Ghost stories comments: Page 1

I know this is an older story but WOW, that sounds absolutely terrifying. Especially the part where whatever it was crouched down in the backyard. Do you have any updates?

Oh my gosh this is so sad I can't take it😭. It's must have been devastating to understand what happened to the little girl😢.

Hello Tigerfeet, this is interesting. I guess the fact you can she buildings from the past, is cool. The fact that no one else sees them, is typical for someone who is on the medium spectrum. That gift could really come in handy, like the guy from ghost whisper who could hear ghosts, but couldn't see them, Melinda could see and hear them.👍

Hi there panini,

Another interesting story to share again.

I experienced something earlier with a red crayon (that'll hopefully get published soon) but this seems like I different type of situation.

It's obvious something threw the crayon. Since in the story you mentioned that if someone threw the crayon from the door you'd be able to see there shadow stretch to your vanity.

By what's been happening in this house leads me to believe obviously there's some time of strange history behind it.

Have you ever did research on the house? That's probably the best thing to do.

Hopefully this helps you get a better understanding

Rajine - Hi how are you?

The place is definitely creepy. The whole community that the area is in actually feels "off" in a sick creepy sort of way. It's just a small little community out in the middle of nowhere. Not so assuming in the day time but gets worse at night.

MANY people have claimed to seen the Bingham Light. It's a very popular phenomena in my region. I've heard about it since I was around 10 years old.

The way it was told to me I had imagined it as being some light on a pole out in the middle of a field with a long defunct railroad crossing somewhere in the background, and the light would come off the pole and chase you down. Hearing people talk and telling their stories will have you believing all kind of stuff.

But I found out that the light is quite different than most people have told it...

I know this was 14 years ago but I think I know what you did to anger that sprit.

I could be wrong but I think that some ghosts don't like to get asked what happened before they died.

Hi there BaiAnina,

Gotta admit I'd be more annoyed then scared! I mean maybe it was your grandpa wanting you to go to sleep🤔. But hopefully that sprit wasn't your grandpa you cussed at. Also sorry for your loss of him.

Hi tigerfeet

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your experience and would have liked it to go on even longer. What a richly diverse heritage you have!

It is a wonderful blessing to have a family that accepts your gift, provides sage advice and shielding from harm. I think that in your innocence and youth, as well as the power of belief, you did call attention to yourself. But the entity that came to you was not what it pretended to be, and harboured less than honourable intentions. You saw it initially as a large white teddy bear, because I think that was how you summoned it and it was obliged to assume the semblance of that form.

What I find interesting is that you gradually detected more and more unteddylike details, like the "long snout like a nose", "abnormally long and very sharp teeth", glowing red eyes, "large curly horns", "long and sharp finger nails". It was clearly unable to hide its true nature from you, nor could it simply take you away without your consent. Perhaps your innocence was a form of protection in itself. And you had Granny X.

The gift in my family came from my paternal grandmother, and is shared by several members in the clan. As a child, I lined my plushie toys along the outer edge of my bunk bed, appointing them my guardians against the odd shadows that moved when the lights were off. I prayed every night for protection and courage, and those furry friends became like talismans for my young self. I collect teddy bears to this day. 😊

It's great that you've passed on the gift and the guidance to your daughter. I know that family members do return to see us and occasionally stay for a visit. When I inexplicably smell vanilla at our place, I sense a loving presence and the thought would come of Nanna, my husband's grandmother, who liked to bake.

Thanks for sharing this memory with us. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Lady-Glow,
I don't care if you think I'm 12 and this is fiction. Believe what you want to believe😐.

Hi panini,
Now like lady-glow had mentioned about the, "pepper ghost effect". The chances of that being the case could be around a 50% chance maybe 10% at the least.
You've experienced all sorts of things and it seems like the people in your house may have experienced some as well.
I won't jump to conclusions yet, but if I'm correct that was most likely a shadow figure.

Hi tigerfeet

Definitely a riveting read, we all have a sixth sense or spiritual eye just that only a special select few of us are able to use it.

To be able to summon up a play friend or anything is really quite amazing. Your story telling is fluid, and you have a great memory. It's kind of funny that that Demon just couldn't help itself but put on a Gruesome face for such a young child to try to win you over and possibly hurt you. Got to love Granny X. I wanted to ask, was it actually talking through all those teeth or was he using telepathy, do you remember. I have 3 of your bloods and must ask, do you have the Viking Ring Finger bend down problem or the palm or feet bumps. Mine started 5 years ago. Prevalent on my Mother's side. Hope Charlie made it there. Looking forward to your next story.

Hi BaiAnina

I believe that our loved ones never really leave, they always watch over us.

