Phantom Phonecall

About 3 years ago I was staying at my girlfriends house which was in the town of Haltwhistle in Northumberland, England. We had just got back from a day trip at about 6pm and were sitting out in the back yard enjoying the sun (rare for this part of England!), I'd been into the kitchen for a drink and came to sit down, at this moment the phone rang, my girlfriend went to answer it in the living room. After a few mins she came back white as a sheet, the story she told me chilled me to the bone, apparently when she answered it there was a quiet, almost gruff sounding voice on the other end who introduced himself as her uncle Bob.

She greeted him (although she hadnt heard from him for about 20 years), he told her that he was proud of her and tht she was a strong person and she needed to continue to be strong in the years to come because they would be challenging, but not impossible. She thanked him for his good advice and was about to exchange niceties such as "how are you" and "where are you living?" etc.. when the line went dead, no ring tone or the click you would hear when a phone was put down, just silence.

She tried for a few mins to get him back on the line, there was nothing. after a few seconds the dialing tone came back and the phone sounded as normal. She rang her mum to ask her as she would have an idea as to why her uncle had rung, after a short pause she turned to me and said "my uncle Bobs been dead ten years at least"...

Phantoms

When I was 15 years old my family and I emigrated to Ontario, Canada where my father worked in the Steel plant. Dad was very ill and sick in bed when I went with my friends to the youth club. On the way home I said "Here comes Dad to meet us" There was no mistaking him, a miner, short, bandy legged with his flat cap on his head. I rushed towards him, wondering how he had recovered so quickly, but as I approached he was gone. When I got home I he was in a coma and died a few hours later. To this day I believe that it was his departing spirit that came to me to say Good-bye. I loved him so much and will never forget this experience that happened so long ago now

The Rainbow Vase

I am a small-town undertaker. Part of my business is the sale of headstones. I sold a large monument, consisting of two upright gray granite stones separated by a white marble vase on a granite base. The buyer was the widow of an independent trucker, and his upright was engraved with a picture of his Peterbilt diesel truck. I set the monument on its' concrete base and called the lady to tell her it was complete. Twenty minutes later, she called my office. "How did you ever find a vase the same deep turquoise color as my husband's truck?" she asked. I had epoxied a white marble vase onto the monument's base, not a turquoise one, and I told her that. I got into my car and met her at the cemetery, and, sure enough, the vase was white. As we watched, the vase turned a deep shade of turquoise. We were amazed. In a very few minutes, the vase turned white again. I called my vase supplier, and he said that marble never, ever changes color like that. A few weeks later, on a Sunday, the widow called me again. She said that I should come to the cemetery. The vase was a bright rose pink color. I asked her if that color meant anything to her, and she said that it was the exact color of her wedding gown, and that it was her fortieth anniversary that day. This is a true story, and there are a number of witnesses.

The Red Lion Avebury

I spent a night in The Avenue room at The Red Lion in Avebury. Not only were there light anomalies over the bed during the night, but during the day I saw a large blue ball of light appear between myself and the electrical socket as I was about to put my phone charger in. At this point I was approximately 2 feet from the wall socket so I imagine that the blue "orb" was approx 1 foot away from myself and the wall. This "orb" was about the size of a tennis ball, it appeared and then exploded. I was so shocked that I jumped backward, my friend who was with me asked me what had happened. When i told her she told me that she had already seen the same ball of light over the double bed. During the night it appeared again at the foot of the bed. The lights that I saw most regularly in there were approximately the size of a marble.

One of them was a dark blue the other a red colour. I'm aware that blue is associated with healing but unsure about red. There were lots of cold spots in the room and my dowsing rods kept indicating that there was a presence in the far right corner of the outside room facing the stone circle and street outside. An American guy that was staying in the Inn to, asked if he could take a look at the room at approximately 11:20pm. He insisted on switching the lights out and shutting the curtains so that he could see anything spiritual. I was aware of the two smaller coloured orbs following him around the room.

He was particularly attracted to the corner mentioned before. I actually saw him being chased out of this corner by a bright, flame orange light that imprinted a shape like a reverse"L" in the corner. He ran out of the room, very quickly followed by myself. During the night I awoke around 3 am and could not get back to sleep again. There was the sound of tapping on the window, paper being ripped near the door, orbs over the bed and finally a female(?) figure in a cape and bonnet. Like something out of Pride And Prejudice.
