Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

It has been 15 years since our experience with ghosts. My family and I moved into a rental home in June of ’94 in San Antonio,Texas. We had no idea what was in store for us.

I saw the first apparition the moment we moved in. It was a tall shadowy figure standing in the corner of the dining room. It resembled the shadow portrait of Abraham Lincoln as far as stature. I could make out the clothing as well. A black suit and top hat. It kinda spooked me at first, but I could feel it was not an evil being.

Shortly after that, we began seeing many different (seven to be exact) manifestations. Lights (sparkles) falling like rain, an amoeba cloud, demonic faces, floating apparitions, voices like none you have ever heard before wailing, crying from the walls. There were floating clouds and odors as well, slamming doors and cabinets, and soon dead animals began appearing in our home. I will never forget the first time we knew for sure the home was haunted.

My sister and her family were over for the weekend. Around 4:00 am we were awakened by the screeching scream of my niece and my son and daughter from the kitchen. We all woke up and ran to the kids to find them staring wide eyed and open mouthed and pointing at a floating cloud. The kids told us that they heard someone calling their names and they followed the voice into the dining room when they saw floaters throughout the home. We attempted to calm the kids down and put them back to bed, but they were having none of that.

From this day forward our lives were never the same. The visits became more frequent and disturbing. At the end of the first 30 days in the home, the landlord paid us a visit. I confronted her about the possibility of the home being haunted and her response was, “Well Kimberly, why do you ask?” I told her of the frightful night the kids had, and she responded to me saying, “I am aware of a young girl, the home has had spiritual activity for the past 19 years.” I was shocked.

Then we started hearing things being slammed up against walls and voices coming from the walls. I could even hear a faint sound of a transistor radio, sounded like a baseball game was being broadcast. Foul odors started coming up from the shower drains and massive swarms of flies were in the garage. The odor continued to get stronger. The burglars bars that were on the home started slamming in the middle of the night when we knew that they were securely locked and impossible to open or close. We checked them often just to insure the kids that no one was trying to enter the home.

As our friends started coming over for family events, birthdays, BBQ’s and the such, the spirits became more active. Touching our guests, books and paperwork flying off the tables, icy cold temperatures in certain rooms of the home. My sons room was so cold it was intolerable. He began seeing demonic faces appear in his mirror, three to be exact, all of which were instructing him to do things that were harmful. My son at the time was seven years old. His room stayed at a cold temperature. We eventually moved him out of his room and into our bedroom where he felt more secure.

Several months later I explained to our landlord that we would be leaving the home as we did not feel safe, so she had the Pastor of her church come over to do a spiritual cleansing of the home. This was a joke if ever I saw one.  Soon after the activity became worse. More evil and frequent. At this time we were waiting for our new home to be built as we had no where else to go. During this waiting period, I was attacked by the floating amoeba cloud while taking a bath one morning before work. The cloud (looked like a giant cell, electron flashing inside) moving freely about the home stopped suddenly and engulfed my body. I could feel what felt like hundreds of hands and fingers touching me all over my body. I jumped out of the shower, put on my housecoat and quickly ran out to my car with shampoo still in my hair, called my husband at work to meet me at the house so I could prepare for work.

When he arrived, we entered the home and found several dead animals, black birds, a snake, dead lizards, and a black cat dead in the entrance coat closet. I have never been so afraid in my life. I began to get depressed and suicidal, my kids were fearful of everything, most of all entering the home. And my husband began waking up from a dead sleep in cold sweats, and having difficulty breathing. My husband, than went into my sons room which he had boarded up to keep the kids out and found written on the wall “Get out or we will kill you.”  This was the last straw.  We packed up our home and moved to my mothers for a short while as our home was being completed.

The day we moved my husband began feeling pain in his chest. It kept getting worse so I took him to the emergency room. The doctors came back with a look of surprise on their faces and delivered the bad news. Your husband has cancer of the lungs. We were stunned as he had just had his physical for work not six months before and was in perfect health. Looking at his x-rays with the ER doctor, I was shocked to see that my husband was in the last stages of Lung cancer. This is impossible I thought. You were just checked. My husband looked at me and said, “It’s not cancer, I can feel them inside me, the house kept it’s promise. I asked it to save my son and take me instead and it has.” I will never forget his face when he told me this.

While being treated for his cancer, the doctors took many biopsies to determine the type of cancer he had, and they couldn’t. They said it kept changing. Than 10 weeks later he died. He died believing that the ghosts were taking him. And he warned me that they would be back. It was their promise. They would be back. To this day I too believe that my husband did not die of lung cancer, but rather at the hands of the demonic beings that were in that dreadful house. My children also believe that they will be haunted forever. Our lives have not been what they should or could have been due to this. We talk about it often, and reassure one another that God will protect us.  I have been told that I have a dark cloud that surrounds me.

These accounts have been witnessed by more than 30 people from family to friends, to neighbors on our street, and the previous landlord.  Never again will I tell anyone that there is no such thing as the boogie man.  We have seen it.

It was told to me by a Medium that these beings are there as a result of the Ouija board being played with in the home. I have seen ghost most of my life, but I have never been haunted or stalked by one.
