Subject = my house is haunted
Story = first i want to say that ive lived with this sort of thing for many years.

But the most recent and ongoing situation is in the house that my wife and i live in now.

We live in northern Minn. a nice quiet town where you are very likely to see deer, eagles, loons, bears and a number of other forms of wildlife.

We moved here about six months ago thru a transfer in my wife’s job. We were lucky enough to find a nice little house for a very reasonable monthly rent. It’s a little strange in the fact that it’s connected to the back of a small clinic. The Dr. that owns the clinic is also our landlord. When we first looked at the house i asked him about the history of it but he was very vague in his answer. A number of years ago the front that is now the clinic was at one time a flower shop and the owners lived in the house we live in now. After that it was a beauty parlor. Again the owners lived in the house we live in now. That period is very significant to the happenings here.
I’ve gotten most of my information from friends that i work with that have lived in this town for many years. so far I’ve found out that a couple by the name of jim and nancy lived here with their children, they ran the flower shop in the 70's. What i found out is that in the early 70's one of their chidren, four year old Debbie, went across the ally in the back yard to play in the neighbor’s garage. The garage door was propped up by a water ski and not very sturdy. As she was playing in the doorway of the garage the ski slipped out, the door fell on her and killed her. Well, before we found out this information we had seen a few very small balls of light move thru our living room. One of which seemed to buzz right in front of my face before disappearing. We also were surprised to find very small fingerprints on windows, mirrors and our t.v. Screen. It seemed the more information we found out, the more active she became. I say she because i really feel that it is the four year.
Old Debbie that is here with us. So far we still at times find little finger prints and we often see small to medium sized balls of light move thru our living room. Sometimes we will see small dark objects that are like a formless shadow. BUT, one time my wife saw above my head on the wall what she could only explain as the shadow of a small arm. It lasted only a few seconds and then was gone. About a week ago we were watching TV in the living room when the curtains very slowly moved away from the window on one side about three and a half feet up from the floor. They moved about a foot and a half away from the window, stayed there for about three seconds then slowly moved back in place. There were no drafts, the window was closed and nothing that i could find to cause the curtain to move that way. We agreed that it was as if a small child went behind the curtains to look outside. In the last month or so we have had our bathroom trashed while we were both at work. (Things knock!
Ed over, toilet paper on the floor, some small things pulled out of the cabinet and layed on the floor.) That also happened in our kitchen once. We also have felt things. My wife felt something against her leg one day in the kitchen, she looked down and of course nothing was there. That same morning i was lying in bed awake with my eyes closed when i felt someone pushing down on the bed on either side of my feet. I opened my eyes thinking i would see my wife. No one was there, i could still feel the pressure of someone pushing down on the bed and i could see indentations on the bed.
One morning when i was in the shower i heard a voice on the other side of the shower curtain. It was only one word and i couldn’t make out what it was. Right away i looked out and of course no one was there and my wife was still in bed sleeping. Anyway, the most recent things have been the balls of light and again just last weekend i was buzzed by one. It came from my left towards my face making me duck back. It moved away from my face then and faded away about two feet away from me. The last thing to happen was two nights ago when i kept seeing small shapes by the living room window that would fade away like mist. That same night my wife saw a ball of light move thru our living room.
So, everyday i see where Debbie was killed. The garage is gone but the cement slab is still there as a reminder to that tragic day over thirty years ago. I know that "things" are going to continue to happen here and its almost becoming an obsession with me to further find out as much as i can about the history of this house and the tragedy that occured here.

story = So sorry, wasn't finished..

