Ghost stories comments: Page 6

Were you awake when you felt like your soul was being "taken"? And do you know where it was taken to? I don't understand how that happened especially if you were awake anyway... Whatever that was, I wonder what it wanted you to give.

D.D.: You do say the same thing all around the circle of the person lying on the floor.
How did it feel? Strange, is the only word I can use. She lifted effortlessly, but "I" didn't feel 'anything' static going on.
She, quite literally, floated beyond our fingers to the ceiling. I 'think that' is what truly freaked us out.
I'm just glad that she didn't get hurt when she fell from that height. I hope this answers some of your questions!

Take care! 😊 😊

Hey there. I just wanted to say that I'm a Bangladeshi kid as well. So I would highly recommend reciting surah Baqarah in the house. Just try it for at least a day. InshaAllah whatever was whispering, good or bad will stop its activities.

Welcome to YGS. The monster/ghost under the bed got cold too, I suppose.

I'm just wondering, since I do not see this addressed in your experience, how do you know it was not your dad? Was he ought of town, perhaps.

Hi Tweet!
Thanks for that, I was going to remain myself, so it's ok 😊
I love to read all kinds of comments, except those meaningless ones seen in other people's story, I am glad it had not happen to me yet 🙄

Lady Glow your poor grandmother. 😢
What a bitter sweet experience she had. It seems like she allowed it to help her with loss in the future. I'm so sorry she had to experience any of that at all.

Hi Roy,

Sorry you're having a bad time, and it's ok to be emotional. I had a similar experience to yours when my cat passed away. I don't know if it's related or what it would mean, but it's interesting that it happened all the same. Anyway don't feel bad for feeling strong emotions, nothing wrong with that.

Linjahaha your story resonates with me because I also work in the healthcare field. When I was a freah grad nurse, I was working in a nursing home and I too have some good experiences with the residents. This resident always love it when I work because I tend to be more empathic and genuinely care for this resident. She was very sick though with cancer so she also passed away on my off day. It makes me wonder on how similar your experience is mine. It's like they waited for us to be on our off days before they moved on to next life, probably because they wouldn't want us to be sad on that very moment? Anyway I love your story. I always like stories from hospitals or nursing homes. God bless.

😕 hmm...
I see a confused fool here... I don't even want to greet that fool with a name...
Lady Glow, you do not have to put any effort dealing with that. Believe in the Mods.
This story is well written and should be read by more people. There maybe negative comments but those are not worth taking care of, they just need some good research and a heart to respect others.

talib - exactly which site rules do you believe this story to be breaking? And why do you believe so?

"instead of answering my doubts about your story you conveniently ignored them and criticized my (YOUR?!?!? Ha, ha, ha!) comments"

IF you want to be taken seriously, start by acting serious... You didn't just "used a part of comments of CantunSEEit74", you plagiarized the whole thing without making the proper changes, but as a token for the much you made me laugh with 'YOUR' comment I'm going to help you with the math, out of my 16 stories, 12 are my own experiences and 4 have happened to a close family member, as opposed to the poster you're talking about: 17 stories, 6 his and 11 from someone else.

"seems you got quiet flustered tasting your own medicine of nitpicking on stories from India."

Nah...if anything, I almost spat out my milk and took me a long time to control my laughter...thanks, you made my day!

And since you seem to be so interested on finding holes in my story, here are some facts about it's background.

My Grandmother was borne in 1904, I'm not sure of the exact date when she got married, but she was in her early 20's, then my little aunt was born some time before the "Cristero War" broke in 1926.

Https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerra_Cristera

The family was living in Mexico City but, since it wasn't a safe place, my grandmother and the baby went to live to a small community in the Hidalgo state whilst my grandfather stayed behind due to his job.

Https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/portales/constituciones_hispanoamericanas/imagenes_mapas/imagen/imagenes_mapas_06-mexico_mapa_de_los_estados/

The war lasted from 1926 to 1929, and some time after things were back, or close, to normal, my grandmother and her daughter went back to Mexico City to join my grandfather. The times were tough and the little girl got sick and passed away around 1930.

As you can see or, should I say, if you want to see, the time frame makes sense and explains why the girl was an only child for such 'a long time'.

If you have any more questions don't be shy and ask... I don't promise to answer right away because it's time for me to sleep and will be busy tomorrow.

[at] lady-glow instead of answering my doubts about your story you conveniently ignored them and criticized my comments, ad hominem fallacy (google it for more information), seems you got quiet flustered tasting your own medicine of nitpicking on stories from India.

I only used a part of comments of CantunSEEit74 as it perfectly fits your post, my comments is not breaking any rules, don't know why mods have removed it.
On the other hand your story is breaking YouGhostStories site rules and should be removed, are the mods reading?

I deleted Talib's comment. Lady-glow, personally I don't find fault with either yours or Cant's comment, and am letting them stand. To quote from the Comments Guidelines, "... To keep a certain level of maturity and civility on this site, moderators may delete comments that are deemed too juvenile, inappropriate or troublesome, to their discretion." Neither of yours fall under any of those. Talib's comment on the other hand not only hit all three reasons but underscored them... To attempt to plagiarize another poster's comment to criticize a story - is beyond childish. To do so just to try and cause trouble is both inappropriate and troublesome. I'm so sorry you had to bear his idiotic attempt at maligning you, lady-glow.

It seems Talib was more interested in leaving a negative comment instead of reading and understanding the last paragraph of a well written story. Thanks for sharing Lady-glow. Dick move Talib.

