СКАЧАТЬ figure of the giraffe peek around the corner, near the hallway. This figure was on the floor on the other side of the room from where it was originally placed on the sofa table. It was amazing.

      There was some other strange phenomenon going on in the father’s bedroom. The owner’s son started hearing noises and a female voice in the bedroom. He decided to video tape the occurrences. He claimed to have sensed a weird energy or spirit every time he entered the room. He also felt a squeezing sensation on his chest and it was hard to breathe. In the mirror, he caught a reflection of an older man looking at him, which scared him. He ran out of the room after seeing this. He was afraid to go back into that room again. Later that night, he set up a camera in the living room. He fell asleep on the couch near the recorder. He was sleeping peacefully until he heard a loud banging sound. He abruptly woke up and walked around the living room. He inspected the room thoroughly but could not find anything unusual. The next morning he reviewed the tape. He was shocked and frightened when he saw the footage. The tape revealed as he was getting up from the couch, a transparent grey arm swooped out of nowhere and tried to grab him. It just missed him by a few inches.

      A few days later when the boys returned home from work they noticed the giraffe was missing. They found it broken in several pieces all over the floor near the hallway. After this incident, everything in the house went back to normal. No-more paranormal activity occurred.

      In May of 2011, a new reality paranormal TV show aired called "The Haunted Collector". John Zaffis, a famous "demonologist" heads the team of paranormal investigators. John has worked on both the "Amityville Horror" and "The Haunting in Connecticut" cases. John's team investigates hauntings pertaining to objects that may be haunted or possessed and are causing paranormal activity to occur. He then removes the objects from the location that is experiencing the haunting and re locates them to his museum in Connecticut. The museum contains hundreds of possessed possessions that he has collected over 30 years.

      In one episode, John and his team go the Backside Ale House in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he arrives, he asks the owner about some of the Native American artifacts he notices displayed around the restaurant. She claims that she purchased an authentic tomahawk and an old whiskey jig from an antique store in Albuquerque. She has also found an arrowhead on the property. His team finds a wooden box that contains a detonator in the attic.

      The Backside Ale House claims some unusual occurrences: such as a fireplace that ignited itself, beer taps that open on their own, footsteps and shadows. The gas on the stove turns on by itself.

      The team did a daytime sweep and discovered voice responses on the EVP. Also one of the team members experienced hearing footsteps, and seeing shadows outside the bathroom door. All of the team members experienced something burning but there was no fire anywhere.

      At night the building seems very hot and the attic has very high EMF readings. John brings the detonator to a coal mining expert the next day. The expert tells John that the old mining box was used for dynamite. He says in the 1920's, there was a mine explosion where several workers were killed. The bodies of these men were never recovered because the mine is still on fire today.

      Could this be what is causing the haunting at the "Backside Ale House" The owner asks John if he can take the detonator with him and add it to his museum. He gladly accepts it in hoping to put the haunting to rest.

      I went to the Backside Ale House in August 2011. I took photos inside the restaurant and outside on the property. I saw an orb appear next to the hanging fireplace near the bar. I also went into the ladies bathroom and I felt a little uneasy. It felt like someone was in there with me. I snapped a photo near the wall next to the toilet. A huge orb appeared hovering next to me. Could this be one of the spirits of the miners? It seemed to be just as curious about me as I was about it.

      When I was seven years old before I was influenced by any of these TV programs, I was convinced that my life sized baby doll was alive and possessed by an evil spirit. It was actually my height at the time. I don’t remember where it came from or even asking for something like that. I remember the doll had blue eyes that seemed to stare at me and watch my every move. At night time it would take on a different mood and almost look real and life like in the shadows. It would be sitting in the chair at the edge of the bed and then suddenly appear in a different part of the room. I don’t ever remember moving it because I didn’t want to touch it. There was something creepy about it and I was afraid to even go near it. There were some other weird occurrences going on in the apartment that I lived in. Such as my brother and I seeing apparitions of an old woman sitting in the same chair rocking back and forth and a misty figure resembling the devil or a demon looming over me when I was trying to sleep. These two stories are in my first book "Walking with Ghosts."

      I remember telling my parents about these apparitions. My father opened up the closet and pulled out the huge doll and showed it to us and said" this is what you saw" and dismiss this as our over active imaginations. I protested and said "no that's not what I saw. I saw an old woman and a devil figure at my bed", however this doll was just as scary. I felt really uneasy and sick around the doll. I begged and pleaded with my father to get rid of this doll. When he finally did, I don't recall seeing anything else in the bedroom. I never saw the apparitions again. The room felt lighter and brighter. I didn't feel afraid anymore. I believe there was a negative spirit associated with this doll. It could have possessed this object and caused the occurrences in my bedroom.

      Many years later, I asked my father where he bought that huge, life like doll. And he said "I didn't buy it, someone that used to live in the apartment before us must have left it behind". He said when we moved in he found it in the closet.

      Another weird incident that happened to me was when I decided to buy a weird looking Halloween decoration. This was much later on when I was in my late 20's.

      I saw this 3 ft figure of a devil in a local hardware store called Luhrs in Milford, Pennsylvania. The strange thing is that I would never go into this store all the times that I passed by it. However, something that day made me curious to go inside and check it out. I was in the process of moving and wanted to go look at some various paint colors for my room. As I was walking over to the paint section, I glanced over to my right and discovered the scary looking figure.

      The figure had a red porcelain face and small black horns. The hair was coarse and made of a thick straw like material. The body was made of two sticks covered by a burlap robe. The contours of the face were shaped perfectly, given it high cheekbones a pointy nose and chin. The eyes and face were intricately painted making it look very realistic.

      When I brought it home, my dog was immediately afraid of it. He would growl and bark at it. I thought it was funny because it was so tall and he was small, he thought it was a real person. My dog Kiki, is a pug, which is a small dog, so anything to him would appear big. The figure had a pitch fork attached to his hand. I would chase my dog with it and he would run away. I then began to realize my dog seemed to be truly frightened of this figure. I decided to stop teasing him with it. I noticed every time he walked by it, he would duck quickly and run away from it. Almost as if it was lounging towards him to grab or startle him. It would fall over and my dog would avoid going near it. I photographed it and some orbs appeared hovering above it and around it. Could there possibly be a spirit attached to this object? I had the figure for a few years and it started to get worn. The face cracked and I decided to dispose of it. The problem was that I got attached to it and I didn't have the heart to get rid of it. I finally moved it out of my apartment and left it in the hallway. I turned it around and faced it towards the wall so it wouldn't startle or scare me when I walked around the corner. Something prevented me from throwing it away. I asked my friend to get rid of it for me. I told her not to tell me when or how she was going to dispose of it, just do it. One day I returned to my apartment after work and I realized the Devil statue was gone. I asked her, when did you get rid of it and she said "today but I had it in my car for a week. I kept riding around with it every day but kept forgetting to throw it СКАЧАТЬ
