Ghost stories comments: Page 6

blosomes: I enjoyed your account, but am fascinated with the responses that you've gotten.
I agree with lady-glow, & Val that there 'could' be a scientific explanation to what occurred. I, also, try to rationalize something before I 'accept' it as something paranormal. I, like you, don't 'want' any unexpected visitors, lol!
However, the explanations that you got 'do' make sense. I, also, have a winter coat for sub-zero temperatures. Would you believe that I feel a weight on my back when I bend over too? It's even felt so heavy that it gave me some back pain, & at my age "I" don't need 'that'.
I did enjoy the story, & 'you' had questions, & this site is for people trying to figure out what happened to them. The bulk of the people on this site are truly serious, & interested in discussing these subjects openly to try, & help each other understand what they've experienced. I've read some very intelligent, & sensible comments on this site. I'm glad if they helped you!

All the Best! 😆 😊

Roy, I'm happy to have been of help. And YES the atmosphere of a place can really mess with us!

Valkricry!
Well that make sense then 😲
Perhaps this experience that I have may not be super nature at all but just the place 😕
But I am glad because I don't want extra neighbors around me lol

Hello GVC8, well, I would say someone wanted to contact you or at least have some fun with you during those days. Someone who had gone a time ago and who knows under what circumstances.
I had seen what you described as a fluffy bright small blub, and also the flashes of bright ice bluish light over the tree and the neighbor's house and it was several months after my brother died. I suppose he wanted to give a sign to me that he was still there watching over me. I have also experienced a lot of extraordinary things and guess what, they are all somehow connected with light, street lights, electrical lights in my house, and lamps. I guess that our energy that continues beyond our physical world is the most similar to light unless it's not light itself. Just wanted to say you're not going nuts, there are a lot of people who have witnessed more or less the same occurrences...

Given the size of that hand, I doubt there would have been enough space to fit the mass of that entity in the room!

Perhaps your grandmother had a nightmare and the dog came to save her from such a bad dream.

Thanks for sharing.

Roy,
"The fog... I don't know how to explain, but it was not of the coldness, I mean I know it will steam up a bit during cold weather but not really fogging up like if I have just took the bombilla out of a fridge during a hot day... Or is that what you mean?" Yes, it is. Only compounded by the elements you were in. I imagine that straw as well as the cup were quite cold from the ride. Colder than the -5c, experienced when standing still, because of the windchill caused by being in motion (the wind rushing past you). Even inside a saddlebag, the cup and straw would have been well beyond freezing.

Valkricry
Maybe you have a point here... I was leaning at the side of the side-car side while resting... Yea, maybe it was my coat...

The fog... I don't know how to explain, but it was not of the coldness, I mean I know it will steam up a bit during cold weather but not really fogging up like if I have just took the bombilla out of a fridge during a hot day... Or is that what you mean?

Roy, a thought just popped into my head about the weight on your back...it's cold, I assume you were wearing a heavy coat?
And were you, perhaps, squatted down during the making/drinking of your maté? Were you near a campfire of some sort?
Bare with me here.
I have a heavy coat that's great for our subzero temps; the only problem I've noticed is that sometimes, especially if squatted down doing something, the weight of the coat will shift and it can feel as if something is on my back. This might be an explanation for you too.
As far as the fogging, if near heat, in the cold, it can produce a fog effect, as the cold surrounding air collides with the warmed air. Is it possible, that your bombilla (assuming one of the newer steel ones) as well as your cup, were cold enough from the ride, that between the hot water and fire heat, reflected this?

Hi! Thanks for commenting and sorry for my ver late reply 😐
She works in a dinning place and needed to taste test sometimes... Perhaps she did not get a chance to do any taste test during that night? 😆

Tweed!
Sorry for my really late reply...
Yes, I am Roy! I do not know happened but I think I deleted my old account... Should I post a story about that? Just joking 😁
Thanks for commenting! And hello again

Hello Valkricry!
Wow! That's a bull's eye 😳
Yes, it is URAL and they seemed to have this winter ride every year, for me this time is first and the last time perhaps... Frost bites are irritating and it hurts.

Yes, I did a more scientific research and perhaps the sound wave theory is right 😊 we constantly learn new stuff here really.

The weight on my back... Is perhaps... Tiredness? So far I am good and I don't hear any of the members during that day having odd events 🤔

blosomes,
Are you by chance talking of the URAL motorcycles?
For those who are Celsius impaired: -5c = 23F, that's darn chilly!
Lady-glow does have a point about sound waves. You can hear someone from 360 meters away (about 1,180 feet) and in the cold even farther. Then you have to take into consideration the terrain (mountainous it can echo around for quite the distance) and the atmosphere, it might even travel 10 miles! Or so I've been told.
But the weight on your back...hmmmmm

Wandering: This is a head-scratcher. I agree with Rajine. Possibly you, & the other passengers were to ones 'passing by' 'her' area.
Maybe something tragic happened to her who knows how long ago, & she is confused, & trapped in 'that' particular area. Thanks for the read. It's a good one!

