Feeling alone is at times a terrible experience ...but when i was single and living alone I took that time to heal me and get to know me from the inside out so to speak...it was an eye opening experience what i learned was I am a strong woman capable of handling my own life by myself I actually grew from that time alone and I loved it....After my Mom's death i took a year off from being with anyone I refused to date or even think about dating..it was one of the best times of my life and the worst.... grieving your Mom's death never goes away no matter the type of relationship you had. Mom's are hard to let go of, period! Although I will never totally let her go I have to come to find a peace in knowing she is around me at times and I know in my heart I will see her again....my point is be ok with just being you alone for awhile, things do get better but at times you have to get to the bottom before reaching for the top again...and know you have us to lean on !

that's what being a community is all about.....

Oh yes, the Bell Witch! Adams, TN. In high school we used to drive up to Adams and see the cave, the cemetary and the foundation of John Bell's hosue. I think you have to pay now?

Once, we got freaked out at the house and I remember driving back through Greenbriar at like 120 miles an hour! So lucky we were not stopped by the police or worse.

One night, maybe 20+ years ago after the Threshermans show in Adams (old time threshers are cool!) people said they had blood on their cars.

I have not been up there in a while, maybe this Spring I will take Cynthia. :) :vampire:

You have to take her Jen she will freeakk,lol
They say you can at times see low floating blue lights on the yard and as the old saying goes if you say her name three times while looking at your reflection in a mirror her face will take shape in yours...................yep, I've done it,lol

My mom visited her cave as a young woman and told me she got the hell scared out of her...I never went but read a few of the books written about her and her time torturing the Bell family...she would rip the sheets off the beds of the children and pull one of the girls hair < i forget the names> and when she was alive they say she would sit in the middle of a room of the house and hair pins would fly out of her hair...also the window shutters would open and close by themselves.She would also climb into bed with some of the bell family at night and freak them out.....she still haunts the homestead I'm sure of it!
I've heard there are markings in the cave supposedly that is where she died so she resides there still.

:twitch:

Sometimes I think I share too much.You know what goes on in my home Andrew.But ever since you gave me a few items it has helped me turn from these evil spirits who wish to cause me harm physically,mentally,and spiritually.When I see and hear things I pray to my God,"they" seem to fear him and move on.But i'm cursed with the third eye.It means I will always attract paranormal activity.A lot of my faith started off in paganism,so i'm stuck with those energies(both good and bad) in my life.It is hard for me to understand or explain well all that I have experienced.These days I don't "encourage" myself to pick up on these energies even though they want to show themselves to me and will continue to do so for the rest of my days.That world(other worlds)will be shown to me once i'm gone and buried.What I must do is live life here,right now,in this world.I do believe in demons and know they do exist and how they use their trickery.In my home all the answers I ever need now are in the holy bible.If I feel troubled by anything I just pick it up turn to a page and there I find my answers and much comfort.It has really helped me understand more about what I have experienced throughout my life concerning the paranormal.

I'll post more later...

Andrew, Jr. 02-24-2010 05:09 PM

StoneFinn,

Please share your photographs.


BornBronson,

Yes, we have worked long and hard on your situation. I am so grateful to God for healing, and comfort for you & your family. God is merciful to all of us.

I too have shared wayyy too much info. online. You are not alone in that. I have a fault in believing and trusting everyone 110%. My bad.

Namaste,
Andrew

Are your parents what we would consider "soulmates" bc of the board or the board just make a path for her to find him?
I witnessed a board go sailing across the room and almost hit one particular person in head. The spirit attacted to the board didnt like one of the college dormmates and made quams about hididng this fact. "It" trapped her in an elevator for about 2 hours. I tried to tell them its nota a gome...but they d wouj

Yes I think My Mom's last husband and my adopted Dad who I adore and is still alive thankfully, they where soul mates.....my dad told me that he had more in my mom as his wife of almost 35 years that most men could only dream of having what They had together...They where one in the same yet so seperate.a very loving and affection couple... My mom's only cruelness was mine to feel ........everyone else adored her.I think the board just gave his information to let her know she would find happiness in a mate one day....

Miss Scarlett 02-24-2010 10:47 PM

I know for certain that my Mom is with me, especially at work. She was an attorney and we worked together for over 10 years until she retired in 2001.

