My Guardian

 

By: legend_24_00@yahoo.com

 

Since I was born my parents were always religious,

still are to this day.  I myself am a die-hard

Catholic with a firm belief in the Gospel that none

could break.  This experience still happens once in

awhile though my first was an event I'll never forget.

 This is a true story!

I was about 7 or 8 years old I can't remember really.

At that age, surprisingly, my chest was showing a few

signs of hair and my father remarked it looked like I

had a cross on my chest.  Being religious only

strengthened the matter.  That night while I slept I

felt this presence in the room.  It wasn't malevolent

but kind and gentle.  Lately I had trouble sleeping,

bad nightmares and night terrors.  I felt as if it was

holding me and I thought at the time I felt soft downy

feathers underneath me.  The next morning when I woke

up I asked my mother if she had slept with me to help

me sleep and her answer was no, stating I was sleeping

like a baby.  Since that time I've had this presence

with me whenever I feel depressed or lonely or I have

trouble sleeping.  When I talked to the local priest

he said it's your guardain angel that has become

overprotective of you.  When I met a prominent psychic

she explained this being follows me wherever I go but

cannot describe what he/she is.  She also stated that

the air around me swirls in strange patterns as if to

say I have a unique presence in the universe.  To this

day I still feel it's presence around me even in an

empty room.  I've come to the conclusion that it is

either my guardian angel or spirit guide as my Apache

mentor told me.

 

 

 

My Angels

 

By: nikie_n_b@yahoo.com

 

I have several things that have happened to my family and me over the years.  Some were pleasant experiences, some not so pleasant. 

When I was four years old my mother died of cancer.  Even though we knew my mom was a Christian and was in Heaven, this was devastating to our family, as you can imagine.  My dad was suddenly left with two girls to raise all by himself (my older sister was eight at the time).  My family tried to help out as much as possible, especially my paternal grandparents.  They were God sent.  They lived right next door to us so we were over there as much as possible. They basically helped raise, and spoil, my sister and I.  (I promise this will be pertinent to my story later on.)

About 2 = years later, my dad remarried.  One night when my sister and I were asleep my stepmother came in our room and checked on us.  She said that when she loo d in the room she saw my mother standing over us.  My mother looked at her, smiled, and then disappeared.  My stepmother said she felt like my mother was telling her that shes glad that we had another mother but that she (my mother) would always be watching over us.

The next event happened to me when I was 14 or 15. My MawMaw (the one that helped raise me) started having mini-strokes. She was in and out of the hospital a lot for about a year.  One day at the end of school, my dad called the school and told my sister and I that they had to rush MawMaw to the hospital.  My sister drove to the hospital as fast as she could but we were too late.  When we got in the hospital room my entire family was crying. My dad looked at me and said, Shes gone.  I excused myself and ran to the bathroom.  As soon as I shut the door I cried.  I remember thinking I cant believe shes gone.  This isnt right.  That night, I went to bed thinking about my MawMaw. In the middle of the night I woke up and saw something above my head.  It smiled at me and said, Im alright now.  You dont have to worry about me.  I screamed because I didnt know what or who it was. My dad ran into the room and I told him what happened.  He hugged me and said, Honey, I think that was your MawMaw.    As soon as he said that, I knew he was right and I felt a peace come over me. 

Well, thats all that Ill share for right now.  Maybe next time Ill tell about a frightening experience I had about 4 years ago.

 

 

 

 

I Think it is Grandpa

 

By: ValerieQCitizen@aol.com

 

My house is haunted I am the 3rd generation that has lived in my home.  My grandparents both died here in my home as well as a uncle who died at the age of 14.  I believe the ghosts may have been here way before because one day when my grandfather was in the garage he claims he saw a woman walking along the wall with a poka doted dress and hat on.  He went to ask her what she was doing and she vanished.  What has happened to me is at night I smelled food being cooked but no one is there.  Things will turn off and on by themselves. One interesting event that happened was soon after my grandfather passed away his old car was parked out side in the street in the middle of the night a nieghbor was awaken to hear someone trying to break in the car he called to us on the phone and let us know the police were called. How ever in the time that this took place the neighbor view a man coming out of the shadows and chasing the criminal away.  No one knows who that was but I think it was grandpa :) thank you

BOY IN THE STREET

 

