Ghost stories comments: Page 6

Hello rickvantrippen, what an incredible experience!

You write well, I could picture it all in my mind, Often ghosts appear after their death as they did in life, so her peaceful air was something I feel she very much projected when she was alive despite what we assume about her physical life. In fact that may be one of the primary reasons she showed herself as she did. History tells us one thing but we cannot assume that everyone shared the same experience. I feel she was there to draw your attention and then disappeared when her work was done.

Of course the fact that she appeared so real, that you thought at first she was of flesh and blood begs an interesting question I've often pondered: How many 'people' do we pass on the streets and in stores etc every single day are real and how many may be ghosts?

Thanks for sharing!

Hi rickvantrippen--This is the type of account that keeps me checking in on this site. Sightings such as yours seem to happen in what otherwise seem to be innocuous moments. Maybe that is the reason they do happen at such times--a person is more open and susceptible to seeing an apparition because of the mind's relaxed state. As you had only been superficially engaged with the tour guide and so on, it allowed for your mind to pick up on whatever type of presence it was you saw.

It's interesting how many sightings of full-body apparitions (and paranormal incidents in general) happen so randomly, when the paranormal is the furthest thing from the mind. I had a similar sighting at an apartment I lived at, but mine was of a long-dead butcher. The account is on this site and is titled "Incidents At South York Street." Like you, my initial thought was that what I was seeing was simply a person until, in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Thanks for sharing your account. Groovy stuff.

Thanx for your comments- and yes, nice to have what seemed to be pleasing spirit experience when so many seem prone to dark and evil interpretation. As for my poem/lyrics, it is simply a sort of addiction I've had for years (30 some songs are free on YouTube by searching Rick Ponto songs). I've had several other spirit experiences and will be posting more. Again, thank you for reading my true recount of that day!

Tweed
True that 🙄
Well, I thought I had something to write about at first... But thinking back... No, not paranormal at all... Well we did go to the hospital and brought him some medicine... After that I brought them to meet up with the "professional" people, a monk from a famous temple and a priest from a famous shrine. Both had the same conclusion, stress.
Well not too surprised but my friend also asked if that relates to the curse... The answer divided.
The priest said, the person who made the wound might have sinful thoughts 🤔
The monk, there is no curse 🙄
Well, I guess different person will have different opinion after all BUT all we need is a quick medical treatment. Right?
My friend too was a little too not matured this time... I know...

Hi Tweed,
Nice to see a similar name on here 😊.
And thanks. After I did all that and he left me alone, I continued to light incense for him every night on the balcony and would burn money for him once a week, for the month. I actually felt empthathy for him, knowing he really wasn't that bad. But maybe feeling neglected in the after life.

What a great read. To notice the basket shape and bundled cuttings and to find years later their place in that time period, you must have chuckled to yourself, that piece of the puzzle fell into place. A full apparition sighting makes you open your mind to many, who, what, and whys, did she not go to the light, is this her residual presence and her spirit has already moved into the next life. Is she trapped on this plantation. She seemed angelic and seemed to have found peace in her afterlife. It is hard not to feel for these spirits and wonder what happened to them and why they are still here. Did you have a guitar in hand when starting this ditty, or did it start as a poem. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rickvantrippen, thanks for sharing such a well researched and wonderful experience.
It's fascinating thinking on the physical and sprit bodies and what that means.
The lady's life must have been extremely hard and yet she visits the location with a sense of serenity. Given the overwhelming amount of encounters with angered, frightened or sad spirits at historical locations her demeanour makes her unique.

Hi notjustme, I agree with you 100% about spirits needing respect. You were right to burn paper money and do all that you did. Sometimes it's not about what the living believe but what the spirit/s believe. Well done achieving a peaceful home after a pretty persistent haunting!

Hi blosomes,

It sounds a lot like your friends want the drama and excitement of a paranormal experience to the extent they're willing to deny any physical explanations. Immaturity and recklessness on their part. All physical explanations should be exhausted before any paranormal ones are considered. They're doing it the wrong way around. Tell the dude to go to the doctor... And maybe also tell him to grow up.

Hi Ragine,
Like I said, I'm not sure I believe in the whole paper money thing, but I do believe sometimes they feel like they someone intruded in their space and wanted some sort of respect. Suicide/murder victims often carry a very strong energy that lingers in the space they spent their last breaths. My cleaning lady saw the buddha and mentioned something like "oh you're a believer in Buddha?", so I told get about my incident, and she shared that she often experienced weird happening in these buildings. This area is called Vinhomes. And it's fairly new. But the land is not. After that she said she will only clean my apartment if I was home.