Hi Dee-J

The way you describe the place has the makings for a horror movie, do you know if anyone else has experienced the same or similar to you?

Hi Panini18

I've had my fair share of shadow people, looked directly at a few, that and disembodied voices, I thought I was going crazy at one point.

Hi Cherubim

Aunt Cora's birthday falls on the 13th of August the same day my mother passed away what a coincidence? And yes, like your friend, I too believe everything happens for a reason or at least the structure of our lives do perhaps with the exception of Murphy's law of which can throw some folk a little off course, and even then, there are lessons to be learned down that road.

We are all connected? There are some really solid theories and experiments pointing toward consciousness as being fundamental to our existence and if that is true, then perhaps "consciousness" is the one entity that connects us all?

Perhaps we are living in a sub-set created by consciousness?

Perhaps the sensation of separation and free will is part of the evolution of consciousness?

Einstein hypothesized there is no time, past present and future are all concurrent so maybe the reason behind consciousness and everything happening for a reason is just a part of the process of consciousness on the road to greater enlightenment or something like that?

Anyway, thank you for sharing!

Regards Daz

Gidday Mweat,

A little late to the party, but your experience has relevance to my father's passing, so I thought I'd drop you a line.

From what you have stated, I believe the odds are very good that you, your brother and sisters were destined to spend some time where your father died.

Just goes to show that encounters with passed loved ones do not have to be "spooky" or "scary" and, in fact, can be beneficial.

My father died of a heart attack while warming the car up (something that had to be done in the 1970's), in preparation for our return trip home, from holidays.

A few years later, I believe that he may have helped me safely navigate through an incident with a broken windscreen on the same stretch of highway that he was about to drive home on before his heart attack.

Even though you guys were unaware of the significance of Exit 40, I'm sure that was his chance to say farewell.

Rex-T

I live in Texas in a small town. Once my husband and I were travelling on a highway towards Lubbock at early morning. I remember we pass through this long stretched highway with nothing at the sides but windmills and empty land or maybe farmlands, I couldn't really tell because it was dark and the moon was illuminating our surroundings that's why I could tell there were windmills. I saw a man walking in a middle of a field at an ungodly hour like he is just making a stroll. I don't think it is supernatural but it is really weird seeing someone up and about around 2 or 3am in the middle of no where. I just had to comment because you mentioned Texas.

Thank you for sharing your story, I bet your Dad was happy to see his family all together. May he rest in peace. God bless.

Sorry, old dude... But the price house was a little further down the river or is it up river...anyways. The Price house was at the end of Laird Ave. In the cul de sac. It was pink and as far as I know remained that colour until, whenever it was torn down. It was bought by and he was probably the Price families lawyer in town, William 'Bill' Hall and Mary his wife. I don't remember how many children they had. What can add though is Bill would ever year and it's actually tomorrow American Thanksgiving, he would invite quite a few well know people from town and pay for everything and go to the Detroit Lions vs. Whoever; 50yard line seats, breakfast before and dinner after. Well one of the years I went in my uncle's place, Vincent P. Was right there next to Bill. And spent the weekend in his old summer house.

Hello lady-glow,

Your opinion is possible if our house was actually open. When I mean open, "not gated" and surrounded by the neighbor's walls. Here in the Philippines, all houses in a subdivision are close to one another and are only separated by walls and gates.

The only way you'll see a "reflection" from the outside is when you're at the garage. Also, the sunlight was coming from the west side window if you're standing in the kitchen area. Outside that window has a small space for the barbecue grill which is against the neighbor's wall. Also, the window is quite high, if you peek inside the kitchen from that window, only your shoulders and up would be seen from the inside.

Additionally, I did mention that this happened around 3-4 pm, therefore, the sun's light isn't as strong as around 11 am-2 pm. In my previous story "Doll Clowns", I mentioned that my room, my cousin's room, and the stock room all face the kitchen area. Mine was at the middle part of the house.

My room's window also faces a neighbor's wall so reflection from a person isn't possible. My room's door from the kitchen window is around 7-8 meters apart. So, the only way someone's shadow would be seen inside my room is if they actually passed by the room's door.

I would want to show a picture of how the house looks like inside, but we have left that house 11 years ago. I do have some old pictures, but it doesn't capture the whole area.

I just hope this cleared your doubts.

Hi Panini:

Another interesting experience, though, in my opinion, not necessarily a paranormal one.

"During the day, all the room's doors, including the stock room are open for good ventilation throughout the house."

Perhaps this shadow was nothing else than a reflection from the street or from a neighboring house, accidentally producing what is known like "Pepper's ghost effect".

Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost

Given your age at the time, it would have been easy for you to assume that this was a paranormal encounter instead of looking for more logical explanation/s other than asking if the housemaid had entered the house.

