I've had several experiences since childhood. One that really sticks with me was seeing my friend standing in the hallway at University. We were in a car accident, and she was dead on the scene. I was super nervous about going back to school, and there she was standing in the hall my first day. It was both a jolting and comforting experience. As a scientist, I am not sure what I think ghosts actually are, but I know from experience there is something we don't understand going on around us all.
i understand exactly, im so sorry you lost your friend, that must have been so traumatic for you. As someone with an hons degree in Psychology and a Masters in Behavioural Science, i am also not supposed to really believe in the paranormal, but i cant deny real experience either. Very eye opening!!
My father, who is atheist, had a bizarre experience getting back home. While he was climbing the stairs he felt someone grabbing his right arm and he turned around but there was no one there. He got scared and tried to explain it as a some sort of nerve impulse in his arm but even he is not convinced with that explanation.
@@aneliaprodanova that's a very cool story! It's amazing, so many people would rather attribute experiences to some natural explanation that is very unlikely than a reason that is "supernatural." Our brains are such fascinating entities.
@@Camille_Anderson you're education in behavioral and social sciences mirrors my own. We want to come up with an answer, but these experiences demand using our imaginations. That is the only way we will find answers. But, it all begins with being willing to say "I don't know" instead of trying to stretch a "logical" explanation to fit the experiences. As you know, when we begin repeating explanations in our brains, our brains will adapt to change that memory to eventually fit one's beliefs.
I'm incredibly sorry to hear about you going through such a tragedy, and for the loss of your friend. I don't discount what you saw, but trauma must not be discounted, and I've also had traumatic events in which can cause you to see and hear things, especially so soon after the event.
I had a dream one night that my deceased dad came to see and said that I was going to go through some really hard times. He said my mom who had also passed couldn’t be with me she was with someone else but he would help me get through it. Woke up thinking that was a weird dream. Six months later my 6 year old son was diagnosed with cancer and my husband and I separated. A year and a half later I went to see a medium and she screamed when I walked in the room and said there was a man beside me holding me up and later said that my mom was holding my son and hadn’t left his side for a couple of years. I think not only are our loved ones with us but we have a path we have to follow in this journey of ours. ❤
My mom always said if someone who has passed comes to you in a dream listen up. They are there to talk to you and you need to remember what was said. She comes to me sometimes in my dreams. We both know she’s dead which is why I believe it.
I would love to dream of my dad and have him communicate with me. I would love to see and talk to him again. He died almost 13 years ago and there is not a day that I don’t think of something I want to tell him. He had a passion for genealogy and I’ve continued his work part time until I retire. Whenever I learn something new or interesting about our ancestors or find out his theories were right or wrong, I feel a deep anguish that I cannot call him. He would absolutely love it. He also never met my daughter which I also struggle with. He would have adored her and spoiled her rotten and it’s so unfair that she will never know him. I’ve never talked with a therapist about my grief, but after writing this, maybe I should. 🥺
That's fascinating. I wonder why he said your mum couldn't be with you and she was with someone else. can't she spare a minute? He was sort of wrong, no? maybe it's that she couldn't be with him.
I had a strange experience many years ago, I can't explain it and it was in no way spooky. It was completely the opposite.I had left home and was renting a nice flat in a nice house with my sister.She was away for the night, and sometime through the night I awoke and immediately I became aware that my room was filled with a strange atmosphere, not frightening but beautiful. I lay still in the bed just feeling it, I was afraid to move in case it went away.I had always been a bit nervous of spending the night alone, not just in this house but any house. My mind then start to go on the wander.I let it travel all over this large house and then outside where there was a high walled yard, and I realised that what I was experiencing was a total absence of fear. I lay in that wonderful presence and drifted back to sleep. For over 40 years I have remembered it and wished I could experience it again. I never have, and don't know why it came to be in tje first place.
When I was in my thirties, I wandered into see a medium, out of the blue, he had no idea who I was, he predicted and got many things right. But, the one thing that got me was he kept saying 'tears at 42… tears at 42’. Years later on the morning of my 42 birthday I got a phone call to tell me my best friend had died. Bad times.
My dad passed in hospital aged 78 in 2001 my family never believed in gohsts or spirits, they believed once your dead you are dust and darkness and gone forever. The hospital had put dad in a side room, they called me at 630 am on the Saturday morning. My dad visited me 1 05 am Sunday morning laughing his head off, he looked 26yrs not 78 yrs he said sue you were right about everything My mum did come for me and we can visit anytime we want, he said the universe is vast and we come frome many planets. And heaven is exactly as you describes sue even the review life room and the pink crystal healing room. I was the only one in my family who have seen and spoke to spirit all my life and had many NDE and seen and experienced heaven, my dad now told me I had described it as is.
I’ve had a number of experiences that I believed were experiences of ghosts, but when I became a psychiatric nurse I learned about something called hypnogogic hallucinations, which is where we experience the dream state whilst being awake. It usually occurs when we are falling asleep or waking up, but most of us will have experienced this even when fully awake. For example, you are walking down the street, feeling pretty relaxed, you hear someone call your name, you turn around but no one is there. This is the most common example of a hypnogogic hallucination. Once I’d eliminated these experiences I was left with only one experience that happened during childhood, and the memory stays with me to this date. I’m 61 years old now and I can remember every detail. I’m convinced that I have seen a ghost, but only once in my life.
Yes, people see ghosts when they are tired or drunk and we have a tendency to think that that state of mind means it wasn’t real. "Were you drunk?"... "Ha!". But, perhaps when our brain is not in its normal state, that is when people can see through the cracks.
That's funny...I went through several days hearing someone call me, even waking me from sleep. On the third day, I realized they weren't saying my name, but Sissy. Only 2 people called me that. I called my mom and asked if my sister was okay. Yep. Then I asked about my brother, who lived with her very estranged ex. She didn't know but assured me I was ridiculous. Later that day she got a call that my 12 year old brother was in very bad shape in the hospital two hours away. When we got there his grandmother passed Mom by, grabbed me and said in his delirium he had called for me for days. He recovered thank God, but I could never explain away what happened.
@@hazeluzzell I don't know what a Worthers Original story is, lol. It was a very strange experience, and my husband took my every thought and dream as prophetic after that. (They weren't.) Though I have never pursued such things, I have had enough experience to say I don't know how rigid the boundaries of our lives really are. In a way, I'd rather wait for the phone call like everybody else. 😄
I’ve been on ghost hunts and most of it felt like a scam, but when the temperature went really cold and our fully charged phones suddenly drained of power, the camera and camcorder batteries went flat, it really felt like something was drawing all that power and I was genuinely scared.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 My comment was 11 months ago, so I don't recall the circumstances in this story. A simple explanation might be the ambient temperature cooled. Ask yourself why there is a difference between the temperature of your oven when it is off and then on and the refrigerator compared with its freezer. Could you remind yourself that these are claims, alleged events, and you were not present? The guest talks an awful lot for someone who isn't saying much.
Typical reasons to believe in ghosts: 1. I sensed something. 2. It suddenly went cold. 3. My equipment stopped working. 4. We heard a strange noise. 5. Derek Acorah spoke in tongues. 😂😂😂
Speaking of technology as a tool. I lost my love suddenly and was devastated. One comforting incident happened when I picked up my phone, when it turned on there was a photo of my love when she was as happy as can be, smiling broadly at the camera. I hadn't looked at the photo for weeks and it would have taken me 20 minutes to find in my phone. No explanation.
I’m so sorry you experienced such a devastating loss, but I’m hope seeing her happy, smiling face seeing her photo pop up on your phone helped you understand that despite having lost her, she was happy and at peace!
I’ve had more supernatural experiences than I can count on my fingers and toes 😅 Great show , interesting to hear from sceptics on this topic. Danny is right be careful what you wish for. Many inexperienced spiritual people open their third eye thinking they’ll see angels and the like but an open third eye sees everything including the most terrifying demons. I would say I’m not a believer. I’m an experiencer. I grew up as an atheist. That reality was shattered when I was 23 when the experiences started.
It's funny you should say that, I have just embark on this spiritual journey and you are very right. I have seen in my imagination in the upper left corner a red devil head it took a few days to go, it has made me very weary of mediation. I am aware of protecting, you may think that I am a young man but infact my age is 67 anyone embarking on this type of thing seek someone with experience in this matter. Some people will read this and laugh but I know different.
My third eye was open when I was very young. I deliberately closed it tight after seeing faces on the wall talking to me when I was 5 years old. Perhaps I had a fever at that time but the only time I see visitations is when I sleep. However I always feel a protective presence during my dreams.
My mother in law was abused by her uncle . Her uncle would abuse her when she was sent for money for the electric. When her mother was old she asked her if she knew about the abuse, her mother said no but mother in law didn’t believe her. She passed away … Years later she went to see a medium in a group. At the end the woman called her back and said’ I didn’t want to say in front of your friends but your mother really didn’t know about your uncle. MIL went cold thinking that the whole thing was a joke lol - until that point !
I heard noises from spirit for years before I started mediumship, and the first time I tried to communicate with them I was laying in bed and I said if there's anyone here can you let me know, and a woman's voice next to me said 'im here' and I've never shat myself so bad!! Even now years later I still say to them don't let me see you or I'll never sleep again lol
Well, I would overall say no, however. I will add I have a good memory and can even remember a moment as a baby crawling up and down a staircase at my aunts first apartments. So when my sister was around 1, we visited my paternal grandparents. My grandfather was very ill. I was about 3 and I remember him looking very pale and while I was busy playing with toys in another room,he was chatting with my sister. A few years ago, my parents and I were reminiscing about that day. I said that I remember the room was full of people. Both of them stopped talking and stared at me. They then asked if I remembered who was there. I said I didn’t recognise many of them but I knew both of them, grandma, grandad, my sister and then my dad’s brother and his aunts. They then told me that only the four of us and my grandparents were there. Grandad had told them he could see all his family who had passed while he was talking to my sister. My uncle and great aunts had died a few years before.
i went to see a spirituals by accident because my friend dropped out so i traveled with her other friend who i had never met in my life. we got to this ladies house and i went in the room first the medium said a little prayer she then asked me could i be so kind not to speak to her all the way through my experience just to prove i'm not feeding her i said yes i sat with her for 1 hour and from beginning to end i was in total shock there is no way on gods green earth she could of known my grandparents names on both sides of my family my great grandmother who married away her jewish fath my friend who committed suicide on xmas day my fathers mothers and uncles named who are still living also my 3 children's names she was having a full blown conversation with the spirits as they were sat around the room next to me and through all of this i still had not spoke as you see i wasn't supposed to be there it was my friend who cancelled so i never told her my name because she told me not to speak. she finished turned to me and said well Debra that is your name isn't it with my gob wide open i said yes she then said look maggie your grandma does not want you to be worried about never seeing her again it works like this blink for me so i blinked my eyes she said that's how far the next dimension is a blink and your there and it's beautiful. she had to get me a glass of water i was literally in shock i have never been to one since i have never needed to i've got all the proof i need of that truly remarkable and if i may say surreal day❤️
I recommend you read Micheal Shermer's book. Why people believe weird things. I am sure it will explain your situation well unless you would rather stick with the story because it makes you happy. There is nothing wrong with that- your choice.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 I am unclear what your 'all that' refers to, but you could get a cold reading if you stand in the rain; your book would also get wet.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 We both know it is just a story about a story modified for our consumption. My neighbour told me her sister-in-law knew someone who owned a cat that could fly. Apparently, their toddler dropped it from the 27th floor, and it came back nine times. Legend has it that It even came back the tenth time in a plastic bag, carried by a lady from the animal protection society - nine lives were used up, and it was out of warranty, I suppose. My understanding of cold reading is the observer is trained to have heightened sensory acuity that assists in discerning gesture clusters that reveal clues to skilled military or police interrogators, cross-examining lawyers, and mothers of small children. You could present a real example because If you think magic is involved, I suggest you reconsider your standards. 😸
When I was a young kid I saw a woman in my room. Blankets would fly off me in the middle of the night. She looked like she was from 1930s. The feeling of waking up in the middle of the night drenched in piss because you were to scared to go to the toilet. The heavy atmosphere that you get when something just isn’t right. We had an old air vent in my wall and my mother found a photo of a lady. I’ve always wanted the chance to go on a podcast and tell the story. There’s a lot more to it. So many things I could point out which categorically proves ghosts or whatever they are do exist.