Hi Talib.

Wow! Do you really need to plagiarize other poster's comments to criticise my story... You should have, at least, made an effort and fix the math.

"CantunSEEit74____+2___4 weeks ago

On the first page of this site, it states share your ghost story. YOUR GHOST STORY, YGS. YOUR! Not everyone else's stories. There are many Immediate family stories here that are shared but do you really feel anybody should have over 10 stories that they were not present at or did not witness themselves. That person should join this site and participate in the discussions and share their stories."

You are funny... In a not exactly fun way. LOL

Mods, please delete if inappropriate.

They are, Lady Glow. Beef stew is probably the best dish in history. My opinion anyway.

But this story is very touching.

I am glad I am reading this at my home alone... I can't stop crying... 😭

Lady-glow
Oh, I did not realize that...
Sorry for the confusion... I meant there my friend's uncle...

You know, sometime not only people bonded with blood worth to cry for... May be I am just a very emotional person... I even cried during a street cleaner (city cops?) 's open funeral in Brazil few years ago...
Maybe too local? There were a street gang gun fight and the "street cleaner" got shot... I wonder why that had not been a big news like any other gun shot, gun kill cases... It was really sad...

Hi guys.

Thanks for reading my story and for commenting on it.

RCRuskin: once cooked, onions are yummy.

Spooderman: except for one, all of my grandmother's children are in heaven now. No pun intended.

Rajine: thanks for reading.

Hi Roy.

I wonder what's the outlook these people have about mourning and grieving at funerals, specially for men and/or people not related to the deceased person.

I got confused about your relationship to this man, first you say:

"My friend's uncle passed away"
"my friend's uncle was like a middle person"

But in your comment is "my uncle's death was so sudden"

So, was he your uncle or your friend's uncle?

Regardless of the answer, this is a puzzling experience.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Rajine!
I have not spoken to anyone else since my uncle's death was so sudden and everyone was not in "the mood to communicate" 😕
Well, I was going to ask my aunt about it but... You know timing

It's generally believed that when we lose a loved one, we mourn and we try to come to terms with it, and that living in sorrow and grief prevents the soul from moving on to where it needs to go, or in some instances, something else, malevolent, mimics or pretends to be the departed soul, preying on the grief of the ones who cannot let go.

Hi blosomes

I'm not sure about the tradition of your grandmother's tribe, but I do know certain cultures do put a shroud over the deceased face or even cover the whole body in a white funeral shroud, but perhaps this particular incident has another meaning.

You asked your sister about it, did she give you a answer? And have you spoken to anyone else about it as well?

Hi Alexandra

Losing a loved one is tragic, no matter how much time passes by there's always going to be void, an emptiness that cannot be filled. But I think that, even though you cannot see and speak to them, they're still around watching over you and your son.

I think I have cut up too many onions for the beef stew tonight.

Or maybe it is this story.

Alexandra: I assure I was wide awake when the incident happened. I don't expect you to believe it as I know it sounds incredible. However, I know what I experienced, & I got great assurance, & comfort from it.
You're right about wanting them to move on the better place, & not being stuck here. I know "I" wanted my husband to stay, but that would be selfish of me. He deserves to be in a 'better' place. I take comfort in the knowledge that I will join him someday. 'That' awaits us all. However, I feel it is actually a continuation of life in a different realm!

My Very Best to You! 😊 😊

Thank you Lady-Flow!
I ran into this site accidentally. And I love reading all kinds of wonderful stories here. I take every free moment to read them, especially before I go to bed, and yours are the next ones I'm going to read.:)
I always knew physical death was just a rebirth, but I am curious to know why some people leave us so early. I hope everything happens for a reason, still unknown to us. <3

Linjahaha thank you for trying to console me and sharing your experience with me!
I watched about those cases when people talked with souls via mediums or were sent messages from another world via them, but I never truly believed in that kind of thing.
The story you told is believable somehow but I can't even imagine how that is possible since the only signs I got were related to the lights, some sounds, or unusual events.
My brother visited me in my dreams, we talked and he told me nothing hurts him anymore, he's alright but beyond this, nothing else happened.
I can't possibly think of your experience without wondering if you maybe have an extraordinary sense, maybe you're gifted or you were in a state of trance when all that happened. Is your memory of that event blurred or clear? Was it happening in our physical world or it all played out inside your consciousness without visible effects in ''our'' world?

As for my mom, she started reading books related to those experiences like yours, and the first book she read was ''Life After Life'' by Michael Newton. I know he is very famous in your country for his work on this topic. Anyway, here we have some people who graduated from the Michael Newton Institute and opened their clinics here. They are regression therapists and my mom scheduled an appointment already. She strongly believes that her son and she are connected in a strange kind of way and she thinks they were together in past lives too, so she thinks there is a certain kind of relationship between the two of them and hopes she can discover their karma, at least, some tiny indications of it. She feels a bit relieved right now, but the moments of grief and disbelief are always coming back to us. It is only 6 months now that my brother's gone. I suppose that a lot more time needs to pass so we can accept the fact he is no longer with us. Her balcony light went on all by itself last night, and she started talking with the flickering light on the balcony. Whenever it starts blinking she starts talking with Aljosa. We read their souls can affect the electricity in a certain kind of way and cause the light bulbs to start flickering. Anyway, wherever my dad and Aljosa are now, I would like them to do their things, and continue their journey, I wouldn't like them to stay captured here and look after us. That would be too selfish. I hope they will keep their way and that we'll see each other again. Maybe the length of our life is just a blink of an eye for them since they say time doesn't exist from their point of view.:)

Rajine,

A little correction here...

