Ghost stories comments: Page 1

I do agree with LillyPieLindsay. The 2 people that you saw, are you sure they were ghosts and not 'humans'? Are you sure that house is totally abandoned? Please do not mind but some houses have 1 or more members of the family who have physical disabilities or 'distortions' which make them avoid stepping outside their homes, and sometimes their distortions actually make them look scary! With all due respect to everyone, its kind of a societal nature, that many adults prohibit their children from visiting/going near those people and to make sure that the children listen to them, they even make 'stories' to scare them (so that they don't visit 'those' people'.) Also, the way they 'look' at you may make you feel scared. Believe me I have seen such homes with 2-3 members of the family who are physically challenged (let me use that word). Once, one of those little boys was looking at me in such a way (he was peeping out of a pillar). When I found him out to be 'staring' at me in that way, I jumped up in shock and ran to my father! But I am not totally debunking your experience as not a paranormal one, as I am not sure what you might have seen that day. I am just talking about 1 of the possibilities. But I want to know the meaning of 1 line that you wrote-
"My friends saw it but if asked about it, they deny it."

Did you mean to say that your friends also 'saw' those ghosts? How do you know that they 'saw' them if you are saying that they 'deny' it? What were they exactly denying to?

Fergie: Thank you for posting this! Shenay is special girl, for sure. I'm sure, with all the support she has from family and friends, she'll grow up with the strength to ignore the nay-sayers . Keep up the good work.

Perhaps: How much more evidence do you need? I stopped trying to convince others of the existence of ghosts a long time ago. One will believe whatever one believes. However, and I say this with no offense intended, sometimes one's religious beliefs tend to cloud one's mind to the extent that they can't see the obvious.

I really don't think there's anything anyone can say that will help you open your mind to the possibility of human spirits or ghosts. That's a personal journey and one that has to be taken alone, unfortunately. I think maybe a good start would be to read some of the accounts on the site in the category of "Visits From Family/Friends". But again, only YOU can open your mind to the possibility.

Wel...dang Fergie! It certainly sounds to me that Shenay is gifted. And very lucky to be surrounded with people who understand.

Ok, Aimee - THAT was scary! The cord to your charger was hanging in mid air? Geeze, I may have screamed too. It's good your parents believed you. Besides that and the doll has anything else happened? Has anyone else in your family witnessed anything?

Hi Elaine,
I too am in agreement with most that what you experienced was probably sleep paralysis. There's a lot information on the internet regarding this, but just wanted to share my experiences with it to you.

Mine started when I was a teenager as well. The first time it happened to me, it wasn't that unpleasant, but each subsequent paralysis became worse. For me, the feeling of being choked feels very strong and very real. I've even had episodes where I've "seen" a shadow at the side of my bed that reaches out and starts choking me. I'm in my early thirties now and still get them from time to time. I've come to realize that (for me) they aren't necessarily paranormal but brought on when I've been under a ton of stress combined with lack of sleep.

I've had these episodes often enough that I have learned to recognize when they are about to happen. Sometimes I've been able to snap myself out of it before the "choking" stage. Other times, I'm too exhausted and just have to let it run its course. The experience, nonetheless, is still frightening, but at least I feel somewhat prepared for it. Mine typically only last a few seconds to a minute.

Thanks for sharing your story and take care.

Hi interesting story. The comments are even more interesting! Why do people keep asking were in brazil. Do they not see BRASILIA written in the story lol. Hey talk about children been stolen you make Brazil look bad!

That was really scary Monty. Glad you have rid yourself from this demonic entity.

it's sad that your mother treats you like that, but just remember pregnancy is a beautiful thing and soon, you'll have a daughter to take care of and she will love you unconditionally, and don't be afraid to show that you're pregnant, it's a natural thing! And picking out peppers isn't embarrassing, I always pick them out and I pick out other stuff too, because I just don't like them and I'm sure there are lots of people who do just that so don't worry about it. Keep positive beautiful! What you're doing is amazing and try to focus on the good things more than the bad and don't listen to your mother and maybe spend less time with her and take more time to do something that makes you feel better. But in terms of the strange happenings, it might be a lot of things, if anything else happens keep us posted!

