The SuperNaturalists(Paranormalities) Fanclub!
 
The SuperNaturalists(Paranormalities) Fanclub!

Introduction:-
This is the Paranormal Fanclub for anyone who believes in the paranormal or paranormal activities.

How this club came to be?
Me, Pipluper, Super Gullingwing and Stardust_Kumo were talking in Piplupers Fanclub about the Paranormal and now decided to make this Fanclub.

Owner: Hero Of Time Link³
Co-Owner: Pipluper
Co-Owner 2: Stardust_Kumo
Co-Owner 3: (to be decided later)

Members:
NessStar3000
orange
Chigiri
HikariHiroku
ChronicNightmare
JBCBlank
Shadow_Yue
wrath
nosferatu
Rules:-
1. If you join, try staying loyal to the club. Don't post once and just stay inactive.
2. Respect everyone here. Everyone has different opinions and beliefs about paranormal things. Please note: that any mentioning of the paranormal being non-existent is totally acceptable. Everyone has different beliefs, and we actually encourage them to prove to us why they believe that ghosts don't exist.
3. No fighting, no flaming. A debate is a debate, not a war. There will be no arguments here. Clean debates at the most.
4. Have fun with it. You can't take things TOO SERIOUSLY. Because that will lead to some sort of random weird thing happening.
5. Please do not post here just to say that you don't believe in the paranormal.
6. Co-Owners are the only people who can make topics.

Current Topic:-
Have you experienced Paranormal Activities, if so how?

Also I am the only one allowed to make Co-Owners don't ask.
P.S: We can't be held responsible for the following: Nightmares, feelings of being watched, feelings of being followed, feelings of paranormalities in your house, etc. By coming to this thread, you are putting yourself at risk of one or more of these side-effects.

NessStar3000 October 1st, 2007 11:56 AM

I'll join the club, I have a strong belief in the paranormal. I'm glad that I'm not only the one anymore. XD

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 11:56 AM

Ok your in this fanclub.:)

NessStar3000 October 1st, 2007 12:00 PM

So, do you have any weird paranormal-related experiences?

SilencedShooter October 1st, 2007 12:05 PM

Can I join?
Today I learned...the paranormal is real.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 12:26 PM

Yeah your in but I almost confused you sig with his.
P.S Posting Topics is only for Co-Owners*updates rules*

.Aero October 1st, 2007 1:29 PM

Yay! My idea came to be! Well as for the paranormal topic

Have you ever experience paranormal activity? If so how?
Yes, obviously, if you're in my fan club, you'd know the story. Although I have another I forgot to mention.

~~ Well one time at like 1 in the morning, I was thirsty, so I went down-stairs to get some water, so I open the fridge, grab the water and start heading back up the stairs. Well I started to hear Michigan State theme music, my Grandpa's favorite football team. After he passed away, my Grandma gave our family this little mascot that played the theme music. The stairs are right next to the study, which is where the mascot toy was. I opened the door, and when the thing is playing music, it's moving up and down. I still heard the music, just it wasn't moving. So I kind of thought of it as a way my Grandpa was trying to say he's happy in heaven and saying good bye until that time. ~~

Also, Time Link, maybe instead of this being a topic, everyone is gonna want to post experiences. Well instead, when a person joins, they should post why they joined and wheather or not they experienced something. Well after this topic dies.

~desu Saba~

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 1:33 PM

Ok that works quite well.
Once I had a motion sensor in my room and it started flashing(to symbolise something was moving)even though nobody was in my room except me then a pale figure appeared in my room and started walking around and dropped some of my stuff. It said,"Goodbye," and vanished.

.Aero October 1st, 2007 1:48 PM

That one actually sounds kind of funny, well the way you wrote it made it sound funny. Like something just appears, drops stuff, then says goodbye. XD

Oh well, I'm gonna go dig up an article, for our daily paranormal discussion. =]

EDIT: Well I found this story to be rather interesting. I hope it's not against the rules to post links like this.

~desu Saba~

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 1:57 PM

Well I don't really want to go into detail.

I'd like to join, I have paranormal things happen to me a lot and I would like to have people to talk to it with other than family and friends from school.

Here's one that happens to me about three times a week; Whenever I wake up, I find scratches on my body, like I had been cut. I admit, I have sleep-walked before, but there is no way I could hurt myself without making some noise that would wake myself up. This morning, I found a cut on my left hand middle finger. Last week, I got a cut on the left part of my neck. Also, yesterday night, I was walking to my bed from the bath room, then I saw a large white figure around a corner but I was so tired I didn't notice it until I was half way in my room. When I looked, it was gone.

Eternal Nightmare October 1st, 2007 2:13 PM

I am all the way into paranormal things. I want to join XD?

.Aero October 1st, 2007 2:18 PM

I think I have the ability to allow people in, so yeah, both of you can join. Well anyways, about that cut story: That's happened to me before. Check your bed for any sharp objects. Maybe wood, metal, or maybe your fingernails are too long. I got cuts from a water bottle cap though. XD It was a little red, so I guessed that was it. As for the white figure, I think it's just your mind playing tricks on you. (You being so tired, probably just waking up from a dream and the idea was still in your mind)

Debunking will be fun. XD

~desu Saba~

HikariHiroku October 1st, 2007 2:20 PM

Can I join? I've had so many creepy things happen to me it's not even funny. Seriously.

The day before I was about to move into my new house and left the old one I saw 3 white glowing things in my room and they all had faces.

Also this morning at about 3 a.m. Something was tugging on my covers and since my mother was downstairs and I don't have a pet I knew it wasn't them. I also hear hissing sounds a lot every time I walk into a room. >: I don't think people want me in any houses.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 2:22 PM

Woah Your both in and if you want to be a Co-Owner just make a Paragraph why and then the Members will vote on it(by PM-ing Me)
P.S Co-Owners got all the Ability I've got except they can't demote other Co-Owners back to members.(suggestions yes, actually doing it no)
Does everybody know the True Story behind The Grudge Movies because I do.

~desu Saba~

My friends said something about fingernails, but I'd have to dig them really deep for them to get the cuts to look like this, they aren't even that sharp either and it's not like I have dreams of cutting myself.

EDIT @Link: No, I don't .-.

.Aero October 1st, 2007 3:04 PM

I thought the Grudge was funny for the most part. One part really freaked me out, sent shivers down my spine. Anyway, please post the story! I must know! Also, I don't want to be rude or anything, I don't think we need a co-owner yet. We should have the most active people become co-oweners once this club develops. As you can see I made a mistake on the ZFC, because 1 of the co-owners didn't really post after like 4 days. So I'd hold off for a bit.

No. But I just recently scared myself to death by watching horror movies and reading horror stories all night long. Which I'm sure is just as scary. But do tell.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 4:54 PM

Well ok Here It Is.

