Ghosts.

[logueb]

When I returned home from the Army in 1973 I purchased a Turn of the Century home. The home had not been occupied for many years and the lady who lived there had died in a nursing home. The home was built by a local man and had in his will that his sister would live there until her death. The house went to the niece and nephew of this lady. They put the house on the market and I bought it with the help of the VA under the GI Bill. I had never given much thought to ghost and chalked up most stories as someones vivid imagination. Untill little things began to happen that could not be explained. There was a large bed room at the front corner of the house. My young son's bedroom had a door that seperated the two rooms. Sort of a shorter door than was normal for the house. He complained that he could hear the door shaking at night and someone turning the door knob. I took it as a sign that he just wanted to sleep in the room with us. I installed one of those hooking door latches like you put on the inside of a screen door to make him feel more secure. There is a long hall that runs down the entire length of the house. Typical to many houses built during this era. My wife complained that as she would walk up the hallway that the door to this bedroom would of a sudden swing open into the hallway. Well I put a latch on the hallway side of this door also. We just used this room as a storage room. Then things began to go missing from the room only to reappear later. I started to night college and my wife was terrified staying there at night. She comlained about hearing noises. I came home one night from school and she was sitting in the front room with the shotgun aimed at the bedroom door and said someone was in there and had rattled both doors. Well, I opened the door and assured her that no one was in there and it was her imagination playing tricks on her. Well, one night she and the boy were staying with her mom and it happened. I heard a noise from the front of the house and went to investigate. The door between that bedroom and my son's room was moving. Just a steady vibrating enough for that latch to rattle. I went in, gun in hand, to find no one inside. Totally creeped me out. A brick ranch house came up for sale in the town my wife's mom lived in so I bought it. I rented out the house for several years before I sold it. But guess who bought it? The man that I bought it from insisted I sell it back to him. Said his daughter,(who was in her 50's at the time) wanted it because it belonged to her granfather. Well, she bought the house, but no one has lived in it since. Still sits there, vacant, just like when I bought it. So I guess whatever is there lives in peace. No young couple and kids to disturb them. Well, while we lived in the next town we had a daughter who had never lived in the house and had never heard of the stories about the house. After my renters moved we were checking the house before we sold it. As my daughter was walking up the hallway , it happened again, that door opened into the hallway. When she told us about it, me and the wife just looked at each other..

Basically anything that happens can be explained when looked at it through rational terms.

Esplane me being here after being declaired dead 3 times with the last one being for 20 mins with no sinus or sign waves. Huh. The docs still say they don't unnerstan but he I eara. I bees the "Supernatural Kid" This calls for a littl gig around the room but i don't have me leg on an I'd prolly juss bust me butt.....

There are many things that happen every day that can't be explained by science or any othe rational means. That is why folks is still bumpin around in the dark wonderin "Wasss up"!!!!!!!

My brothers totem was hummingbird.On the day of his funeral at the church,when my family and I got out of our car my daughter noticed a hummingbird by my brothers family car.It flew around the entire car,stopping at every window,then it went to my fathers car and did the same thing.When we walked away from our car it did the same thing to our car.My son straight up asked if that was Uncle Mike?I got to explain the lesson of our physical bodies giving out,but that the our spirit lives on.Then I left it up to my children to choose what they believed.When we got inside my daughter started sneaking flowers from the arangments into my brothers casket.When it got not noticible people asked me what she was doing.I just said that hummingbirds liked flowers.

Ive seen an indian in the woods before 2 eyes and feathers in his hair peering out of the bushes..there was a huge pile of granite that i was looking at when i saw him it was round and dome like it had moss between every orifice i looked left saw the feathers stepped forward 1 step saw the eyes turned around shovel in hand and ran so fast it felt like my heart was gonna blow out of my chest..anyone know if natives buried their people in mounds here in mass?

 

[ajohn]

JDI,
Most native cultures respect courage.If your heart is right and would like to know what it was you invisioned,take some tobacco,sage(white),and some sweet grass.Find a small clearing near your site,smudge with the sage and sweet grass,asking for permission to be there,then offer the tobacco as a gift and wait,clearing your heart of any fear.
Who knows,maybe he is lost.
Let me know if you need some sage,I'll send you some....Anthony-John

 

[RedGinger]

AJohn, that sage you sent us is great. How often should it be used? What do you mean by sweet grass? Can you also do this if you want to see a loved one that has passed away?

 

[capsoda]

Here in the east you use corn grass or rabbit tobacco and bitterweed ( eastern version of sweet grass) rubbed on the face, chest and arms and burn some of the tobacco while asking permission and offer the rest of the tobacco.

It is offen used to seek talks over disturbed burrial areas so that they can be put to peace once again. I have assisted in twice in my neighborhood and once in Monroeville, Al. The local tribes don't seem to want to do anything but complain and build casinos on their land so it is usually done by those who are but are deigned. Then when ask how do you know rituals and medicine you just smile and say "I read it in a book".[]

Oh yea, it is not for the easily spooked, squeamish or nervious types. Sit still, be cool and pay attention.
