Hi. My name is Anie and although this story may not seem
like much, it's very intense when it happens.
Last summer my family and I took a trip to Ottawa. The
very first day were there we decided to go the Museum of
Nature. It was quite interesting an somewhat peaceful. Now
I have always believed in ghosts and my imagination can
run away with me sometimes but in this case ghosts was the
last thing on my mind. Anyways we traveled up to the
fourth (top) floor and on the way checked the map. It said
that one half of the building was a permanent exhibit and
the other half of the floor was used for specialty
exhibits and at that time, summer camp. So there was
really nothing to see but I was just a bit curious anyways.
Before I go any further, the museum was very open and from
all the way on the top floor you could look down and see
the large entrance/main hall. You could also here everyone
on the lower floors so there was no real sense of
disconnection or discomfort.
When we reached the top floor, I headed straight to the
empty section dragging and encouraging my younger sister
along with me. When I finally got only a few steps into
the hallway on that side, I had the most sinking, stomach
turning feeling of dread. I couldn't go any further and I
turned and saw my sister walking full pace towards that
section. All I could do was yell at her to stop. I
couldn't ever know why but I wasn't going to let her go
over there.
Now normally if I had yelled at my sister the way I did
then my mom would have flipped but she didn't say a thing
to me but told my sister to stop. My sister asked me why I
had done that but I just walked straight into the other
exhibit and didn't look back, the whole time I was shaking.
Later on that week, we decided to take a haunted walk that
toured around Ottawa and they told you ghost stories about
buildings. I had almost forgotten my experience until I
heard the guide tell a story about the Museum of Nature.
Apparently, many workers had experienced strange
happenings and one director had even had the ghost of a
man walk straight through her all in that hall way I got
to be so terrified of.
There was no way I could have known about this story as I
hadn't even heard of the Museum of Nature until we went
there. I have ever since then thought I had some sort of
sense but it really hit me when I had the same feeling in
a movie theatre in downtown Barrie. The feeling got so bad
my friends and I refunded our tickets and went home
because I was almost in tears I was so scared.
As I said, it doesn't sound like much if it's happened to
anyone else, you'll know and I'd also like to hear from
anyone who has had the same type of experience or knows
anything about what happened. Thanks.
