She
saw it on the Verandah
Submitted by: Jayleen - Gilgandra, NSW Australia (Added
28/12/03)
|
Hello
again....
I live on a 5 acre property 25km's out of the NSW town
Gilgandra. My house was the first house built in the
little town I come from (as I have said previously in
my experiance submission called "Grandfather?").
The "Grandfather" experience was only one of many I
have encountered in this house and on my property. There
simply wouldn't be enough room here to type everything
I have experienced. So I will tell a few here, and then
submit some more at a later time.
I live about half an hour away from a place called the
Pilliga Scrub. It is reknowned in my town for it's unexplained
sightings and many people won't go there after dark....
Even some truckies and tourists won't drive their cars
through there after dark!
Anyway, one night me, my brother Alex, his best friend
Michael were sitting around a campfire that we had started
on my property. It was about 2:00 in the morning, and
we were just sitting around talking about true scary
stories.... the typical thing to do when sitting around
a campfire.
Michael's family lived on the outskirts of the Pilliga
Scrub, you could pretty much say they lived in it.
They lived on a desolate property, their nextdoor neighbours
lived a few km's away on each side. He told us a story
about something that happened in that house that makes
my blood run cold everytime I recount it.
One night, his mother got out of bed because she couldn't
sleep. She walked into the loungeroom and switched on
the tv to help put her back to sleep. There was no other
light on in the house other than the light that was
being displayed from the television. And then out of
the corner of her eye to the left of her, Michael's
mother saw something move quickly across their front
verandah.
She got up and turned the loungeroom light on, and looked
out the windows that ran along the whole length of the
verandah. She didn't see anything, so leaving the light
on she sat back down on the couch and continued watching
tv. After a couple of minutes, she saw it again. This
time, she stayed where she sat and just moved her head.
When she looked at the steps that led from the front
gate to the verandah, she saw a blackened human head
peering at her. It was as if a burned man was sitting
on the bottom step staring at her. |
She couldn't see a body, and her logic kicked in and
she realised that if there was a body to it, she would
be able to see it because the steps weren't that big.
She got up and went back to bed, shaking and sweating
from what she had just seen.
Then the next day, she was telling her husband what
had happened. And when she told him that it wasn't possible
to only see a head if something was sitting on the step,
he went pale white. When she asked him what was wrong,
he told her that a couple of years before they moved
into that house, a man was driving his tractor out in
the Pilliga Scrub surrounding the house, and it overturned.
As the tractor rolled over, it cut the man in half and
then burst into flames. He was dead by the time anyone
realised what had happened.
So the only explaination for the burned, charcoal head
of a man Michael's mother saw the night was the man
that had been chopped in half and burned alive. And
the reason why she couldn't see his body, was because
there was only half of him sitting on the step.... He
was using his hands to run along their verandah that
night.... She was just unfortunate enough to actually
see it....
They moved not that long after she saw that....
Stay in tune for more of my experiences...

Psychic
Impression
Submitted by: Elise, Sydney - Australia (Added 21/09/03)

| This
isn't really a 'ghost story' as such, but it is interesting
all the same.
A friend of mine bought a house in virgin rainforest,
as it was placed in the middle of the wilderness they
had no power or hot water.
A little way away from their house was a type of shed,
a slab of concrete with three walls. Next to the shed
was a bath tub with a mirror facing it (all this is
in the open in the bush).
She took me down to see the place, and as soon as i
saw the bath i felt as if i was having an asthma attack,
i have not had asthma scince i was very small. I looked
at the bath and all i could see was blood and a fair
haired woman crying over it.
I told my friend i had to leave and we went back to
her house. I told her what had happened and she told
me that many of her friends had felt the same feeling
and one other had seen the same thing as me.
We researched it and found that a mother of a little
girl had suffered post natal depression had stabbed
her baby to stop it ! from crying then tryed to wash
off the blood in that bath tub. |

Grandad's
Visits
Submitted by: Kewpie, Sydney - Australia (Added 28/12/03)
|
This
isn't about me, but about a relative.
My grandad died when I was four. And my father was
with him when he passed. My aunty was also, but her
daughter, eight at the time, slept sound asleep in
another state.
At 3:15am my grandad passed and at the same time my
cousin turned in her sleep opened her eyes and saw
a man in a war pilots uniform standing beside her.
She was young and she says she did not feel scared
but merely said "go away" in a childish way.
She then proceeded to sleep.
We think that my cousin is the connection between
my grandad and us. two years ago she was woken in
her sleep (ironically she was dreaming that spirits
come back through a electromagnetic field) by the
smoke alarm (my grandad was a huge smoker and this
contributed to his death!). My aunty and cousins got
up and tried to turn it off but it wouldn't stop.
|
My cousin then said "mum, what day is it?" she sighed
and they all new that it was the anniversary of my grandfather's
death and exactly the right time.... 3:15am. It's more
or less comforting.
My mother also a few days later after her father in
law's death (still talking about same grandad) felt
someone sit on near her legs during the night, and then
got up and the bed bounced back into shape. she knew
it was him visiting her.
I haven't experienced anything myself. However when
ever someone close to me dies, I have had the same experience.
I am always woken around the same time as their death
by a tingly paralysed feeling in my legs....somewhat
like a cramp.
It's all rather comforting....

