[@ForeverMish26]

I love love love this! Great job John! To answer your description question, I personally have never SEEN an apparition but I have experienced things in different ways. Examples? When my mom and I were looking at houses with a realtor 9 or so years ago, we went to this house that had something or someone manipulate me physically, mentally and emotionally to leave the house making me nauseous, giving me tunnel vision, and giving me intrusive mental images of being injured in certain places in the house. Turns out a month later or so later, the house had sold and caught fire due to some electrical faults that were missed during the inspection. I’ve got something that often whispers or even yells my name into my ear. And finally, I have a friends who recently passed away suddenly. The one thing he NEVERE went anywhere without was his vape pen and he always had a strawberry scented majigger in it. Like every 1-in-5 times that I think about him, the smell of artificial strawberry randomly comes from nowhere and just hangs in the air for a minute or two before it clears away, unexplainably like it never really happened at all.

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and lovely response to our video, Michelle! It gave me chills reading about your experience in the house that subsequently caught on fire. What a lucky escape you and your mom had there. Sounds like someone was looking out for you. Oh my, that's scary having something that whispers in your ear and yells out your name! I wonder why it's doing that? And your friend who recently passed away suddenly...it must feel comforting to know that he is there with you still, in some way. That's really amazing. Thank you for telling us about these incidences. It's really fascinating.

[@NomadicTrio]

Great editing and loving the ghost story!! Y'all just keep getting better and better!

Ooh I would love to see father ignatius walking the hill. It would be creepy enough to see a hooded monk walking around with a bible anyway… let alone a ghostly figure!

Blimey he must have been what me and my friend seen back in the mid 90's while walking back late one night after being out on the lash ,some religious freak running cursing and preach banging on doors holding his bible , have to say we did give him plenty of verbal abuse which strangly enough he didn't engage back he just carried on running towards wensum street as if in a world of his own we laughed and thought what a nutter 🤔
