Hello, and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about the top 10 ghost stories.
That's correct, the top 10 ghost stories.
And if you count the one that I'm going to throw in here, I
guess you'd call it 11 ghost stories.
We don't cover this very often, but kind of a slow week in the
UFO world. And I thought, you know, ghost
stories are so much fun to hear about, and they do overlap with
this whole idea of interdimensional beings.
And a lot of folks think that there is a connection between
the UFO phenomena, at least some part of the UFO phenomena and
ghost. Now this first article comes to
us from lifescience.com. I'll give you my story at the
very end. It says 10 Ghost Stories That
Will Haunt You for Life. Written by Owen Jerryson.
It was written October 21st, 2022 from a spooky 3200 year old
tale written on broken pottery pieces.
Amateur YouTube videos of ghost chases, frightening tales of
apparitions, demons, and goblins have been documented since
ancient times and continued to fascinate people today.
Although these paranormal events aren't supported by science,
they have persisted throughout history.
And here's a look at some of the most frightening cases.
You know, I'm not so sure if they aren't supported by
science, because how much research is actually being done.
By Science on Ghost. So you you you kind of get the
the flavor of this article right here. 1200 BC says ghost story
from Egypt. It's a long time ago, 3200 years
ago 1200 years before Christ. Just imagine this thing's been
around for a long time. In 1915, Egyptologist gassed in
the Sparrow published a translation of an ancient
Egyptian ghost story possibly set in Luxor or ancient Thebes,
and has a picture of it here. That was discovered on four
pieces of pottery. In the story, a ghost of
mummified of a mummified man tells a high priest of the God
Amun about his current condition.
Quote, I grew and I did not see the rays of the sun.
I did not breathe the air, but darkness was before me every day
and no one came to fight me, the ghost says.
Boy, you could just feel that. Terror coming down through the
centuries I grew and I did not see the rays of the sun.
I did not breathe the air, but darkness was before me every day
and no one came to find me. I find it strange that he's
saying that he's growing. The ghost seems to complain of
some accident has happened to himself or his to his tomb.
But I cannot make out what the subject of his dissatisfaction
is, Miss Sparrow wrote. The ancient Egyptians believe
strongly in life after death and created serious spells called
the Book of the Dead, which they believed helped them reach the
afterlife. Now the second one here is Ghost
of Two Po. I'll put a link on these on the
Buy me a coffee website. Go and check them out.
Also thanks for all the help that all the coffee that I've
got this week. It's a little here and there and
it's not a huge amount of money, but it helps.
And if you support the show and buy me a coffee or on Spotify.
I appreciate that Tupo was an ancient Chinese ghost with
revenge on his mind. Before he died, Tupo served as
administered to Chinese Emperor, Hussan says.
Here lived 827 to 783 BC. The two had a disagreement and
Hussan had Tupo killed in about 786 BC.
Despite warnings that Tupo would come back and haunt him, Tupo
did a lot more than haunt the Emperor three years later than
783 BC. Tucson was killed with an arrow
fired by an apparition resembling people in front of
assembly. A few Lords wrote Chinese
philosopher Mozu. And that's from The Complete
Book of Ghost by Paul Rowland. Yeah, so reportedly this ghost
came back and killed again. That's something we don't hear
about too often, about these apparitions actually being able
to transcend that physical dimension to the point where
they're able to do things to harm people.
Although we do hear, Poltergeist, we do hear of.
Ghost moving things, making sounds, moving furniture around.
Sometimes it's not unheard of. Chained man in ancient Athens
Roman senator Plainy the younger, who died in a D with
113, told a ghost told a ghost hell so haunting that it
survives to this day. There was an Athens a large and
roomy house which had a bad name so that no one could live there
in the dead of night. A noise resembling the clashing
of iron was frequently heard. Which, if you listen more
attentively, sounded like they're rattling a change
disturbances that led to the appearance of a specter form of
an old man of an extremely emanciated and squalled
appearance, with a long beard and disheveled hair rattling the
change on his feet and hands. Needless to say, the house was
abandoned and had to be rented out for a cheap price.