Quite an interesting experience, from what I've read it seems like a restless spirit that couldn't move on until you offered it the paper money.

Spooderman
Oh my, your name made me smile 😁
Well we got him to do a bacterial check... Too complicated to explain, but he will need to remove some of his old skin and needed medical treatment 🤔
We also went to a shrine and a temple for whatever spiritual problem they have so... I think no worries for now?
But tell you what I have a story to tell and will be writing it sooner or later. 😉

Hey Blosomes,

There are many instances of itching or mysterious scratches caused by paranormal beings. However, your friend's cousin really should seek medical help at first. I personally think that these are some symptoms of inflammation or eczema. But if none of these things work, and the doctor says that there's no problem in his body, then there may be a chance that it was done by something supernatural.

Rajine

Will be backing up with today's doctor's check.

I might be able to answer what really is happening to the wound, now I am waiting for the result.

We will also meet a monk from a temple, and a priest from a famous shrine, talk about the curse my friend's family have and so on. Hopefully this will help? (not too sure) Well, they could have done it a couple of times but just to calm them down a bit, I have done my research hopefully to help them up spiritually as well 🤔

I will see if I need to write another story about it, to just share this possible... Possession? 🙄

Gotta go

Hi blosomes

I wonder why he's stalling... Maybe he's nervous about going for a check up, hospitals scare a lot of people.

True there's a lot of stuff that seems to defy logic, I will read up on these legends, it's understandable that since this isn't your personal experience that saying too much would be an invasion of privacy.

[at] The_Last_Voyage_11 I agree, there have been numerous cases where people have described witnessing their own surgery, which makes me believe in spirits and the entire Hinduism is based on spirituality

Sorry for the late response, but the whole point of what I wrote was, there's a fine line between genuinely experiencing a supernatural event and our minds playing tricks on us, something I realized when a close relative developed Alzheimer's alongside schizophrenia. He would see people and things where there was nothing but a blank wall. This has made me question whether ghosts truly exist, or if it's just our minds at work. Humans are known to see faces in random objects, like clouds, for example. When we enter an unfamiliar place, our fear heightens, and our senses become more alert than usual. Watching a horror movie, no matter how bad, is a perfect example - some part of our brain becomes more active. Prayers, too, often feel like a way to convince ourselves that things will be okay, even if they aren't necessarily connected to any divine intervention.

I enjoy reading ghost stories and do believe in spirits to some extent because unseen energies are often overlooked in modern science. However, we need a more logical approach to these topics, rather than immediately interpreting anything as ghost e.g. Most stories where people see shadows and think of them as ghosts.

Honestly, it's human actions that frighten me more than any ghost ever coups

[at] ladyglow: I agree and not fully deny the link between SP and paranormal, give that some people have given third person accounts of same

[at] Rajine ofcourse some SP can be very traumatic, I experienced one two weeks back and felt like someone pulled my blanket a little and I was in a hotel room but then I came to my senses and thinks settled down. Also one more experience where I experienced sleep paralysis inside sleep paralysis. But once it's over all of it feels like a bad dream

Hello MythBelieve, great story! It's refreshing to see someone approach the phenomenon of sleep paralysis from a more curious and observational point of view.

I can offer another perspective that isn't quite as scientific. When we sleep at night, our spirit/soul tends to astral travel, (where it goes and what it does is a subject of speculation) while our physical body rests and recharges. When people consciously do this, they observe a cord attached to the body, it's what keeps the two connected.

When our soul/spirit returns, it reintegrates with the body, reenters it if you will. If the body wakes during this process, it can cause the symptoms associated with sleep paralysis.

Essentially the breakdown is: a person in astral form (spirit/soul) is half in and half out of the body when the body accidentally awakens before the process is complete. Since they still can see with their 'astral eyes' as it were, they can see all manner of spirits and entities as well as hear sounds not audible on the human listening range. Since they are not fully back in the body, they are also not connected completely to the nervous system and it seems as if they are paralyzed. They are at the moment in an energy body and a physical body but the two are not fully integrated.