I hate these things! Especially the ones that target kids. I had a lady visitor, too, when I was still a toddler. Nasty piece of work. My mother believed me and the family tried to pin it on my Great Grandma, but the details were wrong. So decades later, I finally decided this was a malevolent entity. There were others later in my life. Nothing to do with ghosts of the dead (a separate category). I believe violence and dysfunction in the family opens a child up to this harassment. Jacques Valee and Mike Heiser describe these things well. John Keel and Peter Fenwick are good, too.
@@FortBaker2011 .. a woman harassed me when I was a little girl and she left when I was about 7. I was a real scared little girl because of her. Delia Morris
@@FortBaker2011 funny you say that, because there was violence. I’ve always wanted to find out who lived there before we did. Almost 35 years later since we moved out I’ve heard the family living in that house now have had experiences. Infact I was told one of the young boys described seeing a woman in the front bedroom. Used to frighten the shit out of me. Something that I’ve never mentioned but I can mention it on here and that is I used to float around the top of the ceiling around the bedroom and float down the stairs. Sounds crazy? I’ve always put that part down to just being a dream and maybe it was a dream I don’t know. I was very young, but my sister once said to me in a conversation several years ago. Hey.. can you remember when we used to float down the stairs? As you can imagine it brought a shiver to the spine.
My baby passed away when he was only two weeks old. He'd be 25 now. Ive got a photo on my phone of him standing smiling at my youngest son at the end of our hallway. Ill treasure it forever.
What a wonderful episode! I work as a hospital chaplain and just this morning I dealt with patients fearing evil spirits and witchcraft as a cause of their illness. On my break I tuned into your website. How wondferfully apropos ! It made my morning. 😊
I like this guy. Even as Andrew tries to drop little debunking digs at his stores he just almost laughs it off and shows his beliefs. That Grey area exists.
I went to a spiritualist church. My grandad came through and asked me to buy my gran a red rose on their anniversary. He had done this every year for 59 years. He had passed about 4 months earlier. I bought my gran the red rose and she burst out crying and asked me how did I know? Told her the story and we both found it incredibly comforting and special and something I will never forget.
I saw a medium with friends and family at her place of business. No medicine cabinets and no research. This woman knew things about us that nobody would know. She personally described my father as my visiter as a big presence that insists on going first. Said, 'Stop lally gagging' which I grew up hearing from my father all the time. I haven't heard anyone since my father who had use this term. There was more but it felt very personal and I felt great about the experience. As did everyone. One person lost a child prebirth and the medium said ' The girl is here and wasn't ready to be born yet, but she will be born' short time later that friend got pregnant again and had a baby girl. My brother had to put his dog down due to disease and couldn't be trusted around the baby..She said the dog thanked him and was thankful for being a good owner. She said my sister was a healer, and my sister is a nurse. She warned a friend to change the tire on her vehicle because something was going to happen. The day before her husband and her were discussing it. I Believe
The most scary ghost stories imo, are when you don’t really see the ghost you feel they’re around or hear them. The Movie really old The Haunting gave me the chills.
That’s the only thriller film that made me think years after and I can’t forget it. (I’m an elder millennial, born in ‘86 so a 90s kid). The 80s-90s have the best movies, I think.
I had that happen but it was cold that encircled me like a freezer when it was 90+ degrees outside. It was in the garden area of an old Spanish Mission in San Fernando, California. And then the same day there was a picture of the White Lady in the Valley Times with her arms around a wedding couple in the same garden area. I was told by a Spanish person from the area that it was a blessing to have her do that.
I met someone who I think might have been a spirit just two days ago! This was by far not my first experience of that nature. There is far more going on between Heaven and Earth than we will ever know!
Hey Andrew, this On The Edge video was the only on my feed this morning- and I'm so glad. A great guest, very funny with an interesting topic. You really should have more subs
When I was stationed in Germany back in the late 1970's, I was renting a room from an elderly German couple. They rented two rooms on the 2nd floor of their house. My buddies told me when I moved there that the place was haunted, but I didn't believe in that stuff so I moved there anyway. One night I came out of the bathroom, went into my room closed the door and locked it. The room was divided by a big closet type thing. The Germans called it a shrunk. Anyway I cut the light off and walked around to the bed where my wife was. I sat on the edge of the bed and all of a sudden the light snapped back on. The light switch was the older design. It was on a heavy spring. You couldn't get it accidentally stuck between on and off. It was a very clear "Snap!", when it was turned off or on. Plus it took some intentional force to switch it in the up/down position. I eventually went around and checked. The door was still locked but the switch was in the up position. The lock was the old skeleton key type, so if someone put a key in the other side, it would have pushed my key out onto the floor. My key was still in the lock. Another incident happened at night. We were in bed. It was about 2am. There was a very heavy round ashtray on the coffee table, about 6 inches in diameter. All of a sudden it made the sound as if it was placed on its side then knocked over and spun down to the table. It was a very freaky moment because the ashtray was very heavy. It was an ashtray someone had taken from one of the local clubs. It was there when I moved in. I never could figure out what could have caused either event, other than bonified paranormal activity. Many other things happened in that house while I lived there. This is just a couple, but it made a believer out of me.
Andrew.... Phenomenal. Absolutely loved this interview with Danny. You both brought quite a smile to my face because I could relate to both of you and your feelings. I feel like Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch not because of Katie Holmes but because of Andrew Gold's great interviews. This one was spot on. Simply loved both you and Danny !!!!
I have had several encounters with ghosts. A decade ago I had an entity squeeze my left shoulder as I was about to leave my in-laws house on Christmas Eve.
Thank you guys so much. I've really enjoyed your chat ❗Thank you so much for all the great movie titles to watch. I will also like to mention that I too have experienced sleep paralysis. It scares the heck out of me and of course I never want to experience it again. 😯
I went to see a medium, recommended by a friend. She said, my dad is here, he's saying thanks for the great send off but you didn't do what I requested. That was absolutely true. Then my mother came through, she said, your mother is saying your older sister took on lead executor of the will and your mother isn't very happy about that. Absolutely true again. There was a lot more she said that was spot one. I'd never met this woman before, it blew my mind away.
A friend of mine rented a house for the weekend for a large group party and she was deeply traumatised by the multitude of inexplicable events that occurred, to the level that she didn't speak about it for 2 years.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 There are certainly some people who need more discernment when evaluating fact from fiction. Ignorance of facts does not mean being stupid because an individual may require appropriate knowledge to analyse certain information. This guest is marketing nonsense that appeals to people with zero scientific knowledge, which aligns with the quality and tone of the comments here.
@@VaughanMcCue If you do not feel connected to the spiritual world, just say so. If you felt it, you would not question it. It is a knowing. We know. You can be discerning but there is no need. These are no hallucinations. We don't need to pretend it's something else because science hasn't caught up yet so we have to choose the only option they have. We know as they have known for millennia.
I'm not denying the supernatural, but, If you define contacting “the dead” as an entity that was once a living human being... how do you know that's exactly who it is? If it's a genuine supernatural interaction could it be something malevolent? Could a malevolent entity/personage be playing your desire for contact as an opportunity for spiritual deception?
One of my relatives did spiritual deception with an alcohol display cabinet at his bar. Filled display bottles with cold tea and anything else to spoil the plunderer's fun. Galliano vanilla was bottled at the urinal, of course.
That’s exactly what I believe it is and the Bible seems to be clear on forbidding divination, witchcraft, sorcery etc. my belief is that so called ghosts only occur after an occult/black magic ritual (or say where that has been performed) as opposed to being something naturally occurring. Christopher Lee alludes to this (particularly rituals performed on “consecrated ground”) in one of his talks about the occult - on which he is supposedly a major authority due to having the biggest library of occult books 🤷♂️. Long story short, *i.m.o.* its never a benevolent spirit by definition of how it has come to interact with the mortal realm.
Love Danny Robins! I’m addicted to his Uncanny podcast…..I’m definitely team believer. Had 2 experiences that couldn’t possible be explained. Was. So excited to watch the new series on TV! 👻👻👻👻🖤
I use to believe and followed loads of ghost channels and then I discovered a debunker called The Shape who debunked most of my favourite channels lol. Then my mum passed last year and I use to beg her to give me a sign or move something and nothing ever happened when asking but then on other days I could be sitting and something would fall in the kitchen or something would be moved when i was home alone. I just truly think that my mum would be in contact lots if she could so abit confused on what to believe.
I think things just get tested. the rational way is easier because it's less scary and closes the 'portal', makes you less sensitive and less open. you can sleep at night. i asked my mum for a specific sign but nada. I still believe, though. I wonder if she reincarnated as I sort of wanted her to, into a better childhood home where her parents would love her and she would be educated.
I have good contact with my husband who passed during the 1st wave of covid. I've been that way inclined for years, and it takes a lot of practice & paying attention to the quiet side of yourself.... My husband directed me to read 'What Dreams Have Come' via Amazon, by the director who also made the film with Robin Williams, 'What Dreams May Come' - shows you how they are trying to communicate but our grief & fear gets in the way...also gives some idea of how life can work after passing. When we ask for help/signs, we often dismiss those very signs. I know!! It's taken me decades to trust my own 'inner hearing', etc etc. As for malevolent types, I deal with those, but in general, keep away from anything that gives you the creeps.
My personal story was driving to my cousins funeral. I stopped at a cafe for coffee and cake in a big old building I'd always wanted to try. I was surprised because there were holloween decorations up and it was January and thought it was odd. Christmas decorations I'd have understood. There was little food on offer and the service was slow. Only one other couple there. So my treat was a bit disappointing. Told the story when I got home and everyone kept telling me the building had burnt down in November. Of course I knew they were lying, had the wrong house etc. But turns out I was wrong (sorta) as I can remember the lemon cake and the tepid tea as well as the decorations, the large and very tidy but slow waitress ...in the burnt down house.
This was a fun listen. I like his humour. The strongest encounter I had was while I was going through a miscarriage. I wasn't very far along at all, so it was like having a very heavy period. My husband offered to stay home with me as he was on night shift, but I told him there wasn't any point. I woke up at around 3am to hear footsteps running down the stairs (we use the main floor - the house was over 100 years old at the time, and my husband is the 3rd generation to own it). The footsteps ran down the stairs, stopped in the hallway across from our bedroom, then ran back up the stairs. It happened 3 times, but the last time, the footsteps stopped at the edge of the doorway. While this was happening, I cowered under the covers, then finally screamed out they weren't invited here and they need to move on. The rest of that week I stayed with my aunt. This was many years ago. We still have things happen - someone walks around and we assume it's whomever isn't in the kitchen, but the person is either asleep, in the bathroom, or outside. And we hear our name called (that experience is mostly my husband's, though).
I also get sleep paralysis. At least I used to. I read something somewhere that said it usually happens if you fall asleep on your back and your body falls asleep before your brain does and a chemical is released. Something to that effect. But the point is, if you try not to fall asleep on your back-it happens alot less. I found this to work for me.
@@angelajerram840 I did too. Sometimes I will wake up from a bad dream and realize I had turned to be on my back in my sleep. It’s weird how that works in your brain.
I have not seen a ghost but have had warnings, fast flashes that have saved my life. I was able to focus, remained calm and got through it more then once. 🤷🏼♀️
Sometimes we see something, and the synaptic connection may feel like a long time later, even though it is milliseconds. You might see it; tick tick tick, then we become conscious of it. Your automatic brain is taking over before you are strictly conscious. Amber Guyger, of Dallas, TX, is in the cooler now because her brain played a trick on her. Like the policewoman who killed a guy in her apartment, she came home tired, entered with her gun ready as the door was slightly open (I think) and saw him, larger that life. Bang! Then looked around and discovered she had gone into his place instead. A terribly sad outcome because most of us might see it as an accident with twisted but legitimate mitigating circumstances.
