Ghosthunters ‘saw ghost crawling along road’

A TEAM of ghosthunters are to return to a haunted Lothians mansion after claiming they spotted a spooky woman with a broken back crawling along a main road.

Lanarkshire Paranormal investigators say they spotted the injured woman – dressed all in black - on her hands and knees as she made her way along a road in Cockenzie, East Lothian.

But after being helped to her feet the ghostly apparition stood up straight, thanked them for their help and then promptly disappeared.

The mysterious encounter came as the ghostbusters visited Cockenzie House, in East Lothian, earlier this year.

And the team have been so impressed with the ghostly goings on at the 17th century mansion they are returning for further investigations next month.

During their last visit, the ghosthunters also say they had other-worldly contact with a man who murdered his wife after his affair was uncovered, heard screams from a young girl and one member received a punch on the arm from an angry spirit named Edward.

In a recent report on the team’s last visit to the spooky home in June, Steff Murdoch-Richards, co-manager of the group, was reported to have gone to the aid of a woman who was crawling on all fours along the main road outside the mansion house.

The report states: “As he helped her up she was very cold and pale and, although she was crawling on the floor in heavy rain, her dress seemed dry and no signs of mud.

“She had no weight to her whatsoever and seemed perfectly fine once she was standing up.

“Within a few moments of walking away, he turned round and she was gone.”

In a video posted on the ghosthunting outfit’s web page, Steff adds: “I started thinking ‘why was she in that position?’

“She was crawling on the floor and it looked like her arms and quite possibly her back had been broken - but there was no sign of that when she stood up.

“And then, obviously, where did she go?”

The spooky encounter came on a night when the investigators had spent several hours in the historic house with guests and encountered a range of paranormal activities.

In the basement, the spirit of a man called Richard who had stabbed his wife Mary after being confronted about having an affair was picked up some members.

While during a séance held during the paranormal team’s visit in July, many people reported hearing a faint scream, while a ghostly presence going by the name of Edward began jabbing people in the ribs and punching one man’s arm.

Several people also reported sensing the presence of a young girl who had severely damaged her legs in a fall, while on the top floor of the property a number of different spirits were sensed.

The paranormal team is returning to Cockenzie House to further investigate the reported phenomena next month.

Ancient Aliens On Mars?: Ancient Petroglyph And Column Photographed by NASA

Mars Rover Curiosity captured again an interesting artifact on Mars. The latest image shows what appears to be ancient petroglpyphs engraved in a rock.

Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading. Petroglyphs are sometimes easily defined based on the culture, religious beliefs, mythologies, and legends of an ancient civilization placed on rock formations for their descendants.

Many ancient petroglyphs are thought to represent some kind of ritual language often depicting with the same archetypal symbols.

The petroglyphs engraved in the rock on Mars looks like as human figures and it is interesting that the same symbols are found in different parts of the planet earth created in timelines where the people could not have possibly interacted with each other.

2.8-Billion-Year-Old Spheres Found In South Africa: How Were They Made?

Spheres found in the mines of South Africa have piqued the curiosity of researchers for decades.

According to Michael Cremo and other researchers of prehistoric culture, these spheres add to a body of evidence suggesting intelligent life existed on Earth long before a conventional view of history places it here.

Cremo has traveled the world gathering information on out-of-place artefacts (ooparts); he compiled his findings in the popular book, “Forbidden Archaeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race.”

In 1984, while investigating the spheres, he contacted Roelf Marx, curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where some of the spheres are kept. Marx described the spheres as being about 2.8 billion years old, with a very hard surface and a fibrous structure inside. He found them quite strange and puzzling.

Marx wrote, according to Cremo: “’There is nothing scientific published about the globes, but the facts are: They are found in pyrophyllite, which is mined near the little town of Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal. This pyrophyllite … is a quite soft secondary mineral with a count of only 3 on the Mohs scale [a scale of 1 to 10 to rank the hardness of minerals] and was formed by sedimentation about 2.8 billion years ago.”

“On the other hand, the globes, which have a fibrous structure on the inside with a shell around it, are very hard and cannot be scratched, even by steel. The Mohs scale of hardness is named after Friedrich Mohs, who chose ten minerals as references points for comparative hardness, with talc the softest and diamond the hardest.”

Steel ranks about a 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so the spheres would be harder than that, according to Marx.

WERE THEY NATURALLY FORMED?

Some say the spheres were formed by a natural process of concretion. Concretions are masses of hardened mineral matter.

Some of the so-called Klerksdorp spheres are elliptical in shape with rough ridges around the center. But some are so balanced in shape and proportion, and the grooves around them look so straight and hand-carved, it seems unlikely they were naturally formed, say proponents of the theory that these spheres were made by intelligent beings.

In 2002, the Klerksdorp Museum posted a letter from John Hund of Pietersburg, South Africa, on its website. The claims made in this letter were not verified, according to geologist Paul V. Heinrich, and the letter was later removed. Hund stated that one of the spheres was tested at the California Space Institute, and scientists concluded that its balance “is so fine, it exceeded the limit of their measuring technology.” It was “within one-hundred thousandths of an inch from absolute perfection.”