By: XBaBiSheLLz02@aol.com

 

It was a summer night and my mother,brother,sister,aunt,cousin and I were driving home from the shore. It was really hot and humid out so i decided to open my window. I had it down for about 5 minutes when a very cold breeze came and it gave me chills up my spine! Then i saw this image in the middle of the road. It was a boy he looked about 15 or 16 yrs old. He was wearing a american flag shirt with jeans and converse sneakers and he had like reddish brownish hair. It looked like he was going to give me a letter. Then all of a sudden a truck came went right through him and then he vanished and I never saw him again> I have had other ghost expiriences with ghosts before but not like this!   Real thing and it really happened!

 

 

 

Figures in the Smoke

 

By: Anonymous

 

                         

 

 

First of all I would like to keep my identity anon. I don't want to lose my job over what I'm going to write. I'm an Australian bush fire fighter and live on the North Coast of NSW. Last year we had some pretty nasty bushfires and my unit was called up to help to contain a Black Spot. There is four in my team and we drove up into the mountains where the fire was out of control.

As we parked the truck and was getting our gear, one of my teammates spotted someone in the smoke. "Bugger, but there's two f**king kids in that there fire!"

So him and I donned our overalls and went in looking for these two "kids". Suddenly, the smoke got thicker and I soon lost my mate in the smoke. I found myself wandering around like a headless chook, cursing and swearing like a sailor when I felt someone holding my hand. Like a child. Whoever the 'kid' was, they led out of the fire and onto the dirt road where I met up with the others. They thought I was shitting them. Wasn't till a few days later I happened to be in the local historical society when I stumbled upon an old newspaper clipping dating back to 1926. The exact spot where I had the above experience used to be a farmhouse (that is true because I found the old house a few weeks later) and a bushfire came burning through. The farmhouse was burnt down killing two kids-a boy aged 10ish and his sister 7/8. Both parents survived. Weird or what?

 

 

 

Flickering Lights

 

 

By: vmetcalfe3@hotmail.com

 

 

Today I was taking a shower when all of a sudden the light started to flicker and I said to myself," I'm going to be out of the shower in a Minute" .So while I was still in the shower the light went out for about 10-15sec. When all of a sudden it came on again, and it was perfectly fine and I thought to myself "how could a light go out for about 10 sec. then come on again and be perfectly fine and not flicker". Besides both my grandparents passed away my Grandma 2001 and my grandpa 2002 and maybe it was them trying to tell me something. Theres also another story of when I was home alone and down stiars there is a work room with a whole bunch of tool anyway I kept hearing rattling noises down stairs so I went down to see what it was and no one was there so maybe it was again my granpa trying to tell me something.

 

 

Haunted USS Alabama

 

 

By: geria@prodigy.net

 

 

My experience happened in late October to early November of 1985 or 1986, and for years I have searched the Web and reading materials of WWII for information regarding the USS Alabama. I gave up for a while, but recently my interest was aroused again, and there is more information available now on this ship.

I toured the ship with my first husband and two other couples. No one else was on the ship except the six of us, and each couple choose a different route. I believe there were three painted lines: red, yellow, and blue at the beginning of the tour and each route ran through the entire ship but just not together. Each couple chose a different route and we did not run into each other again because the ship was so large. A few minutes into the tour, I had the feeling of not being alone, that other people were watching us and I kept turning around looking for someone but no one was ever there. This continued throughout the entire tour until my husband started questioning me on why I kept turning around. When I told him, he just scoffed at me. I never heard any voices or saw anyone/anything, but I just had the uncanny feeling of an unseen presence and some sadness. The only noises I remember was something being banged on metal which I attributed to "settling" of the ship. At the very end of the tour just before we were to get off the ship, we saw a sleeping compartment for some sort of lieutenant. I entered the compartment and sat on the bunk for just a second or two. As I was coming out of this compartment, something snatched a diamond earring out of my ear. Not much pain, but definitely a force and not just the earring falling out on its own. I was upset because I thought even if I was able to find the earring, I would have to go to a jewelry store to get another back for it because I knew I would never be able to find the tiny little back to it. When we found the earring, it was in a corner 10-12 feet from where I had been standing and the back was still on it. I took this to mean that there definitely had been someone/something else on that tour with us and because my husband kept scoffing at me, this was the "other person's" way of letting me know I had not been wrong.

