SEVERAL EXPERIENCES
First of all, I have never seen a spirit but I do
believe in them strongly. I get that weird
feeling like a lot of other people do...the hair
on the back of your neck standing up, the uneasy
feeling in your stomach, and not being able to
turn your head because you don't know what you'll
see.
My first experience happened about ten years
ago. I had my first child and was a single mom
and moved to another city for a court reporting
job. I rented a nice 3-bedroom house and used
the third bedroom for a guest room whenever my
mom would visit me. I never liked going into
that room though. Come to find out later, my mom
always had an uneasy feeling in that room too --
actually winding up talking to whatever she
thought was in there.
Anyway, late one night right after I moved in, I
was painting the woodwork in the dining room. I
was sitting on the floor, facing into my living
room. My cat was in the living room and all of a
sudden, she hissed and took off down the
hallway. I wondered what her problem was and got
up to look. As soon as I went into the living
room, I noticed that my sofa (Early American with
the wood frame) was pulled away from the wall
only on one side. You could still see the
indentation on the rug. I woke up my mom for her
to see it too. Needless to say that freaked me
out.
After that, several other things happened, and my
mom was a witness to most of them. In the
mornings, we would go into the kitchen and most
of my drawers and cabinet doors would be standing
open when it was only the two of us there. One
time I woke up in the middle of the night to get
something to drink and a couple doors were open.
I closed them, only to see them open again in the
morning. They weren't warped or anything either;
they had a latch that you could hear they were
closed.
Another time in that house I had a roommate and
she went out on a date. I was in my bathroom
blow-drying my hair. All of a sudden I heard my
name being called: (Jenny...Jenny...) very
clearly. I turned off the hair dryer, thinking
it was my roommate back already, maybe forgot
something. I answered "what" but nothing. I
walked into the living room and then looked
outside the door and nobody was there.
My last experience in that house was one time I
came home from a weekend at my mom's. It was
kind of late and my son was asleep. I put him in
his room and went to put something in the guest
room. I remember when I left the door was open(I
always left it open for some reason). This time
the door was closed and when I tried to open it,
the door was locked. Totally freaked out, I
grabbed my son out of his crib and ran next door
to my friend's house. Her husband was a cop and
he came over with his gun because I thought maybe
someone had broken in and was hiding in there.
He came in and the door wasn't locked anymore,
and the window in that room was locked. I didn't
live there much longer.
Another experience I had was more personal.
(This is in a different home in a different state)
About 4 years ago, my fiance and I were going
through a rough patch in our relationship. I was
pregnant with our second child and there were
instances that I thought that maybe he was
cheating on me. I was very, very upset about
this and didn't know what to do. He tried to
tell me that I was wrong and he wasn't cheating
on me. He was getting frustrated too that I
wasn't believing him.
Almost every night when I went to bed, I prayed
to God to show me a sign that my fiance wasn't
cheating on me. My father passed away in 1987,
and lots of times I still talk to him too. So I
would also ask my dad to show me a sign that
everything would be okay and if he wasn't
cheating on me, please let me know somehow.
Well, a few days later I started getting weird
phone calls. We had Caller-I.D. and it would
always say "Out of Area". I would answer the
phone but no one was there, and I would finally
hang up. This happened about five times to me.
Finally, one evening the phone rang again. I
looked at the Caller-I.D. and again it said "Out
of Area". My fiance and his brother were there
and I told his brother to get the phone. (With
everything going on between me & my fiance and my
jealous thoughts, I thought maybe this was some
girl calling and wouldn't say anything when I
would answer.)
The calls never came again after that, and we are
still together. My fiance is the same sign as my
father was (Sagittarius) and is very much like my
dad. I believe that was my dad showing approval
of him and to hang in there; everything would be
okay and that he's watching over me. It still
gets me very emotional when I think about it or
tell someone my experience.
Thanks, everyone for bearing with me & my long
stories. I enjoy this website very much & wanted
to include my experiences too. Happy Haunting!!!!

Well, his brother answered. I was sitting at the
table right next to him. This is what I heard him
say: "yes, she's here; who's calling? Okay, here
she is." He hands me the phone and I say hello.
No one is there. Again, hello....hello. Finally,
I hang up. Curious, I ask his brother who was on
the line.
He said that when he answered the phone, a man's
voice asked if Jenny was there. (No one but my
family calls me that) When he asked who was
calling, the man said "Bill". I totally started
freaking out. Then I asked him if he talked with
an accent, and he said yes, and he sounded like
an older man. Then I talked with a Pennsylvania
Dutch accent and he said, "yeah, that's it."
I got big-time chills and started crying. Then I
realized what day it was. My fiance asked me
what was wrong and I told him: "I've been praying
to my dad to show me a sign that you haven't been
cheating on me and everything will be okay. My
dad's name is Bill, he talked with a Dutch accent
and today is my mom and dad's wedding
anniversary."
