I don't have any long stories and the ghost phenomena that
have
happened to me are just little occurrences so I'll include several
that have happened to me and family members for longevity.
I can't remember for myself, but in my old house, when I was little,
my mom said she used to see figures in our house. She recalls them as
being angels, whenever I asked what they were and that they were
protecting me.
Some nights, after my mom would have put me to bed, she
would be sitting on the couch and reading when suddenly she would see
a white lighted figure go from our hallway into my bedroom. One time
she said I told her that one of the angels picked me up and cradled me.
On the same subject of angels, my mom told me this story about how
she had once seen an angel when she was younger.
It happened back when
she was in her teens and was living in Michigan. It was summer and she
had gone to camp. For about two weeks being there, she got real sick.
I think she had accidentally swallowed puddle water and it had gotten
her sick enough to the point where her parents had to come and get
her. Before she was taken to a hospital, they called a doctor to come
look at her so my mom remained in bed for several days. The doctor
they called had told her parents that the illness was very serious and
life threatening. You didn't even have to be told that the illness was
very serious because my mom could barley even move. The doctor
recommended that my mom go to the hospital and her parents
decided to do that the next day.
Well, that night my mom was lying in
bed trying to sleep when suddenly the room had gotten real cold. She
said that the room was so cold that she even started to go numb and
was able to see her breath. Then, she could see a light forming in the
corner of the room. At first the light had been so bright, it was
almost blinding, and it then started to form a figure. Out of the
figure, my mom said that she could make out what seemed like a person
with white skin and a long, draping, white robe. As she was seeing
this, she had totally forgotten about her sickness and could only
concentrate on the figure. When the light had gone away and the
"angel" was in full physical form, she said it started to talk but my
mom couldn't make out what it was saying. It was to this that totally
frightened my mom and it made her jump out of bed and run into the
living room, despite her paralyzing illness. She said that the moment
she jumped up, the "angel" disappeared, so when she was in the living
room, none of the other family members could see anything.
While she
was trying to figure out what she had just seen, she realized that she
no longer felt ill anymore. It was some sort of miracle, she had been
cured. She believes it was this figure that had cured her and was sure
that it was just one of her guardian angels.
My dad, now, told me this one story about how he was sleeping one
night, but had awakened by knocking on our door. As much as he was
awake, he was at the same time still sort of sleepy. It seemed like he
was dreaming but he could fully realize everything and could feel. He
went to the door to see who it was and it was one of his old
motorcycle buddies he had known for a long time. My dad was surprised
that his friend even knew where he lived since he had not seen him in
so long. They both went outside on the front porch and started talking
and catching up with each other. They were both really happy to see
each other but my dad couldn't shake this feeling of being in a dream.
After they had talked for about an hour, my dad said that his friend
stressed to him that the reason he came by was to say goodbye because
he was going away for a long time. Well they both said their goodbyes,
hugged, and his friend got back on his motorcycle and drove off. My
dad was so sleepy that he fell asleep right there on the porch where
he had been talking to his friend. The next morning he awoke but
strangely in his bed. He was for sure that he had fallen asleep on the
porch, but brushed off what happened as a dream and got up to get the
morning paper.
When my dad got to the obituary section, it had one
for the friend he had talked to the night before. It said that he had
died the week before then in a motorcycle accident and his funeral was
that very exact day. I guess you could say that his friend paid my
dad one last visit before being put to rest.
Well, for me, there hasn't been any big crazy happenings, but
there are I'd say about two that are worth being ghost experiences.
Back when I was in fifth grade, the classroom I was being taught in
was at the end of this really long hallway. At the other end of the
hallway were the only restrooms in the whole school. Whenever I had to
use the restroom, my teacher would always say that I had 1 minute or
something like that so I would always run real fast.
One time I asked
if I could go and as always, I had exactly 1 minute. The teacher would
even use a stop watch and everything. As usual, I'd run real fast down
the hallway. This time was weird though because about halfway down the
hallway, I could hear whispered in my ear,"stop running."
Well, I stopped running and turned around thinking that a teacher came
up behind me somehow and said it, but the hallway was completely
empty. I was baffled. I could even feel the warmth of the breath touch
my skin.
At first I wasn't even scared and still went to the restroom,
but later on in the day I started thinking about it and thought that I
just had a ghost experience. Pretty weird.
My last story happens in the very house I live in now and some of
these things are still going on.
In 2002, I moved into my new house. At the time I was very
superstitious, especially from reading stories from this very website
about people moving into new houses and having haunting experiences,
so I was all ears on anything unexplainable about the new house. As it
turns out, the house I moved into I believe is haunted, and not just
from me being superstitious. First thing to happen to me was that for
about a week, I would always wake up at the same time at night, 1
am ish, and hear my name being silently shouted. It was like it was
being hollered, but inside my head. After a week and the name
calling ended, I told my mom about it and she said that it had
happened to her too. She would wake up every night the same time I did
and hear her name being silently shouted.
Adding to hearing names being called, I would be on the phone
with a friend or girlfriend and hear voices over the line. I would ask
whoever it was I was talking to if they could here the voices too and
they would always deny it.
One time especially was when I was talking
to my girlfriend and I started to hear the voices over the phone. I
asked her about it and she said she couldn't hear anything, when
suddenly, we both heard someone say "meow" real loud and angrily. Then
the phone just cut off. I thought it had to be my brother playing
around so I went over to where our other line is but he wasn't there.
In matter of fact, he was even at the house at the time but at work.
Other strange things would happen like hearing scratches all
over the place, knocking on the wall and basic unexplainable things.
One common occurrence being that my doorbell would ring and every time
I opened the door, no one would be there. Out of all the strange
things, the most strangest and common thing to happen is constantly
seeing this dark figure in my hallway. This has been happening ever
since I have moved in up until now. I would be sitting right here at
my computer and at the corner of my eye, I would just see this dark
figure either walk by in the hallway or just stand there watching me.
Every time I look, it would disappear. I know this just isn't my
imagination because my brother who gets on the computer a lot too also
sees this. If I could explain what the figure looks like, I would say
that it resembles a lady with long black hair, grayish skin, and a
long black dress. It moves too fast to completely make out and always
disappears when I look, but it is most certain that it is some sort of
spirit because I can almost feel its presence as though there is some
sort of magnetic field around that hallway moments before seeing the
figure.
Sometimes while I'm sitting at my couch, petting my cat, it
would just suddenly look up towards the hallway with big, surprised
eyes, amazed at seeing something that I couldn't see.
Well, that's it for my stories, hope you enjoyed reading them.
Before I close out, though, let me just tell you one more thing.
While
I was younger, from about 4-9 years old, every night I went to sleep I
could hear this demonic laughing. Some nights after the laughter, I
could feel my bed start shaking slightly. Even some nights, I wouldn't
hear anything. I had gotten so used to the laughter that whenever
there was a night where I didn't hear it, I would say to myself, "Hey, where's the laughter?" |
