Contest 3: Freakiest Ghost Experience

[Golden Hawk]

You will hear Elmo singing, then a man laughing (at me by the way). Speaking with a German accent. The laughing and talking is the actual Ghost.

He thought I was funny to jump up and record him. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this.

German Accented EVP

Fantastic!!

I wonder what your little one would have said about some "odd" man playing with her Elmo toy.

I wonder, if Mattel has a gurantee for over use by a ghost?

ive got one =D when i was about 11 i had just came back from south of france a few days ago and the uk weather didnt seem to appealing to the weather and beaches of france. it was gettin late one night and i rememberi had to help my grandad paint his garden fences the next morn so i decided to hit the sack. i distincley remember it being extremley hot in my room for some reason as if i was literally in a bath of boiling water and i couldnt get to sleep i was really uncomfartable so i decided to sleep without the covers, about 5 mins l8er i heard heavy breathing to the right of me and i looked up to see a man in a suit just starin at me with no emotion at all in his face when i seen him i heard like a sharp screech as if it was my shock comin out in a sound ( its hard to explain) i stared at him for a couple of seconds and he smiled but it wasnt normal his eyes shown no expression of a happy face and his smile was immense it seemed to strecth from ear to ear, there was something so horrible about it i immediatley grabbed my covers and wrapped them round me and begun to cry, as soon as i had the covers wrapped around me it sounded like a storm was going on in my room so i took a quick glance out and as soon i did the noises stopped and the guy was still smiling i started to ask my guardian angel ( i was 11 hehe) to help me i was literally crying my eays out to the point that the covers were gettin wet i then seen the guy literally start to fade away but as he did his face changed into something resemebling a gargoyle and he said something as he faded in an accent ive never heard before, it honestly sounded like ' you havent beat me'' i thought i seen the same man in the mirror a couple if times afterwards and once i swore i seen him watching me from across the street then one day it just literally stopped... i was so confused but thankful at the same time, ive told my mum and dad and they said theve never seen anything like it before it seriosly scared me half to death but im glad it was over when it was

I've had asimilar event happen to me. This is the latest experience I've had. I was sleeping and it must have been 3 am. I was sharing a room with my little cousin at the time due to an altercation that I had at home. Back to the story. So I wake up frantic with a short breath, and I feel pinned down to the bed. Now I know several may jump the gun and claim sleep paralysis, but I was able to move my lower appendages. I had pressure on my upped torso. So I look up, and there is this demon looking thing, on top of me grinning from ear to ear. At this point, I'm shocked to the point that I was trying towake up my little cousin by slapping his pillow with my arm, all while this entity was pouncing on me. After like 5 seconds that felt like an eternity, I let out a scream and my uncle came in. I told him that I was having a bad dream, but this was no dream at all. This is just one of my experiences, ive had a group experience with my mom, her friend (a clairvoyant) and I. That one is the one I'm going to submit, as soon as this pesky customer walks out. Of the store.

[sjm41688]

This is the story that I'm submitting.

One night, between 11:30-12 midnight my mom, her friend (the clairvoyant), my step brother and I had arrived home from a family party. When we got home, my mom made coffee for her friend and I and we sat on the dinning table talk. The all adjascent to the dinning table had a portrait of the last supper hanging on a nail. At this point, my step brother had gone upstairs to sleep. So as we're talking, we all notice that a little kid with a read cloak stands next to me and then we see him vanish. It all happened in about 10 seconds but we all witnessed and aknowledged the little kid. So at this point, we all call my brother and then we realized that he had gone to sleep. So at this point, we're all puzzled and suprised and my mom turns back and keeps talking to her friend, who was sitting in front of the wall and she noticed that the last supper was inverted. She brings it up to her friend and her friend was pale. She said that what we saw was a demon that had stayed in the property and that it was evoked by the previous tenant and that I had to be careful. I was in 7th grade at the time, so I was still young. That night, as everyone went to their room my mom went downstairs to get something and the trash bin was placed on top of the stove. I was up till 6 am until the sun came up and then I napped. This is when it all began. After this incident my mom decided to share with me that the previous tenant was into santeria (which is an esoteric religion bwith african roots based on animal sacrifices for the many saints that they believe in). At this point, I was scared sh!tless because it started explaining a lot.

