Questions & Comments

I grew up in Alta Loma California. My parents bought a 2 year old house in 1966.
I was 8 yrs old, my 22 yr old sister was babysitting me in the home, she was making lunch, I sat at the kitchen table and saw a women dressed in a yellow dress, white gloves & a white shade hat. She was looking in the kitchen window from outside.
I asked my sister who it was, she looked & dropped the lunch she was making on the floor. She ran outside to confront the woman as to why she was in our backyard.
There was no one there. I asked my sister who she saw and she described exactly what I saw.

22 years later, my mom still lived in this house. I had just been through a divorce & moved in with her along with my 2 children.
My mom was watching my kids one night when I was out with friends. I came home, kissed my sleeping kids goodnight & went to bed.

The next morning my 6 year old son asked me, "Mom? Where did you get that long yellow dress with the white hat & gloves?"
I froze. I asked, "What?!?
He said, "yeah last night I heard you come home, felt you kiss me goodnight, but when I opened my eyes you were standing there looking at me with that yellow dress on & the white hat & gloves..."


I found out later about the couple who owned the home before my parents.
The husband killed his wife there.
I lived with my mom for over a year and saw her several times in the hallway....never anything that scared me....almost like she was looking out for us.

Watcher # 1 and fan # 111.....lol. Cool auction. Please fan back and watch my hair chalk auction / you will be entered in a raffle to win one hair chalk of your choice color.

As for my paranormal story.......I have 2......

1. When I was a young girl about 6 or 7 years old we lived in this old house. for some reason as a child I was always scared of the attic ( I would never go up there alone or go to the bathroom alone, the attic door was across from the bathroom ). One day while I was going potty I had looked over at the attic door ( bathroom door was open due to the fact that I was terrified ). I noticed the attic door knob turn full circle and the door crack open. ( No windows were open up there at all ) I freaked out, finished up in the potty and hightailed it out of there as fast as I could, never looking back. Well as time went on and I got older I learned that a man had hung himself in that attic, before we moved there and the rope he used remained up there. ( My mom felt it was wrong to remove it ). After that incident I noticed other things happen around the house, like doors open and close by themselves, lights go on and off, things would fall, and footsteps in the house at night when everyone would be asleep. Needless to say when we moved I was HAPPY !!! I couldn't wait to get out of that house. My mom noticed the things happen, but never would address them. I think she didn't want to shake me, my sister and brothers. I got more interested in the paranormal and I am glad to say I am no longer scared of things that go bump in the night.....lol.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed the story.

F&W.
This is just something I experienced. I was about 7 at the time and was in the passager seat of a retal car with my mom driving.It had a mirror on the sunblocker thing that you put in front of the windshield.We where just driving along and stopped at a red light.I started talking to this man in the backseat (of course there was just me and my mom in the car)!My mom was like who are you talking to and I said Bill he is a soldier.Of course at that age I didn't know what a soldier was so my mom pulled over into the break down lane and asked me how I knew that.I turned to her and sayed he is sitting int he backseat behind me.No sooner did I say that but,both my mom and me then see him float out of the back seat.My mom freaked out and I was all calm because I really didn't understand what was going on.I look back now and think about it and i get a chills up my spine and a little freaked out but,I learned from that experience and have had more since then.I still get chillsup my spine but,I don't fear what was once unknown to me!

#59 LOVIE, WONDERFUL AUCTION, I have only had a couple experiences, one as a small child, I dont remember much, but at the time my grand mother told me I described her mother who passed away before I was born. But the second one is very clear and very dearto my heart, my father passed away almost 10 yrs ago, he was a gentle, non-combative soul, when I got upset, he would tell me to breathe and count to twelve. One day I was in a mall shopping for walking shoes for my grand baby, I was looking at a pair of shoes in the window, so I went to get my wallet to make sure I had enough money on me for the shoes I wanted and panic hit, I couldnt find my wallet....anxiety hit as well because I do not do well in crowds. I am at this point ready to dump my pocketbook out on the floor of the mall when a clock, very loud started to chime, it chimed twelve times. what felt like a warm embrace made me smile. I calmed down, went over to a bench, opened my pocketbook & there was my wallet. I looked up to the sky, said ty Daddy with tears and bought his great grad daughter her walking shoes and quietly told her they were a gift from someone special. Okkkkkk no more of that!! Good luck with your auction lovie : F, W & B :)