Stay positive

Hi Aimee, huh, I was under the impression chrisstar was back at his parents too. Mostly because in part one he says, "My nephew's parents just died so my girlfriend Ashley and I moved back to my parents' house to help take care of him." I do see where he says they went to a motel and the thing followed them there, but I thought that was a temporary thing? Like for a weekend or something. Hopefully, Chris will sort out the confusion here as well as the other questions.

The tension in wind up figures can be released at random times, but being accompanied by a door bursting open... That's curious.

Hi Nikitaa, you sound like you're a very gifted person... But you certainly have some spirits that have no right to get physical with you... Just wondering, have you tried protection techniques, such as drawing light to yourself and protecting yourself with a light shield? Also drawing in chi and psishielding yourself? These techniques can help dramatically...:)

I am sorry about that!

That was awkward but I'm doing okay!

I know your grandad will watch over you beyond the clouds. ^_^

[at] Lord_Manyakol:
The wak-wak or tiktik is the Filipino version of a vampire/monster and its more common on the low lands but the bird I'm referring to is neither of the two. The bird I'm referring to is a black bird bigger than a crow as it was described to me. Sadly You can't exactly research this over the internet, I know I tried really hard as well.

I'm not exactly sure what its called in other regions of the Philippines or if it exists in other parts of the Philippines but this myth or beliefs is common to the elders in the highlands of the Philippines particularly in the Cordillera.

I really wish I knew more of our culture and our beliefs so I can tell you all about it.

Here's a challenge for all believers though. There was a book that was written by an American author, He published it right after World War II when he was deployed here. I'm sorry that I don't really know his name but he was able to document a lot of these beliefs and myths when he was here. The book was all about Philippine mythology from believe it or not dragons all the way to vampires. I know it exist, I had a copy of it way back when I was young sadly my mom and dad hated it and disposed of it when I was out of the house for a couple of weeks and when I confronted them about it they wouldn't tell me what they did with it. I've been trying my best to find that book until now and I do hope someone can find it.

Lady-glow - I'd like to tell you that chrisstar doesn't live with his parents and doesn't meet them I guess so they can't move conner to their bedroom neither his parents can see scratches on his wrist! Secondly, as stated in the story that they moved into a motel but the little thing followed Conner there as well, which means no matter where they shift Conner, the thing won't leave his soul! Just wanted to clear it out
Regards

BadSeed,
I've been trying to think of a way to politely say this... But the woman you described sounds just like the one in the Ring and the Grunge movies. This makes me wonder if just maybe what you saw was Halloween costumes? Now before you start saying 'No way!' this is something I did to get rid of some pesky kids who kept prowling around the place that I use to live (the rumour was that my house was 'haunted'.) With the help of some of my theatrical friends we rigged up a 'ghost' with a motion detector. Lordy, that thing was CREEPY looking, I'd half forget about it, go down to do laundry and darn near wet myself .I think after the 3rd or 4th time of kids screaming as they ran away, they learned to leave us alone.
The disfigured man you saw might have been the owner relishing the act.
You did say, your friend swore there was an evil entity, right? Now how did she know that? I bet you weren't the first 'peeker' those folks had come around either. Now, I'm not saying that this was it in your case, just presenting a possibility. Think about it. Also if this was a 'deserted' house - think about what time of year it was and if there are any groups in the area that hold initiation rights. (Like a sorority, club, etc.) You might have simply been an added 'victim' of their prank.

That sounds like it was really creepy, but how do you know that it wasn't someone actually living in that house? Do you mean that you looked in, saw nothing, then turned around and saw what you described? Was the house supposedly empty, and did your friend say why she thought there was supposedly an entity in that particular basement? (neighborhood rumors, past experience, etc)

Sorry for all the questions - sometimes even the "short" experiences need a few more details!

Thanks for sharing!

I don't know. I only learned his name by sheer luck when Monty who I thought was talking to himself said shut up Arnold I am going to kill him and Arnold said no you are not I won't let you. He didn't have any negative energy on him so he can't be evil like Monty was.

mtp,
Contrary to popular belief, just because someone dies in a house, the house doesn't automatically become haunted. It could be you are simply living in a non-haunted inviroment.
It's also like Granny says, it can go from a daily experience to nothing, and then quite suddenly flare back up. Then too, it could be very subtle things that you're putting down as 'old age creeping in'. (Hey, I use that one myself - so no offense meant! ) You know like misplacing your keys and then finding them in the oddest places or where you initially looked for them.

