Terrifying Dreams
Submitted by:
montmagic - Melbourne, Australia (08/06/02)

Hi people,

I know my soul is a reincarnation of my Great, Great Grandmother, so not many things can alarm me, but my experiences in a house I once lived in scared me to the point I was afraid to sleep at night without inducing myself to sleep.

I have always been able to remember my dreams quite well, but these ones I don't care to remember.

I would dream that masked men would enter the room where my Husband and I would be soundly asleep and proceed to stab us to death. These men would straddle each of us and stab fast at our chests.

These dreams terrified me so much that during the ordeal I would scream in a voice which was not my own. My Husband got to the point where he would get ready for these dreams to happen so he could wake me without getting hurt himself for I would thrash, scratch, punch, kick and scare the hell out of him.

After he would wake me I would cry uncontrollably for 30 mins, shaking in terror for these dreams were so real.
One night I placed a long cassette into the recorder and put in under the bed, so my husband wouldn't know I had it going, he wanted me to get it out of my head, not keep a record of it.

The voice on the tape is much deeper than my own, I know your voice always sounds weird on tape, but everyone who has heard it says it's not me.

Thankfully, we have since moved and I am happy to say I have never had this nightmare ever again.

The house was an old Farmhouse in Victoria. I really believe something horrible happened in that house.

Cemetery Investigation
Submitted by:
Leadingshield - Adelaide, Australia (04/06/02)

Out of respect for a particular cemetery here in South Australia, I shall make no mention as to the location of said cemetery, and shall also change names of any deceased person used throughout this experience.

I was part of a group of people conducting an investigation, we visited this cemetery during the daylight hours to get a feel for the place and to familiarise ourselves with it. We had been told about a particular grave site which has a lot of history behind it, and was told that it was an unmarked grave, and was taken to see it. After viewing this grave site, we walked further down towards the outer perimeter and I noticed what appeared to be a brand new grave, complete with the most beautiful cast iron fencing and marker, I won't call it a headstone, as it too was made of cast iron. As it turned out, this new grave was placed here out of respect for the deceased in the un-marked grave we looked at earlier, and it also held the name of the deceased individual, no longer was this person to rest in peace without being unknown.

Later that evening, we came back to the cemetery for our investigation with the aid of infra-red video cameras. I was filming over near the unmarked grave, about 20 metres away from it, a few colleagues came over with their cameras and said "shall we go and film around the unmarked grave and see if we can capture anything?" So we all walked over to the unmarked grave, filming along the way, nothing much appeared to be happening so I said "how about we go film the brand new grave and see if this person has gone over there?" We all kept filming right up to the new grave, which must have been a few minutes walk around all the other graves to get there, I walked around to the bottom end of the grave so I could film the deceased persons name, well, just as I got to the foot of the grave, my camera was switched off, not by me, but by something, also, one of the other people filming had his camera all go out of focus and it too started acting up, but the other person in this group had no troubles whatsoever and kept right on filming.
I am a male, the other person whose camera played up is a male, and yes you guessed it, the other person whose camera worked fine, is a female. The deceased person who we where filming is a female. I guess she does not like men, and I'm not at all surprised when you find out the history of what this young female went through in her life.

Anyway, my camera still would not switch back on until we where about half way out of the cemetery, and then it was as if nothing happened. I took note of how much footage I had shot that night, 48 minutes and approx 25 seconds.

The next day, I set about transferring the footage from the camera to a VHS tape, and just left it to do its thing. I then proceeded to watch the video, when I got to the end of the footage I said to myself "Hang-about, something funny here" so I rewound for about ten minutes and watched again, and again, and then it clicked, I looked at the timer on the video recorder at the end of the footage, 42 minutes exactly, where has the other 6 1/2 minutes of footage gone???? And yes you guessed again, not only had this deceased person switched my camera off, but she also wiped all of the footage that had anything whatsoever to do with her.

Strange Flashes
Submitted by:
missteke - Adelaide, SA, Australia (05/05/02)

This experience occurred over about a year.

At the time I was engaged to a guy named Kim, and had just moved into a new home. I had never lived alone before, but after about a week I began feeling comfortable and to enjoy the freedom it afforded.

Because I lived on the other side of the city from Kim, and neither of us drove, and it took about two and a half hours to get to each others homes we didn't get to spend a lot of time together, other than on the phone.

During the second week of my living there I was watching TV, and, as is my custom, I had the lights off, when all of a sudden there was a bright green flash of light from my bedroom which was off the lounge room. As it was so fast I told myself that I'd imagined it and went back to watching TV.

A few days later it happened again. It seemed that every few days it would occur. It never frightened me, and after a while I came to the realisation that I was being visited by someone or something. Soon I was being visited on a nightly basis.

I told Kim about it but he said it was just my "active imagination" or that I was "freaked out" by living alone for the first time.

Eventually Kim got some time off work and came to stay with me for two weeks. For the first week of his visit I was visited every night, sometimes several times a night, but only while we were sleeping. I know this because so bright were the flashes that I was woken each time. The flashes were so bright that when I opened my eyes I could see spots! I would wake Kim and ask him if he'd seen it but the answer was always the same. "You're only dreaming it, love. Go back to sleep."

