webfact Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 by Samantha Rose The owner of a grand, allegedly haunted mansion in northeast Thailand‘s Nakhon Phanom province came out to dispel rumours surrounding the house. The dilapidated building, belonging to the descendants of local nobility, garnered attention after it was reported to be worth millions. The owner has confirmed that the house has never been haunted and has never served as a repository for human ashes. Plans for refurbishment remain uncertain, though a number of offers, including one of 10 million Baht, have been made for the property. The owner asserts that individuals spreading false information should offer an apology or face legal consequences. Yesterday, local authorities in Nakhon Phanom provided an update on the case, stating that the large two-storey mansion, situated in Nakhon Phanom province, has gained attention due to ongoing rumours about its haunted status. The building’s owner, 64 year old Klin Melon Metula, a retired nurse, and her husband, 65 year old Chai Ratana Metula, a retired teacher, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the media’s portrayal of their property.

ubonr1971 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Theres a house in my province with similar reputation. Its actually prime land but has an old house on it. Ages ago a village guy said he saw a ghost near a tree and someone was killed there blah blah. Probably too much grog. Now the owner cannot sell it for many years. I thought about buying it and knocking it down and building a new house but the wife would not let me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the same home talked about in the article aren't those small jedi's used for keeping ashes in? Anyway just have a ceremony with lots of chanting to remove any evil spirits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This has been going on forever. If people find out someone died in your house, flat or condo, the price plummets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a recent visit to Koh Larn I stayed in the port area as it was much cheaper than the beaches. I was amazed at how many old derelict houses there were and was told they were inhabited by ghosts as people had died there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no rational explanation, we saw the pair seperately, but both saw the same thing. A young couple in 50s attire, arguing. They weren't see-through, and they weren't frightening. Also, some furniture in that room had been rearranged by morning. We stayed on, and only moved for unrelated reasons. It only happened once, on Valentine's Day night. No big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend told me that ghosts were "real". I told her there are no ghosts in my country and asked her if she knew why? She didn't. I told her because they can't swim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, my photo of collection of small stupas in a temple in Mandalay, Burma, all containing ashes.(pre latest coup) Edited April 24, 2023 by Burma Bill additional information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thais will shun any dwelling where someone has died, more so if the death was violent. Up the top of a hill in my GF's village, there is a quite palatial but neglected large house. Looks like it has been abandoned. I was driving past it with my GF one day, and wanted to stop for a closer look. My GF pleaded with me to drive on, saying the house had bad spirits. So I did.

I just can't find a rational explanation, here's the very odd thing, just like the WH staff who've seen Willie Lincoln, at the time it's not a WTF moment, our reaction at meeting a strange couple in our bedroom was a detached bemusement. Those who've never experienced the inexplicable can laugh, I don't care. ???? The Secret Service have seen Willie in the White House, and the US Navy now admit UFOs are real. Enough said. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
