I lived with my Grandparents. Anyway my Grandad died. About a week later, l came home from work about 6 on a summer evening, sun shining bright.I then went to my bedroom to get changed. As l was walking into my bedroom, what l saw stopped me dead in my tracks. My heart stopped. Stood right in front of me was my grandad putting clothes into a wardrobe. He turned around and looked me straight in the eye, and said " hello James!" I was totally frozen. " he then said, " im ralph, your grandads twin brother!" (Identical). I dont think l could speak for an hour.
OMG!! Why didn't you faint?! I would have and not speak for an hour
OMG!!!
@@margiekinlaw4260 I had never seen before either. They had the same hair everything.
@@limpethead It happened to a cousin who lost his grandpa. He was shocked when he saw his identical twin the day after his grandpa was burried. I was with him. I knew he had a twin broteher so I wasn't surprised, but my cousin juste completely forgot about it. We were both 14 years old.
@@kamelryke31 crazy stuff.
Never underestimate what children can see😊
and animals
100%
Or animals
Never underestimate a child's imagination.
Never underestimate children period.
Strange indeed as when I saw Jason Manford in the pantomime last year, lots of people in the audience were shouting “He’s behind you!”
You beat me to it. 🤣🤣
@@bapsmcginty4782OH NO I DIDN’T!
😂😂 Great quip!
dull comment
@@paulmcdonough1093 Oh dear! No sense of humour then, how sad!
Not a ghost story. But as a child I felt someone sit on the end of my bed. When I looked up it was a young man, sat staring into their hands. Shaved head wearing a hooded top. Years later I came home from uni, sat on the end of my bed and started reading some text messages on my phone. I had recently shaved my head and was wearing a hooded tracksuit. It was the exact scene I saw as a child around 13 years earlier. It is my most vivid childhood memory. Strange world.
Omg, I've got the chills reading that. In the late 1970s, and newly married. My husband was due home from work around 10.30pm. I was sat in bed reading alone in the house. I heard what I thought was him walk up the stairs, then bathroom door opened and him going into the bathroom! Then it went strangely quiet, so I called out his name several times and got no response. I thought this is strange so I went to look. He wasn't there! So I went downstairs, front door was still locked and his car wasn't outside. So I sat on the sofa, my head spinning from what had just happened. Then 5 minutes later he pulled up in the car. It was as though his spirit had got home before him, or someone's spirit had!
Another time he had fallen asleep on the sofa watching TV after I'd gone up to bed! He told me in the morning that he'd been woken up by "someone" pushing and thumping on the back of the couch. No one there, he hurriedly run up to bed, feeling rather frightened by his experience.
This is indeed a unique experience...Seeing what you would look like after 13 years is indeed very rare...I don't know if there is a scientific name to this particular ability to see your future self, but it is just extraordinary....
We lost my Dad 6 years ago, my sister used to visit her mother in law at a nursing home and one of the residents used to come and chat to her and one day he came over and whilst chatting said to her could he tell her something to which she said f course, he told her that my Dad was watching over her and that he had visited her recently and sat on her bed. My sister got chills because a couple of nights before she had been asleep and woke up because she felt someone sit on the bed but there was no-one there! This man didn't know our Dad had passed!
Oooh, a time slip. Brilliant!
Sounds like a time slip!
