I live in the woods and they are haunted by several spirits. However they normally never cross the creek to the side that our house is on. These woods have been home to a satanic chruch, an orphanage where kids were tortured, and a place that native americans inhabited. A little girl ran away from the orphange and her remains were found when they broke ground to build a new subdivision. We have had spirits in our house but not like the one I am about to describe. It started after I had a dream about walking down my hallway into a spirit of an old woman with her hands and face pointed to the ceiling...In the dream I fell to the floor and started convulsing. Since then I have had someone blow on my neck, try and put their arms around me. It follows me where ever I go, even if I leave the house. I get the feeling that they want to talk through me if that makes sense. It disappears when my husband enters the room. I also have a baby and I have had another dream where the older woman talks to her in her crib and wont allow me to come in the room all I can do is listen over the baby monitor.

The Old Man By the Fireplace
A friend's mother had died and I flew out to give what support I could offer. Tired from my journey I dozed off on the couch. Through blurry eyes I saw an old man in archaic clothes sitting in the chair next to the fireplace. A short time later, I woke up much refreshed and inquired of my friend who the old geezer was. She was taken aback.
"Uh, old guy, balding, looks like he's a bit player in a revival of Showboat?" she asked.
"Right. Uncle or something?" I replied.
"No, I think that's the ghost who's been haunting mom, breaking stuff, making things fly around the room and such."
The rest of the family confirmed her story.

A Friend�s Warning
My best friend died from cancer. One night I was babysitting when I heard footsteps on the stairs. When I went to go see who was there, it was my friend. She told me in a quiet, serious voice, �Don�t get in the car.� Then she walked back up the stairs and disappeared. Later that week I was at a party with kids who were drinking and I almost accepted a ride home from some of them, but I remembered her warning and said no. The kids in the car had an accident and were all killed.

Whispers in the Night
I recently moved into a different house and the first night I was there alone I heard someone clearly whisper my nickname. My sister committed suicide 21 years ago and I'm wondering if it is her.

Falling Magazines
I had woken up from a terrible nightmare and I went to my living room because I couldn�t go back to sleep. In our living room we had about a hundred magazines propped up against the wall. I thought I heard something and when I looked up three of the magazines fell. There was no one else in the room but me.

The Scary Camping Trip
In 2001 a group of 16 of my friends decided to go on a camping trip somewhere in or near the black hills. I live in Minnesota. Me and my tent group decided to sneak out and go on a late-night hike. About half an hour into the woods we realized the trail we were on wasn't there anymore. After another half hour of looking for the trail, we gave up and took a rest on a rock. Hearing some crunching/crackling noise, we turned around to watch a tree fall (this was at 12:57am). Then we heard it again. We turned our heads to see the same tree fall once more. After that our only flashlight went out and a pale-yellow shadow appeared, which looked like a person. We took off running and then realized that someone wasn't with us. We ran about half way back and found him huddled next to a tree with his eyes closed and his hands over his head. Then our flashlight came on and we found ourselves back on the trail. When I checked my watch, it was 12:58am, meaning all this happened in one minute. We got back to our tents and one of my friends and we all had spots of blood on the front of our. We all had nosebleeds.

Buffalo Grove, a condo
Every night for the past three years residents have encountered apparitions, objects moving and flying across the room, being slapped in the face, and cold touching sensations to their face and hands. The resident believes that her dead parents who lived nearby are visiting her, along with an evil spirit who is harmful. Her children experienced the same strange happenings.

Ghostly Father
We only lived in our house for about 6 months after my father died because weird stuff started happening. We had a horseshoe driveway that went around the house. Dad always drove all the way around when he came home from work. A week or so after he died we saw headlights go around the house and stop in his parking spot. Then we heard footsteps coming up the front porch and found his boots outside the front door where he always left them. All of his stuff had been given away to charity or taken to my grandmothers, including his boots. My mother was sleeping in the same bed she shared with my father and she woke up to she him standing at the foot of it. We moved and we didn't see any of these things again but my sister, who my mother was pregnant with at the time of my fathers death, and myself have dreams of him and sometimes sit up in bed and talk to him in our sleep.

Ghostly Woods
I was at my friend�s house. The woods in the back of her house are said to be haunted. I was in the woods when I heard a voice. It was mumbling something. I turned around to go back to her house when I saw a women figure slowly walk past me.

Moon Twp. a graveyard
There's a small part of the graveyard that is referred to as Dameon�s Circle. It's a grave with the name Charles Dameon and the quote in etchy writing, "Death is only the beginning". This gravestone is surrounded by an unexplainable circle of dead grass. In the woods is a statue of a man. When walking past the statue the first time witnesses thought it looked like it was made with its arms crossed and its head on its shoulders. Next to the grave they found a candle lit next to the grave stone. Three witnesses saw a man run across the field in a black cloak. On returning, they saw the statue with its arms spread out with the head in its right hand. One felt something touch his shoulder, but nothing was there. A huge gust of wind appeared on a formally windless night. When they drove past the front entrance to the cemetery, behind the closed gate stood a man in a black cloak, with his hand clenched on the bars as if he was locked in a prison.

Father�s Ghost
I had spent the night at a friend�s house. I started to fall asleep when I had a feeling of someone looking at me. I opened my eyes and there in the doorway was the figure of a man with light all around him. I pulled the covers over my head and when I brought them off he was gone and the hallway was pitch dark. I couldn't see his face but I thought it was my friend�s father, who had died about 6months-1yr before this. It hasn�t happened again since.

The Colored Pencil
I was about six years old and I was in my house. I was coming from the kitchen going to the living room, holding my puppy. I noticed one of my colored pencils lying on the floor. I wanted to pick it up to clean the house, but I was too lazy. I went to lay on the couch and I felt something touch my waist. The colored pencil was now on the sofa with me.

The Thing that Haunted Our House
It started in the summer of 1996. The first time anything happened was when we had company over for dinner and a few drinks. I went to hand a friend his shot when it moved away from me. I noticed he was starring at the glass. When I went to reach for it again it slid to the far side of the coffee table. When he tried to grab it, it went flying across the room, landing on the floor after hitting the wall, never spilling a drop. One morning had just got in the shower when I heard her screaming. She had wet down her hair to wash it and it had frozen solid. Another time my daughter�s backpack went crazy and was flying all over the house. A friend and I tried to chase it to no avail. It finally stopped in the living room when it got stuck under the love seat. We were constantly sick inside the house. 15 minutes outside and the sick feeling would go away. One morning while I was getting ready for work it clawed my chest. There were 11 claw marks about 8 inches long and swollen very bad. It looked more like razor cuts than a claw mark. This happened to me twice. It never liked it when company came over and stayed the night either. It crushed them when they went to bed. This happened to my wife more than once. We had two different churches come in to try and cleanse the house that really pissed it off. That�s when it started speaking to us. What it had to say wasn�t very nice either. One Sunday morning my wife was sitting on the living room floor and I was on the couch. This is the first time it spoke to us, saying, �Fuck the bitch and kill her.� The voice didn�t speak loud at all but it seemed to tear me up on the insides when it did speak. We saw it after about 6 months. One night around 3 am it woke us up and it had brought a dog and a female with it. By the time we finally ran it had scared off most of my friends. Many still refuse to come over. This went on for five years. One evening I started getting bad off, throwing up etc., so I grabbed my camera and went and sat on the front porch. I took a picture of the moon. The next day when I downloaded the pictures one of them was interesting.

Haunted Stuffed Animal
When I was about 12-13 years of age I won a life sized stuffed animal in a game at the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. When I brought it back home, I placed it in a corner next to the door in my room. A few days after I noticed something odd about it. It just seemed like it was looking at me. Each time I would pass my room on my way to the living room, I would feel very uncomfortable. This feeling got worse and worse to the point where I was terrified by it. One night in bed, something woke me and I noticed that the stuffed animal was in a different position (looking at me versus looking towards the door). When I awoke the second time it was next to my bed. I went screaming into my parent�s room, but my dad walked into my room only to find the stuffed animal in the corner as usual. The next day my dad removed the stuffed animal and put it in the garbage and I never say it again.

