1 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Scary Era Era is the Irish or Gaelic word for Ireland. 2 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,120 Paranormal means all the things that are impossible to explain 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,120 by non natural forces or by science, and Ireland is 4 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:29,600 steep and lower. Ghosts, blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice, hunger, desperation 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,640 and charm. Oh and the paranormal. Welcome to Scary Era, 6 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,640 Mark Manning. 7 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: Mark won't be with us in this special episode of 8 00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:49,880 Scary Era, apart from in spirit of course girdld as 9 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,799 Mark wants to honor women and the paranormal with this conceptual, 10 00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:58,159 as he calls it, He insisted that only female voices 11 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,079 should be featured. If you listen, you'll be enlightened and 12 00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:08,079 hopefully intrigued by the paranormal experiences of women, from the 13 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,640 wilds of Ireland's County Mayo to eerie happenings in Clapham's Flatlands, 14 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,519 over to the faded glory of Wexford's Lofty's Hall and 15 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:23,840 across Offley's Charleville Castle. Even Gwen Johnson, widow of sadly 16 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,959 missed British medium and TV personality Derek Acorah, has a 17 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,640 tale to tell and more women may be more perceptive 18 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:41,359 of the paranormal and supernatural due to a combination of biological, psychological, 19 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,640 and cultural factors. Studies suggests that women often have a 20 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:51,239 higher emotional intelligence and intuition, allowing them to notice subtle 21 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:56,319 cues others might miss. Historically, women have been linked to 22 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,599 mystical roles such as healers, witches, or mediums, strengthening their 23 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,799 openness to the unseen. Social conditioning also encourages women to 24 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:12,599 express emotions and trust their instincts, making them more receptive 25 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,639 to paranormal experiences or energies beyond the physical realm. I'm 26 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,759 Sarah Campbell, radio broadcaster, event host and voice actor. Between 27 00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,759 the world we see and the things we fear, there 28 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:41,719 are doors. When they are opened, nightmares become reality. Tara 29 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,599 Moore author, originally from County Kildare, Ireland, now resident in 30 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:48,080 England for many years. 31 00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: I thought though that since I've been living in England 32 00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:55,080 for so many years now, I'd concentrate on a few 33 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,400 stories of my time there and leave the Irish side 34 00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:02,199 of things for another day. It was sometime in nineteen 35 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,599 eighty five and my husband and I moved into a 36 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,240 flat in Clapham North in London. It was an old house, 37 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,159 like many of them. There an old Victorian. It was 38 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:18,120 divided into three flats. We were at the top. Two 39 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:21,400 friends of ours, Ali and Elaine, lived on the first floor, 40 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400 and there was an ancient looking woman from Haiti living 41 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:29,520 in the basement, and naturally it was rumored that she 42 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,800 was into the odd bit of voodoo. Now I don't 43 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840 know if she was or not, but what I can 44 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,000 say is that the smells that came out of that 45 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:42,000 flat were like nothing I've smelt before or since, stomach churning, 46 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,120 to say the least. For all I know, it could 47 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,599 have been an eye of mute or to a frog, 48 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:49,400 but anyway, I'll just leave that with you. 49 00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: I suppose. 50 00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: The first peculiar thing that happened is that every now 51 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:57,800 and then a nebulous white shape would appear at the 52 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960 top of the landing as I came up this ste 53 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,560 and that used to sort of bring. 54 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: Me up short. 55 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: It was a cold old house anyway, but it always 56 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,919 seemed to get colder, and I got the sense that 57 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,919 this thing, whatever it was, was evil. The sense was 58 00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:18,160 that it didn't want me there, And to tell you 59 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:20,639 the truth, I didn't want to be there, but it 60 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,879 was hard to get a flat at a decent rent 61 00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:26,240 at that time, and so there was no option but 62 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,759 to stay put. Anyway, I coped with that by saying 63 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,120 a little prayer our mother taught us as kids, there's 64 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,519 nothing to fear because Jesus is here, his love is delight, 65 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,199 which makes all things come right. I used to say 66 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,680 it aloud, and it must have worked, because the thing 67 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,120 would disappear. Sometimes I might catch a glimpse of it 68 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,199 in the mirror bee behind me, and I'd say the 69 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,079 prayer again. In that way, I suppose I just got 70 00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:55,680 used to it. But after a while things kind of 71 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,600 hot it up. We were woken up one night by 72 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,920 the sound of screaming coming from our friend's flat below. 73 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,360 We went rushing down. I don't think we thought that 74 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,360 bit through properly, and just as we reached their door, 75 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,319 it flew open and Ali raced out. Now Ali was 76 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,759 a big man, six foot plus and didn't scare easily, 77 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,120 but his eyes were like saucers and he was babbling incoherently. 78 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,279 He pointed back into the flat and we ran into 79 00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:27,439 the bedroom. Guided by Elaine's screams. We found her sitting 80 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,560 up in the bed, as white as a ghost. Herself 81 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,199 staring at a spot on the mattress where there was 82 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,439 a deep depression, as if somebody was sitting beside her. 83 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,399 Speaker 4: The room was like an ice box. 84 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: We couldn't take our eyes away from the spot, but 85 00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,959 as we stared, the depression faded away, as if someone 86 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,920 had got up. 87 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 4: Well. 88 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,199 Speaker 3: They moved out the very next day, but before they 89 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480 went they told us that Elaine had gone to bed 90 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,519 first and was dozing off when she felt Ali come 91 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,879 in and sit down beside her. Then a sixth sense 92 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,519 alerted her to the fact that it wasn't Ali, and 93 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,480 the rest, as they say, is history. We stayed on 94 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,439 mainly because we'd know her else to go, and we 95 00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,360 wouldn't have got our deposit back from the landlord, and 96 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:15,279 we couldn't afford that. 97 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 5: Anyway. 