After reading so many stories, I have decided to tell my own. I have had a lot of experiences that I can't explain. Let's start at the beginning. I was born on October 26 at around 10:55 pm. I feel that being born close to Halloween has something to do with it. All of my immediate family and most of my relatives have had some sort of experience with the supernatural.
There are a few that stick the most in my mind. When I was 6 or 7 my mother would lay next to me at night until I fell asleep. One morning I woke up and thought she was still there with me. When I turned on my side to get closer to her, I saw no one there. But I could still feel them. My grandmother had passed away when I was 3 years old and we were very close. I think to this day it was her.
More recently I worked at an Indian restaurant. I was left on my own most nights cleaning up the kitchen and finishing off dishes. I would talk on my phone for comfort as I often heard phantom music and a lady's high heals walking around, even though I was the only one in the building and did not have a radio on. One evening I was sitting polishing silverware and something made me look up above the buffet table. What I saw hanging there I will never forget. A man hung up by a rope around his neck swaying slightly. I looked at him for about 3 seconds. Then he disappeared. I had lots of experiences during the time I was working there.
Currently where I live I have seen things that were weird. We had World War One and Two guns in the house. One evening I was home alone just finishing putting decorations on my little Christmas tree that we put up in our room every year. I was about to go downstairs to get something from my kitchen and on the stairs I saw a man dressed in military uniform. He looked like he came out of a old war movie except he was in color. On his head was a metal helmet with blood oozing out of his left temple. He just smiled and then vanished. I was on the phone to my cousin within minuets afterwords.
One night about 2 years ago I was going up the stairs from my kitchen and passed a shadow on the stairs. The shadow was going down on my left which is impossible because my stairs are very narrow.
This is all that I will share for now. I hope that I can tell the rest of it soon. I have plenty of experiences in my life. A lot of them have scared me. To whomever reads this, I hope you enjoyed my story. (Part 1)
Your Birthday theory. Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with it because there are people who are born on Halloween and don't have the gift.
Suggestions. As Darkness mentioned, research. That's the best way to get some answers. There might have been someone who hung themselves in that Indian Restaurant.
Shellzy,
No Halloween? You Aussies are missing out!