I've been under the weather for the last few days so my brain has been a bit foggy. Yesterday I was drafting a very complex Separation Agreement and had to incorporate a clause I had never encountered in my 20+ years in law. I dug through my personal sample library, the docs my boss has in our system, my books, case law, statutes...everywhere I could think of looking for just the right language to convey our client's wishes while complying with the law. After a few hours of searching I came up empty. So I ended up just staring at the screen wishing I could talk with my Mom about this - we used to write by collaboration. Then I just started typing - not thinking, just typing. And in one attempt came up with the exact language needed. The only changes my boss made to this portion of my draft was having me combine two sentences and change the layout of the paragraphs to fit her writing style not my Mom's.

I know that was from my Mom. She was one heck of an attorney and kept her law license active until she died - I've got her actual license document here in my home office. I guess she's still "practicing."

How impressive Miss S...I'm sure your mom is right there when you need her most of the time. That is a hard bond to break a mother and child i would think Glad she came through for you :::smiles:::A lot of people In my opinion wouldn't have had the trust to let their fingers move with out a specific direction, ya know...but you had faith in her and that i so enjoy reading about, a bond that strong.
:bunchflowers:
way to go on the good work !

I wonder if I can still find it? and in the daylight? Its been at least 20 years since I have visited the homestead. At Halloween they give tours of the cave now, but they charge and have a guide. I bet it is not as scary. :(

Have you heard of Lilydale? http://www.lilydaleassembly.com/
We went with Cynthia's grandmother. I did not really believe before we went there and I am not sure how it all works, but they are for real. It was a very changing trip for us. Especially Cynthia. :) I was afraid to go this past Summer, I have been having such a hard time with my Dad's death (we hated each other) that I was scared if I went he would come through and I have spent most of my life trying to get over his abuse and him. I kept seeing him for a while and Bit and Gryph helped me with that, but I don't want to start it up again.

I do hope to feel centered enough to go again sometime, it is quite an experience. They say only positive spirits come though, but I am still scared.

Maybe I just don't care any more?

Lilydale was on TV a while ago. I am not sure if it was Paranormal State or another show of the like. I would like to go there.

Well,it wasn't too hard to go back to something that has always been there for me,Andrew.You just made me think long and hard about a bad situation and how easy it was to solve if only i'd give my hand back to the lord.I want to thank you again for that brother.

I think I post alot online because I see it almost like a personal diary.You know how it's way too easy sometimes to write stuff down when no one is looking.The thing here is that they're looking,lol.Another reason could be is I just like to see myself "talk".

Trust is a good thing at times,Andrew.

The way I see it now is that what works for you,go with it.I have my beliefs back and they are very strong these days.In other words,i'm not easily fooled by demons anymore.

When my mother died she never came back to 'visit' me.And that's how I prefered it if the truth be told.She is safe with our lord,in my heart I know this to be true.

Andrew, Jr. 02-25-2010 06:52 PM

BornBronson,

This can be a journel of sorts. And yes, people read it. Some understand, some don't. It is just a matter of connecting your heart and soul together with others. Everyone is just at different levels, and perspectives. Trust, I am too freely giving it. I trust people when they tell me xyz that it is xyz. Then to read it is abc. Then to have someone refer to me as this or that. It is just not right on so many levels. But that is where the trust issue comes into play. My trust was broken when I was a little boy by my parents. To me it isn't a game. Trust is so much more than that. I used to think that most people would be trustworthy. I have learned the hard way that some are not. It is on them, not me. I am open and honest. But I am not a doormat.

I am soo excited to hear you bring this up because I am a Lily Dale enthusiast !! I love it there .. I spend most of my summers there. I know you have nothing to fear while there, it is sacred ground, that's for sure !! Did you see any real good mediums while there ??

I had never heard of Lily Dale before reading this thread. I have looked at the website but I would love to hear more from someone who has been there.

I have wanted to have a reading for many years but have never done it. My life has been full of twists and turns and once again I have found myself at a cross roads. I have been uncertain which way to proceed from here and I would really enjoy some input from the universe and the powers that be.

If anyone has a suggestion as to whom I should talk to or how to go about finding someone I would greatly appreciate it!

I have been once, but do want to go again, just this last Summer with the my Dad stuff it was too much.

We went to the stump in the Forrest and a medium spoke to Cynthia's grandmother and gave her a message from her Husband, we were all in tears the rest of the day. They went last Summer and had readings, but I stayed home.

The Mandala monks were there when we went which was so cool.

I have not had a reading on my own, but would love to.