When a philosopher named Athen Adores heard the story, he
reportedly rented the house and confronted the ghost.
The ghost. The ghost appeared and rattled
around before vanishing. Anthony Doris calmly marked the
spot where the ghost vanished in the morning, ordered that the
spot be dug up, the story goes. This was accordingly done, and
the skeleton of a man of chains was found there, for the body,
having lain in a considerable time in the ground, was
putrified and mouldered away from the chains.
After being given a proper burial, the ghost departed and
the house was haunted no more, according to Pliny's tale.
Well, this, this is a. This is one of these unresolved
business tales that you hear about the ghost.
Sometimes people will say that that goes to haunted them and
then when they had to perform a certain task, then the haunting
would stop. Now, this isn't the story I'm
going to tell you, but I do have a similar story like that.
I used to be friends with an old lady.
She's been dead for like over 20 years now.
At the time she was in her late 80s, early 90s, growing up out
in South Dakota as a little kid. On the plains out there, and
they lived in a soddy little dirt floor, the whole thing out
there in the Prairie. And she swore to me that when
they first had lived at this house, they experienced
hauntings all the time. There was a storm cellar that
had been dug there, so I'm assuming they must have just
bought this little ramshackle mud, half dirt, half wood house
from somebody they hadn't built themselves.
But there was a storm cellar. Like in the house.
You know a lot of times you put those outside the house, but
this one had like a little you you might call the basement
today, but that's where you go in case A20 nose came and stuff.
And so in that basement, every time they went down there, they
would hear noises and they just knew this like this thing was
haunted. Well, finally one day after this
went on for several weeks, they moved in there and just got to
be overbearing. And her dad decided to have the
idea that maybe there was something in that particular
corner of the basement. Did the same exact thing.
He went down there and dug it up and he found.
Bag full of coins and some gold coins in it.
Actually he took it to the sheriff.
I guess he's a much more honest people than honest man than most
of us. But he felt compelled to take it
to the sheriff. And what he found out was that
like 1520 years before that, maybe further, there had been a
Stagecoach robbery. Because this would have happened
clear back in in like the late 1800s, early 1900s.
This guy I knew, she was born in 1904.
Anyway, previously to them moving there to this little
rundown ramshackle house, if you can even call the house,
somebody had robbed a Stagecoach and they had dug a hole in the
ground. And I don't know if the house
was there or if this is before the house was built, but they
had put this bag of gold in there and silver coins.
What happened was these guys had robbed the Stagecoach and this
fellow, he had escaped with the loot.
Now the sheriff told him that they caught these guys even
though they refused to confess at the time.
It must have been a killing or something, but a couple of them
are hung and they believe it that this was this guy's spirit,
this bandit coming back trying to make things right.
I suppose he was just he was he. This ghost was in fact haunted
by the gold coins he's stolen, she said.
After they turned the money over to the sheriff, the haunting
stopped. Now, I tell you at the time, I
had a hard time believing that story, but she never told me.
She never made things up. She was a very serious old woman
and. This is something she told me
after I'd known her for a long, long time.
So it does fit in with some of these stories where the ghost
has unfinished business. I thought it was strange in this
case that the unfinished business was the ghost was
trying to make right something he did and it's something he
lost his life. Or not.
Maybe the reason he, this ghost was sort of tormented by his
coins. I'm assuming it wasn't because
of the coins. I'm assuming it's because maybe
he killed somebody to get the coins and this was his way,
trying to find his own piece wherever he was at.
And you know, I also thought it was interesting.
I said, man, your family was so poor, why didn't they just keep
that money? And she just said, well, he just
felt like he had to do it. So it's almost if the, if the
experience you're here was compelled to carry out this
work, this ghost was just insistent on.
And I almost think if this guy would have kept that that bag of
gold, silver coins that, you know, something might have.
Befallen him. That was terrible.
I don't know. But it was this weird situation
where this person comes back after death and is desperately
trying to make things right. Okay, that was just my personal
story that was related to me. Something that happened, you
know, over 100 years ago, maybe 120 years ago, Okay this year,
says Bathhouse Boarded up, boarded up bathhouse.
