Ghosts of Newcastle and the North of England.

This is the first of the Paranormal rankings, this time ranking ghosts of Newcastle. This was inspired by me going there during the summer.

ghosts are all over Newcastle, according to various sources, but unlike most places, these aren't restricted to houses and apartments near famous locations. No, in the same way as New York and Edinburgh, most of the Newcastle sightings are IN the landmarks.

Partly so I can reuse this photo. Thanks Wikipedia.

HERE BEGINS THE COUNTDOWN.

5) The Lit and Phil: According to a sign I saw whilst inside the Lit and Phil, there are up to SIXTEEN ghosts that have manifested on three separate floors of the building. Now, some of these cold be the same ghosts manifesting as different classes, but I'm going to go with the figure they gave for this entry. According to their website, they "all seem to be linked to the Library, whether a member or employee," which makes sense, as it could explain why they manifested there in the first place. Apart from some information saying most of these sightings are audible only, such as coughing and pages turning without anyone being present, there is not a lot of information on these ghosts, but the Library is holding an Investigation night on the 27th of January 2019, from 9PM to 2AM, so you can check that out if you want.

4) Newcastle Castle: As you would expect from a place called Newcastle, Newcastle has a castle, and there have been sightings there too. These range from mists, orbs, mysterious scratches on visitors (Although, they could just have hit the masonry, it is a castle after all!) and poltergeist activity to "The Poppy Girl" a Class 3, possible former flower girl who was beaten to death by prisoners in the jail there. The smell of flowers is often reported alongside, or slightly after, the appearance of the girl.

3)  The Black Gate: With a name like this, I am not surprised at all to hear they suffer from poltergeist activity and other kinds of sightings, such as Shadowy Class 3s and a woman on a balcony who stares at people. Weird. Anyway, the ominously named, Black Gate is built on to the Castle, so some of them could be the same ghosts as the ones in the castle. You never know.

2) Bob Crowther - The Tyne Theatre ghost: A former actor who'se ghost now resides in the Tyne Theatre occasionally staying to watch rehearsals, always from the same seat, which was apparently his favourite. This actor was killed backstage by being hit with a flying prop.

1) From Sunday Night Mass to Saturday Night Fever: Saving the daftest for last, a monk who was buried near the LaDolce Vita has been seen dancing in the discos that have been held there since. I can't find any dates where he appeared, but due to disco being mentioned, I assume it was the seventies at first, but could still be manifesting now. He has been nicknamed Joseph the Monk (Though I have no idea why) and apparently dances in his Habit. Seriously.

Well, there's the list. I hope you enjoyed, stay tuned, even though there isn't really any tuning involved, and Happy Hunting!

Roll out!

Anyone who guesses the reference will understand which franchise I have recently taken an interest in, but do not worry! Transformers will NOT replace the normal articles.

Anyway, the reason I didn't do anything on here in the summer was because I needed a break after my exams. Now, I'm back in the Sixth Form and ready to start up here again. Maybe a  new video will come next week, but it'll probably be in two weeks.

As promised last post, I have a lot of Top Tens and stuff to show you, including one on Mafia Ghosts and a Local Legends (remember that?) compilation. I was also in Newcastle during the summer, and whilst there I went to the Literary and Philosophical Society Library, and whilst I was there, I found a copy of The Haunting of the Borley Rectory, one of the earliest true paranormal investigation books by Investigator Harry Price. If this sounds familiar, you might remember it from Ghostbusters. When I first saw it written in a Ghostbusters book, I thought the book, Harry Price and the Borley Rectory were all fictional! I stand corrected. The building itself is well worth a look, as you can see below.

To celebrate the North as part of their Great Exhibition, I'll create a Top Ten possible paranormal phenomena of the North.

So stick around, stay retro and Happy Hunting!

Paranormal Ranking!

I have been resting on my laurels for the past week, as last month has had the record amount of views on this blog! Thanks for all the support fellow fanatics! It's helpful!

Anyway, to celebrate I have dug out a Sony Walkman from the attic, and tested my Recording Device. It shouldn't be long before it gets field tested, but that brings me to my next point.

My fellow team-members have "Given up the ghost" (Pun definitely intended) with Paranormal Investigation, and as you shouldn't ever investigate alone (for obvious reasons) I can't do any more investigations until I find new team members.

Despite this, this blog will still be updated every week with Rankings of all things paranormal, without trying to repeat what others have put.  If anyone knows how I can turn them into video format, please say! I've always wanted to know how to do this!

Anyway, despite the bad news, keep those cameras within arm's length and Happy Hunting!

New Video!

Yes, a new video, but sadly not a new investigation. I've been having doubts about my fellow team member's interest in the paranormal. So, for now, enjoy this tiny update video.

It is\will be live at the following link:

A little message

Hey, Students of the Supernatural!

So, at the moment, I'm on my own here at Ghostguard. None of my former team members are interested in the Paranormal, but I'm considering this as an actual future during College. So, I'm going to have a break after the next two videos.

Don't worry, this is not the end. In fact, this is near the beginning. But be prepared for a break in videos again. Sorry.

(Also, do any of you know how to make your recorded voice sound more like your real one? My voice on the videos sounds nothing like my actual one, so I need some help sounding less like a twelve year old kid.)

Happy Hunting, and be sure to trust me! New members sounds like a good plan!

On Deserts, the CIA and Weather Balloons: 71 Years since Roswell.

Back in 1947, a mysterious object crash landed in the Town of Roswell, New Mexico. It caused a large stir at the time, the effects of which are still felt today in the UFO and Paranormal communities all around the world.

Everyone knows about Roswell, due to the media often comparing other UFO sightings to it, no matter how dissimilar they are. It was the first recorded instance (that I know of) where dead bodies of aliens were seen by normal people. It was also possibly the first time people knew the US Government intervened and the first time the "It was a weather balloon!" explanation was used.

The aliens were the standard "Greys". Three Three-fingered grey humanoid beings with no ears and very large eyes, each clad in silver suits, ones not too dissimilar to those used during the Mercury and Gemini space programmes from 1961 to 1965, only much smaller and with no helmets. The alien's bodies were taking away, and a video was released in 1998 showing an autopsy on one of the bodies. However, this video was a definite fake. Do not believe it!

Roswell is now home to the UFO Museum, where the incident is investigated. I've never been to the museum (Or anywhere in New Mexico at all) but it is apparently okay, although now lacking some information discovered more recently.

Who knows where those aliens came from? Similar ones have been seen all over the world, now piloting triangular ships like the ones seen in 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2016 to present. These original ships are the typical flying saucer, possibly an earlier craft as these are not seen often anymore. Similar aliens have also been seen in the Lonnie Zamora case, and the one in the English forest I don't remember the name of.

The case is famous, the most famous of the twentieth century. Now all we need is your opinion and some answers...

See you on the flip side, and Happy Hunting!
