Ghost In The Machine on 2009-09-28

A few interesting things have been occurring in my home the past month or so. If you are not familiar with my home, I suggest reading my two previous accounts. Victorian Flat Two and Victorian Flat Three. With that said: In August I noticed some strange things happening here. Currently my fiancé ...

The Ambassador East Hotel on 2009-05-26

In honor of my friend's 25th birthday, I thought I'd share a quick story. My friend Sean and I are originally from Chicago. However I currently live in the suburbs and he in New York. About every 2 months he comes home for a long weekend. Normally he'll rent a hotel room in the city for a Saturda...

Easter Visit on 2009-03-18

I think this will be one of my last stories on here. Things on this site don't seem the same. Maybe I need a break for a while. Plus I miss some old posters that I don't see anymore. With that said, this isn't a gloom and doom scary story. It is not grand. I didn't play with an Ouija board or see...

The Stone Cold Kid on 2009-01-26

I've shared my experiences that occurred in my childhood home in Lisle, IL. Ghost Farmer and Ghost Farmer two. Yet, after all these years there has been an incident that has stuck with me more than the 'farmer" or anything else. It may not be paranormal, but just recalling it makes me wonder. Som...

Victorian Flat 3 on 2008-12-17

I had something interesting happen here over the weekend. As posted in "Victorian Flat Two" I have moved to a new apartment. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do so. It gives background on where I live and what has happened so far. My parents have a cat named Phillip. He actually is "mine" bu...

Victorian Flat 2 on 2008-12-08

Some background info: My fiancée and I have moved out of a complex and now into an old Victorian home. In a previous post I wrote about seeing a "boy in a cape". The last few weeks of living there I didn't see him. With the stress of moving and the rental company being jerks, I didn't see him or I ...

We Were Here on 2008-10-15

This is a story my father told me while looking though old family photos a few weekends ago. It may or may not have relevance to this site, but I thought I would share. A little background: My father comes from a family you can count on your two hands. My grandparents, My father, My aunt, My grea...

Boy In A Cape on 2008-09-17

I have this weird thing going on along with the "pokes" at night. For about two weeks now, I feel or see something in our apartment hallway. It doesn't matter if my fiancée is home or not, I see this figure standing at the end of the hallway by our bedroom entrance. The figure is white or light i...

Pokes In The Night on 2008-09-08

I just wanted to know if anyone else has had something like this happen: I have felt a "poke" on my shoulder at night, in bed. I share a one-bedroom apartment with my fiance'. It has happened about 5 times so far. Not in a row however. I'm awake when this happens. The latest was last night. I got...

Ghost Farmer 2 on 2008-08-25

I have posted before about the "farmer" I often saw in my backyard. I just thought I'd mention a few more things that took place while growing up. 1. Most fathers have their "favorite chair." My dad was no exception. It was this old chair from the 70's. It rocked back and forth. It also swiveled....

Ghost Farmer on 2008-05-27

I grew up in Lisle, IL. It is a smaller suburb compared to Naperville and other surrounding burbs. In the 30s it was a farming community. My grandparents, like most of the growing community members, had a house built during the 50s. My parents and I moved in with them around 1984, when I was an infa...
