Ghost stories comments: Page 1

t_bev - What a wonderful childhood you must have had on that farm. I know that as a child I would have envied you.

What a horrifying experience that must have been for you. I think anybody would have been absolutely terrified. A human ghost sitting quietly in a corner, ignoring you, wouldn't have had nearly the same effect. Then again, for some people it might.

I think that if the creature had wanted to harm any member of your family, it would have found an opportunity to do so. I must say it's a bit of a head-scratcher!

Oh...this is so sad... I'm sorry for the loss of your husband and your dog. 😭
I hope they are together and happy again. ❤

I don't know man, maybe the ghost wants to come out of the closet? 🤔 😁 😁

Setting fear aside. How would you describe the sensation or feelings towards the manifestation? Does it give you a sense of dread or menacing aura of some sorts or do you feel like it's just a typical hair raising sensations when all these are happening.

I'm more curious to what you feel at that exact moment, especially on the banging on your bathroom door. It is as if an entity has latched on to you since you're the main focus of it's haunting or of some sort. I want to know if it is more demonic in nature or restless spirit because it is indeed a weird scary story.

Thanks for sharing. God bless.

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update. I haven't gotten to do any research on the house yet (the office hours for my town clerk are weird and they're never open when I'm actually available.

However, the activity has died down now that the renovations are finished for the time being. The cat isn't reacting to anything and seems to have calmed down a lot. I'll try and update again in a few days when I finally finish moving into my new bedroom. Hopefully things stay quiet for a while... I need a vacation from the paranormal. 😜

How sad. I imagine that would haunt me, too. Feeling like there's something that could be done to help this Spirit but not having been able to do so. In truth, she was probably needing the help when she was alive, not after she's dead. As lady-glow said, it sounds like a residual haunting so the actual spirit of the woman hopefully has moved on long ago.

I'm curious how the young person died as I wonder if he was angry for dying so young and took it out on your dad. Do you know how he died?

Whatever the case, it would have to be a pretty strong spirit to physically move your father the way it did. I'm glad he wasn't hurt!

That's a fascinating story FarEndofSpectrum! I'm not entirely sure what you encountered, but it's ability to manifest a shuttered shop out of thin air is baffling. I wonder if such a shop had existed on that spot before. From your description of the area, open shops within no one inside, few people, it almost seems as if you stepped into another time or reality? Then as you fled the area, around the corner everything seemed lively, normal again, almost as if you just stepped out of the twilight zone! When you returned and saw there was no 3rd shop, other than that, did the area seem as before, or feel different? Whatever it was, it seemed to enjoy its interaction with you and repeated the experience, luckily other than knocking and hiding behind the bathroom door, it didn't go any further. I know even that though was unnerving and I am glad it didn't follow you beyond that location. It kind of sounded like a ghost who wanted some company and considered the knocking experience some kind of invitation from you to continue the interaction. Either way, thanks again for sharing!

Hi t_bev, fascinating story. That too was my first impression when reading your story, that despite its appearance, it was blocking the path to protect you. It never lunged and assumed a form you were familiar with. You said your dad was also sensitive and immediately after the encounter some of his first words were a warning to stay out of the black barn as if he sensed the intent behind the appearance. It knew where you were headed and was keeping you away. I imagine it did look fierce, probably scared both of you. I also think If it's intent was malicious, Ajax would have alerted you. His response in this is key. You mentioned the rest of the time you only saw this spirit out of the corner of your eye. Consider this, maybe it was watching over you, only allowing itself to be seen in glimpses so you would know you were protected and being watched over, only appearing directly to you that one time because it was necessary to stop you from going to the black barn. Perhaps as you mentioned because of the coyote, maybe something far more dangerous, who can say? Anyways good for thought on what picked up from your encounter, great story, I look forward to hearing more from you!

Hello t_bev,

I really enjoyed this story. I like how your dad openly said: "It was just smoke, there was no dog"...because, in my experience with talking to men about the paranormal, they are not usually so forthcoming - even if they do believe.

I'd like to add this as a side-note: I love raccoons. You said that they are vicious and I guess they are; but, they are also intelligent in a "problem-solving" way. I have seen several work together to knock over our garbage cans and a neighbor of mine, in Georgia, had one as a pet. Its name was "Marvin".

When you look at the footage from people's trail cameras, there are a lot of raccoons doing crazy things at night.

Anyway, thanks for sharing such a great story!