This next part may just be my imagination or maybe there could have been pictures of some of the officers on the ship at the time I was there, I don't remember, but for years I have carried the image of a tall, thin faced, blond officer in my mind. No name; just his face. A few weeks ago when I began my search again for information on the ship, one Web site had pictures and biographies of some of the commanders; one is the face I have seen in my mind for years. Unless there were pictures on that ship back in '85 or '86, there is no other place I could have seen that face. None of books on WWII I have searched through had this man in them.

This is the only strange thing that has ever happened to me. I have been to the Winchester Mystery House in California, the Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana, Civil War battlefield parks, etc., (well documented "haunted" sites) and never ever has anything even remotely "different" happened to me.

 

 

 

Haunting

 

By: sjwill66@hotmail.com

 

 

      When I was a small child (around 7 or 8)  in the late 1950's, my parents took our family consisting of my sister,  and two families of cousins and all of their parents plus one grandmother to the U.P. in Michigan. Since there weren't enough bedrooms downstairs in the rented cabin (circa 1920's) that's where all the adults slept and all of us kids were put in sleeping bags up in the loft. Not too much time after going to bed I felt a heavy presence and looked around to see if any of my cousins were feeling this, whatever it was. Alas, they were all sleeping soundly, except for me. After awhile I became very afraid and a man's face appeared right above my sleeping bag-glowing like it was daytime (it was well after midnight) He told me his name was Charles and he wanted to play with me. I informed him in no uncertain terms that I had no desire whatsoever to have anything to do with him. At being told this he took a softer attitude for awhile and his whole glowing body had materialized by that time. He picked up my jump rope lying right beside me and started swinging it close by my face and saying he wanted me to hang myself from the rafters so I could be there forever to play with him and how sad he was that he had hung himself on the rafters in that very cabin years earlier and what a big mistake he had made in doing that.  I tried to convince him that I didn't know how to tie a knot with the rope but he offered that he would help me.All night long I laid there frozen in my sleeping bag unable to move and periodically Charles's face would turn grotesquely distorted. and burst into flames and then a moment later he would begin swinging the jump rope over my face touching it at times. I was petrified out of my little mind. As soon as I heard any of the adults moving downstairs making breakfast in the morning, I went flying down those steep steps as fast as I could and told my grandmother what had happened. When my parents got up my father insisted I had made this all up and he took me to see the widow lady who owned the cabins. After I told her what had happened the color went completely went out of her face and I described her late husband to a T including a big mole on the side of one cheek. She told my father that her late husband had hung himself from the rafters that us kids were sleeping under back in the late 1930's and she could never figure out why she had so much trouble renting out this particular cabin. So rather than being reprimanded for telling a big fib, my father informed me that if I ever saw anything like this again to keep it to myself. I can still smell the rotten breath of Charles if I close my eyes for a few seconds. It was the creepiest thing I had happen to me as a small child. If a young child tells you something they've felt, please believe them.

 

 

 

Hello!

 

By: vmetcalfe3@hotmail.com

 

    I don't know if anyone else has expierienced what i have, it was so wierd. Ok.... It all started christmas eve me and my sister were laying in our beds just waiting for "santa" to come and give us our presants. I was just lying there when i sort of drifted off into a kind of half awake half asleep feeling (but i swear it was real!) anyway, i was sleeping sort of only with my eyes wide open when i looked into a small corner of the room when i see little figures dancing as if they were at some sort of party or something, so i think to myself "okay i'm freakin' crazy!"  and so i just put it to the side of my mind. Then I was still dreaming (normally)  when i suddenly picture myself wakeing up but that i was being spun around in the middle of the room repitively; I woke up so scared so i went to get a glass of water. When i was pretty well up the full set of stairs i saw my mother sitting at the table having a glass of somesort so i continued, Then just as i go to turn the light on in the bathroom i feel this INCREDIBLE force push right through me i swear to this day i can still picture it in my mind i can see myself standing there  paralyzed with fear. Not being able to move at all i stood there and all i could think about was ... My grandmother who past away about 3 years ago. I'm not sure who or what it was but all i know is that it obveously wanted to tell me something that was very importent, i'm not really sure what it was that the spirit or whatever it was i encounterd wanted me to know? but i still get scared of even thinking of the word"Ghosts or spirits" but yet it pulls me toward the thrill of them.

