One Dog in a Million

By: "Bobbie" <jb@macnet.com>

I have had a wonderful experience with the

spirit of my beloved dog. Danny is a Cocker Spaniel. I had wanted a Cocker all

of my life. I finally got the opportunity when I received a settlement from an

insurance co. My husband told me that he wanted me to get something that I had

always wanted. Needless to say the Cocker was my first response. That very day

we found a news paper and looked for puppies. We found one listing close by and

went there to look. HE was sitting there in the corner looking at me with the

most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.After that, Danny was my constant companion. We

went everywhere together and except for work, he was always by my side. We took

him on all our camping trips and sightseeing excursions. He was a great traveler

and loved being on the road. The minute I thought about leaving for a trip,

Danny would prance around me just waiting to hear the jingle of his dog collar.

It got to the point that I had to put his collar on just to calm him down so I

could get everything ready. Danny was more then a friend, he understood my moods

and always knew the right thing to do to cheer me up or settle me down. He

rejoiced in my happiness When I became disabled Danny made sure that when we

went out, I could keep up with him. The years went much to fast. Before I knew

it he was 13 years old and slowing down. Now it was my turn to slow down for

him. When the end came it was so sudden I felt out of step with reality for a

while. He had been ill and suddenly one evening he started having breathing

difficulties. I put him in the truck with me and I took off for the Vet's

office. He was unconscious by the time I got there and died about 15 minutes

later. I was devastated. I was so overcome

with grief that all I wanted to do was die with him. I still can't talk about

him with great ease but it is much better now. One night about a week after he

passed over, I had a dream about him. He came running into my arms

and I felt his overwhelming love for me. I held him and cried into the soft fur

on his back. He looked just as he did as a young dog. He had been blind in one

eye, but now his eye was fine and he was so happy! He stayed with me until I

stopped crying and then turned and ran off. He was really there with me. Our

spirits met and he was able to comfort me enough to be able to cope with his

loss. I think my part in this was actually an out of body experience, because it

was to real for a regular dream or a lucid dream, which I have had on several

occasions. Another outcome of this meeting was the overwhelming desire to get

another Cocker. I wasn't going to get another because I was afraid I would

always be comparing him with Danny. But I suddenly HAD to find another one. Even

that search was a little unusual. We live in Oregon and have access to the two

largest cities, Portland and Salem. I looked in 6 news papers and found only one

listing for Cocker pups! There are usually dozens of them. I called the lady

that had them and was at her door step and hour later. DJ came home with

me. He is a great little guy and I love him dearly. He has secured his own spot

in my heart. It's great to have him home

again. I realize that this isn't your typical ghost

story, but it does show that our pet companions are with us always. If you don't

include this story I don't mind. It's be cathartic just writing

it!


The House On Central Ave

By: morninglily@webtv.net

This story has been told to me by Mother and Grandmother over the years.

Today they still have nightmares about what occured at this house they

lived in. Here is their story as it was told to me....

When my mother was 7 years old in (1957), my grandparents rented a house

from a young man who said he was renting it out on behalf of his Father

who recently moved to Alabama. He had only request: He wanted to keep

some belongings in the basement and he locked the door with a padlock.

He told them never to try to get in the basement. My Grandfather

thought this was reasonable enough and he agreed.

Soon after, strange things began to happen in the house. But, they only

happened when my Grandfather was not present. He worked graveyard at

the time so My Grandma and Mother were left alone at night. My Mother

was the first to see the ghost. She awoke one night to see a shadow of

something standing next to her bed. As she looked up she seen that it

was headless. There was nothing above its shoulders! She screamed and

went to her Mothers room. Grandmother could not calm her that night,

but she did believe her because she had felt it too.

Mom slept in her Mothers room after that. One night, it jerked their

covers off. Grandmother immediately got up an looked around the room

for a reasonable expanation, when suddenly she turned and seen it for

herself. She nearly fainted. After that, she and my Mother went to bed

everynight with the door locked and moved the dresser in front of the

door thinking they could prevent its entrance. Needless to say that did

not work. Over time, the ghost grew stronger as did it's attacks.

Window started opening in the dead of winter, they heard footsteps

walking from the bedroom to the basement door and going down. The chair

in the living room would rock all of the time. Doors would slam, and at

night it would take their covers. At times you could hear it breathing

heavily. My grandmother could not take it anymore, she tried so hard

to convince my grandfather, but nothing worked. He simply did not

believe in such things.

How it all came to an end: There was a large rust colored stain in the

bedroom, that my grandmother could never remove. There were also stains

in the hall leading to the basement door. After a period of time, she

became convinced it was blood. This is how she came to that

asumption....

The young man returned on day from Alabama to collect his things. She

asked him about the stains that she could not remove. He told her that

while his wife was in, she miscarried in the basement and managed to

drag herself to the bedroom where she collapsed. She lived, but they

were never able to get all of the blood up. Well, my Grandmother

halfway bought his story. Later that night, they invited him to stay,

before heading back to Alabama. He did stay, but refused to sleep in

the house. Mind you, it was winter time. The next day after he left,

Grandma asked the neighbors a few questions. Why did the boys Father

never come around and why did he give up his home? The neighbors

reported that the Father and son fought constantly. The old man was a

brutal drunk. One night they thought they heard a gunshot, but wasn't

sure. Shortly after that, they noticed the old man wasn't around. When

they questioned the boy, he said that his dad left for Alabama and that

he was moving there too. A few days later, they noticed the boy had his

basement dug out. He said he was cementing it . Well, that was enough

for my grandmother. After hearing all of this, she went to the house

and decided to bust the lock off of the door. When she got down in the

basement she noticed in the corner, there was a real bad sinkhole in the

cement. It was the perfect shape of a grave. Next, all of the lights

went out on her and she heard footsteps. She freaked out. That night

she told Grandpa the whole story. He still didn't buy it, but that

night, he came face to face with it. He almost had a heart attack. He

immediately made plans for them to move.

The night before they left, all of the windows in the house would not

stay shut. Doors kept opening and slamming. Grandpa got up no less

than four times to shut the windows. Finally, after an unseen hand

grabbed my Mothers foot and tried to drag her in the floor did Grandpa

have enough. They slept the rest of the night in their car even though

they had 3 inches of snow on the ground. To this day, my Mother will

not go near that house. Later a preacher and his family moved in it.

Their daughter later was admitted to a mental hosptial. It was because

she was being attacked by an unseen force in the house and her parents

thought she was just crazy, that was at least until my grandmother told

them her story of the house.....


