Several times in my living room some time ago, I experienced something strange. I would be sitting there relaxing and would suddenly become aware of a light, shivering in front of me. The nearest description I can give is that it was like seeing a light beneath a door, but shivering in mid air. I wa…

I currently reside in my family home with my husband and 3 sons.
I have fond memories of our home as a little child. There are also many memories which I wish I could tuck away in a little box and store it at the back of my brain never to be found again. We moved into this home in 1988. I was on…

Just to keep it simple, I will narrate the story in chronology.

This tale occurred just before the old nun experience, so I must’ve been around 7 (1975). My late mum used to run our school’s canteen.

A mother and her teenage daughter’s road trip through the Scottish Highlands takes a deadly turn when they encounter a swarm of mutant midges.
Midgies is co-created by Fort William-based author Barry Hutchison (of the JD Kirk series). He is bringing his latest idea to the big screen with Midgies, a darkly comedic horror about a swarm of mutant, flesh-eating midges terrorising the Scottish Highlands. What began as a light-hearted social media post has evolved into a fully-fledged film project.
Originally conceived as a joke, the concept quickly gained momentum, attracting attention from filmmakers and media outlets. “It felt like the idea took on a life of its own,” says Hutchison, who teamed up with Glasgow-based director Alessio Avezzano, known for his work with major brands like Irn Bru and Porsche, as well as his BBC sitcom Isleanders.
This 3-minute trailer was shot over two days in and around Glasgow and Loch Lomond and produced on a micro-budget, with the help of a talented crew and local studios, including Motif (Mad Max Fury Road) and Blazing Griffin (Anna and the Apocalypse), who’ve come on board to support the project. The film blends Scotland’s quick-witted humour with classic monster horror tropes for a universally entertaining experience. Check out the trailer below.
The film is gearing up for full production next year with Glasgow based director Alessio Avezzano and the team actively seeking investment to bring the full version of the film to life.
“We were blown away by the talent and dedication from everyone involved,” Hutchison says. “Now, we’re pushing to begin full production as early as next summer.”
Just from watching the trailer, the film looks like it will be an epic comedy horror.

The post Midgies: A Darkly Comedic Horror Set in Scotland appeared first on Paranormal Globe.