- Maria

Suzy2 - You bring up a good point. I never thought of it like that. At the time I was scared out of my mind, but if I think back on it in a way of protection, it changes my perspective a bit. Still scared though lol.

The only reason my Dad and Ajax were out there at that time and with the gun was because earlier in the day we'd seen a coyote hanging around close to the house. Seeing one in the middle of the day close to people is usually not a good sign; we were always wary of rabies and animals that weren't behaving as they usually would. Thinking back on it I'm surprised my mom let me go out...

So maybe it was protecting me from a rabid coyote? Who knows.

Side note: my mom was actually the one who got the coyote a few days later. I know it was a few days because my mom babysat during the summer and us older kids were locked in with the younger ones for what seemed like an eternity 😆

lady-glow - Thanks for the comments. I loved exploring that barn because it was huge. During that summer my friend and I spent a lot of time exploring all the side rooms in it; it was like a maze where they just kept adding on. We even found a beautiful baby blue Bel-Air under a tarp just sitting in this big cement garage area! After the incident with the dog it took a while before I went back in there. I wasn't allowed to but I did anyway; but I never felt weird in there.

I don't know if any of these next details can help with IDing this thing but: The black dog was seen a few more times over the years after this incident; but it was always more out of the corner of your eye. It seemed like it was slinking for lack of a better word, like low to the ground and moving in a way that reminds me of a German Shepard. I'm thinking of one specific incident; in the back woods it caught my eye so I tapped my sister and pointed, but it was really hard to look directly at it, like it blended into the trees or something. She saw it too but it was just weird how it was easier to see it out of the corner of your eyes than head on.
Other than this "dog" and a couple other odd things, the place was pretty quiet. Nothing weird ever happened in the house (except for big spiders) 😆

SWS, could this be the footage you're looking for? Http://origin.wjactv.com/news/local/video-tourist-captures-ghost-sighting-at-gettysburg-battlefield-sparks-debate

I noticed on your story that you've mentioned that at one point you could hear the crying far away from you and then slowly becomes nearer.

I just want to point out that there are some myths and superstitions that sometimes when you hear these supernatural sounds that is farther away from you is actually it is NEAR you. The farther the sound is, the nearer the entity or supernatural being is to you.

Thank you for sharing. God bless.

Raz - My first reaction would probably have been to sink back into the mattress with a sigh of relief because my pajama marching days are over; mommy whoever can get up for her own baby!

Seriously though, I don't know what to make of your experience. Perhaps it's one of those things that you have to personally experience to come to your own conclusion.

For how long had the family been living in that house?

Remember you had been away for 27 years and were no longer accustomed to the nocturnal sounds and animal life in that country. I've never been to Bangladesh but I do know that it is vastly different from the UK.

Perhaps you should ask your cousins whether they have experienced any paranormal activity since you were last there.

Regards, Melda

That was a fascinating story. It really pulled me in. Did you ever have any more experiences with the black barn?

I can relate a bit, as I'd had an experience when I was 10. (https://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=25437) I had a sort of experience at a friend's uncle's farm house. While I never saw or heard anything, I could feel something. The upstairs made me extremely uneasy at age twelve. Years later, as a young adult I could still "feel" something different about the upstairs in this house. Although I still felt 'it', the intensity was lessened or I was used to the feeling by the time I was in my mid 20's. My friend was open enough that I could talk to him about it and he'd had no experiences there. The house had belonged to his family for at least 40 years and he felt at home there. My friends Aunt and Uncle were extremely welcoming and the down stairs had all the warmth of a loving home. The only times I stayed over night there we camped outside.
Best,
Rob

I agree with lady-glow, what an experience! I felt like I was right there with you and your dad. My initial thought was, this black dog was protecting you from something in that black barn.

Thank you for sharing your experience T_bev.

Wow, this is a fascinating experience!

T_bev.

I wonder what other secrets from the past were hiding in the old Black Barn. Although I don't see the need for an spectral animal feeding on the flesh of a living one, I imagine they could feed on the energy released by the fear of a prey at the moment of their death. It's hard to know if this black dog was the spirit of a mongrel from the past or if it was something more sinister taking the form of a dog.

Very well written and fascinating story. Thanks for sharing.

Phyllis.

Even though you have decided to close your account and in case one day you decide to pop by, I want you to know that I really enjoyed reading your experiences.

It seems like you are sensitive to ghosts.

Thanks for sharing.

SammyToucan.

That sounds like a nasty ghost, perhaps from a grumpy person that had difficulty leaving behind their material world or afraid of whatever could be waiting for them at the other side of the veil.

