well- I was reading earlier about the woman who said her daughter seen the angels and thought it was just amazing. anytime you hear of something so full of god,it just makes you smile inside. and then you have the experience like the one my son had, my mother's house has always had activity within it and goes back a long ways......we have all had experiences,but none where we came into contact like my son. one day me and my mother and son were at her house and my son went to the bathroom on his own and we stayed in the living room ,all of the sudden he lets out this huge scream and starts running towards us, tears falling and out of breath we had to calm him down,he was shaking.....we were scared to death he had hurt himself but did know how bad or where and he still hadn't stop crying yet. well,when we got him to stop he said that there was this woman that he could see through my mother's mirror and she had a white face , black eyes and a black mouth. it freaked us out and were a little buigged out by then, I always wondered if she may had been standing in my mother's doorway and he seen her reflection,because most activity experienced is in that room. well, I just flat out stood in the open and said hey-look he is a little boy and he does not understand you and you need to just leave him alone. adn well we left and when we came a few days later he did not seem to be bothered to be in the house but for some strange reason was kinda looking at the mirror several times. well,this is what will blow your mminds my mom had often told us about what day years ago while having a family picnic my grandma had went to the bathroom and when she came back to the picnic that she was as whoite as a ghost meaning she was scared to dweath when my mom finally got her to speak she said the she saw a woman,well that was years agon and we never talked of it again. well after my son had his experience and he told us what she looked ,ike then my mom was curious if my grandma might have saw this woman's face that day. and so she asked her and she said yeah I did she nhad a dot on her forehead and a white face with black eyes and a black lips. oh my god we were by thAT TIME LOSSED FOR WORDS WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK IS THIS THING EVIL,IYT HAS NEVER SEEMED TO HURT US BUT JUST THE DESCRIPTION FREAKS ME POUT ME AND MY MOM HAVE HEARD HER MOANING IN SADNESS IT'S BEEN A WILD RIDE. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?
to shira- my son is now 5,but was close to 4 at the time. my grandma had never spoke a word to my son about this,we didn't even ask her the description until after my son had seen this lady. my mom was jsut curious after he saw her if my grandma had maybe seen the one she seen good enough to see her face. it sent shivers down both our spines and it was so far apart in years. the house is over a 100 years old,and the woman we belive may be haunting it could be a neighbor that lived there previously I was friends with her daughter years ago and even stayed the night some. this woman died of cancer(her mom)but not in the house,so it actually could be a number of people. the other things that have happened are things falling in rooms making very loud crashing noises but then you enter and thre is nothing there. I was younger and one night I was getting myself to sleep when I felt a light touch on my back my mom always used to touch us with the bible to keep us safe sometimes while resting and I remember saying mom you scared me to death and as I was truning and saying this I was surprised to see she was not standing thre. we have felt touching. my stepdad while watching ghosdt hunters one night was actually saying peggy come after me come after me and went to bed and me and my family stayed in the room watchig tv the middle of the night came and my mom got upm to go to the restroom and she felt somethinhg under feet all the sudden she flipped on the light andmy stepdads close had been removed from the closet and layed on top of each other on the floor as if she wanted him to leave my mom kept the light on 3 days after that,I knmow that is hard to believe but iunless you saw it with your own eyes your mind can not wrap around oit,and thewn there were the omean me and my mom and stepdad all experienced like shje was in pain we even went upm under the house thinking someone was hurt. my mom has lived nthre close to 30 yea I belive. like I said she never hurt us,but e can get pretty freaked out by it sometimes. we did research the house by its past owners there were several so sho knows.
At one time, I lived in a house with activity. At first, it really freaked me out, but then I decided that since the activity was harmless I would think of it like a pet dog. You know she's there, she interacts with you, sometimes you may hear her, see her, or feel her, but she does no harm.
