Ghosties and other strange things
Posted by the shadow at 01:08, 22 May 2007This is for Colette.
Colette mentioned in a comment that she had felt the mattress on her bed depress as if someone sat on it.
Yes, I know this sensation.
I have been woken in the night when sleeping alone because I felt that a heavy person had sat on the bed beside me.A few minutes later I experienced the sensation of a person rising from the bed and the mattress returning to its normal position.
I can't say I have seen it but I have felt it.
Right from the start I want to make it clear that I am not talking evil beings here.
I don't believe in evil beings except for those who deliberately set out to harm others.
So this is not about devils or possession, it is about sensations the body or the mind becomes aware of.
I have also had the strong feeling of someone touching me on the arm or the neck.This has happened a few times and is so convincing that I have looked for the person who did it but could not find anyone.Sometimes I have felt that I was slapped and it is quite a shock.
Along with this I have also heard voices.Hearing voices is not always a sign of a delusional mind, or so say the scientists now.They say it can happen to anyone.
This has been rare for me but it has happened.I have never been able to understand what the voice is saying, just that a quick statement in English was yelled in my ear.And this was when I was totally alone.
People also see people who are not there, who are dead or are in another country.I know someone who twice had the experience of having someone who is dead come to him with information he could not possibly have received.In the first case because he had no contact with his own country for many years before or after, due to political circumstances.In the second it was affirmed within 3
weeks.
His third experience was of someone who was alive and in need of help.
I actually witnessed this one happen.
He had been lightly dozing in a chair, and had woken and looked around.Suddenly his gaze stopped in a direction in front of him and he recoiled as if he couldn't believe his eyes.Then he looked at me, and looked back at the image in front of him.
About 30 seconds later he said to me 'Where is she? Where did she go?'.
Then he told me whom he had seen standing in front of him.
I have my own theory about these particular visits he receives.They have all occurred after he has woken from a nap, In the case of the first two when he has woken at 5am and being unable to sleep properly he has fallen maybe into a meditational state.In the last one, after he had been napping in the day.
Maybe it is possible that we enter parallel universes when these events occur.Maybe that's why people see ghosts.
I saw twice an old man with long hair who walked around my old house in the country and my daughter regularly saw him by the old-fashioned wood-burning stove.
All my children saw a little girl in a blue dress so regularly that it bacame a family joke that when something was missing it had been taken by the little girl.
A little girl had been scalded to death in that house by boiling water from a stove like our's.Her mother then had the stove removed and we replaced it with another when we bought the house.
Strange things happened in that house but I lived there for a couple of years alone and was afraid of nothing.Nothing inside the house that is, outside the house was another matter.
When we first bought the house here,I experienced the sense of someone walking through the front door at night and walking up to me where I was sitting at the computer and stopping behind me.It was so real that I would put my hand up to take the hand of my partner whom I thought had walked in and stood behind me.It became a case of sometimes he would be there and sometimes he wouldn't, and I would just marvel.This stopped after about 2 years.
(I have always had poor peripheral vision folks).
Terry White, the gentleman who wrote a book on ghosts that I mentioned here previously told me that whatever these things are, they often copy the actions and sounds of the people living in the house.He is so right.That's what was happening.
The thing that really does get me interested though,and I wouldn't say scared as I tend not to be the scared type, is when the animals react to something I cannot see.
I would be interested to hear if any of you TDG people have had the experience of having your dogs suddenly go to a part of the room and,in opposite positions growl fierce and low,their shackles rising on their backs.
It does not happen here in this house very often but it happened just now, which made me remember.
Sometimes they stay that way for minutes, and act like they are trying to prevent something entering their space, which is the room.
The parrot also does it, but not as much as another parrot did years ago in the old house.Most nights at a certain time he would look at the corner of the living room and start screaming, raising his feathers on his head in anger.
If we moved him away he would look over his shoulder and continue screaming until whatever threatened him had gone.I wondered if he heard birds far away, but he seemed to be focusing on an area over my head in the room near the doorway.
When I lost Captain a few months back,the people who found him were returning him to me, and before their car pulled up in front of my house, the dogs went crazy.They knew he was back.I kept telling them to be quiet, and I looked out the front door and there was a car just slowing down.
I have never seen anything that looks like a ghost is supposed to look.The only thing I have seen is the old man and he looked normal to me, but long-haired and wearing a white night-gown.My mother and brother used to see an old Chinese man wearing a coolie hat walk past the window at night.Her house was built on a former Chinese market garden.It was funny to watch them as they would both suddenly say,'There he goes'.I always felt that they could see into other dimensions I knew nothing of, and I believe they did.
Sometimes I think we are very lucky when there happens a little glitch in the matrix and we are allowed a brief glimpse of what else there is in the universe.I can understand why the ancient people believed that these were gods they saw when that glitch happened in their presence.
But I can't be afraid of it,it all feels perfectly normal to me.
Has anyone ever heard of a ghost coming to harm a livng person? I would be very interested in your stories.

