Castle of Spirits Ghost Story - 2003


DON'T BE LATE FOR P.T.
I was living in an apartment when I was in the Army in 2002, from the very start I knew something was no right in the apartment. It was a one bedroom so it wasn't that big, It had a small hallway and the bathroom was at one end and the bedroom at the other end. The hallway we're talking about here is like 4 ft long just so you have an idea.

Well the bathroom, hallway, and bedroom were some sort of a pathway to something very evil. The first night I took a shower there was a horrible feeling that someone was watching me the whole time. The feeling was so strong I could pinpoint that whatever it was, was sitting on the sink or in that area. I played it off, but each time I was in the shower the same presence was there. What got me to worry was the fact when I was in the living room watching TV or something, you could feel this evil coming from the hallway.

My husband was in the Army also but he worked a second job, and wouldn't be home till after 12pm or so. I would go to bed like at 10pm and at 11.00 each night I would wake up scared, and there would be a figure of a man in the doorway. This really started to scare me, but I would play it off as a bad dream. My husband would never sense any evil in the house and didn't belive me, well that was until our cats would go from being sound asleep in the living room floor to be standing on their hind legs, fur all fluffed out and hissing at the hallway in a matter of seconds.

Have you ever seen a cat stand on their hind legs and stay like that for a min or more ? Probably not, not something I ever saw before myself. My poor cats were so stressed out, they wouldn't leave the living room ever, I had to move the cat box into the living room along with their food.

My husband finally started to believe something wasn't right in the house, about that time he left for the field for a week. And that’s when it happened….

I set my alarm for 5am like normal, I was awoken by someone shaking me violently. At first I thought it was a dream, then as I was waking up I figured it was my husband. Then I realized my husband wasn't there, and I wasn't dreaming. Whoever or whatever that was in my house didn't want me to be late for P.T. apparently. Well soon as my husband got home I said we were moving that weekend. This story doesn't quite end here. My mom came to help us move, she had never been to this apartment before and didn't know why I wanted to move. She stepped one foot in the door and said “ What evil is in this house ?” My Mom is very sensitive to “the other side” . That is what threw me over the edge, I knew then and there it wasn't just me. I still can't sleep alone.

HOUSING ON FORT LEWIS


I finally got lucky enough for my name to come up on the housing list, My ex husband and I were so excited to move on post. We moved into a four plex, each four plex had two stories. We were in a cul-de-sac that had two other four plex’s on each side of where min were located. The neighbors were so nice, the house was nice, everything was wonderful as far as I was concerned.

Well after about a month or more I started to notice that every time I was in my bedroom alone, the light would go all the way out then go as bright as it could go. It all happened in a very slow process, kinda like if you had a dimmer switch on a lamp. It was not at all like a short in the light or anything, that looks a lot different. It never bothered me, there was no bad feelings in the room when this happened. In f act I got to where when I came in the room and it happened I would say, “ how ya doing today?”. Weird I know but I am use to encounters with ghosts that it didn't bother me, I knew I was safe.

I started to ask the neighbors in my four plex if anything weird has happened, and I wasn't surprised to get an answer of yes. The lady to the left of me ( she was also at the end of the four plex ) told me that her three year old son would stand at the bottom of the stairs looking up and waiving. When the little boy was asked what he was waiving at, he responded with “ the lady”. I was like ok, good now I know it’s a woman that is in the four plex. I went to the neighbor to the right of me and asked them if anything has happened. To them what was going on was in the middle of the night there TV would come on, and or there alarm on the stove would come on. Apparently the “ lady” would go through each house and do different things. The neighbors on the very end to the right of me had just moved in and I didn't want to scare them by asking them questions about any hauntings, so I didn't ask right away. A few months after they moved in we were all drinking in the front yard and the topic came up, by the look on the mans face I could tell what was going on was not good at all. The wife started to laugh hysterically while the husband just looked like he could pee himself. When she was done laughing she finally got out what was happening in there house, apparently the “ lady” didn't like him at all and did her best to scare him to death. Every time he decided to take a bath and was in the middle of relaxing, the shower would burst on full blast with hot water. This never happened to the wife or their 3 kids, just him and him alone. He would get scared so bad that when this happened he would scream for his wife, who had to sit on the counter till he was done. To funny I thought, whoever this “ lady “ was she sure was having some fun.

It was all fun and games until she started getting not so nice in my house !!! My ex husband and I got some Sugar Gliders, and apparently the “lady” didn't approve. Every night they would bark and bark and just go nuts, and every morning I would go in and thier bed that hangs by hooks would be completely moved in the cage, even the ledge that their food sat on. No way in hell could the Sugar Gliders move that stuff and put it so perfect in the cage. Well at first I didn't mind it, yes “ the lady” upset them a little but there was no harm done… Course it got worse and worse, till one day “ the lady” lashed out at me.

It was getting close to when I was moving out of the house and I had just had knee surgery done a few days before. My Mom came up from OR to stay with me for a few days, Mom was upstairs and I was stuck on the couch since I couldn't move much. It was probably around 11pm or so and we had just gone to sleep, when it happened. Right in my ear it sounded as if 20 Lions, yes I said Lions. Roared in my ear, it was so loud it nearly made me jump off the couch, was NOT a fun experience. Well what my Mom heard up stairs was like 20 stainless steal bowls slamming on floor from really high up. Mom got up and looked around and not one thing in the house was out of place, besides the dog being scared.

The next morning I asked the neighbors on both sides of me if they had heard anything, because the walls are pretty thin. Both neighbors said they didn't hear a thing, IMPOSSIBLE I'm telling you…I was pretty nervous the rest of my stay there, which was only about a week more. Hope this didn't bore you to much ! =)