What about ‘us’ who have had ‘ghostly’ experiences? My dad turned up one night after he died and warned me that my sister was misinterpreting his will. I subsequently found this to be true. I’ve had my pet cats jump on my bed at night after they died……..I could go on. It seems, if you have these experiences, you are willing to believe but if you haven’t, then you are more likely to disbelieve.
How fascinating! I had a benign sort of experience, I'll assume some sort of "ghost," at a trailer I moved into with my toddler. The first time I experienced (I will call it "him" to keep it more human) his presence I had gone to bed but was not asleep yet. I felt something rubbing against the foot of the bed and around to the opposite side where I lay facing away. I felt what seemed like it must have been my toddler sneaking into bed. Then it was still, and I lay there smiling, thinking the baby had tried to sneak into my bed. When I rolled over, there was no one there. I got up and looked around the room then went to my toddler's room and he lay there in his bed sleeping. I thought it was weird, but not scarry. However, when this continued to happen I began to feel threatened. I would yell out, "Stop that, you are scarring me!" But then my cooler head decided it was not hurting me nor threatening me so I would ignore it and grew quite used to it. Interestingly, this was the house where my electric bill jumped two months in a row using over a month's worth of electricity in one night. I was working with the electric company to find out what it was after the first double bill occurred, but in the end found nothing and, of course, had to pay the bills. I have never heard before that there could be any connection to a "spirit" and electricity surges. When I moved into my "new" house months later, I found myself missing my little ghost. I have thought it could be a small child (age 2 or 3) that had died or a pet and that they were lonely. I live in a very small community, and if there had been a tragic death of a child there in that trailer, the whole town would have known, but that was not the case. So who my little "friend" was, I will never know.
I had a scary experience it was a cold November night I was a 11 year old boy and it was a Thursday how I know it was Thursday because I was on my way to scouts the scout hut was down a dark alley ,the building was dark( it also was known to be in a place where hauntings happen) So I didn't fancy standing in the dark waiting so I decided to wait under a street light near the entrance and sat on a wall as I waited I was joined by another scout and another so here we where all 3 of us when another school mate came up to us on his bike (he wasn't in scouts) and while we waited we where all chatting when I picked up a stick and was twinging it against his spokes on his bike and in front of the 4 of us the stick changed into a lizard about a foot long and gripped the boys bike he raced away screaming the three of us where shocked because in the UK in November, a Lizard is not something you see and yet even today I still do not know what the hell we saw that night but some 40 years later I can still see that dam lizard
I've had experiences that many would class as seeing "ghosts" of recently departed loved ones that I actually think are more a type of memory/hallucination because of me being used to seeing them but I've also had experiences I have a hypothesis but no actual explanation for. My hypothesis, which I'm sure is shared by many people so I don't think I'm the only one who's though of this, doesn't include any idea of an afterlife, however. We perceive time as linear but that is not necessarily the case. When we see, hear or whatever, something that could be taken for a ghostly/supernatural experience, it could be that we are actually seeing another point in time, due to something causing our perception, our antenna if you will, to pick up something out of our "current" time, a bit like how a tv antenna can sometimes pick up signals from much further away than it should under certain circumstances. The things I've experienced didn't have any sort of implication that the phenomena were trying to interact with me in any way, although I'd postulate that if people have had an interactive experience, it could be that they were perceived as a phenomenon themselves. This is just my take on it from my personal experience.
i was listening to the witch farm podcast out walking near some woods near my home, and at a pivotal moment in the drama where someof the characters where screaming at a ghost my earphones went mad and started squealing sound came through ,so much so i had to take my earphones out,frightened me half to death!!nearly weed myself..
I've also had experiences since I was a child. As an atheist / agnostic I find it difficult to explain them, but I wonder if it's to do with how time is experienced in dimensions beyond our perception. Instead of being linear, it is possibly more circular, or folds back on itself, so it's possible to experience an energy from long ago now. Whatever they are, there is a scientific explanation, from the mundane - illusion and mental illness, to the very interesting - phenomena beyond our intellect, perception and understanding.
I have experienced the paranormal for many years.. by my personal experiences, I have come to the conclusion, watching , reading explanations for this kind of spirit, so and so.. we know very little about the paranormal. I lived with one spirit for seven years, and observed her walking from the hallway to the kitchen 100s of times. Always in the same direction , my cats moved their heads with her movements. Well one would say she was residual. Well if my husband told her to get out of the kitchen. A pot on the stove would make a popping sound come up and over the stove to the floor. several times with my own two eyes. So that's not residual. Just one example.. but it's fascinating, the different dimensions , could be some explanations of the paranormal.
Thank you, Andrew! I actually just discovered Danny a couple days ago, and I am fascinated by his open-minded approach to his “study” into the reality of ghosts. I was in my 40’s before I experienced a paranormal event, and even after having lived through it, I still struggle with believing my own experiences. Maybe it’s because there is so much skepticism surrounding experiencing anything paranormal? Or maybe it’s still hard for me to accept what happened. But I know what my family and I and my experienced over a 5 year period, and I know it was completely unexplainable.
What I’ve always wondered is, if ghosts exist, do we all become ghosts when we die? Or just some of us? I was staying in LA at my sisters house for two weeks back in the 90’s and was sharing a room with her 6mth year old daughter who was sleeping in a cot. I’d wake up in the night every so often to feel like there was some kind of presence in the room. It made me feel really creeped out. At the same time I felt the presence, my little niece would be standing up in her cot staring at something or someone. I never mentioned it to my sister. A year later she told me that she’d seen the door handle to that room turn by itself and that she felt for sure there was some kind of ghost in there. Neither my sister or I had even thought about stuff like that before.
I’m going to disagree, no, we don’t all become ghosts. The theory is that we all have a soul but most pass over onto the ‘other side’ soon after death. Only some souls don’t pass over - either because they have a strong emotional attachment to a place/person, can’t accept their own death, or do not dare pass on to the other side because they fear the judgement and consequences of what they did in life. Many of these do eventually pass on so may not remain ghosts forever.
When I first moved into my house I saw my father in law rummaging around in drawers in a downstairs bedroom in the dark. I was coming down the stairs looking directly at him, I just walked straight past him gathering washing with the basket under my arm. Walked into the living room directly next door to find he was sat there with my partner and dog 😫 I live on my own now in that house and I don’t really use that room for much😂 it has a stained glass door so I can never properly walk past without checking in and freaking myself out!!!!
I’ve seen a ghost in real life. It was terrifying. I figured out who he was though. It was the past lover of the woman that built the house that I lived it. The look on his face was. You aren’t her.....I never saw him again. He was bent over looking at me at night. You know when you get the feeling that someone is looking at you? Yeah that’s what happened in the middle of the night when I opened my eyes and saw him. They do look like what you think they do. Wispy white with hollow eyes and mouth
What an awesome interview and what a smart guy. I will check out Danny Robins podcasts. I am so glad I found your channel. I have learnt so much about the strangest things in the past couple of weeks.
I have a "haint" in my house that makes itself known periodically. About 15 years ago was the most concrete thing that happened when I heard a disembodied voice. My daughter and I were in our living room, and there was a very audible chuckle from the corner of the room near our fireplace. We both heard it and just looked at each other. It wasn't particularly scary, just very weird and made us curious what the heck just happened? We have had unexplained items come up missing, only to mysteriously reappear months or years later. Things will fall off shelves or pictures will be turned upside down on occasion. Nothing malicious. Also my wife has a collection of snow globes and a few of them play music. We never play them so they key is not wound up, but one night as I walked through the bedroom, one of them played for 5-10 seconds out of the blue. I was home alone so that was a bit creepy! LOL. I do not believe that departed souls walk the earth but I do believe that residual energy can stick around. And I also believe in demons, which are entities that have never been human but want to trick you into believing they are dead loved ones.
I have a toxic mother and a father that doesn't want anything to do with us anymore. I'm an only child...and how lucky am I.... I don't believe in such a thing as the devil...so he can't hurt me! But, as sad as it is...I don't have a fear of ghosts...because the real people in my life...are scary enough. Sorry Andrew, i didn't have any ghost stories for you. 🥺
Clearly a lot of alleged hauntings are wild imaginations after dark, houses settling, even places with high C02 are believed to make people feel unsettled. That said I do think there is an afterlife. People reporting what happened around them after being clinically dead convinces me.
@hiddendragon415 I doubt there is an afterlife, though I don't totally dismiss it. But to be fair, a brain becoming starved of oxygen will create all sorts of 'reality'. And studies show they are inconsistent enough to not be considered useful as evidence.
Sorry I’m texting again but at 33:54 he talks about a husband who took off his jeans and then never saw them again. When my husband and I stayed at the Queens hotel in Aberdeen , Scotland. Winston Churchill frequently stayed there in his time. But my husband ironed his pants to where for the next day and laid them on the back of the chair. When we woke up the next morning , both pants leg were wet. We looked up at the very high ceilings to see if there was a leek. We found nothing. We have no explanation as to how that happened 🤷♀️ I emailed the hotel and asked if they had hauntings and never heard back 🙄
I believe in ghosts because of things that have happened to me, but Derek Acorah is the biggest fake going. I'll never forget him doing a Most Haunted on Pendle Hill, not far from me, and he said he could feel the presence of alien ghosts lol The BBC Ghost Watch programme was brilliant, people should watch it
Danny is correct- be careful what you wish for. Experiencing the unexplainable is truly not something that gives warm fuzzies. I’m enjoying this conversation.
Omg! How weird!! I was watching this for the first time rn and just an hour ago I was talking about Hill House with my husband and specifically how creepy the bent neck lady was! That was one of the creepiest twists of all time. I mean, she was haunting HERSELF. And then when she is basically hallucinating dancing with her husband at their wedding but she’s just really in the house after it’s been abandoned dancing by herself 😮😅
@@AndrewGold1 dude I know that scene stayed with me for a while lol have you seen the second season? The one based on the novel your referencing in the video? It’s called the haunting of bly manor and it’s based on the turn of the screw. That one is pretty good too!
Regarding the story Danny tells about the medium who knew the last words of someone’s best friend. He thinks it’s hard to explain, but if you listen to the podcast episode, you learn that it was after the medium’s show had finished and she’d walked over to her group of friends who were with the medium and had been talking alone with her for a while. In the podcast Danny pointedly asks if she had ever mentioned the story of her best friend’s last words to anyone in the group, who may have passed it on to the medium. Instead of giving a firm “Yes” or “No”, she pauses and then says, “But why would they do that?”. Sometimes we just unconsciously believe what we want to believe.
Absolutely! This woman believes a dead person is talking to her through a random stranger when all the clues point in the direction of her friends having told the last words to the medium (obviously!). She's utterly idiotic, there's no two ways about it.
There was a story where multiple witnesses saw a Roman legion making its way through some town in southern England..broad daylight. Have you heard this story?
Watling Street, the A5, yes that's a Roman road. There's also a Roman legion said to go round in my city, in Gaia Lane in Lichfield/Staffordshire. The whole of Lichfield is haunted like there's no tomorrow. I haven't seen the Roman legion yet and I've driven through Gaia Lane a few times during darkness, but I've met someone who has seen them. The cathedral is definitely haunted and by something not good, I won't even walk past it any more, I can sense something really bad there.
Ok serious one, I used to get exploding head syndrome and sleep paralysis. I'd be drifting to sleep then I'd feel a build up of pressure in my head but instead of an explosion, it'd be a big ZAP of electricity inside of my head, with an accompanying electric sounding noise. One time it played a perfect G chord but with no plectrum attacking the strings. That type of thing used to be super regular. With the paralysis though, often after a bottle of wine and a vindaloo/pizza. Too much booze and salt. Anyway, I'd sometimes feel a heavy blanket placed over me, then the room would get very ominous. I'd hear a low-frequency rumble that'd get very loud and I'd be convinced there was someone in the room with me. Usually a burglar - not like, a demonic entity or anything. Then there's the lucid dreaming that sometime came with it, but that was rare and very fun.
We moved into a house several years ago and my partner and I were just sat reading one evening and then suddenly we heard what sounded like a small brass bell being rung in the kitchen, which was located just off where we were sat in the lounge. I looked at my partner and he looked at me and said "what was that" I went to look in the kitchen and there was nothing there. Then a few weeks later I came home from work and found a small brass weight like the type used on old fashioned weighing scales. I couldn't understand where it had came from, I had never seen it before. so I asked my partner when he got home from work and he had no idea where it has come from either. We hadn't had anyone staying or visiting so it was a complete mystery. Thank goodness that's the only spookey things that happened in the house. I sometimes wonder if some people are more susceptible, if that's the right word, to seeing ghosts and if either of us were more susceptible would more have happened?
