Hi Roy.

I love blooming cherry trees!
It seems to me that Bryan is an empath and the 'felt' the boy's last moments. Sadly, it's not uncommon for people to drawn when rivers grow.

Thanks for sharing.

Add-ups
I kind of ended my story somewhat at the middle because there is lack of my experience, my friend said that as the child came close to him his body starts to become numb and as if he was under muddy water... Or watery mud? He could barely move, he said he could not hear the surrounding since it was like as if he was covered by heavy mud. I am not sure how to explain that but all I experienced there is seeing a child appearing and mysteriously disappearing in the river. But then I kind of realize that it sounded like a story told in youtube by random people who claims to have experience... And so I kind of just deleted this part. 😐

Hey everyone. I was on a vacay and it took me a day or two to get back. I apologize. Thank you for you
R interest. I haven't shared this experience before so having anyone interested is incredible to me.
I lived in the house for one year. I did find out a little history. There was one man who passed away.
I do have some more of the story. It got even more alarming for me.
I wanted to address one question about when I moved the mirror. I just took it off the wall the evening I closed on the house in order to place it back on the wall just in the different spot. I hung it back up and left it. It was the next morning when it came off the wall at me, still on the nail at the top. But, when I turned my head to look, that's when it fell back to the wall.

You said "a serial killer lived there", do you know what the killer really did? He may be a trigger for any spiritual activities, here in Japan they have a very good explanation call Nen, which translates into a thought or a person's feeling. Most spirits are believed to be the Nen of the person who already is dead but did not realize it. The character "Nen" itself have a self meaning "Present Heart" meaning the thoughts of presents, and by the spiritual meaning it represents the thought of that person when that person is still alive.
The serial killer may have brought something to the house, so some more research, what did the killer do? Did anything happened in the house? It is a true case? Is it on going, etc.

yes I do actually that's not first time I will share many more stories which was experience by me and my mother. Actually the place I am come from is popular for black magic and my mom thinks it is black magic... Some time even in a close room I experience many time that someone splash water (tiny amount)... Intially my parents didn't believe me but one day I was sat with them and suddenly water splash on my boody I show them the droplets then they believe me same think is happening with my maternal uncle (mother's brother).

Did you try talking to your family about this? If it was something evil, I don't think all it would do is just lay down next to you.

With stuff like that going on its a wonder anyone would stay there for more than a day. Have you ever spoken to the previous owners or researched the history of the place?

YES, I and my mother both experience it many time there was three room. From which one room u can't sleep alone or lights off. One night when my father and mother was out of station for two days, my friend come to stay with me she just woke up at late night and lay beside me and tightly hugged me and next morning she said I am sorry I don't feel good about that place I can't stay. Even once 200 police officers come to raid by help of a tip because once a serial killer lived there and maintained that address. May be he did something?

Welcome! I agree with Lady-glow that this is hard to consider if its a God or Satan himself. If you have been ill for such a long period, really hallucination is one good explanation for your experience.
But, if you said you have some other experiences I will need to ask if others experienced the same thing as you did? And is it on going? Do you know the background of the house? 🤔 It may not be high beings or any angels or demons, or anything spiritual when you know what is going on after all, calm down and try to do some research.

ok so I hate summer because I sweat a lot more than usual even after bath or laying under AC... So one of my bad habit is to on ac right after the bath which cause normally every year cold and cough... Even right now I am dealing with mild cold and cough but that time doctor also said that's normal viral and didn't gave any extra medicine... Just for fever but at that time my health keep detorting... By the way angel might fell heat but that store room was little bit upstairs and store room heated like hell because their is no shed on the roof of store room... And why she was shivering?... Although we left that house but that was not the one encounter we all feel. Their is something in that house

Welcome to YGS.

I have some questions about your story and will appreciate any extra information you may provide.

"Due to extreme heat, my health became very bad and I remember I remained ill for 22 days"

Could you be more specific about this illness? Was it heat stroke or heat exhaustion? Were you bedbound and medicated for those 22 days?

"you can see things while hallucinating but can not feel things."

Actually, there's a condition called tactile hallucinations in which, among others, a person may experience "Feelings of being touched or kissed" and this can be a side effect of some medications, as explained in the following link:

Https://www.choosingtherapy.com/tactile-hallucinations/

As for Angel, she might had been sheltering from the heat?