Strange Screams
It all started one winter night when a friend and I were smoking weed in my bedroom in my parents' house in the country. Suddenly, a high-pitched wail began to sound outside of my window. It sounded exactly like a screaming baby. We both heard it, but did nothing. A week later, I was standing on my back porch, once again smoking, and I heard it again. This time I was by myself. It was coming from about thirty feet away to my right. I began to shout, "Shut the hell up!" but the screaming continued in brief spurts. Then it sounded as if the screaming were coming from thirty feet to the left. I then heard bushes rustling, yet no animal or ghost or whatever made any sort of appearance. Throughout the years, I have heard the noise numerous times, always at night, and not always when I am stoned. Its patterns are the same: sounds come from one end of the yard and then suddenly a completely different area. Through certain points, I have heard nothing from it, yet it has made noise in all types of weather. Sometimes it will go away for a long time and one night it will just be back. It hasn't happened to me since March 2002. This isn't the only bizarre thing that has happened in my home. None of these ghosts have ever tried to harm me.

Dead Friend
A really good friend of mine died in a car accident on June 22,2002. She and I used to spend a lot of time alone in my house. One day she was upstairs in my sister�s room while I was downstairs on the phone. I heard a high-pitched scream and she was saying "Oh My God Amanda, Oh My God Amanda � there�s something up there.� Later that year I started hearing sounds in my house that sounded like my family members, but it was never them. I would hear my brother come home and start warming something up in the microwave and I would go downstairs and find no one there. We got our house cleansed and no longer heard anything. Just recently after Shelly died I have started hearing the noises again. Now I have dreams of her and I see her screaming in my sisters room like she did that day. In other dreams she looks at me and tells me she loves me. I take to long to respond and when I do its too late I�m already awake and I hear myself say it aloud.

Haunted Apartment The collie Olive would go crazy and hide behind the coffee table and lights would flicker on and off. One day all the taps and showers were on and the entire house was fogged up. On the windows and mirrors, there was what looked like little children's fingerprints and in some of the mirrors, the word �Play� was written.

Dream Lovers
I once had a dream that I was at a boarding school and fell in love with a boy named Justin. Me and my sis are starting NDBG in September and we asked for a list of all the clubs and sports and their presidents and ect. Stephanie and I were looking at drama and there was an interview with the president, Justin, with his e-mail address. He�s always sending me jokes and stuff and he told me he made them up. I told him about my dream and he said that he had the same dream but instead of a boy named Justin it was a girl named Fiona. We started dating last week and we are soulmates.

The Tuba
When I was five I made up an imaginary friend. Pretty soon I could see my friend. I I asked my friend when I was six, "Do you see my friend? He�s right there on the swings." The swings were moving but my friends just said, "Its the wind." Now at age 12 I can still sometimes see Rocky. He has become evil. He pulls pranks on people and they think it�s me. I looked it up on the internet and it turns out its something called a tuba. An imaginary friend that someone concentrates really hard on, but as the years pass the friend becomes evil and starts to have a mind of its own. I named my friend Rocky because he is made out of a whole bunch of rocks. Just a week ago I was in a fight with Rocky and he got mad at me and he threw me into the street in front of a car. I broke my arm. Then a few days ago I was fighting with my only friend Aubery and she got mad and left. I later told Rocky what a bitch Aubery was. I didn't see him till the next morning. Aubery called me early in the morning and said that someone had trashed her room and grabbed her arm in the night. She came over and I saw the finger impressions on her skin.

My Mother's Playmates
by Melissa D.
When I was about nine or 10 years old, I remember having a very heated discussion with my younger sister. She was convinced that she had seen a ghost, and I was determined to prove her wrong. I told her there was no such thing as ghosts and that she imagined the whole thing or was just lying. All of a sudden, in the middle of the argument, my mother interrupted by telling me to stop calling my sister a liar. My mother grew up on a farm in Carrollton, Virginia. On this farm, about a 100 feet from the old house, there was an old run-down barn. It was two stories high and the wood had turned black because it was so old and abandoned. My mother had played in barn when she was living on the farm. She told my sister and me that one day she was bored, so she went to the barn to slide down some type of shaft. She said when she entered the barn, she heard rustling like someone was playing in the hay. She ignored the sound and began to climb to top of the slide. On the third trip down the slide, my mother hit the hay and a little white figure appeared before her. She described the figure as Casper-looking, because it looked just like the cartoon character Casper, the Friendly Ghost. The cloudy figure started throwing hay over her head and she knew it was playing with her and not trying to hurt her. She started up the slide again and the little figure floated up there with her. The little Casper slid down the slide with her, but it was floating the entire time, not actually touching the metal. She became so involved in play that she did not even realize that more little Caspers had appeared and joined in the fun. The next day she played alone, as well as the day after that. The Caspers never appeared again.

Man in the Silver Spacesuit
by Lee C.
was in bed one night when I felt I needed to go to the bathroom. When I opened the bathroom door and put the light on, I saw this man standing there, but I could see through him. He was silver and glowing, and he had on a spacesuit. I stood staring at him and he looked right into my eyes. Then he spoke to me with a normal, gentle voice. He said, "Don't be afraid." I shook my head and then he said, "Do you know who I am?" I shook my head. Then he said, "Touch me." I reached out to touch his stomach, but my hand went right through him. It just felt like nothing was there. The man took me by the hand and led me to the landing window. We stood there together and he said. "Don't worry, I won't come again." With that, he let go of my hand and simply floated up and out of the window. He disappeared about five feet away from the window.

The Ghost from the Wardrobe
by Donna B.
One night I went to bed about midnight and my bedside lamp was broken, so I had to switch off the top light by the door and scamper to my bed in the dark. I raised my blanket to get into my bed and briefly glimpsed the color image of a child standing close to the end of my bed. She seemed to glow in the dark. The next day, I told my mother what happened the night before. I began to describe what the girl was wearing and my mum cited exactly what the girl was wearing before I finished my sentence. I sat in awe when my mum told me she had already seen her on two separate occasions. One night she saw the girl emerge from the wardrobe and to watch her. The second time my mum saw her leave my room and enter hers. The girl was about seven and looked West Indian with her hair plaited. She carried a cuddly toy and sucked her thumb. She wore red jeans and a blue top.

Suicide Ghost
by Satori
At my old college, an all-girls Catholic school, there was a bathroom everyone swore was haunted. People always talked about icy winds, hearing and seeing things and a feeling of being watched. One Halloween my friend and I decided to go and talk to this spirit. We went into a bathroom stall with a bathtub because that seemed to be the center of the energy. My friend got into the tub and started feeling around. I did too and I felt the most amazing feeling - a tingling-like electric current coming from the walls and the faucets. We got out of the tub and that's when I saw it: the pale image of a young girl with dark hair and deep sad eyes. She was wearing some kind of slip thing; her wrists were cut and her blood was going down the drain. She looked like me.
"I think she put the razor in the soap dish," I said to my friend. "I know," she answered. Suddenly, I felt this presence, this tingling warm feeling inside, like the way your arms prickle before a storm. I said to it, "Come out. Don't be afraid." And the feeling got stronger. Then I said, "It's okay, we understand you can go back." And the feeling seemed to move upward in my body until it disappeared. Then there was no more energy. When we rose to leave, I felt this overwhelming sadness and loneliness. I said to her gently, "I'm so sorry, but we can't help you. You need to go back now." Then I felt the sadness lift and the room grew lighter. I felt her leave. She never returned and no one spoke of her again.

Unexplained Death Notice
by William R.
While working on a project, my wife came out to the doorway and read me an article in the obituaries concerning the death of a son of one of my close friends. It described the cause of his death exactly. He had fallen overboard from his boat. While we were having dinner in a mobile home we were staying in, my ex-wife came in and asked if we knew that Jimmy Creaser had died, and that his mother and father were over at her camp if we would like to see them. Upon arriving at her camp, we expressed our condolences. His mother asked how we knew about his death, as we were on the road to New Hampshire. I replied that we had read it in the Foster's. She informed me that she did not submit it to the Foster's, only to the Boston papers, which we do not get. The wife read me the notice two days before his death, from a paper that the notice had not been put in. Upon our return to Arizona, we scoured the Foster's obits and the papers for that week and could find no notice of the article she had read to me. I e-mailed the librarian at the Foster's asking for info and described the article and she could find no notice concerning it.

