The Force

*-*The Force*-*

 I wish to recall another Paranormal Experience. 

 The house my Mum lives in now, is where I used to live before I had moved  out. 

 Anyway, one night I got up out of bed. I walked across the landing to go to the 

 toilet. 

 Just as I walked past the stairway, something rushed at me, like,

to attack me. 

 I felt a force and I fell over from this. I could briefly make an outline and it appeared pretty big. 

 I was really stunned by this. Whenever I stayed in that house, I got the feeling 

 someone or something was watching me.

He's Watching...

*He's Watching...*

 My Nan was telling me the other day that back in the 1970's, she had a

Paranormal Experience. 

 She said she was woken up late one night by 

 footsteps in the bedroom. 

 But, her husband was sleeping next to her, so, 

 it wasn't him making the noise. My Nan said she was shocked to see a 

 spirit at the bottom of her bed looking at her. 

  She described him as 

 wearing Victorian clothing, a big hat, and, a smoking pipe in his 

 mouth. 

  After a few moments he (the Spirit) moved across the room and 

 vanished into the wardrobe.

Strange Vibes

~~*~~ Strange Vibes ~~*~~

About 8 years ago, I stayed at my cousin's house for the night. He doesn't live there anymore, but, it always had a strange vibe about it.

 My cousin let me sleep in his bed that night and he slept on his sofa. 

That night, when I went to bed to go to sleep, just as I was closing my eyes, I saw this black, misty, cloud-like thing descend down on me fast from above the bed. 

It felt as through something passed through my body, and, after that I felt violated. 

So, I slept with the light on that night. It was like something was trying to torment me.

Weird Encounters With Shane

*ROCKING OUT WITH THE WEIRD*

I had a brief encounter in my living room. 

I was sitting on the sofa listening to Pantera on volume 12, when, out of nowhere, the CD player turned up to full volume all by itself. 

The remote control was on the sofa arm and nobody had touched it. 

------------------------------

~FOOTSTEPS~

Also, in the same house, I was again sitting on the sofa. It was just me and my dog. 

The next thing, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and then my dog got up and just stared at the bottom of the stairs, like somebody or something was there. 

There was no-one else in the house.

The Old Woman In My Bedroom

**"The Old Woman In My Bedroom"**

The first paranormal experience I can remember is when I was about 10 years old. I used to witness a full apparition of an old woman with her pet cats sitting on the bottom of my bed in my bedroom.

 My brother even witnessed the ghostly lady once for himself, when he walked past my room late one night. She would appear most nights, however she didn't harm me at all.

 I later found out that, when my family had moved out of that house, the lady spirit I had been witnessing in my room, was in fact a former resident of the house and she did used to keep pets when she lived there.

 Even the family that moved in after us, later said that their son was in my former bedroom and had experienced the same thing.

One Body...Two Places At Once...A Talk With Grandfather's Spirit

.... ONE BODY... TWO PLACES ... AND WORDS ARE SPOKEN TO THE DEAD....

-------------------------

It was in the year of 1996.

(New year was just a few days left)

I don't know much about the time, but it was dark and my Mother was busy in the kitchen, so I think she was cooking..

We where watching TV, some soap my Sister always wanted to see.

Suddenly, my Sister got off the seat and started to walk.

She walked from from left to right, right to left, from window to window.....

She didn't talk, she just walked...

She did it for I think, 2 minutes, and came back to the seat.

She didn't watch the soap anymore.

 Her eyes were wide open, and I remember my Father was talking to her.

 He was asking,

"What's going on?".

 But there was no answer from my Sister.

After about 15 minutes, my Sister "came back". 

Then, my parents asked her,

 "What was that?" "What were you doing?" 

Before my Sister could answer, the phone started ringing. 

At that point my Sister stood up!

She screamed, shouted, and cried for them NOT to pick up the phone!!

She was mad, and angry, at everyone who would pick up the phone!!

But everyone knows how parents are.  They just picked up the phone.

It was a message that my Grandfather died. 

Just 20 minutes ago.

Well, this is what happened to my Sister, at the moment she started to walk...

Her body was at home, with me and my parents.

 I did see her! 

But her mind was in the hospital with my Grandfather.

They even had a chat with each other. 

I don't know what it was about.

 My Sister never told anyone about it. She just said that they talked.

And after the chat between my Sister and Grandfather, my Grandfather died in my Sister's arms!!!

