Ever since David was an infant, his life has been affected by the paranormal.
Each of these ghost stories comes from David and his family’s accounts of experiences that they couldn’t fully explain.
To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from a real person’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.

Each of these nine ghost stories comes from firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.In this week’s collection, the memory of a long-gone building burrows itself into this witness’s memory. How did it get there, and why? In Jamaica, a tourist unknowingly upsets a ghostly resident, and one of the most infamous entities in Edinburgh Vaults makes its presence known… and is possibly even photographed. To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from a real person’s own claimed experience.

Each of these four ghost stories comes from a real home, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.In this week's collection, a family described being warned of a life-threatening disaster, while another case terrified home invaders so badly that they left empty-handed.

For nearly 150 years, Bodmin Jail was the kind of place you entered through those imposing gates, and prayed you’d one day leave again.

Bodmin jail has stood since 1779, and in that time, it saw almost 150 years of suffering before it closed its doors for good.To this day, people who stay in the now-converted luxury hotel, or visit the attraction, will claim to experience things they can’t explain.Could it be that the prisoners who never got to leave, are making their presence known?SOURCES📚 The History Of Bodmin Jail, by Bill Johnson📚 Haunted Bodmin Moor, by Jason Higgs📚 Peter Underwood’s Guide To Ghosts & Haunted Places, by Peter Underwood📚 A Ghostly Almanac of Devon & Cornwall, by Nicola Sly📚 Haunted Places of Cornwall, by Sheila Bird📚 The Hanging Pit: The Haunting Of Bodmin Jail, by Richard Estep💻 https://architecturemagazine.co.uk/2022/02/03/case-study-bodmin-jail-by-twelve-architects/ 💻 https://brian-haughton.com/ancient-mysteries-articles/anne-jefferies-and-the-fairies/2/ 💻 https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/last-man-executed-cornwall-strangled-6150948 📺 Most Haunted, first aired 2005🎙️ The Paranormal Monkey Podcast interview with Joseph Carter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq9ntAgqYuI&t=2s COME SAY HI!Instagram - https://instagram.com/dontscareclaire/THE LEGAL STUFFI don’t claim ownership of all the extracts, including images, videos and audio, featured in this video.