Comforting Angels
by Stephanie F.
On December 23,1997, my family and I all drove down to Corpus Christi, Texas where my great-grandma lived. We had gotten a call earlier that day telling us that she did not have much longer to live. She had already gone to sleep when we arrived, so we weren't allowed to see her until the next morning. I decided to visit her anyway. I walked into her room to find her lying awake in her bed. She looked up at me and started telling me about the things that had happened to her during her life. We got into a deep conversation about the many blessings and interesting things we had seen. We had been talking for about an hour when the room got quiet again. She then started telling me about how the night before around one in the morning, after everyone had left the room and she was by herself, that she heard quiet whispers coming from her closet which lay open. She described the people she saw as angels - a male and a female. They stayed with her through the night comforting her and telling her it would be alright, to not be afraid to die. When she finished telling me about them, she had the biggest smile on her face. "I'm not afraid to die anymore," she said. I left shortly after to go back to bed. She died sometime that morning around four.

The Creature

When I was 5 or 6 me, my older cousin and his friend were walking back to my house after dark. Around the side of my house I saw a white shadowy thing. It didn�t seem to notice us. It seemed to glow around the outside. The white thing looked at me then disappeared altogether.
Another time I was by myself walking home from my cousin�s when I was 11. The creature was in the same place as last time. It saw me straight away and disappeared again.

Haunted Barracks
E-mail address: [email protected]
The offices in 'B'-barracks were open to the corridor so you could see anyone who walked past. When footsteps were heard plodding down the corridor and past the door, no one was there. The lavatories turned icy cold and all your neck hairs stood up when using the facilities. In the bar room upstairs the windows were inaccessible, and the guy with the only keys lived twenty miles away. Each Thursday morning all of the pictures were always turned to face the wall, and all of the glasses and bottles placed in geometric patterns on the floor. When the old building was demolished to make way for houses, all of a sudden the workmen stopped, and told nobody why. A priest eventually arrived and returned only the once. The disturbances have since stopped.

Ghost Children
When my son was about 2 yrs. old he was always telling me about a girlfriend he had whose name was Treiney. When he had cookies she also had to have one. At the time I thought he was just trying to get another cookie, etc., but one night I looked in on him, as he was laughing and playing in bed and he was clear over on the edge of the bed. He wouldn't move over when I tried to settle him down, because Treiney was there. After I told her to settle down and go to sleep, they both did. Since then I have learned that until they reach the age of four most children are aware of spirit children who come to play."

Possession
E-mail address: [email protected]
When I was 9 years old, I was sitting in my basement room reading Nightstalkers. When I was finished, I tried to go to sleep. After about 20 minutes I went upstairs to see my mother on the top floor of our 4-story house, because there was pressure in my chest, and I couldn't get to sleep. I went down to the kitchen, warmed up some milk, and went back downstairs. After an unknown amount of time had past, my mom said she had awoken in the middle of the night with a feeling like there was a presence in the house. She went through every room in the house praying over all the kids and over every room in the house. When she got to the basement (my room) she came over to check on me and when she touched my arm to roll me over to see if I was sleeping, she said my skin felt like ice and I looked dead. She said that she tried several times to shake me awake, but to no avail. She said that after shouting my name three times, I turned my head, opened my eyes (which had a rolled back appearance) and with a voice that wasn't my own said �Dave's not here anymore.� Ever since that day I have some sort of extra sense of the paranormal/ supernatural.

Shaking Bed
E-mail address: [email protected]
I have always been somewhat sensitive to the spirit world. When I was thirteen, I began having nightmares that entailed complete blackness, an ominous presence, and a fear that I had never before felt in my life. I had these over and over again. After the recurrent nightmares started, strange things started to happen. I had just come home from school, walked in my room, put my books on my desk and sat on my bed to take my shoes off. I wasn't on the bed long and the bed started shaking up and down.

The most odd thing that has ever happened to me was at the old State Hospital in Bartonville, IL. One afternoon a friend and myself went on a search to find the graveyards where the patients had been buried. As I was walking through one of the graveyards I had the feeling of someone watching me. I really payed no attention to this because it happens all the time. The only thing that really frightened me was that when I began to walk alittle more and started looking at more headstones, I had a sudden panic attack and was short of breath. This is very odd because in all the years of my many encounters this has been the most extreme yet. Any help on what was happening to me would be very helpful. I would also like to talk about dreams I used to have as a child. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling that I was lost. As i would sit there for a moment I could hear voices echoeing inside my head. It was very frightening. These voices were not clear to me though and I could not understand what was being said. If anyone has any information about what these voices were trying to "maybe" say....please respond. ~thank you Wednesday, May 22nd 2002 - 10:52:53 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Laurie Leygraaf E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: I recently moved into a different house and the first night I was there alone I heard someone wisper my nickname really clear.

Now I live in Minnesota, so it was kind of a big trip, but after weeks of fundraising we got to go. When we finally got there, around 11:00pm, we were emediatly sent to our tents by the chaperones becuase our curfew was 10:30pm. Well, me and my tent group (Me, Randy, Jarred, and Cody) weren't really tired and decided to sneak out and go on a "late-night hike". About half an hour in to the woods we realized the trail we were on, wasn't there anymore. After another half an hour of looking for the trail, we gave up and took a rest on a rock. Not knowing what to do we just stared off into the darkness. Hearing some crunching/crackling noise, we turned around to watch a tree fall (this was at 12:57am). Thinking nothing of it we turned our heads back around and shrugged it off. Than we heard it again. We turned our heads to see the exact same tree fall once more! After that our one and only flashlight went out, and a pale-yellow shadow appeared in the form of a human. We emediatly ran without looking back. Exhausted from running we stopped and realized Cody wasn't with us. We ran about half way back and found him huddled next to a tree with his eyes closed and hands over his head. Then our flashlight came on and found ourselves back on the trail. When I checked my watch, it was 12:58am, MEANING ALL THIS HAPPENED IN ONLY A MINUET (unless my watch was broken)!!! We got back to our tents and Jarred said I had spots of blood on the front of my shirt and so did everyone else. We all had nose bleeds! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT???

Monday, April 29th 2002 - 06:15:54 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Wild Bill E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: Mine isn't exactly a direct encounter. For as long as I can remember I have always had vivid dreams. I can no longer remember when this has started, but it continues to this day. At least once or twice every month I have a dream about a place I have been to. In these dreams I can see, well I guess I'd call it a "spirit world". I'd see people that I knew didn't live in the area at the time I was there or only half bodies with the other areas kind of phased out. A recent one was about my grandparent's house. Their house is located right next door to a cemetary. Since I was little I had always had weird feelings about the cemetary. In the dream my uncle who lives about a mile or 2 away from their house was walking with me through the cemetary. He told me that there was something that he wanted to show me. I didn't know exactly what he was planning on showing me, but I followed him anyway. We eventually stopped in front of a tombstone and he told me that my Great Uncle who I was named after rested there. At that moment the grave began to glow in a sort of yellowish light and my uncle had disappeared. I saw a figure that I assumed was my Great Uncle, but I didn't know. I woke up in a cold sweat and immediately went downstairs and looked through a family album to see what my great uncle looked like. Of course the picture in the album matched the figure I saw in my dream perfectly. But the weirdest part is every time that I walk through the graveyard at night the tombstone appears to glow in a yellowish hue. I don't know how a dream like that could transfer over to reality, but I do know that I always see it glowing. But the worst part is no one else can, and nobody believes me. I have since given up on telling people about my dreams, but ever since the dream of my Great Uncle's ghost every time I pass through and area in that's been in my dream I can always tell that something else is there. I can't explain it and have no choice but to accept it. If anyone has any clue about the dreams I have or the weird shit I see e-mail me.

