My son was right! Scary!!

[Ehigh57]

The earliest dream I remember occured when I was 5 years old which would have made my oldest sister 13. In the dream my father and I were walking down a hallway that was very long, very bright and very clean. I remember how shiny the floors were. Probably because at 5 yrs. old I was close to them. lol . My dad was holding my hand and he kept squeezing it, not hard but I was aware that he was nervous. We walked into a room that had a huge wall of drawers and some unknown person pulled one of them open. My sister was laying in the drawer but she was a grown-up. My father started to cry very hard. I was confused and asked him why is Mary in the drawer daddy? The residual feelings from a 5 yr old perspective upon waking from the dream were that my dad had been crying and that Mary was a lady?

Every morning my dad would ask me "What did you dream about last night"? I told him about the dream and I will never forget the look on his face. I remember thinking what I said made him look... I don't know....scared. I couldn't understand why Mary being in a drawer would make his face look the way it did. I felt like I had done something wrong but for the life of me I couldn't imagine what it was. I know now that he had to have been wondering how I could possibly know about a morgue. I didn't know till I was about 10 that such things existed. I think I saw it on the TV, maybe on a Twilight Zone episode. That dream came back to me as if I had just woken from it! That dream made a WHOLE lot more sense to me then!

My father passed away when I was 28. My sister Mary passed when she was 48. I didn't have go to a morgue to identify her, she died of a cerebral hemmorhage in her home.
I did however learn over the years how to decipher what my dreams are telling me. They can speak volumes if you listen with an open mind and broad ears.

Last time I rode my horse before we got rid of her we rode out to the back yard by the barn, my sister was on the back, when we turned to round the corner of the house toward the barn, something caught her eye over by the old smokehouse and she tensed up and turned her head to where i could see into her eye...it was BLOOD RED, and then she bolted toward the street with us on her back. We all hit the clothesline full speed, horse first...like to have never got that nag settled down. I never rode her again. Nobody did. The guy who bought her could never get her to saddle up after that. He thought he could 'break' her, but she was well broke before.

Our cows, we had 3 Holstein calves, bottle babies, and they seemed fine until they were about 6 months old, then they started acting weird, like they were nervous all the time. Got up one morning to go out to give them hay, and one was hanging by it's butt up at the top of the barn door where it had tried to jump through the door, and somehow managed to wedge itself at the top of the door rear hanging inside the barn while the rest of it's body was outside, both back legs were broken. We had to shoot it and had it processed. The other two within 2 weeks apart did the EXACT same thing...never did find any tracks of another animal that may have scared them, or anything. Funny thing is, they could have easily ran out the back of the barn facing the house just a wooden gate, and by then they could have smashed it to pieces, instead of the front facing the pasture, but it was like they were running away from something that was close to the house and yard. We never got any more animals after that. The bull went crazy too in the same pasture and barn, but we ate him before anything could happen.

The dog we had was fine the whole time we lived there though.

You know, that sounds like they may have eaten something toxic or hallucinogenic, some sort of plant or insect. That would explain why it didn't affect the dog, he wouldn't be eating the same things as cows and horses. The timing makes it seem that way too, they would all have been exposed around the same time, if that was when the plant grew, or insect was around. There are a lot of plants and fungi that could cause an animal to act like that.

Well, that is very interesting to know! I had no idea...maybe some moldy hay or something. THANKS for the info.. I had always wondered about it.

Uh...before you decide to do this, just know that getting into the EVP thing can bring about more activity. Having read a great deal about paranormal activity, the more recognition spiritual energy is given the more it may increase. If you do 'hear' something it could cause fear and increased fear feeds that kind of energy. Also sentient energy would would consider this a welcome, an acknowlegement from you.

When people start to talk about using audio recorders and ouija boards, that always sends up a warning flag for me. Having grown up in a home that had some equally strange things have, I speak from personal experience. My .02 cents.

I've used the audio recorder in the past, and have caught some very interesting sounds, however no nasties followed me back home, thank goodness. But I will NEVER use a ouija board! Someone pulled one out years ago at a sorority party and dragged me over to use it, and someone asked a question, I don't remember what the question was, but the piece moved on it's own, all our fingers had lifted off it because we felt a weird energy that made us all nervous, but it moved after we had lifted our fingers off it and it scared us all. I've never touched a Ouija board since, and I never will again. I believe they are doorways to letting bad spirits in, and I don't want to play around with that.

Having done the ghost-hunting thing a few times, EVP for investigations is okay but again it can bring about more activity and when you are looking for ghosts/spirits that's great but if you don't want them in your home, giving them a way to communicate may not be the best option. As for spirits/ghosts following you home, it seems it would have to been an 'invitation' of sorts, leaving youself open to it and/or actually inviting the nasties to come with you, that they're welcome even to come with you. Made that mistake before with the Ouija board and had the crap scared out of me for a few years because of it.

I know alot of people are of the mind-set that it was "their" house before it was yours and you should at least try to find out what they want, but I don't necessarily feel that way. You wouldn't let a stranger come into you home and make demands, its YOUR house. If you don't want whatever is there to stay then you have to let it know its not welcome, PERIOD.

I wouldnt touch a Ouija board either. I believe I have told this story a couple of times, but when I was young we had a Ouija board at our house. I got scared of what was going on after we used it. (we had never heard anything about them, to us it was a "game" but not for long.

