A true Ghost Story
Comments (20)I sort of agree and slightly disagree Mel. I've never really ever believed in ghosts until our house in Shelbyville. The then little bitty LF (0-2 1/2 years old) would say he saw "line" people. You always felt watched in the front bedroom, where his room was. We woke up one day to a brown ooze that went straight down the middle of the house, but only one side of the ceiling, and not under any pipes or leaks in the roof?!!! Totally weird. One day, my baby boy, ok 2 year old son, said "They're chanting for you to get out." Chanting?! I was convinced. He wasn't around anyone but me or Ed at that point, him watching him during the day, and I watched him at night, and chanting isn't a word I use for anything, nor Ed. Chanting. And the look on his face. Oh my, it scared the bejeebers out of me. Such a small child to have such a horrible look on his face. I high-tailed it outta the house, and called my sister in law. Shivers. That's where the sage, praying, and admonishing comes in. So, here's where I disagree, that night, when he was going to bed, he got his jammies on, sprayed his monster repellant spray, I told the line people to leave him alone, he tripped getting into bed. He got a black eye instantly. Not good timing, maybe. But when I was lying in bed, I felt someone standing behind me. I just shouted, I told you to get out! Flash of light at that exact moment in an empty field behind our house, and never again was the LF bothered. I was mostly pissed about that black eye. You know how every kid has that goose egg forehead? He never had one of those. He basically bounced off of everything when he fell, little butterball. Never really got bruises, except that one. Looking back, the rest of the house made sense. The last tenants left their clothes all over the house, like they left in the middle of the night. Even still in the washer and dryer. Never have encountered any ghosts since then either....See MoreGhost Stories!
Comments (2)We have a gentleman who's made himself known a few times. He bugs my wife more than me, though. He'll push on the corner of the bed when she's trying to take a nap, but he'll also open cabinets for her when she's in the kitchen. I've also seen quarter sized orbs come out of the ceiling and disappear behind my dresser. The house we're in is about 100 years old, and the original occupant died in a rocking chair in his sleep. We're pretty sure it's him. He doesn't scare either of us at all. We've sort of grown accustomed to him being around. If everything goes right and we end up buying the house next door, I'll be curious to see if we end up with any "residents" over there, as well! In all the places I've lived, this has been my very first experience with this kind of thing, and watching haunted shows on tv, it's always seemed kind of creepy, albeit interesting, but it's really pretty neat....See MoreSite of the Day Jan 31

Comments (5)When my Maggie is staring at a spot, I pay attention. Because one time, it was an actual mouse! The only time she was staring so intently. I do think there are ghosts, but can't figure out why? I totally think energy can exist beyond our bodies, and that's what they are. Why stick around though? Why does no one see them at the beach? Or some place enjoyable? Always sad and dreary. If I was I ghost, I'd pick Tahiti or something like that....See Morecarolyn_ky
