You'd better believe it!

you want spooky energy?
go to the backroads around the crow agency where the battle of little big horn was fought.
at nighttime it is pretty creepy.
also, the civil war states (gettysburg and the like) are great places to find yourself a ghost.

Watch out in "haunted houses" as I said spirits can be attracted to those who can sense them...and you may unwittingly become a haunted person...you may think you've lived in a series of haunted houses, when it's you, yourself that is actually the target of your new found friend.
There are soooo many stories to tell, I'll try to get one or two of them all straight in my head and post back soon.

I agree with this 100% My Mom and my Sister have both had many strange things happen. Me ? I have fucked up dreams that tend to come true,..

There are so many stories from when my sister and I were younger and lived under the same roof with the parental units. I believe that it had to do with us all being together that things happend so often.

Now things happen, but not like when we lived together. My poor mother, the stories she had.... :shock:

Hey Ziggy, come hang out at my place for about a week. You may not see anything, but you will hear shit for sure. We used to have sightings every few months at my house. They died off a few years ago, but you can still hear shit moving around.

fun stuff. I love it.

One morning around 4am I came down stairs and my front door was wide open, but the dead bolt was still locked so the door didn't just blow open. I figured maybe the GF just didnt have the door shut all the way when she locked up for the night. I went to take my dogs out the back door to let them out to do their business and that door was also wide open with the dead bold in the lock posistion.

It was pretty awesome.

:shock: It's 5.17am....I'm sitting in the dark....and reading that just made me get a chill! I want to come over!! I'm sleeping in your room though!!! Fucked if I'm sleeping in a room by myself!! :shock: It sucks I live so far away!

When you say "sightings", what do you mean? What do you see?

And while typing this something just moved behind me (a ghecko on the wall probably) and I just shit my pants! haha

Many times have quite a few different people seen someone walk past my dinning room windows. That side of my house, is the low side of a hill, so the "person" would have to be 25 foot tall for us to see them. So either a "ghost" is floating by the window, or walking across the hallway in the house and we are seeing the reflection in the windows across the room. Either way, it can't really be explained.

I think I might be a "haunted person" :? I've had a ghost in the last 3 places I've lived...turning on lights, the tv, smelling men's cologne and cigar smoke, hearing feet on the steps, the basement door creaking open and closed. I think the ghosts are mostly friendly. My first experience was right after my grandmother died. I could feel her sitting on the edge of my bed at night for several months. I heard ghosts can become attached to objects - I have her chandelier hanging in my bedroom, so I wonder if it's her.
I posted about my latest experiences. About 2 weeks after I moved into my new place I heard a voice saying "go back" in the middle of the day. :? About 2 months later I came home late one night and opened the front door and someone pushed it back at me. I thought my husband was doing it at first because it was really forceful. I stopped for a second and heard feet running up the stairs. When I went inside, my cats looked totally freaked out - were looking up the stairs. One of them started creeping up there really slowly...I thought someone had broken in...since no one is hurting my kitty :evil: I followed her...checked everywhere...no one to be seen. Must have been ghosty Doors have randomly slammed shut. No electrical stuff yet.

When I was maybe seven years old we lived in a one floor house. I remember many a night hearing the distinct sound of footsteps in the attic above me. I would tell my mom but she never believed me or heard these sounds in her room. I would get so terrified I'd run to the kitchen to grab the biggest butcher knife we had. As if that would somehow protect me from ghosts. But I shared a room with my little brother and we both heard these sounds. And you'd only hear them late at night.

while i was in my car my dad used to turn on the dome light.
this was done by physically pushing the light's lens cover with one's finger(s).
the damn thing snaps in and out of place quite firmly so it's not like it's floppy and doing it on its own.
dad had just died a few months prior.
i know it was him, i sensed him.

also, i've sensed my brother when i was driving a truck.
he used to sit in the passenger seat.
i'd talk to him about stuff.
it was pretty awesome.

i feel them with me all the time.
i've felt grandma with me ever since she died but only saw her the one time.

i do know they're waiting for me on the otherside.

A guy at my work used to run ghost tours of old prisons and mental institutions. I was too scared to go on one. From what I have heard from other people, nothing much happened besides people getting ‘cold feelings’ and feeling like someone was touching them. They were obsessed with ‘orbs’ in photos.
The only cool thing I saw was this photo he took in an old theater, and he said he kept getting a really strange feeling when he walked past the stage. So we looked at this photos and zoomed into the air vent at the bottom of the stage, and you could clearly see a face!

A few weeks ago my doorbell rang in the middle of the night, and I was too scared to get up and see if someone was there. When I woke up in the morning, I asked mum if she heard it and she said “yes, I thought I was going crazy because there isn’t any batteries in it, I took them out because they were dead”.
Another time I woke up and saw a ghost standing over my boyfriend, I was so scared I shut my eyes and tried to call out to him to wake up, but I couldn’t speak. I was still kinda half asleep, so not sure if it was real or my imagination, but it felt bloody real.