98 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,959 Speaker 3: Winter came and my brother in law came to stay 99 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800 for a few days. The weather was absolutely awful that year. 100 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,040 It was freezing and it was a heavy fall of snow. 101 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,920 We'd only want bedroom, so he had to sleep on 102 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:34,160 the couch. Well, rinse and repeat, as they say. We 103 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,759 were woken in the middle of the night again by 104 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:40,279 loud screaming. We found the brother in law chucking on 105 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,319 his clothes at the speed of light. He said, he 106 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,240 woke up feeling a heavy weight on his chest and 107 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,759 the feel of fingers around his throat strangling him. Now, 108 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,279 truth to tell, he did like a drink or two, 109 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,560 but there was no denying the red finger marks on 110 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,639 his neck. Nothing would persuade him to stay over till morning. Instead, 111 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,439 he chose to go out and walk in the freezing 112 00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,360 streets till dawn. To be honest, we'd had enough ourselves 113 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,879 at that stage, and deposit or no deposit, we moved 114 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:12,959 out shortly after. 115 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: Kiva Govi of Paranormal Adventures Ireland. 116 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,759 Speaker 6: There's only ever been once that I've ever been caught 117 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,639 off guard in the paranormal field, and that's in Wicklow Jail. 118 00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,759 It was around Halloween and we were polding a public 119 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,560 investigation and we were down in the basement. I don't 120 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,560 know why, but for some stranger reason, like I got 121 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,560 this like weird overwhelming feeling that I needed to go 122 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:58,519 every floor of stairs up to the top by myself, 123 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:06,040 of course, and I rushed my way up and I'm 124 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,800 standing there and I'm looking out and if you know 125 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,120 that Wicklow Jail, it's basically railings the whoay around and 126 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,759 then you can see the drop down. You can see 127 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:20,480 across the jail, and I'm looking out and it's dark. 128 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,480 I don't even have my torch on, and looking across 129 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:30,040 and it's not too pitch black because the moon is 130 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:34,240 shining in the windows. And I see this shadow figure 131 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,279 across the way, the entire way across the jail from me. 132 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,039 And what was different about this shadow figure was that 133 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:49,480 it had what I can only describe as wings. And 134 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,559 I'm just there and I'm staring at it, and I 135 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,799 see it grab on to the railings on front of 136 00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:06,159 it and pull one leg over the railing and dive 137 00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:12,879 down into the ground, down the jail and disappear. And 138 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:19,159 I was, honestly, I was terrified. I was so terrified. 139 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,399 I've never been so scared in my life. I booked 140 00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:28,480 it out of there. I ran so fast, but I 141 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:32,440 went down the wrong way. So in Wicklow Jail, from 142 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360 where I was standing, there's two sets of stairs, one 143 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,840 to the left, one to the right. To the left 144 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,240 is the set of stairs that isn't usually used, so 145 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,320 it's chained off on every level. And I went to 146 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,240 the left, trying to get away as quickly as possible 147 00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,159 because my brain wasn't thinking. And I'm running down these 148 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:55,559 stairs and I'm literally trying to hop across chains and 149 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,919 almost falling over. And I get down to the bottom 150 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,960 where we had set up for like tea and coffee 151 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,159 and everything, and I turn around to the rest of 152 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,080 the team and I'm like, I don't think you guys 153 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,159 will believe what I just saw. They asked what, obviously, 154 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:18,679 and I explained to them what I had seen, and 155 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,120 all of them are very confused and they remember this 156 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,679 night so clearly because I was so confused. I'm also 157 00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:32,799 freaking out. I'm like, what the fuck did I just 158 00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:36,879 see it? Like, you know, what did I see? There 159 00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:39,840 was not much, like there was nothing that I had 160 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:45,799 in my brain to explain it. So we finish up 161 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,200 our investigation with the public and we're on our way 162 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,600 out and everything's fine, and I'm still my heart is 163 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:58,080 still beating in my chest. I'm still feeling nervous. I 164 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,600 don't know what's going on. I'm very shaken up. So 165 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,879 I get on my phone as soon as I get 166 00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:11,799 into the car, and I'm googling you know shadow figure 167 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:16,840 with wings, you know angel shadow figure, because like that's 168 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:19,639 all I could think of because of the wings, I 169 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360 thought it was an angel, like I just didn't know, 170 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,120 but like I didn't understand why it was a black shadow. 171 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,320 And three stories come up, and the first story wasn't relevant, 172 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,840 it was like a fan fiction. The second story was 173 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,279 of this guy who had seen this thing and he 174 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,600 didn't know what it was. He was very confused to 175 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,720 And the third story was from this guy another guy 176 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,279 and it was on Reddit and he turns he says 177 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,240 that you know, this is the angel of death and 178 00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:05,120 if you see it, basically you're supposed to die. And 179 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,759 at that moment, I was terrified because I was like, oh, 180 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:21,159 you know, that's fantastic, That's exactly what I want. 181 00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: And. 182 00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 6: Terrified like I'm I'm I'm shaking, like I don't know 183 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:26,600 what to think, what to believe. This is the only 184 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,399 story I can find out about this on the internet. 