Okkayyy...you are like the 3rd person to say they didn't get an email telling them their story was posted. I just have to ask - did you check your 'junk mail' too?

I think you should try Rooks way of cleansing. Do you know much about the mirror? I know it is very hard but try to talk to the mirror and ask it why the skeleton was there. You may get the answer you are looking for...

Hi everyone and thank you for the comments. It was interesting to hear others say their pets don't react. I guess I just assumed animals could see these things.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. It took a while for my story to appear and I just kind of forgot about it.

It would be nice if we received emails when people post comments on your story.

Does anyone have any explainations for why I would see things frequently at multiple locations, but for only about an 11 year stretch, then nothing?

If anyone has any questions, let me know. I will check back.

You said you had the house blessed, but have you tried having Connor blessed as well?
What do your parents and girlfriend make of what is happening?
I'm a bit confused here... In My Grandfather Saved My Life, you said you broke up with your girlfriend, is Ashley a different girl? And if she is - she's living with you in about a months time? I'm assuming she's also a minor - do her parents know where she is?
Question: what is the atmosphere in your house? Is there a lot of family 'issues' going on?
Did you try Rook's cleansing method? Taken Conner for counseling? Ask anyone for help?
Exactly what do you mean by this thing is 'attacking' Connor? Besides scaring the child, I mean. Not that that wouldn't be bad enough. Imps, in Germanic lore are closely related to the fey - you might try placing a piece of iron under the bed, and adding sea salt to Conner's bath water. (You can find bath salts containing sea salt.)
I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the inconsitancies in your stories, hopefully you'll be able to clear them up.

enchant, a few people have passed in this house, so perhaps that spirit is one of them. However I'd have to ask my grandmother to be sure.

Lady-glow, just because I say i'm at my dads doesn;t mean I live there? I was visiting him. Is that uncommon or something? To visit your parents even though you know longer live with them. I currently don't live at his house, but do visit him quite often.

is there a history of the land, or house, in which the screaming lady might be linked to?

whatever attacked your nephew is attacking him, now his parents are gone. I wonder if this thing is somehow responsible for the loss of your nephews parents and is now causing your nephew great distress. Because this thing knows that your nephew is emotionally vulnerable after the loss of his mom/dad.

the house is a lovely well looked after home with a natural light-energy in the pictures you have shown. You certainly take good care of the home you live in. Usually a home that is not well kept. Would have demon activity going on inside-that is linked to the unkempt home. Maybe something/s followed you/your partner and child into your well kept home. From a different location.

Sorry. Allesgute - didn't see the comment here. Well, I think for guidance on that you should contact one of the mods, either Miracles or zzsgranny. I believe they both have emails on their profiles. I suppose you could try contacting Martin (webmaster of this site), but I'd ask the mods for help first. They would know this site's protocol better than me.

i have to agree with this he just wants to make sure his little girl is going to get hurt in away

Sweats:

First you say that you haven't lived at your dad's for over two and a half years; and two comments latter you are at his house right now... And protected by a cat.

What should we believe?

logan, yes I visit my dads house still. I'm currently at his house right now. And I still do see her, however something odd has occurred. My dad just recently got a cat, and as long as the cats near me she doesn't bother me. Do you know of anything about cats warding off spirits?

Austria, Thank you:) I 'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll make sure to post more.

I'm so sorry honey nobody should be treating you like your mother has. I'm sure you are doing the best you can. You should keep your thoughts positive and leave negative influences behind so you can look forward to a bright new future with your daughter. As for the bible, I have never heard of a spinning bible if it is anything like a wind up carousel it could just be a mechanical error. I hope everything works out with your family issues and good luck!

Does any one think this story stinks?

I have read not only this, but ALL your stories more than once and still can not make sense of them...I'm sorry!

There is something that really bothers me and just do not understand:

How is it possible that your parents asked for your help taking care of Conner if they kicked you out of the house just six or seven months ago and during that short period of time you have had drinking problems? It looks to me that you are still into the process of becoming a responsible adult and not ready to take care of a mourning five year old.
And it is not only you the one they called back, but you had to bring Ashley along! And poor little Conner spends the nights sleeping between two teenagers?
Why don't your parents take him to their room?
Have you told your parents about the lurking entity under their grandson's bed? Have they seen the scratches on his wrist?

