Ghost stories comments: Page 2

Lost Voyage, I live for this type of thing.

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

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

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

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

Cool stuff!

Tweed

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

blosomes, if I had a dollar for every time some cat has interacted with an invisible something I'd be rolling in dosh. I think it's pretty evident from encounters on here that our pets on the other side pay us a visit from time to time. I know my boy does and I love when I get the sense he's around. I think it's pretty obvious your cat is talking to someone and the odds of it being your other cat seem pretty high.

Manafon, there was, and is since it remains, a misunderstanding.

Welcome Madamjaynie,

Rajine commented about the migrant worker you saw which got me thinking Quote from Rajine:
" I'm guessing bright lights would attract anyone's attention, are you sure that was a migrant worker that you saw or was it something else..."
This reminded me of a UFO show I used to watch, and for some reason keep bringing up on this site 🤔. Well anyway, people who come forward with encounters such as yours sometimes report the abnormal 'normal' behaviour of anyone in the vicinity. As if they hadn't noticed or had their memory wiped if they did notice anything strange. I wonder if it's a form of denial. When presented with the supremely odd some will succumb to denial because it feels like the most rational explanation 'I didn't see anything, I imagined it' or 'Must be a trick of the light, I'm so tired' etc. But with what Rajine said it would be really something if we could go back and ask that worker a thing or two about their experience on that morning.

That show was called Craig Charles: UFO Conspiracies. For anyone interested. The show's formula is lame as lame gets, but the people they talk to are well worth listening to and the information covered is priceless for anyone into this subject. Just a shame they treated it like Red flipping Dwarf.

Thanks for sharing, I know it was many years ago but do you remember the colour of the lights?

RCRuskin - I was only clarifying that orange groves are common in Mesa. You wrote that you found it "less than credible" that there were orange groves there. There was no misunderstanding. Apologies to madamjaynie for getting a bit off-topic.

And there seems to be some big misunderstanding about what I wrote.

Yes, I too would like to hear your description, was it round smaller than a basketball. Was it saucer like. Your sighting was before drones. Was it silent, when you first noticed it was it above your head or near the ground. TV shows have shown us many shapes and sizes. A very interesting encounter and thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to add a bit of clarification about orange groves in Mesa, Arizona, as the confirmation of their existence there is integral to this account. I saw that there were some differing opinions between RCRuskin and CantunSeeit74 about the existence of these orange groves.

It turns out that Mesa is well-known for its oranges. As Mesa grew as a city, houses were often constructed amongst the groves with multiple trees surrounding each home. There is also a unique irrigation system. An online article I found states, "To water the groves, the city uses irrigation systems. These systems are slightly smaller than manholes, have a semi-circle of cement around them, and appear on lawns, median strips, and public parks in Mesa. Depending on the time of year, the irrigation systems begin to bubble water out of them until the area surrounding them is flooded. It then stops pumping, and the trees soak it up."

Arizona, along with California, Florida, and Texas, are "overwhelmingly responsible for citrus production in the United States." I found Madamjaynie's account very interesting, and I hope this info allows readers to focus only on the UFO aspect.

Hey, welcome.
Was it like a glowing active ball? Do you remember if there was any traffics around? Or like something that could reflex some lights?

We need to think of the scientific reason before stepping into paranormals,
So be ready for questions after questions coz people will be asking a lot here 😉

CantunSee, no. That was me knowing that Mesa is in a desert and that citrus trees need a lot of water. Irrigation is a thing I know about, I just find it amazing to get that much water in a desert.

That certainly is a weird thing to experience, it's strange how you were the only one to see it, especially when you say that there was someone else nearby, and at that hour I'm guessing bright lights would attract anyone's attention, are you sure that was a migrant worker that you saw or was it something else...

RC her story is from the 1980s and if you look it up mesa had orange groves, not that hard to find. Was that Your Skeptic, Scientific thinking.

Hi Dreambird, By what you are describing, it sounds like you have experienced what they refer to as a Lucid dream. There are physical dreams or what Edgar Cayce refers to as states of superconsciousness. (most NDE's are on this level)...There are many accounts of people describing seeing their loved ones look younger. My father crossed over at 61 and looked 21 when I saw him outside my room.

My mother crossed over at 69 and looked 40 when I was blessed enough to see her as well... I have also seen them in dreams and yes, our loved ones do visit us in our dreams, I hope my post validates your intuition.

Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to YGS from one of the resident skeptics. This is an interesting read, quite an interesting experience.

There is, however, an aspect of your related experience that I find less than credible, and that is "an orange grove in Mesa, Arizona." Though there is a neighborhood called "The Groves" so it isn't impossible, it just seems off to me, given how much watering citrus trees need.

Thank you for sharing, though.

creepy laughter is one thing, but I don't know why it is worse when its a child's laugh? But it is...

I liked this story and was wondering if I could have permission to share this on my podcast? I'm not sure if you are still active on this platform or not. Fingers crossed:)

Creepy kid ghosts are the worst! Did you take a picture of the marks?

Also, I was wondering, would it be alright if I shared this story on my new podcast? I'm currently compiling some stories for my first season!:)

Hi DreamBird

Indeed a heart-warming incident, I can't begin to imagine having to go through watching a loved one become ill like that, but I hope you take comfort in the fact that your dad is in a good place now, free from bodily and worldly constraints.

Do let us know if your youngest sister does get a visitation from your dad, looking forward to reading about it.

DreamBird, big hugs to you and your dad! ❤

What a beautiful visitation. You were literally visited by ALL of your father. It sounds like he's at peace with all the versions of himself and times during his lifetime which lead to that moment on the bridge.
One thought about his clothing, could it have represented Amsterdam or your trip in general? Perhaps a nod of approval in the form of an outfit.

Thank you for sharing, wishing you and your family all the best. ❤

Oh my...
This makes my eye warm... 😢
Sorry for your lost...
Its happy to know that your father went away happily though.

Sending Love ❤

Can't,

I wonder if the knobs could represent settings? Perhaps they are adjustable. There are evidently triangular ships so maybe the shape is repeated inside the craft as well. Perhaps the aforementioned Barry Littleton has come across similar reports.

The picture of the triangle and knobs is posted below in the comments. Hopefully triangle will be posted with story this year.

ladydarke Thanks, many do not respond. I get it. I just want to get this triangle out there. My name is not needed, it just needs to be seen. If anyone has a thought about the knobs and their odd angles I would like to hear them. I could be way off.

Can't,

I recommend looking up Barry Littleton. He does a lot of work with abductees, through hypnotic regression and coaliting experiences. I think it would help you to discuss your story with someone with this much knowledge. Perhaps he may also be able to connect you with a community of other abductees. It's very clear how distressing these emerging memories are for you. The best relief is likely to be found through being able to access a greater web of stories and experiences that will help you to fill in context and hopefully gain a bigger picture understanding of what happened. Please try to reach out to Barry.

Rajine
Indeed!
Mothers are powerful.
Good example is "Mother Nature".

Hi blosomes
I suppose we should never underestimate the power of a mother, no matter how big or small they may be.

The_Lost_Voyage_11
Thanks for commenting!
Hmm 🤔
Well spiders do have a strange sense that we human will not have for sure. I don't know how they will behave outside of their enclosures but eat of them seems to know where to build their web to get their meals soonest and avoid the misting to wet their web. 😳

Rajine

Indeed they do but I mean would it be that powerful to even take care of their babies? But anyhow I would want to believe that the proud mum wants to make sure her last babies are well taken care of 😉

I do believe that every living being, from the smallest of the biggest have a soul.

I've always believed that our loved ones that have passed on are always looking out for us and are sometimes around us.

That is a strange thing to experience, I wonder what that could be? Some random spirit trying to get a message across?

But on a lighter note, we all have trouble calling in appointments or reservations.

Hello blosomes, interesting tale, thanks for sharing!

To answer your question, yes, there is little doubt about your experience, spiders of all sorts are life incarnate and there is much more to them than meets the eye. It's very probable that this one had life after death just as humans do and explains the babies survival.

I don't typically care for large spiders, but other than the smaller poison ones we look out for, they don't really bother me. I've noticed an intelligence to them, an almost symbiotic relationship with humans and other animals, so this one looking afters its babies beyond death is no surprise but confirms my experiences.

I will illustrate why I believe it so, and fair warning to others as you did in your story, if you're squeamish about spiders, don't read my comment any further.

To explain more, a friend found a tarantula in her home, but it moved out into view and basically waited, and she gently captured it and let it loose outside unharmed. It's as if the tarantula got lost and needed help and knew she would assist it.

I was gone for a time at my home and when I returned, noticed that a smaller spider had woven a web in the corner under my kitchen cabinets. It was a rather large web, but what amazed me, is that it wove it around the toaster. Basically everything was webbed over, but the toaster was still easily accessible, as if it knew.

