A CHRISTMAS HAUNTING SONG

This is a nice story, thank you L.
"HAUNTING CHRISTMAS SONG

On February 7, 2009 my Mom passed away of terminal cancer. Prior to her death, we had talked about the afterlife. I asked her if she could send me a sign after she was gone to let me know that she was ok. She said that she would if she could.

That night I went to bed after crying myself to sleep and at about 4 a.m. I was lying there thinking about our conversation when all of the sudden a doll that played the song "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" went off in my little girl's room all by itself.

There was nothing near it and no way it could have gone off. My daughter had just gotten it for Christmas. And now a year later it hasn't happened again. Christmas was my Mom's favorite holiday. I am sure that it was her. Or is it just a coincidence? - Luetta

Star Of Bethelem

I am sure that many of you have heard the thought that the famed star proclaiming the Birth Of Jesus may have been an undetected UFO.Here is an expert with another yake on it.
"Author L.A. Marzulli discussed his latest research on the evidence of UFOs that fly with impunity in our skies and offered an explanation of the Bethlehem star of 2000 years ago.
Rather than a UFO or mothership, he suggested the Star of Bethlehem was a rare conjunction of the planet Jupiter next to the star Regulus. A group of priests in Babylon, the Magi, who were the kingmakers of the ancient world, observed this in this sky and determined an important event was about to take place. This coincided with Jesus' birth, which he said was actually Sept. 11, 3 AD. The reason Christmas is celebrated on December 25th has more to do with mirroring the ancient Roman holiday of Saturnalia, he explained.

PHANTOM CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Stephen Wagner shared this story on About Paranormal another for The Count Down To Christmas.

"In the early morning hours of December 6, 2009 I saw something very strange. I wake up a lot throughout the night because I have a toddler to check on, and I was also six months pregnant and needed to use the restroom frequently.

That night I initially awoke because there was a lot of light coming in from the windows at the back of the house. As soon as I realized I was awake, I went to the nearest window and looked outside to see why it was so bright outside.

About 400 yards behind my house is a very large hill that juts up steeply out of the surrounding flat landscape. We live in the Nevada desert, so even though it is a long distance, there isn't much to obstruct my view. Halfway up the hill is a single house. It is the only house for several hundred yards around it. At the foot of the hill is a retaining wall, and as I gazed out my window during the wee hours of the morning, it looked as though there was a group of people busily putting up gold Christmas lights along the wall. I thought they were a little strange to be putting Christmas lights up in the middle of the night, but then I reasoned that maybe they worked nights or something and were used to the odd hours.

I left the window, checked on my toddler, then went to the restroom. After 5 to 10 minutes, I came back to the window and watched them work some more. They were quite a distance away and I couldn't see a lot of details, but it appeared that they were making quick progress and I watched them for several more minutes, puzzling a little that someone must be very dedicated to Christmas to put lights up so late.

Eventually, I went back to bed, putting a sleeping mask on to block out the light streaming in from the window. It didn't take long before I fell back to sleep.

The next morning I immediately looked out the window to see how the project finished. From my vantage point, in the light of day, I couldn't see anything. I decided maybe it was too far away to see lights that had been hung but weren't actually lit, so I decided I should wait for nightfall when the lights would be lit again.

Well, you probably guessed the rest. I checked for several nights and never did see the lights come back on. After four days, I walked to the back edge of my property and stood against my own rear wall to get the best view possible. It became clear that there were no lights at all hung on the retaining wall. The wall was entirely bare with absolutely no decoration.
I don't know what I saw that night; it was pretty far away. From that distance I can only be certain that my eyes assumed I was looking at a group of people putting up Christmas lights. And I am absolutely positive that I was completely wide awake when I saw it." - 2charming

CHRISTMAS HELL HOUND

Mandee tells us

"There's a strange road I have to take to get back home. There are always weird shadows and other unexplained things that seem to enchant the roadway. One night I believe whatever it is that haunts this stretch of pavement may have come home with me.

I was driving home alone, my car filled with Christmas presents, when I began to get near the "haunted" area of road. As I made a right onto the road, a large, shadowy figure darted in front of my car. I slammed on the brakes and the truck behind me nearly crashed into me. Shaking, I gingerly placed my foot back on the pedal and continued down the road.

As I came to a bend in the road, it slowly began to climb and my headlights washed over a strange, shadowy creature crouched on the double-lines. It stared at me with orange-yellow eyes, and then it bolted to the right. Again I slammed on my brakes and ignored the annoyed honk behind me as I watched the creature, which looked like an enormous black dog, continue to stare at me as it ran across the road and up and over a high fence (that no normal dog could clear). Scared out of my mind, I hurried home.