In my opinion, it's hard to say if you experienced a paranormal encounter, much less if it was God or Satan, or if your recovery was your own body reacting to the medications and rest.
I'm glad to know you recovered fully.

Thanks for sharing.

Neanderthunder: Please forgive me for posturing here. This sounds like some kind of ritualistic murder. It appears, to me anyhow, that she was calling attention to her unexpected grave as it were.
There have been some rather bizarre cult killings here in the U.S...
The hair 'tied' to a lock may give credence to this theory. It is just possible since you say you didn't feel enticed by her. She may be trying to 'call attention' to what happened to 'her'. Possible murder/life cut short/desiring justice/unfinished business.
You say the pond was drained out. Were any bones found? Anything besides the piece of hair? Maybe I've given you something to consider here. You want comments. I am contributing mine now, & I hope you don't mind the suppositions that I'm offering. Just something to think about. This was a pretty good read, thanks!

The Best! 😊 😊

MichelleS, This IS a mind-blower! Do you know 'anything' about the history of the house/land, or the object itself?
I hope you're not still enduring it. Please, let us know if you learn anything. Hoping you stay very safe. Very intriguing read!

Take Care! 😲 😲

Hi. Interesting story and I am having problems visualizing a detail:

"Next morning, I was sitting at the bar only three feet from this mirror to my left. I glanced and couldn't believe this heavy, hanging-on-a-nail, piece of metal was perpendicular to the floor floating in the air!"

But shortly after you saw this, you state, "it fell back to the wall, making the loudest bang! (Still hanging on the nail!) "

After you took the mirror down from the bar, it is my understanding that you took it off the nail, or whatever held it in place, so how is it now still on the nail in the wall?

Please help a skeptic understand. Thanks.

Even I think it was a case of a poltergeist (a ghost who troubles people intentionally and causes mischief just to have fun at people's expense). Anyways you people were indeed lucky that atleast your lives were saved because such an harmful ghost can even go to the extent of harming lives. Anyways according to me you should have checked the hotel's history before booking a room in it or even after landing there should have enquired with the hotel in charge about that room anyways you people were indeed lucky that the your life did not land up in a grave danger. Because I had seen in an episode on true ghost series on tv that a poltergeist troubled people who entered a hotel room and even went to the extent of killing out two out of four innocent people who had arrived in a hotel to enjoy their vacation after troubling them in almost the same manner as you people were troubled and tortured for no fault of your's.only a girl and boy survived the attack by the poltergeist. Anyways god was kind to you that you escaped from such an frightening experience.

Welcome to YGS.

Hi Michelle.

What an unnerving way to welcome you to your new place!

Do you know if anyone passed away in the house?
In my opinion, it seems
Like someone wasn't ready to share their place and earthy possessions with you.

How long did you live in that house?
Did the activity intensify over time?
Do you know if the new owner experienced any other disturbance aside from the flying cross?

It is hard to know who or what was causing the paranormal activity, perhaps it was the spirit of a person that, for some reason, hadn't moved on into the next plane of existence and was acting in the same way they did while alive. Let's hope they have moved on before hurting anyone.

Thanks for sharing.

Rajine,

How would the medium exactly help her in that? She's been very silent for the past few weeks and it's concerning.

Hello Linjahaha and Rajine,
Thanks for reading my story.
Yes, I did take that as a warning and left that toxicity behind and I totally agree Rajine, that coworkers have a huge role in messing up the experience for you, like my team leader.
Thanks for the comments 😊

Hey RCRuskin,
Thank you for reading my story.
Great that you could relate to the story being worked at call centres, and you are right about being stuck, It can be exhausting when you cannot comment or say anything when the customer is just being harsh to you or simply stupid.
And yes it was cold the entire time, I had to get my jacket and that's why I remember this.

RCRuskin
Well I was not thinking of anything just a little fussy because I was kind of in a rush to go out for some important tasks. I am not sure is that was the fact but my destination was a local temple where superstitious people would think that Baku, the dream eater monster (which looks kind of like an ant-eater) was worshipped...
I have no idea what or why the shadow was... It may be something spiritual or something which would control my dream... Maybe Baku had ate the bad dreams for me? I don't know.
Well, I am an open minded person so I do not mind any criticizing or comments or any questions... But the thing now is that I have no idea what really happened even after such a long periode (2weeks or so)

Blosomes, that is the thing. My first question would be "Where did you annoy this spirit?" Somewhere in Japan, somewhere outside of Japan? The spirit would likely be one known in the area where it happened, so how do the locals respond to it?