Poor darling did not want to be forgotten! 😢
Day my dad passed we said our goodbyes and i went back to his house our family home . My dad was of ill health for a long time and we had the front room adapted for him all one level. I went back to clean the kitchen .I won't go into details and then settled on the sofa early hours to get a bit of sleep . Uncontrollable grief and sadness overwhelmed me . I was woken at about 6 am to the sound as we usually hear my dad feet patting across the kitchen floors to make a drink . I shouted are you OK???? Just to remember ..he wasn't. I was so sure he was in the kitchen
Later that day we took his van while I travelled back to my home as we set off
The overwhelming smell of brut aftershave and pipe tobacco overwhelmed the van
. Travelling down the motorway twice I heard in my left ear it'll be OK you will be OK
Miss my mum and dad every single day
A few years ago I did the very interesting Wartime Tunnels tour at Dover Castle, where there's an underground hospital, telephone exchange, map room etc. I just happened to be at the end of the line as the guide did a sharp right into another tunnel when standing in front of me was a soldier holding a clipboard. He was in ww2 regulation uniform (I've checked) and as the group disappeared up the other tunnel, he looked up, then looked straight at me, did an about turn, and walked straight through the solid chalk wall behind him! Dumbstruck, I didn't move for a few seconds but quickly ran to catch the tour group up. I wanted to shout about what I'd seen but never said a word. However, on an online site about a year later I found that I hadn't been the only one to see this soldier. Never forgotten it.
That's a projection. Everyone reports seeing that.
My 4 year old son once said to me “who’s that man?” I replied “ what man?” And he said “ that man up there who said hi” ( pointing to upstairs ) we were the only
two in the house .
just shat meself.
That ghost is sometimes seen in a nearby tube station, dressed in a top hat and dark evening wear. He came into the office at the station and told an official on duty who he was, that he was mirdered at the theatre. and that ''I cannot rest.'' As the vid states, he has been seen many times in the theatre, and has occasionally given the same explanation about not being able to rest. Poor chap.
Apparently he stands behind the staff when they are the locking gates at the top of the stairs etc.
He needs to give Bruce Willis a call.
I wonder why he can’t rest? Poor guy.
Ghosts et al, the ne plus ultra of archaic, superstitious nonsense. Read a science book and free your mind.
@@deannfrey3469 Lumpy mattress.
One night my brother saw shadow people in our dining area having a feast. Utensils floating in the air, faucet with flowing water, shadow people smoking and serving food and drinks like there was an actual feast. The three of us siblings heard all the noise of the water hitting the stainless sink, utensils banging on ceramic plates and like wet market vibe noise and we were in our room. My brother shouted in fear and the shadow people left without a trace. We went out of the room and asked our brother about the noise and he replied black figures eating and dining. Our parents didn’t hear a thing. It was a shared experience for us four siblings.
I saw a black figure with a friend. It was human in size and shape, with no discernable features, and blacker than the night. It walked through a group of friends sitting around the fire in the early hours. I had eyes on it for around four seconds before I lost sight of it.
I was an Athiest at the time, so this experience was quite unwelcome, though strangely it didn't spook me out.
My friend said 'did you see that?' and I said 'yes'. And then we carried on talking.
Amazing encounter! I've seen 3 black shadow figures. All these encounters were when I was alone in my house and at one time at work. I was walking towards an empty room at work, no one around! As I got near to the entrance of that open door, I stopped because I sensed someone was about to walk out. And a tall black figure suddenly walked out in front of me and vanished.
Another time, early morning! I was checking my hair in a mirror on the landing, when suddenly I went freezing cold from feet up, (it was a warm summer) Then I saw it! A black human shape to my left, and it zoomed straight through me and I instantly went even colder as it passed through.
Another time I saw a shadow figure, the height of say a 5 Yr old child! I saw it run very fast across my kitchen wall. Definitely not a shadow from outside or anything like that.
My granddaughter was around 3 and at my house, just me and her! I was sat on the sofa and she was stood in front of me talking about something. Then suddenly she just started looking at the wall behind me, and was frantically waving and saying hello man hello man! I asked her what he was wearing? She said "white" and had dark hair. But she was definitely pleased to see whoever she was seeing.
First time as a toddler she went up my stairs to use my bathroom, she peeped into my bedroom then used the bathroom. She came out and looked into my bedroom again before we went downstairs, and said "Nana Where's the baby in the cot gone" 😮.
If it was only your brother who actually saw these supposed shadow people, do you ever consider that your brother might have been playing a trick on you? Its very easy to make noises and wet some plates.