When I was twelve I would ride my horse in a large area that had woods, streams and creeks, ponds and little trails made by the cows that had grazed there. One day I was riding bareback as usual and it was one of those really great weather days, not too hot or cold, not too muggy or too dry. I was loping along and came to the gate into the hill pasture and paused. A voice or my own thoughts I don't know which, said "This moment is one that is to remember for all time, it is unique and will not be repeated." I have remembered that moment, it was a special only to one person and that was me. Later my girl friend joined me and we swapped horses, we were racing across the flat bottom land and the rein broke, it spooked her horse, the one I was on. He was flying top speed towards a five strand barbed wire fence. Just as he approached the fence he locked up his front legs and I went sailing over his head and landed upside down on my head. Beth said it was so weird. It was like someone had caught me and laid me down gentle, I jumped up and shook myself off. I should have had a broken neck, but didn't. I wasn't even scuffed up. She said, it was an angel. I didn't know what happened, saw nothing but the ground coming at me at an alarming rate, blacking out when I hit and waking up all flipped over on my neck and head.
The first house I ever bought was an old one with stucco walls and old time plumbing. It was very picturesque, tidy, neat and white with green shutters and a large front porch. I always got an odd feeling in the hall and bath room area. Like something horrible had happened in there. It was just a feeling, no sounds or anything. Many years later, it was in the hall when I miscarried. I nearly bled to death because I was alone, I didn't realize I was in the midst of it and felt so bad I had to lie down, I fell asleep and nearly bled out. My girl friend woke me up and saw all the blood, rushed me to the ER and they operated on me and I had to have blood to get me back up and well again. I sold that house and was glad to be rid of it. But I never found one made as well.
I have had cats as pets just about all of my life. Sometimes they would puff up at an unknown something, snarl, hiss and strike out at nothingness as if something was there. This is similar to what your dogs would do with the barking and growling. Never saw what it was but it happened on occasions.
My horses were spooky on a bridge in the next county south of here. Not once did my horse ever like crossing that bridge, and believe me we have been over some real tricky ones but this was a very broad and nice wide one, no tall over hangs or strange fittings, simple smooth concrete modern edge, just over waist high. Many years later I found out that a large tree that was on the creek bank had been used for a lynching. Is that weird or what. Is that a case of disrupted vibrations? Oh and several wrecks were on that bridge also in the decades following. The only reason I know that was my husband went on one of the ambulance calls there.
When we were looking for a country home to buy we saw so many houses but one of them gave me the creeps, then I dreamed about it, I don't like going down that road. It too was a Civil War era home and was very dark and foreboding looking, it had a lot of old trees lining the narrow drive. I have never inquired about that home but I bet it has a story behind it.
My great great grandparents home was similar in age but far north in the top part of the state. My aunt had worked hard to refurbish it and get it looking good again. She is the one I lived with every summer. When they passed away, it was finagled away from our family by a very clever person. The following spring a tornado came and wiped the entire place flat, the twohundred year old trees snapped in two like twigs, the huge barn gone, not even a brick from the big fireplaces remained. That was weird too. It was like a giant vacuum cleaner had sucked it right up and off the face of the earth.
The morning my dad passed away I was opening the blinds for him, not realizing he was dying. I was chattering away. I said I wished he could come to the window because it was such a weird sight. The clouds had opened up in a huge perfect heart shape and the sun was rising making everything peachy pink, even the clouds. About that time the nurse came in and said my father had slipped into a coma and we needed to call my mother immediately. The heart was right about and directly above where their house was located.
When my mother passed away, she could not speak as she was intubated, she kept looking at me, straight in the eye like, "Do something!" Clinching my hand, I whispered to her to just let go and not let us stop her. She died. I stepped backward out of the room, at that very moment the sun was setting, huge bright orange and perfectly centered in the square huge window in the CCU. That was weird too. This time I had witnesses and a lot of them. I have a painting of a baobob tree over a mass of reddish brown hills in the distance, the sky is barren but for the very bright orange sun. Mother gave me the painting.
I haven't had presences or ghosts but more like overwhelming synchronicities that are just too strange to be but are. I've related them before so I won't repeat them. Also precognitive dreams. Deja vu and some strange things I saw in the NDE, my seizure/stroke and a sense of being stared at when no one was there.
Thanks shadows for letting me just ramble on. Love, Pam

