I was walking home around 12:30a.m. or so and I was walking through a park. It was dark and I was walking by this really big tree.

As I went by it, I saw these little balls of light that seemed to be drawn to the tree. I knew that they were orbs and I happened to have my camera from photograghy class. So I took 3 pictures of the orbs and as I was going to take the forth picture the orbs just disappeared right in front of my eyes.

As soon as I got the pictures produced, I decided to get multiple copies and put them into my "Scrapbook of the Paranormal" and I'm planning on sending my scrapbook to a paranormal investigator and do some of my own investigations.

Poltergeist

I was in my room sleeping and at 6:53a.m. on March 15, 2002 and I was all of a sudden being woke up by a shoes being thrown around the room by some unatural force.

Ive had weird expierinces in my house before, but nothing like this.

I especially get the "expieriences" on the stairs that lead to the attic. It always smells like something is burning real close by or I feel like someone is behind me. It freaks me out. I always get this twingy feeling in stomach not to go up in the attic and as I get more and more up the stairs, the feeling gets stronger.

I don't know who or what this thing is. My family thinks I'm crazy and have a good imagination because they've never seen anything out of the ordinary - except my mom.

OK, one night i was at my Grandmas' (who lives in Newport) and she and my Grandpa went out to get dinner so i was alone in the apartment.

I went on my Grandpas PC (in his bedroom) and because no1 was home i didnt bother closing the door. so, i was surfing the net when i heard this creaking noise.

Now, it wasnt windy outside or anything but i just ingored it and kept chattin with my friends. but gradually, the tapping became louder and louder and soon it nearly deafened me well now i was a bit shocked but i stood up to see what it was and when i did my Grandpas door slammed really loudly.

One day when I was walking through the Leaning Tower of Piza I saw a girl in front of me. I thought she was just another tourist, and so I just ignored her and kept on walking. When I got to the top of the tower, I turned around and saw her again, only this time she was crying. I was about to walk up to her and ask what's the matter when all of a sudden she said 'Mi dispiace. Arrivederci.' which means 'I'm sorry, goodbye' in Italian. What she did next startled me. She jumped off the edge and as I watched her fall, she disappeared into thin air.

When I was in yr 4, I used to catch the bus to and from school.

I was with a friend when I first saw the dog. It was a cream bearded collie and it was just sitting next to a tree which was overgrown with vines.

I thought nothing of it until I saw it the next day. It started walking towards me and I was glad that the bus came at that moment. That was about the last time I saw it, but since the school used to be a farming area.

I think that it could have been some sort of spirit of someone's dog.

A friend was driving his car and approached the top of a hill. as he went over the hill the road was straight and at the bottom he saw a red light. he thought it was a red light from the top of the hill..so he came down the hill and approached this red light which was next to a cemetry on the left.

As he got closer to where the light was he realised that there wasnt any red light so he kept going and at that instant where the red light would have been stepped a figure right in front of the car. he ran over whatever jumped in front, so thinking he had hit someone he looked back into the rear vision mirror to see nothing!! my explanation would be that this thing that jumped infront of the car was a person who died when someone ran a red light. and the person that died was burried in the cemetry.

Sometimes when i am watching t.v in my house, i normally see a white cat come up to me, and when i turn away at look back it is gone. I feel it is the ghost of my cat Buster, who is buried in my backyard.

A couple of years ago, something was pushing my face into my pillow not letting me breathe. A couple of weeks ago we argued and the last two nights we have been seeing a spirit of a woman standing at the foot of our bed. She was wearing a white gown.

Several mornings in a row I have got up to get breakfast and found all the hanging coffee mugs hanging upside down very neatly. I often have the feeling someone has come into the room or I see a "person" watching me but when I look up they are gone. I feel that "they" are not evil beings but are just playful.