After the pictures, we went out and had a nice, relaxing dinner and came back to the room to wath T.V. and talk. Suddenly, my daughter (she was 16 at the time) jumped up, ran across the room and grabbed me! She was so frightened that she could not tell me what had happened. After i managed to calm her down a bit, she said she didn't know if she could stay the night. She had been looking at the TV and caught a glimpse of movement in the corner of her eye. When she looked to what it was, the figure of a man was floating from the wall to her right across the room toward the wall on the other side.. She didn't know if he made it that far, because that's when she jumped up, started screaming and ran to me. She still has trouble talking about today and says that MAYBE she didn't really see it. Well, I know my daughter.. she saw SOMETHING and scared her so bad she ened up in my lap. And my daughter does not scare easily. We want to!
go back, but have not had the courage to make the reservations as of yet, but are slowly working our way there.

story = GHOST

Beyond the realm of reason, where loathsome dark abides.
Captive souls of death depart, forced to the other side.

Their demise was so untimely, fate had snatched them on demand,
in anguish they keep searching, thru that strange tormented land.

Confused, they plead and beckon, alone they search in vain,
from photographic memories, etched on a different plane.

Do you hear that distant calling? See the mist that floats around.
They are doomed in time to wander, desired rest that can't be found.

Hungry to communicate, thru footsteps in the hall.
Lights that dim and flicker, darting shadows on a wall.

Tugged-on covers in the bedroom, objects glide across mid-air,
appliances turn on and off, to let you know they're there.

Hear that ghastly moaning, it's a dreadful, lonely cry,
gives an icy, bone-chilled feeling, when ghosts go wisping by.

subject = Haunted Hotel Arcata
In February of 1998, I stayed at the Hotel Arcata in Arcata, California. During the night, I woke up to see what appeared to be apparitions of people milling about the room. There was no noise. The people didn't stay still; they seemed to be walking in and out casually as if at a cocktail party. I watched them until the last one left the room.Darling

Biltmore hotel, coral gables
I was in the biltmore hotel. Me and my family were staying there fora few days. I was very thirsty and went to go get some water. i heard some strange noises coming from the bathroom and when i went to the bathroom i found that the bathtub was full of water and when i went to ask anyone they had said they were in the pool all day. Then i went to the pool for a swim and took a few pictures with my family. After i checked out from the hotel, i went to develop my pictures and when i was looking at the pool pictures, i noticed that there were faces behind us. i couldn't beleive it! there was nobody behind us at that time, and the faces were abnormal, since that day on i've never went back and i have been too terrorized to show, or tell anyone about this matter.

