Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Yeah I saw that, it was very scary!

My father in law passed about a month and a half ago. We have his car in the drive. When DD came home late at night the dome light came on and the horn honked as she came up the drive.
None of us were up at the time. Now she sleeps with the light on in her room. She is 19 years old.

There is a story told in the Seattle area by the descendants of the early residents. It seems a local captain required and nudged his boat up onto the shore of the Sound by his house. He spent his days sitting on his old boat and just hanging out with it.

When he died the mourners at his funeral were shocked when his boat drifted up to the shore by the cemetery and grounded there during the service. At the end they looked up and the boat was gone. It beat them back to his house.

Some fool burned the boat because they thought it was haunted; it seems to me that it was a disservice to the spirit of the boat which apparently mourned its companion. It's an old belief that boats, especially those built of wood, have spirits of their own.

I have personally had two experiences that I cannot explain.

The first one happened at Depoe Bay, Oregon. I was watching a guy go back and forth on the deck of a fishing boat named Cougar, between the house and the motor box. What made me notice was that people walked by on the pier without giving him a hello, and both he and the boat seemed a little washed out, as if there was a light fog between the boat and where I stood on the highway bridge over the channel. The boat left the dock and headed for the narrow opening of the harbor, sailed towards us, and went out of view. I moved across the road and couldn't see it in the channel, nor could I find it in the harbor. I was puzzled because I had pointed it out to my husband and he didn't seem to have seen it at all. Later, when I got home, I received a new book I had ordered online. In it was a description of the sinking of the Cougar, a fishing boat out of Depoe Bay. It had a leak and the captain had gone back and forth to look in the motor box to try and find the cause of the leak.

The other one was driving into a Gold Rush town in California in the dark early in the current financial depression. We were proceeding down the highway my husband and I both saw what appeared to be a man hanging in a tree. We thought we had just discovered a suicide and went back to look and saw nothing and no one in the tree. I think the town was called Sonora. The story gets stranger. Some time later we were on the same route at night with a friend and we all three saw it. She was alarmed and wanted us to go back. She thought we were crazy when we told her we had seen it before, and if we went back, we wouldn't find anyone hanging because we hadn't the first time we saw what appeared to be a hanged man in the tree.

Another experience I had, shared with my brother, my father, my brother's girlfriend, and a friend of mine was after my mother died. Each of us independently heard her footsteps, a particular sigh she used to make, and felt she was in the house. We didn't tend to discuss it. My brother's girlfriend brought it up to me; my good friend was very uncomfortable entering the house; but it wasn't discussed. After the house was remodeled, the phenomena seemed to stop and one night after that I had come back to town and my Dad, my brother, and I went out to dinner and the subject came up and we realized we had all experienced it but had been uncomfortable bringing it up for various reasons.

The father of a friend of mine died several years ago and he seems to be haunting the farm. My friend hasn't seen him but several other people have. People who never met him or even knew about him. One night the vet was working in the barn alone and saw a man watching her. When she turned around again to speak to him he was gone. She later asked my friend who that man was. My friend told her that as far as she knew no one else was on the property at the time. She asked the vet to describe the person she had seen. The description fit my friend's father perfectly. The vet had never met him nor had she ever seen a picture of him. Other people have seen him too.

