Geez, Bella. That would have freaked me out!!

IT DID!!!!!!! BUT I guess you can see why I was so freaked out by the voice in the attic(evp). That happened about 4 or 5 weeks after the dream. If I thought the voice was just a voice of the woman who lived here before I do not think I would have been so upset...I would have been upset but not to the point of sheer terror. I could not even tell you guys this because doing that would open up connections that I did not want to make. I am speaking about it now because I really think that I have convinced myself that it was a dream but it was darn real.

I love Paranormal State too! I was just watching a new show on A&E, Psychic Kids, that has the psychic Chip that works with Ryan sometimes and they showed a commercial for the new season of Paranormal State that will be starting on July 28th.

Psychic Kids has Chip and a child psychologist helping kids who are sensitive to understand their gift and help their parents understand it too.

Yes, I saw the commercial for psychic kids but I haven't seen the show yet. I like Chip. He seems down to earth. No drama, lol.

I havent even gotten all the way into the posts you dfirected me to but I had to add this stuff. Now my family aside from the fact that the women can dream the future are as boring and normal as baked bread. They are not into all kinds of new age stuff and in fact they are all old school Christians.

But both my little brother and my cousin have both said to us that they choose to be here. My brother said to my mom when he was 4 " You know I was supposed to go to another lady but I changed my mind and came to you. " He gave all kinds of details and everything. We didnt talk to him about that kind of stuff and it nearly made my mom pass out!

My cousin said to my Aunt when he was 3 that he had a brother and up intill he was 4 he would even talk to empty space. Dont sit on my brother he would yell if you went to sit next to him on the couch. Well my Aunt did miscarry one baby when she was pregnant with him early on. They said she must have been carrying twins. But she never told him that and in fact never talked to us about it.

And then in relation to my post on the other site I had a dream ( here we go with the dreams again) but it had that same quality as the other ones. My son came up to me and said I choose you because you are a awesome person and hugged me. Now I know that sounds cheesy. But I woke up crying and had to go in and hug him while he was sleeping. Especially because his being born is what saved me from cancer. He truly is my Angel baby. Sometimes he just looks at me quietly and seriously for a minute or 2 and I am wondering what he is thinking. He just smiles and hugs me. Its like nothing I would ever have believed.

Again so many questions... I guess you just have to take all your personal experiences and other peoples and put them together and figure it out somehow.

Is it reincarnation?
Is the soul formed in heaven given knowledge then sent to earth?
Who knows but kids can teach us so much .

OK now back to reading this thread. lol
I already burned lunch! Oh the Disboards... If I am not posting away about Mickey now its reincarnation! lmao My husband last night was like what are you doing on there now its 1 am?!

Some even take it further to say that not only are we around the same souls as we've always been, but that we actually choose who we'll be with and what the cirucumstances are going to be in order to learn, and to evolve our spirits. I've read that when you have that feeling of deja vu, it's because, yes, you have seen it before - you were shown it before you were born! Now many think this is complete hogwash and ask why we would ever subject ourselves to some of the awful things we find ourselves living through. I don't know. But it is interesting to think about...

When I was 19, I'd just moved out of my house, started college, began a new job, and the furthest thing on my mind, truly not something I ever thought about at that time - was marriage. (I was going to be a "career girl".) Meanwhile, I met a great guy and we became fast friends; seemed to have so much in common, basic values and stuff; felt like I'd known him forever. One day as he was walking away from me going home, I found myself standing there crying, sad that he was leaving, and heard my inner voice say, "I could marry that guy". Huh?? What did I just say?? Well needless to say, we've been married for 21 years, together even longer. And I can't imagine my life without him. I actually told him this story (I believe for the first time) recently, after reading those books I mentioned above. I don't completely understand it, but I do believe it was destiny, and he agrees.

Here is the photo at the lighthouse in St. Augustine. My son took it way before I saw the GH show. Keep in mind it has been enlarged a huge amount so everyone could see it. We noticed in the orignial photo that there was something but as we enlarged we could make out the face. We have put the actual photo and the enlarged photo.
I took them out.

I know that place well! I used to live in St Augustine. Do you live near there? I didnt see your location posted.