Most people of course panic, the body and mind cannot comprehend what is going on and flashes Danger, Danger. This makes things worse as it slows down the person's reentry into their body. Not by much, but the spirit/soul/astral body perceives time differently than we do in our body. It's why the moment can seem to last forever. At some point, the soul/spirit is reeled back in completely and the person loses their extrasensory perception ability and the spirits and entities and sounds seem to vanish immediately and of course since they're back in their body they can move again.

This is basically what happens and many people report all kinds of experiences during these moments, though much if it can be tied back in the same way. You're right as to how your sleep habits actually connect with your experience. When you think about it, if you wake up at different times than you're used to, and at times your spirit/soul is used to 'journeying' than you would have such instances of sleep paralysis, as your body wakes up at times it's not used to and before reintegration is complete. Stress plays into it too, it's why people have it so much during stressful times, they typically wake up much more frequently and usually with anxiety already present.

Hopefully this helps in your understanding, and it sounds like you've already got a healthy perspective of the experience as it were, so stay curious and thanks for sharing!

Travis Cannabis

Is it a drug? You shouldn't be promoting drugs dude.

Rajine

Yup, we are kind of trying to find a more logical way for her cousin, but I do not know why, but he seems to be escaping from medical help, this morning me and my friend reserved the hospital to do a bacterial check. He says he was busy in his work and needed to go to work... We told him to freaking just take a rest today to do a good check for his own health sake,
He says he will be going on Thursday, the day we will be going back to Hokkaido. We told him he have to go before that 🙄

Well one of the reason is that they are from the bloodline of one of the Ochimusha legends, one of a very famous one, about one of the generals during the Sengoku period, not going to be too detailed but you might be able to guess from your own research, you know its something very personal now a days. I know, it is very superstitious, but sometime there are coincidences that we really cannot explain 😳

Hi blosomes the scratch marks that people get without any logical reason is quite scary, but if there's no logical reason as to why those marks appeared then it's cause for concern, but why does your friend think that they are cursed?

For as long as people experience sleep paralysis, it will continue to terrify all of us, going through it can be very traumatic, some people believe that there's a more scientific explanation and some supernatural, me on the other hand am on the fence because I've experienced it both ways, so I believe that there's a fine line between the science and the supernatural.

lady-glow
Well, we met up like yesterday evening.
My friend's cousin seems completely normal but he got his right arm wrapped because of the wound. I told him to go to the doctor, he says it's a weekend and wanted to wait until Monday, I am going to get him to go to the doctor first, before visiting any temple or any shrine... Hopefully I will not need to write up another story for this... But if there will be any updates I will try to write it up... More simple and shorter.

Dude you don't know what a doobie is? You better not ever try one. If you saw this chesy horror movie thing with your 5 senses, imagine what you see after a doobie? 😳

Prathu.

The core of your story is, you heard a noise that could not explain/identify at that moment, but it doesn't mean that there's not an explanation nor a mundane cause for that banging.

You are expecting help from the members of this forum but seem not ready to accept the fact that the noise might have not been paranormal, neither seem to be willing to investigate and/or ask questions to other members of the gym.

If you have read other stories and the section comments on this site, you must have noticed that it's very common to advice a throughout investigation of possible logical causes for a given event before thinking it is a paranormal occurrence.

Perhaps it's time for you to do your part and come back whit whatever new information you could find.

Just my opinion.

hi ram.

Thanks for your input. It makes me wonder if this is one of the reasons behind spirits, specially female spirits, in Indian stories for the most part seem to be angry and resentful. Perhaps they are looking in the afterlife for the justice it was denied to them by the living.

Hi blosomes.

The first thing to do is to go to the doctor and discard any underlying health issue. It's weird that the cousin hasn't looked for medical treatment if these wounds keep on getting worse.

Hello MythBelieve.

I really enjoyed your story, even though there are no ghosts in it.

I believe one should always try to think of all possible logical explanations before assuming an event to be paranormal in nature. Usually the scariest monsters are the ones a person makes with their mind.

Said that, I do not discard the possibility of a link between sleep paralyses and some paranormal encounters, specially in cases/places where paranormal activity has been documented.

I have randomly experienced SP several times in my life, not following any given pattern. On one of this occasions I felt, and actually saw, one of my cats climbing onto my bed, kneading the blankets and, lastly, seating on my chest; that was enough to end the SP. Then, when I tried to hug my cat, my hands went through his body and he disappeared once I was fully awake.

I'm not sure if I was dreaming or if my departed cat Tom came to help me to wake up. That was the last time I had SP... I wish I can have SP again just to see if my cat comes to my rescue.

