We
lived in an old farmhouse next to the cemetery. Before moving in we were doing
some remodeling and each nite when we would leave we would make sure all lights
were off. The next evening the light on the second level would be on again. We
would hear footsteps upstairs when only the two of us were there alone. After
renovation the empty bedroom that my two girls used as a playroom would have
toys strewn around and they would deny doing it. They would hear voices as if
we were outside their door whispering. And I would hear "Mommy"
thinking it was one of my girls but they would be in the backyard playing &
had not called me. One night, my husband woke up abruptly sat straight up and
looked in the mirror above the dresser. In the mirror you could look into the
livingroom and he saw a woman walking toward the bedroom in white, thinking it
was me he felt to see if I was in bed. I was so looked back and she was gone.
We
were told that the old farmer who had built the house was distraught that they
were going to build a road through his property he hung himself in the barn
across the street.
Strange
thing happened to people who were owners after us. That playroom was occupied
by their teenage son and his TV would come on by itself. The TV required a pair
of pliers for him to operate it.
Family
Ghost Affairs
By:
juliem@cbnstl.com
I
have family members who have experienced ghost
encounters.
After reading some of the stories on your web
page,
I felt compiled to share these as well.
My
parents house was originally built & resided by my
great
grandfather, who later willed the house to my
parents.
My mother often found puddles of water on the
back
porch resembeling wet foot prints, but it was not
raining
out side and no one had been in or out of the
house
or had wet shoes. Mom always said it was great
grandpa
and that she had seen him. She talked to him a few
times
and he eventually went away. Second encounter was my
great
aunt. My great aunt was close friends with a kindly
old
gentelman who use to live accrosst he street from my
grandmother.
They took trips, went to events together,
etc.
The gentelman passed away some time ago. My aunt had
to
take care of (my great aunt) at one point as she had
fallen
ill. While at the house she saw what appered to be
an
older man in a flannel shirt & jeans looking in the
window.
Thinking it was a prowler she investigated to find
no
one there. Thinking nothing of it she mentioned it to
no
one. Later her daughter was at the house doing the
dishes
and seen what she thought was a reflectiong of an
older
man (same clothes) in the window and felt he was
behind
her. Turned around to no one there and couldn't
find
anyone outside. She told no one of her story either.
As
my great aunt became more ill she was moved to a
nursing
home, and recently passed away. While in the
nursing
home a friend of the family was taking care of her
house.
He asked my uncle (not knowing she had died just a
few
days before), if she had died. When he was told yes,
he
said he figured as much as he had seen her in the house
doing
dishes. After this my aunt & cousin's matching
stories
of the old man surfaced to everyone as well as
their
own supprise since they hadn't previously mentioned
it
to each other. As the gentelman used to be a farmer and
always
wore flannel shirts and jeans, we now all assume
the
man looking in the kitchen window was him looking for
my
great aunt.

i dont kno wher to start. everytime i think
back to what happend my eyes
water
and i get a lump in my throat. i thout this type of stuff only happens
in
movies. ok; this all started.. wo im already getting goosebumps.. ok;
this
summer me and 3 of my friends were looking for somthing to do and just
stumbled
on going ghost hunting. we went to the first house we heard of
through
a couple friends at my work; total b.s. they sayd that ther was a
doctor
that killd babies in the house.... we proved that one wrong. see;
with
me and my friends we like to do things more then once so we went ghost
hunting
for like 4 or 5 nights in a row. Heres where my storie starts; me;
brad
and travis where hanging out at the pool hall and mentiond to my friend
nate
about ghost hunting the past few nights he sayd ther was this house he
had
ben too wher "you wouldnt dare to step inside it was so bad" we took
this
as a challenge and wer quite exited. me and travis jumped into my jeep
and
went to my house to get a couple flashlights and my digi camera. nate
met
us at my house a few minits later. on the way to the house it was me;
travis;
nate; and alan and som chick. nate told us that at this house on
foss
hill has had som background but ill tell you later after.. youll see; .
