Hello, I suppose I will introduce
myself to start off. My name is Clair. I
live in a small midwestern town called Gellarsville. The house
I live in is
very old exactly how I am not sure of. Me and mom just moved
in about two
monthes ago. From the time I first set foot in the house I
knew their was
something erie about it. Kind of a strange feeling like
someone or something
was watching every move I made [you know what I mean dont
you?].You have to
know that I am not one to let any old ghost or spirit scare me
so I payed
the unseen eyes no heed. Late one night I was up unpacking ,
when I heard a
weird creaking noise . Being the brave one I am and thinking
someone might
be trying to break in, I decided to check it out. I walked out
of my room ,
feeling the invisable eyes on me stronger than ever. First I
checked the
front door. Nothing. As I walked to the back the sound grew
louder. "It must
be coming from outside" I thought , placing the noise. As I
stepped out I
noticed the cellar door was open , with the padlock ripped off
!
Rationalizing myself , I decided it must be some
wayfarer seeking shelter.
My bravery fading but still intact, I decided to go down the
mossy steps to
see what awaited there.[Crazy arent I?]. As I slowly made my
way down ,
suddenly my footing gave way underneath me. The last thing I
remembered was
my head making a loud thud on the concrete floor.I dont
remember how long I
was out, but when I awoke it was still dark outside. As I
opened my eyes I
saw before me a set of red stained footprints. Bloody
footprints? My bravey
gone by this time I scurried up the stairs, only to find the
door
mysteriously locked. Now this was frightning! Even more so
when I heard a
long drawn-out voice call my name. I resolved to hide my fear
under the
guise of anger, calling out some obsenities at the unknown
entity. A
chilling laughter pierced the air, making me nearly jump out
of my skin. I
saw shadowy form start to approach me. I am sure I let out a
sceam to wake
the dead. The thing was gaining on my terror-frozen form."Did
I scare you?"
it moaned in its labored voice."What are you?" I finaly
managed to get
out."I live here" moaned the thing matter-of- factly ." No
I live here!" I
yelled to the thing.[I know,their is a line between bravery
and stupidity.]
"Get out of my house!" screehed the entity." NO THIS IS
MY HOUSE YOU
DUMB-ASS!" I sceamed. "YOU GET OUT NOW!" Was I just imagining
it or did I
hear sobbing coming from the things direction.It was crying! I
tried but I
could not for the life of me hold back the laughter. Its
crying grew louder
and more obnoxious. "Please quit crying."said I. "You are so
mean"sobbed the
thing."What do you expect you tried to scare me!"I said. "But
what fun is it
being a ghost if you cant scare people" it mumured."Maybe you
should turn in
your sheet because you really suck as a ghost." I remarked
smartly.With out
another word the thing turned and zoomed right through the
wood of the
cellar door. I can only guess that it turned in its sheet
because it never
bothered me again.
These ghostly tales were sent in by Cathy.
I have lived in the house I'm in
for about 8 years now. We know it
is haunted but find there is nothing wrong with that. I
have been "saved"
from two incidents that I am aware of. I will tell you
about these two
incidents, I fear ridicule so I do not tell others as most
people laugh or
just shake their head as though I have a vivid
imagination. I wish that
were the case.
The first happened about 1 month
after we moved in, I was home alone as my
husband was at a meeting that lasted until 1:00pm. I
have a large German
Shepard dog, and he was asleep on the front porch. I
usually stayed up
until my husband came home just tinkering or cleaning the
house. Well I was
cleaning the house in my nightgown when I heard a terrifying
scream, not
human, it sounded like it came from the front porch were my
dog was. So I
ran out to the front porch and my dog was over by the garage
(about 150 feet
from the house) looking at me wagging his tail sort of
standing there in a
cowering position. I started to call him (his name was
Lucas), he just
would put his head down in a coward like fashion and not come,
I started
getting angry with him as I called him to me in every tone I
could trying to
figure out why he would not come to me, as he usually lives to
be at my
side. After about 2 minutes trying to get him to come I
heard a loud voice
behind me say "keep calling baby cause here I come" well
needless to say I
became very frightened and ran into the house I tried to lock
the door but
it was a hard to shut door. So I ran to the kitchen shut
off the light and
tried to dial for help. You can see the front door from
the kitchen, I
slouched down on the floor and watched the front door, I could
see the door
shoving forward as though someone was hitting it hard from the
outside but
it remained shut, the doorknob kept turning back and forth but
the door
would not open, who ever it was, was determined to get
in. When I tried to
call for help I just hit a speed dial button and my mother
came on the line
I hysterically told her what was happening she said I'll be
right over as
she was less than 5 minutes away. She drove in I'm
sure less than 5
minutes. When she got to my house the door open as she touched
it with no
pressure at all on the knob, almost as if it was opened for
her. I believe
whoever or what ever lives in this house kept the intruder at
bay.
