Indiana... Merrilville's reeder road.

By: pardonek@insightbb.com


Im a native of Hammond, which is very close to Merrilville.  I have been to reeder road many times, and actually know a different story of the road.  The ones i saw on your sight are new to me.  My parents told me this story long ago, and although i have not expierienced it for myself, i know others who claim they have.  This may be more of a local story, but who knows, its still something id like to share.
Back in the 1950s the road was often used by teens and young adults as a private make out place.  The story goes that a young lady, and her boyfriend made a stop at the road.  While they were parked there they heard a thumping on top of the car...  They ignored it for a bit, but the girl started to become creeped out as the noise grew louder.  The boyfriend decided he would get out and investigate.  When he got out the thumping stopped.  After several minutes the boyfriend had not yet returned, and the thumping started again.  The girl paniced and got out of the car.  When she got out, she found her boyfriend bloody and hung from a tree, and the thumping she was hearing, was the sound of her boyfriends feet hitting the top of the car as he hung there dead.  Supposedly on warm summer nights if you pull off onto the road and park for a bit you will hear the thumping, and if you get out to investigate the thumping will stop and you will find a lettermans jacket hanging from the tree above you.
There is also an abandoned school out in cedar lake, where Hammond Baptist used to attend.  The story goes that the pastor went crazy and killed some of the children there.  I personally have expierienced strange happenings in the school, such as childrens voices, windows that were shut on the way in open as we walked back out... supposedly its supposed to be the children trying to escape.  From what I understand, a few years ago part of the building caught fire inexplicably.  I have not been there in about 5 years.  However if you would like some directions to the place, its a little tricky to get to, and i would be happy to share them with you if you are interested.
Like i said, this is a story passed on to me by my parents, and others i know also know the story and claim the have witnessed it.  I also know of satanic gatherings in the field down the trail in the woods.  Usually occuring during the 2 equinox's every year, this may explain some of the animal parts found.  Also in this field, i have seen glowing orbs here and there, but never thought much of them since they were far out in the field, but you may be able to look into this more than i can.  Anyhow, i hope you enjoyed the story i shared, and maybe would like to add it to you site.  Anyways, if you have any questions, comments, or would like directions, feel free to e-mail me back and ill be happy to impart whatever knowledge i have to you... Thanks, oh and great site i liked seeing some of the storys i know of.  Oh and the girl that jumped into the river and drowned... its a hammond story... she can be seen on holloween night, on cline ave, hitch hiking trying to get to her wedding... supposedly if you pick her up, she thanks you for the ride and dissappears.




Mr Baker

By: Divadevilchild@aol.com
 

My name is Gemma. I went to a primary school in a small village where I lived for a year or 2. Then we had to move into a town nearby. It wasn't to far away from my friends so sometimes i would catch the bus there. One day i went up to see my friend Holly. She told me that my old deputy head teacher had just died. I dont know how old he was but apparently he got murdered! That night Holly asked me to stay at her house for the night so I did. We were only about 10 at the time. Her parents were down stairs and her two little brothers were both asleep. We were the only people awake upstairs. Holly went downstairs to get something to eat for me and her and left me alone. I decided to play a trick on her. I turned all the lights off and hid under her bed in her room. I looked around. I was really scared. So i looked up and saw two eyes looking at me. They were glowing. At that point i closed my eyes thinking it was just my imagination but when i opened my eyes they were still there. I stayed under the bed because i didn't want to move. Then i heard holly coming up the stairs. The eyes backed away into the darkness and i backed away and hid again. When Holly came in the room I jumped out and scared her. I told her about the eyes and she believed me. Then she said lets take a look inside the wardrobe. So we both opened it slowly and took a look inside. Funnily enough nothing was in there except from her clothes and stuff. So we both decided that it was me seeing things because it was dark. Later that night Holly turned the lights off and we both went to sleep. I couldnt get to sleep and i kept on looking over at the wardrobe. I was lied there with my eyes wide open when suddenly i saw the eyes again. Looking over at me. I slid under my covers. When i looked out they had gone but i could feel something in the room. I new something was there. Suddenly a black figure appeared infront of me. It lied down and then i saw the eyes. It was staring right at me. I screamed which woke Holly up and she suddenly backed away against the wall. We could both see the black figure on he floor. Then it seemed to sink into the ground and dissapear. We both went downstairs and stayed there for a couple of hours. We talked about the figure for ages. Then i said it reminded me of something! Holly said that as well before we both realised that it looked likemr baker... Why would he haunt us though?? We'll never know...



Tukwila, Washington

By: AtkinsM@aol.com
 
In 1954, my family rented a small one bedroom home on the banks of the Duwamish river in Tukwila, WA.  It was all we could afford so we made do.  I was 7 years old at the time and had two sisters, each a year apart on either side.  My sisters slept in the single bedroom while my parents converted the dining room into a bedroom with sliding curtains.  I was supposed to sleep in the bathroom behind the metal shower where there was just enough room for a cot.  I rarely spent an entire night there.
We learned pretty quickly that this house was not "normal" because of strange things happening from the beginning.  Poltergeist type activity such as thr rocking chair beginning to rock on it's own and the TV coming on to static, all on it's own.  My mother was a "stay-at-home" mother so she was the one, along with us kids, who usually witnessed all of this.  My father was typically skeptical.
Quite often I would end up in bed with my parents.  Late one night, from my parents bed, I had to get up and go to the bathroom.  To get to the bathroom, one had to go through my sister's bedroom.  It was dark as I trudged into my sister's bedroom, headed for the bathroom.  As I entered the bedroom, I bumped into someone I didn't see.  It was a very noticeable crash into a human body, not hard furniture.  In fact, whomever I bumped into, I surprised as they gave out a gasp and then the sound of them falling onto my sister's bed could be heard.  I remember saying "oh - excuse me" and then I turned on the light as the switch was right there at the door.  What I saw next scared the crap out of me.  NO ONE WAS THERE - MY SISTERS WERE UNDER THE COVERS AND SOUND ASLEEP.  Shortly after that - I had everyone in the house awake.
In this same house, my mother said she would often wake in the night with a very "heavy" feeling as if someone was sitting on her chest and whispering in her ear.  My dad scoffed at all this.  Then one night, it happened to him -the heavy feeling on the chest and whispers in the ear.  We moved shortly after that.  This was in 1954.  Right after we moved, the house was torn down and The Riverside Inn  was erected in it's place, which has been there for the last 51 years.  I've been in the Riverside a few times and often wondered if it had strange happenings.  I've never asked anyone there.