the
drive up the dirt road to the house was the worst part. the headlights
shined
on the house and you could look right in. ther was a hole side of the
hosue
missing. it was on a hill and ther was a giant feild behind it. we
parkd
beside the house and shut off the car. we all got out and got the
flashlights
ready. this house also has a barn over to the right. it was so
eary
and had a funny feeling because you could look striaght into the house
becasue
of the missing side. ok; we wen to the barn first to take a few
pictures.
i snapd pics left and right; then up. i saw wire neuses all over
the
ceiling no bones tho. we decided we were ready to go in the house. nate
went
first then me alan then travis. we went slow so i could take pictures.
we
went into a room in the back of the house. i took a few more pics and
then
i started to get scared for no reason. ok; ther is stairs striaght up
about
the size of a small closet going up into the attic so we went up 'em.
up
in the attic ther was a chimmeny in the center of the room. nate walkd by
the
chimmeny and a bird flew out at him and attackd him then stopd flying in
mid
air. we watched it and i took a picture; it probly had a nest but that
doesnt
explain it hovering in mid air like that. i snapd a few more pics of
the
2 windows and a couple really fast ones down the stairs we just came up.
i
thout i would catch somthin if i did it quick. haha.. so alan goes to go
down
the stairs first and screams; he sayd he saw somthing but i thout it
was
just the nerves gettin to us. so we all go down the stairs fairly quick.
nates
like "lets go in the cellar"; i sayd to myself thats a cute idea us
just
gettin freakd out y dont we finish the job and go in the cellar. nate
starts
to go down the rickety stairs and me right behind him.. CRASH som big
stomp
behind the stairs sent nate hurtleing over me and to the back of the
line
going down into the cellar. i figured id just take a few picts by
hanging
my hand down there instead of actually going down ther. so i hang my
hand
down ther to the left; snap. then to the right; snap. nothing else
happend
so we felt safe. i glanced at the photo real fast; you kno how after
you
take a digi photo it shows up on the screen for a split second then goes
away
and i sayd in a deep voice real slow. " we have to get out of here"
they
were all like whyyyy??? and started running and got in the car; i yelld
driiiivee
they wer all like what what what??.. we stopd on the side of the
road
to look at the pictures. ok; the first few pics were of mist in the
barn
on the ceiling. ok; creepy; . this is why i wated to tell you the
background
so you would understand me wen i told you wat i caught on camera.
there
was a family; mother; father and daughter and farm animals. the story
goes
that two guys came to the house one night and killd them all and hung
ther
livestock in the barn. we lookd at the pics som more and wen we wer in
the
attic i caught two orbs in the window. in plain sight. then the last
picture;
from the basement i caught the orb of the father big as my head
shooting
down from the cellar ceiling towards the floor bright as the sun.
my
guess is that the father was killd in the basement and the mother and
daughter
got chased up to the attic and thats wher they died....; thats not
the
end. we went back to nates house to print out these pictures.. talking
and
freaking ourselfs out even more. thats about al lthat happend that
night.
we wer up till about 3. then i went home.; the next night we decieded
to
go back to get som more pictures; we wer already use to the banging
noises
and all the pictures of the orbs. we went out into the feild; because
i
have a jeep and took a picture of the house from behind; you wouldnt
belive
the orbs that i captured. it was amazing. the second night was not as
scary
as the first but the same amount of anxiety waiting for somthing big
to
happen. i also brought a few friends from work to see the place this
night
. in one photo thers orbs around us while we are arm in arm. the weird
thing
was that night i went to sleep after coming home from the second night
there;
i had a vauge dream.. bring flowers to the house next time you go and
everything
will be ok. but i didnt think of it till the next day at work wen
i
passd a shrubery at school and it all flashed into my head..; after work
the
third day i picked up my friend deen and
jake and went out to the house
but
not without those flowers. that night all we did was park infront of the
hosue
and argue who was going to put the flowers in the house.. i lost; so
me
followd by jake holding the light we walkd into the house and into the
farthest
back room from the first night that made me feel different. i set
the
flowers down and walkd out; got in the jeep and went muddin again in the
feild
behind the house because we wer bord. but wen we wer done i wanted to
look
at the house for a little while; just look at it. i always told my
friends
to respect the house because it just felt like they diserved it. a
while
back my friend nate brought my friend jeremy to the house.. he sayd
F....