185 00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:33,679 And then where we end up doing a podcast a 186 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,840 few weeks later with this lady who knows all of 187 00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:41,600 her angels. So I ask her about it and she 188 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:48,519 says that I've seen Azrael, who's an angel in the 189 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,840 Judaism religion, and that he very souls to the underworld 190 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,919 and to heaven and everywhere, and that it wasn't meaning 191 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,039 that I was going to die. It was just that 192 00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:04,840 he was there to take some souls, and I was like, oh, 193 00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:10,039 fair enough, and it really soothed my nerves. I didn't 194 00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:15,080 feel like I was going to die anymore. But then 195 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,120 recently I actually told this story on another podcast. It's 196 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,519 three for three and the night of the eclipse that 197 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,679 happened only a few weeks ago, and go outside because 198 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,399 it looks so weird. The sky is so orange and 199 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,600 purple and green and blue and all of the colors, 200 00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:43,960 and we're looking up at the clouds from our front door, 201 00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:50,879 and I have photos, but in the photos you can 202 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,919 see this like gray shadow in the orange clouds, and 203 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,919 it's like a man with wings and he's like, you know, 204 00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:07,480 looking around. And then this the clouds weren't moving, so 205 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:12,759 I cannot explain this in the photos, the gray cloud. 206 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,679 Only the gray cloud moves and it comes the whole 207 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:21,080 way around, and it gets ginormous and like almost rests 208 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,399 its hands on top of the orange cloud that's in 209 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,840 front of it, and like leans in and looks at us. 210 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,799 And I've never felt that uneasy since that night. But 211 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:42,200 at the same time, I felt so calm, and I 212 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,919 never thought I'd have an update to the angel story ever, 213 00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:53,240 but I feel like I've now had two encounters with 214 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480 the same angel, and I don't know what that means, 215 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,200 and it's something I going to be looking into over 216 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,159 the next god for the rest of my life in 217 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,519 all honesty, because I do feel incredibly lucky to be 218 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,879 one of these people who can say, well, I've seen 219 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:17,000 an angel. It's a kind of cool story. 220 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: Samantha Kelly Phoenix files Era. 221 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 7: Looking back now, my passion for the paranormal started from 222 00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:28,919 a very young age. I was heavily influenced by my 223 00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:33,960 great grandfather, who loved all things supernatural and paranormal. He 224 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:38,360 literally babysat me with tales of the Banshee and the 225 00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:42,080 Puka and the little people and so growing up, I 226 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,759 always had a passion to know more. Were they really 227 00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:48,360 out there? Could they communicate back? And so ghost stories 228 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:54,440 became my bedtime reading, and I guess into adulthood then 229 00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:56,799 of course there is no option but to be a 230 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:01,080 paranormal investigator. I began investigating a fishal in twenty ten 231 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,440 and I caught my very first EVP, and I have 232 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,399 to say, I know their investigators out there will agree. 233 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:12,320 When you catch that first piece of evidence, that irrefutable 234 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,240 thing that you know for sure wasn't influenced by anything. 235 00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:19,200 It's not a Tommy grumble, it's not a flash of light, 236 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,720 it's not anything that can be explained. There is a 237 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,399 thrilling moment of oh my god, this is it when 238 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:31,919 something intelligently answers you and gets to talk back to you. 239 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,000 It is an amazing experience. With the advancement of the 240 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,799 new technologies and all the different ways we have now 241 00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:44,679 to investigate, I see things changing so much. It's amazing 242 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:48,240 to watch that communication can be sped up. We're getting 243 00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:53,480 answers now quicker than ever before, and that's so cool 244 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:56,720 to see and to live through in my lifetime. In 245 00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:01,440 twenty eleven, I went to Charlieville, cat to do one 246 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,759 paranormal night and to say that I fell head over 247 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,480 heels in love with the castle, with the people and 248 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,920 the team that run at and it's amazing history, well 249 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,279 that's an understatement. The next day I signed on to 250 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,559 become a volunteer, and I have been volunteering there ever since. 251 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,039 I do a lot of the paranormal stuff at the castle. 252 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: But I also do. 253 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:26,079 Speaker 7: Daytime tours for the history people, and we do a 254 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,519 lot of cleaning and minding and upkeep of the castle, 255 00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:33,720 and then handle movies, TV shows, the wedding photos, things 256 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:34,720 like that, anything. 257 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,079 Speaker 4: That comes true. 258 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:39,039 Speaker 7: So it's quite a varied catalog of events that we cover. 259 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:43,240 But I think being there and giving these tours, talking 260 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,759 about the history of the family, talking about their legacy, 261 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,839 all of these things, I think it creates such a 262 00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:54,519 unique experience with the paranormal. I feel like they nearly 263 00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:57,000 know us. They know us by name. I've had my 264 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,160 name said multiple times in multiple ways, even to visiting 265 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,960 investigators from America or Australia. They'll catch my name on 266 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:10,599 a spurt box or EVP or something like that. So 267 00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:15,559 it definitely has heavily influenced the activity we experience at 268 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:20,079 the castle. One of my favorite stories is from years ago. 269 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:23,079 It was a march, I'll never forget it. It was quite 270 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,359 cold and we decided we would sweep and mock Harriet's staircase. Now, 271 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,640 Harriet is one of our more famous residents. She passed 272 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,920 away at the age of eight when she fell from 273 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,640 the principal staircase at the castle, and so we were 274 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,079 sweeping the stairs and we got to the last flight, 275 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,920 and I asked my cousin Nadine, would she mind running 276 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,799 down and getting them up boocket in them up and 277 00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:47,440 we would wash it and I'd sweep that last flight. 