How weird is that!!??

She was at 2 places at the same time!

Until the day of today, we never talk about it, just because my Sister is afraid of it. 

She can't accept paranormal things.

I see now paranormal stuff with her 8 years old son.

But that's an whole different story.

INDRID COLD

- INDRID COLD (THE GRINNING MAN) -

The story of Indrid Cold (also known as the "Grinning Man") is a very interesting one indeed. I absolutely love it and I am very fascinated by it! If you have heard of the Mothman or the MIB (Men in Black), you've probably seen or heard the name, Indrid Cold, as well. Here is some information about him below...It can be hard to find information specifically about Indrid Cold online but below are the best sources I could find on the subject. Feel free to search for other sources online. Enjoy!

Quote:

"Several Grinning Man reports were made in 1966, during the same period as the Point Pleasant, West Virginia, Mothman sightings. These reports were recorded by John A. Keel in chapters 5 and 10 of his book The Mothman Prophecies ."

"The second encounter happened on November 2, 1966. A man named Woodrow Derenberger was driving home in his panel truck after a hard day of work. As he drove up a hill outside of Parkersburg on Interstate 77, he heard a sudden crash. A vehicle was speeding behind him, and it suddenly cut in front of him and slowed down. Derenberger looked in amazement as the vehicle that passed him looked like "an old fashioned kerosene lamp chimney, flaring at both ends, narrowing down to a small neck and then enlarging in a great bulge in the center." The "thing" blocked the road, and a door slid open on the side of it. Then a man stepped out, described as around 6 feet tall, with long dark hair combed straight back. His skin was heavily tanned. He wore an outfit that was made out of some sort of "glistening green material," similar to the outfit worn by the other Grinning Man that was encountered in Elizabeth, New Jersey by the two boys. He was grinning broadly. Derenberger said that the figure spoke to him telepathically and said his name was "Cold" and went off asking him strange questions. Then the strange entity said that he would visit Derenberger again, and he got back in the craft and left."

Quote:

"Indrid Cold, also known as The Grinning Man, is possibly the most famous of all the Men in Black and was present during much of the Mothman activity in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, before and after the collapse of the Silver Bridge that killed 46 people in 1967. He confronted numerous Mothman and UFO witnesses, always with an unnerving and unnatural smile on his face and the trademark discolored skin of the MiB. Chillingly enough, people unfortunate enough to draw his attention have reported that, although he was speaking to them, his mouth never moved, leading investigators to suspect that he was talking through telepathy which would point towards the MiB/alien theory. There are numerous cases of “grinning men” that appear at UFO hot spots around the world that may in fact be Indrid Cold."

Quote:

"Derenberger then claimed that this Grinning Man telepathically communicate with him, asking him a series of odd questions. Following this abnormal interlude, the entity simply stated that: “My name is Cold… I will be visiting you again.”

"Cold then returned to his unusual vehicle, which — as incomprehensibly as it arrived — launched from the interstate and soared up into the sky.  Following this wild encounter, both Derenberger and several other Point Pleasant residents would claim to have additional run-ins with the infamous Indrid Cold."

"Eventually Derenberger would reveal that Cold informed him that he was an alien from the planet Lanulos, which was nestled in the galaxy of Genemedes. He would further claim that Cold had taken him to his home planet where he saw people wearing “colorful shorts” and all the words on the signs appeared to be in a “squiggly, oriental-like writing.”"

Quote:

"If you have seen "The Mothman Prophecies" then you should know the name Indrid Cold. A lot of people believe Indrid Cold is the name of Mothman or Indrid Cold was involved and he was a eyewitness or he was a Man in Black up in Point Pleastant,WV."

"WRONG! The Indrid Cold story happened in ower town, Parkersburg,WV. He was a strange man that came out of nowhere, I think he was a alien man in black but he wasn't in Point Pleasant cause he seemed nicer then the others that were described. Well anyway we were at Susan Sheppard's house and she showed us the original Mr.Derenberger interview audio film, she said she had them all this time. She made a copy of it and she said we can put it on Weird Tales:The Paranormal Hunters. She owns the copyrights to the interview so we have the only website in the world that has the interview!"

Quote: 

"So for the first time on the Internet, and for the frist time released out to the public since 1966. The audio of the original interview with Mr.Derenberger, on Indrid Cold."

