School Spirit

Help - Sydney (Added 25/02/02)

I'm not sure how to explain this but I will give it a try. For a long time now I've had experiences like knowing or predicting things that are going to happen, sometimes between 10-15mins and anywhere up to 3weeks before it happens, maybe its just coincidence or something I don't know but something continually keeps freaking me out...

I was at work one morning at a school in Sydney cleaning and I signed in as usual at 4am in the morning, then proceeded to walk up to (E block) the block that I was cleaning.

I had been cleaning for about 15 minutes and had just started on my second room when I felt like something almost like a breeze but also like something brushing across my right shoulder, I looked to see if it was one of my fellow workers and saw something that I can only describe as a see through figure that was wearing a draped sort of white see through gown with long blonde hair and a real frightening skeleton face, as I turned and looked at it and caught its eye it was like it rushed at me and then disappeared..

 

In that split second I must have changed about twenty shades of grey because I threw the vacuum off my back shitting my pants and ran out of the room.

I worked there for another 2 days but refused to clean that one room and I haven't worked there since.

As I read through my description to you it doesn't seem to make much sense but still even 5 months on this is still freaking me out...

Can anyone help me with my experience, has anyone else had a similar experience..

Mysterious Back Marks
Submitted by:
Douglas - North Carolina, USA (Added 20/02/02)

HI there again as I said in the previous posting I have had many experiences with the paranormal. It seems that there are often times messages that the dead need to send and if they can't speak they may sometimes write, unfortunately paper isn't always available, so they chose me.

It all started about 8 months ago. You see I am married, and quite proud of it, however, unfortunately if two people are left together for too long not matter how much they love one another they fight. Being temperamental people our fights sometimes get out of hand. After one of our largest and loudest fights my wife noticed some strange red marks on my back. They seemed to form letters but were completely illegible. I didn't ignore them of course but I also couldn't understand the reason for them. I did understand the fact that I didn't appreciate being a message board for the restless dead.

It took one full week for them to fade. After a while my wife and I began to get on each others nerves and another fight broke out, the next day the marks were back, we chose to photograph them this time but unfortunately haven't had them developed yet, none the less the letters were still illegible. However being fresh they were better describable. A description from a nurse where I worked at the time was that they looked like whip marks or bad scratches, and according to her should have been very painful. I however didn't feel a thing. Except frustrated.

Eventually a third fight broke out and it was the worst one yet. A couple of days later my wife calmly said "Their back" I rushed to the bathroom and saw in the mirror I LUV U etched between my shoulders in blood red scratches I was terrified I started thinking and eventually came up with the correlation between the fights and the marks.

We keep our arguments in check now and although the marks still appear according to my wife the never really spell anything but I cant verify this due to the fact they are long faded before she mentions them. I appreciate that because as I said before I don't exactly like being a message board for the dead.

Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences and if anyone wants to see any more please let me know this is very therapeutic for me.

Who turned off the light?
Submitted by:
Douglas - North Carolina, USA (Added 15/02/02)

I have had a number of experiences. One of my most recent being at my Grandmothers home.

A bit of history is required here. You see, two people that I know died in that house. One being my grand father, the other being my great grand mother. Basically the reason for my saying this is to say that it is not my belief that the spirits would be malignant more like playful. It is said that my grandfather had a very unique sense of humor. He enjoyed scaring people.

This being the case he has had particular fun with me because I am somewhat sensitive to the dead, a fact which more often than not frightens me. He knows this so enjoys a few pranks at my expense. This one was as I said his last "Big" prank.

As is all too often the case it seems like nothing so is easily dismissed by those not there. I was up late one night watching television and from where I was sitting had a clear view of the door to the kitchen and the hallway to the bed rooms. As I sat there I noticed that the room had become darker I looked up and saw that the light in the kitchen had been turned off. As I said previously I could see the hallway and no one was in it and did not have time to enter one of the bedrooms. I got off of the couch to see if someone was still in the kitchen it was empty. I checked the lights to see if a bulb had blown, it had not, the switch was simply turned off.

I was quickly becoming aware of what was happening but refused to admit it. The truth is I had not had a spirit physically manifest itself in years, and have never seen it actually affect the environment around it, I was scared. I immediately began to ask others in the house if they had been in the kitchen. I already knew the answer but I still hoped I was wrong I wasn't.