278 00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:50,759 She said grand, and so she went out. And just 279 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:55,240 for a reference, the volunteer's kitchen is down two flights 280 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,039 of stairs and in the sub basement over the far 281 00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:00,720 side of the castle, so she was quite distance from 282 00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:03,960 me when it happened. So sweeping that last flight, and 283 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,119 on one of the steps, I over overshot it and 284 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:09,160 I just had a little bit of a wobble and 285 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,400 I had to grab the banister, and from above me, 286 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,119 I heard this little voice say, oh, be careful. And 287 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,279 once i'd write it myself, I looked up to tank 288 00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:20,119 whoever it was, but there was nobody there. And so 289 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,119 I turned looked into the doorway, thinking maybe Nadine had 290 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,880 made it back up and I just hadn't heard her. 291 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,799 Speaker 4: But no, she wasn't there either. 292 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 7: Now I did think at the time it was far 293 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,680 too clear, far too loud. There was no way, no 294 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,720 way that could have been something else. So I rang Bonnie, 295 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,920 who is one of the residents of the castle and 296 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,279 leads us volunteers. And I said, was that you? 297 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,319 Speaker 4: And she said to me? 298 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: Was what me? 299 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,079 Speaker 7: And I said to you upstairs? And she says, no, 300 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,039 I'm downtown getting the shopping. And I said what. She goes, 301 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,880 I'm downtown getting the shopping. Do you need something? And 302 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,240 I was like, no, She's what's happened? I know by 303 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,000 your voice something happened to her what had just happened? 304 00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:05,480 And she laughed and she said, ah, yeah, but we 305 00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:08,000 get that all the time. And she's what did what 306 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,160 did the voice say? And I said, told me to 307 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,880 be careful and she said that sounds like really good 308 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,599 advice to me. 309 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 4: And so it stuck with. 310 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 7: Me, this realization that not only are they watching us 311 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,400 maybe give tours and clean and love their castle and 312 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,440 their home, but they also care and they look out 313 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,480 for us, and they're watching over us on some level. 314 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,039 As I said, I definitely think it has influenced how 315 00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,160 they communicate. We have all had our names come out 316 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,119 on different devices over the years. I think they feel 317 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,839 they know us, like we are some part of the 318 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,680 extended family, and it does influence the activity that we 319 00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:50,920 get at the castle. It fuels in me this absolute 320 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:55,400 passion for not only the paranormal, but for Charleville and 321 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,039 its history. I love when we get something on the 322 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:02,640 spirit boxes, on the EVP, on any of the devices, 323 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,319 or even if it's someone who has a psychic sense 324 00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:09,200 and they come in and they tell me something or 325 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,319 a name. They get a name and a job title 326 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:15,319 or anything at all, something that I can go back 327 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,279 and trace with the archives, and to find that thing, 328 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,279 to find that interesting tidbit is absolutely amazing. I've had 329 00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,720 people tell me the name of the first Earl's dog, 330 00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,880 which is an impossible bit of history to find. But 331 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240 when I did and I realized that they were spot on, 332 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:39,599 that is an amazing, amazing moment. So I suppose I 333 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:42,079 will never give up the paranormal. It will always be 334 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,640 something I do, always be something that has an interest 335 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,400 for me, that grips me, that keeps me enthralled. 336 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: Sarah Campbell, Emma Taylor, student teacher, Ireland. 337 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 8: One night, my dad and I were exploring the ruins 338 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,839 of the Black Hag Abbey in Foynes County, Limerick. It 339 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,720 was around midnight at the time. The abbey stood silent 340 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,279 for our visit, and we soon were decided to leave. 341 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,680 Walking back along the path towards the brick wall entrance 342 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,279 and onto the road, we both suddenly heard heavy footsteps 343 00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:20,279 on the other side of the wall coming towards us, 344 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,960 causing both of us, without speaking to each other, to 345 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,000 back up out of the way, thinking someone was about 346 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,319 to turn into the entrance of the abbey. Nobody did. 347 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,279 I walked out onto the road, looking every which way, 348 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,160 but a quiet street by a silent abbey was all 349 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:41,480 that was there. So who or what was walking towards 350 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:42,559 us that night. 351 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 2: Rose me Fahi of Puka Paranormal. 352 00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:55,599 Speaker 9: I got into the paranormal because my father. My father 353 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,000 used to bring me up to the Hellfare Club in 354 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:00,920 Dublin and we go for walks up there and you 355 00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:03,960 tell me the stories of the bandshee and the stories 356 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,359 of the devil walking around, going through the roof and 357 00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:12,440 playing cards with people and showing himself to his hoofs 358 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,119 to the people playing cards. Very similar to a few 359 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,400 other locations in Ireland. But I just had a love 360 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,200 from a young age and hearing all the ferry and 361 00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:25,079 folk tales of stories and ghosts around around the country, 362 00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:27,839 so it got me into doing paranorma from a young 363 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,759 age with my dad. 364 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 4: I was of spending time with him. 365 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 9: He was very busy and I was an only girl, 366 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,039 so it was great to have time with my dad. 367 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,920 So I think trying to think of some of my 368 00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:41,480 favorite memories going forward of some of the locations I 369 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,319 went to over the years, and I think one has 370 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,400 to be Loftless Whole in the Hook. It's a beautiful location, 371 00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:53,920 absolutely beautiful, and I've gone many a time as a 372 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,200 young girl with my family. Didn't realize the full extent 373 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,799 of it till I was older and I went on 374 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,039 a tour and fell in love with it. I've had 375 00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,319 a draft only one day and I was going, God, 376 00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:06,480 I need to come back here. So I went back 377 00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:11,519 with the team. I did an investigation and I needed more. 378 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:14,400 I just wanted to know more about it. So then 379 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,200 again I returned to the scene and I was helping 380 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,200 out of assisting a team with an investigation for the public, 381 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,039 and we were up on the top floor. 