It is a beautiful little Victorian village filled with mediums and surrounded by a lake and an enchanted forest. They have free services with readings a couple of times each day and lot's of mediums who live there full or part time. There is a sweet pet cemetary, a fairie walk, its just lovely.

Femmy1, I am so excited to know you are there often, have you actually stayed on the grounds? We stayed near by at the White Inn, which is also haunted and very cool.

I found the place very empowering to women and interesting. I hope to go back when I am ready and feel more centered. JUst sitting in the library looking at the books was wonderful in itself.

Yes,I know that people are different and grow at many levels.The thing is to grow,right?.Right.

Okay,back to the paranormal.I'm still hearing that deep male voice coming from my living room.It's so weird sounding.I really don't understand what he's saying,nor do I want too.It reminds me of someone in prayer.Which can be seen as a good thing I suppose.I'm not really feeling threatened by it at all to tell you the truth.I'm just leaving it up to the lord.Sometimes I have to look into my heart for the answers,and sometimes I read the good book.:glasses:

Andrew, Jr. 02-26-2010 08:16 PM

BornBronson,

It could be a chant of some sort. It is good to talk about - to bring it to light. Demons do not like that. If you bring it to light, they loose their intensity, and interest. Put the H.W. on the wall in the form of a cross. And say your prayers.

Today I had Liam and The Lady Snow remind me that it is human nature to fight amongst each other. It isn't a racial thing, or a Native American thing, or whatever. It is a human nature thing. And they are right. It is a human nature thing to want to be right or to be #1. I never gave it a thought like that before.

Peace,
Andrew


Andrew, Jr. 02-26-2010 08:35 PM



I always post when to put the house protection above your front door. Forgive me, it is a bit past when this is due. Usually you put this Jan. 6th or during Epiphany. In Latin it means "May Christ Bless This Home".

Oh, that's what that means...my Dad & Stepmother wrote this in chalk above the doors into the house but neither one could remember what it said.

I have a mezuzah on my doorpost but it's not for protection. We are commanded to post this as a reminder of our faith.

That's true Andrew,talking about it kills the fear.I do say my prayers,everynight.And that helps too.

Why do you need to be reminded that people fight,aren't the papers enough?.
As for being right,we're not always right.It's good to open your mind up and listen to others.Like this thread for instance.I believe in all the stories others have posted here because I know that ghost,spirits,and demons do exist.I've been living with paranormal activity all my life,and frankly i'm tired of it.Everytime I saw/heard something unexplainable I wanted an explanation,but never got one.But when I returned to the lord and the bible,all my questions were answered.That works for me,of course I know that won't work for everyone.
Fighting Is a natural thing it seems,wanting to control others,shit like that.It's also juvenile if you ask me.

have you tried smudging ? or approaching this entity or telling it to leave ?
you could also set up a voice recorder and tape the evp and play it back on slow sometimes you can decipher what they are saying that way, I'd be curious to find out exactly what is being said, could be a message for you of some kind from a loved one who has found you.

Soft*Silver 02-27-2010 01:22 PM

I had a client who was dealing with her teenager..basic teen angst.

they had a poltergeist in the house

and one day, I walked into my LOCKED office, for my first morning client (who was this person) and carefully stacked in the oddest of ways, were items taken from my desk, in the middle of the desk.....

well now...

I became a believer....

Miss Scarlet, :rrose:

The Mezuzah holds small Holy Prayers that you kiss when you enter or leave your home. It is still done today by most who are of the Jewish faith.

Andrew, Hon, I'm Jewish remember?

You're not quite correct in your understanding. The scroll (klaf) inside the Mezuzah case does not contain Holy Prayers. Below I pasted an explanation by a Rabbi whose words are far better than mine.


From Rabbi Shraga Simmons: "On the doorpost of every Jewish home rests a mezuzah. Some may think it's a dainty decoration or a good luck charm. Put one up to keep the evil spirits away!

Actually, a mezuzah is a daily reminder ― and a public declaration ― of Jewish identity and faith.

Though mezuzah literally means "doorpost," it commonly refers to a scroll of parchment containing biblical verses, placed on the doorpost.

The mezuzah recalls the Exodus from Egypt, when the lamb's blood smeared on the doorpost "identified" the Jewish homes that God passed over during the plague of the first born.

