Enjoy these Halloween short stories that Jeremy will share on this year’s “Dead Air” broadcast.
Phantom Hitchhiker
The dark underground tunnels of London are said to house a ghost story or two. Blackwall Tunnel running under the murky River Thames in east London is reportedly home to a phantom hitchhiker. The apparition seems to prefer motorcyclists who say the passenger vanishes by the time they reach the end of the 6,200′ long tunnel. In one case where the apparition gave an address to their destination, the rider was greeted by a woman who explained a young man had lost his life in a motorcycle crash years earlier.
Black-Eyed Girl
Did a man in England walking his dog encounter an infamous black-eyed kid? He recalls a terrifying encounter with a little girl who had a pale face, completely black eyes and was giggling. He says she tugged on his coat before skipping off into the trees. It scared the you-know-what out of his dog. Sightings in the Staffordshire Forest date back decades after a young girl was murdered and her ghost is believed to still occupy the area.
Something Chased My Cat
Whatever chased a Canadian woman’s cat is the reason that she will no longer go into her basement alone. She says she is terrified after security footage from her home in Ontario showed a black mist coming out of a doll that attacked her cat. She says she’s experienced paranormal happenings since she moved into the home including objects moving around on their own and eerie shadowy figures appearing out of the darkness. A psychic told her the activity is possibly connected to a group of teenagers using an ouija board.
Ambulance Menace
A mischievous ghost left medics at a hospital in Costa Rica scratching their heads. They went to check out a disturbance when a siren on an ambulance automatically activated with nobody in sight. A black shadow was then seen on the building’s security system moving past the vehicle.
Crying Ghost Girls
A security guard at a market in Peru says he had an encounter with the ghost of a young girl who was crying inconsolably. The guard says he came across her while making his patrols and tried to take her to a secured area, but she only wanted to find her mother who worked in the meat section. He left to get help and when he returned, there was no sign of the girl. Meanwhile, a female with a strange face gave security guards at a cemetery in Colombia the creeps when she began crying out for help and grabbed onto high-voltage electrical lines without being shocked. Sadly, there is no word how this one ended.
Ghost Riders
A passenger of the undead variety apparently managed to board a bus in Delhi without paying a fare. The driver only noticed the figure when they looked at the security camera. Meanwhile, a ghost hopped into the passenger seat of a truck while it was traveling in Monterrey, Mexico. She was wearing a dress that appeared to be from the 1900’s, but the driver couldn’t see her. It wasn’t until dispatch saw the visitor on surveillance cameras and asked the driver about the passenger that he realized he was not alone in the cab.
Police Station Goblins
Police officers in Zimbabwe claim they are being violated at night by goblins. It’s reportedly been so traumatizing that they moved out of the station. Male officers say they’ve been terrorized by female goblins at night. Their bodies are violated, doors open on their own and it sounds as if things are climbing on the roof. The police department hoped that having officers work in pairs would make the situation better, but they can no longer stay at the station for extended periods.
Haunted Mansion For Sale
The “most haunted” mansion in Wales that’s famous for stories of a ghost revealing herself to single men went on the market this summer. The 12,758 square-foot Derwydd Mansion in the Welsh countryside is synonymous with ghostly activity, particularly of a female ghost in white who tends to only be interested in single guys and appears to them in a window.
