... epidemics in the early years ended up, and a hospital and prison where torture and executions took place during the Spanish Civil War. (3/3)

Elevators going up and down silently, screams, strange noises... From a Visigoth ghost named Ataulfo to the spirit of Picasso himself. It was the place where people without resources in Madrid went to die in the 16th century, a mass grave where the bodies left behind by the great... (2/3)

Before becoming the Reina Sofía National Museum of Contemporary Art in 1990, this building and its location were steeped in legends and gruesome stories. The museum shows all the signs of a haunted building. (1/3) #PhantomsFriday #FolkyFriday #folklore #horror #ghosts #ParanormalSky #HorrorWriter

Conisbrough Castle, although seemingly quiet these days, has had many spectral encounters. They were also one of the few English Heritage sites to provide a very long list of phenomena! #phantomsfriday #ghosts #hauntings

In 1909 The Strand Magazine ran an article, 'Crime And The Crystal', seriously stated that apparitions conjured up in crystal balls could solve crimes. This vision allegedly proved that the death of a Miss Mooney was not suicide but that she had been deliberately thrown off a train. #PhantomsFriday

A new website: the Poltergeist Archive poltergeistarchive.co.uk #phantomsfriday

In #Truro #Cornwall is the wonderfully named SqueezeGuts Alley! It's believed to be haunted by the #ghost of Stephen H. Treffry, who died on Friday 20th December 1787 at 27 from burns & the impact of a fall from the first floor window of his home in SG Alley. #PhantomsFriday #hauntings

If you are near water around #Japan's Obon festival (usually in August) & see mist on the water don't wait for it to get closer! It might be a "funayūrei" or ghost ship, full of resentful drowned sailors and ready for you to join them. #PhantomsFriday #ghosts #hauntings #paranormal 🖼️ M. Mayer

Who is spooked by whom? The lady, the ghost, the man — or the reflection in the mirror? Originally titled 'In the Room: A Problem Picture'. The artist stated that he just let the painting develop as the fancy took him. #PhantomsFriday A gory detail in the Alt-text.

East Suffolk is host to many Shucks, phantom hounds who bring a warning of immediate death to those who behold them.One is said to haunt two bridges over a stream in Mill Road, in the little village of Wisset, waiting for those who try to cross the water 🐾 #PhantomsFriday

I don't doubt that people have experienced odd things at the Schooner but there is serious doubt about the historical provenance of the identity of some of the ghosts! apireloaded.wordpress.com/2023/01/12/t... #phantomsfriday #ghosts #hauntings #halloween #halloween2025 #31daysofhalloween

"A Leap in the Dark" was a 1970s BBC dramatisation of ghost stories. Some of the early episodes no longer exist but a few have been put on YouTube. This is one of them - The Ghost of Ardachie Lodge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfH8... #phantomsfriday #halloween #ghosts

The presbytery at Ely Cathedral, #Cambridgeshire, had a poltergeist but it was banished by the withered hand of an Anglo-Saxon saint. Four of my brother ghost monks haunt the cathedral: two outside (in daylight) and two inside. People have sat beside one of them unaware he's a ghost. #PhantomsFriday

Imagine coming out of your hotel and seeing this, Nottingham's National Justice Museum. And of course it's haunted; www.paullee.com/ghosts/ghost... #phantomsfriday #ghosts #halloween

The story is that a Canadian RAF man, Geoff Munroe fell to his death. Where the name comes from is a mystery as he never existed. Then I found this in "The Yorkshire Post and Leeds Mercury" (4/9/44) in May last year. It was easy to find so why do ghost groups repeat the same old story?

House of the Seven Chimneys, Madrid There are several versions of what happened in this house. What they all agree on is that the ghost of a woman dressed in white wanders through the rooms (1/2) #PhantomsFriday #FolkyFriday #folklore #horror #ghosts #ParanormalSky #HorrorWriter

Haunted Headlines: the most haunted UK Royal resistance www.express.co.uk/news/royal/2...

Witch balls are hollow, reflective glass spheres that were hung in the windows of English homes in the 17th and 18th centuries as protection from witches. Folk believed witches couldn't bear seeing their own reflections, so they'd avoid houses with witch balls. #LegendaryWednesday

Witch stones—also called hag stones, fairy stones, and other names—are stones with naturally occurring holes, believed to be protective talismans against witches and other dark forces. They can be worn around your neck, hung above doors, tied to bedposts, or attached to ships. #LegendaryWednesday

In Hinduism, ear piercing is a spiritually significant rite of passage, as it opens pathways to enlightenment and repels negative energies. Piercing also invokes the blessings of Saraswati, goddess of art, music, knowledge, and wisdom, as the ear opens to divine teachings. #MythologyMonday

The term "jack-o'-lantern" may be derived from the Irish legends of Stingy Jack, a conniving drunk who cheats death time and again. When he eventually dies, neither Heaven nor Hell can take him, so he wanders between worlds, using a hollow turnip as a lantern. #FairyTaleTuesday

Der Golem (1915) is a German silent horror film inspired by a Jewish folktale of a rabbi creating a golem: a mute, sentient humanoid being sculpted from clay, who later goes on a murder spree. Some consider it the first monster movie. #WyrdWednesday youtu.be/2A0lMPde6q8?...

The cat-sìth of Celtic myth takes the form of a large black cat with a white spot on its chest. If you leave a saucer of milk out on Samhain, the cat-sith will bless your household and bring good fortune. If you don't, it will curse your cows' udders to dry up. #LegendaryWednesday

Initially, we thought it had been placed to protect the Church however, as events transpired, perhaps it was to protect the outside from what was within the grounds itself? paranormalreason.com/the-long-for...