Furthermore, in one of your previous stories you say that your deceased grandfather talks to you during the day, -have you asked for his help?
And your grandfather's house has been vacant since 2010, when he passed away. Wouldn't it make sense to move Conner there and away from the green little monster that hides under his bed... Or your bed... Or everybody's bed

Have you tried Rook's cleansing or some other kind of help? What about taking Conner for grieve counseling?

I do not mind to be rude, but I think something has to be done to help Conner or we'll be reading many more chapters for this story!

I'm so sorry this spirit is really horrible to be picking on a little boy. In your story you said that when you were younger the green thing used to visit you too but I think it had stopped. Maybe an event or something triggered the creatures disappearance. If you can recall this event and recreate it hopefully it will go away. Hope I helped and good luck with getting rid of this creature.

It is a shame that your mother treats you the way she does; not all women with children make good mothers !

Could you, please, explain what you mean by a "rotating, musical Bible"? -I have never seen one and the only thing that comes to my mind is a couple of musical dolls I have which spin their heads when wound and I keep them in the china cabinet, and sometimes they play music for no apparent reason; but I have realized that any subtle movement can trigger the mechanism, even one of my cats running downstairs !
I think the slamming of the closet door and the Bible spinning could have a more logical explanation.

Nevertheless, reading your stories made my heart shrink, you are so young and have gone through really hard times. I pray for you.

Finally someone had something happen to them like I did, But I had mine around 11am. I was looking for cow heads and went a different way than I normally go. And was going to cross through another patch of woods to get to the pasture. When all of a sudden my dog started growling and the hair on her back was standing up. She was looking all around I noticed that it was quite no birds nothing. I thought someone else was in the woods but my dog was scared and I was getting that way to! I didn't see anything but the feeling to get out was strong and I left! I want to go back and put a game camera up but no one will go with me, So I've made up my mind to go this winter when the snakes are gone.

I'm still confused. You wrote:

"You read it wrong. We brought Leo first to the new house and he ran off. Whenever we went back to the evil house, he was just there, sitting on my bedroom chair. He still lives with us. C:"

Did your family just leave the mobile house leaving everything there? And, why would you go to "the evil" house once you moved?

With Respect - Julz

Hmm I think that the 'thing' whatever it was, didn't like your granddad finding out about the room...
And whatever was written on the walls of the hidden room would have a great connection with all the incidents...
Thanks for sharing
Regards

Smoken, too bad there is no way of knowing what had been written on those walls. I bet it was fascinating. Given the length of time the house has been standing, I wonder who was hidden away in that room and why?

LOL, oh, Fergie, now THAT is funny! I end up asking total strangers for help sometimes.

Oh my God! Look try not to make him more angry or the things would get worse! Try to talk to it and sort out the matter ask him what does he wasn't why is he doing everything.

And yes tie a thread in Conners wrist and recite bible's verses on it and on your wrist too...

Wear a cross in your neck and give it to Conner as well. I'm really very sorry for all the things you're facing

Best regards to you and love to Conner!

justlisten,
I've lots of questions, so please be patient.
1) Exactly what abilities did this 'Druid priest' say you have?
2) To which circle does he proclaim to belong?
3) In your account I am very unclear on if you think he was your 'stabber' or if it's something else?
4) If they are seperate entities, what does he (the priest) have to say about it?
5) How did your boyfriend react?
6) Same as Granny, I have to wonder how you came to the conclusion that a red mark on your back was a 'stab' mark from a knife. Am I right in assuming it was more of a 'pressure' mark, not a true cut or even a scratch? And without drawing any blood?
Sorry for all the questions, but your telling seems to have left out a good many things that might help me to understand better.

Lol Val, now you sound like Tinkerbell. So cute!

Once, many years ago, I was reaching for something on the top shelf at the supermarket. Of course, I couldn't quite reach it. My eldest daughter, at that stage shorter than I, offered to take off her shoes and stand on the bottom shelf, to see if she could reach. Unexpectedly, a male arm shot out above our heads, claiming the object of my desire. Both of us whipped around to see who this perpetrator could be. There stood one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen - with a brilliant smile, he deposited the jar into my hands. Before I could bluster my thanks, he flashed another smile, turned on his heal and strode off.
Nicky declared then and there, that she never wanted to be tall, so that good-looking men could come to Her rescue.

