3 construction workers who are buried in the basement walls of the Lyric Centre downtown, is for real or not. I do show that the Centre was built over an indian burial site, but I wanted to know if the other story was for real. Also is there anything about hauntings in the Pennzoil Place building, also downtown? We've got randomly flushing toilets and elevators that sometimes go haywire.
dreams
September 30, 2003, Tuesday A couple of nights ago I dreamed that Tim came in our front door and I said something to him. It was very intense, like I was drunk.
The other night I dreamed that I was swimming in a lake/swimming pool that was full of aligators and crocodiles.
In 1939 there were two unsolved murders in the Customs house. The
spirits evidently were not happy that no one was caught and have been
restless ever since.

GHOST ON FARM ROAD 359; What does he Want?
Nichole, This is the other story I told you that I would send to you. This story involves myself. My mother, stepfather, and myself had just moved to a two-story house in the FM 359 area, near Pecan Grove, and as far as we knew, there were no past histories in this house. One night I was asleep in bed, it was very late (2 or 3 in the AM). I was 16yrs old at the time. The upstairs of this house had only two bedrooms with one bathroom. Each room with it's own sink and closet, but the shower and toilet was shared. Doors seperated the rooms and toilet. I heard the door to the second bedroom where the sink was open very violently. That noise is what woke me up. I heard very heavy footsteps walking from that room into the room with the toilet. The next door slammed open. I was sure that my parents down stairs had to hear it, it shook the floor it was so loud. My stepfather is also a very light sleeper. Naturally I pulled the covers over my head, praying that what ever it was would not know I was there. I was going through a 'slob period' at that time and had left a bowl on the floor with a spoon in it. Suddenly, I heard the heavy steps moving very close to me, and then the bowl was kicked into the wall, and shattered. The heavy foot steps sounded like they were almost at a run towards my bed. I then could hear heavy breathing directly over my head that was still covered up. I was scared to death. The heavy footsteps walked to the bedroom door and I heard them going down the stairs, but then they faded very quickly. I asked my parents the next morning if they heard anything, they had not. I never had an experience like that one again while I was living there. We moved out shortly after that. I still wonder to this day what the ghost was doing there, and what it wanted. Oh, the bowl on the floor was broken into tiny pieces the next morning. Other things did happen in this house, but none as scary as the one I just told you. I will start up another page to let you know what happened the other times. I promise, the others aren't as long as this one!!!!!! Jennifer
Nichole, I know you're probably wondering why I'm sending you all of these stories?! Well, I figured that you were a person that could appreciate them. I promise you that they are all true. Even my parents would tell you that they are 100% true. One day in the same two story house, my stepfather and I saw the same image walk across the formal living room. Even though my stepfather was in the kitchen, and I was in the family room we both saw the same image at the exact same time. After seeing it, I got up to go into the kitchen, and tell my parents what I saw. At the same time my stepfather was coming into the family room. We ended up running into eachother. He asked me why I was sneeking around the house, and then I explained to him what I saw, and we both realized that we had seen a ghost. The only other person that was in the house a t that time was my mother, but she was in the kitchen with my stepfather the whole time!!!!!!! On a different day, I was home sick with strep throat during the week. My mother and I had just come home from the doctor. I went straight up to my room and laid down to get some rest ( I was running a high fever). My mother was in her room downstairs (my room was upstairs). The phone rang and she answered it and sat down on her bed with her back to the door of the bedroom and was talking to my grandmother who was seeing how I was doing. My mother felt the back edge of the bed behind her drop down and bounce like someone plopping down on the bed. She did not think much of it, because I was known for doing that while she was on the phone. I never would say anything, I would just wait until she got off. When she did get off the phone, she came upstairs and asked me what I had needed earlier when I came in her room. I told her that I had not gone down to her room. I had been upstairs the whole time resting. She told me what had happened, and we both got a little freaked out, because the only people in the house were myself and my mother!!!!!!!! Anyways, that is all that has happened to me in that house, or really in my life. I have not had anymore experiences like that since we moved out of that house 7 years ago. I think that was just about enough!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer I would like to hear any good stories that you have heard, or that have happened to you. E-mail me at [email protected]
New York ?
Preston A woman named Hali lived in an old house there and claimed that the house always had a presence about it. It never frightened her but she was sure that a ghost was out and about. One day she was sitting in the living room when the light in the kitchen crashed to the floor. It appeared that the three little screws that hold the globe secure came unscrewed. Her father was working alone in the house about 10 years later when down came the light in the living room and shattered on the floor.
The current resident stated that "One day we were playing a dice game, on the kitchen table, when one of the dice landed on its corner and just sat there - balanced. We stared at each other before someone had the nerve to tap on the table. It wouldn�t fall over until we hit the table real hard."