In a Japan a serial killer was executed because of many accounts of murder that he had commited before he died he exclaimed,"I SHALL KILL ALL THOSE WHO ENTER MY HOUSE OR THE AREA OF LAND MY HOUSE IS BUILT ON(in Japanese which I haven't got the exact translation)!" To the executioners.
Months had passes and they demolished the house where he once lived as the public didn't want to live there in the fear of death. Years passed and the community forgot that the house had belonged to him and they built a new House on top of his land. A family soon moved in and on the second day they were found dead with no wounds and there were no fingerprints left on them. The police was baffled and nobody found out who had killed them and blamed it on the murderer.

That my friends is the True Story that The Grudge is based on(people don't think so but it is and in Japan The Grudge is more scary because that is where it happened. [It is called Ju-on])
Well that is all I can remember I must ask my friend for the whole copy.

JBCBlank October 1st, 2007 5:05 PM

I wanna join, things are always happening to me, that's how my house is, you see.
Before we lived here, there was this black house built here, it was three stories high but only eight by five feet across.Well the guy who lived there was one of thoes guys that fiddles with Black magic. Well after a while things started happening and he moved away. we got the property.
my dad says that when he was little there was this black cat that would climb up the side of the house and it would grow as it went up. and when it was at the top it was the size of a man and it would meow, this meow that would sink into your bones. now I haven't seen the cat but I've heard the meow. and yes.. it sinks into your bones. there were also giant 6 foot owls that would land on the house, I've heard them too, but never seen them.
The only thing I've seen... well I"m a psychic I've seen a lot. mostly one I call Copy Cat, who copies the way you walk so you hear your steps long after you stop walking. there are also a lot of dead solders, they sometimes grab my legs while I'm watching TV. that's really annoying. and there's this dude that keeps spying on me from around every corner... he's doing it now...

~JBCBlank

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 5:16 PM

Ok your in! I hope this FC stays active.:)
~Watasiwa Hero Of Time Link³ Desu~

.Aero October 1st, 2007 5:36 PM

You did not just say desu. XD Seriously, I'd ask Ichi-chan for permission of use of that word. XD

Anyways, love that story JBC! Kinda gives me the creeps.

~desu Saba~

Craig² October 1st, 2007 5:42 PM

Aw dude I thought I reserved a Co-owny spot

Can I join? Why am I even asking, of course I can.


And Desu's only for me, Shuri, Saba, Ichi and that doll from Rozen Maiden, desu. It's....It's a very long story. xD

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 5:49 PM

Anyway Stardust_Kumo your in. Who has read my little paragraph on The Grudge?
P.S Dude "Watasiwa Hero Of Time Link³ Desu" means "Hello My Name is Hero Of Time Link³" in Japanese. I've been to Japan.
Anyway I respect your decision and will cease from using that word. Oh and can we stop going off-topic just PM me next time.

Eternal Nightmare October 1st, 2007 5:57 PM

Welcome JBC (Pink). Well guys waht are we going to talk
about T_T? Nothing really paranormal has happened to me, but one day
I hope so.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 6:02 PM

Sharing experiences of Paranormal activities. Anyway ChronicNightmare if you haven't had any experiences why do you believe in the Paranormal? Also those ghost pictures on the site Pipluper posted freak me out.

Humm! I really don't know it started out with this documentary on wheter ghosts were not real that I we had to watch in class in like Middle school. Then I wondered because I thought ghosts we fake, I researched and the more I learned the scared I got, but I got more fascinated. I guess that explains it. What ghost pictures? I want to see >_<.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 6:13 PM

These ghostly pictures. http://www.trueghosttales.com/ghost-pictures.php

Craig² October 1st, 2007 6:50 PM

Argh, dammit Saba, you've got me watchin' Ghost Hunters now. xD

Anyway there's no doubt in my mind that there are various different types of ghosts...I've had a few paranormal, ghostly experiences myself, which is why I believe in them. Before I was skeptical but now...Now I'm a believer.

Shadow_Yue October 1st, 2007 6:54 PM

Awesome! Can I join? I thought I was the only who thought ghosts and stuff were real. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. >.> Ever get that feeling that you're being watched? I do. All the time. It's creepy.

Hero of Time Link³ October 1st, 2007 6:56 PM

Yeah pretty much I get the feeling I'm getting watched. Anyway your in.:)

NessStar3000 October 1st, 2007 7:58 PM

I think ghosts are real, even though I actually never actually met one. I would though like to meet one in person, yes... I'm weird like that. XD

Although that does not mean I never had a paranormal experience. Every month at least I always experience something happening before it actually does happen. They call this precognition if I recall from articles that I had read.

.Aero October 2nd, 2007 10:57 AM

Wow, this club is growing FAST! (as owner of idea I believe that Star should get co-ownership. Not because she's my friend, but because I know she will stay active. Well sorry if this sounds demandy, you rightfully have the power actually, just a thought though.)

Anyways, how bout right now we discuss the types of ghost experiences. Like EVP (electronic voice phenomona(n)) apparitions (actually seeing a ghost) sounds (such as foot steps/bangs/creeking/ect.) feelings (being watched, as said earlier, cold air, shivers) or just plane susupicion.

I tink the creepiest is EVPs. Although you'd think that seeing an apparition is scarier, I think EVPs are because 1) You can't hear them with your own ears, adding to creepiness 2) You don't know what the ghost/spirit/demon looks like. 3) Keeps you guessing on what it could be. That's what makes it creepy, you don't know what the heck it is, while an apparition: Oh it's a girl ghost, a demon, and so on.

~desu Saba~

Hero of Time Link³ October 2nd, 2007 11:53 AM

Yea I agree that Stardust_Kumo deserves Co-Owner #2. *adds her to Co-Owner List* I reckon the creepiest thing is evps as they are freaky as especially at midnight!

Shadow_Yue October 2nd, 2007 2:50 PM

If you feel something breathing on your neck then that's creepy. Especially when it's like, 3 a.m. in the morning. I read too many ghost stories.

.Aero October 2nd, 2007 3:01 PM

Haha, anyone have any ghost stories today? Or should I go find another article?

EDIT: Very short Article and Picture: ~*~
But who is the little girl? Wem, a quiet market town in northern Shropshire, had been ravaged by fire in the past. In 1677, historical records note, a fire destroyed many of the town's old timber houses. A young girl named Jane Churm, the legends say, accidentally set fire to a thatched roof with a candle. Many believed her ghost haunted the area and had been seen on a few other occasions.
A little extra article to go along with it, credit to external link in original link.