One day, I was in the kitchen and suddenly my mind went blank. I just blanked out. But, I saw a cat. It was a young tabby cat with a red collar. He looked like he was smiling as he came running towards me. Then I heard my boyfriend's voice say, "Sandie, are you all right?". I snapped out of it. Told him that I zoned out - but never could admit what I saw. What finally made me move out? One late night, I was sitting up in bed - talking to my boyfriend. He was lying down beside me. It was then that I distinctly felt two hands wrapped themselves around my waist, and squeeze me hard! That's too close! I've always had paranormal incidents in my life. More than most people I know. I could always handle it before, but when you can feel hands touching you (and not in a pleasant way) that you can't see - without any warning... well, that's just too creepy. I was gone in a couple of weeks. The boyfriend? He understands, and is no longer my boyfriend. I don't want to win anything. I just wanted to get this off of my chest. I've had so many experiences with no one to talk to them about. I try - but when I do, sometimes people look at me like I'm the devil or insane or both!

My dad and I were very close, I was a daddy's girl. So, in 2007, a stroke and his passing struck me very hard and turned my life upside down. My dad taught me how to drive and was always a backseat driver, telling me to "Slow down!" or "Watch out!" when he was riding with me. One day, months after his death, I was driving home from work on the dirt back roads I live on, I had the music blaring and I was driving pretty fast and coming close to a dangerous hill. At that moment, I wasn't even thinking about my dad, but out of the blue, clear as day, I heard my dad's voice say, "You better slow down and get over!". I was so startled, but he sounded so firm, I did slow down and move the car over as far as I could, almost to the ditch. Just then, a big pickup truck came over the hill, on my side of the road, driving crazy. If I had actually been on my side of the road, driving along as I usually would have, instead of pulled over nearly in the ditch, that truck would have hit me head on!!! That truck just kept going, like they never saw me. I know my dad was riding beside me that day! I know he saved my life! I just sat there for about ten minutes, crying, and thanking him. I know it was him!

What an interesting auction! F+b+w! Thanks for checking out my auction http://www.listia.com/auction/9394348-druid-wiccan-pagan-book-spirits-of-the-a

Here's my story: about 10 years ago my best friend and I were into playing with Ouija boards. One night we were using mine and we accidentally contacted a not-so-nice spirit that said some pretty rude (unmentionable) things. We were so busy trying to get rid of it that when we noticed what time it was we were late to pick up her friend from work. We hurried to go and left the board out on the floor in the room with my sleeping boyfriend (at the time). When we came back the indicator had returned to the "home" position on the board and a small lock of my boyfriend's hair was braided and curled up under the clear part of the indicator. It was really creepy! Plus I think he was cursed or something because his life has gone downhill ever since.

ABout 20 years ago, I was moving into my first "grown-up" apartment. My roommate had been living there a few years, and we had known each other for about a year when his roommate moved out and he asked me if I wanted to move in. This house was fabulous, it was an old Civil War era farmhouse that had been divided into 3 spacious apartments. I couldn't wait to move in. Before I moved in, my roommate told me that the house was haunted, that he had seen some ghosts. I didn't believe in ghosts at the time, so I was like yeah whatever. I moved in, and fell asleep that first night on the couch in the living room. Early the next morning I heard a clanging noise and woke up to see a tall, rather large man in a striped shirt, suspenders, and straw hat peering at me. I was startled, so I yelled and he disappeared into thin air. I didn;t tell my roommate right away. Later that day we went to the landlord's house so I could sign the lease. WHile I was there, I saw an old picture of the very same man I had seen in the living room! I remarked on the photo, and the landlord said that he was her grandfather, that the house had been his, it had been built by his father and had been in the family for many generations! She asked if I had seen him, and when I said yes, she said " well he likes to see who is living in his house. He always appears to new tenants!" I never saw him again, but that house had a lot of spirits that made regular appearances, including a lady dressed in a Civil War dress, a young boy, and an elderly couple. None of them were ever mean or scary, they were quite sociable, sometimes quite helpful.

