Re: Do you believe in Ghosts?

OMG - reading this thread has reminded me of so many paranormal things I've experienced - ranging from my own psychokinetic and telepathic episodes, friends (and friends' close relatives deaths following taro readings, ouigi board use, and psychic feelings, events told me by a fortune teller happening (and knowledge of which saved my life), psychic dreams saving my life, seeing and being pulled on by nether spirits, many, many things during the 6 months following my sister's suicide, seeing my deceased grandparents...

I've learned to keep it turned off most of the time, though subconsciously my telepathy catches me by surprise, but I do pray and have been protected by the good light, and I pray to keep the demons away. I vowed years ago never to read card or use ouigi board again, though I sometimes use seance to call my sister.

I have a picture somewhere of her spirit shooting over her gravesite, but cannot find it today. If it shows up I'll post it.

IF you ghost hunt, just keep this in mind: always ask permission before going to a property. You want to avoid situations like this:

Hi Lisa

I have a team of 7 investigators and 2 of them are mediums, I personally do not pray etc but the mediums do and do so for the whole team. They put what they call a protection over the group, visitors and owners of the Location.

On location I do not allow Ouija boards or similar items (It goes against my protocols). Im very careful of how I wish things to run.

Some of these places I go into have huge activity reputations, In the past I have had a nip on my arm then when I looked there was a small scratch.

Good to know. I was interested on how protection was asked for before entering. There's such sacred places on this planet and it all seems like a saddening experience, jumpy and exciting, but for the most part sad.

Thanks for sharing your job with us. It's good to know you have respect (in my personal opinion) for the deceased by not using the boards and such. I learned that respect a long time ago the hard way.

Other than the little bit of occurances I've had I really don't know anything about this business but it is completely facinating me. I'm just curious, other that protocal reasons, why don't you allow a Quija board. What do you think might happen? or have you had bad experiences with them in the past?

Re: Do you believe in Ghosts?

Phoenix. A few things happened in phoenix. At the house we lived in when I was in high school - I came home late one night from partying - my sister was up watching TV (we shared a room)asked if I was going to watch too and I said I was tired and going to bed - I slept on my back with my arm tossed over my eyes - I got the feeling someone was watching me - I moved my arm and looked above me and there was a man who looked a bit like Grizzly Adams floating above me - he had on a black and red pladd shirt - I was up and out of my room in seconds flat. I told my sister I decided to watch TV and did not mention what I saw. I mean hey I was out drinking - lol
Fast forward to a family gathering at a different house - the topic of Ghosts comes up - I mention what I saw and laugh it off - my sister turns to my Mom and says something like "you told her" - turns out, my sister saw the same thing right down to the same shirt. Creepy. Same with the house on Long Island - every one of us kids saw something.
Then I was living with DH and in the apartment behind us at 3 in the morning or so it sounded like the people where moving furniture - loudly. I blew it off and tried to go back to sleep - after this going on for a few days I went to the manager to file a complaint (DH never heard a thing and slept right thru it all) - the manager said I wasn't the first to complain but that that apartment was empty. No one lived there.

Then one afternoon after work I was taking a nap on the couch - I hear the key in the door - sit up, DH walks in, I said hi - he looked at me, didn't say anything and walked down the hall to our bedroom. I layed back down to finish my nap. Some time passes - I hear the key in the door - I'm thinking WTF I know DH is in the bedroom because I didn't fall back to sleep - well to my surprise - DH walks in the door, looks at me and walks down the hall to our bedroom. OMG. He came home, but it wasn't him and then came home!

Still living in the same place - I had surgery on my hand and slept with it on a pillow at my side. I woke up with the pillow over my head being pushed on my face - I was pi ssed beyond belief and reached up and ripped the pillow from my face, it was a struggle, someone was holding it down - its good thing I was so pi ssed off and I saw something that to this day I do not know wtf it was. It wasn't solid - it was almost not there, but I saw it (ok so now you guys think I'm a wack job lol) and it was evil. It looked at me and Then it vanished. I started lighting white candles and asking for protection before going to bed at night.

Thats all for now - I'm home alone

Re: Do you believe in Ghosts?

This is not a Ghost story. From the time I was little, I was always super-sensitive to scary true stories- remember that series by Leonard Nimoy. And then there was a babysitter who watched the bw B versions of the mummy and Dracula- just so scary- I think I was three. Our old house had steam heat, so lots of natural clinks and clanks to keep a scared little one awake. I had lots of stress and anxiety related to school and so I had a difficult time sleeping until my mom bribed me with a reward system when I was nine. I always had the feeling something was in my room, and I slept with a lamp on. It was always just a feeling until one day I saw something pop up on the wall side of the bed. I screamed and my mom said it was a cat. Noo, it was dark and slimy with big eyes. I always had that watched feeling at night, and it got stronger when we moved to a new country house. But I never saw it again. UNTIL, my DH cajoled me into watching Communion, the movie about Whitney Strieber- and there it was- the hair on my neck stood on end- but it was a relief to know someone else saw it. I was sleepless and stressed for days until I said out loud "I don't know what is going on, and I don't care, but I don't ever want to know." No more watched feelings until the birth of my kids, and again I said "I don't know, I don't care, but leave them alone!" I still get those feelings, not as strong, but I definitely get up to check on DD and DS.
Do I believe in Ghosts? Do I believe in Aliens? Yes. No. Maybe. I love the episodes of Sci Fi's Ghosthunters where they disprove the hauntings as much as the ones where there are ghosts.
If I don't believe in ghosts, do I not believe in God...and Santa Claus? If I do believe in one, do I have to believe in the others? Do I take the stories of others as my guide? If I believe in my little raisin alien, do I have to believe in the scarier ones? If I believe in the ghost who comforts his wife, what about the one who nearly smothered Ladyhawke? What kind of God should I believe in... one based on my experiences, or should I take the opinions of others and follow their guide? Is seeing believing...and is believing seeing?
Here's the ADBB connection: Y'all see my restart? 60lbs gone, 50lbs on? I've read the book, I've joined the board, I believe, I know ATKINS works. Am I there yet? Am I putting my faith in something that is based on the opinions of others and following their guide? Am I visualizing a future "ghost " of myself?
I think this is why I love ADBB, and I love ghost stories. It's all a huge leap- for some its scientific, for others a mindset. Yes. No. Maybe. I love applying the science of Atkins to the will of my body.
How is that for a long, wild post?

good thought provoking post Sillyann!

Re: Do you believe in Ghosts?

Ouija boards....many investigators think they are doorways that allow bad spirits/entities to pass into our realm. So unless you have someone who knows how to use them safely, they're not a good idea.

At my sister's college, a couple girls worked the Ouija board in their dorm room. According to Beth, strange things started happening in that room: things would disappear and reappear in different places; if they emptied a trash can, they would come back after classes to find the trash can full again with the same trash; lots of weird stuff like that. By the time Beth graduated, the room had a reputation among the underclasses of being 'haunted'.

Ouija boards... JUST SAY NO! THEY ARE A DOORWAY TO EVIL with NO PROTECTION!

Ok - I'm wondering if your sister went to Queens College... because we sure had spooks in our dorm (short hall). I'm inclined to think it was drawing power from pubescent energy!
