OK, so October is the time for Ghost Stories and whatnot. it's been a little while since there's been a proper ghost thread. Over the years I've posted some things concerning the paranormal. One thing in particular was an experience my uncle had. A couple months ago(on Facebook) i was talking about this kind of weird experience i had, and as a result, my uncle re told an experience he had(the one i posted on here before). i was pretty much spot on with my telling of his story. There's a few things i didn't know though(and therefore left out). Anyways, his story is below. And in his own words. it's pretty quick but it's also pretty damn weird.


Oh, and he mentions another experience that he had(hit in the chest). i didn't know about that one, but guess what? At that house(trailer) he's talking about, my aunt(his sister) and her kids used to live there. And my cousin said that his bed would sometimes shake for no reason at all.



Also, on another website, there was this really good thread where people from law enforcement, hospital care teams etc, talked about some of their paranormal experiences while at work. i gotta find that thread and link it. it's a trip.


So here's my comment that lead up to the conversation: "Ghosts do exist. i caught one talking on tape(evp)".



My uncle's comments. i removed the names. Just left initials

"Yes they do. One night I was spending the night at E W's place in Mendota"

"We walked in and were going to call it a night and as soon as my head hit the Pillow something hit me so hard in my chest , I jumped up yelled out to E, told him what just happened. I left and walked down the street to your Moms house"

"Another time while I was living in Fresno I worked the night shift , on thanksgiving My Roommate had company over and they were playing a game , I left and returned in the morning, I was about to fall asleep and I see this Neon green shape of a kid / child moving back and forth in front of my bed. I thought that my Roommates were Fucking with me , so I said keep fucking with me and I’m going to kick you. My kick went Right through it. I jumped up and and Ran into the living Room where my Roommates were still up Drinking. They said what’s wrong I told them what just happened to me they look at each other and run into my Room. Later they told me that they were playing with a Ouija Board and a kid came through saying his favorite song was ABC by the Jackson’s and other shit".

"I moved out 2 weeks Later"

And here was my reply.

My mom died when I was 7. When I was 8, my sister and I moved in with my aunt and uncle (my mom's sister and her husband). When I was around 10, I went into what we would call the "red room" (a formal living room with red carpet, curtains, and red velvet decorations on the end tables/coffee table). I saw my mom standing there, holding out her hand towards me. She looked exactly as I remembered her and was wearing the dress she was buried in. But it scared me and I ran out of the room, crying. My aunt asked me what was wrong and I told her that I'd seen my mom. I described what she was wearing, including a brooch she had on her dress. When I described the brooch, my aunt's face went white. She went into her room and came out, carrying something. It was the brooch I'd described. She said that it had been their mother's and my mom had wanted to be buried with it, but my aunt couldn't part with it, so she had put a different brooch on my mom's dress. She was crying when she told me and I remember her saying, "I should have buried it with her like she wanted."

I've got other stories, from other family members. My mom's oldest sister had studied witchcraft for a time. They had a Ouji board and some of the things they told me... wow.

I don't believe in any of that stuff. Gods, fairies, ghosts and the like. Knowing what we know now from a scientific point of view, it's just not possible for these things to exist.

Every fibre in me wants to agree with you Emma, but for one thing that happened when I was about 15 that I just can't explain. Me and my friend were at her mum's house sat on the sofa chatting. Everything was quiet, there was no-one else home, no television on, no radio on, just the two of us. Then from about 10-12 ft away a small brass bell launched itself off the top of their telly, flew right across the room, and landed at our feet. We screamed and ran outside, where we stayed until her parents got back (typical 15 year olds over-reacting). I simply have no explanation for how that could have happened, and I guess it's why I've never completely closed the door to the idea that there is much we have still to discover about the world and its forces.

Sweet, i found that thread i was talking about. it's on a nursing website. And, the thread's been going on for almost 20 years(130 something pages). Damn.

Also, thanks to those who posted. Believers or not. And I'll post more comments later today.


Some trippy stuff on there.

We can be pretty certain that no one has any REAL ghost stories. There might be some entertaining ones though.

I saw a shadow figure dart across the freeway (in the daytime) last year. Was pretty freaky.

Heard energy in some houses produces fake ghost feelings.

If there were such thing as ghosts, why would they fuck with people like that? Your story is similar to a few others of perceived ghostly activity. But does anyone ever wonder why ghosts would actually do this kind of shit? If I were a ghost I can think of better things to do than that.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a ghost, but it just didn't make any logical or scientific sense. I think there are just some things we don't know about yet, so I don't write off the idea that things I currently think are impossible might one day be proven to be possible.

I believe in the supernatural, yes. You only have to think about the Universe to believe in it.

But I just think most paranormal stuff that "happened" to humans is just nonsense and a product of the imagination of the human mind (endless). In other, words, we don't know what/how the supernatural/paranormal actually is. There's an actual scientific link between "alucinations" ("ghosts", visions) and schizophrenia. Telekinesis doesn't exist. The famous "sixth sense" might be a mostly dormant/xtremely weak form of non-physical "communication" that many instects have mastered (with antennae).

So, anyone bother to check out the link ↑ i posted? About the nurses speaking of their paranormal experiences while at work. Common sense would dictate that if anyone was to experience paranormal phenomena it would be in a hospital setting, where people die every day.

Anyways, people can believe what they want. i just think it's short sighted to to say that ghosts, poltergeists and other paranormal phenomena doesn't, or can't possibly exist. There's just so much we don't know about our reality and spacetime etc.

As far as the what, how and why of ghost's and hauntings? I'm not sure. I don't know if they are the actual "spirits" of the departed or if it's an environmental thing. What i do know is that since recorded history people have been experiencing things that cannot be readily explained. How do you explain objects moving by themselves etc? It's really hard for me to believe that every "ghost" experience is ether fake or someone imagining shit. How can two or more people imagine the same phenomena?


So, for the naysayers. If you have the least bit of a open mind, then there's a lot of credible info out there as to the validity of peoples paranormal experiences. You just got to seek it out. if you're a person who doesn't care to believe or wonder, then that's cool too. Please though, refrain from making light(personal attack) of what people post on this thread, about their experiences...

Anyways, check out that link i posted. And Happy Hauntings


El Cucuy is gonna get you...

Benni, thank you for your post. My mother died a little over 7 years ago and sometimes i wish i could have got some kind of sign that she somehow lived on.

in hindsight, are you glad that you had that experience?

As for what you said about your mom's sister and Ouija boards, wow. My mom's oldest sister(less than 2 years older than my mom, my grandmother had like 9 kids, basically one after another ) had a real negative experence with a Ouija board.

I'm odd. I simply don't like the idea of them. I don't fully disbelieve but I really hope they don't exist. The concept is utterly depressing to me to where I'd rather remain ignorant to their existence. In other words i don't go looking for them one way or the other.

Yeah I feel bad for lost souls

I'll admit that the whole thing surrounding Caribbean Voodoo is extremely complex, fascinating and engaging.

Nah. Totally selfish motivation I'm worried about me. To think after I'm released from this mortal coil I'd be even further limited in movement given the entire universe. I don't care the reason, I just don't like that as a possibility. Forever tethered to one spot.

Wow, even children???

That's even sadder. I'd rather not know that kind of eternal fate.

I do like that there are mediums out there that help spirits move on
