hi. i've always believed in ghost my whole life but i've never actually
had
anything happen to me. until monday night. i came home from work and my
nephew was sleeping in my bed because he was staying over. so i slept
in my
spare room. i never sleep in there i just keep my coats and junk in
there
and i have a mirror i keep in there to use when i get ready. i layed
down
for bed and not even after 5 minutes, this voice said in my ear,
"raaayyyy".
so i opened my eyes and looked around then sat up. nothing there. so i
went
into my room to see if it was my nephew playing a joke on me, he was
sleeping. i woke him back up and he said he didn't get out of bed. then
last
night i slept in my room because my nephew went home, i closed that
door to
the spare room. this morning when i woke the door was wide open. i
retraced
my steps over and over again in my head and i know i didn't open that
door.
what am i to do?? record these happening to make sure they are really
happening?? confront this thing?? when i left for work this morning i
said
out loud i was leaving, please leave me alone i haven't done anything
to
you, please go. maybe i shouldn't have asked it to leave, maybe that
will
make it mad. also my grandmother just passed last monday, do you think
it's
her trying to communicate? the only ray's i know are my ex-step dad and
this
girl carrie that used to stay with me, for like two weeks, and her
boyfriend's name was ray. she slept in that room. my landlady's parents
used
to live there but she said they didn't die there and i don't think her
dad's
name was ray. please advise me on what i'm to do now. i closed the door
again when i left for work today. so i'm waiting to see if it's open
when i
get home today. i will also test it again tonight. please any advise on
what
to do would be greatly appreciated. thank you. kelly clement

hi Jamie, my name is Megan, and for some reason, I
don't understand why, but I have been through many
ghost experiences.
My first one was when I was about 12, I was in my
friends atic, looking and walking around. When we
happend to look up, we saw some dark, black, evil
looking figure type thing coming towards us, so of
course we ran out of there. We never went back. We
know that no one else was up there with us because
everyone else was gone, except for her mom, who had
been watching t.v. So we know that it wasn't human, or
whatever.
My second one, was when I was about 16 or 17. I was
with a different friend,in a different town. It was
summer and we were walking around. We just happend to
walk right by the funeral home, that was right across
the street from the Catholic church. We saw a male
figure that had a sort of glowing look to him. He was
starring at the church, then looked at us. He repeated
that for a while with out ever saying anything. Then
he turned to enter the funeral home but he didn't
enter the door, he just walked straight into a wall.
I sometimes have these bad feeling that something bad
is going to happen. One night I stayed up worring that
something bad was going to happen, something to do
with a car. I told my fiancee to be carfull at work,
he was a construction person. Well little did we know
that at 5 in the morning we had came a cross and
accident where he works. Two teenagers ran into some
construction equipment, we were the first ones on
sceen. Well one of those boys are paralized for life,
and the other is doing just fine.
Like I said earlier, I don't understand why this
happens, it just does. I would appreciate it if you
would write me back on what you think. Thanks so much.

Dear Jamie,
I had another ghostly experience. It occured last
night. I was driving home from another town, and I was
with my mom and two year old brother. We were out in
the middle of no where, when my mom was talking to me.
I was driving. I was looking at the road ahead of us,
when I saw what appeared to be a girl around the age
of maybe twelve, she was wearing a red dress, and she
had a dog with her. It looked like , gosh i don't
know, it looked like a big dog, i don't know what
kind. Maybe half wolf, half dog. Anyway, natuarlly, I
slammed on my breaks thinking that I was going to hit
them. Well when I did that they disapeared. My mom was
yelling at me, not understanding why I had slammed on
my breaks. They didn't see it but I did. I know that i
was not haulitinating. I know what I saw.
Please email me back, so I know that you have
recieved this. Tell me what you think.
Thanks so much,
Blue_Rose !

Jamie,
This may be lame compared to your other
stories but I thought it might be interesting. My
wife's grandparents live in Maryland and while on
a visit there we took a trip over the state line
about twenty miles to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania ,
where the Battle of Gettysburg was
fought during the Civil War. One attraction that
some cleaver resident of Gettysburg came up
with was a walking tour of all the haunted spots
of Gettysburg. There was one particular house
on the tour where the only civilian to die at the
battle was killed. Her name was Jennie Wade and
she was struck down by a stray mini ball while
baking bread. The guide said the place was
haunted. There were many stories of people who
took photos of the house and their pictures did
not turn out right. She also said that some
people's cameras have broken. I am a skeptic, so
I
told my wife stand in front of the house so I
could take her picture. Immediately after I
snapped
the shot I dropped the camera on the ground. It
broke the door off where the film is loaded. I
think that I was just klutzy....... but sometimes
I wonder.

I think you're going to like this story, Jamie. I wanted to send it to
you to post on St. Patrick's Day or whenever, cause I'm not sure what's
going on here and how long I'll be on line. But I wanted to make sure
you had this. And it's just what I was looking for. Enjoy! Love,

***********************************************
THE BANSHEE by Linda Davis
St. Patrick's legacy of Christianity gave Ireland its image of "saints
and scholars". But what of another legacy of Ireland..... a more
spectral one?
The banshee or bean-sidhe (woman of the fairy) may be an ancestral
spirit that forewarns Irish families of their time of death. The
banshee can only cry for these five major families: The O'Neills, the
O'Briens, the O'Connors, the O'Gradys, and the Kavanaghs. However,
since all the intermarriages of the clans, more families have been
included.
The banshee usually appears in one of three forms: a young woman, a
stately matron, or a raddied old hag. These represent the Celtic
Goddess of war and death; Badhbh, Macha, and Mor-Rioghain. Her attire
is a grey-hooded cloak, a winding sheet, or the grave robe of the dead.
She can also appear as a bean-nighe (washer-woman), and can be seen
washing the blood-stained clothing of those about to die.
Her mourning call is heard, usually at night when someone is about to
die. The wail of the bean-chaointe (keening woman) can be so piercing
that it shatters glass. Depending on the area, the keen can be a low
pleasant singing, the screeching sound between the wail of a woman and
the moan of an owl, or the sound of two boards being struck together.
The banshee can also appear in human form. In 1437, King James I of
Scotland was approached by a banshee who foretold his murder at the
hands of the Earl of Atholl. There are records of human banshees or
prophetesses attending the great houses of Ireland and the courts of
local Irish kings.