Her friend told me to be careful because I was very vulnerablethat the entity stood next to me for a reason and that it wasn't a coincidence. So time passes. These are just sub stories that all link up to my traumatic experience.

As time passes, we all had an uneasy feeling, so my mom starts digging up info on the building and the land lord starts revealing facts little by little. It appears that a little baby had fallen off the balcony from the apartment next door and had passed. Also, the land lord told her that some guy hung himself in my room and that the neighbor nhad murdered a men and thrown him in the miami river.

My mom just told me to pray and that noting would harm us and we kept on praying every night for protection. Then one night, I'm walking to her room and the stairs were divided into two stair cases. One that led to a little flat survice I'd way up and then the other stair case that led up to the rooms. There my mom was told by her friend to place amirror to deflect all the negative energy/entities from coming up stairs. So my mom placed the mirror and as I'm walking to her room (which is right across mine) I didn't turn on the light in the hall. For the light in the hall, we had a switch at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top. So then as I'm walking, the light flickers on and I see this little kid except he had pointy ears, had a red cloak and he was grinning from ear to ear. Then he exposed his claws and iat this point I was screaming hysterically and I broke up my moms door. After this, my mom had her friend bless and cleanse the house. Ever since then, I've bee having encounters.

Side note:

A year before that, I lived in Puerto Rico for 6 months and my mom had a friend there who liked to visit this place called "el centro". This place was in the middle of the mountains. It was like a gazebo but a fairly large one. Once again, without my knowledge on what occured at this place, my mom took me and it was something bizarre. It was a place where mediums and clairvoyants would reunite and contact spirits. I remember before they would allow a spirit to enter their body, they would ask if anyone felt ay sensation or energy. I told my mom scared that I had felt a sensation come frombehind me. As the medium was possessed, the entity proclaimed that it had enterd the room right by where I was by pointing. At this point, I wassoo scared that I will never forget that feeling. As the night progressed, one medium got possesed and the entity asked "is there anyone named Silvio here" I started shaking and my mom pointed to me and the lady said that I was going to be "a fisherman of souls" tand that I should keep a fishing rold in my room as a guide for spirits to find their way and communicate with me. I think it was this event that triggered everything.

I've always had questions about the little red demon, since another family member of mine had an encounter with one. Except that this one was more physical. The thing was dragging my cousin and his brother had also witnessed the red hand and claws gripping my cousins foot. My aunt barged in the room and saw my cousin's foot scratched up and she asked my other cousin what had happened and this kid was speechless. She read the bible the entire night and my cousin told me "I will never forget that feeling ever again".

[Golden Hawk]

Being a freak ain't bad, I admit I'm a freak, and other do to.

I, on the other hand, am not a freak.

Nor are any of my family freaks.

According to my mother, who was a high school teacher and later counseler, with a Masters in Psychology and Upper Education Relations:

"You married weird and raised weird."

That's good enough for me!

[moonfirefae]

Hello all, me and JN have once again decided to start a contest. This one will be the freakiest paranormal experience you have had. You are alowed one entry, though you may share as many stories as you like. If you share more than one story you will have to make it known which story is the one you are submitting for this contest. I hope you all enjoy reading about others freaky experiences, and if you have one please share! If anyone wants to be a judge just ask me.

