Ghost stories comments: Page 3

Sounds like some kind of guardian if the boy is paranormal. Does blue hold any significance for you? Was everything still in your wallet? Would there be any security footage of the front desk area where your wallet was handed in? I ask a lot of questions!

Very interesting experience blosomes!

Please keep us posted so we can figure out if the Boy in Blue followed you. (Did not mean for that to rhyme. Anyhow...)

One-off events don't convince me much. However, this did happen as you say. So it must be the boy came to at least visit you.

Hi we loved this story I was very close with my Nan. Do you mind if we share your story on our podcast? We would obviously credit you

Hey this literally sent shivers down my spine, would you mind if we featured your story in our podcast?

This is a really interesting read. Would you mind if we told your story on our podcast?

lol Lady Glow well I may have an update already.

Replying on phone sorry if this turns out unreadable
I've been streaming movies on the SBS on demand thing we have here. Last night and the night before there was a loud beep through the speakers while the film was playing. Both nights it happened once during both films. Movie sounds still present but a loud beeeeeep for about two seconds over the top, kind of drowning out the film sound.
Tuesday I watched Fargo (original movie) no beep.
Also Tuesday watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape. No beep.
Wednesday Kill Bill vol 1 one loud beep.
Thursday Kill Bill vol 2 another loud beep.
Tonight I didn't stream anything. Not because of beeps just wanted to sort through some books instead. If anyone in Aussie is streaming Kill Bill on SBS and recieving a loud beep please let me know. Otherwise maybe someone's trying to say hello. Don't know 🤷‍♀️.

Hi Tweed.

Don't take me wrong, but I hope your house is haunted, that way we will be reading more of your always interesting, entertaining, well written and wonderful experiences!

Perhaps the spirit was aware of your sensitivity from the very first time you enter their space and was trying to get your attention.

Great read. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a little bit confused. First you say the knocking came from outside your window, but then you say, "Beside the window, or rather, a little in front of it, was a girl with long, dripping wet, black hair cascading down her face and body, basically hiding all of her from how long it was. She was wearing this worn-out white dress that ended on the floor." If she was outside your window tapping, how did you see how long her dress was? Am I missing something?

Sign Me Up: Did that ever happen before? You mentioned that your family has been going there for 5 years now. It seems rather strange that this would occur now, & not previously.
I agree with Rajine that it could've been a passing spirit. I hope that you do not encounter it again. If you do, try to remain a little calmer. I know. Easier said than done. Let it know that you are not a threat to it, but would prefer it go away to it's loved ones that are waiting for it. Gently persuade it. I'm not guaranteeing this will resolve it, but sometimes, a gentle persuasion is what it may need to hear. She may have been confused, or even asking for help. Who knows!
Good post, & I hope we've been even a little bit helpful!

Take Care!
😊 😁

Can't, the best answer I can give you is I'm really not sure. It all depends on the encounter and the elements surrounding it. Strictly speaking, is it a ghost story? Probably not. But does it fall under the category of paranormal? Absolutely. I say send it on in, and I'll see if it works?

Val Are UFO stories accepted. Under spiritual encounter?XOXOXOXOXOXO

Hello Granpaul,

Scary stuff.

Limey has some good questions.

Are you still around? It's been a few weeks since this post was published, but I was wondering what's going on there now with the new residents.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Tweed, Linjahaha here! I enjoyed your narrative, & am glad, for your sake, that it appears to be harmless. Hope it stays that way for you.
I'm glad that you read my account about the new rental house with a ghost. The landlord never acknowledged to the young couple that there was any paranormal activity going on, but I believe that he was well aware of it to begin with. The rent was extremely reasonable for such a lovely house. That was the initial warning sign. Caveat emptor-Buyer beware. A truer word was never spoke. However, it did all work for for them in the long run. I really hope that all goes very well for you in your new home. Please, keep us posted. Once again, a good read!

Take Care! 😆 😁

Hi StarBird,

Sorry this is happening it sounds very creepy. However these red eyed beings have been freaking people out for years and years. Honestly if you click around on this site you're bound to find loads of other experiences similar to yours. Good news is nothing bad ever happens to the people experiencing them. They seem to want to observe but that's all. Personally I feel they're nature spirits, some kind of guardian of wooded areas. You'd be surprised how often people see them in rural or garden settings. Most of the time people call them shadow entities or shadow beings or shadow people. They're often reported as tall, with long 'shadowed' bodies and red glowing eyes. I saw something like this a few years ago I would describe what I saw as having a dark 'smoke' like body and slightly glowing red eyes, not super bright like others have described. This entity was inside my home. But I wasn't freaked out. (I'm a bit of an oddball like that.) What was curious about my encounter was the face of the being started to morph into that of old teacher. Said teacher passed away about a year after my encounter. My feeling about that was this entity was trying to tell me this person was ill and that I should contact them before its too late. But I made that connection years after the fact. I believe the entity entered my home because it was aware I talk to the trees it was connected to. (I'm an oddball remember)

I don't know what the entity in your area is up to but maybe it mimics your movements because its curious you can see it. I got the impression from my experience that eye contact is their strongest form of communication with us. As Twilight says as long as you're cool with nature your red eyed being should be cool with you.

I suppose even resident spirits are concerned about who will be roommates with them, from the looks of it 😅, but I'm glad that everything seems to be calming down.

Hi Sign_Me_up

Have you ever experienced anything after this incident? If not then perhaps it was a passing spirit, certain entities feed of people's fear, as hard as it is in such situations, try not to show fear.

Hi H0ph4t,

Sounds like some kind of thought-form, not a nice one though. I got the impression it saying 'GET THEM OUT' was this thing begging your dad to get the spirits doing the banging out, not that it was doing the banging itself. Trust your father's instincts about this entity. Whoever was doing the banging might have been attempting to get rid of the thing your dad saw.
Keep yourselves and your home cleansed and shielded. The theatre, being a large venue filled with many different energies, will be harder to cleanse and shield by yourselves. I suggest your family get as many open minded folk as you can muster to do a group cleansing of the theatre. It sounds like this entity has been dwelling for a while so you might need to do a few group cleansings to disperse the negativity and restore calm. Make a note of the date this happened. It might be activated or stronger at this time of year. It would be great if your father could communicate with the children spirits. But perhaps right now isn't the best time to do this. Sorry this has happened, don't let it get in the way of your youth theatre school, that sounds like a heap of fun!

