Death Resuscitation and Paranormal Experiences
Well, I have posted 3 stories on this website, these experiences taking place in 2 different places I lived. Currently, I live in the same apartment where it all began for me. Ever since I was a little girl I remember seeing things, or hearing and sensing things that no one else saw. My question would be why are some people more sensitive than others? My sister told me that people who are on the verge of dying or that actually die and are resuscitated are the people who are particularly sensitive to the paranormal activity. And I was wondering if this was in fact true? I was supposed to die when I was 1 year old, I was actually in a coma, only God knows why and how he saved me. My mother said that after that experience, I would always wake up at night crying and talking and pointing at things that no one else saw.
Anyway, To …
Read Complete Story Here...Strange Events at My House
Ok, my story is about strange events that happen in my house. Like, one day I came home from school and me and my mum walked into my house and the first thing we heard was a buzzing sound. It was coming from the bathroom so me and my mum ran into the bathroom and the tub of tooth brushes must have fallen because all of the tooth brushes were scattered on the floor and my mum’s electric tooth brush was switched on. So my mum put the tooth brushes in the tooth brush tub and put them next to the sink.
I headed up the stairs to get changed but I heard my mum gasp so I ran down stairs and my mum was standing in the living room, staring at the DVD unit. I looked at the unit and the candle that we keep on the unit was upside down! The next day my mum said it was …
Read Complete Story Here...A Beach Side Haunting
This true life experience dates back to the summer of 2002, when I used to be employed at one of the more expensive beach resorts in Goa, India. The Indian Law states that no part of the coastline in the country can be held as privately owned except by the Naval Forces, as a result, the beach front of the resort I worked for, was free to be accessed by people other than the resort guests, which the hotel management strongly discouraged. The management, therefore, had posted 3 security personnel on the beach at night to deter anyone trying to enter the hotel property from the shore.
I remember quite clearly that the management was always short on security personnel on the beach. Security staff was either reluctant to be posted there and if they did, I do not remember many who lasted more than a couple of weeks at work. Most would request to be re posted on other …
Read Complete Story Here...The Ghost Who Wanted My Help
Ok, let me start first by telling you that all my life I’ve been able to hear, see, and feel when a spirit is in the house or anywhere I’m at. Oh! and by the way I’m 26! This happened a few months ago.
One night I was sleeping, it was late at night and I was awoken by this tugging of my leg. I thought it was my daughter who she sleeps on her bed besides ours, but she wasn’t.
I got up and I saw from far away in my room a little girl who had her face covered by her hair. It seemed odd but I quickly realized that the little girl was a ghost. I got scared, I must admit it even though I have always seen them I can’t get used to it. Any way she was very stressed out she wanted me to tell her mom that she hadn’t have a chance to tell …
Read Complete Story Here...Ghost Children and Others in Ks Room
My twin sister has a friend who lives around the corner from our house, I’ll call her K.
K told my sister that she has trouble sleeping at night because “little children with red eyes and fangs” crawl on top of her and start pulling her hair and hit her so that the next morning the marks are still there. K also told her that one time while in front of the long mirror hanging behind her door, she saw the spirit of “a little boy dressed in colonial clothes, his hair neatly straight and very pale white,holding a red balloon.”
When K looked behind her though, there was no one there, but as she looked at the mirror again there was the little boy looking at her.
And my sister also said that its not only “children” that visit her room. K told her that sometimes “a man carrying cats comes in and drops them on my bed. The …
Read Complete Story Here...She Hasn’t Returned
My name is Zander and I am 18 years of age and living in Australia. Growing up as a child, I had a very close tight bond with my Mother, until she passed away when I was 11. As I was growing up, my Mother frequently told me that even after she died, she would always be with me. Since she died, I’ve been left with letters and belongings and possessions of hers, but that’s it.
I’ve received no signs, signals, voices, anything. No sign that she is still with me, at all. As a result of that, it is extremely hard for me to let go.
What’s worse is that I am starting to forget things, starting to forget her face and her voice, which breaks my heart. All I want is to be able to receive some sort of sign from her, any ideas of what I can do?
