You're
in the arms of an Angel
Submitted by: Hayley - Sydney, Australia (Added 13/05/2004)
|
| My
Gran had relocated up to the Central Coast from Sydney in
April 2000. Gran had an obsessive habit of laundry & her sheets,
towels & washing always were like nothing I could ever achieve
& had a comforting smell to them. When Gran moved, she needed
to cull much of her belongings & one afternoon after she moved,
I found myself changing my bedsheets & using one of my grans
she had given to me before the big move. The smell, softness
& freshness immediately grabbed me & I felt the need to call
Gran & tell her that I was thinking of her & that I just loved
the sheets she had given me. I didn't get around to it.
My husband was in Asia on business & at the time my eldest
son was 3 & my youngest was a newborn. That night, I remember
being just so tired however, a little anxious at being in
the house by myself with my kids. My 3 year old insisted on
sleeping along beside me with my baby in the basinette beside
the bed.
I managed to drift of to sleep with my oldest son in my arms
only to awake with the feeling that I absolutely was not alone.
I can not describe what I felt & saw only to outline that
something "glassy" seemed to hover above my bed. Almost like
a large transparent orb I guess. I could feel it's presence
more than anything & looked at the bedside clock so I could
recall in the morning my strong feelings of what was going
on & when it had occurred. 12.47am on a Tuesday morning. The
glassy orb seemed to move over above the baby & then leave
the room. Its presence was uncanny.
Next day, embarrassed I recalled to a friend my experience
& we had a giggle. Quietly though, the experience frightened
me & by Wednesday night, I decided to take my kids to my parents
to spend the night. I hadn't told them what I saw & felt until
I was discussing matter with my father around 9.45am on the
Thursday morning. Within 15 mins we rec'd the call that Granny
had passed away & had been found in her new home on the Coast.
After getting over the shock of her death usual Autopsies
were arranged & time of death was estimated at the Monday
evening, Tuesday morning around the time I would have experienced
my "presence".. I begged my mother not to tell anyone about
this experience however, she did share it with her "very quiet
& reserved brother". Mum's brother left the wake & called
us on the way home to confirm that he too had experienced
a strange presence whilst sleeping around the same time as
I did. I only wish I had contacted Granny when I was changing
my bed sheets, She was a chronic diabetic & I miss her dearly.
Perhaps I could have saved her life. |
Around 3 months later, I had an amazing dream in the early
hrs of the morning. I saw my Gran. Her hair had grown as much
as it would have in the 3 months since she had passed away
& peace on her face & whites of her eyes was like nothing
on earth that I could possibly fathom. Perfection & complete
peace. I told her that I couldn't believe she was here & she
thought it was quite funny. She didn't need to tell me however,
I felt she communicated that we worry about such ridiculous
things here & waste our time on bitterness in lieu of love.
Certainly not matters I would have considered myself in such
circumstances - I often believed I had that "stuff" together
however, this was a feeling which was too pure for what I
knew. Such a dream had occurred after a particularly stressful
day (one of my worst) & amazingly later that day I was flicking
from one radio station to another whilst driving. I managed
to flick an incorrect button to find a melodic song I had
never heard before. This was a piece by Sarah McLaughlan 'Angels"
& immediate words I heard was "your in the arms of an angel.
You will find some comfort here". Needless to say, the car
stopped & my world stopped as for me, the experience was just
so real for such a skeptic!!!
I am positive that Granny visits me from time to time. I find
myself alone & suddenly gain a whiff of Grany's washing. Other
times, i feel as though I see pink or white small lights in
the corner of my eyes. I either need an optometrist or a Psychologist
however, this is my story!

Little
Girl Ghost

you
may not think this scary is scary but for a while now i've
been sighting a little girl. She turns lights on & off,
turns things up & down & often hear footsteps, weird noises
& crying. For some reason i feel a cold breeze, a presence
feeling & back pain. But as I'm only 14 no one believes
me, except my mum who has had experiences all her life.
She even got to see a ghost that looked like an alien floating
coming towards her.