Rajine, definitely a bit more than I bargained for lol. I think they're pretty harmless whoever they are. Things seem a lot more settled so far, paranormal speaking at least. These ghost/s might have been concerned about who was going to be living here and decided to act up.

Twilight, I love the thought of someone sighing because they were fed up I wouldn't take them seriously lol that's a really cool theory and makes a lot of sense. It's very possible they were trying to warn me of a couple of serious faults with the place. Which brings me to an update of sorts. This week it rained really hard here and the freaking roof leaked all over my recording equipment. To say I'm angry is putting it mildly. I put the estate agent on blast for this. The other little chestnut unearthed was when the electrician said the place has no darn safety switch. Which the estate agent said they hadn't received the report for. Estate agent put on blast for a second time. Safety switch was installed today and the roof is being fixed as soon as the weather dries up. I can't believe the landlady and her family who lived here before me didn't know about the leak because it's HUGE. All the rain from the other day has pealed off what looks like a cheap patch job of wallpaper over old water marks. It leaked from the light bulb, the roof and the wall in one room creating a pond on the floor. Unfortunately I didn't know until after it had been raining super hard for about six hours on my desk with my expensive kit on it. Such is the state of renting in these modern times. A lot of sharks out there. Ghosts I don't mind. It's the living I can do without. On a lighter note it's really cool to be here again. So maybe said ghost/s were trying to warn me of the faults? Don't know, that'd be nice though.

AussieRedDog: Wow! This is a good account of a spirit that is probably completely unaware that he is 1-not living, & 2-going on with a routine that was significant to him when he was around.
There is a 3rd, & 4th possibility: 3-It is a residual haunting just playing out like a loop on a tape recorder, or 4-He may be hoping someone will figure out who killed him to give him some justice.
Nothing etched in stone here, but just some possibilities to consider. It's interesting what you discovered regarding the event that took place there in the past. Quite interesting that you learned some background about the area.
This was a very interesting read, & I love your Aussie slang. Honest!

Take Care! 😊 😁

Native Americans in your area have all the answers to your outside visitor. But you have to do the footwork. Some worry about attachment just by mentioning its name. Good luck

StarBird, it sounds like what you experience within your home, isn't related to what is going on outside of your home (which again, is like my experience, as we have activity in our home as well, but it's not what I experienced, the night I encountered what was outside our house). I'm still going to lean more onto it possibly being something elemental, that you're experiencing outside. I don't really know what all attracts something of that nature, to our yard, but I have a pretty good idea what attracted mine, at the time I experienced it. Have you done anything outside, that may be something that isn't exactly respectful towards nature or something? For me, as silly as it sounds, the only thing I knew I was doing then, that might have angered an elemental, was me hating all the spider's we have around our house, to where I would go out my way, just to destroy their webs etc, and I'm ashamed to admit now, I was really enjoying doing so, to where I would make a game of it, and like I said, was destroying one's that weren't even in my way. Without going into further details on my part, I realize now how childish it was of me, to behave that way towards nature, and I'd say I definitely learned my lesson, as what all happened to me during that time, made it very clear that something wasn't happy with me, and how I was treating spider's. Now I am very respectful of nature, even if I am afraid of some of it. Once I realized the problem though, and apologized, it stopped, and I no longer experienced any of what I had, afterwards. I still feel thing's outside some night's, watching from our woods, but nothing like I did the night I ran in fear, into my house, with who I believe was my spirit guide, screaming in my head, to run now. Sorry for such a lengthy comment, but like I was saying, if you possibly have offended something, it might be causing your siting outside, otherwise, I don't know what else may cause an elemental, to show itself, and keep trying to scare you like it has. Then again, it could also be something else entirely, I'm just suggesting this as 1 of many possibilities.

To Twilight1011, yes I've always heard stuff in the house, since I was like a little child. Footsteps up and down the hallway, tapping on the walls, footsteps in our attic which is the weirdest one since we have no flooring up there, it's jut insulation and beams, and the only way into it is like a tiny hole about a foot wide by maybe a foot and a half long?

You just push up on the board and it pops open and you crawl in, no one goes up there though because it USED to be in a closet before the home was remodeled years ago. Now it's literally just right above the tv in what's now the living room.

The noises INSIDE the house don't bother me, they never really have. I could just literally ask it to stop and it will, it's the stuff OUTSIDE the house that freaks me out. Mainly again, those red eyes.

To Rajine, we aren't getting another dog. Our last dog passed last winter and he got sick out of nowhere and just... It was a horrible experience, nothing we did seemed to help him and the day we went to take him to the vet, he had already passed sometime earlier that night before morning so we... Don't really want to get another dog after that.

To CantunSEEit74, we don't get deer in our yard. Turkeys? Yea, had some out back the other week even. Deer? No, not in the yard. We have an apple tree on the property, if they want apples, they are more than welcome to help themselves. I don't mess with Native American anything. My grandad on my dads side said we had Blackfoot Indian way back in our family line, but it was all word of mouth so we have no idea if it's true or not. I went digging for info a number of years ago to see if it was true, didn't have the best time with that so yea no, I don't mess with that stuff anymore.

StarBird, welcome to YGS ☺ As for my opinion of your experience, I couldn't help but think of a somewhat, similar experience I had posted here, called "An evil presence outside". Which I've come to believe was a type of elemental. It makes me wonder if that's possibly what you're experiencing as well. With what I've read so far, that you've mentioned of this, I'm a little confused on this detail, so are you saying that you're also experiencing thing's inside of your home, as well as outside, or is it just outside that's the problem?