Get
out of the House!
Submitted by: Nosferatu, Sydney - Australia (Added 01/01/04)

I
didnt know what to classify this expreicnce as ... so
I thought ghosts would be the closest ...
A few years back, my girlfriends father died. This was
a sudden death & not expected. Her mother didnt take
it very well & she had been admited to mental heath
unit in hospital suffering from a breakdown... the day
of the funeral.
The next day, we bought her a puppy as a present to
help her relax / recoop when she came out ... & thats
when it happened.
It was a bout 11.50pm & we were sitting in her room
just talking .... the puppy was in the room asleep in
the corner ... then out of nowhere the puppy got up
ran across the room & jumped on my lap. The poor little
things heart was racing like it had just finished a
marathon. We looked at each other & i thought yeah its
it first night away from its mum its normal....
All of a sudden i just got this urge to get out of the
house & my gf got the same thing ... it was like something
was driving us out of the house ... I have had paranormal
experiences before but this was like pure evil as if
something terrible was going to happen if we stayed.
So I grabbed the puppy & my gf & me took off to my house....
i have never been in the house after 9pm again.. |

SC's
Weird Experiences
Submitted by: sc, Sydney - Australia (Added 01/01/04)
|
I
had a weird experience back in 1996.
I was walking with a friend along the road above the
Southern Cross Uni Library in Lismore NSW about 6pm
one night when a strange white circle flew past our
heads. We both saw it - and both stopped walking and
looked at each other in amazement.
We thought it may have been a car headlight but there
were no cars around. It was a strange light anyway,
like a pearl light globe and about the size of a dinner
plate. Still have no idea what it was but it was a weird
experience.
At the place I was staying at nearby a few of us had
strange experiences. Myself and two other guys I lived
with all heard what sounded like a woman gasping for
air on numerous occassions as if she was only a metre
away...yet noone was there. One of the other guys also
saw a ghostly man in his room at about 5am one morning.
I never saw any spirits in the house though.
The forest next to the unit also had a creepy feeling
to it. |

The
cat came back
Submitted by: Juanita, Sydney, Australia (Added 16/03/04)
|
About
5 years ago my great grandmother, who was 98 at the
time, had her cat die of old age. She was telling me
and my mother about how the night after her cat had
died, she felt her jump onto her bed and walk up to
her head like she always had. She said that she knew
her cat was saying goodbye and felt at peace.
Me and my mum put this down to her going senile, and
I forgot about it until my own cat died. My mum got
her 2 years before I was born and she lived to the age
of 20, so I grew up with her my whole life and she slept
on or in my bed every night.
A couple of nights after she died I was in bed reading
under a low light when I felt a slight bounce at the
foot of the bed. I looked, and right before my eyes
I watched paw prints indent themselves all the way up
my bed, along the side of my body. I was so scared once
they got close to my head that I slipped myself out
of bed cautiously and ran to mums room. She didnt believe
me and wouldnt come in, but when I went back to my room
the indentations were still visible.
Although I was scared at the time, I also felt strangely
comforted and at peace when this happened. |

The
Mercantile Store
Submitted by: JR, Kilkivan - Queensland Australia (Added
16/03/04)

I've
had many 'odd' encounters through my life but the most
recent happened about 4 yrs ago.
I was editor of a small rural newsletter at the time.
We did our work in an old building known as the Mercantile
Store. At that time, it was being used as a plant nursery
and our small office was tucked away at the back. The
building is situated on the main street with another
street running down the side of it. The entire section
of outdoor nursery on the main street side was fenced
in with 10 foot cyclone wire plus barbed wire at the
top.
Myself and another girl who also worked on the newsletter
frequently heard sounds in the building and experienced
colder spots.While old buildings frequently creak in
the heat and cold, often the sounds were very like footsteps.
One night I was there alone very late, working on the
publication layout at the computer. It was past 11pm.
I heard the sounds of definite footsteps on the bare
wooden boards, heading toward me and looked around.
Nothing was there and I had locked the front door. I
kept working and after a while noticed that the air
was distincly colder, then became aware of the sound
of muffled voices having a conversation.
At first I thought it was perhaps some people outside
who having left the hotel opposite were walking past
the building talking. I got up to check out of the large
glass doors at the front and also the windows overlooking
the side street. By this stage it was close to midnight
and the place seemed deserted. I knew nobody could be
in the outside nursery section thanks to the high fencing
but peered out there anyway.
The voices continued. It sounded like maybe a man and
a woman talking. I heard the voices rising and falling
but could not make out any distinct words, or pinpoint
the location no matter where I stood.
After about half an hour the voices stopped talking. |
Also, many times I used to smell a very strong perfume
in the place.I didn't think it remarkable given the
fact it had flowering plants in the nursery but I encountered
the same scent even after the nursery people had closed
down their shop. I took note of it one day; it seemed
to be a very heavy, old fashioned scent like tuberose
or gardenias. Jokingly, I said out loud "Love your perfume!"
and the scent intensified dramatically until it was
almost overbearing.
The newsletter ceased circulation in 2001 and the old
Mercantile lays empty but when I walk past, I often
wonder.... did I experience a true haunting there, or
did the old place simply hold psychic records of it's
past and the people who used to work in it or come to
buy their goods?