My Personal Story

By: corgiluv22@yahoo.com

In early Autumn of 1999, my parents asked me to house sit, (and dog sit), as they had to visit my younger sister who was in her last year of college in Pittsburgh. I had the most terrifying experience of my life that night-- that I have never forgotten even after 5 years.
I agreed to help my parents, and after work friday afternoon, I stopped off to rent movies at Blockbuster--American Pie, and The Exorcist. I had seen the Exorcist many times before, but I heard they added bonus Interviews to the beginning and I wanted to see that.
It was a normal evening as I watched both movies. After the movies, I decided to call my boyfriends to say goodnight to him. We had a lengthy conversation. We somehow got into the discussion of the movie The Exorcist. His grandparents are Iraqi and part of the movie takes place in Iraq etc. It wasn't a scary conversaton at all. It was more of a theological discussion about different religious beliefs. He told me about how Iraqi people believe in "Jins" just like Christians believe in Demons etc....
We ended the conversation talking about light hearted things, and just normal everyday things.
I decided to call it a night and was got washed up, and just as I was about to flush the toilet, I heard a distinct raspy vioce and it said, "Hiiiiiiii Annaaaaaa" (Hi Anna) in a very "taunting" or teasing way. Simeltaneously I felt a chilll go from the base of the spine to the back of my neck. I was literally paralyzed with fear! My heart was racing, and I was so stunned that I physically could not move for a good 10 seconds. I ran downstairs and made my dog come up and sleep in my room. I also slept with 2 rosaries that night and a crucifix. I was scared out of my mind for the entire night.
Nothing else ended up happening, and when my parents came back they scoffed at me of course.
I still ask myself to this day: "Did I provoke some kind of spirit by talking about religion and the occult?
What bugs me is, I wasn't even thinking of anything remotely paranormal when I heard the voice. It was an AUDIBLE voice. I am 100% sure. I also couldn't tell whether or not the voice was male or female because the sound was too raspy.
I am 29 years old and that is the only strange or "paranormal" thing that has ever happened to me. I still remember it like it was yesterday and swear to God its a true story, and to this day I still cannot explain how or why that happened. I know one thing, I don't ever want to experience that level of fear again in my life.



My Father's Ghost

By: Way2BombIsBack@aol.com


I've always wanted to share this story but never knew anyone to appreciate it.  My father and I never really got along.  As a teenager, I was constantly at odds with him and when he passed almost 8 years ago, I felt more relief than anything.  All my dad ever wanted was to be a grandpa.  He was at the end of his working years and already had one grandson (from my brother).  He had moved us into a new home and died 2 months exactly after we moved in.  We moved in on July 4, 1997 and he died September 4, 1997.  He gave us just enough time to settle in and make sure we would be fine without him.  I had tried for a few years to get pregnant when my dad was alive but for some reason it never happened.  I was young when all of this was going on so it was for the better.  I wasn't even 18.  I believe he died so I could have my son.  I ended up getting pregnant within 2 weeks of my dad's death.  Obviously, my son never knew his grandfather.  Throughout the years though, Gabriel (my son) has said he talks to his "PopPop".  I've never really talked much about my dad because of our unsteady relationship so some of the things Gabriel comes up with baffle me.  I don't know where to start.  I guess the first time I realized they had a connection was when my son was less than 2 years old.  We were at my brother's house and looking at the pictures on the wall.  He was naming the person in each picture.  We came to a framed photograph of my father and when I asked my son who that was he said "My PopPop".  Now, at this point, I had NEVER mentioned my dad or anything about him.  I never kept pictures of him.  I was stunned but I just kept on going, as if it were no big deal.  Several months after that, I heard Gabriel playing in his room and carrying on a conversation unlike the play ones kids have with themselves.  I went in there to ask who he was talking to and he said his PopPop.  I asked him where his PopPop was and he pointed up towards the ceiling and said he was up there, watching us.  Remember, this is all before he was 2 years old.  I didn't know what to think so again, I just let it go.  Now, as the years passed, Gabriel will sometimes cry for his PopPop as if he knew him and he misses him.  I mean real tears, to the point of almost hysterics.  He'll tell me how much he misses his PopPop and ask why his heart had to stop "beeping" (he means beating, my dad died of heart disease).  Everytime he does this I always remind him that he never knew his grandfather but he will insist that he does, that my dad visits him.  One time, Gabriel was sitting at the kitchen table (probably about 4 years old) drinking a mug of hot cocoa.  He said, "Look Mom.  My PopPop drinks his coffee like this."  And he held the mug in the exact same manner as my father.  Then he said, "My PopPop drinks lots of coffee.  He has funny black teeth right here and he wears glasses."  He then pointed to the top two front teeth.  It's true.  My dad did have "funny teeth" and wore glasses.  He had a bridge that he very rarely wore so when it wasn't in place there was a black space.  At this point, the only picture he'd seen yet was the one at my brother's house and in it, he was wearing his dentures.  Gabriel always talks about my dad in the present even though I've explained he's no longer with us.  There's other things that have happened but most of the time I just don't connect them unless I sit down and really think about it all.  Gabriel will start to "act funny" on special anniversary dates so I'm sure my dad is making a visit and checking in on us during those times.  Sometimes, I'll notice my dad's presence also.  Last year, it would have been my parents 25th wedding anniversary.  As I was walking to my car in the morning I felt as if I was walking with a warm cloud surrounding me.  It was a chilly, crisp day in January but I felt this warmth around me while I walked thru the colder air.  Later, I was writing the date at work and realized what day it was and figured it must have been my dad visiting me in the morning.  If you're interested in knowing more, please feel free to email me back and I'd love to share.  I just thought this might be worth sharing. 