Many years ago before I married I shared a flat with another girl in a relatively old house. To be woken in a half sleep by a elderly women asking me to hold her hand because she was scared. It was a strange and slightly frightening experience I never spoke to any one about it. Years later married with children my sister was with me, we were just talking and she mentioned how she had spent the night with me in the flat and then went on to relate how she was woken in the night by a elderly lady, asking to hold her hand. I had goosebumps as I realised we had both experienced the same thing, so it was definitely not a dream. She even described her as I had seen her it was uncanny.
My husband says he does NOT believe however years ago we were staying with my grandparents and the guest room was a place my uncle who died young used to sleep and my husband woke up startled and said he saw him standing at the foot of the bed. My aunt said she had to turn off water faucets in that same home. Scary stuff😮
The only experience i have had was when i spoke to a tarot reader, she said to me "you've lost a baby recently"...it had been a year prior but she couldn't have known, and she also picked up that i had been struggling to get pregnant again and that I would fall pregnant but not just yet she also said i would have my 1st girl...specifically she said FIRST girl and she said i would have her in the summer time. I hadn't told her i already had 3 children who were all boys so again she couldn't have known. Not long after that we stopped trying for a baby because it was becoming too stressful, a year later i fell pregnant and i did have a girl...she was also born in early summer.
I had friends who became involved with a spiritualist church and they told me you should only answer 'yes' or 'no' for this reason. So yoy give away as little as possible. They also said anyone can be a medium, and one went through mediumship training and invited us over so she could practice. It was fascinating to watch. She was told to clear her mind and just say the first image that came to mind and if the person could relate to this. It did work for one of the guests - how it works, mystical or simply suggestion is obviously open to oppinion.
We are energy. I saw my first ghost at age 2-3 yrs old. My experience has been very different through life. Just started being open about it because people are more open.
Yes, Americans, at least some of us, use the term "cardigan". P.S. Just because we cannot see a phenomenon or explain it in a currently conventional manner, doesn't mean it does not exist.
I’m right handed with a scar on my left knee..haha. I have to agree, anyone I know who have used “mediums” to connect with their loved ones often find it comforting and a way to be able to move on from such a traggic and difficult personal loss. Particularily a loss of a child.
Intrigued! I mostly believe. Great content on your channel thank you - I'm really enjoying watching primarily because you're the spitting image of my dad when he was young!
The Hillsborough disaster was a fatal human crush at a football match at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, on 15 April 1989. It occurred during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the two standing-only central pens in the Leppings Lane stand allocated to Liverpool supporters. Shortly before kick-off, in an attempt to ease overcrowding outside the entrance turnstiles, the police match commander, David Duckenfield, ordered exit gate C to be opened, leading to an influx of supporters entering the pens. This resulted in overcrowding of those pens and the crush. With 97 deaths and 766 injuries, it has the highest death toll in British sporting history.
I am from Sheffield and used to go in that stand with my grandparents as a kid. It seems to me like some sort of karma or curse that was sent after the Heisel stadium deaths (violent hooligans from Liverpool caused a terrible tragedy).
I saw a funny clip in which a bloke pretending to be a psychic approached people in the street. First two young office/shop workers on their lunch break. He said he saw travel in the near future. It was early summer. They were astonished and told him they were just about to apply for passports for their upcoming holiday. Next were three scally-looking lads about 19. He asked if any of them had a scar on their leg. Half of men have a scar on their leg, we were told later. The lads were gobsmacked that he could know one of them had a scar. He then asked about trouble with the police. Their heads exploded.
The guy’s jeans, and my dog’s collar, have fallen into the 4th dimension. Take collar off doggo. Give doggo bath. WHERE IS DOGGO’S COLLAR? I’ve been looking for it for months. Taken apart the furniture. Looked under everything. It HAS to be in the house. I know where everything is at my house & still no collar. Fourth dimension. 🤷🏻♀️
Watching this segment from one year ago reminded me of seeing that Heol Fanog documentary on a few weeks ago. Never believed in any phenomenon but me Yank mates from America lived near that Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, and now I’m somewhat of a believer after visiting. Utah, Big Sky country Montana, the Scottish Highlands, Iceland, and the Welsh countryside near Heol all gave off strange vibes that haven’t felt since my stint in Afghanistan working as a medic. Not that it was full of bad memories, but parts of those mountainous regions without much did give off strange vibes.
My dad died 31 years ago and from the day he passed i have looked for signs from him and even hoped to see him because he always told me that when he died if there was any possible way to let me know that there was an afterlife he would come to me . Nothing has ever happened . Zilch. Does that mean there is no afterlife or just that my dad can’t reach me ? Who knows ! It is fascinating though. I really like Andrew the host here and also his guest Danny . I am going to enjoy this….
Working on the Navajo Reservation there were 4 of us that started seeing a male Navajo looking in the ice cream case after a grave had been disturbed by a bridge being replaced. Out in that area the Navajos had a Ghostway Ceremony that we took part in. We never saw him again.
What you are talking about is my normal . I saw spirit as a child and it disappeared until I was 31 years old. After giving birth to my daughter I realised something had changed. Then I started seeing spirit again. I now give people messages from spirit . I don’t expect you to believe me ! Something I can tell you is that spirit is not evil . Never have i come across an evil spirit. They are mostly loved ones trying to get messages to family and friends xxx
I used to live in a house with several supernatural occurrences, the worst experience was several scratches/welts appeared on my lower back with no apparent reason, it freaked me out and my partner thought I had cheated on her lol, safe to say 5 years on in our new house it doesnt appear the entity has followed us here
two months ago, i was dragged out of bed, flipped over and crashed on the ground. my knee was scraped badly and i had bruising on my chest. My fiance found me thankfully. It was chilling. in my experience, it does not bode well for us who have these experiences, especially in my career. However, i follow the facts & know what happened. i hope you are living as peacefully as possible lol!!

I have lived off and on in my old family home, which is haunted. I could write a book about this whole neighborhood and some of the home within it. I'm back home, and depend on Jesus for my protection.
Just three weeks before my 21st birthday, my Dads father died. He was known as Poppa, my Mum and Dad went down to see him, he had been unwell for a while, my Auntie had been looking after my Poppa and Dad and Mum went to give her a break. They had only been there a couple of days and Poppa had a severe stroke. Two days later Poppa had another stroke at 03.40 I woke up at that time and i could see Poppa he was stood at the bottom of my bed, he was smiling, i smiled back told him I loved him and then he faded away, I knew he passed away. Mum called fairly early about 7am. And before she said a word I told her Poppa died at 03.40 and that he’d visited before crossing over. My Mum just went quiet. All my Mum said was can you tell your sisters. I had more experiences when I was a child. But nothing since other than orbs.
I think our house was haunted, when I was a kid. Strange things happened, things would go missing and then reappear where we'd already looked, and once I had a scary thing happen in the basement (it's always the basement), where my older brother's room was. I went upstairs and asked my mother if she'd ever noticed anything in the basement - she went white and when I asked her how my brother felt about it she just said "we don't talk about it". And we never talked about it again.
My husband put a shirt down and it disappeared..... into the wheely bin unfortunately it teleported back into the washbasket after he discovered it screwed up at the bottom of the bin out on his recycling mission
I’m an atheist but I suspect there’s something more going on that we can’t come to grips with. I’ve had so many crazy unexplainable events happen that I couldn’t talk myself out of or debunk. Because of it, I’m on the verge of believing we carryon as an energy. Sounds insane but I can’t knock the feeling that it could be a possibility.
Did anyone notice the wispy transparent type of ord at 35 minutes and 52 seconds. It comes up behind Danny's microphone then disappears to the right. I've watched it a few times now and I can't quite make it out but it's not dust or hair and it was going upwards.
I’ve had several readings from mediums, telling me that I would change my job of 22 years, it happened. That i had a new home on the fifth floor, when I’d just bought a two storey house, which was repossessed, and my new council home? A fifth storey council flat.
The one about the disappearing jeans resonated with me as I had a similar experience just last year. I had printed off an A4 photograph of my son and his girlfriend ready to frame it. The doorbell rang just as I was readying the frame, so I laid the picture on the table and went to answer it. When I returned, less than a minute later, the picture was gone, never to be seen again. I was completely alone in the house. I second-guessed myself over and over again, had I really printed it off, was it in my imagination, but no. I had physically printed it off, physically held it in my hands to admire it, physically put it on the table. Of course, it was easy just to print off another picture but I have often wondered where the original is now. I like to think it is adorning a deceased family member's heavenly mantlepiece. 😃
Hello Andrew! Greetings from Jacksonville Florida! I must tell you I was expecting a few ghost stories, some sound effects and possibly a few ghost pictures and such. Of course, I have never heard of your guest before!! 😆. So, I didn't know if what he was talking about was available on line, in a special Halloween show or on British tv. You were delightful as usual.love you. 🥰. Halloween joke: What type of blood does a happy vampire prefer?? B positive. Later
My mum found every article of clothing in her fairly large wardrobe turned inside out. Even the ones on hangers. Even some hangers that had a couple of items on them. ONLY her clothes. I witnessed this. She lives with dad in a home they built new 30+ years ago. They're in their 70's.
My parents bought an old home in a small quaint town on the Delaware in PA. My hubby & I are visiting for the weekend. As we’re walking back to the house from downtown we see a huge group of people across from the house pointing. What’s all this? Turns out their house is on the town F Ghost Tour. It’s even in books! 👻
Do you believe in ghosts? Will you come to this Halloween Special?
Do you believe in ghosts?
@@annabell3385 I do not! But I like talking about them!
Yep
Well thankyou, I enjoyed that; nicely balanced :) .
There is NO ghost at all only evil spirit that is demon..see kjv bible Hebrews 9:27
I've had several experiences since childhood. One that really sticks with me was seeing my friend standing in the hallway at University. We were in a car accident, and she was dead on the scene. I was super nervous about going back to school, and there she was standing in the hall my first day. It was both a jolting and comforting experience. As a scientist, I am not sure what I think ghosts actually are, but I know from experience there is something we don't understand going on around us all.
i understand exactly, im so sorry you lost your friend, that must have been so traumatic for you. As someone with an hons degree in Psychology and a Masters in Behavioural Science, i am also not supposed to really believe in the paranormal, but i cant deny real experience either. Very eye opening!!
My father, who is atheist, had a bizarre experience getting back home. While he was climbing the stairs he felt someone grabbing his right arm and he turned around but there was no one there. He got scared and tried to explain it as a some sort of nerve impulse in his arm but even he is not convinced with that explanation.
@@aneliaprodanova that's a very cool story! It's amazing, so many people would rather attribute experiences to some natural explanation that is very unlikely than a reason that is "supernatural." Our brains are such fascinating entities.
@@Camille_Anderson you're education in behavioral and social sciences mirrors my own. We want to come up with an answer, but these experiences demand using our imaginations. That is the only way we will find answers. But, it all begins with being willing to say "I don't know" instead of trying to stretch a "logical" explanation to fit the experiences. As you know, when we begin repeating explanations in our brains, our brains will adapt to change that memory to eventually fit one's beliefs.
I'm incredibly sorry to hear about you going through such a tragedy, and for the loss of your friend. I don't discount what you saw, but trauma must not be discounted, and I've also had traumatic events in which can cause you to see and hear things, especially so soon after the event.
I had a dream one night that my deceased dad came to see and said that I was going to go through some really hard times. He said my mom who had also passed couldn’t be with me she was with someone else but he would help me get through it. Woke up thinking that was a weird dream. Six months later my 6 year old son was diagnosed with cancer and my husband and I separated. A year and a half later I went to see a medium and she screamed when I walked in the room and said there was a man beside me holding me up and later said that my mom was holding my son and hadn’t left his side for a couple of years. I think not only are our loved ones with us but we have a path we have to follow in this journey of ours. ❤
My mom always said if someone who has passed comes to you in a dream listen up. They are there to talk to you and you need to remember what was said. She comes to me sometimes in my dreams. We both know she’s dead which is why I believe it.