I had went to my room being that the book was long and boring and went to sleep. She had told me before that the most common strange encounters were lights,computers,t.v's, etc. flashing or turning on and off. Well,then the dream came. A bald man flashing on and off the screen of a t.v. I woke up screaming and my mom came rushing in. I told her of the dream and a look of terror spread across her face. She said she had the same dream. Then the lights began to flicker.... In the morning, the electricians came to fix the power. They could not find the cause of the power failure and it took them weeks to fix it. I was 7 at the time.

Tuesday, October 16th 2001 - 08:14:19 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Jason Lamanna E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: On 10/03/01 I went to the house of a family friend who had passed away in Feb. of 2001. I went with my mother and a friend of hers. The house has been vacant for a few months and my mother usually goes to check on it because the deceased relatives live out of state. Not soon after his death, I heard stories of how books flew off the shelves at the house while home health aides were still taking care of his elderly wife. I dismissed them as tall tales or at the very most some type of explainable occurrence. As the three of us entered the house, my mother, who was very close to the deceased, proceeded to talk outloud and stated that she was there to check on the house. She has seen and witnessed some of the weird things that have gone on in the house since his death. I thought it to be strange that she was speaking to him but I went along with it none the less. As we entered the livingroom we heard a very erie noise that seemed to be coming from inside the house. Again being skeptical, I though that maybe the noise was coming from the outside until I heard it for a second time. We continued to check the downstairs of the house for any thing out of the ordinary. My mother stated that some of the furnature that she had rearranged after his death was back to where it was before he died. This might have been normal but she stated that nobody has been in the house. Still I was skeptical. As we proceeded upstiars to check on the bedrooms my mother noticed that all of the doors upstairs were open. She stated that when she checked on the house last, she personally closed all of the doors. Still I was skeptical. We entered the study where the deceased had spent alot of time reading. As we left the room, had I not seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it, a book flew oof the shelf and landed ing the middle of the room. These were tightly packed books in a rather deep book case. I took physics in the past and I tried to find and explanation to what had just happended before my eyes. I'm still at a loss. I look forward to going back to the house to see if it happens again.

When i was 16 me and some of my freinds were riding around on the back roads near my house when all of the sudden we seen a white owl flying right at us. My friend jay was driving and he slammed on the breaks. We just knew we where going to hit this owl. But it went right through the car and we looked behind us only to see it sitting on the ground. So we decided we were gonna see what was going on. As we walked towards the owl it vanished , almost like it melted away into thin air. Now this encounter happened just 5 days ago. I was in the process of buying a new car. So me and my freind jay (the same guy who was driving in the owl inncident) were out test driving a number of different cars. We came to a car lot that had a bunch of old chevy trucks. So we decided to drive a couple and see if i liked any of them. We drove 2 and everything was going good. But when we drove the third one we got freaked. We had driven the truck for about 10 minutes when all the sudden the doors locked and we couldnt unlock them. Then the radio started playing an old news broadcast from a station that burned down and never reopened, so the station didnt exist. Anyway we were still trying to get the doors unlocked when i became unable to control the wheel. The truck was driving itsself and we crashed right into a lamp pole and everything stopped. The radio quit playing and the doors unlocked. But when we got out of the truck and saw the damage we just knew i was gonna have to buy this truck. But when we got back to the car lot and started to get out of the truck we noticed all the damage was gone. So we just gave the keys back to the car dealer and we went elsewhere.

Schaub E-mail address: [email protected] Homepage URL: http://aol Your Encounter: My occurance happened to me while working for northland country club. After only a few days of working their I heard loud foot pounding,and lights shutting off and on.That stuff I shrugged off as nothing maybe old pipes,maybe the heater,maybe someone making a joke.Then one night(I worked a 3am-12noon cleaning job)I saw a little boy looking at me through the glass like he was outside just looking at me this was at 3:30am when I took a double take the figure was gone,to this day I can still picture what he was wearing.Anyway at about 4am I had to unlock the womans lockerroom door to the outside,I had to go through the room to get to the door on my way I put my cleaning cart to the side ot of the way,well I unlocked it went through a couple swinging doors through the ladies bathroom stalls area then remembered that I had left my cart behind, so I went back to the swinging doors and (smack)right in the kisser I got hit with the swinging door.Oww.. I shrugged that off with my own stupidity.But than at break which I took at 4:30 up in thew employee lounge I heard every pot an pan in the kitchen hit the floor the loudest mess you can think of, when I got to the kitchen three floors down not one thing disturbed not one thing on the floor so the pans and things hanging were still their.weird....Than at 5:15-5:30 I saw the bad one in the emplee lounge area. I went up to get supplies for my cart and on my return I saw down the hall from me a figure of a man with dark greyishred eyes and dark close just staring at me, I took a double take and the figure was still their and coming closer so I ran,And did I run I ran down the short hall just around the corner because on the other side was the stairwell down to the kitchen or another short hall to an escape area to the outside.But on making it to the safe area I did not something hit me in the back(a hand)and pushed me down one flight of stairs,I got up and ran so fast down the rest of the flights of stairs through the kitchen,through the lower grill and bar up a another flight of stairs to the outside. Only then did I look back. It did happen I cant explain it.

I was in a very deep sleep when suddenly my covers were pulled from me. As I sat up and tried to focous on what could have stiped me of my cover i saw a veague immage of a woman standing there. I was rather scared to I decided I would make my self belive I was only dreaming. About 3-4 days later I had another odd experince but this one couldnt be mistaken for a dream. I was about 9 at night and I was beggining to fall asleep when I noticed my radio was acting up. I kind of ignored it but then all of a sudden it picked up and slammed against my wall. I was stunned. I decided I had no choice but to investogate. As I slowly sat up I saw a figure near my closet. I very swiftly jumped out of bed and away from the closet. As i turned on the light i noticed it was gone (what ever it was) but i did not feel safe in my room so i decided to sleep on my couch. For some time things seemed to calm down. But then of couse it flared back up one night. It was about 1-2 in the morning I heard a strage noise and a light voice. I slowly opend my eyes afraid of what i might see. It looked to me like a woman of the 1700's or something. she was sitting there weaving something with a large smile on her face. As I sat up to see excatally what she was doing she slowly dissapated. Even as wright this i feel the hair on the back of my neck standing.I alwys feel someone/something here watching me in my home. And i'm not sure what will happen next. If you have any suggestions to these experinces or ideas maybe even questions please just e-mail me. I would love to have a better understanding of what is vistiting me and why me. Thursday, September 6th 2001 - 02:27:06 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Brenda E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: I'm really not sure what this was but here it goes... About two years ago I bought a brand new radio/cd player and set it up in my bedroom. Not long after I was listening to music and putting away my laundry. When I finished I went to turn off the radio and leave the room. Just as I got to my bedroom door the radio turned on. I walked back over and reached out to push the power button when it shut off, my finger about an inch away! I was a bit confused, wondering how that happened but rationalized it away. I walked out again and once more the radio came back on!! Now I was getting a little freaked. I again walked over and went to turn it off and it shut off by itself without my touching it. I figured it had to be the plug in the wall, maybe it was loose or something. I jumped up and down a couple times (looking like a complete idiot i'm sure) but nothing happened. I then checked the plug to find that it was snuggly plugged into the outlet. It has never happened again since then. Other little things have happened in the 5 years that I've lived here. I here my name called, and my husbands not home yet, and once while walking downstairs I felt a breeze across my face and had goose bumps instantly. I had to grab on to the railing because the sensation was overwhelming. I had gotten up in the night to get a something to drink, after that happened i went back up to bed not feeling that thirsty after all! Tuesday, September 4th 2001 - 09:07:43 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: K.Williams E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: These are encounters my girlfriend has had. When she was younger her mother had a pet peeve about where she would leave her purse everytime she came into the house, she would always just leave her purse just lying around so her mother would take it and put it different places around the house like behind the door or in the closet.They always fought about where to keep her purse. About a month after her mother passed away in 1991, little things began to happen around the house. The oven timer would go off by itself. This always seemed to happen when she was there alone for several hours so there was no way her father could have set it to go off. This continued off and on for almost 6 months until she finally asked her mother in a loud voice to please stop turning on the timer. There was one other incident that occured about a month after her death. My girlfriend was getting ready to go shopping and had placed her coat and purse on the end of couch. She continued to get ready to go while she was on the phone with a friend. She told her friend she would be right over to her house as soon as she finished putting on shoes coat and grabbed her purse. She got on shoes picked up coat and NO PURSE. She began to search the whole couch for it removing newspapers and cushions until couch was bare. Still no purse. She replaced all of these items and began to search the house thinking to herself she must have moved it and just did not remember. After searching for 15 minutes she gave up sat down on couch and told her friend she could not go shopping without her purse. At this point she looked to opposite end of the couch and there was her purse neatly placed atop the newspapers she had just removed and replaced. She felt this was her mother letting her know she was still watching her and to PUT her purse up. It has now been 10 years since her moms death and we live in a house together. Recently we have had items disappear for several minutes or days and then turn up again. One of these instantances was with a pill bottle. My girlfriend was looking for her asthma pill bottle she had placed on the end of kitchen counter. Frustrated after looking for 5 minutes she asked me to help her find her pills. We began to look all over the counter, kitchen, living room and even the bathroom. We could not find them anywhere. Just when my girlfriend was about to give up, she asked whoever took my pills please give them back. We continued to look and both were astonished to see the bottle sitting on the end of the counter in the kitchen where we both had looked at at least 4 times. Dont know if this is her mother yet again or a new ghost we have. I do know our cat seems to chase things that are not there.