the house and started to piss on the house and he froze up and screamd
like
a girl.. so i didnt let my friends bad mouth the house. we wer sitting
in
the jeep and i saw somthing move in the house. jake saw it too. i lookd
again
and it was a small red light in the back room about eye level if
sombody
was standing in ther. then ther was two and then three. i started
the
jeep up and drove off about 50mph on the dirt road going sideways and
screaming
the whole way.; man; we were all so scared; we stoped at a ice
cream
store on the way back and my wallet was on the dashboard?! i calld my
friend
brandi and my phone kept dieing. brandi was freaking out because she
thout
we wer still in the house and shit was happening but i couldnt call
her
to tell her the real story.; that still isnt all i got... thers another
kicker
i got. right after the house we went to a graveyard in norrigewalk
about
10 minits away from the house. im going to jump to this one because i
typed
alot tonight; we wer walking around in the graveyard reading all the
tombstones
and i saw one i liked so i went back to the jeep to get a peice
of
paper to write it down and deen was staying in the jeep cause he was
scared.. me and jake go back into the cemetary and i
walk up to the
gravestone
and see a man kneeling down in a brown suit staring at the grave;
in
a split second he lookd at me and darted away; i saw his slicked back
hair
and his shoes. he had a white shirt on underneath. the epitaf read; "
Until
the day breaks; and the shadows flee away". ironic? and very scary; i
was
white; i was so scared i couldnt run; it scared me straight it was like
it
never happend but i knew i was the most scared id ever been.we got in the
jeep
and went home; i couldnt sleep again that night either.; .... ok; the
next
mornign it was a friday; i went over to brads house to tell him what
happend.
he wasnt at his trailor so i went next door to this guy we call
dad.
i knocked and went in and brad was on the computer telling ppl about
the
other night he went and took som pictures and heard som noises and
stuff;
dad calld me into the other room and askd me if i had read the
paper?;
i sayd; no; not yet why? he sayd read this .;
marshals
sayd it had to be set by sombody because ther had not been
electricity
to the house in 40 years.; BURNT TO THE GROUND; me deen and jake
fled
around 1230am and it was still there when we left. i cant explain it.
it
wasnt us that set it on fire. i didnt even let my friends smoke outside
as
a sign of respect for the dead. how do i explain the mist in the barn?;
it
was a cool experience; if you want to hear more or discuss with me about
wat
happend or ask me som questions feel free. my name is andy daigle and i
live
in
times
i could tell you about if you want. i think im a beliver.FOSS HILL. i

Scared Me
By:
GALOP@COMCAST.NET
this
scared me the first couple times it happned but now i'm used to it! One summer
day I was in my room reading. All of the sudden I start hearing laughing and
giggling and footsteps comming from outside. There are alot of kids on my
street as well as the whole subdivision I live in. So I thought that it just
might be some people outside. I look out my window, i look up and down the
street carefully, I see nothing unusual. The next week it happend again, I do
the same as I did last time. The week following that again it happens, it was
the same exact sound as the times before. I start to wonder so i go outside on
the sidewalk the sound is still continuing, I take a good look and I still see
nothing. Heres the even more freaky part, This happens evey saturday around the
time its dark so around the times of

I
think my Parents have a Ghost
By:
Browneyedgirl011@yahoo.com
Hi. I just wanted to share a few experiences I
have
had,
to see if there may be a spirit, or if I am just
imagining
things.
