Ever live in a haunted house?
I think I did. When I lived in an apartment above an old diner in Lawton. That place was not right from day one. I had a thing where I was visted by beings in my sleep.
I thought it was ghosts.
Other folks think it's aliens.

This is what science says-

But it wasn't. This dam place didn't feel right from day one. It was making me crazy.
Things moved. I wasn't doing drugs. I drank cheap booze once in a while. This was in 1988.
My radio went on all by itself. I heard people running up the stairs in the middle of the night. Made no sense. I was freaked out.

My Ma and Brothers Glenn and Richie said they lived in a house in Rochester, NY, and the German shepard dog usta bark at things in rooms for no reason. Like a certain corner of the house. Somebody took tooth paste and made crosses on the ceiling of the bathroom.
Ma was a Catholic at that time. She moved.

several over the years, including my parents house. pictures,posters and books would turn upside down over night. the books drove my momma crazy, i get that bit of OCD from here about my books being properly shelved.
  my first apartment was on the second floor of an office building, it had a back porch off the kitchen,my bedroom was next to the kitchen. i would hear someone walking on the porch, and a chair rocking at night. there was no chair  there, and the door to the stairs was nailed shut. in an odd way, it comforting, i was very lonely there.

The house above mine - built on a hill rise while ours is at the bottom of the slope - once creeped me out totally back in 1998 when its' owners invited me in. I walked in and felt uneasy immediately: a few more steps and my hair stood on end.  :buggedout:  I asked the owners if anyone had died in the house: the lady owner said that four of her five kids had died due to cot death in the house and I said I could feel them.   :buggedout:

The house was sold about ten years ago and the new owners renovated it totally: they invited me in and I was surprised to find that all the bad feelings had gone.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I never lived in a haunted house, but one of the places I worked was haunted. 


One time when I was opening the store and nobody else was in it, I saw a man standing there in the dark.  (I hadn't turned on the lights yet.)  When I looked again, he was gone.  Also, sometimes you would heard strange noises and things would be moved around when nobody was looking.

There was a time my mother would complain about a strange beeping noise at night beside her bed. We never took it seriously until my mom woke me one night and told me that it was beeping again. I went to her bedroom and yep, there was a loud and weird beeping coming from the corner of her room behind her nightstand. There was no electronic device in her nightstand (or in her bed, we checked everything), the beeping was coming clearly from the corner and not from the walls (my room was on the other side of the wall). I was baffled to say the least, and my mom said "I told you so". She said it usually beeps between 3 am - 4 am for about 5 minutes or so.
Didn't sound like an alarm clock and the beeping stopped for good a few nights later. We never found out what caused this.

My brother insists that a house we lived in on Atlantic Ave in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ was haunted... including him seeing a face coming out of the wall... though I may have been party to any "strange happenings" he has listed, I never got any spooked feeling in that house.  In fact, that's the house where I learned there was no Santa Claus...  and also learned to love Halloween.  Of course, years later the Alexander Lodge in Spring Lake, NJ (Mercer Ave) was spooky at times... but, I'm the one with the stories about that house...!

In my mind there are certain places that just ain't 'right'.
But ghosts of the dead? I dunno, man...that's pretty far out.
But the sh!t happens to folks all the time.  :buggedout:

I lived in an apartment in Lawton in 1989, and I came in one night and a light bulb fell from the ceiling. It wasn't hot. In fact the bulb in the hall light was ON. And it had a glass cover over it. Their was NO where it could come from. I would hear knocking on my door, and there would never be anyone there.
Oddly enough, this same apartment is where my Brother in law shot and killed a guy many years later.

A prequel ghost?  I no longer presume to have answers. 

I used to throw myself down the stairs in the Alexander Lodge (I was about 8)... first step, jump.  Next step, jump.  Third step, jump.  From the second landing to the first landing there were 14 steps (and 4 more up and 3 more down).  Tall house... where my older sister and I climbed out a third floor window and up and out onto the roof and up to the widow's walk... we never did get into the ATTIC of that house, but onto the roof above it!  That was the house where I heard a lady crying, but there was no lady there.

the house my inlaws lived in when we were first married was WWII era and built by a japanese couple. i didn't know that at first though, and after seeing a japanese woman doing flower arrangements out on the patio several times, i asked my MIL who she took the arrangements to? freaked my MIL out big time, as she had had a couple of arrangements show up on the dining room table that dad SWORE he didn't buy.
  she ( the lady) was always smiling though, and eventually i stopped seeing her there. but we all smelled her perfume occasionally, and my inlaws insisted it was just the wisteria by the window. so i never mentioned smelling it in the winter, except to curtis.

I used to suffer from sleep paralysis and would periodically see "ghosts" of people I knew that were still alive. A friend of mine who died in 1996, I saw his ghost 6 months before he died while I was sleeping on his couch and he took his mom out grocery shopping; he came out of the kitchen and said "hey what's up?" while I was trying to kick myself out of my sleep paralysis, and as I was struggling he said "fine then" and then walked back into the kitchen. Then I snapped out of it. My friend and his mom came home from shopping about 45 minutes later. I never got a chance to tell him about it.

I saw another friend of mine in 2014 sitting on top of me one afternoon while I was napping in my bedroom. I was having another sleep paralysis episode, but I didn't struggle this time, I just let it happen. She leaned forward smiling and gave me a kiss, and then I snapped out of it. She is still alive and well in 2019.

I understand that these can easily be explained away as dreams or a half-dream state during a sleep paralysis episode while the body is continuing to wake itself up, but these incidents were very vivid and reactive, and took place in real world environments, namely the rooms that I was currently in at the time. Also, nothing can explain me waking up seeing the ghost of my wife laying beside me and smiling at me in July of 1995, 3 months before she was born in October of 1995. It's like, how do you hallucinate or dream about the woman that you marry 24 years later? That doesn't make any sense.  :question:
First rule is, 'The laws of Germany'
Second rule is, 'Be nice to mommy'
Third rule is, 'Don't talk to commies'
Fourth rule is, 'Eat kosher salamis'

sweetie , do you know anything about astral projection? i can help you learn, if you like.it would help you understand what you see during sleep paralysis, and help you put a stop to any fear. just sayin'...* i'm the resident white witch at present, ftr* :cheers:

Wow, Barri, you can teach astral projection? Then your money woes are about to be forever over, since every intelligence service on the planet and every big corporation involved in industrial espionage (not to mention Ripley's Believe It Or Not!) will gladly pay you megabucks to do that, since apparently all their clinical trials of astral projection (tell us what's written on the white board in the next room....) went nowhere.  :bouncegiggle:

i can teach anyone what it is and how t can be done, but you have to have an innate talent for it, and a great deal of patience for practicing. and a willingness to first, open your mind to your own abilities, and  second, accept years of failing along with accepting that you may never be able to consciously do it.
  most people have been indoctrinated to believe that the powers of the mind don't/can't exist from childhood onward. it isn't easy to get past that kind of brainwashing, especially for those who tend to be close minded about a great many things.
  as for getting paid to teach anyone to open their minds, that's against my religion.  :wink:
