Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This is my true encounter with a ghost. I thought I was gonna have my heart go through my chest! I was about 7 or 8 years old. My grandfather was staying with us because my grandmother had passed away and he didn’t want to be in the house anymore because of an experience he had with what he believed to be my grandmothers spirit. I was glad he came to stay with us because I didn’t like going into my kitchen in the dark by myself!

So, one night I got up to get a drink of water and for some reason I was just gonna walk in and get a drink without anyone with me. As I walked from my room (at the doorway to the living room) I saw this white, smoky ghost I guess you would say. She was hovering over the arm of the couch which was just across from the couch my grandfather was sleeping on. This “ghost” was female to what I could make out and her hair was long, about to her waist but she looked like she had wings! She was still kind of transparent. She was looking at my grandfather, from what I remember, she seemed as if she was holding her hands out to her side. I ducked back into my bedroom. All this happened in what I think is the blink of an eye, but I got and eyeful in just a few seconds!

I got the nerve back up to go back in there because I was thirsty and I wanted a drink of water or soda! So I went (by myself again) and through the living room and to the kitchen doorway, when there again, stood a fat kind of ghost only about 3 feet in length and a bit bigger than the other one hovering in the doorway. For some reason, I wasn’t scared I walked right through that thing and got a drink from the refrigerator. I looked back to see if it was still there, but nothing. I walked back to my room and it hit me. (not the ghost) I was thinking, what did I just do?

My heart started pounding! Me a 7 or 8 year old walks right through what I thought was a ghost! And not being scared at the time I did it. It was simply mind-blowing! I would put my hand on a stack of bibles to let you know this is the truth as I remember it! We also, I might add were a religious family at the time.

After this happened, I talked to my mother about it and she said that it was probably an angel watching over my grandfather. She couldn’t exactly explain the other thing by the kitchen I walked through. It still makes me a bit uneasy telling that one. But here is something interesting I found out a few years later. The spirits that were there, were seen by my parents but they saw them as the male and female spirits. My mother saw the spirit of the woman one night go from the hallway to our room and then she dissipated. The male was also spotted in the house. My parents had started figuring out that every time they saw these spirits, something bad would happen. I’m not saying someone would die, just something bad. This had went on for the length of time we lived there.

I also later found out we had a graveyard nearby. Just up the hill in fact. I wondered if our house sat on a graveyard! What is strange is, when we sold our house to move by my uncles in a different state, my mother and I think, my dad saw a woman, man and two children holding hands at the front doorway. That still gives me chills!

And since living in that house I have had visions of things to happen or have just happened and get up to see it on the news! My mother has seen ghosts in almost every house thereafter she has lived in, including the one she resides in today! She says she just goes on about her business and they do the same.

As I said before, I will put my hand on a stack of bibles, to let you know that this is the truth. I thank you for reading my true stories. God Bless.