There's a sentience to them, to all life, regardless of size or species, and it never ceases to amaze me. I applaud you taking care of this spider and it's offspring as I'm sure it knew as well you would!

Tweed
Mexican Red Knees are those much more calmer ones called the bird eaters. Those bandit legs are beautiful 😆 for safety it's not worthy handling them in my opinion though some people there would. They are heavy compared to true spiders, so a fall or two will kill them.
Wow, am I excited to talk about tarantulas for the first time here lol
Yup, I know down the south of the world there are killer spiders hiding around. 😨

blosomes I'm Australian we have to know about spiders lol. But also a couple I know in America have a pet Mexican red knee (?) I think it's called. A colourful tarantula, and some other creepy crawlies. So I know a little about keeping spiders from them.
It's cool your spider's lineage is continued around Japan.

RCRuskin
Oh well, I don't blame you to not read the warning. I do the same thing and end up messing up myself 😜

Tweed
Do you also keep spiders or Ts? You seem to know a lot 😳 yes, this 18 year old sure did went through thin and thick with me I got it when I was still in Brazil than I was forced to bring it to Japan with me, from Japan I brought it a male to start the breeding program, first attempt failed it was nearly eaten by the young male, but it fought back and ate the male instead. The second male it met successfully mated and that's how my interest in Ts started to boost.
It was really a trigger to my new interest, its slings are all around Japan now and all other breeders will tell me how beautifully its babies grew. I am really happy for this proud eight legged mum. Now it has done her last job I will keep her last babies even if other breeders wants to buy them from me (I don't sell any of my Ts, I give them away to responsible breeders)

blosomes this is one of the most bitter sweet stories I've read on here. Good for you taking care of your eight legged brood!

Of course tarantulas are great mothers and care for their young, I've no doubt this would carry on after a spider's passing.
It is really unusual what happened with the babies but spiders are incredible and can survive all kinds of environments, including in a freezer. I'd say these babies are lucky to survive but it's not impossible.
The white shape you saw your first assumption was 'spider', I'd say you're right. You mentioned having a fear of spiders and bad dreams growing up. It takes great courage to confront fears. And here you are making friends with the beings you once feared. It sounds like you've forged a sacred spiritual bond with the spiders. So I've no doubt you saw the spirit of your recently passed on tarantula. Perhaps she was aware there was life on her body and was somehow able to make sure you noticed the next day.

Thanks for sharing.

You were right. Folks like me who are scared of spiders should not have read this experience.:)

Clarification question. You write "Suddenly, my friend who was driving the other car let out a gasp and pointed ahead. We all turned to look, and that's when we saw it - a small figure darting across the road in front of the truck."

You said you all were walking. Was there another truck, or was it one of your groups'?

He pointed ahead, but you all turned around?

Was the figure running in the parking lot, or the cemetery?

Thanks for sharing.

Hi there,
My opinion, the past aways will visit us if we have always been in their mind.
Indeed there are bonds weak and strong and sometimes very complicated... 😢

I used dream a lot about my grandmother, every dreams about her may seem to have meaning and one day I decided to keep a dream note. Those notes would help me solve lots of problems until today. 😉
Why don't you try to keep a note next time, maybe it will solve some of your existing problems.

Spookygirl yes you can use the story if you like to have a good rest of your day

Whats interesting is that my mom has a similar experience, except with our neighbor who was dying of diabetes. Their house caught on fire like a year prior, so my mom took in our neighbors beloved dog. Our neighbor went to live with her daughter in a different part of town, but she was really struggling with her diabetes by this point.

One night, my mom said she woke up to a woman in an old style dress, with buttons down the front, sitting at the edge of her bed next to the dog. She freaked out a bit on the inside. 3 days later, the neighbor had passed. It was almost as if she came back to check on her dog as she was fading out of life.

Much like your grandmother, she too was seen wearing something from her youth. It's crazy.

Hello, Aeropostale.

Paranormal forces that can travel digitally have always been fascinating. Electric devices often pick up spiritual remnants of things that happened in the past. Maybe it picked up something of that sort?

Hi there!
I might have a similar experience dating back... About 30ish years ago?
Back at those time, the phone connections were poor.
I remember once I phoned my uncle from São Paulo to Rio, I heard lots of fuzzes and whispers of other callers... I know, its old and back then it will happen but not like during 2010's when internet and online services are busy, but in some area, people still uses fax and old phone lines, especially Hotels and other public facilities.

