Paranormal

[Delilah]

The activity here has calm down for awhile until recently.
Somehow it has increased and for some reason, I'm not as afraid as before.
This time I decided to blog more about it on myspace. I'm about to release my first blog on this subject. Now that I have tons of Paranormal investigators joining myspace network (including T.A.P.S). I have joined a lot of forums and it seems that I'm not the only one. I thought at first I'm going crazy.
I use to be so active online with bisexual.com and the other bisexual sites and tgirl sites. But it seems that Paranormal subjects has over powered and just taken complete control of my activity online.

This is what I have been doing so far:
Field Research! I'm trying to find out about these grounds and the area including history of this place. I am going to dig through information from libraries and any places I could think of. I'm going to start with deeds of this area. I want to dig as far as possible on deeds and also visit police departments to see if there is any kind of history. Could there have been foul play? Could there have been an accident that involves a child in this building, the grounds, the road on the other side of the fence. Anything I could think of.

First:
I was told to start documenting every thing. Date, Day, Month, PM, AM, Weather condition, etc.

Second:
I have bought a digital audio recorder. I have met a wonderful Paranormal Investigator online and she taught me a lot of E.V.P's.
I was warned that I shouldn't do E.V.P sessions in this home since I live in it. Afraid how I would handle the situation if I get any evidence via recorder.
So, it was suggested to hang out with some Paranormal Investigators from this area and nearby cities (I'm not having any luck finding one). I was told that I may get invited to just tag along to see how they do things. Also how to clean white noise from the recorder. Whatever that means.

Third:
Take photographs as much as possible. Especially the areas where it is active. Most likely the cold spots and black mass I'm seeing. Then there is the shadow and the humming of a little girl who peridocially sings or hums the old children's baptist song (Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so...). I hope to catch it on recorder. I'm just certain that I will have evidence.

Fourth:
See a Para-Psychologist for evaluation. Also allow him or her to come over to my home if it's necessary.

Just doing a follow up on what's going on with me.

There also maybe an animal entity. It is a cat. I don't own a cat anymore. I had to put my cat to sleep awhile back and I have her ashes in a beautiful urn.
About the Ouija board...
I do own a Ouija board and no, I didn't play with it. It's been with the family for many years. My great grandmother named it Captain Charley for some odd reason. I was cleaning out and throwing out a lot of junk.
I found this huge mahogany box which house the Ouija board. It's not the Parker Brother's board game. This is an old board game.
Anyways, I took it out and sat it next to my nightstand and accidently knocking the urn. No ash was spilled since it's tightly sealed.
I took the board game out of the box and was amazed to find old family photos and the planchet is missing. I think they were using glass.
I don't know and I don't think this has anything to do with the Paranormal activity that is occuring.

Last thing I do want to mention is when I was taking a shower.
In the shower, you can see the shadow of the shower curtain and rod against the wall which I face more when showering. There were two incidents. First, I saw the shadow of the curtain kind of open. I didn't think much of it. But then I saw a shadow of a girl's head as if someone is peeking in through the open part. That really freaked me out. I swear on my sister's grave that this I did see. No, I wasn't on medication or drinking.
A month later, the same situation occured except the shadow head rose above the shower rod. I quickly turned around and looked up an nothing. NOTHING!

What appears to be Paranormal is happening.
Cold spots, being touched (oh yes, brushed against my lower back like a tugging of my shirt as well), shadow figures, black mass, feeling I'm not the only one in the home. Seeing movements at the corner of my eyes. Even scent.
I kind of disregard the scent of baby powder because I use carpet freshner frequently and I do have a lot of perfume.

I'm opening myself here in a forum. I figured I would have some support.
Be skeptical if you may. If I was to have read this post several years ago, I would have said "yeah.. and what have you been drinking?" Now the table has turn so I'm prepared to get ridiculed or support. Doesn't matter. What matter is I think I'm going to need help or this will become a one woman show.

