I always watch Ghost Hunters every Wednesday. This past Monday they had a marathon. I love that show and Paranormal too on A&E.

I love talking about ghosts! I just bought the dvd set of "A Haunting" tv show that they used to show on the discovery channel.

Here is another ghost story that the kids reminded me of last night. First I have to give a little background. My husband and I have a very large group of friends and every year over Columbus Day weekend (yeap coming up :D) we take a big camping trip to the Shawnee National Forest in Southern IL. My husband and his buddies have been going down each year since they were in high school and as they got married so then the wives and kids going along for this annual camping trip. We rough camp but its a total blast. One of our friends always pulls a flat bed trailer down with most of our gear; our tents, coolers, cooking supplies, etc. but the cool part about him doing this is that once it was unloaded a local farmer would give up hay from his barn and it would them become a hay ride for the kids. :p Each year it became more and more fun because the kids grew and they would go off and explore, hike, bb guns with beer cans, camp fires, and GHOST Stories :eek:.

This particular year, the oldest kids were in high school and at the young end kindergarten but I have to say they all still piled into the trailer for our night adventures. We always stay in the same camp ground and we see a lot of the same faces each year but this year we met a new camper and his name was Randy. He was a local and had his boys with him and he was sure the site towering over the kids he was a great big bear of a man. No shirt, great big belly, missing most of his teeth, overalls with only one suspender fastened and boy did he have the kids mesmerized with his ghost stories of the forest! :eek: On the first night of our camping trip is when Randy the Redneck (I know not PC people but that's his name :cool:) gathered the kids around the campfire to begin to spin his web of tales. I have to say that I have never seen so many kids of all different ages, mouths hanging, eye as big as saucers, just scared out of their minds ;). When he was finished with all of the local folklore the kids were begging to go and check it out! :D When it gets dark in the forest you cannot see the hand in front of your face but off we went to the cemetery across the road to find Mary! :eek: Over the years we had explored this cemetery many times but NEVER in the dark but with much pleading off we went. The legend of Mary was that she had died young while crossing the country to get to CA for the gold rush. If you walked in a circle 3 times around her headstone and chanted "Mary please come out to play" and then knocked 3 times on her headstone she would rise out of her grave and if you smelled your hand it would smell like roses. We piled about 40 kids into the trailer to go find Mary! This was going to be GOOD!!!!!

Nice cliff hanger....please finish the story SOON! lol

I agree!! I'm wanting to turn the page to see what happens...and there aint one!! LOL

what happened, what happened?

HELLO!!!! Did someone pass out from fright???? Tick tock...do NOT tell the rest after dark...

So you guy are paying attention.......:yelrotflm

But you need to stay in suspense just a little longer :D

:eek: Yours does laundry?.... Cool! :D

So off we went with a trailer full of kids to look for Mary in the cemetery. Just to get a little better picture of what this really looked like, we had a trailer full of hay, 35 kids ranging in age from about 5 yr all the way up to 16 yr old I was driving and my husband is sitting shotgun :rolleyes: We didn't have to go far just right out of the camp ground and maybe 2 blocks. It's pitch black and slowly pull up to the cemetery armed with flashlights to look for Mary's headstone. It's a very small cemetery and only about 20 feet off the dirt road so we didn't have far to go once we got there. Of course *I* stayed behind to comfort all of the little ones that are now bawling their eyes out and Tom got out of the van with the rest of the kids. So they all walk over to Mary's grave and Tom lead the circling and chant "Mary come out to play" around they go 3 times then Tom knocks! :eek: One, two, three! Nothing! :( But they hear something rustling over in the trees and then a voice!!!!!! Now they are running and pushing each other to get back inside the trailer and something or someone is chasing behind them!!!!!! Kids are screaming and crying! Now I see something BIG AND WHITE coming at us! OMG! It's a guy in a sheet! WTF! :eek:





























It's Randy the Redneck pulling a prank on all of us :mad:

*Totally true story!

LOL LOL LOL...I wudda peed my pants! :D

so something happened to me that im really not sure of..
yall know that show paranormal state?? there was an episode about a girl that was getting attached by a demon with the name starting with "m". (i dont want to say the name)... this thing has scratched her back, thrown her around the room, raped her :eek: , and has tried killing her a few times. as i was watching this show i wanted to look up the demons name just to verify what the paranormal state peoples demonology professional (lorraine?) was saying about it.. everything i read was the very same. well that ngiht i went to bed with no dreams that i could remember. but sometime around 3am i got a pain, kinda like a deep scratch all the way down my back that woke me up. i woke up my boyfriend asking him why he scratch me and that it really hurt. he told me that he didnt and to go back to sleep.. i was too scared to get up and look at my back (if the scratch was there i didnt want to provoke something) so im not sure if it was actually there or if i had a dream and felt the pain through my dream. :confused: ..?? i dont know. the whole thing REALLY freaked me out.