I'm not saying that this is what happened, but only suggesting another possibility to take into consideration.

Thanks for sharing.

People are funny creatures. You can send them an email with a list of questions to answer, and get the answer to only 1 question because they don't pay attention.

I'm guilty of this myself. I received a 99% score on this statewide very comprehensive mathematics exam because this 1 question required writing down 2 things, and I forgot to write the second thing on the answer sheet. I noted it on my scrap worksheet provided so the grader knew I had the answer; I just didn't put it where it counted.

For all I know, my high school math teacher is still using me as a bad example. 😁

Lately, we've had many alleged experiences posted to this site. I say alleged because many of them come from misunderstandings of how the human eye actually works; it's like a camera, we're told, but it isn't. Or a misunderstanding how human memory works.

This is why having a journal, and not just for ghostly experiences, is so important. "I wrote it down so I don't have to remember." Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

So, what should happen here? Someone submits an experience, the mods do whatever they do and then approve it for publication. We read it, notice odd or interesting things, ask for clarification. Or for the OP to write down the second part of the answer so we can get a better understanding.

And we do.

But after a certain number of 'pointing things out' or 'asking for clarification', it ceases to be about gathering information. For example, look at the comments from https://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=27710. How we're trying to comprehend how a well decayed skeleton could still be 'articulated'. Apparently, we ended up 'attacking' the OP even though this was not our intention.

For me, there are enough discrepancies with this posting for me to have serious doubts about its truth value. Personally, I have no doubt that DarkDaisy experienced *something*, but I disagree with the interpretation of it as being ghostly. Further, I think it will be hard to attain any deeper understanding of this experience by further questions.

I do have further questions about this, and other stories, but they are more questions for the mods than the posters.

Sounds like a typical sleep paralysis attack to me. Next time when you go to bed, keep a sharp object under your pillow or even better, keep any iron object beneath that pillow if you take one. Also if you do not have something like that, I do not know if you are religious or not, just speak some words of prayer to whatever god you believe in. It helps a lot.

Someone here in comments mentioned about Journal. You can try to write one. I did and it helped a lot. When you put your feelings, thoughts, dreams or goals in words, it helps you to make sense out of it and get you out of that irritated and frustration zone. It helps to vent out even if its in the form of a pen and paper.

Hi Panini18

Sounds to me like it could have been a playful spirit 🤷‍♂️ since you were the only one inside and the crayon was thrown with a force, maybe it wanted to get your attention.

I've recently come to realize that most elders tell kids that if they experience anything, "it's just their imagination" not because they don't believe the kids but rather they don't want them to get scared and upset.

zzsgranny.

Hi, nice to see you around.

Although I could understand, to some degree, forgetting the name of a school, the part that is beyond my comprehension, is that the OP would write down their experiences in a journal and date them in a day in the future.

Isn't the point of a journal/diary to register events when they took place? A "what" and a "when"?

I have been keeping a journal of dreams for several years, any entry is registered under the date from the previous night to the following day, then I write down whatever I remember to have dreamt.

To say something:

"November 20 to 21, 2021

I went on a date with Pierce Brosnan. We had lobster for supper. I was wearing a strapless, flowing blue dress..."

Would it make sense to date this entry "November 20 to 21, 2035"?
Should I expect from everyone not to question the accuracy of my memoirs if they're to be dated years after they were supposed to have happened?

In DarkDaisy's own words: "It was meant to say 2009... In the notebook The date said 2017... (The days are probably wrong as well)."

Are we, as readers, not supposed to point out neither question such discrepancies?
Should a person ignore these dubious facts and assume that the paranormal events within the story really did happen?

My apologies to the OP and to the rest of the community if my words have been harsh but, in my opinion, in order to give any advice or further discuss this story, the OP must first explain the disparity of the dates in her journal, in a satisfactory way.

Thanks to all.

P.S.: I wish I had dreamt with Pierce Brosnan!

Hi all! I think we should probably cut the author a little slack. In their bio they mention that they moved around a lot throughout Ohio and Kentucky during their school years. Having cousins whose father was in the military (5 kids, all born in different states lol) I can understand how one could forget the name of a school.

Interesting experiences, DarkDaisy

Kindly tell me your email add para masend ko sayo yung tagalog version 😁 or just email me here, zarujaz1994 [at] gmail.com

If wala po akong mareceive na email from you, then this is understood that your permission includes my tagalog version of your story 😁

Ofc panini. That is why I'm asking for your permission 😁. Other podcasters would just grab your story and that's the end of it. Not me 😁

Hi lady-glow!

Or it could also come from my set of crayons since I had a lot of broken crayons inside that built-in cabinet. The weird thing was that the broken scarlet crayon still looked new.