I can't help but wonder, if the possible sigh, you might have heard, when trying to leave your new home, after you was going through it, and had heard the bangs, if you had actually indeed heard a sigh, that wasn't from you, I'm curious if it was whatever is there, either getting upset that they had failed to get your attention the way they were wanting, or if it was a possible warning of some kind, that a ghost may have been trying to warn you of. I think it's possibly more of my first thought, of it trying to get your attention for whatever reason, verses a warning, well, I hope at least. From what you described so far, it hasn't came off negative really, so it's possible it may have just been excited to have new people moving in, and wanting some attention. I'm very interested in learning how your new home goes for you, and can't wait to be updated on it. I'm happy you were able to find somewhere in your hometown area, to live, within the time frame you had though. Thank you for sharing your new experience in your new home, and hopefully with any updates you may have, it'll be more of the harmless nature, and nothing too negative.

It seems these visitations happened on the same property. If this is true, I would put apples on the back side of the trees 9 ft up where red eyes see's first. A peace offering and if it eats apples praying will probably not help if it is born from the land or a native spirit. A piece of twine jammed through an apple with a screwdriver and just knotted a few times will be an easy pull down. I have seen deer standing on their back legs head in the apple tree so 9 ft is safe. At 5 ft you need a ladder. Could be an ugly bigfoot cousin.

Hi StarBird

Take it from me, if you've read any of my stories on here, praying might feel like it's not working, but trust me it is, I know it's hard but don't show fear, it's easy for people to give advice, but only few of us have been through crazy incidents to know exactly what it feels like, as long as you have faith nothing bad will happen to you, I suggest that you get another dog as well.

I did that the first time? Told my gran back then and she gave me a bottle of holy water and told me to put it on the corners of each window and door and pray and yea, I did but I'd still hear stuff.

I don't look out the windows once it's dark out. I will go out of my way to turn my head AWAY from the window, even if the blinds are down and closed. No matter where in the house you are, if it's dark out, I feel watched. I don't really think praying has done much, as much as I hate to say that. I even tried using sage to smudge the house at one point a few years back, because I always hear stuff. I just got used to it after awhile.

It feels worse now, because I don't have a dog anymore. I just got fish. I don't really have a dog that can lay on my bed and alert me if something happens or if it hears something like my last dog used to do.

Please. By any chance, can you PM me the name of the Lodging house?

Maybe, Rajine, explains why he still rides towards town, maybe it was the anniversary of his demise, I really have no idea.

I say as long as it's not inside the house you don't have to worry, as much as you can, avoid being out late, anything with red eyes in my opinion is demonic and malevolent and trying to take it head on is not the best idea, what I suggest is cover the windows that has no blinds or shades and pray as much and as often as you can.

That is indeed horrifying, reminds me of a similar incident I posted years ago on here, it could be a doppelganger or it could be a spirit that took on your grandfathers form.

Hi AussieRedDog

I suppose he must be still attached to the gold, his unfinished business, he must be very dedicated to finding gold, so much so that his spirit is still around over a generation later.

Hi again

As I mentioned in your previous story, praying is powerful, I know it is hard, but try not to show fear, as you mentioned the house being built in the 1800s, one can imagine the amount of supernatural activity that's going on there, I wonder though if it's resident spirits or just passing one's, given the long history of the place it's a wonder exactly how many people must have passed away in there.

It's definitely unnerving to have to go through that, from what I've read I'm assuming that this happens every night, do you get any sort of bad or good vibe from these entities?

The best thing you can do is pray, there's nothing more powerful than prayer, now that your dad believes you I think it's a good thing, so maybe talk to him about it and see what he has to say about it.

Hi T0PH4T

What you've described definitely does not seem like it was once human, often times malevolent entities try to pretend or mimic spirits or ghosts.

It's not wise to face whatever it is without proper preparation and planning, it shouldn't be faced alone, but with a group of people who have experience with this type of thing.

Hi Tweed

It seems like you got a bit more than you bargained for with said resident ghost/s.
So far it seems harmless, hopefully with time it'll cease completely, but a good regular cleansing now and then should help.

Tweed, & LostVoyage: I THANK YOU both for reading my post, & for your-as always-very thoughtful input.
I agree with this young couples' decision, & especially since they had an infant to protect. Leaving was the BEST option.
My hubby, mother-in-law, & I didn't have any children to worry about but things were indeed escalating to a dangerous level in that horrendous house. However, the landlord was always there with his hand out for the rent. The skunk.
Not all landlords are like that. I've encountered a couple that were VERY decent, & honest. They also took care of any repairs that were reported to them. They were one in a million.
Sometimes it's just too difficult to find out anything about the reason behind a specific haunting. The history of the house/site.
Sometimes all you can do is run, & resume your life elsewhere that is void of a haunt. That's what WE did, & that's what my sister's friends did also. Thank you so much for reading, & your comments!

The Very Best
To Both of You! 😁 😁

I have a great deal of respect for anyone who has the backbone to apologise CantunSEEit74. Bravo. Your comment to Amchi1986 is very encouraging and it would be so pleasant to see more encouragement coming from those of us who can speak fluent English.

I watch many shows and documentaries on various countries too CantunSEEit74. I do agree with what you say. I also speak to many people online from India and other countries too, and I feel completely sure we can all learn and support each other more.

I enjoy your stories Amchi1986. Persevere and keep your stories coming.

Cheers, Kent
*⁠⁠0⁠/⁠*

Happy April Fools to you too, Tweed. And of course that is not enough characters...

Spirit bugs has never crossed my mind and I try to get them outside if it's possible. WOW

I just saw a ghost do a cartwheel. 🤸‍♂️

Happy April Fools everyone.

Just a quick note for Cantunseeit, I've seen a spider apparition after squashing one. So your mice and deer hunter musings are definitely food for thought!

Hi Garm,

Although understandably terrifying it sounds like the black panther wasn't intending to hurt you. A living black panther wouldn't muck around with furniture, (sorry to be graphic here), they go for the skull first if they can and then its lights out. Super stealthy and efficient. If this spirit was in 'hunt' mode you wouldn't have known it was there. Chewing on the end of the bed seems more like a playful gesture to me, like a dog. Not saying you saw a dog, I believe you saw exactly what you describe, but the behaviour reminded me of a dog being cheeky. You mentioned you liked to prop your feet up on the foot board. Perhaps this spirt had observed you doing this before maybe even thought the foot board was a hinderance for you. I had similar thoughts about this entity as Lady Glow, some kind of spirit animal guide or something along those lines.

