Ghost stories comments: Page 4

Lady-glow,

Usually what happens is that you do report to the police. Even if it is someone else's body, there will be interrogations upon the questions "How did you know there was a body here?" or "Do you have any hand in this case?".
It's definitely not normal to not let the authorities know that there was a body buried in a construction site. As far as letting the police know that the body should be properly with all rituals and then later on burn the body (Since Indians burn the body instead of burying it)

I do not know the case of why this wasn't informed to the police or given to higher authorities. Hopefully, the husband was found and got his well-deserved punishment.

I did speak. But they choosed to ignore this and thought this was just my hallucination.

Hi and welcome!

I kind of agree with lady-glow, this made me thought that if this was another unsolved case 🙄 I know, different but still...

Well at least the ending is kind of understandable and hopefully this kind of cases could be reduced as soon as possible.

Sending Love ❤
Ryujin

Rajine
What an experience!
Was the day hot? Because I am wondering if it maybe a heat-stroke for your high temp. And illness.
Wind and things maybe part of mother nature, but if you feel any other strange phenomenon maybe your can write it in more detailed form 😉 Or even start to your own story time to discuss with all other members? 😊

It is strange that only you saw this and the video cassette played differently after that, supernatural beings are known to tamper with electronic devices, did you speak to your family about it? And if so what did they have to say about it?

A tragic story but at least this earth bound spirit has finally managed to move on. Makes one wonder how many restless souls are out there needing help and wanting to move on but cannot.

First story I've read on this site... And I'm glad I chose this one first. Thank god for that old man.

No dear friend nothing untoward or wrong happened with me. I was also exactly fearing the same thing, but due to god's grace I was unharmed. I vowed never ever to touch that video cassette ever in life. People known to me have also viewed that video cassette when they visited our home but the most strange thing is that they never experienced anything wrong with that video cassette, only I saw that demonic face, that demonic voice with an evil smile on it's face and lips. I don't understand why it didn't took place with other people who watched that specific video cassette. Anyways I thanks god for saving me from any kind of harm. Waiting for your views on this strange event that took place with me.

Hi, Amchi. What Lady Glow asked. Did anything untoward happen to you or around you after you saw this most frightening movie?

See, after seeing what I saw on that video cassette, I decided not to ever touch it ever again.

Correction: "unless any paranormal activity developed in the house after this vision or if you have seen the demonic face again."

Welcome to YGS.

You might be a medium.

It's a shame that you have decided not to participate in the discussion but I'll ask in case any Indian member can shed some light on this part of your story.

Is it a normal practice in India not to report the authorities of the finding of human remains in a construction site?

Would the removal of the skeletons be legal without
Informing the police even if the intention was to give them a proper burial?

My outlook may be culturally biased, but I find it hard to understand the apparent disregard for the law in the way this double homicide was treated after the spirit revealed the cause of her and her daughter's deaths.
Hopefully the abusive husband's name was revealed too and he was punished for his crime.

I'm inclined to think that this event was a product of your imagination, unless any paranormal activity developed in the house after this vision or if you haven't seen the demonic face again.

Thank you again Tigerfeet. You have piqued my curiosity. It would be quite satisfying to know if their copy is the same as mine, or even a different edition. They might even know how many were printed. Quite a few I would imagine. I will try to get in touch with the library and let you know.

Hi Limey

The book is in the library collection at University of Kent, where I did my degree in history - as a mature student. They also hold the national collection of cartoons which is well worth a look. In their WWII collection they have things like the National Statistics which was a selection of 'ordinary' people, usually housewives and women working in the factories who were asked to write down things such as what was for dinner and if their rations were enough for a family - it does make for interesting reading!

Thank you Tigerfeet. I remember those bomb sites very well, and of course the bomb shelters, so many of which are still around. One more comment about the Air Raid Warden; the daytime bombing of London stopped early on in the war because the enemy losses were so high. So your sunny afternoon vision would indicate it was from that time. And may I ask which university you were at? I would like to contact the library to see if their book is the same as mine. (I try not to think of Dick van Dyke's attempt at a cockney accent. Too painful).

This incident happened to me when I was in my teens, at the time it was just myself and two of my other cousins, I remember our older cousin was preparing for her wedding and everyone else was gone to drop off invitations to various other family and friends, so it was just the 3 of us at home at the time, bored and without adults around generally does spell trouble 😂.