OMG, I can't pull myself away from this page!! The stories are awesome!! Sandie you've got my email or we can chat as we have more in common then we thought!! I am empathic and always have been. If anyone knows anything about astroloy, if you have 5 or more planets in one element (earth, air, fire or water) that means psychic ability. I have 6 planets in water; which is the strongest vehicle for psychic ability. My sister, mother and I all have 6 planets in water. If I'm talking to my sister my mother calls. Or vice versa. I was going to send a text msg. just now to my sister and she sent me a text.

I sense when people are dying and ready to pass on!! My Dad passed on around 2:10 am and I woke up at that time. Prior to his passing I urged my Mother to tell him it was OK to go. That she would be OK. She told me she couldn't do that. He was waiting for her to let him pass. He lingered for months.... My care-giver as a child was sick. I called the hospital in Michigan where she was and talked to her sister. She passed right after I had gotten off the phone with her sister. I came home for a visit to see my Grandma, and it's as if she was waiting for me to come, as hours later she lay on her death bed. She died and I cried out that I couldn't lose her and needed her and she came back. I called the doctor to her side. I felt so selfish as she had come back for me yet she was suffering. I felt so guilty. I was sent home to get some rest and she passed while I was away. My sister said that when she and my mother walked into the room she felt my grandma's presence in the upper corner of the room.

My ex and I bought a home where there was a double murder and a suicide. I did not feel the presence of any of the victims. My ex was troubled tho. We visited that house many times and finally I said let's bring Mac, my dog, to visit. Dogs are empathic. Mac sensed nothing. We bought the house and my son was born there. I never felt uncomfortable; however I did have distinct visions of where the people were when they were killed. I saw how they were dressed, how they were sitting, the surprise on the little girl's face...all of it. Yet no haunting.

I was in London and I walked thru the doors of the Tower of London and immediately heard horses running on cobblestones, people rushing around me and talking, I could hear everything. I turned to my sister, who also has 6 planets in water, and asked her if she heard this. She said no. Deja Vu and I've always been drawn to UK history around Henry the VIII and Elizabeth's era.

My Dad built my family's home in MI, in 1951, and there is a long, straight staircase to the basement. I always shuddered at that stairway as I had a memory of falling down stairs. I asked my family if I had ever fallen down those stairs and they all said no. Again I'm guessing past life experience.

I get around people in person, on the telephone or even on the internet, and begin sensing things about them. I feel their moods, their pain their angst. In public when I see someone troubled, I always look at them, and smile to see if I can help ease their burden. Sometimes I have to get away from people as I go into extrasensory overload.

oh do i have a story i moved to Ms. to care for my mom that was ill. on her death bed she kept telling us to tell my dad that passed away in 2001 to close the door she wasn't ready to go yet. then she looked over the shoulder of my boyfriend and spoke out loud " no honey this isn't a new man in my life this is Neecie's boy friend. 2 days later she slipped into a coma then passed away one week after her passing we could smell strawberries through out the hole house. my boyfriend had one of those gaming camera's used for taking pictures in the woods. he sat it down on the floor was going to take it out side to try and catch pictures of the beautiful deer that was in mama's back yard. and all of a sudden the darn thing went off it is a heat seeking camera the heat makes the infa red lens go off when something passes in front of it. when we put the cord to the camera to put them on the screen there was a image of a person above the bedroom door i have this pic on my fb page I do not know if it is my mom or my dad but it was so remarkable to see it gave me a sense of peace in a way they are together again

I have dreams that come true all the time. I dreamt a former friend was going to be pushed down the stairs and injured at her Mother's house. The irony was that either her mother or brother who were going to push her. I warned her to not linger around the top of those stairs with either of them. Sure enough, within 2 wks. she had fallen (been pushed) down those stairs and broke her arm and had other injuries.

I don't fear the other side, as it is a thin veil between our lives here, and life on the other side. Everywhere I have lived I have heard things in houses I've lived in. It's like the spirits know I understand.