Heinrich did not find the South African spheres he studied perfectly balanced and shaped…

[Video] ‘Extreme’ Haunted House Or Legal Torture? McKamey Manor Allows You To Live A Horror Movie

Warning the video depicts real encounters from the McKamey Manor. Some scenes are graphic in nature.

With Halloween right around the corner, many people may look to haunted houses for a frightfully good time. However, some are left wondering if a few “haunted houses” are taking it too far. McKamey Manor, which is billed as one of the “most extreme” haunted houses in the United States, has a waiting list of over 17,000 people who are hoping to have a chance of entering what is best described as “living a horror movie.”

McKamey Manor has been featured on Travel Channel’s Making Monsters and Halloween’s Craziest due to its unconventional nature. All participants must be 21 years of age or older to enter the manor, and they must sign a waiver releasing McKamey Manor from all liability. Participants are screened physically and mentally before they enter the attraction, but many of the tours are cut short due to medical reasons.

The attraction is not typical. In fact, it teeters on the border of legality in many people’s eyes. Is it okay to mentally and even physically abuse individuals if they sign a waiver? Is there a limit to what should be legally acceptable? In the video, we see a watered down version of what happens in the McKamey Manor. Frequently people can be seen being held against their will, hit, punched, bound, and gagged. The “experience,” unlike standard 20 to 30 minute spook houses, can last anywhere from four to six hours. To make the experience even more unnerving, individuals must go through whole ordeal alone or with one other person. Groups larger than two are not allowed.

You heard me correctly, the McKamey Manor “haunted house” experience lasts around four hours for each participant, and they must do it alone or with one other person. The experience is described as both mentally and physically exhausting. Though the house already had a low “success” rate — that is, the number of people able to complete the entire experience — the owners decided to up the ante and do an “experiment” to see exactly how much a participant could handle. Sadly for the first few groups, it appears the experience was too intense. Not a single group was able to make it through the entire journey without quitting.

Ghostly tramp blamed for spooky goings-on in antique shop

Has this ghost been busted? Owner of store where cabinets smash and pictures fall off wall thinks the spirit of a local tramp is doing the damage 

When a glass door in an empty locked room shattered spontaneously and a painting mysteriously fell from a wall, workers at an antiques store were left both mystified and terrified.

Children who saw the ghostly happenings ran away screaming and workers trawled through CCTV images for an explanation for what was happening, finding none. 

But now the 'ghost' behind the mysterious activity may have been rumbled as a specialist team of ghost hunters found that a tramp, who used to hang around an abandoned cemetery that the shop has been built on, could be haunting the shop and be responsible for the damage.

A picture hanging on the wall of the antiques shop appeared to spontaneously fall from the wall  

CCTV images show children running from Barnsley Antiques Store after a picture mysteriously fell from the wall

Danny Parker, the owner of Barnsley Antiques Store, called in GCUK Paranormal Ghost Hunters to host a vigil and investigate the unexplained goings-on.

Experts found that spirits seemed to be connected to the antiques.  

They also believe a tramp, whose presence was felt in the antiques shop, could be responsible. The man who used to hang around in a graveyard that was situated where the store now is.

Jenny Bryant, founder of GCUK said: 'There used to be a church there I'm told, and he used to hang around watching what was going on.

Danny Parker, owner of Barnsley Antiques Store, called in expert 'ghost hunters' after a number of spooky events took place at the shop 

'We had a medium with us who told us about him. We don't know what his name was but we don't think he was nasty, he was just particularly nosy.

'He was interested in what was going on in the shop so he was making a lot of noise and throwing ornaments.

'She did however seem to think he was quite happy about the shop being turned into an antiques shop and so he was just trying to make that known.

'There were also some children picked up as well and they were the ones being particularly mischievous.' 

Ms Bryant added: 'Hauntings can happen at any of the day as Daniel has found on the CCTV. In this case they are coming out of the history of the objects he has in the shop.

'We went in one night after hearing what had happened in the shop.

A glass cabinet was sat alone in a locked room in the antiques store

It spontaneously smashed, leaving workers wondering what had happened 

The moment the antique glass cabinet smashed in the empty room was captured on CCTV 

'We set up all the cameras and equipment and took pictures while asking for things to make themselves known.

'We asked questions and got a huge response. This was much different to what normally happens.

The paranormal events started last month when a glass cabinet smashed without warning in an empty room.

Further examination of CCTV showed no-one was near the object when it spontaneously shattered all over the shop’s floor.

Shop owner Mr Parker called in ghost hunting experts after a series of mysterious events took place at the antiques store in Barnsley 

Mr Parker, 42, said: 'I never really believed in ghostly things, but I can’t find any other explanation for what’s been happening.

'Since I’ve had people in who’ve described them as friendly ghosts, I’m not too worried and I think it adds some novelty and charm to the shop.

'They haven’t actually damaged anything so we’re just waiting for things to happen now, when the ghosts feel like being playful.' 

 Mr Parker claims since the first incident in September he has heard children singing the nursery rhyme Incy Wincy Spider as well as had pictures falling off the wall and statues spontaneously falling over.

GCUK said they believed some of the paranormal events were taking place because they were connected to items in the store. Mr Parker has started buying antiques he thinks could attract further ghosts.