382 00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,039 Speaker 4: I won the rooms with the big bay windows. 383 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,799 Speaker 9: There was a beautiful chaise lounge in the room, but 384 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,960 no one sitting on it because it was filthy. And 385 00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:33,000 we were sitting there and the girl I was with 386 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,759 was explaining a situation that happened to other people when 387 00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:38,480 they're up there, that they were looking out on the 388 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,400 corridor and could see a man walking down the corridor 389 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,200 in and out of the rooms. And as she said that, 390 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,960 I suddenly heard a voice laughing going ha ha. That 391 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,359 was me, and I remembers going ok and I look around. 392 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,440 I couldn't see anyone else looking at me as if 393 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,640 they'd been talking to me, so I just said nothing 394 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,079 up there. The girl who was doing the main lead 395 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,240 of the team was looking at me, going are you okay. 396 00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:06,799 Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. 397 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,279 Speaker 4: She goes, no, seriously, you okay? 398 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 9: Said yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

And I was going, oh god, there's nothing, 419 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,119 no one's saying it.

He wasn't wearing the 476 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,480 clothes that he had gone into hospital. He was wearing 477 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:22,079 something totally different. Actually, he was wearing a pair of 478 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,799 jeans and a sheepskin line jacket type thing.

It was just him walking away, 481 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,240 and I knew then that he'd gone. I went back 482 00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:42,160 to the hospital that it was an hour or two later. 483 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,599 They told me that there was no hope and they 484 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:48,480 were turning all the life support stuff off. And he 485 00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:54,839 managed to main or his body managed to maintain life 486 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,920 for twenty minutes before his heart stopped at five minutes 487 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:22,920 past twelve months satur the day morning, Sarah. 488 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,599 Speaker 2: Campbell Daniel Rogers of Cork Supernatural Society. 489 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 5: I've had my experience. I can't explain. They followed me 490 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,319 since I was a child, and well they shout who 491 00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:35,519 I am. I began in Mayfield when I was about three. 492 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:38,279 One name. My mother walked into my room and asked, 493 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,519 who are you talking to? I'm pointing behind her, looking 494 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:47,559 behind her, going behind her my mind. I remember her 495 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,119 screaming running to my father. Mind you. She left me there. 496 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,960 He was there looking to family photos. I saw her again, 497 00:30:55,519 --> 00:31:00,200 that same woman holding me is a newborn mother told me, oh, 498 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,400 she died three days after I was born. That was 499 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,599 my great grandmother. The woman I saw that night wasn't 500 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,640 in my imagination, she was real. In that same house, 501 00:31:12,759 --> 00:31:15,400 I had a habit of climbed onto the bedroom window 502 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,759 still my parents' bedroom windo, still two stories up. I 503 00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:21,400 remember I was sitting there and my nan, seeing my 504 00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:23,960 nan waving down. She was like a second mother to 505 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,279 me because any chance I could always go to my 506 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,319 nanny's house. I love it. And remember my Nan smiling back, 507 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,839 trying to keep me calm. But I know now she 508 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,319 wasn't trying to just you know, be nice. She was 509 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,240 trying to alert my mother, but keep me steady because 510 00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:43,559 I'm a fidgity adult. But I was a very, very 511 00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:47,119 fidgety child. And then I remember this always in my 512 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160 mind because I'd feel my mother's hand grabbing the back 513 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,319 of my head and dragging me inside. I was only 514 00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:56,200 three or four then, I said, too young to understand fair, 515 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,519 but my mother's fair. When we moved into the flat, 516 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:02,880 then after that, my father used to drill all the windows, 517 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,480 so apparently this was a very common thing. I used 518 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,720 to do was always make my way to the window. 519 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,240 He was afraid in the case, I climbed out again. 520 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Not long after I made my communion, I was eight. 521 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,680 My best friend was Michelle Alway used to laugh, play 522 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:22,319 hide and seek. Even we're matching crop tops in the summer, 523 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,039 all we thought we were unreal. Three days after our communion, 524 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,079 I remember my mother brought me to Michelle's house for 525 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,720 the first time. Now I've been to Michelle's house, but 526 00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:36,359 this is the first time my mother has ever been 527 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,400 to Michelle's house. And I remember thinking, oh, Michelle, we're 528 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640 best friends. I now our mom's are best friends. God, 529 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,759 I was so excited. I remember that day I burst 530 00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,559 in the door calling for her. We played hide and 531 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,599 seek like always, crammed on the stairs giggling. It was 532 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,599 the best hideout from there. I remember I was just 533 00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,640 sitting there. I could see into the kitchen where my 534 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,079 mom sat with Michelle's ma'am. And then I remember Michelle's 535 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,519 mother was crying. I remember our head in her hands, 536 00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:15,440 just like uncontrollably crying. I remember going Michelle and my 537 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:19,880 mom was very sad, and Michelle sent to me, it's okay, 538 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,640 come on, let's play. My mom may be okay. I 539 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,720 never thought much of it until eight years later, at sixteen, 540 00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,519 I was told the truth. You see, should had died 541 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,279 on our comedian day, and that visit wasn't the playdate. 