The Bedroom Door Rattles, a Face in the Window

-
Evan had finally decided to move out of the house where he experienced many paranormal events.

Jeb had taken down the last box to his car waiting on the sidewalk. Evan was alone in the house and closed the bedroom door. It began to rattle as if someone were trapped inside and trying to get out! Rattled himself, Evan reluctantly opened the door out of reluctant curiosity to find that the room was indeed empty. After closing the door once more and for the last time, it began to rattle followed by knocks and scratching.

Not knowing how to cope, Evan picked up his phone and dialed whatever number he could! He told the friend that he dialed everything that had just happened. He’d told many of those on his contact list about the goings-on in the house and had solicited support. Although many of the event were unnerving he felt a bit more at ease that others believed him and that he was no longer going insane.

The kind soul on the other line patiently listened while Evan told about this latest and, hopefully, final encounter with the spirits that occupied the house. His friend calmed him down and led him in a prayer of strength.

Jeb came back to the room after waiting outside for several minutes to find Evan talking on the phone. Irritated,  he asked, "Why the hell are you on the phone for?" Evan explained everything after hanging up. They continued out of the house with the last incident fresh in their minds. When Jeb and Evan began walking down the steps to the street, something caught Jeb’s eye.

He stood and stared back at the house. Jeb was transfixed on a face that had appeared in the living room window. How could that be? No one except the two of them were in the house!

“What’s keeping you? Don’t turn around!” He knew that Jeb had definitely seen something. Even when Jeb insisted that Evan look back, Evan refused to even turn to look at Jeb wanting to put the house and all the events behind him. They both got into the car and drove away.

Although, Evan was able to leave the spirits of the house behind, he could never leave behind the memories of the events there – the October visit of phantasmal Native Americans, the events of that one cold Winter morning, the phone interruption, the night he was possessed, this and other experiences in that house that he has to recount. They would be something that he remembers vividly to this day.

Since then, Evan has not reported of any paranormal activity in his new home outside Seattle.
Location: Seattle, WA, USA

The Lingering Scent of Vanilla

"... The first thing to hit me was the strong scent of vanilla. I commented to Mike about the vanilla scent asking if it were a new car freshener. That's when Mike just came out with it: He had an attachment!" In this story, a friend had a paranormal experience in his early twenties under a bridge known for suicides. Fast forward years later, he wants to experience the same "thrill" of having a paranormal encounter, but this time he makes a serious mistake and the spirit attaches to him. Another Trip to the Bridge Last year, I hosted a small impromptu dinner of a few friends. It was October with Halloween drawing near. Our discussions around the table centered around ideas of what costumes we were going to wear on the 31st, if we were going watch the latest Paranormal Activity movie and the retelling of ghost stories. As usual for this time of year I told the story of the uninvited passenger to my guests, and how it was the closest encounter with the p

The Uninvited Passenger

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 - Part 3

[ The following story is a first-hand, cautionary account about the Ouija board and does not promote it’s casual use. It is NOT a game. It is NOT a toy. If you decide to use the board, please take spiritual precautions such as saying a prayer before use. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! All names are fictitious to protect the identities of those mentioned in the story. ] After contacting Ya-Ya we used the board less and less often. What we thought was fun and a curiosity at first start started to become serious. Yet, because of that same curiosity, we would ask Ya-Ya questions if something were to happen that we could not explain. One such reason was when one of the other cousins, who was not participating, came down with “something”. Background Although the Philippines is for the most part Christian and predominantly Catholic, each region’s animistic and shamanistic folk beliefs still continue until the present day. Aside from being religious, Filipinos tend to be very superstitious as well.
