Ghosts & Hauntings

Team encounters 'ghost' crawling along road

Members of a Scottish paranormal group came across the figure during an investigation in East Lothian.
Investigators for Lanarkshire Paranormal had been on a visit to Cockenzie House near Edinburgh, a 17th century mansion with a long history of paranormal sightings and occurrences.

The most notable incident of the night however happened not inside the building itself but on the road out front when group co-manager Steff Murdoch-Richards went to help a seemingly injured woman who had been seen crawling around outside.

"As he helped her up she was very cold and pale and, although she was crawling on the floor in heavy rain, her dress seemed dry and no signs of mud," the team wrote in a report.
"She had no weight to her whatsoever and seemed perfectly fine once she was standing up. Within a few moments of walking away, he turned round and she was gone."

The incident occurred several hours in to the group's investigation at the house.

"She was crawling on the floor and it looked like her arms and quite possibly her back had been broken - but there was no sign of that when she stood up," said Murdoch-Richards.

"And then, obviously, where did she go?"

"She was crawling on the floor and it looked like her arms and quite possibly her back had been broken - but there was no sign of that when she stood up," This has already been done in the film the ring, someones imagination playing up here.

What a shock that there is no video of "the ghost". That's because this was an investigation, dangit! A purposeful, planned exploration of this property! Bone up on your terms, mate.

Interesting that they indicate the woman had no weight. If so, how can one possibly lift the equivalent of a projected holographic image?

Mkay soooo I just wanna get the scenario right...I'm a co-manager of a ghosthunting Group conducting a ghosthunt with sh'tloads of equipment at a haunted location.. I see a mysterious woman crawling on all 4 with an obviously broken back and neck outside on the road... I go to examine the entity without any of my teammembers and with no camera or other equipment. on closer examination the woman is pale, cold and strangely dry all though being outside in the rain. I help her up... Again without any assistance from my teammembers, she appear to weigh nothing, her back and neck strangely seem fin... [More]

LOL, so they thought her back was broken, yet they helped her stand up?

I like how most ghosts sightings are always in like old victorian mansions from like the 1700 or 1800s, never in say a Target, Wal Mart, Mcdonalds. Apparently, the criteria has to be a house (or castle) with a lot of history behind it before apparitions start appearing / floating around.

Seen some of those customes in Wal Mart, they would frighten the most hardened ghost off.

On the next episode of Ghost Hunters.... Guessing the rest of the investigation was uneventful.