It clearly had a profound impact whatever it was. Although it was terrifying nothing bad seemed to come of it and in this way I hope you're glad of the unique experience. Well, as glad as anyone can be of a harrowing unexplainable moment.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with black panthers, had an imaginary black panther 'pet'. So my inner child was pretty stoked to read your experience. Don't know how I would've reacted to such a moment though, eek!

Thanks for sharing, you wrote this really well too, heaps of detail, love it!

Hi Tweed, you are right, this is the realm of physical beings and everyone has a right to their home. It's also true that everyone has the right to feel safe in their homes as well and unfortunately our dimension crosses another spiritual plane wherein we have a limited understanding of how it works.

Most ghosts and spirits have to honor our boundaries through some sort of unseen spiritual contract, like when we tell them not to scare us or set some kind of house rules as to their 'appearances'. That being said, there is a class or class of entities that don't seem be bound to these agreements as it were, such as in this story. The hauntings seem to start off 'normal' enough (or routine maybe is a better word) but begin to escalate and when 'it' becomes physically aggressive, a strategic retreat is usually the best option.

In these cases, usually 'it' wants the human occupants out and demonstrates its power in increasingly alarming ways. In many instances the occupants fight back, after all, like you said, it's their home. However like fighting with someone, it just escalates and the entitiy becomes bolder. After all, you can't slap a restraining order on it, or have the police come and arrest it, and unfortunately the ghostbusters aren't in our reality to trap it. I believe the angrier the human occupants get, it works like kinetic energy and the entity can feed off it and become more aggressive.

These hauntings have common threads, and the occupants usually end up fleeing after a final terrifying scare. They usually never return, sometimes even to retrieve their belongings and never find out what 'it' was. Ironically they usually don't want to know or care to find out. It's sad, and it's happened a lot over the years. Sometimes others move into the same house and the haunting doesn't repeat itself which leads to even more questions as to what it was.

Anyways, I had just read another story (not on here) that prompted me to comment on your post because it was eerily similar to this story and others. A couple driven from their dream home, determined to fight for it, yet when 'it' split a solid table down the middle from where it was wedged under a locked door, they knew it was time to leave.

Your comments were food for thought and really made me think of the bizarre similarities in these hauntings and even the house you and your husband were forced to abandon Linjahaha. I'm more curious as what these things are and how they come to be here at all.

Anyways good to hear from you Tweed and hopefully you don't mind my musings on your story/post/comments Linjahaha, but I believe it relevant and it got me curious.
😁

Hi Linjahaha,

It's always fascinated me the laws around homes and the paranormal in America. I think it's really cool, even if some landlords stick their fingers in their ears and go 'la la la'. Such laws would never exist in Australia, too many skeptics. I feel bad for the couple and wish they'd have stayed to defend their home. This is the realm of the living after all, no soul has the right to rip a home away. But being so exhausted by everything and with a kiddy to protect I can understand why they fled. On the flip side maybe the couple wound up where they were supposed to be in some cosmic way. I was just submitting a rental related haunting to the site and the title of this caught my attention in an amusing way. But I didn't expect it to be such a seriously awful haunting. Sorry for the people who endured it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I just joined this group and this is my first post. Yes, I've seen the mist. As I was watching TV in the evening I was facing the hall coming into the living room when I saw a shadow materialize into a tall shape with a curve on the side. It appeared to walk toward the living room until it was almost to my side. At that point it dissipated. My son died 5 months ago (54) and I believe it to be him. He was that tall. At the place it disappeared there was a desk with his urn and pictures on it. This was actually the 4th paranormal experience related to his death but I'll save those stories for another time. I just wanted to comment on your grey mist. This one did not have a shape of a human but I could tell it was walking, not just gliding. It certainly seemed intelligent, and I hope it was my son. It was my first impression that it was. My only other experience with a grey mist appearing to me was my grandmother, dead 6 months, many years ago. I knew it was her even though she appeared as a shape of a person with no discernable features. It appeared she wore a cloak, like a monk's cloak. Your story is so interesting. I have read that spirits like to interact with people, and it seems that's what yours did by causing the car to slow down for the crosswalk.

Amchi1986 I must say I am very disappointed in myself for my comments on your story Amchi86. I hope you can forgive me. I know that English is not everyone's first language and I send all of you respect on that added learning curve. I must say I really enjoy the many shows showing India and the ancient stone buildings and Temples. You live in an amazing place, and I hope your life is good. I must remember the story, language transfer into English is probably a challenge. I only speak English and my wife corrects me often. Don't give up just take your time when telling your story. Your story on this site may outlive you, make sure it is well written for years to come. Take care.

Hi, Bergraf: I'm sorry if I confuse people with the quote '' marks. I'll explain. I just use them to call attention to a specific instance, or thing.
If it seems perplexing, I'll discontinue using them,& instead use capital letters to hi-lite something specific if it makes it easier for everyone.
However, I am VERY GLAD that you enjoy reading the accounts. I assure you they ARE true accounts. Thank you so much for reading, & commenting!

Wishing the Best! ❤ 😁

I always enjoy your stories Linjahaha, they are some of the best on this site.
I hope I don't sound like a smart-ass, but I'm just curious, I've wanted to ask for a long while- What's up with the 'quote' marks around random words? 🤔

Interesting story, and very well written 😊 thanks for sharing it.

Hello [at] phoenix07

Thanks for your concern, yeah I did really well in my exams and thanks for understanding too😊

Pelatiah, I assure you that a gas tank 'can' fall out of a traveling car. Especially if you're driving a rust bucket like Bill had, & then to hook it up in the backseat nonetheless. I 'wish' you could've seen 'that'. Hoo-boy!
I'm glad that you enjoyed the account, & can identify with it. Thanks for reading!

Best Wishes! 😁 😁

Linjahaha, I loved your story! And I agree with you 100 percent, our loved ones ARE with us, even after they die. I believe we've agreed on other things before, and now it makes sense why.

