As someone firmly rooted in science I do find it hard to buy into the idea of ghosts and other paranormal anomalies. Still, I remain open minded and what we call ghosts may be a real thing but something else entirely. Anyway I was travelling through England a few months back and stopped at Owston Hall for the night. The hotel was nice and I cant fault the staff. However my night there was certainly odd and I wouldn't have though twice about it if my wife had not mentioned her experience the next day in the car. My wife was sleeping with my son in one of the doubles and myself on the other. As we initially went to bed I could feel a sort of unease and like there was a small presence at the bottom of my bed. Tired I shrugged and went to sleep. A few hours later in the middle of the night I awoke to sense an unnerving feeling of a great evil presence hovering above the area roughly where the other bed was (this is not something I experience anywhere else), I could almost make out the shape of something but it was huge and towering above the room. I went back to sleep assuming my imagination was just running wild and I tried to ignore the scary feeling. The next day my wife tells me in the car that she had an awful sleep and that it felt like something was pressing down on her in the middle of the night. She awoke to find the covers at the bottom of the bed and when she tried to pull them back up she felt a lot of resistance despite previously pulling them out from under the mattress. When I told her my experience we both felt this was more than just a coincidence and had a look online for any details of the hotel being haunted. There isnt much but trip advisor does have a review from a few months earlier of a man claiming to have met a man on multiple occasions who was probably not real.
Gosh that's quite a creepy story - thanks for sharing. I personally haven't heard about hauntings at Owston Hall, but it sounds like something quite dark is happening there...would be interesting to hear if any other guests have had a similar experience (other than the Tripadvisor reviewer)!
I have relations in Sunny Donny. Not been for a long time, 50 years? We are a military and Mining family so have links to coal mining areas of Scotland, Kernow/Cornwall and Northern England and Scottish and English barracks. It's said one of my ancient ancestors was seen to play his pipes on the battlements of St. George's Fort - once home of the Black Watch for whom many of the family have served, it has been our tradition since the forming of the 51st Highland Division and the Black Watch in 1725. but the clan are from the Outer Hebrides - you could say 'there can be only one'.
Thank you so much. I had this to watch previously. My home town☺
You're welcome - thanks for watching 😀
“And it’s not just the living that choose to hang around in Doncaster…..” The humour in that comment is not lost on Donny’s residents.
Good 😁 Donny folk have a great sense of humour!