Hauntings at Midnight

By: CoriMea@aol.com

The house I grew up in when I was younger, I always thought was haunted. At

midnight every night I would wake up and see a man standing in the doorway of

my bedroom. This started when I was about 5. I am 17 now. for 12 years this

has been happening. The apparitions stopped for a while when My grandfather

died, I was 10. They soon started again. The man would be wearing an old

suit and a hat. I could never see his face, I would sometimes hear breathing

and I could tell that he was watching me. I moved out of my Grandfathers

house at age 12 and they stopped. But when I would come back to visit my

brother and grandmother who still lived in the house, the apparition would

come back. I am no longer afraid of the man. I know that the man would never

hurt, because if that was his intention then he would have done it a long time

ago. I think that the man is my guardian, not my angel. I think that he is my

watcher, the one who watches over me and keeps me safe.

thank you for allowing me to share my true-storie


St. Peter, MN

By: angie.henrikson@vtechco.com

Two years ago I lived in a small house in St. Peter Mn. where I went to

college. The house was over a hundred years old and had been rumored to be

haunted. The attic which was rarely used had a trap door and the girls who

lived on the floor below the attic often heard noises that sounded like

people walking around. One night I was lying in bed and I heard a knocking

sound in my room. It was late and I had been up studying and I knew that

everyone else had been asleep for hours. I immediately became terrified and

knew it was a ghost. I looked across the room and standing next to my

closet, where the noise was coming from, I saw a medium sized person

standing there. It was fairly dark in the room but the apparition was light

enough for me to see. I said aloud please don't hurt me and said a quick

prayer. I don't remember how much longer it took me to fall asleep but the

next day I remembered everything and was scared to death. When my roomate

came out of her room she looked a little frazzled herself. She told me that

the something really strange had happened to her last night. She heard a

noise in her room and looked up and her clothes in her closet were moving

back and forth like their was a hand running back and forth over her

clothes. She was convinced that she had been haunted as well. Later that

day we found out the door had been shut to the attic for the upcoming winter

months. I am not sure if the ghost was mad at us for locking him out or he

was caught outside of the attic but regardless he or she gave us quite a

scare. We mentioned something to our landlord about the occurence and he

told us that during the Indian Revolution men and women were hid in this

house to be protected from the war. After sharing my story with others I

found that there are many sightings in the town of St. Peter, most of which

coincide with the history surrounding the town. I am sure there are many

others in the town of St. Peter.


Hotel Del Coronado Ghost

By: jrose@commlinks.com

Just remembered a strange event that happend to my wife and I at the Hotel

Del Coronado in San Diego, CA. Here it is:

My wife and I were staying at the Del for a wedding. We had heard that

there was a ghost at the hotel, but we didn't know anything of the details.

When we arrived we asked the housekeeper if she had experienced anything.

The lady said there was a room on the fifth floor where you would smell a

very strong odor from time to time, but that she hadn't experienced

anything else.

Later, in the gift shop, my wife purchased a book about the ghost -- "The

Legend of Kate Morgan" -- and began reading it. We learned, that the

"haunted room" was just down the hall from ours. We were in room 3390.

My wife decided she wanted to "see" the ghost and began "asking" Kate to

make herself known. I told my wife I wanted no part of it and went to bed.

The next morning -- Sunday -- I walked down to Starbucks for coffee and my

wife began packing for the trip home. When she took her clothes out of the

chest of drawers she found a tightly wound ball of black cloth mixed in

with her clothes.

She unwound the ball of cloth and it turned out to be a torn strip of black

lace! This is significant because according to the book, Kate was last seen

alive wearing a black lace dress on the third floor veranda the night she

died. Also, I beleive it said she was wearing the dress when her body was

found on the steps the next morning.

My wife does not own anything made of black lace (poor me) and she doesn't

remember seeing the material in the drawer prior to Sunday morning. It was

entirely empty when she put her clothes in it the first time.

Could just be a coincidence, but it's kind of interesting. We still have

the lace by the way.


The Civil War Soldier

By: eleven@edge.net

This is pretty much a combined story of the soldier that haunts our

house.He is like a caretaker I guess.It all started when I was about 9

years old (I'm19 now).Wehad just moved back into this house. The house

itself was built right after the Civil War. The landlord use to say that

there were graves dug in the back field and no matter how many times you

plowed over them they settled back the same.Anyway when I was 9 I

shared a room with my little sister.I guess it was about 12:30A.M when

I looked into my dad's room and saw the soldier .He was standing at the

end of my dad's bed . He was wearing a grey uniform and had a long sword

on his left side. By that time Iwas sitting up on the bed trying to wake

my sister Then he scared me ,he turned ,he looked at me and then he

floated out of the room.Then we didn't see him for awhile. Then in 1996

we went on vacation and my boyfriend stayed here to take care of the

house and animals. He was laying on the couch one night with all the

lights out and he heard something in the back of the room.Heturned

around and there was the soldier standing by the stereo. He said he

turned on the light and left them on all d*** night(those are his exact

words.He didn't believe my stories until then.)

Then in early 1998 after my son was born he made him self known

again. It was the first time my friend had stayed over . We were sitting

up talking when the soldier stretched his neck around the corner and

scared the life out of her. Well this is getting kinda long so I will

close for now.Thanx for listening.


The Messenger Ghost

By: Paige_19@hotmail.com

It happened when I was around ten or eleven. I had always been

interested in the supernatural and, being just a kid, I thought it was

rather 'cool' that ghosts were real. So, you can imagine my astonishment

when it happened.

I lived in a rather large house, with my mother, father and older

brother. My bedroom was the last and the end of a long hallway, and was

far away from the rest of the house. I had a pet Jack Russell Terrior,

named Molly, who always slept in my room.

One night, lying in bed, I just could not sleep. It was a very hot

night, but for some reason my bedroom was unbelievably cold. Opening my

eyes, I suddenly noticed a strange, silhouette, hovering beside my bed.

I squinted in the darkness, but the harder I tried to make out what the

figure was, the less visible it seemed. Shrugging it off, thinking it

was just me, I slowly drifted back to sleep.

But at around 2 am, I was woken up by Molly, whimpering softly. Sitting

up, I noticed an uncomfortable tension under my right arm. Examining the

irritation, I found nothing, but a large, red rash that seemed to

dissapear everytime I tried to show it to my parents.

I told them about the figure in my room, but I was informed by my mother

that I was probably still sleeping.

A few nights later, my room was flushed with coldness again, and once

again, I opened my eyes to see that same figure. This time I could make

out a gentle-looking little boy, dressed in tattered rags. His face was

pale, and a glowing 'Aura' (as I call it) shone around his frail figure.

In the early hours of that morning, Molly woke me up. She was whimpering

again and had gradually made her way up to my chest, where she curled up

to me. I don't understand dogs very well, but I knew she was scared of

something.