First
off, these incidents have occured at my parents
home,
next door to me. The home was built by
my
parents
in 1988 on an unused piece of pastureland that
my
grandparents gave them. I was still in
high school
at
the time. At first, there was nothing
going on,
other
than hearing a large thumping once or twice at
night(usually
around the same time) that my father
said
was the bricks settling. A few years
later, it
started. My first experience scared the hell out of
me. Here it is....after high school, I had moved
away
for
a while, and then moved back in with my parents
for
a while. One night, after I went to bed,
I woke
up
for no reason at all.The first thing I saw was a
young
girl(I'd guess around 16 or so) sitting indian
style
in my bedroom floor near the door. she
had long
dark
hair that was over her face and she was sitting
in
my floor petting a cat. At first, I
thought it was
my
younger sister, so I said "Carla, what are you
doing?"(My
sister has long dark hair and I thought it
was
her at first, though our cat lived outside, and
wouldnt
be in the house. This cat was dark. ours was
a
siamiese really light colored) The
figure never
moved
or acknowledged me at all, just kept sitting
there
rubbing that cat. That was when I really
looked
at
her. She was wearing a long white
nightgown (not
all
the way to the floor, but below knee)with long
sleeves. My sister did not even own a nightgown, she
slept
in old t shirts. At this point I thought
"this
is
really freaky", and I got really scared.
I just
rolled
over really slowly and didnt move. I was
up
for the rest of the night but afraid to turn back
over
and see if she was still there. The next
morning
I
asked my sister if she had been up during the night.
She told me no (why lie, she didnt know why I
was
asking) I also told my mother about the incident and
she
told me I just dreamed the entire thing.
That
picture
of that girl is as fresh in my mind today(10
years
later) as it was the night it happened.
The
next
incident was months later, my parents were out
and
my sister and I were at home watching TV.
The
next
thing we know there is a huge crash in the
kitchen. Sounded like every pot and pan in the
cabinet
had come crashing down. We looked at
each
other,
and I told her I was going to go take a look.
She
told me she wasnt going anywhere, no way no how.
I
guess she was scared to be by herself, because she
came
with me. Nothing was out of place. We could
find
no explanation for what we had heard anywhere.
This
has happened a few more times since then.
My
mother
has been there during one of these incidents.
She
couldnt explain it either. When you
mention it to
my
dad, he says no such thing as ghosts. My
mother is
completely
confused because she says there was nothing
on
this property before they built on it in 1988.
Also
the thumping at the back of the house continues
nightly..usually
about the same time. Sounds like
someone
throwing a basketball up against a brick wall.
Its a very unique sound. It never varies. We (my
sister
and my mother and I ) also see shadows out of
the
corner of our eye, but when we turn to look,
theres
nothing there. These incidents do not
happen
all
the time, usually several months in between,
except
for the thumping noises. And I am at a
loss as
to
what all this could be, if it is not, in fact, a
spirit
of some sort. No one else has seen the
figure
I
saw that night in my bedroom, and I have never seen
it
again. I moved out in 2001 when I got
married, but
I
am over there often, as I live right next door, and
this
stuff is still going on. If my father has
witnessed
anything or heard anything he's not telling.
I know my mother and my sister have had
experiences.
What
do you think? Any information would be
helpful.
By the way, it's no longer scary, just
disconcerting
because
you never know when...we are used to it now.
just
curious as to that it could be. Any information
would
be helpful!

I
was at my friend’s 10th birthday at her mother’s haunted house. It was
said
to have been haunted by a little boy, mother, grandmother, father, and
a
newlywed couple. Alex’s brother a couple
years before that had said that
he
saw a ghost in the mirror by the steps and had fallen and broken his leg.
Everyone was outside in the front yard
looking at the full moon except for
me
because I didn’t have any shoes with me.
I had to go into Alex’s room
all
the way on the 3rd floor. I tried to get
some other people to come with
me
so I wouldn’t have to go by myself, but no one would come with me except
for
Alex. He wasn’t as afraid as the other
people because it was her house
even
though he believed it was haunted. As we
were walking up the stairs,
we
kept getting colder and colder. Once we
were up in the hallway by his
room,
we could see our own breathe. That’s
really unusual because it’s
usually
hot in his room. When we got into his
room, I was looking for my
shoes
and then I got a chill through my entire body.
