Family wishes ghostly noises would just go away

Yep, using the Wiccan just invited more of what they were trying to get rid of.

Thank you! They defeated the whole purpose.

Ok, here goes.

I was ten years old and sick as a dog with the flue. My family had gone to the school to watch a concert that my other two brothers were playing in, so I was home alone. This was 1978 and in rural Oklahoma. About 10 p.m. I was watching television laying on my couch, with all the lights in the house out. All of a sudden someone walked in front of the television set, and sat down in the chair next to me. I was startled and sat up. When I did, I saw that it was a young boy about my age. At that time I saw a movement in my peripheral vision. I looked to my left and a young girl of about six sat down on the couch. The young girl just stared at the television, but the boy was mouthing something that I couldn't hear. The even stranger thing was, the volume of the television was muted too. Like I had suddenly become deaf.

I never told anyone about that night for a long time until about two years later. I was awakened by my brother making noise in the bathroom across the hall from our bedroom. I looked up and saw "him" standing in the hall (not my brother, the boy from the last sighting). I couldn't really believe what I was seeing, so I told my brother that if he was done in the bathroom to shut off the light. The boy walked away, and to my utter amazement my brother leaned over into the doorway and told me to go back to sleep. I asked him if he saw the boy in the hall and he looked at me like I was crazy.

I remembered that a girl from my school lived in the house when she was a little girl. I went to her and asked her if she had ever seen anything weird in the house. What she told me scared my pants off. She told me that she used to ask her mother for snacks for her "friends". Her mother would laugh it off as a child's imagination. Well, according to her either her mother or father saw something in the house that scared them enough to move out immediately. She was told never to tell anyone about her "friends". I asked who they were. She said that the house used to be a horse riding stable before they moved in. Apparently two kids, a boy of ten and a girl of six, were riding a horse together. As often happens in Oklahoma, a flash thunderstorm blew in and a clap of thunder startled their horse. Now we live just up a hill from a creek that has the potential to flash flood in an instant in storms such as this, and that's exactly what happened. The kids were thrown from their horse into the creek. Both were eventually found upstream some days later.

Other strange things have happened in the house that I could mention, but I'll leave that for another post.

Hope you liked that one. It is a true story.

I believe ghosts are not actual spirits, but residual energy. Nightline had a real interesting program a couple years ago that showed science providing evidence that energy does remain after we die.

However, I do believe that poltergeists and apparitions etc. are demons.

I do not claim to know what EVP is....could be demons, could be that residual energy or the dead somehow reaching through this dimension.

So true. I bet if they researched a bit, they would find that there has been or is, some kind of occult activity there or nearby

[phoenix0468]

Yeah, that's kida how I felt.

There are just so many urban tales and things people have seen, almost everyone knows someone who's seen a ghost. Obviously everybody doesn't leave behind a ghost. It's a phenomenon that's connected to strong emotion me thinks, maybe some people when they die just need more time to let go and move on. Old theaters and battlefields are infamous for their hauntings, the White House is too as a matter of fact. I love ghost stories.

My next door neighbors claim to have ghosts in their house. It's quite old, like mine. They are serious people not prone to much goofiness. They claim that the ghosts in their house are quiet all night if I visit the house in the evening. It's gotten to the point where Pete will call me up at 11PM and ask me to come over for a few minutes because he needs sleep. Can't explain it, but the ghosts all take a couple of days off after I come over there. They are trying to sell the house Quite strange.

Very weird. Whatever ghosts are, you can't deny the fact that strange stuff like this does happen. I'm a little confused as to how people can leave behind energy that looks and acts like a person's spirit. Perhaps anyone can enlighten me?

Wow, just sitting here reading that I got a goosebump or two. Its interesting and fun (fun is not the right word, but drawn maybe?) to think about the possibilty of ghosts.

I'm still skeptical, but I'm not wholly convinced that it's hogwash either. There are 2 places within just a few miles of my house that have stories that seem to never die and I always pass those places and wonder. One's an old town hall and ones a bar that's so old it has a dirt basement.

My own experience of when I was about 12 wasn't as visual as yours, but it still made me wonder.

I went into my room and turned on a light to read, and the light bulb flashed and died. I glanced at the clock and it was 7:20. We got a call about an hour later that my great grandmother had passed away and my Mom said she died at 7:20. Our great grandmother and our family were really close. She didn't live with us but she was at our house as often as we could have her there. She surely couldn't have been loved any more than we loved her, so maybe thats what the connection was.

The 7:20 time just struck me as a coincidence, but after that it seemed like everytime a light bulb in the house would go out it would be within 5 minutes of 7:20. That lasted for at least three years, and during the week of the anniversary when she died there were light bulbs popping left and right at our house. When we moved to a new house it never happenned again. But I still look at the clock when a light bulb blows.

Did you see this line?

"Just before the Meyerses moved in, there was a party at the house," said the neighbor, who asked that her name not be used. "And they had invited a psychic. During the party, the psychic was at the [dining room] table and told [the guests] that someone had brought a spirit into the house."

No, thanks for posting. People don't want to believe it, but there is a lot of Satan worship going on in places you'd never expect. I feel sorry for children who are exposed to this stuff
