Re: I THINK MY NEW HOUSE IS HAUNTED

annmarie...thanks for the info...i remember reading something years ago that was similar. i always had interest in the paranormal and u.f.o.'s and such. (saw one once) but only had one experience with "the other side" at my brother-in-laws house next door to my old house. thats a story for later when i get more time. anyway i think right now my wife and daughter are looking at it half-heartedly...should i come up with actual footage or audio.....i can here the stampede for the front door already
....maybe i'll wait for them to go down her sisters for a few days and see what happens. now that i'm thinking about it, i have to talk to my son. i dont recall him adding his 2 cents about whats been going on and he's home the most as he's having trouble with lyme disease.i'm pretty sure he knows the girls have seen something...and for him to have that information and not capitalize on it by scaring them any chance he got is highly unusual....hmmmm...i wonder if he too has seen or heard something.gotta check when i get home.
as far as paranormal teams.....i know i wouldnt have those t.v. guys over...a friend used to work for one of those shows and he said alot was faked. makes sense since im sure you cant find paranormal activity every week and without a steady supply of haunted houses you have no show. if things continue or step up in occurances i may call houdini911 and see if he knows of a local group. not sure i want anyone as i dont want the new neighbors to think we are nuts
As for a paranormal team, I would find someone reputal in your area. I wouldn't go to a team either, that was tv produced, even though I made comment on TAPS LOL...I love watching the show, but if you review the videos on the SCI FI website, you can find fault with much of those videos. One being at the military base and Jason was first sitting infront of the bathroom door and the next scene he was sitting by the railings, then the next scene, his chair is infront of the bathroom door again....HUH? Of course, I did not notice while watching it on tv...I had to review it again on the website. Even though some of the shows do make you wonder, many are just a waste of time producing!!! I do like the one of the lighthouse in St Augustine though!!!
Most importantly....I hope your son gets well soon!
If your family will be out of the house for a period of time, do it then, this way they won't be inclined to wanna' watch it and then freak out if you did capture something. You don't want to scare the kids. My boys, they were freaked out and they WOULD NOT go upstairs, every light in the house has to be on just to go upstairs!!!
Now, let me give you a bit of a background...I believe I know who our "GEORGE" is....my biological father died in Nov 1998. 3 of my siblings and myself (there are 5 of us total) went to his funeral in Meriden, Connecticut, where he lived. At the funeral home, we were talking to the funeral director as we were upset about something...the overhead light started flickering and I just made a very nasty remark, knowning in my heart and soul, it was my father responding to our outburst!!! Take note, I had not seen my father in 25 years (his choice) and did have a step-father who was my Dad and a wonderful man. So, seeing my father in the coffin was the first time I had seen him in 25 years.
Now, my father passed away the day after Thanksgiving in 1998. His funeral was the first week of December. Upon returning to Virginia Beach, where I live...things were normal as ever, so I thought. One night, after the kids went to bed and I wasn't back home, maybe a week....I was at my computer and hubby was laying on the couch...all the lights were out. Only light came from the compuer screen and the tv. We were living in my townhouse I owned at the time. I had lived in this house since 1991 when I returned from duty in Italy and bought this house for my dau and I to settle and plant roots. I met my hubby 4 years later and he moved in and we had two sons at this time.
Well, behind me was the kitchen and I heard the water faucet turn on. I froze in my seat, then said, "Ron, where are you?" He said, "Right here." I said, "Right here where?" And he popped up his head from the couch. I said, "Then who is in the kitchen?" He said he didn't know, as the kids (my dau and our two boys were asleep). I said, "Well, someone turned on the water in the kitchen." He gets up, I was too scared LOL... and sure enough, the kitchen faucet was on and he turned it off. I thought that was so wierd, as if anything had ever happened in my home, I never noticed it and never felt uncomfortable....little things occurred from then on, but I really did not pay much mind to it.
Well, March of 1999 (just a little over 3 months from burying my father)...we moved into our current home. (hubby had too much junk LOL)....and this house we live in now is only 3/4 miles down the road from where I had my house. Now the townhouse I lived in, at one time the land was part of a POW Camp where they kept the German Prisoners and another time, the furniture store now on the same land, was a TB hospital. People who work at Willis Wayside Furniture have stated they have seen a solider walking down the stairs (original since it was used as a headquarters during the war and when it was a TB Hospital.) They have also seen nurses walking about and other things...pretty cool stories!!!
Anyways...we had not been in this house long when we started hearing noises. Our computer room is below the bedroom we gave our boys, this room is now my office upstairs.
My boys were napping on the couch (so I thought) and I was in the computer room, next to the entrance to the kitchen. I heard what sounded like a cookie sheet drop on the kitchen floor. I sat at the desk for a bit, then got up and peeked around the corner. Nothing on the floor, nothing out of place. I thought I was hearing things and blew it off. My oldest boy walks in and said, "Mom, did you hear that?" I said, "Hear what?" He said someone dropped something. I told him I heard it too, but everything was ok. Some months later, I was playing with the boys on the computer. I had just bought a headset with a mic on it and we were recording voices. They were having fun hearing themselves on the computer!!! My youngest boy was heading back into the living room and ran back to me and grabbed my arm. He was 4 at the time. As a parent, you know when someone or something scares your child and he said, "Mom, I just saw a man walk that way." (pointing to the dining room). I peek around one side of the room into the kitchen and noone, then walk were my son said he saw the man and found noone. The man would have come from the front door area and walked straight into the living room. Still to this day, I have always keep my doors locked, be alone or home with my kids, even in the day time. So, I know noone came through the front door. I asked my son what did he look like and he did not know (being 4, I guess it would hard for the to understand the guestion fully to give the answer I was looking for). I asked what he was wearing and he said nothing, which makes sense to me...cause if a ghostly figure, they would appear to be wearing nothing and a child that young would not know to say CIVIL WAR CLOTHES, A HAT, DRESS, etc.....well, that incident came and went but to this day....he will tell you the same thing he said that day on what he saw.