Shinto is quite different. Many long years ago, I was invited by a friend, a military chaplain, to join him in a program he had going to offer spiritual guidance online. We had to follow US Military Chaplaincy Guidelines and offer advice based on the other person's religious beliefs. Teach Jews as if I was a Jew, Moslems as if I was Moslem, Southern Baptist Christians as if I was... Well, I think you get the idea. As a result of this experience, I came to the conclusion we should teach religion in our schools. Not one religion specifically, but a course that is an overview of world religions since our religious beliefs inform not only our actions, but also how we interpret the things we see.

If we see just one tree in a forest swaying as if in a violent wind but the other trees are still? To some, that would be a ghost. To others, it might be a god/spirit/kami trying to get someone's attention. And another group might be looking for squirrels chasing each other through the branches. How do we know what the facts are? With more data, of course, and that seems to be my refrain. 😁

So, rereading through your experience, your friend said this shadow entity came out of you. (Assuming my rereading is accurate here.) What were you thinking about at the time? Perhaps lightly questioning the local beliefs? I know that some people have such fragile egos that if I even disagree with them in part, it is a personal attack.

RCRuskin
Maybe I am misunderstanding something... But I just wanted to make a point that Shintoism something totally different than we think.
But I agree it might be something about me but I am still in a maze of why and how I offended which spirit?

Rajine
Indeed, there IS some reason but I do not remember what... Still have no idea 🤔

The supernatural world is very complex and we don't fully understand it, but this shadow seems to be singling you out for some reason.

I think Ellie should consult a medium to find out what exactly is going on, and what are those experiences.

RCRuskin, so I found one entity in Bengali folklore that kind of sorta matches the description.

I'm just going to copy and paste from the Wikipedia article.

Sheekol Buri / Jol-Pishach: These entities are described as dwelling in rivers, ponds, and lakes. They have many different names throughout Bengal. They appear as young women with long wet hair and eyes with no irises, who had either committed suicide by drowning (due to an unhappy marriage) or violently drowned (especially after becoming pregnant with unwanted children). In folklore, they are known for luring young men into nearby bodies of water where they entangle them with their hair and drown them. Sometimes they seduce their targets, forming a romantic relationship in which case they ask for a promise. If the promise is broken, they reveal their true form and kill their target. These creatures are similar to the Rusalka from Slavic mythology.

It's not a one to one match, but the water part and the eyes with no iris or white iris kind of rhymes.

It honestly never occurred to me to check folklore, because Bengali folklore are largely children's stories.

I'm not that much of a scholar on Godzilla. My point, which was buried in rambling, is that some spirit seems to have been offended. But which spirit and where?

My bad; I misread. But good to know you did not feel enticed by it. Now to go look up Bengali folk religions.

RCRuskin, I'm no expert in Bengali folk religions. I don't know where to start looking with that. I've heard stories about female ghosts that entice men into drowning themselves. But I didn't feel "enticed" by it. Also the hair was tied to a lock (🔒), not a ribbon.

Rajine, hair is sometimes used to cast spells on someone. That's all I really know about that.

Rajine
Well I did not really see the shadow but it was kind of huge and I was not really sure if it was hairy 🤔
I wanted to ask more from my friend who has seen it came out of me but than it will be too much of her believes 🙄

RCRuskin
Very interesting... But Godzilla? I need to look that up.
Shintoism actually is very different depending on the era of the history. Modern Shintoism is very different from Shintoism during the 30's and the 40's... So I am not too sure. Also, Ainu Shintoism is also very different than the Shintoism of the Yamato (Mordern Japanese people) ones the history background is completely different but praying for peace and wealth and things like that did not change for both. Just the difference of Kami and Kamui, and just my personal thought, Ainu Shintoism might be a lot more ancient. 😲
I am not saying that the points of view from Godzilla is wrong, but that kind of make me think that it is just a story structure to make Godzilla much more supernatural and scary... Correct me if I am wrong.

