The Dream Catcher

“…He heard the footsteps make their nightly path up the stairs. This time the footsteps stopped just short his door. Instead of following their usual route, he heard angry stomping and screaming as the footstep descended into the basement…” In the late 1990s, Wilmer moved into a duplex in Eastern Washington state with his friend and her daughter. “Just around the time when the movie ‘ The Blair Witch Project ’ hit the theaters,” he told me.   The first months after moving in were peaceful. But after two, he started to hear heavy footsteps, made by boots that only a man would wear, come from the basement. They would continue up to the first level and go further up to the upper floor where the bedrooms were. The footsteps would come up to his door, when it would open, and continue to the adjacent room where his roommate’s daughter slept.   At first he thought that his roommate was checking up on her daughter since her schedule had her wor

Since it's October with Halloween at the end of this month, I decided to detail an experience I had with the paranormal around this time of year several years ago. The odd fact of the encounter was that it was not associated with any particular place. It was, in fact, connected with a particular person.   In the late Autumn of 2004, just before Halloween, I was in between jobs. I was not overly worried about my employment situation because I knew that it was just a matter of time. I had enough experience in my field that I was receiving e-mail messages from recruiters and companies that I could extend my "vacation" as I thought of it. Instead of looking over my messages or searching through job listings, I spent much of it with two friends: Tina and Yvette.   "... It was the drive that morning when something followed us..."    I met Tina through a mutual friend. She was living with her boyfriend in a house that our mutual friend's father owned. After tal

Just Say “No” to Ouija – Epilogue

In the following years I have only used the Ouija, or a talking board, a few times. But even before I even decided to use one again, at least a decade would pass. It was when I hung out with Tina, my friend who could communicate with the dead. The most recent time I’ve used the Ouija was when a friend brought it to a bar. I brought it home. Nothing strange happened. I was at work. Ron was watching TV during the day. He reported feeling someone or something breathing into his ear. He was so frightened that he bolted out the front door and surprised our neighbor who was sunbathing in the next yard. Ron told our neighbor that he wanted to get from fresh air and after talking with the neighbor held calmed down. But it was only after a few hours did he get enough courage to go back inside the house. Some days after Ron told me what had happened, I took the board and left at the steps of a local church. Now, you might say that burning the board was what I should have done. But after

Mentions of those passed

A short story from yet another friend of mine who recounted the passing of his uncle. We Remember Him While Andrew sat on the stoop of his relative’s house, he and his cousins caught up on on their day-to-day lives. Andrew was there to celebrate the life of his uncle who had just passed away. As they chatted, one of them mentioned the uncle’s name and how the uncle had helped them during their formative years. They were very grateful. At this time, all of Andrew’s cousins and him were well into their chat, when a sudden gust of of wind blew over all of them. The weather was calm that night. They were unnerved as they felt as if they were in the presence of their uncle. Andrew said, “It was as if he came by to say ‘good bye’ one last time.”

From H.E.L.L.: Three Girls Play with the Board

I’ve documented the experiences that my cousins and I had during that fateful summer with the Ouija board in a few posts beginning with Say "No" to Ouija , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 and Epilogue . In this episode from SyFy’s series “ Paranormal Witness ” three young girls convince their parents to buy them a new game, an Ouija board. Paranormal Witness, Season 5, Episode 3: From H.E.L.L. One of the girls is bullied at school and turns to the board to cope. When she uses it alone, the planchette moves on its own. She asks for help when dealing with a bully to find out the next day that the other girl can no longer attend her school. Delighted, she uses the board alone again. The planchette (the heart-shaped pointer) moves on its own and lets her know that she has a friend. Talking to the board after school becomes routine. Soon odd goings-on begin to happen… One sister felt someone grabbing her; one sister hears indistinct chanting; and her father starts to change. Her fam