Do you know if your father's family did something to get rid if this ghost or to help it to cross over? It seems like the activity was witnessed by most members of the family but your father was the main target of the worst of it. I'm glad that he learned to, more or less, coexist with this nasty presence.

Welcome to YGS and thanks for sharing.

Welcome to YGS.

Raz.

Do you know if any other of the inhabitants of the house has ever heard this crying? Usually, if there is paranormal activity happening in a location, is likely than more than one person will experience it, and is very common for children to be more susceptible to witness "something". Do you know if any of the children had an imaginary friend or talked about people than no one else could see?

Other than that, I wouldn't discard the possibility of an animal as the source of this cries, cats can sound like crying demonic babies. Perhaps the sound was coming through the open windows of the house as the animal was walking by?

Welcome to YGS.

That was a fascinating experience, it seems to me like you witnessed a residual haunting.
It's hard to imagine the reason why she was asking for help, perhaps the annals of the town could shed some light on any tragic past event that could be linked to this young woman.

Thanks for sharing.

Really great post. I love all the compilations of experiences.

Lealeigh I know what you mean... It's been years since I've made comments on stories lol! I think I spoke too soon because I just saw 2 new stories hehehe

Sorry Steve, no link for now. Will try to look for it in tiktok, I'm sure it's in my likes page. I suspect it's in Gettysburg. It's the most famous battlefield in the US;)

19isabela73,

I was in the kitchen when I heard the start of the segment. I ran to the lounge and saw a little bit of the footage, but didn't hear where in America this happened. I've tried googling, but, unfortunately without a place, I'm not having much success. 😕

I'll post my findings if I'm successful.

Best wishes,
SWS
😘

Hi 19isabela73 and Lealeigh,

Do you have a link 19isabela73? Do you remember which battlefield it was so I can search online? I only heard 2 ghosts were caught on dashcam in a battlefield in America. I didn't hear where in America.😣 I'd really like to see that footage. It looked so interesting.

Good to see you
Lealeigh.
Best wishes to both of you and thanks for replying.
😘

First experience wasn't that scary but the second one was... Would love to hear more from you! You are lucky to witness other worldly beings which I couldn't even after trying for more then a decade... You can read my experiences too... I'm a Hyderabadi too...

Yes Isabela,

People are still manning this site. It's just one of those dry spells. "People" have run out of interesting things to say. I work from home now and, God knows, I have run out of interesting things to say... Even uninteresting things to say.

Hi DarriuxDarkk, that's a fascinating thought and it echoes my thoughts exactly. I think they interact with the house just the way they remember it. Maybe like you said, the house actually exists as it did before on another plane. Maybe just inches away from our time echoing a completely different vibration. Some have theorized that's what happens when people 'see' civil war battles, as if it's playing out in another plane/time. Time and space may not exist for us either the way we've come to believe in it! Curious for sure! Thanks for sharing your comments on my story!

I saw what you are talking about on tiktok Steve. And by the way, it's been weeks since any new stories have been added. Is anyone still manning this site?

Not directly related to your story but it made me think of the ghosts of the future, so to speak. You hear so many stories where the men are always wearing bowler or top hats, and the women are always in white, flowy nightgowns or dresses. Does that mean future ghost sightings, harkening back to these times, will recall men with their pans down below their asses and women in tank tops and yoga pants that expose their tramp stamps? Just a random thought.

hi Quasar,

First thing that captured my attention when I was reading your story was when you said you had a fever for 3 days after that incident at the lake.

That reminds me of Philippine superstitions that whenever an entity especially the elemental ones have shown fondness on a child. The child usually developed fever that very day or next.

It is a common occurrence that sometimes parents on the rural areas even seek help on witch doctors or so called albularyos and they do some rituals or offerings to appease the entities so that the child can recover.

Your fever experience somehow correlates to these kind of situations especially that you were young then when that incident happened.

I believe what you witnesses was an elemental spirit, though as what other people have commented, India has their own myths and folklore but none the less somehow part of the experiences you had shared some common grounds on other countries folklores and superstitions.

Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Hello Members,

Does anyone know of a recent ghost sighting in an American battlefield caught on dashcam today? 🤔

The 4.30pm news on Ch 7 today here in Australia, (September 14th 2020), had a segment about two ghosts caught on dashcam at a well known haunted battlefield in America.

I only saw the end of the clip and have been trying to google it so I can watch the full footage.

I haven't had any luck so far.

