Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This site convinced my friends and me not to use a Ouija board. My friends and I were thinking about using the Ouija board, because there is something in my house. I am 15 years old and I usually sleep in the basement, since its winter it is cold down there and I sleep in the living room. I have a small dog ,he is a shih-tzu his name is Crash, he never barks unless he wants to play or go out and its always a playful bark.

On January 5th or so, I was reading, TV off, and he would just jump up and start to growl and bark. When he did this he would look sometimes at his crate, towards the dining room, and the couch. We do have a cat but she sleeps at the foot of the bed. After he would stop barking he would keep growling defensively. Then I would get the chills. We have a pellet stove on and the room is usually burning up. When he would stop growling the chills went away.

In June or July new neighbors moved in and they were there for almost two weeks and then the father went out to the garage one day and killed himself. I am pretty sure that his son found him. He also had a daughter.

Two days later my mom’s friend came over freaking out. She can see the spirits also and she explained to us that “he” (the one that killed him self) was right next to her telling her something. Crash kept looking at the wall were “he” was standing and at one point he brought his toy there to play. Finally she got the message “he” wanted her to tell his daughter that he will be there for her and he will be at her wedding to “give her away”. My mom’s friend and I got into a fight, she made me apologize and three days later turns out that I am right. She doesn’t come over anymore.

I also live next to an old mine that is used for tours. This mine is the reason my town is here in the first place. There are many stories about the people who died in there and my house is an old miner house, but fixed up and added on to.

I had a theory about who it might be, I thought it might have been the guy that lived across the street looking for my mom’s friend. Then I remembered the way he acted the last time he was here. Then I thought maybe it might be one of the old miners. But why would my dog act so aggressively?

I told my friends about what happened that night and someone told us that dogs can see ghost and spirits. So I planned a sleepover with my friends, Kelly and Duffy, to use the Ouija board. To see who was at my house and what he wanted. I also told my mom about what happened that night and she said that she “didn’t want that board in her house putting a curse on it.” I told her that we are going to look into it more and if there are more good stories then bad then we were going to go for it. Kelly and I made the assumption that if we use pure white candles and beige candles that will cast away most bad spirits.

In the research we were looking for ways to call the spirits and what to do, what questions were right to ask. And then I came across this site looking into whether or not dogs can see spirits and ghosts. I read a lot of these stories and most if not all were bad. I also read the comments that convinced me more that what my friends and I were planning was a disaster waiting to happen.

Thank you for reading my story… this growling happens every other night and sometimes he just jumps up and looks and I assume follow it and I cant get his attention back. If anyone knows of a way to talk to it with out the board. I would really like to hear the ideas.
