SPOOKY SLEEPOVER

I am 26, but this happened when I was about 11 or 12. I was spending the night as I always have at my best friend Rachael's house. It was summer time very hot. We had the windows open to feel the breeze. Mind you, she has no pets in her house either. She was sleeping on the floor.   I was sleeping on the bed. I started to hear a noise like something was walking around on her floor. I woke up saying "Rachael, what is that noise?"  Rachael said " I don't hear anything, go back to sleep" So, I tried to go back to sleep. Once again, I heard the noise again. Thinking that she was joking around, I said "Ok Rachael, jokes over, quit messing around" Rachel said " Are you ok? I am not playing any jokes. I'm sleeping. Come sleep on the floor with me" So I laid on the floor and was starting to fall asleep when I felt something crawling on my legs. Trying to ignore it thinking that t it was my imagination, I closed my eyes and started falling asleep again. All of a sudden, I felt this weight, like someone jumped on top of me. I sat straight up and screamed bloody murder. Her dad came running down the stairs and turned on the light. For some reason, Rachael and I looked up at the ceiling and there was a gray cloud floating up to the ceiling. It was 3:00am in the morning. I called my parents making them come pick me up. I was so scared I couldn't even sleep in my own bed. I slept in my parents bed.
The other story is that we have this really haunted place where I live. It's called Collingwood Art Museum in Toledo Ohio. There are some good ghosts and some really evil ghosts. One of the ghosts that lives in the basement is really evil. One of my friends that has gone down there said that she was chased by this evil spirit. Anyhow, one of our friends was attending art school at this school, and my friend and I wanted to walk around the school and check it out. It is SUCH a beautiful antique place too. It used to be a nunnery I think. We were upstairs and as we were climbing up some stairs, I saw this guy dressed all in black. Being the nice person that I am, I said "Hi, this place is BEAUTIFUL!!" He looked at me and whispered "Get out" I looked at my friend and my friend looked at me, when we looked back, he was gone. I knew at that time, that it was time to go!... Oct. 22 2004

HEAVENLY

In 1982,my father was in the hospital dying of cancer.  the night before he died he said that when they were working on him he never felt so happy. I felt he saw the other side.  Just this year my mother passed away the day after Mother's Day. My brother and I had a nice day on Mother's day . When he left she was sitting on the couch lifting her hands in the air.  I don't know if she saw my dad or God but the next morning I couldn't wake her.  She passed away in her sleep.  I wish I knew she was being called by God or my dad...

A CALL FROM THE OTHER SIDE

My sister (16) and I (12) were babysitting a little girl, her name was Jaala (3). Well we had just got her tucked into bed, when we got a phone call, I answered. "Hello," i said. "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!" the person said on the other line. I got so freaked out but my sister just said it was probably just a prank call. Well just a few minutes later we heard footsteps upstairs they stopped a few seconds later. We called the police. They told us to get Jaala, get the heck out of there until they come so we went to the neighbors across the street. The police came and asked me some questions and my sister was trying to calm Jaala down.   She wanted to go in the house. The police went in the house and found broken glass everywhere. One policeman went upstairs and all of a sudden we all heard screaming. We all went upstairs and found nothing but a dead policeman that had been stabbed. Jaala and her parents moved in with us until they got a new house...6/26/2004

Beanie Baby

It was around 4:00 am when I woke up one night last month. I sat up and looked out my window for a few minutes, then my alarm clock started going berserk. I didn't know why, since it was set for 5:00 am. I tried all the buttons but I couldn't turn it off, so I unplugged it. Then I looked around the room, hoping to see a clue of why it did that. Then my eyes widened because what I saw was not what I expected. There was a little girl about my age leaning against my wall staring at me, playing with my favorite beanie baby. I did not recognize her, but she had short black hair. She was wearing a long white shirt with dark blue long pants. Not jeans, but not exactly sweatpants. She had dark, black eyes. I knew it was real, as I have believed in ghosts since I was about 4 years old. I am currently 11. She stared into my eyes and I stared into hers. She said quietly, "Hi." I whispered hi back, blinked, and I watched the beanie baby fall to the floor as she disappeared. Since then I have seen her whenever I pick up that beanie baby, she reappears and reaches out to touch it. I have it in my hand, with her hand on top of it, we look into each others eyes, and she disappears. Sometimes she talks to me just before she leaves, but doesn't say much. I can normally tell how she is feeling by looking in her eyes...I guess you could say that she and I communicate through our eyes. I now know a lot about her and I can tell she knows a lot about me.
  She has drawn a strange symbol. Sometimes she tells me this, "Go there. You should go there." Then she points to the symbol and leaves before I can ask what she means. When I do ask her, she says it again then disappears...Jan.3, 2003.

