    Once upon a time, I was dating a boy named Chris. High school sweethearts type of thing, we were both pretty young. On the day that Chris and I were supposed to go get our drivers licenses, his uncle found him barricaded in his bedroom with a single shotgun wound to his head. Destroyed me. Compounded by the fact that Chris left me a note that his parents and mine decided was best not to give me. I still don’t know why. Now, I wasn’t necessarily always sober at the time but soon after his death I felt like I could feel him come to visit me and let me know he was ok. I was not afraid and it was always very comforting. A few nights after his funeral I woke to my alarm clock flashing. But instead of it flashing 12:00 12:00 12:00 like it would when we lost power, it was flashing 2:13. This number holds no significance to me but it weirded me out a little bit and I figured Chris was messing with me. Later in the week a group of my friends decide we are going to contact Chris via ouija board. I told only my best friend about the alarm clock and insisted that she not have her hands on the planchette when I tried to contact him. There were several others playing but no one knew about the alarm clock. So when we were certain that we had contacted chris, I asked him if he had been visiting me. The planchette scrolled over the number 213, 213, 213 until I took my hand off. Was it him? Was I subconsciously moving it? No one else could have known. It was oddly comforting and I don’t recall him visiting me much after that. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    I am so sorry for your loss , that is so sad.
    Did you ever find out what was written in his note to you?

    Never did.

    Wow! My condolences to your loss as well. I don't mean to take away from your story, but only to relate a little bit. My brother was like my second father, because of the age difference. So, it hit me really hard when he passed. One night I was crying for him, because things were going so freaking good for me, that I wish he was here to see it. I was on my laptop messaging friends on facebook, and all of the sudden the song for 3 doors down, "Here without you" started playing on it (which was a song that he liked a lot). I had no open windows and have not clicked on any media files with music or videos. I was freaking out.. closed everything out, still played. Looked to make sure that I didn't have any tabs opened, none to be found. Unplugged it, of course battery was charged, so that did nothing.. Only stopped when I shut down the computer completely. Yes, it could have been some kind of glitch that I didn't see, but for some reason, it still gave me a peace. Like I knew he was there watching me.

    Back in the 90's I was attending high school. My mother had purchased a home close to my school so I didn't need to take the bus.

    Grandma and I moved in with her and each of us had our own room. It was a long, single story, hacienda style home. Enough space for all of us, plus seven cats and three dogs, to comfortably live in.

    It was the newest built of all the houses in the area. Most were from the 1950's. It was built on an empty lot at the end of a dead end street.

    After many months, we had all settled in. At that time I was struggling with classes and my teen angst had me curious for an edgy lifestyle. Think voodoo masks, dark music, and skull decore. I would stay up late listening to Metallica, Type O Negative, or Cradle of filth while smoking cigarettes in my room (my family didn't know).

    One night I decided to blow out my candles early, after writing some very dark poetry, and called it a night. Crawling into bed I turned my lamp off and stared across the room into the darkness. After a while my eyes adjusted to the night. I could see the shape of my furniture. I tried rolling over...but that's when I felt it.

    It was a sudden sinking and urgent dread. Like I was being watched by something and my life was at risk. My eyes drifted over to the corner of my room where the door met the wall. An extremely tall and humanoid shape had outlined in that corner. It was as dark and solid as my dresser and it's head nearly touched the ceiling.

    It didn't move and my thoughts raced as to what the *kitten* I should do. It was blocking the door and my instinct told me to bolt but my body was stiff from shock. What if it attacks? I thought. I felt frozen in time and terror. I was so paralyzed with fear I didn't scream. There was no noise but only the racing heartbeat in my ears. It just stood there watching me. After a moment I threw my cover over my head and waited. Silence.

    I knew it was still there. I thought if I pretended to go to bed it would leave me alone. I laid there without moving the entire night. I must have fallen asleep around dawn because that morning was the absolute last time I ever slept in that room. I reported everything I saw and felt to my mother. She was very religious and agreed and let me sleep on the couch in her room. She too later admitted to seeing things in that home also. She didn't want to tell me as to not make me upset. We only stayed two years there and happily moved into a condo that was previously occupied by a catholic bishop. After that move I felt a lift from my shoulders. Looking back I do believe something was off about that house.

    I moved into a house I was told was haunted. (I had little choice in the matter, long story.) It was in a town labelled "The Most Haunted Town In America". I was told to talk to the "spirit" to avoid trouble. When I moved in, I spoke out loud as I was unpacking. Things like "It's a beautiful house, I won't mess it up...I'm only here for a short while...please don't scare my dog, she won't chew anything up...Please, don't ever show yourself to me..." stuff like that. I lived alone in this fully furnished, three story house built after the civil war. I heard footsteps constantly. I was watching TV at night in the living room, my dog asleep on the couch next to me. I heard footsteps come down the grand staircase and stop at the front door which was out of my view. My dog heard it too, got down and walked to the front door and looked. Then she came back and laid down. Another instance, she woke up from the couch, walked purposefully into the other room. Then I saw her ball come bouncing into view, her chasing after it shortly. Dog woke from a dead sleep to start playing...not normal for her. Another time I was using the half bathroom under the main staircase. I heard footsteps down the stairs, and the front door open and close. I was alone. Never saw anything though. Seemed to be a pretty cool ghost. lol

    You lost power and you woke up 2 hours and 13 minutes after it came back on.