All the broken crayons I had collected in a pencil case were dirtied and old because of all the random colors. Paranormal things are really unexplainable 😆.

Hello Zaruje,

Thank you, that seems nice, yes you could use my story for your podcast. But I would like a link for it so that I could also hear it. And just make sure to mention my account name for copyright.

Fascinating.

I wonder if, somewhere, there was a someone whose scarlet crayon disappeared mysteriously.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Stevep74

I would have not spent even one night in a place like that, your experience sounds scary and sad at the same time, I have to agree with [at] Lady-glow perhaps if you know the history of that room it would shed some light on what you experienced, but from your narrative I can guess that it could be a spirit of someone who was depressed and suicidal.

Hi Limey

There are very few incidents that are friendly and it's nice to know that despite all the bad there's a few good spirits out there, I've had my fair share of sleep paralysis however I never experienced any entity near me, I believe that our sixth or intuitive sense knows when something is good or bad.

Hi SaveWater

I believe that what your uncle saw was what is known among Indians and people of Indian origin as a churail, I've heard a few incidents from my mum about how my grandfather and uncle experienced something similar except the lady did not speak and whatever it was would always stand at the same spot.

Hi ClutchCain

I'm not sure exactly what it is however I feel that just burning sage won't be sufficient, I feel that I feel that you should do a home cleansing ritual or maybe get someone who has experience in the spiritual field to do a walk over at your home, they might be able to give you a better understanding of what it is, also there's plenty of good home cleansing rituals on this site.

Also you might want to wear a protective crystal or something that provides a good energy for you.

[at] Ryanlesner111,

Hey, I'm sorry it took me this long to reply. I've forgotten about these things. It's somewhere deep in my memories, locked away, to not be remembered unless required. I changed rooms. I no longer use that room. So, I'm doing better. Things have settled down. Thank you for the information though.

Thank you lady-glow. I'm not sure if our consciousness never sleeps, but I think the bigger questions are who or what were they, and why were they there? And did they do what they came for? And will they be back? To your second point, I believe that it's our vomero-nasal organ (I'm not sure of the spelling) that provides us with our sixth sense. To me, another interesting subject.

Hi
Pinoy here. I would love to read your story sa podcast na ginagawa ko sa youtube. If ok lang sayo, contact me through my email add, zarujaz1994 [at] gmail.com

Hope to hear from you

Hi.
Pinoy here. I'm starting a podcast sa youtube and was wondering if pwede kong basahin ang kwento mo for my playlist of real horror stories. If ok sayo, contact me at this email, zarujaz1994 [at] gmail.com

Thank you and hope to hear from you 😁

Hi.

I would love to use your story for my podcast. So if you don't mind and if you would give your permission, I would translate this to tagalog and read for my podcast 😁

Welcome to YGS.

Wow, what an unnerving experience!

" It was a feeling of desperation and depression that felt off the scale intense."

I wonder if this entity was trying to communicate the feelings they had at some point while staying in that room. I know it is a long shot, but it makes me think of a person contemplating suicide.

Knowing the history of the place and, particularly of that room, could shed some light about the nature of this energy.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Limey.

Interesting experience. I guess our consciousness never sleeps and that's why you were able to sense the nature of those shadows, almost like the way one can decide if a person is "good" or "bad" at a first impression.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dark I would suggest you write your stories on paper first. Then I hope you can find someone to proof read it for you. I have had a pile of eraser dust after every story. I never typed until finding YGS, and my wife pointed out I type stupid? I check this site every day and I don't have to ridicule I just go to the next story... Why haven't they offered to help your story telling, instead of HIGH FIVING EACH OTHER over your YOUNG writing skills. Your next one will be easy reading. Good Luck Out There.

Lady-Glow, while I do agree that parts of this story are problematic, I also think we've reached the point of picking nits rather than reasonably discussing the narrative for being a credible experience.

[at] DarkDaisy_13 yes, even though she meant no harm, I was terrified that night and now I'm paranoid by anklets sounds forever.

Hi there.
I just posted an experience that also happened to me in a room at Warwick uni complex.
I posted it after I read your story. You're definitely not crazy and you didn't dream it!
Stevep74

RCRuskin.

Knowing that I'm not alone when questioning a story has the same value of one positive point, knowing that you agreed with one of my comments, has the wort of 3 little green arrows.

If the date is fictitious, how could one be sure that the narrated events are solid facts and not fabrications?

There's another possibility taking form in my mind. The dates are right, you were around 8 years old BUT realized that one of the submission Guidelines is:

"You must be 13 years or older to publish a story."

Hence you decided to change your date of birth, and your real age is around 12 yo. This theory gets reinforced by the "Something probably is wrong with my brain" "I'm too dumb... My dumb self... My stupidity" tirade trying to justify your mistake.

