Mini Paranomal Events: The One Lock, Unlocked

Haunted KeyholeAt the very same home where the picture all decided one day to change their vertical point of view there was one door which would randomly lock itself. Unfortunately no one could find an explanation for why this kept happening, not even 3 different lock smiths.

The haunted room did not lead to anything so exciting as an old attic full of interesting old items; the room was simply a small bathroom with nothing terribly interesting in it.

If you walked away from the door for a few minutes, it would be unlocked when you returned. This was the real oddity that no one seemed to understand. After about a year it stopped and as far as we knew never returned (I myself was too young o remember either time we stayed there). Perhaps a ghost was just looking for a bit of privacy? A paranormal experience with plumbing? Perhaps we’ll never know.

UPDATE: I should be visiting this house yet again after the new year and now as an adult I may finally be able to get to the bottom of this.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.

Paranormal Events: Upside-down Pictures

Upside-down Haunted Picture FrameI suppose to go back to very earliest paranormal event of my life that I know of I would need to go back to a time when I couldn’t even get out of my own crib. My parents and I lived in a big house in a quiet neighborhood where I’m sure I spent many happy days as a drooling, dark eyed baby.

This story both my mother and father can confirm and mention from time to time when we’re discussing things that go bump in the night. They still seem to feel that something darker was implied by this event and even though I was there I honestly couldn’t say if I felt the same way. My folks also agree that I seemed to be the draw, again youth being the target of fascination or for some other reason we may not even fathom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For several weeks things in our house had been missing here and there, turning up in the strangest of places.  Many objects were also in their places, but moved very deliberately. Some of these objects were within my reach and others were not. It happened one day that my parents asked me about one in particular that they thought I might have moved. I told them it wasn’t me, probably in my most elegant baby-babble and claimed it was something else.

What the something else was they never got out of me. I imagine I could explain quite a bit better now, but again, I have no memory of this.

The event that finally convinced them that something was wrong was the day my father woke up to find every single picture in the house turned upside-down. Obviously it couldn’t have been me and my mother was away on business. No one else lived in our house, or even came in to deliver or perform any other sort of service during this time. The house was not broken into either.

To make matters particularly interesting one rather heavy print was not only upside-down, but completely above the nail on which it had been hung. Resting against the wall, held up by only the very edge of the nail this feat was not impossible, but my father said, try as he might, he could never reproduce it.

Was the home we lived in at the time actually haunted? That I may never know. I do know that during this time period I seemed to talk to walls and doorways a great deal, a habit which my parents later came to think might have been something more than it seemed.

I can tell you that there were no records of anyone dying in the house and I have come to think that this was again and event that cannot necessarily be assumed to be a ghost haunting, or any type of haunting for that matter. There may exist some explanation for what my father found, but to do this day we have none. I can only say that during that time of my life I was happy and I believe on good terms with whatever was existing within our home.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.

Theories: Why Children See Ghosts and Unexplainable Beings

Theories of ParanormalIt is not uncommon that children should see things that can’t always be explained. In many cases these sights and sounds that seem to elude parents and other adults are chalked up to active imaginations and the presence of friends straight of the creative mind.

Though it is very likely that in many cases the imaginary friends of children are indeed, just that, it is also very plausible that younger children may also be experiencing a ghostly encounter or other kinds of paranormal events.

===> Click Here Free Psychic Reading Click Here <===

Origin of Human

Some interesting theories on this stem from the idea that because children are closer to the origin of birth they may be more in tune with paranormal beings. Being so close to the very beginning of human existence one can assume fro this line of thought that certain beings are attracted to those who have just begun their life simply because they are closer to wherever it is humans originally come from before they have bodies.

Indistinguishable Paranormal

Another line of thinking suggests that children have not yet learned to associate these paranormal ghosts or beings with something that is out of the ordinary. To a small child, witnessing an event of this nature may seem no less normal than eating crackers or watching television.

In either case one of the first responses to these types of situations, in which a child reveals that they are seeing or hearing something that those who care for them cannot account for, most parents immediately begin taking action against the encouragement of these episodes. While many parents will tolerate an imaginary friend, most never consider that the friend might not be of the mind at all, but a real being outside of the basic knowledge of the human world.

As one who was neither encouraged nor discouraged in either direction by my parents, I would strongly recommend that any parent who finds themselves in such a situation be very careful about how they proceed.

