 This is where I lived when I first met Lillie Peterson Oaks, the ghost who gave me her story in a number of visitations. Am I insane to believe this? I hope not… I’m sorry if my writing skills lack the “gen-say-qua” needed. I know that is a French word and I’m sure I’ve misspelled it, but my understanding of it’s meaning comes from family tradition. You do know that the Native America people of Appalachia learned French long before they learned English. I know this means style, technique and something that is beyond words, but writing is about words. I hope my skills as a wordsmith will grow as I continue to tale the story that was given to me by a ghost. ( Read more... ) |

a ghost story...the start of my writing obsession
Ghost story I think I may have mentioned that this story character “Lillie” was given to me by a ghost. Haven’t I? Well…maybe I should share how I ended up having a powerful visitation by a mulatto ghost on a small high-valley organic farm in the middle of nowhere in southwestern Virginia, vaguely near VA Tech, about 15 years ago. “Don’t worry none about them, they’re just fools,” my ghost reappears to me once they go down the highway, gunning the engine of the big diesel pickup truck. “You remembers dat daylily you moved, da one dat blooms silvery an’ pink? Dat was mine, it marked where my love laid me t’ rest. Our boy built dat house. Oh, I wish’t I’d lived to see it, him treated just like white folk…” |

New!
Hi, My name is Hannah. I'm new to Livejournal and I was researching into topics or communities that I could be apart of. I am a member of a paranormal group and ghost hunting is my favourite hobby. I have always believed in spirits, ghosts but I have also always been frightened of the unknown. There is nothing more exciting then investigating haunted buildings and to be able to communicate with spirits, definitely fills me with adrenaline.

strange things occuring
Hi all, I joined this community several years ago, cos I'm fascinated with ghost stories, though i have always been pretty much of a skeptic myself. I can say though, that, I have leant towards believing in ghosts as oppose to not; in other words, was 90% believing in them. -- I've had a few things happen to me when I was younger to make me wonder, however, now, I have got quite a few things happening in my place and, I am wondering what you think. and I would like some answers as the events that have been occurring lately have been getting quite annoying.

First Post...
First off... I just joined so obviously this is my first post. I was reading some of the earlier entries before I decided to post anything. Quite a lot of topics/stories caught my interest, since I often experience the same thing. One of the stories which made me decide to post is the one from gipsy. Asking about if ghosts/spirits have the tendency/habit to follow us around or attach to us. I would like to share my own experience with that sort of thing, or rather, my boyfriend's experience. Note: Shadow plays a major part in this experience. But since spirits sometimes manipulates (I believe they can) lots of things, I've decided to post this. My boyfriend has been staying at my place for almost 4 months now. Before he moved here we would constantly talk to each other on the phone and sometimes he would share stories on how spirits seem to "like" him and follow him around. I have my own business (Computer Rental Business) and he basically helps me out. Our building has two floors. The first floor holds different business establishments (aside from mine) while the second floor serves as our "living quarters". One afternoon, at about 4 PM, my boyfriend took a shower and decided to go down (to the comp shop) to check on our other friend (who is also helping me out). I was still asleep. There were just the two of us at that time. On his way down he heard someone call him. Not by name, but by uttering "Pssstt..." "Psstt.." My boyfriend, thinking it was me, turned, and walked back to our room. He saw me still sound asleep. Bewildered, he shrugged it off and went down the stairs. Now, you have to walk a bit (from the stairs) before reaching the back door of our shop, and most of the time it's dark since it's a closed area. So, it is possible for your shadow to get mixed with a lot of other shadows which can cause lots of crazy shapes. For some reason, my boyfriend glanced at his own shadow. As soon as I woke up and went down to check on them, he told me what happened. I shivered, despite the weather, because, I realized, that before I went down someone called me as well. "Pssttt..." The only difference is, I didn't look at my own shadow. Now I wonder, if at that moment I did look... will I see the same shadow stalking mine?

Just joined.
I have always been into the whole paranormal scene, and I've had this sort of "sixth sense" since I was really little. Ever since my dad died, I've been expierencing a lot more crazy stuff. Most recently, I was in the bathroom washing my face, and I hear what sounded like footsteps directly above me. They were very loud and kind of intimidating, but I went upstairs to check it out. I saw nothing. But as I walked down the stairs, I listened to my own footsteps, followed by someone elses. We were definitely walking at different paces. And also, my mom saw a figure appear in front of her, but she was sitting down as they were standing, so she only saw the bottom half. When she was describing it to me, I told he I saw the same thing earlier this year next to my bed. The gray-green tint that layed apoun the sort of foggy exterior was eerie enough, but I told her I saw them wearing kind of shorter shorts and she was describing it to me perfectly. I don't know, just decided to post a couple of odd things that happened to me lately. Figured it'd be a nice icebreaker for this newbie ;D |

I need help with a haunting.
My house is not an old one. My grandmother and grandfather bought it in the late 1960's to accommodate their family, which including three children and one on the way. They were the first to live in it. For years it was a normal, peaceful home; but lately it's become something else, and I'm not quite sure how to deal with it. Should I just leave it be? Is there something I should do or someone I should call? Are there any experiments anyone could recommend? Please, I need help.