Furthermore, the way you use "are" instead of "our", suggests some one still working into improveing their grammar... Some one very young:

"I do have a Girlfriend... Haven't gotten are own place"

"noticed a lot of odd things in are science class. I think are teacher noticed it too"

I'm not playing grammar police here, let me make it clear that English is not my first language, and expressing my ideas is not always easy. But when I see mistakes like these done by a native English speaker, well, I cannot help but wonder if they are even aware of them.

Anyway, IF my theory is right, I don't expect you will admit it, If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance. But keep in mind that this confusion is the result of your sloppiness and lack of attention while writing this story.

RCRuskin,
I don't know why either, it never bothers me to explain mistakes or anything.

bi skeptical? BiT skeptical is what I meant to type.

Also, good for admitting imperfections. I don't know why some people think it is a weakness to admit to being imperfect or making mistakes, but that is their mistake, innit?

Karma,
Back when I was 8 I went to a haunted school. Most of the time something odd would happen in the girls bathroom and my gym. By the time I was in 6th grade I noticed a lot of odd things in are science class. I think are teacher noticed it too but rather not interrupt the lesson.

I know how if feels hope you have a good day

TravisCannabis,
I know for a fact that a sprit had nothing to do with this. The house we were living in at the time was fairly new, about 10-20 years old. It's probably around 30 now.
Im pretty sure I was the reason. In the notebook most of the pages were ripped out and the letters were fading away that I could barely see what it said, It did say 2017 and a bunch of random so I just went for it.

Idk bro, maybe a spirit changed the dates on your notebook or maybe you smoked too many doobies, I know what that's like.🤔
😁

Lady-glow,
I obviously made mistakes in the story that I'm too dumb to realize. So I'll clarify somethings:
1. I just now realized that I mixed up the year on the notebook. It was meant to say 2009 but since the notebook was so old and had be torn most of the info was gone (Guess I didn't care for it all that much). In the notebook The date said 2017 (I'm not sure why) and my dumb self though that was the right year (The days are probably wrong as well).
2. I never mentioned the school cause I wasn't sure what it was. I lived in Springfield, Ohio at the time and I think the school was called Rockway? I could be wrong but that is my best guess.

Sorry for the inconvenience for my stupidity.

P.S.: Lady Glow, the site still won't let me upvote you. So please consider your upvotes to be 2 higher than they are. Also stop being sensible so I don't have to upvote you. 😁

DarkDaisy, hope you get a reasonably comprehensive medical exam. I should do the same since there are genetic diseases prevalent in my family tree. Just to make sure.

2009 as a year is more consistent with the chronology you established, but I am still a bi skeptical. Either way, thank you for sharing.

I'm not nitpicking your story and comments but...

"these are things I've noticed at my school that I kept a notebook"

"I just realized I got the year wrong, I think this happened in 2009? I'm not sure"

Didn't you write down the date when recording these...experiences?

I like your writing style, but inconsistencies like these make the reader wonder if this is a piece of fiction that doesn't belong into this forum which is meant for REAL ghost stories.

I've had my fair share of haunted schools, my family has moved multiple times and some of the schools I've gone to creep me out.

RcRuskin,
Something probably is wrong with my brain, I kind of have short-term memory loss but I can remember almost all the details of a week.

Lady-glow,
Sorry I just realized I got the year wrong, I think this happened in 2009? I'm not sure

Hi DarkDaisy_13

For some reason schools tend to have a creepy aura, I have also related a few school experiences I've had on this site, and I've come across many here too and heard about experiences from family and friends.

I have to agree with RCRuskin... Not a good idea to forget the name of ones elementary, or any other, school one has attended.
You will always need to include it in your resume!

I'm confused about your age and the time frame for these experiences.

"basically back when I was around 8 I had lots of paranormal experiences at my Elementary school"

According to your profile, you were born on "February 13, 2001", yet all the events that you have narrated in this story happened during the year 2017, meaning that your age was 16, - were you attending elementary school at age 16?

Fort Stanwix. Francis Bellamy. These are two of the elementary schools I attended 50 years ago. I'm not saying your experiences are falsehoods, but that you can't remember something from 4 years ago gives indications other parts of your memory may not be so good.

Well we haven't shared this incident with our family members and I think that's something was just related to that place. Hope that entities soul rest in peace ✌️

Hi Rajine,

Yes my family has experienced multiple things and at this point I don't think were dealing with 1 spirit.
Yesterday, Sophia reported a child's laughter coming from the window in the dining room. Now I explained hearing a woman scream "help" in the story so I wonder why there was a child's laughter?
We're possibly dealing with two ghosts but I don't want to jump to conclusions yet. Definitely not when me and Alexa noticed that shadow figure.