I completely forgot to list my 2nd story......lol.
2. As a child my mother said that I always had some kind of connection with spirits and ghost and was able to talk to them, understand them and pass messages along. Well when I was 3 years old I had gone to my Grandmother's house to visit. My mom was with me of course. I use to go in my grandma's bedroom and play with her makeup and high heels when I would go there and visit. So as usual I was in her room playing. Well it just so happened that I was sitting by the bedroom closet doors talking to someone and my mom had came to check on me, and heard me talking. She said " Silver baby who are you talking to ". I said... " That Man " She sad... " What Man " there was clearly no one in the room. ( At this point my mom started to panic as a parent and had thought that a man had some how gotten into the house and was talking to me ). She kept asking me where the man was and where he went, I had no answer for her, he had disappeared with no explanation. She then asked me what did the man look like. So I gave her a very detailed description. I told her he had on brown pants and a jacket, he was very thin, dark hair, he had shoes on but the laces were untied etc etc. She gasped and ran out the room. ( Me being a child did not know what was going on ) She ran and got my grandma and she told me to describe the man again, so I did. My grandma had this look on her face that was unexplainable. Well come to find out the man I had been talking to all that time ( every time I went to grams house ) and that I described was my grandfather. he had passed away many years before I was born. He died in 1979. I was born in 1983. I at that point in my life had never talked about him with others or seen a picture of him. So there was no way I could have known about him. Needless to say my family was a little freaked out, they would always watch me in that room after that and ask me questions.

1974 Parents bought their first home I was 4, it was in a small town in the suburbs of Los Angeles, everyone experienced different things at different times but immediately after moving in it started with cabinets opening on there own(reminded me of the sixth when I seen it) silverware drawer opening and closing, things missing. This continued for months until my mom said "enough you can stay but please leave us in peace the baby needs her rest, so it stopped, but we always knew he was around, I named him Herman. 1986 mom miscarried my twin brothers (they began haunting the house later when they would have been about 7) 1987 Dad & mom decide to give the house an overhaul (expanded to a huge 3 bed 2 bath 2 car garage, previously was a small 2 bed 1 bath, when u stood at the front door you could see the entire house) anyway the activity increased mostly in the kitchen, but he would walk down the hall when everyone went to bed sometimes he would come sleep in my room, I would hear him sleeping. I was never scared, but it was creepy sometimes.....to be continued.....

I once lived in a very strange house in Fontana, California. It was a beautiful modern house in a very nice neighborhood. Who would of thought anything but the best of it? The first thing I noticed about the house - when I walked in through the door - was how depressed it felt. Like the house had no joy - no love in it. I had just moved there from Louisiana, and put my bells (that jingled) from my back porch door in Louisiana, onto the front door of my new home here in California.The new front door was a very heavy wooden one. It took effort on my part to open it. One day, sitting in the living room alone, I heard the bells jingle. I looked at the door startled!The bells were swaying but no one had come through the door. As I continued to live inn the house other strange things would happen. During the day I would hear footsteps on the roof as though there were men walking up there. Very loud, very heavy, thump, thump, thump! My bedroom was on the 2nd floor and there is no third floor. At night, I would sometimes hear a baby crying, and then sometimes like an old fashioned news reporter broadcasting. At the time, I always slept with the fan on. I put these noises down to my mind trying to make sense out of the white noise of the fan. I really didn't want to deal with it. I had lived with the paranormal before, and I just wanted to ignore it.

Adding to my above comment: One night, when I was alone in the house and asleep, I was awoken by hands on my shoulders and a voice saying " You should wake up now". I woke up and then I heard someone trying to break in through a window and was able to call the cops and get out. When the cops caught the burglar running away from our place, he said he was scared off by the "Big, mean looking see thru man with red eyes" in the kitchen!!!!

That's a beautiful story about your grandpa. When mine was in the hospital dying late at night, I was sleeping. I rolled over in my sleep and saw a bright, white light that lit up the hallway. I knew he had passed. A few hours later, I got a phone call from my mom confirming it. I guess what I want people to know is that these things happen all the time. We ignore them. Think we're crazy, but spirit is everywhere, and continually trying to communicate with us.
