Hey ya’ll my name is Miley Paxus and I just turned 15 years old.
I’ve been living in this old haunted house near the old mill in my town and it’s kinda creepy. Before we moved into this house, it was used as a mental hospital for special needs patients. I was only a child, about five or six when we moved in because all the other houses in the town were too scrawny, weird and ripped apart.
I was 12 when I actually figured out the type of house we lived in. I was so mad at my parents because I’ve seen shows about people moving into hospitals and places where people have died! Anyways, I went on the computer an typed in “Tennessee Mental Hospital 63943.” It came up with a list of survived patients and dead patients. The survived patients were seven percent and the dead patients were 93 percent – just my luck.
It showed a picture of a pale lady with gray streaked hair on the side. I clicked on it and up popped up an article from 1845! It read: Mary Bledcomb age: 93 died of severe mental issues. Turns out she was the most depressed, stressed, confused mental person throughout Tennessee! I logged off the computer and went to sleep.
Our house has four floors. 1st floor holds 2 bathrooms, a huge kitchen (parents are huge cooks), a guest room, an office and an empty toy room. 2nd floor, my sister Brandi’s room (she’s 17), my little sister Noah’s room (she’s 8), her playroom and that’s it. The 3rd floor is my room, my parents room, my office, our exercise station, our party room and dining room. The only thing on the 4th floor is the bathroom that doesn’t work and open space.
My grandma visits every 2nd day. She knew all about the house’s history. Whenever I asked her a question based on paranormal things of the house all she’d say is “Can you help me find my right hearing aid. I think I left it here last time.” Bad excuse once you use it all the time.
I was sleeping one stormy night and the sound of footsteps and screeching screams woke me up. I looked around my room and my computer is scrolling up and down a page by itself. It was that same page with the percentages of patients and Mary Bledcomb. I went over and shut it off. When I walked back to my bed, the window suddenly opened. At this point I’m thinking I’m dreaming so I start pinching myself but nope, no dream I was fully awake.
I creep downstairs to see if Noah’s ok because she hates thunder storms. I see her talking to the window. I think it could be a ghost so I grab my camera and start snapping shots. A few weeks later the film developed so I took a look at the pictures and what I saw was more disturbing than cleaning a heap of pig’s dung. There was Noah standing there and Mary Bledcomb was in front of her.
My Grandma slept over that night and I guess I didn’t realize it but she was also watching Noah disturbingly. I showed her the pictures and she took me to her room. She told me that she should have warned me about this place before when I asked her the paranormal questions. She told me that Mary Bledcomb became mental by the loss of her husband, brother, son, daughter, friend, cousin and grand-daughter. She told me her grand daughter looked exactly like Noah. Her name was Emily Bledcomb, her son’s daughter. I was stunned. My parents knew all along too about this place. They didn’t dare tell us because they didn’t want to move away because this was the only house in interest and they loved Tennessee they couldn’t leave.
Brandi and Noah found out the houses’ secrets too and insisted we leave. Our parents agreed and said we will sleep here tonight and pack, leave and say our good byes tomorrow. That night no one could sleep. We all heard noises in the backyard. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you our backyard is a cemetery! Another thing to be negative about for this dreadful house. We looked out the 2nd floor’s big window and we saw tons of orbs, light streams and spirits, including Mary Bledcomb out there. 1 by 1 these life forms would sink beneath the graves dreadfully. We had it set. Who really cares if its 2:30 in the morning, we were to pack and leave right away with no goodbyes. Now I’m 15 and we still live in Tennessee but far away from any spirited site. No one dares talk about our encounters so we can move on and forget the dread.