Take Care! 😆 😊

Hello lady-glow!
Hmm... 🤔 Interesting fact...

Oh, yes I do remember the temperature,
It was -5℃, and yes, all these side-car owners are crazy enough to ride in the breeze! (I know, crazy... I swear I will not want to go anymore lol)

Hmm... If you say a cold spirit is coming around and wanted to share my drink... I am willing to give it some warmth... 😢

Hey Rajine!
What an observation 😳
Maybe that is why that place is known to be haunted.

Well, I did not feel any vibe... I think the spirits felt that following us will not do any benefits lol

As close as I am to Iowa (Missouri), I'd loved to had got them just so I could observe them. If by chance they show up again, I'll take them.

Hi Spooderman.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I really don't know what Muslims believe it happens to a persons soul and consciousness after death. In my own experience and within my own set of beliefs, I wouldn't discard the possibility of this flash being your aunt coming to say goodbye.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi blosomes.

A possible logical explanation for the whispering could be that sound waves travel longer distances in colder temperatures. Perhaps what you heard was a conversation taking place some where not too close to your location, hence making it difficult to make the words with clarity?

Do you know what the temperature was at that moment? Although I supposed it couldn't be below freezing if you were able to ride a bike.
And of course this wouldn't explain the weight on your back... So, maybe a cold spirit was trying to warm up drinking some of your mate.

Thanks for sharing this puzzling experience.

Hi Wandering24fox

It could be a passing spirit, or we're you and the bus gang the ones passing by...🤔... I'd say that you and the others were the ones passing by and you happened to come across the resident ghost of that specific area.

Have you spoken to anyone with you that day to confirm what you experienced? Someone is bound to know something.

I think you must have encountered, what is known as the shadow man, no one really knows what or who it is, and how it came to be, God knows I've encountered plenty in my life until date, but as long as it doesn't directly harm you I'd say it's harmless, unless provoked...

Hi blosomes

As the name suggests, I think the spirits in the "Chinese cemetery" probably want to go home, it's one thing to be stuck in a foreign country and without anyone familiar, but it's something else and I feel it's tragic to be a spirit trapped in a foreign country.

Did you get any sort of vibe or anything to suggest the spirits may be angry or possibly malevolent?

Roshhh: Maybe it's not so much the building, but the 'land' itself that has something there. Possibly it's 'been' there for centuries.
Are you aware of 'any' history regarding the actual 'area'?
This was very frightening, & I'm glad that you got out before something happened to either you, or your cute cat.
I lived in a 'very' haunted house with my late husband back in the '70's'. Therefore, I 'can' identify with the fear, & apprehension of living in such an environment. We ended up fleeing, also. We must've left a vapor trail behind us, we drove out of there sooooo fast. We never went back either.
We met with a brick wall when we 'tried' to learn the history of the house, but it was all to no avail. It took us about a year to calm down, & adjust to relative normalcy. Believe me.
It took me over 40 years to settle down enough to even 'write' about it. To this day, I won't go near that place.
I'm glad that you're in a nice apartment now. However, events like this tend to stay with you, but 'that is' what 'this' particular site is for. It's for people like us to talk about the experiences, & share our thoughts, & even help each other with advice, if we can.
I'm just letting you know that I 'can' identify with you, & this was a fascinating account!

The Very Best
To You!

😊 😊

Hello Rudradity,

Indeed that was a scary incedent tht left me horrified.

Btw I read your story too... Tht must be horrifying.

It's perfectly fine to be skeptical, but I believe that if people who have psychic or supernatural abilities, they will be able to tell you stuff without you having to say anything.

Sounds like a really tragic and strange story, maybe that girl and her family decided to move far away from the gossiping and ignoring and disdain from the society around them.

8-bit, Very interesting story here. I work in a senior health care facility, & years before that, I worked in several hospitals.
I have, myself, had experiences in hospitals/nursing homes. Therefore, it's entirely possible that you 'did' experience something.
As far as what happened in your house 'that' is open for debate here.
You may, in fact, have untapped psychic abilities. I am slightly psychic, also. People like us tend to be a beacon to earthbound spirits that 'want' to communicate a message, or, simply just tell their story to an understanding person. In other words. They may have something bothering them that 'they' want to get out of their system before they move on.
I'm just giving you some food for thought. I have no clear-cut answers as nobody does on this site. I, still hope this was helpful to you even in a small way!

All the Best! 😁 😁

Hey Roshi, hope you're doing well!
Encountering such incidents in a group is so scary let alone you facing it all by yourself.
As you rightly said in your previous comment that the building may have been built on the spirit's home which is why such incidents were happening but I'm glad you got out of the house.
Take care.:)

Rajine

I wish I knew someone like that, but most of the people I know are full on skeptics.

Part of me wants to visit a psychic. I know of two of them in my area, but even I'm a bit skeptical of that.

Hi. Thanks for the fascinating narrative.