Hey Link, you should put a disclaimer on the first page that we can't be held responsible for the following: Nightmares, feelings of being watched, feelings of being followed, feelings of paranormality in your house, ect. By coming to this thread, you are putting yourself at risk of one or more of these side-effects.
^ Or something like that. XD

~desu Saba~

SilencedShooter October 2nd, 2007 3:12 PM

I've had dreams were stuff in my room moves around, and when I wake up, some things in my room will be rearranged. Weird.

Shadow_Yue October 2nd, 2007 4:08 PM

I have a website that is full of creepy stories. But the pictures will scare you out of your wits. http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Creepy

WARNING: HORSE PICTURE MAY BOTHER YOU TO THE POINT IN WHICH YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. PLEASE IGNORE IT.

Craig² October 2nd, 2007 4:09 PM

*glomps Saba* Thank-you! n_n;

Oh orange, I was just thinking about ghosts who communicate through dreams 'n stuff. I call them Dream Eaters. *shot*

I think my house has an entity dwelling within it. I've seen her before, not quite talked to her, but I've seen her. She looked to be about ten..I think she died in the upstairs bedroom, maybe drowned in the bath or was murdered in her sleep, because all the times I've seen her have been upstairs.

Hero of Time Link³ October 2nd, 2007 4:16 PM

Great Idea Pipluper(can I call you Saba-San?) I've edited the main post. How would you guys like our Thread Title to be "The SuperNaturalists(Paranormalities) Fanclub!"

.Aero October 2nd, 2007 4:28 PM

Haha Disclaimer.....XP

Anyway, as for the title, I'd prefer the suggested one, but hey, it's really your choice (the suggested one was: PCPS ; Pokecommunity Paranormal Society)

I'm not gonna even look at any of the pics right now, it's 8:30 here, so I'm gonna have to little time to get rid of the images. Creepy.....O_O

*hugs Star back!* XD

~desu Saba~

Hero of Time Link³ October 2nd, 2007 4:35 PM

Why don't we make a vote and PM either me or Pipluper for votes on which one to choose but first we need a few more suggested titles.

Đ a r κ October 2nd, 2007 4:36 PM

Nothing really astonishing happened to me today, well except for this morning when I found slight bruise on my waist in the form of a "Y" .-. When I looked in the mirror I was like "Wtf?" Then for the rest of the day I was like "Why, why, why? Y?" xB I think it was just from the wrinkles on my sheets *needs to throw them in the washer* I like the idea for the new name btw. I'm afraid to see the horse picture, but curiosity is pushing me to see it >_<

JBCBlank October 2nd, 2007 4:41 PM

Who wants to see nasty stuff? The site is in Spanish but... it's good.. XD lots of stuff if you have any questions about it just ask... I have many more stories to tell.. XD most are really old and very very true.

Eternal Nightmare October 2nd, 2007 7:45 PM

Can I ask would any of you be willing to like hunt down ghosts or
excorise houses and junk like that?
(^I think I spelt it wrong)

.Aero October 3rd, 2007 10:53 AM

I probably would be too scared to hunt down actual ghosts. Finding articles is enough for me. I'm no expert on ghosts first off, exorcising may be scary too. I get freaked out from Ghost Hunters on really good episodes (which by the way is on at 9:00/8:00 central) So I'm pumped for tonight, although I might not be able to sleep. XD

~desu Saba~

NessStar3000 October 3rd, 2007 11:47 AM

Am I the only one here who wants to see a ghost in person? XD

I've been watching shows depicting about ghosts and demons, they're quite interesting to watch. What makes me into those kinds of shows is the fact that they are actual true events that had actually happen.

Hero of Time Link³ October 3rd, 2007 11:55 AM

I would be to freaked out to do that stuff. I believe but I am to scared to do that.

Ghosts = Yes
I am not to scared to deal with ghosts, but demons..........

LOL.

Craig² October 3rd, 2007 3:09 PM

Demons scare the living crap out of me. If I confronted one I'd run like hell. xD
I'd be fine with a regular entity if they weren't violent. You know how some can be just as dangerous as demons...But I wouldn't be scared of a kind spirited one.

I've actually gone ghost hunting before, several times! Ah it's too fun, I'm addicted to the eerie feeling of it. It's best when you actually find or experience something.

.Aero October 3rd, 2007 3:13 PM

Star has a point there. I wouldn't be afraid to confront a nice ghost, which I believe would be in my house if any ghosts. My fan is about the only thing that ever happens in the house, but I think it's just because my fan is crappy. At night, or any time it's on, it goes really quiet, as if it's off. But then after that ends, it gets very loud. And it's not like this has only happened once, it happens every night constantly during the night. That's what made me think it's just the fan, and not a ghost manifesting. Anyways, someone else dig up an article today. XD

~desu Saba~

Shadow_Yue October 3rd, 2007 3:27 PM

When I was younger me and a group of my friends went ghost hunting. It was fun walking around people's houses and attics at 12 in the morning and seeing the occasional glowing light or someone screaming because they thought they saw something in the mirror. Now because of all the movies they make now that are actually scary I'm afraid to do it again. Also did anyone see the long list of stories that I posted?

Craig² October 3rd, 2007 4:09 PM

*looks at Shadow Yue's sig* Lol...Those are funny. XD.. 'Cept the last one. Emos rock.

So...Is your house haunted? Here's a list of haunted signs:

Unexplained noises - footsteps; knocks, banging, rapping; scratching sounds; sounds of something being dropped. Sometimes these noises can be subtle and other times they can be quite loud.
Doors, cabinets and cupboards opening and closing - most often, these phenomena are not seen directly. The experiencer either hears the distinct sounds of the doors opening and closing (homeowners get to know quite well the distinctive sounds their houses make) or the experiencer will return to a room to find a door open or closed when they are certain that it was left in the opposite position. Sometimes furniture, like kitchen chairs, are perceived to have been moved. Very rarely will the experiencer actually witness the phenomenon taking place.
Lights turning off and on - likewise, these events are seldom seen actually occurring, but the lights are switched on or off when the experiencer knows they were not left that way. This can also happen with TVs, radios and other electrically powered items.
Items disappearing and reappearing - this phenomenon, which we have dubbed "the DOPler Effect" (DOP = Disappearing Object Phenomenon), has been examined in the article "The DOPler Effect." Others have called this "the borrowers" phenomenon, and it's the familiar experience of not being able to find a regularly used item - say, your set of car keys - which you believe you placed in a spot you routinely place them. But they're gone and you look high and low for them with no success. Some time later, the keys are found - in exactly the place you normally put them. It's as if the object was borrowed by someone or something for a short time, then returned. Sometimes they are not returned for days or even weeks, but when they are, it's in an obvious place that could not have been missed by even a casual search.
Unexplained shadows - the sighting of fleeting shapes and shadows, usually seen out of the corner of the eye. This phenomenon has also been discussed in some detail in "Shadow People." Many times, the shadows have vaguely human forms, while other times they are less distinguishable or smaller.
Strange animal behavior - a dog, cat or other pet behaves strangely. Dogs may bark at something unseen, cower without apparent reason or refuse to enter a room they normally do. Cats may seem to be "watching" something cross a room. Animals have sharper senses than humans, and many researchers think their psychic abilities might be more finely tuned also. (See "Animals and Ghosts" )
Feelings of being watched - this is not an uncommon feeling and can be attributed to many things, but it could have a paranormal source if the feeling consistently occurs in a particular part of the house at a particular time.
Mild psychokinetic phenomena - hearing a door open or close is one thing. Actually seeing it happen is quite another. Similarly, actually seeing a light go on or off by itself is greater proof that something unexplained is happening. Do you see the TV or radio turn on? Or perhaps you're present when a child's powered toy begins to operate on its own. Doors and windows are locked or unlocked. Some people report that when they are in bed they can feel and/or hear something sitting on the bed.
Feelings of being touched - the feeling of being watched is one thing, and actually feeling like you are being touched is quite another.