The rash appeared again that morning and, again, I tried to show my

parents. They didn't believe me, as the redness kept coming and going.

Trying to add onto my 'rash' story my sighting of the little boy, I was

pushed out of the room. Dad said that if I lied again like that, I would

be in alot of trouble.

My brother was the only one who believed me. He told me he too had seen

the boy, and that he had somehow communicated with it through means of a

Ouija board. I told my brother that I would like to have a word with the

boy also, and so we tried he tried to Oujia board again, but with me

present.

We got in contact with something that seemed to make the upturned

tumbler fog up, and glide around the board. A strange, cold feeling in

the air was all around us. My brother told me it was the little boy who

he was 'talking' to (on the Oujia board) and that I was allowed to ask

some questions, if they were not to offend the ghost.

>From that event, my brother and I found out that the boy did not want to

hurt us, but was only there because he too lived in that house. He (the

boy) 'said' that my room was once his room, and that he was my age.

We closed the Ouijia board down, and I went to bed as it was late. I did

not sleep a wink that night, knowing that the little boy could be there,

staring at me.

Somehow I drifted off to sleep and when I awoke in the morning, I found

something pressed under my arm. It was a folded piece of paper. I opened

it up, but there was nothing on it. No message. No nothing. Just a

folded piece of paper.

>From then on, the boy continued to leave messages under my arm. It grew

from a small piece of paper, to pencils and one morning I even found a

marble under there!!

My brother and I are older now and I have not forgotten the little boy.

But I do not live in that house anymore.

I have met up with many Phsycics and Phsycic investigators who help me

to get in contact with the little boy with Ouija Boards.

I haven't seen the small boy since I moved out of the house, but I have

not forgotten him, and I know that he never meant me any harm.

My parents still do not believe my brother and I to this day, but we

know the truth.

My name is Cassie, and I would really like anyone who wants to comment

on my experience, or share their experiences with me to e-mail me.

Thanks for your time.


Joyce's Haunted House

By: Jesskala@aol.com

Growing up in my aunts house you would learn to ignore the weird things that

happened there. She lived in this house for many years and you could say I

grew up there too.

It was always never-ending, it was either banging on the walls, things

constantly missing around the house, strange smells, or actually hearing and

seeing them!

One night my aunt was sitting in her living room watching television, when

something caught the corner of her eye. She turned to find a little girl

standing in the doorway of her bedroom. It caught her off guard and scared the

daylights out of her.

As she stared at this sweet girl, about 6 or 7 years old, she noticed the

clothing she was wearing. The little girl had on a bonnet and a dress, kinda

like a prairie dress, and she was barefoot.

My aunt (being brave) called to the girl, the girl got this look on her face

like"oops your not supposed to see me," and she turned and started to walk

into my aunts bedroom.

My aunt jumped off the couch and ran into her room and flipped on the lights

to find that nobody was there.

One time I was housesitting for her while she was visiting a friend in

Washington and I was in the house by myself. It was always nice housesitting

for her because I could do my laundry for free!

Her laundryroom was downstairs from the kitchen. It was always creepy in

there. There was no ceiling, just rafters. It had a lot of spiders and

cobwebs. The big scary waterheater.

I had finished sorting my laundry and stuffed the load in a basket and started

down the stairs. I set my clothes on the floor and turned around to open the

lid to the washer. As I did a mans voice boomed out of it yelling "BOO!", now

I know that sounds a little funny, but if it was you, you wouldn't be

laughing. I closed the lid and slowly walked up the stairs in shock.

That night I slept on the couch. In the morning I was awakened to somebody

pounding on the walls. At first I thought it was somebody at the door, but

when I looked there was nobody there.

The next night I decided to be brave and sleep in one of the bedrooms. I

brought in my book I was reading and laid on the bed and turned on the little

bedside lamp. I read until my eyes wouldn't stay open anymore. I set the book

on the nightstand next to me and fell asleep with the lamp on. In the morning

I woke up and the sun was shining through the window, so I rolled over and

turned the lamp off. Just as I rolled back over I heard a voice of the little

girl (who sounded slightly amused) saying,"she turned finally turned out that

light!" I laid there for a while laughing at myself for being so jumpy, and

turned over to grab my book. Only it wasn't there. I looked and looked for

weeks for that book. I finally found it in a dresser drawer across the room.

I could go on and on with stories you wouldn't believe.

My aunt has long since passed away and the house was sold. I always wondered

though if the new owners are having the same experiences that my family and I

had. I guess I'll never know....


Australian Ghosts

By: borg202@hotmail.com

You have so many stories already but here are a couple of mine, My name

is Robert and I live in Queensland Australia, I have had a few

experiences with ghosts, but at the time I had no idea what they were, I

was only about 4 or 5 years old at the time (now 26) but I remember

distinctly several things that would appear in the middle of the night

at the foot of my parents bed, whenever I was sick I would stay in their

room, these things never seemed harmful, more playful really, but they

were in the shape of large animals, like I remember one took the shape

of a kangaroo at one stage, as I said they weren't threatening just

playful, like they knew I was sick and were trying to cheer me up. The

second thing about the house we used to live in was the hallway to mine

and my sisters bedrooms, ( I have 2 sisters both older than me) in that

hallway we always felt like we were being watched, we never saw anything

but always got that impression, one thing I didn'ttt mention earlier,

the house had been built just before I was born and had no other

inhabitants prior to us. One more thing, the first thing I can remember

in my life is waking up and seeing a witches face in the wardrobe of the

small room at the start of the hall, I know it doesn'tt sound like much

but it was floating there and just shrank away to nothing. I have a

couple of stories from where we are at the moment as we live next to my

parents workshop/ spare parts truck repair place but that will have to

wait till another time.


One Last Time

By: jonj@dakota.net

This happened to me in the Summer of 1997, in South Dakota. My Grandmother

who had been in a nursing home for about a years passed away one night. I

remember it like it was yesterday, my girlfriend and I had been out riding

my motorcycle when we got the bad news. My girlfriend did not live with me,

but that night stayed at my house in order to comfort me. The House is a

very nice house built in the 1930's, although I do not think that has

anything to do with this. My girlfriend, who is diabetic, and I turned in

for the evening after taking about the loss for a while. I feel asleep very

fast it seemed and was awaked by my grandma, who passed away that night, I

had not spoken with her in a real conversation in years because age had

taken its toll. Anyway, she looked younger, a lot younger, yet I knew it

was her. She told me that I needed to wake up (which I thought I already

was) and help Nicky or she would die, and she wanted to say goodbye. Of

course I sat straight up in my bed and checked on Nicky, she was pale and

ice cold, seems she had gone into insulin shock and needed sugar right away.