In India too we avoid carrying meat-related food items at night, and if it's necessary then we try Not to go to abandoned places or deserted roads. If still got no choice, then many of us put chilies just as you said or try different things according to different beliefs.

Hello CrimsonTopaz,

Nice to know that you enjoyed reading the experience. Thank you. One thing I'm pretty sure about is it wasn't any human intruder. AND I don't have any interest in going there and seeing by myself which entity could have been there that night. Honestly, after that incident, I don't dare to even think about going there.

I'm sorry.

I know it's been a long time but I'm really sorry for your grandma's loss. I'm sure that all the children are in heaven now. So they truly are in a better place. ❤️

Hello Rajine,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, In India too we avoid carrying meat-related food items at night, and if it's necessary then we try to go to abandoned places or deserted roads.

The reason Amit asked us to keep our cigarettes with us is exactly the same as you stated.

(I do wonder how the food delivery guys handle these things. 🤔)

Hello, Spooderman (haha, I loved the name),

I don't know what that entity was... Just an angry spirit or a djinn. What I agree with you is Deep shouldn't have thrown the chicken piece in that direction and also shouldn't have abused, cursed it. The way our friends fainted and had panic attacks was very spooky.

Well, on the other hand, it is a lesson too to how not to make an entity angry.

Bienvenida a YGS.

Hi Alexandra.

What an interesting set of experiences!
I agree with the previous posters' opinions regarding all of these events like signs of your loved ones still sticking around. It's so comforting to know that physical death is not the end of love.

Thanks for sharing.

Alexandra, I meant to express to you how 'very sorry' I am for your loss. I fully understand.
As for your mother, her grief 'could' be what is preventing her from receiving any messages from him. It's just possible.
After I lost my darling husband, I was grieving so severely. I never knew the human body could hold so much water as all the tears I cried. I talked often to my sister-in-law, Beth. She was the last remaining immediate member of her family. John 'visited' her a little over a month before he came to me. She told me about it. He wanted to make some things right between them that happened before he passed on. I was a bit jealous because I thought he should've come to 'me' first. However, Beth explained that my extreme grieving was putting up a wall of sorts that he couldn't penetrate. She told me that she was exhausted, & totally relaxed the night he came to her. She believed that in 'that' state-being completely void of thoughts/relaxed, that he 'could' appear to her then.
I was so conflicted, & saddened about it all. It took 3 more months. I went to bed one night, absolutely exhausted, & not able to even 'think' anymore. I was still 'awake' however, when John came through. He put his arm around me in bed-I jumped up-he got up-we embraced-kissed-I held him in my arms again. Incredible feeling. He turned the light on, & we sat on the edge of the bed, & talked for about 4, or 5 minutes. He told me I would be alright, & that he loved me. He said he had to leave. I didn't want him to go, but he said he was alright now, & "I" will be alright. Then he disappeared. I sat on the edge of the bed in a lighted room by myself staring [at] the spot he sat in. I cried, but they were tears of joy. I felt so peaceful, & very comforted after that.
Give your dear mom time to calm down. She may get a sign from him yet, or enjoy the kind of spiritual visitation that I did. It was a truly wonderful encounter, I assure you!

The Very, Very Best
To You! ❤ ❤

[at] Rajine Yes, they were so close, my brother loved my son too much, and that is the most devastating thing I had to face, the fact he won't be present in my son's growing up.

[at] Linjahaha Thank you, I believe they are, especially if they could see the state of us, they are maybe trying to get to us and convince us they're ok. My mom is taking all this very hard, but the things that happened to me never happened to her, maybe they can't reach her because of the extreme pain she is going through... Thank you, I strongly believe in your words!

[at] Tweed Thank you! I believe they can do some weird things too! It happened to my husband that the little toy water gun he was playing with while being out with my son, flew off the top of the nearby wall where he rested it. And, it didn't only fall but flew through the air some meters away, like it was thrown. And, that happened right on my birthday... I like to think the little heart my son picked was the first and my favorite sign my brother gave to us... As for the light, I didn't have time to analyze it. It all happened too fast, I just remember the flashes were so quick and powerful and it wasn't like our normal house light. It was so natural, nothing artificial, and it was so white. Like I said, just like the light of lightning. 😊

[at] RCRuskin Thank you... I don't think you're just rambling! I used to watch different videos too, and the one that proponents of the theory of quantum physics offer I didn't find so appealing, since I'm scared a bit of the fact that everything has been already predestined, even though, in depth of my being, I believe we have no power to change anything at least inside this body and mind.:) Everything is a perfect sequence of causes and effects and we can't change our being or brain to be able to change our reactions, this is something we were born with. Maybe when we reach those heights of our souls, then we will be able to change this ''reality''. I also watched different sorts of videos (inspired by true events), and I came upon the notion our souls need those particular experiences on Earth, so they choose the future life and the body in which to incarnate... Another fact in favor of the claim that nothing is accidental...

May your brother's Memory be Eternal.

I mean, the toy heart could just be coincidence, but I was watching this science oriented video channel on YouTube recently and the topic was interesting. At least to me.