) Anyway, I tossed it into the burning barrel when it was burning mind you. The next morning the thing was back in the upstairs hallway shelf.(No marks on it what so ever either.)

Absolutely NO good can come from using a Ouiji board!!

Eek! You guys are creaping me out a lil!!

I've had some run ins with "friendlies" as my neighbor used to call them - her house was crazy haunted, but they were very nice. The people who lived there (the live ones) got really bad feelings from one of the rooms there, so they just left it for the friendlies. It was one of those - we dont bother you, so please dont bother us. I'm kind of curoious why the new neighbors havent noticed them?
Anyway, one time when I was in that house, I was standing in the door way of the bathroom, talking to my stepsister while she folded laundry (this was in the apartment over there)...The bathroom scared the crap out of me, no idea why...I would always run home if I had to go!! Anyway...I was standing there, no one was near me, and something hit my arm, hard!! I just kind of looked at my arm, tryed re-creating the situation (though I was standing still when it happend, leaning up against the wall)...my step sister noticed I got quiet, so she looked over to see me freaking out, and concentrating on my arm...I dont think their friendlies liked me much

I was always uneasy going into their house.

The next thing that happend, was right after my horse got killed (someone opened his gate, not us, pulled him out of his field, he ran into the road and got hit...you have to realize, this horse wouldn't leave his morning hay for ANYTHING, and the gate was about 50' from where his hay was...I actually had a dream about it before it happend, but it wasnt him, it was his pasture mate who got killed...I didnt understand it. If I had woken up 5 minutes earlier, I could have saved him. I woke up freaking out about the dream, then I heard the crash.)...We were having a campfire next door, just relaxing and talking...Next thing I know, I hear a soft nicker, one of the stall doors in my barn open, and hooves clopping down the concrete isle! I got up and ran so fast...and I cant run that well! I had a weapon in hand, getting ready to beat the tar out of the *instert bad word here* person who was harassing us...I got over there, turned on the lights, and walked in on a barn full of sleeping horses, who were very upset that I awoke them. All but one were laying down...Then I stood there for a sec (I try to process info before jumping to conclusions) and I realized, "wait a sec, we have matted floors in the isle! That is impossible to have heard shoes walking on concrete!!". That barn always scared me...I had an unsettling feeling about it...3 years later, it burnt to the ground, killing 6 of my horses

And agreed about the ouiji boards! My friend, way back when, tried getting me to try one, but I had such a bad feeling about it, I said no!

Now that is just one more reason why I will not touch a Ouija board! You're giving me heebie-jeebies now! That sound like something straight out of a horror movie. Perhaps that movie Witchboard? That movie was little freaky with the Ouija board. Every time they tried to get rid of it, it reappeared. Those things just scare me!

I'm sorry you had to lose your horses is in such awful ways. That's so sad. I think that the reason your new neighbors don't sense the spirits in that house is because they may not be sensitive to them. Some people are more sensitive than others. I am super sensitive, my kids had some sensitivity, but my mother has none whatsoever. Okay, well, maybe she has a teeny tiny bit, LOL. We have a ghost that runs around here, it's a woman in a white dress circa 1920s. She's barefoot, and she's outside, never inside. People have seen her all over our town and the first encounter I had with her, I thought she was a real person running across the road and I slammed on my brakes as I was driving to avoid hitting her but then my car went through her! My younger daughter was in the car with me and saw her plain as day just like I did. I mentioned it to a neighbor later on and he told me she was a common sight around our town. And she's always running, never walking. From time to time I see her in my yard. She will run from tree to tree and kind of hide behind them. Once my mother was doing the dishes and saw movement out of the corner of her eye out the kitchen window and realized it was the ghost. She just about dropped all the dishes she was washing, it scared her so bad. Now we are immune. She doesn't even startle us anymore. We see her a lot. There's another ghost in our town, who is supposed to be the ghost of a mobster. His name is supposed to be Magnum Dan? Anyway, he likes to pop out of nowhere and knock kids off their bikes as they ride past the house he used to live in. Last summer he knocked my younger daughter off her bike and she scraped her knee. She already knew about him and wasn't scared, but she sure was mad. She said she saw a glimpse of movement to her right and then felt hands on her pushing her. The town I live in use to be a lot bigger and busier and it served as a stop along the railroad from Chicago to Indianapolis in the early 1900s. Apparently there was a lot of mob activity in this town and there is talk of underground tunnels and bootlegliquor and money that were transported in these tunnels. From what I've heard people say it was a common sight to drive down Route 41 and see the victims that had been shot by various mobsters laying in the ditches on the side of the road. Al Capone himself was supposed to have been active here in this area. I also hear told that Magnum Dan was supposed to been a hitman, though I'm not sure if it was for Capone or somebody else. There is a shed that still stands on the property that Magnum Dan was supposed of executed many a man in. I don't know how much his truth and how much is urban legend because I've only lived here for two years, but I know what I've seen, and I know what I feel, and there are definitely a lot of spirits in this area. I know that in the house that we live in now, animals die. I have only lived here two years and I have lost three dogs, about six cats, a gerbil, fish, a ferret, and quite a few chickens. That's a lot to lose in only two years, and it's a big reason why I want to leave this house. I don't sense that spirits here, but that doesn't mean they're not here. Besides, I tend to draw them to me, and I don't know if I have drawn bad ones are not. I sure hope I haven't!