Rules:

1. No fake stories.

2. No ones experiences are to be criticised. You may discuss them, be skeptical, but no criticism.

3. Only one story is counted for the contest, as explained before. You still may post more.

Picture it, a late autumn night, 1994. I was sitting on the couch in my small house(so small, you could see every room but the bedroom from the living room) with one of my friends talking. It was between midnight and one in the morning when the light next to her started flickering very fast. Less than three seconds later, the curtains I had laying on a table got picked up and slammed down right in front of us. It was real loud too, because the curtains had metal rings in them. We both saw them physically picked up by something invisible and literally THROWN down! I screamed at this point and at the same time, an arc of white light swung up in front of us in the living room and zipped up through the ceiling. We both sat there stunned for a long time before we could speak. The next half hour was spent discussing the nature of this poltergeist like spirit. We couldn't agree on what we thought it was, but we both agreed that was one of the weirdest and most violent spiritual experiences we've both had.

This is my submission for the Freakiest Ghost Experience. I have an attached EVP that goes along with it..(my proof). Please read the story, then listen to the attached audio file. This was freaky, not scary. I am not a great story teller, but here it goes...

German Ghost

This is just a quick story. I am a 38 year old male, 6 years in the Army and I think I am pretty grounded. As you may be able to tell by my name, I have done a lot of field research on EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena).

EVPs are voices found on a recording device that were not there when initially recorded. This is just a hobby of mine and my family (Wife 37, Son 14, Daughter 10, and Infant boy). We go to cemeteries and talk to the "Spirits" out loud. Some times you get a response, sometimes you don't.

This particular event happened early this year after one of our research sessions. We went to an old Lutheran Cemetery. I found an area of about 25 graves from the mid 1800's that were written in German. I can speak German, so I asked them to talk in the Digital Recorder and I would be able to hear them later.

Shortly afterwards, we left the Cemetery and excitedly went home to review our Evidence. After checking the evidence, we found nothing out of the ordinary (Sometimes you get them... Sometimes you don't).

About a week after this, we (family) were sitting at our kitchen table just talking about nothing in particular. All of a sudden my infants "Talking Pizza Elmo" went off in the next room (living room). It sings and dances a bit when the button is pressed. It was sitting all alone in the middle of the floor. We all looked at each other and kind of giggled. We just thought it was low batteries, barametric pressure...etc.

It went off again after a few minutes and again a few minutes after that. (By the way, it had brand new batteries in the toy.) The third time it went off, I grabbed my digital recorder and stood about 2 feet over the singing Elmo. It went off several more time and I stopped recording. My family stood very quietly in the kitchen as I recorded.

They record as well so they know the drill. Please listen to the attached audio file. You will hear Elmo singing, then a man laughing (at me by the way). Speaking with a german accent. The laughing and talking is the actual Ghost.

He thought I was funny to jump up and record him. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this.

German Accented EVP

Wow, great story, I would've been freaked out if the elmo thingo started coming on by itself. I'd be like "ARGH! ELMO HAS GONE TO THE DARKSIDE!" Lol, yes I'm random. Anyway, freaky EVP, perhaps you brought home more than just a blank recording that night, perhaps you picked up a hitchhiking spirit.

[Kar-zid]

I hope I'm not too late to contribute. I've had some serious computer issues of late which are directly related to my haunting, so I haven't been on in quite a while.

I've mentioned some of my problems before in another thread, so I won't go in to full background detail. I will focus on one night in particular because it has been by far the worst night I have experienced since living in this house.

I came home at about 7 pm. Day like any other day. Fed my dog, made some dinner, watched tv, went online for bit. At approximately 9 pm things started in. The light on the table next to me went out. Nothing odd about that except that when I went to change the bulb, I saw that the light switch on the wall had been flipped off. This has happened before, so I wasn't that concerned. I turned the light back on and said out loud "ha ha very funny." The light flicked off again. I turned the light back on and decided ok...not dealing with this tonight, so I put a piece of duct tape over the switch. No sooner did I sit back down, but my kitchen light flicked off. At this point I was more annoyed than frightened. Like I said, I've been dealing with this problem for some time now, so nothing up to this point was a genuine surprise. I taped the light switches in the kitchen as well and sat back down.

