- Welcome to The Bromley Poltergeist!
Some images are for illustration.
Today, we are going to investigate a very strange case of a poltergeist from the early 1970s. Three elderly men were tormented for a number of years by a violent poltergeist in a rather unusual location. Why the men were targeted, nobody knows, but the Society for Psychical Research found no evidence of a hoax. Welcome to this little known, yet terrifying case of a deeply disturbing poltergeist. In the post script, we will discuss some theories about poltergeists and I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments! Do you think a poltergeist was at work or could the events be explained in a different way?
Some of the stories focus on historic events and I hope you feel that my video covers the sad side of history in a respectful and honest way, without the need for sensationalising the past. Please stay tuned to the end to hear a small post script from me, Nicola, where we will discuss some ideas about such hauntings.
As always, I hope you enjoy these tales from across the UK. Feel free to leave a comment. Thank you so much for your kind words and comments. They mean so much to me. Please feel free to Like and Subscribe to the channel.

I think you make the highest quality ghost videos on YT. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! You are very kind! 🙏👻🙋♀️
🎉🎉🎉 I concur entirely xx
That's a given.
When you said, " . . . three elderly men", I was very surprised. Usually, poltergeist activity centers around adolescents. Although it can and has happened to people of all ages, it is teenagers that normally fuel the fire.
Yes I was shocked and can you imagine being attacked by a saw of all things and having a garden fork lobbed at you? It’s terrifying! And I agree, odd it’s not adolescent as usual. I think the fact they were pensioners makes this such an unusual case! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Yup!
Been a fan of the supernatural for years and have to confess I hadn't heard of this particular poltergeist. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Thank you Jason and I only found it recently too! But it was so eventful! Scary for those guys! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Don't feel bad Jason, this poltergeist case isn't common knowledge and the ironic thing is the location of this case happened in Grove Park. But Grove Park isn't in Bromley, it's in Lewisham. I should know because I live in Bromley.
It always amazes me that no one ever thinks to just ask “what do you want”? from the entity/entities.
Or ask the entity "why are you here?....do you need my help?"
It may depend on whether the entities' actions scared you or not: some people may be too afraid from what they've experienced to ask questions.
You white light yourself and the area and send them to the light. Sometimes, buildings have had to been burnt to the ground the entity was so evil.
Or just tell them, "Stop that!". You wouldn't put up with a live person walking into your house and doing that.
@@thurayya8905 you haven't had much experience with spiritual matters have you?
I had an encounter with...something at a friend's house. A large heavy picture was lifted off it's hooks and smashed onto the floor. The wire wasn't broken, the hook was intact in the wall. She had beautiful tropical plants, tree sized, and the leaves would rustle sometimes.
Wow! Did this activity ever just stop? Do you think it is poltergeist activity or a ghost?
If this activity is still going on, it maybe worth trying to take video footage of it. Because I think you may have something there.
She has moved and I can't tell you how glad I am. I hated that house.@@davidhabert
I have no idea. I feel like a fool even talking about it. I have never experienced anything like it before and I hope I never do again. It was horrible. @@user-tn5ym9uo1y
My sister rang me in the early hours of the morning to tell me that she had woken up just after 3am which she said was unusual for her. She decided to put the tv on low and was sat up in bed watching the tv when something caught her eye to the left of her. She has one of those cherry blossom plug in trees in her bedroom and one of the branches was shaking quite vigorously and stopped as soon as she spotted it. She said there were no windows open, nothing to cause a draft and her floor is solid. Her dog then jumped on her bed and started barking and growling whilst staring at her slightly ajar bedroom door. She was a little apprehensive hence the early morning call to me.
Most important sentence: it stopped when the work on a nearby garage was finished. I'd investigate the heck out of that garage and the land it's on; also, why was that house torn down in 1800 and nothing built in its place?? I'd investigate it as well. The efforts at communication need to be re-examined, too. Lots of possibilities!
I really hope the society for psychical research get back to me as perhaps we might get some answers. 🙋♀️👻🙏
I came here to say just that, lol
My exact thought on hearing this. Was the doctor somehow connected?
I also never heard of that haunting.Very wierd it started got worse then all but disappears.1659 date caught my intrest and got me wondering if something happened that area in that year.Great Video.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! Yes it’s interesting as they weren’t interested in selling their story to the papers or anything like that! I hope the society for psychical research come back to me too! 🙋♀️👻
Fascinating case and one I'm not familiar with. Those old boys would not have made something like this up and, as you say, they were quite obviously in some physical danger too in terms of the objects being thrown around.
On a personal note a number of years ago I worked the night shift as a security guard on a derelict site undergoing demolition in a town on the south coast of Devon. We would have stones thrown at us from nowhere, from all directions, whenever we went out on our nightly patrols. The stones were always the same small round pebbles, like those you'd find on a beach, and they were always very warm to the touch. There was an intelligence to the phenomena too, in that the stone throwing would respond to certain people more than others. The stones were never thrown directly at us but rather just passed us or next to us, as though done simply to get our attention, which it certainly did! Going out on patrol in the middle of the night and hearing these stones being thrown closer and closer to you was pretty terrifying. Who knows what force or energy is behind such phenomena, but it definitely exists whatever it is.