I'll watch the Ch 7 late news and hopefully they'll repeat that segment.

I'll update my findings if I'm successful.

Best wishes,
SWS 👻

First of all I love reading your story. You guys mentioned about the male ghost interacting with where the stairs have been before like a residual haunting. It fascinates me with the idea that ghosts does not follow the concept of time and space. It is as if they are still interacting the old structure of the house on how they remember it.

I believe that they are on what we call spiritual dimension which embodies the original construct of the old house as they remember it. I bet if one can astral project to the spirit world, a house or a certain place would be totally different but somehow oddly familiar, if you know what I mean.

Thank you for sharing your story. God bless.

Thank you Shabtslover I will think on what you said.

Also if any of you have a problem with solutions presented to me Please feel free to email me another option. It would be more productive that arguments here.

Its too easy for feeling to be hurt and I do not want anyone else being hurt over my issues. I am hurting enough for everyone.

I have enough drama here at home with out having to see it on the page. Please keep disagreements off this page since they don't really help anyone.

I have been getting good advice and and help here and it has not been easy but I do not have anything bad to say about anyone. Even in private emails everyone has been very helpful and upfront.

Thank you for your support and please be calm and do not fight here.

That was lovely to read. It brings me back to when I lost my dog to a tumour. I was so devastated. The next morning, I walked past my living room to go into the kitchen, and there she was, sat on the chair in the front room looking at me. This was her saying goodbye.

alsoo to the author, I don't know much about ways to prevent these kind of stuff but as notjustme said having faith actually helps a lot, as in my previous post, which I am again really sorry to you too cuz I said all that when I should be posting about YOU! Having faith in Hanuman as my brother has saved me a lot of times and it actually feels like he is with me just like a human brother would be, I talk to him, we fight, I get angry at him, I think that it is my right to be saved by him as his sister, ofc I give him bananas in return too😂😂😂, so if you are having a hard time believing you can try that method with Jesus or Your mother or any guide, and I am very bad at English so I don't know how to say it but I send you lots of strength and happiness to deal with thiss

Hey MrsRamsay, I just made this account to clarify that Hanuman is actually a very important part of our Indian culture, just like Jesus for christians, now I personally don't follow any religion but I really have faith in Hnauman or known as the monkey god and I have been treating him like a brother since I was a kid and he has helped me a lot, And I know you may have felt like it may be a cult or something cuz a "monkey" god but it's just our culture like fox familiar in Japan, like that, also Awadhi isn't a monkey god language but it's a language of India, just like Japanese and English, so that was what Pinky person meant, Ik it may sound sketchy to you cuz not a lot of people know about our Indian cultue and gods but as pinky person said we consider the Hanuman chalisa which is like Bible quotes for us very powerful, if you read the Indian stories posted here you will find what I am talking about, And I would want you to not say anything like that again without knowing because I may be getting oversensitive but I have been treating him as family, I don't even believe in gods and stuff I just think of him as a human brother, and there is this festival here in India called Rakshabandhan where sisters tie a thread around their brother, s wrist and the brothers vow to protect the sisters, now I just did that as a kid thinking that if I have the most powerful god as my brother then according to this festival he would save me anytime and he has, even from myself when I tried to take my life so you saying that just made me feel really bad oof... Also I am only 17 so like if I am super emo I am soryyyyy but yeah I would say next time be a bit careful cuz I thought you feel same way about Jesus so you may understand where I am coming from... Also our Indian culture is very rich so there are very different kinds of gods but I assure you they are not sketchy, also a lot of people know about Buddhism which actually originated here in our country but don't know about Hinduism, that kind of makes me sad but I don't know why I really felt like crying when you called him sketchy so like you don't gotta believe in him or something but please respect our culture: (
ALSO I AM SORRY AGAIN IF I SOUND TOO SENSITIVEEE OR OVERREACTING

MrsRamsay do not speak about the things which you are ignorant about. Your attitude is very discouraging. You have no right to ask BrendaDances to stop messaging me. And what sounds like a sketch to you may I know? Your very ignorance in fact sounds sketchy to me.

It's ok BrendaDances if you don't trust me. But here it's like a open discussion for all the members and as a group member, a person can suggest what he/she feels about the situation. No member has the right to criticise or mock a suggestion that is given to a needy member. It's upto the member to consider the advice or not.