The second week there were no more flashes, no more visible visitations, apart from bottles, spoons and towels being thrown at Kim, never at me, and only when I wasn't in the same room as him.

Kim got it into his mind that I was the one throwing these things at him even though I wasn't even in the same room as he was. I began putting the sharp knives, which I kept in a knife block, in a locked draw in my room. It was inconvenient but I felt it was necessary for Kim's safety. He thought I was being paranoid or something, but I didn't care.

After a few days Kim decided that he'd had "just about enough" of MY "attitude" and went home.

That night the flashes returned to normal.... Until Kim came to stay again, then things would start flying and he'd blame me.

This destroyed our relationship, but as it turned out, that was a good thing. I found out later that he'd been sleeping with my best friends' boyfriends sister. The flashes continued on a more frequent basis, usually three times a night, sometimes more, sometimes less.

About a year and a half ago, I moved to a new home and haven't seen the flashes since. In a way I really miss them they made me feel safe, even loved I guess.

To this day I don't know if it was a jealous spirit or one that was trying to stop me from making the worst mistake of my life. Whatever, I'm just grateful to it.

Terrifying Vision
Submitted by:
missteke - Adelaide, SA, Australia (02/05/02)

I have had several experiences over the last 28 years, but there are two that stand out prominently in my mind. This story is about my first ever ghostly experience.

This occurred when I was all of 6 years old. At the time I was living in a caravan on a property my parents owned about 5 or 6 acres, located in Queensland, Australia.

One night, my neighbour and friend of the same age decided to sneak out and meet up and go to the top paddock of her parents property. We were forbidden to go there and were curious as to why.

We met at the border of our properties and left for the top paddock, chatting and yawning as we went. We crawled under the barbed-wire fence and walked towards the middle of the field. Suddenly, out of no-where, there was an ear shattering scream. We saw a white horse with a small boy riding full pelt towards us.

We were frozen with shock or fear or both, and the horse and boy kept coming closer and closer, we could see the horses eyes - they were glowing red.

We turned and ran as fast as we could. Thank God we hadn't come too far from the fence, we dove under it just as the ghost horse and boy pulled up, almost crashing into the fence, spewing dust and dirt everywhere. We ran and ran looking back over our shoulders every once in a while. They didn't (or couldn't) follow us past the fence, we didn't care we kept running till we reached our homes. I crept back inside to cower under my blankets for the rest of the night, shaking, jumping at every sound.

When my mother and father got up the next morning and saw the state of my pyjamas, grass stains, dirt, even some blood on my back and hands from sliding under a barbed-wire fence and not quite missing the wire, they were furious to say the least.

Neither my friend nor I told my parents about our experience till years later.

Peggy's Message
Submitted by:
**Rat** - Brightion (01/04/02)

i have never told anyone about this cause i thought a lot of people would make fun of me or think that i am telling stories. but this really did happen, and i have never been able to stay at home by myself since.

i am 15 this year and when i was 13 i was asking my mother about all the pictures we have on our hallway, they are all really old pictures of my past relatives. she pointed out one that she thought was the weirdest.

Peggy, my great great grandmother, was born on 10th May. i can't remember the year but the date scared me cause its the same as my b'day. my great grandmother said i look just like her. and when i was 14 she kept calling me mum and she keep on going on about how much she hated me. what happened with Peggy is that she killed herself after giving birth to my great grandmother, because she suffered from depression.

Now time for what happened to me.

i was 14 when i was home by myself for the night cause my parents were out for dinner and my brother was at a friends. i was in my room reading when i felt strange. so i went out to the hall way when a big gust of wind came through but the door was closed and locked for security reasons.

i went over to see where the wind was coming from when i heard a smashing sound behind me. the picture of peggy was taking off the wall and smashed to the ground. glass went everywhere i picked up the picture and cut myself on the hand so i ran to the bathroom to put something on it. i looked up in the mirror but i wasn't looking at me. i saw Peggy, she said 'i'm sorry, tell her i'm sorry' then she was gone, the bleeding stopped and the cut wasn't there anymore.
from this day on whenever i am home by myself i sit in front of the tv with the door closed with the tv up as loud as it can go so i can't hear anything at all.

Vivid Encounter
Submitted by:
ZacMuse (08/03/02)

I was bush track driving with 4 friends we were having a laugh and trying to freak each other out on a cold dark night. I was in the back seat of the car and decided to close my eyes and relax. A few minutes later (eyes still closed) I could see an Aboriginal woman chasing the car, she was wearing a brown long dress and had the look of great distress on her face. She would of been about 55/60. Out of nowhere 6 german Shepard dogs leap onto the track and are chasing the woman.

At that point I start screaming at the driver telling him to pull over and help the woman. I heard someone say what woman? I was close to losing it at that point and continued to yell pull over and help her. Next thing I hear is laughter, they thought I was joking trying to spin them out, by that time I was crying half out of fear for myself and half out of fear for the woman.