I too had an angel help me in a time of great hopelessness/fear.

Also have a late husband that's been around now and then for the last 25 years, since 1993. He ties boy scout knots in my mini blinds every time he "visits." Wow, I didn't know gas tanks could fall out of vehicles!

I know I am late to this thread but I was just thinking about my encounter and searched to see if these entities existed for others, and apparently other people have experienced these entities and it just blows me away because it's the same description that I saw myself, which makes me feel like I'm less alone in it.

To describe my experience. I must have being very very young. Like not even 2 years old. Because the encounter was so strange it still stayed in my memory though.

Basically I had my own room and cot to sleep in. And when my parents turned the light out for me to go to bed. These static people that had snow white static that looked like off a old television channel when there was no reception, their body was sort of made of that, no features. Well unlike the others posted here they did pay attention to me, they raced into my room to crowd around me before I went to sleep. Several of them. I didn't like it and yelled out to my parents, they then turned the light on, said what's wrong, and I sort of expressed that there was someone in my room after me. But every time they left me to go to sleep, these things would appear and crowd around me again. I thought of them at the time as monsters because I really didn't know what it was.

When they got up close to me, I heard like static electricity going off something like thick cracking of electricity, and it's like they were trying to do something to my brain or figure something out with me. I don't know what they were trying to do, or why they were so focused on me, but they were concerned with something, like they were trying to figure something out with me maybe. Perhaps for some reason they could enter my world and that I could see them and maybe that was what the fuss was, but for whatever reason this only happened that time when I was trying to go to sleep one night in this specific house.

I have thought over the years if they changed me or did something to me to benefit them, or if they had some mission, or why it was they were drawn to me, if there was any meaning behind it or just a random paranormal event. Maybe they are from a parallel universe or world and are a different species or something. I don't actually feel like they were evil specifically, but they weren't exactly comforting when they were invading my room like that when I wanted to sleep, because for starters I didn't have the capacity to know that it was anything else than monsters. They didn't cause me pain or anything but they did choose this time where I was alone in the room before sleep. They went away when I called for my parents when they turned the light back on. But the way they rushed in to crowd me right after my parents went away and turned the light off, well that was sort of terrifying for my age. But it didn't seem like they were out to scare me or even harm me really, but it did seem like they had some interest or agenda in something to do with me. I just don't know what it was.

Another theory I have, is that maybe some time in my evolution I use to be one of them at a point, and that I crossed over into this form, and that they recognised me or wanted to learn more about how I did it or communicate with me or interact or study me in some way after finding out I use to be one of them. But that is only a theory, one of many possible theories about it, and I could be completely wrong about that.

Overall I just don't know, but I do think this goes beyond a random dream experience due to other people having seen them, and the fact they appeared before I even was asleep.

Just very, very, strange.

Zander: I'm glad that you enjoyed my account. It is a small world that your father,& grandfather were attorneys around that same time. Wow!
If I had known then what I know now about Bill I would have looked them up, & asked them to put Bill so far back in a cell, they would've had to pipe him sunlight.
Of course, I didn't know then what I learned later. Oh, well. The 'important' thing is I did learn, & had some assistance from the paranormal realm. Help can come from the most unexpected of sources.
Wouldn't you agree? Thanks for reading, & commenting!

The Very Best 😁 😁

Thank you guys for reading my story.

You guys probably right. I maybe high during that time. That other 'me' maybe friendly, he harmless though. He was just sitting and doing nothing.

Appreciate you guys!

That's amazing! My grandmother was born with the veil as well. I believe they call it a "caul" and it's prized by sailors as providing protection at sea, of all things. Thank you for another great story!

I'm really enjoying reading your stories. My father and grandfather would have both been attorneys in Columbus when you were passing through. My grandfather was also mayor of Columbus for a time in the 40s. The then mayor had died in office and as Head of City Council, he had to fill in. He didn't win re-election but he really shook things up! Smashed some slot machines with sledge hammers because he said gambling hurt families. Looking forward to reading more of your writing! Glad your story had a happy ending!

I used to live in Dorcas in the 70s as a child.
I just happened to do a search for it on Google to see if I could find out anything about it and up popped your story!

What was your other self doing, apart from sitting at your kitchen table? Was it looking back at you or just staring into space?

From what I gather it seems to be a very helpful entity, probably just wanted you to join in for some breakfast before you head of.

Sudabi777, Very interesting encounter. However, I can sympathize with your reaction. I, too, would freak out. I feel that 'one' of me in this world is more than 'enough',lol! Trying to inject a little levity here to calm you down a bit.
Many people have seen their Doppelgangers. However, most subscribe to a parallel universe for an explanation. I'm open-minded so that 'could' be a possibility. Yet, like L.V. Mentioned, you had just been drinking. So don't rule that out as a possibility either. I hope I'm not offending you. I'm merely throwing out some theories that you may want to consider. I've no doubt you saw something that alarmed you, but just consider what we've offered to you. If that happens again-I hope it doesn't for your sake-please let us know about it. Interesting read!

Take Care!
🤔 😊

Hello sudabi777, interesting experience, thanks for sharing it!

My overall feeling is that this encounter was nothing of any concern. You had never mentioned whether you've had anything like this happen to you before, so if this is a one time occurrence with nothing else preceding it, you don't need to worry.

You may have witnessed a time slip of sorts, not all so called doppelgänger sightings are just that, some see an event in the past or future as it were. Was your motorcycle actually running when you went to check on it? Was the 'other you' looking at you or oblivious to your presence? Perfume can tend to linger, so I'm not sure about that. You had mentioned drinking earlier in the evening, and that could have some influence on the events, but you also seemed extremely aware of your surroundings during this time as well. You had mentioned it being around 3AM which seems to be a prime time for the supernatural for various reasons.

The mind can tend to panic when it experiences something outside its known environment and comfort zone, and that can generate fear, not necessarily the situation itself.

I don't doubt that you experienced something out of the ordinary, but I don't feel you were in any danger or that it was a warning. On the contrary, I feel you were witness to something extraordinary, and I do also understand your reactions. From your other story, you seem to have a sensitivity to the paranormal.