Wow this is so interesting! I’m glad you enjoyed the video but I’m even more glad that you shared such an interesting experience! How interesting that the stones were thrown more towards some people than others! Scary but fascinating too 👻🙏🙏
@ghostcasebook1266 Hi there, yes it was an experience I'll never forget. On one occasion in the small hours of the morning, after having more stones thrown at us and after this had been going on now for several weeks, I challenged whatever it was by asking if throwing stones was all it could do. I accused it of being boring and continued to walk away on my patrol. No sooner had I got barely three steps away there was the sound of glass smashing at my feet. I jumped and looked down to see what remained of a broken light bulb. It could indeed throw more than stones if provoked! This proved to me that whatever it was definitely had some sort of intelligence. I am a big fan of your channel, and I look forward to more poltergeist cases being covered in future. 👍
@@johnbowles5399 , thanks for sharing such a visceral sounding experience John. Very interesting, you know when people say they saw a black mass or orb hovering around. I know for a fact that’s possible, I’ve seen one , that I was totally unaware of follow me out of my parents bathroom and when I looked up and noticed it ( coz it looked like it was either looking for me, or lost me, followed me halfway downstairs , I looked up. Noticed it and it jumped ahead of me by about a foot and went into me.
I didn’t feel anything or any different. I immediately told me father about it, who just looked at me- side eye style 😒.
I don’t know what to make of it but I know what I saw. There can be a bit of friction at my parents home and tbh that a black orb hangs about. Really doesn’t surprise me, my dads had health issues for a lot of years, I mean like 50 years. But he’s a workaholic. Thats what gets him up in the morning- work. And working as a flooring contractor aswell ( Hard work 😓 ). All the family have been effected by it in some way or other plus my mom has been married to him 50 years.
So she deserves the biggest medal 🥇 that’s available for being determined not to turn her back on her family and husband. But yet there will be negative emotions embued into the atmosphere by my mum too, I guess. Sorry if I’ve digressed a little there. It sort of flowed out that way. 🫢
Never heard of this case thank you for featuring it. Sounds like a a poltergeist to me but why it started and stopped so suddenly is puzzling 🤔 perhaps the building work near by had disturbed this entity. But surely it would have plagued that area. Perhaps it didn't like gardening 😁 Hope you hear back from the society 🤞🏻 Thanks really enjoyed your first Supernatural Sunday 👻👻👻
My thoughts exactly! It is a bizarre case! So glad you enjoyed the video and lots more to come for sure 🙋♀️👻🙏
The thing that fascinates me with poltergeists is how their actions defy the accepted rules of known physics.For example items are often found piled at strange angles that couldn't possibly stay connected unless they were glued or held together in some other way.Then there are apports,things appearing out of nowhere and then just as quickly disappearing,all reay fascinating.
Yes I think this is a great point and I’m grateful for your thought. Some very odd things stacked in a way that isn’t logical. Also I think when furniture is moved when no one is there is odd too. I don’t know if you’ve watched the Ghosts of Wales video I did but Powis castle had a great case of this! 🙋♀️👻🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 Thank you for your gracious reply.I haven't seen the ghost of wales video, but i will now thanks to your recommendation.All the best,rick.
Great, aren't they?! 🙂
Time for confession. I've never heard of this haunting. Bravo for finding, researching and sharing this one. You've done it again! Running out of words for your work. Excellent.....
I only discovered this story a few weeks ago and I love the fact that it’s not widely known about at all. But I wonder if the society for psychical research might shed more light on it, maybe 🙋♀️👻🙏
Hi Nicola,
I’m clairvoyant and my feeling is that 1659 represents a year, that children were murdered, and that the crosses meant that the clergy had something to do with it. As for the three men at the center of the activity, if they ever had anything to do with the harm of children, it may have triggered the attacks, or they may have simply been at the wrong place at the wrong time. The place where the new garages were being built may have disturbed the place that their bodies were buried….I would be curious to know what stood on the property in 1659. These hauntings usually result from a wrong doing that needs healing. Check out the Galway Poltergeist case in Ireland. Please let us know what you find out.
You are on the right track I think.
Murdered? Or victims of plague.....? I believe that's the correct time frame and may also explain some significance for the crosses... 🤔
Very curious case and strange location to be ĥaunted. Some of the items moved around were so heavy that a mysterious force to move them must have been incredibly strong, quite terrifying. The whole story is inexplicable, so many puzzling bits to it....thanks Nicola, great research and narration.
Thank you ever so much Celeste. I was so shocked when I read about this case and my parents have an allotment shed with these kinds of items. How bizarre! 🙋♀️👻
Everything is atoms. To an extra-dimensional being, the weight of our physical objects is probably irrelevant. These beings deal with energy, not matter.
Thanks for another interesting story. Years ago, when I was completing tertiary study, I worked in the city as a cleaner at night. In one particular building and only on the 3rd floor, strange things would happen frequently. I don't mention it much, even to my family and friends, but it's good to hear from others who have experienced things they can't explain.
Thanks for sharing! That’s so interesting. Were you frightened by the events? I agree, I appreciate the comments and experiences that my viewers share. It’s so wonderful. 👻🙋♀️🙏
Great video, really enjoyed this. I believe this to be true. As an allotmenteer, there is no way you would waste maxicrop!😄 Looking forward to hearing about the notes. Thanks again 👍
Very true! I love this! My parents have an allotment but thankfully their shed isn’t haunted! 🙋♀️👻🙏
Round of applause Nicola 🎉🎉 a triffic upload balanced and in depth with all round excellence. The pellet 'Skull' sounds like pre 'Daniel Hirst' so exciting to see the upload on a dull cold Sunday afternoon xx
Do you mean Damian Hurst ?
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 👻🙋♀️
Yes it does sound like a Damian Hurst doesn’t it? Glad you enjoyed the video for sure 🙋♀️👻🙏
The Enfield case has always seemed rather suspect to me, as I think it was all centered on (and sometimes faked) by Janet and her siblings. This one, however, is a puzzler.