I was so hysterical the driver started to freak out and put his foot down and said "I'm getting the f**k outta here!". I opened my eyes and everything was back to normal no woman no dogs just a sense of general unease from everyone in the car, I bit my lip and closed my eyes and to my distress the woman and the dogs were back.

I felt the car leave gravel and hit the road at the same time the old Aboriginal woman changed form into a young blonde haired girl about 15 and she was still being chased by the dogs.She was wearing a black long pencil skirt and what looked like one of those pink cashmere sweaters.
I told everyone that the old woman changed into the girl and was still being chased by the dogs. The driver all of a sudden screamed out the window "Help her Agremere!". At that very moment my vision finished.

It was about 20 mins later we were all sitting at one of the cars occupants house all visibly shaken, I asked the driver why he called out the name Agremere? He just answered "It just came into my head so I yelled it".

To this day the driver and myself have some unseen bond that we share, we sometimes talk about that night and wonder who the women were and if they are okay.

Bigfoot in Texas
Submitted by:
Dee, member of Monkey Chaers - Tenessee (06/03/02)

On Saturday afternoon (Feb 23rd 2002) the group went out for a bit of a hike and found numerous markers and signs. After supper everyone decided to get out and do a bit of bigfooting.

On the road to the area we were going to be researching, the lead vehicle's headlights caught a couple of the creatures crossing the road. One held back and returned to the side they were coming from and ran back into the woods. They used spotlights and being in the back vehicle and with the sliding door open to the van with my camera going..... I picked up some dark shadow moving and dropping to the ground as the light hit it. As we slowly started moving we all heard a scream and I was a bit afraid that it might be running our way in the 2nd vehicle and the sliding door was stuck so here we were going down the road with the door wide open.

We got to the first site we were to check out and it was wonderful. Total darkness and constant response to the calls of Coonbo and Bear. It was exhilarating. There were series of screams and calls and each time were getting closer and eventually had us surrounded. We decided it was time to move out and as Coonbo was pulling forward and I was trying to get the van shut I heard charging footsteps and then over the motors and thru closed windows we heard a very challenging howl and it was very close to the truck as it was moving away.

We stopped at another spot about 3/4 mile away where we had found numerous markers. When we got out, we could still hear the one that had charged us throwing a fit. Sounded as if he was so angry he could spit because he didn't get to us.

Then the ruckus started again about 1/4 mile from where we were. I was able to catch something cross the road down in front of our vehicles out the corner of my eye as I was turning around. I was getting all sorts of eerie feelings even though I was excited and not afraid.

The sounds they made sounded so angry and excited. We were able to hear growls and grunts that sounded like they could have been as close as 25ft away. There was also movement in the woods behind us before I caught a glimpse of the thing cross the road ahead of us.

All in all this was the most wonderful experience I've had thus far. The sounds they made and with such ferocity were so much different than what I have heard here where our research is.

I'm hoping that we are able to get some response here by using some of the calls heard this weekend.

I am planning to get together with some of the other researchers from our group and go back to Texas sometime real soon. I really would love to get some better video footage and recordings.

Psychic Abilities
Submitted by:
gogh (03/03/02)

Hi I am writing to introduce myself and hopefully come into contact with like minded people. I have had psychic abilities ever since I can remember and this has had it's good and bad elements. The first experience I recall clearly was the events leading up to the death of my father's father.

Grandpa visited me in recurring dreams until I predicted his death when I was only very young. I feel, see, hear and can communicate with spirits on their terms. I feel that I am helped in my day to day life by a power greater than myself and thoughts I receive which I don't think of! Sounds bizarre but for me the movie 'Always' explained the way this occurs. I don't necessarily believe in all the concepts of the movie but the communication process is definitely accurate.

I get rather trivial messages and sometimes the messages are a little more serious. I had a premonition about Ebony Simpson, a little girl drowned in NSW by a convicted Andrew Garforth. Also premonitions about earthquakes, people lost or murdered, car accidents and things which people I know will do in the future. Whatever I get I have no control over and sometimes I get angry as things can seem futile when I am powerless to prevent many occurrences but there must be some rhyme and reason to these things no matter what it is or isn't.

It has taken me a very long time to come to terms with my 'gift'. If not for the amount of times it has kept me safe and even saved my life I would probably gladly do without it. It hurts when people refuse to believe you or will not listen. Now I've learnt that this is a part of me. It's meant to be and the best I can do is accept it and rely on a greater power's guidance to help me each day. It is part of my life, not all my life.

I do want to help people and I do want to share my gift. It's lonely sometimes because I have only a few people I can discuss it with and nobody I am in regular contact with who shares my gift or my beliefs about it. One downfall is people trying to impress upon you there beliefs about psychic ability. I would like to help other psychics understand their gift and share experiences with them. I have lots of stories I'd like to tell but for now, thank you for this site and please post me a message and have a chat. I love to meet new people and discuss ideas and experiences. I will be as open minded as a I can be and hopefully as helpful as I can be also.

Peace and love, gogh