Feelings of being watched - this is not an uncommon feeling and can be attributed to many things, but it could have a paranormal source if the feeling consistently occurs in a particular part of the house at a particular time.
Mild psychokinetic phenomena - hearing a door open or close is one thing. Actually seeing it happen is quite another. Similarly, actually seeing a light go on or off by itself is greater proof that something unexplained is happening. Do you see the TV or radio turn on? Or perhaps you're present when a child's powered toy begins to operate on its own. Doors and windows are locked or unlocked. Some people report that when they are in bed they can feel and/or hear something sitting on the bed.
Feelings of being touched - the feeling of being watched is one thing, and actually feeling like you are being touched is quite another.

I have nothing against emos. Everyone on myspace just pretend like they are for attention. >.>

But anywho I hope you know how scared I got when I read that. I litterally just went outisde of my room and turned every single light on. Most of those have actually happened except the toys turning on thing. This morning I woke up with a giant scratch on my face and I had NOTHING in my bed that could've done that. I don't even have a headboard. So if my house is haunted (I think that most likely I'M the one who's haunted and not the house) I would say that it is not Casper the Friendly Ghost. Far from it.

I hate myspace that's why I am never getting one.

Anyway, Skeptics always think they have an explaination regarding paranormal activity it really ticks me off.

Craig² October 3rd, 2007 4:24 PM

@ShadowYue: Okay good.
Well, you could have a Poltergeist...Those can be so annoying. >.>
Anyway yeah, I read the list and got pretty creeped out- 9/10 of that stuff happens around my house as well.

@ChronicNightmare: Yeah, I hate skeptics who do such things. I love it when they're faced with a paranormal phenomena they can't explain, or they experience something themselves; that's the way to stick it to 'em.

Hero of Time Link³ October 3rd, 2007 4:31 PM

Heres my big GHOST SIGHTINGS of the day. I think it's one of the biggest ones I've read.

Craig² October 3rd, 2007 4:40 PM

Ooh that's a good read, Hero. ^^;
I have a few articles that I'll post later.

I have a question for everyone...What's your opinion on 'Orbs'?
I'm asking that assuming you all know what orbs are.

Anyway, I think they're...Well, BS, no offense to those who believe they are a form of entity/entity transportation/paranormal. IMO, they're just rain/pollen/dust or dust. If taken in a picture, it's likely due to a dusty spot on a camera lense.

Shadow_Yue October 3rd, 2007 4:41 PM

I know that I probably google it but..what's a Poltergeist?

Craig² October 3rd, 2007 4:43 PM

Poltergeist


This is a spirit, usually mischievous and occasionally malevolent, which manifests its presence by making noises, moving objects, and assaulting people and animals. The term "poltergeist" comes from the German poltern, "to knock," and geist, "spirit." Some cases of poltergeists that remain unexplained and may involve actual spirits. In other cases the phenomena may be produced by subconscious psychokinesis (PK) on the part of an individual.

Included in the most common types of poltergeist activities are the rains of stones, dirt, and other small objects; moving or throwing of objects, including large pieces of furniture; loud noises and shrieks; and vile smells. It seems that poltergeists have adapted to the development of technology. They are known to have caused interference in telephones and electronic equipment, and turning lights and appliances on and off. Some poltergeists are said to pinch, bite, hit, and sexually attack the living.

Generally poltergeist activity starts and stops abruptly. The duration of it may extend over several hours to several months; however, some cases have been reported to last over several years. The activity almost always occurs at night when someone is presence. Typically this is the "agent," an individual who seems to serve as a focus or magnet for the activity. In most cases the agent is a factor, both those that seem paranormal or that may be caused by human PK. The agent is usually female and under the age of twenty.

Poltergeist disturbances have occurred globally since ancient times. In the late 1970s parapsychologists Alan Gauld and A. D. Cornell did a computer analysis of those cases collected since 1800 to that time. They identified sixty-three general characteristics, which include the following: 64 percent involved the movement of small objects; 58 percent were most active at night; 48 percent featured raps; 36 percent involved movement of large objects; 24 percent lasted longer than one year; 16 percent featured communication between the poltergeist and agent; 12 percent involved the opening and shutting of doors and windows.

Before the 19th century, poltergeist activity was blamed on the Devil, demons, witches, and ghosts of the dead. The Gauld-Cornell analysis found only 9 percent of the cases attributed to demons, 7 percent to witches, and 2 percent to spirits of the dead. Most of the demon and witches attributions occurred in non-Western countries. Poltergeist activity at séances was attributed to spirits of the dead.

The development and increase of psychical research during the late 19th and early 20th centuries helped confirm the conviction that poltergeist activity was genuine. Among the early investigators were two founders of the Society for Psychical Research, Sir William Barrett and Fredric W. H. Meyers. Meyers believed in the genuineness of poltergeist activity and that it was distinguishable from ghost hauntings.

In the 1930s the psychologist and parapsychologist Nandor Fodor advanced the theory that some poltergeist disturbances were caused not by spirits but by human agents suffering from intense repressed anger, hostility, and sexual tension. Fodor successfully demonstrated his theory in several cases, including the most famous "Thormton Heath Poltergeist" in England, which he investigated in 1938. The case involved a woman whose repressions caused a poltergeist outbreak and apparently a vampire attack. The Spiritualists severely criticized Fodor, but he won a libel suit against a Spiritualist newspaper.

William Roll, project director of the Psychical Research Foundation in Durham, North Carolina, further explored this psychological dysfunction theory. Starting in the 1960s, Roll studied 116 written reports of poltergeist cases spanning over four centuries in more one hundred countries. Roll identified patterns that he labeled "recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis" (RSPK), which are inexplicable, spontaneous physical effects. Generally, he discovered, the most common agent was a child or teenager whose unwitting PK was a way of expressing hostility without the fear of punishment. The individual was not aware of being the cause of such disturbances, but was, at the same time, secretly or openly please that they occurred.