before i tell u about my experience i'll have to tell u a bit about the house. My greatgran's house and my Great, great grans houses are joint - 2 separated houses joined, but they share the same out door toilet, wash room and back yard - its a very old house - i guess it obvious in the fact that it one side used to belong to my great, great gran. its very strange, because my great grans house/side what ever u want to call it, was always fine, i always felt safe, well thats kind of a lie - my only concern as a little kid was that it was going to fall in on me - once again, its that old. But the house/side where my great, great gran lived in, ever since i can remember it always felt really uninviting, like you were being watched or something and what ever was in there DID NOT want u in there at all, it was telling you to GET OUT. It wasn't until i was about 7 that i mentioned it to my mum (it had never been discussed before) and she said she felt it too - even when her great grandparents were living there. my nan and my aunty (all on my mums side) feel it too. I've never actually seen the whole house - i've been too scared - what ever is in there does not like to have company! in the dining you feel fairly fine - its bearable and u can sit in there - this is going in the back door - the front door is jammed shut and has been for years. leading off the dining is the kitchen - which i WILL NOT go in, every time i've tried i've gotten this horrible feeling of dread, like somethings telling me to get back. also leading off the dining is the bathroom and the hall way. i've only been a couple steps in the hall way to reach the first bedroom - the childrens bedroom. the feeling is a little worse in there, but still bearable. and that is how far i will go down the hall. i haven't seen the rest of the house - apparently once you force yourself down the hall the loungeroom feels fine too. but its only me, my sister, mum, aunt and nan that feel the presence. everyone goes in there not feeling a thing - theres a family that rents it sometimes for a couple of nights! now the bathroom is where my experience comes in i was prob. about 9 when this happend (I'm 16 now). there is no door to the bathroom, its just a curtain and its always closed. one day when sitting in the dining room i got up the courage to go and look in there - after all it ran off the dining room and that felt ok - sorta. i started to walk towards it and that feeling of dread came flooding back and something was telling me to go back and as i got closer, so did the feeling, it was quite clear i wasn't welcome. but despite all that i pushed on i reached for the curtain and just before i touched it - my hand was only centimeters away. this vision of an old lady - a corpse lying in the bath came into my head. you could see she was a corpse because she was kind of rotten looking - gross, i know. then i saw my self walk in there and her eyes opening and sitting up and looking at me. then i sort of snapped out of it - i'd been standing in the same pose for the entire time. then, u did not see me for dust! i ran out that back door faster than i've ever ran before in my life!

I live in a suburb south of Sydney named Heathcote East. Any of you familiar with the suburb would be aware that it's surrounded by The Royal National Park on 3 sides. You may remember the suburb from the recent bushfires of 2001/2002.

Anyway, back to the "story"..I usually try and go for a bike ride in the Park at least 4 times a week. It's quite relaxing and keeps me in shape. Anyway, the fiter I get the further I venture into the quite dense bush. It's in this dense bush that I first had the feeling of being watched. Actually, it's more than just a feeling. The surrounding area seems to go extremely quiet....no birds, no nothing, just total silence. At first I quite enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and quite surreal to be so close to sydney and in total silence. Then it happened.....

The feeling of being watched became over powering on one occasion. I spun around quickly and just caught a glimpse of a large "animal" turn and crash through the bush. The sound of it running through the bush was quite loud indicating a large, heavy animal. Although it sounded to be clumsily running through the scrub quite the opposite was true. It left very little damage to the surrounding trees and would be almost impossible to follow. It was maybe 15 minutes after this that I heard a low pitched howling from the next valley, perhaps 3-4 kilometers away..I have never heard anything like this before in the Park.

Our old village in India,was the first time i ever came across a ghost. The village is on the outskirts untouched by modernisation and civilization. Electricity wasent available. We had to make do with brass oil lamps.

We were sitting by the campfire, when we heard the sound of a haunting voice singing in the distance. All of us wondered What the deal was, and nearing the old fort we saw this beautiful female singing. She waslked away from us, we didnt think she was a ghost cause we thought ghosts disappeared as soon as you caught sight of them.

This woman just kept on singing and walking away from us.

When we 12 or 13 my little brother and I were watching tv, the show was fast forward a comedy sketch show, I lived on the 18th floor of a housing commission building. That night a bright light, a sphere appeared in our lounge window, it was the size of a basketball. We were frozen, staring at it for what seemed an eternity, then it disappeared, it think I tried to approach it, but afterwards we shat ourselves.

Afterwards I think I heard the sound of a helicopter but not the normal coppa ones, this one sounded like the ones in the Vietnam war movies.
