I ruined the ghost hunt

I was away last week staying in a castle. Supposedly a very haunted castle but I don’t believe in shit like that, I just like history.

Anyway during the night there was a paranormal investigation going on. I had to walk through the castle on my own to retrieve something from the car and as I walked through one room these guys were surrounding a door recording it and had all their equipment set up around it etc. I needed to get through it. I held back a bit (this was 10pm at night and I was tired, wanting to go to bed). Anyway the door moved slightly and they all got excited. I seriously just needed to get to my car so pointed out that this particular door always moves due to the draught coming up the stairs. Well they all looked daggers at me and asked what I was doing there!! I said I needed to get through the door! So they huffed ans puffed and moved all their shit and the leader said they would have to start again due to interference. I went through, got the stuff out of my car and made my way back through the castle. Unfortunately they had set all their stuff up again. I went through the door and set all the alarms off and they got angry and one said “let’s move to a different area, this is ridiculous”. I didn’t say anything, just headed back to my apartment.

Later that night I opened the bedroom window and instantly was hit with torches in my face. They had got excited due to “movement” from a “haunted room”. I got annoyed, went down to where they were and asked how much longer this would be going on. They said all night. So I told them where I was staying, pointed to the windows and said any movement from these rooms is just me walking around. They were not friendly. As I was speaking one started shrieking about a chandelier swinging in another room and they all went running. I went with them and pointed out the big fuck off fireplace that would inevitably cause a draught going through the room causing anything “hanging” to move. I was then told to “go away!” And was told I was ruining a night that had been planned for months. I told them they were ruining my night that had been planned for months too.
Who was being unreasonable?

nopuppiesallowed · 24/10/2021 17:31

I know I'm a bad person, but am not sure I could have resisted the temptation to put on a pair of roller skates, drape a long sheet over my body and glide past the lot of them making Woo noises....

cherish123 · 24/10/2021 17:42

They are being ridiculous. You paid to stay in the castle. You were quite right with your retort.

LadyMuckington · 24/10/2021 17:44

Everything you did was reasonable until this. You were deliberately being horrible here

StargazerAli · 24/10/2021 17:48

Well, you spoiled the fun but made us laugh, so I'm on the fence with this one 😂

Grapewrath · 24/10/2021 17:57

I hope this is bullshit because you sound like a total bore if not.

And they paid to be in the castle too. Point?

I think OP is a ghost! they've ghosted this thread anyway Grin

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 24/10/2021 18:17

You should have said 'I've lived here for 500 years and never seen a ghost'

BigYellowHat · 24/10/2021 18:17

YABU. DH and I would have thought that was hilarious and probably would have joined in.

Have you logged it with 101?

PurpleIndigoViolet · 24/10/2021 18:29

Grin Personally, I love what you did OP. Can I give you the addresses of some churches to visit?!

Didn't happen, get a life
Ahem.. an afterlife
LoverOfAllThingsPurple · 24/10/2021 19:19

They weren’t being considerate about other people staying in the hotel. You also weren’t very nice spoiling their silly fun. However, I don’t understand how they just couldn’t stay away from where there were actual hotel guests staying.

Duchess379 · 24/10/2021 19:23

You should have covered yourself in a white sheet for maximum effect 😆

MyrtlethePurpleTurtle · 24/10/2021 19:26

@Totallydefeated

You were not unreasonable to get stuff from your car.

You were very unreasonable to piss on their chips. Are you always a fun sponge?

This!

In on the fence with ghosts, I would like to believe in energy beings, think the ascended ancients from Stargate, however if they were intrigued with their research and yes you could argue logically it's the wind ect, but in Sam and dean style, if I see or feel strange things going on, I'm taking comfort in a tub of salt, yes it may be all fairy stories, but sometimes you just can never be too sure at times.
Hawkins001 · 24/10/2021 19:36

My best freind go hunting the paranormal weekly.not my thing like you I'm interested in history but I respect her beliefs.
Their were unresbell to expect geust not to be moving around the building,but I would have trered to stay out off their way live and let live lol.
I have a respect for oeopal that want to explore the paranormal ,it not for me neither belive or disbelieve, but it not something I would want to get involved with because the truth is I I can't say for certain it dosont exists, I know many peop who have had paranormal experiences just hasn't hapoen to me.
But let other do what they want