 

 

 

More Activity

 

By: sonofthetesttube@hotmail.coms

 

Hello.  I've sent a couple of my experiences here before, when I was a bit

younger.  I've stated before that I live in an old school house that has

much spiritual activity   Lately, there has been much more activity than usual.

I will start by telling a story that happened to me when I was about 13 (I'm

17 now).  It was very early in the morning, dark as a matter of fact.  I was

half-asleep on the couch in my living room, just about to wake up.  In the

hallway from the kitchen, I heard a a growl, then a scratching sound.  This

scratching turned into a tapping, like how a dog runs on a hard floor.  This

sound seemed to rush from the hallway closer to me, when all of the sudden,

I feel something hit me as I try to wake up.  What happened next can be

explained as sleep paralysis, but instead of just the feeling of being

pushed down, I felt as if my chest was torn open and my insides were ripped

apart.  The growling was still present, along with my whimperred voice

trying to let out a scream.  After I tried to "put up a fight" with whatever

it was, a hallucination or some other being, I jumped back awake with tears

dripping.  My chest felt that pain for that entire day.

The reason why I told that story, even though I'm not sure if it's a

hallucination or not, is that it closely relates to another experience, that

happened not to long ago, almost a week actually.  I was, again, half

asleep, in my bed (the same room where I have mentioned seeing a ghost lady

at the foot of my bed in another experience I have emailed), where I was

practically having a nigtmare.  It was a strange nightmare, where there were

faceless beings surrounding me, ripping my body apart.  It's a dream, so

it's very hard to explain in words.  Well, usually in nightmares, you widely

awaken in fear before you go back to sleep.  The most disturbing thing about

this is, after I became widely awake... these same apparitions were still in

my room, surrounding me, muttering and growling.  I  then closed my eyes,

fell back on my pillow and let out a cry.  I woke my mom up, she rushed in

to see waht was wrong, and she saw me laying there with my eyes wide open on

my pale face.  I felt sick for a week since that day.

I thought hard about this occurance, when I realized that the sounds and

feelings I have sensed from the first story, were present in what happened

in the second one.  It's a rough connection, but I felt the very same

emotions, and I feel there must be a connection.  They both happened in my

waking-stage of sleep, the spirits (as I think they are) rush an "attack"

towards the inside of the chest, and are disturbingly similar.  In any case,

it's something I really want to look into.  I've had plenty of people spend

the night here, in the living room mostly, and hear strange noises coming

from that branch of the house (my room, the hallway and kitchen are all in

the same branch of the house, which is the newer addition to the old

schoolhouse building).  Some of my friends who have been here late at night

felt a strang presence from that hallway too.  I know I've felt it as a

child, I remember trying to avoid that hallway for my life.

I've read the articles on Sleep Paralysis here at The Shadowlands, hoping to

find more answers to what this means.  I'm fully aware of the fact that

tricks on the mind can happen in a sleep state, but Istill keep an open eye

on the possibility of spiritual activity working in a very phenomenal way.

 

 

 

My Farmhouse Ghost Experience

 

By: kiaika369@yahoo.com

 

 I remember when I was a little girl, my grandparents owned a colonial farmhouse that had been standing for at least 150 years. My grandmother thought the house may have been used for the underground railroad, because it had a few little doors and rooms off of some of the closets in the bedrooms and in the basement. I wasnt allowed to go into them because they didn't have electricity and my grandmother was afraid that I would hurt myself. Members of my family said that I wouldn't want to go in them anyway, because there were ghosts there. Of course I didn't believe them, I thought they were just telling me this to scare me. (As any 7 year old would.) But that was all going to change one night when I spent the night there one night. I was staying in their guest room, which had one of those little rooms off of the closet. The little room was probably for extra storage, or maybe a staircase because the back was all boarded up. and late that night, I woke up because I thought I was being watched. I looked up, and noticed that the closet door was open and a small figure was standing there, glowing bluish. I screamed and ran into my grandmother's room, and wouldn't go back into that room. I never saw that figure again, but I did see another ghost of an elderly farmer on the property. I was nine this time and playing in the barn. I was upstairs in the hay loft, burrowing around in the hay. (Again, lik I wasn't supposed to be.) Again, I had that same feeling of being watched. I sat up and looked around and in the corner, an elderly farmer was standing, watching me. At first I thought it was my grandfather, but then I realized that his feet weren't touching the floor. As soon as I noticed this, I screamed and ran out of the barn. There have been many sightings of him since then, including one of my brother seeing him floating outside of a second story window.