I finally visited a Pagan store downtown Bradenton. It's called Om Gaia Spiritual Center. Have I got story to tell you.
My Sensei (Mr. Fong who is a master in Martial Art) has always called me
Shoryo Tombo. Meaning Dragonfly who deliver messages from the dead.
I never knew why. I am guessing that I wear mostly dragonfly jewelry and I have dragonfly motif all over my home especially outside my balcony.
Anyways, the lady in Om Gaia was admiring my dragonfly jewelry. She told me that dragonfly means transforming or transitioning. You know I have been tranforming from male to female... lol Not sure if that has any connection.

Anyways, I just freely spilled the beans of the paranormal activity. Talking about her eyes open wider! And told her for some reason, I'm guessing this is a little girl and I wanted to call her Anna or Annie. Something to do with the letter A. She gave me a Pendalum. I'm not sure I spelled that correctly. She taught me how to handle it. The moment I took it and have it dangling over my open palm... BOOM! The name just hit.. Annabell!
She and I just frozed...lol

I took it home. What could it hurt, right? She instructed me to soak it in a cup of water with a teaspoon of salt over night. And throughout the week, keep it on me and let me energy feed into it. Never to let anyone else touch it so it won't get confused with another energy. Have it tell me what it's way of saying Yes or No. Basically, it trained me how to read it's answer.

Last night was the beginning of the full moon stage. I went ahead and asked... "is there a spirit present with me". A sudden cold temp dropped and it did swing to the answer. I toss that damn thing in my purse and ran outside. I called my boss and told her I'm coming in to work...lol

I'm so tempted to go ahead and do some E.V.P sessions since full moon makes me more calm and at ease, stay focus and clearing of the mind more easier. I'm a Cancer, water element and moon child.

As Pagans, we absolutely do not recommend the use of a Ouija board by anyone who does not know how to set up the proper protections first.

A Ouija board is akin to a bomb.
In the hands of a properly trained specialist, it can be handled safely, but in the hands of the untrained it is a truly dangerous thing.

Paranormal. Can't strictly say I have, in the traditional meanings of the term. My parent's/family place is haunted by the ghosts of two people who used to live there before my father bought the place (each had committed suicide, independently of knowing each other, just both happened to live in the same house at some point), way back long before I was a twinkle in me father's eye. Many guests have seen one or the other of them.

My father has seen many ghosts in his time, and had prophetic encounters, but still says anyone else is just barmy if it happens to them.

A close friend of mine comes from a long line of witches and mediums on her mothers side, and is one herself. She's certainly picked up on things she shouldn't have known about from me. Seems my aura had a habit of waking the psychic neighbourhood when I was 'having a good time', lol.
She has since taught me to keep such things to myself on a spiritual level, hehe.

Could probably list lots of other small recounts of things that my friends and family have told me about, but personally, I've not had such experiences. Guess I'm naturally too earthed.

Delilah, don't be freaked out by a spirit presence. Most spirits that interact with us are benign. Some are even quite beneficial. Now, there are some that are not, but none of it is like the movies. Spirits cannot directly do you harm.
It is easy enough to do a quick protection circle to keep out malicious spirits and you can find plenty of books on it at the bookstore that you got the pendulum.

In my experience with spirits, only one had a harmful sense to it. That one was at Ft. Jackson, SC. I have also had interactions two other spirits, one being the ghost that haunted our house as a kid. He didn't like dad's remodel of the kitchen and kept moving the refrigerator.
The other was the spirit of a housekeeper in an old Victorian townhouse that I was sharing with some other guys from base, in the town of Ipswich England. She just watched me while I was sleeping. She accidentally woke me up one night, when I felt her presence and I saw her, but women had a hard time sleeping in that room at all.