Hmm...Nicky didn't wish hard enough, did she?

RedWolf- hmm maybe but she would have sworn that this happened I know and I just asked my mum about that story and she told me other things as well which I forgot to mention in the story and yes she was perfectly fine before this all happened

Oh...well if I stretch up on tip toe... I can almost reach the bottom shelf of the kitchen cupboard!

First, starting with the first comment:
I had moved in the March after I went into homeschool and after going back to attend high school at the school system my dad pulled me out of during middle school. I eventually transferred out of the school my Sophomore year to go to Cranfills Gap ISD.

It was actually a couple months since we moved in, due to us having to get me a bed for my bedroom. During that time, I slept in the living room.

You read it wrong. We brought Leo first to the new house and he ran off. Whenever we went back to the evil house, he was just there, sitting on my bedroom chair. He still lives with us. C:

Also, a lot of people were asking about the 'green and furry thing' and well, in all honesty, I don't remember much about it. I was just in the 1st grade and in my bedroom when something passed though the bathroom connected to my bedroom. I opened the door to see what it was, but it wasn't there. A friend of mine said it was just something passing though.

Wow, sorry for not seeing all of these comments. I was not told my story was accepted. I'll try to clear up any facts.

justlisten
I am with zzsgranny. I doubt a Druid Priest would use such terminology. I see you are from Florida so I kind of doubt it was a Druid Priest I would however believe Voodoo Priest. The reason I say this is a Voodoo Priest would use this terminology. I would stay away far away from this man and if your boyfriend insists you go back I would break up with him.
Years ago a man that I met through a psychic group had told me he could teach me how to use the "Force". I had a hard time keeping from laughing in his face because that was when the original Star Wars movies were around. . I told my mother who was in the same group and she told me to stay away from him. Duh! I told the woman that ran the group about what he said and he was politely asked to leave the group. Where's my light saber?

How sad for your mother that she's so negative! I'm proud of you for knowing the difference. Glad you're not buying into her issues. As per the spinning bible, I'm guessing that it might be your guardian angel to get your attention and direct you towards a more-positive environment, such as the bible. Love and kindness are good places to focus yourself. You're in a delicate situation with your pregnancy, and I'm guessing your GA is attempting to encourage you. Remember to rebuke evil in Christ's name so as to protect yourself & your unborn progeny. Burning white sage will also dis-spell negativity, or at least calm it down. And remember that you're a wonderful, blessed person. God has entrusted you with a new life, so learn from your experiences, and do what's best for you BOTH. Godspeed!

justlisten: *sigh* First of all, if I may, I'd like to address the usage of the term "powers". I have a very hard time believing that a true Druid priest would use such a term. You're not He-Man/She-Ra, after all! "Abilities", yes. "Powers"? *sigh*

How did you deduce that a knife wielding ghost had stabbed you in the back? I don't understand how you came to that conclusion. Would you please elaborate?

Amie_16,
Perhaps the lady did not know she was ill before going to bed and dreamed or hallucinated the little creatures. A temperature of 104 has been known to do that to some people. The mark that looked like a hand but not human could have been because of the fever like a hive. Personally a fever that high for me is dangerous because my normal body temperature is 97 and I do get strange marks on me when I get that high a temperature.

Hey there! Nice story but I have an almost same experience as you I saw a rather big man sitting on a stair outside a house, I could even see his clothes' material shalwar kameez (Pakistani national dress) but when I turned on my dad's car's headlights there was nothing but stones shaped like a man and had pieces of clothes on them so maybe it was something else!

chrisstar,

I see that Rook shared the cleansing method with you already, have you tried it at all? This must be a frustrating and definitely a very hard time, but I hope you get through it.

My thoughts are with you and Conner

Sorry guys, I was off making supper for the family.

OMW Val, you aren't short! You are tiny! Lol, I can call you 'shorty'... I used to be the tallest female in the family at 5'4"...till my daughters grew. They all rounded out at 5'7". Then back injuries and growing older took their toll... Last time I checked (some time back), I was 5'2". So, I can still 'look down' on you.Lol.

