Ghosts and paranormal activity in ED & PR


Louisa

Recommended Posts

Having recently been visited by a local psychic due to some unexplained activity in my home, I wondered of anyone else had seen or heard of any local ghostly activities? I found a few articles online regarding tales of spiritual activity, and this one in particular caught my eye regarding the old Kings Arms pub which was destroyed during the blitz.

Hey come on, you can't leave it there!


What "unexplained activity" ?!

Sue, I've been attending a spiritualist church in Eltham for a few years now on a Sunday, and until very recently had disregarded certain things at home happening. But progressively increasing in frequency I've had unexplained activity happening at home. Including cold spots, movement of objects and the smell of cigar smoke. A visiting spirit medium told me it was the ghost of a man who had lived in the property some 70 years ago and he was an active spirit. I am actually quite happy to have him here, though some people experience more sinister hauntings, I've been lucky.

Voltore you make a great point, and this was my reckoning too. I've always had an open mind towards other worldly activities for years, and having never previously experienced much I guessed it was all load of old s*it. However, since attending this place I've been given guidance over what to look out for, and I always look for the rational before jumping to conclusions. I've had a trained spirit medium as well as other individuals experiencing things in the property and it all fits together.

Not sure you necessarily need to have had a death there for people to experience things like that?

Agreed, I think the alcohol supply is more important

I started a thread a while back on paranormal stuff or something like that - there were some interesting stories.

To answer your question tho, nothing experienced in ED but the house I grew up in was occupied and there was loads of weird shit that went down. Thing is, unless you've seen it / were there, its awkward explaining it because people are quite rightly dubious and if you haven't got a stake in trying to convince anyone (who cares what people who weren't there think) it's just a whole load of effort for nowt.

Er...... So it's only this world that you're closed minded and bigoted to then?


And cigar smoke? How very middle class. You must be distraught.

Yes.

Cigar smoking middle class? If anything I'd have said upper class. Although having said that, I can remember the working men's club in Peckham back in the 70s and a lot of the old boys smoked cigars and pipes.

I have no idea about paranormal stuff, but people keep quoting that 11 people died in the Kings Arms and that just isn't true, even if Dulwich on View says it is!

I have just checked an official blitz mapping website which confirms a bomb did destroy the Kings Arms public house in 1941, however there is no further information on how many people were killed, if any at all. Like others on here, I've been told the stories through older relatives of people dying but I cannot find any factual information confirming this.


Taper, thank you for your reassurance, but as with all belief systems I think we are entitled to believe them whether others do or not. The psychic was not paid, she has been doing it for years and admits herself it isnt flawless, she can only describe what she feels and sees in her minds eye. Whether you choose to believe her or not is upto you.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