Cambridge There was a young man who lived with his mother up on St. Andrews Street. The young man had a coin collection that was his pride and joy. One day his mother became angry with him. In her moment of anger she threw his precious coin collection into the back yard. The lad was heart broken. He searched desperately, but could not find all of the coins. He searched for hours - day after day. Later the young fellow took his own life. Many years later, a family rented the house. They claimed to have seen a ghost but that he appeared to be no threat to anyone. They graciously shared the premises for several years before the family decided to move to larger quarters. On moving day, all of the furniture was taken from the house except for the washing machine in the basement. When the man went to the basement to take the washer, there on the lid of the washer � someone had placed a collectable antique coin. It was as though the ghost had given a gift to the tenants for being good company to a troubled spirit.

phenomena
In 1877, Memphis, Tennessee experienced a rain of snakes that measured in length from between 12 and 18 inches.
On September 4, 1886, three separate showers of polished stones fell on Charleston, South Carolina. In 1893, a yellow-tinged cloud passing over Paderborn, Germany released a shower of living pond mussels.
In 1969, hundreds of seriously injured ducks of different species fell from the sky in St. Mary's City, Maryland. They suffered broken bones and hemorrhages, which they seem to have received while flying. But no one can say how.
� And to prove that strange rains can be more than dangerous, in 1951, a carpenter was working on a roof in D�sseldrof, Germany when he was impaled by a six-foot-long icicle that fell from the heavens.
� In 1758, a fog of "strange and extraordinary appearance" was witnessed by several Colonials in Connecticut. They said it arrived in thick bodies that would "break" when it struck buildings. Odder still, it emitted such heat that they found it difficult to breathe near it!
� Yes, heavy clouds form and meteorites occasionally strike the Earth. But in 1847 over Forest Hill, Arkansas, the two occurred together in a very strange fashion. Witnesses said a turbulent blanket of clouds "like a solid black fleece" quite suddenly covered the sky. But it looked as if it were lit from above by a red light. Then there was an explosive noise as a meteor tore through the clouds and smashed into the earth, creating an eight-foot-deep crater. In less than 20 minutes, the dark clouds were gone.
� In 1928, sailors aboard the H.M.S. Herald in the South China Sea saw a small white cloud sucking the rain water from a heavy dark cloud via a funnel-shaped waterspout.
In her book Timestorms, author Jenny Randle documents dozens of cases in which strange glowing mists and fog have been responsible for unexplained instances of apparent time travel and teleportation.

Masonic Maps of Washington The core of Washington D.C. is laid out according to a secret Masonic ritual. A pentagon can be traced through the streets of Washington focusing on the White House, and a satanic horned goat can be traced around the Capitol. These symbols are used to conjure up evil spirits and open a spiritual door to the occult. The leader of the nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, in October of 1995, at the Million Man March in D.C., talked about the strange Masonic origins of Washington. Material distributed by the Free the Masons Ministries of Washington describes Washington architecture as being Satanic.

Phantom Vehicle
by Summer
We live on an old country road named after the farmer that used to own the farm and farmhouse we live in. There isn't a lot of traffic on our road. Almost every evening in the Summer, we walk our three dogs after it gets dark. My son Austin and I were out one night and we saw the lights from a car coming down the road. We always call our dogs into a big field next to the road so they won't get hit or run over. So we went into the field and called our dogs. Then the lights disappeared... There wasn't any car... There also wasn't any place for a car to have gone on our road. No driveway or anything around where we saw the lights.
This isn't the only time this has happened either. One night my son and daughter were riding their four wheeler and they have to cross the road and I saw a car coming and so did my daughter, but then it just never came. It was just gone. Our road is pretty straight and there just isn't any place a vehicle could go if you see the lights where we live. Our neighbors driveway is in clear view and this car didn't come up that far.