So we decided to go for a walk by the huge field behind the house, which also serves as an informal soccer field and then the river, I'm not sure why but we had this brilliant idea of stone skipping and to see who could throw the furthest in the river, this went on for a bit when out of nowhere there was this sudden gust of warm, dry wind that blew over me and everything went eerily silent, there wasn't even a sound from the birds and other forms of wildlife, not wanting to stay any longer and being creeped out ourselves, we decided to go back home, immediately after that I felt very sick and even had a high temperature and just went to sleep until everyone else came back, the strange part was I was fine and fit before and I was sick for roughly an hour or so and felt fine after that, even my high body temperature returned to normal, I still have no idea what happened that day and why I was sick for that short amount of time, but I often wonder...

Hi blosomes

I've read the add ups and I have to agree with the other commentors, I feel that child revealed himself to Bryan for help and to show him how he died.

Hi Rajine
I think about the family and the ARP Warden a lot, how happy the family were and how the Warden must feel because he couldn't save the family. I hope that he realises that he did as much as he could to try and save the family and himself. In my opinion he should have had some kind of posthumous acknowledgement, but at the time so many people gave up their lives and they were not all recognised for their sacrifices.

I really hope that the family and the Warden have been able to move on to a happier place, maybe to meet their families, born before and after them.

Hi Linjahaha

It was extremely upsetting and emotional to see. I think I was badly affected because of the age of the children - around 2 and 4 - and the fact that the family were so happy at that moment in time. Who knows, that could be why they are re-enacting this wonderfully happy time of their lives.

Hi Limey - This happened in around 1982, and I moved away from London shortly afterwards. I have, I'm afraid, no idea whether the house is still there, but there was a lot of modernisation going on in the area - in fact there were still a substantial number of bomb sites in the area that were slated for redevelopment. As this was with my ex-husband, I have no connections in the area anymore to ask.

I've seen a very precious copy of your ARP book when I was at university - you have to book an appointment with the librarian to see the book and it's only handled with white gloves on!

Hi accent was pure south-east London - working class but not quite cockney and definitely not a Dick van Dyke cockerney accent!

Hi Bergraff - It was a profoundly sad experience, made worse by witnessing it again.

Hi Lady-glow - the house had an unusual feeling, like a lot of bad things had happened there, and it was very 'loud' as well. It felt like lots of radios were off channel with only a few words getting through occasionally. I am also convinced that the ARP warden and the family were a residual haunting, maybe bought about by their sudden and violent deaths - but that is pure supposition by myself.

Rajine
Thank you!
Read the add-ups too, Bryan my friend had odd experience and very different point of views that always chills my spine.

Anyhow, back in Brazil, same thing. We are always warned not to hang out too long nearby the rivers, and every year there will be sad stories told by parents with little children...

Hey, I am kind of interested in your experience too, Rajine.

If only there was some way for those trapped souls to move on in peace, but after all this time I do hope they finally moved on, instead of being trapped and earth bound.

Also within our community, especially with the elders, we were always warned never to hang around long enough by river banks, but we as kids never paid much attention, your story reminds me of one incident that happened to me which prompted me to never go back to the river by my uncles house.

I was not expecting that ending😅 despite having many of my own paranormal/supernatural experiences over the years, reading other people's encounters still creeps me out.

For a while (4 and a half years to be exact) I lived with an uncle who's house was near a river, 2 to 3 minute walk, during my time staying there, there numerous deaths due to drowning, I can't begin to imagine how many more occurred before I went to live with him and after I moved out on my own, but I believe that due to the close proximity of the river and the deaths that happened there, was the cause of most if not all the supernatural experiences I had while living there, most of which I posted on here.

If it was the spirit of the landlady I wonder why she would push your mum down the stairs, but apart from this and the dream with the creepy smile the other incidents don't seem to be malevolent.

Thank you RCRuskin for jogging my memory! The film is 'High Spirits' - it's really worth watching 😁

Hey Imperfect,
Sorry but a lot of storyline here doesn't make sense in the comments, I can understand when paranormal activity doesn't make sense but your real life incidents like the police one are also not making sense and stop saying this happens in india, and which part of India are we talking about here, please tell me, if not the locality, just tell me the city's name.

Thanks for sharing.

tigerfeet: This was extremely fascinating to read about. I agree with lady-glow that this is a residual haunting. The traumatic, unexpected, emotional imprint left behind from that catastrophic event is being replayed when atmospheric conditions are right, or sensitive individuals are present to observe it.
It's very sad, but not frightening, or intimidating. That was an interesting explanation about an A.R.P. Warden. I was wondering about that when I read the title. Thank you, it was a very good read!

