Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My name is Chuck Sanchez. I’ve been interested in the paranormal due to my experiences with seeing and hearing the unexplained starting when I was a child in my baby crib. I can remember theses things because they were very traumatic for me at the time. I have been interested in the paranormal ever since, however didn’t really get on the bandwagon with investigating the paranormal until around 15 years ago. In my search for answers regarding the afterlife, let’s start from the beginning with me and the life changing events that lead me to my interests in the paranormal.

When I was about a year old, I can still remember that I and my brother and parents lived in the city of Inglewood, California on Imperial hwy in a small apartment complex. It was a two bedroom apartment. I was asleep in a crib in the living room, it was around 3:00 am or so when I was awakened by a strange knocking noise over by the front door. I awoke and looked over to my left when I saw what looked like a mask of a hideous face about 5 feet tall from the floor moving from left to right at a good speed and went into the kitchen and disappeared. I of course screamed bloody murder and my dad came in and picked me up and was asking what was the problem and best as I could explain to him I was trying to tell my dad about what I saw and he just said there was nothing to worry about something like that.

A few years later, We moved to Huntington Park California a suburb just southeast of Los Angeles and needless to say we did indeed have paranormal activity there a well. My mother told me that one time she saw a burlap color hooded monk with the robe showing only down to the waist and moving slow towards a fireplace we had at the time.

Then another occasion she said she was sitting talking to our grandmother on the phone when what she describes as someone pouring ice water over her head and she told me she felt something coming towards her and that she began to recite the 23rd psalm and that it began to move away. when she stopped it began to get colder again then she recited the 23rd psalm again and there was nothing else that happened that night. I never really saw anything myself in Los Angeles just heard things and felt things.

Anyway I can go on and on with my personal experiences but please let me know if any of this sounds familiar and feel free to give me a comment or suggestion.