You can also find out some excellent information about Indrid Cold in the Documentary I spoke of before in my Mothman entry. It's called "Eyes of the Mothman" Directed by: Matthew J. Pellowski. You can find it on Amazon.com. They also have it on Netflix if you search it. Or at least Netflix had it last time I checked. In the documentary, "Eyes of the Mothman", it not only talks about the Mothman, it talks about so much more!  It goes into GREAT detail about what went on and the history behind the sightings and strange experiences the people had when this phenomena went on. Again I HIGHLY recommended this documentary. It's about two to three hours long but it is definitely worth the watch! I know you will find it interesting and I know that you will LOVE it. Especially if you are a fan of the Paranormal and the Supernatural. If you do watch if make sure you sit through the whole thing. Like I said, it's long but worth it!

Indrid Cold is one of the most interesting and my favorite phenomena I have ever come across. (Besides the Mothman, lol) I hope you will look more into him. It is worth it. Trust me.

THE MOTHMAN!!!!

THE MOTHMAN!

The MOTHMAN is one of my all time favorite creatures. Here is some information about the MOTHMAN and the history of what went on during the MOTHMAN sightings. It's VERY interesting. I love it! And I bet you'll love it too! OK, here we go...

 I NOW INTRODUCE TO YOU, THE MOTHMAN!

Quote:

"The weird events connected to the Mothman began on November 12, 1966 near Clendenin, West Virginia. Five men were in the local cemetery that day, preparing a grave for a burial, when something that looked like a “brown human being” lifted off from some nearby trees and flew over their heads. The men were baffled. It did not appear to be a bird, but more like a man with wings. A few days later, more sightings would take place, electrifying the entire region." "Late in the evening of November 15, two young married couples had a very strange encounter as they drove past an abandoned TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The couples spotted two large eyes that were attached to something that was "shaped like a man, but bigger, maybe six or seven feet tall. And it had big wings folded against its back". When the creature moved toward the plant door, the couples panicked and sped away. Moments later, they saw the same creature on a hillside near the road. It spread its wings and rose into the air, following with their car, which by now was traveling at over 100 miles per hour. "That bird kept right up with us," said one of the group. They told Deputy Sheriff Millard Halstead that it followed them down Highway 62 and right to the Point Pleasant city limits. And they would not be the only ones to report the creature that night. Another group of four witnesses claimed to see the “bird” three different times!"

Quote:

 "The remote and abandoned TNT plant became the lair of the Mothman in the months ahead and it could not have picked a better place to hide in. The area was made up of several hundred acres of woods and large concrete domes where high explosives were stored during World War II. A network of tunnels honeycombed the area and made it possible for the creature to move about without being seen. In addition to the manmade labyrinth, the area was also comprised of the McClintic Wildlife Station, a heavily forested animal preserve filled with woods, artificial ponds and steep ridges and hills. Much of the property was almost inaccessible and without a doubt, Mothman could have hid for weeks or months and remained totally unseen. The only people who ever wandered there were hunters and fishermen and the local teenagers, who used the rutted dirt roads of the preserve as “lover’s lanes”"

Quote:

"And stranger things still took place..... A reporter named Mary Hyre, who was the Point Pleasant correspondent for the Athens, Ohio newspaper the Messenger, also wrote extensively about the local sightings. In fact, after one very active weekend, she was deluged with over 500 phone calls from people who saw strange lights in the skies. One night in January 1967, she was working late in her office in the county courthouse and a man walked in the door. He was very short and had strange eyes that were covered with thick glasses. He also had long, black hair that was cut squarely “like a bowl haircut”. Hyre said that he spoke in a low, halting voice and he asked for directions to Welsh, West Virginia. She thought that he had some sort of speech impediment and for some reason, he terrified her. “He kept getting closer and closer to me, “ she said, “ and his funny eyes were staring at me almost hypnotically.”"

Quote:

"Whatever the creature may have been, it seems clear that Mothman was no hoax. There were simply too many credible witnesses who saw “something”. It was suggested at the time that the creature may have been a sandhill crane, which while they are not native to the area, could have migrated south from Canada. That was one explanation anyway, although it was one that was rejected by Mothman witnesses, who stated that what they saw looked nothing like a crane".

It is an amazing documentary that will give you the chills! It is by far my favorite and the best documentary that I have ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend it! It is defiantly worth the watch! It is very interesting. It may be two to three hours long but like I said, it's worth it. Trust me. I love it. I know you will love it too. 

