Paranormal
Just a few paragraphs to mention some of many paranormal activities and occurrences that have took place in my lifetime, one way or another. I could SINCERELY make a web site of it's very own with the mass of experiences and content that are stored in my head.
Born the seventh male child of a seventh male child, although not the seventh son of a seventh son, where all in line were male. Allegedly this is said quite mystical in itself?
Unidentified Flying Objects
Personal belief is that there is definitely life out there some where. To look at the Earth and say life only existed on one sole solitary country alone and not on any other, is just as impossible as saying that there is no such thing as life on other planets, it's a reasonable point to muse over.
As Children, during the early 1960s a large group of us witnessed what appeared to be, an actual planet circle the sun. It was most certainly not an Eclipse and certainly not a sunspot either. It circled round the sun fast indeed about three times in all in less than a minute of passing time or so, and was about an eighth the size of the sun itself. Perfectly circle shaped like a small planet or a small planets shadow. There were several of us all saw this and an adult, so it was most certainly not imagined or our eyes playing tricks.
As a child, I often witnessed many endless shooting stars, but have rarely one in my elder years. I once stopped mid day, to note a triangle shaped shining object stood perfectly stationary. It was really high up in the sky, I stood mystified looking and was soon joined by younger brother, then many adults all indeed joined us, until there was a crowd of people all looking up at this. It was like a stealth fighter but no such thing existed then and it was silver perfectly absolutely 100% stationary.
As a Teenager, I once witnessed the North Star one time only, shine and sparkle with the points and full splendour it has portrayed on Christmas cards and artists Christmas religious paintings. With that this was the very first time actually I heard, what could be interpreted, as Gods voice?
As a teenager we followed in chase a perfect round metallic ball object, as it flew (darted) through the sky. I followed it via motorbike at speed, through the streets. The sky was perfectly clear and blue, a beautiful clear summer early evening. I stopped hurriedly at my friend's house, dragged him out, through his window in urgency, got him on the bike, and we chased this for many miles. The only single small cloud in the sky, it ran into then seemed to just disappear. Whether it just stayed hidden in there or just did not did not come out is a mystery in itself.
Later in time early seventies when I was dating, amid a bus journey through Cowgate, I noticed the clouds here and there amid a perfect blue sky were each a spate sole different colour. Purple green orange yellow blue red green, this was an amazing experience one I was sift to point out to other passengers who were quick to comment at this awesome spectacle.
The day the first laser weapon was test fired from space myself and wife witnessed what appeared to be a flash of light bounce with a speed so fast through the earth's atmosphere. It was like a laser shot but by far much to quick for something like a meteor passing by the atmosphere. Within an hour later that same evening, we did then see shooting stars or a Meteor.
Ghosts
Newcastle upon Tyne has a history of countless endless Ghost stories galore within its history and years formerly long gone by now.
There are thousands of tales of ghostly sightings recorded throughout the Tyne region over all. Stand on the quayside look at the new buildings watch the flowing river, you can almost hear the ghostly noise of ship yard hammers falling, of Victorian quay side workers and beyond, all busy amid their former life times duty.
Many claim to see the faces of those long gone staring back from the river, and at least two shocking ghosts that both use fearful terror tactics have been witnessed driving fear into many numerous folk on the quayside over the past countless years now. One appears faceless (or with head in basket) another screams right at you when least expected
Running up dog leap stairs as fast as you can, it's said you will hear the horsemen and dogs that pursued Betty Surtees lover. In Betty's old house (now a museum) on Sandgate at the quayside many claim to see her face peering through the window.
There are countless ghost stories and ghost walks to through out the city, just type ghost stories Newcastle upon Tyne in any leading search engine
Heaton
Within my own life time to date there are a number of very strange spooky eerie things that I have encountered, some shared by my Wife. And finally one tale we heard of from a friend's father and many other senior local folk we personally knew very well, none of these folk were accustomed to spinning a tale or a yarn.
In Heaton long before I was born my eldest sister then a toddler woke my parents up middle of the night, she was said to be screaming wildly and literally petrified white as a ghost in appearance. My Mother would often relay over the years how she was found to be fearfully mumbling there was a red demon ghoul sitting right there at the foot of her bed? They do say children can sense and see things that grown up folk simply fail to see?
Again in Heaton the same a block of houses and shops the very beginning of the coast road are said to be haunted by what many over the years named as the grey or white lady.
