The Gate that Opens On It's Own

Jess and I have been friends our whole life and when this happen we were 12. We were hanging out with our boy friends and we were playing man-hunt with them and our cousin Twig and Nick's sister Rohl  (Nick's sister).
We had taken a little break in Jessica s garage when we heard some weird noises and a cold breeze every once in a while but we didn't care cause we thought we were safe in the garage. We sat there and all of the sudden Twigs cell phone was thrown across the room. We thought that Twig was pulling a trick. We got a little freaked out because you know would not anyone be thinking what is he trying to do here scare us?

The boys and Rohl got called home so they went home. Tristen, Jess and Twig went back to the house. On a path that the boys and Rohl took they had to pass a little fence that had a gate. About an hour later they called back and said that they were done with what they had to go home for and that they wanted to hang out in the barn. But they also said that when the went through the gate it opened all by it's self they did not have to touch it. We were all like now that's impossible and it was not the wind because it was facing the wrong way.

We didn't believe them so we walked through the gate when we went to go pick them up, and it did the same thing to us we were so scared we ran like little kids back home. We called them and said you come pick us up your boys so you come and get us. So they did come and they were running through the door and they said that some one was out there. We have seen them scared before but nothing like this. They were terrified.

We went inside and started to play spin the bottle and we were about ten minutes into the game and the bottle shattered we had no clue what to do. So we all decided to go to Tristen's grandma's for the night and nothing happen at all. Nothing has really happened sense then only now the gate always opens when you go through it.

So what is wrong with this gate is it being open and closed by a ghost whom is a gentleman that use to work at a hotel or some thing and is use to opening doors for every one or what.

The Dark Figures

It was about eight years ago and it was late. I was sleeping,when all of the sudden I was awoken with a tap on the right shoulder, I looked up and all I could see was 4 dark figures looking over me. I trembled with fear as I dashed out of my door to the living room. I snuggled under the covers as I kept trying to fall asleep, but all I could see was the 4 dark figures on the living room wall staring at me. I had not  seen the figures for seven years until just last year.

It was a slow day, my mom was around town and I was on the inter-net all day. Night fall came my mom just walked across the street and I was still playing on line, when suddenly I heard the noise of my bike tire spinning. I was wondering what was going on, my dad was visiting his mom and my mom across the street, so I said "who's in there?" no reply. So I repeated "who's in there?" and still no reply. I crept in the middle room slowly all I see is my bike on its side and the tire wheel spinning.

I told my mom, dad,and everyone I knew. The only one who believed me was my cousin Ryan, so I started to keep things to myself.

One day I walked in my mom and dads room and me and my dad were talking when all of the sudden black crows crowded the window seal. My dad told me that that many black crows means that someone was going to die. I was not to worried at the moment, but about a week later we got some grave news, my great grandmother died.

That is when things started to get really freaky.

I started to notice things going on around me. Whispering in the hallway, knocking on the walls, scratching in the attic,rocking chair in the middle room never stopped rocking,and the shadows started to appear agian. I had to show somebody other than my cousin, so I gathered my friend Blake and my uncle Jeff. We stayed up all night seeing things walking passed us and hearing whispering. We heard and saw doors opening and objects flying.

Its been one year now and I'm fourteen, but still to this day I see and hear things that nobody believes but the ones I've shown and few of the ones I've told.

Is My House Haunted?

One night me and my best friend were on the computer. We started hearing various songs by Nickelback. We didn't think it was a big deal, so we just shrugged it off our shoulders.

Well, the next night we heard a different song by the same artist. We began checking everything from radios, CD players, limewire, etc. We found no explanation.

We went to my room to get something, the radio turned on. Man were we scared. But, instead of running away like we should have we stayed there staring like idiots. Finally we snapped out of it and turned the radio down then off.

We then went to the living room to watch T.V. We turned it to The Grudge Two. A little while after the movie went off, we turned off the T.V and decided to go to sleep. Needless to say, We didn't get much sleep that night.

When I was getting ready to lay down, I looked into the reflection off the T.V and it looked as if a girl was standing in the other room. I quickly got up and turned the T.V back on. My friend asked me what I was doing. I said, "What does it look like, I'm turning on the T.V to watch it." My friend just gave me that, well no kidding look.

As I watch T.V I began to fall asleep.
The next morning I woke up around 12:00p.m. As usual, I got up and fixed me something to eat. I sat back down and turned the T.V on again. Then just to realize that I didn't turn the T.V off that night.

A little while later my parents come home. I asked them, "Did any of you turn off the T.V last night?" They replied, "No, I guess you did because we woke up around 10:35p.m. and the T.V was off." I looked at my friend and said, "Well, did you turn it off?" She replied with a smart comment, "Why would I turn it off when it ain't my place to turn it off?" I just shrugged.

Again, that night we were on the computer and we began hearing the artist Nickelback. This time, we heard another voice singing along with it. That's when it got crazy.

After a while I went outside, sat on the swing, and listened to my CD player. I then got the sense that something, or someone, was near me. I began looking around, I saw nothing. But then I look at the ground, and all of a sudden I see a dog lying down, dead. It couldn't have been my dog because I only had one dog, and she was inside. So I immediately ran inside.

