 The Port Dock Brewery Hotel is well known for it's resident spirits and fantastic brews.
Built in 1882 in Port 'Misery', this building has had quite a colorful history as a bordello, boarding house, offices and a hotel serving the dock workers, as well as those entering and leaving the port.  Balete Drive in Quezon City, Philippines, has a resident ghost which any local can tell you about.
Their famous ‘White Lady’ ghost haunts motorists in the midnight hours, and all have learned not to pick-up hitchhikers, or stare into their rear-view mirrors when on that road.  On January 15, 1947 a mother was out walking with her three year old daughter when she discovered the body of a woman, cut in half and mutilated, in an empty block of land.
Although there have been many suspects, the crime, known as the 'Black Dahlia Murder', is still unsolved. (Warning: Some content may disturb)  Shadowy figures, disembodied footsteps and a tap on the shoulder by an unseen person have all been reported at Sydney’s Parliament House.
Those who have looked into the buildings past mostly agree that the activity stems from when the building was a hospital, the morgue still located underground.  In 1953, a young plumbers apprentice was working in the Treasurer's House, York, England, when he had the scare of a lifetime.
As he worked in the cellar, almost two dozen Roman Soldiers appeared from one wall, crossed the cellar and disappeared into the opposite wall.  Built in Motego Bay, this late 1700's Georgian style building is one of Jamaica's finest and most famous. The building has a legend, 'The White Witch', who is said to still roam the halls.
Magic, ritual, curses and murder are all elements to this tale of human abuse and hauntings.  "Looking for a well-built 18-to-30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed" - this is the message Armin Meiwes left on the Cannibal Cafe forums, in the hope of finding a willing participant.
After several false starts, Meiwes found his participant and lived out his fantasy. (Warning - Disturbing Content)  On 19 September, 1921, the Mount Mulligan coal mine exploded, killing seventy five underground workers.
The reason for the disaster was officially deemed as carelessness, both by workers and the operators, but many believed it to be a curse or a vengeful spirits doing.  For fifteen plus years I have been looking into the 'shadow person' phenomenon, but my beginnings were not in the 'ghosts and hauntings' field - they started off in UFOlogy.
In this brief piece I talk a little about my thoughts on the subject, and present two people's experiences. |