So I got her up and got everything handled with her and she was fine. Not

even thinking of what my "dream" had been about until the next day when

Nicky said she had a dream my grandma was in my room. Was she there? I

don't know, but I do know that if it would not have happened, Nicky may very

well not be here today.


Our Haunted House

By: Vy.Bui@connect.xerox.com

I was reading the ghost stories and they freaked me out. But I

wanted to contribute a story of mine that only me and my sisters share. My

friend Jason use to live in the house that me and my family live in now.

Jason's use to live there with his parents and his grandmother. When Jason

was younger his mom and dad were killed while they were on vacation. I

think they were shot and pushed off a cliff. I know that sounds so fake but

it's really true. I don't know if it's Jason's parents that are haunting

our house or something else.

When we first moved in the basement was just a huge area of space.

The walls and the floor was concrete. My dad fixed up the basement and

built four rooms for us. It's really nice in our basement now, we have

carpet and a bathroom down there and everything. Just trying to give you a

bases of the environment around me. There has always been weird things

going on in that house, but we really never paid much attention to it. The

first person to ever see anyone was my sister Anh Thu. Anh Thu is a really

light sleeper. She wakes up at the slightest noises. One night me and my

three other sisters were in my room watching t.v, and Anh Thu was in her

room sleeping. Anh Thu was sleeping when she heard someone with noisy,

swishy pants on enter her room. She thought it was my little sister

Jannete. Anh Thu kept on asking Jannete what she wanted and she didn't get

a reply. In Anh Thu's room she has glow in the dark beads that hang from

her ceiling. Anh Thu said that the figure that she thought was my sister

moved slowly behind the beads and in a split second it disappeared. She got

so scared so ran to my room and told us about what happened. Ever since

that night weird things have been happening in our house. When we are down

stairs you can hear all movement upstairs. We would hear chair being moved

around in the kitchen, but when we go upstairs to see who was home, nobody

would be up there. When we are in Anh Thu's room her radio would turn off

and on by itself. At first it freaked us out but now we are kind of use to

it. Things would fall in our living room for no reason. I really feel that

there is someone in our house. I can't tell if it is a good spirit or an

evil one.


My Dear Daughter

By: Fluffydear@aol.com

My daughter Diane who was 15 and completed

suicide in June of 1985 was as it seems deeply disturbed she had experimented

with drugs, Ouija Boards, black candles and such, she was beautiful and

charming and had many friends but she never got comfortable in her own

skin....there were counselors and lots of help provided .. nothing worked so

one Sunday as the family was out on the grounds she went down stairs and hung

herself ... unfortunately she chose something that was

foolproof as far as our being able to rescue her...I stayed in that huge

house for about 5 years after the suicide .. Her brother left for school and

her father and I eventually divorced. Everything around that day seems a

little surealistic..there was An enormous lightening storm that knocked out

the lights in the city for a day or so ....and it seems that every one around

Diane experienced a lot of weird electrical problems....Her best friend Kelly

went to the country home of her father ,, and later she told me that one

night her entire room lit up and looked foggy but with that she got a sense

of peace and slept for the first time in two weeks ....One night my husband

was out driving after a dental meeting and he was seeing the girl walking

along the road in front of him every time he would get close to it would turn

out to be something else .. needless to say he came home visibly shaken. The

television would come on downstairs at least once a week precisely at the

same time around 9:00 PM..My husband said it was an airplane going over or

someone's remote but it had never happened before; I wound up unplugging it.

I knew it was her but no one wanted to talk about anything let alone discuss

all this stuff. My Son took the car home we had bought for her 16 Th.

birthday. we just couldn't stand to have it there. It s horn would come on

and at one point even drove itself down the street into another parked car,

My son sold the car ... My children rented a condo for me to stay in for

about 2 months following her death. The lights flickered so much (ESP the

chandelier that I finally returned home) I used to paint (Artist) downstairs

and my supplies and easel and such were down there as was her room and the

area she died in... I had to quit because I felt as if I could actually

hear some one whispering to me or it was as faint as a whisper; some times

pretty audible sometimes; just very faint. especially if I was lost in

concentration....I am convinced that was her too .. I have not painted since.

the most notable thing began to happen perhaps 6 months after her death .. I

was talking on the phone and sitting on the couch in the great room ..the

house was contemporary and its ceiling cathedral and its windows very high up

on one side plus we were sitting atop a fairly high hill so shadows were not

usual as there was nothing to make them...Well while i was talking i sensed

at first someone coming up the spiral staircase ten i saw the shadow

transparent but still a shadow kind of first against the corridor then it

turned in front of me walked past the fireplace and into the bathroom ..

sometimes it would just disappear other times it would reverse and come back

the same way. this was a habit of hers as she always watched TV and

entertained down stairs but there was no bathroom there so would come up .and

take that route to get to the other bath.it never spoke or even stopped just

seem to be doing something out of habit. I eventually had to leave there as

my thought s of her seem to be the first one every morning and the last one

every night .. I have done and am doing much better in my small little house

in a Mr. Rogers neighborhood .. There are times still when strange little

things happen but none like the ones I have told you about ....I do sometimes

wonder if she is still there ....I went to every room of that house and said

the Lords Prayer and then I went downstairs and talked with her and told her

that i understood and that I hoped she had found the peace that she so

desperately wanted to find but that it was time to go with the light and that

she had completed the suicide and that I was going to be all right .. I went

back upstairs and said good-bye closed the door and I have never been back.

Do you think It was her? And do you think it was OK for me to leave? I must

confess I felt like I was abandoning her. but I was fighting for my own

sanity in a way. Diane had a strong belief in reincarnation and said she

would try to prove it if she were to ever die I don't know what I think ...Oh

I should tell you one other story that occured while I was still there about

3 years after her passing. We had this bird thing .. Diane would lay in the

sun on the balcony watching the birds fly around ..she said if I ever come

back it will be as a bird ..just look at them ,such freedom... well as I said

about 3 years after she had gone we were awakened every morning at 8:00 by

this bird pecking on the downstairs window ..directly across from where she

had been ..this went on for the entire summer ..Also when I was in the

bathroom, I could look in the mirror and see a window on the other side of

the house and that same bird use to fly up and down sort of vertically and

look in that window..The bird never let us pick it up or touch it but it

would let us get incredibly close to it and it would just tilt its head and

stare back ..

It was a very unusual thing to have happen .. it was there for just the one

summer.