Ghostly
Paralysis
Submitted by: Liza - Australia (Added 16/03/04)
|
i
was at home from school sick one day, and i was asleep
in my water bed in my room.
i awoke to my mum and her friend talking outside my
room and saying goodbye to each other as my mums friend
was leaving from a short visit. i was lying on my left
side and suddenly a strange feeling came over my body.
it was like i was paralyzed. i felt a body kneel down
onto my bed (the water bed moved as he/she knelt) and
look over me at my face. although i could not move at
all, i definately felt this person staring at me really
closely.
i tried to call out to my mum but nothing would come
out of my mouth...i managed to cry a little 'help' two
or three times, but it wasnt loud enough for anyone
to hear it. when my mums friend left and my mum walked
back into the house, the body got up (and once again
i felt the bed move) and instantly i could move again!
i rolled over, looked around in shock and there was
nobody there..apparently something similar has happened
to my dad while he was living in adelaide.
he was living with two room mates, while his mother
and the rest of his family were living in sydney. he
was disturbed during his sleep and awoken by his bedroom
door slamming..he then heard his mothers voice saying
'come on. get out of bed..come and eat breakfast' while
his cupboards were opening and closing, as if she was
putting clothes away or something.
he couldnt move while all of this was happening, but
then he heard his bedroom door slam again and he was
fine after that. he ran out to his two room mates who
were playing cards in another room and asked them if
any of them had been in his room. neither of them had. |
i dont know excatly what this experience means, or if
it is even 'ghostly' but it sure scared the shit out
of me.
ive been even more scared since a friend of mine claims
to have seen a ghostly figure of an old man sitting
behind my chair in my lounge room, listening to the
conversation me and my girlfriends were having!

Graveyard
Portal?
Submitted by: Garrett, California USA (Added 16/03/04)
|
When
i was a kid we use to live across the street from a
grave yard.
It was 11pm, my mom was outside talking to the neighbor
and i was standing next to her talking to the neighbors
son. It was a clear night, no clouds, just a warm summer
evening, over the grave yard it was like someone took
a light pen, made a line across the sky above it then
the line expanded and a bright light shone down over
the grave yard, it didn't hurt our eyes to look directly
into it which was quite amazing because it was bright.
As we looked on my mother told my brother to run inside
and get the camera, but as my brother got to our front
door it closed back up and was gone.
A week later we went to my moms old roommates house
which is a block behind where we were living, and she
was talking to her and telling her about what had happend,
in the mean time my brother, his friend and me were
sitting in the back of our truck waiting for her.
My brother started telling his friend about the same
thing and when he was half through the story it happend
again, i was hanging over the tailgate looking at the
ground when it happend, i saw the street light up and
by the time i looked up it was just closing up again.
It was coming from the direction of the grave yard again,
this time it was around 9:30pm. It happend in a little
town called Marysville, CA.
To this day ive not seen it since, though we moved from
the area shortly after and ive yet to be back in that
particular area at night for many years.
Anyone have any similar sightings of this nature? |

Not
a plane
Submitted by: Garrett, California USA (Added 16/03/04)
|
When
i was in 7th grade i was standing at the bus stop to
go to school, it was 6:30am and still pretty dark.
My friend and i were talking when we both saw something
out of the corner of our eyes, looking up i could see
a light in the sky, at first i thought maybe it was
a plane or jet since it was too bright, close and moving
to be a star, when i had convinced myself that it was
a plane i was just about to turn back to my friend when
the light stopped and then went straight up into the
sky and was gone from sight in a matter of seconds.
It was too quick to be any plane ive ever heard of or
seen, this was back in 1987, and ive yet to see anything
else of this nature.
Though both my friend and i saw it, he totally denied
it and i was called UFO man for weeks after, the butt
of everyones jokes, but i know what i saw and to this
day still couldn't say what it was. |
