What About Demons?


Ed and Lorraine gained fame as investigating The Amityville Horror which brought controversial recogniation as a Paranormal event.Some are convinced it was a fraud others that it was an actual occurrence.If you have watched the programs Paranormal State or A Haunting you know that the investigators there often believe in demon possession.
The story shared about "after effects of the ouija board" and that of FigurativeHarmony make me seriously think of that as possible.Do you think these were more related to demons than to ghosts?

A recent true experience of a well in the backyard of a rental house is a case in point.The well was considered a portal.The demons were more interested in the children ages 8 and 14 than the adults.When the father challenged the spirit to attack him instead, he was seized with shortness of breath and shaking.The priest who later performed an exorcism om the home said he should not challenge a demonic presence.
Before the exorcism, the son attacked the father with a knife but was wrestled down.The father started toward the mother stopped only by a flash from the crucifix the mother was holding..The Warrens assisted with this family.(It was before Ed Warren's death.)
On entering the house for the first time,Lorraine Warren felt several presences including one who she described as being angry ,standing inches from her face staring with pure evil..It ended with a lengthy service which included several attacks,involved several demons within the son, but was eventually resolved.

Spooky stuff that I would not want to endure.What are your thoughts?Do you believe in Demons?Do you believe that if you encounter demons and move, they will follow you?

Here is the story she shared withh us.
"i love ghost stories....mine is long...but so freaky....

i was at my cousins house....staying the night...i went with her busband and a couple of my brothers friends out in the woods to drink...(i was about 20)...my brothers friend had a huge crush on me...(he was 16)...way too young...and he was drunk...we got back to the house...the boys passed out in the other room...and i slept in her son's room...(he slept with her)
i fell asleep...and awoke to someone putting thier hand in my crotch...i yelled and threw my arm back...and only hit the wall...i thought it was my brothers friend screwing around and told him to stop...i fell back asleep...and it happened again...i kicked my leg back...and all i hit was the wall...i started to get so freaked...so i got out of bed to turn the lamp on...
as i went to turn the knob...someone under the blanket crawled on the floor staying under the blanket...and it unplugged the lamp before i could turn the light on...i was just freaked out...i ran out...to see if the boys were asleep...they were all passed out...i tried to wake up my cousin...she was passed out...
i went in the room and it was gone...
so i locked the bedroom door...and tried to go back to sleep...
the door flung open...and there was a shadowy thing with a white face crawling on the floor toward the bed...
it didn't have facial features...just outlines...
i got up and was swearing at it...telling it to leave me alone...it stood up...and we were face to face...i said do you want me to wake up my cousin...and it shrugged its shoulders...i said in god's name you leave me alone...and it ran into the living room and then the kitchen...i didn't see it again....i finally woke up my cousins husband and told him what happened...he said as i was talking to him...my eyes were bright green....i have dark brown eyes...
well after that...i think it or something else follwed me back home...
i could not sleep in my room alone after that...i tried and i always felt someone standing over my bed...so i would bring my dog in...and he would always stand right up and stare out into my room with his ears perked...
si i slept with my sister for a while...
my mom asked what was up...i told her...she went into my room and she felt something in there...so we blessed the doors and windows...it was gone after that"
Wow.A frwaky experience.Thank you FigurativeHarmony.

Ann Rule Mentions A Ghost In Texas



As an avid reader,Ann Rule, a talented True Crime writer is among my favorite authors.To my surprise in her book that I recently read there was a brief mention of a ghost story.


Every Breath You Take, is about a murder of a young mother,there appeared a ghost story unrelated to the account (except as a reference to San Antonio,Texas).It was of interest to me. So will share it here.
Would like to know more about it,if anyone has more information..
(page 170.)

The area is described as a lesser known attraction in San Antonio.she says it is at a railroad crossing in the south of town.A single track surrounded by trees,bushes,weeds,crushed beer cans and other debris.Locals proudly say it is haunted and frequently gather there on the weekends.Always Halloween has a big turnout.It is told that a schoolbus full of children stalled on the track as a train roared in and struck it. Several .streets in the area have the names of children which reinforces the myth.

Believers and doubters gather there.They sprinkle talcum powder on the car trunks then park about 100 feet from the tracks.
The author states, ":Even with their engines turned off,their cars drift toward the railroad crossing, gathering a burst of speed as the tires rumble over thr ties.On the other side everyone jumps out to study the rear of their vehicles.Sure enough there are tiny handprints there.Ghosts of dead children trying to save others_or imagination?"

Neat .What is unclear to me is does the driver stay in the car?Does it happen to all or only some?Wouldn't you like to know more?Maybe someone who has been there could tell us.

Thank you Ann Rule for the unexpected treat in this very good book.

Onceupontheend's Ghostly Experience


The video posted yesterday shows some of the work from the shop. A bit about Cheryl was also posted with a story yesterday .This is her favorite ghost story,in her own words:


"I have some experiences, but this is one of my favorites:

When I was still living at home (teenage), my dad had throat cancer. I was laying in bed one night and couldn't sleep. It was the night before my dad was to have surgery to hopefully remove the cancer. The outcome could be anything from losing his entire voice box, having the cancer spread, etc. So, I was very scared.

Laying in bed, I suddenly had the urge to open my eyes, standing at the foot of my bed, was a "ghost" man in uniform smiling at me. I wasn't really afraid, but I closed my eyes because I felt like I saw enough.

Anyway, after seeing him I knew who he was and I felt peaceful. This man was my dad's uncle Ray who died when my dad was young. (I recoginzed him from a photo I've seen many times, he looked exact as the photo in his uniform, the smile).
The next morning I told my mom about the visit and she told me that my grandmother always used to tell my dad that his Uncle Ray was his guardian angel.

I think Uncle Ray visited me to let me know everything was going to be o.k.

The next day, my dad's surgery went as well as it possibly could and to this day he is cancer free.

Whayt a wonderful outcome.Thank you Cheryl,I hope you will check out the video or visit her shop http://onceupontheend.etsy.com