So we know the mathematics of particle motions and interactions. Quantum Mechanics introduces some uncertainty, but let us for the moment assume we have perfect knowledge of all particles, even those weird quantum ones. Knowing all this, we could do the math though it would take quite a lot of computing power, and know every possible future and past state of the whole universe.

So, at that moment in that amusement park, your disappointed son just grabbed one stuffed heart, and it happened to be that one. Coincidence? Fate? The inevitable result of all these particle interactions? Maybe I'm just rambling feverishly?:)

I think the important thing, if you made it this far, is that it did happen, and I don't think it was quite so random.

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I agree the souls of our loved ones can make themselves known in all sorts of interesting ways. There have been a few encounters of alarms being changed on here. It seems to be a way some loved ones like to show they're still around. From what you've said in your narrative it sounds like your brother likes to show he's around.

The word 'coincidence' can really get in the way of something beautiful sometimes. Sure I believe in coincidences but when it comes to something like what happened at the fishing game, well hmm. Sounds like something a lot more than just a coincidence.😉

I was very interested in the light flashes you described as I have encountered similar. A flash of light on the side of a house or tree I can relate to. Like an entire object will light up momentarily and then everything returns to normal. It's interesting that the light never illuminates any other surrounding objects like one would expect. I'm happy to read someone else has encountered this too.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Pelatiah: She looked quite normal. Like she was really sitting on the couch. Except, like I mentioned, she looked so 'robust, & healthy' again. In other words, she looked like she was completely healthy, & functional. Like when I first met her. She was very able to get around on her own when we first met. Watching her decline over the years was hard. Not unlike when I was watching my darling husband, or more recently, Father, decline over the last 2-3 years. That's so very hard to see it happening. I guess my feelings run very deep. That's why I'm so easily affected. One might call me too sensitive. So be it. That's just how "I" am. It could be that part of me that makes very adept [at] the kind of work I do.
In the medical field they caution you not to get too involved with your patients on an emotional level. However, I feel if your a human being, you can't avoid having feelings for them. I'm not Einstein, but 'that's' how I feel about it.
Thank you, very much for you thoughtful comments!

Take care! 😊 😊

Alexandra: I believe that your departed loved ones 'are' trying to communicate with you. Trying to let you know in somewhat subtle ways that they are aware of your missing them.
They are letting you know they are 'still' with you, but on a much higher plane now.
I've had spiritual visitations (that is what I call them) from my late husband, & grandmother. They startled me at first, but once I realized what was happening, it gave me peace, & comfort.
I hope you feel that kind of comfort yourself, & know they 'are' still 'with' you in another form!

Very Good Read! ❤ ❤

I think that it's just your brother's and dad's way of saying that they're still around, by giving you those little signs, from what I gather your son was very close to your brother.

Kksharp,
I have a lot of dead family members. At 63, I've lost both parents, a step dad, grandparents and a husband. (I'm a woman, haha, just chose an ancestor's name for here).

When I was very young and lost my dad in Vietnam, I was fortunate to see what I can only describe as my angel. I know this as sure as I know my name, but didn't realize it until decades after the fact. One of the bits of knowledge that I feel he/she? Imparted to me is that we have to live our lives to the fullest when people we love have their own lives cut short. Those left behind should HONOR THEM and their lives by getting the very, very most out of our own, because they are living through us (in some way).

My son in law's brother took his life as a teenager and the tragedy was so great, it has haunted that family, destroyed it really. But when I first met my son in law and asked him about siblings, and he answered that he is an only child, my first reaction was, "You don't SEEM like an only child." Apparently he was stunned that I somehow knew. Ten years later, we often have the conversation that he is living his (VERY ADVENTUROUS) life to its fullest and I believe his brother is with him for it all! Anyway, please don't despair. Your father must've worked hard at his job and he would want you to live as well as you can, continue his legacy and even improve on it. Life can be tough, but you are meant for good, even great things one day because your experiences have made you all the stronger. Bless you and thanks for the interesting story. Wish I could play the guitar, I was an utter failure at it!

Linjahaha,
Such a great story and I agree with you and love your attitude and your enthusiasm for your job. You're a special person and Ruthie apparently thought so too, keep up the good work!

I love that she waved and had a smile! Did you notice at all any white glow near her, or did she look "normal" or what? Just curious.

Dear Crimson: The new resident in #115 wasn't home. He was out with his family, & didn't let us know about it, but he was alright.
Thank you for you kind words, also. It's nice to be appreciated. However, I'm doing what I really enjoy doing, & hope to do it for some time yet. Retirement? I'm too accustomed to working. I have to feel like I serve a purpose. I'm not getting rich, but I'm satisfied that I'm filling a need!

Thank You So Much Again! ❤ 😊

The.D.Soul, you don't need to apologise for your grammer. I for one am still writing from my home schooling days. I left school before I should've and wish I stayed. All that aside, I enjoyed reading about your experience.
Did you ever figure out who's footsteps you heard, whether that be of the paranormal kind or of an intruder?
Regardless, your group of friends were all there witnessing what each other saw. So no one can question the validity on that.
I think maybe an unsettled spirit myself.

Linjahaha,
What a lovely lady you must be to give your time and energy to care for others. It's a selfless act and warrants recognition. No doubt the families of the residents and the residents just Ruthie appreciate your kindness and care.
I was teary when I read Ruthie passed, I can't imagine how you felt having known her for years.
Where was the new resident from #115 that you went looking for? Who found him? Poor guy may have lost his bearings.
Thank you dearly for sharing this story with us. It was a lovely friendship you had and it obviously meant just as much to Ruthie.