I am sure there are more things, but these stand out in my mind ...Thanks

for your time


THE ELECTRIC ENTITY

By: Flcrkr@aol.com

THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN (17 YRS) WAS HAUNTED. THE HOUSE WAS AT THAT TIME

ABOUT 80 YEARS OLD, IT WASN'T ACTUALLY A HOUSE, IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN NEXT

DOOR TO A CHURCH AND USED FOR FUNERAL SERVICES.

THE HOUSE WAS VERY UNIQUE, IT HAD A TOTAL OF 13 DOORS. MY ROOM ALONE HAD 3

DOORS; ONE LEADING TO THE LIVING ROOM, ONE TO MY PARENTS ROOM AND ONE LEADING

ONTO THE FRONT PORCH (THAT ONE WAS A SPLIT DOOR). ALL OF THE DOOR KNOBS WERE

EITHER BRASS OR CUT GLASS AND IT HAD ALL HARDWOOD FLOORS.

SINCE I GREW UP AROUND THE DAY IN AND DAY OUT INCIDENCES OF PARANORMAL

ACTIVITY, IT DIDN'T SEEM STRANGE TO ME AT ALL. ACTUALLY IT BECAME SOMEWHAT

OF A GAME WITH ME. I WOULD CLOSE DOORS AND WAIT FOR THEM TO OPEN, TURN OFF

LIGHTS AND WAIT TO HEAR THEM CLICK ON (THE LIGHT SWITCHES WERE LIKE TWO

INCHES LONG AND THEY WOULD CLICK WHEN THEY WERE MOVED).

WHEN I WAS IN MY EARLY TEENS, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THESE SORT OF THINGS

DIDN'T HAPPEN TO EVERYONE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL. THE ONLY TWO

FRIENDS THAT EVENTUALLY AGREED TO STAY OVERNIGHT ONLY STAYED ONCE. I MADE

THE MISTAKE OF "SHOWING OFF MY GHOST" BY LOCKING THE DOOR TO THE BATHROOM

FROM INSIDE MY PARENTS ROOM AND WALKING AROUND TO THE OTHER BATHROOM DOOR AND

TURNING OFF THE LIGHT AND LET MY FRIENDS EXPERIENCE THE LIGHT COMING BACK ON.

AS I LOOK BACK, IT IS REALLY RATHER AMAZING THE RELATIONSHIP ME AND MY SISTER

HAD WITH THE SPIRIT. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING, WE WOULD BE APPROACHING THE BACK

DOOR CARRYING A LOAD OF WET CLOTHES TO HANG OUT AND THE DOOR WOULD OPEN FOR

US.

MY MOTHER SAW THE SPIRIT ONCE AND SAID IT WAS A YOUNG MAN IN HIS LATE TEENS,

SLENDER WITH DARK HAIR. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF MY BROTHERS SNEAKING INTO

THE HOUSE LATE AT NIGHT AND SHE FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE HALL WHEN HE JUST

VANISHED.

WHEN MY TWO ELDEST SISTERS CAME TO VISIT FROM OUT OF STATE, THE SPIRIT WANTED

TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED. MY MOM, MYSELF, AND THREE OF MY SISTERS (INCLUDING THE

TWO VISITING) WERE SITTING IN THE LIVINGROOM WATCHING "ALL MY CHILDREN" WHEN

MY BEDROOM DOOR OPENED, WE ALL LOOKED UP AT THE DOOR AND THEN IT SLAMMED SHUT

HARD. IT WAS SO STARTLING THAT MY MOM GOT HER GUN AND SEARCHED THE HOUSE

SURE THAT IT WAS AN INTRUDER. THE SAME NIGHT, ALL OF US SISTERS AND MY ONE

YEAR OLD NIECE WERE SLEEPING IN MY ROOM; I WAS ON A COT WITH MY BABY NIECE IN

FRONT OF THE DOOR LEADING OUTSIDE WHEN THE DOORHANDLE STARTED TURNING AND

RATTLING THE DOOR (IT WAS PADLOCK FROM THE INSIDE) AND YOU COULD ONLY TURN

THE DOOR KNOB FROM THE INSIDE. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY ELDER SISTERS WERE

SPOOKED.

THAT WAS A TURNING POINT IN THE TYPE OF ACTIVITIES IN THE HOUSE. IT REALLY

TURNED NASTY. KNOCKING OUT ALL THE LIGHTS, LOUD STOMPING, RATTLING DOOR

KNOBS AND DOORS LOUDLY, TURNING ON THE STOVE AND JUST A CHANGE IN ATMOSPHERE.

AT THE TIME I GOT REALLY SCARED AND BEGAN TO PRAY A LOT AND IT GOT BETTER.

MY MOTHER DIED A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER AND I MOVED OUT WITHIN A YEAR AFTER

THAT.

LOOKING BACK, I AM 39 NOW, AND I WAS 17 WHEN I LEFT THAT HOUSE; I THINK THAT

BY PLAYING WITH THE GHOST AND HAVING A FLIPPANT ATTITUDE I ATTRACTED ANOTHER

SPIRIT WHICH WAS NOT SO NICE.

WHAT MADE ME WRITE WAS READING YOUR STORY ABOUT ASKING THE GHOST BACK AND

GETTING MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR. I THINK IN ESSENCE THATS WHAT HAPPENED

TO ME. NOW THAT I HAVE DONE MUCH READING ON THE SUBJECT AND FROM ANOTHER BAD

EXPERIENCE IN MY SISTER'S RENTAL HOME I KNOW BETTER THAN TO TOY WITH ANY

SPIRIT WITHOUT BEING COMPLETELY PREPARED MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

THERE ARE FIVE SISTERS AND WE ARE ALL VERY SPIRITUAL AND SOMEWHAT PSYCHIC;

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO EACH OTHER. WE ALL SEEM TO ATTRACT OR ARE JUST

ABLE TO SENSE SPIRITS. TWO OF MY SISTERS WERE SHARING A RENTAL HOME HERE IN

TAMPA WHEN ONE NIGHT MY SISTER GAIL AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE IN HER ROOM, THEY

WERE SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE BED TALKING WHEN THEY HEARD A LOUD "POP" THEY

LOOKED UP AND SAW A HAZY ORANGISH GLOW COME OUT OF THE WALL SOCKET AND HEAD

TOWARDS THE DOOR. THE WAY THEY BOTH DESCRIBED IT IS THAT IT "WANTED OUT"

THIS FEELING WAS SO INTENSE THAT GAIL'S BOYFRIEND BILL SAID "LET IT OUT

GAIL", SHE SAID "YOU LET IT OUT" IT APPEARED TO GO UNDER THE DOOR. THEY SAT

THERE STUNNED FOR A MOMENT AND THEN REALIZED MY OTHER SISTER BRENDA WAS IN

HER BEDROOM ALONE. THEY WENT TO HER BUT SHE HADN'T SEEN OR HEARD ANYTHING.