Sunday night: I was watching TV in my family room with my daughter, who was curled up asleep on the opposite couch. Out of the corner of my eye I saw waves of energy (that's the only way to describe it) seem to generate over the floor. Just black waves. Then it felt like someone punched the right side of my skull so hard that I was seeing stars! My head throbbed and I fell to the floor, waking up my daughter.

Clearly alarmed, she asked what was wrong and I said that it felt like someone punched me, but we were the only two home! Ever since then I've been getting these horrible migraines and feel as if I'm hallucinating. I'd experimented with acid while in college and that's exactly how these hallucinations seem. But I have no history of any kind of mental disease and I have never hallucinated in my life!

Has something from the "haunted road" followed me home? - Mandee M.

A CHRISTMAS HAUNTING

Jim shared his experience from About Paranoemal in the Christmas Ghost listings presented by S Wagner.

"These events occurred in Toronto, Ontario in December, 2009. I had just started seeing a new girl and she invited me over for dinner a few days before Christmas. It was my first time visiting her apartment, which she shared with a roommate who had already left to go home for the holidays.

After dinner, we went out to her covered porch for a smoke. As soon as I went into the room, I was drawn to a curious, faded portrait hanging on the wall. The portrait showed a woman in her late 20s or early 30s, and she seemed have a strange sentience in her stare. I asked the girl about it, and she said it was a picture of her great-great-aunt, taken in 1907. She took the picture off the wall and showed me the date scrawled on the back of the frame.

Later, we were in her room watching television and I took a bathroom break. The bathroom was adjacent to her room, and it had old plumbing - her sink had dual faucets for hot and cold water. I washed my hands in cold water when I was finished. I am 100 percent certain of it, and I cannot explain what happened next.

After I rejoined the girl, we were talking when all of a sudden, the sound of running water rose from the adjacent bathroom. She looked at me and said, "You left the water running."

"No, I didn't," I told her. "I'm sure I turned if off." And I was. I washed my hands in cold water and I certainly wouldn't leave someone's bathroom without turning off the faucet.

When I got up to check the bathroom, sure enough, the water was running. Thinking I somehow must have left the water running, I went to turn off the cold water tap on the dual faucets... but it was already locked in place! It wasn't turned on! The hot water was running. I didn't touch the hot water tap when I was in there not two minutes earlier. I am 100 percent certain of it.

Suddenly, I felt an extremely cold chill. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, but it's probably just because I got so suddenly spooked knowing some unseen force had turned the tap on. The girl and I talked about it afterward, and it all came back to the strange picture of her great-great-aunt hanging in the covered porch. She said she had the picture since she was very young, and it had always transfixed her.

She said this wasn't the first time strange things like that had happened - the lights turned themselves on and off, and the television did, too - and that it always seemed to be triggered by a male presence in the house. I asked why. She said she'd see what she could find out about her great-great-aunt.

It turns out her great-great-aunt had committed suicide when her husband left her for another woman. All I know is that the hot water tap turned itself on. - Jim T."

Angels

Author Lorna Byrne, discussed on her lifelong contact with angels. Byrne, who claims to have been interacting with the entities for as long as she could remember, quipped that she has seen angels "from the moment I opened my eyes."
Over the course of her life, she said, these beings have facilitated contact with her deceased brother as well as foretold who her husband would be and how their relationship would progress. Based on her experience and ability to see the entities.

She believes that every person, regardless of religion or morality, has a guardian angel. In fact, they are so pervasive, Byrne said she would be shocked if she saw someone "without the light of a guardian angel."

On why it appears that guardian angels help some people and not others, Byrne explained that they are only allowed a limited amount of intervention. Ultimately, she said, it is up to humans whether or not they will listen to their guardian angel. "We're the ones that have the power, you have to remember," she observed, "we're the ones who have the power to go right when, deep down inside of us, we know we should go left." She stressed that learning to recognize these messages from our guardian angels, no matter how subtle, could have a profound impact on not only ourselves, but the world at large. "If we'd only listen a little bit more and respond," Byrne mused, "life would be much easier. I know we wouldn't be having war at all."

Snakes On A Plane for Real

Not a paranormal story but seems like a horrible experience to me.Give me Ghosts any day...
"A passenger was arrested after security officials discovered he had carried snakes, birds and a squirrel in hand luggage on a long-haul flight.

In a thankfully less-dramatic version of the 2006 thriller film Snakes On A Plane, fellow passengers were blissfully unaware of the man's box full of pets.

However, police arrested the suspect at Abu Dhabi International Airport after the Etihad Airways flight from Jakarta, Indonesia, when the animals were found with him.

The snakes were identified by an expert as being non-venomous reticulated and blood pythons.

It was unclear how he managed to get the animals past security in Indonesia.

Khamis al Marar, the acting director general of security affairs and ports in Abu Dhabi, stressed that carrying animals on board is strictly prohibited.

In this case, other passengers' safety was at risk, he said.



