The Haunted 'Her Majesty's Theatre

30/11/2012

Comments

 
Picture
Her Majesty's Theatre had its resident spooks. Jon English witnessed one ghost as he played the part of 'Judas' in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.

Unfortunately, what was once considered the most haunted theatre in Australia, is now gone. Sold and demolished, a hotel and shopping centre now stand in its place.

However, patrons and staff of a bar, which was built on the land the theatre once stood, have experienced some strange events...

Self Portrait as a Drowned Man

29/11/2012

Comments

 
Picture
In 1840 Hippolyte Bayard created his 'Self Portrait as a Drowned Man', a photograph with the claim of being the first to be staged (or hoaxed). It shows Bayard as a drowned man, propped up in a seated position, decay starting to appear on his face and hands.

Although not a 'paranormal' photo we will be featuring a range of fake, fraud and hoax photos and thought it appropriate to start with the very first staged photograph.  Plus it is a facinating piece of macabre history!

The Sorry Rocks of Uluru / Ayers Rock

28/11/2012

Comments

 
Picture
It is said that one should 'take only photos and leave only footprints' when visiting the great outdoors, and there is no truer place to follow that than Uluru / Ayers Rock.

Uluru is Australia's best known natural wonder. Culturally significant to the Anangu people, it is asked that you take nothing from the site.

However, this is not always heeded and bad things can happen to those who disrespect the site.

July 2007 a High School in Kusumgram, a small village 150kms outside of Kolkata closed due to fear of a local evil spirit. Toiba High School is adjacent to an old run down house in which the owner had died in the 1960's. The building is now said to be haunted.

After several girls of Toiba High School fainted in quick succession, it was feared the spirit had cast a spell on them. Parents soon stopped their children from attending classes and the Headmaster declared the school shut for several days.

You are travelling along a lonely road when you see someone up ahead. You slow down, and seeing that the person is in need of help, you offer them a ride. However upon reaching your destination the hitchhiker is gone, vanished without a trace.

Air Mechanic Appears in Photo After Death

26/11/2012

Comments

 
Picture
This photograph of the Victor Goddard RAF Squadron and its support staff, was taken not long after the end of World War I. It was captured just a few days before the squadron was disbanded. Everyone was present, except for air mechanic Freddy Jackson, who had died a few days earlier when he walked into a propeller.

The photo has captured the image of a young man (minus a hat) who was recognised as the dead mechanic. Did Freddy decide to appear in one last photo with his friends and comrades?

The Little Girl Ghost of Wem Town Hall

26/11/2012

Picture
In 1995 the Wem Town Hall (Shropshire, England) went up in flames. Firefighters struggled to bring the blaze under control and save what they could of the 90 year old building. An amateur photographer took photos of the burning building from across the street, and when they were developed, the image of a little girl was plain to see.

It is said that a young girl had caused a fire near this location several centuries earlier... Could it be her ghost who haunts this building?

Was the Sinking of the Titanic Predicted?

25/11/2012

Comments

 
Picture
in 1898, Morgan Robertson released 'Futility', a short novel that detailed the voyage of the 'Titan', an ocean liner which struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank.  Fourteen years later, the ocean liner RMS Titanic hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank.
There are many parallels between the two events, that stretch much farther than just a similar name and similar locations.

Did 'Futility' predict one of histories greatest maritime disasters?

The Winchester Mystery House

Picture
In 1881, William Wirt Winchester (of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company) died, leaving his widow a vast sum of money and a large daily income. It was at this time Sarah Winchester started building. For 38 years she built the Winchester House with construction only stopping on her death.

Was it her guilt at all the deaths caused by Winchester rifles that saw her build the seven story house?
Was the nonsense construction used to fool and trap spirits?
