The hotel that I work in is an old building - 100/150 years old at least - and the fact that our derelict basement level still has the same fittings from when it was used for ballrooms, gyms, spas, kitchen, restaurant, a nightclub and so on up until the nineties can contribute to an uneasy feeling amongst the staff. A chef also had an epileptic fit while working in the basement kitchen sometime in the 1990s, and had an accident that led to his death on the property.
Anyway, if I'm cooking breakfast in the morning, I'll arrive there for 6am, and at that time there's only two other staff in, both of which stay at the reception area. To get to the kitchen area, you walk from the reception, up a flight of stairs by the bar, past the bar, through the dining room and down a short corridor. If I'm in the kitchen by myself at that time, I'll hear disembodied footsteps coming down the corridor, which sets the light sensitive lights off but no one's ever there as I go and look, and that happens at least once a week. Likewise I occasionally feel someone watching me in there, and if I'm in the corridor by myself I can hear scuffing footsteps in the empty kitchen. One of my work colleagues confirmed last night that he's experienced the exact same things and more. I also heard a disembodied voice say my name (not even my full name but a shortened version) while in the ladies' toilets once when no body else was in that area of the building. |

I don’t wish to mock people’s beliefs around the paranormal however I will believe it when I see it. I have upon occasion actively sort it out.
As Fox Mulder’s poster says I want to believe. It’s just not happening. |

I tend to take other people's different stories with a pinch of salt as I base my opinions on what I see for myself rather than heresy if that makes sense.
Like I've worked in other supposedly haunted places which I later researched for myself, but as I never experienced phenomenon myself in those places I wasn't convinced. |

Carl Sagan admitted he heard his parents' voices after they died. As a scientist he knew his brain was vividly recalling their voices and there weren't ectoplasmic entities rattling about upstairs.
Quantum theorists believe our conciousnesses may live on after we die. That deosn't mea Dorris Stokes will be able to talk to your grandma. They're not sure what it means but they say out consciousnesses don't adhere to classical scientific laws - gravity, magentism, etc - but they do fit perfectly into the duality of quantum theory.
One prof from the Max Planck institute put it in computing terms. When you die, your data (consciousness) is still on your hard drive (brain) and it's already been uploaded to the Internet (the universe).
It's actually very easy to scam people with psychic phenomena and the Skeptics' Society has 'Learn to be Psychic in 10 Easy Lessons' for anybody who fancies giving it a bash.
For youtube viewing, just search for James Randi. I love him and his beard. |

Doris Stokes used to use the information from the letters people sent to her before a show. She was a fake.
I went to see Sally Morgan earlier this year, one of her messages I felt was aimed at me. She was talking about Wally/Wal.and a big fish pond with fish in, then she said Big Koi, which I have. But Wally my grandad died 42 years ago and would not be trying to contact me. She is a fake also, she probably gets the information off Facebook ect.
I do believe in some stuff though, there may well be ghosts and other stuff. But if it's a money making person, then it's very highly likely to be bullshit. |

i moved into a house share years ago..the other residents told a story about a man called eric who's wife killed herself, and you could sometimes hear her calling him, everyone had heard it clearly, over many years....and i heard it too, clear as day, a womans voice, very quietly calling his name, many many times..after a couple of years of living there, we had a new boiler fitted, fixed a hole in the wall behind it, and hey presto no more 'eeeriiic' everytime it was windy..thats all it was..by that time there were stories of things being mysteriously moved etc..i think that just because there seems no rational explanation for something doesnt mean its paranormal, just means no one's found it yet. |

I've told this before on here.
There was an early morning cleaner where I worked who I used to exchange "good mornings" with. I didn't see him for a while so was eased one morning that he was standing in reception and said good morning to him, he nodded in return. That afternoon as I drove out I saw him cycle away.
I mentioned to a colleague that I'd seen him and she replied that he'd died about six weeks ago.
I don't offer any explanation because I don't have one. |
