Angry Ghost Caught On TV?

Televisions crews, psychics and paranormal investigators have been flocking to a store in Gloucester, England, that seems to have video proof of the existence of ghosts.

After finding the store a mess one morning staff at Poundstretcher on Eastgate Street examined CCTV footage of the night before.

What shocked them was the sight of a ghostly figure of a Victorian woman pushing a whole pallet of goods to the ground.

A bit of research shows that the shop stands on the site of an old Theatre - The Theatre Royal, later known as The Palace. It was first opened in 1791 and closed in 1922.

There have been previous stories of a haunting in the building. One such tale tells of a young woman who, it's said, took her own life, and was found hanging from a piece of theatre equipment beneath the stage.

It's the ghost of this poor woman who staff claim to have captured on camera.

The deputy manageress of Poundstretcher, Sue Cooper, told us it's not the first time she's come into close contact with the apparition. She said, "You can often feel her presence, sometimes you can feel an icy cold. You can feel a gagging or choking, especially downstairs in the cellar."

There are links for the video and the audio interview of the Store Manager. I looked closely and can't really see the "Victorian woman" they are referring to.

Ghost Ping!!

[Larry Lucido]

I saw one of those once. I was staring at a placid landscape when all of a sudden a ghost came screaming out of the scenery. I was convinced.

[CurlyBill]

Ghost Ping!!

[Larry Lucido]

Did it again and again, too.

[T Minus Four]

I'm eagerly awaiting the punchline :-)

[Larry Lucido]

Sorry, there isn't one. :-)

But I did forward the pic to all my friends as a Halloween prank.

[ExcursionGuy84]

The vido is messed up; pixels go haywire about 12-15 seconds into the clip....and I couldn't make out any movement

Conclusion: there's NO SUCH THING as ghosts haunting places.

[sit-rep]

Boo!

[ErnBatavia]

Swamp gas...

[Larry Lucido]

"Used to work for NOPD until Katrina. Will work for percentage of ghost payroll check."

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

[Larry Lucido]

Boo!

Yea, that's the one!!

[Artemis Webb]

I watched it several times. It sure looks weird. I would be interested to see what an unbiased and professional film expert has to say about it though.

[proudofthesouth]

This poor spirit needs help and guidance to cross over to the other side.

[kidd]

Its an illegal alien ghost.

Doing the haunting that other ghosts won't do.

I can't tell. Are you kidding? Give the details if you would.

[Bon mots]

I saw a ghost in a picture once that was pretty spooky.

It was the famous Lancashire Ghost

[cripplecreek]

Sergeant Hiles was one angy ghost.

[happyathome]

sounds like a government program is needed. where's Ted Kennedy?

[Burr5]

Boy, is that ever a stretch of the imagination! What BS.

[cripplecreek]

I'm thinking that a passing truck or something similar did the haunting.

[Clara Lou]

My video was perfect-- no haywire pixels. The stuff goes over on the floor. Didn't see a ghost, though. The goods, from the video, could have fallen over all by themselves.

[Burr5]

You think making people wet their pants is funny huh? ;)
Well try this link:(and for God's sake listen to the beautiful song it plays with the volume pretty loud.

In case the link is haunted by gremlins, try using the search function on the page and just enter: Watch This!

[Dark Skies]

Good work in pointing to whatever is in the video. Amazing how some people can only sit and complain.

[TASMANIANRED]

Looks more like a giant atomic rat.

[lrb111]

Looks like someone in a burka has gone bonkers.

[Bommer]

As far as I know there is ONLY ONE documented Ghost photo! Personally I think its an optical illusion since you have to really look at the picture for a while to see anything!

[sourcery]

"Who ya gonna call?"

[Bon mots]

That's a very relaxing song. ;-)

Can you find What's Wrong with this Picture?

[pops88]

Yeah, that's what I used to think until I saw one. It scared me so badly I slept with the lights on for a week. I saw the person as plain as day, a solid form, that stood in the room for 10 seconds or so, then faded away. I know it was real and it really doesn't matter to me if others believe me or not.

[Ichneumon]

It's an angry ghost! No, wait, it's a puppy dog. No, wait, it's George W. Bush withholding hurricane rescue from New Orleans. No, wait, it's a bouquet of flowers. No, wait...

Give people an amorphous image, and they'll see whatever they want to see.

[Larry Lucido]

I thought everybody had seen these already. Check out the link it Bommer's #28. Or go here for another: http://www.geocities.com/patlee_69/BasementGhost.swf

Bommer, should I tell Taffini to turn her speakers up? (Evil grin)

[Larry Lucido]

Hey, it's one of the furry freak brothers skydiving with a cape!

[Erik Latranyi]

This poor spirit needs help and guidance to cross over to the other side.

Careful, this is socialist England we are talking about. The ghost is probably on gov't assistance already.

[Burr5]

LOL! That's just as good! OMG.

[BenLurkin]

I was hoping somebody would post that!

[Ditter]

Yesterday I found 2 old photographs that we took about 15 years ago in the Tower of London in London England. The first one looks like there is smoke in the picture, in the second one the smoke has shaped itself into sort of 2 human like shapes. No features just body and head shapes. When we took the pictures there was no smoke there. We were taking pictures of an area in the center courtyard (outside) where a sign said it was where they thought the 2 little princes were murdered. I have since seen on the History channel that they think they were murdered in their beds. At any rate the spot where we took the pictures is where they used to chop off heads.

[JusPasenThru]

BUTTHOLE!

[Bommer]

OH! So you saw the ghost?

[Bon mots]

All right. You got me!

But seriously, here's a really cool Optical Illusion

[Ciexyz]

I didn't know people still used the term "manageress". How quaint!

[johnny7]

The Brits seem to be too easy in claiming a haunting. I've seen that 'Most Haunted' series and these dudes call dust particles(orbs) a sign of activity. They all seem too high-strung... like psychic Barney Fife's... shaking in the dark.

That SCIFI show... 'GhostHunters' has shown some strange stuff. One recent episode had them in an old nut-house somewhere in New England. It reminded me of a place I was checking out near UCONN.

I've seen a real UFO... but as of yet... no ghosts.

[tumblindice]

"Elizabeth, ahm a comin'!"

You just about gave me the big one, Lamont.
shakey LOL

[judgeandjury]

Conclusion: there's NO SUCH THING as ghosts haunting places.

That's strictly your opinion. Every person has their own opinion on whether or not they think ghosts exist and haunt places.

[processing please hold]

sounds like a government program is needed. where's Ted Kennedy?

He only sees white elephants...

I like that show.... it sticks to the science. There are NO psychics and they generally try to come up with a non-paranormal explanation. Once you bring a psychic into these shows it KILLS the credibility.

[noblejones]

Ooooh man, that is really creepy! I mean, those are the freakin' creepiest curtain rods I have ever seen.

* chills up the spine *

[moog]

Looks more like a giant atomic rat.

NO, it's Martha Steward having an OBE.