Hi quassar

Your experience was thrilling no doubt, the description about entity you gave here matches up with jal pischani (evil water creatures) , good part you guys were saved (as it was destined ofcourse) sonetimes god in form of relatives and frends can come up and save us

I sure am hoping for the best outcome for your family! Please let us know how it goes. ❤

Good luck. I suggest you don't email with Pinksweety or whatever. Sounds sketch.
Ha, like you're going to learn some monkey god language? Holy cow. No pun intended.

Hello ScoobieGang and thanks for commenting. I believe a haunting can be confusing period, it's outside what is considered 'rational' which is why so many people deny it happens, even while it's happening to them. Yes some things in this family home seemed residual, like the cleaning. Much of it though was intelligent. Even the incident you recalled about the stairs, remember this man made an effort to wake my brother up. I've read many stories where many ghosts seem to walk higher than the floor or through walls and then come to find out later, the floor was actually higher in the past or a doorway was at that place in the wall. The ghosts seems to 'interact' with the house the way they remember it, as in the case of the stairs. They are not bound by time and space, though ironically since they try to live their lives as they remember them, they seem to be living in the past. As matrix899 mentioned, houses seem to capture memories and emotions and replay them, but ghosts can also be there if they choose to stay behind for some reason rather than move on after their death. Maybe that man was showing he preferred the stairs where they once were? There are many more stories on here you'll find as well that seems to hold residual & intelligent hauntings in synchronicity. What I mentioned above is the best explanation I can come up with as to why, hope it helps, but I know from all I've read it happens a lot.

Thanks LightMight for commenting! Yes it's interesting how much someone could have gotten away with in those days, no real science to help police find the perpetrators and money had a way of talking. It still does now, but things cannot be so easily hidden, especially with the internet. Back then, especially in small towns I believe things were more easily hushed up, maybe a few things travelled to some of the surrounding villages but that was about it. Although interesting, it is maddening too as I would have loved to have solved that mystery!

Hello matrix899 and thanks for commenting. It does make me wonder how all of this seems more intense at night. I mused on this in another comment I made about how our natural fears seem greater at night and since some of these entities feed off that fear and use the energy to manifest, maybe that's why it's heavier at night, more pronounced and more often than not more sightings take place at night! From what you described about your family keeping to the lower level of the home and abruptly leaving, they must have felt that heavy energy as well. Some people feel it but in no way can they rationally explain it. It's kind of like anxiety and most people want to get away from that feeling! Of course with everything going on in the world now, escaping anxiety isn't as easy as abandoning a 'haunted' house! I agree with you that a house can probably absorb emotions, especially intense ones and can retain 'residual' memories of certain events. Any ghosts or entities left behind probably only fuel this 'collective' memory, kind of like keeping it alive in another space that is parallel to the present time/space of the same home!

BojanTheGoTFan84, thanks for commenting. This are some interesting lyrics you've shared, thanks! They in turn remind me of another place I knew as a child where people would feel that intense anxiety and of being watched as soon as night fell. It was eerie during the day some, but boy was the effect amplified as soon as darkness came. It makes you think for sure! I wonder if darkness and night play with some of our more primitive emotions of fear, and if theory holds true, some entities and ghosts thrive off our fear, then it would explain why so many more seem to be seen at night?

Hi

Thats why grahpravesh pooja is always first thing to do.

Not just only the time you entering first time in house but these holy rituals should be part of daily lives

Such evil forces not only can weaken mentally but also cause physical harm if not pacified proper way

We are working with remote help and yesterday we contacted a local group for assistance.

This thing has done ALLOT of damage to my family and I am not sure what the outcome will be but now I have some help.

Hi, as per vastu shastra, mirror can emit positive or negative energies depending upon thr positions, in any case it should not reflect bed, I would rather cover the mirror if position can't be changed

Hanuman Chalisa saved you guys, this prayer can control evil any kind its proven

Hi

Got goosebumps while reading this incident, but I would like to ask you that how you can be ensured about if your uncles grandmother was right and didn't try to influence taking yourself into her spiritual belief?

I'm confused by the mixed 'types' of hauntings you're reporting. On the one hand, the haunting seems to be intelligent in that the spirits interact with the living, e.g. The way the straighten up and turn away when seen or when the man would move from room to room and lie down again. On the other hand, the hauntings also seem to be residual, like when the man went up the stairs that weren't there anymore. I always thought they were one or the other.

Hi Cherubim, I am not sure. But, I heard from my cousin (mother's side) who claimed to have a third eye, when she was still living with us here in our house, she often sees 2 women (an old woman which resembles my great great grandma from my father's side & a child which we do not have any idea who she was) standing at our kitchen which is beside the comfort room

I enjoyed reading the first 'House on North Street' so much, that I had to come back for part 2!

