Black cloaked figure

I thought I would share another of my personal experiences with you. Hope it doesn't scare you as much as it did me!!!!!

It happened when I was still living with my parents. This is just one of a few things that happened at my parents house.

I had been upstairs with my Mother who was doing some cleaning when she asked me to go to the downstairs cloakroom to get something for her. I got what she wanted, and as I left the cloakroom I left the door ajar.

The stairs were opposite the cloakroom so as I was going back upstairs i could see into the cloakroom. I looked across and over the top of the open door, I saw a tall black cloaked figure which seemed to have no face, just a black space where the face would have been.

I carried on upstairs and said nothing, but my Mum and my sister asked what was wrong as I was so pale. I told them what I had seen and my sister, being as interested as I am in the paranormal, went to have a look for herself. The thing that is even more unnerving is that she saw it too. It was still there when she went down to look. It took me several years to even go back into that cloakroom!!!!

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this?

Ghost caught on film in Scottish Castle

I saw this story today on the BBC news website and thought it made an interesting read!!!! What do you think?

Castle figure wins 'ghostly' competition

The winning image of a figure at the window of a Scottish castle

An eerie picture of a figure in period costume at the window of a Scottish castle has won a competition to find the world's most convincing "ghostly image".

The picture, taken in May 2008, appears to show a man or woman wearing a ruff, looking through a barred window at Tantallon Castle in North Berwick, East Lothian.

No mannequins are used at the castle, and there are no costumed guides. Three photographic experts have confirmed that the photograph was not manipulated.

Christopher Aitchison, a visitor who took the photograph said: "I was not aware of anyone or anything being present in my picture, only noticing the anomaly when I got home. I did not notice any nice old ladies wearing ruffs walking around the stairs!

"Some people have suggested it's just light reflecting on rocks, and one person suggested it may be King James V of Scotland."

Detailed examination of the picture shows it was not manipulated

Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, who has made many studies of the supernatural, launched the investigation a month ago. He asked members of the public to submit ghostly images for experts to analyse.

More than 250 pictures were received from all over the world, and there was then a public vote on which people thought were the most convincing photos.

Camera shy

Professor Wiseman, himself a confirmed ghost sceptic said that the importance of faces to our lives means our brains are programmed to see them even where they don't exist: "I suppose it could be another visitor looking a bit strange. Perhaps someone will come forward."

The study is part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival, and will be discussed at a one day public festival called "Hauntings" which will examine the evidence for the existence of ghosts.

Co-organiser Dr Caroline Watt from Edinburgh University said: ""Even though we had the public submit their most mysterious photographs, the images we received don't provide compelling evidence for spirits. If ghosts are out there, it seems they are somewhat camera shy. "

My first entry will be my most recent weird experience which only happened two nights ago. It was 4.30am. I heard a noise which seemed to come from right beside me. I turned around and my husband had heard it too. It was pretty loud and sounded like something plastic falling off the chest of drawers. I thought at first maybe my duvet had hit something off, but I checked and nothing was amiss. We checked again in the morning and several times since and we cannot see anything that would have caused it. This is just one of many experiences I have had and these will follow shortly.