And this is the writer Plutarch, who lived from 8045 to 120.
Tells a ghost story that has a much sadder ending than the one
from Athens in the city of Chironi agrees.
There was a boy named Damon who attracted the attention of a
Roman military commander who apparently loved him.
Historical record suggests Damon refused the commander's advances
and enraging him. I think they're using love here
in a kind of a colloquial way. Knowing that he would be killed
if he did nothing. Damon got a group of friends
together. Ambushed the Roman commander and
several other Roman soldiers, killing them.
The City Council of Chironia condemned that Damon and his
friends to death after that proclamation.
Damon, who had not been killed, had the council had the council
members killed. Wow.
Damon and his friends then took to the countryside, plundering
it. Eventually, the townspeople
allowed Damon to return, but he was killed shortly afterward in
the local bathhouse and because for a long while thereafter a
certain. Phantoms appeared in the place
and groans were heard there. As our fathers tell us, the door
of the vapor bath was walled up and to this present time, the
neighbors think. The neighbors think it the
source of alarming sights and sounds, Plutarch wrote.
Wow, so after this kid was killed, then we had this
haunting back here at this bathhouse where he was at.
Once again, you have this trauma involved.
Most from the Tower of London. It says Britain's numerous
castles are hotspots for ghost stories.
The 900 year old Tower of London is said to contain numerous
ghost in the Queen's house is considered by Tower officials to
be one of the most haunted places.
Among the ghost in the Queen's house is that of Arabella
Stewart, cousin of King James of First.
Arabella made the mistake of marrying against the King's
wishes and was sent to the tower's punishment.
So according to the ghost story, she is still serving her time.
Yeah, back then, if you got sent to the tower, it's kind of just
like a basically a death sentence.
I think a lot of times, I mean, you could go there and
disappear, kind of like what happens today in a lot of
countries and people are arrested, accused of being a
terrorist or enemy of the state. And that's the last time you see
him. As they say, the more things
change, the more they stay the same.
It says in another spooky tail phantom.
The bear is said to haunt one section of the Tower of London
called the Martin Tower Guard, who saw the phantom bear is said
to have dropped dead from the shock that the Tower of London
served as a menagerie for a part of its history and held a
variety of animals, including bears.
This is something a little bit strange that we don't hear a lot
about, but these one of these apparitions come back and form
animals, you know, Of course, I think a lot of.
People just don't believe that animals have spirits.
And some people say that if you if you've ever owned a dog, you
know better. I don't know.
It just seems strange to me. Okay it, says Eokagara woods.
This, this is the one in Japanese.
I think this is a suicide Woods at Eokagara Woods, located at
the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, the corpses of dozens of suicide
victims. Have been found over the past
two decades and the forest has become a popular place for
troubled Japanese citizens to end their lives.
Boy, talk about people needing to reach out for some mental
health help. I've watched documentaries on
this and this is just a very scary, depressing, awful place.
Today there are signs in the forest urging people not to end
their lives, asking them to seek help.
Given the number of suicides that have occurred in the
forest, ghost toys abound, including some alleged
encounters with the apparitions of those who have died there,
which can be seen on YouTube. Yeah, we've seen this.
Just a tragic, tragic situation. This one's known as the exorcism
of Roland of Roland Doe, it says.
In 1949, a boy from Cotty City, Maryland, who was referred to as
Roland Doe, not his real name, underwent exorcism performed by
a group of Roman Catholic priests.
Accounts suggest there are conflicting reports as to
Roland's alleged powers. Some stories claim that Roland
had supernatural strength and could speak and could speak in
ancient languages that the boy had no knowledge of and could
apparently move or levitate the mattress he was lying on.
Since 1949, investigators have called into question many of
these claims, providing evidence to suggest that Roland was a
psychologically troubled boy who hated to attend school and that
his abilities were far from supernatural and any event that
exorcism took place. The events inspired a 1971 novel
called The Exorcist by William Perry Blady, which in turn
inspired the famous 1973 movie. Yeah, I think the child
possessions are really questionable, a lot of them.