My Experience

By: ZEPPULON@aol.com


I was visiting my parents home in Athens, Louisiana several years ago. My mother was visiting an aunt and my wife was watching tv with my dad. It is a large two story house that was built in the late 1800s. I was in the large room playing a piano when I felt some one lean on my shoulder, I thought that it was my wife placing her hands on my shoulder. I turned to look at her but there was no one there, I immediately went to the living room, my wife could tell something was wrong with me, before I could tell her what had happened the room was filled with an overpowering scent of roses, this was in the dead of winter.As quickly as the scent came it went away.  We looked for an explanation but there were none.
Since then both of my parents have passed away and the house is abandoned. I was there last fall gathering up pecans and heard a noise like furniture being moved across the floor. There have been other occurrences like the windows in a bedroom being raised  when they should have been closed,and the wind blowing the curtains. Other guest have experienced freaky things there especially in one particular room we all called the ghost room. My mother said she watched lights dance on the lawn outside her window. I don't go there anymore except to relocate flowers and gather pecans.


Hauntings

By: Dita1207@aol.com

I am a current student of California Sate University Channel Islands, formerly Camarillo State Mental Hospital.  The hospital was established in the late 1930’s and treated many different forms of mental health issues, addictions and cared for the mentally and severally disabled.  About one third of the hospital has had interior renovations and is currently being used.  When the hospital was fully function it was completely self sufficient, including a working hospital with a morgue and a dairy.  This beautiful location was ideal fro creating a new California State school when the hospital closed sometime in 1997.
I once visited the hospital in the early 1990’s while it was still functioning.  Now, more then ten years later I have returned to attend school.  The history of this location has many curious and egger to explore, this includes myself.  The currently unused portions of the old hospital still have electricity and water running through them.  Most of the windows and doors to the building are open.  There are several no trespassing signs posted every few feet and the abandon buildings have constant police surveillance.  Yet many of us have been able to still enter and explore.  I worry about sharing this because I fear others will attempt to visit the campus and do some investigating of their own.  I encourage further education ones self, but I am adamantly apposed to those who wish to visit to do harm to the buildings.  This is an incredibly beautiful old facility that deserves respect and protection.  I take great pride in it and do what I can to care for it and educate others.  
Much of the abandon buildings have been completely emptied of any furniture or amenities.  I did find several rooms that still had curtains up and pictures from magazines or drawings hanging on walls.  Through most of the building I did not experience other then a few drafts of air or a noise.  However, I did experience something that is hard to explain while visiting the old children’s ward.  Up many stairs and through several rooms you come to what looks like a recreation/school room of some sort.  There are still a few children’s drawings on the walls.  You then enter into another long narrow room with a nurse’s station on the far end.  Once you reach the nurses station and turn right you come to two doors.  One straight ahead, and one directly to the right.  The door directly ahead is referred to as the “black room.”  It is a very small room, no bigger then 10x10.  It is painted all black from floor to ceiling.  There are small black cubbyholes and a small black bench.  In the very center of the room is a very tall, very narrow, very deep white tub on a black platform.  There is a white linen sheet that can be pulled around to enclose the tub.  Directly in front of the tub and above it are two large mirrors, so that in a person where to lay in the tub the only thing they could see was themselves directly above and ahead of them.  The room next to the black room was incredibly small and narrow with three showerheads next to one another.  Both rooms felt rather warm to me, but other than feeling incredibly uncomfortable I experienced nothing.  As I head back out, past the nurses station, into the large room, the best I can explain is that I suddenly became very dizzy.  I sort of stumbled my way across the room and back to the door connecting to the recreation room.  With both hands on the door, bracing myself I looked back into the room.  I felt like the room was zipping around me in a circle, I looked up to the ceiling where there are several ceiling fans on.  I looked at the fan furthest away from me, near the nurse’s station, and it seemed to suddenly stop spinning.  I felt a wave of heat come over me, and then freezing cold.  I felt like I could not get my footing although I was standing completely still and holding onto the door.  I let go of the door and stepped out of the room where I immediately felt perfectly fine.  I have since told this to others who have explored this building and they explained that they have had similar experiences. 
Before leaving the children’s ward I entered into another section of the building.  It was rather windy that day and because all the windows and doors to all the buildings are opened, it can become quite drafty, but nothing to cause any discomfort.  I felt nothing else as I walked around.  I then came to a closed door, as soon as I opened it a large gust of ice cold wind came rushing out and over me.  I assumed this was from all the open windows and doors, but as I peered into the room not a single window was open.  The room was several degrees colder, to the point where I was freezing and uncomfortable.  I could not find any explanation into the temperature change and immediately left the room.
I recently visited a steam room that is down below another abandon building.  From ground level one can hear a great deal of noise that sounds like banging pipes, but once you head below ground you find a room that is completely empty with no pipes.  The sounds can still be heard, but slightly stifled.  In that steam room there is a large cut out on one of the walls.  While nothing was seen while there, later, pictures showed a light source appear that was not there at the time.  It is a small stream of light that is different in every picture, and not in some pictures.  The building that is above the steam room has a lot of noises similar to the pipes but you can also hear doors slam closed.  While watching through a window I have heard this noise, yet no doors are closed.  Every time the noises are verbally acknowledge a noise that sounds like a human voice/moan/mumble can be heard from outside the window. 
I hope to further explore more of this beautiful place, while respecting its past and those who have come here before me.  I have no professional training and do not claim any of my experiences to be facts or proof of any sort of paranormal.  I have amateur photographs that show things I cannot explain.  I have in no way gone out to find anything or prove anything, but through my exploring things have been brought to me that make me question what I see.  I hope others enjoy these experiences ass much as I have