Checklist for a good ghost hunt?
In July, a co-worker's daughter (and friend of mine), a bunch of other people, and I are going to Waverly Hills Sanitorium in Kentucky. It's an abandoned hospital where people with TB were sent pretty much to die in the early 1900s. We may be able to upgrade to the guided tour/overnight stay (hopefully!). My friend, who is an avid ghost hunter, has all the really neat gear -- sensors and whatnot. I already have a good digital camera/camcorder and a few 1 GB cards. So, is there anything else I should bring? I was thinking about looking into a really good voice recorder. I'm sure my friend has one, but I want my own. Thanks, |

I think I saw a black cat in my parents' room. It had short hair, green eyes and an angular face. My heart literally stopped when I saw it. I blinked and it was gone. I don't have any cats...the only pet I have is a Beta...and he's red.

new, some intresting info
Hello. My name is Athena. I'm new to this group. I'm 17, a senior in high school and a firm believer in ghosts. I don't see a reason not to believe in them, i mean after all we all have souls don't we? an energy that keeps us going, and after we go the energy must continue. any way. I have many ghost encounter stories especially from when i was younger. I shall post those up later. until then i would suggest looking for a book called "hell house and other true hauntings from around the world" by Alison Rattle and Allison Vale. This book is pretty awesome and it only cost me 10 Bucks at barnse and nobles.

New Member
Hey there! I'm Caity, and I'm a new member to this community. I've been looking for a good supernatural based community for a while, for simple interest-sake, and to maybe get some suggestions on a problem my boyfriend's been happening (since a few other communities I've tried have turned up nothing). I'm 18 and from Canada, and have had an interest in the supernatural since I was about 7 or so. It both scares and intregues me. Anyways, I guess I'll present my issue below, as snipped off another community I've posted to (to save having to type it all out again)... ...Any suggestions, thoughs, ect, would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks very much!

I'm not sure if I dreamt this or if it was real: Okay, well, I was sleeping over at my boyfriends last night and he starts his first day of working at 5am today, so he accidently woke me up at 4am, I spent almost an hour trying to get back to sleep. Well, I finally managed to and a few minutes later, I feel this immense pressure. It's sort of like when you start to feel your legs going to sleep from sitting on them too long (and you don't want to move them), but this was from my chest down to my knees and I couldn't move. Well, I start to nearly panic going "It's like that thing in my dad's room!" (incident below) and I start thinking I have to yell at this thing to get off. I can't do anything, so my breathing becomes rapid and I'm thinking "Please let tubby wake up now!" so that maybe if he sees me in distress, he'll get me to move. I figure I can't just lie there and do nothing, so I get myself to move my arms and I just jolt my entire body. I'm guessing it was like 5am or 5:30am by then, so I'm just lying there, terrified, since I can't tell if I dreamed it or if it actually happened. What freaked me out more is as soon as I calm myself down enough to try to go back to sleep, I hear this growling practically next to me. That jolts me awake for a few minutes. I try again and next I hear someone walking over chip bags (I left an empty one next to my bag). It didn't help that everytime I tried to go to sleep after that, I felt the same pressure either on my arms or my legs. I finally had to curl up into a tight ball before I could go to sleep. Maybe I had a vivid dream and it affected me physically when I woke up, and then that triggered my imagination whenever I tried to go back to sleep. Or it was one of the spirits in the apartment (there are 2 shadows and another, who's a peeping tom). I'm not jumping to any conclusions as to what happened. ( The incident in my dad's room ) ( Just one that's still been on my mind ) Any thoughts?

First post (new here :)
This'll probably sound real stupid and made up... I was standing at the end of my hallway contemplating getting a drink from the kitchen. I looked down the hall and saw it. Dark, standing no higher then 4 feet. Just standing. I couldn't make out a face. It was very dark. A little light shown in from the window behind it and it blocked nearly 90% of it. That's the only reason why I knew it was there. I couldnt move. I hate that. I hate that so much. What if it came forward? What if it moved? I don't know what I'd do then. I guess I could run into the bathroom. But then what? stay in there till Mike (my boyfriend) woke up? yeah right... How stupid I would feel... I couldnt blink. I kept thinking of this little movie I saw on the computer once of a face that kept getting closer and closer. It was creepy. But I thought that if I blinked it would get closer and I wouldnt even notice it until it was to close for me to run. But then there was the light. The light from the window was there again. It was gone, and I actually watched it disappear. Even tho I could see the light again and I knew it was gone I could still feel it for some reason. Usually that feeling, the feeling of a presence the feeling of eyes watching, goes away but this time it didn't. I didn't want to see it again so I ran. Not backwards but forward into my room (a few feet away). I don't know why I feel safe in my room. It's just as dark. But unlike every other room in that house I never once got those feelings. Never. Well when the sun comes up everything will be back to normal and I won't even be sure it really happened. I'll tell Mike and it'll sound really stupid and made up even to me. Not that it doesn't already. Oh well...... I wrote this a few days ago and thought i might share since i havnt posted anything before. The weird thing is that I have seen other things before in this house (mikes house) but the feeling always goes away almost immediatly after whatever happens is over or gone i should say. But for the past few days I've been ok in my house but when I get in my car those feeling start again. The scared feeling... the feeling of not being alone, even while I'm driving! who the hell gets scared in a car...lol... I have seen alot of things in my days growing up but this is the first time I've ever felt that way outside... I wonder why? ... feel free to comment if you have any insight...

Thoughts?
Do you think it's possible for a ghost to attache itself to you and follow you? The reason I'm asking, is because this morning while I was upstairs, I heard definite footsteps coming from downstairs. Usually it wouldn't surprise me because for some reason when you walk through the kitchen it's very loud, except I was alone in the house. It lasted several minutes and then stopped as suddenly as it started. My husband confirmed that he was indeed at work at that time and now I'm just wondering what other explanations there could be...I've had my share of paranormal encounters but nothing like that has ever happened in this house. Now, I did go babysit for some guests at the hotel I work at last night, and it is haunted. Could it be that one of those ghosts followed me? Why now? I've worked there for 2 years... |