I might be wrong but I think they might have admitted to messing about with certain aspects of it but not all of it but I am not sure. This was interesting:
czcams.com/video/Pvraq3KfP6w/video.htmlsi=evT-LaW8xyHfEHtE
I really enjoyed that episode. I think that whatever it is, doesn't detract from how frightening it would be. There's a lot of unexplained things in our world so we will never know.
Yes it is an absolutely bizarre case! I had to cover it. I hope I hear back from the Society for Psychical Research. The chap knew the case so maybe we will hear! 👻🙋♀️
A doctor's house occupied the grounds? Perhaps a patient was buried there for some reason and the gardening taking place was disturbing the unknown gravesite?
I don't really believe in the whole ghost/haunting thing. (I do believe i died when i was younger from alcohol poisoning after a heavy night of drinking; heard trumpets and saw a blinding bright light. My brother, who died just a few years prior, met me and said to go back, its not your time yet... I woke up absolutely bewildered and completely sober!)
Anyway, I enjoy listening to you relate these incidents; your tone and voice inflection make it seem as if you are talking one on one with someone. Your comments and thoughts at the end are a nice touch, offering some possible explanations and sometimes even relating personal experiences. It's a good way to tie everything together -- like the conclusion written at the end of a term paper.
I be;I’ve he was a pioneering surgeon of some sort but I do wonder about the history of the land. His house only stood for 20 years and I would imagine that if he did surgery in front of an audience (as they did) that would have happened in London but you absolutely might be on to something! 🙋♀️👻
Interesting case. I think the fact that it didn't last shows definite poltergeist activity. I grew up with a presence in our house from when I was very young until I left aged 24. At one stage we had ramped up activity which was poltergeist in nature. I would lie in bed and have a fingernail tap the end of my brass bed. I would tell it to stop and it would and then it would start up again. We all witnessed a dark small shape run across our hallway and our old doorbell which was positioned between two locked doors and not accessable would ring constantly and there was nobody there. My brother said out loud that we would contact the church re having an exorcism and it stopped at that very point. Back to normal - which was the presence of a lady who would call out to me quite a lot but I was very much used to her so that was fine.
Wow this is fascinating but truly terrifying at the same time! Did you find it frightening at the time or did you become desensitised to it? I wonder? Thank you for sharing such an interesting experience and thank you for watching 👻🙋♀️🙏
I was so used to the experiences with the lady calling to me that I was fairly unphased however the poltergeist activity was fairly unpleasant and I was scared at night. I have witnessed many full bodied apparitions since I was very young so I tend to be a bit blase about it all to be honest. More recently I have had large black masses floating above my bed and I'm woken up by them and that is quite terrifiying. I see it as a blessing and a curse as I know many haven't experienced it and I also fully believe in an afterlife because of it. I love your channel! xx
@@ghostcasebook1266
Omg 😮 I have lived a stones throw away from Bromley all my life and have never heard of this poltergeist. Thank you Nicola for another brilliant upload…really looking forward to your next one! 👻👻👻❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes indeed who knew?! 👻🙋♀️🙏
As someone who has witnessed, shall we say, things. I can attest to the confusion poltergeist activity can produce. Thankfully ours limited itself to opening doors, turning lights on, apporting a spinning gold coin like object, which dropped into a waste bin, only to not be there when we looked, flashing lights, stacking of objects, books in particular, and on one occasion, recreating a scenario from a previous time. Can I say that, at no time did we feel threatened or alarmed at the activity. And we actually missed it when it stopped.
Fantastic find about the Bromley Poltergeist. Lookin forward to hearing the next chapter. ❤ xx
Oh wow thank you ever so much for sharing your personal account! This is amazing! I found it so fascinating when you said you miss it. That’s really interesting. I’m glad you enjoyed the video for sure 👻🙋♀️🙏
My late grandparents lived in a late Victorian house. I heard that one day, the long mirror at the top of the stairs was found to have been moved & was at the bottom of the stairs, blocking the front door.
The chord/wife was intact.
Oh wow! Thank you ever so much for sharing! Do you think your grandparents felt there was a presence of sorts in the house? 🤔👻🙋♀️
And yes, I have seen objects move when there is no corporeal entity doing it.
Awesome..Nichola is back with yet another fantastic video.👍👍👍👍
Thanks again! Glad you liked the video! 🙋♀️👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 you are very welcome Nichola, i LOVE your videos and always watch.we should get together sometime and go on a ghost hunting trip....Hellfire club in Dublin (whats left of it) could be a good start.👍👍
@@ghostcasebook1266 love your vides Nichola,always watch .👍👍
Well; that was truly awesome. Defo gotta watch this again.
Truly terrifying for those involved and witnesses too.
Some of the manifestation’s would have been nigh on impossible to physically create. It makes some of the sceptical academic theories appear somewhat asinine.
I have witnessed objects fall from shelves, fly harmlessly across a room. This happened at a friends house where the previous occupant died in the bungalow. Every time we talked about him, these things happened. Perhaps we were all suffering from anxiety or it was an earth quake. Anyway, we all know what we saw; perhaps an educated sceptic can offer a perfectly simple answers. So yes; because of my own experiences,I fully believe these poor people in tonights story.
Your new series has got off to a cracking start; you have set the bar very high indeed. I look forward to future editions with excitement.
Well done young lady. 👍♥️👻☠️☕️
Wow thank you so much! I love your account there of the incidents at your friend’s house. How interesting. Did it feel sinister at the time or just harmless? It is a strange story that an allotment, of all places, would become so frightening for these old chaps who just want to grow vegetables! Thank you for your kind words about the new series and I’m looking forward to creating more videos for the future 👻🙋♀️🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 No, never threatening at all.
Nothing was ever done with violence.
Things never escalated, we would talk about him and it appeared as if he was acknowledging us, showing us he was present.
