The Haunted Ebay Doll

 

This is Emily a porcelain doll belonging to a 50 something witch we'll call Angela (name change for the sake of anonymity). 

Angela purchased Emily from Ebay as a "little sisiter" to a haunted doll already in her possesion. She says that she had never thought about collecting haunted dolls until one day she noticed a doll for sale in a new age type shop she had visited to buy some coloured spells candles. The doll that caught her attention was said to be haunted by the spirit of a 7 year old girl named Louise and for some reason unknown to herself Angela was very drawn to her.

At first she ignored this feeling, bought the spell candles and left the shop, but, she couldn't get Louise out of her mind so returned next day and bought her. Nothing much happened with Louise, or so Angela thought, though she did find herself putting children's TV programs on for the doll to watch. Also she began to feel that Louise was lonely and needed a companion, a sister. This led to Angela scouring the internet looking at haunted doll listings.

She looked at hundreds of listings on both Ebay and Etsy, narrowing her search to "positive child" spirits located in the UK.  Eventually when Angela had narrowed it down to a choice of 3 dolls, she decided to ask Louise if she would like any of these dolls as a sister.

Louise is a blonde ringleted, porcelain doll dressed in Victorian style clothes so Angela wasn't surprised when she picked Emily, a doll of similar colouring. How did she know this was the one Louise had picked? Angela said she just knew. She also said that she felt a sense of Louise's excitement as the Ebay order was placed.

According to her description, Emily was a sweet 5 year old girl, an only child who longed for a sister. Cause of death had not been established. She was said to respond to K2 meter, pendulum and cat balls. She arrived in a box marked fragile, well wrapped in loads of bubble wrap with a name tag attached to her wrist. Angela unwrapped the doll in the presence of Louise, introduced herself and the dolls to one another and left them to it.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened, Angela was inclined to think she'd been a bit delusional, still she kept on putting kids programs on the TV for 'the girls". She even found herself browsing ths children's books at he library.

A few weeks after the arrival of Emily, Angela dreamt of two young girls playing on the swings in a park. The girls were lightly built with blonde hair, dressed not in Victorian clothes, but, possibly clothes from the 1960s, they looked around 5 and 7 years old, they were very happy, laughing, having lots of fun.

Since then Angela has communicated with both Emily and Louise using a pendulum, she asks simple yes and no questions. Sometimes she gets an answer, sometimes not, however, she firmly believes that both the dolls are haunted by happy spirit children who communicate with her via subtle feelings and appear in her dreams.

The ghosts of Nunnington Hall, North Yorkshire

Strange things happen in 17th Century Nunnington Hall situated on the banks of the River Rye in North Yorkshire. Now owned and managed by The National Trust a member of staff has assured me that Nunnington Hall is indeed haunted although not in a scary fashion. She found upon entering the building in the morning that lights, which she personally switched off, had been turned on and locked doors open. Lilette de Foucauld, a young French woman staying at Nunnington during the 1930's would probably not have agreed with my source. She found her sleep disturbed in the Panelled Room by something coming out of the wall over her bed. Moving to another bedroom restored her sleep! Visiting members of the public have commented on the feeling of something brushing against their legs at the top of the staircase. This is believed to be the ghost of a pet dog who plunged to it's death through the staircase railings. Visitors have also reported a smell of pipe smoke, glimpses of a hur...

Sarah Preston the ghost of Boston Stump a September Haunting

The ghost of Sarah Preston, who was blamed for spreading the plague that resulted in over 400 deaths in Boston, is a recurring ghost that is said to be more active during the month of September. Sarah lived in a cottage in the shadow of St Botolphs church in the Lincolnshire town of Boston, the principal port of England in medieval times, and it here, in her husband's absence, that she entertained a sailor  who, unbeknown to Sarah, was carrying the plague. Guilt stricken, Sarah Preston climbed the 365 steps to the top of St Botolph's tower, known as Boston Stump, and committed suicide by leaping from the top. Sarah's ghost has been seen to jump from the top of the tower only to disappear before touching the ground.

Hannath Hall

Hannath Hall, a private dwelling in Tydd Gote near Wisbech has a long history of paranormal activity. It's an Elizabethan manor house, formerly known as Sparrow's Nest until purchased by Josepth Hannath in 1812. Legend tells that when Joseph's wife died he became deranged and refused to allow the body to leave the house. For two months Joseph Hannath kept his wife's body in her bedroom and insisted that her meals were taken to her.  One poor maid was driven to suicide by this madness and it's believed to be her ghost that has been seen walking the corridors of the house. Eventually Joseph allowed his wife to be buried, under a chestnut tree in the garden. But some say that thereafter no-one could sleep in the bedroom where the body had been kept. Fast forward to 1957 when a Peterborough journalist has car troubles near Hannath Hall. The then owners, Derek and Catherine Page (Derek Page went on to become the MP for Kings Lynn) invite him in and inevitably ...
