Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Me and my boyfriend, the father of my first son, had moved into a Hotel while looking for a place closer to his family in Tooele, Utah.  There was an old piano on the floor we stayed in and I felt something cold and my head was spinning. I just figured it was from the stairs.

I met the girlfriend of the owner who had told me that the Hotel was said to be haunting even though she herself had never experienced anything herself.  I never thought about it again.

One day I had fed my son his lunch and laid him in bed for his nap.  I cleaned up and was sitting in the middle of the couch in the living room next to his room when I felt something strange brush through me into my sons room.  My first thought was that it was a demon spirit and it is going for my son.

The room had no door and the doorway was right next to the couch so it did not take long for me to get to my son.  When I rounded the couch there was my son sitting up in the middle of the bed without his covers Indian style staring straight ahead and he just did not look like him, it was the strangest feeling.

I was at the front of the bed and went to reach for him and right before my eyes he was lifted up in that same Indian style position and put back on his bed before I could even blink.  I could not believe it. He still had that blank stare like he did not even know what had happened or even that I was there.

As I was reaching for him again he was lifted and put to the side of my reach I just could not get to him fast enough and I said out loud “now that is enough!”  Then I grabbed him and something made me put him back in the middle of the bed and he was lifted and the bed moved from the wall and he was up against the wall stuck between the bed and wall.

This time he seemed to be alert. I just grabbed him and sat in the middle of his bed that had been moved and began to pray to Jesus.  I just could not believe what had happened I had never seen such a sight nor heard of something so frightening.  I must admit that was the only incident and this is the first time I have even brought it to life and that was over six years ago. My eyes are teary and my back is cold and tight just thinking about it, but it haunts me every day. Will it come back?

May God have mercy on us all.