I recently saw Godzilla Minus One, and it suddenly got me interested in the 'meaning' of Godzilla. And how Western cultures treat Godzilla differently than the Japanese do. Maybe something of what I learned applies? I'll let others judge.

To those who practice Shinto, Godzilla is a kami no keshinai: a Kami in flesh. The word kami might be translated as god, but that would not be exactly accurate. According to the writer/director of G - 1, his version of Godzilla is the incarnation of all those killed in war. Others consider Godzilla to be the incarnation of those killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

So, I don't know what you did. If you don't, how could we? But if you did upset some spirit, it might be a good idea to make such amends as you are able. Speaking with a priest might help.

Hi, Neanderthunder. And I go with what Rajine said. It certainly is an interesting situation. One certainly does not expect to see a female, or any gender, figure sitting on the water. The lock of hair tied with a ribbon brings to my mind some kind of folk religion perhaps. Someone trying to bless or curse someone. Do you know anything about the cultures that existed in Bangladesh in the past?

Spiritual, supernatural it's definitely an experience, but I wonder why whatever spirit it was would say that it'll make you pay for what you did...

That experience must have been unnerving to say the least, I wonder why though

Hi Rajine,

To Ellie, this was the first time she had ever experienced paranormal activities which caused her to be traumatized. I don't know if it's with the land, hotel, an object, or the family itself yet.
To me, this is the first time where I have experienced paranormal activities knowing it's not nothing but something and how dangerous it is.

That could be a resident or passing spirit, but the hair on ribbon raises a lot of questions, especially why it was in a pond.

Is this the first time something like this happened, or is/has it been happening for a very long time? But these experiences are baffling and creepy.

Ginger, I believe we ALL get SPECIAL signs to comfort us from our departed Loved ones. I can give you an excellent example. Myself.
I was married to the MOST WONDERFUL man for close to 33 years, & I lost him due to a catastrophic illness. I was in a pit of depression such as I've never known could exist before. John was always very fond of Sparrows. They were his favorite bird. He thought they were the cutest little birds. He enjoyed observing them often when he could.
About 3 months after his departing, I was out on the balcony of the apartment smoking. He was on my mind, of course. I missed him so very much, & was hoping for some kind of sign that he knew how I felt, & that he was alright. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a little sparrow hopped onto my balcony. It began fluttering it wings, & dancing around, & chirping for me. It was so cute. It, then, hopped over to me, & landed on the toe of my shoe, but it kept on singing, looking up [at] me, & fluttering for me. It, then, hopped off. It did some more dancing, & chirping for me, then it flew off of the balcony. The entire encounter was about 10 minutes long.
I felt an incredible sense of peace, & calm satisfaction. I knew it was my John letting me know he knew my feelings, & was alright now.
Call me crazy if you like, but I just 'knew' it was him. A couple months after that I had a spiritual visitation from him. I posted that account on this site. You may want to read it if you get the chance, but, like I said, I do believe that our departed loved ones find a way to let us know that they are always with us, & aware of what's going on with us. Only they are, now, in another dimension. A much better place. I, still, feel he's with me in times of uncertainty, & difficulty to encourage me to keep me going.
This was a lovely story you posted. I believe your grandmother did get a sign from her sister. I'm sure it gave her much comfort.
Again, a beautiful read, & thanks for posting it!

All the Best! ❤ ❤

ChaosGaming, sparkay may not know what tt is. Also given that nothing is on your profile to indicate where one might see it (example: this is my channel on YouTube: blah blah blah. Or See my stuff on TickTock: [at] ____) for all anyone knows your some spammy thing they'd rather not be involved with. After all the wise don't agree blindly.

Hey I'd like to repost your story on tt do you think you'd be ok with that?

Hi Twilight1011!

You surely made a possibility to consider about. It could be that is one of the reasons too for that place to have a spirit. Maybe it is connected to the land somehow? Maybe something (could be anything) is in that land and hotel which makes it stay there?

Thank you for taking your time and reading it! I appreciate it!

Rajine
Sorry, was on a trip. Hopefully I will be able to post a new story soon.

True that. Now, that I remember I was having strange dreams that I always jumped up and for gets what it was but I felt that my grandmother was in the dream was saying something about my father. Yes, I texted my father for that, alittle "Wow" now that I think about it, and I wish to remember what I dreamt about.