I was having a sleep over with my freind and some how like any-other sleep over we started getting into a creeped out mode as we like to call it. A few weeks prior to this encounter we were hanging out outside when all of a sudden it got really dark and hard to see. A few minutes later we saw a old women walking down our street that we had never seen before. We decided to say Hi just to be funny to show of to our other younger freinds. We all started shouting Hellos and His but she didnt answer so I decided to say Hi my self and she answered. It was terrifing to see this womens face she had dark green eyes and had a long thin scar running down her face. She stared at me like we had been old friends and smiled and said Hi. We didnt think much of it untill that night. We were in my basement and as we said we were in creeped out mode. So we decided to do like any other person so we got out my Quija board. After getting no answers with the Quija board we decided to go into the back-room were we hade been hearing noises during the Quija board. We got a flash-light and tried to get some answers but none of my freinds could see anything, so i decided to try to look. When i first looked in the dark unfirnished room i saw nothing but the light of my flashlight. And that was untill i turned away to say i didnt see anything, and then i saw her. The same old women we had just seen,, was appearing in the dark black-room. She was nothing but a light figure floating aound the darness. We were so freaked out that we were to afraid to sleep that night so we went up-stairs and stayed up. The next night i was sleeping in my room when i suddenly woke-up to a strange figure sitting in my chair. She was staring straight at me with the same old green eyes. After that i dont remember what happened. Ever since i have been seeing this same old figure appearing all over my house. I want to believe that it is a guarding angel of my grandmother.

The earliest time I can remember something happening was back when I was in 1st or 2nd grade (I am now 32). I was in my parents' bed due to nightmares. While trying to go to sleep, I was pulled out of bed my someone not there (visually), whatever it was had a thunb and two fingers. I also had my bed burst into flames unexplainably (Iwas not harmed). Then, when I was a JR in high school, I woke up because I was having problems breathing. There was a pressure on my abdomen with a swirling sensation, like a whirlpool, working inward (like something trying to get in). The really strange part was that I knew I was awake because I could hear my radio, and see the green light from my digital clock. Yet, I could not move a single muscle. I could not open my eyes, speak, or get out of bed. Then I heard a deep deep gutteral laughter. Needless to say I was scared to death. I do not know what that was all about, but I know we were messing with ouji boards earlier that day. I have not had a similar experience since -- I have however woke up unable to move, but the sensation has been completely different. The swirling has never been there since. Nor the laughter. The whole "feeling" is completely different. Not menacing. Since moving into this house we have had very strange things happen. Doors opening and closing on there own, animals behaving oddly, a bottle broke once with no one else near it and no trace of glass to be found, sounds of glass breaking but nothing found broke, lights turning of and on on their own, fixtures falling to the floor just as I move from that specific spot, sounds that are not accounted for, strange images on photos, things disappearing then reappearing,having legs and feet fondled when the only other person in the house is my wife and she's asleep, there are so many things that I can not list here. Suffice it to say, my life has been interesting to say the least. Most people don't believe in this, others don't want to. But this is a real phenomena. May not be ghosts/spirits/demons but it is something.

A week later I found out that he did go over a cliff/edge. But when they did the autopsy it showed he had a heart attack. I don't believe that kuz not too long before he went over (maybe a month) he told me that he hated his life and he waz goin to end. But I guess I didn't tell anyone kuz he made me promise not to tell (and he made it sound like he waz going something good). But ever since then I get nightfrights and in very one he trys to kill me. He obviouly blames me for his death. I have been blaming myself for the last 5 years probably kuz I think it is my fault but everyone tells me its not but I know better. If I would have told someone he would still be here today. In Loving memory of Mike Delaney!!

The first day that we stayed was one of the many strangest expriences we have had. I was in the kitchen making dinner. While I was at the stove, the breezeway door swung open. I thought it was my little sister, so I turned and said dinner is almost ready. To my surprise, my sister was not there. No one was there. While I stood there trying to find an explanation, the door then closed and latched unto the lock. Ever sense this has happened, more things have happened. Whatever it is, I know it loves to play tricks. It loves to turn on and off the lights, and open and shut doors. It also loves to tease my dog. My dog will be in a complete sleep, and she will get up and start growling and barking at something in front of her. My dad had an experience before that scared him so bad. One night he fell asleep on the couch. In the middle of the night he said he woke up because he felt someone sit down on the end of the couch. And when he went to get up, he said it felt like there was something stopping him from moving his legs off the couch. Let's just say he doesn't sleep on the couch anymore. I think one of the most scariest thing is that you always feel that there is someone there. My family and I basically see it as just a guardian angel. My friends however find it really hard to sleepover my house.

I want to be a ghost hunter in the future, and I'll do whatever I can to get as close to them as possible. I'm not scared of them, but I am thrilled by them. I can feel their presence in my house and they follow me sometimes. I recently talked to these spirits. The earlier experience was a few months ago back in April I think. We found out these spirits in my house, their were two of them. One's name was 'Rick.' and the other 'Shane.' They told me that they lived here back in the 1920's on a farm. They said they thought we were beautiful and they would protect us from evil. We soon forgot to talk to them. The next time we found a boy, ten years old, named, "Zum." He's very playful and loves to dance around and move the planchette around the table!!! He keeps evil away from us too!

One night i was sleeping on the couch (the couch unfolds into a bed) and im just laying there, trying to fall asleep then suddenly i felt someone gently caress my face. Then shortly after i fell asleep. The next morning i asked my Dad if he touched my face last night an he said no he didn't. Then when i told Jodie (my Aunt Elaine's daughter) that i felt that the other night and she said that her Mom loved me like i was one of her children. And to this day whenever i feel hurt or upset i feel her hugging me.