Read "Jeepney Ride" by Matthew page 10. This is the story I have referred you about.

Hi, again, Dev: I, more than, can relate to this particular incident of yours.
I work in a Senior Nursing Facility-I posted an account about it, if you care to read it. One of the residents there was a sweet lady named Ruthie. We got rather close in the first 3 years of my working the [at] front desk. She would come to talk to me every time I was working.
However, she began to decline progressively after a year, & a half. She wound up in skilled nursing for a long time. She passed on on one of my days off. I was so upset I went into the employee restroom to cry.
However, later, a new man moved into her apartment. I had to check on him one night as a part of my regular duties. He wasn't home, but there sitting on the couch smiling [at] me was Ruthie. She looked as robust, & healthy as ever. I was overwhelmed, & burst into tears telling her that I missed her, & was so happy to see her. She gave me a big smile, & raised her hand as if to wave to me.
I think that was her way of saying goodbye, & letting me know it was alright if I wasn't there when she passed on, & that she was perfectly alright now. She faded in front of me.
I believe your friend was giving YOU a last recognition, & goodbye before departing for something much better.
This was a lovely, & touching post you submitted, & you're right. We have to love, & cherish those we care about on a regular basis. Appreciate every moment we have in the present. We'll be much better for doing that in the long run! Very good read!

With Good Wishes! 😁 😁

Hi Dev19

I know what you mean, just yesterday I found out that a good friend of mine passed away from an overdose off meds, he was suffering from constant headaches and swelling in his head, he even went for an MRI, but the doctors didn't or couldn't detect anything, I'm still in shock, it's such a tragic thing to happen, we were best friends and I keep recalling our last conversation, he seemed happy, his usual self, he was an amazing person, I'm not sure if it was accidental or not I can't wrap my head around never being able to see and talk to him ever again.

I suppose you seeing his spirit was his way of saying goodbye, life is fleeting and we should always keep the people we care about close to us and communicate with them regularly.

I love your story, Dev19. It's really well written too. I came across it because I'm gathering cemetery ghost stories for a podcast episode. May I share yours? Thank you for considering.:)

Hello, Seekings

Thank you for the kind words and sympathy.

The river is the Padma River, and it's the most culturally, ecologically and spiritually significant river in all of South Asia. I'd say it'd have more than a few spirits attached to it.

I wasn't really in the deep river with my boat, per se. The river island we lived on went under the water seasonally during the monsoon season. The place I was traversing had been dry land a few weeks ago. Even as I was taking my boat through it, you could see tips of shrubbery and bamboo bushes sticking out over water.

During the monsoon, the whole of the island goes under water and the house that I was living in was surrounded by running water from all sides as well. The only reason we didn't have water standing inside the house was because it was raised on stilts.

Our housekeeper was also from the fifty-person village that had been living on the island for a while, though she wasn't welcome there anymore. Because after her husband was gone, some local men kicked her out of her house, took it over and pressured her to leave the village, stating that a young woman without a male partner would be bad for the community. That's why she had nowhere to go back to.

Maybe there's some history to those people. But she didn't know much about that either. She told me they were just homeless people who latched onto new land when it popped up.

Thank you for your opinion. It's given me much to think about.

It is accustomed to Philippine folklore and beliefs that it is a very bad omen when you see someone you know headless. There are several stories from this page also where they saw their families or friends headless. It is usually a sign of an impending doom. I have research ways to counter it. I was able to know that when you dreamt of someone headless you need to put a hat on them as soon as possible to counter the curse. There is one particular story here I forgot the title but the contents of that story is same with yours the only difference is the one who saw someone headless
is the one who died. So that made me realize that seeing someone headless is not just a warning for the one who is headless but also for the one who saw it. BTW, that story is about a girl and a jeepney driver.

Hi Neandarthunder,

Maybe the river which produced this island over many years has a guardian spirit, or an elemental, and the emergence of the island and the subsequent human presence over time triggered a defensive response from it. It's interesting that it seemed to have an actual physical presence when you were in the boat on the river, maybe close to its source of energy. You say that it seemed to be able to influence animals (buffalo, ants and snake incidents) , another reason I'm wondering about it being a type of elemental nature spirit.
It's strange that it seemed not to target your grandparents, the original builders and occupiers of the land, but picked the housekeeper and you instead.
A very interesting account, but very disturbing for you and deeply so for the poor housekeeper!

