My aunty always felt she was going to die due to a fire caused by her son, who would come home drunk or stoned late at night and cook and forget about it or who would fall asleep with his smoke in his hand.

One day when my aunty went out the back she saw her shed on fire and thought her son was in there he was 30 at the time.
He would use this shed to sit in and smoke pot.

My aunty had her other sons 13 year old son there and she screamed fir him to ring 000 , she grabbed the hose and tried to out out the fire but suddenly she went down. Her grandson did CPR but sadly she died of a heart attack.
My cousin her son wasn't in the shed but he had left a bong in there that had tipped and some how caught on fire , that's what the fire fighter said.

That was 30 years ago and to this day both my mother and their other sister will smell her perfume , they get wiffs that last 30 seconds . My mother has been in the lounge room with my brother and both smell it. My other aunt will be in her loungeroom and smelt it along with her daughter and husband. The perfume was Taboo and only my aunty who passed was the only to ever wear it and alot of it
How could a bong falling over cause a fire, they have no flame as such and they're full of water???

I know about bongs have used one b4 back to my cousin. He was always having smoko in the shed and at times fell asleep out there on an old lounge he kept out there. Anyway he did something or forgot something and left one Saturday afternoon and the shed caught fire and my aunt thought her son was in there , he wasn't and she died having a heart attack trying to put it out.

Same as he would come home late at night and cook and forget about it with my aunt waking to the pot burning and in the morning he knew nothing about trying to cook.

He always left gear around.
He is 10 months older than me, still lives in the same house and still smokes outside , only because he knew his mum didn't like it.

He has kept her room exactly the same as the day she died and locked.

Yes he is stoned every day

True Ghost Stories Are You A Believer ?

The Haunted Doll​

When you think of haunted dolls, it’s likely the creepy old Victorian-looking porcelain kind that springs to mind. None of which you probably have laying around. Still, don’t get too comfortable around any kids toys too soon, though: a Disney’s Frozen Elsa doll that was gifted for Christmas 2013 in the Houston area made headlines earlier this year when it seemingly became haunted.




The family decided to throw the creepy doll out in December of 2019. Weeks later, they found it inside a bench in their living room. “The kids insisted they didn’t put it there, and I believed them because they wouldn’t have dug through the garbage outside,” Madonia told KPRC2 Houston News.

At that point, Elsa ceased to sing the English rendition of “Let It Go” altogether, speaking only Spanish when pressed. The family then double-bagged the bizarre doll and placed it at the bottom of their garbage which was taken out on garbage day. They went on a trip shortly after, but when they returned, Elsa too had come back, and was waiting in the backyard of their home.

This time, the family mailed Elsa to a family friend in Minnesota, who taped the haunted doll to the front bumper of his truck. It doesn’t seem to have made its way back to Houston yet
 
A Road in Sydney and the stories which surround it is enough to send shivers down your spine. This being The Wakehurst Parkway
image.jpg


Bloodthirsty rumours surround this exceptionally dark road on the Northern Beaches, but the standout tale is of a ghost who hops into the backseat of unsuspecting cars driving down it after midnight. Stories vary, but most centre around a section of the road near Oxford Falls, where it’s been reported that a young girl or older nun opens a car’s back door and compels drivers to crash. Like all good ghost stories, there’s a lot of hyperbole: the apparition allegedly has piercing green eyes that torment the driver via the rear-view mirror, and there are recounts of the spirit invoking a need to return after you’ve encountered them once, forcing drivers to come back again and again...
 
This next story I actually knew a couple of people who went out to this particular Train Station and waited until the last train past , when after one hour and nothing, were about to get into their car and leave when from a short distance away , they heard a bloid curdling scream and when they looked there she was standing still for a few minutes before disappearing . But they both saw it and as clear as say.

Macquarie Fields Train Station​

You know it’s a serious haunting when news of ghostly apparitions pops up in the Wikipedia page of a Sydney traino. The figure many claim to see at Macquarie Fields Train Station is a girl or woman dressed in white, screaming or sobbing on the tracks. She’s splattered with what looks like blood, and said to appear after the last train leaves the station. Some in Sydney's spectre-stalking community have suggested that the figure is the Earth-bound spirit of Emily Hay Georgeson, who supposedly committed suicide on the tracks in 1906. While she doesn’t appear to be malevolent, Georgeson would strike a terrifying figure after the witching hour.