Be Careful of the Ouiji Board

One day friends and I were at my next door neighbors house.   My brothers are friends with the kid. He has a younger sister .One day around 5 or 6 it had been raining for a while. My parents were at work. My neighbors parents were also at work  I was babysitting with my brothers.  We were all bored because the cable went out so we had nothing to watch.  We pulled out the Ouiji Board. Anyway  we started to play. We really got into it .A couple of hours had passed and both of our parents are home. We started to finish up and told the "Spirit" we had to go and it started saying rude things like "Don't leave you sissies "your just scared" we didn't know why. So we all were freaking scared and all ran. ran to the staircase and the i say the curtains move in front of me.  I thought that the window was left open and it was the wind. So I went over to the windoww was shut and locked.  got scared and looked over to the hallway leading to my bedroom. I saw my brothers bedroom door close really fast. It slammed. .I just thought that my brothers were in there and they just closed the door, so I didn't think much of it. I  went to my room  I remembered my brothers were downstairs. I fell right asleep I was so scared. I woke up around 9 or 10. I went downstairs after dressing.  saw my brothers friend was here (my former boyfriend) and they were telling him about the Ouiji  board and the rude spirit. He didn't believe us so we went back over to our neighbors house and got the Ouiji Board and actually got the same rude guy back. We told him that our friend didn't know that he was really that scary. I didn't tell anyone about the curtains and the slamming door because I thought it was all in my head. The rude man told us to go down in to their basement and we said no way but my brothers friend wasn't scared. So we ended up going down there, I was afraid so i stuck by "my former boyfriend." There was a little light showing through the basement window and the wooden door behind us. We all went down there getting  very scared. He then looked to the right of him and say a shadow figure try to grab him. He flipped out making us ran. I never seen him so scared. He told us what happened and he tried to forget the shadow figure...1/19/2003

Not so Good visit from Grandmother

It was about a year ago, since my grandmother died me and she were really close. A year after her funeral, my family had a big party. It was passed midnight when I started to feel drowsy and sleepy and so I took a nap on the blanket out side where the party was happening. Well while I was sleeping I could hear everybody talk it was almost like I wasn't really sleeping but than I saw my grandmother standing in a hole in the ground. She was wearing her wedding dress, and she was smiling like always. I decided to come by her, she opened her hands wildly like she wanted to give me a hug, but a minute latter she had an evil look on her face and she was laughing really hard and she started to pull me down the hole... and that's when... my father woke me up!...2/2/2003

 The Matrix

One day I was watching The Matrix in my living room. From the hallway you can see the TV and outside the hall to the left there is a love seat with a bigger couch perpendicular to it.   I was watching the movie when, all of a sudden, I saw something, a little below the arm rest, peeking at me. I thought it was my sister, but I realized that she had left to spend the night at her friend’s house. Then I called my dog 'cause I thought it was her. I put her on the couch with me, but still it kept on happening. So a couple minutes later I fell to sleep. I started having a nightmare, but not the kind that you can wake up from, but this one did not let me open my eyes. At one point i did but I was levitating with my back against the ceiling. I heard voices talking about all the people they've did this to but I couldn’t see any faces. I yelled out "STOP". The voices went away. My eyes closed up again, and I felt my back come back down to the sofa .I stood asleep for the rest of the night and in the morning my sister had told me a similar story like mine had happened to her before. Since then I never slept in the living room ever again....2/3/2003