In Tennessee there is a very famous story of the Bell Witch posessing a girl and causing a lot of havoc. That is the only ghost I have ever heard of that caused harm.
http://www.bellwitch.org/story.htm
Then there is the haunted house in the Amityville Horror stories.
http://www.yourghoststories.com/famous-g...
Both stories have specifically mentioned links to Native American Indians in them. -----------------------------Truth is stranger than fiction.

Is interesting because of the presence of Andrew Jackson.I must look it up further.
The Amityvile Horror I have a bit of trouble with.I read a couple of times about the two blokes who wrote the story over a beer at the pub.
Yes the Blair Witch Project was a good idea for the movie makers.I didn't see it.
I have suffered from poltergeist activity when a certain person is around me or even on the phone from another country.But I think this is my own personal reaction to this person's unusual persona.

I love it when people ramble because although they may not realise it sometimes some little pearls are found in their ramblings.As in your's.
The horse on the bridge...wow, that is amazing.
Did you ever feel the presence of evil as people say they do when strange things happen?
I don't,I just feel it is part of the fabric, the warp and woof(is that what I mean?) of life.
Synchronicities, now there's a good example of something going on that we don't know about.
Coincidences can only go so far I feel.
I see these synchronicities as sign posts on the road of life if that isn't too much of a cliche.
They say to me that yes, this is my road.The road may seem awfully convoluted and I am not sure I want to go in this direction but these sign posts seem to be reasurring me that it is OK to do so.
Deja vu can drive you nuts.But scientists say it is only a trick of the brain.
It doesn't feel like it to me.
I didn't say anything about reincarnation.I am extremely interested in what anyone has to say about it.I don't know if I believe in it or not.I have seen some strange sights though as you oldies here would know.
For instance my two half Indian grandchildren 14 months apart who knew each other before.I mean before they were born.The little girl knew her brother when he was born and went straight to his cot in the hospital nursery amongst 30 other cots when none of us had visited before.Only the baby boy could calm her when she had night terrors, and she chewed his finger nails for him until he was 8, maybe longer for all I know.
If it was in a previous life then he had been the comforter for her.
About 6 years ago my 43 year old cousin killed himself.He had three young sons.A few days later my best friend's granddaughter aged 13 died of cancer.
The little girl fought so hard to live, while my cousin gave away his life.I am not criticising him,it was his life to give away, I am stating a fact.
Last week my cousin's oldest son's wife gave birth to a baby boy the image of my cousin.
Last week also my friend's other granddaughter gave birth to a little girl the image of the girl who died, even to having red hair which is unknown in that family.
The baby girl was an accident.The family had two boys and did not want any more children.Suddenly she is pregnant and 9 months later the image of her sister is presented to her.
There has been much rejoicing in these families.Does this sort of thing happen to anyone else or am I just noticing things?
Please everyone tell us your sychronicities, your strange experiences, your ghosts, and anything that you think is beyond the normal for what we know of the world.

Shadows: "Synchronicities, now there's a good example of something going on that we don't know about."
I've had a number of synchronous mobile phone events over the years that have left me puzzled. One was phoning the Daily Greg at exactly the same time he was phoning me. Another was receiving a phone call from a friend with whom I had not had contact for over eight months ... at the same time that I was looking up her number so that I might give her a call. That particular call resulted in me leaving a job that was going downhill fast and starting a new job that was (and is) near as dammit to my dream job.
Whatever happened to the word 'empirical?' Seems to me like it's going out of vogue.