Take Care! 😊 😊

Hi Tigerfeet; a very interesting story. A long time ago, but have you checked to see if the house is still there? It would be interesting to know if subsequent or current tenants have had the same experience as yours. The clarity of your vision is quite remarkable, since you could identify the naval uniform in the garden below. Usually apparitions tend to be blurry or foggy. Hearing the warden's voice in such close proximity to you is interesting too. Did you notice his accent? Not important, but it may have been identifiable. How and why these replays from the past can occur are also fascinating questions, and ones that will probably not be answered anytime soon.
On a related subject, I have in my possession a smelly old book called Common Sense and A.R.P. It was published in London by His Majesty's Government in 1939, with the expectation of what to expect in the months and years ahead.

Tigerfeet, that sounds like a fun movie, so I went to look it up on IMDB. There is a movie called Haunted Honeymoon, but Peter O'Toole is apparently not in it. The plot summary from IMDB:

At the peak of their careers, the brilliant radio actors and Manhattan Mystery Theatre's superstars, Larry Abbot and Vickie Pearle, have finally decided to tie the knot. However, with their marriage just around the corner, inexplicably, Larry is starting to experience noticeable speech impairments and debilitating, on-air panic attacks. Now, under those strange circumstances, what better way to cure poor Larry's problem than by spending a long, lavish weekend on dear Aunt Kate's magnificent castle along with the entire family? The idea is to help overworked Larry relax; however, after an unaccountable disappearance and the blood-curdling sighting of something wicked, this brief vacation could be a cure worse than the disease. Can Larry survive the night and the haunted honeymoon? - Nick Riganas

Still looks interesting to me.

Here is a list of Peter O'Toole's movies https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000564/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Peter%2520O Maybe something will jump out at you since I so much want to see this movie you mentioned.:)

Some add-ups here too.

My Ainu friend told me that sometimes in the past the Ainu used to keep a bear outside of their houses called Kotan. There is a tradition called the Bear God Calling Performance, which is a dance they do giving the spirits of the bears that had past away a peaceful time... Explained as like a dance that will keep them rest in peace. Forgotten spirits sometimes will be left over that is why they will need to do it quite often... Since I live in a place where the Ainus used to live their life, it might be some of the forgotten spirits? Not sure but since some other spirits might be chanting outside of my house forever perhaps that might explain why the forgotten spirit was gone at once. Like lack of energy or some would rather say absorbed by bigger beings Will this solve my case? 🤔

And what part of India is this?
Perhaps some of your countrymen members of the forum can elaborate more about this serial killer and his victims, and the unorthodox way the police force seems to work there?

imperfect

"I belong from that part of India where we experience black magic and ghost from little, there are many more stories from my childhood that's don't make sense but it actually happened."

Sorry, that was not the point read again. 🙄

I have always assumed it was a residual haunting, especially as the ARP Warden seemed to have no idea that I was there and definitely never acknowledged my presence. I really hope that the family and the Warden have managed to pass over to wherever we go next.

I have often wondered if those involved in residual hauntings are aware of what happens each time we see them, if not aware of us. I think I might have got this idea into my head via Peter O'Toole's film, Haunted Honeymoon (I think that's the title) where he has a castle with what seems to be a residual haunting that happens at the same time every day and is always identical until the ghosts notice the living beings in their room!

May be leave because landlords already told them that we two ladies are in home... We don't know because after my mother denied to go downstairs nobody came up or force us. May be it's no make sense to you or anybody... But we live that moment. I am no writer so don't know how to puts word together. I just post that story or reply the comments to just share my experience. I belong from that part of India where we experience black magic and ghost from little, there are many more stories from my childhood that's don't make sense but it actually happened. Thank you for listening really appreciate

No way, it makes no sense.

As if the police moving all those resources, jeeps and 200 officers, ready to ride a house where a suspected serial killer might be hiding, would leave the place after alerting the suspect hence giving him time to flee.

I'm sorry to say it, but the plot of this story is getting harder to believe after each one of your comments. Just my opinion.

OK. But you better not delay sharing your second experience! An interesting and tragic experience that seems to be just a recording of a moment in time.