Ghosts. The mere mention of these spectral beings can send a shiver down the spine or spark a lively debate among enthusiasts of the paranormal. In the United Kingdom, tales of ghostly encounters are as old as the hills, or more accurately, as old as the historical periods that seem to dominate these eerie narratives.
Step into the misty realms of ancient Britain, and you might encounter a legionnaire’s ghost patrolling a lonely stretch of Hadrian’s Wall. The Roman occupation, which spanned from AD 43 to around AD 410, left an indelible mark on the landscape and in the lore of the British Isles. Stories abound of spectral soldiers marching through the night, their ghostly forms a reminder of a bygone era when Britannia was a distant outpost of the Roman Empire.
Historians and ghost hunters alike have pondered why Roman ghosts seem to linger more prominently in British ghostlore compared to other ancient civilizations. Perhaps it’s the tangible remains of Roman forts and villas scattered across the countryside, their ancient stones whispering tales of conquest and intrigue. Or maybe it’s the enduring fascination with Roman discipline and military prowess that keeps their spirits tethered to this earthly realm.
Take, for instance, the haunting tale of the Roman soldiers at York. The well-known story goes that a workman witnessed a group of Roman legionaries marching through the cellars of the Treasurer’s House, their legs disappearing into the floor due to changes in ground level over the centuries.
Fast forward to the Tudor and Stuart periods, and you’ll find a tapestry of ghostly apparitions woven into the fabric of British history. From the ghostly figure of Anne Boleyn, whose tragic fate at the hands of Henry VIII continues to haunt the Tower of London, to the spectral presence of Charles I, whose execution during the English Civil War left an indelible mark on the nation’s psyche, these periods are rich with stories of royal intrigue, political upheaval, and religious persecution.
The Tudor era, with its dramatic dynastic struggles and religious turmoil, provides fertile ground for ghost stories. It was a time when loyalty could mean life or death, and betrayal could echo through the ages in the form of restless spirits seeking justice or peace.
One can’t help but wonder, what would it be like to encounter the ghost of Catherine Howard, Henry VIII’s fifth wife, reportedly seen running through Hampton Court Palace, screaming for mercy?
Enter the Victorian era, a period of scientific advancement, industrial revolution, and, paradoxically, a renewed interest in the supernatural. The Victorians, with their insatiable curiosity and penchant for exploration, turned their attention to the realms beyond the physical world. Spiritualism, séances, and mediums captured the public imagination, offering glimpses into a realm where the living could communicate with the dead.
Haunted mansions, eerie graveyards, and misty moors provided atmospheric settings for Victorian ghost stories. Authors like Charles Dickens and M.R. James spun chilling tales of spectral visitations and otherworldly encounters, tapping into the Victorian fascination with the afterlife and the unknown.
The prevalence of ghost stories from specific historical periods in the UK also raises questions about the influence of education and cultural narratives. In British schools, history curricula often highlight periods like the Roman, Tudor, Stuart, and Victorian eras. These educational focuses not only provide a backdrop for understanding the past but also shape how historical figures and events are remembered and mythologized in popular culture, including ghost stories.
The stories we tell about ghosts are not just tales of spooky encounters; they’re reflections of our cultural heritage, our fears and fascinations, and our quest for meaning in the mysteries that surround us.
One intriguing question that often arises in discussions about ghosts is why sightings or stories of ancient beings like cavemen or dinosaurs are notably absent. While this may simply reflect a lack of cultural narratives or historical documentation from such ancient times, it also raises intriguing possibilities about the nature of ghosts and their alleged manifestations.
Unlike the Romans, Tudors, Stuarts, and Victorians, who occupy prominent places in our historical consciousness, cavemen and dinosaurs are more specialized subjects of study. They are not typically at the forefront of our knowledge of history, taught in schools, or depicted in popular literature and media in the same way. As a result, the absence of ghostly tales from these ancient times may reflect their relative obscurity in our cultural imagination.
Ghosts, as they are commonly understood, seem to manifest in ways that align with our understanding of history and cultural narratives. The ghosts of Romans marching through ancient forts, Tudor monarchs haunting medieval castles, or Victorian spirits lingering in grand estates resonate more strongly because these periods are ingrained in our cultural memory and educational curriculum.
This phenomenon highlights how our perceptions of the supernatural are shaped by what we know and how we interpret history. As we explore the mysteries of ghostly phenomena across different eras, we are also exploring the depths of our own cultural consciousness and the enduring fascination with the unknown.
In recent years, the pursuit of ghostly encounters has taken on a decidedly modern twist. Ghost hunting teams armed with EMF meters, infrared cameras, and EVP recorders scour supposedly haunted locations in search of evidence of the paranormal. TV shows like “Most Haunted” and “Ghost Adventures” have popularised these techniques, bringing ghost hunting into the mainstream.
But does all this technology actually bring us closer to understanding the nature of ghosts? Or are we simply finding new ways to interpret the unexplained? It’s a question that continues to divide opinion among paranormal enthusiasts and sceptics alike.
While British ghost stories have their own unique flavour, it’s worth noting that ghostly tales are a universal phenomenon. From the vengeful yurei of Japan to the mischievous duendes of Latin America, cultures around the world have their own rich traditions of spectral encounters.
What sets British ghost stories apart, perhaps, is their deep intertwining with the nation’s history. The ghosts of Britain seem to serve as a kind of supernatural history lesson, keeping the past alive in the public imagination.
Consider, for instance, the difference between a British haunted castle and an American haunted house. While both might be scary, the castle ghost often comes with centuries of historical baggage, embodying not just personal tragedy but national events and societal changes.
In exploring the enigma of ghosts across Britain’s eras, we delve not only into the shadows of history but also into the depths of our own imaginations and beliefs. As we navigate the labyrinthine corridors of history, we encounter echoes of the past that refuse to be silenced. Whether it’s the clank of Roman armour echoing across a mist-shrouded field, the whispered prayers of a condemned Tudor noble echoing through the halls of a haunted manor, or the flickering candlelight of a Victorian séance illuminating the faces of the departed, these stories remind us that the past is never truly gone.
The enduring legacy of these ghostly tales in contemporary British culture reflects our ongoing fascination with the supernatural and our desire to connect with the mysteries of the past. As we continue to tell and retell these spectral stories, we keep alive not just the ghosts themselves, but the history they represent.
So, the next time you find yourself in an ancient British ruin or a grand old manor house, take a moment to listen. In the whisper of the wind or the creak of an old floorboard, you might just hear the echoes of history and perhaps, if you’re lucky (or unlucky), encounter a ghost or two along the way.
What do you think? Are ghosts real, or are they simply the product of our collective imagination? And if they are real, why do you think certain historical periods seem to produce more ghostly activity than others? The debate continues, and the mystery endures, just like the ghosts themselves.