There are so many phone synchronicities A2 that they could make a chapter in themselves.
The story about the dream job is a good example of what I call sign post events.
This is where you turn to take this road, or that event was where you turned to take that road.
Happy you have your nearasdammit dream job.

have it when the other side gets in the way on this one?
I really don't mind being aware, but I really hate to be woken up. They know to let me sleep lol.
My Aunt had a NDE and met her mother who told her to go back. It wasn't her time. I guess it wasn't either...she lived to be almost 90.

When I had surgery on my leg in 2005 I could not wake from the anaesthetic.As far as I was told later nothing had gone wrong although they did say I had a bad airway problem.
I felt myself above my body and I saw myself below and then I just slipped back in.I can't remember any more than that.
When I saw an anaesthetist a few weeks ago about my coming surgery on the same leg he told me that I would never find anyone to give me a general anaesthetic again as I had had severe problems the last time.He said I should never have been given a general anaesthetic.
I am asthmatic.
He went on and on at such length that I realised that it had to have been very serious.
Maybe I 'died' and came back, or maybe I was waiting to see if I was going to die.
I wish I could remember where I had been but I can't.I know I was gone for a long time though as it was now evening and I was first into surgery in the morning.
So according to the staff I was OK, in that I was breathing etc, but obviously not about to wake up.
I don't think there is a satisfactory explanation yet for these experiences either.

Dear shadows,
You had an out of body experience. There are many examples of that somewhere. I'll try to look that up for you. It's similar to a NDE in that you are no longer in your coporeal body but in your etheric body. People who can Remote View are able to do this also as well as many who have taken ethneogens or shamens and priests, oracles such as the ones at Delphi inhaling the noxious fumes. Some of the Sufi dancers enter trances and the workers in voodoo dances and various drumming type scenes can bring on out of body states.
That is fascinating to have experienced it and relate it here for us. Thanks, Pam

I suppose the anaesthetic caused me to have the OOBE.It was a different drug from any I have received before.
I have tried to dream where I went to but I only know I was a long long way away as I heard my name being called over and over and it seemed to take a while before I could see my body to get back into it.

What the Bleep do we know.. Down the Rabbit Hole, movie, has an anesthetist who talks about NDE and he has a very interesting explanation. Go watch it. It really does make more sense to me anyway than some of the ideas out there.
ya.. I have a tendency for my BP to drop.. bang! I told them about it and one time the anesthetist ignored my information.
Luckily the most recent experience is on my chart and documented and the anesthetist makes the proper adjustments. I also have sleep apnea.
Well I am sure glad you are ok.

On cable that is.I think it was only on once and I missed most of it.
I will try to see it.
I have often wondered, specially after my experience and now that I know it really happens, what would happen if you couldn't find your body.
I know my body was a long way from the voices and then I was suddenly closer and saw my body.
But do those who can't find their bodies become those who do not awake from surgery and are then termed 'in a coma'.
This would be different from those people who suffered from brain damage in an accident.
The body is there and all intact but the 'essence' or awareness is lost somewhere.
Thanks for the kind words Marissa.

Hey Shadows, so what are you going to do?
I think I remember when you has some surgery.
What about your leg? What are you going to do for the operation, just have novacaine shots or what? Are you goign to have the operation? If you do, you need to let us know so that we can hold group energy thoughts for you and send them out in the eathers...........that works. Or if you are tired of this life , let us know that too so we do not do something against your wishes. If you want to split, we can be postive for you and help scoot you out of here onto the other side......................wow that was strange to think of just then,phew, my brain......slow down.
The Grail has a lot of people who have experienced many things that fall into the category of high strangeness and paranormal for the NORM. But, for us it seems normal.....To others who are straight, like G.W.Bush !!!! we must seem odd.
Does Bush really belong to the Skull and Bones Society?

That's the nicest offer I've had for a while, to scoot me out of here.I'll let you know if I get to that stage.
I will have an epidural for my leg if I ever get well enough for that.NOt doing too well at present.
Yes Bush is a Skull and Bone man, whatever that does for him.