There are so many and most revolve around my youngest daughter who's now 21...but not all.

When Jess was a baby, and just beginning to form sentences, she used to talk about a little boy that visited her and talked with her. He lived here she said. Thinking...invisible playmate..OK..no problem. As the months went on and she began verbalizing better, she would tell us of things that the boy wanted her to do..mostly to us, her Mom and Dad..such as stabbing us with a knife, shooting us with a 20 g shotgun..etc...and she had the details on how to operate the gun. She was 3 years old. The boy would argue with her and tell her we had to be gotten rid of before we got rid of her and things along that line.
Skip till later...decided to move out of there. Jess has an argument on moving day, with the boy, who tells her he's angry with her and that he's not coming with her. And for years we thought he never did.

Another house, Jess again. She's about 9 or 10 yrs old now. She is talking to a boy..I've forgotten the name now..but she knows his name...first AND last..when he was born. She knows his mother's name. She knows his father's name. She says there was another house here before this one was built. The house we live in now is probably oh. 125 yrs old or so. She appears to be friendly with these ppl. At this point we are using the OUIJA board, and sometimes she can talk to the boy, sometimes she gets something that goes crazy all over the board, usually using the letters toward the end of the alphabet..which she considers to be evil...she has a prayer she says to ward it off, although our family is not all all religious. It makes her feel better. If the two of us can get on the board together it seems more powerful. She asks direct open ended questions..the answers are elaborate and unmistakable. So fast that we need to have a 3rd person to write the letters down. The boy tells her what his home was like on this land. He says there was a "sh$$%t hole" by which he means out house...and his main concern is that he had lost his only special toy down in that hole so many years ago when it was a working outhouse...a wooden top carved for him by his Daddy. Apparently they had no money for other things and the wooden top was his only real possession. He wants Jess to dig it up for him. He tells her exactly where it should be. To the rear and left of the side of the barn...problem is..the barn is now renovated into a garage with concrete walkways alongside it. No digging there. He insists that she could get it for him. She asks if she could get it, how would he get it back anyway? He tells her to leave it on the dining room table and he'll be able to get to it. Needless to say she didn't go digging up the concrete walkway, but continued to talk with him throughout the year and a half or so we rented that house.
At one point, after having no luck searching for this family on internet records, I submitted the name to the local town and county Historical Society. The city eventually got back to me with a verification of the dates and names, although I believe the last name was spelled one letter differently in records than she had gotten thru the boy. By the way that reminds me, he called them his "given" and "Sir" names..first and last names. Turns out they lived on this land in the early 1800s...the father was convicted as a horse thief. The mother and child remained on the records but father did not.

Same house, same daughter, same OUIJA board, much later on...winter. Jess is in her room using the OUIJA board alone. She calls me in the room and tells me someone named Francis wants to speak with me on the board. I am very skeptical but oh well, I go in anyway and sit down. She asks me to help by touching the placard. "Francis" begins talking. He is quite glib and amusing. He is speaking on behalf of someone I should know. Francis is for lack of a better term, a spirit guide, but not Jess nor my spirit guide, but the spirit guide of a friend..whom Francis tells his has just passed over and needs his guidance. The person would like to talk to Jess and I..his name is Jose. I only have one friend named Jose and I had just visited with him 2 days prior...so am having difficulty believing this to be real. Jessica asks Francis to send Jose forward to speak with us. She knows him well too. Francis says that Jose cannot come to the board because he is confused AND because he is having his tea! (you know the reaction to that? wtf? right? sure) But Jose did enjoy his tea...we often had a cup of hot tea together on chilly winter evenings... ...so anyway, some things are passed back and forth and I am beginning to believe this might actually be Jose thru this Francis. Francis eventually gets it thru that Jose wants to say something to us but that he'll have to get in touch with us again since Jose is still so confused...or something along those lines. Long and short of it, next day I see a friend who asks me if I had heard about what happened to Jose? He had been involved in a police chase in NY and had been killed the night before. ....apparently we were talking to Jose via Francis right after he died.

Same house, many times....Jess is talking on OUIJA to "SMILE". For a long time we don't know who smile is but she talks to him quite often and finds him comforting. One day I go to sit on the sofa as she has the board in front of her, and she tells me Smile says please move over you're sitting on him. After many many discussions with Smile, turns out Smile is a dog...a beagle hound who belonged to the "Mistress" so many years ago. He was killed by the mistress as were his companion dogs..they were hunting dogs of sorts. Apparently the mistress was very mean and mistreated her animals and if a hunt didn't go well, she would punish and beat the dogs, sometimes killing them in the most gruesome and cruel ways. Smile himself had had hit gut sliced open. But he was fine now...in whatever space he was in now. Jess thought that Smile was almost always around her and that he slept in her bed at night.

