Story #1
We were so exited we had a new home to move to and everything seemed great. We had our lovely Daughter Faith and we were looking forward to a new start
When we first moved into the house everything was fine, a few months later I was pregnant with our second child, life couldn’t have been better we had so much to look forward to. One day while we were going around our daily chores my daughter Faith suddenly went flying and hurt her mouth, as she was only a year or so old I put it down to clumsiness but I had an uneasy feeling as I was sure it looked as though she had been pushed over.
Then it all started, over the course of the next 8 months we would come home to lights on, knowing id turned them all off. I even double checked when I went out and I know I never left any lights on. The fridge doors were left open, and I constantly had feelings that someone was watching me or had been in the house. The feeling in the house became dark and we all started to feel it.
I started to hate being there I was frightened to be alone in the house because of the strange goings on. I tried my best to put a logical explanation to it all, maybe I was being forgetful or my daughter was playing around with things, but she was too young and I know I was checking things. It started to feel like I was going mad!!
Then one terrifying evening the activity increased, it was just me and my daughter at night, we had gone to bed and suddenly the light bulb in the hall went off and the light flew from the ceiling and smashed into the wall the other side of the hallway. Terrified I shot out of bed and went to Faiths room and in the corner of the room felt like there was a man (or thing) crouched down hiding in the shadows. As I picked up my daughter she gave me the strangest look and said big man big man… suddenly I heard the most chilling sound from the corner of the room which I can only describe as a growl. Terrified we spent the night awake until the morning when I tried to make sense of what I’d seen and heard. But there seemed no explanation and I realised something paranormal was going on and we could no longer deny it.
My daughters behaviour suddenly changed to if she went back into that room her whole physical behaviour changed and she would speak in a strange growl like voice almost as though this thing was speaking through her. I was so afraid I slept with her and banned anyone from the room. She often refused to sleep saying there was a big man about.
It wasn’t just us who experienced the events ion the house, friends and family were growled at and someone was even bitten by something in the bathroom you could see the mark and it was so sudden it was terrifying. Toys would go off on their own and lights on and off all night.
I knew something very evil was in the house and did not want us there, and was attacking my children I always felt like someone was watching me and many times in the kitchen I would turn around sure that someone was right behind me for nobody to be there.
After months of living with this evil presence I eventually was afraid for the safety of my family, and we decided to get the hell out of there.. I was and still am very Thankful we moved.
Story #2
Our feature story of the week was sent in from Manchester, please note the names have been changed at the request of the family.
The story begins just after Irene (the grandmother) was taken into hospital, she had been poorly for some time with a cold which had developed into pneumonia. Whilst in hospital Irene’s condition began to improve and Judy (her daughter) decided that Irene was well enough to visit and to take her grandson John, John was twelve years old.
John had a history of unusual events around the paranormal when very young he used to tell tales of dogs flying around the ceiling and having a close imaginary friend who left him to (in his own words) pass on, but this had lessened in later life.
The hospital visit was nothing out of the ordinary and Irene did appear to be much better in fact this was the best she had been since she had been in there, she was able to sit up for the first time and was talking and laughing with Judy and John.
After the visit John had 3 dreams which we will be posting on separate days this week, this is the first of those dreams.
At 7.00am in the morning John went downstairs after having a nightmare, his mum noticed that he was very pale and seemed quite frightened and being concerned asked what the contents of the dream were.
John said that he had seen his Nan lying on a white tablecloth across the dining room table in the back room of their house. When he approached her she was sleeping he knew she was still ill and as he approached a small creature crawled out of her ear and proceeded to walk across the room. He knew this is what was causing her illness and tried to stamp on the creature, but the creature began to grow to approximately a foot wide he was still trying to kill the creature when he awoke.
Judy comforted her son and quite perturbed decided to ring the hospital. When she rang the hospital she was advised that her mother had taken a turn for the worst during the night and the family were asked to attend, she died later that morning.
The funeral occurred approximately one week later. After the funeral there was a gathering held at Judy’s home, sandwiches and food were laid across the dining room table at the back of the house, John turned to his mother and said that the tablecloth which the food was on was exactly the same as the one in the dream, this tablecloth had recently been purchased and John had never seen it before.
Tomorrow’s instalment Johns messages to the siblings.
Story #3
When I was 5 I used to sit and chat to a lady in my bedroom and she used to sing me a song. My mum asked me what I was doing one day and I said the lady is teaching me a song. I sang my mum the song and described the lady. My mum mentioned it to my dad. Turns out id described his mum ( my grandma who had died many years before) and the song was one she sang to him as a little boy.
My mum had also seen her in the corner of the room the day I was born.i was seriously ill and my grandma had been present throughout labour and then accompanied me to scbu.
When I was a young teen I kept saying there was a girl called Alice who wouldn’t leave me alone and kept following me in the house and wanting me to play. She sometimes had a boy called jack with her who would play ball in my room.
Alice and jack followed me and hung out in my bedroom most days. Usually wanting to play though Alice was also quite naughty and also often hid things.
Sadly after about 2 years I lost my temper one day and shouted at Alice to leave me alone and never come back. …..I never saw or heard Alice again.