That's definitely interesting. As for any suggestions, I realize when it comes to trying to think of any possibilities, that may help shed some light on this situation, that some of us seem to forget (mainly meaning me) that a person doesn't exactly have to die, at the location they are haunting. I've also learned that if a person has an attachment to the place etc, then despite not dying there, they can still end up there in the afterlife. I guess like how some are able to be attached to specific item's etc, they may have been very attached too. I'm not saying that this is the case, but since I couldn't help but have that thought come to mind, I thought it was worth mentioning at least. I don't know how you would be able to find out, if that's possibly the case here though 🤔

Hi Linjahaha!

Thank you for your reply and thoughts. I never considered whether it was connected to the land or what existed there before the hotel was built, and that's a point to think about. After reading your reply, I tried to dig further, but found no records like that. Maybe it is not available to the general public? Maybe there was some serious tragedy that took place there because I can tell the spirit did not have good intentions and wasn't planning on leaving.

There are so many "maybes" and "what ifs" going through my mind and my friend's mind that we cannot decide what it was. Ellie is doing alright. Still paranoid and always on guard every single moment. Thanks for the warm hope for her.

Thank you 😊

Dear Jess, This IS a head-scratcher. If you didn't find some kind of background on the hotel itself, it's just possible that it's connected to the land. Who knows what was there before the hotel existed? Is it possible that there are graves that were never noted, or recorded? Or did a terrible tragedy occur there that, likewise, was possibly never noted, or even, covered up long ago?
It certainly is something to ponder about. I admit. This was a scary, albeit, highly interesting account you have here. I hope your friend is alright now!

All the Best! 😲 😊

Lost: Just a little addendum to my original comment about your account.
I'm willing to bet that after you told your team leader what you encountered, he 'may' have chided you, but, truth be told, you probably rattled his cage a bit. Seeing a man that you never met, & conversing with him nonetheless.
You probably left him more than a little shook. Just my 2 cents here!

The Very Best! 😁 😁

Hi Lost-soul

I to believe that the world (supernatural and not) are kept in balance between the good and bad.

It's sad what happened to that guy, a stressful work environment is the worst thing anyone can face, but it's good that you left while you could.
I believe that sometimes it's other coworkers that make for a toxic work environment.

[at] WIL1974 Greetings! I really enjoyed this experience!

I was very freaked out, yet intrigued when you described the appearances of the ghosts that you saw.

After reading your encounter I checked out a few YouTube videos of this place. One particular video featured a "medium" exploring the area around the Garthright house and she kept seeing several spirits, but mostly a little girl that was hanging around the area immediate of the house.

That said, I have to ask you... The path that you walked to so that you could relive yourself right before you saw the two ghosts, was it a path off into the woods or was it a path leading behind the Garthright House? I was just trying to get a good visual of the area you had your encounter.

It has been several years since any activity on this story so I hope that maybe you would hop on here again sometime soon. I'd sure love to hear more about this!

Dear Lost: I honestly think your encounter was a possible warning for you not to let yourself get overwhelmed, or overworked.
Like you mentioned in your account. It was a toxic environment. Look what it did to THAT man. It seems he was well-intended in trying to prevent the same fate happening to you.
It was a wise move to leave there. Good read!

The Best! 😊 😊

I worked in a call center once, a place I call "toilet paper" for reasons, but I won't name the actual company. Having worked on multiple projects, I have found that it is not the call center environment itself that is stressful. It is being stuck between customers and whatever client's really stupid processes.

Knowing your coworkers are going to help you out makes the job much easier, but still can't escape the client.

So, to your experience: Was it cold the entire time you were doing your after call work?

That could be a possibility, everything does happen for a reason, I believe that there's always a higher power out there pulling the strings and working in mysterious ways.

Rajine
OK... 🤔
Maybe it makes sense now
Not saying that it is kind of too "coincidence-y" but maybe the beings around me wanted me to help out my father? 🤔

Blosomes
I think you were meant to meet the yuta, going by your previous story regarding your dad and grandmother, the extra spirit encounters were just an added bonus, depending on how you feel about it.