Other investigators have also investigated agents finding that those in poor mental and physical health are vulnerable to stress. Patient having unresolved emotional tensions have been associated with houses where poltergeist activity occurred. When studying the personalities of agents psychologists found anxiety reactions, conversion hysteria, phobias, mania, obsessions, dissociative reactions, and schizophrenia. In some cases therapy eliminated the poltergeist activity.

However, the psychological dysfunction theory has been disputed by other researchers, including Gauld and Cornell who said the psychological tests employed were invalid. Psychiatrist Ian Stevenson proposed that spirits of the dead may account for more poltergeist activity than realized. In his study of a number of cases attributed to agents and to spirits of the dead, Stevenson noted significance differences. The phenomena in living agent cases was without purpose and often violent, while cases involving spirits of the dead featured intelligent communication, purposeful movement of objects, and little violence.

Poltergeist activities have been reported in many countries, and chronicled by occult writers such as A. R. G. Owen and Colin Wilson. The Epworth Poltergeist case is one of the best-documented cases of poltergeist activity. A.G.H.

Shadow_Yue October 3rd, 2007 4:58 PM

D: I seriously need to have a talk with this Poltergeist! He's scratching my floor and then we have to pay for it!

Hero of Time Link³ October 3rd, 2007 4:59 PM

You forgot to mention a easier description. Peeves from Harry Potter is a Poltergeist.

.Aero October 3rd, 2007 5:01 PM

Hmmmm.....my thoughts on orbs....

Well, most of the time on Ghost Hunters (which just started) it's dust or a bug. I believe that sometimes it could be an entity. Like in some things, they don't really appear orby, but ovaly and dark black. That's when I think it's an entity, or whenever the Ghost Hunters say it's one. XD I believe anything they say.

~desu Saba~

Shadow_Yue October 3rd, 2007 5:04 PM

Most of the one's I see on TV look like dust so I can't really believe in the orbs sort of thing unless it really looks like an orb of light. It's especially easy to tell if it's fake if it's brown.

Hero of Time Link³ October 3rd, 2007 5:10 PM

Orbs are obviously fake I mean why would there just be a little ball of light that can't be seen by the human eye very well?

JBCBlank October 3rd, 2007 6:02 PM

*sigh* strickly from a person who knows what they talking about.

1-Ghosts arn't something you need ot go out and hunt, they find you. and most of the time they fallow you and won't leave you the hell alone. At least untill you take them back to where you picked them up.

2-Poltergeists are MEAN! they will take a bite out of you, I know I was around one once , it lived in my cousin's room because she's an idiot and thought it would be fun to summon one and she couldn't' get rid of it. I slept in that room and woke up with giant claw marks on my stomach and a bite bruise on my shoulder... and I think I was violated. I had to get rid of that thing it took me all the next day and most of my engery.

3-Being an exersits is really hard work and it takes a lot of physical, spiritual and emotional energy, they will whittle you down to a crying betting lump before you give up or someone helps you, that's why priest's always take the deacons.

4-Demons are even worse, I personally, and luckily, have never had to deal with one. I do know a lot of people who have, (Ghost stuff runs in the family, we call it the family calling/curse), they require more then anyone wants to work for, especially since you never get paid when you do that kind of work. true psychics do not ask for money. (That makes Saint really mad because I keep reading palms for free at school.)

5-When you see a ghost... it's nothing big, usually just a white mist out of the corner of your eye, those are the nice ones. the ones that don't bother you. there are also black ones, they're stronger and they won't let you sleep. they can touch you and they can also hurt you, normally they don't unless you try to get rid of them and don't' succeed. they can make you fall out of your bed and stuff, it's mean. Poltergeist are the ones that draw energy from you're fear, if you're not scared you can chase them out no problem but the more you stay scared the more powerfull they become and the more solid their form. most of them look like the last thing they remember, you'd better hope you don't see one that died in a horrible murder, they's ugly.

6-Orbs are only annoying when you want to take a good picture. they draw pleasure from covering your face. At least they do to me. if you don't tell them to stay out of the pic, they'll be there.

7-a warning, NEVER say "come in" when the door is opened unexpectednely, you will not like what comes in and you will never be able to get rid of it until you ask it forcefully to leave. (I learned that the hard way.. that B. kept stealing my stuff, i still can't find that art book the took.)

8-If you really don't want them to bother you, just don't pay attention to them. That's what my dad and grandma always say, but I enjoy their company so I pay attention to the ones I like. Like the solders outside.

9-If you really want to see one, then........... place a tape recorder in the middle of the house at night leave it recording all night, (or until the battery dies/the tape ends) Listen to it in the morning, if you hear something that shouldn't be, (Like a voice or something) make a big fuss about it, try to figure out what it is and most likely you'll start noticing things, that will lead to being scared, that will lead to a more powerful ghost, that will lead to you seeing it, that will lead to you going out of your mind. If you want help on getting rid of it afterwards just ask me, I'll help you there.

10-If you know of one in your house and you would like a good nights sleep, here's all you have to do, before you fall asleep right when you're half asleep, imagine a bubble, staring small in the middle of your chest, expand it slowly, keep expanding it, ( if it's working you'll feel it, trust me), when the bubble is covering you hod it there, and just fall asleep. nothing will bother you all night. (at least if you believe they wont. if you doubt it in the slightest it won't work. Faith is the only thing that powers us.)

that's all i want to say this time around. *smiles* hope I help you out some. Remember I know what I'm talking about.

Nice information, though I learned all of what you said through years of watching different paranormal shows, researching paranormal phenomena online, and through my own experiences. We (well, most of us at least) know what we're talking about as well..And what's with the little sigh?

Anyway Hero, I have a suggestion for the club. We get one member (a different one each day) to post an article about paranormal phenomena, like a Daily Dose of the Super Natural, or something similar.

Sure that's a great idea and your in wrath. Good job JBCBlank. So I'm guessing your a exorcist? Oh and I fixed your spelling mistakes.

JBCBlank October 4th, 2007 2:25 PM

I alway sigh, yesterday because I was sick. *sneeze* still sick today... I'm not much of an exorcist by the way. I only get them out of the house if they bother me to much. XD they do it alot.

I don't put much faith in thoes paranormal phanamanon(<<don´t say anything this isn't my computer... no spell check) shows, my dad and grandma pouned all this into me a few years ago, mostly because Grandma isn't strong enough to do it by herself anymore. I keep the ugly red eyed one in check, what with a new baby in the house it´s necesary. (not my baby mind you, I don´t have one and don´t want one. not yet.)