My name is Pamela Titus and I lived at 918 Cothran Rd. I have tried living in the home three times and whatever is there doesn't seem to want me there.
One Christmas in 1999 I had taken some pictures of the family and when I had them developed ,behind my son-law were 3 mirrors,In those  appeared somesort of demon looking face and 3 numbers of 6 . I had a shitzu puppy that would start in that room and stop.The room would get ice cold and you could feel a presence in the room. One night I had some family members stay and all 6 of them wound up in bed with me. I don't know , nor can I explain  of the voice that came through the hallway at 12 one night telling me to leave,The air was so cold in the hall, goosebumps covered me. I ran into the bedroom and told my husband but he was sound asleep. I don't know what happened in that house but something evil I believe lives there...



Ghost

By: mgarza@wi.rr.com

When I was growing up in Indiana in the 60's my parent bought a house in Hammond IN.  I recall many times sitting in the living watching tv when I would hear footsteps upstairs in the attic bedroom.  We never really thought much of it because my dad was usually sleeping upstairs.  One day, I must have been about 10 yrs old and my two uncles and my aunt were staying with us.  My parents had gone out and we were sitting in the living room watching tv when we heard footsteps upstairs again.  This time we knew something was going on because there was NO ONE upstairs. When we went to see what was going on our dog was at the bottom of the stairs with his hair standing on end and growling up the stairs.  Our dog never did go upstairs into the attic and he was 13 yrs old when he died.  It turns out that the previous owner's father died in that bedroom and I suspect it was his footsteps that we heard.



Experiences from the Laguna reservation

By: Cluarkie@aol.com


I was very young when I began to experience what would be the start of several incidences. Even to this day my friends laugh when I tell them that because of what I witnessed I'm almost petrified of the dark. 
At five my family lived in a trailer in Parajie, one of nine villages on the Laguna reservation. In the living room we had two wooden shelves attached to the wall by a general 'hook and track' set up. There were slots along the length of each of the two tracks making the height of the shelves ajustable.  There were hooks on the end of each brace securing the shelves in place and in order for the shelves to fall forward they would have to "jump" up and over, clearing a height of at least 11/2 inches. Twice I had been within two feet of these shelves with my back facing them when the next thing I hear is this enormous crash of the shelf and everything on it in pieces all over the floor. Only one shelf fell each time. The first time I was alone in the living room and the other my parents were sitting at the table.
One last event that happened in this trailer was the sounds. The walls were paper thin but yet what I heard that day scared me so much that it took me some time to muster enough will power to run outside the house. I was sitting in the living room playing when I heard the muffled chatter of voices, followed by heavy thuds that could have been loud enough that if someone had been sitting in the last room on the opposite side of the house they could have heard it but like I said all this was muffled so much so that it sounded so far away yet all this was coming from the next room. I could not understand anything that was being said but I could make two voices that stood out from the rest, a deep voiced male, a moderately toned female over-powering what seemed to be a room full to people, like you would hear standing behind a thick concrete wall opposite a crowed restaurant. This happened in broad daylight and the front door was about five feet away. I ran about 100 yards to my aunts and didn't go back over until I knew that there was someone home.
It didn't take too long for me to share what happened here with my brothers, sisters and cousins. I told my parents about what happened but they didn't seem to care about it in any way. In daylight or especially at night I never liked that room.
We moved several times before finding a place in Mesita, yet another village. It was low rent housing. I was nine and the kids thing to do was gather up our friends, some blankets, some munchies, some music and sleep on top of either ours or our neighors roofs. It was one night that the crashing shelves would make one final call. Unlike the first two incidents I was just getting on top of the neighbors roof 30 yards away when I heard this loud crash. I could see into our living room and noticed two brackets sans one shelf. That was it, it was over, for now.
I would just like to point out that our location was so baron that we were far from any major highway. The surface streets at the time were wide gravel paths. There no vibration like that of a heavy ton truck or a low-flying aircraft. I became interested in generally studying the paranormal when I was around twenty and came to the conclusion that maybe these incidents were PK or poltergeist in nature.
Moving again from low rent housing to new housing was where I would experience another incident that would be my last for some time. I was in my middle-teens and unfortunately I was the only one in the house that night. I remember this well. I was lying on the love seat watching the Arsenio Hall show. All my attention was on the show until I heard heavy breathing. Already I got scared and didn't move. From the position of the love seat I could only hear the breathing and not see the source that this was coming from - at the time my decision was that I didn't want to. From the location I figured that it was coming from a chair that was next to the dining room table. The table was right behind me and the chair was in back of the table to the right against the wall by the securely closed and will insulated sliding door. This breathing was inside the house, slow and deep and as clear as can be. This lasted a little over a minute. After this ended it took some time for me to readjust before my attention slowly came back to the applause on Arsenio.
I thought that was the end of my ordeal for the night but just as my heart sank down out of my throat and back down to my chest this small shadow about the size of a football floated quietly from behind the love seat about three or so inches above the floor and went straight torward the fireplace but did not rise. This black haze passed through the metal chain curtain without making a sound simultaniously fading away. I stared at the fireplace for about thirty minutes while keeping an ear out for any more breathing. Finally I got up and turned every single light on inside and outside the house. This was one thing that I couldn't explain.
Many years had passed since then and at least for now I've only encountered one more to add to this. It's was just a minor scare. I moved from the reservation in New Mexico to the big city of San Francisco. Living to my now bad habit of staying up late at night I was watching television when I heard the floor boards upstairs creak with the clacking coming from footsteps. I live in the ground level in-law of a nice house. The lady that stays upstairs lives alone having company every now and then. I know for sure that this night she had no one staying with her. Her living room is located directly above mine and with the exception of a few small rugs the majority of her house is hardwood floor. These footsteps started directly in the middle of the room and only moved in one small area of the room above, even without shoes the late night silence will amplify anything that's heavier than an ant on those noisy floor boards, no one can quietly tip-toe to the middle of the room, make noise then leave just as quietly. This occurance like the breathing only lasted for about a minute.
I knew she didn't have company that night but despite my certainty I went up the following morning to ask her if she did. Her reply was no. She went on to say that earlier that day on the night that I heard the foot steps that she heard someone calling her name from either the kitchen, dining room or the living room. She answered with no reply. She said that it was a man's voice but didn't recognize any other characteristic other than that.
I didn't past this off. I just thought about it as such. Regardless of geography I'm nowhere near being out the woods. I've grasped the fact that this may continue for the rest of my life and I'm quite interested in studying this in more specific detail. I know that there are many facts of nature that may account for some things that happen which are explainable but I don't see how that would apply to all of what I shared here.



