June's Journey

I ain't afraid of no Ghost....um.....yes I am!

Ok I love watching Ghost stories....Ghost

Hunters is one of my favorite shows.

I'm planning on paying the cable company

what I owe them next month so they will

turn my cable back on. Why? So I can see

Ghost Hunters again...LOL. And now on A&E

they have a new show called Paranormal State...

where these Penn State student's go out to

hauntings...they go to school in State College

which is where John http://journals.aol.com/johneknox/too-stubborn-to-die/ 

and Krissy http://journals.aol.com/fisherkristina/SometimesIThink/

live. Cool huh. My sister recorded that show

for me and boy is it good. However all of this

being said...if I were to encounter a Ghost.....

brrrrrrrr....I would be so out of there.....LOL.

This one time years ago I had a close friend

named Beany (Ok her real name was Carla)

but to her friends she was Beany. She lived

in a house with her daughter Heather who was

about 8 years old then. (Now she's married....

God I feel old) Beany had always told me that

there was a male ghost that hung out by her

bedroom closet....she thought it was male

because only females seemed to feel it's

presence. At the time her boyfriend John

was living with her at this house.....

and he said she's so full of it....I've never had

anything happen to me in there. So this one day

I was at work and not feeling well...I still lived

at home and I didn't want to go home to my

mother...so I called Beany and asked if I could

come over...and she said sure. Well I forget

why but when I got there she had a house full

of people(family) and my head was pounding....

so she said why don't you lay on my bed for a

while and I'll call you when dinner is ready.

So I went upstairs and crawled onto her bed...

glad to be away from all the noise downstairs.

All of a sudden I felt weird....I was laying on

my side and I could have sworn i heard

someone breathing...and along with that the

place on the bed where I laid my right hand

felt like it was going up and down with the

breathing. I said ok June your just feeling

weird because you've heard all of Beany's

stories. But the more I lay there the louder

the breathing and I swear when I looked my

hand was going up and down on the bed. I

jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to Beany.

She said what's wrong...I said you know what's

wrong...and she just laughed.

So was it my imagination?...or was it real?

To this day I really don't know. But I've

been over to her house many times after

that ....mostly house sitting when she went

away for a night or two...but I always slept

on the couch.

So I thought Ghosts were a good topic to write

about. Do any of you have any Ghost stories to

tell me? I know Pam http://journals.aol.com/lanurseprn/TimesofMyLifeOneNursesStory/

does...she had written about an experience in

her home...and also that of her friend Joey's.

So if any of you have any stories please feel

free to tell them in my comments section....

or email them to me with subject line "Ghost

Stories" to JVButterfly@Aol.Com. And since

I don't seem to get very many comments on

my journal maybe if any of you want to direct

any of "your readers" to email me their stories

I would love to hear from them. I know...this

would have been a good blog to do for

Halloween...oh well...maybe next year.

That's it for now.....Until next time.

  Hey June, Hi!  I live in the area, too!  My son, Matt, is doing some ghost investigation around here, too.  He finds it fascinating.  He has recently gone to a church where they don't allow anyone around.  He and his friends.  There is supposed to be alot of activity there.  Oh, what is it called??  It is where a pastor killed his congregation and himself.  It is a couple towns over from me and Krissy.  Anway, I haven't watched Ghost Hunters, but my boyfriend likes it.  I think I will watch it.  I know Jeannett from Jeannette's Jottings (Jeanno43) has some ghost stories that are truly fascinating!!  You can go over and ask her!  Let me find her address for her.  Here it is..

  Hey, June
  I think ghost stories are fun and interesting, too.
  I have a short one that I will e-mail you.
  
  Interesting thing about "Ghost Hunters":
  I watch it too but I googled it and found an article that said they REFUSE to allow any outside parties to review their "evidence" and they REFUSE to allow anyone to view thier tapes unedited.
  It is fun to watch but I don't put much credibility in the part-time ghost hunting Roto-rooter men! It may be entertaining TV but if I had a ghost, I wouldn't call them unless I wanted to be on TV!
  
  Have you ever seen that movie called Session 9? It is pretty scary.
  It starts off very slow but it is creepy if you watch it all the way through.
  
  Have a good day,
  Stay warm and dry.

  I have had one encounter... right before my grandmother died. I was 9 years old and always slept with my door open. Really weird things started happening around the house as she became sicker. We had 9 birds hit her window and die that year. Literally just flew into the window and smashed themselves into it. I also saw shadows a few weeks before she died. These were not just "something is moving and looks creepy" shadows... they walked, and they paced the floor at night between her bedroom and the bathroom. Imagine a 9 year old lying there in her bed, the door wide open, watching black shadows of people just walk back and forth from her dying grandmothers room. There were nightmares during that year, and the entire house just felt odd.. it felt possessed. Not evil possesed but a creepy "I'm being watched" possesed. It was stale air... I have never experienced anything like it. After she died, that feeling went away. The weight was lifted away from the house..... Only experience I ever had, NEVER want another one. -Missy

  You don't have to wait for Halloween to talk about ghosts! I don't have many stories...only a couple that happened after my Mom and Dad died. Joey is the one with the stories. But, he recently told his ghosts to leave and don't bother him. Since then, the house is quiet! LOL!
  Recently, at his mom's house something happened. She was in the kitchen and the laundry room is just off the kitchen. The dog stood up and growled and looked into the laundry room. He was standing there growling and all of a sudden there was a crash!!!  She went in the room and a stack of about 12 hangers that she had on top of the dryer was thrown to the ground. The dog was barking, but there was nobody there! She just went and picked 'em up and put them back.
  Their ghosties like to throw things at their house. Lots of things get thrown there. But, the topper was when the washing machine filled with water!! Joey had been working on the washing machine. It was unplugged, unhooked from the water faucet, and pulled away from the wall. He was doing work on it...so he KNEW there was no water in it. He was in the house and heard a noise. He went out there and the washer was filled halfway with water!! Weird...since it wasn't hooked up to the hose, huh?
  That one still freaks me out!
  I could go on and on about Joey's house...LOL!