A bit funny comment... Pls read

It must be like that the nun got perhaps angry just because you hid that cane which she might have used... Every panoramal activity has some connection

Hi Dev, I wondered the same thing as Neandarthunder about what the planets were up to during that day. It's odd that it happened just on that one day. Maybe weird things have always happened there and you and your coworker happened to notice that day.
I love reading stuff like this and hope you're glad of the experience. Definitely out of the norm.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Rajine.

Thank you for commenting. The Land has been there for the last thirty years or so. Before that, there was water there. It's a river island. It is formed through silt deposit over a long period of time. Our rivers are ever shifting. I can't find any account of there being a land here before there was a river. There might've been, but there's no recorded history of it, so such an idea that it could be laying long dormant cannot be discarded.

My grandfather built the house 2013 because the land was cheap and the ruling party was trying to find a way to pin some stuff on him so he was trying to escape.

As for the entity, it certainly felt like something that was hateful and very set on eroding away someone's sanity. If it was human or fully inhumane, I cannot tell. Sometimes it felt like an animal watching me (the thing on the boat with me) and sometimes it felt like a human trying to say something (the invisible touches).

Thanks for reading, and sharing your opinions. Peace ~❤

You are so welcomed, Cant. Always happy to help out when I can.

Rajine
Other entities 🤔
Perhaps so... But I haven't heard of any strange stories yet, other then the spirits of the soldiers... Yes, maybe there are curses and other spiritual activities 🤔 not sure yet.

That is a creepy enough experience, a few possibilities I think it could be a random passing by spirit, or the land does infant hold more secrets than anyone knows, something must have happened there a long time ago.

This seems more technical than a normal ghostly incident, I wonder what these visions mean...

Hi Neandarthunder

The building may be relatively new but land has been there since forever, so I don't think land can be new in that sense, what I've read seems more like a malevolent entity rather than a random spirit haunting a place.

I've read this a lot, Places that have experienced violence and lots of bloodshed seem to attract evil and otherworldly entities, and considering Bangladeshs bloody history of wars and massacres it's no wonder that there's probably a few malevolent, evil beings lurking about and wreaking havoc.

Hi blosomes

Perhaps it was another spirit, not an IJA soldier, that place seems to have a lot of history and apart from soldiers I would think over the years there's other entities there as well.

Val you went above and beyond, Thank you so much. Xoxoxoxoxo.

Have a look at some of the clothing, head gear and uniforms from the times of Cromwell in your country. There you'll find your "cowboy."

https://www.imghippo.com/i/t3rnQ1723990500.jpg#google_vignette

URL for Cant's triangle.

It sounds like for some stretch of time; the grocery store had become some sort of spirit nexus point. It wouldn't hurt to know the date and time of the incident to see if some sort of astrological planetary harmony influenced this. You're lucky nothing particularly evil seemed to have gotten on board.

Hello, Tweed.

Thank you for the kind words. I've had a lot of theories come my way when discussing this with people. One of the more prominent ones has been that the entity/entities attached to me or my grandparents, and somehow saw the housekeeper as a threat. Another was what you mentioned, she might've caught the eye of something bad at her vulnerable moment.

I'd like to call this a poltergeist but one thing I noted was that at some points the entities seemed to have a physical presence. Like the time that thing tipped the chair. That thing that climbed onto my boat moved the boat with its weight. There was some shoving.

But at some points, it was more ethereal. Shadow people. Invisible touches. Nightmares and sleepwalking. Disembodied voices. Intense feelings of paranoia and wrongness.

But then again, it seemed to be able to direct animals to do things. Ants being in only the Housekeeper's food. There were many incidents with snakes and one with a buffalo. I don't want to share them because I was explicitly asked not to.

I think it's worth noting that nothing ever happened to my grandparents. Things happened even in their vicinity, but never to them or to harm them.

I'd like to think her luck's finally picking up since I last saw her, but I have no way of knowing.

No I don't work there anymore so there is a cemetery about a mile down the road I head it reached all the way where the store sits today and they moved the bodies to put in a neighborhood and the store

Cant, I think what may be easiest on you and the wife, is to email me the picture and I'll post a link to it? Valkricry [at] hotmail.com

Val can you send info how or if She can still add the picture. It is nothing without that triangle. SHE will have to try.