 

 

 

 

Dark House

 

 

By: hiei_43@hotmail.com

 

  I lived in a haunted house for 10 years. You see, I could feel ceartin

weird feeling espisally in my own room. I could also hear whispering in the

back off the house. doors would mysterly open in different parts of my

house. Then when we were finally going to move, the house we about to move i

got a weird vibe. But lucky for me we moved into a that is ok, but I will 

never forget my experiences in that dark house.

 

 

 

                       

 Not Awake, Not Asleep, something happens to me

 

 

By: lylcoop@earthlink.net

 

This is an experience I have had repeatedly, over the course of several years, when I am in bed for the night, just falling asleep. Still, to this day, it tries to return, but I have found ways to avoid it (or fight it) because it scares the heck out of me.

It's almost as if it were a dream, but I am not actually asleep when it happens. I feel as if it is when I am on the verge of sleep, but still almost awake. Like just before your mind actually lets go and sleeps, there is a place in between and it lasts only a second, but that's when this thing happens to me. I can only speak for myself, I don't know of any one else who has experienced this, but I've heard stories... Also, when ever I remember this, it is always in slow motion.

I feel as if something comes at me, from behind always, always toward my back, it's like a dark shadow and it tries to suck me deeper into sleep and if I don't fight it with ALL MY MIGHT I truly believe I will never wake up again. While this is happening I am frozen and cannot move, yet I am aware of my room, I am aware of things around me and what is happening, I can even hear my TV. I can scream in my mind, and hear barely an "uuhhh" come out of my own mouth. It takes ALL my might and effort to open my eyes, but once I get my eyes open I can focus on things in my room like my dresser or door anything and come out of it, but it SO STRONG I sometimes feel I might not be able to fight it and that is why I believe I never will wake up. The whole time this is happening I am frozen to my bed and cannot move. Please note, it's hard to explain, it doesn't feel as if it is pulling my body, it is pulling ME, deeper into "sleep". One time it was pulling me so strongly that when I did get my eyes open, I actually could see my room, but it was as if looking through water, or fog.  It still had me even though I was opening my eyes.

This is a true experience, believe this. I am not joking, I would not type this much otherwise... If I were to compare it to any thing I would say it resembles the dark figures or shadows (in the movie "Ghost" with Whoopie Goldburg) that come and take some one away right after they have died.  Please note, I cannot physically see whatever this is, I am saying that this is my guess of what it would look like.

To this day I still cannot sleep without the TV. This has happened to me repeatedly. Countless times within a span of several years. When this began, I lived in an apartment near the Piedmont Hills in the Bay Area, California. I was always uncomfortable, and felt as if I were being watched there.  I started sleeping in the frontroom with the TV on because I started having really evil dreams and was scared to be alone at this point.  I would desparately beg my boyfriend to please stay home with me, because he worked nights, but he couldn't take any more time off because he had already used up all his sick days etc... sometimes I was just too scared to be alone there, especially at night.  I never used to be that way, and I am not faint of heart.  I am actually 4' 11" and 90lbs soaking wet, but I forget I am not 10 feet tall and bullet proof sometimes.  Still, when this began, I became scared.

What ever it is followed me when I moved, and to this day I still feel it, although it has been a while since I have struggled with it when I go to sleep. I must have my boyfriend hold me with my back at his chest, (spoon fashion) and this works and when he rolls over I make sure my back is touching his and I feel comfortable this way. As long as my back, or behind me isn't open, or "exposed", for some reason it isn't as bad when I feel my back is "protected", and I am not as vulnerable when I am facing " IT ".   I know, this all sounds strange, but it is true. There is more also, but too much to write, but I wouldn't mind telling about every thing else, it's just too much to type.

I am curious to know if any one else has had a similar experience, or if you know what this is, I would so appreciate learning more because understanding it would help me greatly. If so you can e-mail me at: lylcoop@yahoo.com

 

 

 

Nursing Home I work at..

