Don’t Scare Claire

Each of these seven ghost stories comes from a real home, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

From a garden refit that may have angered the long-passed, to unexplained bruises that appeared overnight, each of these stories centres around a home where something didn’t want to be ignored.

To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from someone’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.

For nearly 150 years, Bodmin Jail was the kind of place you entered through those imposing gates, and prayed you’d one day leave again. Because not everyone did.

And perhaps this is the reason why the now-luxury hotel and visitor attraction is said to be haunted by former inmates, staff, and possibly… something far darker.

In 2010, Paul & Samantha moved into their new home, a place where they hoped to raise their young daughter in peace.

But the house had other ideas.

Their family was tormented for two brutal years, with Paul suffering the worst of the evil paranormal activity.

This is their real ghost story.

Bodmin jail has stood since 1779, and in that time, it saw almost 150 years of suffering before it closed its doors for good.

To this day, people who stay in the now-converted luxury hotel, or visit the attraction, will claim to experience things they can’t explain.

Could it be that the prisoners who never got to leave, are making their presence known?

These are three creepy haunted house stories, told by the people who actually lived there. Each ghost story comes from a real home, with firsthand accounts of experiences they still can’t fully explain.

From shadow figures seen lurking in basements, to unexplained noises echoing through otherwise empty houses, each of these stories centres around a home where something seemed unwilling to leave.

These are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from someone’s own experience. Make of them what you will.
