Nostradamus

This is a brief story about one of my many scary experiences I had. This one was about Nostradamus a famous man in history with a dark tale. We all know of him to be a man famous for his predictions but the methods he used was not of God and more  of the occult. I read the day before well it was actually a few years ago it happened that he was involved in the occult and he even predicted that he was going to hell for it.

The following day I told my brother and cousin about it and even pull up the article on Google. My brother sat directly in front of the pc while my cousin and I were almost side by side. As he neared the part I told them off where it was said he predicted he was going to hell on the table where the pc was I was a black hand from the arm to the hand rest on the pc and I saw my cousin push the chair back and jumped up. At the same time we asked did you see that then I said tell me what you saw I kept my own to myself until I knew if we was on the same track and he said he saw a black then I finish by saying arm rest right there my brother was too close so he was unaware of a dark hand resting right a little off from him and this was one of my many paranormal experiences I shared with a family member.

Sleep Paralysis and Fear

I have always suffered from this sleep problem since I was about 11 or 12 years old, I couldn't understand why this happened to me. As you know in those times, back in the 50's and 60's, things of this nature were kept behind close doors. As a child that I was it was very frightful, I knew I was awake but there was nothing I could do about it. The feeling of fear that I had was very overwhelming, I couldn't turn to my family because of there old fashion ways. The nightmare happened to me twice a week, I could hear my mother's voice or someone standing next to me while I lay helplessly in bed, not able to move... The pressure I felt on my chest was very bad and at time I felt pain.  But as time passed by, I noticed it only happens when I'm laying face up in bed or on my tummy, never on my side.

As the years pass by I learn to control theses feeling by praying and trying not to think about what was around me, and ride this feeling of fear away from me. As time passes by I had less and less nightmares, and now that I'm older I don't have them no more... but still even now in the back of my mind, I will always remember what happen to me as a child.

Shadows of Two Girls at my Door

It all started this year back in I'd say January. However it always started in the middle of the night. The first night it started I was too afraid to even move. It all took place at the door to come into my room. They looked like shadows of two girls about the age of maybe 11 and 8. They always seemed so cheerful. One night I wanted to talk to them and see them a little bit closer, but sadly once I did they disappeared into thin air. I was actually looking forward to actually communicate with them.

I tried to tell my sister and my parents but they didn't believe me. I guess its a little bit hard to understand something you've never seen before. But there are also even more strange occurrences that occur in my home like when I was about five years old I would here loud footsteps coming from the attic and the time when one night I was sleeping (I was three years old at the time) and a shadowy figure was trying to untangle the balloon strings wrapped around me. But I still don't think those creatures was trying to harm me. I personally think they where my guardian angels. Sorry that's the end of my story but if I have another possibly paranormal experience I will definitely tell you.

Ghost Children in Elementary School?

It was a beautiful summer day. It was August one7, 2010, and I was riding my bike to meet a friend to hang out there at an elementary school I went to in the past. As I'm approaching the playground we said we were to meet, I see 3 children playing in said playground. My friend and I being about the same age, I assume he is there along with a couple friends of his. I turn my bike around the library (the playground was next to the school library, so I had to go around it.) As I turn the corner, I notice that something's wrong. As I reach the gates into the playground, I notice there are no children inside the playground. I then start to think I was seeing things. But it was 5 seconds from the time I saw them to when I reached the gate. I don't think they climbed the fences that quickly, and if they happened to climb them THAT fast, I would've seen them run away. I also remember that since it's summer break, the school would be locked up except the outside gates to let people get in to walk or play, so they couldn't have went there, Also, I notice that the playground I saw them in had only one gate, which meant one way in, one way out. I then started to think that my friends were playing a trick on me and hide behind the flower beds when I arrive, like they did a few days ago. I look in the flower beds and no one was hiding there. As I leave, I instantly remember that a plane crash occurred in the schoolyard years ago and that there may have been children killed in the crash. I now think that I saw the ghosts of victims of a plane crash in an elementary school.

The Night after the Funerals

The second night after my grandpa's funerals, we were all united to mourn. As the tradition suggests, the whole family has to wait three days to get to their normal activities so, I had my aunts and uncle over for the night. That night, I slept with my sister, the lights on, because everything was so blurry around me. The house was like under a curse or something, you could not but feel a weird presence, it'd lost its bliss. So I went to sleep at around 10 pm, and at around midnight, I woke up. The lights were still on in my room and my sister was deep asleep. It was kind of creepy, the atmosphere gave me the creeps even though my family was sleeping in the living room. Suddenly as I blinked, I saw an illusionary figure, all dressed in white, saying to me 'You went to sleep early tonight.'

I was paralyzed with fear, I wanted to shout but I could not. I still remember this night so well and I wonder how I had the courage to not move !  Well It's a true story.

Nightmares Depression and Hallucinations

I've been having nightmares daily for the past couple of years. It all started one summer when I got very depressed for no reason, I had hallucinations, and that is when my nightmares started. I no longer feel scared and depressed like I did that summer.

Most of my nightmares are about me seeing people suffering and I'm trying to help them or me killing "bad" people. I've never had a traumatic event and recently I found out my older brother has nightmares night as well.

We've come to wonder if its a bad vibe in the house? Or maybe something bad targeting us? Any thoughts?

The Myth that Came True

My father tells a scary story to my little cousins each year.  It's always the same one, but every year a new child is invited into our family, seeing as I have many aunts, uncles, older cousins, and siblings. He tells this story and makes one of his children (it's mostly me) go outside with a mask on and scare the kids. They still haven't figured out it isn't true. But one night when I was babysitting all of my younger cousins, which is estimated about 10 (I'm not even kidding). It was midnight and they had been asleep for a few hours. My parents and aunts/uncles were still not home, I was the only one up. I heard a bang upstairs and yelled, "get back to sleep!" For another few minutes it was quiet. I went back to reading my book. I got hungry and decided to get an apple from the kitchen. Our house in kind of big, and to get from the living room to the kitchen there is a long hallway with windows lined up all the way on both sides. It was windy outside, so when I heard tapping on the window, I ignored it and told myself it was just a tree. When I got back into the living room, one of my cousins was curled up on the couch with tears in his eyes.