I didn’t really think
anything
of it until I saw Alex frozen in his steps staring at me. I asked
him
what was wrong, but he just stood there shaking. I looked behind him
and
to the right at the full size mirror, and I saw an orb. It was blue and
wispy. The rest that happened, Alex had to tell me
because I fainted. He
said
that once I fainted, the orb came towards him and just floated in front
of
him for a little bit then floated off into his closet. Alex ran over to
me
and carried me down the stairs into the living room and laid me down on
the
couch. He ran off and got the rest of
the people. They put a wet rag
on
my head and then in about a half hour later I woke up. Once I woke up
the
first thing I heard was "Don't come back again." It was ina calm
voice,
not
angry or anything like that. I jumped
out of the couch. Then Matt;
another
person at the party, said, "Maggie, Maggie, are you ok, what's
wrong."
Murderer"s
Pub
By:
lil_ferret_queen@yahoo.com
I
used to live in a old pub, where a great murderer lived. He murdered many
people and when the police went looking for him he would hide in a tunnel under
the house that used to be a path where slaves would escape like the underground
railroad. He kept supposedly hearing the voices of his victims. He went crazy
and hung himself. So I was taping a documentary for my college on how old the
house was when my camera (which was brand new and with full batteries) shut
off. My friend had her digital camera and took a picture of me. She got out her
tape recorder and asked "What do you want?" Later we looked at the
pictures and a bloody face was peering at me with a astonished face. It was
probably one of his mutilated victims. When she played back the tape recorder
after she asked what he wanted it said "Get out!"
My
Invisible Cat
By:
kingmiller@tcsn.net
A
couple of years ago, it was just getting light when something compelled me to
open my eyes. There on the bed in front
of me was a cat. It was staring at the
window behind me, in sort of a stalking position. I lay there, frozen, for about 15 seconds or
so, then it faded from sight. To give
you some background, for some time before this, I had felt something like
someone was sitting on the foot of my bed.
At first, I thought my sister was visiting me. Then I realized that the pressure was too
light to be a person. Then I began to
feel movement up from the foot of the bed to my shoulder area. I came to the conclusion that this was a cat
spirit. I have never seen it manifest
itself again, but it still occasionally walks up my bed, or sits on my
thighs. Sometimes I even hear it hit the
floor as it jumps off the bed. At times,
I believe that I can feel the fur of its paw. Since pets aren't allowed in my
apartment, this is the next best thing.
My
Mother
By:
gothicchick1313@yahoo.com
When
I was 14 my mother was diagnosed with cancer.
She
made it but when I was 18 she relapsed.
This was
in
August. From what my cousin told me she
was doing
good
if she made it through October. The only
thing
that
she wanted(and she told everyone this) was one
more
Christmas. She got it. But on
she
died. Two days after her funeral I was
sitting at
home
trying to deal with everything that has happened.
At
from
work(she worked up until a week before she died)
our
back door came open and I heard footsteps over my
mothers
beloved hardwood floor and her hair stared to
rock. At
foot
steps again. At
and
all was quiet.
My mother loved Christmas and even
though she
got
her last Christmas she wasn't done. In
the 11
months
from the time of her death till Christmas I had
gotten
engaged. Every Christmas my family takes
pictures
everyone had normal pictures in 2002 but me
and
my Dad. In most of my pictures there was
an
angel. And in one picture of me and my fiance was a
figure
that looked like my mothers face. And
next to
my
mother was my grandmother and a third figure that
didn't
get to come through.
I wasn't the only one that saw my
mother. My
grandfather
hasn't been the same since he saw them.
He
last his wife my mothers mother on February 1,
1988.
And his daughter on
asking
for her mother two days before she died it was
one
of the last things she spoke besides a prayer.
My
Tales
By:
severus12000@yahoo.com
I
have been a fan of Shadowlands for several years now. So, I thought I would send my events to be
added to these chronicles. I have many...from family members and friends alike
along with my own. Here they are:
1.