What I found most compelling about your story was the fact that two different remains (hands) were found during remodeling/demolition work in that home, by different relatives of yours. I completely agree that a murder could've quite easily been covered up back in the 1800's and early last century. Back in the early 1900's, forensic crime investigation in America was in its infancy. Fingerprint identification, photographs, and trace evidence weren't widely used during that time to solve most crimes. Missing persons cases weren't skillfully investigated. Can you imagine how easy it would've been for someone to cover up a murder back in those days? 😲 Maybe it was the wealthy homeowner who committed the crime, and used his property to cover it up with?

Thank you for sharing another terrific story about your family home!
LightMight

LightMight, now that you've mentioned it there did seem to be more activity when my siblings and I were all 16 and younger- I've never actually thought about it like that, but having said that I was also home alone a lot more from the ages of 13-18 so maybe I was just more aware of things/didn't have someone else to blame the noise on.
It feels more as though you're being watched or there's someone always just out of sight more than they want your attention. When I was younger my mum used to just tell me to tell them to go away because they were scaring me out loud and usually the feeling would pass, I haven't done that for years though.

It's strange of all the rooms I feel uneasy in it's the one that's the newest- the ground it was built on used to be my favourite part of the garden, it wasn't until we built onto the house I started feeling uneasy on that ground. It's a room I would have sleepovers in, friends would hang out in and when I was older most party activity would be in there so it should be a happy room that I associate with friends and stuff but for whatever reason it's always been a room that doesn't sit right with me and I rarely stay in it alone past dark.
It feels like there's maybe a few different things/beings/energies in the house; one that's responsible for the footsteps, one that seems to like throwing things, the lady with the blue hair/whatever is in the new room and then possibly a child which is what spoke to my mother.

Creepy, yet interesting, the 2nd part of your story surely does not lack suspense as well...

The_Lost_Voyage_11
This story is really interesting and scary, the part where your cousin saw a woman
floating up the stairs towards him really made me shiver a bit, and the part where
you describe how your aunt saw someone standing over her in the darkness in the
middle of the night, screamed and turned the light on reminded me of the lyrics
'When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you'
From the song 'Fear of the Dark' by the British heavy metal band 'Iron Maiden'
From their 1992 album of the same name. I cannot wait to read part 2 of your story,
I'll tell you my impressions when I finish reading...

Hello Lost Voyage,

Thanks for posting your story, it made me remember the house I occupied briefly (three weeks) with my ex-wife and her parents. After our house burned down due to an unfortunate accident, we got this house to rent and moved in.

This was about 40 years ago, but I remember this house clearly, because it was the strangest house I have ever lived in. This was a two level house, and there was a very heavy feeling throughout the 2nd level of the house. The "heavy feeling" felt like an "unseen presence", and the feeling got worse at the top of the stairs leading down to the first level; the same feeling was evident in the shower.

It was actually a frightening experience for me to go into the shower at night, so I only showered during daylight hours, but the "heavy feeling' was still evident during the day. One day I opened all the windows in the hope that this would make the house feel better. But it did not work.

This house was rented by my father-in-law after his house burned as mentioned, and he abandoned the rental after three weeks without explaining why; but I noticed that they spent all the daylight hours in the lower level and went upstairs only at night to sleep.

At the time I had not given any thought to the paranormal, and did not understand why this house felt the way it did; but after thinking about it over the years, I now think that something awful probably happened in that house on the second level. I guess houses can retain memories or impressions of events that occur within its walls.

Again, thanks for sharing the stories about the house on North Street.

Hi t_bev and thanks for commenting. I stayed there a lot as a kid and never heard anything, most of these stories came out after my great aunt moved out but my aunt & uncle and cousins still lived there. More stories surfaced after it was sold and everybody was out. Almost every family reunion now, somebody invariably brings it up. The only thing that bothered me really as a kid that I remember was this weird carved coconut head in the back porch that really creeped me out for some reason. My grandpa tried to help me get over that fear and I don't know what happened to that coconut?

I'm sure the horses did pick up on something. It was also interesting that most of the people with horses were reluctant to take you. I wonder if anything else besides Louisa could have happened there, have you asked any more about the local history there? You also said your parents gave you an earful after you related your tale, what did they tell you exactly?