Same thing happened many years ago in my home, my dad had recently died and we were having a family gathering .There was an emty chair in the corner and my little niece kept asking who the man was.I knew of course.
I'm inclined to believe in ghosts just by listening to that; how can HE not? 👀
Very spooky story, isn't it!?
The Jack the Ripper RUclips channel hosted by Richard Jones tells the full story of William Terriss and the details of his apparition being spotted in the Adelphi theatre and surrounding areas!! If Jason Manford felt goosebumps up one side of his arm, that's usually a telltale sign that he's not alone in the room!!
I think it's tough because it's another person's account. Yes, that other person is your own daughter, but you'd naturally pass it off to a child's imagination running wild. People tend to believe when they've experienced something themselves. However, since learning the facts that would seemingly corroborate the experience, I wouldn't know what to believe.
Fascinating story.
There are many things which cannot be explained.
Sure.
Some things can't be explained yet.
But so-called "ghosts" are certainly not one of them.
We are all living ghosts. Our souls are our internal spirits. Life is forever in the spirit world.
👏👏👏 you are spot on ! x
no.
Absolutely! Our body is just a shell for our spirit or soul. 💙
@@Fightforyourdreams2024 .I admire your words. True our bodies are temporary shells that house our true spirits or souls.
i bet your great company
He used to haunt the Covent Garden tube station as well.
Or bank station. The nun! I saw her!
@@katrinkrispin9325Please tell us more !!
My grandfather died when my mother was only 7. Fast forward 40 years my brother was going through a really tough divorce. His daughter was only about 4or5. After my grandmother died we were going through her pictures. She grabbed his picture all excited and said "this is the man who's been sitting in my bedroom!" she wasn't afraid or scared apparently it gave her comfort.
My 5 year old son used to say that a man used to appear in my home when I was working nights..bloody ghosts 👻
Not clickbait. That really did give me shivers. Even me timbers was shivering.
Terriss' ghost is hanging about,then, after 120 odd years! Wow, can't get enough of this stuff! Thanks guys 👍
Please, more RUclips clips from Danny Robins' podcasts!
Its all made up
I was part of series 2.
This is not from the podcast, this is from the TV show.
@@bcasey3639 really?? What part did you play??
I've heard of this ghost before. People have seen his ghost at a train platform not far from where he was murdered.
It’s Covent Garden station.
William Terriss suffered such a horrific death but at the hands of someone he was trying to help? Sad.
@@racheltaylor6578Yes, the station was built over Terriss’s favourite baker shop. They think that’s why he hangs around there. Well, nobody’s seen him in a while though. Maybe he’s at peace now.
If your child says they've seen a ghost - believe them.
I think I won't.
yep
LOL!
Fool.
🤡🤡🤡
I was about 14, weeks lived in an English village and I was riding my bike to meet a friend on a dark night. There was a churchyard to my left and a street light ahead. The churchyard wall was high and the ground was level with the top of it. I saw a lady walking towards me by the wall and when I drew level I turned to say hi, but there was no one there. I didn’t tell anyone because it was too weird. A couple of years later, my dad came in one night and said ‘the strangest thing just happened,’ and described the exact same thing happening to him. Creepy. However, if someone asked me now if I believed in ghosts I’d still be reluctant to say yes, because it’s a hard concept to grasp.
William Terrace has also been seen on the underground stations.
I really think this show is excellent.
Most shows on the 'paranormal' are of the exploitative and moronic 'ghost hunter' type; or they are equally moronic with an agenda to 'debunk' things before they have even been properly investigated, which when you think about it is not very intelligent.
This show is both skeptical and open minded, with a genuine interest in the truth. Refreshing to say the least. The findings of these investigations are conclusive I would say.
I very much hope that this show continues, and perhaps even branches into looking at the real hard science on 'survival' , as Leslie Keans work does.