TO THIS DAY WHEN BILL TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE SAW HIS ARM HAIRS STAND ON END AND

HIS EYES TEAR, AND BELIEVE ME THIS GUY IS THE BIGGEST SKEPTIC FOR ALL THINGS

SUPERNATURAL YOU'D EVER WANNA MEET.

THE NEXT DAY, BRENDA CALLED ME AT WORK AND SAID SHE WAS GETTING CHILLS AND

COLD SPOTS IN THE HOUSE AND THAT EVERYTIME SHE WALKED UNDER THE HALL LIGHT IT

FLICKERED AND WOULD I COME OVER AND CHECK IT OUT.

I FELT IT INSTANTLY WHEN I WENT INTO THE HOUSE, IT WAS LIKE A THICKNESS IN

THE AIR AND IT SEEMED TO ASCEND UPON ME AND HAD A FAINT ODOR. I TOLD IT TO

GET OFF OF ME THAT I AM A CHILD OF GOD AND AM COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS

AND IT DID. WE OPENED BIBLES AROUND THE HOUSE AND WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE

SAYING THE PSALMS PRAYER. IT SEEMED TO BE FOCUSED IN THE CORNER OF HER

BEDROOM CEILING. DAYS OF PRAYING AND IT WASN'T DISPERSING. AND THE LIGHT IN

THE HALLWAY CONTINUED TO FLICKER ONLY AS YOU PASSED UNDER IT.

THEN IT GOT REALLY SCARY. MY SISTERS GRANDCHILDREN; A GIRL 3 AND BOY 4 WERE

VISITING FROM ORLANDO WHEN THEY WENT TO BED THEY STARTING CRYING AND CALLING

TO HER. SHE WENT IN AND THE CHILDREN TOLD HER THERE WAS A "BAD MAN WITH A

KNIFE IN THE BATHROOM" (THE HALL LIGHT IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE BATHROOM

DOOR). SHE SAID TO THE CHILDREN "ITS OKAY HONEY THERES NO ONE THERE" AND THE

GRAND DAUGHTER BRITTANY SAID "YES HE IS GRANDMA, SEE HIM, HES GOT HAIR LIKE

DADDY".

WELL, SHE TOOK THE CHILDREN TO BED WITH HER WITH THE FAMILY BIBLE AND

PRAYERS. THE NEXT DAY I WENT OVER AND SHE AND I TRIED PRAYING AND TELLING IT

TO GO TO THE LIGHT, THAT HE DIDN'T BELONG HERE ETC. WELL IT DIDN'T LIKE THAT

AT ALL AND IT ASCENDED ON MY SISTER, WE WERE HOLDING HANDS AND I COULD

LITERALLY FEEL IT ON HER. I STARTED PRAYING AND BANISHING IT. IT DID MOVE

OFF HER AND THATS WHEN I FINALLY SAW THE ORANGISH HAZE MY SISTER GAIL HAD

SPOKE OF, AND OF COURSE THE CURIOUS BRAVE FOOL I WAS, I WALKED OVER AND PUT

MY HAND INTO IT. LITERALLY EVERY HAIR ON MY BODY STOOD ON END AND I FELT

ELECTRIFIED AND ALSO FELT INVADED. I WAS REALLY SCARED AND WITHDREW, BUT

FELT LIKE IT WAS LINGERING WITH ME.

OUR SISTER IN DALLAS CALLED TO SEE WHAT WHAT WRONG, SHE SAID SHE FELT A

TINGLING IN HER ARMS AND KNEW IT WAS ONE OF US . SHE TEACHES CATHICISM AND

SHE GAVE US SOME SPECIFIC PRAYERS TO SAY AND SAID SOME PRAYERS WITH US ON THE

PHONE. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, FOR THAT FINAL WEEK BEFORE IT FINALLY WENT AWAY I

WOULD LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR AND BE AFRAID OF WHAT I MIGHT SEE, I FELT

AS IF IT WERE LINGERING ON ME STILL, EVEN NOW, I AM MENTALLY SAYING A PRAYER

JUST BECAUSE IF AM WRITING ABOUT IT. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS OF DAILY PRAYER AND

MAKING A POINT OF GATHERING AT THE HOUSE AND FILLING THE HOUSE WITH LOVE AND

PRAYER BEFORE IT FINALLY SUBSIDED. THEY MOVED OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT.


Several Experiences...Part 1

By: GMM110656@aol.com

I'm writing to you because I feel that not even the closest people really

understand what it has been like to be sensitive to the other dimension. I

have been sensing for years that there definately are spirits of those that

have long been gone from this realm. It began in 1980, at least this is when

I actually had 'the feeling'. Although I was alone in the house, I felt as

though I was being caressed on the head as I slipped into an afternoon doze.

I immediately awoke, thinking that it may have been my cat, but then I

remembered that he was not indoors. I only felt frightened for 1/2 of a

second a then a peaceful sense of calm came over me. Perhaps it was the

nature of the way in which whoever it was, chose to visit. It was the year

that everyone's lives, in my family changed forever. It was an emotionally

upheaving, distressing year as we learned that my younger brother of 16 years

had an inoperable brain tumor. He was given less than a year to live.

Perhaps, whoever contacted me, felt that they were assuring me that although

he would not survive this life, he would live on in another and be in good

company. This thought occurred to me only moments after the incident. He

left us in February of 1981. I never have morbid thoughts concerning his

death although I miss him very much, because I know that he is happy where he

is and that he is enveloped in a circle of love. One that consists of family

members that have gone on before him and ones that have moved on since. I

have has many instances of paranormal experiences since then. I am no longer

living in the same house, but I feel that it is not always the place that

prompts these occurrances. Sometimes, it is the fact that may be open to

believing that it is possible to make contact or for them to make contact

with us, which allows us to sense their presence. I will write to you again

as many other instances need to be heard by all those who believe and have

had similar experiences.


The "Butterflies"

By: bullard100@hotmail.com

When I was in college I worked on an ambulance in a large urban area on

the weekends.

One bitter January night we got a call of a person down. When we got

there the cops were standing over an old lady on the sidewalk. She

appeared to be a homeless person-old sick and dying probably from a half

dozen different causes.

We stabilized her as best we could on site and headed for the ER. We

hadn't gone two blocks when she began to go bad on us. We did what we

could but she soon stopped breathing. We shocked her, applied CPR but it

was no good.