My son died April 2,2012 and my father died 5 days later they both were in a fire, it destroyed the house anyhow let me take you back some years. I never gave thought of ghost spirits demons or... and the bible really doesn't tell you a whole lot just if you are good and if you are bad ok?? well in 2008 my mother died my father and son was with her a matter of a fact my son called me at 12:30 am to tell me mom was taking her last breathes talk of up to the moment. I of course rushed to PA I live in NC and it is a 12 hour drive by the limit but I think we did it in 9 hours anyhow the night after the funeral I heard my mother call me I sleep with ear plugs in my husband snores but I heard my mothers voice call me.
Some talk of hearing their kin call for them while my mother was alive as was my son and father, one night a jumped in bed hearing my father call my name I let them call me twice to make sure I heard what I thought I did. it was pitch black out and dad had did this to me while awake my mother lost the ability to walk so ever 4 hour day and night some nights was peaceful but we changed mom so after this one time I went back to sleep I asked dad but he didn't know what I was talking of.
A little while after mom died (now I can't say what this was really my son was alive as was my father my was in the ground for a while) one night I saw some thing it looked like someone kneeling I could see the head and hair I stared and decide I was going to get out of bed and knock the person out but as I yanked the covers off it was not there no one went out no one was anywhere and I didn't know what it was.
After my son died I have had touching I had this before my son died it started out like someone jumping on the bed it happened once at my folks house but mom my son and my father was alive at that time, anyhow I was getting touch sometimes it was poking or something running their hand up my leg to the thigh or pulling my shoulder twice that happened but just strange things then when we got this new house my Husband HAD TO HAVE A MAN CAVE in it he put a frog the crocked and one of them singing fishes I hate the fish one day I am here on the computer and the frog goes off only me here no one else then the fish starts starts to sing. I told my husband David is messing with us. One day the grand kids were over they had just come in the door Back door that is was open enough my husband says loudly hoping the kids hear him SOME ONE COULD CLOSE THE DOOR and it closed ok so maybe there was wind but then a few night ago I saw a husky it could of been a wolf my son like both I didn't have my glasses on I blinked 3 times and it was gone it was lit up but not to light up the whole room.

OH and not long after I was home after putting my son and father in the ground one night in the old trailer I got up to go pee I do this 3 4 5 times a night where the grand kids bedroom door was was a big orange light?? I could tell the difference between the black of night and the orange I was half asleep I took one step into the bathroom and thought what is that?? I stepped back out and it was gone I had took about 3 or 4 steps looking at it. My son Loved fire the element and it was the color of fire I think it was my son you know you hear of a white light but it was orange that is why I think it was my son.

I know what I saw and maybe it is grief maybe it isn't but I know it had to be my son. I don't get touch much any more and I think David my son has moved on but he comes back to see me I ask him to come to see me at times and I think he does.

I have had 3 dreams of him and all are as if he was real and alive like I was talking to him. I can't prove anything or show you anything



this is a picture taken of where the house they lived in was though you can't see it if you go to Facebook you can see a bigger picture of this and there are imagines in the white stuff, Call it what you may some don't see anything so see what I see I can't say if it is dad David mom or I don't know but it is interesting. at the tree there to me looks like a small dog we didn't have a small dog. Take it as you will. I believe of course since I have had these encounters but I think people like me and are like me that want to see will and maybe people like me draw them (the spirits to them because they know you are reseptive to them.




my son the last picture I know of of him



The front of his headstone



The back of it


Live is so hard withoout my son I reckon this is why he comes once in a while or I dream of him so we are not so far apart.

my name on Facebook is Rhayden Phoenix you can see the damage from the fire to the house also there

 

[Suzierd]

Very sorry for your losses Henny, I looked at your FB and saw the damage to the house very tragic. May I ask what started the fire? Your pic with the lights reminds me of this one one a site someone posted in another forum.

Thought I would share it with you.

It started in the TV front room they said it was over loaded extension Cords But I don't know the house was very old and was not when there were codes as to how to build them so they were build very cheaply I think it was in the wall myself. The fire had burnt for a half hour before anyone knew and then the popping sounds of the glass breaking got the neighbors alerted. They called for my son but no answer I talked to the mortician a few days ago thinking about his card I had in front of me it said he wanted to be a donor but being he was in a fire and had smoke a soot in his lung well it is to late but for me I was curious. The mortician said he was able to donate his organs because the fire ( chemicals' I think in the house when it burns (Any house that is) damages the organs I figure I might let people know here in case they are walking the same wicked road I now walk it is unforgiving. The house I grew up in is now only in my memory and a few pictures I have it had to be hauled off it was up to code and couldn't be made up to code and no matter had to be pushed down and took off. I however am glad I have contact with a lady that lives around there she said she would be happy to take pictures for me when ever I want. I have had much in my life go on and bad things just have not stopped yet. I just found out my Aunt is dying of Cancer of the kidneys and my husband's brother's son his wife had a child at 26 weeks lived 4 months but took of life support Nov 9th and in the ground on the 10th so I am not having a good year but it is not as bad as April, 2,2012 when two cops were knocking on my door to have me call the cops where my son and father lived n Levittown, PA, I don't know how I got through it I don't think any one can tell you this either some how you just do.



