ghost stories

[vonigan]

he's only seen a couple of things and just last night we heard talking in the bedroom. they do move around, they seem to pace or just walk around. I have yet to try any cleansings or anything, I wouldn't even know where to start because I don't know what I'm dealing with. for all I know it could be some energy imprint replaying over and over or if it's even "human". my boyfriend is not wiccan neither am I. I don't really know what I am, I identify more with paganism.
it is creepy and unsettling. I don't get scared or nervous when it comes to things like this. I used to live with a demonologist and we always had strange things happening so I got used to wierd things like this. this time I'm kinda worried.

I didn't know that about orbs, thank you for letting me know. and I will try to get a picture of the scary shadow things if I can.

Know one really knows exactly what shadowpeople are. Some think they are human spirits that can’t quite manifest or they are evil spirits. Thankfully, I’ve never had to deal with them.

Do you still have contact with your demonologist friend? Does he know how to banish them?

I am not an expert, but to me it sounds like they are gaining strength, as most haunting’s do. It started with one, then two then multiples, then they moved out of the bedroom and now you both are hearing voices coming from the bedroom. From what I have read though, they rarely attack anyone. They seem to like to scare and intimidate people.

Has anyone else here had to deal with these types of entities?

I know this is an old topic but I just wanted to finish my story I guess you could say.

I no longer have problems with the "shadows." we are sleeping in our bedroom again and all is well. although I did have to do a few things to make it so.
I think I took care of the problem one night when I was really annoyed by them. I went into our bedroom, shut the door and sat on the bed and had a "talk" with these beings. it wasn't a nice talk and I also had a mixture of sea salt and black salt with me. I sprinkled the salt mixture around the room while telling them to leave me alone and to leave and like I said, the words weren't nice. I don't think they're gone, I think they just made there presence less known. I don't feel or see them as often but I do see and feel things that make me know they are still there.

It's good to know you were able to drive them back. I would try a good smudging next.

I have a few true ghost stories I can tell you. The one that really blew my mind when it occured,was this one. My grandmother died when I was a little girl. I have some small memories of her, and some photos, but that's all. Anyway... I moved with my family back into my grandparents house when I was eighteen. One day after I was there about a year, I was lying in my bed, and I felt someone sit down on the end. I didn't look to see if any was there becase the door had not opened. Therefore I knew no one could have come in. I just thought nothing of it and went to sleep. The wierd part... A month or so later, my sister, who slept in my mother's room, on a twin bed across the room, told me one moring that she had see our grandmother sitting on my mom's bed that past night. Of course at that point, I realized that it must have been her who sat on my bed, that night a month before.

When I am alone in my house (even with my brother) I see things in or near my dad's room. I usually see this fairly large thing, i dont know how to describe it.. its kind of a blob-ish thing its black and white in color, it moves quickly, and i see it in my dads doorway or in the tv room. and i also see huge shadow type things... but its not shadow people. or maybe it is.. i dontreally know.

It has been happening since around Feb. at first it was only out of the corner of my eye and i would look and it would dissapear, but now i look and it stays for at least 2 seconds. it bugs me..

Ghost stories... where to begin.

Actually I don't know where to begin, this country has a population of only 300.000 people and yet we have 388 ghosts that are known by name or occupation (while they were alive of course, not much point in hiring a dead person)... you want some detailed descriptions let me know, I'll write you a few, but right now I can't pick

[[aphrodite]]

Sure shadowflame, tell any story you like, Whats your favourite one? just start there. I'm still trying to catch up with all the others

The most famous one would be the deacon/sexton (some guy who helps the priest) of Dark River. There was a girl in the parish, Gudrun (god's rune or divine magic) he was courting and had promised to take her to a dance a couple of nights later. On his way to pick her up he had to cross Dark River, which had risen a bit and maybe he wasn't as careful as he should have been.
Anyway, when he came to pick her up she noticed him acting strange, but said nothing. Then he went a different way than normal to where the dance was and as she was about to mention it he said "Ga-run, Ga-run, can you not see a white spot on the back of my head?" Ghosts of course can not say "God" (or Gud in this instance) and sure as anything, on the back of his head she saw the bone shining through.
He then stopped at the cemetery intending to take her with him to the earth but she managed to get into the churchtower and ring the bells, holy bells of course and he couldn't stand the sound and vanished.
He did not stop haunting her though and eventually a magician was paid to bind him to what had been made his grave, but not before the poor girl had gone mad from the ghost's appearance.

As you wish:

There was a girl called Solveig who was working as a maid for Odd, a priest in Great-Farm. It is not known whether the priest was between wives or whether he had just lost his wife but this girl fell in love with him and wanted him to marry her, even though he did not.

Because of this the girl went mad and sought to take her own life the first chance she got. The priest worried about the girl so another woman was paid to sleep in the room with her and look after her during the night. During the day everybody on the farm kept an eye on her.

One day, during twilight, she managed to run out to the meadow alone though, a worker on the farm followed her but was too late and she had already cut her throat. As he saw the blood gush from her neck he remarked "There the devil took her." She didn't answer but he understood enough from what she said that she wanted him to ask the priest to bury her in a cemetery, then she bled out.

The worker gave the priest the message and him, being of a kind heart, sought permission with his superiors but was denied since she had killed herself.

While this was happening her body stood up (a term used for the tradition of making the body stand upright before it was buried) but the night after the priest got the reply he dreamt her coming to him, with an angry look on her face. "Since you will not allow me sacred ground you will not go there either." she said, and stormed away.

After this her body was buried, outside the cemetery with no ceremony. After that however she started hounding the priest, especially when he was alone. This soon became known around the parish and everybody saw it as their duty to go with him wherever he needed to go, if he was alone.