It is worth noting however my friend had two younger sisters, about 12 and 14 yrs of age. However there were manifestations regardless of his sisters presence or otherwise. Sometimes it would be footsteps when someone was alone in the house, that kind of thing.
I witnessed these things myself multiple times.
As far as those poor chaps go, there are several leads I believe. One has got to be the date. Another might be previous usage of the land; especially with a Doctor in residence. Or it may be something that pre dates the Doctor. It occurs to me that it may be something entirety beyond our understanding or an incident or incidents lost to the mists of time.
Of course; non of this detracts from how amazing, frightening and awe inspiring this story is.
I look forward to hearing if further information is brought to your attention.
Mind how you go my friend.
Hi Nicola awesome live ghost stories video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin is doing well also. We're both watching your videos. Have a great day see you next video 😊
Thank you! You too! I’m glad you both watched it and enjoyed it! How’s the snow? Are you snowed in?🙋♀️👻
@ghostcasebook1266 no we have 5 cm of snow not much 🙂
1659 was the restoration. Maybe something happened in that area with regards to that.
This is such a fascinating case, and one I haven't heard of before. It's strange to note that while most poltergeist activity seems to occur around adolescent girls, this one occurred around elderly men. Assuming this wasn't an elaborate hoax, might there be a connection to people experiencing life-stage changes?
You could be right and I agree it is a very odd case. I love your point about life changing stages and I hadn’t thought about it that way! 🙋♀️👻🙏
I think people in their senior years do have experiences I have noticed it myself. Delia Morris
The externalisation theory, the idea that some deep-seated anger or frustration in the living manifests itself kinetically, is no less weird than a vindictive dead person moving stuff around. Both ideas are completely orthogonal to physics and psychology. The arc of activity, from small noises and movements to grand theatrical tricks, followed by an apparently unmotivated disappearance, are common in many poltergeist cases. It suggests the agent runs out of energy, or the withdrawal of permission, or becomes bored and moves on to a different location. The repertoire of pranks is similar, levitation, projectiles, apports, pushing, daubed words and pictures. It's as if the place and its contents become the stage of a performance for a captive audience.
Thank you so much for your really interesting comment. It seems there are all sorts of theories so I’m hoping to learn more as we move forward for sure! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Yikes! 😱 My hair went up along my neck nape whilst watching!! The entry made my heart rate shoot up so fast my care nurse popped round to see what was happening! Most terrifying and perplexing!😮😱
It is a very scary case but it’s barely known about! When I read about this case I was really shocked that such an ordinary situation became so dangerous👻🙋♀️🙏
I am so happy your channel popped up on my thread! I’ve been fascinated by hauntings for decades and have never heard of this extremely captivating case! I What I find most compelling is the “victims.” Generally speaking, when people get to the ages of these gentlemen they are brutally honest and have little tolerance for ignorant or irrational ideas! The fact that these gentlemen and the witnesses shared their experiences indicates how genuinely confused and frightened they were, but they didn’t seem to want public attention. All of these factors certainly make me see this as a very real and very terrifying haunting. And your thorough telling of this event is exceptional, and I think I’ll spend the rest of this gloomy, snowy day watching the rest of your videos! Thank you for sharing this fascinating case, and Happy New Year from “across the pond,” Missouri, USA!💓
Thank you for subscribing and welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and there are lots more for you to watch in time. It is a frightening case, for sure! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Fantastic video and as always you pick great images to accompany the story, probably way off but with the crosses etc and being the 1970's maybe the spirit was angry at them trading on a Sunday, as Sunday trading wasn't really a thing back then. As I say probably way off it was just a thought that came to mind.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you! That’s a very interesting thought 👻🙋♀️🙏
@@osakarose5612 It is, isn't it? 🤔
These attacks were quite vicious. I realize that this was a large component of stock, but their poltergeist certainly enjoyed its fertilizer. Were any photos taken? I would have loved to see that skull. Very violent, nasty, and physical. It all ceased when work renovating a garage ended? Curious. Thank you, I had never heard of this one before; it is totally new to me.
I am hoping the society of psychical research might help us in the photos front. I hope they did as I’d be so interested to know 👻🙋♀️
I have never heard of this account before, maybe since no children, animals, creepy dolls, or investigators with questionable motives were involved? I like how you cover many possible explanations. If this were a hoax, I do not believe it was perpetrated by the people affected who risked injury and loss of business. Well done and thank you.
Thank you so much. Initially, I thought ‘who wants to hear about some gardeners being haunted?’ but when I read the details I just thought ‘Oh my Gosh!’ and how bizarre that the ordinary became so extraordinary! My mum and dad have an allotment and luckily their shed isn’t haunted! 🙋♀️👻🙏
Extraordinary, well presented incident. Loved it! This takes Poltergeist activity to a new level... taking objects and transporting them through walls and into cars. The spiritual world must surely involve some kind of extra dimension to allow things to materialise from nowhere. I was plagued, or blessed, for about two years, by the appearance of marbles that came from 'nowhere'. One was found in my handbag, one in the side pocket of the passenger seat of my car, as I drove along. The last one appeared, rolling across the far side of my kitchen floor as I entered the room. We had just moved into that house, and had no children in our lives.
Thank you for you kind comment; I appreciate this so much! I also really appreciate you sharing such an interesting experience! I wonder if you felt that the presence was that of a previous occupant, as you say, maybe a child? That’s so interesting that you mention plagued or blessed? I love this! 👻🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 Thanks you! The marble apports ( and sometimes it was clear plastic beads or small plastic balls) started appearing in the garden while briefly renting a late 1700's cottage and continued for the next two moves, first in the gardens then culminating in the bag, car and kitchen floor. The only child connection was that in the first period rental in Westleton, at 9.00pm on two consecutive nights, we heard, through an adjoining wall, the distinct sound of children running along wooden floors. It was a holiday home, and empty at the time. Maybe a lost child latched onto me?