Rajine
Well, going to Okinawa was a plan 😳
But not meeting Yuta and experiencing spirits 😁
Hmm... 🤔 I am not too sure if I will attract any spirits though

To clarify, my grandmother was notoriously known for her style of hats she would get a hat at every place she could, I recently looked back on old photos of her and in a lot of photos of her from her younger years she was wearing the same red floral bucket hat as the figure from the story. I have shown my daughter pictures of my grandmother hoping she would recognize her but unfortunately all my daughter can make out is the statement hat over a shadow like figure and can't make out the face or hair

Hey Rajine, this happened about 15 years ago my daughter is now 16 it's been at around the same time once every year since she was 7 I believe

Hi again blosomes

Well it stands to reason that by going to Okinawa and specifically the spot where the Banyan tree is, you probably attracted some of the local resident spirits there.

Rajine
Indeed, I know that eastern cultures old trees and big trees stands an important position, not surprised if banyan trees are the same.
Hard to explain but I kind of feel like it is not the "normal" spirits that I experienced in the past.

Hi blosomes

Banyan trees have a deep rooted (literally and figuratively) importance in Eastern cultures with many stories and spirits attracted/attached to it, I think it could be the kijimuna, I mean I don't think animals can sing nursery rhymes, but I'm not to certain about crying noises though, perhaps a spirit was just adding acoustics to the nursery rhyme singing.

Linjahaha
Thanks! I was not able to completely believe in her 100% but I am sure that she has something special

RCRuskin
Interesting hey?
I contacted the Yuta to ask for her opinion but she says it is better no to ask anything yet 🤔 Yet?

blosomes: What the yuta told you to impart to your Father had great significance for him. Personally.
It gave him comfort. I think that lady was quite psychic, & told you exactly what was necessary to help your Dad, & possibly convince you she was genuine. Another good account here!

Take Care! 😊 😊

It is definitely something. Foot steps could only be seen on the balcony if there was something to receive the impressions of footfalls. This is why flour is often sprinkled on floors to pick up footsteps. Do wish you had some video of the banyan tree waving around in the nonexistent breeze.:)

Rajine
It's up.
And you know, I am a person who needs to see everything in order to believe in such... Well, yea its up anyway

Linjahaha
Thanks for commenting!
Well if they are spiritual there is a chance that I could not see them because I am not channeled to see them right? I know that part but we see no trace and it was not only me who have experienced such

blosomes: I know that many places in the region are extremely spiritual. It's hard to comment on exactly WHAT it is. I'm positive wild cats are unable to sing a nursery song. This is perplexing, but a very good read. I hope someone far more informed than I can answer your questions. Good luck!

Take Care! 😊 😊

You're welcome blosomes

You know I think that sometimes there actually might be a shred of truth regarding certain urban legends (there's no smoke without a fire and all that)

But I will say that I'm very interested in reading your latest experience.

Rajine
Thanks again!
Another case happened when I was in Okinawa,
I was thinking too to write about a tree with spirts too. But it was kind too "urban legend-y" 🙄 Anyhow, I might post it though. 😁

Have a sad update on this, the family that moved in was/is still there to this day, this has been torture living in the house for them. I ended up taking a trip up with a few friends whatever's there still remembers me, but to move onto the sad part nothing paranormal (I hope) the youngest child of there's has recently died of cancer.

Having spoke to the family on Thursday (27th June) there is currently plans for a gofundme to pay funeral costs. I have agreed in principle to buy back the property for what I sold it to the council for sadly I can't go over that as I lack the funds to do so, but it should still be enough for them to move.

I think so as well, it's never to late to heal, whether it's in this life or the afterlife.

I was around 14 or 15 years old when I experience this weird phenomenon. We stayed in a three bedroom home. My sister's and I shared a room, My brothers room was to the left of our room and the bathroom was straight across from the girls room. If you walk out of the girls room to the right that was the living room and kitchen area. One night me and my mom was in the girls room trying to help me with a school project. I can't give details on what the conversation was in the room with me and my mom but I know once we were done she left out to get the final item from her room so she walked out of the room to the right. 5 seconds later I decided to go to the bathroom but before I could even get out my room, A Huge big shadow dog with white teeth and red eyes came from out of my brothers room from the left straight towards me leaping in the air at me, I put my hand up and screamed when I looked back it was gone! When my mom came back in I told her she wasn't going to believe me when I told her what just happened to me and why she heard me scream. The crazy thing is I never seen it again. It was a black dog but the back half was more shadow, It had red eyes, sharp white teeth! No one I knew of died around that time. Now that I am 38 years old I wonder why I even seen that animal? Why was it coming out of my brother room? Was it a spirit that attached to me? I only told my mom this story! Now I am searching for answers and meanings of what it could have been

Kathyf: I am not sure what was on the roof that your poor daughter witnessed, but I think I am pretty confident in surmising that something very paranormal was going on in that house.
Who knows what went on in the house, or on the property before you even moved in.
I, too, am glad that you, & your family got out of there. My late husband, & I lived in a very haunted house for 4 years, & we left a vapor trail behind us when we moved out. I understand. Very scary, but interesting read!