Bush House Salem Oregon

By: Thenightrider002@aol.com
 

I used to be a tour guide at the Bush House in Salem oregon.  During the summer of 1999 a movie was flimed there and my boss Paul and I spent the night in the house.  By 1am Paul ws passed out upstairs in his office and I crshed in Mr. Bush's bedroom in the back corner of the downstairs.  From Mr. Bush's bedroom there was a short hallway leading to the kitchen.   there were doors at both ends of it, which i had locked.  In the hallway there was a stair case that leads upstairs to the servents quarters where a caretaker lives.  It was always closed and locked.  In the middle fo the night i heard footsteps on the staircase that goes from the kitchen  to the basement.  the next day I asked the caretaker and Paul neither one of whom had left their sleeping places in the night.  It is thought to have been Mr. Bush's youngest daughter Eugenia who was mentally ill and who died in the house in 1928.



A Face in the Mirror

By: robbob@net-change.com

When I was younger, I moved into a very pretty but old house that hadn't been lived in since the death of it's owner about twenty years before. The house was spectacular, elegant, and sophisticated. The first few months of living in that house, we heard strange sounds, and odd things would happen (lights would turn off, doors would close, ect.). We ignored it, thinking it was just a typical old house. Well, my sister, brother-in-law and nephew were visiting and they layed my nephew down for a nap in one of the spare rooms in the back of our house. We never really used that section of the house. My brother-in-law went to check on my nephew, and glanced into the bathroom on the way. Apparently he saw my stepdad's reflection in the mirror, and even though he found it odd that my stepdad was using the bathroom in that part of the house, he ignored it and came back into our living room. There, he saw my stepdad and the rest of our family sitting on the couch. He seemed confused, and asked if he had just been in the bathroom. My stepdad said no, and we all just laughed it off. About three months later,  my stepdad and I were sitting in the living room watching our usual TV show. We both began to smell wood smoke, and it seemed to be comming from the fireplace. The fireplace hadn't been used since we had lived there. My stepdad is a firefighter, and couldn't help but try to find the source of the smell. We didn't really smell it untill we had gone in the other room that was on the other side of the wall that held the fireplace. There was no heat or other signs of fire, so we were quite interested in what it could be. We went to the previous owners of the house to find out what we could. They were the children of the man who had owned the house. One night there had been a fire, and the owner went downstairs to investigate. He opened the cabinets on the other side of the fireplace, and fire backdrafted into his face and he died. It was the same place that we smelled the smoke. This detail buried us in interest and asked for photos, letters, anything tied with that house. They showed us a picture of the man that had died, and he looked almost alarmingly identical to my stepdad... And my brother-in-law had seen is reflection in the mirror.



