Always Looking Over My Shoulder....

When I was little about 8 or 9 I woke up one morning before anyone else had woken up. For some reason I was always afraid to wake up before anyone but this particular morning I woke up and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. I had to climb onto the counter to get a cereal bowl because I was too short to reach it from the ground. When I was on the counter getting my cereal bowl I saw someone out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was my mother because this person had really dark hair (as my mother does) I didn't think anything of it and then the person got closer to me and put their arms around me and I started laughing because I thought it was my mother and when I turned around there was no one there so I got scared and ran into my parents room and they were both sleeping. Also, two other things happened to me in this house and I don't know if it was a dream or not but once I woke to my bed shaking and another time I thought I was standing in the kitchen and the back screen door kept opening and closing by itself. I also always had this one dream of looking at my wall and it was just getting closer and closer and I couldn't wake up. When I was little I was always scared in this house. I was always scared to be in a room alone for some reason. The house I'm living in now I had some things happen and I just try to let it go. About a month ago I was in the spare room, which I'm in now and the radio turned on by itself. I checked for sleep alarms but nothing was activated. I'm always looking over my shoulder for some reason.

Fort Wainwright My story begins in 1981 while my ex-husband and I were stationed on the base. We lived at 4231-3 599th Street. At first I thought I was just imagining things but, when my husband confirmed things he had seen then I knew it wasn't just me. Our ghost like to play tricks I would put something on a counter then come back later and find it moved. He/She would also eat my Kraft Marshmallow cream Michael and I would never see the ghost except when we would see the shadow on the wall go behind the television and go up the stairs. We never found out if the ghost was male or female and didn't do any research on it. With all the base closures from the Army I personally don't know if anyone lives in our old quarters all I can say is make sure to buy enough marshmallow cream for your cooking and the ghost. I Heard a Voice of a Friend When I was in High School in 1976 there was a cute shy guy named Jerry in my English class. He was part of the parking lot crew meaning he smoked pot in the parking lot more than actually went to class. One day after English class a girl named Frances that usually sat next to Jerry said to me, "Liz, Jerry really liked your yellow dress today and told me to get one too". I was really surprised Jerry even noticed me. That was my Soph. year. By Jerry's Senior year he was a year ahead of me he had become overnight the star of our football team, he was a very fast runner with the ball. Everyone at school was excited for him for his change in status at school. One day after school I headed for the parking lot to go home and I head someone say standing by his car, "bye Liz" It was Jerry. I said bye Jerry. I was excited he spoke to me as I knew he was still a shy quite guy. That year Jerry was drinking and one night while driving his car with his girlfriend inside he hit a tree and died at the scene. I did not go to the funeral, but I and everyone at school was in shock. I had a very hard life most of my life with family problems mainly my Mom, life was very hard on me. I went into therapy and pulled myself together and graduated college in 1996. My mother had told me at age 7 I could never go to college because I was not smart. I was running at the bay by my home I think I was 35yrs at the time and getting ready to graduate from my dream college. I was scared to graduate, but excited for my new life of not being a student. I was running the bay it was about 3 and I was wearing my radio headset. I heard someone say,"don't be afraid I will always be with you". I stopped and took of the headphones off and said,"what"? There was no one there. The hairs on my arms stood up. I did my run then went home. I was still so shaken by this I called my dad. Then I pulled out the picture of Jerry in his football uniform with the newspaper article about his death. I called the cemetery were the newspaper said he was and asked about him. The kind man said his birthday was the 15th of April and the shocking twist was that was the day of my graduation. Jerry's birthday and my graduation from college was the sameday. I did not believe in ghosts/spirts too much before this happened to me. Now I do think they are out there. I love you Jerry and thank you for watching over me. Love, LizP.S. I had not thought about Jerry other than on a few occasions after high school. When I heard that voice I just said to myself, "its Jerry" Tracie's Rush County Ghost Story My hometown, Rushville, Indiana, is a rather small town--mainly farming community. The families that reside there usually have been there, for several generations. Back in 1990, my family and I, that included my husband, myself and my 2 children had just moved into an older building that had been converted to an apartment building which contained 5 separate apts. Our apt. is located on the second floor but also had a third level upstairs which contained our bedrooms. At one account, all of us had seen a little black poodle run through our living room and preceded to run up the stairs. After we investigated, we couldn't find anything!! I have a pet but it's a cat---white in color!! I have never owned a dog!! Another incident that occurred to me while I was home alone! I had been working the midnite shift at a local factory. I was attempting to sleep in the afternoon hours. I was overcome by this fear that I was having a heart attack but my husband wasn't due home for a few hours. So I went to the phone and called my mother just for some reassurance! After I had calmed down, I returned to my bedroom to try to sleep! My husband was very known to listen to headsets while he was doing anything--he loved heavy metal music! I was drifting off to sleep in my waterbed, and I felt the bed softly "waving" as if someone was crawling in beside me!! I lay there thinking it was my husband trying to be sneaky! But I waited---nothing!! Then I heard the sounds of music--as if someone was holding the earphones next to my ears!!! So I decided to turn over to see what it was or if it was my husband BUT I couldn't move!!!! Something was holding me down to the bed and suddenly a wave of fear swept through me!!! All I could do was say "God Help Me!!" Then as fast as it happened, I was released from the bed, threw opened my door and ran down the stairs so fast, I stumbled on the last step!! For an hour, I sat in my living room, repeating the event in my mind----more convinced IT DID HAPPEN! There was no way, the music came from outside or by passerby cars----cause there were no upstairs windows in that apartment! Only 1 skylight in my bedroom, that was sealed off and could not be opened!!! We moved from there in '92 and moved to Florida! Did I mention that the apartment building was across the street from an old mortuary, with another mortuary 2 blocks to the north, and another 3 blocks to the south!! The houses and mine included, were built in 1800's, and the whole town has alot of original history that includes some good and some bad!! So I don't know if ghosts or hauntings really do exists--BUT I know, what I seen and felt, truly happened!! But I also think, that it is all what a person's mind is able and willing to receive!! If we believe in God or Satan----why is it so impossible to believe in Ghosts? Ghost Stories Page 28 BACK TO