One evening he was out late and didn't come home. People did not worry about him because they knew he was always accompanied if he was alone.

The priest had then apparently told his companion he need go no further once they had reached the field. Later that night there was a knock at the door, but because noone godded ("here be god" (Translation:"I am not a ghost or an evil thing")) nobody opened.
A short while later people heard someone come close to the livingroom wall, but before he/she godded it sounded like that person was dragged away.

When people finally went out to look, the horse stood in the driveway (horseway I guess since this was before cars), with the saddle and everything on and even the priest's gloves on top of the saddle, but no priest.

Then a great search was begun and the only news from the last farm he was on was that he hadn't wanted protection the last part of the way.

People now searched for him for many days and many nights, but found nothing and were sure Solveig had kept her promise and taken him with her to her own grave... nobody ever looked there though.

The worker who had seen Solveig die was not going to give up though until he had found out what happened to his master. He didn't give up with the other searchers until one night when he couldn't sleep. Eventually the sleep conquered him though but not before he asked a maid to watch over him during the night. She then falls asleep but wakes up in the middle of the night to see Solveig standing over him drawing a line on his neck with one finger.

The maid jumps to, but Solveig flees from her, couldn't stand the look the maid gave her. The maid then wakes up the worker who still had a red line on his neck from where Solveig had drawn her finger over it.
She asks him what he had been dreaming for he had not slept easy. He said he had dreamt that Solveig came to him and told him he would never find out what happened to the priest and then tried to cut his neck with a big sword, so that he still felt the pain. After this he gave up trying to find the priest.

Some years later, when the priest's son got married and moved to Great-Farm he claimed to have dreamt Solveig attacking him so that he even had trouble defending himself, but he was a strong man, like his father had been. After that noone saw or heard from her again untill years later when the cemetery had been enlarged.

Diggers were taking a grave in the new part when suddenly they came upon two skeletons, lying on top of each other, forming a christian cross. Research showed that the lower had been female, but the one on top of her, who was actually buried face-down was male.

Here people beleived they had found both Solveig and the priest, but out of fear of ghosts, particularly hers, they were both buried again, in concecrated ground and neither has made an appearance since.

That was good aswell, better than the last one. Are these like folk tales? Got anymore?

Yes, these are folktales, all our folktales are ghosts, demons, extreme magic or elves, nothing else exists here. Ok. Here's one more, I hope you enjoy it:

One time, late autumn a ship docked in the capital very late at night, on which was a sailor who intended to spend some time in the city. He went to shore with his belongings in a bag like sailors are want to do.

He wasn't known to the city and didn't have a sure place to sleep although someone had told him to seek a bed with the salvation army. He asked for directions and didn't really run into trouble on the way there. Most people were then already in bed, he managed however to ask the overseeer for a bed but was denied because no beds were free.

He goes back to the street and thinks about his position. There weren't alot of people around as the weather was dark and rather spooky. He met a few people though and asked them about inns and places to stay but noone could solve his trouble. He wanders around until he stoppes at a store window.

He hasn't been there long when he sees a girl in a dark dress at the next window. He thinks to himself that it can't hurt to talk to her if she could point him at a place to stay. He starts walking in her direction but at the same moment she walks away. He hurries his step then but does not close in on her. He finds this odd and thinks the girl doesn't have to be afraid of him but that he won't give up and hurries his step more until he is running, but it is of no use. The girl is as much ahead of him as before. There was some traffic on the street but he did not care for passersby and hurried after the girl.

this went on for quite a while around dark streets and the man noticed they walked for a long while on a wide road untill they were on the outskirts of town. Suddenly the girl turns left and into a side-alley going upwards where the man thinks he feels a rather salty-smell like of the sea. They hadn't gone far up the street when the girl stops at a small house and disappears into it. There was no light in any window and nowhere around the house. The door did not close shut after her so the man walks into the house.

It was pitch black inside and the man felt himself in a huge room. He did not have any matches or firewood so he feels his way untill he finds a slate, quite high. Since the man is both tired and out of breath from the walk he sits down on the slate and waits. The house made stony noises and the man beleives he is best of staying where he is. He therefore lies down and soon falls asleep.

He then dreams the girl, his "companion" comes to him, rather angry. Before he has a chance to react she attacks him and he has quite some trouble defending himself. The girl repeatedly tries to take his throat and choke him and is very enthused so he barely manages his defence. In the end she manages to hold him down and tries to choke him and he beleives he has never had as much trouble as defending himself from this monster. Somehow he manages to break free though and stand up.

At that moment he wakes up and is then lying on the floor on top of some pile, he feels around and thinks it is a body. He then is taken over by terrible fear and panic and can only think of geting away. A little light was coming from under a door but he did not check it or the rest of the house and got himself out as soon as he could. The sun had then begun to rise and it was getting light outside.

He runs out into the street until he meets a few workers on their way to their jobs. They saw how frightened he was and asked him what had happened to him. He could not tell them much coherently and seemed to mix reality and dream. He could though point them at the house where he had stayed. They exchanged looks and thought obvious the man was not himself.

They eventually decided to take him down to the police station. When they got there the man repeated his story for the officers on duty, although a little more coherently than before. The officers asked if he could retrace the way he had gone after the girl or find the house where he had slept. He said it was well worth the try and the house he would certainly find.

An officer now went with him and first they passed a famous Hotel. A short way from there he thought he recognized the shop window he had stopped at, where he saw the girl. From there he traced his steps, one street after another untill he stopped at the door to the French hospital's morgue. There he clamed to have stayed during the night but as he tried to enter the house, the door was securely locked and he found that odd.

The officer either had a key that fit the lock or got it at the hospital. He then oened the door but as they walked in they saw a woman's body lying on the floor next to the strechures, but at their end was the sailor's bag with his belongings.