Bordello
Spirit
Submitted by: Smitty - Waterville ME, USA(Added 13/05/2004)
|
This
didn't happen in Australia, but rather in the States.
I was 9 months old (this has been told to me, many times,
by my father -- and i was there, technically).
The history starts back in the late 1800's, maybe early 1900's,
i believe. A bordello was being run, completely legal, during
this time, with some shady side operations. It seems that
the sale of drugs was done there, and one of the prostitutes
didn't appreciate it. She was going to tell the authorities,
but instead was drugged and placed in room #1 (significant
later) and the house was set ablaze.
A few years later a small motel, The 5 Seasons campground,
was placed there -- with a lovely view of the water. It was
always said this woman haunted the area, and made a point
to be seen, if doubt was in the air. Examples: One woman,
who had graciously discarded spirits as "fake", had been awoken
to hands around her throat, only to be lifted once she was
awake.
Other times, you can hear footsteps down the 35 stairs in
the middle of the motel --- except there are only 20 stairs
to the right of the desk now... not 35.
My parents and some friends had driven down to the water to
swim, with me being left to sleep in the room.
My father saw her first, a beautiful woman with her dress
flowing in the wind, directly behind the car. There had been
no wind at that time. A friend of my father's had been sitting
in the car, and heard him yell to look, so he turned around,
while stepping on the brake. The lights came on and the woman
was gone. They came back to the motel, to check on me -- and
i was fine. |
My mother, to this day (22 years later) will NOT discuss
it -- refusing to answer ANY questions at all. There was
also a man, who, every year would rent the same room, #1.
He was there when my parents were there, but did nothing
but stay in his room for the whole weekend, and was gone
before they left.
A few years later, i was in 6th grade and my father called
the # of 5 Season to make reservations for my cousin, who
wanted to witness this himself. The caretaker said that
there was 6 months left on her lease, and after that she
didn't want to see the place again. She would not rent any
rooms, saying only, "This is not a place you want to be..."
Since then, I have no information on the site.

Was
it the shadow up and down the hallway?
Submitted by: Tyra - Tasmania, Australia (Added 13/05/2004)

i
was only young... about 12 years old when i got to school
one day to find out that my bestfriend's mum had died from
a huge asthma attack...
my friend was a very open and honest person but she wont tell
u everything on her mind... it hit her so hard being so young
she never spoke of it....
one day she came to school saying to me....'there's someone
in my house i hear the footsteps up and down the hallway nearly
everynight..'..... i pretty much laughed and said it could've
been her stepdad staggering home from the pub... (he was a
big drinker.. every night).... but she was certain this was
happening before her mum died.... she said the weird thing
is that where her wind chimes r in the hallway she'll hear
the wind chimes 1st like some1 brushing up against them then
the footsteps....
so about 1 year later my friend and i r sitting in her lounge
room... this is a coincidence because at this time we were
speaking of ghosts.... my friend had her music blearing from
her bedroom up hallway.... when i was half through telling
her.... the music stopped... i didn't think anything but my
friend just froze.... "the music stopped" she said "it's the
end of the tape"
i replied..."no it's only half way through"
it was like she knew something was about to happen... we turned
and walked for the hallway.. we were about to go to my friends
room when we heard crying..... very close.... the crying stood
hairs on my back up... i just couldn't move.. my head felt
as though it was shrinking... my friends face went paler than
i've ever seen... after a moment we ran outside and sat and
waited for her stepdad to return from work..... when he did
he checked the room to our surprise the stereo's plug was
pulled out....... |
while we were waiting outside my friend burst into tears...
she told me a few things like... when her mum died she was
the only one there with her...(stepdad was at pub).... she
said she heard crying and ran for her mum's room to see her
mum struggling for her breath.... she couldn't breathe at
all so my friend rang ambulance straight away..... but it
was too late, she died before they got there.......
My friend swears that cry was the same cry her mum let out
before she died......
this whole thing scares me soooo much because if this was
her mum why was she trying to scare her own daughter? she
was very nice lady.... i tend to think if it was anything
it was that shadow up and down the hallway...
could some1 solve this for me????

