Paranormal

Things are sort of a mess right now. Some things under 'conspiracies' might go better under one of the 'sightings' section, and vice-versa. I plan on working on that problem whenever I can.

Here's a list of things found under other sections of the site that may interest you-

There is this restaurant in Southern California that was owned by a famous actor though i do not remember his name. It is said that the manager of the restaurant was dating the actors wife and either when the actor found this out he shot himself or he was murdered. He either comitted suicide or was murdered on the top floor of the restaurant. They say that when woman go up their with pig tails or just any style of hair the ghost "George" pulls their hair. When the waitresses or the customers turn around there is nobody there that could have done it. Also they say that at night when waitresse are closin up they hear a woman and a mans voice coming from the top floor. then cooks and waitresses complain because when they go to get plates or utensils they come to find that they have been scattered or hidden. Two more things that happen at the restaurant is that when customer's try to get up and leave they find that their shoe laces have been tied to the table. Then a group of ladies were taking a picture and when they got the film back there were orbs on the side of the picture.

There's a ghost story from near the old nieghborhood where I grew up in Dallas, Texas. Dozens of people have reported picking up a wet young lady in a white dress on White Rock Lake Drive. All have given similar reports.

The first known report of what's now refered to as the "lady of the lake" was made in the early 60's. A young couple taking a moonlight around the lake from Garland road back toward the old boathouse. They reported seeing a young white girl in a white dress alone, in the dark, walking beside the road. She was dripping wet although it was not raining out that night.

The young couple stopped to see if she needed help. She asked if they would give her a ride home. She said she lived in the big white house by the boathouses and kids offered to take her home. The young lady chatted with the wet passenger in the back seat as they road along White Rock Lake Drive. The young man glanced back in the rear view mirror at the beautiful, wet, young lady in the back seat several times as they drove along.

The couple pulled up the drive way of the that big old stucco house on the the hill behind the old boat houses. They stopped at the front step turned to say goodbye and the girl was gone. All they saw was a puddle of water on the back seat. The young girl was gone! They walked up to the house and rang concerned about the girl.

The servant that answered told the young couple that there were no young girls that lived in the house. But the couple were insistent. They described the wet young lady whom they had given a ride to. The astounded servant was visibly distraught. He admonishing the kids for playing such a cruel prank. There had been a young woman who lived there but she drowned in a boating accident on the lake several years earlier, and her family had never gotten over the loss.

There have been similar reports from cab drivers, cops, even a minister in one of the highland park churches. The story has been written up in the Dallas Morning News several times, usually around halloween. If you search back issues you can check it out.

at a sleep over not to long ago, me and 5 other girls were playing our own version of light as a feather stiff as a board. well as you would know it, it didn't work so we started to play the color game, you know the one where you think of a color and someone has to figure it out through esp. As we were playing it I kinda spaced out and it was odd but I got cold and I mean cold my temp was around 75 degrees, well scince i was in the middle of a round my thoughts wandered to a crash i was in a few years earlier, after this point it's kinda vage so im going to go off of what my partener said and all.

this is my friend talking "i started to loose the color and your hands just kept changing form hot to cold and back again and i started to get the picture of someone sitting in the back of a station wagon" (it was me, rachael) "and there was suit cases packed next to the person,....it was like i was seeing it through there eyes and they/ or i haow ever i should say it, was talking to there mother 'mom tell dad to pull over i think we should take a different way to the hotel' and mom said 'but that will take us even longer then' ' i know mom but i can't help feeling that some thing bads going to happen.' and the person i was see this through, took off there seat belt in order to turn around to talk to the mom and they had just sat back down and was about to buckle up when the car rear ended someone, after that i saw a bunch of figures go through the back window, they were thrown but the window didn't break, they went right through it, also there was a blinding light in front of the perrson i was seeing this through, and i t pinned them down, and kept them from being thrown." now my other friend, mallory, was in the room playing the game knew all about me, and every thing, i had known her for years yet i never told her about the crash. we think, the tree of us, that that white light was a spirt or something meant to save me and watch me while i was in trouble, it showed up in other memories to when we "transmeted them" and we think that mallory is the spirit we arn't sure yet but we think.

also that night i got realy cold again and when i moved to abrutly it was said that you could see something inside of me, as if it was trying to take over my body, and i was a bad thing,while that happened a cat that was in the roomo came over to me, sat down and wouldn't move an inch all during this and mallorystarted to get tired and said she saw someone getting killed and then the thing was gone form me. she all of a sudden got her energy back and was fine and i was warm again.

i think that that was a very wierd night, and im going to do a test on it.

Here is a pic that was taken during the summer of 2000 in Charlottesville,VA behind an apartment complex (The Meadows) where I used to reside. The orb has a face of a man somewhere in his mid 20's, but thats just a guess since I don't know who he was. Charlottesville has alot of history behind it, and is also a College town, so he may have even been a student of UVA in the past...who knows....The pic is great though. Enjoy!!!

This was actually taken from Bizzare New, but I just can't resist putting this one up
ZANZIBAR ISLAND, Africa - The people of Africa have a reason to fear the things that go bump (and grind) in the middle of the night. Rumor has it there is a sexually aggressive ghost that attacks people while they are asleep. The ghost goes by the name of Popo Bawa and people say he prefers to visit sleepers while they are in their own beds at home. Popo's presence is said to be revealed by an acrid smell and a puff of smoke. Women, however, are less concerned about this super-natural threat than the local men because this particular spirit has a preference for men, many of whom have reported being sodomized while they were asleep.

