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.

The Strangest Thing Happened

*(*The Strangest Thing Happened*)*

Years ago, in a former house that my family had lived in, there was poltergeist activity in the house behind ours. 

Apparently, the story has it, there was this couple and a baby living in the house behind ours. One night, the parents were in the living room watching TV on the sofa and the baby was upstairs sleeping in the cot. 

At some point during the evening, the parents were alarmed to hear the baby crying through the baby monitor.

 So, of course, the parents went running upstairs to tend to the baby, only to find that the baby was fast asleep and was not crying, yet, they clearly heard crying on the baby monitor only moments before. 

The strangest part of this story was a few years later. 

Apparently, one day, the young child was playing in the bathtub with a little red boat toy. Apparently, the parents were forewarned not to let a child play with a red boat in the bathtub, but, of course, the parents didn't think anything of it.

 Then, the strangest thing happened. Apparently, the decorative china dishes on the wall downstairs were spinning by themselves and objects were being levitated and thrown across the rooms. 

This terrified the parents, so they called in a priest to perform an Exorcism. The Exorcism was successful in ridding of the entity. 

However, the parents never found out why the red boat in the bathtub triggered such an event.

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.

A Haunted Mother

~*A Haunted Mother*~

*More Experiences From Rachel Livingston's Mother*

(Above: Holly Federle - Photo Taken and Edited By: Rachel Aleta Livingston)

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

 ~FATHER? IS THAT YOU?~ 

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

I have had several experiences with hauntings.......one of which was my Father. 

 My Father left when I was 4 years old...he was not a nice person at that time, and treated my Mother horribly, which is why they parted.  I can still vividly remember him and taking him to the bus stop. Which was the last time I saw him in my childhood. 

I didn't understand it at the time of course, but I heard nothing from him, until my younger brother, as an adult, went in search of him and found him in California. We went to see him, prompting shortly a brief visit from him when I was 29 and my daughter was 1. As can be expected, I had very ambivalent feelings about him.
He only stayed a few days and went back to California. Soon after that he passed away from cancer. At the time of the visit, I didn't even know he was sick. 

 Shortly after he passed I started to have odd experiences that really scared me. I would suddenly awaken thinking my daughter was standing by my bed, only to see nothing. 
 I was always feeling that I was being watched. 
 Our cat at the time would do strange things like walk back and forth on the top of the recliner meowing at the ceiling. I always had the feeling that he was hanging around. 

When we moved to another house, I was lying down just to rest (I had mono at the time) but was not in anyway asleep.

 Suddenly, I felt and SAW the end of the bed and cover indent as if someone was sitting at the end of the bed.
 In this house, I kept smelling what smelled like decaying flesh. At first I thought if it was a mouse or something, that had died in the wall. The thing was, I was the only one who could smell it. These experiences seemed to happen more in my bedroom at the time, so I never slept in that bed again.....

 I started sleeping on the couch, and did so the rest of the time we were in that house.

 I always felt I was being watched, and felt a presence...it didn't feel good either....

 I was scared. My daughter was young at the time but was also having odd experiences. 

Then when we moved again...I got the guts to confront whatever it was that kept following me around. 

I told whatever it was, my father or not, but I told it to move on and go to the light and to the other side..

 I used Holy Water, cleansed my home with sage, and prayed for whatever it was and asked for God's protection. 
I never had any other odd experiences like that after that time. 

My home finally felt like home.

 *------------------------------------* 

*ANOTHER  HAUNTING EXPERIENCE*

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

Another haunting experience I had was when I was married.
 We lived in a house that I really liked, but learned to live with something, that basically was unique to that house.
Our bedroom was always cold...summer, winter...it didn't matter. We couldn't regulate the temperature in that room.
 I always felt like there was something with us, but it didn't feel threatening. I think it was just a home bound ghost. 

If friends came over and stayed late, they were always greeted with loud banging noises coming from the basement. Many were frightened, but we just explained, that it was just something that happened every night.

  We often heard footsteps...things would turn up missing, only to find them in odd places.

 Once I had my sewing machine hooked up, and stepped away to talk to my husband at that time.  Suddenly, the sewing machine began sewing all by itself.

 We just looked at each other and shrugged it off, as one more odd thing that happened in that house. 

Every time, we tried to go somewhere, the basement would back up with sewage water...every time.

 Like it didn't want us to leave.

Light bulbs would burst, for no apparent reason,
especially when I passed them, sending glass flying everywhere.

 We learned to live with whatever was in the house, and when we moved, the experiences stopped, which is why I think it was only a home bound spirit.

I have lived my life experiencing odd occurrences, and because of my upbringing with a family that had many paranormal experiences...nothing surprises me. I know there are things out there beyond what we can see/hear with our 5 senses.   

 Something IS out there...
believe it or not.

A Mother's Crossing

~My Mother's Crossing~

(Above: Aleta Tannlund and Holly Federle and Rachel Livingston)

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

My Mother had been battling kidney cancer for some time, and was in the hospital after surgery.  

I stayed by her side until she passed, holding her hand and talking to her.

  Towards the end she was in a coma, (She had a cardiac arrest and they had brought her back, but she was in a coma, and hadn't opened her eyes for at least 24 hours).  

Making the decision to pull the plug didn't come easy. I however, looked at her and could tell that breathing machines or not, she wasn't going to long  for this world.  The Doctors gave her no hope for a meaningful recovery after everything that was going on with her. 

 However she was my best friend, and saying good bye was incredibly hard. Plus she had wanted everything done so she could stay in this world. 

 I remember talking to her telling her it was OK to let go, that we would be alright, and I would look after my family, my daughter, my Aunt and my brothers etc.  

She continued to linger....I really didn't know why, and the nurse suggested that I tell her that I would be OK as well.  It wasn't until I did this that I believe she could let go. Even though she lasted sometime after the life sustaining drugs and the mechanical breathing tube were stopped... She wasn't able to respond to either me or the nurse being in the room.  

Suddenly, she opened her eyes really big and was so obviously starring at something in the room and to the right.... neither us us could see. 

 It brought up goose bumps. The hair on the back of my neck stood up.

 The nurse commented on it as well.  Within a moment she was gone. I don't know how many of you have actually been with a person who has passed at the moment of death but it was such an honor to be with her at this time.

  As a nurse, I've been privileged enough to be present in both births and deaths, and I can tell you there is something almost magical about both. 

 It was obvious when she finally did pass, that the spirit had passed, and it was only a shell of who she was, that had stayed behind.

I had a dream shortly thereafter that my Uncle Bill, who had passed before my Mom had been there  beckoning my mother, and had been there to escort my Mom to the other side.  The dream gave me a little peace for some reason.

I continue to dream about her frequently, and I truly believe I will see her again someday...I know she is with me.  My daughter (this Website owner) was incredibly close to her as well...and has had many dreams about her as well.  

  I know that many psychics believe that when you dream of a person who have passed on, that this is a form of communication with the departed, and I really do believe this.

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.
