True Stories


I wanted to state all of my paranormal experiences are 100% true. None of my experiences I personally had are false. I have no reason to make any of it up. Either a family member or friend or both witnessed almost every experience. I will also be placing on this stories page experiences from team members and very close friends who I know did not fabricate a story. Most of all these experiences occurred in my old house in Venice, Ca. I cannot specify the location since the house was sold many years back. I did go back to the house to talk to the new owners about an investigation, but was declined. Thanks, Tony

Falling Picture – This was a dangerous incident I’ll never forget. It was one afternoon and my father and I were sitting on the big couch together and I was doing my homework and my father was reading the newspaper next to me. Above the couch we were sitting on was a very heavy solid wood framed oil picture of a fall setting directly above us. This picture was so heavy, that my father had it hanging on some very big steel hooks he has screwed into them wall studs. The picture itself had a very thick cable attached to it for hanging. My mother was sitting directly across from us on the smaller couch reading one of her books. My mom stated something got her attention and she looked up. As she looked up, she watched the picture rise up and then yelled to my father look out! My father pushed me forward and him self and the picture came down and almost hit us both in the back of our heads. My father and mother and I looked at the hooks in the wall studs and you could literally hang a child form it since they were so strong and my father checked out the cable in back of the picture frame. It was still sturdy and intact. The only way this could have come off those hooks, is if someone were to actually lift this picture up. Mind you! We live in earthquake country and this picture had never ever come off the wall in any earthquake. Not sure what had happened and why, but all I know is something tried to hurt us.


Ghostly Balloon – This is a freaky one that took place in my same old house in Venice, Ca. I did not witness or see this occur. My parents had this encounter while in their room. It was around Christmas time and my mother was pregnant with my little sister. My father that afternoon had taken my mom to a Santa Monica festival. My parents stated while lying down in their room talking they experienced something strange. At the foot of my parents bed across the room was my little sisters baby crib. My father had tied one of the fair helium balloons on the crib before they laid down. While they were talking, the light in the room flashed and went of and on several times. They stated they just laid there and watched this occur (the lights had done this many other times before an electrician was called in several month back to check it out and everything checked out ok!) They stated the balloon started to sway as if there were an open window or some sort of air coming through the room, but all the windows and the door were closed. The balloon had come lose and floated to the top of the ceiling and stopped. It then started to go straight down as if it were loosing air, but was not. It then raised back straight up and stopped. At that point my parents were a little bewildered. The balloon then began to travel across the ceiling and stopped above my father. It then floated down above my father, it rose back up. It then inched over above my mother and floated down above her as well. It then did it one more time to my father and then proceeded to float back over above the crib, where it floated down and then back up where it stayed. I’ have no clue on how to explain that. Again. My mother is a believer in the paranormal and my father is not! But he could not explain what he saw or experienced that night.


Ouija Board – Many years back in our house in Venice, Ca. I was about 10 years old or so! My aunt had purchased us a ouija board for Christmas. It was on a Saturday when my cousins had come over to visit. My parents and my aunt had gone next door to visit my grandfather and grandmother while us kids played at my house. We had this real creepy room in the rear of the house that we were all afraid off. This room was very scary and my mom and us kids were afraid of it. Anyhow, this room was always cold and always eerie! The door to the room was an old wood Venetian door and it had no door jam to it since we (mom and us kids) moved in (the house belonged to my step dads family). You can actually open the door both ways (one way all the way and the other enough for a person to get through) since the door jam was gone and the handle to the door was broken and you can turn it and turn it. The wood Venetian slats you can actually put your fingers through to see on the other side. Well! My cousins wanted to scare us, so they set up the ouija board in the middle of the room of the den. I did not want to go with them, but of course they talked me into it. We stood around the board and my cousins told my sister and I to put our fingertips over the uija planchette. We did and my one cousin began to ask questions, “Is anyone here with us?” “Give us a sign” ect. At one point it got really cold and my cousin asked “Are you here?” At that point I was so scared and at that point the planchette moved and it went to yes! I thought was my cousin was moving it. But the look on their faces scared me. Then they asked, “Did you die here?” Then all of a sudden the door to the room slammed shut and we pulled our hands away from the ouija bored and turned to the door. At that time the planchette moved to yes again and we all screamed and ran for the door. I was horrified like you would not believe and one of my older cousins started to cry. I didn’t blame her. We started to push on the door and it would not budge! While all this commotion was going on I put my fingers between the wood slats to look on the other side of the door thinking it was my aunt, mom or dad trying to scare us, but there was no one their! We all turned back around and there were two rear big back doors to this den made of wood. The door had white silk curtains on it and the curtains began to sway like someone turned on a fan (which there was none in the room) we saw a red glowing light on the curtains and it was getting bigger and bigger. We cried out several times and we huddled together and all of a sudden the door we were pushing on just opened up by itself and we ran out of the room and I did no return to that room for many, many, many weeks after. My parents destroyed the ouija board after that. Mind you! The back of the house you could not get a car headlights back there or no one could of flashed a red light back there without us seeing it. That actually was the last time my two cousins ever came over. I can’t explain it and to this day whenever I think or talk about it gives me goose bumps.