I had this dream early May of 1992. In it I was standing outside at my
Grandparent's house and it was almost dark. The sky was gray as if it was about
to storm and the wind was warm and blowing. Suddenly, a coroner wagon pulled
into the neighbor's yard and the coroner got out and asked my Grandfather to
help in removal of the body, to which he did. I thought that the husband of my
Grandfather's double first cousin had died and they removed him on a gurney
under a white sheet. Well, when they walked past me...his hand fell out from
under the sheet. Next, it was later and dark outside. I thought I was in my
Grandparent's house and I was sitting at the table and looking out the sliding
glass door. Then, I saw the man who had died earlier walk slowly up the
driveway with his wife behind him. They came inside and his wife was so happy
to have him back that she kept saying, "Oh look! He is back!" Then,
she touched his forehead and looked around in fear...and ran out the door. Then
my family said, "Oh dear Lord, no!"
However, the man paid them no heed...he looked at me and walked towards
me. Then I noticed that it wasn't really who I thought it was but a different
man. He wore black rimmed glasses and a brown flannel shirt with pants. I woke
up freaked out over the dream. Later that same month the man who I thought was
dead...actually died in real life! Next, in Sept. that year, my Aunt's Dad died
and when I we to look at him in the casket...he had black rimmed glasses and a
brown flannel shirt with pants!!!! I left the funeral home white as a sheet. I
instantly thought of the dream.
2.My
Grandmother (who is a very level headed and sensible person) had a very strange
thing happen to her three nights in a
row.
In 1996, in June, she had to be put into the hospital for her leg. Well, that
night we all got a an urgent phone call from the nurse and we rushed to be by
my grandmother's side.
I
had never seen her so afraid in my life! It frightened me. So, I knew that she
had to have seen something strange...I sat down by her bedside and asked her to
talk about it. She told me that in the next room there had been a lady walking
around like she was busy cleaning or something. No one seemed to notice this
woman except my Grandmother. So, she asked the nurse who she was...the nurse
assured her that no one was there!
Second
night-the same thing happened. Only this time the lady slowly turned to face
her......
third
night-the lady turned around and my Grandmother swore that her face was blurred out! But the woman
physically turned a fan off! Where her face should've been was a blur!! So, My
Grandmother was scared. However, she got up the nerve to wave to the
woman.....but she said the lady did not wave back -and she got the distinct
impression that the lady was sad. This scared the crap out of me!!
3.In
May of 1991, I was sitting on my porch in bright sunshine....
When
out of the corner of my eye I saw a big black reaper figure. It was over six
feet tall and it just stood there. I could see the folds in it's robes! So, I
looked again and it was gone.
Later
that day a woman who lived up the road from us shot and killed her husband!! I
was creeped out pretty badly.
4.This
is about an object I saw. My Brother had just introduced me to his friend in
July 1992. (This is the same friend who heard the growl in his hallway) Well,
the 3 of us were walking towards my brother's and my house, talking, as it was
getting late.
We
had to walk thru an alley which had a train track on a hill (not too big of a
hill) Across the track on our left, there was a house with a hedge there. I
looked at the hedge and saw the creepiest
thing!!
It
was a big round globe-like thing (looked like the planet saturn) on a long
black robe! As we passed this house it turned and watched us go!
My
brother looked but saw a black robed figure sitting on the train tracks(nothing
in on the hedge!) Our friend saw a flash of white light in the tree tops. All
of us were looking athe same place and NONE of us saw the exact same thing!!
This scares me to this day! We still
don't know what it was or why we saw what we did.
5.My
husband's cousin is a special child-
and
he has the gift of seeing spirits....
Well,
one night back in 1999-His mother
and
brother were over at my house playing
video
games and D comes over and sits down
to
play. The next instant he says he saw a ghost.
It
woke him up! He drew a picture of a coffin
(in
his eyes it was a box) that had a latch on it.