I have alot of stories, most are long and rambling. XD

Yeah, it is hard to trust the shows about paranormal phenomena; there's always the possiblity that the encounters were planned and the investegators/cast were true actors.

JBCBlank October 4th, 2007 4:47 PM

*nods* You know, I have a lot of special skills, one of my most helpful is the ability to know when someone's lying. If i get scared when watching something about paranormal activities, It's real, if I laugh or just get board, it's a lie. *smiles*It annoys my cousins cause I keep telling them that things are fake. XD

.Aero October 4th, 2007 4:52 PM

I believe Ghost Hunters is real, but that's about it. There was this really funny show where I nearly died crying....of laughter! XD It was these British people or something, and the were in this house with a small room on the top floor. The looked in that room and said they think they saw something so a guy walks in there and acts like he's having a seizure or something, then starts talking like he's being posessed. Then he falls to the ground and acts like he didn't have any idea what just happened. It was bad acting too. XD

I take on a new perspective of what I used to think about people. Like you JBC, I used to think that you were just interested in Zelda and lead a normal life, but now it's like WHOA! You know what I mean?

XD Yeah, it's so obvious when someone's acting and someone is bein' real.
WHAT ABOUT ME???!!?!? J/k

Anyway...I found an article type document 'bout Animal ghosts.

Spoiler:
EVEN PEOPLE WHO believe in an afterlife and the possibility of ghosts are often skeptical when it comes to the idea of spirit animals. They don't have souls or spirits, goes the argument, and therefore cannot have a life in the next world. But cats, dogs, birds and other animals are made up of the same energy that humans are, and it may be as possible that this energy can survive death, just as it can for people. Anyone who is close to their pets will testify to the psychic connection they share. Psychic energy and spiritual energy may all be a part of the same phenomenon, and so animals might have as much of a connection to the unseen world as we do.

Maybe more. Animals not only may appear as ghostly forms, they may also be more sensitive to the proximity of spirits.

Cats and dogs in Heaven?
Is there an afterlife for our pets? Does God really love our pets, too?

Barbara S. tells of a stray black-and-white cat that her family adopted in the Queens section of New York City. They lived in an old attached house that had no history of strange activity, as far as they knew, but this high-strung kitten seemed to be able to see things Barbara's family could not:

She would look at the stairs, her gaze slowly moving from the bottom to the top, as if she was observing someone walking up the steps. At other times, her green eyes would be transfixed upon a certain spot on the ceiling above me. While I couldn't see anything, the cat was definitely watching something. After my son went away to college, I decided to put the house up for sale. One evening, shortly after the real estate agent that I contacted had looked at the house, I sat in my favorite chairwith my little cat nearby excitedly looking at the ceiling above me. I heard people run down the stairs in the house next door. Maybe the noise triggered what happened next, which was truly horrible. What I heard sounded like the heavy, thumping steps of a big man with real heavy boots walking on my living room ceiling upside down. The cat was absolutely frantic. She looked at the ceiling, hissing and spitting. After about ten seconds of deafening noise, there was silence. The cat stopped looking at the ceiling. I checked the upstairs rooms, but, of course, there was no one [else] in the house.
Dogs can be just as sensitive as cats when it comes to sensing the unseen. Elven M. tells of ghostly figures in her home that made their presence known so often that her family actually named one of them: Bill; the other was the ghost of a little girl. Elven believes that her dogs -- a seeing-eye trained German Shepherd, Haywood, and a blue healer, Tuscon -- were the first to notice them. Elven was on the phone one day...

Haywood was lying at my feet and began to growl. Tuscon went and hid behind the stereo in the corner. As Haywood stood up, I felt a gust of cold air brush past me, and he continued to growl. He moved to the top of the stairs that led into the family room, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up as he growled and snarled into the dark basement. I feared that someone had broken into the house. I turned on the downstairs light as I stood directly behind Haywood, ready to let him run and attack whoever it was in the basement. I saw nothing, yet he continued to growl. I stayed on the phone and went across the room and pulled into the corner, scared to death. My boyfriend at the time was consoling me, telling me there was nothing there. At that moment, a little girl's voice came from the vent in the floor next to me. Haywood came and sat beside me as though he was protecting me, growling across the room the whole time. By the time my parents returned home, I was very upset and very scared as the voice continued.
"There is an obscure superstition that goes something like this: Knowing that animals can see ghosts, when an animal sees a ghost one can, from behind the animal, look between their ears toward where the animal is looking and see the ghost that they see," says Scott P. Yet he tried this very thing and discovered that the superstition is not true. He had the opportunity to test it as a young boy on a winter's day in his family's 100-year-old home,which had previously been a funeral home:

I, with my cat and dog curled up for warmth, sat on a heater vent wrapped in a blanket. I was in the living room with a perfect view of the entryway. From here I heard some footsteps upstairs. The cat's and dog's ears both perked up at the sound of the footsteps as they seemed to go down the hall toward the top of the spiraling staircase in the entryway. Both animals watched some invisible presence slowly walk down the stairs and through the living room then into the dining room. I, quite apprehensively, looked between both my cat's and my dog's ears as their heads and eyes seemed to follow someone walking though my house. Both animals' heads moved in tandem and the acted very much aware of the presence. Yet I could sense nothing aside from the sound of steps and the reaction of the animals. I was somewhat disappointed.

The ghosts of animals may be as common as the ghosts of humans. There are many reports from people who have sensed, felt, smelled, heard and even seen the spirits of recently departed pets. Nina I.'s daughter, for example, had such an experience with a cat named Andy, which was her companion for 19 years. Like human ghosts, animal ghosts can sometimes appear to lend comfort:

My daughter has suffered with rheumatoid arthritis since age 12, so spends many times in discomfort. For the past couple of years, she began telling me that a ghost visited her on her bed when she was feeling really bad. One morning, she commented that her "friend" had joined her on her bed. "It's strange, he is always felt just to the right of my feet. Just in that little place. I can feel the mattress depress." I had an instant brain hit.

An afterlife for pets & animals? Bible information gives us hope!