They followed him and he jumped from the upper floor of the ballroom to the street below landing on his feet. The men followed, but were amazed at what they saw. In the spot where he landed were hoof prints imbedded in the pavement. They almost caught up to the stranger and then he vanished with a puff of sulferous smoke.

After a trip to Elmwood Cemetery ,where he was videotaping landscape and visiting a deceased friend's grave, he returned home and noticed the leaves of a plant moving in the corner of the room. He checked and found no draft or open windows. The next evening it happened again. Then the next evening it happened a third time each time around 6pm. Then on Good Friday he began to hear knocking. It seemed to be coming from his bedroom. Each time he went to check the knocking would stop only to happen again when he left the bedroom returning through a short hall to the living room. Then he noticed in the hall a closet folding door began to move. Then the door unfolded itself. He closed it several times only to watch it happen again. Then he went to get his video camera. He was able to capture 10min of the bedroom door and the closet door opening and closing. He also captured on film the knocking and the clothing in the closet moving ever more violently until he had enough and slammed the closet door closed with his foot. He then went to call a friend. As he was telling his friend that he was afraid to stay there that night he felt someone grab his arm and he dropped the phone. His friend let him spend the night and went with him the next day to sprinkle holy water in the apartment and say a prayer. The poltergeist activity never returned. It is known that the previous tenant died in that apartment.

Historical Manitou Spa Legend has it that Indians gave the land to the city of Manitou with the stipulation that the sacred spring which flowed from the spot never be covered. Due to the construction of the spa however, the well�s opening was covered, unleashing a curse upon the building. Many people believe the spot is evil and cite the curse as the reason that the spa had to be closed down due to flooding. The building remains in the center of Manitou Springs, fenced off from the public.
My ghosts
3802 Half Turn Rd, Apt 115 The bathroom in our old apartment was haunted. Most of the activity occurred whenever someone attempted to take a shower. A banging sound would be heard coming from the door as if someone had kicked or slammed into it. Frequently, no one was around who could have caused this occurrence. The door used to open when it banged until it was fixed by maintenance. After that the door started to close itself and sometimes refused to be opened, even when pulled on by two people. Things started to be thrown at me in the shower, such as a used razorblade and other small items and clothing. All of the objects came from within the bathroom. Once I saw the shadow of a female hand throwing one of the items (may possibly have belonged to my roommate) and I later saw it flick the light switch to turn it off. The lights started turning themselves off, always using the switch, every time I took a shower. A friend suggested that it was my own fear that caused them to do this, and although it is true that after I started schooling myself to be calm during the shower the lights did stop turning off, it fails to explain why the switch was constantly thrown when the lights were off. Also I doubt that the shadow of a hand had anything to do with my unconscious mind and really, that just sounds stupid. The bathroom had no mirrors and a strange brown substance dripped from the ceiling above the shower. It fell through once, leaving an unpleasant hole.
In the apartment, stuff would disappear, mostly magazines, and then reappear in odd locations. Our apartment was next to the boiler room and in the middle of the night our bedroom would vibrate with strange noises.

September 14, 2003 Lucifer says that the reason why the lights flicker on and off in this apartment so much is because of Leslie�s fluctuating mental status. If that were true then why is it that every time they do the electrical box�s lid is open. Last time I heard her feet in the hall.
Tonight I have planned a ritual using three image candles, if I get them, one black female for Mordred and two males, one red for Adonis and one white for Morpheous. I also have a red candle with my blood on it for an offering and to activate the spell. I�m digging a hole, burying a picture and tracing X�s over it with wax from all of the candles. I�m also going to try projection of my spirits and power transference again and this time I intend to take advantage of the resulting sexual energy.