I also have a brother died at Birth when …
Read Complete Story Here...The Tiverton Avenue Demon
First I must state that this is a true account of something that actually happened. If you do happen to see this in a movie (maybe a book) some years from now it is because I am a screen writer.
Jamie, Lawrence, Billy and John. If you guys happen to see this, make a post and say hi. It has been too many years.
The year would have been 1982 or ’83. We all were about 12 years old. Transformers (the toys and cartoon) were big at that time and we were on our way to a local mall to buy some, as it was Friday and we had just gotten our allowance for the week and had been saving toward the toys we so wanted.
It was Summer and late evening as we made our lazy way back from the mall. Taking side streets and talking and BSing each other as boys will do. At the time we really …
Read Complete Story Here...Encyclopedia Of Haunted Places
Ghostly Locales From Around The World
Here is another really good reference book for those who are interested in the paranormal. This book is a directory of well known purportedly haunted places all around the world. The table of contents divides each area of the globe into sections and the index lists all the haunted locations in alphabetical order so it is very easy to find information about a particular area or a specific place.
Stephen Wagner of paranormal.about.com says The Encyclopedia Of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales From Around The World is “an excellent reference work for any ghost enthusiast’s bookshelf.”
The copy I have is the revised edition which has been updated to include dozens more haunted places as well as some new information on the locales that were already in the previous edition.
Also worthy of note is a new section that deals with what to look for in a paranormal investigator and a regional directory of paranormal …
Read Complete Story Here...Demon or Devil in the Mexico Mountains
When I was about 8 years old my sister and I were sent for summer vacation to Mexico with my grandmother. Ok it was my sister and me with two other cousins and two village kids were in the village forest. We had gone to the a small lagoon called the Rock of eyes, sound better in Spanish trust me it’s a lagoon that has a rock that has a face on it. Legend has it that a small girl had gone swimming here without her parents knowing. Legend stated that the devil came down and cast her soul into this rock because she had disobeyed her parents. Ok that how the legend was told to us and frankly that I really remember this lagoon rock. Let me get back to the story.
So we’re walking on a lonely dirt forest road. When about 20 feet in front of us a men appeared in front of us looking into our …
Read Complete Story Here...The Encyclopedia of the Undead
A Field Guide to the Creatures that Cannot Rest in Peace
Recently I have been reading a really cool book written by Dr. Bob Curran and titled Encyclopedia of the Undead. This book is 312 pages with all sorts of information about “things” like Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Voodoo, Ghouls, Golems and other nightmarish creatures and entities.
One thing I really like about the Encyclopedia of the Undead is the index. A good reference book must have a thorough index and this one does.
Whether you are doing research on a particular culture’s myths, legends and stories about creatures like this or you just want to read a good book this one fits the bill. I don’t get as much time to read as I would like to and I usually have bookmarks stuck in several different books at once but the Encyclopedia of the Undead was one I could hardly put down. I read it from cover to cover and …
Read Complete Story Here...The Shadow Lady
This happened when I was about 15 or 16 I’m now 25.
It all started when me and my mate were in my sisters room listening to music. We were talking and having a laugh when suddenly the music started going down. We looked at each other and laughed not thinking anything of it. I turned the music back up and we carried on talking only the music started turning down again. We looked at the stereo and the saw that the knob on the stereo for the volume was moving and as the volume was going down we got a bit freaked out and moved away from the stereo, as far as possible.
At this point we were sitting in the corner of my sisters room only then we saw the shadow of what looked like a lady on the door. We thought it was someone messing around so I called my mum and heard no reply. My dog …
Read Complete Story Here...Give Me A Sign!
Here is another story about my friend. Two months ago he was killed in a car accident. And of course I haven’t gotten over it yet. But here is my story.
Yesterday I found myself thinking about him. As I do everyday. But this time it was different. I had always heard about people asking their loved ones to send them some sort of sign after they had crossed over to let them know that they were still with them. So I decided to try this with my friend.
I sat there and I said *friend’s name* if you are still with me I need you to send me a sign. But it wasn’t just an ordinary sign. I asked him to send it in a song, Sweet Child O Mine by Guns and Roses. That was the last song he played before we graduated. So I asked him to somehow play that song for me.
The next day on …
