I was getting a tattoo the other day and the tattoo artist and I got into a conversations about ghosts and situations that we’ve both been in pertaining to ghostly appearances. It made me realize that
I think I may be a magnet for ghosts or ghost-like beings. I can’t go six months without having some sort of encounter with one. These are legit situations that really did happen to me and yet when I tell people, they immediately don’t believe what I’m saying. Every situation, I’ve tried to think of logical reasons “how it just looked like a girl with shoulder length hair just ducked from behind the chair in my parents living room” or “ why do all the doors in my apartment open randomly without anyone in the house but me?” (I’m getting the chills just re-living these things in my memory). These are things that have REALLY happened.
Someone told me once that since I believe in ghosts, it makes me more open to seeing them. I guess it makes sense, but I’ve heard plenty of story’s of people who do not believe in them that have had ghostly encounters. I read in the newspaper today about a very regular, normal person waking up at 2 am to the feeling of being pulled towards the end of her bed. There was another story where a ghost had been following this man for close to 8 years. It’ll be sitting in a chair near him in a restaurant, or hanging out in the dude’s office, watching him as he worked. You can’t just make up a story like that. One of the 1st columns I wrote for grscreamer.com I wrote about a situation that happened at my old apartment. That went on for a year, and I told my family and friends about it as it went on, so I think it made it more believable to people because they were there along the way to witness it with me. Some friends even were there when I discovered ghostly things happen in the apartment.
Some people ask me if I get scared when these things happen to me. Well, once I was sleeping in my parents basement when I woke up at 4:30 am and heard someone whisper something in my ear (talk to me if you want to know what it whispered). For six months after that, whenever I slept over my parents house, I didn’t even want to go downstairs, I was so scared. It was also disturbing that for about four months after the incident I would wake up at 4:30 every night just long enough to look at the clock and wonder why I always wake up at that time.
Ghostly things occur to me every 6 months or so now. It’s to the point where it happens so frequently, I don’t really tell many people because I feel like they think I’m just making it up for attention (I WISH).
I like storytelling and talking about these situations I always seem to find myself in, so if you’re curious, just ask! I’m curious to hear other people’s ghost stories