I just read your other comment. Yeah, maybe about Bosnia that could be true as others wrote that it was not a real pyramid, but, it was n't until Greg and Kat got those letters up and pics that the international community really believed what was going on, I mean apart from the ones who already knew as they are into archaeology and the sciences. But, I think it was the honesty that shown in those letters that made the Bosnian thing more real and it was live in the sense that we were all discussing the variables. I was open minded, but always questioned why they had such crappy photos posted on their Foundation site that you could not really distinguish what the stones and blocks were they were calling man made pavement. Except some of them were telling as you could see that they were sediment layers. I had a most bizarre time there for sure.
Epidural -- you will be awake then. Don't look, you might pass out. Hey, maybe that is it --- faint! Boo ! I will scare you.......WEll, we will not do anything until you let us know. You give us your directives and we will honor them. As for the offer, no problemo! You just need to feel better either way.
Terry White, remember is the name of my doctor. He was my best friend in many ways and took care of me for over 9 years. He passed in January this year. He was my age, it was unexpected. Complications with the flu and diabetes. I think he got real tired of all of the bad stuff happening in the world today. We would talk alot. I think he had enough and he did suffer too in his own way. I just really miss him and my life line is gone and I have to find another one who I can trust with my body and spirit who will honor my intelligence about my own body and I understand medicine and symptoms, I am on top of what is happening to me. Most doctors want to play God. Screw them, I am not a text book case. They are idiots most of them and they are just doctors for the money.
I have a new doc, I am learning about him and he is learning about me. I saw him yesterday, and I was in the hospital last week again in the ER. Stupid stuff, it never ends. I did not die or have an out of body experience though, bummer.... just a long ass visit with an dumb ass ER doc. You see, I am to go through all of this stuff so I understand others and their ailments, it makes a better doctor out of me, I have more empathy and compassion.
I think the ancients took things in stride and they also had their rituals. I would like to really be back in time.
I wish I could spend time with the Aborigines (spelling?) and learn what they feel. I care about all indegenous tribes and their cultures. WEll maybe not pigmy cannibals, they scare me, like in those old Tarzan movies and ones about Africa and South America. Shrunken heads and all.
Science is what it is.........I often wonder if Science really realizes how close they come to define spirit at times and how it all really works in "that" (modern science) paradigm.
Skull and Bones...good greif, I have had soem pretty odd papers sent to me to publish....yuk.....gross, puke, puke........sex and satan and babies and whips and goats and wild pig callings.....AAaaaaaaahhhh honk honk.....
I got to go to bed now, I have enjoyed reading and yakking tonight.

I told this story the other day for the first time in 20 years; so here goes:…
When I was about 7 years old there was a young lady who lived two houses up the hill and she had a baby who suffered from multiple health issues. From what I can remember the little girl was in a lot of pain and was blind and believed to be deaf also.
I can remember many times when we could hear the constant crying at all times of the day and night. My memories are a little fuzzy, but from what I remember the baby died within about 6 months. The lady eventually moved house.
I can remember my mother giving me a small gift to take to the house, and one afternoon I walked up the hill and knocked on the front door. I can vividly recall that the house was empty and I felt very uncomfortable there. I felt the air was cold and crisp. As I approached the front gate I could hear loud crying; a baby in pain crying; the same crying I had heard for the past 6 months or so. I walked around the back of the house and the crying became louder and louder as I walked past the baby’s bedroom.
I quickly ran back home and told my mother who then walked up the hill on the footpath with me. She could also hear the crying. Apparently the house had been empty for at least one week and I later discovered that the baby had died nearly a month earlier.
I still remember that cold feeling, and will never forget the noise.

That's very sad.You must have felt sad as a little boy to hear such a sound and your mother would have too.That is an amazing story.
How much sadness was in that house with the young mother and dying child that the impression was left behind when they were gone.
This has probably had an effect on you in your life whether you realise it or not.

As a child the experience spooked me and as an adult I struggle to understand the implications of the event. I remember the cold feeling; it was a summer day around 30 degrees C, so to feel cold all of a sudden was weird to say the least.
It made me start to think that maybe the rhetoric that was being constantly spun at religious instruction was just that, and that maybe strange things did happen in the world. A big eye opener for a young boy to say the least.
My mother provided no explanation, and I was expected to forget the occurrence. That was a typical example of my parents during my childhood. Things like this were to be forgotten and ignored.