A bunch of police at late night is a topic for gossipes, although we changed house certain times in same society so the people of society know us from past 24 years. We are glad the society came gather to help us, so it was or it is a very big topic for them and us that a serial killer living with us and we didn't know... So some time people talk about it. Which kind of give this topic a update.
Thank u

i know all this because the head of that police communicate with my mother and me... When my father and uncle was our hometown at night 2am our landlady call us that some police officer wants to talk us... We were living in upper floor so when we checked from banclony there was jeeps and hundreds of police officer. My mother told landlady that"i am not going to talk to anybody this late"because they are too many.
Next morning only the head and a lady constable arrived for investigation that time they said because that serial killer took some broker help to rent that house, and lack of knowledge our landlord didn't do the verification. Later on the when they findout the broker he gave this address where he was used to live. The inspector throught we are the family of that person. They verified our identity document also.

Imperfect
Hmm? Why?
I mean... How do you know all those? 🤔
Still under case? But 150 were killed? I am starting to feel that something is iffy 🙄

"Even once 200 police officers come to raid by help of a tip because once a serial killer lived there and maintained that address. May be he did something?"

Did this raid happen during the time you were living in that house or when?

150 deaths?!? It is time to call Bajirao Singham to solve the case.

No, police still searching him. Things are still enclose like how he did it when?why?

All those deaths must have left a lot of trapped emotions in that place.

In my opinion, what you witnessed was a residual haunting. Hopefully the spirits have moved on to the next plane of existence.

Thanks for sharing this interesting story.

Wow, what an amazing experience, sad as it is.
"The Universe" showed you this scene for some reason, maybe the people who died used your eyes and mind to see it and get some kind of closure.

jessica2k67
Yes I totally agree with that.
See Add ups too.
Spooky for me for my friend it was kind of sad knowing that there is an accedent. 😢

I love this story so much! Could I use it on my ghost story podcast? Thank you!

Hi Blosomes,

Bryan seems to be an empath and can communicate with the spirits unconsciously but once he is out of the feeling of being paralyzed or as if 'heavy mud' consumed him he couldn't hear anything else around him. Usually, when this happens, empaths try to either communicate with the spirit or try bringing themselves out of their trance.
That boy must have realized that Bryan is different and tried communicating with him.

It's just an opinion as I get what Bryan feels when things like this happens.

Hi Lady-Glow!

Bryan is an empath in my opinion.

I had the permission from the keeper so don't be shocked, just a few years ago a child of a person from the government of Tokyo came over to that camping site.

They rented the site for a day and did river-fishing which was not permitted because of safety, the father started to go far off the river-side and his child followed but slipped over a flat rock and hit his head on the rock, he drowned and was carried down the river end.

Bryan may have been feeling the last moment of the child.

imperfect
150 cases!? That is a lot! Some of the cases that you experienced might have been brought in by him! Is there any news about the killer? 😨

yes, its seems like that. She was very lovable lady, I heared from people

nobody knows what he actually do... Police is searching him until date their is only 150 cases of murder on record... Police thinks their are many more numbers of case off records.

Hi.

It seems like the landlady considered the tenants like part of her family and enjoyed letting them know things that she knew ahead of time from the other side of the veil.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Roy.

I love blooming cherry trees!
It seems to me that Bryan is an empath and the 'felt' the boy's last moments. Sadly, it's not uncommon for people to drawn when rivers grow.

Thanks for sharing.

Add-ups
I kind of ended my story somewhat at the middle because there is lack of my experience, my friend said that as the child came close to him his body starts to become numb and as if he was under muddy water... Or watery mud? He could barely move, he said he could not hear the surrounding since it was like as if he was covered by heavy mud. I am not sure how to explain that but all I experienced there is seeing a child appearing and mysteriously disappearing in the river. But then I kind of realize that it sounded like a story told in youtube by random people who claims to have experience... And so I kind of just deleted this part. 😐

Hey everyone. I was on a vacay and it took me a day or two to get back. I apologize. Thank you for you
R interest. I haven't shared this experience before so having anyone interested is incredible to me.
I lived in the house for one year. I did find out a little history. There was one man who passed away.
I do have some more of the story. It got even more alarming for me.
I wanted to address one question about when I moved the mirror. I just took it off the wall the evening I closed on the house in order to place it back on the wall just in the different spot. I hung it back up and left it. It was the next morning when it came off the wall at me, still on the nail at the top. But, when I turned my head to look, that's when it fell back to the wall.

