Lights crossing the road

It has been a while since I have posted here. It isn't so much that things stopped happening. There are still the occasional photo with orbs, doors that slam and voices, but I guess it has become such a regular part of my life, it doesn't occur to me to write about it.

This is something new though. Check out these pictures. My husband took them while driving in his tractor trailer along the highway. He actually saw these lights with the naked eye. He said it just looked like they were crossing the road.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm"

Recent Activity

Our house has been full of activity recently, and although I can't really put my finger on why, I get a bad feeling. This sort of stuff doesn't usually bother me, but lately I find myself feeling some fear.

First two weeks my dog Bailey was sniffing and barking at something unseen under or near the kitchen table. Late that night, my dog Freddy woke up visibly agitated. He went into the kitchen and pawed at the wall, as if he wanted to go out through the wall.

During the following week there were several times my dogs were on edge. Often barking at nothing, but acting like there was some big reason why they were barking. I went out and checked several times to see if someone had been hanging around the house. But not one tell tale footprint in the snow could be found.

Two nights ago, I heard a voice. I had just gotten into bed and the house was silent. I heard what sounded like a man's voice. As I heard it, I immediately wondered if the dogs heard it. No more did I finish that thought and the dogs started barking. Sometimes my brother in law will stop by after work, so I got out of bed and went to the door. Nobody was there, nor were there foot prints of tracks to indicate that anyone had been there. Yet I heard a distinct voice, and the dogs heard something too.

Last evening, I was sitting at my computer and I thought I saw something pass in front of me. My desk faces the window, so I thought maybe something had passed outside.
Seconds later, my husband saw something in the kitchen. Under the table, near the wall. (The outside wall is the same wall my desk faces in the next room). He said he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. It got his attention, so he looked. He said it was so fast that he can't really describe what he saw, but he saw something under the table, seemingly stand up and then disappear.

Currently the kitchen table area seems to be the hot spot for activity.

The Lake Zombies

This experience was had by my husband. Like me, he has had several things happen to him over the years. This happened around the same period of time as the compass story.

One night my husband was driving home. About a mile and a half from our house is a boat launch. As he was driving home he saw a couple with an old car. It appeared that they were broken down, so he stopped to help. As the couple approached he noticed that they didn't look right. Their clothes were very out of date, and torn and tattered. Then, he says, as they walked closer to him, he could see they were not of this world. Their skin was decomposing and flaking off.

My husband is not someone who is easily scared, but this scared him. He left without waiting for them to reach him. He is convinced he saw what he refers to as "Lake Zombies". This encounter scared him so much that he refused to even go in the lake for a few years after this happened.

Interestingly, this is not the only time a couple has been sighted on our road. Although I wasn't there for the experience at the boat launch, I have been present for two other experiences.

First - One evening we were coming home. It wasn't dark yet, but dusk was approaching. We saw two people sitting on a guardrail. Both my husband and I saw them. We decided to turn around and see if they needed help. We thought that perhaps they were snowmobile riders who had a problem, as the area we saw them in was near a big field area next to a cemetery that people use to snowmobile on.

We turned around at the first side road and went back to see if they needed help. However, when we got back nobody was there. There was nobody walking in the road, there were no footprints in the snow, there was no snowmobile or tracks, or anything to indicate that there had been people there.

Another time, again driving home on the same road we saw two people walking on the side of the road. I kiddingly said to my husband "I wonder if those people will disappear too?" He then looked in the rear view mirror after we passed and they were gone.

The Compass

We moved into our home in October 2001. Not too long after we moved here, we had our first unexplained experience. I don't remember the date, but I know we hadn't been here long because I was still in the process of unpacking boxes and putting things in their new place. One of the rooms I had done was the laundry room, since that is a room that I knew I would be using right away.

The people who used to live here called looking for the game controller for their playstation. They said that it might be in the cabinet in the laundry room. Since I had just been in the cabinet the day before I knew it wasn't there. It had been totally empty before I started putting my stuff in there. Even so, my husband checked in there anyway. The controller wasn't there, as I had said. However, when he opened the door, he saw an old compass. We did some research on the Internet and found out it was the kind of compass pilots used in WWII. It just appeared there, as it was not there the day before.

I put the compass in a wooden box which I keep in my desk drawer. It has been there for years now. Periodically I have taken it out to show people when the topic has come up.

Until last week....

I was telling a neighbor about it and when I took the wooden box out to show her, it was empty. Evidently whoever giveth, taketh away.

Yesterday evening, as I sat at the computer, I swear I heard a loud man's voice. It was a very quick sound, and by time I realized I was hearing something it was over and I was not able to decipher it in my mind. Since I have been sick the past few days, I dismissed it. Although, it was difficult to totally dismiss it, as I think my dogs heard the sound too. They all looked down the hall, some barked and some growled.

I put all this out of my mind and continued to go about my business. I decided to take some Nyquil and go to bed early last night. In the middle of the night, several of my dogs bolted out of bed growling. Because I had taking the medicine, I didn't have the strength to get out of bed and see what was going on. I didn't hear anything going on, and it was very quiet last night. There was not a sound in the air. I promptly fell back to sleep.

Currently I have some decorations up for fall. I have a large pumpkin on my kitchen table and a smaller pumpkin on an entertainment center. In this picture from last year, where the tree is, is exactly where I have the pumpkin. I noticed earlier today that it was moved. Moved so far to the end of the entertainment center that it would be out of this shot.

Again, I tried to explain it away. My head has been in a fog. Perhaps in my cloudy mind I moved the pumpkin for some reason and just didn't remember doing it. At any rate, I put the pumpkin back in the center where it belongs.

Again, I went about my business. I took the dogs out and when I came back inside the pumpkin was moved again. Only this time, it was moved clear off the entertainment center and was on the coffee table across the room. I have put it back again.

My First Encounter

My first encounter happened when I was about 17 years old. Of course, at that time I still lived with my parents. The attic of their home had been converted into an apartment. One time in the middle of the night the lady (Claudia) who lived up in the apartment called. Her husband had become ill and she had to take him to the ER. She was calling because she wanted me to go and stay with her small children.

I went up to stay there. Since it was the middle of the night, I went to sleep on their bed.

Some time later someone calling Claudia's name woke me up. There was a woman beside the bed. Her face was blurry as if covered with a thick veil. She had no feet which touched the ground. I had a conversation with the woman. I told her Claudia wasn't there, she had to take Mike to the hospital and I was there with the kids. She told me to let her know Lillian was looking for her. At this time I started to feel a little frightened, and like that, she was gone.

The next day I mentioned this to Claudia and she had never heard of anyone named Lillian. So, I never really understood what the driving force was behind this contact.

Some time later my Mom was talking to the lady who lived next door, who was 96 years old and had lived in the neighborhood for a very long time. Mom asked her if there was ever a Lillian who lived in our house. There was NOT. However, there was a woman named Lillian who lived across the street and she was having a relationship with a man who lived on our house. Then Lillian died at our house, she thought it was in my bedroom. So, that explains who Lillian was, and why she might be at our house, but I could never reason out a connection between her looking for Claudia in the attic apartment.

Welcome!

During my life I have had many paranormal encounters. I have found that from time to time the subject comes up and I am writing the same stories over and over. I thought it would be a good idea to have my stories all in one place.

I think that paranormal activity is all around us. Some people totally close their minds off to it. Others, like myself, are welcome to it. Once a person becomes open, they develop a "sixth sense" so to speak. I think that those who have crossed over to the other side then use those people as a portal to this world.

As time permits, I will transcribe my experiences and record new experiences as they occur.