Hailing from mumbai, I felt more nostalgic than creepy... For being visited matheran twice... Oh god I so miss going to hill stations during monsoons 😭

Your mind like your house is your property. Just like it's your responsibility to keep the house clean, it's your responsibility to keep your mind calm. No human or spirit can annoy you if you decide not to be annoyed. Be calm. Let the negativity in your life and thought's go. He might be real but he definitely isn't all powerfull to destroy you or anyone. He's just a tricking lying spirit. That's all. Stop believing him or even reacting to him.

Hello Kliah03,
Can you submit that suspicious photo on YGS?

The_Lost_Voyage_11 - Great story! It seems like there were so many encounters with so many different people; did the family talk much about what was happening while living in the house or more after?

Now I'm heading on to part 2! 😁

Hi Dontbeme! Most unusual and uncommon experience you have shared with us. As like your Grandmother, you have also a very good ability of narration. I have added your experience into my fav list cause I had never heard of such thing before and it was a unique experience to add into my knowledge.

In Bangladesh, every supernatural incident is attributed to a djinn. We do have our own folklores and mythical creatures; and they are well known and popular. But they're all considered either myths or djinns in various shapes.

I can tell it was wearing a Saree from the fact that portion of it ran down from its shoulders. I don't know for sure what it was wearing.

Dude, I know what you are talking about... Went to the same place and saw a wendigo family, I even got a video with a drone but the bastard dad wendigo jumped and ate my friggin drone and video camera! 😭

This is 100 percent true without over-exaggeration. 😁 😁

I would like to expand on what VeronicaMarie said and suggest you research the property your house resides on. Lots of verified hauntings are attached to the land rather than the house. If your land had a house on it previously or belonged to a much larger parcel of land owned by a bygone farmer then the haunting could be from that old house or tied to that old farmer.

Also, while I do not know what a dacrystic seizure is, it wouldn't hurt to make sure you're physically sound on the off chance it is something that serious.

The house is new construction with no history. The land was unincorporated. I know in the early 1800 it was Indian land, after that it was part of Rancho until after the end of the Mexican American war. Then the land changes hands a few time and becomes unincorporated in the 1920's

Also the night I slept in the room I dreamed of woman before everything happened. She was small with long straight black hair. Very beautiful I can't remember her words it was more feel. Warm and comforting I remember her playing with my hair.

It could just be a dream but I don't know.

GSDLady - This was a well written and touching story. I love how confident you were in Denis having someone to help guide the way at the end; and I have to believe that your confidence helped him in coping with death. ❤

FarEndofSpectrum,

It actually depends, I would also believe it was a djinn if it was the one often in your country. I'm just basing my opinion that it was a siren because she sings and she was in the water, and they are actually common. 😊

Usually Sirens are depicted not wearing anything on top and they have long hair, and by the way, I don't know what a saree is, I had it looked up in google. Sorry about that.

Dog people appear often and all over the world. They've been alongside human race for longer than most supernatural folklore. Every culture has a dog headed human creature.

I do not know. I, personally, have always felt comfort in the presence of fire. Even before I encountered something significantly paranormal. Perhaps I was seeking comfort. Perhaps I wanted a flamethrower. I was seven.

t_bev

Yes, that house was quite a bad space. That place was also a torture chamber of sorts. A portion of it was blown up by the Freedom fighters when it was reconquered by us. That part of the house was renovated.

No, this happened near sylhet. My other incident happened near sundarbans.

Most people I know told me it was a djinn. Maybe it was a siren. Do sirens wear saree?

As a side-bar, I advise reading the Contact page (https://www.yourghoststories.com/contact.php), there's a wealth of info there!

What about the history of the house? You didn't say anything about it. Did you enquire with previous tenants?

Hi Brenda, I have already sent you a mail. Do check in your free time. By the way are you aware of Lord Hanuman? The hindu Monkey God? Well, I suggest you first do little surfing on net to know about him and ghosts... Then download the Hanuman Chalisa and recite it loudly... Mind you it's in awadhi language... So it will take some time for you to learn it... Do it with full devotion by bringing a picture of Hanumanji in your mind... It will surely help... Jus read it loudly when that incident happens... One on one... Write it down on a page and read loudly... It will work

In terms of pets and allergies, there are breeds of both dogs and cats that are hypoallergenic- such as poodles. All breeds have rescues, I recommend contacting one and chatting with them about it.