For anyone who might not know its the country's oldest city and really beautiful and rich with history. They do a really cool ghost walking tour through the town at night. They have the guide meet you at the old city gates near the cemetary and walk you with a lantern up and down the cobblestone streets.

I dont live there anymore but I really miss it! That place is one of the most special places in the world to me . It has this vibe to it. Its like New Orleans but instead of the french quarter its the spanish quarter. But looks a lot like New Orleans .

If anyone here ever gets down that way definatly check it out. Its about 45 minutes from Daytona Beach and 2 hours from Orlando.

There is also a castle on villano beach built by a guy named Rusty Ickes. he built the dream years ago after having a dream that God told him to. It was all built by hand and is sooo beautiful. Inside are things that represent all religons and it has 4 spiral towers. No electricity except for a neon light that makes it glow at night. he gives tours for like 5.00 I think. You pass this on the way to St Augustine while driving up the beach. Not far from the lighthouse actually.

OK last thing and I better go start laundry.. ugh!

Speaking of St Augustine there is a place now on St George Street that is now a nautical shop . It was once a old opera house and the guy who works there can tell you some crazy stories. One infamous visitor to the house was John Wilkes Booth and he visited there before assasinating President Lincon. I didnt know this but apparently he was also into theater and was visiting the upstairs dressing area and had etched his initals into the glass window with his ring. JWB and next to that is a hangman thing... Like when you play hangman. I dont know how to descibe it. The Smithsonian has a collection of a few more of these . Apparently he did this more than one time. But I was told that the one they dont have is still upstairs in the window there.

The owner speaks of all kinds of strange happenings. Like one night when he was working late on the books and the old elevator which was out of service came down to the bottom floor dinged and opened. Glad I dont work there!

Wow thanks for telling me this I will definately check it out. Do you know the name of the shop? Does it say it used to be an theatre on it? I will try and take photos.

 

[cinderella73]

Bella~ I will look it up . I might even have a pic on here somewhere. If you were to enter through say the town gates and walk staright down George st it would be on the left further down . It is set back in a corner and it is a 2 story building. I will ask my husband the name as well when he gets home. I will go rummage through my pics and see if I have it here.

 

[cinderella73]

Ok I didnt find a pic but I am pretty sure this is the place .. Its Ancient Mariner Nautical Gift Shop and I think its 107 St George St. . Its been years since I have been there and I dont know who the owner is now. But if you get down tere just ask them and see if they know anything about it. I know the old guy there did. To confirm its the right one its set back a tiny bit and on the left from the city gates further down the St headed toward the cathedral. Its been there for ever. So I am assuming its the same owner. I tried searching the Smithsonian's site but didnt see what I was looking for . But I did find this.

Several interesting stories are associated with Tudor Hall and the family. Once, Junius gave John Wilkes a diamond ring. John, in a test to see if the diamond was real, scratched his initials in the front inside window to the left of the main entrance doors, which can be seen today. As one enters the house from the main doors, directly in front, is one of the back to back fireplaces.

Ohhh I just remembered there is also another nautical shop. Or at least there was. It was a one story one closer to the city gates in a unattached building . Its not that one its the one on the same side further down. Real helpful huh?! lol

 

[wardfamily1]

5 minutes to showtime.

 

[breezy1077]

5 minutes to showtime.

I went for a walk and totally forgot it was Wednesday.

 

[wardfamily1]

I won't spoil it for anyone but I'd give it 7 ghosts. I'll elaborate tomorrow after everyone has had a chance to watch it.

I don't think I'd be that generous, but I did miss the first 20 min. so it was hard to get into it - and I'm in a funky mood. Must be the full moon

I thought it was pretty good. Not scary but had it's creepy moments.

Just a mini spoiler cause I had to chuckle...it was funny seeing Jason jump.

Okay I know the second one I think. It is more toward the middle of St. George and if you are coming from the opposite side to the gates it would be on the right? Am I right. I do not know which one you mean but I THINK and i could be wrong the one I am thinking of is near the old restaurant or bar you know the two story one that looks run down and has on the deck an old Coke Machine(?). How about the Castillo...is it haunted. Took lots of pictures there especially in the sleeping quarters but saw nothing. I am dying to find the JWB initials. Are they covered by plexi glass? I know that at the Old Manse in Concord Mass (Hawthorne's residence for a period of time) his wife Sofia wrote on the glass in her diamond in several places and it is covered by plexi glass.