Hello! I love your story! I have a spooky podcast and I'm creating an episode on ghost pets and would love to include your story. Thank you!

I feel that she presented herself to you, just to let you know that she's in a better place, you must be a very special person to her for her to reveal herself to you.

If I had to go through that last bit, I'd be out of there as quickly as possible, but it doesn't seem to be a negative spirit/s from what I have read.

Here in South Africa we also believe that lighting a cigarette or any type of flame, especially at night wards off negative entities, also swearing at it or showing anger, also we avoid moving around at night with meat and other meat related food items as it's believed to attract certain types unfriendly supernatural beings and if we absolutely have to we place a few green or dried chillies on top of the parcel.

Thanks for your reply plaza.

There's nothing wrong with doing things properly. (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕)

You needed to tell us the details and the more you tell us, the more we get what was going on.

Cheers,
Kent

Your experience is similar to my own. I was about 4 when I saw a glowing old woman in a chair. Not sure if it rocked. I just remember waking up to her staring at me by the side of my bed and I would put the covers over my head and peek through. I had no knowledge of God at the time so I didn't pray.

it's funny because when I was three in brazil I used to see a huge white bird and I couldn't sleep bc he was everywhere

To: RCRuskin, & Tweed, No I haven't seen Ruthie since that 'one' single time. That's why I fell that she just 'wanted' me to know that she appreciated me, & she was, now, alright.
I think that when someone passes on they may have an unfinished thought that they didn't get to follow through on. Just hypothesizing
Here.
My late grandma, & husband came to visit me several times after their passing. Those visits 'always' provided me with a sense of peace, & comfort.
I assure you. If they cared about you, they will 'find' a way to communicate with you, & it's nothing to be afraid of. It affirms the fact that there is more to this mortal plane of existence than what we realize!

Thanks for Reading! 😊 😊

Have you seen Ruthie after this specific encounter you related to us?

Hi Linjahaha,

It sounds like you've underestimated the positive impact you had on Ruthie. I know society tends to encourage the attitude of 'I'm just a caregiver' and 'it's just a job'. In reality the meaningful connections we make in our lives can happen in the blink of an eye and they're not always family or life long friends. Fact is you and Ruthie clicked.

I assume the checks you were doing on that day were done around the same time each day, so Ruthie would've known approximately when you'd enter the room. Sounds like she was waiting for you, which again speaks to the connection you shared.

There's been discussion on here in the past about how spirits show themselves. One theme that seems to occur more often than not is that when there's a visible apparition the ghost won't 'talk' and vice versa. That is to say a ghost may 'talk' and show themselves, but it never seems to occur simultaneously, or at least it's a very rare occurrence if it does. One theory about this is the amount of energy required to pull it off so to speak.

Ruthie waving and smiling to you may have been her way of speaking without drawing too much energy from wherever. These kinds of experiences really show how important someone was/is to another soul.

Thanks for sharing and the great work you do.

lady-glow: Thank you for your comments. I tend to agree with you here. That possibly I 'did' cross Ruthie's mind before she passed on. Possibly she just showed up long enough to let me know she's alright now. I wasn't scared by seeing her. It was actually very emotional for me. I feel flattered that she 'wanted' me to see her with that wonderful, sweet smile on her face.
I'm glad that you read, & enjoyed this account!

All the Best! 😊 😊

Hi Arturo.

Welcome to YGS and thanks for reading my story.
Our Pets have a big impact on our lives and I'm sure they come to check on us every so often. Their visitations are always a bittersweet experience.

What was the name of your previous kitty?

Hi Linjahaha.

In my opinion, it's possible that Ruthie thought of you at the moment of her passing and finally found a chance to thank you for your friendship and all the things you did for her.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us.

Hi Kent,

Sorry it a while to respond to this reply. I didn't think anyone would reply after this long.

The sexual thing, I don't know if I can call it that now. I think I covered this is my update. Just because it said it was a sexual thing in a book doesn't mean that's what it was. At the time I didn't class it as such, it was only after someone told me about this book which described what I experienced that it said what it was. I now think it was something much more specific which a spirit can produce.
Don't get me wrong, it was amazing and all that but thinking about it more deeply even more, sex isn't part of a spiritual encounter because it s a physical thing, right, in the real world. I wasn't in the real world. So I am fine calling it something else, I just don't know what to call it, all I know it was very special and I feel extremely fortunate to have had that privilege with, what should I call it...

How about, touched by Angel, no, that's not right either. This is real time stuff, I'm trying to think of a better word.

10 minutes later... I am still thinking, I got it, I had a spiritual awakening, yes that sounds more akin. A awakening that touched every cell in my body which was like nothing I've ever felt period (and since). Like it was a goodbye gift of sorts.

I never bring that book up now if anyone ever asks about this on Quora were I first submitted after staying silent for over 25 years and just last week actually, I shared this whole Lisa tale with my family, again, not some thing I've done in over 30 years. Yes mum knew about the beginning and she did help me, but nothing after that first time I was spoken to at the church.

I wish I had shared it now with mum before she died quite young at 64. But I wasn't the sharing kind back then. Mainly due to me being labelled in some way should it have gotten out of course.

