Today on The Grave Talks, The Haunted War Zone, a conversation with John Paul Newland.

When you grow up in multiple war zones, you end up becoming rather numb to the idea of death and mortality.

John Paul Newland was one such child. As a young man, he witnessed a woman standing in his garden,

purchasing oranges, the only problem with the woman purchasing oranges. There was no market,

there were no oranges, and there shouldn't have been a woman presence in the garden that day.

This would be far from the only spirit he would encounter. Today we hear his story and the grave

talks. Four years ago, I actually took it up properly. I started to get properly interested in it,

but as a child, I unfortunately, my father and my mother are both ex-forces, and I took up a very

morbid imagination as a child, and over the years, I've witnessed multiple things that a child

should never have seen. Via war, gang war violence, I've seen multiple murders as a child.

I've seen a lot of dead bodies, basically, and it fascinated me. I always thought I had to

be more to live. When I was about seven or eight-year-old, my father was in the RAF.

It was in the back garden, taking your picture. It got it back. It was fully developed,

and through fire, one of those little codec cameras came back, and there was a woman in the back

of our garden, buying oranges. There was a shopping, there was basically a market running through

all these RAF houses, gardens, one way through the bottom. There was a massive market. The lady

wasn't even there, and I questioned from that day onwards, there has to be more to life

than just this. My theory of it always, this is like a test to see where you go next in life.

So, let me try and understand this. You saw this woman buying oranges now.

You look like oranges, yeah. Now this market, did the market exist in your time?

No. So it's like in the past, you were seeing where a market used to be, essentially.

Yeah, basically. It looked like another time.
