Forums · What's wrong with me??
Well, there is a certain farm house around the area I live in that has been abandoned since the 30's or there-about. I had heard from a few people that it was haunted and finally got the entire story from someone who lived nearby it. When I heard it, I told my boyfriend and another freind about it and we decided to go up and take a few pictures and have a look around to see if what we heard proved to be at least somewhat true. Before I say what happened to us, I'll summarize the story behind the house as well as I know it, so it all makes sence:
I'm guessing it happened in the 30's or around then. There was an elderly man living in this old farm house who had three daughters, two of which were still living at home. He was beginning to lose a bit of his memory and some of his sanity as the elderly sometimes do. I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason he began to basically go crazy, to the point where he took his shotgun and killed the two girls and hung them in the stairwell going upstairs. Well, his mother-in-law somehow found out and called his other daughter and told her NOT to go home, no matter what her father told her, and she agreed. He did call her later, though, and told her he was very lonely and missed her and that the girls had gone into town for a while, and asked her to come home and visit him. Finally, she agreed to come home. When she got there, she found her sisters in the stair well and ran looking for her father, thinking someone else had done this to them, and maybe he was hurt, too. She went down into the basement and found him down there, sitting in a chair, polishing his shotgun. When she saw him, she realized why her grandmother had told her not to come home, and ran up the stairs to try and get away, but he eventually chased her down, shot her, and hung her up with her sisters. Rumor has it, he also killed many of his own cows down in his basement before he either died or was taken away. I suppose he might have told a few poeple about what happened when asked, including his mother-in-law. Ever since, the property has been up for sale, but no one will make an offer. The house is untouched except for the occasional smoking/drinking teenage party or anyone curious to find out about the house.
Anyway, so we decided to take two trips up to the house, once in the afternoon, so we could look at it and take pictures while it was still light outside, and once at night, because supposedly, you can still see flashes of light in the stairwell from the old man's shotgun.
When we went up during the day, we took several pictures of the outside of the house before going in. The porch was caved in, amking it hard to get into, and all of the windows and doors were missing or torn down. There were holes in the walls and graffiti on them, and trash all over the floor from poeple coming up there to have parties. Beside all that, we found a pair of old 30's style, red (very faded) high heels in separate rooms from each other. There was an overwhelming feeling of dread and the feeling that somethign was watching you very closely. Going into the bathroom and looking around into the shower made all of us very uneasy, like something did not want us there. We all found it very difficult to set foot on the stairs. They were very small and narrow, and twsited around, so that you couldn't see up all the way.We finally got up the nerve to go about halfway up the stairs, but something wouldn't let us go any further. From what I saw, no one had ever been up there. The walls upstairs were white and cleen, no graffiti, no holes, and no trash on the floor. Going back down the stairs, we almost felt stuck...no one wanted to go past the bottom few steps because of the feeleing that general space had. Finally getting back down, we went down the hall and into a room that looked like it might have held a washing machine at one time-something we all felt that for some reason, we should not have done. We went further down the hall, and it became icy cold. Going into the main bedroom, probably the old man's, we all felt that we were being watched even closer than before. We left the room and found the basement stairs, though none of us were willing to go down them. As we were leaving the house, we went into this shed right outside. As soon as we walked in, we all became very dizzy and disoriented, and as we left we felt most of our energy drained. We looked around a few other places, not finding anythign interesting, and decided to go back home because we were all very tired. My freind later told me that while she was on the porch, she had seen in the back of her head a girl or woman wearing an old-fashioned blue and white dress with flowers on it. She was wearing white shoes, the same style as the red ones we had found inside. She could only see her from the neck down, and she was talking to someone else aboput groceries, telling them what to get when they left...ie- milk and oranges.