Thanks for sharing.

Prathu, don't forget to consider that from what you told us, the building, especially the terrace was very quiet and that amplifies sounds. Have you ever noticed that you can hear the echoes of your own footsteps in a quiet building (say after close) when in that exact same building you don't when it's active? In many cases where a person reports hearing someone follow them when alone this is the case.
Yes, air in pipes can sound like 'bangs', as can the movement of animals when they hop around, wrestle with each other, or 'jump' from spot to spot. The silence amplifies the sound.
If it was the least bit windy, loose or damaged roofing materials can make a banging sound too.
Another possibility is if the gym uses a balanced ventilation system that has had something go wrong with it. That's a system that uses a couple of turbines to push/pull air around to keep indoor air 'fresh' and remove the stale air. It can produce a banging sound, that goes unnoticed during the day because of ambient noise, but at night? VERY loud. Most of these turbines are installed on roof tops.
Just some more possibilities.

Hi [at] lady glow, the author has not responded in this thread.
Henceforth I will take the liberty to answer behalf.
Just my opinion, usually the legal system is bit tricky in India especially when the law enforces are involved.
In order to avoid any such untoward interaction with the cops/ law personnel, people kind of take these steps.

TravisCannabis,

It's broken after being dropped in a bucket of water, apparently. And it was pretty weird yeah. A big water booger isn't far off. What's a dobbie?

[at] Rajine so I can see that you gave 3 possibilities for that sound-

1) Stray dogs-
It is not possible for stray dogs to go on that roof as dogs cannot climb that high

2) Cat-
Yes it is possible as cats can climb high on the roof but the fact is there are no cats near my gym

3) Birds-
It is also not possible for bird to make such a loud sound due to their light weight

So I hope you got my answer
😊

Cant, I don't think you get notified.
Generally, in the past after the stories were updated with the pictures they would be 'bumped up' in the listing. Or there would be a post stating a picture was added.
Again, this can take a very long time to happen, and is something beyond my control.
Of course you can always re-post the url to your pic, if it starts to be buried.

Where's your handy-dandy phone when you needed it? I think the creature looked like a giant booger or a humongous slug. Where and when did you buy the haunted bucket? 👻
Idk bro, haven't seen anything this weird with the help of a dobbie. 😁 😉

Val when my picture is added to the story will I get a notice from the Webmaster that it has been added, or do I just keep checking my story.

Not to scare, but important to say so you take action. It could have been them that killed your grandfather. Tell this a loud "No weapons formed against me shall prosper in Jesus name, Amen!" And then pray for your grandfather, ask God and Jesus to please take your grandfather and forgive him, to have mercy on his soul. Just in case. You lose nothing by trying this. No weapons against you shall prosper, I pray

Rajine.

No clue about what the music was about. And the thing in the bucket had "folds", for the lack of a better word. Nothing to denote it was human at all. A fetus is the first thing to come to mind, but it didn't have "head" or "limbs".

Do you think perhaps it could have been a wild animal that caused that sound? A stray dog or cat or a bird?

That is quite strange, I wonder what the sound of the Conch shells were for, and that thing in the bucket, did it have any distinctive features?

[at] MythBelieve yes I could have but I thought my friends would have denied to go in that room so I not took them

Being alone, I understand you will be scared but You could have took all your friends with you and checked once and closed the tap

[at] lady-glow yes you are right I misunderstood your comment my bad... But the fact is there are no animals like cats or like that near my gym... And secondly it was not a windy day the weather was normal... I didn't took time to look for the source because there is no stairs or ladder to get there on the roof... It is only just a roof... As for the pipe attached to the wall, it will make sound but not as loud as a bang I think...

I hope you got me 😊

"it was 10 in the night why do you even think that someone would be there on the roof at that time?"

Actually, my previous comment doesn't say "someone" but SOMETHING. Meaning not a person on the roof but, perhaps, an animal, or something else. Perhaps it was windy and an object was trashing around?

My point is, you really didn't take the time to look for the source of the noise, hence there's no way to say if it was caused by a mundane event or by something else.

"there was no way water could flow from that roof as it was the last floor in the gym."

It seems like you misunderstood my words, I didn't mean water falling/flowing from the top of the building, but the water running through the pipe feeding the "tap attached to a wall."

