Since 1932, there has been a woman spirit that visits when the theater is dark and quiet.  She is believed to be a woman who was a patron, and who also had dreams of becoming a performer, died during one of the performances.  They say her singing can be heard, day or night.  Once, during a performance in 1994, her voice was picked up during a live performance, and they said she was singing along with the performers.

Howard Hughes, supposedly haunts the second floor in and around what used to be his office, and is now a large conference room.  Employees have reported cold spots, and sudden passing of air, like someone walking by.  Twice, there have been reports of a tall male entity, walking around the corner to what used to be his office, and sometimes there is even the scent of a smoke.

Alexander Pantages, was a very gentlemanly man, and his ghost is said to have helped an older employee of the theater, after she fell down in the theater when it was dark, and she could not see.  Apparently, he took her by the arm and escorted her to the door and when she turned the lights on to thank him, there was no one to be found. 

I did not experience any paranormal activity while I was there, but it sure would be fun to go back, and see what I could find now.

Residual Energy Imprinting – Hauntings, are those hauntings that appear to be like a movie. You can see them, but they don’t seem to be aware of you, they just continue in to play over and over the same scene that caused the imprinting. The more powerful or intense the scene that occurred the greater the chance for the imprinting into the surroundings is imprinted. For instance, the battle at Gettysburg. There have been many sightings of ghosts there, and there is a good chance that if you go there, you WILL see one. It doesn’t have to be a traumatic event either. Some residual hauntings are caused by a person spending so much time in one place. An example would be, a friend of mine who had a little old lady ghost, who carried her groceries through her hallway several times per week, or the ghost at the piano where the player must have spent hours and hours of his time playing.  You are leaving imprints every day in your own homes.  If you ever wondered why it feels so good to sleep in your own bed, well, its not that your mattress is the best in the whole world, its that you spend most of your time in that bed.  You personal energy imprinted in that spot that feels so good when you sleep.

Well, that is all I know, and I am sticking to it. If you have any experiences with residual energy imprinting that you would like to share, please email me or leave me a comment.

Throughout my entire life I have had experiences of the psychic and paranormal kind. I can remember some events as far back as age one. Over the years I have also enjoyed sharing these stories with others and giving the goose bumps to anyone within earshot. Well, ever since we moved into our current home these experiences have not been limited to just myself.

I have five children ages 20, 13, 11, 4, and 2. My oldest is in college in Arizona and has not been affected. The four at home however have begun to have experiences of their own. Sera is the oldest of the four at home and has been affected the most, with Jake coming in at a close second.

Approximately three to four weeks ago my youngest son JC started waking up screaming for me at odd hours of the night. When I would get to his room he would be trembling and crying, and the only word that came out of his mouth was, “Monster!”  At that same time my eleven-year-old son Jake also started to hear someone walking around on the second floor of our house and also right there in his room. I receieved a text one afternoon from his cell phone to please come up stairs and when I got there he was pale as a ghost. He described feeling like someone was in the room and that he even heard its foot steps walking around right next to his bed. Jake and JC both sleep in the same bedroom.

They weren’t the only ones seeing and hearing things. I have been staying up late doing research for this site and have seen shadows walking up and down the stairs, and have heard foot steps walking up and down the stairs as well as from the second floor. I also found out my husband has also been seeing the shadows on the stairs and hallway but just ignores them.

Well, two weeks ago at about 1:00 a.m. I woke up with the feeling that someone was watching me. Well, when I opened my eyes I was startled to see my oldest daughter Sera, standing at the foot of my bed. I asked her what it was that she needed and she didn’t reply, but she walked out of my room very quickly. I followed her and found her walking so fast it could have been considered a jog and she was walking the perimeter of the kitchen, dining area, and living room. She kept mumbling and had a blank stare on her face but going round and round again. She must have gone around about four times when I grabbed her arm to see if maybe she had a fever-induced-sleep-walking-episode. Well, she wasn’t warm and she seemed startled that I had touched her. I asked her what she was doing and she said, “I-I don’t know…..the girls…the girls…..” Well, she proceeded to walk around about ten more times until she finally just snapped out of it. She looked a little surprised to see me standing there looking at her. I asked her if she was okay and then she said, “What?” She then began to tell me that she was upstairs sleeping and heard someone in the upstairs bathroom running bathwater. She said that she got up and went into the bathroom to find two young girls sitting on the edge of the bathtub playing in the water. She said that when she looked at them one of them turned to her and looked at her. She said that the girl just stared at her and then she came down stairs and that is all she remembers. She didn’t remember pacing the entire down stairs area or waking me up.

So this last Thursday we left Sera at home alone to do homework while we took Jake to baseball practice. When we arrived at the fields I noticed that I had left my cell phone and had a gut feeling that I would surely need it. Jason had his phone so I figured there was no need to drive all the way back home. Well, about twenty minutes later Jason gets a call from Sera who is hysterical because while she was sitting upstairs in her room she heard someone run up the stairs and they were now walking back and forth in the hallway. She was scared and had locked herself in her closet, and she was crying. She then saw a shadow figure walk past her doorway twice, and then again a few minutes later. I stayed on the phone with her and sent Jason to go and get her. While I was on the phone with her she was able to gain the courage to get out of the closet and hide behind her bed. She said that when Jason came home something ran across her door and into Jakes room, but when Jason checked the rooms he found nothing and all the doors were locked.

Okay, so what is going on? I decided to call my dad and ask if he had felt a presence or anything while he was here for four days in August. He said that he only heard some heavy footsteps from the second floor. So now I have had to bring out the sage and the paint rock, sage all the rooms and chalk everyone before they go to bed. We also gather in a circle and say a protection prayer together. This all seems to be working as far as getting them to go to sleep, but we continue to have these visits every day and night

Saturday morning I drove Jason to work at about 0550. When I got back I made him some breakfast tacos and was going to drive them back to him. I had just finished the tacos when I heard Sera scream. I ran upstairs to her room and she was crying hysterically. She said that someone came up the stairs and something was standing in the corner of her room. She said she tried to use her protection spells over and over, and even closed her eyes only to find that it was still there. She then said that she imagined herself surrounded and protected by a purple light and when she opened her eyes it was gone. 

That same day my dad called me to tell me that he is now getting the feeling that there is someone here that wants us to acknowledge “his” presence and that we should also know that “he” is here to protect us. I asked dad who “he” is but of course he would not tell me. So I say, “How does one acknowledge that someone is there when you don’t know who that someone is?” Well, he replied by telling me to put an apple or some apple cider and a comic book upstairs and to tell “him” that we know he is here for us and thank him. He still did not offer a name but he did say that he knew who it was. I guess I am going to have to just ask “him” myself when I get the courage. 

I believe that there is more than one entity here. One may be here to protect but the other I am not so sure of.  I believe that if a spirit is there to protect you then the energy you feel from it should be just that, positive and loving. The feeling that she gets from this presence is definitely not a good one.