I didn't bother to go back to the computer room, so I watch T.V. Soon, it was nightfall. I woke up, and went into the computer room, finding my friend turning it off. So we went into the living room and watched T.V as usual. She fell asleep on the opposite side of the couch as me, so I decided to get up and get a drink. While looking out of the corner of my eye, I could see a figure sitting on the small couch, I thought it was my mom, so I yelled out, "Mom!!" It didn't respond.

My friend's cover was on the back of that couch. When I went to lay down, I looked back at the couch, and something, or someone, was underneath the cover.
Till this day I still see the figure in the reflection.

Summer Vacation

It was the summer of 2007, in June, and my sister, my cousin, my friend Riley, and I were all jumping on the trampoline outside in the back. We were having a great time, then I suggested that we should have a sense (considering we were all into the paranormal and ghosts and stuff), everyone agreed, but we decided to jump a little longer. So we continued having fun, when my friend Riley glanced at the back sliding glass door to the basement, and screamed. We all looked over at the door, but saw nothing.

"What's wrong?" We asked.

She shivered and said that she had seen two pale, transparent figures in the window. She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but she said that their faces were only a shadow, so she couldn't see their faces, but she could sense them watching her. She said that there was a girl, about mid 20 or 30s, and a young boy, about 8-10.

We were all kind of shaky, but we sat down on the trampoline and decided to continue talking, trying to forget what just happened. Then Riley jumped and said "ow" quietly.

"What?" I asked. "Something poked me in the back." She said turning around.
I shrugged. "Seriously, you come sit here Steph." she said to my cousin.

Stephanie got up and sat down where Riley had been. A shocked look crossed her face and she reached around to her back, turning around.

We all got pretty freaked, so we decided to go inside, as long as it wasn't through the back door, so we walked around front. We went inside and went to the living room, turning on the light.

I went into the kitchen calling out "Anyone else want a marshmallow?"

Everyone said no, so I got out two giant marshmallows and started squishing them together, then I went back into the living room and plopped down on the big comfy chair, still squishing my marshmallow (it was something I enjoyed while I was deeply thinking, and it tasted good aft.

We started talking about what just happened, and Riley got a little jumpy because she was sitting on the couch by the window and it was getting dark outside, so I switched places with Riley. I was sharing the couch with my younger sister, Tinisha, and my cousin Stephanie, was in a rocking chair facing the couch and chair.

Riley asked if we could close the curtain because it was freaking her out, so we did.

Riley and Stephanie were freaking out but my sister and I kinda chuckled, we were used to the house, we lived in it after all.

Stephanie got freaked out, so she went and sat with Riley on the big chair, we talked for a bit about what happened on the trampoline, and I periodically went to the kitchen to get marshmallows to make me feel better,and chocolate milk for everyone. While I was in the kitchen Tinisha jumped and said that she had seen Stephanie's face look like an elderly lady's face, for a second, then it was back to normal.

I came back in and Stephanie moved back to the rocking chair, Riley moved back to the couch, and I moved back to the chair (so we're back where we started). Then Riley saw a silhouette of some people standing behind the rocking chair. Riley and I switched places again (so I was on the couch, Riley was on the chair). Riley asked if we could have a sign to know if there were actually others in the room, a smell, an noise or something, then she laughed a bit and said "How about the smell of pizza!" And a few seconds after she said that, the smell of stale cardboard pizza filled the room. We talked a bit more and Riley and Stephanie were giggling and laughing, then all of a sudden Tinisha started crying. She kept crying and mumbling something about a fire, we asked her a few questions, like her name, what she looked like, and stuff like that, we couldn't really understand her answers, but we thought for sure that she was possessed by one of the ghosts.

We thought she had died in a fire, but she said that her grandson, Damend, had died in a fire and she was supposed to be watching him, but because he was around 8, she didn't think he needed as much supervision, so had let him roam the house. A fire had started and she got out, thinking Damend had too, but when she looked up, she could see him in the window, crying. That's when he died.

Soon Tinisha stopped crying, but Riley had started crying and said that she couldn't move the bottom half of her legs, as if someone was holding her down. She said the hands got tighter and tighter, and she started crying from the pain, while everyone crowded around her, except me, I stayed in the couch, watching all this. We felt the presence of the elderly lady, but another one was holding her back, but it seemed like she got away from it because the pain was pushed away from Riley.

After a while, we started taking about it all, and Tinisha said "I think the grandmother was being held back by a father, or step- father, but it was definitely a male and was in the army at one point of his life." she continued, "And also that the person that was being held down (who was being 'played' by Riley) was someone who was younger then the elderly woman, and the elderly woman knew something was happening to her, so she fought back and went to the younger girls aid." She also thought that the people who were holding her down were two doctors, one was holding her and hurting her for the enjoyment in it, but the other was kind of forced to. And that the younger woman was probably the Damend's mother. We were talking more, then Stephanie gave a small scream and covered her face. When we asked what was wrong she said that she had felt a hand trying to wipe one of her tears away (because she had been crying). Riley started laughing and joked, "I think Damend wants to dance with you!"