Hey Mommyof1. I could tell you so many stories. We do live in the showmestate. HA. but I believe. I believe the stories people tell me. Why would they lie. Neosho has some awesome stories. There are a lot of OLD homes in Carthage. So you are gonna get that kinda thing. I live in a hundred year old house. Yep I have stories too. not like that. that would be awesome. If ya wanna talk. I live in Webb City. Ive heard if you ask it to leave it will.
I don't believe in ghosts,(thats the spirits of the deceased lingering ) what we believe these are demons.. and they can be any where , they could be harmful and could be harmless.However we have always been told to stay away from the places where there is a presence as you never know what could provoke them.
Ask your mom to bless the house from any priest or anyone who does so in your faith group, keep reciting while in there and if there is any blessings to bless the persons do that for your son to keep him save from this .
Never talk to any entity like this that could ask them to communicate.
My advice stay away and never leave kids alone there.
I think there are always a few things we can't explain or understand, and I think there are people who can see or notice things most other people can't see. It is human nature to try to put everything into a familiar understandable context and so ghost and fairy stories and myths are born. People love these stories, especially the ones that make a shiver run up your spine. Sometimes whole cultures can be shaped by them. It's a testament to the creative human spirit and our need to explore and explain the unexplainable.
Some cultures believe that there are no 'good' or 'evil' ghosts - that these are misplaced spirits that did not fully transition after death. Regardless of our beliefs, there is a 'truth' about this that we may never fully know. I suppose encountering a situation as you have that is unfamiliar to say the least, might best be handled as you would any challenging situation. First get calm and in a place of more balance so not to instill fear in your son or yourselves. It's difficult to know how to deal with things when we're upset. If it feels right to you to have your home blessed, I would do so. Others might choose to stand before the mirror and simply offer words asking that this 'person' move on now and that it is time. Might as well wish her the best too!!- If you've heard her moaning in sadness, she might be glad for some encouragement to move on and out of her grief. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, it can't hurt to do so. It doesn't sound like from what you have said that anything else has happened in the house in many years that would lead you to feel that you are in a dangerous situation so I would encourage you not to react in that way. Good luck with this. Please let us know how it goes.
Have your home blessed and do all you can to avoid talking about it so as to not invite the prescense, do uplifting things instead and read your scriptures nightly.
I always believed in angels but thought ghosts were a bunch of hooey until the last year when we decided my parents' house has ghosts in it. There are a lot of things that have happened in their house since they moved there twenty years ago, but none of us ever talked about them until the last year. Both my parents, my great-aunt, my sister and I have all had "run-ins" with the ghost/s but we all thought it couldn't be, so we just brushed it off. Until my great-aunt was visiting last year and she got up in the night to use the bathroom, but the light was on and the door was closed, so she thought my dad was in there. So she went back to her room to wait and on her way passed my parents' room and saw my dad sitting on the edge of the bed. They went back to the bathroom and the light was off and the door was open. You might think she just imagined it, but once we all started sharing stories, it was too much to just be coincidence.
The latest thing that happened was last week. In the middle of the night, the picture hanging above the mantel fell and broke. It was hanging on a hook, so it would have had to have been lifted up and off. It couldn't have just fallen. Crazy....
May not be evit but may be an earthbound spirit. I remember watching the Lisa Williams tv show on Lifetime a few years back and, with this one couple, she had mentioned that you can tell a spirit that is imposing on your space that it can go to the light and may not stay in your home anymore. Honestly, I have no clue if this really works. What I did was burn sage throughout my old house (we had a harmless ghost that was more playful than anything but still not a good presence to have when you are trying to sale a house). I opened up all the drawers, closets and cabinets and just let the smoke of the sage permeate every area of the house. I think it worked but really can't say for sure. Maybe I should drop by and ask the new homeowners if they have noticed anything usual with the house . . . . ;o)
I've got lots of stories that I've experienced but I've only had one that made me uncomfortable. Not really scared, just mindful. I didn't like to go into a certain bedroom at night, just didn't feel good. I also had a door pull shut out of my hand (not gently) in that area of the house. That's the only time I ever "talked" to one of them, I said, okay, I get it, and didn't go there anymore at night. I think it's so sad that the woman in your mom's house is so mournful.