Name = pug monster
Subject = Haunted House
Story = My husband spent a year restoring an old house for a gentlemen out in the country this house built in the 1800's had been left to disrepair for many years. I frequented the house many times and strange and odd things happened on many occasions. In this story I will tell you of the history of the house and the things that happened to me on my first visit.
This house was owned by a local dairy farmer and his wife and many children. There were I believe 13 children. In this large old house there are thirteen rooms. This house had been added on to many times as the family grew and grew to be a beautiful and imposing structure. I love old houses and was determined to find out its history. The woman of the household was very, very religious and this estate at one time encompassed 3000 acres. The preacher of the local church visited this woman many times and whenever the church needed money he would persuade her to donate some of their land to the church. Over the years the land eventually shrunk to fifty acres by the 1900's. The original part of the house was very old with a stone fireplace made with horsehair between the stones and rough-hewn logs in the kitchen. It has double winding staircases on both sides of the house leading to the upper floors where there are many rooms and a very large attic above with a narrow winding staircase ascending.
My first visit to the house was after dark and an eventful one. My husband had me pick him up from work and wanted to show me the house all the locks had been replaced with new ones and when he tried his keys to open the door it would not let us in. On the property directly connecting the house is an old stone springhouse where all the perishables were kept we could not enter it either and tried repeatly. The basement door would open when passing and this happened on many occasions. After finally getting into the house by the back door the only door that still had the original hardware he proceeded to show me the house. I am very sensitive about such places and can usually tell if there is a presence I immediately knew this house was haunted and by the old woman who had lived there.
After exploring the downstairs and feeling very watched the whole time we went upstairs to the second floor. The room on the end of the hallway was an octagon shaped room with many windows this room I perceived as a small girls room. Later I was to find out this was true a small frail little girl had indeed occupied this room. The large bedroom with adjourning side room, which I envisioned as a nursery, had a large porch on the front for setting in the evening. I had a very, very strong feeling that the old woman did not want us there and hurried my husband along on the rest of the tour. My husband went to open the door to the attic and it would not let us open the door after repeated attempts we finally gave up and called it a day and I knew she did not want us there so we left. On another occasion they had just replaced all the wiring in the house and everything was up to code my dryer had broken down and the man my husband worked for said I could use theirs. I went early than!
T day and did my laundry and went to turn on the washer and it would not work my husband checked everything and nothing seemed wrong this happened again the next day in the morning they tried it and it worked fine but this was after dark and I can only conclude she did not want us to be there after dark. I tried three times to use the laundry on different days and it would just not work so I finally stopped trying. The attic in this house was a mystery in itself upon buying the house they found a grand piano in it but no one could determine how it had gotten there the stairs were to narrow and at the time the house had been occupied there was not machinery capable of lifting it into the attic before the roof was applied. Upon further examination of this huge, unsettling old attic I found a picture of the old woman and a bunch of receipts from when she donated money to the church. The caretaker who stayed at the house was a very quiet nervous little man who would not talk about!
His experiences there after dark only to say there were things there after dark eventually he would not stay there only on the ground floor in the newer section. The story goes that if you fell asleep by the fireplace you would wake up in the attic. This property had many stories circulated about it for many years and had always been considered occupied by spirits. On the property there is a family graveyard with gravestones of past relatives and there are some of a few of the children who died. A small girl named Susan is included among them. I believe that her room was the octagon room. I wanted to own that house in the worst way and know it is occupied by that old woman. I tracked down a gentleman who had been a worker on the farm when a boy and what I learned from him verified what I had thought was true she was a strange old woman with certain beliefs after dinner it was family time and no work was done only what was considered necessary and on Sunday no work was done. I!
Pass it sometimes and wonder if she's still there and making her presence known. There are many stories from that house this is one.

This is from the dark part of the soul
This is all the things that i happen to see, my eyes can see more than the average eye, ill explain more in a minute:

This cant be true, the things i see are wrong, because i have been seeing this everywhere, it has been to long. When i am asleep and when im not, this image just follows me, something of its i got. It’s an old man, with his skin so pale, this is the true story, this is not a tale. I see this man, everyday and every night, I can just feel, that I’m supposed to make things right. There’s a reason he follows me, there’s a reason he's here, He's around me everyday all day, and that im starting to fear. Why is it me, that he puts into his sight, it seems when I’m asleep, he’s pulling me towards a light. I wake up every night, sweat dripping down like rain, the man that’s always around, is just trying to show me his pain. Something happened in this house, story is untold, but the way this mysterious man is working, the story is about to unfold. He is suffering in the life that he lives now, that’s just what i can see, if i cant help this man, dead is probably what i would be. I want him to let me know, what it is i could do, because the way that he's always around, makes me feel like I’m dying too. He came to me one day, and a chill went up my spine, the silent words of the old mans voice, said this house was all mine. He showed me upstairs, which i never knew was there, As soon as we got to the door, a sign appeared BEWARE! We went inside that old room, only to find, a bunch of old dead peoples bones that this spirit has left behind. The people in this room, killed this man, and took over his house, so the man came back to haunt them, but he was as discrete as a mouse. He came back for revenge, for the teens that scared him to death, before he killed all of them, he could see the coldness from there breathe. The man was showing me this, threw this train of thought, this happened to be a fight, that the teens won, they thought. He scared them to the point, that they were hiding from the noise, but what they didn’t realize, that they were soon six dead boys. He only wanted to be alone, and live his life free, but just for some kids having some fun, 6 went down to three. 3 were gone and three were left, waiting for their fait, they started screaming for help, but it happened to be to late. He scared all six boys to death, and revenge is what he got, just by the man showing me this, to him it meant a lot. Now his spirit lives free, from the kids that haunted his mind, this man was real nice, he was the quiet kind. So this goes to prove, that life still lives on, but for those six teenage boys, there spirits are long gone.