He
said the sun shone on it and the water fell on it....
he
tried to make us understand what he was shown.
Well,
In April, 2000 They were over and it was dark
outside.
Well, D suddenly walked down to my light
(dusk-to-dawn
light) and leaned against it as if he
was
deep in conversation with someone. I watched him
talking
to nothing! So, I went out there to ask him
whom
was he was speaking to and he got all upset and wanted
me
to go inside Then he touched the light post and I swear
that
light went out as pretty as you please!. He came in
after
me and said a man was there wearing all black and
with
a frown. He scared D. Afterwards, D would see strange
sights
and he still does. Now D was close to his Aunt
(my
Husband's Mother) Well, she passed away on
and
the sun shined and it rained!! We think he saw
Death
and spoke to him.
6.On
but
I was lying awake in bed. Suddenly,
I
watched as a huge black shadow swept
through
the room and took the form of a man!
He
stood at the foot of our bed and I nudged
George
awake and he said "I see it!" Then,
it
receded back and left. (we later found out
that
the mother of one of his Aunts by marriage
had
died at that time) Needless to say it made
our
hair stand up!! It left a
depressing
atmosphere.
7.My
Mother has dreams of death and they usually come true. If she dreams of
caskets, someone dies. In 1986, she dreamt of attending a funeral and crying
what seemed like buckets of tears. She saw her Father in a brown suit and saw
her Sister.in.law bring in a plate of fried chicken on a blue willow plate. In
the blue casket was her uncle who looked much younger. In 1987, Mom lost her
husband to a Heart attack....he was put in a blue casket. Her Dad wore a brown
suit...and she watched her Sister.in.law bring in fried chicken on a blue
willow plate.
8.
My Mother-in-Law told me of seeing her own MiL walk around her front porch and
ask where her son was and why they weren't with her, that she needed them.
Thing is...my Mother-in-Law was in KY at the time and her MiL was in
9.When
I was 13 years old, I lived in
an
old two story house. Everyone
claimed
it was haunted and my Mother
could
sense a presence in it.
Well,
the people who lived in it before,
moved
after spending only one night in it...
because
the lady had seen a woman standing
wringing
her hands saying she was cold....
Well,
one September day, my brother & I
were out
playing
in our front yard, while Dad was gone and
Mom
was sitting on the porch.
((NO
ONE ELSE WAS IN THE HOUSE!)) Our dog started
looking
up at my bedroom window on the second floor
and
I looked up and saw my bedroom light was on and
my
curtain was parted and the shadow of a small lady
was
staring down at us! I told my brother to look up
and
he saw it, too. Next, we looked at each other then,
back
up and saw that the light was off and the curtain was
closed
and the lady was gone! We were spooked and we
still
talk about t to this day.
10.My
parents were in
They
lived in an upper apartment which was high from the ground. Well, one morning
at
11.I
was asleep
one
morning-when I heard three sharp
knocks
on a door....well, I thought
Mom
was doing something so I got up
to
check. No one was in the house,
but
me! I went to both doors and no
one...then,
it dawned on me that the
knocks
had been on my bedroom door!
(I
had a glass door) I felt my blood
drain
to my feet!! So, I called my
Grandmother's
house and told Mom to
get
home as fast as she could! Next,
I
sat down and closed my eyes until
she
came in. She says I was whiter
than
this paper. I was very scared,
this
happened in March of 1991.
On
Halloween of 1991, my Dad's
Mother
died. I think the knocks
were
warning me of her death.
12.My
friends, Husband and I have a ghost on video tape.
13.In
July of 2001, I had a nightmare about a plane crashing at my Grandparent's
house and two huge walls of fire moving around them. (My Grandparent's
anniversary is 9-11!! Also, my husband had a dream about an earthquake. Well,
this was in August of 2001--Later that day, we went to a park and we heard some
people talking about the 1811 EQ that hit the New Madrid fault and shook bells
in
These
are a few things that have happened around my family, friends and myself. I
have more. ~

I
thought I would send another encounter of my own which happened in a rental
house in