The white sheet prank reminded me of something that happened to my sister and I. We were talking with our brother and his friend about fears. My sister and I said we always turned off the light at night and jumped into bed so the boogie man under the bed couldn't get us. Later he and his friend got under our beds ( my sister and I shared a room) and as we went to get in bed they grabbed us by the ankles and tried to pull us under. I was so scared I tried to scream and all that came out was air. My sister was the same I think, the boys thought it was funny.

ayayayayyyy
 

i have been reading y'alls posts but i was too scared to post my scary story last night. everytime i think about it i get chills and since its not night yet..ill tell u guys my scary story :/. its weird. let me just tell you wat happened the time i was about to post it here(i dont remember if i ended up posting it here as a thread as a second try).well i wrote down my long story that im about to tell...i even detailed it and everything and as soon as im done... my comp turned off by itself. maybe coincidence idk but i was already freaked out as it is.

one night..i was with my bf all night and got home around 2 am. my mom,dad, sisters and i all live in an apt. ive never really felt like at home here...its just the vibe idk wat it is really. well... i get home at 2 am and head into my room...my sister was sleeping on my bed...i wasnt surprised...sometimes she does this. so i change and get ready to go to bed..i then lay down and i see one of my curtains is a little bent and a little light is coming in... im in the process of choosing if to stand up and move it or go to sleep... i also see my sister is sleeping and she even is like snoring a bit and i giggled since shes only 7. well when im still deciding... i feel like someone is staring at me from behind and i just ignore it and say.."no way... im just tired.. too much ghost whisperer"(in my head.). well i close my eyes and then i feel goosebumps all over my body.i open them again and see a black shadow laying down in betweeen my sister and me. i wanna yell and i cant. he then says" does it feel good?" and laughs. im here in shock and cant yell and i pinch myself saying am i really awake and this s*** is happenin???? =O! well..i end up seen my sister move... so i knew i was awake and this wasnt a dream. i could see right through him but at the same time... i knew it was a dark shadow of a young guy because thats what it sounded and looked like. after this...even though i knew i was awake ...i keep telling myself this is all b.s and im sleeping.. well he dissapears but i still feel like someones watching me from behind,..so at this point i turn, see the shadow stand up and walk up and to my moms room where my dad was. i tell him what happened and he believes me. he then tells me that he knows theres ghost here because he has seen them at night. no wonder he hates it when my mom closes the door and turns off the hallway light -.-. he says he didnt wanna tell me because he didnt want me or my sisters to get scared. i was a big fan of watching all these scary movies and stuff but after that...i havent watched a scary movie :(. i try not to stay home alone. well.. i remember my reason for posting my story the first time was because i got louis like a week after this happened and i wondered if thats why he keeps looking at my room from the living room and barks. this is kinda the only time he barks as hes not really a barker. im assuming he can see the ghost and its scarrryyyyyy >.<. i havent had any troubles lately but i sometimes still feel as if some1 is watching me. before all this happened i remember there were times where my radio turned on by itself and t.v off and like...sometimes id put something in one place and find it somewhere else and blame my mom and sisters for doing this... in the end...they always said it wasnt them so idk if to associate it with the ghosts but it scares me!!! grrr.

Okay, I have another story. This one happened about 5 years ago.

Our upstairs has our master bedroom and 2 other bed rooms. When we first bought this place, we decided that my 2 boys would bunk together in a room, and the other bedroom would be used as a play room. We kept a TV, game systems and toys in there.

Well about 2 weeks before we were to get married, we noticed that the TV kept turning on by itself along with changing channels. We didn't make a big deal of it, just told the kids that it was something electrical.

We had a house sitter come in and take care of the dogs while we went to the beach to get married. Needless to say, it happened to her the first night while we were gone. She called the police and had them here at our house and called me to tell me that she couldn't stay here anymore. My mom finished the week out so that we wouldn't have to come home.

Since then, we have taken out the TV, and made the room into a bedroom for one of my sons since he is getting older. Now, he's autistic and has had several episodes in that room. He called me one night screaming saying that he saw a demon in the corner of the room. What's really weird is that is the same corner that the TV was in.

Me being the religous person that I am, went in with mineral oil and blessed the house. I have also had my preacher come in and say some prayers. My son hasn't had anything like that happen again, but I swear every night before I fall asleep, I see shadows coming from my son's room into the hall way. I close my eyes fast and try to go to sleep.

If anyone has a way of researching properties, I would love to hear it. I don't know the history of my house, but I would like to find out what has or hadn't happened here in my house.

Get to know your neighbors if someone has lived near your house a long time start asking questions. They may or may not say anything not wanting to upset you. That's a start!

That's a great idea dogbert. I will definitely start doing that. It will also give me the chance to meet some of them and get to know them better too.

Yea there are some that are really scary but I still love watching it :D

I like TAPS too :)

It seems like the TAPS guys deal with a lighter side of it, where the other show deals more with demons etc. or so it seemed.

I agree, but I definitely believe that both are out there.

why don't you move your son to another room. He might be very scare to sleep there

Actually, nothing has happened for a while, so I think he's alright now.

Me too.

:eek: I have one for you I was in Orlando Fl on vacation the first night was good the second night we got back to the room . it was me my husband and my sister ans her husband .me and my husband took the room and my sister took the pull out couch so she was really close to my room at about 2AM we went to bed there was something about the room i did not like it was later in the night i found out way something grabbed me by my arm's and picked me up out of the bed about 1 foot off the bed i was screaming so loud i that my husband fell off the bed and cut his leg from the top of his foot to his knee but the crazy thing is my sister never heard me !! at 5AM i was packed and ready to go home .. the only thing i got from that trip is no voice for two weeks I will never stay at that hotel every again :animal37

:eek: holly crap I would move....:eek:

I would have demanded the hotel come clean about the room.
