We live in Missouri and our house is in the middle of a forest, we share our home with 2 ghosts, one is a little girl, maybe 5 or 6 and the other is a tall thin man. The man likes to play with my hair, I get a chill then my hair is tossed onto my shoulders, we also see him walk from the living room to the front door. The little girl has spoken to my husband a few times and when our son is in his room, we hear him talking to someone, but when we open his door no one else is in there, he just says his friend had to leave, our son is 29 and autistic. I'm Native American and Scottish, my husband is Native American and English, I grew up on my reservation and I've seen and heard things that are really creepy. Very few things actually scare me

I remember being stalked by a short dark entity when I was a child in elementary school. I could only watch him out of the corner of my eyes on certain days. He would stand in the doorway at school and stare at me. He had a hood on his head and I named him the weaver because his hands kept moving like he was knitting something. It was really freaking me out in the library one day and I couldn't do my work. I thought about telling an adult but I knew they wouldn't believe me. So I prayed to God to make it go away from me and leave me alone. It did. It went away from me and didn't show up anymore.

There's a story my cousin told me about working in Disneyland during the late 1980s. The year before I was born, she was told a story by her supervisor at the park. One night, when her supervisor was starting, she saw the light on in the firehouse apartment that Walter had spent some time living in. She went up to turn the light off and as she was leaving, the light came back on completely on its own and a voice told her, "Young Lady, please don't turn the light off again, I'm still working...".

i appreciate that you're able to critically examine these kinds of topics without outright dismissing them. i really dislike anything presented entirely from one end of the spectrum (either uncritically believing things with zero discernment or practical examination, or stone-wall-skeptic denying things on principle without a shred of open-minded curiosity).

[@jmac6350]

My mom told me before she died she would try to haunt me so that I would finally know if ghosts were real. It was more about her believing and me being skeptical. So she said she would do a certain thing so I would know it was her and not some other random ghost. It hasn’t happened yet and it has been 10 years. My mother was totally the type of person that would derive glee driving people crazy and scaring them so she could be busy with all of that.

Same with my dad. Havent heard from him yet.

[@user-bs4wf9pe1s]

My grandmother told my mom and my two aunts that when she died she would run a finger down one of “the girls” feet to let them know she was ok. I didn’t know this until shortly after she died I felt that someone was around (at this point I didn’t know she was even dead….she died at the hospital after a short illness I came to find out after.) I felt a presence went eh no different then normal and went to sleep. I woke up to a finger being dragged up my foot. I kicked…looked around…no one. I was just having a dream how she wanted to travel with my grandfather(who died a couple of years before) I urgently called my mom and she started crying telling me the story how my grandmother would always tell my mom and my aunts if she was ok she would touch their feet. Then we called the step grandfather to confirm that she passed. The dream was bc she needed help..my step grandfather kept her on his alter (until he passed a couple of years later) instead of releasing her ashes with my biological grandfather (my mom pleaded with him..”she was my property I will do what I wish” was his response and then took him to court which she lost they were married after all) My grandmother is free now with my grandfather at peace wherever they shall roam together. My mom took both their ashes and released them where they previously asked to be released. She would also tell my roommate when I was speeding dangerously by throwing razor blades and shaving cream at them. They would call and be like can you slow down we are afraid to go down the hallway…the shaving cream hurts. 😂 I miss her spunk.

[@huchlvr]

Oh yeah! When we moved to the Chicagoland area, I did research on the area for my own knowledge. Bachelor's Grove and the Gray Lady from Orpah's offices stuck with me more than Resurrection Mary. I always wanted to investigate Bachelor's Grove (I love cemeteries, they're so interesting - esp older ones), but I never got down there and now we live in NC.

The Headless Horseman is as famous as the Bell Witch. Since I live in Tennessee, the state capitol is also haunted but only the upper rooms below the tower. When I was a kid you had free reign to go just about anywhere in the capital except the tower. I was actually chased out of those rooms by an unseen presence but could feel someone touching me to push me out of the room into the hallway. The door slammed behind me. A security guard actually saw me come out of the room and started laughing. He knew exactly what happened and told me it happened to him so he just doesn't go in those rooms unless has another person with him.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

We know who the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow officially is. His name in life was Heinrich Range, who was a Hessian grenadier who lost his head via cannonball fire atop Miller Hill during the Revolutionary War's Battle of White Plains.

I always thought it was just a story by Washington Irving, I didn’t know it was based on a real person! I am Australian and I have always loved American history especially the War of Independance!

Merwin in terms of his at-the-time modernized Connecticut Yankee education & chosen profession of schoolmaster as well as getting cruelly pranked by superstitious locals, Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt = Braggadocios blacksmith & experienced horse rider Abraham Martling, Katrina Van Tassel = Catrenia Van Tassel by name [Catrenia is Old Dutch for Katrina] but her vivacious niece Eleanor Van Tassel-Brush in terms of the literary coquette's pot-stirring personality, not to mention the real world fact that the Van Tassels genuinely were an influentially affluent family of the region).

When he parked and dropped him off he walked around the car and as soon as he walked into the cars blind spot he vanished....

