I know I should be getting some shut eye and resting before my trip to minnesota..but i have been reading a book called "I never believed in Ghosts until..." and it just makes me want to write down my experiences and share them. People just would never believe them. LOL But they are so special. And the human mind is faulty, so if we don't write things down, we are bound to forget them. Even now I'm not sure where to start.
I think we should begin with .. When I was a youngster ..say probably about 3 years old, I was lying in my grandma's chair, *was a little girl* and supposed to be taking a nap, but wasn't tired at all, so was bored and waiting for grandma to come back into the living room and play. I layed there for a while and all of a sudden I saw my grandpa (Who died before I was born) come out of grandma's bedroom (he never even lived in this house! She even had another husband who died too after grandpa!) and was making a SHH face at me, and kind of smiling. He was almost transparent. I remember thinking grandma would get so mad if he came in the kitchen where she was and he scared her because she got scared easy! But he went in there anyway, and she didn't hollar!
My 2nd experience was at Meodra ND with Mom and Grandma , not sure how old I was, but pretty young.. we were taking the tour of the Marquis De More house there, and as we went upstairs, the tour guide was explaining about the different parts of the house, I was looking around, when I saw a young ..maybe 5 to 7 year old blonde haired girl, her hair was in ringlettes she was dressed in clothing from the time period of that time. She looked at me, smiled and waved, and then walked into one of the rooms so I followed her, but the room was blocked off, and there was no way out, i peeked under the bed and there was no closet or anything so there was no way for her to hide! I was confused, but it was so intreguing! I kind of thought it had to be a ghost then.
Third expeirence, 4th grade, Mrs Podoll's Class, we were on a class outing to the Mandan Indian Village and state capitol. It was very Interesting..lets just say very cool for me. At the village, we were supposed to get a "lesson" in one of the teepees, I wanted to go in, but kept getting this sick feeling. I stood in the entrance, but I couldn't make myself go in. Finally she hollered at me to get in there. I said i don't feel good. She said just come in. There was a COLD rush and then something just right about heart level just peirced into my body, and suctioned through me.. it was the strangest feeling I ever had. I went in afterwards because I HAD to sit down.. was in a cold sweat, and just dizzy and icky feeling, about ready to pass out. I think that was a spirit passing through me.
After this, the experieces are kind of mixed, the dates are all over the places so I won't date them and just will say another experience and so on.
One time I was at the Custer House in Bismarck, had a nephew with me, I won't name names so he won't be "embaressed" anyway, we were walking down the main staircase, when we were both shoved aside as "something" went up on the other side. He (my ne'w) says to me "Did you feel that?" I said, yep! LOL! So.. It isn't just me..lol!
I have seen several faces of ancestors here at the house..different occasions..
One time I was visiting with my mom while she was in her bedroom and I was in the kitchen, we were talking about her day at work..just visiting about whatever..she came out of her room but she walked out into the back room and didn't turn on the light when she went in so I thought I'd turn it on for her so she could see, as it was night time..only, when I followed her in there, and turned on the light, she wasn't in there..FREAKY..I had followed a shadow creature in there. Mom was still in the bedroom. Yeah I screamed.
One night when I was listening to some audio book with the lights off in my bedroom, had the covers up and was getting mellowed out..I kind of had a weird feeling..like somebody was watching me. I rolled over and looked up. There was a spirit right beside me. I said, YOU cannot be here. You have no right to be here. My bedroom is my spiritual ground. Please Leave. It left. I haven't had anymore problems with invaders at night. You have to tell them though or they can watch you sleep..it's creepy.
I had an experience one time when my sister had a half a house she rented..she let me sleep downstairs while I was there..was great except that there was a soldier that was practicing his marching all night and day in the livingroom there too..noisy as all get out. Well it didn't bother them. LOL
Oh yeah..one time there was a teacher who had passed away...I was in a resteraunt a few weeks later, and saw his wife there, said hello. Sat down with mom, was eating..and felt the urge to look back over my shoulder at his wife again. There was my dearly departed teacher,sitting with his wife. He looked at me and waved, I shook my head in disbelief, at how crisp and clear his image was, not faded and see through. I just smiled and winked. I looked back and mom,her eyes got big as she realized what I had seen just by the way I looked at her and then I looked back, and he was looking sweetly at is wife. Looked at mom again, and looked at him again and he was gone. :S I miss him. :S
Also..I was riding back with my sister from Dickinson one time..i think she was driving..anyways...I learned not to scream when I see spirits on the side of the road..lol Freaked the shit out of her. LOL
Oh well..will probably think of more sometime.. I can't really write the ones that I have done for cases in sandpit..but will do ones that I have done personally. The end of part one....
