I have always been intrigued by the thought of spirits interacting with us. It wasn't until Summer of 2006 that I started to actually investigate. I have had quite a few experiences which will all be told here and divided by year on separate pages. The links to each are at the top of this page. Now, on to the stories...
Even though I recall having the feeling of someone watching me as far back as I can remember, the first memories I really have of anything paranormal was at my grandma's house around 1995/96. Numerous times I would be upstairs alone and hear a man singing while playing the guitar. I couldn't recognize any words or tune.
I worked at Wal-Mart in the Snack Bar for about a year in 2000. Every night, while washing dishes in the back room, I would see a shadow cast on the wall and sink in front of me as if someone had passed by behind me. Of course, no one was around. The same would happen on many occasions while working in a factory from 2000-2002.
The more exciting experiences started happening when my boyfriend and I rented our first place together.
One day, I stepped one foot in the bathroom so I could peek around the corner and see if something was in the medicine cabinet. As I turned my head I saw a large drop of water fall from the ceiling. It fell in to a tupperware dish that was sitting in the tub. I looked to see ripples in the dish and I even heard the water drop make contact. I looked at the ceiling for any sign of water. There was none...not even a water stain.
One night, while lying in my bed, I noticed something across the room. I saw my daughter (10yrs old at the time) standing there staring at me. I looked down and back up to see her still standing there motionless. I looked down and back up again and she was gone. I knew it wasn't her because of the fact that my daughter never came upstairs. She sensed "someone" didn't want her up there and it freaked her out. Plus, every step creaked so it was impossible to sneak up or down them. I never heard any sounds.
Another evening I was watching TV in the living room with all the lights out. I noticed a ball of light about 4ft off the floor on the other side of the room. It moved from left to right for about 1ft, turned toward the floor and disappeared. This ball of light was bright but didn't light up the room at all.
The last few months we lived there (ironically about the time I started ghost hunting) I kept seeing shadow people. I would mostly see them peek around the kitchen door at me while I sat at the computer in the living room.
Not only did I see things at that house but so did my daughter and my son. My daughter saw on several occasions a man in fatigues and a young girl. She also heard footsteps all over the house all the time. My son was 2 or maybe just turned 3 when he had an experience. He and I were in my bedroom and he said out of nowhere 'That not ghost dog!' I thought I knew what he said but I asked him to repeat it anyway to make sure. He wouldn't say another word about it and just ran and hid under my covers. All he would ever say was that he saw a big dog in my room.
During the summer of 2006 I went with my sister-in-law and my oldest daughter to a local cemetery. At one point I asked, 'Could you please make your presence known in some way?" Just a few seconds later I felt someone tug at my ponytail. My sis and daughter were standing right in front of me. I didn't freak out either! I just said with excitement, 'How cool! Somebody just pulled my hair!' I asked for them to do it again but they never did.