As the other tech and I sat back in defeat we saw an amazing thing. It

seemed as if 25-30 or more sparkling "butterflies" seemed to rise from

the woman's body and circle in a tight spiral above her in the

ambulance. We both believed that we heard a faint, high pitched,

"tinkling" sound as well. The spiral climbed to the ceiling, tightened

up an just disappeared before our eyes.We sat in amazement for minutes.

This was in no way scary, in fact it was beautiful, awesome.

Finally the other tech just looked at me, shook his head and said"You

see some strange stuff on this job". I never saw anything like it ever

again and the other tech would never elaborate about the the other

"strange stuff" he had seen.


Dog's Grave

By: C223@rollanet.org

I used to go deer hunting in western Maryland every fall on public

grounds reserved for that sort of thing. I would start off at dawn and

use a map and compass to walk about three miles into some pretty

desolate sections of this roughly hilled hunting area. The first time I

hunted the area I discovered the grave of someone's beloved dog. They

had erected a nice cross over the grave with the dog's name and dates

(birth and death). The somewhat chilling thing about this location was

that it was in the middle of the hunting grounds where no one lived. Yet

every time I passed by this grave, dawn or dusk, I could hear a dog

barking. It wasn't threatening. Just repeated barking as if the dog

were nearby but I couldn't see it. When I would walk away the barking

would stop. This occurred every year for three years. Makes you

wonder.........


The Apartment

By: Mitarangel@aol.com

Hi my name is Maria and Iam 23, I have never really believed in ghosts but I

don't think I can deny them(or whatever this was)anymore. Until about 2 months

ago I never believed people when they told me ghost stories, scary movies

never frightened me and I never thought ghosts were real until......I had an

apartment with a girlfriend of mine while we were attending college at UT at

Arlington, we lived alone just the two of us and we were getting along fine,

about 3 weeks after we moved into the place I started finding some of my

clothes missing and jewlery, it would wind up in her room. I started blamming

her, and she was blamming me for the same thing( her stuff in my room). One

night I came home from a party and no one was home, everything in the kitchen

was now in the living room, and all my furniture in the living room was in

the kitchen,,,I was so mad assuming it was a practicle joke I went and

confronted her about it, she swore it was not her. These expieriences were

happening more and more and I started to get nervous, thinking that maybe it

was some of our friends. About two days after I came home from thanksgiving

break, me and my roommate were sitting in the living room(after putting all

the furniture back) when the television started to go on and off, the kitchen

and hallway lights too(not at the same time) we both looked at each other and

I could see the horror in her eyes, soon Sarah's(my roommate) dog a small

jack russel terrior, started barking at the love seat as if someone was

there, but they werent, I couldnt move(the love seat was directly to my

right) I just kept staring. We looked at each other and jumped up, as we ran

to my bed room the lights that surround the bathroom mirrors started to burst

for no reason. We turned directly around and ran for the front door, Sarah

went back to pick up her puppy when he snapped at her( he has never done this

before) she dropped him and he slowly walked into the kitchen as if someone

was calling him, we continued to run out the front door, when I tripped and

fell and landed on my knees and hands, In front of the door were about 11

moving boxes open and filled with our stuff( they were not there before) We

didnt stop to think about it, Tibbo(sarah's dog) was now at the front door

with us, and Sarah grabbed him and we ran all the way to her car and drove

off!...We had our boyfriends go back and get our stuff, I have now moved in

with my boyfriend and Sarah has gone to her mothers. We talked to the

landlady a few days later and she said that no one has lived in this

apartment for longer than 3 months. I dont think anyone has moved in after

us, but I am still watching for them. Just to see if the same thing happens to

them.


Always Around Me

By: DiZzYxORgy@aol.com

When I came upon this site I found comfort in reading other peoples' stories.