Until I just was about to be married I had never seen this once, despite my being born in one of those actual houses.
When courting and phoning a taxi for my (then) fiancée to go home (late 1:30am) we glanced up at an empty vacant flat above the shops, this had been empty many years prior and there as clear as could be at the window stood this actual spirit standing watching us both. The sense was eerie to say the least. We ran into my Mothers passage and shut the door needless to say today we wonder why we ran there when whatever it was, it could very likely easily have came through walls to meet us for according to all the houses and tenants that had seen this it ventured and roamed the entire block house to house?
At the front of those shops lies the very beginning of the coast road, under the fly over, many who have been forced to stop a car here and pulled over under the flyover have sensed the spirit or ghost of a child said to be that of a youth a boy and felt an urgency to leave the car and get away quickly?
Further up the road in Heaton is a multi story block of flats called the spinney, at the rear of these is a park, this used to be coal mines many years back in time. History records a tale of local school children visiting these mines when they caved in. Originally there was a tree planted for every life lost there and a later in time plaque commemorating this sad incident placed on the flats when they were built. Many folk over the years have felt a strange over whelming sorrowful sense at this park?
Denton
Denton, there is an extremely old convent and just opposite over the A69, what seems to be part of the former grounds of this convent sold off and now today used as a children's home.
The convent, at its very rear directly opposite the flats and houses gives the eeriest chills you may ever sense or feel not those of ghosts but such as a sense of the devil himself, as if a gateway to hell actually lies there? Make no mistake the experiences many folk have had in this entire direct area over all have been terrifying to say the least.
One night on route home so powerful and fearful was this chilling evil sense that I crossed the road and went through flats to avoid the rear of this convent. Whatever this may be or indeed is effects local homes and nearby flats time and time again, one night three floors up working in a tool cupboard (former coal house) located on a balcony. I heard something on the roof above me, hairs stood upon end the back of my neck, in panic and fear I grabbed an extremely large screw driver about 18 inches in length, pummelled this at the guttering just above my balcony, hearing something quite clearly scramble up the roof? Needless to say I backed into the flat keeping eyes forward slammed the door shut, locked it shut the blinds and went to bed screw driver still in my hand leaving light on throughout the house?
Many times since this was heard and endless tiles came off roofs at several of those flats leaving what appeared large claw marks in the wake above where tiles were found to have slipped away?
An elderly neighbour next door, the only tenant in those flats since being built, just after the war laughed at the tales folk would relay about this happening to them. However one night it happened to her and the next day several tiles were off her roof too, and the same apparent scratch marks left on the roof. Scratch marks evident by eye sight from over the road looking three floors up? All who experienced this and fell foul to whatever it may have been unbelievably sensed quite eerily what was thought and described as a ghoul a winged demon?
One night we had some friends around they were Jehovah witnesses and our religious beliefs often clashed causing endless a debate, one night we debated well into 3:30 am and they finally hit the road home. I showed them a short cut via the back of the mentioned convent, when we got to the bottom of that road they started debating religion again. Pitch black sky all around us and only the moon on show, then sudden perfect daylight, absolutely not a storm nor lightening or anything similar. We looked at one another in awe for what seemed fifteen thirty seconds then it was night again? No sound no thunder nothing at all? I hasten to add we all ran home, me in cold sweat back to mine and them to their own home? This is something that cannot be explained, it was certainly not a flash of lightening or anything similar, the entire area as far as the eye could see right down over the country to Middlesbrough was perfect normal daylight? Three of us were each and all perfect witnesses as we stood?
All the above only started after the building of the A1 motorway, they had to blast through rock to get the motorway built at this point, maybe they have disturbed or unleashed something unknown. Press records of one workman's death under a steam roller when making this?
A later incident, when once walking with my wife to work for a night shift we went down a lane in Denton that has a truly ancient wall (near the mentioned children's home) this wall is possibly from dating as far back as roman time or before.
It was bitter cold and icy indeed but there no fog to be seen a crystal clear night. In the midst of this lane there appeared before us a sheer bank of mist, a dense fog, we had no option but to walk through, as we stepped in we could not see before behind or to the side and had to watch our feet to stop our self walking off the actual foot path? In a matter of 10 to 15 seconds we passed through this, looked back and it was still there, yet nowhere else to be seen? I only wish I had owned a video camera back then? It would have made excellent unbelievable spine chilling viewing for all seeing.