Oh yes, and there are more. There's one abut a woman picking up a hitchhiker in upstate New York one winter storm and having a long and pleasant chat for miles before letting him out where he wanted and him vanishing leaving no prints in the snow. This lady was very credible and straight-forward in her telling, and quite believable. All is takes is one authentic story to make us know such things do happen.

The Bell Witch sounds like a demon rather than an actual ghost.

[@AriaIsara]

I was thinking something more like a boggart (household spirit or land spirit). In european folklore it is said it slaps people when they sleep or take the sheets away. It can live in the house or in natural places like marshes or caves. On google if you search "elemental spirit bell witch" you'll find an interesting article on the Llewellyn website about the theory that the bell witch was a land spirit.

Shadow people are a common observation by even people who have never heard of such a thing and are seen everywhere, around the world, even in homes. I think it has to either be an artifact of the human brain or something that is actually there but we don't yet understand. I'm sure many sightings are simply a misinterpretation of a shadow or something but most couldn't possibly be. They are a very interesting subject.

[@docfortune]

These are all great. The Bell Witch and the one about the lady who was followed by the poltergeist seem both easily explainable as someone with a grudge trolling the people involved. "Kate" obviously had a grudge against some family members and not others, implicating a scornful or jealous family member "haunting" the living out of spite or revenge. The one about Jackie started up when she left her ex. Then it stopped when they got back together. Then it started again when they broke up suggesting the ex was messing with Jackie to scare her back into needing him again.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I've been skeptical of the existence of ghosts for most of my life. Shared hallucinations, a brief glimpse in the corner of your eye, carbon monoxide poisoning, low frequency sounds, or even hallucinations caused before a seizure. The possible causes are endless. However a ghost sighting witnessed by my grandmother in the 1920's seemed to break all the expected explanations. She swore that as a little girl her family was coming home from a family funeral. After everyone got inside the house a ghostly form within an open casket set upright blocked the door. At first it was completely solid, but then over the course of an hour slowly became transparent and eventually fading away entirely. It was the only way in or out of the house and so blocked everyone from leaving if they wanted to. This was not a fleeting moment. It was witnessed by multiple people. And the area it occured in had no signs of paranormal activity before or after the event. I'm sure there's a logical answer, but that one always was a head scratcher.

[@GFY11]

I've only had 2 experiences myself. One was a strong feeling of someone suddenly standing behind me. I'm just thinking "why does it feel like someone I know?" Then I started thinking I was going a bit crazy but my friend sitting across from me suddenly said "I can feel it too" We say like that for a few minutes until whatever it was went away. The second time we were talking about my friends girlfriend and how her ex passed away several years ago and all of a sudden we all feel someone in the room. Like all of us at the same time and we all kept looking towards the same part of the room. Someone said "it's *friends new girlfriends ex) and out of nowhere the dog starts yelling and running away from some unseen hand and that went on for at least a minute Do I believe in "ghosts"? Idk but there's something going on that we haven't discovered yet. The supernatural is just the natural not yet explained

So as for the Tennessee ghost: - Is said the wife of the family made some of the story up. - Tha ghost apparently was mostly nice and compassionate to her. - The ghost blamed a distant family member. - The ghost slapped the children and others at night. - The ghost apparently poisoned the husband and killed him. - The ghost mostly identified with a female name. So... what are the chances the wife was crazy and killed her husband?

I am a life long Tennessee resident and grew up with the legend of The Bell Witch. There is something shivering about Adams. It’s a precious town for certain but there’s just something unexplainable there. I’ve traveled quite a bit and have been fortunate to experience many “haunted” locations. The Winchester Mystery House, Alcatraz, The Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans. I even spent the night in Lizzie Borden’s home but there is nothing as chilling as the country setting of Adams Tennessee.

That "Old Man of San Pedro" tale really screams of being an invention. From the many similarities to the guys earlier case, that was made into a Hollywood movie, to the many inconsistencies, like claiming theres no wind, while wind chimes are heard, and my personal "favorite", thats the so-called entity is described as an old man, yet by their own claims, he was born in either 1902 or 1912 and murdered in 1930, which would make him either 18 or 28 years old, when he died. Hardly an old man.

This was fantastic thank you!! I'm hype!

[@angeladetrizio9522]

Great video. I’m happy I found your channel. Excellent job ❤❤❤❤

[@tricivenola8164]

Thanks for this. And wonderful visuals! I think the little lady in LA with the Ghost Stalker simply needed attention to an hysterical degree. Love the Grey Man and Bell Witch, I am subscribing.

Brilliant content my man

My two aunts lived very near the cemetery, and my sister lives right across the street, and they saw the bars that were scorched and bent, before the bars were replaced, obviously. I've always wished id been there with them... I visited my chicago family often, and lived and worked next to the cemetery, and my sister lives right across the street, but I missed seeing the earlier days. I drove up and down Archer ave looking, but never saw Mary. But it was thrilling.

I love that Dr. Evil narrates this.