Hi Cant, An URL is just a web address. It's displayed in the address bar at the top of a web browser.
Sent pictures do not come to me, but to the webmaster. Like Tweed pointed out, it can be quite the while for pictures to be posted.
But if you're content to wait... 😊

Hi, Dev19: Do you still work there? What could have been there 'before' the grocery store?
I am aware that Arizona has a turbulent history going back to the Pioneer days. It might behoove you to research it if you're really curious. This was a short, but very good read. Thank you for submitting it!

The Best to You! 😁 😁

When I reach the spirit world a grocery store would be a great place to hang out. How many people will never see those spirits.

I know seemed a little complicated we do not want to open an acct on a web site, URL we have no idea what that means. Will have to wait.

Tweed
Thanks for commenting!
Well grey clothing is nothing special but what I saw were grey coat which reminded me of old Japanese soldiers...
That day was a stuffy day which wearing a coat high up the mountain is suicidal 😨 color did not matter in that case.

Hi Can't,

You're not alone in encounters like these. I used to watch a show about this topic and triangle shapes are commonly reported. Same as you there are others who remember being in a sterile location. It's very scary but ultimately nothing bad happens to people. I'd like to think that's a sign of some kind of civilised community checking in on us in a similar way to how we document and research animals in our environment.

On an unrelated note keep hugging trees! I believe they remember us and recognise our appreciation of them.
Not sure if it's still the case but pictures on here sometimes take a long time to get posted. I like to use a photo sharing site to share pictures instantly in the comments etc. Wanted to mention this because sometimes people think their pictures have been rejected but it's never the case, it just takes a while sometimes. I think I know the kind of triangle you mean as I think I've seen it, or something like it, on that UFO show I used to watch. There's also a triangle shaped craft which has been caught on camera, verified footage not someone's hoax. Things are different now compared to the 90's, people are way more open to discuss their experiences with the unknown and that's always a good thing.

Hi Neandarthunder,

Sorry this happened, bad haunts are truly awful. As for why it happened it really sounds like it was attached to your housekeeper and not the area. Unfortunately sometimes when people are going through a rough time and especially when someone feels vulnerable it can attract some really horrible entities. I hope she's doing better with this and her life in general. As for why it was on the boat with you, I just don't know. But my overall feeling about what you shared was that it was either brought in with your housekeeper or her situation lured it. Not her fault, it was no one's fault. I like to think karma takes care of situations like these.

Thanks for sharing, sorry it happened.

Hi blosomes, it's hard to say either way who you saw down there. This reminds me of another encounter on here from, I think it was India, years back. Someone saw someone in an area where visitors don't go wearing clothing that didn't make much sense (don't remember why). This was on or near a bridge in a popular tourist location. Influencers are another reason you might find someone where they shouldn't go. 🙄 Much rather it be a ghost than an influencer any day. Fingers crossed it was a ghost.
Does grey clothing have any significance?

RCRuskin
Non-zero chance... 🤔
Well the hiking area itself when opened connects to the area where the statue and the tomb stones are but where we can see is the area away from the tomb stones... It's hard to explain but there is a museum? Or is it an information center? Which it explains that the incident happened at the area which is very hard to access thous tourist area were not able to be built at that exact area... 🙄 I know kind of confusing and yes it could be anything so it is hard to judge...

Thanks Val we will wait for Webmaster to post picture. I hope you got the picture.

I would say there is a non-zero chance you saw the ghost/echo of one of the soldiers. I would need to look up more about the incident and the park to be able to say more.

I've heard of something like this before. Maybe children require and demand affection even beyond the grave, however terrifying that may be for us.

I don't think that "ghosts" or spirits that were once human would be that vengeful to cause physical harm, I may be corrected, but that's just my view. Perhaps it was something else, something malevolent.

Spirits or ghosts can be happy, sad, angry etc...

The other night I was up late watching weird and creepy things caught on doorbell cameras on YouTube, I can safely add this to my list of creepy doorbell camera incidents, however I'd rather take a chance with a ghost then some of the weird people that I've watched 😅

I must say, it's a very well written incident, cemeteries naturally will have paranormal activity, seems like you and your friends were tempting fate and fate delivered...

Cant - I sent you an email (YGS) about your submission:) Be on the lookout for it.