Well IMHO, we have had a few 10 ghosters in our own lives so a 6 or 7 is probably all we could handle right now.

I think they have only two more shows before we get stuck with GHI. Then again they might have taken the critics to heart and GHI will be improved. I guess you cannot really improve it b/c they are at the whim of the spirits

 

[pennst8r]

So excited to find this thread! We're all hooked on GH here.

Personal experiences? DS was about 2-3 when he said to me "You look pretty, mommy, just like my Baba". Now, my mom had passed away 3 yrs before he was born (the only grandchild she hadn't met) but she was part Russian, and would have been "Baba", but it's not a term I ever used to the kids--they called her Grandma Rose. After asking him some questions, I figured out he saw her "wearing a white costume" in my dad's bedroom where we'd sleep when we visited. He said DH and I were sleeping, but older DS was awake. Asked older DS and he said "It had to be a dream because it sounded windy, but nothing was moving." He said she wore a "white cloak". When I asked my youngest what she did, he said "she gave me a kiss and told me she loved me".

Missed tonights episode--we were at Hershey Park. But Tivo'd and watching it now...

 

[pennst8r]

Breezy, have you ever thought that you son might 'give off' certain energies? I don't remember the term for it (I'm sure someone on here can help me with it) but I remember specials on it, it's almost like a poltergeist type of thing but it's energy when the mind gets 'wound up' . Getting him to remember Grandpa my have got his energy going.

I've heard about alarms going off, lights turning on, etc...

Just a thought, not trying to freak you out or anything.


I'm going to go surf the net to see if I can find the correct definition, I don't know how clear my explaination above actually sounds.

We tease my dad that he either has the worst electrical wiring in his house, or my mom pops in to say hello. Every big day--anniversary, birthday--a lightbulb or light will blow in the house. When they (he's remarried) remodeled the kitchen the whole ceiling light fixture blew. I said she was pissed that he didn't remodel it for her!

 

[pennst8r]

So, does anyone have any Oija board stories.


I'm a tad board....bored/board...get it?

No, seriously, I'm reeaaallllly bored.

sorry I'm replying so much...but I missed so much up until now!

Thank goodness DH isn't out of town tonight...I'd be sleeping with the lights on after reading some of these posts

My grandmother had an ouija board--so when I visited her in FL, their neighbor's daughter and I tried it out. Scared the poo out of me. The first thing it spelled was "your friends mother is resting in peace". the other girl didn't know, but my best friends mother was killed a few weeks before I'd come to FL. It violently spelled out "SHUTUPSHUTUP" when it claimed to be a "shy" ....ghost? ....and we said it had to go away if it wouldn't give us a name. That cost me MANY sleepless nights. Haven't touched one since.


Anyone ever felt like someone sat on their bed while they were sleeping? I used to feel that alot when I was young...and a few times as an adult. I was always to chicken to open my eyes and look...

ok...now I"m going to go snuggle really close to DH and try to sleep.

 

[Planogirl]

I liked this episode. I give it 8 ghosts but I'm being generous because it was such an interesting location. I would love to see the place.

Now onto GHI, the show with the really creepy places!

 

[LadyEMT]

Okay, I have no personal experiences, unless you count the time I was reading Salem's Lot out loud to my EH, and the fire alarm went off! First and last time it ever did that.

BUT! I have always ALWAYS read books and stories about this very thing, I just NEVER feel the vibes. My brother and sister are convinced they have actually SEEN ghosts, my brother actually lived in an old house downtown which very well may be haunted. I believe them, but no matter how may so-called haunted houses I go into in our Most Haunted town, I never feel anything.

Also, I have been in the presence of many people who have just died or are in the process of dying while I am there (I am an EMT) and really, I never feel or sense anything....

I just think the "gene" skipped me...which is fine, because of the nature of my job, and the fact that I am a single mom with a dd who is very very into the supernatural, I would probably never get any sleep!

BUT I love this thread.