I would love to dream of my dad and have him communicate with me. I would love to see and talk to him again. He died almost 13 years ago and there is not a day that I don’t think of something I want to tell him. He had a passion for genealogy and I’ve continued his work part time until I retire. Whenever I learn something new or interesting about our ancestors or find out his theories were right or wrong, I feel a deep anguish that I cannot call him. He would absolutely love it. He also never met my daughter which I also struggle with. He would have adored her and spoiled her rotten and it’s so unfair that she will never know him. I’ve never talked with a therapist about my grief, but after writing this, maybe I should. 🥺
That's fascinating. I wonder why he said your mum couldn't be with you and she was with someone else. can't she spare a minute? He was sort of wrong, no? maybe it's that she couldn't be with him.
Maybe she was with the poorly son at the time 4 those months 🤔
How wonderful that they are looking out for you . Sorry you had such hard times x
I had a strange experience many years ago, I can't explain it and it was in no way spooky. It was completely the opposite.I had left home and was renting a nice flat in a nice house with my sister.She was away for the night, and sometime through the night I awoke and immediately I became aware that my room was filled with a strange atmosphere, not frightening but beautiful. I lay still in the bed just feeling it, I was afraid to move in case it went away.I had always been a bit nervous of spending the night alone, not just in this house but any house. My mind then start to go on the wander.I let it travel all over this large house and then outside where there was a high walled yard, and I realised that what I was experiencing was a total absence of fear. I lay in that wonderful presence and drifted back to sleep. For over 40 years I have remembered it and wished I could experience it again. I never have, and don't know why it came to be in tje first place.

When I was in my thirties, I wandered into see a medium, out of the blue, he had no idea who I was, he predicted and got many things right. But, the one thing that got me was he kept saying 'tears at 42… tears at 42’. Years later on the morning of my 42 birthday I got a phone call to tell me my best friend had died. Bad times.
Danny has such a wonderful voice, it is joy listening to him
Totally agree, I could listen forever. Great voice
My dad passed in hospital aged 78 in 2001 my family never believed in gohsts or spirits, they believed once your dead you are dust and darkness and gone forever. The hospital had put dad in a side room, they called me at 630 am on the Saturday morning. My dad visited me 1 05 am Sunday morning laughing his head off, he looked 26yrs not 78 yrs he said sue you were right about everything My mum did come for me and we can visit anytime we want, he said the universe is vast and we come frome many planets. And heaven is exactly as you describes sue even the review life room and the pink crystal healing room. I was the only one in my family who have seen and spoke to spirit all my life and had many NDE and seen and experienced heaven, my dad now told me I had described it as is.
I’ve had a number of experiences that I believed were experiences of ghosts, but when I became a psychiatric nurse I learned about something called hypnogogic hallucinations, which is where we experience the dream state whilst being awake. It usually occurs when we are falling asleep or waking up, but most of us will have experienced this even when fully awake. For example, you are walking down the street, feeling pretty relaxed, you hear someone call your name, you turn around but no one is there. This is the most common example of a hypnogogic hallucination.
Once I’d eliminated these experiences I was left with only one experience that happened during childhood, and the memory stays with me to this date. I’m 61 years old now and I can remember every detail. I’m convinced that I have seen a ghost, but only once in my life.
Yes, people see ghosts when they are tired or drunk and we have a tendency to think that that state of mind means it wasn’t real. "Were you drunk?"... "Ha!". But, perhaps when our brain is not in its normal state, that is when people can see through the cracks.
That's funny...I went through several days hearing someone call me, even waking me from sleep.
On the third day, I realized they weren't saying my name, but Sissy. Only 2 people called me that. I called my mom and asked if my sister was okay. Yep. Then I asked about my brother, who lived with her very estranged ex. She didn't know but assured me I was ridiculous.
Later that day she got a call that my 12 year old brother was in very bad shape in the hospital two hours away. When we got there his grandmother passed Mom by, grabbed me and said in his delirium he had called for me for days.
He recovered thank God, but I could never explain away what happened.
Your Worthers Original story was very good. Shows just how powerful our brain is. We should let it help us.
@@hazeluzzell I don't know what a Worthers Original story is, lol. It was a very strange experience, and my husband took my every thought and dream as prophetic after that. (They weren't.)
Though I have never pursued such things, I have had enough experience to say I don't know how rigid the boundaries of our lives really are. In a way, I'd rather wait for the phone call like everybody else. 😄
You saw because you were in a relaxed state.. like trance. Its called tuning out/in
I’ve been on ghost hunts and most of it felt like a scam, but when the temperature went really cold and our fully charged phones suddenly drained of power, the camera and camcorder batteries went flat, it really felt like something was drawing all that power and I was genuinely scared.
Batteries become less efficient when they get cold.
@@VaughanMcCue why did it get really cold?
@@bluebellbeatnik4945
My comment was 11 months ago, so I don't recall the circumstances in this story.
A simple explanation might be the ambient temperature cooled.
Ask yourself why there is a difference between the temperature of your oven when it is off and then on and the refrigerator compared with its freezer.
Could you remind yourself that these are claims, alleged events, and you were not present?
The guest talks an awful lot for someone who isn't saying much.

Typical reasons to believe in ghosts:
1. I sensed something.
2. It suddenly went cold.
3. My equipment stopped working.
4. We heard a strange noise.
5. Derek Acorah spoke in tongues.
😂😂😂
Speaking of technology as a tool. I lost my love suddenly and was devastated. One comforting incident happened when I picked up my phone, when it turned on there was a photo of my love when she was as happy as can be, smiling broadly at the camera. I hadn't looked at the photo for weeks and it would have taken me 20 minutes to find in my phone. No explanation.
I’m so sorry you experienced such a devastating loss, but I’m hope seeing her happy, smiling face seeing her photo pop up on your phone helped you understand that despite having lost her, she was happy and at peace!
I’ve had more supernatural experiences than I can count on my fingers and toes 😅
Great show , interesting to hear from sceptics on this topic.
Danny is right be careful what you wish for. Many inexperienced spiritual people open their third eye thinking they’ll see angels and the like but an open third eye sees everything including the most terrifying demons.
I would say I’m not a believer. I’m an experiencer. I grew up as an atheist. That reality was shattered when I was 23 when the experiences started.
It's funny you should say that, I have just embark on this spiritual journey and you are very right. I have seen in my imagination in the upper left corner a red devil head it took a few days to go, it has made me very weary of mediation.
I am aware of protecting, you may think that I am a young man but infact my age is 67 anyone embarking on this type of thing seek someone with experience in this matter.
Some people will read this and laugh but I know different.
My third eye was open when I was very young. I deliberately closed it tight after seeing faces on the wall talking to me when I was 5 years old. Perhaps I had a fever at that time but the only time I see visitations is when I sleep. However I always feel a protective presence during my dreams.
My mother in law was abused by her uncle . Her uncle would abuse her when she was sent for money for the electric. When her mother was old she asked her if she knew about the abuse, her mother said no but mother in law didn’t believe her. She passed away …
Years later she went to see a medium in a group. At the end the woman called her back and said’ I didn’t want to say in front of your friends but your mother really didn’t know about your uncle.
MIL went cold thinking that the whole thing was a joke lol - until that point !
I heard noises from spirit for years before I started mediumship, and the first time I tried to communicate with them I was laying in bed and I said if there's anyone here can you let me know, and a woman's voice next to me said 'im here' and I've never shat myself so bad!! Even now years later I still say to them don't let me see you or I'll never sleep again lol
haha. this is why i think i don't see them. do you do private readings btw?
😂
Well, I would overall say no, however. I will add I have a good memory and can even remember a moment as a baby crawling up and down a staircase at my aunts first apartments.
So when my sister was around 1, we visited my paternal grandparents. My grandfather was very ill. I was about 3 and I remember him looking very pale and while I was busy playing with toys in another room,he was chatting with my sister.
A few years ago, my parents and I were reminiscing about that day. I said that I remember the room was full of people. Both of them stopped talking and stared at me.
They then asked if I remembered who was there. I said I didn’t recognise many of them but I knew both of them, grandma, grandad, my sister and then my dad’s brother and his aunts.
They then told me that only the four of us and my grandparents were there. Grandad had told them he could see all his family who had passed while he was talking to my sister. My uncle and great aunts had died a few years before.
i went to see a spirituals by accident because my friend dropped out so i traveled with her other friend who i had never met in my life. we got to this ladies house and i went in the room first the medium said a little prayer she then asked me could i be so kind not to speak to her all the way through my experience just to prove i'm not feeding her i said yes i sat with her for 1 hour and from beginning to end i was in total shock there is no way on gods green earth she could of known my grandparents names on both sides of my family my great grandmother who married away her jewish fath my friend who committed suicide on xmas day my fathers mothers and uncles named who are still living also my 3 children's names she was having a full blown conversation with the spirits as they were sat around the room next to me and through all of this i still had not spoke as you see i wasn't supposed to be there it was my friend who cancelled so i never told her my name because she told me not to speak. she finished turned to me and said well Debra that is your name isn't it with my gob wide open i said yes she then said look maggie your grandma does not want you to be worried about never seeing her again it works like this blink for me so i blinked my eyes she said that's how far the next dimension is a blink and your there and it's beautiful. she had to get me a glass of water i was literally in shock i have never been to one since i have never needed to i've got all the proof i need of that truly remarkable and if i may say surreal day❤️
I recommend you read Micheal Shermer's book. Why people believe weird things.
I am sure it will explain your situation well unless you would rather stick with the story because it makes you happy. There is nothing wrong with that- your choice.
@@VaughanMcCueIf it's about cold reading... you can't get all that from cold reading!
@@theeggtimertictic1136
I am unclear what your 'all that' refers to, but you could get a cold reading if you stand in the rain; your book would also get wet.
@@VaughanMcCue 'all that' refers to the details she revealed which are very specific. I think you know what cold reading is.
@@theeggtimertictic1136
We both know it is just a story about a story modified for our consumption.
My neighbour told me her sister-in-law knew someone who owned a cat that could fly. Apparently, their toddler dropped it from the 27th floor, and it came back nine times.
Legend has it that It even came back the tenth time in a plastic bag, carried by a lady from the animal protection society - nine lives were used up, and it was out of warranty, I suppose.
My understanding of cold reading is the observer is trained to have heightened sensory acuity that assists in discerning gesture clusters that reveal clues to skilled military or police interrogators, cross-examining lawyers, and mothers of small children.
You could present a real example because If you think magic is involved, I suggest you reconsider your standards. 😸
When I was a young kid I saw a woman in my room. Blankets would fly off me in the middle of the night. She looked like she was from 1930s. The feeling of waking up in the middle of the night drenched in piss because you were to scared to go to the toilet. The heavy atmosphere that you get when something just isn’t right. We had an old air vent in my wall and my mother found a photo of a lady. I’ve always wanted the chance to go on a podcast and tell the story. There’s a lot more to it. So many things I could point out which categorically proves ghosts or whatever they are do exist.
I hate these things! Especially the ones that target kids. I had a lady visitor, too, when I was still a toddler. Nasty piece of work. My mother believed me and the family tried to pin it on my Great Grandma, but the details were wrong. So decades later, I finally decided this was a malevolent entity. There were others later in my life. Nothing to do with ghosts of the dead (a separate category). I believe violence and dysfunction in the family opens a child up to this harassment. Jacques Valee and Mike Heiser describe these things well. John Keel and Peter Fenwick are good, too.

@@FortBaker2011 funny you say that, because there was violence. I’ve always wanted to find out who lived there before we did. Almost 35 years later since we moved out I’ve heard the family living in that house now have had experiences. Infact I was told one of the young boys described seeing a woman in the front bedroom. Used to frighten the shit out of me. Something that I’ve never mentioned but I can mention it on here and that is I used to float around the top of the ceiling around the bedroom and float down the stairs. Sounds crazy? I’ve always put that part down to just being a dream and maybe it was a dream I don’t know. I was very young, but my sister once said to me in a conversation several years ago. Hey.. can you remember when we used to float down the stairs? As you can imagine it brought a shiver to the spine.
