Raised by the Spirits
 

By: anonymous

I have gone through most of my life experiencing weird or unexplainable
phenomenon's. I was told that I was bottle fed by a "ghost" when I was just
a newborn in my crib. Also, when I was little I used to get weekly visits
from a "ghost".
My aunt and I shared a bedroom with my mom and sometimes I would wake up in
the middle of the night to find a figure standing in the doorway. This
figure appeared to look like my mom, but when I looked across the room,
there would be my mom sleeping in her bed. When I called out her name, she
wouldn't respond and it terrified me. One time when the figure appeared in
the doorway, I got soo scared that I put my head under the covers only to
hear someone speak something right in my ear! I couldn't understand what was
being said, but it was a voice.  When I told my mom what happened, she would
just brush it off as a child with a wild imagination.  To this day, it still
gives me chills.
Back in 1991, I dated a guy from my High School, we were both Seniors. We
used to hang out at his parent's house a lot. His parent's had a three-story
home with a finished basement and loft. In the lower level of the house was
a bunch of antiques that his dad has collected and every time I walked
through this part of the house, I would get chills and sometimes it felt
like I was being watched. I will usually get chills and become very uneasy
when there is "something" around, and when I get this sense my guard goes up
and I am cautious of everything around me. Anyway, my boyfriend had his
bedroom in the basement of the house and in his bedroom was a small basement
window. He had built wood shudders to block out any light, and believe me,
when the lights went out you didn't know if your eyes were open or shut - it
was that dark! I used to stay the night at his house frequently and was
really uneasy about moving around the house without him. The room that gave
me the most tension was his room. I wouldn't let him leave me alone for a
minute, not even to go to the bathroom!
One night when we got ready for bed, the light went out and the door was
shut. Before falling asleep, I lay there looking around (even though I
couldn't see anything) and when I looked at the wall on my side of the bed,
there was a faded white figure in the middle of the wall. I looked at the
wall on my boyfriend's side of the bed to see if there was a reflection
coming through the window reflecting off of a mirror or something to explain
the white shadow - but there was nothing. I calmly asked Kurt to turn on the
light as I kept my eye on the figure the whole time, and when he turned on
the light the figure was gone. After that, we kept a nightlight on in the
room and melted quite a few lamps.
Month's later we had visited a friend who had done some spring cleaning and
wanted to get rid of a Ouija board. She wanted to get rid of it because she
said it was evil and didn't want it in her house anymore. We took the board
back to his house and were hesitant to use it. I was not the only one who
had experienced the spirits in the house. Kurt used to hear a baby cry and
someone calling his name every once in awhile and one night when we were on
the phone and his parents were gone, he freaked out because he saw a figure
or skull shadow on the fireplace wall. After talking it out we decided to
pull out the board and see what would happen. We were sitting on the floor
in the basement, and to my left was his bedroom. Since his room gave me the
creeps I asked him to shut the door. We started to play, but the pointer
wouldn't move. After a few minutes of concentration, we started hearing
noises coming from his room and we both stopped and looked at each other,
not really sure what to think. We started up again and the whole time we
both stared at the door. There was a poster of a rock band on the backside
of his door and after staring at it, it looked like there was blood running
down the eyes of the performers. We were freaked out enough only to here the
sounds in the room being escalated and it sounded like a wild animal was
trying to get out of his room. We both stopped and he went up to the door
and opened it. Only a cold breeze was felt, nothing else happened. After he
opened the door we went back to the board game to play more, we even had the
nerve to go into his room and sit on the bed with the board game in hand.
After awhile we put the game away and strange enough there was almost a
sense of peace and I didn't feel uneasy a few weeks later. I think that
maybe we "trapped" the spirits into the board or something. A couple of
months later, Kurt had gotten home late and was walking to his room in the
dark. He saw a bunch of white figures standing around the pool table and if
that wouldn't be enough to freak you out, when he went into his room, there
was a white figure lying on his bed! Of course, when he turned on the light,
nothing was there.
For those of you who like to play games, stick to the fun games. The Ouija
board can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing or what you are
dealing with.
After all of my experiences, I truly believe that there is something on the
other side and from what I have witnessed, I am starting to think that they
are only living out their lives the way we live ours, just in a spiritual
sense.



