The lochness monster, nessy the most famous creature that has never been caught for testing but spoke of world wide, myth , legend or made up fairy tale, several reports over the decades have neither been proven or Diss proved, the legend goes on (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&sourc ... v4W6IjAjPX) could this actualy be a ghost instead of nessy the monster
Nessie is real... Some of the runners saw her during the Loch Ness marathon last Sunday! I know this is true as two of my good friends ran it and told me what they saw...

And I know them well enough to know they'd never lie about such a thing...

I believe there's something there too , that stretch of water is massive , me and the wife are making plans to hopefully do a camper van tour of the UK we intend to make a stop over there , shes been when she was younger with her family ( holiday when your a kid type of thing) she said it has such an air of mystery about the place it draws you in. As for the thred I'm hoping to pop one thing up a day ,because of it being October and such , im posting my story tomorrow about the old place I lived at and the ghostly apparition of the former tenant.

I took my friend on a boat for a fishing week on the Caledonian Canal but we stayed in the Loch the entire time, 7 days fishing the loch and didn't get a bite, or see anything other than the banks and the birds!! :-D

Most sightings are mainly happenings from being at the right place at the right time, something different, when my father in law was alive we were both having lunch in there garden on a small holding (4 yr ago) , its under part of a well known flight path a British Airways plane passed over taking off it was about 3000 ft up and we both saw a dark black ball flying around the rear tail wings then it went straight up so fast and dissappeared out of sight. My father in law looked at me and said did you see that , I said yes , he said if id of been on my own no one would of believed me , he then told me he had seen over 40 similar things over 30 yrs at the same place.

Think this is all there , I never heard back from the Royal Navy office , I thought I wouldn't ive waited weeks for them but nothing. However the old shop where this old chap used to spend most time in his later years of his life i was passing through and it was being shuttered up so I pulled in to see what was happening thinking the worst, I got out of the car walked from the car park to the parade a police car sitting with 2 officers inside , starring ,not moving ,just a cold stare ,many people just walking about in one shop out of another in to the next almost like it was a clock work run down housing estate, I stood there just looking and taking everything in , flash backs from 25 plus years ago , the feeling of whats happened here , feeling like a stranger in a place I once knew so very well, then a pat on my back , An old man whom looked like someone I knew but couldn't recall, his words were surprised sounding, what you doing here boy havnt seen you in 30 years it good to see you , I reached out my hand to shake his , I was met with a laughter, oh my he said we got some civilised manners installed into you then lad.. all the while this was going on I was racking my brain trying to remember this person , I then said , sorry for sounding stupid as I shock his hand I asked who he was , it was an old friend of my late dad's, oh my good I said I feel so stupid, he then said he heard my dad had passed and said I was at the funeral you looked at me and the other 2 with me with a puzzled look on your face, he then said your dad and us lot had a photo done of us when we were 18 standing with our arms thrown around each other's shoulders in the field behind the old mill... it was for me an oh my God moment, id finally meet on of his original old mates from years and years ago.. the first time too, look at you he said ,nice car (I had the 308cc) lovely looking wife , whom I introduced, and your very gentlemen like your dad would be disappointed... to which he let rip an almight laugh which made me crack up too, any way what you doing here in this old place he asked again , I said just looking its being all boarded up whats going on I asked, he told me the flat that was my first home (after leaving home) was gone bulldozed down back in the summer and 300 new flats were being build , I was hit by this feeling , back in the summer , my gut , my heart , my head , what's up boy he said , you look like you've seen a ghost , well not seen one I thought , but maybe had something from stan who this post is about because his home the flat I had after him had been flattered. . I asked about the shops as they were and still are being shut down , he told me the shop area was being rebuilt to modern standards , I then saw the chap who owned the shoe shop , he saw us talking he came over with a massive smile on his face , shook my hand we all chatted for a good hour or more , I asked the shoe shop keeper about his shop , he said its going to reopen in a few months all new premises, I then asked about stan , he then told me a lot about him, I bid both goodbye and drove the 2 hour trip back to where I live now , and here is my essay ...,hope you like, my spellings are bad in places but thats me ..thick..
Here is my true essay about a man that once lived before me in my first ever flat. I was a construction worker with experience in many fields of this job and could also operate any machine there was and I was only 19 yrs old , Dad would tease me about getting a place of my own so I thought ok let's see what I can do, even though I was working the money wasn't enough to privately rent so I went the other route , council, I went to the local office and did with there help register for a one bedroom place . So after a wait of a fair few months a place came up and I was offered to go view it , when I went to view the place it was amazing it was like going back in time , there were old wedding photos , navy photos still hanging on the living room walls, it was like the person had just gone out to the local shops for some supplies. The walls still had this light pink paint on them the wood work was painted with as the council person said paint that was used over 40 yrs ago , the council person did say it looked like it did when the previous tenant first took it , nothing had been touched, it was old but very clean and felt like someone was still residing there.