After we had all fallen asleep at home for a while, we decided to get a few other people to come and go back to the house since it was dark outside. My freind got two co-workers of hers and one of their brothers to come, and we went back and showed them everythign we had found earlier. The guy that came was a big skeptic, but as we showed him around, I think he started believeing us a little. We had him look in the shower like we had earlier, and it scared him a lot. As we were leaving the house again, my boyfreind and I were the last ones out, helping everyone else across the caved-in front porch. We both looked back at the stairs just before we left and both saw a single flash of bright light, seeming to explode form the staircase. After the light I heard this evil kind of hissing noise that sounded more human than maybe, a snake or something. My boyfreind hadn't heard anything. I found out a few minutes later while exploring the barn next to the house, that my other freind had heard the exact same noise. My boyfreind said he heard a scream while we were outside the house near the barn.
We finally left the area and were walking up the path through the feild to get back to out cars, when out of nowhere my boyfreind said something was following us that he saw out of the corner of his eye. Most of us could feel it, but shrugged it off because we were going to the cars, anyway. A few second later, we had just kept on walking and he turned around and pointed to the girl in the very back of the group and said, "it's beind YOU." We all stopped and pointed our flashlights at her. Right as the lights past her, in the last glint of light, we all saw a hunched-over old man, hobbling along to keep up with us. It was white-ish-grey, not solid at all, and was following us in a curious, but threatening manner. Needless to say, we were a bit surprised and everyone screamed at the sight- we all saw it. A few of us only saw a white-ish glob in the shape of a man, hobbling along, a few others including myself, could make out what he looked like, down to the details of it's face. We walked quickly back our cars and stayed for a few minutes talking about everything, then left and went home. We could feel whatever it was stop following us as soon as we left the property line.
Ever since, we've all felt there is something more wrong with us than before we went...strange dreams that no one can quite remember, pet fish die suddenly and the fish and water rots quickly...like nothing we've ever seen- the fish will lose all it's color and begin to rot while the water is completely couldy...a process that normally would take longer than a week, and it happens in less than three hours (we are all big fish enthusiastes, my boyfreind and I are breeding bettas). Pictures fall off walls, mostly religious pictures, ie- pictures of Jesus and such. Bibles will wind up on the floor when no one has touched them. We are all seeing forms and thing out of the corners of our eyes, moreso than before. There is an overall bad feeling with everything. None of us can sleep. We can't get any sleep longer than a couple hours without waking up, and when we do sleep, it's bad...like we're not completely asleep. My freind said in exact words form her online journal, "I dunno i havent been able to sleep and when i do sleep its bad sleep... its scary sleep somthing is wrong." We all fee the same way.
When the pictures come back, I'll see if I can find anything else. I've been living with the same type of thing my entire life, but I hope this time I haven't caused anything serious.
Any suggestions? We could all use the help, and maybe a little peace of mind.![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Wow, that's quite a story. Pretty scary but a lot of elements are consistent with other experiences with the paranormal. I've felt the dizzy, disoriented, draining sensation when in haunted places too.
It looks like something may have followed you home. You might want to talk to a priest or minister about having your house blessed. Say a prayer for protection. There's more information in this thread: House Blessings[/URL]
You might try asking whatever it is to leave. Sometimes that works. I'm sure Kell and gang will have more suggestions.