Story of a Spirit

 I had a very frightening but very calming experience when I was about 12 years old.  My grandfather, Norman McCarty had just passed away and I felt very uneasy about what was going to happen to him, and when I asked my mother she told me that he would never leave us and that he would always be watching over us.  These words didn't really calm me so just wondered about his fate.  i didn't know him very well, just about all I knew of him was that he was killed by alcoholism.  So the following night I was watching TV and then I felt another presence in the room with me, my mother was in the garage doing the laundry and my dad was at work, so I was the only one in the room, I turned around and looked at the couch, and there was he was.  He was just sitting there watching me watch tv.  He was slightly tranparent and had a very calm and pleasent look on his face.  This frightened me very much.  I turned away and when I looked back he was gone.  But one of the odd things is that where he was sitting, the couch was very cold, and afghan was crumpled when it had been folded.  I ran outside and told my mother and very calmly told me that Norman had just come back to say goodbye and to let me know that everything was okay.  Over the next couple of weeks he also appeared to my father, walking down the hallway of our house, he was standing in the doorway of my room (Norman).  He then didn't make an appearance to my grandmother, but instead called her name several times during the night shortly after his passing.  These, I beleive were him letting his family know that he was in a better place but missed us very much.


The Shadow

Hi all.  My name is Leci, and I live in a small town
in southeastern Indiana.  I've been reading all of
these stories for a while, and some of them are really
great.  This isn't anything all that scary (except to
me), but if you want to hear more, e-mail me.  About 3
months ago, I suddenly got "spooked" (that's what I
call the feeling that I get when there is a spirit
around.)  I guess some background, I am a
spiritualist.  I can see and sense spirits, but I am a
beginner, so I am not always consistent with this.  It
is sometimes a hit and miss thing.  Ok, now back to
the story.  For the next two weeks, I was going
through cold spots, feeling someone tap me on the
shoulder at work, home, in the car, and just about
everywhere else I was, vivid, strange CONFUSED dreams
(very chaotic).  Then one night while staying at my
boyfriends house, I got the hair raising feeling that
someone else was in the room with us, and I knew that
it wasn't the kids because they weren't there.  Being
the big brave girl that I am, I pulled the covers over
my head, and refused to open my eyes.  Then I started
feeling someone poke me on the leg.  I had ahold of
both of my boyfriend's hands (he was sound asleep),
but kept feeling this.  It was like someone was trying
to get my attention.  Then J (my boyfreind) rolls
over, and so do I and I opened my eyes.  There beside
the bed was a shadow.  I rubbed my eyes a few times
thinking (hoping) that it was them playing tricks on
me.  Well, I realized that it wasn't when the shadow
moved like he was going to touch my leg again.  I
freaked!! Woke my boyfriend, and all of his neighbors
up.  The thing did not disappear, and he could not see
it, even when I pointed directly to it.  This went on
until I invoked my angels to do something.  After
about two weeks of things of this nature happening, I
was at my house, and looked in my bedroom only to
watch my light switch flip itself off.  I was more
than angry by this time, because I had not really been
able to sleep very good for a few weeks.  I stood up,
marched in and shouted, "Whoever you are, you are
dead.  You are no longer alive, get over it.  Go to
Heaven, go to H***, I don't care, just go away and
leave me alone."  (I had been trying to get him to go
into the light with my angels for a while, but he was
stubborn, and would not go.)  He went away then.  But
I really would not reccommed that anyone get this
angry with a spirit.  It is really not a good idea.
They can be very mean when ticked off.  I found out
later, and realized who it was.  It was an
acquaintance of mine, that was a good friend of a good
friend of mine.  He had been killed in a car accident/
murder?? about 2 weeks before this. Sorry this was
sooooo long.  Any comments or suggestions for next
time can e-mail me at amarher@yahoo.com.