I'm just curious about the time the young lady is seen. Is it in the morning or at night?

Thanks.

My heart broke after reading the whole story. How bad the snake god must have felt leaving your house. I think it had developed a special bond with you guys.

A very sad story.

I tried to take a photo but Amit refused. Said that this is not the right time, we will take it later.

Since this incident happened between the late 90s and early 2000s, it is difficult to say anything about the news and articles related to this incident. But Amit is very interested and therefore he's already busy doing this work; I'm doing whatever is possible to do by me.

The lady said that 5-6 people had disappeared in total. She's not sure. I don't blame her and also can't force her for two reasons: First, there is no one to ask about that family and second, after so many years, it is not possible to remember the correct numbers and facts.

But we shall try to find out as much as possible.

It seems like you wrote this story shortly after visiting that haunted location but, did you do a proper research to corroborate if the information provided by the woman is true?

I imagine the disappearance of several members of the same family would have made it to the official news and there must be some sort of 'paper trail' about these missing persons.
How many people went missing?
When did this happen?
Did the whole family disappear or did the surviving members abandon the house?
Did you take any pictures of the mango tree?
Have you come across any videos of the place in social media?

I agree, it will be interesting to go there again in the future, though, in my opinion, before that it would be useful to research the facts and see if they are true or how much truth it's in them.

I'm sure Bajirao Sinham would have no problem solving this mystery.

Hi 8-bitDemigod

Maybe you can try talking to someone who has knowledge of the supernatural, that's if you know anyone like that.

Hi Rajine...

That building was newly built (3-4 years ago) and no such incident like death or suicide have been reported there.

It was definitely something else (malevolent) like you said.

As I mentioned in my previous comment... A priest told me that the "area" was his home and I was affected the most because he was attracted towards me.

And no, he didn't follow me... Now I am in a new apartment and everything is peaceful here (till now)

Thank you for commenting CrimsonTopaz!
Sorry for the confusion... Hope my correction will help 😐

Sorry, it seems that my comment had made everyone confused here... Let me correct please...

I have not spoken to anyone else since my friend's uncle's death was so sudden and everyone was not in "the mood to communicate" 😕
Well, I was going to ask my friends's aunt about it but... You know timing

This is what I wanted to type... Really sorry 😕

Rajine

Something tells me it won't be a game of patty cake.

I don't know if it followed me from work. Wish I knew a way to find out.

It's hard to imagine what would have happened if you did follow that hand, do you think whatever it was could have followed you from work?

I wonder if it was a spirit of someone who once lived, or something else, more malevolent in nature, I'm inclined to think that way going by your story, but nonetheless it's good that you left that place and whatever it was didn't follow you.

Hello lady-glow.
Thanks for your concern!

Those boys were students and used to sleep early everyday so they didn't encounter anything like shadow but they did heard wierd sounds from outside like someone is whimpering, and knocks on the door, windows was usual for them... But they weren't tht afraid because they were in a group.

I don't know the reason behind why I was affected the most but the day it all started from the parking lot, I was on my periods and was applying ittar.

I consulted one of a family priest regarding this and he said that "thing" was attracted towards me and also that area was his home so I better vacant that place.

CantunSEEit74

The hand was a small woman's hand and it seemed like it was moving playfully more than anything. Almost like it was dancing. We don't have a crawl space.

Welcome to YGS.

I'm glad you left that place before the activity worsen. That spirit sounds like something nasty.

I wonder if the rest of the tenants got to see this shadow too, or if the entity was more aggressive towards you only for being a woman. Though, based on your narrative, it seems like the first floor was the more affected by this presence.

Thanks for sharing.

8-bit did you ever feel something might have been trying to say I am here please help me. Under this table is it the crawl space under the home. Was it a large male hand. Something happening outside also, maybe a friend in spirit trying to help the hand. Paranormal hunters are free if you have no equipment. I would be under that dining area looking around.
Did you live in the same house when candy bar fell. Maybe hand knew you were hungry and could speaker noise be related to hand. Very interesting and thanks for sharing.

Blosomes, I'm with Lovely Lady G. You mentioned asking your Aunt and said since your uncle's death. It gets tricky trying understand who's who. All that aside, it's pretty much time to face the veil and know it can't hurt you.

KATS, You must be so afraid, you poor thing.
I'm not saying it is, but it sounds a bit like sleep paralysis.
Different cases, different types of sleep paralysis. Here's a link that will help you understand about sleep paralysis and hopefully help you rise above all this
Https://www.sleepcycle.com/sleep-paralysis/understanding-sleep-paralysis/#:~:text=Other%20people%20may%20experience%20an,can%20occur%20during%20sleep%20paralysis.

Were you awake when you felt like your soul was being "taken"? And do you know where it was taken to? I don't understand how that happened especially if you were awake anyway... Whatever that was, I wonder what it wanted you to give.