Whoa! That's some scary stuff!!!! I've felt the same thing...the dizzy, disoriented feeling. It's quite an odd and very memorable feeling might I add.
I have to agree with Kevin, it sounds to me like something may have followed you home. Have you talked to your parents or any other adults that you can trust about what has been going on since you've all gone to that house? I would suggest doing that if you can.
Asking whatever it is that followed you home to leave is a great idea as well. Although you may have better luck with a house blessing.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck and definitely keep us posted and let us know how it's going.

Yeah...well, unfortunatly, I don't know many ministers or preists or anything like that. My parents are...less than helpful. My mother is the skeptical type and refuses to believe anyone about anything supernatural, and my dad, though he believes in it, denies anything to do with it. The only person I can think of to talk to is my friend (crystal's) mom, who does house blessings and such, but she's got quite a bit on her plate right now, with her own house and family being under an attack, of sorts.
Still, two days later, no one is getting barely any sleep and everyone is watching their backs while trying to live life as usual, for the most part, until we can come up with something to fix this.
We've tried asking it to leave, the only thing is, we still don't know entirely what we're dealing with. I don't know if it's getting worse or what. I still have the feeling that, along with quite a few strange dreams, something disturbing happened last night, and I still don't recall what exaclty it was. I do remember being hit or tapped hard on my upper back during the night, but that's happened a few times before we went to that house, and not just on my back (It was Valentine's day that we went), and I woke up this morning with the taste of blood in my mouth and blood on my lip when I looked in the mirror, but can't find any cuts anywhere. A bit disturbing is all, it might just be nothing.
Next week I plan on going with my boyfriend (David) and Crystal to the local library to maybe look through some old newspapers or something that will give us a clue as to what really went on in that house and who those people really were. Hopefully, that will help a bit.

I have a theory and if it's right, well... I'm not sure if it's even something I should be thinking about considering my age. However, if my theory is right I don't care how busy your friend's mom is, go get the blessing. From what I'm guessing (and I really mean guessing) these things are happening to you more than the others. You couldn't go up the stairs cause of one sister's body and couldn't go back down because of the second. The crazy old man (probably still crazy in death) was following you guys as he did the last sister. The flash of light the light from one barrel of a shotgun firing. The hiss probably him cursing a miss. He was following (and probably still is) you considering you walking in there being the last sister escaping. I take that he might be hunting you down like the last sister. The taste of blood in your mouth reminds me of a mortal (fatal) gun shot wound. I can't remember specifically if it was a gut shot that did that but really, thats not important. If I were you, blessing first research later. Um, sorry if I'm scaring you but it's only a theory.
It sounds like the spirit of the old man has possibly followed you home. From what I have read it would help to find out his name from archives and property records. In order to get the spirit to leave you must treat it like any other unwelcome intruder and speak his name in a loud clear voice and tell him to go to the light. Act like you mean it. Do not show fear as the spirit will then turn it into a game.
I would try to take some pictures and get some evidence on film. I'd also use a recorder for EVPs during this process.
If the events continue after a few tries or worsen, I would suggest that you seek out a psychic with experience in this area.![[Cool]](cool.gif)

oh my god that's such a scary story! But I'm such a chicken I probably wouldn't have dared to visit the house in the first place...
It seems like you've got quite a problem, something has obviously followed you home. Except for what has already been said I can only think of one thing to do. Since you clearly are able to get in contact with spirits (on purpose or not), maybe you should try to get help from another spirit. If you go to some place that feels safe and strengthening, and ask sincerely for someone to help you, to protect you, or maybe show you how to deal with the problem, it could work. And I say what I always say, analyze your dreams, no matter how weird they seem, and see if they give you a clue to how to deal with the problem.
I really hope things will work out for you!

Wow, Obake...that's quite a theory...and it does make sence, thinking about it. A lot of sense. I will talk to my freinds mom and see what she can do to help me out. If that doesn't work, I'll see what I can do about getting it to leave myself...and try to pay more attention to my dreams. the thing is, as soon as I wake up, they're gone.
In the meantime, though, I'm going to head up to the library, like I said, and find out something about this guy...like his name and such and maybe figure out how to get him off my back.

Hmm I have a suggestion. Have you looked to see if there are any ghost/paranormal investigation teams in your area? Do a search online and see if you can find one nearby. You could then contact them, tell them your story and they might be able to help.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Hi everyone,
It's always been my beleif and experience that when you acknowledge this presence in your home or around you, you have opened the door. The welcome mat has been set out, so to speak.
Tell this spirit it is not welcome in your home. Try not to enrage this spirit further by being respectful as well.
Connie posted some house blessings to use. I suggest it, if you can get other people with you who know what they are doing.
Another thing is opening a Bible to Psalms 101 and just leaving it there.
Alot of folks think against burning candles but I burn white ones. Only white.
Also, you can look up online about smudging your home. This also really should be done with someone that has knowledge in this area.
Right now, I would try and ignore it and just ask it to please leave you alone. And seek some help soon.
Good luck eyes,
Piggerita