I have also felt the weight of a 'person' sit down on the side of my bed when there was no-one there. Their presence didn't disturb me, and they left soon afterwards.
Another night when I was a child, I quite definitely felt a cat jump onto my bed (they have a specific way of jumping that is very distinctive), but no cat was there.
About six weeks after I had had to have my Lilac Oriental cat euthanaised I quite distinctly saw her outline (like her whole body was visible but see-through) on a table in my laundry. She seemed quite content to be where she was, but I stroked the outline, which felt more solid than thin air, and thanked her for visiting. I haven't seen her since, although I think my remaining cat often does from the way she calls. Cats see things that people don't.
My mother lived in a very old cottage in Worcestershire, England, for a few years. It had a 'resident' who walked along the upstairs passage each night at 11 o'clock and then went down a flight of spiral stairs that were no longer there. We had no bad feelings from him. My grandmother's best friend came to stay for a few days, but we didn't mention "George" (as we called him), but she did the following morning! She said she didn't want to worry us but we had a 'resident' - a man with a wooden leg. We later discovered that the old lady from whom Mum purchased the cottage had cared for her father there for several years - a man with a wooden leg. What is more, his name really was George!!
I have had 'bad' feelings in a few places that I've been, but hastily removed myself from them, and I never found out why they had that bad feeling. It is my belief that most ghosts are simply spirits who have chosen to stay around a place they liked for a while before moving on. After all, time means nothing to them when they have passed from this reality.
That's all I can think of for now.

that ghosts are simply an impression left when the body is gone.Like the incandescant light bulbs leave when they are switched off.
Some people maybe have more of a certain element in them than others and thus are seen.
Ghosts always seem to walk the same path in death as in life, even to the degree that when rebuilding is done they remain on the same level as in life.
Like the Chinese man my mother and brother saw...he seemed to be walking on a built-up pavement.