D.D.: You do say the same thing all around the circle of the person lying on the floor.
How did it feel? Strange, is the only word I can use. She lifted effortlessly, but "I" didn't feel 'anything' static going on.
She, quite literally, floated beyond our fingers to the ceiling. I 'think that' is what truly freaked us out.
I'm just glad that she didn't get hurt when she fell from that height. I hope this answers some of your questions!

Take care! 😊 😊

Hey there. I just wanted to say that I'm a Bangladeshi kid as well. So I would highly recommend reciting surah Baqarah in the house. Just try it for at least a day. InshaAllah whatever was whispering, good or bad will stop its activities.

Welcome to YGS. The monster/ghost under the bed got cold too, I suppose.

I'm just wondering, since I do not see this addressed in your experience, how do you know it was not your dad? Was he ought of town, perhaps.

Hi Tweet!
Thanks for that, I was going to remain myself, so it's ok 😊
I love to read all kinds of comments, except those meaningless ones seen in other people's story, I am glad it had not happen to me yet 🙄

Lady Glow your poor grandmother. 😢
What a bitter sweet experience she had. It seems like she allowed it to help her with loss in the future. I'm so sorry she had to experience any of that at all.

Hi Roy,

Sorry you're having a bad time, and it's ok to be emotional. I had a similar experience to yours when my cat passed away. I don't know if it's related or what it would mean, but it's interesting that it happened all the same. Anyway don't feel bad for feeling strong emotions, nothing wrong with that.

Linjahaha your story resonates with me because I also work in the healthcare field. When I was a freah grad nurse, I was working in a nursing home and I too have some good experiences with the residents. This resident always love it when I work because I tend to be more empathic and genuinely care for this resident. She was very sick though with cancer so she also passed away on my off day. It makes me wonder on how similar your experience is mine. It's like they waited for us to be on our off days before they moved on to next life, probably because they wouldn't want us to be sad on that very moment? Anyway I love your story. I always like stories from hospitals or nursing homes. God bless.

😕 hmm...
I see a confused fool here... I don't even want to greet that fool with a name...
Lady Glow, you do not have to put any effort dealing with that. Believe in the Mods.
This story is well written and should be read by more people. There maybe negative comments but those are not worth taking care of, they just need some good research and a heart to respect others.

talib - exactly which site rules do you believe this story to be breaking? And why do you believe so?

talib.

"instead of answering my doubts about your story you conveniently ignored them and criticized my (YOUR?!?!? Ha, ha, ha!) comments"

IF you want to be taken seriously, start by acting serious... You didn't just "used a part of comments of CantunSEEit74", you plagiarized the whole thing without making the proper changes, but as a token for the much you made me laugh with 'YOUR' comment I'm going to help you with the math, out of my 16 stories, 12 are my own experiences and 4 have happened to a close family member, as opposed to the poster you're talking about: 17 stories, 6 his and 11 from someone else.

"seems you got quiet flustered tasting your own medicine of nitpicking on stories from India."

Nah...if anything, I almost spat out my milk and took me a long time to control my laughter...thanks, you made my day!

And since you seem to be so interested on finding holes in my story, here are some facts about it's background.

My Grandmother was borne in 1904, I'm not sure of the exact date when she got married, but she was in her early 20's, then my little aunt was born some time before the "Cristero War" broke in 1926.

Https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerra_Cristera

The family was living in Mexico City but, since it wasn't a safe place, my grandmother and the baby went to live to a small community in the Hidalgo state whilst my grandfather stayed behind due to his job.

Https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/portales/constituciones_hispanoamericanas/imagenes_mapas/imagen/imagenes_mapas_06-mexico_mapa_de_los_estados/

The war lasted from 1926 to 1929, and some time after things were back, or close, to normal, my grandmother and her daughter went back to Mexico City to join my grandfather. The times were tough and the little girl got sick and passed away around 1930.

As you can see or, should I say, if you want to see, the time frame makes sense and explains why the girl was an only child for such 'a long time'.

If you have any more questions don't be shy and ask... I don't promise to answer right away because it's time for me to sleep and will be busy tomorrow.

[at] lady-glow instead of answering my doubts about your story you conveniently ignored them and criticized my comments, ad hominem fallacy (google it for more information), seems you got quiet flustered tasting your own medicine of nitpicking on stories from India.

I only used a part of comments of CantunSEEit74 as it perfectly fits your post, my comments is not breaking any rules, don't know why mods have removed it.
On the other hand your story is breaking YouGhostStories site rules and should be removed, are the mods reading?

I deleted Talib's comment. Lady-glow, personally I don't find fault with either yours or Cant's comment, and am letting them stand. To quote from the Comments Guidelines, "... To keep a certain level of maturity and civility on this site, moderators may delete comments that are deemed too juvenile, inappropriate or troublesome, to their discretion." Neither of yours fall under any of those. Talib's comment on the other hand not only hit all three reasons but underscored them... To attempt to plagiarize another poster's comment to criticize a story - is beyond childish. To do so just to try and cause trouble is both inappropriate and troublesome. I'm so sorry you had to bear his idiotic attempt at maligning you, lady-glow.