Hi Esillle,
Are you sure she’s not going with you? Ghosts aren’t bound to the house they were haunting anymore. The sadness might be because she’s leaving a place that is familiar.
Also .. I am not sure, but there might be a law about telling folks about ghosts when they buy the house. I know there is in America? The real estate agents might know.
In the meantime, as long as having her around doesn’t make you cold, tired and sad its not a problem .. but if that starts, she needs to be crossed over by someone who knows what they are doing.
BTW, I’m in Melbourne. Nice to see another southerner.
Love & Peace

Hi Ama,
Thanks for that information, I really appreciate it. I honestly dont think she is coming with me because I have moved out previously and she didnt seem to follow. My partner is worried that she may follow, but so far there have been no obvious signs that she is leaving the house.
I’m not sure about the laws surrounding telling new owners about the ‘haunted’ house, as far as im aware of nothing has been mentioned.
Is there anything that may need to be done if she does follow me?
Thanks
Ever try to talk to her? I think she likes you a lot. ^_^ That can be a start of a new friendship. Just because you can’t see her doesn’t mean you can’t befriends with her, right? I hope that works.
Hi Esille,
I wouldn’t worry about her following you until she does it. If she does, you can contact me via Victorian Paranormal Connection, which is listed here on the site under ‘friends’. I doubt she’ll get angry with the people who bought the house. Hopefully they’ll all settle down together. Your other choice is to help her pass over before you leave?
Ghosts are lost souls. Spirits generally don’t need to draw attention to themselves in obvious ways, and an entity who can move things has been dead for a very long time. When we die we are supposed to move on to somewhere happier, healthier and lighter, not hang around the living. A haunting might seem fun, but what is really happening is someone who needs help is trying to get your attention, and your energy, to maintain a false existence on this plane. I know I wouldn’t want to be caught in all the pain they experience, as whatever choices trapped them are repeated for them over and over. That’ is two reasons why we Rescue lost souls .. for the living, and for the ghost itself.
Love & Peace

Hi Adhinferno,
No offense intended, but I I think its better that people don’t talk to the beings who are trying to drain us of energy to continue their unnatural lifespan on this plane. When you give them attention you are allowing them to take energy from you, and its core energy, not the excess we all create in our daily lives.
If this was a guide, she wouldn’t need to draw attention to herself by moving things etc. Spirits and guides talk to our hearts, and we get the messages quite clearly.
This lassie is a lost soul. She is trapped in time and space as a child – she should have grown up and died and be back in another lifetime by now. There is a better place for her than here with us, taking energy from us just maintains her illusions.
Love & Peace

I have actually spoken to her, especially when im at home by myself.
when i die i wanna haunt ppl but like joking around not to hurt anyone
hi,
well i thank you so much for all your information, I have actually done some more searching and have found a name that may be connected to the whole situattion. In my head i always has a big ‘C’ in my head, like she was trying to tell me her name. i started looking in archives and i actually found a Carmine M.B. Riley who passed away when she was 14.
i think i may just see how things happen, she has never harmed me or made me feel scared in any way, but i honestly do feel like she is very lost and very lonely. she really needs to go home to where she belongs.
thanks esille
Hi iLoVeVaMpIrEs,
When you die, I hope you cross over like all the smart folk do. Being trapped between the planes, neither alive nor dead, .. well .. you like vampires, so I guess you won’t mind Feeding on the living, because that is what you’d have to do as a lost soul. And its not like it is on tv .. they are not superheros with magical powers .. they are broken souls, lacking love, unable to touch another person, constantly grieving, or furious, and starving .. caught in a darkness that seems to have no end.
Is that really what you want?
Love & Peace
Ama
Hi esillle,
I’m glad you decided that. There’s a simple way to cross her over before you go.
Every person on this planet, and all the lost souls, have a guardian angel behind their right shoulder, an especially trained angel from the group called Michael. It is these angels who are the gatekeepers on the planet, and who walk us into healing after we die, if we let them.
What you can do for Carmine, is bring all your experiences of her into your mind, and then ask your guardian to FIND her and TAKE her healing. What happens is the angels then talk to the lady and help her cross over.
It might sound a bit weird, but I’ve been using this technique for over 14 years and it works very well.
Then you can move to your new home, knowing she’s safe in hers.
Love & Peace
Ama
@Ama: Well, by the means of talking, we can also warn it if it dare to do something to us. But, since the problems seems to be solved., that’s a good thing to hear.
@esillle: Good luck with the technique that Ama teach to you~ May that work well. ^0^/”