---------------------------

Two EXCELLENT books about the MOTHMAN that I would highly recommend are:

The fist one is: 

"MOTHMAN: THE FACTS BEHIND THE LEGEND"

BY DONNIE SERGENT, JR AND JEFF WAMSLEY

The second one is:

"MOTHMAN: BEHIND THE RED EYES" 

BY JEFF WAMSLEY 

You can get "Eyes Of The Mothman" on Amazon.com. Or you can search it on Netflix. You can also get the two books I spoke of above at Amazon.com.

Well that's all I got for you. The MOTHMAN, Fact or Legend? It's up to YOU to decide.

JoJo's Story

I've been having paranormal experiences since childhood all the way into adulthood on and off for years. I've always had this self motivation to find out the answers to my experiences but It's hard to ask questions, when you don't know what to ask, Its hard to ask for help, when you don't know what you want help for at least that's the case with me. The stories I'm about to share with you guys I've never really shared with anyone but I'm willing to put myself out there to not only help myself but maybe somebody else.

I was 7 or 8 years old when this event happened, Me and my mother where living in a two bedroom apartment. We lived in this complex for a little over 6 years before we moved out. One night, I woke up to the sound of voices in my room, I thought it was my mother who loved to stay up all hours of the night watching television or turning up the radio but when I lifted my head up from my pillow It was pitched black, I called out to my mother after waiting a few seconds, I did it again but there was nothing, no response at all. I gave up and headed back to sleep as I was trying to fall asleep again the conversation started, It sounded like children in my room. I lifted myself out of bed and asked if anyone was there? as I sat there in the dark in my bed, again I heard nothing but at this point I was starting to get scared but instead of calling out to my mother again, waking her up for no real reason didn't seem logical at the time.

I layed back down again but this time I had no intentions of trying to head back to sleep. Instead I was wiling to just listen as put my covers over my head and started to sweat. I was to scared to do anything more, finally within minutes the conversation started again but it was clear as day as to what they were talking about. I heard what sounded like two children at the edge of my bed. They said that they wanted to scare me, they wanted to pull my covers off my bed and drag me off the bed. Within seconds of hearing this, It happened. They lifted my covers out from under my feet. I felt hands touching my ankles and drag me off my bed. I screamed for my mother when she arrived in my room which was just around the corner from hers and told her what happened. She looked at me in disbelief and didn't say a word to me but I slept in her room that night.

Within a few days of this happening I was in my mother bedroom laying on her bed like I wasn't suppose too talking on the phone with a friend of mine. The lights where on and my mom was in the kitchen making food. I kept getting this odd feeling that something wasn't right, something was off. I kept looking around my moms room, In the door way, behind me where her dresser stood. It was massive this wood dresser It has a big mirror that stood on top of the surface and tons of storage places to put things. My mom has this little mirror with a stand it was black, I kept turning my head at it as I'm talking. All the sudden something appeared in the mirror, I just hung up the phone. I got up from my mother bed and there it was looking at me and me looking at it. The figure in the mirror looked like someone was burned, This person was completely black. It's eyes where noticeably distinctive, the out outside looked normal but the color of its eyes where I believe black, maybe a dark brown color. It had a smile that looked just suspenseful. It was like looking at a school picture of someone, if you were to look at one that's what I was seeing and looking at in the mirror. I called my mom her bedroom, when she arrived I asked her if she could see it in the mirror over and over again, saying its there looking at us. But she kept shaking her head in disbelief like I was making this up but she said she wasn't seeing it. That person was in the mirror for a good few minutes and disappeared, It looked like a child.

I was scared, alone and didn't know what to do. I came up with a plan to talk to a priest, I thought what a better way to get answers then a priest. I went to my local church that was a few blocks from my house, I walked into the church the hole place scared me because I just remember the inside being all red from the carpet to the chairs to the walls. Some of the place setting however where either gold or a light brown colors. I remember the priest coming out to talk to me, sitting beside me. I asked the priest if he believe in the paranormal, if he believed in heaven and hell, he generally said yes with a yes came a story of his own. He said that something happened in the church that he couldn't explain, A few days earlier He was in the church alone working and heard something fall to the ground. He walked to the area of where he heard the sound, It was a stand that had rows of candles that were already lit and inside a light red glass but no fire came brushing out and no candles didn't break. He brought some water to put out the candles and cleaned up whatever mess there was. As I was about to leaving and Thanking him for his time, he said to me if you are having paranormal experiences, just pray. Just pray and god will take care of it.