The second incident happened in
front of my husband, but it happened to me
again.
I was carrying a wet load of laundry up the cellar stairs when
at the top I
missed the last step this caused me to tip over backwards,
falling with the
weight of the wet laundry. My husband saw this and tried
to run to help me,
just as I completely lost my footing and started to fall
something pushed me
up so hard, I hit the wall across from the stairs, cloths
basket and all.
My husband said "how did you do that that is impossible"
I told him, I felt
something on both my shoulders on my back hit me. We
still do not know how
or what happened as it is unexplainable, except to say either
a ghost or
angel did it. Some people I tell say it was a guardian
angel doing this
while others say its a ghost.
My husband said whatever it was saved my life as if I would
have fallen all
the way down the stairs I would have broken my neck or back
the way I was
falling.
We have had many
things so numerous to mention happen that we now shrug
off most things, there small things, like TV and stereo going
on & off,
phone ringing half rings then stopping, things moving, windows
opening at
night, shadows in the rooms, we used to hear small voices in
the basement
sort of crying calling "mommy" in a quiet like voice, it
almost sounded like
a cat crying, but it stopped after one night when
I said "stop it! that
scares me" out loud.
The newest thing that just started happening recently is
the "ghost" signs
on to the Internet at night we hear it dialing and connecting,
last night
when I heard it I came out of bed to see what was
happening. It was going
to a site about Halloween.
Ok I was reading a ghost story
sent in by someone named justin. My story is
the same as his. I was awake in my room in the middle of
night sitting up in bed looking at the shadows of things
trying to guess what they weere when I hard a creak in the
living room. I turned fast to look and nothing was
there. So I thought what could it be? I watched
for a couple minutes and then said it was nothinhg hehe! Just
my imagination. Well, I turned and was looking at the
shadows again when I noticed another shadow and I
started shaking cause I noticed that it was at
the side of my bed and I was scared, shaking like crazy.
I was trying to look over the bed but something was pulling me
back like my concious was holding me. I finally
got up and looked over the end but then I noticed something
out the corner of my eye: a dark shadow like creature that
was only 2 or 3 feet high and jumped and I never slept the
rest of that night,
Well dont get mad, I have more to tell you.
Before that, I heard two strange
voices mumbling by my bed and a couple of weeks
before that I woke and saw two red glowing eyes in thw corner
of my bedroom and ran out of there like a rocket
please believe this one......... it is totally true.
I have never seen a ghost but
beleive I've heard some and my grandma and great-aunt have
heard one and saw what they can do......Well, lets talk about
me first: I have heard a water dish (for cows) im sure you
what it is?! Well I Have heard that running in my barn even
though there is no water or
electricity running in there and I have heard a koo-ko clock
in there and my grandma ued to vsit my great-aunt when she
lived in town and only lived there a couple of weeks. The
ghost would creep around at night and wake everyone up and
mess up the house so they moved out.
One night at my cousins house we
were recording stuff like our voices and things like
that. Then my cousins mother called us downstairs to
eat dinner so in our haste to go eat we forgot to turn
of the tape recorder. After about 20 minutes later after
we had finished eating and we went back
upstairs. When we got in the room we had realized that
we had left the recorder on so we rewound the tape and played
it. After a while on the tape we started hearing creaks
and moans and screams all of which we didn't hear
downstairs. Just to make sure that thoose noises weren't
already on the tape we turned on the recorder and went
downstairs for a couple minutes and then we went back upstairs
and rewound the tape and to our suspisions the noises
were on the tape again!!!!!!!
This story is about how much your
family loves you. When grandma died I was
sure she would visit me from the beyond. She did!
One night I woke up and she was
sitting at the end of my bed reading the Bible, she whispered:
"I love you Ross."
This has occured many times since, she woke me up at 3:AM to
tell me I was late for school! Then said: "I love
you," and disapeared. I guess my grandma loved me,and
still does.
Another story from Ross: "The Little Green Man"
One day me (Ross) and Joe were at
his house in the attic when we saw a little green man.
He was about 3 inches tall, dark green, had something on his
head (hat,antennae,bump,?), and was fast as the dickens.
He fled across the floor and we thought he was a rat. He
did it again and when he stopped we saw a green guy look and
smile at us. I don't know what he is or what he wants,
but it scared the crap out of us. This is a recurring
situation, it has happened to many people we know.