The Feelings I had

By: listentothebird@sbcglobal.net

   In 1998...I had a ghost experiance..My first and I hope my last.
I was living in the second floor of a college dormitory. My collegue
that lived directly under me would ask me on occassion if I was moving
furniture late in the night and early morning. Between 12 midnight
and 2 a.m. Absolutely not.I can recall that I moved my bed once in
the middle of the day; when I first moved in at the beginning of the
 semester. I thought maybe it was a ghost because it was common
 knowledge that our domitory was an old TB hospital. The entire
 campus was located on an old military hospital site...Our cafeteria
 was were the morgue was back in World War 1 or 2.
  I never heard anything in my room.
Then early one Saturday morning I got up and made myself coffee
and left the dormitory on the second floor and headed down the old
iron stairs.And made my way across the tennis courts to make a
phone call. I could see my dormitory from where I stood. I dialed
the number and was talking to a freind steadily watching the stairs
to my dorm. That is when I saw a smokey black figure flalling it's
arms around wildly and staring straight at me..Then it went back
intp the locked closed doors of the second floor dorm. They lock
behind each person that leaves.So I reported it to staff. That is
when I started to hear many ghost stories from the nightgaurdsmen that
patroled the cafeteria and hallways.There are many dorm buildings on campus.
 Any how; I put it behind me and c tinued my life.
Shortly after my brother died due to a long illness.
I returned to college but got my own apartment and shared it with
a freind. It would get so cold in there..Heat turned all the way up
and the fireplace on yet it was 70 degrees outside. I was still greiving
so I withdrew from college and took my truck on a long drive cross
country. In Nebraska while at a rest stop my entire truck swarmed
with flies.I am very clean and so wasn't my truck. I was eating
but still swarms of flies. I threw my food away and drove and
drove crying and screaming trying to get them out of my truck.
I stopped and washed my truck. Then got a motel and shower.
 I returned 6 months later to my old apartment to ask around to
see if the new renters had any problem. The lady that opened the door
 was really nice and said that she had to hire someone from another
state to come and clear the ghost.She said it was so bad. That the
person they hired had to have a partner come and help.
  She mentioned the freezing cold room temperatures. The feeling
that someone was following her up the stairs; like I had. She
said they do a certain ceremony and burn certain herbs to clear away
the spirit.She said the landlord had her move in because she did
minor gohst clearing work. But it was too much for her.
She said the people she hired said that the bowl they
used to burn herbs caught fire.The flames reached the ceiling..
It was the worst ghost cleansing they had to do
in a long time..Then the lady did a ceremony over me and the feeling
that someting was hanging on my back just went away. Actually
I felt whatever it was kind of crawl up and out of me. It moved my
spine involuntarly..
I have never had a problem scince..


The Friendly Rollands

By: pfeiffer@powerweb.net

My Name is Darlyn My husband Steven and I bought a house in the Village of Reeseville about 20 years ago.  The house at 218 N. Main St. was built in 1865!
When jacking up and restoring the south porch on our home, my husband found a large pile of ashes...with two
rounded topped tombstones, standing upright in them.
He also unearthed a clay pipe!  While the project was underway...I suggested he dig it up to see what else was there.  He said "No absolutely not, they did things alot
differently 100 years ago...I am putting it back the way I
found it!" 
Ever since that day, pictures are tilted, items are moved, and occassional shadow is caught out of the corner of your
eye, when home alone!
We always say the Rollands have been at it again and
live in harmony with them. 
No records can be found of the family



The Hay Loft

By: WylGav@aol.com


Hi my name is Kim and i am 18 years old i have a few experiences i would like to share with you.
Every summer holidays i used to go to my nana's farm and help out but last time i went which was a few years ago when i was 14 something happened that i've since tried to forget but i think it's about time i shared it with you all.....................
It was a boiling hot July afternoon and i was helping to clean out one of the barns, my nana went after about half an hour complaining that it was "too hot for her liking"  but i decided to stay and try and finish. About 10 minutes after my nana left i began to hear tiny pitter patter of feet in the hay loft. Thinking that it was just mice or something i got on with my work. I began sweeping when i heard laughter and two voices one of a boy and the other a girl talking in hushed whispers.
"Hello is there some one up there?" i asked
i peered up the stairs feeling slightly scared and called again but no one replied as i turned to get back on with my work the voice of the girl called out "quickly up here"
I was quite spooked no one should be up here but the other kids in the village were always mucking around.
"Hey your not aloud up here" i shouted as i walked up the stairs. As i got up to the hay loft i heard an all mighty scream and looked up too see the too silvery children with hooks through their necks blowing in the slight wind.
I completely freaked out and ran screaming to my nanas house. My nana later told me that two young children had died in that barn when they were playing around. My mum came to pick me up the next day and as we drove away i looked back at the barn and saw two little faces staring back from the hay loft window. Needless to say i never went back................
well, that was my first experience and will post my other another time.



The Lemp Mansion

By: redflame41@sbcglobal.net

Just a note, I LOVE your site!
Ok, on with the story...
My mother, her girlfriend (I hope you don't take offense to homosexuals), and I were going to dinner at the Lemp Mansion.  Btw, the food is delicious, I highly recommend it.  And we were seated in a smaller corner room on the left side of the house in the far back.  The entire time, we were on edge and nothing was happening.  So we simply ate and talked. 
At one point, I had to use the bathroom, so I exused myself and went alone.  As soon as I entered, I saw that the bathroom had only two stalls.  I entered one and as soon as I was done, I took a quick look around and I found out I was the only one in there.  The toilets had seat covers, and I had set mine down, while the other was up.  I decided the wash my hands and take my time enjoying the lighting and what not. 
As I was washing them I thought I heard the stall door creak and I turned to find that the doors were as they had been when I had first looked.  So I simply gave a weird look to the stall and continued washing.  As I was finishing up and turning off the water, the sound of a toilet seat slamming onto the rim startled me and I turned to see who made the racket, since I hadn't heard anyone come in.  I saw no one, and looked in both stalls to find that both of the covers were just as I had first seen them, and I was still completely alone.
Thanks for reading!