That night I moved out. I stay there only occasionally now and never alone.

Night Experiences
Submitted by:
Jadey - Tasmania, Australia (Added 26/01/02)


Well I have never believed in ghosts or anything along the lines of the paranormal. But ever since I was a little girl (I'm only 13 now) I have experienced some strange things.

The first thing that I experienced was at the age of seven. Every night I would be lyin in bed and not be able to sleep. I would keep hearing an old mans voice from my living room. But since no old people live at my place I would get up and walk down the hall in the dark and as soon as I reached the living room doorway the voice would stop and I would feel a cold breeze sweep my face. Then I would hear a coughing laugh sort of thing and then it would fall silent again.

I was never able to figure it out. I kept hearing this voice for years and by the age of eleven I was jack of it and asked it to stop. I have never heard that voice since.

Now just recently I was in bed again just about to doze off when I heard bells ringing and because we have a cat I thought it was her playing. The ringing continued so I sat and and came to realise that my cat was asleep at the end of my bed. So I went to get out of bed and the ringing stopped as soon as I put both feet on the floor. So I went got back in and went to sleep.

Then I woke up to the noise of someone opening my door. Its one of those sliding doors so I could hear it slide across the carpet. I stayed there dead still, but then I thought it could be my mother coming in so I slowly turned my head to face the door.

Nobody was there and the door was shut.
I didn't think much of it and tried to sleep. I kept getting the feeling someone was watching. Then it felt as though a hand had swept over my face. It was icy cold.

Then I heard another voice except I couldn't tell if it was male or female. It said to me "I'm ready." I whispered "Ready for what?" At that moment my cat started hissing at thin air and then ran straight to the door to be let out. I didn't get an answer from the voice that night - and now my cat wont go anywhere near my room.

A few months after that I was in bed but I don't know if I was dreaming or not and the voice came to me again this time telling me to come. Then I felt as if I were flying and I was about at my ceiling when I looked down to find my own body still in the same position lying in my bed. I don't remember getting back down or falling asleep. The last thing I remember was just staring into my own face in disbelief. And since that night I have never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary again.

Smell Of Burning Hair
Submitted by:
Mentally Disturbed (Added 24/01/02)


My friend and I rented out a little flat in Redfern.

It was an old building with old style ceilings and fire places with wooden carvings of angels and a figure of what we called the devil around the top.

As for the bedrooms they were always humid and smelt of ash and burning hair, all through the house on the floor boards were little brown stains and a large stain at the front of the fire place.

My friend was lying in bed one night after a hard day of cleaning and deodorizing of the rooms, when her room went cold, she heard a high pitch scream and a strong smell of the burning hair.

She ran from her room going towards my room at the other end of the flat, on her way she passed the fire place and saw a man standing over a child who was bleeding from her legs.

The man was holding a leather strap and looked to be taking another swing when he spotted my friend and threw the child into the fire place and and vanished.

Till this day I pay a lot of money to help my friend through her rehabilitation in the institute.

Funeral Home
Submitted by:
Mr. D - Sydney (Added 20/01/02)

I recently saw a friend who works in the funeral industry and I asked him if anything paranormal ever happened to him whilst he was on the job.

He told me the following:

One night, at 2am he was in the refrigeration area of the funeral home, alone. He had the feeling he was being watched and as he turned, he saw a young man without legs looking at him. My friend was very alarmed and could barely talk.

Soon he was joined by his co-worker who noticing his pale and frightened appearance asked what was wrong. He mentioned what he had seen. The co-worker said "didn't you know we have the train accident victim in there?", pointing to the fridge.

My friend said "no", and had a look in the fridge where the legless body of the train accident victim was lying in a bag, the exact young man my friend had just seen outside.

Furthermore, he stated that footsteps are often heard in unoccupied parts of the building that are secured and alarmed, but that is nothing compared to the terrifying experience he had that night.

Camera Trouble
Submitted by:
Christina - St. Andrews (Added 20/01/02)

Recently me and my husband went on the Maitland Gaol psychic tour.

We were in one of the cell blocks, I took a photo of one of the cells, then about 10 seconds later the flash went off on its own. This happened about three times, and only in this particular cell block.