I believe he’s sometimes seen in the railway station nearby.
One time my mum was staying at my grandads house while he was away. She had my older brother who was about 2 or almost 3 maybe. It was late but he was still awake. Suddenly he asked who the old man in the corner of the room was? My mum absolutely shat it. The door went right at that moment and it was her husband. She’s never forgot that.
I don’t understand. “The door went right . . . and it was her husband.” What does went right mean, and whose husband?
@@Chavacandraw Yeah. I think it sounded better in her head.
????
What a great story. ❤
I seen a ghost on helvellyn mountain there was only me and my brother there coming down it was bad weather I looked back and a man was looking down at me in professional climbing gear I looked to tell my brother and when I looked back again he was gone I don't care if no one believes me alot of people have died in the spot we came down and no people were there because I went into all the places somebody could have been hiding when I seen him I froze couldn't see his face either
We are still trying to fathom the way our minds work. If reality is a construct, psychic phenomena could be the tip of the iceberg.
Love that..amazing
I think if you don’t believe in ghosts you don’t tell stories about them, but it’s fashionable to deny you do if your a celebrity.
*you're
What amazing accounts! Ive long known im not the type destined for gostly encounters. But I've never doubted their possibility. Frankly, im grateful most of these stories dont involve fear
Its one of those things whereby you don't or can't believe until it happens to you or your involved some how then you know for sure that these apparitions are real. Still, most will say its nonsense....we know with out doubt it's not.
That's ok then, just call your daughter a liar!
LOL!
There's an alternative to people who say they've seen ghosts being liars.
In most cases, they're not.
They do genuinely believe they saw something, but obviously either this thing wasn't a ghost or they only imagined it (dream, hallucination, etc.).
Very interesting.
And he never bothered to look behind him even though assuming he wouldn't see anyone.
75yr old female I beleive because both me and husband have seen them, visitors from spirit. Seen broad daylight and also in thee bedroom through the night.
How can you tell a story like this, say you’ve got goosebumps, have other witnesses including your own daughter and STILL not believe in ghosts. 🤦🏻
Because there's always a rational explanation which, with luck, we'll find out about in due course.
@@7ebr830No there isn't always a rational explanation. That's the excuse sceptics use. I'm 66 and all my life I have seen, heard and felt spirits. I wish I didn't sometimes, as its become overwhelming in the past. But I've been taught how to use protection on myself and stop the activity. It's worked well to a point.
@@Fightforyourdreams2024
I hope you realise that sounds more like you should have sought and benefitted from modern medical attention than ghosts are real. No offence.
The thing is, _first_ we dismiss all rational explanations, _only then_ do we posit the highly unlikely.
@@7ebr830 Not always. Once, I experienced an unexplainable phenomenon with my family. We were dining when we heard children running in the first floor of the house (2 or three max). We had a dog back then, but he did'nt react at all. We checked every corner of the house. No one. It happened twice. No rational explanation to this very day. My father told us not to think about it for we don't know what it is. He didn' give us an interpretation. He never said it was a ghost. The six of us experienced the same thing. Place Algiers- Algeria. Time : circa 1993.
@@kamelryke31
Let's think about this.
1. How were you (all) able to tell it was children?
2. I don't need a comment from you about this No. 2 at this stage, but I reserve the right to return to it in the future. I note that humans heard the sound(s), but the dog didn't. Dogs are said to have keener hearing than humans, so it is pertinent (to me) that your dog did not react.
3. What sort of flooring did the upper level had? I'd be surprised if it wasn't wooden - and there's good reason to suspect wooden flooring. Still, in a search for the truth, all we want are facts.
Just because there were lots of Boos!, doesnt mean there was a ghost.
😂😭
It's so incredibly frustrating to hear people say they don't believe in ghosts and then tell the story about a ghost they or someone they love and trust has seen.
