I've no idea Sassy - it was in reaponse to a post about how the mind can play tricks etc.What mundane cause would prompt a table to getting slapped or a door to close on its own or my mum's shoes to be moved across the room, or something shushing shhh as my brother and mum were saying a prayer. If it was just the sounds or the smells then one can rationalize the mind is playing some games but once things move on their own or doors close without nobody closing them then it is no longer the mind but something else making these things happen.
May be your mate here Legend...Another example of a place having a 'history' is a place that a fair few in here should know:
For those that don't know, this terrifying, Victorian, Hammer Horror-esque looking building is the old Seaman's Orphanage in Newsham Park (I live not far from here)
It's a formidable looking place (Especially when they get the occasional few bats flying around the tower at night) even more so when you know its history.
As I said above, I'm not sure on the existence of ghosts or spirits, but if they do exist, they are definitely in this place. Nothing good has ever happened here.
It was built in the late 1860's by a group of philanthropists to house the orphans of Britain's maritime sailors (Merchant and Royal Navy sailors who had been lost at sea)
It was used as an orphanage until the 1940's when the kids were all evacuated to the countryside to escape the blitz during WWII.
During the war, it was used as a sort of convalescent hospital for seriously injured servicemen/sailors. Those who had lost several limbs or were not expected to live much longer.
It closed soon after the war as the foundation that supported it no longer had the funds to keep it open and the kids were moved to other orphanages across the country.
It was then taken over in the 50's and became Park View Asylum (Later Park View Hospital) for the mentally ill, which remained open until around the early 90's I believe.
It's been empty ever since.
An orphanage, convalescent ward for dying/seriously ill soldiers and a mental asylum... talk about bad juju!
Of course there's loads of stories about the place being haunted. It's a regular spot for ghost hunters and the like.
People hear laughing or crying children, tales of one of the ex asylum female residents stalking the halls etc.
A guy I work with used to work night security there and swears blind the place is haunted. Chains rattling, things rushing past you, cold spots etc.
He is, however, a very devoutly religious and superstitious guy from Morocco. "There are many devils in there, my brother! Praise to God, I will not be going near that place again"
On the flip side, an old school friend of mine does a lot of urban photography, drone video's of the city (A lot of his stuff gets used by various Liverpool tourism agencies) and he's been through the Seamans Orphanage a fair few times (both legally and not so legally) to photograph the inside.
His view was that, although it's certainly spooky place, you have to bear in mind that it's a massive old building that has stood empty for a few decades on the edge of a Victorian park. The whole place he says is crawling with various critters like rats, mice, squirrels, pigeons, cats, possibly hedgehogs and foxes (And the bats!). You only have to stroll through loudly at night to hear the whole building come alive with scurrying and scratching, not to mention the creaks and groans of the old building itself. If you go in there expecting a paranormal experience, your mind might just give you one.
Or maybe it's a little of both columns... who knows? ?
Is this really all that relevant to the thread? I dunno, but I'm really fascinated by the place, it has such an interesting history. ?
TL;DR - I ramble on about my favorite spooky old building for several paragraphs.
I have no idea either @dublinbluenose When it was just the sounds and the smell we didn’t make much of it but once this energy became more pronounced we began questioning everything we know about the afterlife.I've no idea Sassy - it was in reaponse to a post about how the mind can play tricks etc.
When you say shoes move - do you mean they fly across the floor or they're just in a different place to where they were left the previous day or something?
Old floorboards and stairs crack and bang with changes in temp / humidity all the time.
As I mentioned above, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is supposedly hunted. Here is video clip of someone that visited the hotel a while back and filmed his experience.
At my mum’s the doors get slammed too but it never happens at regular rhythm to video record it but unexpectedly the door gets shut.
Wow you are good. I’m naive enough to believe this video was real and that @Spadge Vernacular is really getting frightened in CA.That video is bizarrely edited. The first part shows clips of the Biltmore Estate (in NC) but then the guy says he's at the Providence Biltmore Hotel (in Rhode Island) at 0:30.
Not him, but really interesting none the less!May be your mate here Legend...
If he’s on the 28 days later urban explorers site. I find the reading hard on the eyes but plenty of pictures.
A report from inside.

Probably would have been welcome if he was leglessThey do ghost walks in there - mate of mine got turned away a few year back as he went into town beforehand and ended up bladdered lol
The way this one ends is quite funny...
Oh my how different some of us feel about this experience. The thought of me being bothered by the ghost the next few weeks in unnerving but you wouldn’t mind going for a haunted tour? Wanna be my chaperone for the next month lolI love the whole concept behind it but unfortunately I have never experienced anything. Would love to do like a tour of a haunted place or something similar one day.
Yeah it’s a strange one. As I have never experienced any kind of supernatural activity I guess it’s more about the curiosity of wanting to know whether ghosts exist. I love watching supernatural films and documentaries but there has always been doubt in my mind that it’s all a hoax. I would love it to be true in a weird way. In terms of being afraid of possibly encountering a supernatural being I believe that I have learnt to control my fears quite well and it wouldn’t bother me as long as I don’t have to live with it lolOh my how different some of us feel about this experience.