I told her, "It's the cat! It's Andy." I reminded her that Andy had always joined her in bed when she felt bad. She and I feel Andy is still around offering comfort to her.
In some cases these ghost animals are not particular whom they cuddle up to. Paul N. didn't own a cat, yet reports these visitations:

Early in the morning, while still dark, I sometimes have a feeling as though a cat is walking around on my bed. It happens usually when in bed, although it has happened while lying down watching TV late at night, too. The sensation is very clear and definite, exactly like the footsteps of a normal-sized house cat walking gently around on top of my bed linen, sometimes on top of me too, patting around for somewhere to lie down. Eventually it finds a spot, usually lying up against me, but not always. If I move too much while it is walking around the sensation will disappear. It will not be repeated twice in a night.
Ghosts sometimes appear to the living to let their loved ones know they are alright in the next world. That's the feeling Dennis G. and his wife got from a cat that he was forced to put down because it was severely ill. Sydnie was one of a litter of cats that contracted feline leukemia, but made its presence known after its death:

I felt like I had lost a child when we took Sydnie home to be buried where she was born. For about a month afterward, I felt depression and grieving for Sydnie. Then one night, while lying in bed waiting for sleep to come, I heard and felt the distinct thump of a cat lunging from the floor and landing on the foot of the bed, which was Sydnie's custom. I thought it was one of the other cats, but it was their custom to sleep in other parts of the house. I felt with my foot for a cat, but there was nothing there. This went on every night for a week, so I know I was awake and not dreaming. The impact was solid and real, right down to the little grunts cats give when they jump -- but nothing was there! I knew it had to be Sydnie's way of telling me everything was all right.
In many instances, the owners of deceased animals feel that their beloved pets are just returning briefly to say goodbye. In this remarkable case, Robin S.'s black Labrador, Mutt, might not even have been dead when it's spirit appeared to her. Robin had to give Mutt away because she and her husband had to move and weren't able to take the dog with them. But five years after the move, Mutt hadn't forgotten Robin:

I was in our living room and my husband was going out the door with the trash. A black mass was wiggling around his legs and as it came into the living room, I saw it was Mutt. He was wagging his tail a mile a minute and had what looked like a big grin on his face. He sat down stared at me and I heard, "I haven't forgotten you. I have to go now." Then he faded before my eyes before I had a chance to pet him! I knew he was gone from his body, but he still loved me enough to come say goodbye.

As with human-like apparitions, not all animal apparitions are positive experiences. You have no doubt heard of encounters with shadow people... but how about shadow animals? Kamala relates these peculiar experiences, which began after a real bird became trapped in her house:

My mom released it outside and it flew away. Our dog, Casey, started following something not sensed by us in our living room. She started acting strangely and continued to sniff and bark at things that were not there. My mom sensed a bird flying over her head. There was no earthly bird to be found. A phantom "cat" has joined our home recently. My mom, my sister, and I have all "seen" it. It is like a dark shadow. I actually thought it was a cat running under the kitchen table! The last thing to join us is a "black lizard." My sister spotted it in our basement. My mom also saw it there. It was very clearly defined, not a shadow like the cat. There are no lizards around in the middle of winter where I live. They are there one-second and vanish the next. Could these "animals" be manifestations of a negative energy?

Another reader has even reported seeing chicken shadow ghosts.Stranger still is this story from Neal T. about a very real-looking bird that had some quite unreal abilities, causing Neal to wonder if it existed in some other dimension:

My father and uncle were sitting in the living room, one side of which is enclosed floor to ceiling by two large French windows. It was about three in the afternoon, and as they were watching television, a bird -- possibly a wren -- flew against one of the glass panes. They both heard the noise and turned to observe the bird flutter for a moment, then appear to flatten itself out and squeeze through between the frame that encases the top of one of the panes! It flew to the opposite side of the room to the open door of the patio, where it flew away. This, I think we can all agree, is contrary to our conventional perception of reality and reason. The panes are firmly in place, without so much as a crack. So what we're talking about is what appeared to be a solid form -- the bird -- pushing itself through another solid form -- the glass -- without damage to either one. There are two witnesses who saw this. So the trite explanation of "it's your imagination" can be ruled out.

I really want to share something cool and paranormal to all you, but I'm not aloud to start a seperate topic. x_x

So, there are friendly ghosts and mean ones... but what about demons? Are there any good demons out there? -probably not-

Fallen Angel Flonne: Hey! That's not true! >_<

Craig² October 4th, 2007 7:45 PM

No, demons are the evil entities. There are no good ones. In some religions they are portrayed as fallen angels who turned to Satan and do his bidding on the living world, stuff like that. In short, however, you do not want to encounter a demon.

And sharing a story or something paranormal isn't considered a topic, so you may share whatever it is you'd like to share.

NessStar3000 October 4th, 2007 8:15 PM

Well, it's more of a supernatural phenomena that I can all teach you do right now. I've been using the skill for three years by now. Try and guess what I am going to talk about. Here is a big hint: My nickname

By the way, by your current knowledge, I want to know clear my answer from a paranormal experience of mine that occurred last Sunday:
I read some article about Pokemon being bad with some religion... I was speechless and angry towards the article. I went and took a drink of water in the kitchen, but an instant I felt this over-bearing horrible (might my say evil) feeling that almost took over my body. I immediately ran my way upstairs to my room and the feeling gradually went away.

What could this unnatural feeling possibly mean?

Craig² October 4th, 2007 8:23 PM

Can I ask if you've ever experienced paranormal phenomena before in your house? If so, then there have been cases where the mere presence of an entity can actually cause people to go into depression, or have terrible feelings or thoughts. (Wether that occours or not, and how the person is affected by it depends on wether the entity is 'good' or 'bad', and how they felt as they lived their lives. Example, a demon/bad spirit would usually give the victim a horrible feeling like the one you experienced. A ghost who lived their life in misery might emit a feeling of melancholy or dread.)

But, if it wasn't a ghost that caused it, it could be that you were so disgusted from the article that a wave of negative emotions overwhelmed you and caused the horrible feeling.

NessStar3000 October 4th, 2007 9:02 PM

I was more angered with the article than scarred, but anything could happen. Yes, I had this feeling more than once before. In fact... I just felt it again just now. This time adding uncomfortable pressure in my head. Wow, this is pretty creepy but interesting at the same time. XD

So what are some recommendations to do in a situation like mine?

SilencedShooter October 5th, 2007 10:11 AM

I know what article you're talking about. XD
When I think about it now, it was too stupid for me to stay angry about it. Now I just think about the guy who wrote it and I laugh.

Oh! And the other night I had a dream that my couch was moved, and when I woke up my couch was moved! I'd like to say ghost...ghost who keep toying with my dreams....hmm.

Eternal Nightmare October 5th, 2007 11:16 AM

Boy, I am finally back on. Anyway, like I said I have never experienced
anything paranormal. My mom love this kind of stuff so she is thinking on
moving into a haunted house. I just hope it is a ghost and not a demon,
I can't deal with those.

JBCBlank October 5th, 2007 1:33 PM

*smiles* on the topic of animal ghosts, I've seen many many animal ghosts. one in particular is my dad's dead dog, he's huge! and black but nice all he does is chase my cat. Cat's can see ghosts better then any other animal, my poor cat halloween night she almost had a heart attack.

wrath October 5th, 2007 3:04 PM

i love paranormal stuff even though it sometimes freaks me out i wach it on TV anyway. Just this summer i took a tour of the Winchester Mystery house and it was awsome, it was like 100 degrees outside and inside it was freezing inside and they dont even have airconditioning.