Even if the building isn't old, there could be undelaying problems like "water pressure issues, loose pipes, air bubbles, and worn-out fixtures. Mineral build-ups in the pipes can also cause loud noises."

Https://www.angi.com/articles/why-are-my-plumbing-pipes-making-noise.htm

I could say that the source of the noise was a chupacabras wearing a polka dot tutu jumping on the roof but, what evidence do I have to say such a thing?
The truth is, there's not enough information in your narrative as to reach any conclusion to the nature of your experience. Just my honest opinion.

Further investigation would be helpful.

[at] valkricry mod bro if animals walked on that roof then it should have been a walking sound... But it was a literal banging sound like the one we hear when someone hits a big drum with a drumstick... And yes the air in new
Plumbing pipes can make weird sounds but not as loud as a bang I think...

[at] TravisCannabis this is the most hilarious comment I've ever seen😂...but if you were in my place you would have did the same thing...

I tend to agree with lady-glow. There could be a logical explanation for the sound. What about nocturnal animals? (I had raccoons take up residence in the wee spacing between roof and ceiling and at night it would sound like a VERY big man walking on the roof!)
Even with new plumbing air in the pipes can make some weird sounds too. As you said, 2nd floor rarely used, which makes me think the tap wasn't on very often either. Of course, none of this means it wasn't something paranormal, just some mundane things that it 'may' have been.
Like Cant says further investigation would be needed.

So, you heard a bang and went from curious kitty to scary cat? 😺😺

[at] CantunSEEit74 yes bro I will definitely try that once I went into that room again 😁

[at] Theomniscient no there is no such violent history of the gym as it is very much modern built around 5-6 years ago... Secondly I don't know whether others have felt the same or not... And also I have not visited the place again after this
Incident as I mentioned in the story

I would go back and do exactly as that night, check water by opening tap again. Go and listen again. To not go back because of banging in the floor over your head. Next time ask out loud, tap on the pipe please. Go back and try to make contact and let us know. You can only grow by leaning in, instead of backing away. Our master shower head will just start dripping at 3 am for no reason. And I am all ears.

Well I've some set of questions for you, first thing first is their any violent history of that gym or of that room? Has any of the other members of the gym has experienced something similar? Do you still get eerie feeling if you visit that place?

[at] lady-glow Bro it was 10 in the night why do you even think that someone would be there on the roof at that time? And yes there was no way water could flow from that roof as it was the last floor in the gym...

Also the gym and the plumbing systems are modern they were built around 5-6 years ago...

[at] Eerie_Enchanters thank you so much❤...and yes I hope I will be safe😊

hi, maybe its some kind of warning before something bad will happen to you I am glad that you weren't alone that time. Be Safe

In my opinion, I don't think one can call this a "paranormal" event without having checked if something was on the roof or if it was caused by the water flowing through the pipes.

Have you asked around if anyone has heard this noise?
Is the building, and the plumbing system, old or modern?

Hi Rajine,
I also think that only for that house warming ceremony my life has been saved.

Hi Neandarthunder,

I think what you say can also be right cos I don't have much details regarding that incident.
Also we can't identify whether that spirit was good or evil that needs paranormal expert I guess.

It seems like a very angry and vengeful spirit that doesn't have closure, who knows what she's had to face and what sort of end she met, which is quite sad if you think about it, she would have had followed you while you were leaving your dad's friends house because of the house warming ceremony that was performed, that spirit wouldn't have been able to enter that house while being latched on to you.

A widow spirit maybe? Widows were (and still are sometimes) barred from eating meat in many places around India. Which state is this from? It's terrifying to lose your bodily autonomy to outside forces. If it turns out to be a widow's spirit, it'd be tragic that she ends subjecting you to the wrong she had been subjected to so many times by the society around her during her lifetime.

Eerie_Enchanters

Complicated but well enough for me, I don't know for others but be readied for more questions possible. 😉

So I think your all doubts are clear now. My (M) grand father had knowledge about Mantras but rest like his past how he gain such powers and maintained it I have no idea.

Hi, blosome I didn't mention the whole thing actually We have our own ancestor temple so my maternal grandfather used to worshiped our Ishta-Devata (according to Hinduism -the personal deity with whom a devotee feels the greatest affinity) and its inheritent in nature. In Hinduism every caste has its own different Ishta-Devata.

hmm?😕

Was my question bad?
I thought you answered your material grandfather did not practice any mantras?