Hi Loves,
I have had many dealings with the paranormal, and have learned to understand and respect it. As for ghosts, they are residual left over energy from a person that has moved on, and usually if you just awknowledge their prescence, they will pretty much leave you alone. Or, if they take a liking to you, will stay with you and watch over you. In the case of Oujies(sp) I dont want anything to do with those damn things. In jr high I went for a sleep over at a girls house and they broke one out. I was a little uncomfortable seeing this, but figured-hey, what I saw when I was a little kid was all my imagination-. I stood watching them messing with it, and the lights kept dimming. Nobody but me and my cousin noticed this. I mentioned to them that playing with a wee-gee wasnt a very good idea, and was told "Awww the Injins are afraid"
I just nervously laughed it off but my cousin was increasingly nervous. I watched and kept noticing that the candles in the room flickered as well. I Knew something was up.
One of the girls passed around the "Pointer" for everyone to touch, and wanted us to blow on it for luck, showing that we were all there and were friendly. I didnt touch it, and told them "I'm Tellin you, you best leave this damn thing alone. No good can come of it!" and recieved more teasing. Cindy, the girl who had just bought the "Ghost Board" (that's what they called by my Gramma) began to ask questions and had gotten some vague answers- ya know stuff like, "Does so and so like me" type of shit. She asked it "There is one here that doesnt believe in you. Do you have something to tell her?" The pointer spelled out jibberish..to them. It was the Cherokee word for Snake, and a snake in our language meant in that connetation is translated to bad, or evil. My cousin grabbed my hand and just shivered.

The girl who was asking it questions was really getting into it and asked, "Is there anything to be afraid of by talking to you? Is anyone here going to be hurt by us talking to you?" It swung to yes, twice. There were delightful goosebupms all around, and alot of unease for my cousin and I. She asked, "Do you know who it is thats going to get hurt? What are their names?"
The pointer moved around for a minute or two then began to spell out words. A couple didnt make sense, then the last two came in all too clear. My cousin burst into tears, and that's when the light in the ceiling blew up, and shower of sparks hit the Ghost Board. It seemed to glow for a brief moment, and you could 'feel' something heavy and ominious in the room..
My cousin screamed, grabbed her over night bag and ran out of the house while everyone else was screaming in delighted terror.
I too left the house in a hurry and ran to catch up to my cousin, who was damn near in hysterics. You see...One word was CarrieSara and the last didnt make sense to anyone..but it did to me..it was my "real" name and because my name isnt a conventional name, it didnt make sense to the girls. But it did to us. My cousins name is Caresa, but her Gramma used to call her Cara-sara.
Two weeks later my cousin and I were raped when coming home from school the day before Memorial day weekend. Carrie lost a nipple in the ordeal and became lesbian, too afraid of men to want to associate with them sexually. I was cut up so badly that I spent 3 mons in the hospital over it. The gorl who was talking to the Ghost Board came to see me in the hospital and tearfuly apologised to me. She felt somehow responcible.
Her Mom came home after we left and had a Fit at seeing a wee-gee in her house. She burned it right away.

I cant say if the board had anything to do with the incident that happened to us, but I know what I saw, and what I Have seen in the years since a pair of 12 yro girls were more or less Told that they were going to be hurt. Was it an ominious evil threat, or where we being told as to warn us against being hurt? I dont know, but I know as one person said, "There is more in heaven and earth that is drempt of in our Philosophy" :}

Hmmmmmm, Guess my other post to this was either too lengthy or scary. It was subsituted with this one that was posted a long time back. Thanks Drew.

I have seen so many things pertaining to this: As a child there was an old old cabin down the way from where we lived on the Rez. When going down to town I would always see an old man sitting on this porch in a home made rocking chair, and I always waved at him and gave him a big smile. He had on an old "Swampers" hat, a white shirt and faded blue over all and boots. He always raised his pipe to me and that was it.
I remember doing this from a very young age. My Gramma was with us one day and saw me doing this, the smile and wave. She said "Chootsa (Babygirl), you shouldnt wave at that house. It isnt polite"
I told her about the old man and discribed him. She just said, "Mr Jenkins had been dead for a good many years, Hon" and left it at that. I still saw him everyday, but finally stopped waving at him. The cabin was torched by the fire dept when the land was sold, and it made me cry.

