Why Is Our Family So Haunted?

September 6, 2008

Let me start with the first ghost experience in the first house.  It is in Columbia IL.  My father built this house from the ground up.  Nothing was recovered as far as bones or anything of that nature when the house was built.  It took a while for the activity to start happening.

The first time I experienced it, I was downstairs (the basement was fully finished) in my bedroom and I heard a voice whisper my name.  Then it told me it had a surprise for me.  I was a little girl at the time so of course I thought it was my mom whispering through the air vents.  I ran upstairs and asked my mom what my surprise was.  She had no idea what I was talking about.

Then I began to see what I used to call the Ninja Men.  They were tall black cloaked figures that would disappear into the walls.  I saw them on several occasions. There was another incident when I was taking a bath in the bathtub downstairs.  I happened to look up and see something at the doorway.  I screamed for my mom.  She came but saw nothing.  There was also a time that my mother had a babysitter come over to watch me.  We were in the basement watching TV. when the door handle on the door to the garage started to wiggle and shake.  No one was in the garage.

My Ghost Story - The Old Man In Our House

September 5, 2008

When my husband and I moved into our house, I began “seeing things” out of the corner of me eye, like a shadow moving across a wall. My husband said it was probably a reflection of a car going past or a tree blowing in the wind. I noticed our cat wouldn’t go all the way down the hallway or into the bedroom at the end of the hall.  If you picked her up and tried to carry her down the hall, she would fight to get away.

Our oldest daughter often came to visit and on one occasion asked me if I had ever seen anything strange in this house. I told her about the shadows and she said “Yes, I see them too”. One night while she was visiting, my daughter and I were watching TV and my husband had gone to bed as it was very late.  The lamp on the table between our chairs was on and my small dog was laying beside me in the chair.  He stood up and was looking toward the doorway, (wagging his tail like he was glad to see someone) when I saw a softball sized shadow run toward my chair, like a spider running across the floor.  I instinctively lifted my feet and it disappeared under the chair.  My daughter had seen it too and asked what that was. My dog jumped down, and stuck his nose under the chair, still wagging his tail. I looked under the chair and even moved it, but didn’t see anything. My daughter and I, though startled by this, talked how it was strange that we weren’t frightened by whatever we had just witnessed. Read more of this Ghost Post

Two Ghosts And The Ouija Board

September 4, 2008

My whole life I have been quite interested by the supernatural, probably because many things used to confuse me and happen with no explanation. But what made it worse was that it was usually me and only me who witnessed it all (there are a few exceptions) and I knew it wasn’t imagination.

Sorry, this will probably be a long story, and as I’m not the best writer, it might be a bit confusing. I will try my best to tell you the true events I have encountered.

I think the most activity started in the house that I live in now, my family moved in here when I was about 11 (I’m now 17), I used to sleep in a big room with my sister, but moved into the small room at the end of the hallway. that’s when it proper started. I was in my room reading a book on my bed, facing the door. When I heard a loud breathing coming from the door, I lowered the book thinking my sister or mum was there, but the hallway was empty. My mum and sister were in their rooms with the doors closed. I told my mum, but like most parents and adults… she didn’t believe me.

After that I used to hear a lot of footsteps going up and down the stairs and hallway, even when I was the only one in. I saw a child like figure running past doorways and heard a little girl giggle when I was at my front door with my boyfriend at the time, he didn’t hear it. No one else was in the house.

Painful Nights At Mom’s

September 3, 2008

So, here I am again, for the third time. This time to add to my experiences at my Mothers house, my previous story stated I would update if there was anymore, well, this summer has brought more events.

I go to my real mothers house every summer, and this summer was no different, well, except a new house that I was use to since my first visit on New Years. I had the room upstairs, that room where my cousin, brothers and I recorded our first ghost chat. I wasn’t big on the idea, but to be respectful, I took it and fell asleep the first night around 9:30. I woke up fine and thought the ghost was fine with all the people. But I found out I was wrong.

After that, my  back hurt from a regular bed, no padding on it. I was use to a futon bed, so, I slept downstairs in the recliner. After a while, the pain stopped and I was fine. A few weeks into my vacation, we decided to go to the beach, we got in our bathing suits and left. I sat in the way back of my moms Blazer. My legs crossed, the skirt of my bathing suit up. I looked down and saw a huge bruise on my leg, and I couldn’t remember hitting my leg at all. I was sort of scared. Read more of this Ghost Post

My House Was Once A Hospice

September 3, 2008

My parents and I moved into our house in November 1986.  All was well until my dad died in September 1992.  The bills piled up and we ran out of money so we rented our house out and moved to my sister’s house.  The woman that moved into our house said, “This is such a beautiful home.  I work six houses down the block for a nursing home.  So I can literally walk to and from work!” We thought she was a GOD send.

Well about six months later, my mom told me to go and collect the rent.  I rang the door bell and some lady answered the door, I told her who I was and she said the woman wasn’t there.  I said, “Can I use your phone to call my mom to tell her Anna wasn’t there?”

When I walked in, I saw people walking around with hospital beds in our formal living room and dining room.  There were two hospital beds in all three bedrooms.  It smelled of feces and urine.  When I got to the phone, I immediately called my mother. My mother talked to Anna and told her it was up to code and she had 30 days to find homes for the elderly.

Anna moved out in November and my family, husband and I started fixing up the house to move in.  I had taken out all the carpet, since it smelled really bad.  I went to see the new carpet through out the house, when I approached the guest room, I opened the door I was looking down at the carpet when I saw a woman dressed in a beige laced dress.  As my eyes followed up she disappeared.  I freaked out and left.  I told myself maybe I was seeing things.