My baby passed away when he was only two weeks old. He'd be 25 now. Ive got a photo on my phone of him standing smiling at my youngest son at the end of our hallway. Ill treasure it forever.

25 minutes in and really enjoying this conversation. I loved Danny's ghost-related podcasts so this episode was a pleasant surprise
ah brilliant, thanks LC O!
What a wonderful episode! I work as a hospital chaplain and just this morning I dealt with patients fearing evil spirits and witchcraft as a cause of their illness. On my break I tuned into your website. How wondferfully apropos ! It made my morning. 😊
I like this guy. Even as Andrew tries to drop little debunking digs at his stores he just almost laughs it off and shows his beliefs. That Grey area exists.
I went to a spiritualist church. My grandad came through and asked me to buy my gran a red rose on their anniversary. He had done this every year for 59 years. He had passed about 4 months earlier. I bought my gran the red rose and she burst out crying and asked me how did I know? Told her the story and we both found it incredibly comforting and special and something I will never forget.
I saw a medium with friends and family at her place of business. No medicine cabinets and no research. This woman knew things about us that nobody would know. She personally described my father as my visiter as a big presence that insists on going first. Said, 'Stop lally gagging' which I grew up hearing from my father all the time. I haven't heard anyone since my father who had use this term. There was more but it felt very personal and I felt great about the experience. As did everyone. One person lost a child prebirth and the medium said ' The girl is here and wasn't ready to be born yet, but she will be born' short time later that friend got pregnant again and had a baby girl. My brother had to put his dog down due to disease and couldn't be trusted around the baby..She said the dog thanked him and was thankful for being a good owner. She said my sister was a healer, and my sister is a nurse. She warned a friend to change the tire on her vehicle because something was going to happen. The day before her husband and her were discussing it. I Believe
They get accurate messages from malevolent entities. There are some ex-mediums who talk about that stuff. It’s dangerous.
@@FortBaker2011 .. no message there seems particularly evil. Delia Morris
The most scary ghost stories imo, are when you don’t really see the ghost you feel they’re around or hear them. The Movie
really old The Haunting gave me the chills.
One of my favourite films!
That’s the only thriller film that made me think years after and I can’t forget it. (I’m an elder millennial, born in ‘86 so a 90s kid). The 80s-90s have the best movies, I think.
I had that happen but it was cold that encircled me like a freezer when it was 90+ degrees outside. It was in the garden area of an old Spanish Mission in San Fernando, California. And then the same day there was a picture of the White Lady in the Valley Times with her arms around a wedding couple in the same garden area. I was told by a Spanish person from the area that it was a blessing to have her do that.
I think it affects people who are religious or believers...once you let it go, you realize that we are all connected
Excellent film
I once talked to someone who had been dead 1year. I did not know she was gone. So l totally believe.
I met someone who I think might have been a spirit just two days ago! This was by far not my first experience of that nature. There is far more going on between Heaven and Earth than we will ever know!
Hey Andrew, this On The Edge video was the only on my feed this morning- and I'm so glad. A great guest, very funny with an interesting topic. You really should have more subs
When I was stationed in Germany back in the late 1970's, I was renting a room from an elderly German couple. They rented two rooms on the 2nd floor of their house. My buddies told me when I moved there that the place was haunted, but I didn't believe in that stuff so I moved there anyway.
One night I came out of the bathroom, went into my room closed the door and locked it. The room was divided by a big closet type thing. The Germans called it a shrunk. Anyway I cut the light off and walked around to the bed where my wife was. I sat on the edge of the bed and all of a sudden the light snapped back on. The light switch was the older design. It was on a heavy spring. You couldn't get it accidentally stuck between on and off. It was a very clear "Snap!", when it was turned off or on. Plus it took some intentional force to switch it in the up/down position. I eventually went around and checked. The door was still locked but the switch was in the up position. The lock was the old skeleton key type, so if someone put a key in the other side, it would have pushed my key out onto the floor. My key was still in the lock.
Another incident happened at night. We were in bed. It was about 2am. There was a very heavy round ashtray on the coffee table, about 6 inches in diameter. All of a sudden it made the sound as if it was placed on its side then knocked over and spun down to the table. It was a very freaky moment because the ashtray was very heavy. It was an ashtray someone had taken from one of the local clubs. It was there when I moved in. I never could figure out what could have caused either event, other than bonified paranormal activity. Many other things happened in that house while I lived there. This is just a couple, but it made a believer out of me.
Shrank…..
@@saxyflyIt’s called Schrank, Kleiderschrank to be precise…
Andrew.... Phenomenal. Absolutely loved this interview with Danny. You both brought quite a smile to my face because I could relate to both of you and your feelings. I feel like Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch not because of Katie Holmes but because of Andrew Gold's great interviews. This one was spot on. Simply loved both you and Danny !!!!
hahaha I love to hear/read this Richard!
I agree! This was really enjoyable as they had great chemistry.
I have had several encounters with ghosts. A decade ago I had an entity squeeze my left shoulder as I was about to leave my in-laws house on Christmas Eve.
And the other 6 experiences ?
Thank you guys so much. I've really enjoyed your chat ❗Thank you so much for all the great movie titles to watch. I will also like to mention that I too have experienced sleep paralysis. It scares the heck out of me and of course I never want to experience it again. 😯
Our pleasure! And let's never get sleep paralysis again Karla!
Watching this a year late but still wonderfiul. So glad i discovered Danny Robbins for myself recently and his fantastic podcasts.
I went to see a medium, recommended by a friend. She said, my dad is here, he's saying thanks for the great send off but you didn't do what I requested. That was absolutely true. Then my mother came through, she said, your mother is saying your older sister took on lead executor of the will and your mother isn't very happy about that. Absolutely true again. There was a lot more she said that was spot one. I'd never met this woman before, it blew my mind away.
A friend of mine rented a house for the weekend for a large group party and she was deeply traumatised by the multitude of inexplicable events that occurred, to the level that she didn't speak about it for 2 years.
When people get together, it could bring out the pranksters.
@@VaughanMcCue do you really think people are stupid?
tell all
@@bluebellbeatnik4945
There are certainly some people who need more discernment when evaluating fact from fiction.
Ignorance of facts does not mean being stupid because an individual may require appropriate knowledge to analyse certain information.
This guest is marketing nonsense that appeals to people with zero scientific knowledge, which aligns with the quality and tone of the comments here.
@@VaughanMcCue If you do not feel connected to the spiritual world, just say so. If you felt it, you would not question it. It is a knowing. We know. You can be discerning but there is no need. These are no hallucinations. We don't need to pretend it's something else because science hasn't caught up yet so we have to choose the only option they have. We know as they have known for millennia.
I'm not denying the supernatural, but, If you define contacting “the dead” as an entity that was once a living human being... how do you know that's exactly who it is? If it's a genuine supernatural interaction could it be something malevolent? Could a malevolent entity/personage be playing your desire for contact as an opportunity for spiritual deception?
Exactly right! Bible explains it perfectly plus many ex satanists/psychics confirm it!
Exactly
One of my relatives did spiritual deception with an alcohol display cabinet at his bar. Filled display bottles with cold tea and anything else to spoil the plunderer's fun. Galliano vanilla was bottled at the urinal, of course.
Good point
That’s exactly what I believe it is and the Bible seems to be clear on forbidding divination, witchcraft, sorcery etc. my belief is that so called ghosts only occur after an occult/black magic ritual (or say where that has been performed) as opposed to being something naturally occurring. Christopher Lee alludes to this (particularly rituals performed on “consecrated ground”) in one of his talks about the occult - on which he is supposedly a major authority due to having the biggest library of occult books 🤷♂️. Long story short, *i.m.o.* its never a benevolent spirit by definition of how it has come to interact with the mortal realm.
Love Danny Robins! I’m addicted to his Uncanny podcast…..I’m definitely team believer. Had 2 experiences that couldn’t possible be explained. Was. So excited to watch the new series on TV! 👻👻👻👻🖤
I use to believe and followed loads of ghost channels and then I discovered a debunker called The Shape who debunked most of my favourite channels lol. Then my mum passed last year and I use to beg her to give me a sign or move something and nothing ever happened when asking but then on other days I could be sitting and something would fall in the kitchen or something would be moved when i was home alone. I just truly think that my mum would be in contact lots if she could so abit confused on what to believe.
I think things just get tested. the rational way is easier because it's less scary and closes the 'portal', makes you less sensitive and less open. you can sleep at night. i asked my mum for a specific sign but nada. I still believe, though. I wonder if she reincarnated as I sort of wanted her to, into a better childhood home where her parents would love her and she would be educated.
The spirit soul never dies . Only the physical body dies , we ate energy after death energy still exists.
I have good contact with my husband who passed during the 1st wave of covid. I've been that way inclined for years, and it takes a lot of practice & paying attention to the quiet side of yourself.... My husband directed me to read 'What Dreams Have Come' via Amazon, by the director who also made the film with Robin Williams, 'What Dreams May Come' - shows you how they are trying to communicate but our grief & fear gets in the way...also gives some idea of how life can work after passing. When we ask for help/signs, we often dismiss those very signs. I know!! It's taken me decades to trust my own 'inner hearing', etc etc. As for malevolent types, I deal with those, but in general, keep away from anything that gives you the creeps.
My personal story was driving to my cousins funeral. I stopped at a cafe for coffee and cake in a big old building I'd always wanted to try. I was surprised because there were holloween decorations up and it was January and thought it was odd. Christmas decorations I'd have understood. There was little food on offer and the service was slow. Only one other couple there. So my treat was a bit disappointing. Told the story when I got home and everyone kept telling me the building had burnt down in November. Of course I knew they were lying, had the wrong house etc. But turns out I was wrong (sorta) as I can remember the lemon cake and the tepid tea as well as the decorations, the large and very tidy but slow waitress ...in the burnt down house.
This was a fun listen. I like his humour.
The strongest encounter I had was while I was going through a miscarriage. I wasn't very far along at all, so it was like having a very heavy period. My husband offered to stay home with me as he was on night shift, but I told him there wasn't any point. I woke up at around 3am to hear footsteps running down the stairs (we use the main floor - the house was over 100 years old at the time, and my husband is the 3rd generation to own it). The footsteps ran down the stairs, stopped in the hallway across from our bedroom, then ran back up the stairs. It happened 3 times, but the last time, the footsteps stopped at the edge of the doorway. While this was happening, I cowered under the covers, then finally screamed out they weren't invited here and they need to move on. The rest of that week I stayed with my aunt. This was many years ago. We still have things happen - someone walks around and we assume it's whomever isn't in the kitchen, but the person is either asleep, in the bathroom, or outside. And we hear our name called (that experience is mostly my husband's, though).
I also get sleep paralysis. At least I used to. I read something somewhere that said it usually happens if you fall asleep on your back and your body falls asleep before your brain does and a chemical is released. Something to that effect. But the point is, if you try not to fall asleep on your back-it happens alot less. I found this to work for me.
Falling asleep with your face straight up, so the pressure is on the back of your head is linked to sleep paralysis.
@@trustthecurrent yes, that’s what I was trying to say . lol And it must be true because it happens to me almost every time if I do that.
I stopped sleeping on my back because I noticed that it happened then so that is true.
@@angelajerram840 I did too. Sometimes I will wake up from a bad dream and realize I had turned to be on my back in my sleep. It’s weird how that works in your brain.
I have not seen a ghost but have had warnings, fast flashes that have saved my life.
I was able to focus, remained calm and got through it more then once.

thanks toni!
Sometimes we see something, and the synaptic connection may feel like a long time later, even though it is milliseconds. You might see it; tick tick tick, then we become conscious of it. Your automatic brain is taking over before you are strictly conscious.
Amber Guyger, of Dallas, TX, is in the cooler now because her brain played a trick on her. Like the policewoman who killed a guy in her apartment, she came home tired, entered with her gun ready as the door was slightly open (I think) and saw him, larger that life. Bang! Then looked around and discovered she had gone into his place instead. A terribly sad outcome because most of us might see it as an accident with twisted but legitimate mitigating circumstances.