I’ve been to the Bell Witch cave, it was sometime in the 1970’s. Nothing happened in the cave. But when we were going back to our car the tour guide said some people when leaving would have car trouble. Their car would not start and after some time their car would start with no trouble. Sure enough our car wouldn’t start. My sister kept trying, but flooded the engine! I was crying and scared. After some time she tried again and it started and we hightailed out of there! 🤷🏻‍♀️👻

With all these stories it really sounds like some sort of trickster spirit who enjoys messing with people. The way the witch was supposedly pulling the sheets away or slapping the girl when she slept also falls in that category.

I’ve experienced the same thing when departing from an old cemetery on the other side of the neighborhood (I’d normally have no issue walking a short distance like that, but it was the middle of January), which contained distant relatives from the 18th Century. I got into my car to leave and turned the key… nothing. Tried again… nothing. I looked up through my windshield and at the headstones and said, “really??? We’re family…” I tried again - started right up.

[@donnalewis4895]

More accounts like these would be nice. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[@marniehenry6138]

I agree please make some more I enjoy watching your stories please do some more

[@alisonsavill8191]

I always apologise in a grave yard in case I step on a grave as you can’t see all of them as they are old ones that way a spirit doesn’t follow you home

[@lindadenneypu6315]

I do the same as I always show respect so do my children I've made ot normal to go to the cemetery to c our family members

[@veleouria]

omg this is the first time i watched this and didn’t fall asleep and i just freaked out cuz you did not just mention my town san pedro !!!! 😹😹😹

[@nicholasgiokas4939]

I live just a couple of miles from Resurrection Cemetery. I have been by there countless times, and even alone at night. Can’t say I ever ran into Mary, though. I also once went on a Chicago ghost tour that the late Richard T. Crowe used to organise back in the late 80’s. Ironically, he is now buried at Resurrection Cemetery as well. Can’t say I’ve run into Mr. Crowe either.

[@joseybryant7577]

If this becomes a series, and branches out to the rest of the world, I am begging you to include Gef the Talking Mongoose. It is the most interesting ghost story I've ever read. Yet barely anyone talks about it.

[@themajesticmagnificent386]

I’ve heard about the talking mongoose and I remember it freaked me out..

[@acitoneroyal6002]

I have never told anyone this. There was a piano bar at a five star hotel in downtown Fort Smith, Arkansas. I was employed there for years. Working in the kitchen mostly. When I went through the piano bar nightly, I will just put it out there that I saw a man named George Maledon every night. George was Judge Isaac C Parkers hangman, 150 years ago. I know what I saw, it is 30 years later, and I should go back to see if George Maledon still goes in there. I swear.

[@DefinetlyAHuman]

The bell with sounds pretty fun to be around if it likes someone... just not if it doesnt.

[@jonniemae818]

Very well spoken, thank you.

[@glitteryfaery5002]

wonderful documentary, I'd love to see a part 2, you could also explore famous ghosts from other countries, I know the UK has many as well

[@joegrande4848]

Great channel. Some educational videos. I liked the videos about the history of Ireland 🇮🇪 learning about my Irish heritage. 😊❤

[@cherylgroh6667]

I really really enjoy this video Great job 😊🎉

[@saltydog4443]

This is a very interesting story please write more.

[@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods]

How dare you! I haven't even put out my decorations for Michaelmas!

[@Fireoflearning]

My capybara and I do not commence Allhallowmas festivities until after Michaelmas Day as well

[@snapdragon6601]

This is a little different than the regular videos on this channel but I like it! I can't wait to hear the Halloween episode if you have one this year! 👍

[@nahkohese555]

The 1965 song "Laurie" by Dickie Lee was inspired by stories of Resurrection Mary. And, growing up in the Chicago suburbs, I've heard stories about her as far back as I can remember - before the Dickie Lee song for certain.

[@katfish4386]

This is GREAT. Love love love the historical elements!!! Well done.

[@jackiejermeay6568]

Thank you very interesting😊

[@hollyw9566]

I just read about a hitchhiking ghost in Mumbai, India.

[@insanedumpling123]

This is helping me get ready for spooky season 🥺

[@adrienebailey9010]

Your voice is perfect for storytelling. I really enjoyed this video. You do a fantastic job. I just found your video.

[@m.streicher8286]

I know you love history and I also love history, but your cryptid, alien, etc videos are some of my favorites on the site. These probably fall under the umbrella of history, but you know what I mean hopefully.

[@The1952trouble]

You need to do more stories like this

[@almanook3005]

Otherworldly experiences have always happened; all kinds of them. However, most individuals and even communities will keep these to themselves. I'm from Northern Alaska and I have heard many ghost stories. I've also seen some apparitions but was too small to give but a general account. In those innocent times I predicted things that came true but my religious upbringing forbade me to speak about it. I know of at least one other who had the ability to prophecy. We were forbidden to do it again and we eventually lost most of it. I sometimes still predict but I keep it to myself.

[@gregorymcmahon876]

Very good Ghosts Documentary.

[@henrythe8th155]

Almost every state in the country has some version of that first story.

[@kimclevers4989]

I agree there needs to be more parts to this