Sorry Ari, I have hi-jacked your page, as well as made fun of you...Lol!

But Val is correct; it is the size of a persons heart that counts!

You have a big heart Ari, and it's in the right place.

sweatseveryday,

Thanks, appreciate you coming back with how your mother feels. HAve you visited your dad's place ever since at all? Seen the girl again ever?

I hate the fact that this demon or whatever it is, is attacking you and your nephew. I was doing some research and saw that you live in Mississippi, so I found these people that might be able to help you. I am such a firm believer in ghosts and the paranormal. Please contact them and let me know how it turns out. I am really concerned about the safety of you guys. My email is jcon530 [at] gmail.com. My prayers are with you.

Here is the link to their site:

Http://www.paranormalsocieties.com/haunting-assistance.cfm

So tell me Val, whom should I approach if I want to help out on the editing front on this website? Any ideas?

If you have thrown out the object to which the spirit was attached, I don't think you need to fear. Unless you have in some way attracted the spirit. But the way you have described, the spirit didn't harm you in any way. So it's highly unlikey. What did you do with the bed and the cards? Did you burn them? Hope the poor spirit has found peace. Usually it is advised that we should not buy something that has trauma or bad incidents attached to them. For example, don't stay in a house where some violent crimes have happened and so on. It is likely to bring bad energy into your lives.

Well, dang, Fergie, how short are you? I'm like 4'10" ummm...147.32 cm. Do I get to be an amazon? Hmmmm?
It isn't a person's height but the size of their heart that counts in life.

ooooooooooooooohhh...scaryyyyyyyy

Go...Going...Gone

Yep, Rook is a he.
Aww, allesgute, I don't know how much my small inputs 'help out', but as I also run my own site (s), I can really appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. So, I do what I can, as do many others.

Ari- I would be honored for you to check out my other site. The url is in my profile. But be warned - 'scary' val lurks in some of my tales there.

Val, allesgute means 'all is well' in German. And yes, I do cringe at the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. I even noticed a 'guest' here who does not use 'full stops' at all. But then, I have seen worse stuff where I work

Val (I'll take your advice and shorten the 'nic' ), Rook has kindly suggested I try his/her (?) recipe, so I will be trying that soon. Thanks.

Phew!

Fergie I was talking about several of your stories, you cute li'l granma I was just kidding when I said you bully, because I thought you were pulling my leg.

Thanks Val, for clearing it up and telling Fergie what I meant. So much for trying my hand at humour here, on the forum

Thank you and now we can go back to where we were...

Very true, BK. I think being able to comment, and 'dig a bit further' as it were helps validate what is being said. BTW - you should try Rook's cleansing, quite a few on the site have and swear by it.
At allesgute (AH!I just got that! Allesgute = all is good, right?) An editor at a newspaper? Ye gads, some of the writing here must have you cringing!
And, ladiues, please just call me Val. My whole nic can permenatly knot the fingers.

Oh Ari! Silly me! Sometimes I take things too literally. I am so sorry! Please forgive me? I would never, NEVER poke fun at you! Also, I think I would be useless at satire. And for the record, I am not big enough to bully anyone Lol! Even my 8 year-old granddaughter takes me up to my chin already.

I honestly never thought there was anything in that particular story to 'strike an emotional chord' as Val so delicately put it. Other stories of mine, yes, but that one?

Once again I crave your forgiveness, for my misunderstanding - some days, I am a little slow on the uptake - must be old age creeping up!

Thanks Butterfly_Kisses. She'll turn a year old next month. I love the fact that this site is very democratic. With people like valkricry, SDS, rookdygin, Miracles51031 and others keeping the peace and sanity intact. To the moderators, I would like to add that I'm willing to do editing work for them on an honorary basis. Please do revert guys!

Ooops, sorry, Ari - I was perusing another board. No offense taken here. (Really though, NEVER EVER read Fergie's stories without tissues close at hand!)