Wow that is absolutely amazing and yes that might be the reason; a lost child! I wonder? Thank you again for sharing and what a great experience! 👻🙋♀️🙏
I remember reading this years ago. Thanks for covering this interesting case. You're quite right, this hasn't been covered much at all. The items arranged in the shape of a cross could be the spirit's way of saying they were a Christian, instead of mocking the men.
Thank you ever so much and that’s an interesting point. But do you feel the actions of the poltergeist, if that’s what it was, reflected those values? I wonder? 🙋♀️👻🙏
Absolutely brilliant I had never heard of this case but it truly is fascinating.
The more I learn about these reports the more I believe that there has to be something after this life. I think if you were a researcher going into this situation you could not allow any fear to override your entire reason for being there.
Most people would be out of there like a rocket, which I completely understand, but to approach it purely scientifically and find the evidence you are looking for must be exhilarating.
This is one of if not the strongest cases for the existence of Poltergeists I have heard.
Well done as always for finding this account for us.
Thank you again for another wonder insight. ❤
Thank you ever so much! When I read about this case, I honestly thought ‘people at an allotment. What’s the worst that can happen?’ and then I read up and thought WOW! These guys really suffered some bizarre events! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and lots more to come for sure, my friend! 👻🙋♀️🙏
How devastating it must be to be a victim of a poltergeist. One's heart has to go out to them.
Never heard of this haunting 🤔strange that it was on an allotment as I don’t think I’ve heard of a garden shed being haunted and would have thought as it was a quiet pastime the spirits wouldn’t object , very odd ! Ace spooky Sunday vid thanks Nicola 😊
So glad you enjoyed the video Vez! Thank you so much 👻🙋♀️🙏
Hi Nicola what a great video as always....I never heard of this case before but it's fascinating. Excellently researched and presented as always 👏 👍. Thanks for posting another outstanding episode ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you ever so much. It is a perplexing story and my parents have an allotment but their shed isn’t haunted! 🙋♀️👻🙏
I live in Bromley. Not heard of this one and I’ve read and heard of many. Great stuff 😊
Thank you! It is a bit of an odd story for sure. 👻🙋♀️
This is the first poltergeist I've ever heard of that didn't involve someone going through puberty, or about to. What a mystery to sleep on! I'm with you: one of those old gents had some unresolved rage other frustrated emotion.Too tired to start a movie, I thought "I feel like a Ghost Casebook"... and here you are, just the ticket. Thanks.
Oh wow thank you ever so much! You are very kind! It is an unusual case for sure and I only found it recently. I agree, it is odd that it focused on pensioners rather than a young person 👻🙋♀️🙏
Superb as always enjoying listening with a beer after sunday tea 👍
Enjoy! Thank you ever so much and hope your Sunday tea was nice! 👻🙋♀️🙏
I love videos - they are so professionally done and far better than any program you see on the tv. I am a Londoner and I have never heard of this case which I find much more interesting than the Enfield Poltergeist which I always felt was a bit iffy. This one sounds much more fact based and I am surprised that a film wasnt made of it. I think sometimes our energy fields are enormously strong when we are in a state of high emotion and this can affect surrounding objects. I looked after my niece for a while during her parents divorce, she was very young but amazingly aware of what was happening with her parents. Every time she stayed pictures would fall - not just fall but end up in the middle of the room. We actually witnessed this happening on several occasions. That doesn't seem to be the case with this story because the men, all elderly would be more in control of their emotions. I agree that they would have no benefit in lying as they worked to set up their shop and would not have frightened their customers away. I feel particularly sorry for Taylor who obviously had an attachment and couldnt seem to get any peace from it. Anyway, thanks so much for a great video of such a fascinating story.
You are very welcome and I am so glad you found the video interesting. It is an unusual case for sure and I agree those poor old chaps must have been pretty broken with all of those bizarre events. I thought the story about your niece was interesting. Did the events connected to her stop as she grew up and things settled down? Thank you kindly again 🙋♀️👻🙏
Great vid. Excellent research. I’m somewhat surprised and confused as to why you don’t have a much higher subscriber count. Your narration is superb. Thank you. 👏🏽👏🏽🌹
Thank you ever so much and glad you enjoyed the video. Well, the channel is growing even if it is a bit slow, but I’m grateful always 🙋♀️👻
Just had to comment on this video. Ive lived around this area for most of my life and had honestly never heard of this case, so thank you for covering it , So interesting. I do enjoy all your videos. Looking forward to this year and hope your subscriptions increase you deserve it .
Thanks for sharing and yes it is a very interesting and little known case. It is like something from a horror film really! Thank you for your kind words and I do hope 2024 is going to be a great year for the channel 👻🙋♀️🙏
I did know of this case and have visited what is left of the "guild site" in Downham, the allotments are now a public park, but one of the sheds remains, the rest have had new housing built on the land. I couldn't find any garages nearby though it is very close to the site of the dividing wall that was erected across the road to stop the inhabitants of the new council estate travelling through the posher 1930s and older housing to get to Bromley town centre quicker. This wall caused great tension in the area at the time between the private house owners to the South and the new Downham Council estate residents. I have also seen a booklet on this story in the local studies section of Bromley Central Library. Also I believe the 2 SPR members who were assigned to this case developed a relationship during their investigation and were married at a later date.