.Aero October 5th, 2007 4:42 PM

I have some stuff on animals having souls. Ok, so right now my Church preist is going to bless animals. Now think about it, what would be the point of blessing an animal if it didn't have a soul. If it doesn't, it be just like sprinkling water on them for no reason, while blessing has to do with the soul. So why would the Church waste their time with something like that if they didn't have souls? Think about it, really, it doesn't make sense.

P.S. do any of you know what Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia means? I do, and can spell and say it. (I think I spelled it right. XD)

Craig² October 5th, 2007 4:50 PM

Oh, I want my Rocket to get blessed. :3
My cat, Renji, however, is going to hell soul or not. XD

Ah! I know this because you told me. It's the fear of big words. XD

Eternal Nightmare October 5th, 2007 9:39 PM

It is time for ChronicNightmare's hauntings of the Day:
The Haunted Doll
When you were little have you felt like your toys were watching you, well in
(forgot name of state) in (forgot year) a painter named (forgets) had a doll named (forgets again). Anyway he got this doll we he was really young and it was sort of like his best friend. Everytime he painted his doll was there with him, as a matter of fact everythiong he did his doll was there with him. Will he was at work he let his doll look out the window. Children passing by would see him and they saw that the dolls eyes were foloowing them and they got spoked out. As the doll and the owner got more older the doll owner gets married. One day when the wife was cleaning up her room she saw the doll right there. She moved it and she thought she heard a laugh. when her husband returned home she told him hat they need to thrwo it in the attic. He refused of course, so she left him. She died later a few days later and her ghost haunted his house. He soon died later and haunted the house along with his ex-wife. People that enter the house could see apparitions and could here the laugh of the doll. The doll was found in the attic and put on display at a museum. When people pass by that doll his eyes watch them and you can sometimes here is laugh.

Well that is it I will have another one up tomorrow which is probably familar to some. Note: Details may vary. I saw the thing on some channel and felt like sharing. Awesome how forgetful I am, no.
I wonder if this story is somewhere on the internet. Thanks to all who took the time to read this n_n.

NessStar3000 October 5th, 2007 11:45 PM

Whoa, they put the doll on a museum? Interesting... never knew something like that happen in the world until now.

.Aero October 6th, 2007 6:36 AM

I wanna go to that museam! That'd be so cool to see something's eyes just follow you. Dolls are the scariest toy to me (like not little plastic baby things, like seramic real looking ones which I think this one you're describing is) Ok, I want to try something. Have any of you see Criss Angel do that one trick with the girl, where each person said one thing about the girl (blonde, dress color, ect.) and they all thought the girl looked the same? Same clothes and everything? Well Criss had a picture and they were spot on, even to the smallest detail (I think there was gold lace, but I can't remember). Well, I want to try it with this doll, to see if it has anything like this. Like if we all imagine the doll to look the same. (And nightmare, did you happen to see the doll in the show? You could judge if we're right with the details, but if 1 person isn't right, we're just done with this).

~desu Saba~

Eternal Nightmare October 6th, 2007 3:13 PM

Yeah I saw it in the show. It was a documentary on scary and creepy things.
I just remebered the doll's name it was Robert, I still need to remeber what state
it was. Also the doll's spriit haunts that same house along with his owner and ex-wife.
Things just gets stranger in today's society. Anway, later another tale is coming up.

.Aero October 6th, 2007 7:05 PM

Ok, nevermind about that guessing thing. I thought it was a girl doll. XD

Anyways, I have nothing to share now......

Eternal Nightmare October 7th, 2007 5:49 PM

Woops, I fell asleep to early last night. Anyway here is that Ghost Tale. Hopefully some of you guys already heard this one.
The Bell Witch
Well the Bell Witch haunting happened around the year 1817. It was revolved around the Bell family, hence the name, in Adams, Tennesee. The house is burnt down now so you cant experience this, or can you. Anyway, the first strange encounter was when the husband/father of the family John Bell was hunting and saw like a animal in the bush. He said he saw a dog's body, but a rabbits face. He at it, but it soon vanished. Sencond, the daughter Betsy Bell had her hair pulled and her face slapped by an invisible force in their house. Along with that the rest of the Bell children had there covrs pulled off and tossed on the floor. John Bell told his neighbors, who later said they witnessed events too. President Andrew Jacklson got involved in this too, due too the messages he was given. As he approached the house his wago was stopped by the force, as he noticed that this was the witches responsibility he was able to continue to the house. He brought a mand who said to be a witch tamer. He couldn't tame this witch and stated that he would rather fight and entire British army than to deal with her.Besty Bell was somewhat infatuated by the son of the neighbors and the Bell witch say this and followed and taunted them everytime they were alone. The witch began talking in a disembodied voice about the way she hated John Bell. He then became ill and everything was blamed on the witch, but he was suffering from what was called Bell's Palsy (too lazy to explain). He died on December 20, 1820, during this time a bottle of unidentified liquid was found next to a drink he drunk. The beleived the witch slipped some poision in his drink. The family said later they heard a voice say, "I gave Ol' John a big dose of that last night, and that fixed him." Later, at Bell’s burial, funeral guests reported hearing a voice laughing and singing. The wife/mother Lucy Bell said she heard a voice say it would appear again in 1828. During that time the son John Bell Jr heard a voice tell him about the incoming wars. It appeared agin in the year as it said, but then said again it would appear again in 107 years (1935) but never did.

Wow, that was long thanks for reading n_n.

JBCBlank October 8th, 2007 6:08 PM

*smiles* well, at least I didn't miss much.
Hey guys I just remembered a good story, wanna hear it well even if you don't here it is.

Here with my family a lot of things have happened but this one, is the fist one I wanna tell you guys.

Back when my grandma was a little girl, she lived in a place were there was this really rich guy. He and his wife lived in this huge house, where every night a huge owl would sit on top of the tallest tree and hoot. just sit and hoot.
Well one night after a lot of people had talked about it and roomers had flown. Three youths got together and decided to kill the Owl, prove they were brave.
Well they did kill it, by throwing rocks at it and scaring it so bad it fell, i when they got to the owl they found that it was in fact the rich guy. as it turned out he turned into an owl to protect his wife.

interesting isn't it? Why didn't he just stay in the house and protect her there?

~JBCBlank

NessStar3000 October 8th, 2007 7:42 PM

Cool... animal transformation it seems... or is it mental cloaking that he used?

Well, owls are great at sighting things, so that might be one understandable reason. This could be one reason why I don't kill random animals, poor guy. x_x

Đ a r κ October 9th, 2007 3:03 AM

How was killing an owl prove that they were brave? It poves that they're jerks.