At this point things calmed down for about 10 minutes and I thought things were over for the night. Next thing I know, my dog goes running into the entry hall and starts barking his head off. This dog is the sweetest, most loving animal ever, and would never harm a human. He was barking and growling like his life was being threatened. I've seen him get agitated and bark at the goings on in the house before, but never like this. When I walked into the entry hall, it was like stepping into a walk-in freezer. Room temperature was about 80 degrees, and it was a huge shock. I could literally see my breath...not a common event on a summer night. I grabbed the dog and went back into the kitchen, closing the doors that lead into the hallway and dining room behind me.

I sat back down and tried to comfort the dog as best as I could, but he was still very upset. For his own good, I put him outside and closed the door. The second I closed the door, my computer made a loud whirring noise, and shut itself off. I tried to restart, but couldn't. At this point, I was past annoyed...past mad...I was downright scared.

I sat back down on the couch and was trying to get ahold of myself, when the doorbell rang. Now I'm not one for answering the door at night, but I was so shocked by the ring, that I jumped up and ran back into the icy entryway. When I looked out the window at the porch, there was no one there. I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest. I stood there for a second, then turned around to see that my kitchen light had turned off. The duct tape I had put over the switches was lying on the floor. I felt my body shaking and had to fight back the urge to cry.

I really didn't know what to do. I had no intention of letting whatever this presence is chase me from my home, but I was terrified to stay. I didn't bother turning the kitchen light back on. I just sat back down on the couch and stared over at the door to the entryway. I'd say I sat there for about 10-15 minutes just staring, waiting for something more to happen. I had just decided that things were finally over when I heard the voice. It said something (I have no idea what) then laughed. I've heard this voice before, but on this night, after all that had already happened, it was too much for me. I decided it was time to leave.

I stood up to let the dog in, and glanced back over at the doorway when I clearly saw a face peeking around the corner at me. It didn't duck behind the wall immediately and I got a good look at it. Male, dark hair, dark eyes. From the location of the face in the doorway, it was tall...over 6 feet. I was absolutely speechless and seemed to be glued to the spot where I was standing. After it ducked behind the wall, and my brain was able to actually comprehend what had just happened, I ran to the back door to let my dog in. He refused to come back inside. I grabbed my purse and keys, grabbed the dog, and went out through the inner garage door. I pushed the button for the garage door opener but nothing happened. I finally lost it and started crying. I felt an icy chill run down my spine and heard the same voice I'd heard earlier whisper "don't go" very clearly in my ear. I ran back into the house, through the entryway (which I noticed afterward had returned to normal temperature), and out the front door. Needless to say, I didn't return that night.

I went back the following day to get some things and spent the next night away from home as well. Since then I have had a Native American cleasing ritual performed, and things have been much improved, but not completely resolved. Honestly, I doubt they ever will be.

Wow, you're pretty brave to have lasted that long without breaking down in tears, very freaky experience... There's no way to explain any of that, except that you had a very frightening spirit in the house.

[Kar-zid]

I, on the other hand, am not a freak.

Nor are any of my family freaks.

According to my mother, who was a high school teacher and later counseler, with a Masters in Psychology and Upper Education Relations:

"You married weird and raised weird."

That's good enough for me!

Lol, I've been called weird by tons of people, HIGH 5! *raises hand*

Picture it, a late autumn night, 1994. I was sitting on the couch in my small house(so small, you could see every room but the bedroom from the living room) with one of my friends talking. It was between midnight and one in the morning when the light next to her started flickering very fast. Less than three seconds later, the curtains I had laying on a table got picked up and slammed down right in front of us. It was real loud too, because the curtains had metal rings in them. We both saw them physically picked up by something invisible and literally THROWN down! I screamed at this point and at the same time, an arc of white light swung up in front of us in the living room and zipped up through the ceiling. We both sat there stunned for a long time before we could speak. The next half hour was spent discussing the nature of this poltergeist like spirit. We couldn't agree on what we thought it was, but we both agreed that was one of the weirdest and most violent spiritual experiences we've both had.