How old is your son?
Is it understood that your grandmother never told your son this story?
How many years has your mother owned her house?
And who owned it before she did?
S.
I wonder what the history is with the house before your family owned it. Was your family the original owner? It kind of sounds like she is mourning if she cries and she displays black.
I have had a ghost in my photo. It was a photo taken by my husband of me. He had taken a total of four pictures of me. Two of each pose. Well one of each pose displays line of smoke in the image. If you follow the line, it comes from the back of the mountain. The first thing I said was it was sun flair, but it is not coming from the sun. There were none in his photos. I was wearing my friends Dad's ski gloves and he had passed. One image looks like a helmet and the figure is flipping the bird and the other looks like the figure is holding a pitch fork. A little creepy. I go back to the same spot often and am perfectly fine.
If you have not been hurt so far, she may not be harmful. However, I was always taught to believe that scary images such as that were demons. I don't know what to believe, actually. I do remember being a child and seeing things and we recently moved from a home where my 4 year old son had seen a person several times.... he described it had no feet. He was constantly scared of doors opening by themselves and such. And I always felt the presence of something but never figured if it was dangerous or just there.
My mother's house is active like that. Some people are sensitive to that energy, some are not. It certainly doesn't sound "evil" to me. There is a psalm (101?) that should be prayed through the house. also you mom can go to each room and pray. Tell the energy it needs to move on, cannot live there anymore, it is HER house. In a nice way and the activity will cease. PM me if you need more info.
***added*** constantly talking about, thinking about or being scared of the spirit makes it stronger and increases activity--so don't!
I don't believe in ghosts, especially ghosts that look like they're from a cheesy horror movie.
However, if you and your son do believe in ghosts, I think having the house blessed, as suggested below, would make you feel better.
Like a lot of others - I would have the house blessed. In Eureka Springs, Ar the Crescent hotel is supposedly filled with ghosts - they make some good money because of it.
Hello, we are also from missouri we are in saint joseph. I have been seeing and feeling spirits since I was little. I was 6 yrs old when my cousin was hit by a car right in front of my house and since I have seen felt and taken pictures of several spirits. I have yet to encounter a really bad one. my guess is that she is in morning or wants something. if you don't feel threatened I wouldn't worry about it to much. but like everyone else says if it makes you feel better then yeah have the house blessed. but it doesn't always work the activity might stop for awhile but might start again later. I 've only heard of that in extream cases though. were we live now has by my guess at least 3 spirits, thats just a guess. we have a picture of an older women in a flowing white gown that was taken in my room. often at night when I'm upset or feel sad and I'm tring to sleep I can feel someone running there fingers threw my hair, trying to comfort me I guess. If I'm in the basement working or something I have music boxes and they will start going off by them selfs these are the kind that have a switch to turn them on, I always smile and say ok I know your here. I was walking down the stairs to the basement once and seen a man in a red and black plaid shirt that ducked behind out furnice. I thought it was my dad but when I got down there, there was no one. and there was a shadow man in our halway one night who was turned looking at me and then just faded away, I have never felt anything but peace around these spirits. I am not afraid of them, and now my son who is 3 says he see's a man. just last night he woke me up twice to say there was a man standing by the bedroom door. I don't talk to him about the things that happen to me, and if he says theres someone standing there I tell him that its a ghost or spirit and that they won't hurt him, they are watching out for him. they don't bother him either. they like to turn on lights and stuff like that but none of them have ever hurt us. I think that the ones that do hurt people are the demon's and or people who were so bad in life they carried it over to hurt other's even in death. it sounds like she's trying to talk to you, maybe she needs help crossing over. hope this helps you and lets you know your not alone there are many people who share your concern.