Lerew E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: In August of 1999 I was looking for a place to rent. A friend told me about an abandoned house next door to his that was owned by his landlord. He gave me the information. upon seeing the home I was immediatly compelled to live there. I learned later that the house was built in 1917 and had been owned by the same family all along. The front porch was piled full of old junk. I could not see to well into the windows but I could tell it was still furnished. I contacted the owner Douglas Courtney and he told me he had moved out of it 6 years prior at the age of 60 because he had gotten remarried and his new wife did not like the house. after a few weeks of negotiation he agreed to show it to me for and if I liked it he would rent it to me for $650.00 a month providing that I removed all of the stuff in the house and stored it in the back apartment. When we finally met I fell in live with the place. I was amazed at all of the antiques and very curious as to why the house was left completely furnished clothes and all. He told me that when he got remarried and retired, they built a new home and started a new life. he told me thaty most of the stuff in the house had been passed down through generations and he knew it was valuable. I gave him his money and made arrangements to meet him and his wife the next day to mave all of the stuff. When I met his wife she I asked her why she didn't want to live in such a nice old house. She told me It was too dark, It reminded her af a dungeon. When I moved his stuff I also found that the vacant back apartment was full of more antiques. UNBELIEVABLY NICE ANTIQUES. All passed down from the family.I really thought I scored when I cleaned up the old hardwood floors, cleaned the fireplace, and all the french doors. A home like this was renting for $8-900 at this time in this historic area. Once I moved in I proceeded to paint. When I had it all done I had some friends over for a party. Late that evening I took them to the back apartment to show them all of the old furniture, lamps, etc.There were 9 people counting me. Of the 8 guests 4 said that the back apartment was really spooky and that I should do some kind of Halloween party. That night when everyone was gone I started thinking about the Halloween party idea and kept getting this strange feeling that I was bieng told not to do it. The next day I told my friends that and they said the paint hasn't dried your sniffing fumes. I loved the place and continued fixeng up. Fancy trim in the rooms, brass switchplates, all of the stuff that I thought was classic to a downtown home. I kept feeling like I was bieng told that someone liked it. The more I told people about the way I felt "talked to" by the house the more people said things like "what kind of drugs are you on" or "how much did you have to drink." So, I quit talking about it. On the evening of Aug 18, 1999 when I went to bed I kept hearing noises aroud the house. Enoough to startle me out of bed, get my gun, and search the property. I didn't find anything but a bunch of raccoons under the house. When I went back to bed I kept hearing noises. I got pissed and yelled who's there. I got a response in my head. "Douglas." Now I really thought I was going crazy. I tried to ignore it until I asked aloud "Douglas who?" I live here" responded the voice in my head. "Where are you?" "On the back porch." I went to the back door and I could see a "vision" so to speak of a man about 5'8" wearing what looked like a military outfit. I could visualize him but he was not there. I stayed up all night trying to talk to him, but recieved no response until around 5:00am when I looked over in the corner of my bedroom and saw the same type of apparition in the form of a bueatiful tall lady. Douglas was standing behind her. She told me everything would be o.k. Now I really think I'm Insane. I went to the bookstore the next day and bought books on schitsophrenia. It didn't seem to fit. for the next few weeks I had many encounters with these two spirits. At night I would hear old swing music coming form the corner in the living room. Almost every time I passed through my back porch I could feel or see Douglas.In the evenings and mornings I would See the lady who I named Joyce, walking aroun in a robe getting tea, playing the victrola (which wasn't there), alwaws to end her visits by going into the bedroom closet. Douglas was very mean, and angry. He hated women. He always watced when I had sex and told me to do things that were out of my normal nature. (Spanking, bondage, etc.) I listened sometimes and the girls really seemed to like it. I didn't like it because it didn't feel like I was bieng myself. One day after cleaning the house I got in the shower and left my pants on the floor. While I was showering I could hear Joyce telling me that the place really looked nice. When I got out of the shower I could seee her retutrning to her closet, my pants had been folded neatly and laid on the bed. I also noticed that the mirror on the mantle above the fireplace would reflect at an angle when I felt a presence and level when I did not. Finally I went to a psychologist. I really thought all of this was in my head. I was referred to a spiritulast priest who became known to me as Steve. He came over one evening and checked out the property. He told me he felt many presences good and bad and spent time trting to "channel" Douglas and Joyce through me. I don't know what really happened because he put me in somewhat of a hypnotic state but I do know I had the crap scared out of me. Then he performed a depossession. He anointed the walls with oils and chanted some prayers.He also verbally requested for the spirits to leave me in peace, and to understand that they were not alive on this earth anymore. That evening when I went to bed I felt a terrible feeling of bieng watched form my living room. Finally I decided to sleep on the couch so as to comfort myself that noone was in the house. I began to hear a loud knocking from the floor below me. It got very cold. I wrapped up tight in my blanket and al the sudden Joyce came out and sat in front of me on the edge of my coffee table. She started to softly rub my shoulder and tell me everything was ok. I could feel her hand through the blanket. The knocking from below continued. I went out into my driveway and slept in my truck. For the next two weeks I slept at friends or in my truck only going into the house for clothes, showers etc. Douglas was always on the porch when I came home and very angry. To the best of my knowledge he never re-enterd the house again although I would see Joyce from time to time when I came home. I consulted with Steve a few mor times and told him I would have to move. He instructed me to use the front door and not walk past Douglas on the porch. I ahd friends help me every day for a week one load at a time to get my stuff out. Most of them thought I was crazy but evey time someone would carry something out the back door they would drop it or trip. By the time it was over the majority of the people who came to the house believed. I have other stories of things that happened in this house but I think this is enought to get the point. After moving I did some research on the house. I learned that it the land was purchased and the house was built for $1700.00 by a lady named Lorena Bass Courtney who moved her from Atlanta alone at the age of 24. She was my landlords mother. His fathers name was Douglas. Where he came from and went to I never learned. Lorena passed away in the house in 1989 at the age of 96. I talked with some of the older neighbors in the area and they told me stories of that house bieng the place to party in the 20's, 30's, &40's. Drinking all night, prostitutes, music etc.. One old man told me that the reason the rear of the house was seperated into an apartment was for a doctor to perform abortions. I was never able to prove any of this. Since I have left I have not seen a single spirit, or heard a voice in my head. I girl I was dating at the time rented it and when I see her she says she doesn't have any "ghost problems." I have never been back to the house but I do drive by from time to time only to get the same feelings. The address is: 541 N. Ferncreek Ave Orlando, FL My name is: John C.

Suddenly there was this feeling like someone was there and watching me. Soon I felt the back of my hair stand strait up and there was this cold entity behind me I was increadibly scared. Soon the door started opening on it's own and objects were moving. At that point I was horrified.Then I started to pray and asked god to help me which is something I really have never done. Soon the room became normal again and the cold feeling was gone. My uncle had told me before that the house was haunted I just never experienced it untill last night.

I just barely missed getting hit with it and at that moment i ran from the basement and never went back. Another time at my former house i was with my friend andrea and it was after school we were watching good old pope goggles (sally jesse) like we always do and all of the sudden we both hear a woman scream help me! and we turn and look at each other ....no one was around the tv wasn't the origin of the sound and we got freaked out so i checked my basement while of course the scared person i was i tried preforming an exorcism i carried a broom and was cleasing every where i went.... we never found out where it came from but after i did the cleansing it never happened again. things like this also happened before like a stack of cups just randomly fell i screamed at them and said STOP and it never happened again as well as when talking to my friend andrea on the phone and whenever a rap song would come on the phone would hang up on us every single time we were on the phone and a rap song would come on the phone hung up.....after i cleansed the house from the scream it never happened again.... Thursday, August 2nd 2001 - 11:03:27 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: colt E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: I was about 15 and two of my friends were staying at my house. WE sitting in my room talking, me and Jason facing RJ, the closet behind him. The strob light was on, not fast but it was flickering, as I noticed a tall greyish transparent figure through the partially opened door of my closet. It seemed to disappear every time the strob light flashed on then reappeared as it flashed off. It was tall and had no facial features and had shoulder length hair, it seemed to be a male by stature. Jason must of noticed it at the same time as me because he just paused and looked. RJ asked what was wrong, considering the sudden pause. All I could do was point towards the apparition. he turned and looked as the strob light flashed on seeing nothing until it went off. We sat in total silence for nearly 5-10 minutes. Then someone managed to shut off the strob light and meekly utter "who's going to turn on the lights" I got up and cautiously walked over and turned it on. I later made the discovery that apparitions involuntarily manipulate the light around them so they aren't seen. Some strange things had happened before that incident, such as my playstation and television automatically come on and strange feelings on another entity being in the room as I was "alone". I never saw anything like taht ever a gain and then my family moved out of that house and the ghost(if you want to call it that has seemed to follow me. I had actually communicated with the being, not verbally or telepathically but through, seemingly, emotions.

I believe he suffered a possesion or for some reason prompted the presence of spirits. It was bizarre and like something out a horror movie. He felt spirits come into him, exprienced seeing shadows, felt cold a lot and saw a different reflection in the mirror. This happened while we were seperated and were going through a bad divorce. He was also remodeling a house we had just moved into the year prior. I am still living in the house and have never had things like that happen. I have had a few things that I question or have been unexplained but will never forget what happened, I don't know if it was mental illness for him or if this was an actual posession.