As for having a belief in something to combat this thing, it doesn't have to be Jesus or god or necessarily Christian in nature. There are many paths to divinity and all have their merits. I am a pagan and my firmest belief is that if there is anyone out there looking out for me, it is less likely to be a deity than one of my own ancestors. I have had experiences enough to solidify my belief that my maternal grandparents and great grandfather are definitely keeping an eye on me and my mother. You need to pick your own path and not feel constrained by mainstream culture - I figure you can still sort of maintain a mostly atheist stance *and* call on ancestors to protect you if that sits well in your mind. It is belief that gives any method of dealing with this sort of thing it's "teeth."

As crazy as it sounds, maybe look into tantric (ummm) "relations" (trying to stay PG) with your husband. Without going into too much adult detail, it does rather make the act a ritual in and of itself, which may be a power worth igniting at this point in time. Show this entity that the bond between the two of you is in no way weakened by its tawdry advances.

Also, consider placing "talismans" of your own around the space - souvenirs from good times, pieces that were given to you or made for you with love, images of loved ones both here today and those who have passed on - things that bring you joy and happy memories. Play music that makes you smile - sing and dance along. Have friends over for game nights (COVID permitting). Fill your home with joy and laughter.

I recommend this site all the time but it's a good one so here I go again - it's a pretty decent compendium for folk remedies for this sort of thing and many of its suggestions are quite simple; things like placing a dish of white vinegar in the effected space (in your case, the closet) and allowing it to evaporate (we use this method in our kitchen as we have a little lady there who likes us and our cats just fine but tends to like to scare guests).

Most of all, stay strong, show this thing who is boss, be kind to each other and never go to bed angry.

Tabbs - If the actual experience was only half as scary as your telling of it... I wouldn't have looked either.

My daughter has asthma and is very allergic to dogs and cats. She can't even handle a hamster in the house with out it triggering an exacerbation.

Yes it went after me but I am reluctant to say the details here. We are suppose to keep this very non-explicit and I am not sure how to explain it all with out pushing that to the edge. It's also rather embarrassing. That is the limiting factor here that at times is very frustrating since details and thoughts could be important. It's part of why I put my email in my profile so I could talk unhindered if someone needed more detail.

Suffice it to say I kind of went in with the attitude and intent I was challenging it to try something and it did... And I was not equal to the task.

LuciaJacinta - I just wanted to say I think it's awesome that you're so open with your kids. It seems so easy to want to deny things happening in an effort to protect your kids from further fear of the unknown; but typically that means you dismiss what they're seeing/feeling. Whether intentional or not.

priya - It looks like there are instructions on how to remove a favorite story/poster in the comments of this post. Did those instructions change? I don't have any listed favorites so I'm just curious if the instructions are still accurate.

Also, I agree with the points system on not just comments but the posts themselves. Makes sense. Especially for someone like me who is rather new to the site and spends a lot of time going down the rabbit hole here.

Was about to add this to my favorite stories but as a habit I also read comments to know investigators' insights and now I'm feeling very sad that this story is not true at all! 😟
Request to website developers - please provide one new option to remove from favorites stories. Also please provide one new option to post negative rating to story itself so that when negative points go beyond certain limit then story should get auto-deleted...
Because reading false information on such good platform is not good. It creates wrong impression.

Yes the merciful power awaits, the soul has to seek the almighty. He is ready to help in someway or other.

Many souls the spirit try to communicate with their loved ones about their and seek their help to go the other side (by means of some rituals)

These dog human mix entities are really creepy. They seem to appear often either in a more human like form or a more dog like form.

We all have an idea of what torture you are going through. But we also need to know what is happening at the present. My heart really goes out to you during this tough time. As I have told you before why are you hesitating to bring a dog as a pet in your home? I'm sure it will help

Brenda, are you trying to say that it attacked you also? Please tell us in detail. I'm really interested to know what happened.

Quick question... Why would you "turn up all the stoves"? I don't understand the significance or relation to the story.

Maybe I was too Brave. It went after me. I don't know how to express what I experienced here, but I am no longer in any way blaming husband... I think we need a priest or something. I will talk to my fiend that got us the Holy Water. Really not feeling very comfortable talking about this here. It just feels so much more personal now.

The_Lost_Voyage_11 - Thank you for the kind remarks!

It's so interesting to me that people can become used to, or at least accepting of, activity in their homes. I've only lived in one truly haunted place, and I was quite young at the time, so I was accepting of it then. Same thing with GiGi's house I guess.

LuciaJacinta - I don't remember anything happening in the new house. They downsized to a mobile home across town and though we continued to be watched by GiGi for a few more years; there was nothing notable at the new place.