The Little Girl in the Closet

By: g.palm69@ntlworld.com

My name is Catherine. After the experiances me and my family have had, i know we have a ghost. It all started when I was seven. I couldn't get to sleep, I looked down from my bunkbed for a moment or two and saw, in my bedroom closet which had no door, what seemed to be a little girl, sitting in there,staring at me. She wore a white dress and was underneath either a white blanket or duvet cover. Once me, my mum, and my sister were watching a film in the dark, and suddenly, on the shelve my picture was slammed down. One time my sister said that she had seen the ghost, one night when we had our normal beds. She saw her walk from the closet to the end of her bed, just staring at her. then she flew through the wall. The second time I saw her was when I was out in the kitchen. I saw her out the window, in the shed window, smiling, but there were two faces beside her this time. The most scariest experience I ever encountered, was when I was watching tv. I was sitting down on one of the settee when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, I got scared and turned off the tv to ask who was there. Then, the door creaked open then there was a noise on the other settee like someone was sitting down on it! I was so scared I couldn't move. Nothing else has happened since then but I know our house is haunted for sure, the girl just won't go away...



Theorosa"s Bridge and Our Families Story

By:osirus2be@gmail.com

This is a true story of our families experience at Theorosa's bridge
in Wichita Kansas.
I grew up in Sedgwick Kansas a small town just North of the bridges
location. Since my family is American Indian we always respected the
legend and tales of the bridge.
On May 12th 1983 my own mother was killed in a car wreck within feet
of the old bridge.
The police couldn't explain what caused her to swerve sharply to the
left, however, they agree that "something" must of been in the road in
front of her. Although no animal tracks were ever found and it wasn't
another car.
I was young at the time and awake around midnight with a horrible
dream that I'd been killed (someone had chopped my head off with an
ax).
Later that morning around 4:45 a.m. I was awaked again by someone
pounding on my door. It was the police looking for me, turns out they
found my drivers license in my mom's car. Thinking it was me who died
they came to inform my parents only to find me standing in the
doorway.
Several years later, I was helping my dad go through some papers and
found my mom's death certificate. Only then did I find out that mom's
was thrown through the windshield and decapitated.
Throughout the years as family members and friends have drove by the
site strange things have happened to them. Their cars quit working for
just a few moments or they see things, like my mom standing there
looking at them smiling.
If anyone would like to email me I'd be more then happy to talk to you
about all the strange things I've personally seen.



Theta Chi Fraternity House update - Pontiac / Have A Nice Day Cafe update

By: craig_sharum@yahoo.com

I used to live in that house (as a brother). The fire in the attic was true and strange things did happen. One of the most common had to do with the lights. We had sensors installed to cut back on brothers leaving the lights on. These sensors ONLY reacted to movement. These lights would go on and off all the time when no one would be in the room. We would be several rooms away, far enough from the sensors that we wouldn't set them off, and they would suddenly go on and off.
Also, there were times when we would be sleeping and we would wake up to what sounded like a large social gathering downstairs. Several of us would go down there, thinking it was a group of brothers coming home from the bar, only to find the entire house empty and no one would be around.
Also, I used to work at Have A Nice Day Cafe and the upstairs was indeed haunted. I would have to go up there every night to take down a banner that was thrown over the exterior of the building. To do this I would have to go to the roof, via the upstairs. It is full of rooms, completely empty. There was this long hallway that stretched the length of the building. There was only one light that sat at the end of the hallway. As you walked down the hall you would get the feeling your were being watched. Several bouncers claimed to have seen a man up there. Apparently before it was Have A Nice Day Cafe it was called Industry and one night a bar back committed suicide  upstairs using a broken beer bottle and when the bouncers would make their rounds before closing they would have to go up there to make sure no one snuck up there and when they would flash their flashlights into the room in which the suicide took place, the man/ghost was seen crying and bleeding. Then he would get up and run towards you asking for help. Many bouncers quit after they experienced it.


We Believe it was Her

By: Left70@aol.com


When I was about ten years old I saw an old women in the garden outside my bedroom window.  At the time I did not think anything of it until years later my good friend said that when she stayed the night she woke in the middle of the night because she felt as though something was watching her and she saw an old woman looking at her.  It was then that I realized that what I saw was not my imagination.  My mother was home alone one night with our family dog named Buster and they were on the couch together when she heard a door shut and no one was there.  My mom finally believed us.  Before my parents bought the house a woman had died in our house and we believe it was her.

Stand by My Promise

By: bammers33n3@msn.com

Has our realatives really left us after dyeing?
It was one night while staying at my grandmothers. I was about 11. I was whatching TV in there living room when I heard what sound like my grand father (big, a little chubby and tall) walking through the house, but I didn't bother to look (figuring that it was him). Then I finally said bunkie (what I call my grand father) what are you doing. I was waiting for him to say something like "Oh I'm going to bed", but there was no reply. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a shadow of a man such as my grandfather. but as soon as I got up it faided. I rushed downstairs to the basement were my grand parents were . just bairly out of breath I managed to say to my grand father "were you just up stairs?". he said "No why do you ask?"
about a year befor this happened my beloved great uncle died of a disease in his lungs and his kidneys. After getting out the hospital from an operation he staid with my grand parents and loved it there. After he had went back to work and got his own apartment. He died , found by his ex wife. The day of his funerale I promised never to foget him and never dought  word he said. And I still stand bye my promise today



Spirit in Our Home

By: keiromagoodies@hotmail.com

Growing up in Lakeland Florida my parents purchased a reposessed mobile home.  One of the bedroom doors had a dead bolt lock, but faced so the child in the room could not get out.  My elder sister had this room and reported a small girl about the age of 5 or 6 would appear in a white nightgown carrying a teddy bear.  She would sit at the end of my sisters bed and just cry.  In the closet of my bedroom in the same house, there were stickers and drawings on the wall where it appeared someone was punished and made to sit in the closet.  There were also fingernail scratches on the wall in the same closet.  In the 3rd children's room of the same house, there was brown carpeting with a lime green shape on the floor that was the same shape of a clothes iron.  If an iron fell onto carpeting while it was hot, doesn't it make sense it would just BURN the carpet hair instead of change the color to green?!  My aunt even had to come "remove" a spirit once that was following my little sister all the way to school and hiding behind things when she'd turn around to see who was following her.  My little sister said it resembled a grim reaper type of shadow.  In the same home, items would mysteriously be moved to another area or to another abinet.  Things would come up missing the all of a sudden re-appear one day. 