The
Spirits in the House
Submitted by: Larka - Sydney, Australia (Added 13/05/2004)
|
This
happened in about mid march when i was staying at my boyfriends
house. My boyfriend goes to work and i would stay at home
and clean up his room and stuff like that.
Both his mother and twin brothers have told me about this
spirit that occupies their house.
So here i was cleaning the room when i was making the bed
2 of his ornaments fell off the tv cabinet, and i was shocked
because when i first stayed there i could feel a supernatural
presence in the house. So i picked up the ornaments, still
very shaken but i put them back on the cabinet where the couldn't
possibly be knocked off at all and i went on cleaning.
When my boyfriend came home later that day he had noticed
that i had sprinkled salt over every entrance and i told him
that i could feel something weird but i didn't tell him exactly
what happened.
That night while we were in bed i heard footsteps down the
hall and i started to freak out he told me not to worry about
the spirits in this house they only bother you sometimes and
that they are not evil.
so that's my weird experience. |

Field
spirits?
Submitted by: Sarah - Oregon USA (Added 13/05/2004)
|
well
it was when i was younger, about 12 and i was walking through
a field.
well my sister wanted to go out farther then where we were
and i didn't really know about it because my friend Kim was
freaking out for some reason.
we walked out into the field more and i was starting to breath
heavier, i don't really know if it was because the air was
getting more humid or not but we were surrounded by tall grass.
i guess nothing was happening to her because she was acting
fine. I kept telling her but she didn't really pay any attention.
well we were getting out pretty far and then i got the sense
that something was following me( i still get chills). i kept
turning around just to make sure there wasn't anything because
i am a big believer in ghosts and spirits.
After a while of walking around i decided i didn't really
like were we were at so i told her to start walking back with
me. then out of no where all these black shadows started to
appear and it was freaking me out because i didn't get a very
good feeling from whatever it was. i told my sister and she
didn't really pay attention, she thought i was lying.
as we were walking back to get Kim i started to smell something
rancid, like old meat and other disgusting smells so i decided
to venture on into that area. as i walked closer i could smell
it even stronger so i looked around. i couldn't find any animal
corpses of anything so i gave up. as we were walking back
my sister decided that she wanted to lay down so she did so.
all i could hear was a scream after that and she got up and
booked it. it scared me really bad so i ran too. |
As soon as she stopped running i asked what the hell was going
on and she said that as soon as she lay down and opened her
eyes she saw a black figure floating over her and she said
that it had no face.
at that point i was a little freaked out because as i was
saying i kept seeing this black figure areaing everywhere
in the grass. we told Kim everything of course and she said
that she didn't believe us and i found no point in trying
to make her so we left.
The freaky thing was later that night i was staying at her
houses and i think it followed me because i woke up around
4:44 in the morning (i'll never forget the time) and i was
going to move over on my side but then i remember i couldn't
move so i was freaking out bad. I remember trying to call
her name out to tell her what was going on but i couldn't
speak so now i was extremely terrified and i didn't know what
to do. so i closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and told
it to go away and before i knew it i was waking up at some
time like 10:00 and wondering what the hell happened. Now
this hasn't been the first time that i remember this happening
and i'm kinda scared because i really would not want it to
happen again so if anyone knows anything about this weird
and scary experience as i call it then write something.