So, he is a priest, right? So he did some sort of practice in this case. 🤔

A very interesting story Vmarie, and well told. From your description, the smoking man appeared to you to be quite real, although maybe a bit off-centre. It would be nice to know if any other witnesses could have had the same awareness of his presence as you did. In view of your remark that you have 'other stories' (which I look forward to reading), maybe you are a person that is particularly sensitive to things that most of us are simply not aware of. But you would know the answer to that observation. Thanks for posting this story of your experience, and please send us more.

Hi there! Your story immediately brought back a memory of something I experienced back in 2004. I was on the phone one night with my (then) girlfriend. As we were talking I heard this LOUD whistling, swirly static-like sound in the phone. It was really hard to describe but it happened out of nowhere and scared the crap out of me being so loud!

After a few seconds I heard a random conversation coming through. I forgot how long it lasted but I spoke and they could not hear my voice. Then the phone conversation somehow resumed back to me and my girlfriend.

I asked her if she had heard that and she said "Yea". We both heard the same thing and were both equally weirded out by that.

I learned not too long ago after that though, that the phone connection must have somehow "bled" through. I'm not too tech savvy on that stuff.

All that said, I think that may be what happened to you and you probably took it as maybe a paranormal experience!

Lady-Glow

I also felt very sad when that incident happened. My maternal grandfather was a Hindu priest, so he had a good understanding of mantras and shlokas. That's why I am sure he helped free that spirit for MOKSH PRAPTI. (attainment of liberation)

lady-glow

About the comment below, just introducing another angle to focus on during such case.

"In my opinion, she was only trying to tell her story and must have been angry, though I wouldn't call her "a malevolent spirit, a dark entity", let's not forget that she was a victim and died by the hand of an evil person."

We may think it wrong to call that "victim", "evil", but a victim would be a victim even after death.

It may not be the woman herself anymore because spirits like that will attract evil entities in some other believes. The spirit will have the same forum of the victim, but because of the angry thoughts, it may attract something evil, to lead original spirit to become something evil.

You have a good point as usual though, and I still respect it. 😉

Eerie_Enchanters
Hmm 🤔
Blessed and he knew the mantras 😳
Surprising to know that without any practice they will also get the blessings 😲 Very interesting and please let him rest in peace, you might still miss him very much.

And Lady-glow My maternal grandfather didn't hurt her; he freed me from that spirit. As far as I know, he was blessed with such powers and a positivity within himself that allowed him to send her to a better place. 😊

hi lady-glow
Yes I am talking about 2 different house one is my father's friend house and another is that abandoned house which we have to cross to reached there. And I didn't research about it because I am not familiar with that area and my maternal grandparents have no idea who she was? I have no idea weather that spirit has been possessed anyone or not and as u said that you wouldn't call her a bad spirit I agree but we don't know about her properly what if she completely capture me and hurt me; see we can't believe such entities without paranormal experts but anyways my life was saved just before something bad happened.

Hi, Blosomes I am so glad that you know so much about our region and beliefs. But My maternal grandfather did not practice anything; its like he was very much into believing and worshiping our gods and goddesses. By god's grace he truly blessed with such powers. But it has been three years since he passed away, so I never have the chance to ask him about all this. And Yes In our religion We do use Sanskrit shlokas as mantra to get rid of negative energy, specifically Vedic Sanskrit. If you want to know more about it, you can search the web for Vedic Sanskrit and Classical Sanskrit.
Thank You! 😁

"As we turned onto their street, we passed an abandoned house at the entrance. As we navigated the labyrinthine streets, we reached a turnoff and were greeted by an old, abandoned house at the entrance."

Are you talking about 2 different houses?

After these six years, have you done any research on who this woman was and when and how she died?

Did your grandparents know her when she was alive?

Do you know if anyone else has seen her and/or has been possessed by her?

In my opinion, she was only trying to tell her story and must have been angry, though I wouldn't call her "a malevolent spirit, a dark entity", let's not forget that she was a victim and died by the hand of an evil person.

Do you know what happened to this spirit after your grandfather's mantra recitation? Did she go back to the abandoned house or did she cross over to a better place?