I was never into supernatural stuff. I think I was too scared of the unknown

to read or hear anything about stuff like this, I have had strange things

going in my life since I was a little girl I'm 17 now, I can not explain

these things or rather I don't want to know about them. I will leave them be and

not questioned them for I am too scared to find out the truth, my family has

never stayed in one place we have moved alot from town to town. , I was born

in Albquerque,New Mexico I lived there until I was about 10 or 11. This is

where my story starts when I was about 7. We lived in an apartment it was very

cozy and nice. It was just my mom and my brother and I at the time,ok well

since it was just the three of us I had my own room which I didnt stay in

that much I always managed to sleep in my brothers room,my first encounter

came in this house my mother was working as she always did my brother wanting

to hangout with friends rather then babysit his sister went next door and

left me by myself I was about 8 years old at the time,I was sitting in the

den watching tv and I remember I was getting hungry so I went to the kitchen

to find some munchies I was standing in the kitchen and I hear my name being

called I thought it was my mother I was so happy I was talking to her I was

like mom I'm in the kitchen I expected to hear her walk in any minute but it

was dead slient except for the tv I called at to my mom at that second I got

really scared I know it wasn't my imagination it was someone who I thought

called my name it was quite clear as if the person who called my name had

been standing next to me, well I started walking around my house calling for

my mom I was getting really scared at this point,as I entered my mothers room

I hear my name again I turned around I said what I was confused I didn't know

what was going on I walked down the hall I was almost in the den area when

again I heard my name being called this time it was more clearer and I felt

very cold to the point where I started to shiver I freaked out and went

running to my neighbors house where my brother was I told him about it he

didn't believe me he said I made it up just so I could be over there with him,

that wasn't true at all I heard what I heard it was very true,in that

apartment many strange things happened which my mother can agree with one

day(this is the strangest I can think of) I was out side playing in the yard I

had my back turned to the house i dont remember what i was doing but i

remember feeling as if I was being watched I turned around and I saw what

looked like a women it wasnt clear enough to make it out I kinda got scared

but I ignored it and went on playing then from the corner of my eye I see a

women walking up to me I got up quickly becuase there was no way she could

have gotten into my yard unless she came from inside my house I asked her if

she was my mothers friend she didn't reply she just kept walking towards me

the closer she got the more I noticed she was sort of see threw like, I just

stood there I could'nt move couldn't talk I just stood there I was terrified

she walked right through me not passed me but RIGHT through me I felt like my

body was going to shut down I felt so cold it was a hot summer day the sun

out and everything,after a couple of seconds I was able to move again I ran

into the house into my room and started crying I told no one about this, we

finally moved out of that place all my life I have felt like there is

something watching me and I can tell you its the most terrifying thing I

never feel alone even if I am to this day,I hate the way I feel no one will

believe me they all say I watch too many movies but I rarely watch tv, I have

had times when I hear my name being called when no one is around when this

happens the name that is called is my full name no one uses my full name they

call me nikki the name I hear and have heard for years is nicole sometimes I

feel like I'm going crazy,one last thing I shall share with you my friend

actually saw what happened I was 15 we were playing some stupid contact the

spirts game my friend and I were in my room all alone we thought it would be

fun well toward the middle into the game I asked if the person or ghosts

could prove itself thinking it was my friend who was playing a joke on me

well right after I asked the question the candles we had burning went out my

cds all fell it got cold as ice we started to freak out we both bolted for my

bedroom door falling over eachother in panic I kept on screaming I'm sorry I'm

sorry go away !!!!! As we were running I fell and tripped my friend fell on

top of me I was crawling down the hall I was too weak to get up I was crying

something awful it was so confusing I didn't know what happened everything got

quite and we sat in the kitchen holding each other crying we were under a

table my friend who was with me was 20 years old he was very macho and stuff

but he was crying like a baby he was yelling at me what did I do I was so

scared we sat there listening not knowing what had just happened then we

started hearing laughter evil laughter I looked up at this picture of Jesus

and I was begging him to make this stop the laughter soon stopped and a smell

came it was terrible we were so scared to move it sucked the table was right

by the hallway I looked down the hall and saw a man walking towards us I

started screaming I got up and took off for the door knocking over the glass

table my friend followed me when we ran out of the house we saw neighbors

coming out looking at us they had called the cops cuase of the noise when the

cops got there we didn't know what to tell them we didnt want to look crazy so

we told them the house was broken into and that the person we saw had come in

threw the window of my room it may have been a wrong thing to lie to the cops

but we didnt want to sound crazy ever since that happened I sometimes see the

same man IIsaw in the hall it scares me but i cant do anything about so I let

it be I feel much better since I wrote this down I hope for once people will

believe me


Windy's Good-Bye

By: 5150mtnx@mlode.com

About 15 years ago my mother

had a cat that my sister had captured when it was a kitten. So she was always

kind of wild If my mother moved Windy would hide for about a week,

finally coming out to eat. If a stranger came to the home Windy would

hide.I moved back into my mother's

home Windy and I became very close. She stayed in the basement/garage of

the house. She would cry at the stairs and I would go down to feed and pet her.

I was the only person she would come to. The time came for Windy to be put

to sleep I took her to a friend that worked at the human society they promised

to put her to sleep where there would be no pain. I was so very upset I

cried all night.The next day I was in my

bedroom and heard Windy cry down in the basement. I opened the door and no

Windy. I know for sure I heard her. Then I thought, it was her way

of thanking me for taking away her pain plus she was saying good-bye.

After that I never heard her again and I felt so much better. What a

wonderful cat she was.


Ed's Brother Returned

By: Guinupb@incentre.net

I have had numerous experiences with ghosts in my time , I unlike some of

you dont take this as a pushover subject , I scares me to death.....Most of

my encounters werent all that bad until I moved into my mom's boyfriends

house

then things really went scary......Ok to fill you in on some background

information ......My mom's boyfriend's brother used to live in the house

that we do....him and his brother or my mom's boyfriend as I would call him

, they use to live together like a normal family .....then one night Ed (

my mom's boyfriend) got a phone call , his brother had been beaten to death

in some bar fight , he was pronounced dead at the scene. then 6 years later

we move in. A week after we moved in Ed found his brothers motorbike. Being

in good condition he decided to keep it , he brought it into the house and

set it up in the spare room. Then that night I was being a good kid and was

doing the dishes. I took a break and went to the bathroom. I returned and

noticed the fridge was open. there were two feet below so I thought my

little brother was getting something to eat. Not caring to much I went into

the living room to tell my mom that I was almost done. I turned my head

toward her and my mouth dropped open.......Sitting beside her was non other

then my little brother the one who was suppose to be in the fridge in the

kitchen. My mom not knowing about the fridge thing thought I was sick. she

got up and took me back into the kitchen. I quickly turned my head toward

the fridge only to see a shut door. , What happened to it , and whose feet

those were that were sticking out the bottom I will never know.

Now another time was when my brother (Justin he's 11) he decided to get a

drink in the middle of the night. he climbed up the stairs because we sleep

in the basement , he then turned the corner and saw a man fully clothed

standing just staring at him . Justin thinking it was Ed (my mom's

boyfriend) took off back down stairs hoping not to get yelled at. then the

next day when everyone was sitting at the table Justin brought up the

subject about the night before. Ed seemed confused and told justin that 1.

he wasn't up in the middle of the night and 2 he wouldn't of had all his

clothes on. Then he went and got a picture and showed justin the face on

it. he asked if that was the guy....and justin without hesitating replyed

"Yeah thats the guy" , not knowing who it was he put a confused look on his

face....then Ed closed his eyes and spit out the words....."That's my dead

brother......."

there are quite a bit more but I wish not to waste your time...I hope you

use these so people can take time to believe in the supernatural......let

us make everyone a believer


Growling

By: ALEYANA422@aol.com

hello..i have had many occurrences,happenings,visits from spirits. I've

alway's accepted these events. Yes, I wonder about them,and times a bit

frighten.I did not believe in evil spirits.I refuse to,thinking "why should i

acknowledge evil spirits, it only gives them power". I still believe this,

and want too,except for one event that occured a few years ago. It was a

terrible time in my life. My whole world was crashing. I would stay the

entire day & night in my bedroom. My husband was drinking alot,he had his

problems. Anyway, one evening I was in my bedroom, by myself with the door

closed. I was thinking about life,and what went wrong.When I heard a

growling sound from under the bed. It was clear & loud. It was comming from

my husband side of the bed. the growl repeated. I search under the bed, and

saw nothing. It stopped, gave it no thought,and continued my evening of

thinking myself to sleep. The following day it happened again,this time

during the day. Again,I look under bed,& saw nothing. And forgot about it.

Meanwhile,the fighting between my husband & I worsened, to the brink where I

wanted to die.This went on for a week.The drinking, fighting and the

growling. Never able to find out the source of the unearthly sound,from under

the bed. I did alot of praying asking for direction. One night,in my deepest

desperation,crying out for help .I wanted to die,or for my husband to die. I

threw myself on my bed,I can't remember what I was saying. I thought I heard

the growl again,and dismissed it.I was crying uncontrolable.When I felt a

small hand patting me on the shoulder. I stopped crying,and paid attention

to the patting. I knew I was alone in the room. I felt like a child, a voice

in my head kept repeating "it's going to be O.K" I fell asleep,a restful

sleep,which I was unable to do for months. The growling was never heard

again. I still live in the same house,sleep in the same bed,same room. My

marriage and life is O.K. again. It took time. I believe something was under

my bed that caused my life to turn upside down. I know and believe an angel

came to my aid .Calming me,comforting me and most of all protecting me. Thank

You for letting me share this very real experience.
