Why Some People In China Choose To Marry Ghosts In rural Chinese provinces such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, it is quite common for two departed souls to marry, or for a living person to marry a ghost. But why is that the case? Why would someone want to organize or take part in a posthumous...

As some of you may know, I've been working on a big ghost survey since 2000, trying to ascertain just how haunted the UK is. My results are at www.paullee.com/ghosts/survey.php Coupled with this is another smaller survey on which I determined how much venues charge for access. So if you're...

Came across the following - maybe of interest? Charles Fort (1874-1932) the famed collector of anomalies was the centre of one himself…. By Alan Murdie "So might begin many personal accounts of poltergeist activity. But this one was different. The words are those of Charles Fort himself...

Spinning off from the London Underground thread, where we have been discussing books...I wonder if anyone can recommend a couple of books about ghosts/haunting in London that I can buy? I have in mind: One which has some easily digestible "anecdotes"/interesting stories. And one which is more...

A random musing. On one of the other threads I noticed someone speculating whether some ghost or spirit in a particular instance might be appearing on the anniversary of her death or other significant date. The idea is certainly a well established one. "It was 30 years ago tonight!" But what...

It appears the main ghost is some kind of camera issue and the second one is just shapes in the shadows. I've attached the picture but it is a photo saved as a gif so there is a lot of artefacting but you can clearly see the main 'ghost' (to crunch the size down I have sved it as a .jpg - it...

I am 60 this year, and I have been amazed just how many rational people have admitted they have either seen or felt a ghost. I got to talk intimately with men and women when I was a nurse and carer, so perhaps they felt they could confide in someone who would give them a sympathetic ear. I...

The Treasurer's House Ghosts. I really want to believe a Roman legion walks through a York cellar.

Josh Covington In late November of 1999, my wife and I were on holiday in the United Kingdom. She had always dreamed of going to Scotland and I had always wanted to see the Salisbury Cathedral and Hadrian's Wall. Oddly, the only day it rained was the day we stopped at Hadrian's Wall in...

I just started wondering when the earliest mention of a ghost appears in literature. I distinctly remember translating and ancient Roman ghost story - Plinys Haunted House Once upon a time there was a remarkable house in Athens. It was large and stately, but had a reputation for being...

Anybody here a fan of the Carry On series? Are they considered fun and witty or just one step above Benny Hill or what? I've only seen two, Carry On Screaming and Carry On Up The Jungle, but I thought both were pretty fun. But I know some things that are funny are pretty universally liked...
