Ghosts!

[dogbert]

A couple years ago we moved an elderly relative out of her home due to dementia. It was no easy task for many reasons. One being hoarding, not bad yet but a good start on boxes, empty plastic bags etc. The place was still full as could be from years of living there and not remebering what she had so she'd buy another. It was a two story condo, 3 BD, 3BA and it was full. Anyway, she had a big diamond ring her late husband had bought her and decided to put it on while we were there. I noticed later when she was at the kitchen sink the two rings she had on were gone. I asked her where they were and she said right here, reached in her pocket and only pulled out one ring and it wasn't the one her late husband had given her. We looked everywhere for it for at least a couple days. We had hired movers to come for the big heavy stuff and I wanted to find the ring before they arrived and one of them found it. I had also staged a bunch of stuff in the livingroom for the movers to take. The day before they were to arrive I stood alone in the condo in the kitchen and said out loud. "F"(her late husband's name)you have to show us where that ring is because we can't find it. Later that night my husband calls me over to the staging area and he's pointing to the floor. I look and there with a vacuum cleaner cord is the ring. I said thank you "F".

I Just thought of one more! This one is short haha.

2 years ago or so, I was babysitting (a skinkid) for a local YT'er (). and everytime I walked past this one painting in their living room, I got a really weird feeling. It gave me the heebie-jeebies. It was a beautiful painting, really, - I think it was of a woman looking out a window, if I remember correctly? At one point I sat down on the couch underneath it, and got chills like crazy and walked into the other room. Later on, probably on one of those threads up there ^^^ LOL, this YT'er posted about how she thinks a painting in her living room is haunted.

i thought of something weird i havent thought about in a while
my mom had pics of a birthday party we had as kids...my sister had a bunch of little girls over and as we were looking through the pics there is this pretty blonde girl there that no one knows who she is....

my mom always stashes her loose pics in a big ziplock bag in her file cabinet..until recently because now she puts them on disc..anyways she had a bag with pics of me and my sister growing up, my dogs puppies (they were spitz/shelties) it was a lot of pics..well after my grandmother died..they went missing and have been gone ever since..my mom claims she must have taken the pics

i was never really close with that grandmother...she favored my sister alot and she had mental issues that i didnt understand back then. at 60 she was cripled with arthis because her second husband just beat the u know what out of her..and my mother was always treated really bad as a kid, and as a kid-teenager i would see her talk so ugly to my mom that i grew to hate her i guess...well shes been dead i guess 10-15 years now and i will have dreams of her coming to me...sometimes she is nice and wants to talk and others she is like the devil..but the strange thing is when i wake up i can smell her in my hair, on my bed and my clothes..i know its her smell because i hated that smell!..lol its that Keri lotion...
sometimes out of the blue ill get that smell around me too..i can be home, or in the car or at a store and smell it all of the sudden..

my parents house was very scary for me growing up..but around 15 i got a quija board and played with some friends and it got really scary for me..strange things happened..emotions where really out of control for everyone in that house the night we used it..when i got home i flipped it over and it had signatures and faces printed on the back of it and these rings like cup rings but i was told that meant how many sprited you contacted...well i told my mom and she thought i was nuts because it was make by parker brothers its a toy...i was terrified to have it in my house..i didnt sleep for 2 weeks because of the noise in my closet (which is where the quija board was stored) i had to throw it away, my mom was really upset about that

but something thats happened around that time i contribute to that board..for example i spent the night some where and my mom was woken up to some noise in the hall and it was my room closed door...shaking and and the knobb turning like someone was trying to get out..she was so scared she went back to her room and locked the door..another time i was watching tv in bed..watching channel usa and my door which was closed opened and a tall figure was standing there..i thinking it was my dad waved and the door slammed shut so hard the house shook..i went to the hall and no one was there dad was snoring...another time i was gone and my sister and cousin were at home..my mom thought they were upstairs and heard them go into my room and were playing around so she goes to the foot of their stairs and says to them to get out of my room...and when she said that something slammed against the inside of my bedroom door and shattered...glass came out from under the door. so mom went running upstairs to cuss some kids and when she opened the door no one was there...and i dont know what was broken because we used to find pieces all the time but i didnt know what it went to..it was a smoke glass with gold trim
we used to hearing people walking around up stairs before the installed carpet and the downstairs doors will sound like they are slamming and slam so hard the house shakes but when you check them they are still locked

at my current house i do hear someone knocking or ringing the door bell late at night but no one is ever there...my husband thinks im crazy but i heard it and so did the dogs

I've had several things happen over the years but the scariest has to what happened just after my Grandmother passed away. I'd gone to sleep quite easily but at sometime during the night something woke me up, tried to go back to sleep & eventually nodded off. Next night same thing, only this time it seamed darker, eventually put the light on and fell asleep. Next night, dont know if I was waiting for it, but was very jumpy and had to sleep with the light on and the next. Each night the atmousphere just got heavier & heavier, with me getting more frightened. Finally after about a week I lay in bed terrified too frightened to sleep, I eventually went downstairs and lay awake all night. I refused to sleep in thre the next night too afraid too venture in there for more than a few minutes to get my cloths, I slept in the spare room the next night and was woken by several heavy bangs on the floor and wall. After that it went quiet but it was still 6 months before I eventually managed to return to sleeping in there. Thinking about it still gives me the creeps today.