I
will Miss you Always...
Submitted by: Catherine - Western Australia (Added 13/05/2004)
|
Ever
since I can remember I have either sensed things or just known
things before they happen.
I remember many times as a young child I would run to my mother
to tell her that my Grandmother was coming to visit. Mum would
quickly put the kettle on as she had long ago grown to trust
what I said. Sure enough not a minute or so later a bus would
stop outside our home and Grandmother would get off.
My father was never a very well man, but when you are very
young you don't see that. I always saw my father as a strong
loving man who was the centre of my universe. For a few years
before his passing he couldn't work.
Every morning before leaving for school I would go into his
room, give him a kiss and hug goodbye and tell him I loved
him. On a morning in July 1973 (I was eleven) , I got myself
ready for school as usual. When it came time to leave I went
to my father's room, as I had done so many times before, only
this time I didn't go in. I felt that if I were to go in at
that time I would be intruding on something. So on this morning
I stood at the doorway and softly said my goodbyes. I told
him how much I loved him and that I would miss him always.
My mind kept telling me all day that he would not be there
when I got home, but I stubbornly kept pushing those thoughts
aside, even though I knew now to trust myself.
Later in the day I was in the School Principals office with
some other students reading to him (which seemed to be the
thing to do in 1973). (Also on this particular day I had a
dentist appointment for which my Mother was to pick me up
early from school.)
As my turn to read came around, the Principal's telephone
rang. As soon as it started ringing and before he had the
chance to even answer it, I knew who it was and the reason
for the call. It was my mother calling to tell the Principal
that my father had passed and that she would not be picking
me up from school. She wanted my lunch to be provided as she
would not be able to get any to me. I knew all this before
he had even said "Hello".
Once he had finished chatting, he turned to me and said that
my mother would not be able to take me to the dentist today
and that he would provide my lunch from the canteen. I didn't
say a word, as I knew what had really happened.
At the end of the day, as I walked home, I kept trying to
convince myself that I was wrong this time. I didn't want
my father to be gone. I hated the fact (and still do to this
day) that I am able to sense what is to happen. |
When I arrived home my Aunt was there and so were my siblings.
Someone was in the shower, and I hoped with all my heart that
it was my father, but I knew deep down it wasn't. My mother
sat me down on the end of my fathers empty bed. I knew already
what she was about to say and yet I didn't open my mouth this
time as I wasn't eager to share what I knew for once in my
then short life.
She gently took my hand and proceeded to tell me that my father
had passed away shortly after I had left for school. She told
me that he had been very sick for a long time and that now
he was at peace and no longer in pain.
For a long time after his death I felt it was my fault. That
in knowing what was going to happen I could have prevented
it if I had just spoken out instead of keeping quiet. After
all I had always run to my mother to tell her what was about
to happen. Why didn't I this time?
For many years after his death I pushed aside and ignored
any flashes of events that entered my mind. But in ignoring
them, I found my life headed in a rather unhappy direction.
It took me nearly thirty years to finally accept the fact
that it wasn't my fault and there was nothing I could have
done to prevent it.

Strong
Presence ...
Submitted by: V - Australia (Added 13/05/2004)
|
I
have been to 13 funerals and I'm only 22.
I moved to Melbourne and into my unit about 3 years ago.
Since then the stereo has turned itself up to vol.28 numerous
times and each time this happens my partner and I both get
chills and our hair stands on end.
Lately it's started going up to 28 and down to 11. I took
the batteries out of the remote control and walked over to
the volume dial and turned it down but it went straight back
up. I didn't put much thought into it, but all of a sudden
about a month later I realised it was my mum's date of birth.
My grandmother ( mum's mum ) passed away about 11years ago
and I was quite close to her.
1 week ago I was in bed sound asleep, and I had been feeling
a strong 'presence' more often in the days leading up, when
I distinctly felt it pinch me.
Everyone thinks there must be a rational explanation. I am
a rational person and I've tried to think of how I could so
distinctly feel the pinch of 4 fingers and thumb on my skin.
( It wasn't like when someone's being mean and pinch you with
one finger and thumb ) When it pinched me I awoke immediately
and sat straight up.
I felt like it's energy had gone straight through me. I've
been petrified ever since of being alone at dark in the house....... |