Later in time the footbridge over the motorway, I was approaching this someone was near half way over, when I reached that bridge they were gone and they had not turned around or changed direction nor jumped off just simply disappeared? I do know that some folk have ended their life on this motorway jumping into rush hour traffic?
My Wife was awoken one night and looked ashen when appearing through the door after three hours sleep, she described a sense of something like a dog on her back scratching at her and she was terrified that night?
Not long after this, the Neighbour next door, her only child her Son passed away with Cancer, and all the tenants in our block later found themselves eventually forced out of their homes when a drug dealer moved into the neighbouring block? Fate or co-incidence, you decide but remember the elderly lady next door to us was the only tenant who had lived at that flat since they were built reflecting perhaps more than co-incidence? And remember this was a perfectly peaceful serene area until that motorway was built and rock blasted daily away by the literal tons?
The Town
In Newcastle the soup kitchens, what a story or two they actually relay, my Father worked for a company called Taylor Woodrow, they were one of the building companies building swan house, the building that is the actual main traffic island at the Newcastle side of the Tyne Bridge.
The job was stopped time and time again as buried skeletons one after another were discovered? It turns out these were former patients who had died at the former old soup kitchen hospital (the historical building located standing facing across the Tyne bridge with your back to Newcastle, look to your left the old Victorian building now a museum).
The soup kitchens are said to be haunted by a young Victorian girl or woman who used to sell oranges, there are many tales from locals and visitors alike who hear her eerie ghostly cry to buy her oranges? I myself can actually sense if and when she is there but she always appears as if quite harmless and of good intent rather than of ill intent.
There is an old church straight opposite this building look up you cannot miss its spire lit up boldly in the sky line, go there late at night when its dark you will clearly feel such an eerie chill as if someone is watching you.
Take great caution as there are rabbits running the greens there that may give you an unwarranted fearful scare in the dark. I know I got one this year 2008 from three of those rabbits.
There is also a lane to the right of this church of what seem to be new houses made from old recycled bricks saved from the former houses there, this street is called All Hallows Lane. It took me countless numerous attempts over three nights to get a decent photograph of this actual street sign alone using state of the art digital camera, no matter where I stood the tripod nor how firm or tightly fixed it was every image took came out blurry except for two after numerous attempts? The eerie sense you get here at this church and seeing that street name gives one amazing scary chill making hairs on the back of the neck seem to stand on end. You will definitely feel as if you are being watched somewhere from the church tower?
To the right of this church, there is an old historical part of the town wall, like a tower of sorts, recent night time photographs taken show two orbs in or over the actual ancient stones never before have I seen these or managed to photograph anything like this?
It's even more quite scary when you think, Alan Robson, Metro Radio famed global ghost hunter now works literally just across the road from this very place?
One true tale, very creepy in its relayed form, was apparently recorded by local press back in time this was first relayed to me by a good friend's father and since verified by many senior residents I personally got to know well.
This records a group of working men very early in the morning being taken to the latest point in building what is now known as the North Road. The road through Gosforth taking you to what is known as the old roman road, apparently the lead truck packed with workmen stopped after colliding with something in the middle of the road. The driver and co driver as workmen in that first truck were white and ashen trying to relay what they had all collided with and just what they had witnessed and seen.
It was described as half animal half man? The press apparently records how police tracker dogs were called in as there was no sign of this thing yet evidential great injury caused by damage to the front of the truck showed it must have received quite bad injury. Apparently the police dogs were able to follow this scent and a trail of blood every here and there to a local graveyard in Gosforth and the scent or trail apparently disappeared into thin air on top of a headstone on an old grave?
If ever in Newcastle upon Tyne try visiting any of these mentioned places for a spooky chill you may never forget. There are little castle shaped markers set out in paving stones throughout the city as a tourist trail. These change to a larger one when you approach something of historic interest
ESP Premonitions
I have always had a gifted ability to predict many things right from my early childhood. This is usually through premonitions, but I do not sadly have an inability to interpret them correctly at the time they decide to manifold themselves.
In predictions we can only relay the vision we were shown, the interpretation could be practically anything? I have been able to see and predict many things also able to quite accurately read peoples lives from a simple pack of ordinary every day playing cards.