 

 

 

By: armalite_ar50@yahoo.com

 

Don't really know where to start so I'll start @ the

top.

feel free to use this on your sight.

I work in a nursing home, 3rd shift, for the last year

I have been transferred to the 1st floor. I, amoung

others. have seen some pretty weird stuff. it kinda

starts like this.

bout 6 months ago I started seeing off the wall

things. while all of us where @ the nursing station.

(there are only 4 employees on 3rd shift 1st floor)

pple comming out of the dining room NOT in wheelchairs

but walking upright and pretty darn fast. a person(s)

down one hall walking out of one room and into the

next on the same side of the hall. (both rooms have

NON-amblitory residents).

water turning on in one room's bathroom.

One resident that passed away about 4 months ago can

still be heard laughing. ( I have never heard this

personally but others have)

A entity that AWALYS runs the same direction @

lightning speed with arms flailing. I'm talking 28

DAYS LATER style. (only two of us have seen this)

I see it some times upto 5 times a night. BUT only

when I'm down one certain hall.

I call it the "track runner"

These are some of the real common things that happen.

Now for the Ghost stories.

1:

About 3 months ago I had a resident that is metally

with it. ask me to get "that man" out of her room. It

litrally gave me goose bumps.

When I asked her where he was she said there by the

mirror. Needless to say I saw NO ONE.

So later on I asked a co-worker if she had seen

anything that was diffrent or odd. before I could

finish the sentence she told me to stop and went pale.

about 10 minutes later she came to me again and

started talking. mainly about the things I posted

above. We ended up @ the nursing station in a pretty

good discussion and ALL of us had pretty much the same

story.

Fast forward to Thursday Oct. 14th/15th 3rd shift..

2:

The same resident that had asked me a few months ago

to remove the "man" by the mirror from her room rings

her call bell.

I go down and ask what I can do. She tells me to "get

him out of here" I ask who? the person by the dresser.

She replies.

So now I'm thinking Tooo Coool......

I step out in the hall and get another co-worker and

have her wait out side the door out of sight.

as I return into the room she is now asking me "Why is

my husband with that stranger?" " My husband is dead

and I don't know that other person" I ask her where

they are and she tells me.

"Don't Act that way with me I'm not crazy I know what

I see." Then proceeds to get verbally abusive with me.

THe other Co-worker comes in @ this point After

hearing what went on. and the resident goes through

the same routine about her husband and the stranger

with him.

So we get the charge nurse. Same routine.

3:

About a hour later another resident rings her call

bell. @ this point two of us go down together

(diffrent hall). This resident is begging us to get

her out of bed. Her words. " I don't want to be in bed

with him he's not my husband and I don't know him."

She was deffinatly shook up, so we transferred her to

her chair and brought her out to the nursing station

with us.

While we are getting her some coffee and gram crackers

another bell rings, again diffrent hall.

4:

The charge nurse got that one. She comes back out and

stated that the resident said the man by her TV told

her "she wasn't going to be here much longer" and she

insisted that "he" was still there

although the charge nurse couldn't see him even after

turning the lights on.

5:

The 1st lady that saw her husband and stranger rings

again.

So three of us went down and left one aid to watch the

halls answer and answer call lights.

This time two of us stay in the hall and only the

charge nurse went in. The resident started talking

about possosion and demons. Very detailed and very

scarry to say the least.

I figured with all the weird stuff happing @ work and

all, I would share what I've been experiencing with my

co-workers as of late.

I've had other uncanny happings in my life @ other

places, but nothing with this much activity, or so

many other pple. That either agree with me, or

describe what I have seen to me 1st, without me

asking.

 

 

Nursing Home I work at.. the rest of it.

If your going to use it then I'll give you the rest of

the stuff that has happened over the last few months

also.

The lady that saw her husband and the stranger has a

roommate. that is "with it" mentally also.

She has stated in a rather calm voice. "What's he

doing here?" When asked who? she just says " Oh never

mind I must be getting confused in my old age." she's

86 and every bit as sharp as a gisu knife.

Whe have one resident that not only believes in black

magic but has threaten to "put a spell" on me and

another co-worker.

She stated that if I was older or she were younger

she would put a love binding spell on me to attach us

now and in the after life.