Sorry Suzanne but stories like these make me laugh a bit. :)

I remember first hearing about the hauntings of Gladwsville Mental Hospital from my grandmother in the 70s who had a friend working there .

Gladesville Mental Hospital​

Sydney’s first purpose-built mental asylum sat on the northern banks of the Parramatta River. In classic 1838 style, it was horrifically titled Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum, and institutionalised people who were of sound mind – perhaps being depressed or having experience domestic violence – along with the clinically insane. Intentions were to rehabilitate and release patients, but there are stories of them being unethically restrained and abused in the overcrowded centre until it was decommissioned in 1997. It’s reported that more than 1,000 corpses of former inmates were buried in an unmarked lot on the site. Add to this the more than 100 anonymous graves that the asylum was supposedly built on top of – they were just asking to be haunted with this move – and you’ve created one of the bloodiest supernatural sites in Sydney. Some say they feel an eerie presence beside the derelict buildings

Can you see the ghost in this picture? Spirits haunt derelict asylum​

THEY are haunting images of bedlam - an Australian lunatic asylum that opened more than 170 years ago.
An exhibition by photographer Yvette Worboys titled Ghosts has captured eerie images of the former Gladesville Mental Hospital, in Sydney, which opened in November 1838 and closed in 1997.

Worboys, who has lived in the area most of her life, said she was drawn to the partly derelict hospital by its residual energy.

@Observer . Ok I'm going to tell you a true story that happened to me and my family.
With plenty of witnesses.

November 1991, it was 11.15 am and a sunny day. I had just put the baby down for a morning sleep. Hubby had the day off and was working in the garden.

I starting cleaning the kitchen and as I started to wipe the table , from the corner of my eye I saw a grey figure , solid and grey. I couldn't see the face as it had a complete dark grey cloak over it. The whole thing was this grey. It stood looking at me for maybe 15 seconds then vanished in front of my eyes.

The first thing I did was scream out to my husband , then I started called out it wasn't welcomed in my house.

10 minutes later I called my grandmother and said , you are not going to believe what I have seen. Without saying another word she told me what I had just seen. Why !!! Because it was now at her place, the problem was it stayed, she would see it standing in her doorway while watching TV, she saw it at the bottom of her bed. It started really scaring her. Then she thought it had something to do with my grandfather, who was in a nursing home and we were told he didn't have much longer.

I called a few new age church , I needed to fund out what the grey colour spirit ment.
What I was told was it was someone ready to die but refused and wouldn't leave. Like their will was to strong. We thought my grandfather.

A few weeks later on the 2nd December 1991 my grandmother had a heart attack and passed away.

For the next 5 days things in her house happened .
1 . A picture if the last supper which was a clock and no longer worked. But nan lived it and kept it in her wall after taking it to see if it could be repaired. Her son and wife, plus older grandchildren were staying there, on thus particular day I was there , my mum, two aunts , uncle ect when we notice the click was working and actually on the right time. When my uncle took it down there were no batteries in it.

2. My nan disliked my uncle's wife and absolutely every time she went to have a shower the water would go on boiling hot.

Other things happened including things being moved.

The say before her funeral I was sitting at my kitchen bench at 5 am having coffee and crying and listening to the radio. I said softly out loud that I wished she could let me know that she was OK. Straight away her favourite song played Honey by Bobby Goldsbourough. I had never heard it on the radio before and never again until a couple of years ago.

This is a true story with plenty of witnesses

I'm a believer. I was in my early 20's and had moved to Melbourne to live in a share house. The only space available was a converted garage so I made it my own. About a week after I moved in, I was woken up at about 1am by something heavy sitting on my legs. Whatever it was, was moving, so I thought it was the cat. When I turned on the light however, there was nothing there. It freaked me out at the time and I couldn't go back to sleep. When I told the others in the house, they freaked as well and said that I had to move out. I wasn't really happy about it because it was the first place that I had actually been able to make my own and I decided that no ghost was going to drive me away. About a week later, at exactly the same time, I was woken with that same pressure on my legs. So I sat bolt upright and said (quite angrily) "listen here you, if you keep waking me up at night, one of is going to go and it won't be me!" After that, I knew when it came, but it never disturbed my sleep again.