Violent Spirit – This is another incident that just cannot be explained and this one was also violent. Back in the days when my sister was a bit defiant as a teenager. She would argue from time to time with my parents. One day I was doing my homework in the living room and I heard my mom and my sister arguing in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen and stood between my mother and sister and was telling my sister to stop. Out of nowhere on of the cabinet hinged doors literally flew off the hinges and hit my sister in back of the head. Now! If you know cabinet hinges they have a pin that holds them together and the pin goes through the top, down. There is no possible way for this cabinet door to come of unless it was broken. My father had come home and he looked at the cabinet door and he said both pins had come out. How?? I just don’t know how. Go to your kitchen and look at your hinges and ask yourself, how?? To this day we will never know. All I do know is it stopped the arguing real quick!


Dreams – This is a very weird and unsettling one I have for you. I use to have this same reoccurring dream for many years living in Venice, Ca. The dream started out with me waking up in the living room and hearing voices coming from the den in the back o the house. We would fall to sleep in the living room sometimes while watching TV. I would look in the direction of the Venetian door and it would slowly open and I would slowly begin to get dragged by my feet by and unseen entity. I would try and wake up my brothers and sisters, but I could not talk. I would remember trying to hold on to the corners of the walls and furniture to stop myself from going into the room. Right when I would get to the opening of the door I would weak up in a cold sweat and very scared. I would stay up the rest of the night. Well! Through out the years I had this same dream. One day my sister who is 5 years older than me and my brother who is 4 years younger that me we sitting down in the living room and I brought it up. You should have seen the looks on both their fasces. They then confessed to me that they had been having the same exact dream!


Ghostly Mom – It was summer time and it involved my mother, older sister, little brother and myself. We had just come in to eat lunch and my mother asked my sister to put on a movie for us to watch. Not to happy with the request, my sister proceeded to do it. My mother then went outside in the back yard to hang up the laundry. My brother and I was sitting they’re giving my sister a hard time and she was having problems with the VCR. She was trying to attach a wire that had come off in the back of the TV when my brother and I saw my mother come in and walked into the hallway and into her room and closed the door. My mother had a blank look on her face and was empty handed. She also did not say a word to us, but my sister had just barely seen her and told my mom that she could not hook it up. She said “mom” then walked over to my parents room door and knocked and repeated herself again, then she walked in and to her surprise no one was in the room and just as my sister turned to walk out my mother came in from outside and had a basket full of clothes from the line and said “what are you yelling for?” There is only one way in my parent’s room and there are bars on their windows.


Ghostly Voice – This one also occurred in our old house in Venice, Ca. This incident targeted my sister again. It was my mother, little brother, my older sister and myself this time. My mother finished the laundry and she always folds our clothes and leaves them on her bed for us to put away. She was calling to my sister and of course my sister was being an older teenager with attitude. We were all in the living room and my sister came out of her room and while walking into my parent’s room mumbling under her breath. She then walked out of my parent’s room and her face was pail white and her eyes were open very wide. She had this horrified look on her face. My mother asked her what was the matter! My sister then stated, “Something just told me to get out! My sister described it as a woman’s voice and it was raspy sounding. There was no one else in the house and my mom was with us at the time of the incident.


Unknown Man – It was during summer vacation when this incident occurred. It was my mother, little brother and myself who witnessed this incident. My mother was on the couch reading and my brother and myself were on the floor playing with our G.I. Joe’s. A male figure passed through the dinning room, through the living room into the hall way and into my parent’s room and we heard the door close. We all stopped what we were doing and my mother grabbed the both of us and pulled us out side. My father was just pulling up when this occurred and he saw the panic on my moms face. She told him what happened and he told us to wait outside and he went inside very cautiously. He came back out and said there is no one in the house. Now! Just to let all of you know that we lived in Venice and during those days you had to have bars on the windows. So we had bars on the windows and if you saw our rear door, it looked like something out of a medieval movie. It was a solid wood door and also had 3 locks on it plus a wood bar that goes across for extra protection. The door was locked and bared and all the bars on the windows were secure. Around this year we all have had several sightings of partial and full apparitions. We still can not explain what or who it was


We have had many encounters in our old house in Venice over many years. From violent encounters, to full body and partial body apparitions, to things moving and voices. Many people witnessed all of this. Most of my friends would not step foot back into the house. My father started out being a skeptic, but is now a believer. Of course he is still very rational and believes there is an explanation for everything, but he just cannot explain what had happened in that house.


MOre To Come!!!