Many many years later I went back home and drove past the spot where the house had been. Sure enough there had been a Fire House built on that spot, and out front sat Mr. Jenkinns in one of the Lawn Chairs. I laughed out loud and nearly wreaked the car because I Was laughing so hard. I slowed and waved and grinned. He lifted his pipe and grinned back. Little did the Firemen know they had their very own ghost...or maybe they did, I dunno. ;}
I'm not a Jennifer Love Hewett, so I dont tell just Anyone of what I have seen..lol

I have experienced so many "strange coincidences" ..things that just hint at "oh yeah, we're here..now go back about your mundane life" - I wouldn't even know where to start to explain half of them.

Like the time (so I've been told) that I came down the stairs at 5 years old and told my family that my aunt who had just passed away said everything is going to be all right.

Thankfully most of what I've experienced has never been malevolent - but Ouija board - bad idea - If you are looking for answers you need to look elsewhere..there are no EASY answers. If you think that you are going to play with one "just to be cute" - think again - Oujia is like telnet..or the bottom-of-the-barrel chat room. A proper and true guide will never TELL YOU what YOU should do.

I was once reading a book entitled "What Would Buddha Do?" - in it someone once asked the Buddha - "Does the Occult exist?" - he supposedly replies "Yes" but he would not teach it because it can be a distraction from the true path to enlightenment.

I often feel the same way - yes, I know that there is definitely something much more than "meets the eye" going on - I think there are forces that we just don't have instruments to measure yet. However, if I focus on it too much it becomes an addiction - I'm here to learn the lessons I need to learn - not to become hypnotized and sidetracked.

I could babble on for another page and a half - but I'll stop now. Let's just say that generally speaking - ideas only have as much power over you as you give them. For the record, Wiccans casting spells is simply an alternative form of prayer in my book.

I also think that what you all "Ghost Hunters" think of as a set of unified phenomenon occurring in a serial pattern at a fixed moment in time are potentially the very dynamic intersection of many different types of energy and events that may or may not occur in the same space and time.

[bisexualinsocal]

Religious experience, yes. Paranormal experience, nope.

Ok, I know I have already posted a reply, but I just remembered something that had happened awhile back.
My husbands cousin has her father's ashes. They decided they wanted to check it out. They of course were drunker than skunks, and I the designated driver, was completely sober!!! Well, she opened the urn, and I swear to God that the tempature dropped in that house. I was freezing. I felt something, and I had completely broke down crying. It was the weirdest feeling I had ever experienced.
I have felt it in her house previously, but it became stronger after they had opened the urn....anyway, I had to say something, and I had no idea where it was coming from. I told the cousin that 'he forgave her, that he has always loved her and will continue to love her'.. but it didnt feel like it came from me, like someone was talking through me.
She broke down crying and hugged me. Her and her father had always had problems, which I knew nothing about.
She still has the urn, but she says she will never open it again!

Was that paranormal, or was that my imagination going wild??? It felt very weird, if it was my imagination, it at least helped put peace between a father and daughter!!!

ps. BOOOO!!!

Hey Cat, those were some very interesting stories.

Having been to and experienced one of the better Ghost tours in Gettysburg, we plan on going back and doing it again on our next anniversary in September. This time around, I think that we will try an experiment;
You see, there is an area there called The Triangle, in which no one can ever seem to get their cameras to work. Not even video or digital cameras.
Our theory is that it is due to a very famous Mathew Brady picture, that was taken after the battle, in which Brady staged the shot of a dead Confederate soldier leaning against a wall by dragging his body from where he fell to pose the body at the picture site.
We think that the spirit of the dead Confederate is upset by his body being desecrated in such a fashion and prevents cameras from working in that area.

So we are going to ask permission of the spirit and explain that we mean no disrespect to him or his trials in life during the War. Then we will see if we can get a few pictures of the area in The Triangle.

btw, the ghost pics are going to get posted to our profile as soon as I get through posting this.

When I was a kid I loved all things paranormal; I found it all fascinating. When in high school this turned into an interest in Wicca. However, I don't think I've ever experienced anything paranormal myself. I'm not trying to discredit anyone here; the paranormal may exsit, but I have a tendency to think that it can all be explained rationally somehow, and it's just people seeing/feeling what they want to see because they believe in it so much. I really would love to experience something paranormal and have my mind changed; a world with paranormal phenomena would be far more interesting to live in (to me anyway). But, as of now, I have a feeling that if all of this stuff was really true, I would have experienced something definitive by now. I guess I just want some actual first-hand proof.