Imperfect

You said "a serial killer lived there", do you know what the killer really did? He may be a trigger for any spiritual activities, here in Japan they have a very good explanation call Nen, which translates into a thought or a person's feeling. Most spirits are believed to be the Nen of the person who already is dead but did not realize it. The character "Nen" itself have a self meaning "Present Heart" meaning the thoughts of presents, and by the spiritual meaning it represents the thought of that person when that person is still alive.
The serial killer may have brought something to the house, so some more research, what did the killer do? Did anything happened in the house? It is a true case? Is it on going, etc.

yes I do actually that's not first time I will share many more stories which was experience by me and my mother. Actually the place I am come from is popular for black magic and my mom thinks it is black magic... Some time even in a close room I experience many time that someone splash water (tiny amount)... Intially my parents didn't believe me but one day I was sat with them and suddenly water splash on my boody I show them the droplets then they believe me same think is happening with my maternal uncle (mother's brother).

Did you try talking to your family about this? If it was something evil, I don't think all it would do is just lay down next to you.

With stuff like that going on its a wonder anyone would stay there for more than a day. Have you ever spoken to the previous owners or researched the history of the place?

YES, I and my mother both experience it many time there was three room. From which one room u can't sleep alone or lights off. One night when my father and mother was out of station for two days, my friend come to stay with me she just woke up at late night and lay beside me and tightly hugged me and next morning she said I am sorry I don't feel good about that place I can't stay. Even once 200 police officers come to raid by help of a tip because once a serial killer lived there and maintained that address. May be he did something?

Welcome! I agree with Lady-glow that this is hard to consider if its a God or Satan himself. If you have been ill for such a long period, really hallucination is one good explanation for your experience.
But, if you said you have some other experiences I will need to ask if others experienced the same thing as you did? And is it on going? Do you know the background of the house? 🤔 It may not be high beings or any angels or demons, or anything spiritual when you know what is going on after all, calm down and try to do some research.

ok so I hate summer because I sweat a lot more than usual even after bath or laying under AC... So one of my bad habit is to on ac right after the bath which cause normally every year cold and cough... Even right now I am dealing with mild cold and cough but that time doctor also said that's normal viral and didn't gave any extra medicine... Just for fever but at that time my health keep detorting... By the way angel might fell heat but that store room was little bit upstairs and store room heated like hell because their is no shed on the roof of store room... And why she was shivering?... Although we left that house but that was not the one encounter we all feel. Their is something in that house

Welcome to YGS.

I have some questions about your story and will appreciate any extra information you may provide.

"Due to extreme heat, my health became very bad and I remember I remained ill for 22 days"

Could you be more specific about this illness? Was it heat stroke or heat exhaustion? Were you bedbound and medicated for those 22 days?

"you can see things while hallucinating but can not feel things."

Actually, there's a condition called tactile hallucinations in which, among others, a person may experience "Feelings of being touched or kissed" and this can be a side effect of some medications, as explained in the following link:

Https://www.choosingtherapy.com/tactile-hallucinations/

As for Angel, she might had been sheltering from the heat?

In my opinion, it's hard to say if you experienced a paranormal encounter, much less if it was God or Satan, or if your recovery was your own body reacting to the medications and rest.
I'm glad to know you recovered fully.

Thanks for sharing.

Neanderthunder: Please forgive me for posturing here. This sounds like some kind of ritualistic murder. It appears, to me anyhow, that she was calling attention to her unexpected grave as it were.
There have been some rather bizarre cult killings here in the U.S...
The hair 'tied' to a lock may give credence to this theory. It is just possible since you say you didn't feel enticed by her. She may be trying to 'call attention' to what happened to 'her'. Possible murder/life cut short/desiring justice/unfinished business.
You say the pond was drained out. Were any bones found? Anything besides the piece of hair? Maybe I've given you something to consider here. You want comments. I am contributing mine now, & I hope you don't mind the suppositions that I'm offering. Just something to think about. This was a pretty good read, thanks!

The Best! 😊 😊

MichelleS, This IS a mind-blower! Do you know 'anything' about the history of the house/land, or the object itself?
I hope you're not still enduring it. Please, let us know if you learn anything. Hoping you stay very safe. Very intriguing read!

Take Care! 😲 😲

Hi. Interesting story and I am having problems visualizing a detail:

"Next morning, I was sitting at the bar only three feet from this mirror to my left. I glanced and couldn't believe this heavy, hanging-on-a-nail, piece of metal was perpendicular to the floor floating in the air!"