She wasn't so kind with her threats of magic to the

other co-worker. She out right threatened harm to her.

I confronted her son and daughter (both in their 60's)

about the whole magic thing. both @ the same time

together. They said not only did she practice it but

nothing any good ever came out of it. And that they

were raised around it and had no wishes to participate

in it. Both are christians that go to church. I to am

a christian and have no desire to be involved in it in

any way shape or form.

We have found things moved around @ work that WE know

where put in one place then found in another.

Nobody would fess up to moving the items.

Our front door code alert alarm will go off on it's

own. This is setup on the inner doors so I can't be

the wind blowing hard.

This is something that will only go off if someone

opens or walks though the door.

and for some reason never trips on other shifts unless

a resident with a code alert walks though the door.

Several of us have seen faces in the windows of the

fire escape doors leading to the stairs.

again you can't get on the outside of these doors with

out setting a alarm off.

Matter of fact that was one of the 1st things I ever

experienced out of the norm @ work on that floor.

When I worked on the 2nd floor we had a lady that was

out of it literally didn't speak and spent her waking

hours in a gerry chair.

One night while doing rounds she starts talking.

" I don't want to die,I don't want to die,I don't want

to die, I don't want to go to the light,I don't want

to go to the light,I don't want to go to the light."

My Co-worker tells her "It's alright just go to he

light."

We found her dead less than 20 minutes later.          

 

 

 

Pasadena Auditorium

 

By: mamiry@pasadenacenter.com

 

    I work security for the Auditorium and had experience some strange

things during my shift. There were times when I would see some of the

dressing rooms lights on from the outside of the building and before I

open the dressing room doors the light would turn off . There was

another time when I was checking the dressing room one by one and out of

nowhere the showers would turn on by themselves. There was a security

officer who claimed that he has seen one of the old engineers up on top

of the stage in the middle of the night when no one was in the

Auditorium. The strange thing about that is one of the engineers fell

off the stage a long time ago and died. One of the cleaning crew member

stated to me that while she was cleaning the females bathroom she herd a

mans voice tell here to get out but there was nobody there. The

Auditorium was build in 1932 and has a old bomb shelter.

 

 

 

PHANTOM ENTITY

 

By: Shylock1041@cs.com

 

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN THE BACK YARD OF MY PARENTS HOUSE ON THEIR PATIO AND WAS WITNESSED BY ME PERSONALLY. WHEN MY PARENTS BOUGHT THEIR HOME, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT THEY DID WAS TO BUILD A BIG PATIO WITH A ROOF ON IT.

THEY BOTH USED TO LIKE TO SIT OUT THERE IN THE SUMMER UNTIL DARK ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.

THIS PARTICULAR AFTERNOON, I DECIDED TO VISIT AND I GOT OVER THERE LONG BEFORE DARK WITH THE IDEA OF SPENDING SOME TIME VISITING WITH THEM ON THEIR PATIO. DAD HAD A RECLINER OUT THERE AND MOM HAD A SWING THAT SHE LOVED TO USE. I WENT AROUND BACK AND, SURE ENOUGH, THEY WERE ON THE PATIO SO I PULLED UP A CHAIR AND STARTED TO VISIT. I WAS ONLY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX FEET FROM MOM AND DAD WAS A LITTLE FARTHER STRAIGHT ACROSS THE PATIO FROM HER. I WAS TALKING TO DAD AND LOOKING IN HIS DIRECTION WHEN, ALL AT ONCE, I HEARD THE SOUND OF CLAWS ON WOOD AS IF SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO CLIMB UP THE BACK OF MOM'S SWING RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I JERKED MY HEAD AROUND TOWARD THE SOUND JUST IN TIME TO SEE MOM VAULT OUT OF HER SWING WITH A YELL.

SHE STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATIO LOOKING AT THAT SWING, THEN TURNED TO ME AND ASKED ME" DID YOU HEAR THAT"? " I SURE DID," I ANSWERED BACK. THEN DAD CHIMED IN WITH "WHAT IN THE DEVIL MADE THAT SOUND"? SHE THEN TOLD US THAT SHE DEFINITELY FELT SOMETHING TRYING TO CLIMB UP THE BACK OF HER SWING WITH HER AS SHE COULD FEEL IT AS WELL AS HEAR IT.