As we were walking around the flat I thought I saw a figure of a small man go into the bathroom , but I dismissed it . Then coming out of the kitchen and going to the bedroom I could smell tabbaco, but dismissed that too as I thought old flat might be the bedsit below smell rising , first flat won't be here forever as life changes and i will be fine (as you do to ease a niggling mind ).

After an hour or more of viewing and talking about the flat with the council person I had to then sign the tenancy agreement then the keys were placed in my hand (not like today its a very differentprocess) . The council person said I couldn't move in until the end of January 1998 I was looking at the flat on January 2nd 1998.
As it had to be cleared out and repainted , so with that I went back home to my parents , told them the news they were very pleased.
My late father then told me he knew whom lived in the flat and said how much of a real gentleman Stan was and how his wife died not long after they moved into the flat , and Stan had lived over 35,40 yrs or there abouts on his own , just him , he and his wife never had children because of the vessel he used to serve in made him sterile. His wife never let this get between them and according to a few locals she was a very beautiful looking lady and very kind hearted, Id seen there old pictures on the walls in the flat when I viewed it and they were both a good looking couple.

Stan passed away December 26th 1997 was a submariner in the royal navy was decorated with several medals. Due to the type of vessel he served in it caused him not to be able to have children. Stan married and they both worked in the medway towns for several years before moving to a brand new flat over a place called Maidstone in Kent.

The new flat was a one bed accommodation which suited both there needs . They lived a simple life and Stan made a few life long friends
One such friend was a shoe repairer or snobb or snobby shop, Stan as he got older would go everyday to this shop he would have his own chair and the shop owner would give Stan his lunch and dinner plus drinks for Stan helping out doing odd jobs and generally chatting with everyone whom came to the shop, he was a people person , I can remember seeing him everyday in this shop I didn't know who he was then but did after I got my first flat. He was always happy and always kept himself busy it was very common sight seeing Stan in the shoe repair shop he loved it.

I came home from work early one afternoon as the site was frozen so decided to go take a look at the flat as I knew it was being worked on, I was shocked to see a truck with everything from the flat thrown into the back of it as I stood looking at this truck a worker came out of the flat and asked what I wanted , I said I was going to be moving into the flat at the end of the month so he said come up and have a look.

I went into the flat and it looked different , it felt weird I felt dizzy it was like a panic I couldn't understand, then only room that needed doing was the living room and as I walked into it a gust of air went through me and the feeling of sadness, I looked at the walls were the pictures were and they were gone all that was left was the marks where they once hung up like a print used by years of sunlight blocked out by these pictures hanging for years on the wall, the worker said did you know Stan, I said only by everyday passing of him but not personally, I asked where his pictures were and was told no family left so they throw them away , this saddened me , and the worker saw it too, oh well I said I will leave you to carry on its looking good I can remember saying it but thinking differently about it too.

So I think I had 2 weeks to my moving in day , and passing the shop where Stan used to go too even didn't look right he wasn't there . Life went on work , work and more work , then the weekend came for me to move in , I didn't have much just what was in my old bedroom and a couple of friends helped me move it in. The first night in this flat was weird no parents just me , it was freezing cold , snow was still on the ground too, the small gas fire had been condemned so I wasn't allowed to use it and I was using a calour gas one ,smelly thing but gave out heat once it got going. March I got a new gas fire but by that time it was that warm I hardly used it . Thinking back to my very first night oh boy ..