How can he not believe in ghosts then go on to tell HIS ghost story? 🤔
Telly Savalas has a RUclips video about a ghost. Angels do walk among us
Theatre paranormal
Very interesting
Heard a ghost sing once 😮
Why didn’t he get her to take a screenshot of it or a good old fashioned photo?
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who do not, no proof is possible".
-Stewart Chase
"What a load of hairy old baboon testicles." - Me
A believer should require proof or (at the very least) subjectively sufficient evidence to internally support their own beliefs. Otherwise, they have no reason to genuinely believe them and all they're doing is playing make believe.
A person who does not currently believe may simply not have been presented with sufficient evidence (let alone actual proof) to support a change in their beliefs.
@@Mr_Grimbley Well said!
How about you try your own original thoughts, parrot?
When we die it is probably like before being born .
I've spent countless nights alone working night shifts, if ghosts do exist I would be the first one to be haunted or atleast see something.
Oh? How's that?
They do. I’ve seen one. A definite ghost. No doubt.
@@BottleBri That's not much of a story.
They don’t just stick to nights you know. I’ve had night and day experiences in two of my houses (my late father)
Not necessarily. I saw one as a child at night and my whole family was in the house sleeping.
I've had a few paranormal experiences.
he's going to get a heck of a freight when he learns ghosts are real
That's not bad for a conversation over a landline.
The iPhone 4 launched in 2010 with FaceTime video calling.
I've seen around 24 25 ghosts two were shadow people.ow and two large orb's and a glowing white cloud in the middle of them.
Define “ghost” - there are lots of entities all over the place that we can’t usually see.
"I had to do another 8 weeks!"
Saying you don't believe is fine but it's nothing more then personal opinion....based on personal opinion....how could he not believe?
*than
Maybe he does not believe in BS because he's a freaking grown-up man.
@@frontenac5083 again your personal opinion isn't evidence calling something BS is uneducated and presents nothing to support your opinion
I have no respect for skeptics who only believe when they experience something for themselves. Sad he doesn't even believe his kid.
Technically he didn't say he doesn't believe in them. He just said, "I'd have to say no."
I don't believe in UFOs, myself. And besides, that was a long time ago, and I was very young.
How odd that he still doesn't believe
I was walking to mcds 1 day with my then 4yearold she said mammy there's a lady walking up there next to the windows a look and see nothing then turned to say she's went in the window. Few weeks later goin in same direction to a supermarket named asda sheseen the lady walking in front of us then she climbed the little wall a asked what she looked like she said she's old like nana with black clothes on lol still freaks me to walk there but go that direction all the time
Why would William Terriss turn up looking like a captain? Can he change his ghost clothes?
For the record, he’s usually seen wearing the coat and gloves he had on when he was murdered.
It was his role in the play in which he was appearing at the time of his death.
I don't think William Terris would ever appear for a Manc
Most really old theaters have a ghost
I have seen so many in my lifetime. Even a young man that appears as a living person! For those of you who refuse to believe in an afterlife, who hell cares what you people think!!!!! I am 71 years of age and DO NOT IMAGINE THINGS!!!!!!
You would think they would at least find a photo of him with a moustache if they were going to talk shite.
Stuff like this isn't scary. It's encouraging in that it suggests that bodily death is not 'The End'.
After this experience it seems 'ironically' irrational to say that he doesn't believe in ghosts.
Guess he is making sure nothing happens too you, he is watching over you.
Uncanny is my favourite podcast. Ghosts are real.
The only people who don’t believe in ghosts are people who’ve never seen one
@@CarolFremel-my4hs True! Or heard one. Well, two in my case. Breaking up furniture to use in the fire for warmth.
They're not, though.
And you saying they are won't change a single thing about it.
As someone said, reality does not care about your feelings.
@@CarolFremel-my4hs ???
@@CarolFremel-my4hs You're taking things the wrong way round.
We haven't seen a ghost precisely because we don't believe in them (and we don't believe in them because they don't exist, if you wonder why).