Thanks for sharing

Hey, welcome!
This experience is really interesting 😲
About your material grandfather, did he practice mantras like those buddhist ones or Hindu ones? And if you know, are they different? I know that the two regions share the same language called Sanskrit. Yes, I do know that there are other religions as well around India, I just want to know if those religion also share the same language called the Sanskrit.
I heard that Sanskrit is known like the Eastern Asia version of Latin, but it was used mainly in mantras and ancient practices. Just curious 😊

Also, it is good to know that you are good now.
Sending love ❤

hi Theomniscient, thancx for your concern but I keep experiencing such incidents rarely but this things happend

hi rajine, sure I will upload that experience related to possession incident

Well, I've heard that healing process really works on one's soul. So it may be really useful if you do the one. May be it may help you ward off that negative energy...

Welcome to YGS.

What you saw was the spirit of the man still hanging around in his familiar surroundings.

I'm finding a bit difficult to picture the scenario you have described.

"he was at the foot of a twin sized mattress on his knees with blood around his feet and appeared to have some injury to back of head."

Was the mattress on the floor or over a base (box spring)?
Was the upper body resting on the mattress or was it on an upright position?
I'm asking because, in my opinion, any blood coming out of a wound on the head would have accumulated on whatever surface the head was touching, not on the floor.
Also, the force of gravity should have made the body fall to the ground?
Unless the scene was staged?

Regardless, I think your experience was unnerving and creepy.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vmarie123

I'd say that feeling you had when you first saw that guy, that's your 6th sense kicking in, it's sad and creepy at the same time, I'd love to read about your other experiences hopefully.

By the way, I had no idea what a "wife beater" was until I searched it, here in South Africa we just call it a vest.😅

Hi Sudabi777

Well when I say that it isn't random, I mean that what you saw was probably a spirit attached to the room you had booked.

Hi Eerie_Enchanters

What else have you experienced?, I'd really like to read about your other experiences, including the ghost possession incident as well.

Jwin Boy, you might have a point there, y'know? Maybe Cranky Nun was pissed at us for hiding the cane from Mr. Gardner, who used to love using the cane on us boys.

Crimson, it wasn't the NT, read it again... It was the Northern Rivers of NSW.

Rajine
That's right 😁
The purring and mewing seems very heart warming rather than spooky 😊

[at] rajine maybe, but there have been some really creepy things that have happened to me before - as I was already possessed by a ghost before 5,6 years.

Hello Rajine,

Thank you for reading my stories.

The room was clean and no handprint on the mirror. I am positive about it.

When you say that you were hesitant in renting transient houses in Baguio because of the stories attached to it, what do you mean? - I was planning on a back-and-forth ride during that time and knowing ghost stories about transient houses in Baguio was just an addition to me being hesitant on renting a transient house.

But I don't doubt that you did see some spirit in your room, the guy peeking at you isn't random... - What you mean random? I will be more glad to know what that is if you'll let me know.

Thank you and God bless. Thanks again for reading my stories 😊

Do you think it's all connected somehow? It is a very interesting yet creepy encounter, perhaps you should talk to a priest or someone who will be able to help you understand what you have experienced.

Hi blosomes

Seems like a very interesting conversation between Aleshanee and something only she can see 😆

Rajine
I got a bonus short story for this.
Aleshanee is still mewing at the space.
I thought at first it was reacting on its eco but it seems that there is some shady vocals or some sort of sound before Aleshanee's "talk". 😳

I do believe so, once a family member went to a psychic and the psychic said that the first spirit to come over was her dog, the psychic correctly described the dog and even gave its correct name, so I do believe that even our pets are around.

One should never tempt fate, when you first entered the room did you see the handprint on the mirror or did you not notice it until after you settled in? Perhaps it was already there from before you got in?

lol two years, better late than never nice to see you around!

Hi there,
I'm also in Arizona and had a weird experience that involved what I believe was a UFO back in 2013. I was in Phoenix's West Valley area heading east towards my home in Laveen at the time. It was night time. I noticed lights to my left, which I first thought was a reflection in the window. I realized quickly that this was not a reflection. It appeared to be an upside down triangle, with lights at each corner. I kept turning my head to look at it without driving off the road. Suddenly, it was like it knew I could see it and all three lights went out at the same time. I was dumbfounded. My boyfriend at the time was in the car behind me but saw nothing. I've heard that they can make themselves visible to some and not to others. It seems that Arizona is a hotbed for this type of stuff.

All,
Thank you so much for your comments. I got very busy at work and have been meaning to get back here to read your comments and reply, like I said I would.

