      The blue children just had a vitamin deficiency or too much of something. Can’t recall. It would be a very short story with a very long filler of Ballen’s damn frog thing.
      Edit: I was corrected. This is the Blue Fugates (genetic mutation from inbreeding). I was thinking of Suffolk’s “Green Children.”

  • @sandyposs2693

    Fantastic story! The only correction I would add is that this is not the only case where a person has literally died of fright. Dying of fright is actually a well-established phenomenon that has happened to many people. It's when a big enough surge of fear causes the brain to release a flood of adrenaline, which in high enough amounts causes cardiac arrest.

      There was a white woman a few years ago that “died of fright” when she tried to use voodoo to target her black best friend. It was a very popular story at the time because her Twitter account was still active and she showed a picture of the voodoo doll she used just a few days before dying.

      The floor at the top of the stairs is not the ground. Not even the ground floor of a building is the ground. It's still a floor. Sure, the ground and the floor are synonymous with each other, but there is also a distinction. I'll accept it as the ground, but if you go higher up, say, the second story, there is no ground, only floor. I am in the flooring business. That's why I take it so seriously. It's not enough to make me unsubscribe, but it could do the storytelling some good to increase vocabulary and use more distinct words.

    I love all your stories - I'd listen to you read the phone book - but the ghost/paranormal ones are my very favourite. Closely followed by stories of people who have gone missing in forests or national parks under mysterious circumstances. Thank you for putting so much effort and passion into your work; you're helping to revive the lost (and tricky) art of oral storytelling! (Also, I love that you feel free to be goofy from time to time - I think it nicely complements your darker material.)

Your speech is so clean, in a way that there are absolutely no "eeeh"s or "mmm"s or similar extra sounds while talking (since English is not my native language I don't actually know a word for those phrases during speech - if someone knows please enlighten me) and that is a rare to hear. Even if that is only a good preparation, it is highly commendable, and I admire you for that. Well, anyway, I wish you a happy new year and great health in many years to come.

      Please do find out. Now im interested. Mr Ballen didn't explain the story fully. Apparently, the ghost did talk to Ward. The spirit told her it was the restless soul of Elizabeth Johnson, murdered by her nephew, William Dawson, on 26 March 1722 and buried deep beneath the cellar "watery grave". The final message was, "The garret and the cellar are now marked with my blood."
      Had to do some real digging to find the report. Mr Ballen left alot of things in this story.

      @@livealittle1100 I’m even more interested myself now you’ve told me all that . There are 2 excellent books by the same author. A ghost hunters guild to Sheffield 1 and 2 . Im wounding now if it’s in one of these books and I just can’t remember it . I used to have both but I lent them out and never got them back and as they are old books I believe they are no longer available. Amozon here I come , you just never know

      Nice to know there’s a few people on here from Sheffield! Born and raised in Sheffield 8. I didn’t know of this story and it’s sick knowing mr ballen has covered a story so close to home

    I may have said this before, but I very much appreciate that you identify clearly what IS and what IS NOT a real photo from the story you are telling.
