Ghost Updates

Posted by scarygeek on January 26, 2010 at 19:44 pm

So it has been almost 5 months now, and things are still not back to normal.  My family and I have been dealing with this paranormal activity for far too long now, and I am starting to get very annoyed.  I am not longer scared, just worried about my daughter and the fact that we both get very little sleep most of the time.  She has been very moody because she is a teenager, but mostly because she can’t get any kind of real restful sleep these days.  She is a good student and a very good person in general, I just feel so bad that she has to deal with this every single day. 

Last night she woke me up with a text message at 11:30pm.  She was very upset and was crying.  She asked me to come down stairs because it won’t let her sleep.  So, once again, I kissed my husband good night and went down stairs to try and talk her through it all.  When I got down there she was crying, and I asked her why.  She said, that she is not sure why, but she always has to wait for all of her brothers and sister to fall asleep before she can even think about sleeping,  She feels like she has to protect them, and thinks it is because she is the oldest one.  I completely understood how she felt, because this was me when I was her age, except that I have me for a mother and Jason for a father.  We are trying to get her to see that this energy feeds off of fear, and that we need to stay strong, and make it go away.  She was still upset, and I think this not sleeping is finally taking a toll on her, and she just wants to sleep.

Well, now I am getting angry, and I decided to go one further than the circle, and I grabbed the sage, gave her a piece and kept one for myself.  I lit them both and we walked every corner of the house, especially the closet and stairway.  I ordered it to leave and she repeated after me…..and we did this through the whole house.  Then I had her come sleep with me in my room so that we could both get some sleep.  The house seemed to feel better afer the sage, and we were able to sleep.  We will see what happens tonight.

Ghost Updates!

Well, it has been since the 5th of January, when I thanked Chris for being here in our home, and asked him to leave us and be free.  I didn’t think that I would be able to tell if he had actually left us or not, but I honestly do not feel his presence here anymore.  So, I am happy that he has moved on, and I hope that he has found peace. 

One of the things I have noticed is the negative energy that is felt throughout the house.  Everything about it is negative, and does not feel right at all.  My husband and I are living in the upstairs bedrooms, that are supposed to be our kids rooms.  All four of our children, ages 2 -13 are sleeping downstairs in the master bedroom.  They will not come up to the upstairs bedrooms if they are alone.  My youngest son still sees something in the hallways and stairways, and when he sees it, he sure lets me know.  I have stayed calm when he runs to me, and he now is able to tell it to go away, and he does.  It is the cutest thing. 

The other night I mentioned the negative energy to my husband, and I blamed it on the house.  I told him that we need to get out of here, and that I don’t like it.  Well, the house did not like what I had to say because right then, the glass light cover in the bathroom dropped to the floor and shattered into a hundred pieces.  Luckily, no one was in the bathroom, but it kinda freaked me out, not to mention my kids.  Coincidence?  There are no coincidences.  This was in direct response to what I was talking to my husband about.  I told him we need to stay strong to fight against this negative energy, and that is just what we are doing.  It is really starting to wear on us though, and is now draining our own energy. 

We have continued with the circle, the prayers, and the sage, and I can’t even imagine what it would be like if we did not do these things to help ourselves.  My children are getting better at dealing with the ghosts and everything else, and I have been getting more sleep since the beginning of January.  I just wish I could make it all go away.  I fear that it will not be any better until we move, and Jason and I are working on that every day.

Haunted Places – Alcatraz Prison

Posted by scarygeek on January 11, 2010 at 11:10 am

When I was a child, I had an aunt and uncle that lived in Santa Clara, California.  We often visited them, and when we would, we always went to San Francisco as part of our trip.  My parents liked to take the tour boat that went around Alcatraz, and I remember it like it was yesterday.  I also remember, a very scary helicopter ride over Alcatraz, that turned out to be more fun and interesting than scary.   

Alcatraz Prison is located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, on Alcatraz Island.  The water surrounding the island is known for its extremely cold temperatures and strong currents, which made it almost impossible for a prisoner to escape without drowning, and making it an ideal place for a prison.  Construction of the prison began in 1859 and continued through 1912.  In 1933, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, declared Alcatraz a Federal prison that would be home to some of the most hardened and most problematic prisoners in its system.  There were many incidents of suicide, murder, and violence within the walls of Alcatraz, and these incidents resulted in many more residual energy imprints left behind for us to experience.  