If there’s one thing that gives every one of us the chills, it’s ghost photos. While some write these off as tricks of light or the product of double exposure, others believe these images offer glimpses of the supernatural.
So as Halloween is almost upon us once again, I though I would share fifteen of the most famous ghost photographs ever taken. Some you might have seen before, some you might have not.
We start with a true classic. Captured by Country Life photographers at Raynham Hall, England, this image features the translucent figure of a woman descending the staircase. Known as the “Brown Lady,” she’s believed to be Lady Dorothy Walpole, whose tragic life and untimely death sparked local legend. Even the most sceptical photographers have struggled to debunk this haunting apparition.
This eerie photo shows a group of World War I airmen, but if you look closely you will spot an extra face in the back row. The faint figure of Freddy Jackson, a mechanic who had died two days before this photo was taken. It seems he had shown up for one last group shot with his comrades. Even his fellow airmen believed Freddy made one final appearance from beyond the grave.
In the Queen’s House at Greenwich, England, Rev. Ralph Hardy captured a ghostly figure clutching the railing of the Tulip Staircase. No-one else was there when he took the picture and despite countless investigations this eerie figure has never been explained. The Queen’s House is known for its ghostly activity, making it a favourite spot for paranormal hunters.
While Lord Combermere’s funeral took place miles away, a photographer snapped a picture of his empty library. Or was it empty? The image reveals a ghostly figure seated in a chair that strongly resembled Lord Combermere himself. Was he saying farewell from beyond the grave?
Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery in Illinois is notorious for ghost sightings and in 1991 a group of paranormal investigators captured a photograph of a woman in white, seated on a tombstone. Known as “The Madonna of Bachelor’s Grove,” this apparition has captivated paranormal enthusiasts worldwide. Who was she, still remains a mystery to this day.
Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky is one of the most haunted locations in the U.S., and in 2006 investigators captured what seems to be a young boy peeking around a corner. Named “Timmy” by locals, the ghostly child is said to haunt the old sanatorium’s halls, making his presence known to everyone who enters.
In Newby Church, North Yorkshire, a photograph taken by Rev. K.F. Lord appears to show a dark hooded figure standing near the altar. Known as the “Newby Monk,” this apparition has puzzled sceptics and believers alike. The church’s 600-year history only deepens the mystery surrounding this ghostly visitor.
St. Mary’s Guildhall in Coventry, England, holds many secrets. In 1985 an annual dinner was held by the City of Coventry Freemen’s Guild attended by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. As was customary, prayers were said before the meal and a photographer captured the moment. But when the picture was developed it had captured the chilling image of a robed figure standing at the end of a table, near the famous Coventry Tapestry. Some say it’s an echo of a long-lost spirit who hasn’t left St. Mary’s Guildhall.
During a quiet afternoon in Worstead Church, Norfolk, Diane Berthelot’s husband took a photo of her seated in a pew. Later they noticed a faint figure of a woman in white seated just behind Diane. Locals say this spirit is the “White Lady,” a healer who lived centuries ago.
While giving a speech in Los Angeles, author Robert A. Ferguson was photographed with what appears to be the faint image of his deceased brother standing beside him. Ferguson himself was a sceptic but even he had trouble explaining his spectral companion that day.
At Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona, a visitor captured a photo showing what looks like a cowboy standing near the graves. The figure wasn’t seen at the time and no one else was there. The apparition has a haunting Old West vibe, fitting for a town steeped in legendary shootouts and outlaw tales.
When Denise Russell took a photo of her grandmother she didn’t realise that her deceased grandfather would show up in the background looking right at the camera. Her grandmother was unaware of his presence making this one of the most touching ghost apparitions captured on camera
A photo from Sefton Church in Liverpool appears to capture a ghostly figure in period clothing. With a history stretching back to the 1100’s this medieval church has seen its share of death and despair making it the perfect haunting ground for spirits from all era’s
During the infamous Amityville house investigation a photo was taken of a young boy with glowing eyes peeking out from behind a door. No children were present in the house leading investigators to believe it was the spirit of the young boy killed in the original murders that cursed the house.
While at sea crew members aboard the SS Watertown claimed they could see the faces of two deceased sailors in the water. A photograph was taken and sure enough two ghostly faces appear to float in the waves. This haunting sea spectre has left sceptics stumped for decades.
So there you have it. Fifteen of the most famous ghost photographs.
Most of these photos have endured countless attempts to be debunked, while others have become legendary. Whether you believe these are all real or not, all these photo’s have had people talking and discussing about them for years and likely for more years to come and they keep us that little bit spooked, especially this time of year.
