Hi guys this is my first time writing so help me out? i'm 16 and have had many paranormal experiences as of a few of my friends in the past, including seeing a "monk" in the old church yard off broad street, i was wondering if anyone from crewe and the area around it would like to share their experiences as i'm hoping to write a book on ghosts and paranormal experiences on crewe and the area around here.

many thanks

p.s i'll post other experiences i've had all of which are 100% genuine if anyone's interested

well, a lot of these accounts have been in the church yard funilly enough, (me and my friends see ourselves as some amatuar ghost hunters)

anywho... once while walking my ex home past the churchyard (middle of winter and a bit foggy may be accounted) we both saw a strange "thing" hunched over under a tree in the distance of the church yard it was in red(god knows what it was but it shook me up)

another at the church yard was what appeared to be mist in the shape of a woman hovering in the footpath in the church yard (middle of the summer last year very clear day)

this one constantyl happened, all of my friends were uneasy and wouldn't sleep in my room if this certain mirror wasn't covered up (you'd useually see stuff in the corner of your eye in it) but thankfully i got rid of the mirror now.

i'd also like to add one night while staying at my friend shauns. me and my other friend scott couldn't sleep while shaun was flat out (this is like 3 in the morning) we knew shauns house has an eary atmosphere and we've felt uneasy their before, so for some reason we decided to record some audio on my friend scotts phone, firsty this isn't possible and i can't think of an explanation for it, when we tried at first scotts phone got "thrown" off the bedside table and the battery came out somehow :S (this was a phone where the back locked in, not sure what type) anyway we were cacking oursleves and hid under the covers. quickly we recovered the phone and tried to record again, on the third attempt of recording audio we got quite a bit of white noise and the sound of a little girl what appeared to be saying "teddy teddy i want my teddy" there's no explanation for this as shauns little sister was staying at her nans and me shaun and scott were the only ones in.

me and another friend brad also once saw in the middle of the night (it started as brad pointing something out in the corner waking me up, for some reason it didn't move it just stayed there and faded out) which appeared to be a little girl in the corner of shauns bedroom in front of the wardrobe, perhaps this is the same little girl as heard on the recording but i have no idea, there's a a complete eary atmosphere to the house.

sorry if that was a little long winded, all the things i've mentioned are 100% genuine experiences.

they're just a few things off the top of my head what stood out

ah another thing, my friend scott now lives in winbury(nantwich) at his new house a heavy old fashioned candle stick was thrown across the room with no explantion (he just reminded me of this)

I hadn't heard of any hauntings in this particular churchyard before.

(However, a young gentleman of my acquaintance once 'kidnapped' the almost full-sized figure of Jesus from a crucifix there, for a laugh. Rolling Eyes

It was recovered by the police after a tip-off, being found reclining on Mr X's sofa, with a fag in one hand and a can of lager in the other.)

The cemetery is across the road from the church, as you'll know, making the area that much more spooky. I used to tell my kids, 'it has a big wall round it, because people are dying to get in!'

erm, are we talking about the same church yard? (this is saint michaels the church and the graves are all in one grounds) 1 quite famous ghost story from the church yard is that of brigit bostock (spelt like that?)(the white which) but that story doesn't perticularly make sense as she wasn't from crewe, but there are quite a few graves in there with bostock on so that might account for something.

As your friend Scott was present (or associated with) both the flying objects incidents you've listed, is it possible he has some sort of telekinetic ability that he is not even aware of??

Are you talking about the big, main Crewe Cemetary and Crematorium, or the Coppenhall Cemetary, with the church with the green spire...or am I completely lost..?

And to think that I was about to go out and take photos! Laughing

There is a famous gravestone there, of two brothers who died at sea in the war as sailors on the same ship. After that, siblings were not allowed to serve on a ship together.

So I've read today - not had chance for a good poke around there or Crewe cem. tbh. Unusual for me cos I can normally be found nosing round any old graveyard that comes within range. Not been in the church yet either!

The part of the cemetery closest to the crematorium building, on the side closer to your gaff, is the oldest, and there are some lovely old stones there. One is a large memorial to a young lad who died on the annual Sunday school outing. I keep meaning to look into that.

You can take some beautifully atmospheric snaps there. I have some beauties. (I do it respectfully though, not least because I have family buried there.)