Metalguru,
From this additional information, I'd say the negative outweighs the positive and you should get a cleansing/blessing done to help move it on. Even if it is your Grandpa,don't you think he deserves to be at rest? You feel 'terrified' therefore what-ever it is - its gotta go.
Your fear of the dark... Well here's a little tid-bit I used to get rid of my phobia of snakes (I still do not like them, but I don't panic like I use to). And I had it bad - even an unexpected picture of one would scare me! Try being in the dark for say 3 minutes at a time, you can be right next to a light source if you like. Once you can do the 3, increase it to 5. Slowly, very slowly work the time you spend in the dark up. This can take months, and depending on how deeply seated the fear, even longer. But you will be surprised at how empowering conquoring that fear will be.

At allesgute, congrats on your baby. And I also love this site, I can't help but get on everyday and read a few stories. I just think its so great that people can comment on stories, and the writer can give their feedback. The way this site is designed just gives a little more authenticity to the stories.

Ladies!You on the same page with me?Hello!Please reply and lay my fears to rest!

Dear Fergie,
Val's deduction is right again and that is what I meant.

Val,
I think Fergie understood that too and was pulling my leg.

Gals,I hope I did not offend any of you?

valkricry I haven't received any email intimating me of the rejection. I just thought it might be rejected (I know assuming makes an 'ass' out of you and me). Don't mind waiting. I understand that editing is a pretty thankless job, considering that I work as an editor for a newspaper myself

At Valricry, aww, aren't you just the sweetest?! Thank you for that ...by the way, love your poopy/pupi story

Hi, Justice. Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand what you mean about seeing a spirit in your mind.

An amateur's opinion: If you're sensitive enough to feel a presence, you're probably sensitive enough to tell whether or not it's friendly. So I think you can trust your own judgment about Maggie's intentions.

allesgute, if your story was rejected, I believe you get an email telling you why. Sometimes, it just takes the mods awhile to wade through all the submissions. The page for that usually reopens on Mondays. (There's a lot that the mods do behind the scenes as well as have lives, so it can take awhile.)

I would like to add something else: my cat often randomly meows for no reason and runs as if something is chasing him/scaring him. In addition, I notice that he sometimes stares at a wall as if he's hypnotized.

Oh man... Internet humour/satire is so sad... It makes me want to cry

Fergie - I believe Ari means your story struck an emotional chord with him.

Val - 1. Yes, I had feelings of being watched prior to his death.

2 - He had some type of accident at work which made him both physically and mentally unstable. He had various heart conditions, couldn't eat properly, his face drooped and my dad also said he was very sick with the mind and I believe he referred to it as schizophrenia.

3 - I just turned 20 years-old this month.

4 - As previously mentioned, I feel terrified when I see the lights and I'm unable to move.

5 - I didn't do any major changes to my room but my family painted it about 10 years ago or so, I don't know if that's of any importance. We did do major renovations in the basement about 3 years ago which I believe we started after my grandfather's death. No, there isn't any possibility that it could have been a car because the only window to my room has a view to my backyard with a laneway separating my lot from my neighbours.

Ari - I didn't seek any help (I'm still terrified of the dark to this day) but I'm slowly accepting my fear. When there's somebody else in the room with me, I don't feel as scared. Hope that answers your questions of my "phobia".

Dear Fergie,
Are you taunting me? Poking fun? Trying your hand at satire?
Maybe nothing fell into my eyes, they just got red and swollen due to something else... Why should I tell you?Don't bully me

And yeah I was thinking about checking out Val's other place.

Regards

Thanks so much Butterfly_Kisses, and valkricry. That was very sweet gesture from both of you. I did see your response to my question Butterfly_Kisses, but forgot to reply. Sorry for that. I myself had my baby when I was 29. Keep writing sweets.
I love this site so much, kind of addicted (My husband keeps wondering what I'm reading with so much interest. He doesn't believe in the paranormal). In fact, today I was going to post a story, but found that posting has been stopped. The earlier story that I submitted seems to have been rejected. Well, I guess there's always a next time:)

Oh Ari, I am so sorry. What fell into your eyes? Do you know what it was? Do you think it had something to do with my stories? If so, my abject apologies! I certainly hope that you will not have a re-occurrence of this.

Thank you for your advanced compliment.

BTW: Val has some very interesting stories (and other things) on her site - you should check it out!

My Dear 'Holmes',
Points noted, on the notepad.
And you juggle very well, if you get my drift.
I am not so gifted *sigh*.