Take Care! 😊 😊

Good Day,
I have to agree with the others, this sounds like classic poltergeist behavior. I'm wondering if there is something the former co-worker wanted or needed done. These things are "attention-getters"
Best,
Rob
P.S. Having grown up with Hans Holzer, this is where I get the Poltergeist notion.

Wow, that is a scary situation, I would have moved out quickly too! I'm not being a smart alec, but my first thought was that it sounds like what they call a chupacabra, or some other kind of animal spirit.

Wow what an experience.
I use to have my live in Brazil and just once when I came back from a bar I smelt beasts in my own room, back then I thought was my house cat but I was touched and had a paws like mark on my back... Lucky you and hope nothing else happened.

Roy E. Lynx (blosomes)

Rajine
Thanks and that made my day 😊
Well I feel that is more about my father than my grandmother. But you know, it's a problem between the 2 so I rather not go too deep.

Animals can see things that we cannot, I've had a few experiences of unexplained foul odours myself, I was told that it means there was a very dirty and evil entity present (mind you this happened a long way before the conjuring came out) it's a good thing you and your family left before anything bad happened, God only knows what must have happened in that house.

That would scare anyone, myself included, I've heard a few supernatural stories over the years involving spirits turning into flames. It's hard to say exactly what it was that you experienced perhaps if you know the history of that place and if someone had died there.

Her last memory was sad, but at least now through you, your grandmother and dad have a second chance to make it right and I feel that's a good thing.

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." Mark Twain.

Some situations just do not have a logical explanation.

Hey there, your stories are quite haunting. I was wondering if you've had paranormal experiences for most of your life? I have never had anything as extreme as this happen to me, but I definitely feel presences and past lives in particular places.

I am actually working on a short film in Dhaka in a couple of weeks, and I was thinking of doing a short ghost story. I'm from Melbourne so I have no idea what Dhaka city is like or if there are some particularly haunted areas? Id love to hear from you.

Welcome to YGS.

This is an intriguing story.
In my country, Mexico, some people believe that witches have the ability to turn into balls of fire and fly through the skies.
Are you aware of a similar belief within your culture?

A possible logical explanation could be spontaneous human combustion, in which a person burst into flame for no apparent reason. Though rare, there are some documented cases of this phenomenon.

Thanks for sharing this unnerving experience.

Rajine
You right.
I still do not know what my grandmother and my father fought about but what I know and sure is right about is that words are like fallen leaves of a tree... Ones fallen it's gone and will remain out of the tree.
Heartbreaking to know that my grandmother's last memory was sorrowful 😢 but I kind of felt that grandmother needed me to pass my fathers true words to her...

Hi blosomes

It seems that the yuta did know what she was talking about after all, logically it's expected that we should love our family because they're family, but sometimes stuff happens and families get broken and divided. That's the difference between logic and emotion, logic tells us to do what's expected while emotion tells us to do what we feel is right. And from what I've read, you didn't know about the story of your dad and grandma up until the point of meeting the yuta and speaking to your dad.

It also seems that the ainu and other spirits are quite taken by you.

Hi there
I think it's your grandmother's way of letting everyone know that she's around and checking in on your'll, but how long ago did this happen and how old is your daughter if you don't mind me asking, and at what age did she first notice this woman she talks about.

Hi sp00ky.

It's possible that the shadow was your grandmother. Did she use to wear hats?

Have you shown your daughter pictures of your grandmother? If so, does she recognise her as the person who visits her?

In my opinion, your grandmother is not necessarily "haunting" your family, since this would imply an unfinished business on her part, I think these have been visitations and she's showing that she cares for you all even if she isn't around in this plane of existence.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi sp00kystickbug

Yes from your experience this spirit does not seem hostile or menacing at all and I do believe that sometimes spirits can be guides or guardians.