The first night I was woken by what I thought was the front door being closed , so I got up to check it out, nothing but a poorly lit small hall way , poorly lit by a street light out the back of the flats and behind the church, nothing to see and just silence. Cold night and no sounds at all six times this happend on the first night. I finaly fell asleep . I woke at 7the next moring and work was off due to the weather being bad again ,back then the firm I was working for used to pay you £46 flat rate if you was put off due to weather conditions which was helpful. Here's where things started getting strange. I decided to pop to the local shop , it was called the circle k, I got a few bits cupboard stuff nothing cold becuase i wasnt due to take delivery of a fridge freezer a friend of mine was getting rid of , £25 not bad free delivery, that arrived at 9 the next day and it was up and running by 1 needed to stand for a bit due to the travelling it did, I then popped down to see my parents for a couple of hours and mum said stay for tea so I did, I then got back home (before popped back to circle k for freezer and fridge stuff) and when I stepped into the flat every door in the place was open, what I mean by every door was every one even kitchen cupboard doors , this happened several times , and to be honest I just shrugged it off, however the only door that always stayed shut was the pantry in the kitchen, So this day I put all my cold shopping in the fridge freezer then prepare my supper just intime for my girlfriend as she stayed the night , 2 am she wakes me and said she heard her name being said in her left ear , I just said don't worry you were dreaming so she tucked herself right into me so I could hardly move , the following night the same thing happend to me but I didn't say anything as I dint want to freak out my girlfriend. So time went on a bit more...

So id been in the flat now for 4 months with strange things going on but never said anything to anyone. One weekend I decided to see if I could buy a washing machine so went to town and got a deal on a second hand one £70 for one yr old used decent machine with a dryer thrown in for half price , so me and a friend got these both back to my flat washer in the car small tumble dryer the table top type on the car roof rack !

My new problem was , the washing machine needed plumbing in as the old flat didn't have this set up my then girlfriend said my dad's good at plumber stuff I will ask him, he didn't like me because, well dad's and there daughters I guess, how ever when he turned up ( Phil Mitchell type of bloke) I shook his hand and treated him with a hello mate how you doing alright like I do still do today with my south London accent (family on mums side) he set about doing the job and I was painted the bedroom with my girlfriend helping out and her dad came in and said , my tools are being moved about ..,we laughed , he then proved it he put a pipe cutter on the side , 5 minutes later it was on the floor outside the pantry door, he then said do you use that cupboard I said I'm planning on putting the tumble dryer in it and venting the pipe work through the wall so the steam goes outside, council had granted permission for it so I had the go ahead to do so.

He opened it up and this was the first time it had been opened since I moved in ... On the back of the door hung a coat with a cap over the top of it, on a shelf in this cupboard was all the pictures that hung on the living room walls. I went cold. Shut the door I said and he did,

So my washing machine was now all working plumbed in and doing what it was made to do, I used to hang my washing out on a small lime on the outside landing as there was a rope to hang the stuff on. I then though I need to get the tumble sorted , then my girlfriend turned up and had this massive big smile on her face and said , my dad really like likes you and he said if he was a girl he would of chased after you the way I did , I said to her shut up ... no honest he thinks your great . All of a sudden my front door opened on its own and we both stood there looked and laughed , this is when I started greeting stan as I then thought he wanted to be acknowledged. I then started to see stan walk past the kitchen window every morning I was getting ready to go to work it was never straight on view always when you were turning away from the kitchen window to put the kettle in its pad to boil up the water so half turned the you would see him, old dark blue coat and a cap , plus a roll up in his mouth this went on for weeks , to be honest I didn't realise it was him ( his ghost) see the landing had metal steps leading up and they always made a noise when people used them it always got me how this man every morning got down these metal steps without a sound, one morning I got up extra early because I've always had a very inquisitive mind , it happend a tad after 7 I saw this man I filled the kettle up , turned slowly to plug it in I saw him , I ran out the flat , no one there. Well I say no one there was an elderly lady hanging some washing up her name was Evelyn she and I looked at each other and said what's a matter with you , you look like you've seen a ghost. To which I did say back I think I might have . She made her way along to me and said what did you see tell me so I explained each morning seeing this old man go past the window and no sound on the metal steps , and told he about the other strange things going on in the flat and she said yes that will be Stan. I said I've got his coat and cap plus pictures in the kitchen cupboard (pantry) I don't know what to do with them, she then said Stan would go out everyday at 7am rain or shine and go along to the shoe repair shop , and vists to a few friends too. Stan was almost 90 very active for his age too . Then all of a sudden I had this idea , maybe if it took these belongings to the family that owned the shoe shop ( I was told they paid for his funeral) they might want them . I sat on the idea for a few days as other things sort of got in the way , till one Friday morning I didn't have to go in to work as the site was flooded , so gathered up stans belongings and went the the shoe repair shop, I was greeted by the shop keeper with a friendly smile and help knew straight away who's cap and coat they once were owned by. I asked if he would want to take them and the pictures and told him all what id been experiencing and he took them all . The next morning filling the kettle and turning to plug it in , I didn't see this man go past the window , 3 days 7 then 2 weeks nothing , one Saturday afternoon walking back home from a vist down to my parents me and my girlfriend were called into the shoe repair shop , the owner had hung stans coat and cap on the same peg he used to use and he also had hung the three pictures up of Stan 2 of him and his wife and ine of Stan I his full navy uniform standing besides a sub . He also had a brass plaque under the pictures of stans full name a same verse too , it was great and there was a warm feeling in the shop too. When me and my girlfriend got back into the flat it felt warm and happy , there was a white feather on the kitchen side next to the kettle which my girlfriend pocked up and said i think stans happy with what we did ,to which I said out loud your very welcome Stan. I lived in the flat for 3 yrs and after moving out I still see it when I go over Kent and always think of stan walking past the kitchen window everyday till his spirt got the rest it well deserved, but there is a twist to this , 9 years ago a cousin of mine informed me his friend moved into the very flat that was once mine all them years ago, he didn't stay no more that a month I asked my cousin why and he said he's mate put up pictures in the living room only for them to be in a pile center of the floor each morning , a month of that he went . So seems stan still checks in to what was his once home and if he don't like something he will make it known.