Hopefully it helps add a different perspective, good luck!

Hello old-dude, good to see you still check in now and then. Your stories are some my favorites, especially the ones revolving around the Texas Road. That night you and your friends tried to get a photo of the alter stone and your experience on Boblo Island are my favorites.

I too am intrigued by the ghost horse and the other mysterious circumstances surrounding the Texas Road and that whole area. There is a lot out there about it, but it's nice to get the perspective of someone who was actually there and grew up in that general area

I know you have checked in with updates of the area now and then in the comments of your stories and it's been awhile, but if there are any other stories you have to share regarding the ghost horse and that whole area around the Texas Road, I'd really enjoy hearing about it!

Thanks again for sharing your incredible encounters!

Hi Roshhh, I certainly get your point regarding the family as they wanted you to concentrate on your board exams and this is why they must have told you to forget about this incident. I am also from India so I know what your parents must have told you.

The land must be haunted and that's why it was deserted. Still, I hope you are now in good health and did your best in your board exams.

If it had a beating heart and walked this earth, I believe they can show themselves from the spirit realm. Many people have seen their passed dogs, cats, elephants, many different encounters. A Panther would be an amazing sight but not near my feet. I always wondered if deer hunters are followed by their kills only since I trapped and killed and then seen dead mice running in my home.

Lady-glow, Rajine, & Lisa: I am glad that you all enjoyed the account.
That's right. Wisdom comes for the lessons learned the 'hard way'.
I believe that we've 'all' been down 'that' road once, or twice.
Lisa, I'm glad that you don't mind the length of the narrative.
Thank you all for reading!

All the Best! 😁 😁

I really enjoy reading your stories. The longer, the better, no need to apologize for the length! Please continue to write. 😁

Yes it's best just to forget about that place and move on, I wonder if there's anyone living in that house now...

Hi SashB

That is very true, faith is important, very few people are lucky enough to be spiritually gifted, I think you should focus on it as well.

Hi GingerRead

It's always good to rule out the rational before going the supernatural route, only when something cannot be explained with logic and rationality then you can go onto the impossible.

Hi Dindin

That is actually quite fascinating, it would be really interesting if you shared a few of your UFO encounters. It's great that the clicking has stopped.

Ouija boards are not the safest, and a lot of people learned that the hard way, but I understand that it was a trend back in the day, what you experienced as a kid is very strange, mostly spirits take on a human form.

Hi Linjahaha

It's amazing how time puts things into perspective, the more you look back at it.

The signs were there from the very beginning, I think even that old dilapidated vehicles fuel tank falling apart was the first sign that you should turn back, it is coincidence that it just so happened to fall apart at that exact moment. But I'm glad that everything worked out for you in the end, I do believe that we all have a guardian angel out there looking out for us.

Welcome to YGS.

Hi Garm99.

In my opinion, it is hard to say what exactly the panther was. After reading your account I think you were fully awake as to consider this vision a nightmare, on the other hand, if the house had been haunted, more activity would have been expected.

It is said that improper use of the Ouija board can open portals to the spirit world, I hope your grandmother and her friend closed the sessions before putting the boards away. Otherwise I don't think your innocent playing of spelling words would be considered as opening a new OB session.

This may be a long shot but, have you considered the possibility of seen your spirit animal that night? Though scary, this wouldn't be a bad thing.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Linjahaha.

Definitively there're people looking for you not only in the physical world, but in the spirit world too.

Who hasn't taken any wrong decisions during their youth? At the end, these wrong decisions are lessons in life.

Thanks for sharing this interesting and fascinating experience.

The reason the activity has recently begun in earnest, I would imagine, is due to your 12 year old child just hitting adolescence. At that age and time in life, spirit energies can use their turbulence like a "battery" source. How is the 12 year old doing? That might be my first concern. What is the history of the home itself? Is there by chance an old man in your village who is a bit of an odd duck but knows the town history and may be a dowser? If you bring him round he should be able to tell you who and what it is and what they want. I'm getting something to do with a well on the property. And some jewelry is coming to mind as well. Some spirit is missing something or concerned about it. Has your husband tried automatic writing or drawing? He may be able to get further information that way. And I'm picking up you can get messages in dreams fairly readily. Just speak out loud what you want to know before you turn in and see what happens. All the best

Hi Dee, I'll look into the video. Alot has changed in the area but I think it is the same area. I'll watch the video and let you know.

MiaG - Thank you!☺ That's crazy you mentioned how my husband and I seem to be with each other. We're actually very close with one another. We both swear, that we could write a book about how we finally ended up together, and wouldn't be surprised if there was a movie made afterwards lol. I love that we have such a good story of us coming together, that makes it feel even more, like it's meant to be. We're each other's best friend, to where we very rarely like to do anything apart. We don't feel the need to escape from each other, like some couples seem to, and love being able to spend as much time together as possible, talking about any & everything. We already know how special what we have together is, and just how rare it is to have apparently. We can't believe we managed to be so lucky, to have what we do, knowing how in other areas of our lives, where we haven't been as lucky. You're not the first person to notice this about us either. I think some seem to be more envious of what we have, wishing they had it too, but it's times like that, that reminds us how rare it is to have what we do. Sorry to keep going on about that though! 😅 I don't want to come off big headed or whatever, about it. It's just that's the one area in my life, that I truly value (aside my children of course), and make sure to appreciate, such an amazing blessing, considering what all I had endured, before getting with my husband now. Even the struggles we've went through, since being with each other, I couldn't imagine having to have went through it all, without him by my side. I too love being able to hear of couples like us, that despite whatever they have went through together, at least they stayed by each other's side, fighting each battle together, and coming out even stronger, on the other side. That's how it's supposed to be. You're supposed to be a team! That 50/50 thing I've heard in a marriage, is something I don't agree with either, as a married couple should BOTH be putting in 100/100 on each side, giving it their all, NOT their half. Now of course there will be times when one may not be able to give 100% of their selves, but that's when the other should help pick up their end, and help them get back to 100% again. Too many couples today, fail to see it that way though. Anyways, I'll stop my rant now lol 😅 I hope you're doing good still?☺ Sending you warm & positive energy!