You may have experienced some of it an not realized it. Sometimes a paranormal experience can be subtle, as in visiting a place that you have never been before and experience a sense of "deja vu" or some similar kind of feeling, such as extreme, near paralyzing dread or a feeling of unusually high levels of calm or peace. Had that happen in a couple of places, one of which was in England.

Of course, not everyone experiences paranormal events. Most people never experience anything of the paranormal, so that has a bearing on people's perceptions of the existence of things such as ghosts.

[PolyLoveTriad]

Great topic! Nice to find something like this

When I was 10 to when I was 13 we lived in a house that had shadow people. I had no clue what they were until well mid 30's I hadnt even heard of anything like that. I actually had chopped it up to a very creative imagination lol But there were 3 very distinct shadowy forms who were in our house. They didnt scare me at all, didnt try to harm anyone. I think they were more protective of us if that makes sense. But I would see them every night shortly before turning the lights off for bed, come down the hallway stand there a few minutes and then leave. Occasionally I would see them in other areas of the house and during the day. We moved, I never saw them again.

Ive seen 2 UFO's in the last 12 yrs. One was in the middle of nowhere in Arizona on I-8 Very bright lights, swooped down out of the sky to the ground hovered for just a moment and then shot off. The other I actually have on video tape and if anyone can help me out with getting it onto a computer Id love to be able to post it somewhere. That was captured in Los Angeles which is crazy lol but its on tape! Well maybe its 4 flares floating in the sky, who knows? But I have proof! hehe

George Noory has a great radio show, coast to coast am you should check it out. He is usually discussing ufo's, bigfoot, ghosts and even some scientific type stuff with the universe. He has a website but offhand Im not sure what it is, just do a search for George Noory youll find it.

Anyway thanks for letting me ramble... again great topic!

This coming weekend, I decided to do some E.V.P work on my own. I will also place my digital cam in front of it. Just in case I do catch something on the audio, I will have proof that it wasn't tampered with. Who knows, I might catch something on cam as well.

Are we allowed to post video here? I can upload them in my youtube account and use their embedded html code to post it here.

Is ther such a thing as ghosties an ghoulies an the like... Have me doubts..but dus know that ther is far more 2 creation than jus wot we c round us.. know peeps who call themselves witchies an wile me doubts they stir pots an cast spells "hubble bubble..." like outa MacBeth, an still hav doubts as 2 wetha they hav ne more power than the rest of us..who can say.. creation is an awesome thing an ther jus so much in it that we will neva know all the ansas.. but its fun tryin 2 get em... so me jus tried 2 hav an open mind much as me can... all ne of us can do...

[Delilah]

Actually, there is nothing wrong with being skeptic. Being skeptic and yet being open minded is good. I have been skeptic for a long time until the recent experiences.

I am now studying Pagan/Wicca religion. I like playing with herbs and creating things. I do believe in all 5 elements. Wind, Fire, Water, Land, and Spirits. I also believe in Karma.
I was growing up Catholic then converted to Baptist. Neither of those religion I was comfortable with. Witchcraft, I'm more comfortable and I feel that it's me. Makes me happy, complete, more toleratable.
My sign is Cancer, water element attracted to fire elements, moon child, and I do love the site of fire as much as I love living in water. I live in South Florida so I basically swim day and night...lol Most of my spare time I spend it in or around water. I practically worship the Gulf of Mexico.