But shortly after you saw this, you state, "it fell back to the wall, making the loudest bang! (Still hanging on the nail!) "

After you took the mirror down from the bar, it is my understanding that you took it off the nail, or whatever held it in place, so how is it now still on the nail in the wall?

Please help a skeptic understand. Thanks.

Even I think it was a case of a poltergeist (a ghost who troubles people intentionally and causes mischief just to have fun at people's expense). Anyways you people were indeed lucky that atleast your lives were saved because such an harmful ghost can even go to the extent of harming lives. Anyways according to me you should have checked the hotel's history before booking a room in it or even after landing there should have enquired with the hotel in charge about that room anyways you people were indeed lucky that the your life did not land up in a grave danger. Because I had seen in an episode on true ghost series on tv that a poltergeist troubled people who entered a hotel room and even went to the extent of killing out two out of four innocent people who had arrived in a hotel to enjoy their vacation after troubling them in almost the same manner as you people were troubled and tortured for no fault of your's.only a girl and boy survived the attack by the poltergeist. Anyways god was kind to you that you escaped from such an frightening experience.

Welcome to YGS.

Hi Michelle.

What an unnerving way to welcome you to your new place!

Do you know if anyone passed away in the house?
In my opinion, it seems
Like someone wasn't ready to share their place and earthy possessions with you.

How long did you live in that house?
Did the activity intensify over time?
Do you know if the new owner experienced any other disturbance aside from the flying cross?

It is hard to know who or what was causing the paranormal activity, perhaps it was the spirit of a person that, for some reason, hadn't moved on into the next plane of existence and was acting in the same way they did while alive. Let's hope they have moved on before hurting anyone.

Thanks for sharing.

Rajine,

How would the medium exactly help her in that? She's been very silent for the past few weeks and it's concerning.

Hello Linjahaha and Rajine,
Thanks for reading my story.
Yes, I did take that as a warning and left that toxicity behind and I totally agree Rajine, that coworkers have a huge role in messing up the experience for you, like my team leader.
Thanks for the comments 😊

Hey RCRuskin,
Thank you for reading my story.
Great that you could relate to the story being worked at call centres, and you are right about being stuck, It can be exhausting when you cannot comment or say anything when the customer is just being harsh to you or simply stupid.
And yes it was cold the entire time, I had to get my jacket and that's why I remember this.

RCRuskin
Well I was not thinking of anything just a little fussy because I was kind of in a rush to go out for some important tasks. I am not sure is that was the fact but my destination was a local temple where superstitious people would think that Baku, the dream eater monster (which looks kind of like an ant-eater) was worshipped...
I have no idea what or why the shadow was... It may be something spiritual or something which would control my dream... Maybe Baku had ate the bad dreams for me? I don't know.
Well, I am an open minded person so I do not mind any criticizing or comments or any questions... But the thing now is that I have no idea what really happened even after such a long periode (2weeks or so)

Blosomes, that is the thing. My first question would be "Where did you annoy this spirit?" Somewhere in Japan, somewhere outside of Japan? The spirit would likely be one known in the area where it happened, so how do the locals respond to it?

Shinto is quite different. Many long years ago, I was invited by a friend, a military chaplain, to join him in a program he had going to offer spiritual guidance online. We had to follow US Military Chaplaincy Guidelines and offer advice based on the other person's religious beliefs. Teach Jews as if I was a Jew, Moslems as if I was Moslem, Southern Baptist Christians as if I was... Well, I think you get the idea. As a result of this experience, I came to the conclusion we should teach religion in our schools. Not one religion specifically, but a course that is an overview of world religions since our religious beliefs inform not only our actions, but also how we interpret the things we see.

If we see just one tree in a forest swaying as if in a violent wind but the other trees are still? To some, that would be a ghost. To others, it might be a god/spirit/kami trying to get someone's attention. And another group might be looking for squirrels chasing each other through the branches. How do we know what the facts are? With more data, of course, and that seems to be my refrain. 😁

So, rereading through your experience, your friend said this shadow entity came out of you. (Assuming my rereading is accurate here.) What were you thinking about at the time? Perhaps lightly questioning the local beliefs? I know that some people have such fragile egos that if I even disagree with them in part, it is a personal attack.

RCRuskin
Maybe I am misunderstanding something... But I just wanted to make a point that Shintoism something totally different than we think.
But I agree it might be something about me but I am still in a maze of why and how I offended which spirit?