What about ‘us’ who have had ‘ghostly’ experiences? My dad turned up one night after he died and warned me that my sister was misinterpreting his will. I subsequently found this to be true. I’ve had my pet cats jump on my bed at night after they died……..I could go on. It seems, if you have these experiences, you are willing to believe but if you haven’t, then you are more likely to disbelieve.
How fascinating! I had a benign sort of experience, I'll assume some sort of "ghost," at a trailer I moved into with my toddler. The first time I experienced (I will call it "him" to keep it more human) his presence I had gone to bed but was not asleep yet. I felt something rubbing against the foot of the bed and around to the opposite side where I lay facing away. I felt what seemed like it must have been my toddler sneaking into bed. Then it was still, and I lay there smiling, thinking the baby had tried to sneak into my bed. When I rolled over, there was no one there. I got up and looked around the room then went to my toddler's room and he lay there in his bed sleeping. I thought it was weird, but not scarry. However, when this continued to happen I began to feel threatened. I would yell out, "Stop that, you are scarring me!" But then my cooler head decided it was not hurting me nor threatening me so I would ignore it and grew quite used to it.
Interestingly, this was the house where my electric bill jumped two months in a row using over a month's worth of electricity in one night. I was working with the electric company to find out what it was after the first double bill occurred, but in the end found nothing and, of course, had to pay the bills. I have never heard before that there could be any connection to a "spirit" and electricity surges.
When I moved into my "new" house months later, I found myself missing my little ghost. I have thought it could be a small child (age 2 or 3) that had died or a pet and that they were lonely. I live in a very small community, and if there had been a tragic death of a child there in that trailer, the whole town would have known, but that was not the case. So who my little "friend" was, I will never know.
I had a scary experience
it was a cold November night
I was a 11 year old boy and it was a Thursday how I know it was Thursday because I was on my way to scouts
the scout hut was down a dark alley ,the building was dark( it also was known to be in a place where hauntings happen)
So I didn't fancy standing in the dark waiting so I decided to wait under a street light near the entrance and sat on a wall
as I waited I was joined by another scout and another so here we where all 3 of us when another school mate came up to us on his bike (he wasn't in scouts)
and while we waited we where all chatting when I picked up a stick and was twinging it against his spokes on his bike
and in front of the 4 of us the stick changed into a lizard about a foot long and gripped the boys bike
he raced away screaming
the three of us where shocked because in the UK in November, a Lizard is not something you see and yet even today I still do not know what the hell we saw that night but some 40 years later I can still see that dam lizard
Y'all are so cute. In America we wear cardigans/sweaters we say both for a button or zip up front wooly thing 🤣🤣🤣
I've had experiences that many would class as seeing "ghosts" of recently departed loved ones that I actually think are more a type of memory/hallucination because of me being used to seeing them but I've also had experiences I have a hypothesis but no actual explanation for.
My hypothesis, which I'm sure is shared by many people so I don't think I'm the only one who's though of this, doesn't include any idea of an afterlife, however.
We perceive time as linear but that is not necessarily the case. When we see, hear or whatever, something that could be taken for a ghostly/supernatural experience, it could be that we are actually seeing another point in time, due to something causing our perception, our antenna if you will, to pick up something out of our "current" time, a bit like how a tv antenna can sometimes pick up signals from much further away than it should under certain circumstances. The things I've experienced didn't have any sort of implication that the phenomena were trying to interact with me in any way, although I'd postulate that if people have had an interactive experience, it could be that they were perceived as a phenomenon themselves.
This is just my take on it from my personal experience.
Well done guys. Well done. Much enjoyed this. New subscriber here, and happy to be! Always interesting subjects. So good, and fast paced.
Thanks Corie!
i was listening to the witch farm podcast out walking near some woods near my home, and at a pivotal moment in the drama where someof the characters where screaming at a ghost my earphones went mad and started squealing sound came through ,so much so i had to take my earphones out,frightened me half to death!!nearly weed myself..
I've also had experiences since I was a child. As an atheist / agnostic I find it difficult to explain them, but I wonder if it's to do with how time is experienced in dimensions beyond our perception. Instead of being linear, it is possibly more circular, or folds back on itself, so it's possible to experience an energy from long ago now. Whatever they are, there is a scientific explanation, from the mundane - illusion and mental illness, to the very interesting - phenomena beyond our intellect, perception and understanding.
totally.
I have experienced the paranormal for many years.. by my personal experiences, I have come to the conclusion, watching , reading explanations for this kind of spirit, so and so.. we know very little about the paranormal. I lived with one spirit for seven years, and observed her walking from the hallway to the kitchen 100s of times. Always in the same direction , my cats moved their heads with her movements. Well one would say she was residual. Well if my husband told her to get out of the kitchen. A pot on the stove would make a popping sound come up and over the stove to the floor. several times with my own two eyes. So that's not residual. Just one example.. but it's fascinating, the different dimensions , could be some explanations of the paranormal.
Thank you, Andrew! I actually just discovered Danny a couple days ago, and I am fascinated by his open-minded approach to his “study” into the reality of ghosts. I was in my 40’s before I experienced a paranormal event, and even after having lived through it, I still struggle with believing my own experiences. Maybe it’s because there is so much skepticism surrounding experiencing anything paranormal? Or maybe it’s still hard for me to accept what happened. But I know what my family and I and my experienced over a 5 year period, and I know it was completely unexplainable.
What I’ve always wondered is, if ghosts exist, do we all become ghosts when we die? Or just some of us? I was staying in LA at my sisters house for two weeks back in the 90’s and was sharing a room with her 6mth year old daughter who was sleeping in a cot. I’d wake up in the night every so often to feel like there was some kind of presence in the room. It made me feel really creeped out. At the same time I felt the presence, my little niece would be standing up in her cot staring at something or someone. I never mentioned it to my sister. A year later she told me that she’d seen the door handle to that room turn by itself and that she felt for sure there was some kind of ghost in there. Neither my sister or I had even thought about stuff like that before.
Yes we all become a type of spirit. Every human being. I recommend Angels in my Hair by Lorna Byrne.
@@sarahharris2729 thanks Sarah!
I’m going to disagree, no, we don’t all become ghosts. The theory is that we all have a soul but most pass over onto the ‘other side’ soon after death. Only some souls don’t pass over - either because they have a strong emotional attachment to a place/person, can’t accept their own death, or do not dare pass on to the other side because they fear the judgement and consequences of what they did in life. Many of these do eventually pass on so may not remain ghosts forever.
When I first moved into my house I saw my father in law rummaging around in drawers in a downstairs bedroom in the dark. I was coming down the stairs looking directly at him, I just walked straight past him gathering washing with the basket under my arm. Walked into the living room directly next door to find he was sat there with my partner and dog 😫 I live on my own now in that house and I don’t really use that room for much😂 it has a stained glass door so I can never properly walk past without checking in and freaking myself out!!!!
I’ve seen a ghost in real life. It was terrifying. I figured out who he was though. It was the past lover of the woman that built the house that I lived it. The look on his face was. You aren’t her.....I never saw him again. He was bent over looking at me at night. You know when you get the feeling that someone is looking at you? Yeah that’s what happened in the middle of the night when I opened my eyes and saw him. They do look like what you think they do. Wispy white with hollow eyes and mouth
jesus frightening
For me , the most frightening horror movie is 1999's The Blair Witch Project. It allows your mind to fill in the blanks without any fancy effects.
I didn't think it was at all scarey. Was really disappointed
I couldn’t finish the film. I was petrified. And I watched it during the day…..
That was such a bust. All the hype & internet chatter made me excited to see it. Unfortunetly it was three kids running around in the wi!d
What an awesome interview and what a smart guy. I will check out Danny Robins podcasts. I am so glad I found your channel. I have learnt so much about the strangest things in the past couple of weeks.
Nice!!! I’m so interested in how quantum physics and string theory etc play into “paranormal” things.
Ummmm... I should have asked about that haha! But it's still fun
They don’t 🙂
I have a "haint" in my house that makes itself known periodically. About 15 years ago was the most concrete thing that happened when I heard a disembodied voice. My daughter and I were in our living room, and there was a very audible chuckle from the corner of the room near our fireplace. We both heard it and just looked at each other. It wasn't particularly scary, just very weird and made us curious what the heck just happened? We have had unexplained items come up missing, only to mysteriously reappear months or years later. Things will fall off shelves or pictures will be turned upside down on occasion. Nothing malicious. Also my wife has a collection of snow globes and a few of them play music. We never play them so they key is not wound up, but one night as I walked through the bedroom, one of them played for 5-10 seconds out of the blue. I was home alone so that was a bit creepy! LOL. I do not believe that departed souls walk the earth but I do believe that residual energy can stick around. And I also believe in demons, which are entities that have never been human but want to trick you into believing they are dead loved ones.
I have a toxic mother and a father that doesn't want anything to do with us anymore. I'm an only child...and how lucky am I....
I don't believe in such a thing as the devil...so he can't hurt me! But, as sad as it is...I don't have a fear of ghosts...because the real people in my life...are scary enough. Sorry Andrew, i didn't have any ghost stories for you. 🥺
Quite agree, that is frightening and horrible enough. Sending you love . xx
Exactly 🥰🌻🫖 and sympathy.
The big question is why ghosts appear to be most active at night? Once you are dead it can’t make any difference if it’s daylight or not.
Clearly a lot of alleged hauntings are wild imaginations after dark, houses settling, even places with high C02 are believed to make people feel unsettled. That said I do think there is an afterlife. People reporting what happened around them after being clinically dead convinces me.
My research shows that ghosts are 4 times more likely to be seen in the daytime.
@hiddendragon415 I doubt there is an afterlife, though I don't totally dismiss it.
But to be fair, a brain becoming starved of oxygen will create all sorts of 'reality'.
And studies show they are inconsistent enough to not be considered useful as evidence.
Sorry I’m texting again but at 33:54 he talks about a husband who took off his jeans and then never saw them again. When my husband and I stayed at the Queens hotel in Aberdeen , Scotland. Winston Churchill frequently stayed there in his time. But my husband ironed his pants to where for the next day and laid them on the back of the chair. When we woke up the next morning , both pants leg were wet. We looked up at the very high ceilings to see if there was a leek. We found nothing. We have no explanation as to how that happened 🤷♀️ I emailed the hotel and asked if they had hauntings and never heard back 🙄
I believe in ghosts because of things that have happened to me, but Derek Acorah is the biggest fake going. I'll never forget him doing a Most Haunted on Pendle Hill, not far from me, and he said he could feel the presence of alien ghosts lol
The BBC Ghost Watch programme was brilliant, people should watch it
Danny is correct- be careful what you wish for.
Experiencing the unexplainable is truly not something that gives warm fuzzies.
I’m enjoying this conversation.
Thanks Deborah!
Omg! How weird!! I was watching this for the first time rn and just an hour ago I was talking about Hill House with my husband and specifically how creepy the bent neck lady was! That was one of the creepiest twists of all time. I mean, she was haunting HERSELF. And then when she is basically hallucinating dancing with her husband at their wedding but she’s just really in the house after it’s been abandoned dancing by herself 😮😅
I just got shivers reading that. Scariest thing I’ve ever seen
@@AndrewGold1 dude I know that scene stayed with me for a while lol have you seen the second season? The one based on the novel your referencing in the video? It’s called the haunting of bly manor and it’s based on the turn of the screw. That one is pretty good too!
Regarding the story Danny tells about the medium who knew the last words of someone’s best friend. He thinks it’s hard to explain, but if you listen to the podcast episode, you learn that it was after the medium’s show had finished and she’d walked over to her group of friends who were with the medium and had been talking alone with her for a while.
In the podcast Danny pointedly asks if she had ever mentioned the story of her best friend’s last words to anyone in the group, who may have passed it on to the medium. Instead of giving a firm “Yes” or “No”, she pauses and then says, “But why would they do that?”.
Sometimes we just unconsciously believe what we want to believe.
Absolutely!
This woman believes a dead person is talking to her through a random stranger when all the clues point in the direction of her friends having told the last words to the medium (obviously!).
She's utterly idiotic, there's no two ways about it.
There was a story where multiple witnesses saw a Roman legion making its way through some town in southern England..broad daylight. Have you heard this story?