He added that licensed animals had to travel in specially designed boxes, which should be stored in the aircraft's hold.

The unidentified passenger was travelling on Etihad Airlines flight EY471.

A spokesman said: 'Etihad can confirm a passenger arriving on EY471 from Jakarta on December 3 was detained at Abu Dhabi International Airport, after airport officials located a bag containing live animals on the passenger.

'The matter has been investigated by airport and police authorities and Etihad has co-operated fully on this issue.'

Speaking about how the passenger was able get through security screening, she added: 'This is a matter for airport authorities in Jakarta.

'The airline is currently working with the authorities on their investigation.

'Etihad is increasing its own random hand luggage screening as a result of this incident.'

Last year a Qantas flight was grounded after four pythons being carried in the hold escaped in flight between Alice Springs and Melbourne."By James White

CHRISTMAS GHOST'S CARESS

Tis the Season for Christmas Spirits.Here is an experience recently reported.

"It was Christmas time of 1995 or '96 at my aunt's house on a reservation in North Dakota. Some of my family was in the living room watching television, the kids were playing in the rooms or sleeping, and my uncle, aunt and I were sitting at the table putting a puzzle together. My cousin, who worked at a casino, would come home around midnight or 1 a.m.

This night, as she pulled up and was walking toward the house, she looked in the window and saw me sitting at the table, my uncle sitting across from me and someone standing to the left of me and someone standing in the corner, so she continued to walk in the house thinking nothing of it. When she got in she said her hellos, put her stuff away and came and joined us at the table.

As we were sitting there talking, she looked at me and asked who was standing next to me a few minutes ago and who was in the corner. I told her no one and she said, "Yeah, there was someone standing next to you. It looked like your mom and she was playing with your hair." (I have long hair, which I used to wear down all the time.) She said this person was running her hand on my hair, like a mother does to a child.
rs up and down that someone was standing over me rubbing my head and watching me put the puzzle together with my aunt and uncle, and that there was another person standing behind this person. We got around to thinking it was probably her mom she saw. (She passed away on her birthday a week before Christmas back in 1992.)

In my family we consider our aunts and uncles to be just like our moms and dads. After thinking that it could have been her, it didn't scare me so much. However, we couldn't figure out who the person was standing in the corner. And always around Christmas time something strange always happens... and we just think it's her visiting us. "- V. Page

Sounds Interesting.Who Knew

Recently,Dr. Bradley Nelson discussed how people carry trapped emotions that affect their well being. He discovered that "emotional baggage that people were hanging onto was making them sick and creating depression and anxiety, and phobias...and that it's the biggest underlying source of disease." Intense emotions that a person can't process can become lodged in the body as a ball of energy that can distort a person's natural field, he explained.

After tapping into the subconscious to identify trapped energies, he said that magnets can be used to clear them. The magnets, which could be just ordinary refrigerator magnets, are run along the Governing Meridian, starting at upper lip, over the nose and over the top of the head, going all the way to the top of the tailbone, he detailed. Nelson also talked how the heart has a kind of brain, and most people have erected a detrimental heart wall that keeps them from closed off.

Just yesterday, in 1872, the abandoned ship Mary Celeste was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean. The cause of the ship's desertion and the fate of its 10 passengers remains a mystery. Theories on what happened include a pirate attack, an encounter with a waterspout, a mutiny by the crew, and an accident involving the ship's cargo: barrels of alcohol

The Mind & Quantum Techniques:

A very interesting report of a recent Coast To Coast AM program...
"On Tuesday's show, psychologist Dr. Garland Landrith, whose research was cited in the movie What the Bleep, discussed how inner thoughts can alter the physical realm through various methods including mass consciousness experiments, prayer, and "tapping" techniques. Various studies have demonstrated the quantum effects of consciousness, indicating that the mind can go beyond the time/space limitations that the normal universe operates under. For instance, he reported on an experiment in which people were randomly shown pleasant and negative photos. It was found that the subjects experienced anxiety several seconds in advance of seeing a negative photograph, which suggests the body senses things ahead of time, he said.

People are often held back by psychological blocks-- brain patterns that cause them to make the same mistakes over and over again, he noted. Through an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that involves a person using their fingers to tap on various acupuncture points, these blocks can be removed, he stated. Further, he cited the recent Dallas Peace Project, in which 1,000 people tapped on acupuncture points, and crime rates reportedly went down 25% in the region. Landrith's tapping technique is demonstrated in this video clip promoting his DVD.

He also spoke about various prayer studies and techniques. Some particularly powerful methods include "releasing" an intention rather than focusing on it, posing an intention before going to sleep, and sending out feelings of love. By adopting a sense of gratitude-- being thankful for what you have, you'll be attracting more things to be grateful for than if you are in a state of wanting, which attracts lack, Landrith revealed"