Just recently, I had join the SRQWitch yahoo group. I'm so looking forward to meeting these people in person. I have also joined Wiccantogether.com
Here is my profile: http://www.wiccantogether.com/profile/Dragonfly74
And now myspace is dedicated to Pagan/Wiccan/Paranormal.
Plus I seem to be friend a lot of Paranormal Investigators who is in myspace friend's list. I must of joined dozens of Paranormal Research groups and Pagan/Wicca groups. I am curious more and more each day. It's practically consuming me. These things seems to be drawing me closer and closer to something that I can not control or understand.

lol You might just get something at that..ya never know.
Been to Vicksberg and to Gettesberg. Also to the battlefield where I grew up before going up to the Rez. Its in Corienth Miss. called RC Labouis Battery. Used to run around all over in there during the day as kids, but Mom wouldnt allow us to go there at night. She said the Soldiers Earned their rest at night, and that it was disrespectfull to bother them. So, we kids didnt go there at night.
Cant get on the larger Battlefields. I get dizzy and disoriented when I try.
I know I know..weird half Indian chick..LOL

[FalconAngel]

Oooh I wish I could go! Would you do some E.V.P sessions?

Some of the equipment needed to do any real ghost hunting is exorbitantly expensive for us common folk. But we will be trying to do a few things that we are able to. The experiment in the Triangle for example, is one of them.

But rest assured, that we will be reporting on what we find when we get back.......it's still a few months away, though.

Most of the time, unless they are trying to accomplish something in this world, ghosts don't really care about the goings on around them in the physical world.

But your mom was right. They have earned their rest.

But not much else. Wen it cums 2 religion, hav always maintained, an still maintain that in the wider sheme a things, religion, an the Gods that go long wiv em, wer thot up an developed by peeps 2 build an cement ther power base, an 2 keep the rest of humanity in line by scarin the poop outa them... man created God in his own image.. still hold 2 that..as strongly now as eva. More prob. Paganism an Wicca as examples a modern religion r interestin in that regard. Dunno a helluva a lot bout em particularly, but do know they r modern "interpretations" of ancient belief systems, developed an articulated by modern man at least in part cos more established religion didn ansa the questions wich wer bein asked.. so they tried 2 reach bak 2 the ancient beliefs of humanity, in the main the ancient beliefs wich existed in Europe. Wen me says reach bak, so much of these ancient belief systems hav been lost 2 antiquity, an so 2a gr8 extent, wot paganism is now, an wicca..an druidism bear lil or no relation 2 the beliefs of the ancestors of 2000 years ago save the name.

Don get me rong..am not knockin ne who believe wot they do wen it cums2 religion.. me bone a contention is wiv religion itself..cos simply put, me don accept ne of it... me rationale won let me accept the existence of Gods an Godesses an am buggered if me can accept the possibility of an afterlife..but won know till me dies bout that 1 at least ..not even then if me rite.

Returnin 2 the issue of the paranormal, an ere it is essentially linked 2 the need for religious belief. Goin bak in the deepest recesses of history,the paranormal created a world of myth an superstition wich wos ova time developed inta the religions we know 2 day. In the ancient past religion served the purpose of ansrin the questions of humanity..who am I? What am I? Where did I cum from? Lookin at the big wide world, in is primitive an superstitious state athiesm an agnosticism wer neva an option as they r 2 day... not so it mattad in any case. Humanity had 2 hav a creator..or creators.. omnipotent beins wich existed in ther minds, an created by themselves, or at least the more powerful an intelligent among them usually, sumtimes simply prob by socially inferior an weaker, but brite peeps 2 gain sum power base an a measure of control ova ther peers..an ova indeed ther superiors. These creations wer allocated mysterious an wonderful power 2 explain wy the world wos.. cos they didn hav the werewithall 2 explain it scientifically 2 the extent we do 2 day.

The paranormal, wich shud it exist, an me has already sed that ther r many things we simply cannot explain or undastand plays its part in religious belief.. unlike many of ya..me simply don accept it as owt otha that that..the paranormal... summat we cant, at least, not yet explain..hence it is outwith wot we believe 2 b normal. Many of ya believe it is connected 2 religious belief in 1 form or otha..but sum..even the religiously inclined accept they simply do not know.

Woteva it is.. we will neva explain it all... but wetha we believe in a god or godess or a panoply of em ..believe simply in the Gaia..or believe that ere we r ..this is it.. we all hav our part 2 play in tryin 2 unravel it an hav it an its many facets explained... an in our own often cack-handed way..we all do contribute 2 the debate...