this is the most recent picture of his headstone it had snowed.

Take care thanks they are fine they are together my son and father they were in life and so shall they be in death.

I absolutely do. And I'm fairly superstitious to boot. As are my in-laws and maternal side of the family, most on both sides also believe in ghosts.

When I was little, I got sick and was hospitalized and an older gentlemen came in and talked with me, told me I'd be ok and all that. I told my mother and she thought some random person had come in, and later I described him and his attire and my mother and grandmother seemed a bit surprised and pulled a photo from an album: My great-great grandfather that was very close to my mother, but passed before I was born.. The photo was from the day he passed and he was wearing what he wore in the hospital.

There is something in one of my family member's house. I was there alone once, sleeping and the blanket began to slip off the bed. I woke up as it was slipping and figured it was just the weight of the blanket that was already off the bed causing it to slide, so I pulled it back up onto the bed. After doing so and settling back in, the entire blanket was SNATCHED off the bed, which made me sit up in bed to see it be pulled UNDER the bed. I freaked and took a leap for the door and ran out of the room. I avoid any lifted beds when at all possible now... I'll still sleep in them if I don't have another option, but I won't let any part of my body hang over the bed. I also regularly feel uncomfortable or like I'm being watched when I visit there, my Husband experienced this as well. And after confiding it to my mother, discovered it was something thats been discussed with a few other family members...

When I lived in England, we lived in a very old house. Along with its century long history, the prior family that lived there past in their sleep due to the chimney flues becoming shut off, though they were fine when checked after the fact, as a result the fireplaces were sealed before we moved in. But a few things happened there. There was a wind/water mill next to it that was locked up. On more than one occassion I swear I'd seen someone in the window of the mill. One evening, in walking past my bedroom window that looked out to it, I saw something hanging from the foot ledge of the mill, like a person. But in doing a double take it was gone. I also had heard voices around the mill.

The mill house itself, where we lived and where the deaths occured, had its own experiences. One day, while doing homework home alone with the dog, who had prior been laying nearby, I heard someone say "Let the dog out" and without thinking replied "In a moment", shortly after I heard "LET THE DOG OUT NOW!" and I got up and went to the door and called the dog only to realize... I was home alone... And somehow the dog was already sitting outside and whining, he didn't want to come back in. So I ended up sitting outside in the cold with him and waiting for everyone to get home.

Another time, I was sleeping in my room on my futon. And something got onto the futon right in front of my face, I could feel the futon mattress press in from the weight. Something told me to keep my eyes shut, but at the time I was thinking it was just the dog, but still couldn't bring myself to open my eyes. So I called for the dog and heard him come bounding up the stairs and whatever it was on the mattress moved... I jumped up and ran out of the room and flipped the switch, there was nothing in the room. This was a small room with nowhere to hide, even for a rat or something. I also found a weird head shaped figure with a face shaped out on it buried in the dirt near the stone wall fence while we were helping rebuild it...

These are the more prominent experiences I've had.

So I do believe in ghosts, among other things,

That is a very nice headstone. Really hope things turn around for your Aunt and she finds healing. Very tragic about the child. Life can really give us some hard knocks. I've lost loved ones too and the pain never goes away I've just learned to cope and live with it. It really helps me knowing their in a better place and we will all be together again some day. Hang in there.