From that day forward, the mezuzah has always identified a home as being Jewish. Travelling throughout the world, one can often seek out fellow Jews by looking for a mezuzah on the door. In areas where Jews have been exiled (e.g. Eastern Europe and Middle East countries), many doorposts still bear the mark of a mezuzah removed.

The scroll contains the first two paragraphs of the "Shema" prayer, declaring the oneness of God, and commanding us "to write [these words] on the doorpost of your house and on your gates" (Deut. 6:4-9). The second passage (Deut. 11:13-21) teaches that Jewish destiny, both individually and nationally, depends upon fulfilling God's will.God told us to put these verses on our doorpost, to remind us of His "instructions for living."

Many people have the custom to touch the mezuzah when walking through the doorway, and then to kiss their hand. As we pass by, we focus on God's instructions posted on the wall."

you could also set up a voice recorder and tape the evp and play it back on slow sometimes you can decipher what they are saying that way, I'd be curious to find out exactly what is being said, could be a message for you of some kind from a loved one who has found you.

I smudge all the time LadyFlamezzz.My home reeks of white sage and sweetgrass.My mother was native american and taught me many ways to protect myself from evil spirits,she and her father.my grandfather.Her powers were unbelievable unless you seen them first hand.Something always protected her,she said it was passed down from her grandmother on her father's side.She told me it is passed on to all the women in her family,including me.What it is i cannot tell you,but i know that there is something there,a shield.My mother also considered herself catholic.I think one of the reasons I feel close to the church these days because a baptism was performed on me as a baby.So basically i'm just finding my way back to a faith that feels right for me.I don't want anything further to do with that voice.It has since gone but I do have this funny suspicion where it came from,but i feel it is not for me to play with.So i won't be doing any recording if and when 'it' decides to return.

I think the ghost hunters,or the ghost adventures crew would have had themselves a ball here on my property.Of course it was no picnic for me.I notice through my faith a portal/gate has been closed,for now.

I am Jewish, too, and I just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. As with anything Jewish, there is much that is subject to interpretation and debate. The mezuzzah is something that does provide protection, according to what I was taught. I was also taught that it comes from the story of Passover, when the Jews placed lamb's blood on their doorposts to signify that they were Jews so that G-d would "pass over" their homes and spare their first born sons during that plague. This was not just for identification, but also for protection, since an "all knowing" G-d would not need to be told who was Jewish and who was not. The scroll inside, if it is kosher, has been prepared according to certain rules by a scribe, and if it is ever to be discarded, it should be buried in the same way as any holy book would be. So, inasmuch as any Jewish text is holy, I think the scroll in a kosher mezuzah would be considered so. When my daughter was ill, and there was no explanation, one of the things that our rabbi suggested (and others, too) was to make sure that a mezuzah was placed on our daughter's bedroom door.

Just some other thoughts on the subject.

Great post Lynn! The act of the blood was an indicator of faith and obedience. I doubt any Jewish family that failed to put the blood on their doorpost were spared the loss of their first born.

I didn't go in depth in the Mezuzah discussion because the point I was trying to make is that it is not a "good luck charm" or anything like that. There are some churches in my area that have adopted Mazozot, tallitot, kippot, Shofarot, etc. and are using them for good luck or ornamentation. Or they're doing "cool Jewish stuff." I saw a man a few years ago walking through Pride with a Shofar hanging out of the front pocket of his pants!

Femmy1, :bunchflowers:

What workshops are you teaching? I am so looking forward to going this spring. It just depends on finances. I want to get a reading done by Lisa Williams. I adore her from what I know.

Thanks!

The Paranormal
 
Before I do my post I would just like to say Thank you for creating this thread Andrew, Jr. :thumbsup:

Here is my story in short...:cheesy:
I have studied the paranormal now for over 31 years.
And currently am a psychic/Medium, Reader & Empathic Healer.
Much like you (Andrew, Jr),my search and directions came from
personal happenings through-out my life.
My first paranormal experience started clear back when I was 6.
And has not quit...Still to this date.
I have had both posotive and negative sides.
As I have grown, I get very little negative anymore because I now
understand it all more...Thank The Powers That Be!
Actually as I have studied, this all becomes stronger
as I become more understanding and aware of what exists.

I was compelled to seek out and learn all I could because what was
taught in my home did not explain what I knew to be true.
And as a result, I get to do what I love and have a passion for. :rose:

Ok I know, I am a bit long winded...But I am excited to share in this thread.

May Love and Light Surround You Always!