Hi Panini18

Loved ones who have passed on are always around us even though we can't see them, I'm sure your housemaid was there to say goodbye and that she'll always be around.

Hi DarkDaisy_13

The description of the woods by your house sounds really beautiful, reminds me of a incident that read years ago on this site, do you or your family still experience unusual things around the house? And has this happened prior to you and your sister going to the woods?

If I were you I'd try to research more on the history of the house and surrounding area, my guess is that maybe something happened in those woods or maybe whatever you and your family experienced has something to do with the house.

Hi again Theomniscient

Did you or your friend talk to anyone else about this, maybe family members, I'm sure they would know more about it, perhaps whatever it was could have been attached to the house, maybe find out more on the history of the place, hopefully that should give you a answer.

I guess he wanted to do your dishes?🤔
But the boy was cute, and definitely not a treat of any kinda.

Hi DarkDaisy_13,

Your uncle must have loved you too. I wish ate Saling also said goodbye to me. Eventhough I was 9 years younger than my cousin, I don't get scared that easily.

Hi Bibliothecarius,

You may be right about how they might change appearances to whomever they show themselves to. Fortunately, that was the last time I saw something peculiar.

Oml this must have been terrifying. I gotta say I'd possibly just be scared to figure out about this woman! But she meant no harm (besides the experiences I deal with), so that's good right? But still have to admit that after that night I would be scared to death.

Gotta admit that prank was kind of funny but did get you back, my house is haunted (something I mentioned in my story) so this wouldn't surprise me. But funny story.

A few days ago just for fun I randomly asked the lights in the living room to turn on if there's a ghost. Get this, they turned on! I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to say.

Aww this was sweet, I remember when my great uncle died and I swear I saw him in my room the next day. Its good to know She wanted to say her Last good byes to your cousin.

I actually looked to find the house where all this happened many years later.
I believe the street was partially demolished to build a car park.
I'm mistaken how long we were there.
My mother's recollection is hazy now, alas but she said "We were only there a few days, I used to get up and go over to the cooker and show you, look see, there's no one there".
It's difficult for me to recollect, it really was just a short horrific interlude in a generally happy childhood.

MrsRamsay We seem to have similar sightings. I would like to ask you a few questions off site. E mail me if interested. No worries if you don't.

Yeah you are right it's holy abode of guru Dattatreya. But as our house owner hasn't performed it's pooja for long time it was began to diseased like it's leaves began to fell it's trunk began to get rotten. Soon I am going to post a part two, of it. Well it was last encounter with that thing and after that second incident everything ended completely. May be that thing has just went away bcz, I just don't feel anything or may be I have loosed my pshycic site with the course of time. And it seems like it would be a mystery for rest of my life if you guys can figure out what that entity would be plzz feel free to share it. May be, she had something to say which I wasn't able to figure out.

Hi Cherubim,

Thank you for your thoughts on my last story I posted - I apologize for not replying sooner (work has kept me very busy lately!). Yes, I've often had the feeling, or have speculated, that beings from other dimensions can coexist and share the same spaces we occupy. Regarding any recent activity at my house: I'm happy to report there's been no new incidents since I've done a spiritual house cleansing with help from a colleague of mine. Not really sure if the house cleansing was the real reason behind why the strange happenings stopped, but things seem to have quieted down since then...

Liz and I remain friends, but I've learned to keep anything 'paranormal' to myself. Much like you, I've experienced losing a few friends because of my views, but then that's why I appreciate places like YGS & other sites so much - sharing anonymously has its benefits 😁

Take Care ❤

Audumber tree is the abode of Adiguru Dattatreya and a very sacred tree. If you have seen Guru Dattatreya's pic he is surrounded by four dogs. And those dogs only protected you in your dream. And speciality of Audumber tree is that it grows on its own.

Hello RKirby, that was a crazy story. I don't doubt that Murfreesboro is full of history and spirits. I hope that you have a good supposed system, for your traumatic experiences. Much love. Respect. ❤

Well audumbar trees are considered to be very sacred as the owner of that house use to do regular Pooja of it in the beginning but suddenly they Stopped doing it. And later on no one took care of that trees pooja. May be I have some connection but I don't feel anything now

That was absolutely terrifying. You'd think it was the stuff of movies, but no. It was of good fortune that you were not harmed and then lived to tell the tale. As with everyone here, I also agree that it might have been a malevolent entity. I feel like only such things are capable of what it had done--not residual ghosts.

I would have loved to know the history of that place and why they had kept the cooker. Thank you for sharing! ❤

Hi Theomniscient

I think you may have a entity attached to you, also it's not good to have trees growing right at the entrance of your house as far as I know.