The Lost Voyage 11 - I'm happy to see another agree to that theory, about that topic seeming to draw attention from the spiritual side. I feel like it doesn't get said enough, how dangerous it can be, to just get caught up in all that stuff etc, to where you're attracting spirits to you. It's a constant struggle for me, to want to benge watch paranormal shows, and talk about that stuff, then having to worry if you drew attention to yourself, while doing so. I think what you said you do, to protect yourself from having this problem, is a very smart idea. I know I should protect myself, when I do things like my Oracle or Tarot readings, so not to have this happen, but didn't really think to do so when wanting to watch paranormal shows etc, or just talk about it. That's a really good idea to start doing though!😄 I hope to hear back from the poster of this soon, as I'd like to know if this could possibly be a reason for the increased activity around their home?

Walt: Just 'had' to put in my 2 cents here. I don't know if you still read this site, but 'this' account is fantastically terrifying.
I, sincerely, hope you're alright now. It's terrible what happened to your Dad. Possibly he was being tormented also. I don't know.
This was an incredible read!

Take care! 😊 😊

Hello Twilight1011,

I'm glad your husband is handling the loss of his mother a little more. The pain never goes and there's no set time frame for adjusting. You also need to look after you. You are being a great supportive wife and giving your husband strength to help him through this sad period, but you too are going through this and hopefully he is just as supportive.

You sound like you have a really strong compatible relationship with each other. That's so lovely to read. It warms my heart knowing that through ups and downs, thick and thin, couples can bond further and get even closer. You are one of the lucky one's.

How uncanny you turned the astrology card in your reading. There's obviously a bigger force at play. The good thing is you're enjoying learning astrology. Don't give up, it's completely worth it once you get the hang of it. Imagine being to use the planets to predict events, and other significant dates in advance.

Hope your both doing better, warm wishes, and positive energy back to you.

Twilight1011 - You bring up a good point as well, regarding how the different ways talking about or watching ghost stories etc, can draw that type of activity to you. Many posters on this site alone mention the eerie feelings they have while trying to put their story into words and submit it.

I myself even posted a story of this very thing happening to me when I was a teen engaging in a lengthy conversation about ghosts and learned first hand what can happen!

Since then I have made sure to protect myself and set appropriate boundaries when reading or commenting on stories on this or any supernatural site, watching any kind of ghost stories AND especially talking about this kind of topic or relaying stories to others. I make it clear, though I'm extremely interested in this topic, it is NOT an open invitation for an experience 😁

That may be something to consider as well MW, it may play a role in the activity picking up after it initially started. Still and all if any new remodeling coincided with the first encounters starting up, there are ways to deal with that as well.

I look forward to hearing if this is the case or not?

The Lost Voyage 11 - I'm glad you mentioned the recent possibility, of any new renovations being done around the house. I forgot that I had wanted to ask about that as well, but unfortunately with constant distractions going on around me (my kid's lol), while I tried to write my first post to this, I forgot that part.😅 But I was thinking the same thing, on whether or not something new was being done around the house, that could possibly be something that the ghost, who might have already been there, didn't agree with, and is trying to let you know? If you have done something new, does the starting & planning time of this project, match with when the activity seemed to pick up?

MW, not sure if this means anything to what you're experiencing, but I've heard when you start to think about the paranormal world more, from talking about it, and starting to be more aware of your surroundings, that you can end up attracting the paranormal side to you, as they see you're more opened to noticing them now. I don't know if that's possibly the case for you, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I know when it comes to my hubby and I, whenever we start to talk more about that stuff, and start watching a lot of paranormal stuff, it seems to increase the activity around us, that normally wasn't as noticeable before. My other theory, has anyone in your home, in this time period you've said it's picked up, brought anything used into the house? Like antiques or something given from a family member etc? My reason for asking this, is because if so, then it's possible whatever was brought into your home, could possibly have some spirit attached to it. If it's a past family member that you knew, it could be them looking over you, as you've said how it doesn't feel bad. But these are just some theories I've thought of. They may not be the case with you, but like I said, I thought it was worth mentioning, incase it could be of help to you. Whatever is in your house though, I think it's best to go with your instinct, so if it doesn't feel like something that means y'all harm, then there's most likely nothing to worry about, in that case. I do want to at least state this as a caution, whatever you decide to do, be careful! Like I had said before, noticing the activity now, and reacting to it etc, can be what draws whatever it is, in more, as you're now giving it the attention it needs, to be able to get stronger etc. I don't say this caution to make it sound like something bad, I'm only mentioning it so you can be aware of this. Listen to your intuition about it, and make sure not to go against whatever your intention is trying to tell you. Welcome to YGS!☺ and I look forward to reading your updates about this. Sending you good vibes 😊

Hello MW, interesting story, thanks for sharing it!

It has been noted that remodeling in and of itself can stir up ghostly activity, usually that of a prior resident.

I understand that you had mentioned you have been working on this home for 9 years now with no activity, that has been something that started recently?

Has the haunting activity coincided with some remodeling/restoration project that just began, ie: maybe getting around to a closet space or bathroom etc that hasn't been touched on prior?

My point being that, whatever resides in the house (assuming it's not someone passing through, like a relative visiting) may have been fine with the remodel up until now, but maybe you started working on a room or a space recently that it doesn't want altered? That would explain why you've heard nothing up until now.

I'd be curious to know, as well as what else might have occurred since you posted this experience!