But moving on, thanks for your kind words. I just wanted to put everything down in one place which I had never done before and where better than on this site for all to read. It's 100% gospel despite knowing how it reads with voice in my head or with that spiritual awakening I speak about. I know science says nope, can't be real, but I can't dismiss what was said by that first medium, that's what for me tells me this or was real. In a way, it would have been better if nothing was said by that medium, because it would have told me it was never real but somehow my brain tricking me.

But also the pub and little girl laughing. I don't care who if you are the least person alive who,doesn't believe in things like that, but if you heard what I did in that pub, there is zero chance you can say it wasn't a little girl laughing coming from the next room. No way.

So combined with the medium, the voice in my head telling me to visit that church, then again once I left the building and then a third time with this song which again, hand on heart, I had never heard before to knowing the entire song because I heard it through my head and then having conversations for easily 6 months plus the same way which once I was no longer freaked out by it, we just spoke but without talking, a kind of telepathic is the only way to describe it, without all that and I wouldn't of shared this ever.

When she took that mic and looked straight at me and said, I have a young lady here who is desperate for me to give you something, for me to hear that, knowing that's why I was asked to go, still leaves me with goose-bumps. The fact she didn't even say hi but came right at me with that, it just blows my mind end of. I don't care how many people say it's all bollox and I've called everyone of them bollox that spoke to me after that first time, because they were. That's how critical I am of myself.

I know I keep going on about it, it's just to try and let, not just you know, but everyone who reads this, I am not easily convinced of anything. So I know if was staged somehow. I even thought, how predictable would I be, to be there on a Saturday night, who is most likely to pick up in me and why would I, a young 20 something be at a church. Would I be there for maybe a dead girlfriend or wife or would I be there for a mum or grandma. But to come out with a young lady straight out like she did, I just can't imagine it being a scam medium, I just can't. She knew to much. To name my mate Martin was unbelievable who had died many years ago on a motorbike, wow, just wow and that's on top of everything else she said which was also bang on.

I do not care what anyone tells me, there's no way she knew that much about me. Even if they lied about a phone and mum called and said blah blah blah because mum didn't know about Martin. If she didn't name him I could maybe think how likely am I to of lost a friend on a motorcycle, prob 50/50 but to name shim, nah, not a chance in hell.

So again thanks for your reply and I hope you enjoyed it. It wasn't meant to be a story or novel. Trust me, I didn't mean it to go on quite so long, but I was always told, if you are going to do some thing make sure you do it properly.

Hey there [at] lady-glow and [at] the_dark_soul amchi is probably a different person. It's not the same as the Amit here. Also I thought amchi was a woman.
Anyways, just a friendly advice from someone who has ideas about what to do in similar situations. Amit made the right choice. The creature which you guys have encountered is none other than a Jinn. Jinns are known to reside in abandoned places and forests as they usually don't prefer showing themselves to humans. Now I don't understand if that particular Mr nobody was a bad Jinn or a good Jinn. I would have started reciting verses from the Quran if I knew it was bad. However, there's one rule that applies for every single being whether you feel their presence or not. It's to never harm or curse a being. If you feel scared or threatened, just call your Lord. But do not and NEVER hurt them because it'll only make them more angry. May God protect us all. It was really nice your story:)

Hello - I totally believe your cat is visiting you as this has happened to me too, my cat died few years ago and sometimes I feel it jumping onto my bed. We do have a cat now so I think "it must be Kira", but when I look, nothing is there.

Dark_Soul

Amchi is an Indian member of the forum:

Profile for Amchi1986
Real Name:
Amit chitre

I thought that, perhaps, he could be your friend.

Back to your narrative, several stories from India have mentioned fire, including from cigarettes, as protection from spirits. I guess that's why Amit asked to keep them at hand.

You are good at multitasking if you managed to carry Deep and "praying and chanting continuously" whilst holding a cigarette in your mouth. Just kidding, your narrative it's not clear if you were smoking or not during the ordeal.

Hafi- no issues in using the story. Thanks.

Tweed - thanks for the comments.

Rajine // That's a good question.

The ghost was nothing more or less than a prankster.

If there had been no babies, they might have coexisted.

The baby stopped crying after cutting down the tree.

The prank that makes a child cry went too far, so there was nothing I could do about it. The warning didn't work at all.

Seo Scarlet2: What a fascinating story! I admit "I" would have a bit of a problem continuing to go to those particular classes.
I take it that the 'teachers' were able to see what you students could not.
I feel rather sorry for those teachers. I give them credit if they continue in those facilities!

Great Read! 😁 😁

Thank you lady-glow for reading this story/experience.

And, Who's Amchi?

Hi Seo, I have an amusing theory. Some believe ghosts can use energy from the physical realm to interact within it. Perhaps this ghost utilised your home's electricity for some reason and accidentally blacked it out. The candle being a peace offering and way of apology.

Thanks for sharing. One of the first narratives I read on here was about a floating candle. Fire is energy so they're probably easy to lift or conjure. Fascinating stuff.

Gosh... I wonder if we'll be reading Amchi's side of this story!

Perhaps it was just a passing spirit, trying to be helpful, although it doesn't seem to be a bad entity, it's still unnerving all the same.

Back in the day lots of people built their bathrooms away from the house, heard a fair share of creepy incidents from people who had to use it at night as well.

Spooderman.

"spirits are beings who have not been able to pass on to the afterlife due to not having a proper funeral or by committing suicide."

Actually, there are many reasons why spirits stick around, it could be because the person died suddenly and didn't have time to realize their death, or in the case of people that have some unfinished business or an attachment holding them into this side of the veil, regardless if they had a "proper funeral" or not.
And let's not forget the fact that our departed loved ones do not hesitate to lend us a hand when in need.