On Watling Street, this has been recorded, word of mouth many times.. a very long old road of course
Watling Street, the A5, yes that's a Roman road. There's also a Roman legion said to go round in my city, in Gaia Lane in Lichfield/Staffordshire. The whole of Lichfield is haunted like there's no tomorrow. I haven't seen the Roman legion yet and I've driven through Gaia Lane a few times during darkness, but I've met someone who has seen them. The cathedral is definitely haunted and by something not good, I won't even walk past it any more, I can sense something really bad there.
No it was in Treasurers House, York. Goe Harry Marten
I am a healthy skeptic and I truly believe in the paranormal having experienced a few incidents after my brother's untimely death.
Ok serious one, I used to get exploding head syndrome and sleep paralysis. I'd be drifting to sleep then I'd feel a build up of pressure in my head but instead of an explosion, it'd be a big ZAP of electricity inside of my head, with an accompanying electric sounding noise. One time it played a perfect G chord but with no plectrum attacking the strings. That type of thing used to be super regular.
With the paralysis though, often after a bottle of wine and a vindaloo/pizza. Too much booze and salt. Anyway, I'd sometimes feel a heavy blanket placed over me, then the room would get very ominous. I'd hear a low-frequency rumble that'd get very loud and I'd be convinced there was someone in the room with me. Usually a burglar - not like, a demonic entity or anything.
Then there's the lucid dreaming that sometime came with it, but that was rare and very fun.
My mum used to suffer quite regularly with exploding head syndrome. I've only experienced it once. It's a very strange phenomenon
BLOODY HELL KEN!👻
We moved into a house several years ago and my partner and I were just sat reading one evening and then suddenly we heard what sounded like a small brass bell being rung in the kitchen, which was located just off where we were sat in the lounge. I looked at my partner and he looked at me and said "what was that" I went to look in the kitchen and there was nothing there. Then a few weeks later I came home from work and found a small brass weight like the type used on old fashioned weighing scales. I couldn't understand where it had came from, I had never seen it before. so I asked my partner when he got home from work and he had no idea where it has come from either. We hadn't had anyone staying or visiting so it was a complete mystery. Thank goodness that's the only spookey things that happened in the house. I sometimes wonder if some people are more susceptible, if that's the right word, to seeing ghosts and if either of us were more susceptible would more have happened?
Many years ago before I married I shared a flat with another girl in a relatively old house.
To be woken in a half sleep by a elderly women asking me to hold her hand because she was scared. It was a strange and slightly frightening experience I never spoke to any one about it.
Years later married with children my sister was with me, we were just talking and she mentioned how she had spent the night with me in the flat and then went on to relate how she was woken in the night by a elderly lady, asking to hold her hand. I had goosebumps as I realised we had both experienced the same thing, so it was definitely not a dream. She even described her as I had seen her it was uncanny.
My husband says he does NOT believe however years ago we were staying with my grandparents and the guest room was a place my uncle who died young used to sleep and my husband woke up startled and said he saw him standing at the foot of the bed. My aunt said she had to turn off water faucets in that same home. Scary stuff😮
The only experience i have had was when i spoke to a tarot reader, she said to me "you've lost a baby recently"...it had been a year prior but she couldn't have known, and she also picked up that i had been struggling to get pregnant again and that I would fall pregnant but not just yet she also said i would have my 1st girl...specifically she said FIRST girl and she said i would have her in the summer time. I hadn't told her i already had 3 children who were all boys so again she couldn't have known.
Not long after that we stopped trying for a baby because it was becoming too stressful, a
year later i fell pregnant and i did have a girl...she was also born in early summer.
I had friends who became involved with a spiritualist church and they told me you should only answer 'yes' or 'no' for this reason. So yoy give away as little as possible.
They also said anyone can be a medium, and one went through mediumship training and invited us over so she could practice. It was fascinating to watch. She was told to clear her mind and just say the first image that came to mind and if the person could relate to this. It did work for one of the guests - how it works, mystical or simply suggestion is obviously open to oppinion.
We are energy. I saw my first ghost at age 2-3 yrs old. My experience has been very different through life. Just started being open about it because people are more open.
Yes, Americans, at least some of us, use the term "cardigan".
P.S. Just because we cannot see a phenomenon or explain it in a currently conventional manner, doesn't mean it does not exist.
I’m right handed with a scar on my left knee..haha. I have to agree, anyone I know who have used “mediums” to connect with their loved ones often find it comforting and a way to be able to move on from such a traggic and difficult personal loss. Particularily a loss of a child.
I have multiple scars on both knees, which only means I’m very clumsy 😅 (although I do use my left hand a lot for a right handed person…)
Great interview! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Awesome, thank you!
Intrigued! I mostly believe. Great content on your channel thank you - I'm really enjoying watching primarily because you're the spitting image of my dad when he was young!
Aw lovely !
The Hillsborough disaster was a fatal human crush at a football match at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, on 15 April 1989. It occurred during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the two standing-only central pens in the Leppings Lane stand allocated to Liverpool supporters. Shortly before kick-off, in an attempt to ease overcrowding outside the entrance turnstiles, the police match commander, David Duckenfield, ordered exit gate C to be opened, leading to an influx of supporters entering the pens. This resulted in overcrowding of those pens and the crush. With 97 deaths and 766 injuries, it has the highest death toll in British sporting history.
I am from Sheffield and used to go in that stand with my grandparents as a kid. It seems to me like some sort of karma or curse that was sent after the Heisel stadium deaths (violent hooligans from Liverpool caused a terrible tragedy).
I saw a funny clip in which a bloke pretending to be a psychic approached people in the street. First two young office/shop workers on their lunch break. He said he saw travel in the near future. It was early summer. They were astonished and told him they were just about to apply for passports for their upcoming holiday. Next were three scally-looking lads about 19. He asked if any of them had a scar on their leg. Half of men have a scar on their leg, we were told later. The lads were gobsmacked that he could know one of them had a scar. He then asked about trouble with the police. Their heads exploded.
The guy’s jeans, and my dog’s collar, have fallen into the 4th dimension. Take collar off doggo. Give doggo bath. WHERE IS DOGGO’S COLLAR? I’ve been looking for it for months. Taken apart the furniture. Looked under everything. It HAS to be in the house. I know where everything is at my house & still no collar.
Fourth dimension. 🤷🏻♀️
Some of my best friends are dead people!
Great interview Andrew. ❤️
Yes I believe. I’ve had a few of my own experiences in my life that I know there is another realm of existence.
Watching this segment from one year ago reminded me of seeing that Heol Fanog documentary on a few weeks ago. Never believed in any phenomenon but me Yank mates from America lived near that Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, and now I’m somewhat of a believer after visiting. Utah, Big Sky country Montana, the Scottish Highlands, Iceland, and the Welsh countryside near Heol all gave off strange vibes that haven’t felt since my stint in Afghanistan working as a medic. Not that it was full of bad memories, but parts of those mountainous regions without much did give off strange vibes.
My dad died 31 years ago and from the day he passed i have looked for signs from him and even hoped to see him because he always told me that when he died if there was any possible way to let me know that there was an afterlife he would come to me . Nothing has ever happened . Zilch. Does that mean there is no afterlife or just that my dad can’t reach me ? Who knows ! It is fascinating though.
I really like Andrew the host here and also his guest Danny . I am going to enjoy this….
Does Danny ever sleep? He is behind so many things!!! Incredibly inspiring and creative. Wow!
I’m pissing myself. I bought that song. Not only that I made everyone listen to it. You two have made me laugh my bloody head off.
haha! glad you're enjoying!
I can see how a poster of Lilly Allen could seem like it could be possesed... she does have that kind of vibe at times :)😀
Working on the Navajo Reservation there were 4 of us that started seeing a male Navajo looking in the ice cream case after a grave had been disturbed by a bridge being replaced. Out in that area the Navajos had a Ghostway Ceremony that we took part in. We never saw him again.
What you are talking about is my normal . I saw spirit as a child and it disappeared until I was 31 years old. After giving birth to my daughter I realised something had changed. Then I started seeing spirit again. I now give people messages from spirit . I don’t expect you to believe me ! Something I can tell you is that spirit is not evil . Never have i come across an evil spirit. They are mostly loved ones trying to get messages to family and friends xxx
I used to live in a house with several supernatural occurrences, the worst experience was several scratches/welts appeared on my lower back with no apparent reason, it freaked me out and my partner thought I had cheated on her lol, safe to say 5 years on in our new house it doesnt appear the entity has followed us here
two months ago, i was dragged out of bed, flipped over and crashed on the ground. my knee was scraped badly and i had bruising on my chest. My fiance found me thankfully. It was chilling. in my experience, it does not bode well for us who have these experiences, especially in my career. However, i follow the facts & know what happened. i hope you are living as peacefully as possible lol!!

@@VaughanMcCue STOP DOING THIS. It's really annoying.
I have lived off and on in my old family home, which is haunted. I could write a book about this whole neighborhood and some of the home within it. I'm back home, and depend on Jesus for my protection.
Where's your town ?.
Just three weeks before my 21st birthday, my Dads father died. He was known as Poppa, my Mum and Dad went down to see him, he had been unwell for a while, my Auntie had been looking after my Poppa and Dad and Mum went to give her a break.
They had only been there a couple of days and Poppa had a severe stroke.
Two days later Poppa had another stroke at 03.40 I woke up at that time and i could see Poppa he was stood at the bottom of my bed, he was smiling, i smiled back told him I loved him and then he faded away, I knew he passed away. Mum called fairly early about 7am. And before she said a word I told her Poppa died at 03.40 and that he’d visited before crossing over. My Mum just went quiet. All my Mum said was can you tell your sisters.
I had more experiences when I was a child. But nothing since other than orbs.
I think our house was haunted, when I was a kid. Strange things happened, things would go missing and then reappear where we'd already looked, and once I had a scary thing happen in the basement (it's always the basement), where my older brother's room was. I went upstairs and asked my mother if she'd ever noticed anything in the basement - she went white and when I asked her how my brother felt about it she just said "we don't talk about it". And we never talked about it again.
The old bucket of white paint on the top of the door trick. Like Maxwell Smart would recognise after it fell on him.

My husband put a shirt down and it disappeared..... into the wheely bin unfortunately it teleported back into the washbasket after he discovered it screwed up at the bottom of the bin out on his recycling mission
I’m an atheist but I suspect there’s something more going on that we can’t come to grips with. I’ve had so many crazy unexplainable events happen that I couldn’t talk myself out of or debunk. Because of it, I’m on the verge of believing we carryon as an energy. Sounds insane but I can’t knock the feeling that it could be a possibility.
I was atheist for 25 years, you're on the right path. Gnostic texts and Kybalion might be of use to you as a starting point.
@@notsocrates9529 I appreciate that. Thanks!
Did anyone notice the wispy transparent type of ord at 35 minutes and 52 seconds. It comes up behind Danny's microphone then disappears to the right. I've watched it a few times now and I can't quite make it out but it's not dust or hair and it was going upwards.
I’ve had several readings from mediums, telling me that I would change my job of 22 years, it happened. That i had a new home on the fifth floor, when I’d just bought a two storey house, which was repossessed, and my new council home?
A fifth storey council flat.
The one about the disappearing jeans resonated with me as I had a similar experience just last year. I had printed off an A4 photograph of my son and his girlfriend ready to frame it. The doorbell rang just as I was readying the frame, so I laid the picture on the table and went to answer it. When I returned, less than a minute later, the picture was gone, never to be seen again. I was completely alone in the house. I second-guessed myself over and over again, had I really printed it off, was it in my imagination, but no. I had physically printed it off, physically held it in my hands to admire it, physically put it on the table. Of course, it was easy just to print off another picture but I have often wondered where the original is now. I like to think it is adorning a deceased family member's heavenly mantlepiece. 😃
Hello Andrew!
Greetings from Jacksonville Florida!
I must tell you I was expecting a few ghost stories, some sound effects and possibly a few ghost pictures and such. Of course, I have never heard of your guest before!! 😆. So, I didn't know if what he was talking about was available on line, in a special Halloween show
or on British tv. You were delightful as usual.love you. 🥰.