But there was some strange stuff surrounding that I don't have to
say that much. Brown lady of Raymond Hall.
And there's a picture of this hallway here which looks like an
operation, a female wearing a long cloaked.
Cloak with the hood overhead, walking down it, says.
Image credit Photo by Hubert Provelin published in Country
Life magazine in 1936. Wow In 1936 a photographer
taking pictures of the 300 year old Rainman Hall in Norfolk, UK
captured an image of an operation floating down the
stairs. It's one of the most famous
ghost photos ever taken, although some experts believe it
has it was caused by double exposure.
You know, I suppose, but it's still very interesting.
It seems to be a lot of detail in this picture, but it could
be. My eyes feel full of me, but
it's it's, it could be my eyes fooling me.
But it's pretty weird. The men are covering an area, an
area of 7000 acres that's enormous, has a long history of
being haunted, and the BBC knows that the ghost may be of Lady
Dorothy Townsend, the wife of the second Viscount of the
estate. She died in 1726, supposedly of
smallpox, after having an affair.
Which her husband Lord Townsend had learned about before death.
She is said to still wonder the man are dressed in round Yeah,
maybe she had a little help. Now the next one here is the
CCTV ghost and this is kind of a wow.
It's almost looks like a skeleton with a black robe and
hood thrown over it, it says. Hampton Court Palace in Surrey,
England has a photogenic ghost of its own in 2003, A CCTV
camera. So this isn't just somebody just
taking this with their YouTube camera.
Caught an image of a skeletal figure clad in centrist old
clothing closing a sturdy fire door that had flung open the
ghost nickname Skeletor attracted a great deal of media
attention. Yeah, I do remember that it
wasn't just the security staff who thought they were seeing
things. She too thought she had seen a
ghost in the area, officials wrote on Hampton Court Palace
website. So yeah, you have.
One of the tourist guides there has also seen the same ghost at
the same time or same day at least.
Skeletor is not the only ghost Ghostly inhabit of Hampton Court
Palace. Catherine Howard, one of Henry
the Eighth's wives, was in prison there and was supposedly
dragged to her room screaming all the way.
The area that she haunts is called the Screaming Gallery
Man. That's really messed up, you
know? So often times these things are
connected with with that negative energy, Okay.
And that's why. They, I think they're so
interesting because it's almost like this negative energy is
left behind. It's something that just powers
these things. This next one, Amityville, it's
a house set involved with a mass killing.
Well, I'll read it to you, but I'm going to tell you ahead of
time, I think this one's been, I think this has been debunked.
As far as the ghost part goes, the Amityville haunting is
perhaps the most famous ghost story in America.
Ronald Defield Junior was convicted for the 1974 killing
of his mother, father, four of their children.
At their home in Amityville, NY, reports indicate that the gun,
Ronald Hughes, didn't have a silencer and there was no sign
of struggle inside the house. Facts that left investigators
puzzle. This case has a whole strange
side to it. Maybe we'll look at it sometime.
It seems to me like the guy that's been convicted of the
murders seems like he had accused somebody else of doing
it. I don't know if it was another
family member or whatever, and there were some questions in
that case, but it's just. It's just a truly awful, awful
situation. In 1975, a new family, the Lutz,
has moved into the Ambyville home, having having bought it at
a discounted price. I'm not sure if that part's
actually correct. They lived there for less than a
month. During that time, voices were
heard around the house. Her daughter developed an
imaginary friendship with a redeyed pig called Jody.
The house attracted swarms of lies, was banging on the walls,
and the furniture was said to move on its own, according to
reports in the family. Yeah, there's been lots and lots
of debate about how. Accurate these reports are and
whether or not the warrants encourage these people to
embellish these reports. So I have to tell you, this is
one that I actually don't believe that the paranormal
activity happened the way that it was reported.
Could there have been some? Sure.
Was a whole family murdered in that house?
Absolutely. It's terrible situation.
But that I think that that particular case.
Kind of takes away from so many of the other cases that we have
where you just like that you see a ghost.