Woah, that's pretty freaky, I guess the spirit really got your attention with that. Is that pic from the experience or another time?

[LayMan]

Hi All,

Newbie here (and a cynic) with a ghostie type true story.

In about 1975, I was about 14 or so. A few of us had made friends with girls away from our flats so we used to go there some evenings to while away the time and try to 'get along' with these young ladies.

Anyway, we used to cut out the back of our estate under a dingy, badly lit railway arch and walk past a derelict petrol station. We noticed, one evening, a tramp dossing in a corner, surrounded by cardboard and general detritus. He shouted something and we ignored him and carried on. We saw our girlfirends, didn't 'get along' as usual and came home. The next night, much the same thing but we shouted at the tramp and he stood and shouted back.

He was a round sort of tramp, nearly as wide as he was tall, dark brown coat tied with string, grey ragged beard and long grey hair (for the Brits out there he looked like a rancid Buster Merryfield). Later nights he ventured further from his nest waddling up the forecourt and shouting something intelligible at us. This was all very real, experienced by three of us and nothing out of the ordinary, we saw the guy in daylight as well as the evening and he mooched about, like tramps do.

Every evening for a week this went on until one Friday night we got there a bit later but went past and shouted at old trampy. He came out of his nest and started chasing us, we ran across the road and between a park on the path towards a library and a ring of flats with alleyways through them into a courtyard (and the objects of our desires). We sprinted across the road but he still came on and the faster we ran, the more he seemed to catch us up. Our sprint went a bit faster as we panicked and we headed for one of these rat runs through the flats. As we got through the rat run, this guy was standing at the exit, inside the courtyard, hands on hips, smiling, calm as you like. We turned and fled (fast!) back the way we came and there was no tramp to be seen.

To get there before we did, he would have had to overtaken us, which he didn't. Then he'd have to run around a large municipal library or go left by at least 50 metres to go through the next rat run and run back towards us in the courtyard, and he didn't do that either. So, how he got there I don't know but it was quite a shock. As in all good ghost stories, I don't think we ever saw him again, perhaps from a distance maybe, but not up as close as that night, that's for sure!

All totally true and unexplainable by me.

Hi All,

Newbie here (and a cynic) with a ghostie type true story.

In about 1975, I was about 14 or so. A few of us had made friends with girls away from our flats so we used to go there some evenings to while away the time and try to 'get along' with these young ladies.

Anyway, we used to cut out the back of our estate under a dingy, badly lit railway arch and walk past a derelict petrol station. We noticed, one evening, a tramp dossing in a corner, surrounded by cardboard and general detritus. He shouted something and we ignored him and carried on. We saw our girlfirends, didn't 'get along' as usual and came home. The next night, much the same thing but we shouted at the tramp and he stood and shouted back.

He was a round sort of tramp, nearly as wide as he was tall, dark brown coat tied with string, grey ragged beard and long grey hair (for the Brits out there he looked like a rancid Buster Merryfield). Later nights he ventured further from his nest waddling up the forecourt and shouting something intelligible at us. This was all very real, experienced by three of us and nothing out of the ordinary, we saw the guy in daylight as well as the evening and he mooched about, like tramps do.

Every evening for a week this went on until one Friday night we got there a bit later but went past and shouted at old trampy. He came out of his nest and started chasing us, we ran across the road and between a park on the path towards a library and a ring of flats with alleyways through them into a courtyard (and the objects of our desires). We sprinted across the road but he still came on and the faster we ran, the more he seemed to catch us up. Our sprint went a bit faster as we panicked and we headed for one of these rat runs through the flats. As we got through the rat run, this guy was standing at the exit, inside the courtyard, hands on hips, smiling, calm as you like. We turned and fled (fast!) back the way we came and there was no tramp to be seen.

