  • The Cage in St Osyth is often referred to as the most haunted house in England. The former site of a prison used to keep witches imprisoned was later turned into a home. When Vanessa Mitchell moved in during the early 2000s, she would experience one of the most extreme hauntings ever reported.

    I generally like to alternate between stories people have asked me to cover and ones I just want to do myself. So, since it's been a while - What cases would you like to see me cover in the coming months? Throw me suggestions and like other peoples suggestions if you want to increase the chance of me picking that one.
    Thank you all for watching! Hope you enjoy this one.

    I have started to get annoyed with a lot of channels that speak about the paranormal. They exclude or fake information all together and while I'm a skeptical believer, it always makes me hate the story and I can't even pretend to think it's real or scary.
    But the way you speak on things, actually doing research and digging out facts that are so interesting, then presenting it as is for us to think on is chef's kiss, my man. Ty!

    I believe she did experience these encounters. As someone who has had unexplained experiences in a home I rented for a year in Killeen, Tx I too, sought help from a local paranormal investigator to help understand what was happening in this home. To this day I am actively researching the property and reached out to those who have lived in the home after me to see if they have experienced anything similar. Not everyone is after fame perhaps some were just so traumatized by their experiences they simply need some form of closure. It’s been 10 years since I lived in that home and the thought of my experiences still instill me with fear to this day.

I'm British and owned a 1600's house in Hertfordshire until I emmigrated. It was most definitely occupied by someone/thing else as were many other houses in our town and the many tiny villages nearby. It was just accepted, never investigated or spoken much about. I experienced some pretty scary things at times, and can recall them some 30 years later as if it was yesterday.

      ​@@TheTapeLibrary I have had one odd experience whilst living in Rue du Hameau which is in the 15th district of Paris.
      It was around 2 / 3 ish Am and my partner and I were in bed . He was sleeping and I was struggling to get to sleep because of the heat and pollution.
      I started to hear the sound of a horse trotting down our road and neighing .
      Well I jumped out of bed to quickly have a look from our balocony because in that area you don't have horses let alone people riding horses at that time in the morning.
      Stood there watching and listening and I could still hear the sound of a horse trotting. I ended up feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing and went back to the bed.
      I did ask my partner if he heard anything but he said no ( he was sleeping like a log.)
      I would say from my experiences is that Pembrokeshire is by far the most haunted place I have lived ( especially the 500 year old house in Prendergast which is in Haverfordwest.)
      Lots of things happened there in which the whole of my family including our dog at the time experienced as well as myself , it was very disturbing.

She also had a hooded figure stand over her whilst she was in bed. We also had sightings of UFOs in Haverfordwest . First time was when we lived in Tudor Gardens and it looked like metal spheres gliding over the feild that our house overlooked .
      And the other was in a Village called Wolfscastle where my mum called me to come and have a look at these massive lights that looked like that which are in football stadiums one night that Were not far from our house , I remember freaking out and I'll admit I started to cry . My mum just told me to calm down as she was more comfortable with the whole thing .
      All I remember after that is I started to say I don't want to see it anymore repeatedly and she told me it was fine and to go to bed . We both spoke about it the next day and looked around . There was no explaination for it .

I can’t help but feel that this particular case has more than an element of the mantra: if you want to make a house haunted, tell someone it’s haunted.

    That being said, if you want to guarantee a place to be haunted, a prison is a sure fire way to make that happen. Prisons are places of trauma, suffering, death, and malice. That kind of environment absolutely imprints on the structure, even after the prison ceases to house inmates.