It's neat to know some of you have had the same experiences, which helps validate my encounter. I meant to mention that there was music in the background and it was Lana Del Rey's "Lost at Sea" that was playing. Oddly enough I had been on a cruise ship and Amsterdam was the last stop. I haven't heard that song since that dream but I'm bracing myself for when I do.

Thank you again for reading and commenting.

You think so? 🤔
It is kind of hard to believe but just like my cats in Brazil, they act strangely not just once or twice so it is not a surprise.

Tweed - sorry it's taken me this long to check for comments. I agree, I think sometimes it's just for confirmation and I am happy to have an experience confirmed by someone else. Thanks!

It's only after something happens and the more you reflect on it, the more sense it will make, it indeed is a strange experience but I feel that the answer will come to you eventually.

Hi blosomes

I think that your first cat drops by for a visit now and then, just to see that you are doing OK.

Hello Tweed!

I have been musing about this for the last few days, hard to get it out of my mind! It may have something to do with the portal up the road, the one I wrote about before. It's in that direction the energy seems to have come from, and it's on the same side of the road as my house. I've only been in there a little more than half a dozen times since last year but still feel an energetic connection with the place. What's more, is I discovered the energy within that portal seems to peak around the equinoxes and solstices, not exactly on, but about that time frame and Monday was the new moon as well.

The energy thing reminded me of something that happened to my mother when she was young, I may have mentioned it in the story I wrote about my grandfathers house and I intend to ask more about it when I see her at Christmas.

Manifestation for me ironically seems to happen when I'm unattached to the results as I was here. That even seems to be a basic tenet of the whole law of attraction thing. However you are right, it's a lesson to watch our thoughts and feelings.

You were also spot on about listening to the countdown, it did bring back memories and music I had long forgotten about plus emotional reactions. As I said, I could write a post alone about what happened during that countdown, especially regarding listening to the song I had wondered about.

1998 was the year my grandfather passed and the funeral was unusual, it was a warm September Day and the cemetery was infested with ladybugs everywhere as if like some sign! I was switching majors in college, it was busy, I believe it was the year I also got really sick with some kind of flu bug.

The nostalgia around the Casey Kasem countdowns runs deep, when I was growing up those countdowns, when they were originally broadcast really got me through some rough times. Though I never knew Casey personally. He felt like a friend, someone that could lift my spirits with the way he ran those broadcasts. Plus he was Shaggy in the Scooby Doo cartoons, another thing that got me through those childhood years! Even though he's been gone for 10 years now, listening to those countdowns, he feels very much alive and well in the ethers, if that makes sense. There's no sense of time/space as we define it in those moments.

Anyways, sorry for the soliloquy, but you helped me put more pieces together with your comment and I thank you. I know the event will make sense to me someday, maybe sooner than I think!

Lost Voyage, I live for this type of thing.

A love of nostalgia and immersing oneself in nostalgia really brings on all manner of manifestations and/or synchronicity. It happens to me a lot and I always thank whatever/whoever sends it my way, love it, just love it. However I never feel an energy enter through me, nor do I get urges to clear spaces like your wall. That's baffling and really suggests some otherness is communicating. Even though you didn't feel sentience with the energy that passed through it seems like it was drawn in by your thoughts/energy around the countdowns, particularly the thoughts about the Celine Dion song and 1998. Whatever is going on be careful what you think or wish for as it might have a higher likelihood of manifesting in the physical realm for now. Energy is neither good nor bad so try to keep it neutral or positive with your attitude/thinking. I'm talking as if this is still ongoing, I've really no idea, putting it out there incase it is.

You always come across as attuned to/aware of the energies around you so perhaps you were something of a beacon to this energy or this energy a beacon to you. The way you describe clearing the wall sounded instinctual. Build it and they will come, indeed. Great film.

You mentioned '98 not being your era but not wanting to turn it off lest it end the connection to whatever you'd tapped into. Wise move. Maybe you were supposed to be immersed in 1998 for some reason, personal growth/life lesson connected to that time I'd guess.

Really interesting set of events, thanks for sharing. I get the feeling the order it all unfolded has significance too, but I couldn't hazard a guess why, maybe this will resonate with you.

Cool stuff!

Tweed

True, I don't know if anyone reading this still remember that I had a cat in Brazil as well, ended up under a truck... 😢
Back then she will not appear in the spot where she had her worst time, but she seemed to have appeared a few time during her feeding times and during the time when her only son in different coat was in trouble. I don't feel her anymore but she somehow still is there I can tell 😢