542 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:36,960 My mother's paying her respects, but to me, I was 543 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,680 playing hide and seek with my best friend. At sixteen, 544 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:44,200 I also had my first really I guess independence. I 545 00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:46,279 got the house key because I had a half days 546 00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:49,319 on a certain day during the week from school. One afternoon, 547 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:52,519 I came home early, and I remember seeing the young 548 00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:56,039 girl in a dress moved slowly from the stairs into 549 00:33:56,039 --> 00:34:00,839 the spare room. I remember, I just froze. This girl 550 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,799 was inside the house. I'm home alone. When the fair 551 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,960 finally hit me out, I bolted out the back door, 552 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,480 and I didn't tell anyone for years later. I found 553 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,519 out my foot I'd seen the same girl too, during 554 00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:17,320 one of his episodes of sleep paralysis. She screamed in 555 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,079 his face with a tall shadow man loomed behind him. 556 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:29,840 Or sorry, oh sorry, this dark shadow figure loomed behind 557 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,519 her with a cowboy hat. Well, I'll call the cowboy hat. 558 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,960 That's how he described it. Anyway, The thing is, my 559 00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:40,880 sister saw her too as well. When she was young. 560 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:46,320 She was hanging in her hanging in her bedroom in 561 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,000 her comedian dress in the corner of our bedroom. And nineteen, 562 00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:54,199 when I moved into our house share my seven two guys, 563 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,159 that's when escalated. One day, my radio started hissing with static, 564 00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,519 no batteries not plugged in. I checked, and then when 565 00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,840 I looked up at the doorway, I saw him. That 566 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,719 shadow man, solid tall, wearing a hat. He walked straight 567 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,679 into My housemates locked the bedroom because he was at work. First, 568 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:17,840 I do it myself. I kept moving things around like 569 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,360 nothing happened, trying to come figure out what the hell 570 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,239 did I see. But then that's when they hear the 571 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,000 fair hit me like a freight train. I flew down 572 00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,639 the stairs with my sister and a friend were visiting. 573 00:35:32,199 --> 00:35:34,039 I made up by an excuse ask them to go 574 00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:36,519 fit a bottle of coke from my room, just to 575 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:40,360 see if they'd see it too. They didn't. On the 576 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,360 a minute I thought I saw a ghost my such 577 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,280 a screamed, can't memory the static, the shadow of the fair, 578 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,280 especially in my sister's face. I'll never forget it. Over 579 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,280 the years, I've seen full operations, felt physical touches, her voices. 580 00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:57,440 My mother never wants to talk about it. But before 581 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,880 she passed them twenty twenty, she left me a letter. 582 00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:04,079 She's on palitive kus and that was for the first 583 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:07,440 time she acknowledged my experiences. She promised that one day, 584 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,800 when I was ready, she would send me a sign. 585 00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:12,400 But any time I felt that she was near me, 586 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,719 I'll tell her I wasn't ready. But the moment I'm 587 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,000 most grateful for her I was in twenty seventeen. I'd 588 00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:24,639 been in pain for months, from October to February. February, 589 00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:27,480 I finally went to the doctor and he said, oh, Siatica, 590 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,199 the game pain killer has sent me on my way. 591 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,800 But one day I dreamt of my grand my grandmother, 592 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,000 you know, the one who helped raise me, who Dave 593 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,239 when I was fifteen. Oh, she was angry. She told 594 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,840 me to go to the hospital, told me if I didn't, 595 00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:46,280 she'd haunt me. And she promised and swore down she 596 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,159 will haunt me every timing until I did. I couldn't 597 00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:51,039 scape that dream. A few days later, I went to 598 00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:53,639 Ay they film stage four her to come to forma 599 00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:58,559 twenty six cancers tumors, I was told and if I 600 00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:02,079 hadn't gone when I did, well, to be honest, they 601 00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:05,519 said they're going to see me surviving any longer than 602 00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:09,679 six weeks. My Grandma's warning, I believe saved my life. 603 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,639 So yes, I believe I lived it. These experiences are 604 00:37:13,679 --> 00:37:16,400 part of me. Would you believe or not, it doesn't 605 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,159 matter because this is my life, my truth, and I'll 606 00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:23,119 never stop searching for answers for me. For you, Thank you. 607 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 2: Annette Rose, retired, formerly of Birmingham, England, now resident on 608 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,719 the West Coast of Ireland for many years. 609 00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:36,199 Speaker 11: What do I believe and have I seen supernatural things? 610 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 5: It's like this. 611 00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 11: I believe that the old folklore and all the old 612 00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:45,199 wives tales are linked. But basically the old beliefs are 613 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:49,800 the same as what people call the supernatural. There are 614 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,440 reasons for everything, and the more you look into them, 615 00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:56,079 you will find that a lot of things are linked 616 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:02,159 or originate from the same Where we live. People always 617 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,159 told us that the place is haunted, but it's more 618 00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:10,000 than that. It's as if the place has some kind 619 00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:17,800 of energy. For instance, take the old Irish folklore a warning. 620 00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:22,039 I suppose you call it about touching a fairy tree. 621 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:28,199 Bad luck will befall you if you do. Where we live, 622 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,840 there are some individual white thorn trees or hawthorn trees 623 00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:36,880 as are sometimes called, standing on their own in the 624 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,320 middle of a field. A tree like this is supposed 625 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,559 to have some kind of special power or some kind 626 00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:49,679 of special energy related to it, and the old Irish 627 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,679 tradition is that you never ever touch a fairy tree 628 00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:57,519 unless you have asked and been given its permission. How 629 00:38:57,559 --> 00:39:00,800 an individual tree managed to survive in the middle of 630 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,920 the field is a miracle in itself, because that field 631 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,719 will be grazed by animals and usually they eat the 632 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,440 young trees as they are growing as well. I suppose 633 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,599 that this is why they said that a lone white 634 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:20,760 thaw tree in the middle of the field is that 635 00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:26,559 very special tree. But anyway, this particular tree I refer 636 00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:30,199 to was cut down one year by a man who 637 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,280 was preparing the soil for planting in a nearby field. 