A thunder storm started and soon the power went out. I decided to just lay in my bed and try to get to sleep. It was about 11 PM and i called my dog to come in my room. My dog, Miles laid on my bed. About 10 minutes later lightning struck and i saw a bloody face in my window with a big scar on his forehead. I was freaked out. Like 1 minute later I heard a door open. I thought the guy in my window came. So I decided to stay in my bed and not get up so he would not get me. Then I head hard footsteps coming towards my room. My dog got up off my bed and started barking before u know it Miles started biting nothing. He was standing by my bed biting air. I though that he could see the ghost. Before u know it i heard footsteps going away from me and Miles and i heard a door slam. My dog protected me from an evil spirit. About 10 minutes later I heard a door open and more footsteps. It was my mom and my brother. I told them this story, they didnt believe me. Thursday, July 12th 2001 - 11:13:43 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Trevor R E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: I'm very open-minded about many things, but yet retain a certain amount of skepticism. I think the paranormal is a cool thing and makes for great stories, but I had never had any experience with it until recently. I live in an old 1910 bungalow in Denver. Above the converted two-car garage is a carriage house. I don't use it for much other than storage. However, I have always noticed that the boxes I have stored there are often open when I go up there. Thinking I've gone through the boxes looking for something, I've just never closed them is how I've explained it to myself. Last week, I was moving some old furniture into the carriage house at about 8:45 p.m. The sun had set not too long before, so the light was dim in the powerless carriage house. As I climbed the stairs, I heard boxes being opened or shuffled or something. I thought one of my cats had come up there (although they never want to come up there when I call them). So I put the table I was carrying down on the landing to catch the cat when I heard heavy footsteps moving toward the top of the stairwell. My roommate was in the house, so I thought someone thought they'd take advantage of the open garage and steal something. I was in a panic, and froze in place. The footsteps stopped at the door at the top of the stairwell. I didn't see anything. Gaining composure, I called out for the person to come out or I'd call the cops. No response, but the door closed and latched from the inside and the steps calmly faded into another room of the carriage house. I couldn't open the door as the latch (slider type) had been locked. I went back into my house and told my roommate there was someone in the carriage house. He came out with me and tried the locked door. He's a big guy, not someone to mess with. He started shouting that whomever was in there better come out or the cops were going to be called. Then we heard steps toward the door, the latch being undone and the door knob turned. The door opened and an icy breeze passed through us. I mean literally through us, you could feel it from the inside of your body. We both heard steps behind us going down the stairwell and stop at the end. We were both freaked out! The carriage house has no heat or air conditioning, and it is exposed to the sun above the garage all day. It is usually sweltering hot (thus the reason for moving things to it at night). We stepped into the main room which has two adjoining rooms. The temperature was its usual warm. No one was to be found, and all the windows were locked. We went back down the stairs and locked up the garage for the night. The next day I invited a friend who claims to be psychic to my house, telling her nothing of the incident. I asked her if she'd help me carry some boxes to the carriage house. One step onto the stairwell and she stopped. She said that she couldn't go up the stairs. She said she felt an energy full of anger was at the base of the stairwell. I asked her to elaborate, but she just said that she had a spirit guide advised her not to proceed up the stairs. I've not gone up to the carriage house since. I've lived here four years and never had such an incident before, or ever in my life. Can entities such as this just suddenly be awakened? Or is it possible that my roommate and I had joint hallucination? My pshychic friend aside (she's kind of out there), what could be done and who would need to do it? Am I just out there myself (no comment on that please)?Any suggestions would be welcome.

It was built in the early 40s, is small, and has that feeling of being a little "off". Immediately, lights started being on that we knew we had turned off. It is not an electrical problem because the switch it actually flipped back to "On". Then the lights began turning on or off while we were around. Now, starting around 9 o'clock at night a noise begins that sounds like a 2x4 being dropped onto the floor. Numerous investigations throughout the house have turned up no evidence of what the noise could be. Most recently, things have been disappearing and then reappearing where they once were. Finally, doors have begun opening and closing, and mypoor little dog has begun being let out of her crate in the middle of the night (which she cannot do due to the fact that it latches shut).

I never believed in ghost until that day.Her house always looked scary to me but i figured it must be ok if she lived there. anyway.......its was about 10pm and we were home alone. we kept on hearing weird sounds n we though it was like just the house creeking cuz u know...its old. as the night went on the sound kept on coming stronger and stronger each time we heard them. it was as if somethin wanted our attention. it sounded like a knock at the door or something but it wasnt really coming from a door or anything like that, it was like coming from no where . It was so weird. yet , we thought nothing of it cus we both have wild imaginations. Anyway, later that night we were wathcing a movie and my friend fell asleep so i turned off the movie and light and then went to bed. but about 10-15 minutes later i woke up and the light was on. so i turned it off and just sat here for a while trying ta tell myself that i just forgot to turn off the light even though i was sure i did. my friend was sound asleep so i know it wasnt her but i tried to make myself believe it was her. then i fel asleep again. then later that night we both woke up because we heard a loud crashing noise....like something falling. we went to see wut it was and we found her book shelf lying on the floor with the books everywhere. We were so scared but we were able to fall back to sleep once her mom got home. The next morning i found out that stuff like that happened in her house all the time but never anything like this. But one thing she did tell me was that every morning she woke up and her light was always on. I think the ghost didnt like me because when i left i felt this presence was following me off the lawn but when i left the house it was gone. I never slept over again and i am scared to death of ghosts just from that 1 exsperience.

Nothing happends to me alone, except when I'm all alone, and I feel something with me. At my friends birthday party a few years ago, we practiced hyponotizing each other. When we hyponotized the birthday girl, she totally flipped out. She started seeing this weird face in her pillow. When she drew it, my other friend said her brother drew that face a lot. In fact, he made it up. It totally freaked every one out. You may have read about Miner's Theatre. My and my friend do plays there sometimes. One day my friend (who was hyponotized above) got there early. She was standing behind all the chairs, and saw a woman dancing on the stage. It was pitch black, and the woman was wearing a white gown and was very pale. It totally freaked her out, and she never goes in alone again.

Okay, About 7 years ago my brother got up to go to work, he works retail so he goes in late. Time of day was 10 a.m. He took a shower got dressed then went down stairs to get something to eat. He decided on hot dogs. Opened the package put two in the microwave heated them up. He put them on buns and set them on the bar to cool off. Then he went back upstairs got his boots and came back down. He put on his boots and went to eat. When he looked at the hot dogs one of them was half gone. Someone had taken a bite out of one. He was the only one in the house at the time everyone else was at work. When I saw him that nighthe told me the story. Of course my first reaction was to call his bluff, but he swore up and down it had happened. So i forgot about it. Then about 7 months ago I came back home. At the time I was'nt working so i had slept in. It was maybe 1030 a.m., I got up went downstairs and got some hot pockets out of the freezer. I heated them up in the microwave, them when they were done i set them on the bar. I went out side to smoke a ciggaret came back in about 10 min. later. when I walked in I noticed that the plate had been moved from one end of the bar to the other, and one of the hot pockets ahd been bitten in half. First thing I did was go in front to check to see who was home, all the cars were gone I was alone in the house. Strange but TRUE!!!

I am a very true God lead person. I'm a teenage christian and I have had many encounters with so called ghost and aliens. The truth of the matter is that they aren't any such thing what these things really are, are demons. See satan knows that there are people that serve aliens as a superior God, so he sends aliens. There are also people that get rooms for socalled ghosts or spirits, and these demons dwell in these rooms and cause chaos whenever they want and since people have become confortable with these things the demons stay and do not leave. You have given them homes. If you want any info on this stuff e-mail me because I have alot to give. Tuesday, June 5th 2001 - 08:48:05 AM

Jessie E-mail address: Maggie [email protected] Your Encounter: I don't know if u would call these encounters or not, but here it goes. A couple of months after my dog Jasmine died I had this really weird dream that she had come back to life, I was in my garage and there she was standing in front of me. Well, when I called her name and stuck my hand out to her, expecting her to come to me, she bared her teeth and snarled. She ran at me and grabbed my arm. I started screaming for my dead and then I woke up. I have another dream to tell you about. I started out in my house, I went outside and down my side steps towards my pool, there were a bunch of my friends there, standing around. They had built a water purifier or something, anyways, I saw my other dog, ginger that had died the previous week, my other dog Jasmine was with her and all of a sudden they attacked me! Ginger ran at me and grabbed my arm and Jasmine ran around behind me and bit my leg. I don't know if this is just like a bad conscience or something, but I think it was the spirits of my dogs coming back to get their revenge. If it is I don't know why, I was a good owner. I thought.