Born as the seventh child of a seventh child, although not the seventh son of a seventh son. This apparently is of mystical or spiritual significance. As a young teen (a youth) I watched a television program regarding ESP. Weeks later in the programme's schedule they were to have a computer generate a random number. This number would then refer to a computerised random chosen photograph. A television personality was then to later to sit staring at that photograph. Attempting to send an image out via ESP.
The hope was that people watching might possibly get a vision of the picture and then draw what they had seen via ESP. Immediately the mention of the scheduled experiment had been broadcast, I actually wrote down the number of the photograph the computer was to generate. Then I drew a pencil picture of actual photograph that this experiment would be associated with.
I was too young to participate in that Television programme but I but stumped the Television producers and programme associates with this prediction. Weeks before the experiment had even been attempted. I had accurately predicted the computers chosen number sketched the actual picture it would pick and also even said who the Television presenter would be even describing the room they would be sitting in. I got my mother to sign and witness that this was not a con trick.
Through life, as we all do, I have said several things in angered temper, sadly many unfortunately came true. I hated myself afterwards, not just one or two things either. Many situations like this have happened that are way to painful indeed to ever talk about openly. By far, to many to be mere co-incidence.
I have fore seen the death of an Uncle Grandmother and many others before they died via premonitions. Had a premonition of a disaster in space. One that was to catch the entire Worlds attention, the Premonition was of the Moon, it appeared to be larger than the earth in the vision. The vision clearly foretold shock and horror world-wide. Within weeks of this the space shuttle blew up as we all know.
I once wrote a letter summarising my life during a particular crisis period. The entire prophetic content of that letter later came true 99.99% accurately. I can only add this was not a situation that any sane person would purposely put them selves through, simply to make the truth from a prophecy appear to happen, by far, yet again, way too personal and incredibly painful to go into any detail.
In recent years, I had a weird and strange dream. It was as if some one was standing beside my bed side showing me the scenes I witnessed. During this vision or interpretation I appeared to be in the local town when what could be described as the finger of God poked through the cloud and started writing fiery words across the skies. People looked on in amazement while I grabbed my VCR from my bag, just as I started recording this. Pointing this phenomenon out to a passing man fireballs started to fly down everywhere and earth quakes shook the city. In this vision I fought my way through the city falling down around me hearing God say you're okay it's not your turn yet?
This is quite a lengthy one to debate, but when my wife returned home that evening, mentioning this to her. She told me her work colleague had just that day committed a daughter into a psychiatric hospital she had apparently been trying to end her life because it was supposed to be the end of the World that week according to age old prophets. You can imagine the shock I now felt hearing this. Sincerely I had no Notion what so ever of these Prophecies. But this was indeed truly scary to say the least.
Okay so the end of the world did not come, my vision or interpretation and the ancient prophets seemed to be wrong some where along the line. But having said that, the same year as we all know brought Famines and Floods Earth Quakes and goodness knows what to Country after Country across the globe.
Is this possibly what I had seen, indeed is this possibly what the ancient prophets had also seen.
A Prophecy a Vision is easy to receive. But the exact precise interpretation is indeed extremely difficult to exactly translate.
I strongly believe. According to the Bible, that when God removed the direct freedom of access to himself from Man. (At Man's fall), that a particular part of the brain, a Spiritual side which had, and has, many possibilities and powers, was shut off from further use by man. Although it's still there we just do not know how to access it for use. Perhaps this too accounts for the many miracles and amazing miraculous feats of strength and similar strange tales we hear throughout our lives. If you know anything of the Holy Spirit, perhaps this is where he resides with a true believer.
Who Truly Knows the Answers?
During my mid 40's I often had what seemed to be, some truly awesome and amazing dreams, and Premonitions but in real vivid colour. What is so strange about these dreams is that I sense some one there with me, as if they are showing me, or relaying these things to me.
One occasion I was told by who ever stands at my bedside relaying this, to put the lottery numbers on that week. But using only number with a 2 in them. By mid week right at the very last minute I scribbled 6 possible lines down. I put only the actual first line I had wrote on. If I had put all six lines on, I would not only have won several three number combination prizes, but also a five number cash prize too.
An even more recent dream was when my Partner and myself were taken to another Planet. Not an unusual dream, but it was so vivid it could well have been real. It was NOT frightening in any way, and was truly enjoyable and memorable in every imaginable sense, with what appeared to be extremely friendly Aliens.
