Ghosts of London Twitter page, Gary, spoke to THE END about his most recent
encounter with the paranormal.

How did you first get
interested in the paranormal?
“I’ve been dealing with paranormal entities since I had a
near death experience aged 2. I had the last rights read and wasn’t expected to
make it through the night. However, I awoke from a coma and since then I’ve
been tuned in to the spirit world. I don’t fear them no matter what I’m
confronted with I really don’t find them a threat.”
Have you ever had a
particularly memorable or life-altering experience with the paranormal?
“The closest I can say to being anywhere near scared was
around 6 years ago.
“My wife and I were in Brussels on a long weekend away. We
visited a bar called Delirium in Belgium. It’s a place we love as it’s just so
full of life and characters. I enjoy a beer but I never exceed two as I’m a
type 1 diabetic so getting drunk is never an option for me.
“Anyhow.... We both sat there chatting and enjoying some
freshly baked bread and cheese with a beer and I caught the eye of a black
gentleman. He was in his mid 40’s wearing what looked like a pork pie hat on
his head. He was standing behind the bar just where the bar flap was. He stood
there looking directly at me almost scowling it seemed I genuinely thought I’d
upset him.”
It was indicated that the bar flap was to the left of the man taking off his striped jumper in the main image.
“Time went on and he continued to stare and now I felt
uncomfortable. Then he murmured something I could clearly see him do it but
obviously I couldn’t hear him.
“I said to my wife, ‘I have upset the barman’ and she turned
to look.
“She said ‘What one?’
“I said ‘The black fella with the hat on’.
“She said ‘I can’t see him; where? There’s only a white guy
and girl there’.
“I didn’t want to point as I thought it might aggravate the
situation. So left it and tried not to look although I could still see him out
of the corner of my eye.
“Time rolled on and then I saw the gentleman get more
animated. He was shouting at me but I couldn’t hear him nothing was heard by me
but he seemed quite angry. Then all of a sudden it really happened so fast he
came charging at me. I really can’t say if he walked through the counter as all
I knew was he was right in front of my face. I honestly thought we were going
to fight and I fell back off my stool in a packed bar.
“I realised that I’d seen a spirit but although I had before
this spirit was very solid almost enough to convince me he was alive.”