I think I have a ghost in my house. Weird things happen and I always feel like someone is watching me. I always go to another room when the prickly things on the back of my neck stand up. The TV's shut off by themselves and the volume always goes up so loud to a point where I didn't think it could go. Things disapear and somtimes I see things out of the corner of my eyes.

My school was doing the opera Harlequin at the Miners Theater, I found out about this website and started browsing around, when I found out about the Miners Theater possibly being haunted, I told all my friends. We decided to start exploring, to see if we could any proof or something, anyway when we went upstairs (where the old Miners cafe was) everyone got a creepy feeling, and if someone didn't see you and you started talking to them they'd probally scream, anyway there's a little door you have to walk through to get to where the people used to sit in the cafe, and when I walked in there I was behind everyone else, and I could have sworn somthing touched, all the sudden I got freezing cold, next thing I new my friend was asking me if I was coming I followed and told her what had happened, everyone else soon found out, but no one belived. When I walk into an old place, I get a feeling, it's either this place makes me comfortable, or there's something wrong here, at the Miners Theater it was a mix, I loved it there, yet it felt like there was something that needed to be found, some sort of secret.

E-mail address: [email protected] Your Encounter: Ever since my grandfather passed away 3 years ago on june 24. 2000 some freaky stuff has been happening. strange noises and once a card that was up on my fridge cam right off of the fridge and stopped in the air for like 3 seconds then floated to the ground. i myself thought i was dilusional for thinking that this happened, but my father was there with me and his girlfrind also. but ever since that i have been so freaked out to sleep at my grandmother's house. i frequently go there to spend the night but i usually hold the covers up to my head and plug my ears so it doesnt freak me out. on friday the 18 of july 2003 my best friend and dog dies in his sleep in the wee hours of the morning. that night i slept at my grandmother's house, but the weird thing is that i wasn't afraid i felt somewhat as if i was being comforted like Brewster was looking out for me. Then the next morning i realized he was an angel brought upon this earth to be here for me and bond with me and to be my best friend, now he is an angel doing the same but also looking after me more then ever.

I have been having strange things going on in my house. I am 36 years old and not crazy! My grandmother Mema died in January of this year and since then things have been happening. Here is a small example of what has been happening at my home.The first thing that happened (on the day she passed away) was a bottle cap flying diagonally across the room in front of two people. It flew halfway across the room between us and then dropped straight down. Another day: The front door opened by itself (making a scary creaking noise like in a scary movie. My door does not make this noise) and the plant in my living room started shaking like someone was holding the bottom (there was no wind). Since then, while eating dinner I was looking over at the sink when a bottle that was full fell over by itself. It had been in the same place for days. It had no reason to fall over. Our hall closet door opens fairly often by itself. You can walk down the hall past a closed door, turn around and it is open. The dogs and cats are playing with something that I don't see. What has prompted me to write though is yesterday I was brushing my hair and someone ran their finger down the side of my neck. I turned around to smile at my boyfriend and no one was there. It was not hair, the brush or anything like that. I know what I felt. Every hair stood up on end. I would be afraid that I was losing my mind if other people had not seen the same things I have seen in my house! What's funny, is I am not afraid. My other grandmother has seen spirits also. I guess it runs in the family. I am curious what is going to happen next. The "spirit" is doing quite a bit more as time goes by. Monday, July 14th 2003 - 02:05:35 PM

Haunted Objects 01/31/2003 5:09PM
We are the proud owners of a 1906 vertical grand piano, and it came with a spirit that likes to play the keyboard early in the morning. When everyone else is asleep, either the keys play with its help and or it winds up our daughter's musical dolls and lets them play.

Dead Brother
My grandparents on my dad's side lived in a haunted house in Wales before coming to America. My brother died in 1970 at age 29. His ghost takes things and won't give them back until we ask him. We have to say "Okay, Tom, I know you've got it. Now please give it back," and he does. He also called me on the phone a year after he was gone. He wanted the family to get his widow and their kids back to Chicago. One week later she called me and said she wanted to come back.

Orbs
I was at my fathers house and we were goofing around and taking pictures of each other and if you look at the photos you can see what I believe to be at least five orbs around me. All of these photos were taken at the same time one after another in the same place.

Temperature shifts
Cold spots are amongst the most common phenomena one can encounter at haunted locations. I've encountered this phenomenon myself by actually waving my hand "through" an entity in my own house that made its presence noticeable by an irritating breathing sound that imitated exactly the breathing of a living person. I only felt the cold and never investigated cold spots by using a quick reacting thermometer.
I have always suspected that the cold one feels in the presence of an earthbound entity is in fact the feeling of the loss of energy from one�s own etheric double. The relation between the emotions anger, depression and fear and an energy leaking etheric field is well known to therapists who clean their patients aura�s of etheric obsessors. My most recent conclusion is that cold spots can also be measured objectively by a sensitive device. So I guess that an entity may sustain itself by both drawing energy from the electromagnetic field of living creatures and by absorbing heat out of the air.

Haunted Orchard
It was getting really dark one afternoon when we decided to go on one of our walks through the orchards. We always felt that the atmosphere was iffy, like someone was watching us. We were walking out of the orchards when we looked around and saw a tall dark figure gliding to our right. We started to run and then stopped and turned around and it was gone.

Ghost Cat
One afternoon three brothers were playing cricket with their two friends in a playground in front of their house in a newly developed locality. After some time the elder one of the three brothers aged 16, came to his house to take a cane of drinking water for his fellow players. When he entered the kitchen in the bright sunshine he saw four white paws of a cat moving slowly. Another brother came in, saw the cat and screamed. They both ran out of the house.

Ghostlly Photos
While taking pictures in late November 2002 in a small park strange things began showing up. I took these with a digital Toshiba camera. When I took the photos the first time nothing seemed to show up after I downloaded them to my computer. But on the second trip I experienced several strange incidences. A Simi Valley Engineer of the Parks Department had mentioned that the area is steeped in Chumash Indian history.
There was a strange guy in old clothing who watched me walking around snapping photos. When I hiked down toward the supposedly haunted rock, I noticed him watching me. He was gone in seconds, but there didn't seem to be anywhere he could go in a few moments time. I posted many pictures and had a friend who is a psychic review them including the shocking photos I got. There were three specific photos.
One is of two sets of glowing eyes looking out from under a large fallen tree trunk off the path. When I shot this photo it was of nothing unusual. The sun is up and over the tree, so the chances of this being a reflection of sunlight evenly spaced apart without a light stream behind it are next to nil. This shot appears with a set of eyes looking at the camera. Since it was in the afternoon, I had the flash turned off. This means that whatever is shining in the center dark area and at the left end of the log was not from a reflection or flash.
Second photo: in the upper branches of a sycamore tree is an object about the size of a small child. It shows up purple in color. However in a negative or what I call night vision mode, it appears as a green color.
Third photo: in front of the haunted rock I snapped a photo of a bush. Nothing out of the ordinary here when I snapped it. In the picture there is a purple haze at the foot of the bush and surrounding it. My first though was a solar camera flare. Not the case here. When in the negative mode, the energy is green.
The Pictures

Ghost in the Doorway
I was sitting in my bathroom doing my hair when I noticed something in the mirror. I turned and there was nothing there. I went back to doing my hair and a few seconds later I noticed it again. Once again I turned around and saw a man standing in the doorway of my house. I got really frightened and turned around again, hoping that it was all my imagination. As I turned around slowly again it was gone.
I also have to mention I have a cemetery in the back of my house dated back to the 1860s.