We continued talking and stuff, I slid down to the ground and picked up a balloon from Tinisha's birthday party a few weeks ago, and I felt a tugging on it. I laughed a bit and knew it was Damend, so I played with him for a bit. Then my dad came in and said that it was time for bed.

That night, we think that everyone present who no longer had a body and a pulse, had moved on, except Damend and his grandmother. Every now and then, we can still since their presence near. A warm calming presence.

Haunted Hotel

Alivia There were some very strange thing happening at a hotel we were staying at. The things that happened to us were both scary and made us a little curious that is until one night.

Mariah-It was one night when we were goofing off, we ran so fast that I fell on the stairs (on purpose). I laid down pretending I was dead. I look in the reflection of a window and saw a pair of brown trouser and a pair of leather boots on a person walking up the stairs behind me. I was thinking it was someone who was going in who thought I needed help.
I looked back and to my surprise I saw no one. But I had heard heavy footsteps walking up the stairs before and after I looked. I rushed to my friend Alivia and told her what had happen, she didn't believe me until...

Alivia- I thought Mariah was completely  until I saw some one  looking like a foggy image of a person. I was in shock cause no one is see through. I immediately  told Mariah.  It sure enough was the same thing she had saw. The person had really bad style cause he had the brown trousers and a green shirt without anything written on it that I could see, I didn't see the shoes but I had a feeling.

Alivia, Mariah- we were watching a ghost show (cause were crazy) and the lights and T.V flickered not once but twice. Then about five minutes later we heard strange growls. So we got really scared.

So the next day we investigated all the places that had the most paranormal activity and on video caught some pretty insane stuff. First, we repeated what we had done yesterday on the stairs with a hidden camera and caught the beams of a light moving back and fourth, and something weird was happening to the walls. Later that day we heard knocking, growling, and something like a rumble. (don't know what it was). We are still puzzled about what had happened in this hotel.

so we will do further investigation untill we know exactly what was haunting us.

Ghost Boy Followed Me from Tasmania

My year group at school this year went to Tasmania for the year excursion and I now have a little boy ghost following me.

We were staying in the Rutherglen Hotel, and me and my friends were staying in the coach house. Naturally we all went exploring through the coach house to see where we would be staying, and to pick our rooms and beds and unpack. One of my friends said to me that one of the rooms didn't feel right to her, and she didn't like to go in there, so curious me decided to have a look and see what I thought. Anyway, I walked into the room and felt fine, but I was drawn to the wardrobe, and so I opened the wardrobe and stepped in. As soon as I stepped in, I felt very ill and faint. I had to get out of the room as soon as possible or I was going to pass out or throw up or something, so I went downstairs and sat on the lounge.

I was sitting on the lounge and I felt drawn to underneath the staircase, so I stood up and walked over there to have a look. It made me feel sick also so my friend and I decided to take photos around the room and under the staircase. Out of about 25 pictures, we only caught one orb from my friend's camera.

Later that night I decided to go back to the wardrobe to have a further look, and after being in the wardrobe for about 2 minutes, I saw the little boy ghost. He was sitting in the back corner of the wardrobe (it was a walk in wardrobe) and he looked about five years old, and form a different century. He had dark hair, pale skin, and cuts and bruises all over his body. He also had no tongue when I saw him. He was wearing a sort of kimono-styled robe which was white.

Anyway, he looked scared, and he was all of a sudden running at me, and then was gone. I didn't get a chance to talk to him, but I still tried. I looked in the corner of the wardrobe where he was sitting, and found t at there was a huge hole cut out of the side and over the top of the stairs, so I moved what was covering it, and poked my head in to have a look. I saw the little boy once more in there, but again he was gone as quickly as he appeared.

After arriving home from Tasmania, my friend and I were reviewing the photos, and there were more orbs in these than there were when I took the photos. They only came up after returning home. There were collections of small orbs near the wardrobe, and also at one stage there was a small orb above the bed that I was sleeping in.

The weekend after returning home, my boyfriend was at my house for the night and he told me he saw a little boy standing staring at him from next to my two year old sister's toybox in the loungeroom. He described what he looked like and it was certainly my ghost.

Also, my sister's flashing shoes light up sometimes without anything that can cause them to do so as you need to be placing pressure in them to make them light up.

Things have disappeared and then been re found in a place that we have already looked. My tape deck was fully switched of and the volume turned all the way down the other night, but the next day I went to turn it on and the play button was pushed down and the volume all the way up, and nobody had touched it for a few days.

On my way walking to school sometimes I feel somebody tugging at my hair or stroking my hair, and poking my arm. Last week at school, at recess my leg started to bleed (at a scab) and I hadn't picked it or bumped into anything that could have made it bleed.

We managed to also get an orb in our loungeroom.

Last night I wanted to take pictures in my room, but my camera was refusing to work properly and turn on, but the batteries were fully charged and new, and my camera is undamaged and the card has got plenty of space left.

I am now in the process of trying to contact him, but it is proving very difficult at the moment. I want to know his name, and why he has followed me all the way from Tasmania when I live in Deniliquin NSW.

Hope you liked the story.