It seems Talib was more interested in leaving a negative comment instead of reading and understanding the last paragraph of a well written story. Thanks for sharing Lady-glow. Dick move Talib.

Hi Talib.

Wow! Do you really need to plagiarize other poster's comments to criticise my story... You should have, at least, made an effort and fix the math.

"CantunSEEit74____+2___4 weeks ago

On the first page of this site, it states share your ghost story. YOUR GHOST STORY, YGS. YOUR! Not everyone else's stories. There are many Immediate family stories here that are shared but do you really feel anybody should have over 10 stories that they were not present at or did not witness themselves. That person should join this site and participate in the discussions and share their stories."

You are funny... In a not exactly fun way. LOL

Mods, please delete if inappropriate.

They are, Lady Glow. Beef stew is probably the best dish in history. My opinion anyway.

But this story is very touching.

I am glad I am reading this at my home alone... I can't stop crying... 😭

Lady-glow
Oh, I did not realize that...
Sorry for the confusion... I meant there my friend's uncle...

You know, sometime not only people bonded with blood worth to cry for... May be I am just a very emotional person... I even cried during a street cleaner (city cops?) 's open funeral in Brazil few years ago...
Maybe too local? There were a street gang gun fight and the "street cleaner" got shot... I wonder why that had not been a big news like any other gun shot, gun kill cases... It was really sad...

Hi guys.

Thanks for reading my story and for commenting on it.

RCRuskin: once cooked, onions are yummy.

Spooderman: except for one, all of my grandmother's children are in heaven now. No pun intended.

Rajine: thanks for reading.

Hi Roy.

I wonder what's the outlook these people have about mourning and grieving at funerals, specially for men and/or people not related to the deceased person.

I got confused about your relationship to this man, first you say:

"My friend's uncle passed away"
"my friend's uncle was like a middle person"

But in your comment is "my uncle's death was so sudden"

So, was he your uncle or your friend's uncle?

Regardless of the answer, this is a puzzling experience.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Rajine!
I have not spoken to anyone else since my uncle's death was so sudden and everyone was not in "the mood to communicate" 😕
Well, I was going to ask my aunt about it but... You know timing

It's generally believed that when we lose a loved one, we mourn and we try to come to terms with it, and that living in sorrow and grief prevents the soul from moving on to where it needs to go, or in some instances, something else, malevolent, mimics or pretends to be the departed soul, preying on the grief of the ones who cannot let go.

Hi blosomes

I'm not sure about the tradition of your grandmother's tribe, but I do know certain cultures do put a shroud over the deceased face or even cover the whole body in a white funeral shroud, but perhaps this particular incident has another meaning.

You asked your sister about it, did she give you a answer? And have you spoken to anyone else about it as well?

Hi Alexandra

Losing a loved one is tragic, no matter how much time passes by there's always going to be void, an emptiness that cannot be filled. But I think that, even though you cannot see and speak to them, they're still around watching over you and your son.

I think I have cut up too many onions for the beef stew tonight.

Or maybe it is this story.

Alexandra: I assure I was wide awake when the incident happened. I don't expect you to believe it as I know it sounds incredible. However, I know what I experienced, & I got great assurance, & comfort from it.
You're right about wanting them to move on the better place, & not being stuck here. I know "I" wanted my husband to stay, but that would be selfish of me. He deserves to be in a 'better' place. I take comfort in the knowledge that I will join him someday. 'That' awaits us all. However, I feel it is actually a continuation of life in a different realm!

My Very Best to You! 😊 😊

Thank you Lady-Flow!
I ran into this site accidentally. And I love reading all kinds of wonderful stories here. I take every free moment to read them, especially before I go to bed, and yours are the next ones I'm going to read.:)
I always knew physical death was just a rebirth, but I am curious to know why some people leave us so early. I hope everything happens for a reason, still unknown to us. <3

Linjahaha thank you for trying to console me and sharing your experience with me!
I watched about those cases when people talked with souls via mediums or were sent messages from another world via them, but I never truly believed in that kind of thing.
The story you told is believable somehow but I can't even imagine how that is possible since the only signs I got were related to the lights, some sounds, or unusual events.
My brother visited me in my dreams, we talked and he told me nothing hurts him anymore, he's alright but beyond this, nothing else happened.
I can't possibly think of your experience without wondering if you maybe have an extraordinary sense, maybe you're gifted or you were in a state of trance when all that happened. Is your memory of that event blurred or clear? Was it happening in our physical world or it all played out inside your consciousness without visible effects in ''our'' world?