Oh wow..I could go on for days with ghost stories. I have many EVP's (electronic voice phenomenon) that I have recorded on my camcorder while visiting a beautiful, and quite old cemetery near our summer campground.

One summer while camping with my girls (husband worked the week and came out for the weekends)...we were bored and decided to ride through the little cemetery a mile or so down the road from the campground.

I had my two daughters with me and at the time they were about 13 and 10 years old. We were driving through the cemetery with our windows down. No radio on in the car, and no other people were in the cemetery at the time. We were in awe of the beauty of this old cemetery. We never heard a thing...and just enjoyed our drive down the winding paths that lasted maybe...10 minutes.

Well, we went back to the campground...went swimming, had a bonfire...and had fun the rest of the evening. It never even crossed my mind to look at the video we had taped at the cemetery.

It wasn't until the girls had went to sleep until I was bored and remembered the tape. The tape was nothing special...kind of boring until we made the turn around a very old and very spookey out house bathroom in the cemetery. As we made the turn...a man's voice that sounded more like a chanting monk said very clearly..."run towards the kids". This was no whisper like most EVP's. This was very clear, and had a chant sound to it. Needless to say...I could not believe what I was hearing...and I listened to it over and over to make sure I was really hearing this.

I forced myself to finish watching the rest of the tape...and sure enough...a few turns later...the same voice says in the same chanting style..."Help me". Now remember...I am in the middle of a dark capmground at night with two young girls...and at this point...I am freaking!!! I didn't want to wake my girls and scare them...so I just put the camera away...and couldn't sleep for most of that night. After we returned home from our vacation...I researched the voices on my tape...and sent them to a local ghost hunters group. They said they were some of the best EVP's they had ever heard. They told me that children give off more energy then adults...and that ghosts are highly attracted to this energy. They were certain that is why this ghost instructed all his ghostly friends to run towards my kids. I still get goose bumps thinking about this.
Since then...I have recorded MANY evp's in this same cemetery. I have had ghosts tell me their names, and one tell me to "GET OUT" !!! In fact...we even had a ghost answer one of our questions. I plan to make a web page with all my EVP's soon.

I also have a few incredible ghost "encounters" that I will ad tomorrow.

I would love to see/hear more!!

[dogbert]

[yorkiemom08]

i watch ghost hunters and all of those different shows (im obsessed, actually )... well they always say that the more you do EVP's in one place, the more that place tends to be "haunted" and the more you become "haunted".. if that makes sense. just a fyi if you do evp's at your house or something
i enjoyed your story!!

Thanks for all your responses.

I'm not sure about why a place would become more haunted if you spend more time there. Maybe the ghosts become more comfortable with our presence and will try and express themselves more.

As weird as it sounds...I did find myself becoming "attached" to certain graves. This cemetery allows the families to do all kinds of things to the grave sites...and some of these graves were dressed up so much...they actually told "stories" of the life that particular person led and the lives they left behind. I was drawn to the children's graves, and to the graves of husbands who were taken much to soon, and left behind heartbroken wives.

One day we parked on one of the three roads that run through the cemetery. These little gravel roads run right through the cemetery...so when you park...you are surrounded by graves.

As usual...nothing was heard during our walk through. But when we listened to the tape back at the campground...we had a few iffy EVP's...nothing great. UNTIL...we went to leave and was getting into the car. We always leave the camcorder running until we are out of the cemetery. Well, as we were getting into the car...a women's voice in a loud whisper clearly say's..."Watch me...I'm crying". This EVP really bothered me, as this woman even in death...was hurting. And she wanted us to know. And because all my evp's are captured on a camcorder...we have video as well. So we could see which graves we were near when we heard this voice. We decided to see if there was anything different about the graves in the area we heard the voice. The only thing that caught our attention was a small family plot of a husband, the wife "Emma", two grown sons and one DIL. The thing that stood out about this little group of graves is...the father, the two sons, and the DIL were all in the front together in a line. Emma' the wife and mother was in the back by herself. For some reason...she was not placed in the family group after she died. I had the strong feeling she was separated for a reason, like she was being punished in death for some kind of betrayal in life.
I tried casually talking to Emma asking her if she were the one crying and didn't get any responses. But still...we always headed strait to Emma's grave when we would drive out on the weekends. And then finally...one day...she answered us. The only ones present that day were me and my oldest daughter. We had made our rounds on foot and once again found ourselves at Emma's grave. We were a little bummed as we hadn't gotten a good EVP since the "crying" one. My daughter asked out of the blue...Emma...why won't you talk to us". And as clear as you could hope for...we hear on the tape in response to my daughters question..."but you can't hear us". I WAS FLOORED when we heard that! This was a direct answer to a direct question. Was it Emma...who knows. But I consider it one of the better EVP's to have been caught on tape.

My EVP's were all captured in cemetery's. I have never tried to purposely catch a voice on tape in my home. I know better then that...as I don't want to "rile" anything up needlessly in the place I live and sleep.

I have a few other experiences with EVP"s that tend to prove they are communicating directly with the living. I will post them later, as this one is much too long.

I watch the guys from TAPS now and then. Hubby hates all that stuff so I can only watch if he's not home and I remember to tune in.
