My wife and children had gone out of town for a couple weeks and one evening as I was asleep I felt someone crawl in bed next to me. Remember, I was dead asleep so I imagined originally that it was my wife. It was when I felt very frigid and heard the voice of a woman not my wife that I knew it was indeed a spirit making contact. The woman whispered into my ear with such a calming voice "wake up." So of course I woke up and got out of bed in a hurry quite startled and turned on the bathroom light in my room to look around. There was nothing to be seen. I thought maybe I was dreaming, but couldn't shake the feeling of how real it felt. Not even a few minutes had passed when my wife had called me to tell me that a spider bit one of my daughters and that they were headed to the emergency room. As ironic as the situation was I went back to bed once I ended the phone conversation with my wife and without hesitating left the bathroom light on that evening.
Not longer than a couple days passed when the psychic I was previously speaking to informed me that I had a little boy attached to me and had been attached to me for many years. As I pondered this information I realized that this was most likely the same little boy from my child hood. This oddly enough did not frighten me but rather made me comfortable. He is still with me today and follows me everywhere I go. I can always feel his presence around me. I wondered who he was and then one evening I asked his name and immediately the name Christopher was in more forethought. I believe him to be a guardian in my life, one who looks over me always. Once I acknowledged the unknown the more things that happened.
I began opening my experiences up to my wife to help her understand what was happening. She of course told me that all I was doing was telling ghost stories to try and frighten her. A few days later the both of us awoke to what sounded like children running up and down the stairs. At this time we had no animals and I got up to see if the kids were awake. My children were fast asleep and the sound of children running up and down the stairs was clear. Almost like they were at play. Was this Christopher and another child, I asked myself. I had many questions I wanted to ask the psychic and the paranormal investigator about with regards to the supernatural events occurring in my house. So I ask my questions and did some research of the land my house was on and what I learned was shocking.
My house was a location of military medical tents where several soldiers, women, and children had died from Tuberculosis. I further found out that a woman was a caretaker for many children that were sick during this time period. This I tied to the woman whispering "wake up" to me in the middle of the night when my child was sick in another state and the sound of children running up and down the stairs.
Soon I realized I had to learn how to communicate and open my senses when my wife called me at work confused and scared with the fact that as my daughter was asleep in bed one morning the fire alarms went off throughout the house and as soon as she awoke and said "mommy" the alarms went off. It was almost as if the children wanted to play so they woke her up.
I began my communication with a circle of toys on the living room floor after I put the girls to bed one night. I sent my wife upstairs and I spoke out loud to the ghosts in my house to let them know I wanted to sleep that night and to play with the toys I set out to keep them busy. I wanted to see if the toys would move through the night. Something worked because I heard no noises that night and my wife and I slept peacefully. That next morning the girls were still asleep when I got up to make some coffee and look at the toys to see if they had moved. Indeed the toys were scattered throughout the living room as if children were playing through the night. I thought this was amazing and confirmed that we indeed had real ghosts living among us.
Because I never felt anything evil I continued my adventure of learning the supernatural. The more I opened up to it the more things that happened. One evening I awoke to a feeling that someone was watching me. When I opened my eyes there was a little girl that was bright and beautiful, with long blonde hair, and wearing a dress that resembled the clothing worn in the late 1800's early 1900's. When I reached for her she walked away ultimately vanishing into the night. I was never afraid of what I saw and with no problems went back to sleep.
That next day I contacted the paranormal investigator to see if he could come out to see what she wanted. I had a feeling that evening she wanted to tell me something. So the paranormal investigator came out to ask the questions to hope for a response. We indeed found out that she wanted to go home. So the paranormal investigator whom is also a man of God helped her find the light and I never again heard the running of the stairs or saw her figure. I felt as though she had moved on to where she wanted to go.
My senses have opened tremendously over the last year or so and I have had several other contacts from the supernatural, not only in my home but also in other states and places like friends homes. What is to come will blow your mind. In addition, I have learned to help others through my abilities to communicate. Real ghost stories are possible and true, so believe and I will see you soon in part 3.

Post a CommentVery much true and very much real. I am glad you all enjoyed my story. It is interesting, but sometimes startling at moments. happy writing :)
I can't believe it (but I believe it:)) that all these things happened in your house. The placing of the toys in the living room is amazing, after that, that is real evidence that there is something taking place. So interesting.
I just researchd haunted places in Pennsylvania for an EduBook article, so ghost stories are on my mind.
Wow... What a story.
Very interesting story...learned my lesson though...next time will not read while alone at night in a darkened room..