Ignoring the problem may allow for a child to outgrow an imaginary stage completely, but may not allow the parents to become a key part of their world during this time period, which may have consequences later on.

To begin making assumptions as to what the child is seeing can be equally as destructive as there are many things outside of human understanding. If a child is interacting with a paranormal being it might be devastating for them to feel as though they cannot confide or rely on their parents for help.

An Unusual Child

Perhaps the most logical and involved method is to ask a child about what they see and hear. Inviting a child to draw, or if old enough write a description of the events which take place around them can be very helpful when trying to discuss the situation. While talking it is important that the parent remain on neutral ground; neither dismissing the “friend” as an illusion, nor jumping to the conclusion that their child is being haunted. By simply observing and allowing the child the comfort of knowing that their parents are in the loop a wealth of trust is built up that may very well outlast an active imagination or a curious supernatural being.

Inside Real Hauntings Poetry by SelineQuick whispers in quiet night,
This stretch of time that has no end.

Too fast this whimsy flight.
Shifty shadows down halls descend.

Only candle flutters dim.
Drafty disturbances of cold.

Something whispers of stories grim,
And tales yet untold.

Paranomral Events: Close Call with a Ghost

Interacting with the SupernaturalWhen I was about 6 or 7 years old I did something that I think every child has to do at least once in their life. I ran out into the street without looking. It was stupid and thoughtless, but like so many children I had my mind on the game and when the ball rolled onto the pavement I thought nothing of the oncoming traffic on my quiet little street.

It happened that just as I went running after that red ball, a car came speeding down the road. You can imagine what was about to happen. I had time to pause, bouncy ball in my hands, and stare at the oncoming vehicle.

I remember not moving, not having time to move. I can’t remember the sounds that car made or even what type of car it was, though it was dark in color.

===> Click Here Free Psychic Reading Click Here <===

Within a second, maybe two I was yanked backward, off of my feet and all the way back to the patch of grass next to the road. It was as if a good ghost had grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pulled with a force so great that I was tossed back a few feet to safety.

I remember not even getting a cut or scrape though I’m not quite sure how I managed it. All I knew was that I had almost gotten hurt and that something had pulled me back.

There were no other people about when this happened, nor did the car stop. I would imagine that the people inside the vehicle may have honked at me, but I honestly don’t remember.

The house in which I lived at the time I couldn’t exactly describe as one of the haunted locations where I would live later on, but I did see, hear and feel things from time to time. I moved quite often growing up and I believe that unless something was constant and bold I might have let it go, practically unnoticed while I lived my life.

I cannot precisely say what I experienced was a real haunting or what it was that pulled me back. Those theories are for another time. All I can say is that as I sat there on the ground, my young mind trying to comprehend what had just happened, I felt safe and happy. Whatever or whoever it was, I was very fortunate that day and I give me thanks to whatever prevented that potential disaster.

Goodbye for now, another end.

Theories: Aura Sightings and Existence

The Paranormal Connection to AurasAs a small child I often saw what most people would refer to as an aura around other people. I have no recollection of this, but my parents can confirm that I both spoke of it and drew pictures worth more than my jumbled vocabulary.

Every picture I drew, including those of animals included this envelope of color, each one perhaps a little different from the last, and using every color I think I could manage from my box of crayons.

===> Click Here Free Psychic Reading Click Here <===

While there exists plenty of data out there to confirm that many children see auras the explanation of precisely what an aura is still seems speculative at best. Looking over those old pictures I wish I could travel back and ask myself some questions, but as this isn’t (currently) possible I have to settle for interviews and studies in which other children have been observed adding this splash of color to the beings that they bring to life on paper.

Many children will draw auras around not just other people, but an imaginary friend, animals and even plant life. Others might draw auras to represent beings which others cannot see. Not that one should assume that an empty aura is a sign of a haunted kid, but it is definitely worth noting.

Most of my research is inconclusive, at least to my liking. Seeing auras would not appear to be a hallucination or a sign that something is wrong with the brain. Most official statements on the subject dance around any confirmation at all, which would lead me to believe that the truth is pretty simple: we still don’t know anything for certain.

In several experts I found that many children might even see the same color around one person though their interactions with the subject were all separate. I find that particularly interesting. If all auras look the same or similar to those who can see them, then one might assume that the color of an aura is based on the person it surrounds rather than the perspective of the one who sees it.