638 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,119 The tree cut down, leaving a sizeable stump behind. He 639 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,679 then was used the tree to scuffle the soil as 640 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,039 he dragged it behind his tractor. I watched this, and 641 00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:51,519 he actually did a very good job. But the old 642 00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:55,960 saying about never touching a fairy tree is that if 643 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,760 you harm a fairy tree, then bad things will happen 644 00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:04,199 to the person who did this. I can tell you 645 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,119 that man was seriously ill afterwards with the big sea. 646 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,719 The tree stumps survived, grew again, and so did he. 647 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,679 The tree is still there and so is he. We 648 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,000 always think it's a good thing he never killed the 649 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:27,079 tree when he chopped it down. Other supernatural events around 650 00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,880 our house are that the dog's toys and balls kept 651 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,719 disappearing from outside the house. We would find them way 652 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,559 off in a field hundreds of meters away where the 653 00:40:39,679 --> 00:40:44,199 dogs had no access. Now, some of you will say, well, 654 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,920 those toys and balls were probably carried off by wild animals. Okay, 655 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,639 but how do you explain finding a crab apple in 656 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,400 the same field. I think it was in March, and 657 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,760 the nearest crab apple tree is almost seven miles away, 658 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,280 and this field is completely off the road where no 659 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,920 people have access to it. And also remembering you do 660 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,000 not get a crab apple in springtime. They arrive in 661 00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:18,679 the autumn. Then there are the noises that we hear. 662 00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:22,760 We can be sitting in the house and you can 663 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,719 hear a bang like a gunshot just outside the front door. 664 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,920 We can hear vehicles pulling up just outside of our 665 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,440 house as well, which is one hundred yards from the 666 00:41:34,519 --> 00:41:39,000 road and protected by a closed gate. But when you 667 00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:42,480 go outside there is nothing. It is silent, with just 668 00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:45,840 the birds singing, and there is no traffic on the 669 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,400 roads at all. This just doesn't happen once. It has 670 00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:54,800 happened many times, together with music. When there is no 671 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,960 music being played in the house or from neighbors which 672 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,840 are at least for one hundred meters away. Cigarette smoke 673 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,960 is quite common, which we smell often some nights and 674 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,360 some days, but then there is nobody to be seen, 675 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,119 and like we said, the road is one hundred meters 676 00:42:15,159 --> 00:42:19,400 away from the house with nobody around. If you go 677 00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:22,480 walking in the fields at night, there is always that 678 00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:26,199 feeling that makes the hairs on your neck stand up, 679 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,039 as if you are not alone and you are being watched. 680 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,239 It is a creepy feeling in one respect. Added to 681 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,360 sometimes there are strange noises in the darkness which could 682 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,199 be an animal, except there aren't animal noises, well, at 683 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,079 least any animals that we know. It is a very 684 00:42:48,119 --> 00:42:52,159 remote area in one respect, and as humans are encroaching 685 00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:56,760 on the area, these eerie occurrencies appear to get less 686 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,960 and less. Are any of these caused by a girl 687 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,559 or what we say are ghosts the undead? I don't know. 688 00:43:05,199 --> 00:43:08,320 There are probably just as many things I can't remember 689 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,760 as what I have listed here. But a fact is 690 00:43:12,159 --> 00:43:16,800 energy never goes away. When somebody or something dies, the 691 00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:20,639 energy from their body is absorbed into the ground. If 692 00:43:20,679 --> 00:43:24,760 they are buried, the body is then consumed by insects 693 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,159 and plants such as trees. In the old days, the 694 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,280 month of May was always known as the rebirth. This 695 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,760 is when plants and seeds from previous year came back 696 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,920 into life, so the energy from the dead body buried 697 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,800 in the ground was born again. Maybe if the energy 698 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,800 from a dead body hasn't been consumed by nature, it 699 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:54,239 is then lost and is forever wondering the earth. Who knows, 700 00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:58,039 But I do know where we live. As I have 701 00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:02,480 said already, we always get the feeling or we notice 702 00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:06,400 something where we are not alone and there is somebody 703 00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:12,239 or something present and even watching us. Maybe one day 704 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,440 we will find the reasons for this. But if you 705 00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:19,960 go back to ancient beliefs and folklore, they used to 706 00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:24,400 plant trees by houses and graveyards to keep evil away. 707 00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:29,199 A rowan tree, sometimes known as a mountain ash, was 708 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,440 planted by a house or graveyard to ward off evil. 709 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,599 You have to ask why did they do this and 710 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,679 why did they believe such a thing. It wasn't just 711 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,719 a few superstitious people after a good night drinking who 712 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,239 came up with this. It is a widespread belief which 713 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,679 has been practiced for thousands of years and in different countries. 714 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,920 What are those people warding off by plants in trees? So, 715 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:07,920 like I said earlier, I believe that the supernatural and folklore, 716 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,760 or even superstitions are all linked. 717 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 2: Jenny Sullivan, Emerald Isle paranormal. 718 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 12: When I was younger, I knew I was different. I'd 719 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,719 come from a family of eleven. I knew things I 720 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,480 could not have known at that age, seen in her, 721 00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:32,000 things that I could never have explained, but never really 722 00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:35,599 said it to anyone because they would not believe me 723 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,000 or understand. Here are two of my experiences. I was 724 00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:43,400 walking home from my friend's house one night. When walking 725 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,519 up my front garden, I met my brother's friend. 