Hi Tony and thank you ever so much for this wonderful comment. That’s so interesting that there was tension between the residents; Very interesting. I didn’t know that about the investigators; a malevolent poltergeist acts as a matchmaker ha ha! Thank you ever so much again. 🙋♀️👻🙏
Such an interesting case, one that I’ve never heard of. You said that they had been building garages nearby, maybe with them building they had disturbed something. It could have been that because these men were working nearby in the allotment they were the focus of the poltergeist, just a thought. Brilliant video as always. 🙂
Yes one of the witnesses said that the garage building, once concluded, caused the incidents to stop so perhaps there’s a link! Glad you enjoyed it for sure! 🙋♀️👻🙏
Crikey it must’ve been absolutely frightening for them , pity they didn’t get a medium in , strange why it suddenly stopped , awful for them it was
I know! My parents have an allotment but their shed isn’t haunted, thankfully! 👻🙋♀️
As someone already said why not ask who they are and maybe get an answer. Neither do you hear them say please leave us/ me alone . I don't have any answers to what starts Poltergeist hauntings . Very interesting content thank you for sharing it
You’re welcome and I am so glad you found it interesting. It is a bizarre case for sure !👻🙋♀️
Brilliant nicola, really interesting video, think the poltergeist must have been in Taylors bedroom,see the nick of it, anyhoo really bad stuff happening, first time I've heard of people getting injured, never heard of this story before, fascinating stuff,well done spooky girl, loved it,👍
Thank you so much Robert. I thought for a while ‘who wants to hear about a haunted allotment?’ but then I found out about the events and I thought good grief! Those are some extreme events! It is not well known and it was interesting that the society for psychical research, when I asked them, know exactly about this case, so fingers crossed we will get some more details! 👻🙋♀️😳
What a fascinating case! The Bromley presence begs an extended mythology, wonder what those years and names mean?
Yes it is a bizarre case! I hope I’ll hear from the society for psychical research and if I do I will report back for sure! 👻🙋♀️🙏
The Bromley case is interesting indeed - thank you for it and for quoting the lovely Ciaran as well as my favourite ghost exploration author- Mr Peter Underwood 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you ever so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the video for sure 👻🙏🙋♀️
Never heard of this before, very spooky where an iten hit the ceiling.
Thats supernatural,no gravity.
Very good video,looking forward to an update.
Thank you very much. There were just so many incidents! 👻🙋♀️😳
This was so engaging. An amazing piece of research and delivery. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you ever so much 👻🙏🙋♀️
Very interesting case. Totally believe it’s possible. Poor men. Glad it stopped when it did. Would love more of these plus your usual stories. Become a big fan. 🦋
More to come! I’m glad you enjoyed this one! It is a bizarre case for sure! 🙋♀️👻🙏
Thankyou for this love the stories
Glad you like them! Thank you Sue! It is a bizarre story for sure! 🙋♀️👻
Looking forward to this 👌🏻
Hope you like it! 🙋♀️👻
Catching up an all the wonderful stories today😊. Poltergeist experiences are very startling to say the least. Ive had a few myself.
Oh wow! That sounds scary! 👻😳
Heys, wow your voice sure matches the spooky vibes, in a good way ha.
I think it's definitely linked to what was on the land before the allotments and sounds like the spirits were angry of the work getting done, hence it stopping when the work stopped.
Your brill 'digging'(excuse the pun) for more information. Very good watch, thankyou. Happy 2024! for you.
Thank you ever so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s an odd case though! Creepy 👻🙋♀️🙏
Is there a waterway near by? The only good part is the cross appears properly presented, NOT upside down.
I have just come across your channel and this outstanding video about the elusive Bromley Poltergeist. I will be emailing you shortly with some additional information. Impressive presentation and this is how it should be done. Kind regards Tony Hayes PI UK
Thank you so much Tony, I appreciate this so much 🙋♀️🙏👻
And yes, 1659 could be a date.
Love the paranormal. CZcams suggested this video. So glad . I shall watch more of your work. Thanks.
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you’ll enjoy the videos. I haven’t been going that long, only since the Autumn of 2022 really. I hope you enjoy the channnel 👻🙋♀️🙏
Nice clear narration. There's more to Heaven and Earth, than man ever dreamt of.
Thank you very much 👻🙋♀️🙏
I really enjoyed the video and I lived just along the road from Bromley, I have a theory that poltergeist activity is simply a case of kinetic energy but we don’t understand enough about it it just seems incredibly complex and disturbing..😮
Thank you ever so much! I really want to try and find out what was on the land before the surgeon’s summer house but I don’t know where to begin! it is a baffling incident and imagine having a garden fork thrown at you?! Scary! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Strangely enough, I did see a video of this long ago, it seemed like an episode in a series because there were actors. I think some attention was given to the boy and the coin showers. Now seeing the actual victims makes it so much stranger and so much worse. There's nothing much more frightening than inanimate things moving on their own. Excellent and thorough account, with great empathy for the victims.
Since the activity stopped after the completion of the car park, it is logical to think that the car park site is the source. Maybe there is a body under the car park. The vibrations of the car park construction has disturbed then sprit and it’s very angry. The three men and the garden store were just the closest location that the sprit took out it’s anger. Why not take out it’s anger on the car park construction crew? Who knows.
Yes I don’t know the site but it seems that some garages were being built nearby by that could have disturbed something. I hope I’ll get some more answers from the society for psychical research in time. 👻🙋♀️🙏
Very interesting. I had never heard of this before. Seems very odd this was occurring in a gardening shed. I wonder if something bad
happened in that area?