If this is true than there is much we might learn from studying auras. Consider the possibilities. What if a doctor could diagnose a patient’s illness immediately based on the color of their aura? Determine which patients have potentially fatal problems? Evaluate the level of a patient’s pain?

===> Click Here Free Psychic Reading Click Here <===

The problem is that finding an adult who can see auras isn’t easy. Even more problematic is the general perception of anyone who could. I have been, as of late, attempting to regain the ability to see these elusive colors around those closest to me, but have so far only been successful in straining my eyes. I welcome those who have experiences to share with their own abilities to do so as I would be very happy to have some current knowledge from those who have firsthand knowledge.

For the moment at least this potential useful and mysterious part of our world remains shadowed by a loss that seems to occur in so many young ones and the refusal of so many minds to peer beyond the borders of our known world.

Paranormal Events: Martha on the Church Steps

Inside Real HauntingsSome of the earliest memories I have of seeing paranormal beings are hard to understand simply because I didn’t know what I was seeing at the time. To a small child it may not be uncommon to see spirits or the ghosts of those who perhaps knew the child at one time. There exists a wealth of information showing that throughout history it is believed that younger human beings are for some reason able to tap into the existence of things we understand less and less as adults.

This post is not however for theories, this is about the experiences themselves and so I will try to explain what I believe is the earliest one in my memory.

===> Click Here Free Psychic Reading Click Here <===

Though in time the majority of what I would see as a child would have largely to do with animal spirits, my first experience was with that of what I have come to believe now was a ghost.

Every day, at about the age of 5, my mother walked me to school and I have fond memories of those solitary mornings where it seemed that she and I were practically the only people in the world. Please understand that nothing about these mornings seemed frightening, or even out of the ordinary at the time.

Each memory is similar in that we walked the same way each day, passing landmarks which at that age would be the only way for me to know where we were. Over time I believe I have clumped most of these into one type of day, in that I have great difficulty trying to separate a sunny day from a rainy one and all days seem to be of a muddled gray to me now.

The clearest part of these days is how happy my mother seemed to me and how much I looked forward to these walks. The second clearest part would be that of the older woman we passed each day near the church that was on our route. Each time we walked by I would wave to her, and she to me. Sometimes she would be standing, other times sitting on the cement steps leading to the entrance.

This minute exchange probably went on for months and the woman quickly became a normal part of the usual walk-to-school scenery.

On one particular day I remember I wanted to stop and give the woman a Valentine’s Day card of which I had many in my bag for school. I remember thinking about this, though naturally my exact thoughts have become muddled over time as I would hope my vocabulary has expanded somewhat. I do specifically remember the excitement. It was as if I had an excuse to now do more than just wave at this figure who I had come to expect and enjoy seeing each day.

As my mother and I approached the woman I remember her face was not the usual bright smile I was accustoms to, but a serious and even foreboding look. I began to pull away from my mother and simultaneously explain about giving the woman the card when the woman suddenly moved to the door of the church. It was too fast. This is when I believe I knew that what I had thought to be just a friendly old woman who happened to hang out in front of the church everyday was something else.

I know I asked my mother about her, because I remember that she did not understand. Realizations of this nature are difficult to process when you’re young, however I believe that age also allows for a certain kind of acceptance that later years will not provide and we walked on with my pressing the issue.

The only other part of this memory that I believe bears mentioning is that as we passed the church doors, which I would have sworn were closed, slammed shut. I know that mother heard this as well because we both turned and because I remember looking to her for confirmation, perhaps to understand whether or not the doors closing has been another part of that not quite there section of life.

I can honesty tell you I don’t know if I ever saw the woman again. Whether some of those memories I have that are now all jumbled together came after this event or all before I do not know for certain. What I do know is that the true realization that I was seeing and hearing things other did not would come much later in life. The other thing I know is that I kept that card for a very long time and found it many years later stashed amongst some early school papers. I had addressed it to Martha.

Goodbye for now, another end.

Until a time we meet again.

Theories: Being Born with This Ability

Paranormal TheoriesAlmost impossible to even venture a guess at what influences might factor into our births and how they affect the world we live in. I am not much of a believer in astrology, but who can truly say? Does an astrological sign dictate a future or help shed some light on all of the mysteries? I doubt I will ever know.

I know that as a baby I was welcomed into this world and cared for. Was it because I was kind enough to come before the summer months of blistering heat? Having parents who love you is incredibly important when at a very early age you begin telling them about people, animals and those ever elusive “others” who they simply cannot see.