What was unusually striking in this dream, was that we actually went for a walkabout in their City. I say a City as they had a massive (and I mean massive) River running through it. And an ocean ship went by us, perhaps as large as a small city itself, and it too was perfectly circular. Like a Birthday Cake shape to give you an idea. The Buildings were all Silver the sky was awesome colours of red purple and blues.
Empathy
Another gift that is indeed often quite sad in return, is feeling deeply for others literally sensing their pain or emotion. Watching many operations on Television can be incredible and leave me unable to move, feeling quite ill, as if I had personally undergone the operation myself?
Say watching operations or someone with severe terminal illness, my heart and being feels what they feel? Senses every pain injury or weakness. Sometime if watching an operation, it's a good while before I recover and am able to move myself?
Reading a true story of a Paraplegic I found myself often unable to use my legs at all for many minutes after wards. This also has a beautiful side too, and can heal many hearts and pains for others. Watching children and adults with severe life threatening illness or sever impairments, I feel over overwhelmed that if I were placing my hand on their head I could really take this away from them?
Amid 2006, the weirdest thing started to happen to me, wherever I went, I sensed clearly where someone has either been knocked down or fallen off something and died. Scary yes more so when you realise I clearly feel and sense sensations like to what they must have felt. (EG) being knocked over and every movement as many were thrown through the air or falling of a bridge say and hitting the bottom or what ever else they landed on.
We went to Edinburgh for a weeks Holiday and in Edinburgh Castle Dungeons I could tell you word for word what former French Prisoners were shouting and crying out? It's not a nice experience I can tell you. Some say it's empathy within me feeling and reaching out. But it's reaching far beyond just those alive and still living?
Often upon visiting any old Historical buildings, I can hear ghostly voices as if I was there at some time back in History.
I watch endless snippets of shows where the presenters hunt ghosts? A ghost is never seen. I can not say how but I can sense reality from acting and fiction. I also know full well that when those people ask a ghost to do something or appear it will NOT happen. A ghost is a said spirit, the bible and every version known records man is made higher even than the angels? As such man is superior to spirits and those making such programmes should command and tell the said ghost or spirits what they want, and most certainly “NOT” ask them?
Any doubting Thomas should try this and be cautious indeed, unlike most folk some folk are a destined magnet to spiritual occurrences in their life when visiting such places, my self for one.
At the same time, it is also said to be quite possible we are seeing though a form of time portal, a gap of sorts and witnessing life back in time through this?
Many of the life poems I write, even the sad love poems and more so horror poems are said to be the closest thing to the bone that endless of our visiting readers and poetry forum members have ever read. Angst empathy emotional turmoil and a mind tormented and ripped apart. Vagrant homeless folk, third world poverty, a must read for all who grasp what I'm saying here. People coming back from the dead to warn others, people dying lonely and alone and crossing over into Heaven, the descriptions are from visions I'm inspired to clearly see and relay? Visions of being dragged into hell, alien abductions and all. No to the critics they are not simply just all from watching too much television either, believe me?
Dates
Dates are indeed weird.
Numerous nephews or nieces born on an Uncle's birthday, my Mothers twenty first Grandchild was born on the birthday of her first Grandchild's twenty first birthday?
She had four Boys and four Girls but also one female and one male child who were lost before birth.
Her second daughter was born on her wedding anniversary as also was my wife's brother?
Myself I was born nineteenth of January my Wife nineteenth June our Son the nineteenth December
Father in-laws Birthday is fourteenth June and two Granddaughters were born that day too, and he died the day before one of his Grandsons Birthday.
Once talking with my Son's Girlfriend (now his Wife) about these strange dates. She was shocked to realise her Father is indeed born the same day as me and that he too (as my Father) also had twenty six children in his family?
There are countless unbelievable numerical phenomena by far to great to list?
Other reading and links to Paranormal
These are brief examples, but they do say this is a common thing among families, and indeed has mathematical reason behind all.
There is a lot more indeed, to add and I will add more as I recall or see anything else interesting.
Read Chris's Chilling Ghost story and Horror poems. Truly terrifying, spine chilling, scary thoughts to send shivers up your spine. These have some superb special effects using java applet overlays that compliment the poems.
If you want to be terrified see one of our local radio Stations at Metro Radio and look up the DJ called Alan Robson.