In this particular case, and in my opinion, the spirit could have been a spirit guide, specially since the OP has mention that their father "could see spirits so he's a bit of a scaredy cat".

It is not uncommon to read stories about people sensitive to the paranormal world not wanting anything to do with it, but unable to shut it down.

I'm not denying the possibility of an angel handing the candle to Seo's father though, in my opinion, it could have been a spirit not of angelical nature.

RCRuskin.

Not so much the "minimum character limit"...but the "I will read the comments but I won't participate in the discussion."

But in case Seo_scarlet02 decides to participate in the discussion, I would like to know if there was anything special about the candle or if it looked like any other candle? In other words, if the helpful spirit 'borrowed' one candle from the ones the family kept, or if it 'materialized' from the ethereal world.

Also, if having an indoor bathroom helped the OP's father to stop seeing spirits.

Seo_scarlet, welcome to YGS and thanks for sharing this interesting experience with us.

According to my knowledge spirits are beings who have not been able to pass on to the afterlife due to not having a proper funeral or by committing suicide. So they're basically beings who may show signs of presence, however they can't really do anything to other living human beings. That's why I think it may have been an angel since there have been plenty of encounters such as these. It was really nice hearing your story, especially considering the fact that angels usually accompany those houses which worship God and stay in the right path. ❤️

Your story was very fascinating, I liked it. And I want to ask for something if you allow, Can I use your story for my YouTube channel?
Plz reply
It would be a great experience to share it with with more people

I too think it was some helpful, benevolent spirit.

The wonderful minimum character limit again, Lady Glow?

Some one being helpful.
Thanks for sharing.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V

Do you think that this was just a passing spirit, or has it been around for a long time, and why choose to haunt that particular tree? And not just the whole yard?

lady-glow //

Did anyone hear the footsteps when the baby was crying?
ㄴ me, my grandmother, my relative

Did the baby cry during the day and the night or only at night time?
ㄴ cried mostly at night, relative said that he heard footsteps very occasionally during the day. But I didn't hear it.
Of course, when those footsteps were heard during the day, the baby cried hard.

I got a bit confused about the timeline of the events, if all this began in early 2010, but you began working and, hence, wearing the derby shoes in 2014, - were the footsteps heard prior to you wearing this kind of footwear?
ㄴ
Relative say the sound was heard even before then.
But my relatives and grandmother passed away, so I don't know about the story before that.
But I will tell you what I know.
It is said that the first sound of footsteps was the sound of feet dragging slippers on the floor.
Then, one of my relatives lost his shoes on the "Daeboreum" day in Korea.
Losing shoes on this day means that a ghost took them away.
And it is said that the sound of footsteps changed after that.
However, the relative did not notice.
The time when that something made the sound of footsteps coincided with my time off from work.

Afterwards, my relative realized that the footstep sounds were not mine and the puzzle in his memory was put together.
1. "Daeboreum" day A relative lost his derby shoes.
2. After that, the slippers being dragged footstep sound around changed into the derby shoe footstep sound
3. Perhaps by coincidence, the time of day when the footsteps were heard coincided with the time when I got off work from the hotel.

Considering all the circumstances,

That being had a derby shoe that relative was lost on the "Daeboreum" day, and because of this, it was able to secretly change the sound of its own footsteps.

Plus, That being had the time it was footstep sound make was similar to my time off from work.

The whole story was based on 2 lines of the entity details...Wow

Hi Spooderman, I can vouch for that, that houses do turn evil if something sinister has happened or is happening in the house. I did mention that the house was on rent. And the landlords used to go on the roof in the night, there was a room there and they used to be upto something. And they used to go there everynight around 12 to 02 in the night. They even had prohibited us from going on the roof. Also one of their sister had died in the same house where we used to stay

Hi Kim.

Interesting story. It seems like many cultures share the belief of spirits living in trees.
Just a question, or more:

Did anyone hear the footsteps when the baby was crying?
Did the baby cry during the day and the night or only at night time?

I got a bit confused about the timeline of the events, if all this began in early 2010, but you began working and, hence, wearing the derby shoes in 2014, - were the footsteps heard prior to you wearing this kind of footwear?

I'm sorry to learn that the tree had to be shopped down, but a person has to do what they have to do.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Val.

Quoting Tamora Pierce in "Trickster's Choice":

"Curiosity killed the cat," Fesgao remarked, his dark eyes unreadable.
Aly rolled her eyes. Why did everyone say that to her? "People always forget the rest of the saying," she complained. "'And satisfaction brought it back."

I guess that's their way to say "thanks for the good times we had together".

Hello! I love your story and I'd like to showcase it on my spooky podcast if that would be okay? I know you posted a few years ago so hopefully you'll see this! Thank you!

I love your story. I have a spooky podcast that I'd like to showcase your story on, if that would be okay? Please let me know! Thank you! (Hopefully you'll see this, I know your original post is a few years old.) :)

Hi Midd and welcome.

Job well done to your dogs! I'd guess whatever was in the hallway would've become more and more aggressive as time went on. It really seems like PT got rid of it.
You mentioned the hallway seemed dark, like a gloomy day even though it was sunny, this is probably all the information you need to be sensing anything paranormal. Everyone has different ways of sensing the unknown, so I'd say this would be your natural ability kicking in on the day.