As for the origin of what I can do, I’m afraid one theory would simply be too untrustworthy to accept. I’m afraid that line of reasoning will be all too common in many of my theories and for this I apologies to you.

How is it that one person is born who can see and hear things that others do not, while so many seem to not even notice? I invite you to share your ideas and in the meantime, here are my own theories on the subject:

  1. Just as so many traits are passed down genetically, so are the abilities to interact with other beings and actively participate in paranormal events. I do have some history of this in my own family, though my records are miserably thin and I am unable to trace back more than a few generations.
  1. These abilities are available to all human beings, but are only activated and enhanced through a series of events. Those who have a brush with death, either personally or through someone close to them may experience a new found ability to deal with unknown.
  1. Everyone is born with the ability to interact with the supernatural world and many display signs of this at an early age. Over time this ability is diminished by the necessity to live in a logical world where time is precious and certainty quite valuable.

These are the ideas that seem to be most frequently brought up and confirmed by those I communicate with, though that certainly doesn’t make them true it does feel like the right direction to explore in.

I should note that I do believe that some people see and hear things that really aren’t there. That there are unreliable malfunctions of sorts in the brain that create fictitious events and experiences that are not part of anything but the actual person’s brain. That some people who see ghosts are not actually seeing ghosts at all is a subject I find fascinating in that I believe there could be so many explanations. I do sometimes question if some of the people that have been diagnosed with problems that can cause hallucinations may actually be witnessing something real or misunderstood, but that in itself I will leave to another post.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.

Introduction to the Haunt

Inside Real Hauntings The world we live in isn’t really constructed to deal with the paranormal. Though certainly we have moved into a very different age, there are still so many things we do not understand that to allow this aspect of life to become normal seems next to impossible.

For those of us who haven’t had much of a choice, however, our worlds must allow for such things. The following events are true to the best of my recollection and in some cases witnessed by friends and family. With so many shows, books and movies on the subject I have little doubt that these accounts will have much of an impact, but I can assure you that they did happen.

To begin with, let’s get a few things out of the way shall we? I am not crazy, though I don’t blame you for being skeptical on that idea because many of the experiences I will be sharing will seem too out of the ordinary to accept. That’s okay. To be skeptical is actually quite helpful when trying to take an honest look at any kind of paranormal research. Those who allow themselves to get carried away at the slightest hint of the odd often have skewed perspectives that make for poor accounts later on. I trust that you will simply keep an open mind; that is all I can ever hope to ask of anyone, including myself.

Secondly, though I do welcome any questions or information I am not looking to start an organization or group of any kind. I have had some experience with this in the past and may yet again in the future, but for the time being I am simply trying to understand my own experiences.

I would also like to draw your attention to the Glossary page which will help you to define the different paranormal definitions as I have come to understand them. Most people have nicknames for different things, myself included, however I believe it will be more efficient to stick with specific terms.

While I will do my best to describe certain events, a great deal of what I’m dealing with will be guess work. I do not pretend to have any concrete definitions and I can only rely on data collected over the years to a certain point. This may at times be frustrating to read and I can only ask that you bear with me as I am feeling the same way most of the time.

The last and most important thing I believe you should know, if you choose to continue reading along with me, is that I have come to believe that the majority of my experiences have not been with ghosts, or deceased human beings. Though I certainly believe I have some accounts of this, in truth I am not always sure what it is I am dealing with. The overall experience has led me to believe one thing: there are many, many other beings out there that we haven’t even come up with names for yet.

The construction of this blog will be divided into two main parts: experiences and theories. I will be describing particular accounts so that I can look over the experience and also so that you can attempt to understand what has taken place; I will then describe what theories I can based on these experiences. These theories will be a mix of data collected through captured images, voice and sound recordings and certain thoughts and feelings that I can explain either during or in relation to the events.

I welcome you to join me on my adventure and to always try to keep your balanced between what we know in the logical world around us and those things which we simply haven’t found explanations for. I appreciate your caring enough to stop by and I hope to see you again.

One of the definitions of the word haunting is to visit often or frequent. I believe that is the only part of the definition I can use to sum up all I have witnessed to this point; that something is here I feel most certain of, the who or what I hope to understand and share with you in time. My name is Seline, I welcome you to the world in between.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.