Hi cantunSEEit74

Very interesting incident you experienced, I wonder what it could have been 🤔

Hi GMPembo

That is downright creepy whatever it was is definitely haunting that room, perhaps if you know more about the history of that place it would shed some light on what you experienced. I feel that it's rather the place where the activity usually takes place rather than the cooker itself.

RCRuskin I found hole outside behind siding and filled with foam. Nothing in live trap yet. PIXIE I do feel what ever it was has something to do with my neighbor. Spirit showing off? Family ashes on the mantel? He is X MICRON.

MrsRamsey I lived in a mouse infested single wide mobil 1986 woods and water in Olympia. Mice would come from behind wall heater almost in the middle of my living room and run over to dog food bowl and grab a big piece of dog food and try to run back but it can't see where its going. It would have to set it down look around and try again going in circles and I would laugh my azz off drinking beer and enjoying the show. Sometimes they would just drop it and give up and run back to the heater, I never bothered the mice. I have lots of funny mice stories. There was no wind this day no background noise to speak of. Looking over there all the time now.

Cant,
Isn't it interesting that you happened to be talking about MICE when you see the anomaly? Wonder what that means in light of your mouse with the shield thing? Is there anything else about mice that sticks in your memory? Going way back?

The shimmery thing... I think only you see it. When you started describing it, I was relating because that's what I saw at my daughter's wedding just before her veil was blown up and removed in front of 200 people... Did the air get real quiet or did you notice? The fact that it actually moved in between the two of you WHILE in conversation is wild. I don't think you could make that up if you tried (not that I think you've made up ANY of your stories).

You have a gift. And I think the more you see weird things, the more you recognize them. That's been happening to me as I get older also. I'm now 60. Don't want to think what I'll be seeing when I'm 80!

As regards mice: I definitely concur that we need a more humane way to trap and release. Far away from my home... The mice I had to deal with the last few years seemed to know that sticky thing that the apartment manager put down was Bad. Likewise the snap trap which also caught nothing though it was put in the spot the mouse went most often. Nimble little thing.

Now as far as that weird pixelated shimmery thing. Sounds to me like it was some kind of "alien" tech, in the sense that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I wonder if any of your neighbors work for some R&D think tank type place?

Yes, as annoying as mice can be, there are much more humane ways of trapping them without pain or injury, and then relocating them to a better/more natural environment. They don't deserve this kind of lazy, inhumane treatment...

Yeah that entity was approaching me as soon as she asked me my name the dogs began to bark

Welcome to YGS.

Fever dreams are trippy to be sure. I just want to be sure of a detail. In your dream, you were approached by this spooky figure that asked your name and then dogs barked at it in your dream?

Thanks.

Wow that was a very chilling account. I'm so glad your mother returned before you too became one of her trapped children. I also agree with RCRuskin that this lady is likely not so human but perhaps demonic. Thank you for sharing.

Softie - I feel ya. Not a good way to expire. To be thrown away still alive stuck to that trap is kind of cruel.

Poor little mouse... I hate those sticky traps that kill animals slowly!😠 😭

There does seem to be a correlation between your cotton doll entities and his peculiar visitors. At the time, I speculated that there are beings that can *appear* to be harmless, but with sinister motives and actions that go beyond the superficial physical looks. The advantage to such an appearance is that describing it to an adult would render the child's fear reaction disproportionate to the details. I suspect that such creatures would look very different to any adult who saw them.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.

Quote from Ghostbusters, 1984. No offense was intended but when I first read what happened, it did not strike me as what one usually sees happening with a stove.

I have certainly known mean spirited mother types, so behaviorally, it seems like a thing that could happen. But my intuition and bias thinks that this entity is less human.

Still an interesting experience and thank you for sharing.

Hi Brenda,

I wanted to check in with you to see how you are doing now?
Is this still bothering you?
If I can offer any help or support if you still need it?
I have a few idea's that you could try.

I tried to send you an email but it bounced back and would not send.

I live in Australia and have had some experiences not unlike yours.

Do you have an email I can contact you?

Best wishes
Mike

Hello RKirby, what a fascinating account, thank you for sharing it with this community and welcome to YGS! I do enjoy stories where background research was done to really bring things together. That being said, I am sorry for what you had to go through, alone in many situations, and to be have to have gone through such a violent and intrusive experience, I cannot imagine what it was like. To have lost your home and worse to have your relationship strained to the breaking point and possibly irreparable damage done to your ability to communicate and trust one another. Sharing such a harrowing and intimate account takes great courage as well, so I applaud you for that.

I can offer my own thoughts and observations with some questions as well, for me to better understand what occurred. I believe your account and don't doubt what happened, there are some interesting things to consider in regards to what was uncovered in the spiritual research portion and I believe there's more to what happened than meets the eye.