Allow me to welcome you to YGS, also. This was an interesting account. However, I have always been of the opinion to show the utmost respect when entering a cemetery. I've never accepted any dares to enter one [at] night-time. If I do go to one, I offer my respects aloud, & just inform them that I am there to visit with a loved one, & not to disturb anyone else. Seriously, I do.
If you get the chance, please read 'my' account of what happened to my dear late husband back when he was young-Larry looking for trouble, & finding it. Click on my name, & it'll bring up all the posts I've submitted. It 'may' help you to understand what happened to you, & your friends that night.
I'm not finding fault with you. Please don't misunderstand me. We 'all' have made mistakes. I have made my fair share, I assure you. However, that account may give you a better understanding of how to behave in a cemetery. The spirits are aware of our presence, & they 'know' the reason we come into them. If it's for the wrong reason, they will let you know about it, & it may not be in a way that you'll like.
I'm just giving you some friendly advice gleaned from my many years of experience with paranormal events. I surely hope this helps you in some small way. It was a very good read!

Take Care! ❤ ❤

Rebelmama,

You've come to the right place, no one here will think you're crazy. I think it's really cool that you acknowledge they're both still around you and I'm sure it means to world to them too. ❤

Jubeele, I'll probably always be in two minds about the photos being reflected sun or something more. If it wasn't for a spiritual connection to the place and everything else, the voice, the flying fox, I think I would've dismissed it altogether. In reading peoples experiences on here over the years one big repeated theme is that there are always signs around us from the other side it's only a matter of perspective and there's something really special and comforting in that.

Thanks for the link, the info on that page is really resonating with me. I always warn people not to touch flying foxes if they find one in the wild, because of a strain of rabies they carry in Australia. Never thought I'd have a spiritual connection to them, but maybe a connection has been forged over years warning people not to touch them lol.

I thought the message about the other path was a kind of blessing too. Before I reached the top of the final hill, where the sun was visible, I stopped to finish the water I had. When I stopped there was an intense pink or red light bouncing off everything but I couldn't see the sunset or the sky properly from where I was. Only a few meters ahead did I see the weird/wonderful sunset. Might have missed the full display while I was taking a breather, doh! I'm thankful for whatever it was I saw, it made the sun look black for a couple of seconds then it was gone. Really cool stuff, will never forget it.

Regarding the strobe light effect, where the being flashes in and out of your vision; I have heard of that. It was from a man who could see his Native American girlfriend walking along a river while having a conversation with a Sasquatch person. Of course his girlfriend could clearly see & hear the Sasquatch, but he could only see the Sasquatch in the strobe effect - flashing in and out as you saw your entity. This man felt it had to do with that being's frequency or vibration and his own ability to tap into that vibration. He said his girlfriend was very spiritual, which he felt was the reason she could interact so well with the Sasquatch person.

The glowing red eye thing... That is sometimes seen in Sasquatch, Dogman, other beings, but the theory is these beings may have the ability to see in the infrared light spectrum - and that is why their eyes appear red. Which is why trail cameras don't catch these beings... They can literally see the infrared lights on the trail cams glowing from miles away, and thereby avoid them.

You said you were distraught and having a bad day when the black winged creatures came toward you - be careful of your thoughts. Focus on love and gratitude and keep your vibration high so the lower vibration beings aren't drawn to you.

Hi Tweed,

You've painted such vivid scenes, bringing us right into the heart of your experience. I'm no expert on photography, and I've no idea about that ball of light. I'd have mistaken it for the afternoon sun.

But many cultures believe in protector deities and nature spirits. I feel that the land has its special awareness, a type of 'earth sense' derived from all living things, and once we set up roots in any place, calling it home, we belong to the land. It could be that the land recognises your connection to it, even after all this time.

I had the sense that the intent of the voice to take another path was to give you a blessing. To let you have a glimpse of the aurora, something special to lift your heart.

The flying fox is interesting. I found that the symbolism for it is: "caring for others and creating a sense of community and belonging". Maybe you had a special "welcome home".

This is an amazing and scary visitation. A dead guy is carrying a flashlight that actually is working and throwing light and it's coming at you. And finally standing over you, and one has a knife. I do not think you will ever forget this night. WOW

it looked like a little kid running in front of us the cemetery is in a small town it was I'm the middle of nowhere you could see miles around you there was no place for a big animal to hid thanks for asking

Welcome to YGS.

It seems like you guys were a little worked up with anticipation even before reaching the cemetery.

Years ago I went to a nature park in a city in southern Mexico, there were some local animals roaming freely in the forest and some others in enclosures.
At some point I felt watched and in danger, I turned around and saw no one but the feeling of uneasiness only grew more intense.
I turned around scanning slowly my surroundings and sure enough, there was a full grown jaguar few meters behind me crouched as if ready to pounce on my back!
Fortunately, at least for me, the jaguar was in an enclosure.