    I have lots of ghost stories, but my favorite is the ghost who pushed me down the stairs. I was in a towel heading down to my bedroom...2 stairs. My brother and husband were in the bd. Suddenly at the top of the stair, I felt a hand on my back and I was pushed. Fell down the stairs and the towel fell off. Hilarity ensued. Later that night I dreamed that someone was speaking to me. The ghost. I asked why he pushed me. He said you aren't paying attention to me.

    I was driving home one night around midnight when I still lived at home with my mom about 22 years ago. I saw a kid around 8 years old chasing a basketball across the road. I slammed on breaks locking my tires up and sliding to a stop. After I stopped I couldn't see the kid anywhere. I even got out of my truck to look. My heart was beating really fast because I thought I almost hit this kid. I finally got myself together and drove the rest of the way home. I told my mom about it the next day and described the location. She said that's about the spot where a little boy got ran over about a year before.

    Also..
    I had a friend from Chicago that moved to a small town in Maine. His family met some friendly locals there and started trying to "blend in" Anyway, he said their family cat got killed accidentally. So a new friend advises them to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, but its personality changed for the worse. So then my friends brother dies tragically, and they decide to bury the boy's body in the same ground despite being warned. Anyway, he comes back to life!

    In my old home I woke up during the night to find a blue, glowing nun/ward sister, standing over me. Not the first unusual thing that's happened to me.

    My niece, who was staying over that night, confessed several days later, that she'd seen a blue woman at the end of the bed, that night. I'd not said a word about it before then. *shrug*

    We recently moved in with hubbies grandfather (family home). There have been a few nights ive been awoken by sounds.

    One night i got up because i thought i heard someone outside. Now ive had my car broken into so i figured if i turned on house lights it would scare them away. Well first it sounded like someone was at my front door messing with the screen door. No one. Then sounds from the basement. Thought the dog. Nope. Then the garage, but again nothing.

    There's been to occassions where both myself and my daughter have heard voices. The first time i thought my daughter was calling out for help, so i headed to her room in the basement (partialky finshed with livingroom, bedroom, bathroom). Wasnt her. She looked at me like i was crazy. A few days later she comes running up the stairs looking for my youngest, claiming she heard her cry our "daddy help me". Mind you my youngest was passed out in bed. The other voice i was waiting for hubby to come home to leave for a long weekend trip. He was running late from work. I swore i heard the garage door open & heard someone having a conversation, like they were on the phone (which he normally does). A few minutes go by, no hubby. No one in the garage. Hes still at work.

    My bestie and i have seen shadows in the house. At times i think someone is on our porch because the shadow goes by the window. Guess what. No one is there.

    Not so much a story but an experience.
    I woke up and fell back down to the bed as if I had been levitating that was the most freakiest thing ever and it happened over 7 years ago and I remember it vividly to this day. I am still trying to figure out what was going on? What was happening? Was I actually levitating a few feet above the bed?

    (recylcing from last year cuz i'm too lazy to retype the whole thing)
    Here's one of mine.
    sleep paralysis - I've experienced many of these over the years. Of course, the medicine men in my tribe would say otherwise, you know, superstitions/tribal beliefs, etc. I used to have these often when I lived on the reservation, so much so that some nights I did not want to fall asleep because I was fearful that this night visitor would once again appear. When I moved into the city, they disappeared and I was so relieved. I told no one I was moving but eventually, of course, word gets around. One night, after an argument with my then boyfriend, I went to sleep in a different room. I was angry with him and did not want to be near him. He went to sleep in our room. I slept in the spare room. I had drifted off when I felt the room grow cold, freezing. I heard that familiar creak on the stair, You know, when someone walks up from downstairs or goes down to the first level. I heard the door to our room open, the sound of the tv for a brief moment drifted through the open door, then the creak of the door being shut and the noise from the television set faded. I sleepily thought it was bf getting a midnight snack. Then, my door opened. I opened my eyes. The faint light from the hallway night light depicted a hooded, cloaked figure standing at the foot of my bed. I was instantly frozen. I could not move, could not speak, it felt like my jaw had become unhinged. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't for the life of me make a sound. I stared, horrified, the fear was ridiculously unreal. My heart would not stop pounding. He, this hooded figure, stood there, looking at me, not moving. Then, he raised his left arm, pushed the hood back off his head. I saw his silhouette against the light that drifted in from the hallway, short hair, slicked up on top to a short mohawk. Then, a voice..he said my name, twice and I felt his right hand grab my left foot. I freaked out. Then, was I finally able to scream out my boyfriend's name. He turned and disappeared. My bf came running into the room and I yelled that there was someone in the house. He ran downstairs, all the doors were locked, no sign of entry. He ran outside, saw a couple walking down the street, but nothing else.
    In past instances, I have seen this same figure - always either at the foot of my bed, kneeling next to me, and once as a black cat with red eyes that sat on my chest.
    My father, being superstitious and believing all of the traditions/customs of the native people, used to tell me that it was a witchcraft, someone dream-walking and wishing me harm. I haven't had any recently, thank god.