Plucky Kent

Once reported as being the most haunted village in the country this village holds many spirts, a hanging man , a woods that screams, run away stage coach , a haunted pub , spirt in the church not the liquid type.
When I was in my late 20s this was one of my last places to investigate my experience was entering the church a strong gust blow through me and slammed a door to the church which was already shut ! I wasn't alone there were 4 of us , we just stood looking at each other in shock. We did get photos and as I recall a mate captured this tall dark shaped halfway down a path in the grave yard. Not my video

My mate Phil just bought a new-ish Peugeot estate. On the way home the TPMS went off, then its been problems all the way since then. The decision to buy it still haunts him.....

Me? Actually, I am an open minded cynic. I question like mad, but I'm willing to accept there are things I don't yet understand.

There is too much still to discover in the world of science and nature, to believe we know everything. Imagine the first proper radio signals and voice recordings! Spooky at the time for some. What if the already amazing cycle of life doesn't completely end when our bodies (worn out through working on our Citroens) finally pack in? Antoine Lavoisier discovered that matter can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only change state. What if, (this may be a stretch for some), that some sort of life energy could behave in the same way?

My current C5 Tourer has tested my patience more than any car I've ever owned. The engine has been out, the transmission has been out, the doors have been off and so has the tailgate! It's needed to have the most complicated wiper motor in the world replaced and it eats car batteries. But I still love it and think it's the closest thing to a magic carpet ride that you can get on four wheels. So maybe I'm not the best person to express an opinion on anything!

I've seen a black ball shape , wobbly it was, it came out from a solid object then with a wobbly motion and spinning slowly went through a wall in my house into another room , April 23rd 2017 at 7.24am seen by me and the wife , havnt seen it since , no sounds ,no change to room feeling too . Still to this day wonder what that was . If I'd of been on my own it would of been hard to convince anyone what I saw , both me and the wife were in ore of this thing we didn't speak till it went through the wall, we even went into the next room but it wasn't there.

Not so good hospital news , so im disappearing for 3 days , here's the next 3 installments to keep the hungry feed 😋
10th todays

Blue bell Hill ghost Kent, this was one i went to many years ago we caught some odd balls of light on camera, plus an evp of a rather strange laugh , I will say it has a werid feeling to the whole place , and the emf readings are off the scale !


11th. Saturdays Epping forest

Epping forest, ufos , ghost children, witches, many dog walkers have reported seeing strange lights in the sky ,many heard children's laughter echo through the trees , shadow figures here's a good video enjoy.


12th. Sundays, Chatham dockyard Kent.

Durning my teens I worked here and can't honestly say I never saw anything strange , mind I you I didn't know much about the place back then but I will say when I got off a machine I was operating and walked away from it it did feel as if I was being followed I was riping old foot paths up with a 360 to set up new paths in the grounds there was 5 of us in our team and we were working at separate locations I was at the rear of the old rope shed ,it was run down back then not like it is now adays. But it did have a feeling like you were being watched