Alcatraz Prison is now a museum, and a National Park, and there have been numerous reports of experiences by Park officials as well as visitors.  Silvia Brown, a well known psychic/medium, with her well known Spirit Guide Francine, have also been invited guests of Alcatraz, and a she even performed a seance in an attempt to free some of the souls imprisoned within the walls of Alcatraz today.  Park officials have reported hearing voices and screams in what used to be the Hospital ward.  There have been reports of footsteps, voices, screaming, and crashing sounds coming from both Blocks A and B.  The stressful and traumatic events that took place within the walls of Alcatraz have left intense impressions, some of the worst felt in the area of 14D, where the ”steel boxes” were kept.  These steel boxes deprived a prisoner of almost all of his sensory stimulation, and I can only imagine the traumatic experience that would have been for any length of time.

In 1963 the old prison buildings began to crumble, probably as a result of the weather and elements of the San Francisco Bay, and the prison was closed.  Today, you can take a guided tour of the prison, and walk around the prison grounds.  I hear that the grounds and the views are breathtaking.  I hope that someday I will be able to go back to Alcatraz, visit the museum, or take the guided tour.  Maybe, I could even take a few really good pictures.

Fear of Ghosts

Posted by scarygeek on January 5, 2010 at 23:39 pm

As most of you know, I have had to deal with ghosts for most of my life, and have never really had anyone around to help me to understand them.  I was never taught that I should not to be afraid, and the fact that I loved scary movies even as a young child did not help my situation.  I grew up being scared of ghosts, and even though I knew I should not fear them, somehow I was conditioned that way.   I am trying very hard now, to recondition myself, not only for me but for my children.  I want them to remain open to them, and to embrace the gifts that they have.  I can’t go back and change how I reacted to my past experiences, but I can work toward changing how I react to them now.  Lately, I have found that I can take photos of spirit orbs, just by asking for them to show themselves.  I am very thankful for this gift, and hope to get some really good pictures to post on this site.  I always feel a very positive energy when taking these pictures and it is a really good feeling.  The point I am trying to make is that we should not fear them, not even the negative spirits, because we are in control.  If we remain calm the negative spirits cannot become stronger by feeding off of our fears.  We need to remain in control, and set boundaries and rules for our spiritual friends.  When it is late at night and they want to talk, just tell them, “now is not the time” and ask them to leave, and allow you to rest, and if they are negative energies, let them know that they are not welcome and that they must leave now.  You must be firm, yet loving, and kind.  Trust in your faith that they will follow your directions, and that you are in control.  Having negative or positive energies in your home can be very physically and mentally draining.  I believe that spirits require lots of energy to present themselves, and they draw upon the energies around them, including your own energy, especially when they wake you up at all hours of the night.  I also believe that we will be seeing a lot more spirits, ghosts, and orbs as we get closer to our day of enlightenment (2012).  Paranormal activity of all kinds will become more and more common, and how wonderful that we have the Internet and the ability to share our experiences.

What is an Orb?

Posted by scarygeek on December 30, 2009 at 14:16 pm

I have read that the spirit or ghost orb was rarely ever talked about, and was not considered a spiritual energy, ball of energy, or whatever you want to call it, until after the digital camera was invented.  They say that as the digital camera became more popular and more frequently used, orbs also began showing up all over the Internet.  Well, while orb photos are becoming more common, it can also be said that since it is so much easier to download digital photos on to your computer than to scan and upload your old 35mm shots that, that is the reason we see so many pictures on the Internet.  I have seen orbs or unexplained light energies in my old photographs as well. 

I believe with all of my being, that these anomalies are of a spiritual nature, and not just water droplets, dust particles, and insects.  They are the life force energy of people and other living things, or ghosts in the shape of balls of light.  It is said that the orb shape or ball shape takes much less energy to manifest than a full apparition or larger form.  These spirit orbs are found hovering over the heads of family and our pets, and it seems that they increase in number when there is a lot of activity going on, especially celebrations like birthdays and Christmas.  We took photos in our house when there was not much going on, but felt a presence and have gotten orbs in the general area of the the energy we felt.  We have also played with kids, and had a lot of fun putting trimming our tree at Christmas, and found many orbs which appeared to follow us and hover over our heads.  Some even try to get in on group pictures.  Their energy is felt and the pictures are just proof that they are here with us, taking in our positive energy, and enjoying being in our presence.

They are transparent and often have a dark spot or spots in them, and have been known to have what appear to be faces in them.  They are sometimes colorful and can be seen in white, reds, blues, greens, and sometimes are even multicolored.  Sometimes they are even photographed moving quickly through a room or even through doors and walls.  I don’t believe them to be harmful in any way.  We have become so comfortable with our spirits that we welcome them to join us in our activities so that we may take more pictures, and always seem to be there.  We ask them to protect us, and even to guide us at times.  We feel lucky to be so aware of them, and surrounded by so many.