My dau would complain to me that someone was turning her tv on and off while she was sleeping. She did not like sleeping with her tv on and when it was turned on, it would wake her up. She said there were times she got up and turned it off, but other times when she was about to get up, it would turn itself off. She's on her own now, living in Guam. She's in the Navy...but she will tell you someone was in this house!!!
Over the years, till March 2006 ... we heard footsteps upstairs, sometimes heavy, sometimes light. Doors would open and close. Lights would flicker, not all at the same time. Once in the living room, one lamp started to flicker. I checked the bulb and it was snug as a bug. Then the other lamp started to flicker...I thought that was wierd. We got use to these noises, sounds, what have you.
In March 2006, my mother moved in with me. The room I use for my office upstairs now, was the room I gave her. She passed away in this room. I refuse to let anyone but myself sleep in this room. I have an air mattress in the room...it's so comfy!!! Anyways...before Mom passed away, really wierd things were going on in the house and there were even times it felt very evil!!! It's just the way things occurred and the creepiness about the air of the house. It's really very hard to explain. I am friends with a few guys and gals that were part of DCMag (a Washington, DC based paranormal team). The owner, Al Tyas, was once a member and investigator with a Virginia Paranormal group. I had spoken to that group once and they were gonna' come over and investigate our home, but I was scheduled to be out of town that Memorial Day for a job and then they also had a conference that came up...so we cancelled and I never rescheduled....but Al was one of their members. Al does not do DCMag anymore, someone else has taken over for him...but Al also wrote a book...I got my copy!!
Anyways, I was telling them all of the stuff that was going on and that is when Al said I should record. I didn't have digital at the time, only thing I had was my Video Camera which is analog. That is when I got the evil sound. Al said that was not very good....something evil was in my house.
Now, I wonder if I brought my father home with me from his funeral and he stayed with me until my mother passed. Mom and Dad had a love / hate relationship...they so loved each other, but could not live together. Dad once told me that Mom was the love of his life. I wonder, being he was in the spirit world, he came home with me knowning she was going to die in my home? But none of these thoughts came to mind until after my mother passed away, because since then "George" has been very quiet! I like to think he's still here...but I can't say for sure...but I have not paid much mind to any noises, as I said, we ignored much of it, cause we were use to hearing them...every know and then though I will get the feeling of someone hanging over my shoulder and once, since Mom died, I smelled Gardenia's...she loved Gardenia's and I have nothing in my house with that smell!
So, I can't say if George is still with us, the boys no longer are scared to come upstairs, maybe they are older now...I don't know...but that fear they had, it's like once Mom passed on, they don't have that fear anymore. They are 11 and 13 now.
While alot of this was going on....the boys and I enjoyed taking pics around the house and outside...infact, my youngest who saw George would beg me to ORB HUNT!!! LOL Even though I had to explain to them not all ORB photos are that. You can take a pic of a room, then shake a towel in the same spot and take another pic...OMG ORBS!!! LOL
So, there were two times we caught something....I will post both times here. The first one, I sent to a man who anaylsis photos and he said it was a bug..>Sorry, but I don't think so!!!! The first pic is over our garage taken from the back yard and that window on the right, is my bedroom window. The stack you see below the window does nothing...we found out just last year when replacing the pipes in the kitchen, it was attached to the kitchen pipes. I can't remember what hubby said it was for, pressure release or something? I don't remember...and then where the object is...it's infront of the vent thing for the garage....what do you think it is?
The next couple of pics are George, after George and then a blowup....what do you think? I did not realize I had captured anything until I downloaded the pics and my sons were watching as I did it...and we all GASPED!!!
Anyways....Ron and I have an interest not in ghost (spirits)...but of UFO's as well and how are crop circles made and who made them, things like that!!!
I know as a young adult, when I felt like things weren't going so well, I would always get the smell of my Nani's apt building. She lived in NYC. I felt so safe with her and I truly believe when things weren't going so good for me, she would come around and let me know she was with me! But it's funny, I have not had that smell in so many years!!! So, I guess Nani knows I am ok
Let's us know what you do and if anything else happens.

then i slowly lifted the page....nothing...searched around a couple things on the ottoman...nothing. after i touched it ...it stopped ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
needless to say i didnt tell the wife about the knocking or the page moving...they would freak and want to move. cant imagine why a 16 yr old house would be haunted as noone died there...however the last people who lived here moved out after only a1 1/2 yrs....guess i'll have to research the grounds and see what we were built on ...you know like in the movie poltergeist...... 
oh by the way..i'll also keep you up to date on any info i find about the grounds..so far i got back to the 20's and it was farm then.....
) Do it at night so the ghosts can escape to the Other Side. And to show them that you really mean business, invite Dan Akroyd to dinner first.... 
i turned to Rie (short for Marie) and said "you saw the shadow ?"...she says " NO...i saw a naked boy..." "A naked boy
i saw him in our room ...Lauren(my daughter-in-law) and Deena (my daughter) saw (at different times) a shadow walk down the hall and into my room...(WHY DOES IT ALL HAVE TO BE IN MY ROOM?)