That was the last time I talked to a priest about my paranormal experiences. While attending school, I found out there was a murder within the grounds of the area, there was blood with the park us students use to play. A little girl who was about my age at the time was raped and murdered by a group of gangs and the body was found in a small lake that sat next to the school. They found the body of the girl a within the same time peroid I saw the small figure in the mirror and the childeren I heard on the edge of my bed in my bedroom. Is there a contection? Let's not get ahead of ourseleves just yet, I'm not done, one more. If this last story offendes anyone or rubs someone in the wrong way I'm sorry that wasn't and isn't my intention I sincerely apperiate your imput at the end. It's really hard for me to tell this last part but I firmly believe I'm doing the right thing by telling it.

In my late teens, I was in my bed sleeping, All the sudden during the middle of the night. I was being held down face down on my pillow gasping for air. I tired to shout out to my mother who was literally sleeping next to me but everything time I tried to say something or gasp for air or fight I lost my energy, my strength to do anything. Laying on my stomach, hands above my head and laying straight, somebody was putting there hole weight on me and doing a sexual act upon me. I thought it was a room mate to be honest because me and my mom had room mates. It was a couple a man and women. I thought the gentlemen snuck into my room and was raping me but he wasn't. I don't know where he was at the time but he wasn't with me. Finally after a few minutes of going back and forth between me trying to shout and break free from this person. I asked to see it, I said let me see you. Let me see you, It released one of my arms enough for me to have a peep hole through my arm pit. It was the same figure on saw in the mirror as a child. This person was a dark figure burned, the eyes where visual but the color was black. After I saw it, It left. I was finally able to release full air, I was able to breath, I got up like you would get up from having a terrible nightmare. It was completely silent in the room, I looked to my mother who was sound asleep and I didn't hear a sound. I didn't wake my mom up, I didn't want to bother her this time with my experience because I just didn't want to wake her and tell her. I layed right back in bed with my eyes open for a while and eventually feel right back asleep. I haven't mentioned this to her ever, its a personal choice I've chosen to make.

Thank you all for reading my story

Shadow Figure Inside the Porch. / January 28, 2012

(Real names have been replaced)

Holy Shit. Last night my husband, his friend, and I were at a friend's house. Jeff (my husband) and his friend, Jake, and I saw something that we couldn't explain.

Ok, let me explain the set up of the house first. In the living room there is a couch. The couch is close to the door that leads out to the porch. It's one of those inside porches. The door has a small window in it. And when you look out the window in the door, you can see the porch from inside the living room. The door has one of those fancy curtains that is kind of see through, with fancy holes in it, covering the window, that looks out onto the porch. It was night time and dim in the room that we were in. The porch light was on. You can see the porch through the window when sitting on the couch.

Okay, here is what happened: All three of us were siting on the couch (the people who owned the house were in the other room) and for some reason the three of us looked out the window and all three of us saw a black figure walk by the window. And I mean close to the window. It looked like someone was inside the porch walking by the window and we all saw it. Jake freaked out and ran to the door to see who was in the porch but no one was there!!! We didn't even hear foot steps or anything. We just saw this human, dark, shadow figure. Crazy isn't it? I am so glad I was not the only one to see it. lol. Two other people, other than myself, had seen it too, so that's a good thing. lol.

My friends, who actually owned, and lived at that house, said they have never experienced anything strange like that before in their house, ever.

Demons, what are they? - UPDATED!

What do you think they are? Fallen angels, creatures from other dimensions, good or bad or neutral demons or aliens or something that simply does not exist? Quite a few religions have demons in them. Any theories you have? I would love to hear them

 Ok, here is my opinion. I believe that demons were around before man (of course). I believe that they are beings from other dimensions or parallel universes or what not that have found a way into our world/dimensions and have had a huge affect on mankind. I believe they are capable of both good and evil. There are many names for demons and many different beliefs. And don't get me wrong, I respect others beliefs and point of views about demons and wont dismiss the possibilities of other beliefs, if that makes sense. I am a very open minded person. I will consider all the possibilities. But above is my personal belief. 

I believe they have free will to do good or bad, They choose to be good or bad towards people. Just like we can be good or bad towards people. IMO Demons can be misunderstood sometimes. I believe they can do acts of good as well. Can you imagine a world with out demons? As I said before they have had a huge impact on mankind.