Could be and I agree it is a very odd one! My parents have an allotment but thankfully, it’s not haunted! 👻🙋♀️
They just amazing
Can’t enough of them story’s story are scary very well told as always thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! Thank you Carol 👻🙏
Further to this, the famous 'Pete' Cardiff Poltergeist was alleged to haunt a small backstreet automobile repair centre called Mower Services. During the 1980s. -The men and the lady working there were middle aged and older. It messed about with keys, showered them with nuts, bolts and often money, but never with malice.
Yes indeed! I am from Cardiff and this story is a very odd one! Thank you so much 👻🙋♀️🙏
Your great, brilliant research and information, coins are strange I was walking on a path in Bristol feeling down with no money and I suddenly felt a thump in my hand I looked and it was a pound coin,then I heard my grandad,who had recently passed away and he said:pennies from heaven son,he always called me son as my father was never around, I kept that coin for years,thank you for your hard work, you sound like my kind of person xxx
Wow what an interesting story and how fascinating! I love this connection with your grandfather and that coin sounds special. The ghost of Brighton, near the end, has a story about a chef and coins if I remember rightly! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Bought tears to my eyes, yes those things do happen. Delia Morris
I had never heard of this haunting before. I feel really sorry for the elderly gentleman just trying to tend their allotments. They must have been extremely traumatised by the experience.
It seems an unusual setting for this type of paranormal phenomenon. But it has an authentic ring to it. Fascinating and very well presented. Thank you.
Thank you ever so much. I felt sorry for them too. It is an odd location. You are very kind 👻🙋♀️
Just discovered your channel. Excellent research and very interesting. Thank you!
Welcome! Thank you very much indeed 👻🙋♀️🙏
Thank you so much for the time you've taken to make this video. I have heard of this case before, and the face in the fertiliser, but not the rest of the story. A lot of very interesting detail. I wonder if you would consider covering another often overlooked but significant case please; that of the 1981 Bournemouth poltergeist. Thank you again and you also have a new subscriber.
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m not sure I know of the Bournemouth poltergeist off hand so I’d have to look in to that. If you have some details to help me,feel free to email me at gcasebook@gmail.com if you’d like and I will definitely have a look. Welcome to the channel and thank you so much! 👻🙏🙋♀️
Interesting case, never heard of it. I am always amazed how some people can never accept that these things happen. Having experienced some myself I can assure sceptics that weird events do occur.
It is a bit of a mad case with a catalogue of incidents. Thise men must have been scared! Thank you for your comment 👻🙋♀️
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Subscribed!
A very low-key and rational appraisal of this very strange case. Excellent!
By the way, I'm going to my allotment this afternoon... 😳😁
Oh thank you ever so much Steven! Welcome to the channel. I hope your allotment shed isn’t haunted! 👻🙋♀️🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 My pleasure.
Well, I can never find anything in my shed, even though I'm the one who puts things in there. But for some reason my wife doesn't believe me when I try and blame it on the paranormal - she's obviously one of those hard-nosed sceptics... 😁
Excellent work. Well researched, beautifully written, delivered with perfect articulation.
Oh, and the production is top notch.
You’ve done very well 👏👏👏
Very enjoyable, quality work.
Wow, thank you! You are very kind! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos Lisa 👻🙋♀️
What a great post.Your research is brilliant.
Thank you kindly! It is a baffling case isn’t it? Can you imagine having a garden fork thrown at you? Scary! 🙋♀️👻🙏😳
Also, it would be wise to research the spiritual meaning of number 1659.
Do you know if it holds any significance? I have no idea 👻🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266I did google spiritual meaning of 1659. It seems it’s an Angel number. This story is what by negative/dark energy being out there.
@@ghostcasebook1266Were the crosses right side up or upside down?
@@ccasey1904aren't there good angels and bad angels, except we call the bad ones "demons".
In the year 1659, in England, Oliver Cromwell's son gave up the role as Lord Protector and Charles Stuart became Charles the second. The monarchy was restored, so possibly that a spirit who wanted the puritans to be in power? 1659 is also an angelic number that means healing and self care.
Fascinating case ! Too many things were witnessed by multiple people for it to have been a hoax, Happy 2024 !
Thank you so much and I appreciate your thoughts on this. It’s a bizarre case! 🙋♀️👻🙏
I've just found your channel, and I'm really enjoying your video's.
Welcome aboard! Thank you ever so much and I hope you’ll enjoy the other videos too 👻🙋♀️🙏
great upload and great find. Never heard of this case before
I only heard of it recently and when I looked into it I was amazed! It was a series of terrible events that didn’t receive any press coverage and that is an interesting aspect to the case. I hope I hear back from the society for psychical research and I will report back if I gather new information! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Absolutely brilliant your videos are so detailed and I have always been interested in ghosts and your narration is so good please keep up the fantastic work you do very best wishes from Steven in London
Thank you so much! Steven in London you are very welcome and there’s lots more to come! You are very kind 👻🙏🙏
I think the key to this is "it stopped when work on the garages finished. "
Yes, I wonder how significant this is too. Thank you 👻🙋♀️🙏
Did something happen in 1659 in the area? Maybe when the construction was going on it stirred things up. 😮😮😮
I am trying to find out but all I could find was that the area was a garden to a surgeon from 1780 - 1800 but that’s about all so far! 👻🙋♀️
Really impressed with your professional, open minded and intelligent consideration of this subject. I have been studying the paranormal since I was a child and had never heard of this case so thank you for this. I will definitely be subscribing. My personal take on the issue is that I tend to subscribe to the view that the majority of poltergeist type cases are more to do with manifestations of the subconscious or aspects of the psyche the person is (for whatever reason), unable to express. We likely know very little of the true capabilities of the human mind; it is the most complex machine in the known universe. That being said, I do not rule out the possibility of communication from discarnate entities be they departed loved ones or any form of spiritual being. I think its very important to always remember that most things in life (and beyond), are rarely ever caused by one thing. It is usually more complex than that.