If she was laughing, it wasn't because her dad was performing
Oof hahaha
🎃 👻
1:38 nope bollocks, just stiry telling ghosts dont do it like that
As someone who has worked on Sweeney Todd, it can be a really “ weird” show to be around.
Also, I spent a fair time working in London’s West End in the 80s and 90s, and William was a well known ghost in the West End- as is Archie around Drury Lane.
If he doesn't believe, why the fear?
I don't get this. So they were making a video call to each other and she saw the ghost behind his head? Could you do this on a mobile phone in 2012?
Anyone else think it was Steve Carell in a wig in the thumbnail?
John cleese ??
Why does he not believe?
He is not ready yet...some day he will
He's a grown-up.
Try to become one too.
Unfinished Business?
Didn't think of turning round and seeing for himself tho, ok.
And still saying he doesn't believe in ghosts,strange 🤔👻
'he's behind you'
Was he doing Panto?
Why is he dressed like me Nan
So what did you do about it???? Have a connection with him, use the connection your daughter had with him to tell him everything was alright...did you do anything about it|???????
I had a similar, frightening ghost experience late one night at a supermarket near my home. It was just before close & I was the last customer. A lot of the lights were already turned out. Just as I was paying up and about to leave a voice out of nowhere said, ‘checkout 1 is now closing’. Haven’t been back since
Why didn’t he confirm with his daughter if that is the man she saw behind her dad
Did you ask him his reasons for not believing in ghosts? Im not to criticise him - just to sew his thinking around it. Nit might be useful. But it will be interesting no matter what
Maybe that's because he's a grown-up man?
wait...that's it?
Confused as to why he doesn't believe in ghosts...
Really?
Let me explain, then: he's a grown-up man.
Well, I guess you haven't experienced anything yet.😊
I don’t believe in ghosts, as that presupposes faith in the fact without proof. I have seen one, indisputably, clearly visible, when I was visiting friends in Italy, years ago. Last thing I was expecting. I have no idea if he was a spirit, or a powerful memory imprinted in the house, but I tend to think it was the latter, as he was agitatedly walking up and down and appeared to be trying to listen to something through the wall, like an automatic action.
I'm getting goosies over here.
Hope we didn't scare you too much 😬
Come, get your ticket to Vegas!
@@EdwardKempton haha
It will no doubt be funnier than his stand up 😂😂
Many a true word spoken in jest... and you're not joking!!😂
Don't think it was possible back then to do zoom calls.
The iPhone 4 came out in 2010 with FaceTime.
I refuse to believe in an afterlife, but I'm open minded to the possibility of another dimension where images from the past can re-emerge. But there's still one problem with that... it's always lone witnesses who see these images, never groups of people, which would prove it beyond doubt.
Why is an afterlife any more unlikely than another dimension?
Also what I can never understand is clothing. Clothing isn’t alive so how can it show up on a ghost? Yet I have seen a definite ghost, full body apparition in an apartment I was staying in. An old lady sitting by the fire smiling out the window. A very kind looking old lady. I later found out that the caretaker before me (it was the caretakers apartment at Chillingham Castle) had moved out because he ‘kept seeing the ghost of an old lady, but I didn’t believe him’ ?!!!
You’ve not seen Scooby Doo then, that group saw loads of spooky stuff 😂
@@BottleBri you might have seen residual haunting (just past images). But active ghosts can project an image of themselves before death. Otherwise they'd look like corpses. So clothes are part of the image they project.
Groups of a few people have seen things too. Lots of people have had experiences with communication with spirits so it suggests more than just residual haunting (what you call images from the past).
No need for the background music
Typical, not believing in something that his own daughter and others have seen. If it hit him between the eyes he still would say he doesn’t believe. Stubborn fool.
You're the only fool here if you believe in such puerile nonsense such as ghosts.
And yet he still doesn't believe in ghosts!?
🥱
LMAO and he still doesn’t believe in ghosts.