Hello Everyone,
I am sorry I am behind here.
Yes, definitely that weight on my bed laying down next to me, I raise up and I see nothing and at times my pillow even shuffles about. I lay there wondering what ???What the ????
Last year there were a lot of times that the ? laid down next to me. My heart would race a bit and then I would rationalize it was Gerald or some one, maybe Robert watching over me, but I really do not know. These times that the ? comes I am usually in poor energy. I think that the ? is a good thing and not a bad thing. I can not think of it being bad as I would freak out. I think of it as some one who is helping me or giving me energy. There are times I have thought it to be something that wanted to scare me, but, I tend to over ride that and try and think positive.
Synchronicities are like sign posts to me too. They are choices some times, or other times like acknowledgements that I have made the right choice. Too many times things happen that are not coincidence any more and the only explanation at that point can be para-normal as in not-normal.
I am writing this and now I have had to close down my word program 7 times already. When I go back to correct a mistake I am deleting the words in front of the wrong letter I wrote and my memory on my computer should be good as it was just opened up and word was just opened. But, I have written about some poltergeist activity and it has been deleted now. I also wanted to write about the flying books, and that got cancelled out, but these words are fine so far. That is not good I wanted to write about something else.
I will try to write about the flame and the candle. This happened the day Sammie and I talked about the Bosnia gig and I was making arrangements. I think it was an omen of bad things to come maybe. Oh--So far now my words have not been being deleted, lets see how far I can go here on this.
I had emailed Robert and told him I thought he should email Sammie and let him know he was interested in going to Bosnia as I was the one who made all of the arrangements to go and I was going to go , but was waiting to see if Robert wanted to as he was going back and forth with it.
I told him he needs to write and tell him he wanted to go and we needed to firm things up so I could work on the schedule. Well, Robert sent me the draft letter he was going to send to Sammie. I read it and sent it back and told him to send it, it was fine. I then got an email right into my computer a split second later and oh crap here goes my words, I will keep trying they are getting deleted. If there are some typos I can not go back and correct I loose my letters, well anyway the email I got was from Sammie and he was saying how he was so happy that I was coming and he was welcoming me and that “Sure I was invited to come.” Well, at first I thought it was a reply to Robert’s email as I was CC: on it, but then when I read down on the email Sammie was replying to one of mine. I thought that to be weird. SO I emailed Robert and told him I got one from Sammie and sent him it, then I got Robert’s and then I got Sammie again with a reply to Robert. All of this was happening in 5 minutes. Robert emailed me and was asking me for Sammie’s phone number. I was looking all over for it. My desk was clean and all files were put aside and I was going to have to look through my drawers and cabinets for that one piece of paper. Robert wanted the number and so I started panicking as I thought I had lost it.
During this time I had a candle burning on my desk next to my computer as my power had gone off earlier due to a rainstorm. I had no papers on my desk, and I had not seen that other paper with the phone numbers on it since I first talked to Mario Gerrusi. I looked and looked for this paper. I needed to call Sammie and tell him everything was a go. I had no number though, and Robert was anxious now as well thinking I had lost my info. At that time I had a weird feeling. I looked up and there was a paper that was about to start on fire right on the candle. It was a thick candle about 4 inches in diameter. It was about 5 inches high. This paper was hanging off the top of the candle and right in the flame, I grabbed it quickly so it would not start on fire and I was so happy I noticed it, but , I had a nudging for me to look that direction. Well, then I looked at that paper to see what it was as there were no papers on my desk. My desk was completely clean. The paper ended up being the paper I was looking for with the contact info in it for Sammie. I got freaked out and emailed Robert. But, at the moment of seeing that paper on the flame and then seeing what paper it was and that is was the one I was looking for and it just appeared, well, that made me feel like it was an omen and for sure I was going to go and Robert would too, he would just have to work with his schedule. But, the flame, the flame was very dangerous and I could have had a fire start, and how was it that it was the paper that was put away, and there were no papers on my desk at all, it was completely bare due to the candle. Safety precaution.
I then thought about Bosnia, I thought about the flame, how it could be dangerous, I then too it as a warning. Like a two edge things, that Bosnia could have some potential negativity to it and to watch it, like do not let it get out of control or something. I was thinking all sorts of thoughts. I emailed what happened to me and the paper and the candle and I tried to reenact it so I could take a picture of it and send to Robert to show him what happened and how it was hanging on the flame like that. It just appeared. It was very difficult for me to take that photo as I kept burning the fake paper I was using when I was going for the camera real quick to take the photo. I finally was able to do it, but the paper was burned and browned by time I got a real shot of it.
That event made me do a lot of thinking. At that moment I decided to call Sammie as we were all in contact online. So, I did, I told him about the flame and the paper. I told him I did not know what to think but I wanted it to be a good omen. While in Bosnia many weird things happened to me and Sammie witnessed them. I will write those up another time hopefully.
Now I will lead up to why the candle and flame was so important as a warning or omen or synchronistic thing as I had to make a choice of was I really going to go and confirm or what.
Because I had set it up with Greg and Kat to help me write to the Grail while I was in Bosnia and catch my emails and help with my spelling and that way everyone here would know what was going on in Bosnia, almost live in a way, or as soon as I was able to write on that crappy hotel computer. Well, I was the one who broke it about the phony pyramids. Sammie was out in Croatia at the time, but, I had told him I was going to write to the Grail and that is why he said I could have use of that one computer. But, I did not write the pyramid was real, I wrote the truth and Sammie now when he came back from Croatia and found out I wrote to Greg and Kat was all upset. He then tried as hard as he could to remove us from the area of the pyramids as much as possible, but that was fine because we saw some really neat things we would not have seen. Sammie was really mad, but trying to act cool and calm, He was fuming as his covers had been pulled and I was very honest about what I wrote. He then wrote some very nasty comments about me and Robert and he posted them on his site like I did not know what I was talking about and Robert was a bull sh9t geologist basically.
In the meantime I was posting some comments here at the Grail. There were pyramid believers coming over here and railing on me and making up stories and creating slander. I was in touch with Sammie about this and I brought it up about the flame and the candle and I emailed him the picture I took with my camera. I told him he could be a gentleman or he could continue this and make a lot of trouble and cause a lot of negativity and bring it all upon himself and others and he would be responsible for much harm to come as the flame was not a non-chalant thing to have happen. Sammie believed me as I told you before, when we were in Bosnia some weird things happened and Sammie saw them and so did Robert and it was happening to me. I will write later about them if I can so this all makes more sense. But, Sammie is real spooked about me now. He thinks I am a witch….....haha
I think that the good ones who watch out for me were warning me about the trip to Bosnia. It was a flame as in a warning to be careful and to watch out for any negativity. Well that is how I interpreted it, but, I had no other way to interpret it when it happened , and then later on, it was used as a device to get Sammie to stop harassing me as I told the truth.
Some day I will write up about the flying books and then Robert saw them too when it happened again. The things in Bosnia are really fascinating but too lengthy for me to write right now.
I like it that we are here telling our ghost stories. It is like we are around the campfire melting marshmallows and tweaking with one another’s heads with our tales of wonders…….I do enjoy reading about all of this as I know that it can not just happen to me. I have seen ghosts or what ever you call them, and I have seen a lot of things I do not know what you call them.
Shadows, thank you for starting this post on the ghosts as I had asked for you to. I have been lazy lately and not on too much. I was happy to see it and grab it before it was down the list and I may not have seen that you started the post.
I read about all of the stories. I think there is something other than this reality for sure, whether our brain creates it or if it is another dimension. It is real one way or another.
I love the movie What the Bleep? It is very good. And also what Dreams May Come and there are others. There are a few really weird things that have happened to me in regards to poltergeist activity. I have rationalized them so I am more comfortable with them, but, some or them are so freaky I find myself wondering who knows I am here and what is it they are attempting to achieve.
I will try to follow this better this week to see what is up with these spooks.