Rajine
Indeed, there IS some reason but I do not remember what... Still have no idea 🤔

The supernatural world is very complex and we don't fully understand it, but this shadow seems to be singling you out for some reason.

I think Ellie should consult a medium to find out what exactly is going on, and what are those experiences.

RCRuskin, so I found one entity in Bengali folklore that kind of sorta matches the description.

I'm just going to copy and paste from the Wikipedia article.

Sheekol Buri / Jol-Pishach: These entities are described as dwelling in rivers, ponds, and lakes. They have many different names throughout Bengal. They appear as young women with long wet hair and eyes with no irises, who had either committed suicide by drowning (due to an unhappy marriage) or violently drowned (especially after becoming pregnant with unwanted children). In folklore, they are known for luring young men into nearby bodies of water where they entangle them with their hair and drown them. Sometimes they seduce their targets, forming a romantic relationship in which case they ask for a promise. If the promise is broken, they reveal their true form and kill their target. These creatures are similar to the Rusalka from Slavic mythology.

It's not a one to one match, but the water part and the eyes with no iris or white iris kind of rhymes.

It honestly never occurred to me to check folklore, because Bengali folklore are largely children's stories.

I'm not that much of a scholar on Godzilla. My point, which was buried in rambling, is that some spirit seems to have been offended. But which spirit and where?

My bad; I misread. But good to know you did not feel enticed by it. Now to go look up Bengali folk religions.

RCRuskin, I'm no expert in Bengali folk religions. I don't know where to start looking with that. I've heard stories about female ghosts that entice men into drowning themselves. But I didn't feel "enticed" by it. Also the hair was tied to a lock (🔒), not a ribbon.

Rajine, hair is sometimes used to cast spells on someone. That's all I really know about that.

Rajine
Well I did not really see the shadow but it was kind of huge and I was not really sure if it was hairy 🤔
I wanted to ask more from my friend who has seen it came out of me but than it will be too much of her believes 🙄

RCRuskin
Very interesting... But Godzilla? I need to look that up.
Shintoism actually is very different depending on the era of the history. Modern Shintoism is very different from Shintoism during the 30's and the 40's... So I am not too sure. Also, Ainu Shintoism is also very different than the Shintoism of the Yamato (Mordern Japanese people) ones the history background is completely different but praying for peace and wealth and things like that did not change for both. Just the difference of Kami and Kamui, and just my personal thought, Ainu Shintoism might be a lot more ancient. 😲
I am not saying that the points of view from Godzilla is wrong, but that kind of make me think that it is just a story structure to make Godzilla much more supernatural and scary... Correct me if I am wrong.

I recently saw Godzilla Minus One, and it suddenly got me interested in the 'meaning' of Godzilla. And how Western cultures treat Godzilla differently than the Japanese do. Maybe something of what I learned applies? I'll let others judge.

To those who practice Shinto, Godzilla is a kami no keshinai: a Kami in flesh. The word kami might be translated as god, but that would not be exactly accurate. According to the writer/director of G - 1, his version of Godzilla is the incarnation of all those killed in war. Others consider Godzilla to be the incarnation of those killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

So, I don't know what you did. If you don't, how could we? But if you did upset some spirit, it might be a good idea to make such amends as you are able. Speaking with a priest might help.

Hi, Neanderthunder. And I go with what Rajine said. It certainly is an interesting situation. One certainly does not expect to see a female, or any gender, figure sitting on the water. The lock of hair tied with a ribbon brings to my mind some kind of folk religion perhaps. Someone trying to bless or curse someone. Do you know anything about the cultures that existed in Bangladesh in the past?

Spiritual, supernatural it's definitely an experience, but I wonder why whatever spirit it was would say that it'll make you pay for what you did...

That experience must have been unnerving to say the least, I wonder why though

Hi Rajine,

To Ellie, this was the first time she had ever experienced paranormal activities which caused her to be traumatized. I don't know if it's with the land, hotel, an object, or the family itself yet.
To me, this is the first time where I have experienced paranormal activities knowing it's not nothing but something and how dangerous it is.

That could be a resident or passing spirit, but the hair on ribbon raises a lot of questions, especially why it was in a pond.

Is this the first time something like this happened, or is/has it been happening for a very long time? But these experiences are baffling and creepy.