Redcoats in my Home

By: 10WaitT@kingston-grammar.surrey.sch.uk

This is a story about ghosts or at least a paranormal experience. I heard
noises in my room at first and just thought nothing  but after a few years i
did some research and saw my house used to be a big mansion where redcoats
(british soldiers from Napoeolns time) were billeted.after finding this out
i did not care as i never felt threatend or scared by the noises. Anyway
that night i saw the redcoats.They were not a whitey pale colour but a
greeny eerie colour. They were siting around tables drinking beer and
playing cards. Then one of them saw me and he pointed (i couldnt hear them
just see him pointing at me and his mouth move) they then all looked at me
and one of them drew their sword. Then they dissappeard which i hope meant
that i dissappeared aswell if anyone can remember a story about seeing a boy
in bed from your grandfathers fathers father then it was probably me just
travelling through the space time continuim
also i saw the jfk assination but no-one saw me then and i also saw
Napoleons death so if anyone can recall someone saying that e-mail me at
10waitt@kingston-grammar.surrey.sch.uk (*is from school)
thanks for your time.


My Encounters with Ghosts

By: kitty_campbell31@yahoo.com

My name is Kitty and I m 21 years old. I may have already submitted to
this site years ago, but I can t remember for sure, so I m resubmitting.
My family has always been open-minded about spiritual and paranormal
matters. When I was younger, I had quite a few paranormal experiences, as
did my mom. The most direct contact either of us has had with spirits was
with her father. He died at home (he lived with us) when I was about 4. My
mom was very close to him, and I was pretty close to him for being so
young. After he died, my mom would often be housecleaning and walk into
the room where his old recliner sat, and smell his unique scent, cigarette
smoke mixed with cologne and whatnot. She never saw or heard him, but she
would know he was there and would talk to him for a while. When I was 6,
we moved out of the house he died in and into the house where my mom still
lives. My grandfather decided to come with us. I never had the type of
encounters my mom had with him, but I was lucky enough to see him once.
First, I need to explain the set-up of our house. The front and back doors
are directly parallel to each other, and both have glass panes in them.
The front door opens into the dining room, and you can walk straight
through to the kitchen and then to the back door. You can look from the
front porch all the way into the back yard through the glass in these
doors. When I was about 7, I was standing in the kitchen looking out the
window of the back door, and I could see the reflection of the front door
in the glass. Suddenly, I saw my grandfather walk by the front door in the
reflection, as though he were walking across the front porch. He smiled
and waved at me. The whole thing only lasted a split second, but he was
very deliberately contacting me. I believe he chose to do it in such an
indirect way so as not to frighten me. Maybe he was saying  goodbye  since
I was too young to understand when he actually died. What s strange is
that I described him to my mom as looking younger than he had when he
died, and when she showed me some pictures of him in his 40 s, I told her
that s exactly how he appeared to me. She thinks he must have been
happiest during that time of his life and so chose to appear that way. I
think it was a couple years after that when my mom had her final encounter
with him. She was housecleaning again, when she smelled his familiar odor.
She was in a hurry, and she told him  I m sorry Dad, I can t really talk
right now , and left the room. When she came back in, the scent was gone,
and she just knew that was the last time she would  hear  from him. She
feels guilty that she didn t stop to talk to him, but I think he just
realized that she was ready to move on, and that s why he didn t contact
her again. We do believe that he stuck around for a while after that,
because we would often lose a piece of jewelry or something small, only to
have it turn up right under our noses a few days later. This continued for
years.

I have had other experiences unrelated to my grandfather, but his was the
only (human) spirit I ever actually saw. Not long after we moved into the
new house, I had several experiences with feline spirits. I once saw the
hind legs and tail of a cat disappearing into (not up) the top of the
stairs from the landing. I know it couldn t have been our own cat because
it was pure white, and our two cats were black. Another time, I was
sitting at the kitchen table when I felt a cat rubbing against my legs. I
reached down to pet it, but nothing was there, and when I looked under the
table, there was no cat to be found.
There were also a few incidents in my mom s house where electronics would
do things seemingly on their own. The TV turned itself off at least twice
that I can remember, but perhaps the weirdest instance was when I was in
my bedroom listening to my stereo. It has one of those LED screens that
flashes things as the music plays, and when you turn the volume knob,
these bars show up on the screen that move up or down as you change the
volume. I was listening to music one day, and I had my back to the stereo,
when I realized the volume was getting lower. I turned around, and the
volume display had come up on the screen and the bars were going down like
the knob was being turned. I turned the volume back up, and nothing else
happened after that.
This has gotten long, but I only have one more experience to share. At
another sleepover with my best friend, we decided to leave a tape recorder
with a blank tape in an empty room while we hung out in the living room,
and record whatever there was to hear. No one went in the room while it
was recording, and the door was shut. When we played it back, we could
very faintly hear ourselves in the living room for most of the tape, and
nothing else. But there was one spot on the tape where a high-pitched
voice spoke in a loud, raspy whisper. It was obviously neither of us,
because you could hear us in the background very softly behind it. We
weren t sure what it said, but it sounded like  Shine the light . It
didn t make any sense, but it did creep us out! That was the only
unexplained voice on the tape, which unfortunately I no longer have. That
was the last experience I had that I m certain had no physical
explanation.