726 00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 4: The sky was a beautiful, clear. 727 00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:52,119 Speaker 12: November night, just stars, but something made me point into 728 00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:55,880 the sky and say what that. My brother's friend started 729 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,719 singing and dancing, saying it was the Banshees. It was 730 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,280 the Banshees, and I asked him to stop. I told 731 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,039 my sister and she closed the curtains, rang a few 732 00:46:03,039 --> 00:46:04,719 people to come up to the house to see what 733 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,920 was going on. When we went outside to look, there 734 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,440 was three long, comment like shaped figures in the sky 735 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,039 above an unused factory across from my home, floating left 736 00:46:16,079 --> 00:46:18,639 to right. If on the ground, I would guess about 737 00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:22,039 fifty to sixty foot long, smoky gray in color. 738 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 4: My mum was picked up from work. 739 00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 12: We had friends there that had just lost family members 740 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,719 that night and previous week. My younger siblings were watching TV. 741 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,199 They had no interest in it. 742 00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:34,639 Speaker 4: I of course did. 743 00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:38,559 Speaker 12: I was outside watching these three gray figures floating left 744 00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:40,400 to right, two on one side and one on the 745 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,239 other side. When they floated up into the sky, they'd disappear, 746 00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:47,159 but there was no clouds in the sky for them 747 00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:50,400 to disappear into. They just did, and then they would 748 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,840 come back down and opposite sides, two on one side 749 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,320 and one on the other side. Then with a blink 750 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,280 of an eye. One shot right down in between the hedges, 751 00:46:58,679 --> 00:47:01,159 flew through the hedges and shot right back up. If 752 00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:04,079 you blinked, you would have missed it. We all stood there. 753 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 4: And we screamed. We screamed. 754 00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:09,599 Speaker 12: Adults were pulling me behind them so they could get 755 00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:10,480 into the house first. 756 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 4: There was a lot of commotion on. 757 00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:16,159 Speaker 12: We were trying to figure out what they were. Some 758 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,920 were saying spotlights from Dublin, but were too far away 759 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,599 from Dublin and they were too low in the sky 760 00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:26,159 for them to be spotlights. They were huge, smoky gray 761 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,519 comment like, as I say this, the picture is in 762 00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:32,159 my head right now. We never knew what they were. 763 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,199 To this day, we still don't know what they were 764 00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:37,039 or what they are, but it's something that has never 765 00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:41,440 ever ever left me. My second experience would be in 766 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,280 Shane's Castle up in County Antrim many years ago on 767 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,480 an investigation in Shane's Castle. The castle is a ruin, 768 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,480 so all of our investigations were conducted in the tunnels. 769 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,880 It was an amazing investigation. We had done a reenactment 770 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,760 earlier on at the night which was extremely active aggressive. 771 00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:02,639 If I could say, at the end of the night, 772 00:48:03,159 --> 00:48:05,079 I let a team back down to the tunnels where 773 00:48:05,079 --> 00:48:07,480 we had done the reenactment earlier on in the night. 774 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,280 As soon as we walked in, the smell of sulfur 775 00:48:10,519 --> 00:48:14,880 hit me. It burnt my throat, my nostrils, it irritated 776 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,920 the back of my throat. But as we continued in 777 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,519 against advice not to, saying, they know we are here, 778 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,800 so I said, so then we continue. If they know 779 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,840 we're here, and we know they are here, let's continue. 780 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,559 This is what we do. But because we had public 781 00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:35,559 with us, I decided to retreat, saying I don't know 782 00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:39,119 why we're leaving when they know we are here, vice versa. 783 00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:43,800 Within approximately fifteen seconds later, it was if something came 784 00:48:44,119 --> 00:48:46,960 right up to me, rushed through me, or stood right 785 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,199 in front of me. My eyes closed, my head went back, 786 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,199 something that you would see in the Matrix movie. 787 00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 4: My hearing went. 788 00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:58,519 Speaker 12: It was as if something was pushing me or going 789 00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:02,119 through me as a warning to say, do not mess 790 00:49:02,159 --> 00:49:05,519 with us. And I know these tunnels for many years. 791 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,840 We left because we had public with us, and I 792 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,239 never ever wanted to smell that sulfur smell again ever. 793 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,440 But ten or more years later it happened again in 794 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,280 the Bloody Chapel of lebt Castle. I had a guest 795 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,159 with me and I asked him what do you think 796 00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:26,480 of leb Castle so far? And the person said, it's nice, 797 00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:29,159 It's okay, it's good, and I said, yes, the chapel 798 00:49:29,199 --> 00:49:32,440 can be a little quiet sometimes, with me saying that, 799 00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:36,039 as anyone who knows the bloody chapel knows, there are 800 00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:41,400 no windows. Within seconds later, the smell of sulfur came 801 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,559 again that only I could smell it. 802 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 4: I thought my jacket was on fire, and. 803 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 12: I knew immediately I could taste it, I could smell it, 804 00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:54,920 and immediately I thought to myself, oh my god, it's 805 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:55,679 happening again. 806 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,119 Speaker 4: It frightened me. I will not lie. 807 00:49:59,159 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 12: It frightened me so so much to know that I 808 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,960 never wanted to smell it again, but yet I did. 809 00:50:05,199 --> 00:50:07,800 I had asked everybody, could you smell sulfur? No one 810 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,599 could smell it but me, and then they began to 811 00:50:10,639 --> 00:50:14,559 smell it, and we left the bloody chapel. I sat 812 00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:18,159 downstairs and the rest of the group went back upstairs. 813 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,360 I had asked them to see if I had permission 814 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,239 to go back up again, and the answer was no, 815 00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:26,280 so I did not go back upstairs again. I have 816 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,199 been since, but I think that was a warning to me. 817 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,079 When I said it can be a little quiet up 818 00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:36,159 in the Bloody Chapel, it was a warning to say, nope, 819 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,400 we are here. And there are just two of my 820 00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:46,559 experiences within many years of my paranormal experiences. 821 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 2: We hope you enjoyed the Scary Era Female Special.