NOW THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN FAIRLY ORDINARY HAD THERE BEEN ANYTHING THERE, WHICH THERE WAS NOT!! IT WAS JUST TURNING DUSK BUT IT WAS A LONG WAY FROM BEING DARK AND THE SOUND HAD COME FROM AN AREA ONLY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX FEET FROM ME SO IT WAS VERY LOUD AND DISTINCT- I HAD HEARD SOMETHING CLIMBING UP THE BACK OF THE SWING AS CLEAR AS COULD BE.

WE JUST STOOD THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES TRYING TO GATHER OUR THOUGHTS AS TO WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED BUT THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FORTHCOMING. WE TALKED OF IT OFTEN BUT COULD NEVER COME UP WITH A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION FOR IT. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH SHE AND DAD CONTINUED TO USE IT IN THE SUMMER UNTIL HE PASSED ON. WITH HIM GONE, SHE NEVER SAT OUT THERE ALONE AGAIN ALTHOUGH SHE USED IT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER.

 

 

 

Since I lived There

 

By: hippintrippie@hotmail.com

 

From about 1997 to 1999 I lived in a duplex with my dad in Fort Carson,

Colorado. Not long after we moved in wierd things started happening. Things

would happen in the kitchen like the oven alarm going off when no one had

been cooking anything. Once the can opener turned on all by itself. The

thing that happened most often was the toilet in my bathroom flushing by

itself. At first it was just once in a while but then it started to happen

almost every day. None of it ever scared me though,  but one thing happened

to my dad that kinda freaked him out. One night he was in bed going to sleep

and he felt the bed sink down like someone was laying next to him. At first

he thought it was our dog but there was nothing there, and the dog was

sleeping in my room that night. Oh, and one of my friends knew the people

who lived there before me. He said the same sorts of things happened to

those people. He had been over there before when the toilet flushed by

itself. He told me all this before I said anything about what had happened

since I lived there.

 

 

 

Strange Things in our Houses

 

By: roo2003@comcast.net

 

Me and my friends all have strange things that happen at our houses. Ever since we where young we have felt presences of other people and all have seen other people walking around mostly at night. Recently my good friends family lost their house and had to move to a new one farthur away. We all went together to check out her house and to see what we could find. It was kinda creepy there (no other houses around, in the middle of the woods, burnt down barn in the yard, just plain creepy) But the thing that stood out the most was the door to her basment. The door had been painted blood red and was the only door in the house like it. We all stood around it and could feel that something wasnt right about what was down there. We all decided to go down and check it out anyways just to make sure that it wasnt our imaginations. The stairs where old and almost rotten through and when we got to the bottom there was 2 rooms. The one didnt give us a bad vibe and was actually kinda cool. It had a fireplace and an old table and a door that led right to the woods but when we went near the other we all stopped at the same spot before the door. Something didnt feel right and we couldnt go any further in. It was dark in that room becuase there was no light for it and no windows in it. All of the cornors looked so much darker then the rest of the room though. They where all pitch black. We felt a big gust of cold air come out of the room and saw a pair of eyes in the furthest corner of the room. They looked like a cats eyes when they are hit by the light but there was no cat in the house. We went upstairs and told her family about it. Her mom understands stuff like that and put a cross on the door hopeing to keep what was down there out.

Since we felt such a strong feeling down there we all decided to look around more in the house to see if we got the same feeling but nothing more came from inside the house. We went out to the old barn and felt that same feeling again that something wasnt right. Half of the barn was gone due to a fire that happend in it but we could still get up in the loft just not to the back end of it. Something felt really wronge up there so we left right away. After a while we did some research on the house and found that it was built almost a hundred years ago. The third set of owners that had that house had a child that freezed to death in the woods when she was 5. The fourth person that owned the house hung himself in the barn. The people that owned the house before my friend moved in where the ones that had the fire in the barn and the article said there was no major loses but they did lose their pet dog in the fire.

We have seen more disturbing things from that house since we found out what happend but we have started to learn how to ignore them. They dont bother us but they still show up once in a while and just watch us. We know that they dont want to hurt us so we learned to live with them. Still no one goes into the basment becuase there is something bigger down there that we arent ready to face.

 

 

 

That was the First