I don't know much about the Chow breed or their natural behaviour but I thought maybe Jess and PT were operating together as a small army that day. PT defending the inside of the house and Jess guarding the outside. Might explain why she didn't want to come inside and why both dogs returned to their normal happy selves simultaneously.

Interesting encounter, thanks for sharing.

lg - I had to wait to comment because misty eyes makes for many, many typos. People say cats don't care like dogs do, but they're wrong. Oh, sure they do what they want but they'll give affection to those they deem worthy.
I for one think your kitties do come check in on you now and then. Perhaps through your dreams, just like human loved ones are more apt to, when are minds are not so cluttered with 'reality' it either goes unnoticed or is shrugged off.

Danvalter1 - We lived the other way - other side of Lackland, I think we were off Westlyn. I use to run through Lackland in my high school years.

Lady-glow - thanks for comment.

Rajine - The family experienced some things like I wrote in the article but the reaction by the dog and the crashing were the most "visible" along with the women with a baby dressed in old style clothes that visited by sister in her sleep. My Mother (from the South took it to heart and my Father just chocked it up to kids.

Ik I'm commenting this after 12 years but if anything like this ever happens just burn it. That's it just burn it in the name of God. It may sound harsh but that's exactly what you need to do in such situations.

Hi there!

Spooderman here with a suggestion of possible reasons for the consequences you've faced in that house. In my opinion, it's not the house that's haunted, it might just be the previous tenants or the house's history. A house can never be evil unless someone has done something to it. I've heard many cases like this where certain areas and places have caused people several misfortunes. The root of these causes are mostly related to black magic and witchcraft.
A very common example could be the conjuring house, which to this day could not be cleansed properly. That house is considered extremely dangerous as it was once a lair of witchcraft and evil. The fact that the landlords were trying to sell your house in such a low price makes sense why it was haunted. So my advice would be to always be careful when buying things such as houses. May God protect us all. Peace.

Hi Midd23,

I'm from San Antonio, too. If you don't mind, were you and your family living near what used to be Kelly air force base?

Lovely Ladyglow,
It's a huge deal when you lose your furbabies. They say time makes it easier, but I disagree with that.
I wouldn't worry about Grammer too much. You only have to read my posts to see I'm the royal highness of errors and bad grammer. Lol
It's hard seeing without my specs and even harder with them on because I need them for distance not close vision. Lol

Spooderman.

" it is much clearly stated that there were human footprints, "then" cat footprints, which I think is a quite accurate sign of a Jinn's presence."

In my opinion, it wouldn't hurt if the OP had described these footprints more detailly.
Did they show an obvious transformation from human feet to cat paws?
Were they following the same direction or were their paths crisscrossing?
Are they sure the prints were not there prior to their visit?
Did they record and/or take pictures of their findings?

My point is, it doesn't seem like this paranormal team took the time to look into the condition of the place before starting their investigation or, if they did, the OP didn't mentioned it in their narrative.

And the fact that they decided to close their account once people began asking for evidence of their findings doesn't help their credibility. What self respected paranormal investigator wouldn't be eager and proud of sharing whatever data they had collected with an audience?

I'm not denying nor doubting anything the OP has said, neither expect everyone to be a professional writer, only think that the results of any investigation, even a paranormal one, should be carefully documented.

Welcome to YGS.

Hi Midd23.

This is an intriguing and fascinating experience. Animals are more sensitive to paranormal entities, it would be nice if pets could talk, though I think PT's actions said more than a thousand words.

It's hard to say if whatever was there had any bad intentions towards you, but you were lucky to have your dog's protection.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Midd23

Animals have long been able to sense/see things we cannot, from your story what I can tell is that whatever it was, was passing by since you mentioned that this happened only once regarding the dogs, have any of your other family members experienced anything as well? And what was your parents reaction to your sister saying that a man hanged himself in that room?

Hi CrimsomTopaz.

Thanks for your lovely comment. I sniffled while reading my narrative before pressing the 'submit' button... Now I realize that there are some grammar mistakes my tears didn't let me see.

Hi Tweed.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my story.
As sad as going through these experiences was, there's something magical about them, since not only they have been a reassurance that death is not the end, but they've help me to go through a harder loss.

Sometimes I question if becoming a 'cat lady' was a good idea... I don't think I'll ever be ready to say goodbye to any of my other fur babies. In the meanwhile, I'm happy to have them around, even if they don't get along.

The people who are commenting sleep paralysis... I dint no that sleep paralysis comes in form a dark Figure.

[at] lady-glow the story may not be clear enough to understand full details of the surroundings and the jinn's way of shifting places. However, it is much clearly stated that there were human footprints, "then" cat footprints, which I think is a quite accurate sign of a Jinn's presence.
A Jinn is not a spirit with no abilities and it is in fact a living creature. Jinns are basically beings like humans but are mostly invisible to us. Their presence can be noticed only if they shapeshift. That is why it feels easier for me to accept this story's genuinity. I don't mean to underestimate you or your comment. It's just my way of perceiving things.

Hi Akin,

I believe it was an ole'higue. My neighbour was an ole higue and often time I used to see the fireballs when I was a child.

Lovely Lady, That's heart breaking to read. I literally sniffled through the sad bits.
May they all RIP. You gave them love, nourishment, warmth, and a safe place to live. They'd be grateful and take that memory of kindness to the next realm.
I'm so sorry to read your kittens have been put to rest. That must have been a heart wrenching decision to make. Positive energy to you.
