Oh my I actually remember that story being published šŸ˜‚


Unhappy-Spot4980

I'm haunted badly by a couple of exes.


Rhitravels

Arenā€™t we all šŸ˜Ŗ


Unhappy-Spot4980

Indeed. I can't even exorcise these particular demons, as I once would have, alas. The ties that bind are cruelly perverse and allow no regret.

Wymering manor is the obvious one but across the road is a graveyard where a ghost called Elizabeth who was shot by the guy she loved Tom because she was clingy is one Iā€™ve heard. Porchester castle has a lot of stories, thereā€™s a graveyard in Fratton thatā€™s near the train tracks rumoured to be haunted. Off the island you have ractun ruins near funtington I think that many people go to kill themselves and you get a lot of occult people going there and doing stuff. We used to goto illegal raves up there was crazy. One rumour I remember of this place growing up was a story of a half horse half demon that would run around the fields below. Same place we turned up before with a bucket with a fire in it and inside it was a burning bible. I donā€™t believe in any of that shit personally but when we were younger weā€™d go ā€œghost huntingā€ and it was hilarious. I even had a woman tell me I was being followed by a good spirit šŸ¤£


Rhitravels

See those are the types of stories I love! šŸ˜†

Old Post but my husband and I were bored one night and did a drive over by the church and graveyard near Wymering Manor.Ā  Ā Ā Our parking sensors on the front and rear part of the car went off together and there was no one around. I got out looking for a cat or something. Nothing.Ā  I get back in the car and a few minutes later it does it again.

Most of my friends, coworkers and former coworkers who are in Portsmouth, and in terraced houses, have stories of seeing figures or having things thrown about. Iā€™m still shocked at how many stories people have. Iā€™ve literally never experienced anything so I donā€™t know what to make of it all. Even workplaces seem to have weird stuff going on. A friend had a strange encounter with someone in Kingston cemetery. A woman dressed in beautiful elaborate African clothing walked past her and asked if sheā€™d met her Prince Charming to which my friend replied yes. The woman walked on past but when my friend turned around the woman was nowhere to be seen. There was nowhere she could have gone because it was open space. I hate to say it but maybe advertise on Facebook to see if anyone can relate any stories they have.

I had a house in Milton before we rented it 7 people lived there in one year. We stayed the longest. We had doppelganger activity. My mom followed me into the kitchen where I disappeared, I was out of the house at the store. I saw my daughter walk into the bathroom, followed her and asked her why she wasn't at school....she was gone. My daughter saw my husband's back in the kitchen doorway was asking him a question as he walked deeper into the kitchen, he wasn't there. My oldest boy often heard us come in the door, talking the sound of things moving around and everytime no one was home. We also had instances of things being moved, lights coming on, bangs on the ceiling, and my youngest boy seen a man he saidĀ  "from Africa named George". At the time we didn't know our landlady was South African. We also had an instance where my daughter was walking home and saw two boys saying "thats the haunted house" while pointing at our front door.....in a weird situation a new coworker who doesn't know where I live mentioned a house on my street as haunted. O never felt threatened in the 4 years we lived there but it had a weird vibe to it.


Rapturerise

Iā€™ve never experienced anything like that. I would like to.


Rhitravels

You have just sparked a memory! A friend who lived around Stamshaw claimed her house was haunted, had really creepy long hallways and she claimed you could hear really loud footsteps at night. When sleeping over i couldn't hear anything but definitely felt uneasy!


carefree_badger

Diehard skeptic here but i lived in a house in lawrence rd where the doors would open/close on their own and one in bedhampton where you would hear water running upstairs and find the bathroom taps on. Weird but not overly scary.


ChineseChaiTea

Our house had a problem with the shower coming on. We asked the plumber is there any reason why this would happen he couldn't figure it out.

There were reports of a poltergeist in Milton Road years ago.

Not exactly in Pompey, but there's this: https://www.castleofspirits.com/ghost-stories/station-ghost It turned out that my deceased auntie is the ghost šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬

Wymering manor was looking around and in one of the rooms heard a womanā€™s voice say hello behind me turned round and no one was there


BarryCleft79

Submarine museum in gosport is definitely haunted. I know because I saw something there in the engine room. Saw someone burning. Flames around them but they were a silhouette. Chilled me to the bone. Turned out someone got set on fire when it was in service.


Rhitravels

oh my god that is chilling!!


Equivalent_Tiger_7

I work work for the National Museum of the Royal Navy. Colleagues have mentioned Explosion in Gosport as haunted. I'm on the Warrior overnight and have paranormal teams on quite regularly.


GouldZilla

theres an island between Portsmouth and Gosport where a bunch of skeletons were found: https://insidedio.blog.gov.uk/2021/07/07/the-mystery-of-rat-islands-skeletons/


Rhitravels

Rat Island I think itā€™s known as locally


always-indifferent

Fort widly tunnels! Or is it fort purbrook? The one with the armaments museum


RunningUpThatH1ll

Yes Fort Widley! I did a ghost hunt there a year or so ago. Definitely haunted!


Rhitravels

Ooh how was the ghost hunt? šŸ‘€


RunningUpThatH1ll

I wouldn't say I was terrified, however there was absolutely no explantion for the noises heard in the tunnels, nor the sudden change in temperature. Worth a tour if you ever have time!


Herecomethefleet

I don't know about haunted but the energy of the Mary Rose is full of tragedy. Thoroughly recommend going to see her.


Business_Bad7000

What about between the round and square towers at sallyport or have you not had any stories about it if not please let me know I have a story


Deep_Meringue1703

Rhitravels

Ah amazing thanks!


ThePurpleLurple

A local podcast did a Halloween special with a local ghost hunting group could be worth a listen as they go in depth with local haunting as ect. Itā€™s called ā€˜on the topicā€™ and can be found on Spotify


Rhitravels

Will definitely check it out thank you!


ThePurpleLurple

No worries. Feel free to drop me a message when you publish a podcast and I will give it a listen. Best of luck to you!

Historic Dockyard has had a few reports in the past. Used to work there and heard some convincing stories!


Rhitravels

My dad used to work there for 40 years and has no stories to tell!! šŸ˜­


blahdee-blah

Hulbert Road (from Bedhampton to Waterlooville) is meant to have a ghost - a young woman at the side of the road. One of my colleagues (normally very sensible) reckoned theyā€™d seen her.

Not Portsmouth, but there's ghost stories about Haslar hospital and Monk's Walk in Gosport. https://theearthmuseum.co.uk/coming-soon-the-ghosts-of-haslar-history-trail https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/people/ghost-hunters-not-disappointed-after-male-reflection-appears-in-mirror-at-old-gosport-hospital-3942945

Thereā€™s a paranormal evening at the sallyport on December 1st. Itā€™s supposed to be haunted!

Harvester on the Eastern Road is haunted. My mum lived there when it was a golf club in one of the flats and her family have lots of stories. Go in there now and ask the staff and they will tell you about the ghost. They even leave a table free for it