Still,I shall try and turn out to be a worthy assistant.

Cheerio

Hi BK and allegute154,
No idea why allegute154's comment was dinged a point either. But since BK wanted allegute154 to have her point back, but lacked points and I couldn't fathom a decent reason to ding someone for an honest question; I'm giving allegute154 a point for BK. Everybody happy now?
allegute, try not taking the negatives to heart too much, unless you get multiples on the same comment, then you might want to rethink what you said. Other than that - well, it's like a silent opinion. And sometimes it's just real bad eye to hand coordination.
Like you yourself said with a multi-national forum like this, we're bound to trip over something at some point, just like in life. When I was little (like 3 or 4) my brother-inlaw, who's Russian called me 'pupi' (poopy) which in his dialect meant 'little doll', well here poopy means something quite different and I was very, very upset! All that crying over a compliment! Geeze. But live and learn, eh?

Dear Fergie,
Thank You
And I did not dare to read the story again, only the comments between you and me, because I remember last time after reading your stories, something fell into my eyes and they were so red and swollen afterwards.
Looking forward to your new story though. I am sure that will be another interesting read.

Regards

At allegute154, I did respond to your question in an earlier post, but since it was combined with other responses maybe you didn't see it. I'm in my early 30's, and I believe the next age bracket is middle age adult, so I'm probably grouped in young adult because I'm not yet middle aged. (btw, I just want to add that I wasn't a teenager when I had my child, I was 27. And I'm sorry you had a karma cut, you seemed sad about it, so I wanted to give you one back, but I couldn't since I don't yet have ten post)
Enjoy your day,BK

hello ari... Tomar khotha tao thik... Gore kao nai are awarz asbe toh check toh korte hobe... But still you have gutts to face this type of situation... Very brave huh!

Wowh maan freaky that's like a nightmare, or horror movie senerio.

At webbie, thank you for liking my story. The thought has crossed my mind that my mother may have had some idea, or "feeling" about the house. I once heard her say she didn't like the house, not because of how it's designed or how it looks, but "just because".
Also, thanks about the tips of the land records, I didn't really know where to start.
And Webbie, I can only imagine what must have been going through your mind when you saw your shed door opening and closing by itself. Can I ask if you've had any other experiences in your home?
Thanks, BK

Great story Know Seek! If you want to know who the apparition was or even if it was an apparition or a trash can, you could ask your neighbours or your family members about this man you saw.

Dear "Watson" *giggles*,
One never knows when insperation will strike or a memory triggered. Might I suggest a small notepad to jot down such things? Personally, I keep two, one for when shared experiences jar memories, and I think I might want to share here, and the other for ideas for stories that I post on another site, that will NEVER be shared here. (Simply because they are either non-paranormal related or a work of fiction and have no place on this site.)
Just a thought.

Good story sweatseveryday! I enjoyed it a lot. Maybe this woman was some one who didn't die here but lived in agony. Sometimes spirits are attached to something that they really cared about or hated or shared an agony with. If you find out anything more about this woman please post it.

Regards,

AUSTRIA.

Montyam, I'm glad you returned the spoon and resolved to kick 'Monty' out. In your latest comment you said 'Arnold has been arguing with Monty all night but that is another story'. Who is Arnold?

Lol Ari,

I only give praise, when I think praise is due, as I am sure is the case with other posters as well. So what has been dished out to you, you truly deserve!

Um, I recall you giving your 'short version' on "Angel's House"...if memory serves me correctly.

Yeah Ari, dig into the recesses of your mind, please. I an sure you can ferret out something. We all appreciate your writing.

I have submitted another narrative, which should be posted soon. Not my 'story' per se, but one about my youngest granddaughter. Keep tissues handy!

Dear Meghna,
Thanks for appreciating.
Aami to bhoy peyechhilam khoob. Kintu baarite keu nei. I am the sole protector of the house. Aamake to dekhte hobe, kichhu korte hobe! So I became a detective. Mu ha ha ha ha!

Regards

Dear Loch,
Sorry I took this long to reply.
Thank you for reading and appreciating.
Would love to read your stories too. Do submit one.
And you are absolutely correct in saying that being brave means persevering inspite of fear. I think you might have a lot more to share. Keep posting.

Regards