Ginger, I believe we ALL get SPECIAL signs to comfort us from our departed Loved ones. I can give you an excellent example. Myself.
I was married to the MOST WONDERFUL man for close to 33 years, & I lost him due to a catastrophic illness. I was in a pit of depression such as I've never known could exist before. John was always very fond of Sparrows. They were his favorite bird. He thought they were the cutest little birds. He enjoyed observing them often when he could.
About 3 months after his departing, I was out on the balcony of the apartment smoking. He was on my mind, of course. I missed him so very much, & was hoping for some kind of sign that he knew how I felt, & that he was alright. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a little sparrow hopped onto my balcony. It began fluttering it wings, & dancing around, & chirping for me. It was so cute. It, then, hopped over to me, & landed on the toe of my shoe, but it kept on singing, looking up [at] me, & fluttering for me. It, then, hopped off. It did some more dancing, & chirping for me, then it flew off of the balcony. The entire encounter was about 10 minutes long.
I felt an incredible sense of peace, & calm satisfaction. I knew it was my John letting me know he knew my feelings, & was alright now.
Call me crazy if you like, but I just 'knew' it was him. A couple months after that I had a spiritual visitation from him. I posted that account on this site. You may want to read it if you get the chance, but, like I said, I do believe that our departed loved ones find a way to let us know that they are always with us, & aware of what's going on with us. Only they are, now, in another dimension. A much better place. I, still, feel he's with me in times of uncertainty, & difficulty to encourage me to keep me going.
This was a lovely story you posted. I believe your grandmother did get a sign from her sister. I'm sure it gave her much comfort.
Again, a beautiful read, & thanks for posting it!

All the Best! ❤ ❤

ChaosGaming, sparkay may not know what tt is. Also given that nothing is on your profile to indicate where one might see it (example: this is my channel on YouTube: blah blah blah. Or See my stuff on TickTock: [at] ____) for all anyone knows your some spammy thing they'd rather not be involved with. After all the wise don't agree blindly.

Hey I'd like to repost your story on tt do you think you'd be ok with that?

Hi Twilight1011!

You surely made a possibility to consider about. It could be that is one of the reasons too for that place to have a spirit. Maybe it is connected to the land somehow? Maybe something (could be anything) is in that land and hotel which makes it stay there?

Thank you for taking your time and reading it! I appreciate it!

Rajine
Sorry, was on a trip. Hopefully I will be able to post a new story soon.

True that. Now, that I remember I was having strange dreams that I always jumped up and for gets what it was but I felt that my grandmother was in the dream was saying something about my father. Yes, I texted my father for that, alittle "Wow" now that I think about it, and I wish to remember what I dreamt about.

That's definitely interesting. As for any suggestions, I realize when it comes to trying to think of any possibilities, that may help shed some light on this situation, that some of us seem to forget (mainly meaning me) that a person doesn't exactly have to die, at the location they are haunting. I've also learned that if a person has an attachment to the place etc, then despite not dying there, they can still end up there in the afterlife. I guess like how some are able to be attached to specific item's etc, they may have been very attached too. I'm not saying that this is the case, but since I couldn't help but have that thought come to mind, I thought it was worth mentioning at least. I don't know how you would be able to find out, if that's possibly the case here though 🤔

Hi Linjahaha!

Thank you for your reply and thoughts. I never considered whether it was connected to the land or what existed there before the hotel was built, and that's a point to think about. After reading your reply, I tried to dig further, but found no records like that. Maybe it is not available to the general public? Maybe there was some serious tragedy that took place there because I can tell the spirit did not have good intentions and wasn't planning on leaving.

There are so many "maybes" and "what ifs" going through my mind and my friend's mind that we cannot decide what it was. Ellie is doing alright. Still paranoid and always on guard every single moment. Thanks for the warm hope for her.

Thank you 😊

Dear Jess, This IS a head-scratcher. If you didn't find some kind of background on the hotel itself, it's just possible that it's connected to the land. Who knows what was there before the hotel existed? Is it possible that there are graves that were never noted, or recorded? Or did a terrible tragedy occur there that, likewise, was possibly never noted, or even, covered up long ago?
It certainly is something to ponder about. I admit. This was a scary, albeit, highly interesting account you have here. I hope your friend is alright now!

All the Best! 😲 😊

Lost: Just a little addendum to my original comment about your account.
I'm willing to bet that after you told your team leader what you encountered, he 'may' have chided you, but, truth be told, you probably rattled his cage a bit. Seeing a man that you never met, & conversing with him nonetheless.
You probably left him more than a little shook. Just my 2 cents here!

The Very Best! 😁 😁