Thank you ever so much! This is really interesting and I appreciate your time to comment. I am learning all the time and I do think it is important to look at the rational and logical side of things before just labelling it as paranormal, I suppose. I’m trying to learn about the research but it is a complex subject, so I’ll just try my best! 🙋♀️👻🙏
great story and presentation; i've never heard of this one before.
Glad you enjoyed it and I didn’t know it until I really started to to uncover snippets of information to be honest. 👻🙋♀️🙏
Very strange case, so many witnesses and such an odd location. I am intrigued by the name of the dead friend being written down, is there a connection there?
I hope the society for psychical research might shed light on this as I don’t know the actual name given so I can’t research it, but maybe they will know. 👻🙋♀️🙏
Wonderful coverage!!!!!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it! 👻🙋♀️
Your video took me back to my childhood years living in a 3 up 3down family home in Coventry, we had a tesident Poltergeist which seemed to live in the back room and make a lot of noise, my father told both myself and my brother and sister that it was the noisy lodger, I was about 12 at the time and my siblings where younger. As I got older and reached age 21 my father told me the truth and that he put a hasp and staple on the back room door, not so much to stop the entity getting out but to prevent us kids getting in, there is much more to this experience.
Wow that sounds rather scary to be honest! Goodness me and your dad was trying hard to keep you from being scared, I suppose. Did it stop abruptly? I wonder what that may have been and thank you for sharing 🙏🙋♀️👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 We where taken to my Nans for 3 days and my Catholic father told me that he got the church involved and two Priests came to the house and stayed over night to perform a ritual. Shortly after this we all returned to the house and it smelled of roses, that smell has stayed with me all my life and I am 70 years old now. The house is still there and as far as I know, is peaceful.
@@ghostcasebook1266 In answer to your question, the entity was resident for 10 mths and we where told by the priests that it was the spirit of a man who took his own life
Its an experience I will never forget, but my father had the forethought to say it was a lodger, can you imagine our terror as young kids if he told us the truth?.
Great presentation. Very interesting. I've seen objects move across a table. I have Never experienced a poltergeist. Educational. Thanks. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you kindly 🙋♀️👻🙏
❤❤ Happy New Year. Love your videos. Sending Love from Brooklyn NY.
Thank you ever so much and happy new year to you my friend! 🙋♀️👻
I hadn't heard of the Bromley Poltergeist. I didn't think much happened in Bromley...well was I wrong. Thanks Nicola for more great history and I'll catch u in the next one. 🇦🇺👻🇦🇺🇬🇧😎♥️
I hadn’t heard of it until just recently but I thought I had to cover it. Unlike a lot of my videos where there’s a lot of history, in this video there’s a lot of incidents so I thought it would be a good case! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Thanks for this, it totally blows a hole in the theory that all poltergeists are tied to teenage hormonal imbalance. Some even say they project frustration and it manifests physically. That certainly doesn't track with a bunch of lovely old codgers running a gardening shop.
It sounds to me like something was displaced by the nearby construction. It may not have gotten the press because it did blow away ALL the hypothesis made about poltergeists. The parapsychologists didn't want to run to the press and say we're bloody idiots we've got this all wrong.
Yes it’s an unusual one and I felt rather bad for the chaps to be honest. What a lot of frightening things to happen to elderly people! I agree, an unusual case for sure! 👻🙋♀️🙏
OK I think it was a deceased person with an attachment to the allotment. He felt the men esp Elmsley were involved in plans for the allotment he did not agree with the building of... the garages, perhaps that had been his work area. Delia Morris
It's suspicious that it stopped when the works finished on the garages you mentioned. It could have been some daft sausages from the building site playing pranks on people.
Happy to find this channel!
Glad you enjoy it! Welcome to the channel and thank you kindly 👻🙋♀️🙏
Thank you for your video which I felt was very well researched and presented. While I'm sceptical about paranormal phenomena in general, I've experienced some things I can't explain.
The Bromley polt you have provided certainly shows (in my opinion) that there was no hoax. The fact that the phenomena ceased when the work on the new block of garages finished, leads me to ask whether your research showed that the garages were also on the land formerly Lettsome's gardens? Another question for you - looking at Wikipedia the details for Dr John Lettsome mention that he had a villa in Camberwell (not Bromley which appears to be quite some way away!) which was demolished when the estate was broken up in the early 1800s. It goes on to say that only one cottage built on the land remains: 'The Hermitage' (number 220) which survives, at the junction with Grove Hill Road.
Finally, I wondered if the Lettsome villa had been built on a plague pit but, having viewed the interactive plague pit map, it would appear that the only plague pits south of the Thames (around that area) were at Southwark/Elephant & Castle, Gipsy Hill and Greenwich which discounts that theory. I have liked and subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! Thank you for subscribing! I don’t know much about the land and the surgeon’s garden but it could have been a plague pit or a graveyard maybe? I do hope I’ll hear from the society for psychical research as they may have looked into this or if someone watching knows about the history of the land. If I find out more I’ll update you! I appreciate your kind words and I love that you’ve shared your thoughts on the case! This is great. It is a bizarre case! 🙋♀️👻🙏
I've had experiences. One time I went to the kitchen to get a snack, and came back to the living room to consume the snack only to realise I'd left my coffee in the kitchen. When I came back from retrieving my coffee, the snack was gone. No crumbs, nothing.... I asked the dog but he assured me he was on a strict carnivore diet. I can't explain it....
I love this! Amazing 👻😆🤭
@@ghostcasebook1266 thanks for taking it in the way it was ment 😁 I really enjoyed your video