MiaG - Thank you for giving some helpful information, about how to learn astrology reading etc. I really do appreciate it!☺ I think something is really pushing me lately, to learn how to read and understand astrology stuff. The other day, when I did an Oracle reading for myself, just being opened to any helpful advice etc, that I might need, I got an astrology card, that was pretty much telling me how I should look more into astrology, and learn what all it means, and how the planet alignments can influence us etc. I sat there dropped mouth lol, as I got this card, telling myself that something is obviously trying to get my attention, as it apparently wants me to finally study more into learning astrology stuff, instead of wishing I could understand it.😅 I just thought it was crazy though, considering I've been talking to you about it lately, a lot more, and I've been looking into it more as well, so to get that card at this time, makes it feel more than just a coincidence. But aside astrology talk, we're doing better now, but still have our moments where we're reminded she's no longer with us, to do the thing's that we normally would with her. We're having to push through all the hard moments, as we experience the first full year without her.😞 I'm happy that my husband has seemed to finally make peace with her death now, from how we lost her exactly, so I'm very happy about that for him. I've tried to help him through this, saying how he can't keep holding onto his anger with her leaving us the way she did, as it will do him no good, and how I believe him not being able to forgive her, he could be affecting her on the other side, not being able to fully heal the way she needs as well. It took some time, but he seemed to one day finally understand her side of it, and in doing so, he was able to forgive her. I hope you're doing good as well, as I know you also lost a loved one? Sending you love and good thoughts!

Hi dazybloop

Since you have been there twice and I'm guessing that nothing happened the first time, then I think that it was something that followed you and your boyfriend, maybe a passing spirit perhaps.

Thanks! It's been about 8 years since the clicking. And funnily I have seen UFOs periodically as well.
I haven't had anymore clicking since then. So it's all good.
Thanks for listening. I was a bit worried.

[at] valkricry, understood! Thanks for letting me know, that makes sense.

Hi BravelyKegger.

Maybe you are not aware of the fact that I live on an island named Mauritius. There are a lot of things that are not familiar to other people, but our country is multicultural, we have people of all kinds, Hindus, Muslims, Chinese, Tamil, Marathi, Christians, Catholics... You name it. Let me tell you that our ancestors immigrated here from various countries, Africa, India, Madagascar etc... And each of us respect our culture and religion, I have friends of all religions and we are always united, listen to our national anthem if you have time. For me God is only one, god resides inside each of us so that makes us God? We are all devotees of God, the only difference is that we pray differently. For me, God is only one and we are unaware of the fact that whoever we pray are people blessed with special abilities who did good deeds and sacrificed so many things for us, I'm a Hindu and I pray to God that we have been praying because our culture is like this. I cannot change the fact that I'm a proud Mauritian and respect all religions but people can surely change their mindset! Note that I'm an religious person ans just like I feel negative entities, I do feel positive sometimes after praying. Thank you.

BravelyKegger.

What makes you think this was a demon?
What makes you think that all encounters involve demons?

Why do you advise anyone to pray to Jesus regardless of their faith? And by this I don't mean that I don't believe Jesus Christ wouldn't help anyone calling to him, but probably his wouldn't be the first name coming to the mind and heart of a non Christian person.

Perhaps you should read the comments guidelines of the site, specifically the part that says:

"This site offers discussions on the topic of ghost experiences, with people coming from various cultures, so please avoid proselytizing or preaching, unless the author of a story specifically asks to receive feedback from that religious perspective...It's fine to share what your religion has to offer as a possible explanation, but everyone has their own, they certainly don't come here to be converted, so please, don't push it on others as irrefutable fact."

All of this could stop if you accepted Jesus as your protector and savior. Demons operate on fear and vulnerability, but their power was stripped away at the cross Jesus died on. All authority had been given to Christ once he rose from the dead, and those who have been redeemed by him share in his authority and power. It's honestly laughable how weak and pathetic demons really are when you mention the name Jesus, sadly people do not know who Jesus really is and the security we have in him.

This is an interesting story granpaul, and presumably quite terrifying for your friends. It certainly would be for me. I've heard first hand accounts of the sound of dishes crashing in the kitchen, leading to the discovery of a collection of broken dishes, so this aspect of your story may not be uncommon. But in your case it was sound only. Maybe this is a first, and maybe the absence of the broken dishes signifies something. And is the misspelling of 'hel' yours or was this the way it was written, or smeared to use your word?
And finally, the use of the icing on the cake as a surface to leave a message is remarkable, if not unheard of, at least in my experience in reading about hauntings. Was there a piece of cutlery employed as an instrument, or did the spirit (if that's the word we can use to describe the culprit) appear to use a finger, as we might? And if a finger was used, or no instrument found, then the visitor must have taken a bit of icing back home. And if a finger was used, followed by a little finger licking, where did the icing go? I'm trying to visualize the sequence and consequences of the events. The whole thing is so puzzling.

Hello Ranjine,

Thank you for commenting, I have been to that place like 2 times before and i'm unsure if the place is really haunted or is it an entity that followed us or was already following us? Guess it will remain a mystery because I will definitely not try to contact the entity, I don't even know about its intentions.

Hello lady-glow,

Thank you for your questions. We were on his vehicle which I have always travelled in it with him. And the perfume was definitely not familiar because neither of us have ever smelled it before and upon smelling the perfume, I did feel uncomfortable, not that the perfume wasn't good, but it was different from what i'm used to.

And I have known my boyfriend for years now, I'm unsure if any of my departed loved ones have been present at that time, I don't about his family now...

Assuming that you got the perfume smell (again assuming that fragrance is not familiar to you and no one you know uses it) on your way to the hotel, I'd say that it could be a possibility that whatever it was probably followed your'll, but if not then maybe that hotel room is possibly haunted.

I believe that eventually we all are going to be judged and either rewarded or punished accordingly, I think that gangster is being punished for whatever he's done and isn't able to move on because of it.

I don't think it's weird that you are getting used to it, especially since from what I gather, it's a daily occurance, the wildlife cam is a good idea and if you can, an EVP voice recorder would also help I think.

ellielightfoot,
Since you're new, I'll cut you some slack. First, thanks for actually commenting on the stories before launching into what could be labeled 'spamming' the site about your site 'spooked'. I noticed you have all that info on your profile, which is great! So, instead of 'spamming' the site by regurgitating the same info over and over, try just inviting them to look at your profile if interested in sharing their story with your site. 😊

Hi dazybloop.

Was the aroma of the perfume familiar to you or to your boyfriend?
Were you walking or riding a vehicle?

Not being judgemental but, perhaps a departed loved one, either yours or your boyfriend's, wasn't happy about your romantic date and wouldn't have approved of it in life?

Thanks for sharing.
