I beleive myself to be quite skeptical of the whole idea of
ghosts.
In my entire lifetime I have heard numerous stories told to
me about my village and families past experiences with
ghosts. I will now tell you some of these things.
First of all I live in a small village that a long time ago
had been farm land. In our village is a variety of large
open fields, a school, houses and a farm house that still
remains. The farm house itself has never caused any grief
although some say its haunted. I recently have experienced
small happenings around my house. I'm skeptical on whether
or not it my over reactive mind going into over drive or a
spirit. I have lived in this house my whole life and have
never until a year ago experienced these happenings. Its
just small things like when I switch my stereo volume up my
TV switches itself on. Crossed wires or spirit? Sometimes
when I'm walking out of my living room cards fall off
shelves and the door opens by itself. I've put up with the
little things like that for a while now and they really
don't bother me. What really freaked me out was once when I
was bunking off college I ran up stairs to get a video and
as I came round the landing into my room I saw a young girl
sitting on my bed with her back towards me looking out the
window. She had long black/brown hair and was dressed in
the up to date fashion. She turned and smiled at me and then
disappeared. It freaked me out so much I spent the rest of
the afternoon talking to my cat! I don't think what ever is
in my house is evil (I hope to god its not!) I'd just love
to know why shes there!
My granny usually tells me stories of when my mum or she
was younger because quite simply she's bored. She lives
alone and I think talks to herself. I really hope I don't
end up that way. Mind you I think I'm starting to get that
way, after all I talk to my cat! Anyway she, my mum, my
uncles (3 of them) and stepfather used to live in a house
which was on a long street. At the end of the street was a
slaughter house which the bulls would escape from
regularly. The house was fairly new and seemed fine. One
night when my gran was laying on my uncle's bed with him
and my mum. My gran awoke to find a man dressed in a smart
suit(he looked like he was from a 1950's film) was standing
over the bed, shocked at what she saw she demanded the
intruder to explain himself. The intruder then moved from
the bed side and walked into the wardrobe and disappeared.
My gran keeps telling me that he visited the family often
and would sit in a downstairs chair, she would often talk
to him.
Another time my gran told me of was when my uncle peter had
returned home form a friends house and went straight to
bed. As soon as my uncle had gone upstairs things down
stairs started flying about, my gran was scared Sh****ss
and didn't know what to do. 5 mins later a scream came from
my uncles room, my gran raced upstairs to see what was
happening. When she opened the door she saw him on his bed
5 feet in the air. She quickly grabbed my uncle off his bed
and rushed out of the house to get the local priest. When
talking to my uncle my gran discovered that my uncle had
been playing with a Ouija board and had brought something
unearthly and evil back home with him. The priest managed
to get rid of it with the help of my gran and family
chanting prayers loudly. I'm still skeptical about the
whole thing.
Another thing that happened about 5 years ago. I was 13 and
my grandad had just died, all day I felt a bad feeling in
my stomach that something had happened. When I returned
from school I was told what happened. Anyway my grandma who
was alive then was distraught and trying to arrange the
whole funeral, there was one song that she was trying to
find that was a favourite of my grandfathers. Being a
priest my grandfather had kept loads of bibles and hymn
books in the house. Exhausted and still distraught she went
to bed. At 3am exactly she awoke. She got out of bed, went
over to the book case, she then pulled out a hymn book and
opened it at the exact song my grandfather loved. Also in
the page was a piece of paper with something important on
written by my grandfather. When we all came to see her she
told us all what she had done and said that something in
her dream told her to get that book. I like to think it was
my grandfather himself.
Believe what you will of my stories.
