Deep in Central London, there’s a royal palace that has been at the centre of British history for almost 500 years… and according to dozens of witnesses, not all of its residents have left.

St James’s Palace is still an incredibly important place to the British monarchy, but below the pageantry, lies a 19th Century scandal that left one man dead, under deeply suspicious circumstances…

Ever since, people have reported unexplained presences in its corridors, but the paranormal activity doesn’t stop there. The surrounding royal park carries its own dark legends, and even next door in Clareence House, the current London home of King Charles and Queen Camilla, the ghost stories continue.

⚠ This story contains a brief mention of suicide. If you need to, please feel free to sit this one out and look after your mental health. 🖤

Each of these five ghost stories comes from a real school or library, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

In this week’s collection, something lingers behind in the empty school corridors, long after the last student has gone home. In Australia, did the previous owner of this library’s collection make his presence known to pass on a message from beyond the grave?

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

The Garrick’s Head pub and the Theatre Royal in the city of Bath have some interesting stories about a mysterious Grey Lady ghost, who has been seen on both sides of the building.

But she’s not the only one supposedly haunting this 18th-century, former mansion…

Ever since David was an infant, his life has been affected by the paranormal.

Each of these ghost stories comes from David and his family’s accounts of experiences that they couldn’t fully explain.

Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire is a stunning visitor attraction, where you can spend the day out admiring the Robert Adam architecture and 18th-century furnishings.

But the history of this sprawling estate is even more fascinating. It’s been owned by the Curzon family for almost 900 years… so it comes as no surprise that it’s picked up more than a few ghosts over the years.

Each of these nine ghost stories comes from firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

In this week’s collection, the memory of a long-gone building burrows itself into this witness’s memory. How did it get there, and why? In Jamaica, a tourist unknowingly upsets a ghostly resident, and one of the most infamous entities in Edinburgh Vaults makes its presence known… and is possibly even photographed.

RAF Scampton is famous for, amongst other things, being the World War 2 home of 617 Squadron, also known as the Dambusters.

But if the ghost stories are to be believed, there could be more than just its rich history lingering behind here…

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

In this week's collection, a family described being warned of a life-threatening disaster, while another case terrified home invaders so badly that they left empty-handed. All of these stories have one thing in common... something in the home was watching.

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