Hi Colette,
It's obvious that you were meant to go to Bosnia with that paper burning stuff going on.What a strange thing to happen!
We are all interested to hear any more of what has happened to you in your life.
Maybe you were the ones meant to get the truth out about the pyramid because you sure created a stir.
We cannot possibly know what is going on apart from us on this earth, and I don't know why scientists think that they do because they don't.
The amount we actually know about the universe is miniscule.
I think the ancient people had a better idea because they were more right brain oriented.
They didn't bother trying to explain stuff, if they saw it they just accepted that it was there.
We spend so much time looking for rational reasons for things that we forget that there can be other-world stuff going on.
Geez I sound technical but you know what I mean.
Thanks for your story.

There nothing wrong with a few ghosts hanging around. Actually, I have found them to be very informative and helpful! And, this is a serious comment!
By the way, we had a very hard rain here in Yokohama on Friday! That was my free trial demonstration. So, if everything goes well, we'll be in business and on easy street before long!

Cnnek I am in awe of your powers.I haven't done a NRD for over a week, I'm still getting over it.
So it has to have come from you.
Tell me, are you really God?
Because if you are I am willing to believe in you.
If you are not God, it doesn't matter because you are a natural born rain maker.
I'll just have to look elsewhere for God.
We all thank you for the rain.

Well, I will have to do my rain dance again, they have placed us in the catagory of Extreme Drought conditions. It's now reading 13.37 inches below normal. The crops are drying up. The fires in many surrounding states are causing a light fog in the sky and it's turning the moon a odd shade of orange.
The day, after the night that I did my dance, it rained very hard for about ten minutes. Two days later, again it was another isolated cloud that gave us a short rain. Since then, nothing. I will do the dance again tonight and see just what will happen.
Since shadows and cnnek are crackers and I have been deemed dippy, we shall be the Rainmaking Crackers and Dip.

Doesn't it make you feel good knowing that your very own personal actions are doing something to help the community.
I am helping the community even more now by doing my NRD in the house instead of outside as I once was.
It's the thumb action you have to get right I think according to cnnek.

Shadows, you are absolutely correct! Thumbs are very important. Up-Over you point your right thumb into the wind, and your left thumb at the sky, and when the clouds roll in, you turn your face to the sky, and then, the heavens will cry! But, Down-Under you point your left thumb into the wind, and your right thumb at the sky, and when the clouds roll in, you turn your face to the sky, and then, the heavens will cry.
We, The Rainmaking Crackers Dip Club, need to coordinate our Rain Dances; so that, we are doing them at the same time, thus tripling our power. I'm at GMT +9, which during Daylight Savings Time is GMT +8; because, Japan doesn't go on Daylight Savings Time! And remember, among us its {One For All And All For One!}!

Here, its the west wind that, accompanied by a pollution boost from UK industry that brings us more rain than what we need. It is so windy here we get to suck in storms out in the Atlantic. When the wind shifts south to north the pollution from Baltic states, especially Poland we get acid rain for our troubles worse than from UK.
All global warming has done for us is give us widespread fungal infestations, inside as well as outside. We have the phenomenon of 'sick house' syndrome due to this mold, mildew, fungus attack. Folk who never thought they were allergic to anything are breaking out in all sorts of rashes, wheezy breathing due to fouling of the air.
I think we could kick this nastiness out of our atmosphere if we had access to marmite and pub grub like pickled hardboiled eggs and onions, I can't imagine the fungus would thrive in a methane fueled counter attack. When I go to pubs in UK, they have that distinctive musty aroma and no fungus odor overtones, so the UKies must be doing something right.