Then he'd have to run around a large municipal library or go left by at least 50 metres to go through the next rat run and run back towards us in the courtyard, and he didn't do that either. So, how he got there I don't know but it was quite a shock. As in all good ghost stories, I don't think we ever saw him again, perhaps from a distance maybe, but not up as close as that night, that's for sure!

Wow, very weird... Old Trampy must've either been Old Spirity or Old Magical.

well i've had quiet a few experiences but the one im submitting was a physical one

Me and a friend who had recently moved had alot of houses being built up around him (mostly grassland but there were 6 houses being built nearby) , so we decided to go exploring the empty houses (the builders would leave the doors unlocked). Now this one particular house , he had decided to go around the outside and me in the inside.

When entering one particular room (a future bedroom i guess from the design) I began to feel nervous for no real reason, i could hear my heart beating in my chest yet there was no real reason for it; I saw my friend outside the house (he walked past the window) , so I decided to get out and trust my instinct that something was amiss.

As i was leaving , a stone comes flying from the bedroom (as in something chucked it) and hits a wall near me , as if It was a warning to stay away/get out.

Never the less after that i decided no more exploring empty houses.

Weird thing is, the house was recently built so there shouldn't be any haunting's or anything

Just the same i learned my lesson, not going on other peoples property without permission.

Wow, that's really, really freaky... That little kid/demon thing would've freaked anybody out! It seems like they really want to hurt you and your family...

I know, it was a real life changing experience. I would like to know if anyone else has encountered such a thing or if there is any lore on small child looking demons. In my country, many people have encountered leperchauns or gnomes and many have been haunted by them. There was actually a breaking news video in the small town where my mom is from about a leperchaun suspending a kid in the air and scratching him. With the scratches showing up on the kids chest. Can someone maybe elaborate or explain what this thing if, if you have any info.

Lol, life-changing experience for sure. Perhaps someone died in the making of the house, or perhaps someone died on the land or in the general region of the house. I guess they didn't want to be disturbed.

Wow, that sounds like you live in a really weird area. I saw a video not too long ago which supposedly showed a leprachaun appearing out of the bushes at night, then someone screamed, the camera went shaky and the 'leprachaun' ran. I personally have not heard of what you're talking about before, though I'm very interested now.

I just noticed that this competition has been going for a lot longer than I said it would... Oh well, we got some more great stories. Me and JN will now go through the stories and pick our votes out.

Woah, that's really creepy! The orb is all you could see, but he saw a full white apparition...

Yeah in this house everyone senses spirits in different ways, I usually hear them or feel them and sometimes I get a picture of them in my mind like its sent to me. My partner he sees them for sure and my daughter who is 5 now she sees them hears them and can interact with them. I have seen her reacting to being tickled when there is no one I can "see" doing the tickling. Call it what you like but I have had too much spooky stuff happen to question it anymore. My son doesn't seem to be very sensitive and in most ways thats a good thing I think. Between the three of us who are sensitive the sleep lost is just mind blowing .

A new kind of wierd thing that has happened today is interesting not really scary though just more unexplained. My partner works nearby at the Cadbury Factory as security and emergency responce. Today when he came to the the gardener gives him one of those postal slips that you get when you miss a delivery. Apparently he found it in the garden and funny enough it actually belonged to my mum. Wierd or what! She was only saying to me on the phone how her delivery hadn't come yet. She lives a fair way away too. We have had some high winds of late that could account for it being there we have supposed but the thing is what are the chances my partner who is the only one who would know who it belonged to would be there for the gardener to give it to? It kinda takes luck to a new level. When I told my dad this morning he was totally baffled and my mum is kinda spooked out as some other spooky stuff has been happening to her lately that made this chance event seem a little spookier than usual. Anyway she went and got the slip and her parcel end of story. Still that will play on my mind for a while.

I forgot to say that on rare occasion I have seen spirits but its only been a few times.

Very odd indeed.