It's more like a sighting, maybe an encounter.
When you get into these longterm hauntings where the houses and
people are, you have all the strawma around.
It almost seems a little too involved really.
You got to get this poltergeist level stuff now.
The stuff with the old buildings where something terrible's
happened or where there's been a suicide or execution or
something, Yeah, those are pretty common and much more
believable now. The last story I wanted to tell
was. Story of my not personally, but
one of my folks told me about back when they were kids back in
the late 50s, early 60s. They were dating, I suppose
around 1960 maybe they were going home.
My mother lived out in the country where they were, where
she lived at several miles from her house, was at mental
hospital, and it was a place where some of the people who
were really ill. Of course this has been back in
the 60s before they had a lot of medication.
Some of those folks were just locked up and it was just.
Not a good situation, but some of them, a lot of them that
were, you know, would be easily treatable today live there
because they really couldn't take care of themselves.
So they maybe have their own room or they live like in a
dormitory and they would kind of come and go on the grounds and
it was a regular thing where people would just leave and not
come back where they'd have to send law enforcement out there,
try to find them. They usually end up finding them
somewhere they would be confused, not know where they're
at or maybe not sure what's going on, they take them back
and. You know, it's just kind of a
routine thing, not a big deal. So often times when people saw
things out of the normal and occasionally these guys would be
out walking around at night. And at first that's what my
folks thought when they saw this thing.
But that didn't last very long. They were coming home on a
Galvel Rd. driving pretty slow, being teenagers and they see
this woman and she's running across this field, open field.
Their first thought is this is someone that that has wanted off
from the mental hospital. Because they're only we're maybe
four or five miles away and they're disturbed and we'll have
to tell somebody when we get home.
But about within 1/2 a second, they realized that was not the
case. Because as they looked at her,
they can see she wasn't like a normal person.
She was almost translucent. She was wearing this white,
grayish white raggedy dress she was running, and as my mother
said, she ran like a deer, but she appeared to be very old, and
behind her she was dragging a chain, like a big chain.
And said she ran across the field.
She jumped up over the top of the barbed wire fence.
She said she cleared that fence just like a white tailed deer
run across the road, run to the other side of the field where
the where the other field was at.
And she was gone. And that was something that
they've never really talked about.
They've just told me the story once and never could explain to
themself other than the fact that this thing must be some
sort of ghost, must be, must be demonic.
But you know, I've often thought.
Maybe this was the ghost of somebody who had died and
perished in that mental hospital because they also had.
They had some folks there that were pretty well confined, that
were criminally insane. The couple of them, I mean,
hesitate to even talk about the crimes, you know, on a on a G
rated podcast, but a couple of them had committed pretty bad
crimes and so in those days when they were clearly insane like
that. It wasn't.
The most humane thing to do was to keep them confined in the
mental hospital setting as opposed to expose them to a
maximum security prison somewhere.
So that's what they did. And so it seemed like maybe this
woman that was running across that field wearing these flowing
white gown, you know, looking haggard and ragged and more like
a ghost at a person dragging this chain behind her, looking
like she was 80 or 90 years old, but running like she was a, you
know, Olympic athlete. Maybe this was some tormented
spirit. You know, that was within that
region because this was an area that those folks would, from
time to time wander toward. It just seemed like it was, it
was in the right direction. It was an easier way to follow
what what really interests me about these cases, whether it's
my my folks where they seen this, this woman dragging these
chains behind her, she's ran across this field, or whether
it's these people that show up in these old haunted castles.
And So what are they dealing with?
Just like the guy that was the ghost that returned to my old
friend's little. A sod cabin or whatever.
They're in South Dakota all those years ago he had something
he had to resolve. Now, once in a while you do hear
about these ghosts being able to resolve the issue like this guy
just making this her father feel compelled to go down there and
find a stolen money and return it.
But so often not. These tortured souls, whatever
they are, seem to not be able to resolve this thing that's
driving them into this torment. Very interesting subject though
and I think it doesn't get probably near as much serious
consideration as it should. Until next time this is UFO
warning over and out.