During the tour I had a lot of trouble taking photos as well, as my camera's auto focus would not work.

We did not see any spirits and nothing came out on the pictures I took.

Haunted Schoolhouse
Submitted by:
Vanessa - NSW, Australia (Added 18/01/02)

I thought this story may be of interest, perhaps a site for you to investigate when time allows.

I grew up in Milton, a country town on the South Coast, 3 hrs south of Sydney. One night about 8 years ago I stayed over at my horseriding instructors place as we had a show the next morning. This house is the old schoolhouse, the original school when the town was first built, it has its own cemetery about 20 metres from the residence with some very old graves 1890 is a date I remember on one of them, there are a few children's graves and a few adult ones. I remember as a kid we were always terrified of going there!

Anyway, that night, we were up really late cleaning our horse gear in the old section of the building, we both looked up at the same time as the temperature dropped suddenly, for some reason we both looked at the doorway, I saw what I think was a little girl with long blonde hair about 6 years old, in a old fashioned nightgown for a brief time. Of course there was no one else in the house at the time. The owner at the time mentioned she often heard the doors opening and closing, that sort of thing.

I checked the cemetery the next day, I guess I may have seen the ghost of one of the children that had died there..? It is a creepy place at the best of times, there is also another property (this is all out of the main town, in the farming area) that is an old mansion about the same age as the school house which could be of interest also..

The school is located about halfway down Croobyar road, I don't know who owns it now.

I also wanted to mention, I work at Victoria Barracks in Paddington (Sydney) and I can back it up, it IS definitely a haunted site, especially the old jail (which is a museum now) and some of the older buildings..

Very creepy place to work sometimes!!

Alien Experiences
Submitted by:
Les - Melbourne (Added 08/01/02)

I have had strange experiences beginning around 1992. It started while I just had gone to bed and I heard something come into my room, I could not move, then I felt something placed on the side of my head which painfully electrocuted me through my body for about 30 seconds. When it stopped I blacked out. In the morning I found my bedside lamp bulb had blown. Since then I have had many similar experiences but I never black out.

Once I lived in Seymour (Victoria Australia) and was taken out of bed by something placed into a car and was driven to a warehouse, I think it was at Puckapunial, an army training base near Seymour. I kept drifting in and out of consciousness. Inside the warehouse I saw a group of 10-15 men standing in a circle looking at me every now an again. I blacked out and found myself standing at the front door of the house I lived at. I was then picked up, taken into my room and placed back in bed. All the time this happened I had no control of my body each time I was electrocuted when I was moved.

Once during the day at Seymour I felt there were many invisible beings in the house, I felt tired and went to my room for a nap and I said " If there are any aliens or beings in the house give me a sign so I know I am not crazy". As I laid down something grabbed my legs lifted them into the air and pivoted me around while being paralyzed and electrocuted.

I have had two 'possible' experiences with greys, one was driving down a road at night with a friend, where we saw a very tall at least 8 feet and very thin humanoid figure with a large head on the side of the road under a street light, which walked very strangely and then seemed to disappear in the dark. The other experience was when I was in bed, I woke up in the middle of the night with a grey leaning over me. I had an extreme euphoric sensation as though I was feeling the greys feelings.
I remember when I was a scout we were camping at Clifford Park, Victoria. I was walking down a dirt road with my scout team when a scout came out from behind a block of toilets and said "Aliens are behind the toilets". Everyone did not notice him except me, I laughed at him and kept walking with my team. Later that day his father came to pick him up and he left the scouts and I never saw him again. Out of all the scouts in the group he was probably the most honest and never lied. That night while in a cabin I had a nosebleed.

I now do my own research into UFO/alien reports, finding similarities with nanotechnology.

Home Alone?
Submitted by:
Mysterious Dr. X - Western Canada (Added 07/01/02)

I was just a teenager when this happened.

The folks left the house on a Saturday morning to do the weeks grocery shopping.

Just after I heard them pull out of the driveway, I heard a footstep on the stairwell next to my room. I got up quickly & checked the house to see any indication if someone broke in. No one had but I had the eerie feeling of being watched by an unseen entity as I checked out the main level of the house.

I cooked up breakfast, ate, then went to the living room to check out the baseball game. I heard a woman sigh. I looked up but saw no one. But I did feel a hand caress my left cheek.