As for my mom, she started reading books related to those experiences like yours, and the first book she read was ''Life After Life'' by Michael Newton. I know he is very famous in your country for his work on this topic. Anyway, here we have some people who graduated from the Michael Newton Institute and opened their clinics here. They are regression therapists and my mom scheduled an appointment already. She strongly believes that her son and she are connected in a strange kind of way and she thinks they were together in past lives too, so she thinks there is a certain kind of relationship between the two of them and hopes she can discover their karma, at least, some tiny indications of it. She feels a bit relieved right now, but the moments of grief and disbelief are always coming back to us. It is only 6 months now that my brother's gone. I suppose that a lot more time needs to pass so we can accept the fact he is no longer with us. Her balcony light went on all by itself last night, and she started talking with the flickering light on the balcony. Whenever it starts blinking she starts talking with Aljosa. We read their souls can affect the electricity in a certain kind of way and cause the light bulbs to start flickering. Anyway, wherever my dad and Aljosa are now, I would like them to do their things, and continue their journey, I wouldn't like them to stay captured here and look after us. That would be too selfish. I hope they will keep their way and that we'll see each other again. Maybe the length of our life is just a blink of an eye for them since they say time doesn't exist from their point of view.:)

Rajine,

A little correction here...

In India too we avoid carrying meat-related food items at night, and if it's necessary then we try Not to go to abandoned places or deserted roads. If still got no choice, then many of us put chilies just as you said or try different things according to different beliefs.

Hello CrimsonTopaz,

Nice to know that you enjoyed reading the experience. Thank you. One thing I'm pretty sure about is it wasn't any human intruder. AND I don't have any interest in going there and seeing by myself which entity could have been there that night. Honestly, after that incident, I don't dare to even think about going there.

I'm sorry.

I know it's been a long time but I'm really sorry for your grandma's loss. I'm sure that all the children are in heaven now. So they truly are in a better place. ❤️

Hello Rajine,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, In India too we avoid carrying meat-related food items at night, and if it's necessary then we try to go to abandoned places or deserted roads.

The reason Amit asked us to keep our cigarettes with us is exactly the same as you stated.

(I do wonder how the food delivery guys handle these things. 🤔)

Hello, Spooderman (haha, I loved the name),

I don't know what that entity was... Just an angry spirit or a djinn. What I agree with you is Deep shouldn't have thrown the chicken piece in that direction and also shouldn't have abused, cursed it. The way our friends fainted and had panic attacks was very spooky.

Well, on the other hand, it is a lesson too to how not to make an entity angry.

Bienvenida a YGS.

Hi Alexandra.

What an interesting set of experiences!
I agree with the previous posters' opinions regarding all of these events like signs of your loved ones still sticking around. It's so comforting to know that physical death is not the end of love.

Thanks for sharing.

Alexandra, I meant to express to you how 'very sorry' I am for your loss. I fully understand.
As for your mother, her grief 'could' be what is preventing her from receiving any messages from him. It's just possible.
After I lost my darling husband, I was grieving so severely. I never knew the human body could hold so much water as all the tears I cried. I talked often to my sister-in-law, Beth. She was the last remaining immediate member of her family. John 'visited' her a little over a month before he came to me. She told me about it. He wanted to make some things right between them that happened before he passed on. I was a bit jealous because I thought he should've come to 'me' first. However, Beth explained that my extreme grieving was putting up a wall of sorts that he couldn't penetrate. She told me that she was exhausted, & totally relaxed the night he came to her. She believed that in 'that' state-being completely void of thoughts/relaxed, that he 'could' appear to her then.
I was so conflicted, & saddened about it all. It took 3 more months. I went to bed one night, absolutely exhausted, & not able to even 'think' anymore. I was still 'awake' however, when John came through. He put his arm around me in bed-I jumped up-he got up-we embraced-kissed-I held him in my arms again. Incredible feeling. He turned the light on, & we sat on the edge of the bed, & talked for about 4, or 5 minutes. He told me I would be alright, & that he loved me. He said he had to leave. I didn't want him to go, but he said he was alright now, & "I" will be alright. Then he disappeared. I sat on the edge of the bed in a lighted room by myself staring [at] the spot he sat in. I cried, but they were tears of joy. I felt so peaceful, & very comforted after that.
Give your dear mom time to calm down. She may get a sign from him yet, or enjoy the kind of spiritual visitation that I did. It was a truly wonderful encounter, I assure you!

The Very, Very Best
To You! ❤ ❤

[at] Rajine Yes, they were so close, my brother loved my son too much, and that is the most devastating thing I had to face, the fact he won't be present in my son's growing up.

[at] Linjahaha Thank you, I believe they are, especially if they could see the state of us, they are maybe trying to get to us and convince us they're ok. My mom is taking all this very hard, but the things that happened to me never happened to her, maybe they can't reach her because of the extreme pain she is going through... Thank you, I strongly believe in your words!