What were your initial feelings about the house, what drew you to it? The bedroom and bathroom where the attacks took place, where were they situated? The aforementioned closed off upstairs, or the downstairs, and in the new or old section of the house? You mentioned that Alan had stated you pushed for the purchase more than he did and it obviously was a financial strain. Living only a few hours from where this story took place, I can indeed corroborate the abundance of wildlife in the area. I have deer going through my back yard all the time, a possum living under the house, a raccoon perusing my backyard as well as numerous squirrels and birds always about, so for your yard to have NO wildlife whatsoever is indeed highly unusual. Animals are very attuned to energy and spiritual presences especially, so for them to avoid the place like the plague is an obvious indication something was seriously amiss. It's also more than such one rogue spirit that could cause this, and you stated only 2 ghosts were found, even though several people had been murdered on the property.

The furniture blocking the door could be explained easily enough, kids performing the kinds of rituals you described could have blocked it off, to ensure privacy, they probably got in and out as your husband and Scott did, maybe more easily as they were younger and smaller.

Some things don't add up and it's not your personal account that's brings it up. As sensitive as Scott is, he should have been able to 'feel' how evil this spirit was if the animals could sense it and steer clear, then it should have stood out. The reason it didn't is as you said your self, Scott would sense the presence and it would disappear, meaning it could conceal itself and its energy. It also didn't like Scott when he tried to interrogate it, and I believe it's because it's not as it appears, not the boy who seemed to have committed the evil acts. I think it knew that Scott might figure out its true identity.

I believe there is a far more evil spirit involved in this, probably brought about by the early séances by the earlier family and the rituals performed by the cult groups after it was abandoned. The site itself drew those kinds of people and interactions to it, so its spiritual energy roots may go back much further, and may have influenced the events the night of the murders and fires.

If the boy is still there, he isn't acting alone. It may not be him though, what's happened doesn't match a typical haunting. Whatever spirits/ghosts Scott and Leigh contacted may not have been honest about their identities; evil spirits lie in Ouija board sessions all the time.

My reasoning behind this is; 'normal' ghosts (if there is such a thing as normal paranormal) usually seem to draw energy from their environment to even partially manifest and to interact with their environment (which is limited) This entity that attacked you seemed capable of so much more than an ordinary ghost. It drew far more energy, to sustain a prolonged physical attack on you as well as leave some kind of evidence behind of its presence. It had to exert energy to keep your husband unconscious and I suspect was actually drawing much of the energy it needed from him to attack you which is another reason you couldn't wake him up. It was able to turn you and your husband against each other, which it drew energy from as well as the fear it inspired in you. From the bizarre and unusual glare your husband gave you as well as his Jekyll/Hyde transformation after he left the place, it sounds at least like partial possession. This may be what happened to the boy as well.

Ghosts act after death much with the same personalities they had when alive. From your account, the boy only turned evil in the 24 hours or less prior to his death unless he had some previous history of deviant behavior. It seems highly unlikely his parents or the guards would have left him alone to spend time with the prisoners. It also seems unlikely that they could've turned the boy to a life of crime in such a short period of time, since all this took place in less than a full day. Perhaps the prisoners brought some sort of dark entity with them as they had committed a similar crime with another family. I tend to agree with MrsRamsay on many of these same points she made and more.

I don't believe it was the boy that attacked you, (something obviously did, no doubt) or if it was he got quite a supernatural upgrade after he died. If it was him, he had a lot of help. I don't doubt your account or what happened, but I do question the identity of your attacker and the evil set loose on the property. It doesn't add up as to why only the boy and his mother are the only ones left behind out of all the people that died that night. There is also the bizarre obsession this 'thing' had with your wedding rings, hiding them, and then playing with them during the attacks. I also wonder if your intuition regarding not taking that door down may have provided some protection. Perhaps the door provided a sort of barrier, as it seems things picked up after you opened it. It may have had to do with the rituals performed in the house when it was abandoned. I'd hate to think of what would have happened had you removed the door completely.

In either case, at least you're out of there and safe. Perhaps time will heal the wounds between you and your husband. Did Alan ever tell you of anything he experienced while living there after he became more 'himself' after leaving the home? I'm not sure if any of this helps, I apologize for the length of the comment as well, but there's so much to unpack here, it's hard to narrow it down. I look forward to hearing more from you.

I've always been fascinated by doppelganger's mainly because of the fact that it's a "spirit" of a living person it's a phenomenon that I really haven't found any definitive answer to.

A incident regarding a doppelganger also happened at my house years ago and was experienced by my cousin's, I've posted it on here a while ago.
