.
It got thicker an darker. So looked more like a puff of smoke. It then moved slowly to the opposite end of the room I was in, it reached the door, moved down the wall till it reached the top of the door and then it went out the gap at the top of the door.
I am more likely to say there's a reasonable or a scientific explanation for 90% of haunting or supposed ghosts etc.
Now I don't say this was a ghost or something, but I haven't got an actual explanation for what happened. It didn't go cold, it didn't jump am say boo, no ectoplasm unfortunately neither lol.
I've had some other "odd" things happen. Like an old house I bought when I had my 1st born. We needed a place fast as it was our 1st time living together an a baby on the way.
So our 1st Christmas in the house, my little 1 was in bed asleep. My wife was wrapping presents upstairs in our bedroom. I was downstairs cleaning, an I heard my wife come down the stairs, so I quickly hid behind the door so I could jump out a scare her. After a minute or so. I opened the door expecting her to be on to me about to jump out on her an nobody was there. So I went upstairs to see why she come down. An she said to me 1st, oh I heard u come up the stairs a min a go, I was talking to u but u didn't answer me. An asked I I was OK. So my reply was, I heard YOU come down the stairs an was going to jump out on you. She said she hadn't moved from the bed.
There are a few odd things too in that house, but this post will be even longer. So I'll make this last bit quick, lol
A few years later our little 1 was 3 or so. So my wife and I was sat downstairs watching a film. We put him to bed at like 7.30-8pm. So it was around 9pm-ish an we heard him running around upstairs. He was in our bed as he fell asleep watching some cartoons. So I paused the film, an quietly went upstairs to catch him out playing with his toys as he was supposed to be asleep. So I got upstairs went into our room an he was out cold. He definitely didn't wake up and was running around. This happened at random occasions u that house. No specific time of day or night.
I have a few of these experiences in that house. Happy to tell you more if your interested like.
As I said, I have no SOLID evidence of stuff that is as clear to u as this reply is.
There possibly was so.e explanation to all I mentioned.
I will say that I Don't attend any group ghost hunts an pay stupid amounts of cash to go on 1.
Personally, I'd rather be with 3 or so other people in an abandoned place, an if we heard or seen anything we can account for where everyone is. So it's not someone banging or messing about.
I've been in some very old buildings like hospitals an similar places where many have died over the years. An not felt a thing. No equipment went off an was chilled an this is at stupid o'clock.
I've been to places that are not abandoned, are not that old, an had a feeling of someone watching etc, just the feeling u get as a person where u know someone is there etc.
I don't believe u have to wait till 3am an all that. The people who organise these group events are making EASY money.
Happy to answer any questions or something you have.
But the majority of the time, I like old abandoned buildings that have so much history to them. An seeing things that PEOPLE had and used, like finding crisp packets from 20 years ago. Drinking bottles from the 50s. An 1 of my favourite things was in Liverpool, its the bunkers underneath Littlewoods Pools on edge lane. In the maze of bunkers, there are charcoal portraits on the wall that was drawn by the people there when WW2 was on.
If you haven't seen them b4, I can upload some pictures of them on here.
Hope this help some how with your VERY VALID question.
Cheers.