[at] Tweed Thank you! I believe they can do some weird things too! It happened to my husband that the little toy water gun he was playing with while being out with my son, flew off the top of the nearby wall where he rested it. And, it didn't only fall but flew through the air some meters away, like it was thrown. And, that happened right on my birthday... I like to think the little heart my son picked was the first and my favorite sign my brother gave to us... As for the light, I didn't have time to analyze it. It all happened too fast, I just remember the flashes were so quick and powerful and it wasn't like our normal house light. It was so natural, nothing artificial, and it was so white. Like I said, just like the light of lightning. 😊

[at] RCRuskin Thank you... I don't think you're just rambling! I used to watch different videos too, and the one that proponents of the theory of quantum physics offer I didn't find so appealing, since I'm scared a bit of the fact that everything has been already predestined, even though, in depth of my being, I believe we have no power to change anything at least inside this body and mind.:) Everything is a perfect sequence of causes and effects and we can't change our being or brain to be able to change our reactions, this is something we were born with. Maybe when we reach those heights of our souls, then we will be able to change this ''reality''. I also watched different sorts of videos (inspired by true events), and I came upon the notion our souls need those particular experiences on Earth, so they choose the future life and the body in which to incarnate... Another fact in favor of the claim that nothing is accidental...

May your brother's Memory be Eternal.

I mean, the toy heart could just be coincidence, but I was watching this science oriented video channel on YouTube recently and the topic was interesting. At least to me.

So we know the mathematics of particle motions and interactions. Quantum Mechanics introduces some uncertainty, but let us for the moment assume we have perfect knowledge of all particles, even those weird quantum ones. Knowing all this, we could do the math though it would take quite a lot of computing power, and know every possible future and past state of the whole universe.

So, at that moment in that amusement park, your disappointed son just grabbed one stuffed heart, and it happened to be that one. Coincidence? Fate? The inevitable result of all these particle interactions? Maybe I'm just rambling feverishly?:)

I think the important thing, if you made it this far, is that it did happen, and I don't think it was quite so random.

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I agree the souls of our loved ones can make themselves known in all sorts of interesting ways. There have been a few encounters of alarms being changed on here. It seems to be a way some loved ones like to show they're still around. From what you've said in your narrative it sounds like your brother likes to show he's around.

The word 'coincidence' can really get in the way of something beautiful sometimes. Sure I believe in coincidences but when it comes to something like what happened at the fishing game, well hmm. Sounds like something a lot more than just a coincidence.😉

I was very interested in the light flashes you described as I have encountered similar. A flash of light on the side of a house or tree I can relate to. Like an entire object will light up momentarily and then everything returns to normal. It's interesting that the light never illuminates any other surrounding objects like one would expect. I'm happy to read someone else has encountered this too.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Pelatiah: She looked quite normal. Like she was really sitting on the couch. Except, like I mentioned, she looked so 'robust, & healthy' again. In other words, she looked like she was completely healthy, & functional. Like when I first met her. She was very able to get around on her own when we first met. Watching her decline over the years was hard. Not unlike when I was watching my darling husband, or more recently, Father, decline over the last 2-3 years. That's so very hard to see it happening. I guess my feelings run very deep. That's why I'm so easily affected. One might call me too sensitive. So be it. That's just how "I" am. It could be that part of me that makes very adept [at] the kind of work I do.
In the medical field they caution you not to get too involved with your patients on an emotional level. However, I feel if your a human being, you can't avoid having feelings for them. I'm not Einstein, but 'that's' how I feel about it.
Thank you, very much for you thoughtful comments!

Take care! 😊 😊

Alexandra: I believe that your departed loved ones 'are' trying to communicate with you. Trying to let you know in somewhat subtle ways that they are aware of your missing them.
They are letting you know they are 'still' with you, but on a much higher plane now.
I've had spiritual visitations (that is what I call them) from my late husband, & grandmother. They startled me at first, but once I realized what was happening, it gave me peace, & comfort.
I hope you feel that kind of comfort yourself, & know they 'are' still 'with' you in another form!

Very Good Read! ❤ ❤

I think that it's just your brother's and dad's way of saying that they're still around, by giving you those little signs, from what I gather your son was very close to your brother.

Kksharp,
I have a lot of dead family members. At 63, I've lost both parents, a step dad, grandparents and a husband. (I'm a woman, haha, just chose an ancestor's name for here).

When I was very young and lost my dad in Vietnam, I was fortunate to see what I can only describe as my angel. I know this as sure as I know my name, but didn't realize it until decades after the fact. One of the bits of knowledge that I feel he/she? Imparted to me is that we have to live our lives to the fullest when people we love have their own lives cut short. Those left behind should HONOR THEM and their lives by getting the very, very most out of our own, because they are living through us (in some way).

My son in law's brother took his life as a teenager and the tragedy was so great, it has haunted that family, destroyed it really. But when I first met my son in law and asked him about siblings, and he answered that he is an only child, my first reaction was, "You don't SEEM like an only child." Apparently he was stunned that I somehow knew. Ten years later, we often have the conversation that he is living his (VERY ADVENTUROUS) life to its fullest and I believe his brother is with him for it all! Anyway, please don't despair. Your father must've worked hard at his job and he would want you to live as well as you can, continue his legacy and even improve on it. Life can be tough, but you are meant for good, even great things one day because your experiences have made you all the stronger. Bless you and thanks for the interesting story. Wish I could play the guitar, I was an utter failure at it!

