Branch Brook Park

 

By: Poetic_Princess63@hotmail.com

 

There is a part towards Belleville still in the Newark area of the park. I and several other couples thru out our younger years used to go to. Sort of the make out spot in Branch Brook Park. My boyfriend and I were making out when something or someone about 7 to 8 feet tall wearing a lumber jack shirt it looked like came at us. His eyes are evil and his hands are huge. Beware for if you ever encounter this creature, wild man or whatever that was that night that I saw may attack you as well. As we were kissing in the car this deranged animal attacked the car. My boyfriend instructed me to start the car while he distracted him away from it. I gave him a baseball bat and I was so terrified I swore it would kill my boyfriend. As it ran into the wooded are of the park it shreeked so intensely that my hair stood on end and my tears came down. True story. Beware. Other people I know had it happen to them as well.

 

 

 

Brandon Township Mi

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.

By: ajdaigle@adelphia.net

 

 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 .; 2:13 am a house in

rome on foss hill was reported on fire. and ther was nothing left. the fire

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 maine; my cell phone number is 1-207-649-0790; i got a couple other

Haunted Property

 

By: bugnanny@bellsouth.net

 

 

I have property in Starke, Florida. We moved there in 1989, at that time we had a septic tank installed. My daughters went out to go to school one morning and at the corner of the property I had planted a Juniper tree and there was a young boy in suspender jeans picking the berries off of the tree. As the girls approached him asking him what he was doing, the boy disipated right in front of their eyes. They screamed and I came out and they told me what happened. The whole day I was at the home alone and the dogs just kept barking at the tree all day.

 

 

 

 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 8:00pm and 9:00pm.

 

 

 

 I just saw a Ghost

 

By: PIPboyMoir@aol.com

 

 

This just happened a bit ago (4 hours, tops). But first I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Kyle, and I'm 18 years old, 19 in January. I live in Oregon in the Willamette Valley with my dad and step mom. Alright, down to business. We've lived in our current house for almost two full years now and up until recently everything was normal. About a month ago my step mom tells me that she saw a ghost in the dining room (she's not afraid of them, she's seen a few others before this one, and she's even said good morning to this one), but I thought she was joking. She told me what he did and described his looks too. I still thought she was pulling my chain. UNTIL a few hours ago. I was in the laundry room when I looked out the window and saw a man walk right past the window. Now mind you, we're a gun toting family. So I went to the closet with the guns (in laundry room) and grabbed an unloaded rifle to scare the intruder off. When I went into the dining room he was standing right outside the sliding glass door to the deck outside. He was a stalky, but not fat man with a regular hat and a flannel jacket and jeans. He had dark brown hair with a good amount of facial hair. Picture a construction/rail/trucker worker from maybe the 70's or 80's. With him was a medium sized black lab. Then he made a motion of opening a door, but he wasn't grabbing anything at all. He was grabbing more toward the center of the class door. We do know this house was remodled before we moved in. Then he walks through the closed sliding door and into the dining room. During all of this I am frozen with disbelief and stunned and he's not even looking at me (I don't think he could see me at all). As soon as he got into the house he started to fade. He made it about 7 feet before totally disappearing. I described it to my step mom when she got home, and she said it was the same man, and that what he did is the same thing every time. She thinks the man was killed in a car wreck while he was on his way home and thats why he keeps returning here and vanishing when inside. We haven't dug up any info yet, but we think this used to be his house. After it was over, I went to the couch, sat down and just spaced out. I was pretty freaked out. When I turned to look at the clock, I saw that I'd been thinking about what had happened for over 2 1/2 hours

 

 

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!           

 

 

 

Maggie

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 February 2, 2002

she died.  Two days after her funeral I was sitting at

home trying to deal with everything that has happened.

 At 1:15 pm the normal time that my mother came home

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 1:50 her chair stopped rocking and I heard

foot steps again.  At 1:55 the back door opened again

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 February 2, 2002 after

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 2/14/01

and the sun shined and it rained!! We think he saw

Death and spoke to him.

6.On Feb. 22, 2001- My husband was asleep-

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 Ohio, being put into a hospital at that time!!

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 Germany in the early 1970's (they got divorced in '75)

They lived in an upper apartment which was high from the ground. Well, one morning at 4:00 am, he was up shining his shoes. (Was in the Army) Now, it is still dark outside and he happened to glance at the window. There, he saw his long dead Mother holding a stick and telling him that if he didn't do better that she'd use that stick on him. My Mom said he was as white as snow when he woke her to tell her about it. (He ended up in prison)

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. Sept 20, 2003-we were at our friend's funeral home and his wife was videotaping us during a ghost hunt. Well, we all got creeped out pretty badly and had an eerie feeling that something was there. I also saw someone jump out of the embalming room when no one was in there. Well, on the tape, it shows us talking and a black shadow walking rapidly through us nd the shadow goes by my face!! That was wild!! We are going back there this Halloween to see if we can do it again...

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 Boston, MA. We freaked and went home...but my husband was sure it meant the world would mourn. Then of course...9-11 happened.

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 Aurora, Colorado back in 1997.  I lived in this house as a renter for approximately 9 months.  It was a small 19