This is a story that my brother told me. It happened very recently. Thursday the 21st of June to be exact. This is what he told me:

"It was late and I had just started to lay down to go to sleep. Then I hear the sound of something that sounded like rustling sheets. So I look over in the direction of your bed and I see something standing tall in the darkness. So I call to you and I say, 'Matt is that you?' and you mumble 'yeah'. [note: I have no recollection of saying that or of him even asking that at all.] So I start to lay back down when i hear the sound again. But this time I turned on the TV to look and see if you were still standing up. Because I saw someone standing up in the darkness, but when i turned on the TV and looked, you were sound asleep laying in your bed with the covers pulled up to your head tightly like you were gonna freeze to death."

I have no idea how or why this would have happened, but my brother seems to think it's because I recently started playing "Magic: The Gathering" and I might have brought in some spirits or something.

This is a story of a paranormal experience that I've had. I've told very few people about this story, just because it brings memories that I care not to remember.

I was about 5 or 6, living in Germany at the time. My parents had a large bed compared to my size and I remember, sitting upright, under the same blue covers, on top of the same bed that my family still uses. I look out to the corner of the bedroom, northeast of where I lay, there is 3 white figures in the doorway, with red eyes, staring at me. I remember nothing past that moment, but my parents tell me otherwise. They say that I used to draw pictures of the paranormal beings. Sometimes childhood can bring back painful memories. To this day, I still don't recall drawing pictures, and for some reason, my parents or I cannot recall where the pictures are, or even if they kept them. I've begun to think that it was all a dream, a terrible, disturbing childhood dream. But the thing that seperates it from being a dream is the pictures. If only I could find them...

When I was either 4-5 yrs old. My baby sister died. I was sitting in the hospital with my family and my mom was worried about my sister, this is before she died. For reason unknown to me, I turned to my mom and told her not to cry or worry because after my sister dies, there will be another to fill the void. The next day, she died and a couple days/weeks later while the whole family was sitting in the living room watching television, I saw her standing by the television watching us. I tried to tell my parents that she was there but they wouldn't listen to me. She talked to me for a while but I can't remember what she had said. Then the rest of the night is all black, I can't remember what happened after the form disappeared.

Another one is where me, my twin brother, and my older sister were all playing hiden'seek in the house. We had a two story house with the attic door at the top of the stairs. My sister had gone into the attic to look for us and then we locked her in there, as a joke. She started to yell at us to let her out but we just laughed. Then she got quiet for a second andthen screamed bloody murder. We both tried to open the door and it wouldn't open. We couldn't figure out why, the lock was on our side and unlocked and the knob was turning but the door wouldn't open and she isn't strong enough to stop me and him from opening the door. After a minute of pulling, the door flung open and she crashed out because she was pushing on the door as well. We asked why she had screamed like that and she told us that something touched her head and when she turned around, there was only darkness (lights were on). We looked into the room and saw a small nail and said that she must have hit her head there but she didn't have a bump on her head. Also, she was wearing one of the thick plastic hair things, the girl stuff that holds their bangs out of their faces. Well, anyway when she went to show us where she was touched, the hair piece broke into two and fell to the floor. To say the least, that was the last time we went into that room.

Well Bob supposedly is a Boy who died in the auditorium some odd years ago (one ghost amongst others that ive heard of). It was mustang round up at John Jay. Mustang roundup is when all the school clubs get together and sell things to make lotsa cash with.We sold frozen lemonade and tea. We made a pretty good amount of money and afterwards we had to help clean.From what i hear, Bob is a really nice ghost,just don't do anything to tick him off!After i helped clean off the tables and such, i went into the auditorium to help wash and dry everything. I was going to drop a paper towel i used in the trash but i missed and it fell. And when i bent down to pick it up i felt this breeze go right in my ear , like someone blew in it.I thought maybe it was my friend so i called to her and no one answered she was already going out the back door, The weird thing about that breeze was that There were no doors no fans or anything to create a breeze unless a person stood right infront of me and blew in my ear.There was no one there at all!.Right after i told my friends and the teacher,They all told me that he had a crush on me.I am not scared of him though.I hear he is pretty kewl. I have also had some other short stuff happpen to me with ghosts if you wanna know anymore. I also happen to think that there aren't certain places that are haunted.Just more haunted. I think everything is haunted with the spirits of the dead, Just they are more like peaceful spirits just trying to get comfy!Some places are more haunted with angry ghosts or just crazy ones trying to scare you!

That weird feeling someone is watching you, but when you turn around, no one. A few minutes/hours later, you feel it again. You see a shadow, or did you? Is it all in your head? I was laying in bed thinking about candy, looking out the window. When I see something in front of me, a ghost? Its looking right at me, it appeared to be an older man in 1960's style clothing(green cardigan sweater, khakis, wingtips). For about 3 seconds, though it seemed like minute, I saw this figure. Then it was gone, and I was scared. Same place a few months later, different room. I was watching tv and about to go to sleep, when, I a white figure near the closet. I yelled(not to loud) "AHHH!" and it was gone. Weird thing about this was, my mom was right outside the door walking to the bathroom, wearing a white robe, seems weird to me. I heard some talking noises in the basement, I went down to investigate, no one. This is just from the place I live now, have had more ghost/weird experiences.