Linjahaha,
Such a great story and I agree with you and love your attitude and your enthusiasm for your job. You're a special person and Ruthie apparently thought so too, keep up the good work!

I love that she waved and had a smile! Did you notice at all any white glow near her, or did she look "normal" or what? Just curious.

Dear Crimson: The new resident in #115 wasn't home. He was out with his family, & didn't let us know about it, but he was alright.
Thank you for you kind words, also. It's nice to be appreciated. However, I'm doing what I really enjoy doing, & hope to do it for some time yet. Retirement? I'm too accustomed to working. I have to feel like I serve a purpose. I'm not getting rich, but I'm satisfied that I'm filling a need!

Thank You So Much Again! ❤ 😊

The.D.Soul, you don't need to apologise for your grammer. I for one am still writing from my home schooling days. I left school before I should've and wish I stayed. All that aside, I enjoyed reading about your experience.
Did you ever figure out who's footsteps you heard, whether that be of the paranormal kind or of an intruder?
Regardless, your group of friends were all there witnessing what each other saw. So no one can question the validity on that.
I think maybe an unsettled spirit myself.

Linjahaha,
What a lovely lady you must be to give your time and energy to care for others. It's a selfless act and warrants recognition. No doubt the families of the residents and the residents just Ruthie appreciate your kindness and care.
I was teary when I read Ruthie passed, I can't imagine how you felt having known her for years.
Where was the new resident from #115 that you went looking for? Who found him? Poor guy may have lost his bearings.
Thank you dearly for sharing this story with us. It was a lovely friendship you had and it obviously meant just as much to Ruthie.

Hello! I love your story! I have a spooky podcast and I'm creating an episode on ghost pets and would love to include your story. Thank you!

I feel that she presented herself to you, just to let you know that she's in a better place, you must be a very special person to her for her to reveal herself to you.

If I had to go through that last bit, I'd be out of there as quickly as possible, but it doesn't seem to be a negative spirit/s from what I have read.

Here in South Africa we also believe that lighting a cigarette or any type of flame, especially at night wards off negative entities, also swearing at it or showing anger, also we avoid moving around at night with meat and other meat related food items as it's believed to attract certain types unfriendly supernatural beings and if we absolutely have to we place a few green or dried chillies on top of the parcel.

Thanks for your reply plaza.

There's nothing wrong with doing things properly. (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕)

You needed to tell us the details and the more you tell us, the more we get what was going on.

Cheers,
Kent

Your experience is similar to my own. I was about 4 when I saw a glowing old woman in a chair. Not sure if it rocked. I just remember waking up to her staring at me by the side of my bed and I would put the covers over my head and peek through. I had no knowledge of God at the time so I didn't pray.

it's funny because when I was three in brazil I used to see a huge white bird and I couldn't sleep bc he was everywhere

To: RCRuskin, & Tweed, No I haven't seen Ruthie since that 'one' single time. That's why I fell that she just 'wanted' me to know that she appreciated me, & she was, now, alright.
I think that when someone passes on they may have an unfinished thought that they didn't get to follow through on. Just hypothesizing
Here.
My late grandma, & husband came to visit me several times after their passing. Those visits 'always' provided me with a sense of peace, & comfort.
I assure you. If they cared about you, they will 'find' a way to communicate with you, & it's nothing to be afraid of. It affirms the fact that there is more to this mortal plane of existence than what we realize!

Thanks for Reading! 😊 😊

Have you seen Ruthie after this specific encounter you related to us?

Hi Linjahaha,

It sounds like you've underestimated the positive impact you had on Ruthie. I know society tends to encourage the attitude of 'I'm just a caregiver' and 'it's just a job'. In reality the meaningful connections we make in our lives can happen in the blink of an eye and they're not always family or life long friends. Fact is you and Ruthie clicked.

I assume the checks you were doing on that day were done around the same time each day, so Ruthie would've known approximately when you'd enter the room. Sounds like she was waiting for you, which again speaks to the connection you shared.

There's been discussion on here in the past about how spirits show themselves. One theme that seems to occur more often than not is that when there's a visible apparition the ghost won't 'talk' and vice versa. That is to say a ghost may 'talk' and show themselves, but it never seems to occur simultaneously, or at least it's a very rare occurrence if it does. One theory about this is the amount of energy required to pull it off so to speak.

Ruthie waving and smiling to you may have been her way of speaking without drawing too much energy from wherever. These kinds of experiences really show how important someone was/is to another soul.

Thanks for sharing and the great work you do.

lady-glow: Thank you for your comments. I tend to agree with you here. That possibly I 'did' cross Ruthie's mind before she passed on. Possibly she just showed up long enough to let me know she's alright now. I wasn't scared by seeing her. It was actually very emotional for me. I feel flattered that she 'wanted' me to see her with that wonderful, sweet smile on her face.
I'm glad that you read, & enjoyed this account!

All the Best! 😊 😊