My point is, are you sure there was no living being watching you? Perhaps a nocturnal animal?

Can you elaborate more on the "small figure darting across the road in front of the truck."? Was it a human shape?
Did this happen within the cemetery's area or outside it?

I'm sure most graveyards have one, or more, resident ghosts. In the case of children ghosts, perhaps they remain earthbound because they were too young at the moment of their passing as to realize that they should move on, and stay in the cemetery because that's the last place where they saw their loved ones.

Was your experience consistent with the rumours about the hauntings taking place in this cemetery or different people have reported different events?

I hope you don't mind all my questions. Thanks for sharing.

Bienvenid [at] a YGS.

Hola Angel.

That sure was an unnerving and puzzling experience. Personally, I don't think these figures were trying to kill you, though they definitely seemed to have been curious about you.

Do you know if any other family member, specially your abuelito, ever had a paranormal encounter in that house?
In my opinion, since your grandfather's death had been so recent, it's possible that he was still around and the knife and flash light might have been important/symbolic during an event in his life.

I'm glad your dad took you to his room even if he didn't necessarily believed what you saw.

Do you remember if you covered your mouth during the time these events took place? Would it be possible that the marks on your cheek were those of your own fingers?
By this I'm not denying your experience but only trying to think of some possible logical explanation for these marks.

Thanks for sharing.

The Devil's Den is, IMHO, one of the scariest places on the entire Gettysburg battlefield. I've had more than a few unsettling encounters there.

I've felt the "heaviness" you described. It was near the Devil's Den and felt like someone had slung their arm over my shoulder. It only lasted for a few seconds, but seriously gave me the shivers.

I would rather eat a truck load of Kryptonite than walk through a cemetery in the dark. Are you a Ghost Writer, Ha Ha see what I did there. Sorry, anyway seems like you are reading it to me. You are a good writer, storyteller for a young adult. Your wording makes you wise beyond your young adult years. For the hundreds of cemetery visit in the dark gone wrong TV shows 4 basics to follow. Do not stand on top of a grave. No laughing out loud. Touch nothing and Do Not urinate in the cemetery. Walk through a cemetery with your stomach and your heart. Spirits can read your mind. Thanks for sharing.

Kent
Thanks for coming back!
And... Well ZashikiWarashi is a Japanese myth really, original maybe some hidden children when back in the time people are chased to pay tax according to each person in the household.
I have heard lots about stories related to banyan trees too. Some are quite creepy. 🤔

Loved ones that have passed on are always looking out for us, it's something I've believed in since my dad passed away over 2 decades ago, you will get little telltale signs, just their way of letting you know that they are around, watching and guiding you.

I don't think that "ghost" you saw was actually a ghost, I stand to be corrected, but in my entire history of paranormal experiences I haven't seen a red eye ghost, perhaps it was something else, not necessarily a demon, but something otherworldly, malevolent. There are a lot of other evil beings out there.

I also had wondered if my see through black stick figure had something to do with a fire. Something to look for around fire stations.

I need to find a Sashiki-warashi and hope he likes me so I'll be wealthy Blossome.

I have been told by a few people I look like Rick Springfield. I had to google him. Maybe if Sashiki-warashi likes me enough I could request looking like a modern day heart throb like Tom Cruise. (⁠*⁠_⁠*⁠)

All these Banyan tree myths are becoming very commonly told. I have read a couple just recently and that's why yours caught my eye.

It will be interesting to find out what is actually going on. I'll keep an eye out on the comments here to see what others think.

Cheers,

I wonder where they got their strength to be outside in the daylight. I had a see-through black stick figure walk through my Livingroom. But mine was almost complete skeleton except no rib bones. Skull and eye sockets, feet and hand bones were there it was all black and see through maybe over 5 ft tall. At one point it was less than 10 ft from me skull looking at me and it turned and headed down my hall back to the mirrored hallway in our bedroom. It did not even care about me it just wanted to get back to the portal mirrors. You should not acknowledge them they may follow you home. Are they loitering in an area of addictions. The face you described sounds like addiction demons, and they attach to you when you pass and torment you in death. Down the road in my neighborhood a truck has the Church of Satan sticker on his bumper, and I disliked walking on that side of the street. Nothing good happens playing with negative energy.