And I know what you mean when you say that when you talk about your experiences and no one will believe you.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I can see why you would feel that way and draw comparisons between you and your cousins similar situations, being alone and the light blowing out and so on... It's ok to be scared but you have to believe that the same thing isn't going to happen to you.

I know how you feel when you lose someone close to you but I like to think that our loved ones are always with us.

Hi KenS80--Yeah, it might very well be me who's haunted! Luckily, this tapping has become much less frequent. It seems like the spirit (or whatever it is) has lost interest as I've become used to its repertoire. When I hear it now, I'm able to roll over and go back to sleep.

Hello guys my name is Anthony I am from Nashville tn, and the other night I was throwing something away in the dumpster And I saw a man in a brown suit with a brown top hat. It was dark outside but the street light was on right above it, my apartment is one building and it is to the right of my building. It has cars parked parallel along side it. As I was throwing something away I saw out the corner of my eye a man in a brown suit leaning up against the wall with one leg bent. Once I turned to get a full look it was gone but I know what I saw!

May I suggest a google search of "alien big cats/ Phantom Cats" apparently your not alone in your experience. Hopefully it brings some sense of validation

I am far from knowing of these matters, I also think your wife is onto something there Manafon1.

Cheers,
KentS

Sry 4 your loss bbg this is a really sad story, I am sending prayers your way ❤ ❤

"when my cousin died the light from the ceiling fell on her, we are not sure if it electrocuted her."

And I'm sure an autopsy had to be performed on the body, and the pathologist would had to inform their findings and the cause of death.

Also, it's hard to imagine that a heavy light fixture would be installed carelessly and without taking into consideration it's weight and the strength of the structure holding it. I'm sure your family can file a lawsuit against the builders of the house.

Would you mind to describe your cousin's bathroom and the size of the light fixture?

Hey everyone thank you for all the comments ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you for your linjahaha, when my cousin died the light from the ceiling fell on her, we are not sure if it electrocuted her. Thanks 😁

Hey Rajine,

Thats what I was thinking! She didn't seem hostile, and I haven't seen her since, but I'll update if I do!

G Bozzy: This is an interesting, & amusing account. My grandma came to visit me for the entire 7 years I was married to my first husband.
She actually scared the crap out of him. Of the which I was quite glad that she did because he kept calling me wacky whenever I tried to discuss paranormal matters with him. Grandma taught him a lesson, & I am since divorced from him.
After the divorce grandma quit visiting. I think the visits were her way of trying to warm me that Bill was no good for me.
I met John, my 2nd husband. A wonderful man. Unfortunately I am widowed now, but we had almost 33 years of happiness together. He does visit me now, & then, but ONLY in times of great emotional stress, & need. Other than that, I know he is in a much better, & wonderful place.
The 'ol grandma' you refer to may have been a former resident of the house you were residing in. She was watching over you, & your kids, but wanted you to be a bit neater that you were. Hence, she got your attention by knocking items over. She definitely did get your attention to form a better habit, lol!
This was a fascinating account, but it seems to have been a helpful one in the long run. Very good read!

Take Care! 😁 😁

Hi, A stoney, & welcome to YGS. This is a perplexing account. I'm not discounting the possibility that it is your relative. However, my question is, also, did the light fixture fall on her, or fall in the tub, thus electrocuting her? Is it possible she is possibly giving you a warning that something similar could happen to you?
It's something to ponder about I grant you, but it was an interesting read, & thanks for sharing it!

Best Wishes! 😊 😊

Welcome to YGS. I'm sorry for your loss.

Meaning no offense nor disrespect for your cousin's sad accident but, could you elaborate more about the light fixture causing her death?
Was it a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling or was it something smaller or even a light bulb, or a free standing lamp that fell into the bathtub?

"Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom the lights start flickering"

Does this happen only to you? Has an electrician checked the wiring?

I don't discard the possibility of your cousin trying to communicate with you though, in my opinion, it's not a good thing if your grief is preventing her from moving on to the light.
Do you know if her direct family has experienced any disturbances after her passing?
If you, and her, practice any religion, it would be a good idea to offer a service with the intention or her eternal rest.

Thanks for sharing