YES>.I know by now you are asking yourself if we had her evaluated by a doctor..yes, several. Not related to anything like that.

OK FAST FORWARD Re: Smile.
Different house. We take a downlstairs (basement) apt in a 3 apt house ..the owner living in the main floor. Jess says Smile came with us. THe owner, Bill, also has a dog, an older female black lab named Daisy who is his constant companinion. Jessica has told all of us in the family that she thinks Smile goes upstairs at night...that he sleeps in Bill's bed. At one point Jessica strikes up a conversation w Bill re Daisy but she doesn't know Bill and doesn't want him to know about her "abilities" at least not yet. Eventually Bill says something along the lines of, you know, its funny, since you've moved in here, Daisy never sleeps in the bed with me anymore. I try to call her up on the bed, where she always sleeps, but she just whines and looks at me and stays on the floor at the side of the bed.
Jessica turns to me as if you say...see? Because Smile is sleeping there..that's why Daisy no longer will.

Same house, several months later. I fall asleep in the Billiard room, on a lounger in front of a huge built in wall fish tank. There is faint light, kind of iridescent coming from the tank at night. Otherwise the room is a barroom in the basement and there is not much natural light. I awaken suddenly with a start and there inches from my face is the finger of an old woman who is sitting in a rocking chair directly in front of me. She says nothing, but I seem to know she is giving me some sort of a warning not to stay here. She is probably in her 80s, has gray hair which I sense is very long, but up in an old fashioned bun or braided bun. She is dressed in late 18oo's style peasant dress and what seems to be an apron or pinafore. I think that she is a handsome looking old woman and would be pleasant looking even if she did not have such a stern look on her face and steel in her eyes at the time. I don't see her for more than a few quick seconds but she has made an impact on me that I will never forget.

Next Spring...to this point we have never seen anything, but have heard whispers and what sounds like a very low radio constantly playing at night...there is no possible source for that noise. Jess wakes me up and says I just saw Nana. Jess was upset because she saw her and then sent Nana away. She said that she was scared of her...not that she's afraid of her Nana..but that she didn't expect to see her or anyone in her doorway in the middle of the night. She said Nana told her not to be afraid that Jessica knows that she would never hurt her, she just came to say goodbye. Jessica was afraid and unable to have a conversation with her but said to me that she told Nana, I love you Nana but you're scaring me...and Nana said she loved her too and left.
Nana had a stroke and passed away in hospital that very night.

Those are the experiences Jess had when she was younger, just some of them. There are many more...and as she got older they got stronger..and as her sister got involved in for lack of a better word, seances, with her, the experiences got stronger and more pronounced. I even have a photograph I will post up here if I can find it of 2 children that they were speaking with in my other daughter's home in Harrisburg....I took random photos while this was going on. I captured the children on film. A copy was sent to the local paranormal society, and nothing ever came of it.

Lately we have had paranormal investigators to our home because of some incidents that have occured, and some history my daughter was able to dig up. We have captured EVPs...some not very nice at all...and I will try to gather all that information, photos and EVPs from my daughter and post here tomorrow.

Anyway...I wanted to stress that she no longer uses a OUIJA board, mostly because as she got older and was over and over again being contacted by the "evil" thing...which she has since become to believe is the little boy who first contacted her when she was just a baby....she senses him around her, that he is evil..and no longer believes that he is actually a little human boy at all...although she has no explanation for what he might be...she feels that the board gives this entity access to her much more easily that if he doesn't have the board to go through. So she doesn't use it. She however has not burnt it or thrown it away for fear of releasing this entity and it having greater access to her. Still to this day she is haunted by the same entity.

More stories to come. Even better ones...sightings...lights..photos..EVPs....phone calls, voices, ....my toddler Grandson is also has experiences now..powerful ones, with much verifiable information in them..he sees as well as hears them....at the age of 3...same as Jess was when hers started. He is, however the first male in our family to have, or to admit having experiences...although he does not yet know them to be that. HIS experiences are VERY interesting and can be verified in real time. More on that tomorrow.

THEN later we can talk about my childhood and all that crazy stuff....if anyone is interested in hearing it.

Yes, I know its made by Parker Brothers...as a toy.
And I know we used to use it as a toy when we were kids...asking it..will I have a boyfriend...blah blah yadayadayada...and it never did much of anything...maybe slid over to YES or NO once in a while..that's it.

I don't think its the actual Board that is the problem..I think that if you made a home made one or got one of the other ones available commercially, you would have the same problems when someone with certain abilities uses the board. Its just a medium through which contact is made.

Don't ask me how, or any of that, I don't know the answers..but I do know it to be true.

I know some of you probably think I'm certifiably nuts for saying this stuff, and sharing my daughter's and my stories..but I swear by whatever God you call your own, that they are true. And there are many more where they came from.
