my encounters

My story starts from my childhood.Im 41 now and since being a child and being around 5 years old ive sensed felt and seen numerous unexplained occurences.At 5 i lived with my grandparents and my 4 brothers and 1 sister.I walked upstairs to go to the loo and passed my grandad on the stairs.He didnt speak but on return from the loo my whole family were in the living room,and all were quiet and unhappy.My grandad had passed away in the night and i saw him on the stairs???..unexplainable.
As i went through childhood i would wake through the night unable to move or scream or speak as if i was pinned down by something.I would sleepwalk too on occasions.I remember my mum telling me that a dark figure would appear in her bedroom too,i never saw this but remember the story.As time has gone on,little bits and pieces have happened but have increased since i met my wife.We lived together with her children in exeter and she had told me of the previous 11 years of "happenings"in the home.Her daughter and one of her sons had seen ghosts and witnessed strange events.After some time i myself started to experience unexplainable events.Somebody would run up the stairs several times,but no one would be there.Strnge noises and bangs on a daily basis with no viable reason for them.We decided to set up a laptop to record any events through the night.We left it on top of a unit in the living room torecord from around 10pm until 7am the next morning.On viewing the video there were alot of odd noises but the one that stood out the most,not long after we had gone to bed was a deep growly,almost demonic voice saying "STAY AWAY".On hearing this we decided to call in a spiritualist.She came and said that whatever was in the house,didnt want me there as if i was some kind of threat to them as the spirit wanted my wife all to themselves.There were apparently a group of around 5 men in one of the childrens bedroom and one of these spirits was a woman hater.The spiritualist said that she had managed to remove them and told us she had sent them on their way and that they wouldnt come back.The house went quiet for a few days and we did start to hear the odd noise again.We decided to record again but in the kitchen and on viewing the footage with some friends,we saw between myself and my wife a round face of a spirit with dark eyes,the night previous to this one,my wife had dreamt of a figure with dark eyes!.Moving on from this we had decided to move.Just before we moved i woke one morning and saw an extremely pretty young lady,around 17 years old with long hair and almost porcelain like features as if she was a doll.The whole figure was there legs arms and full body,on seeing this i jumped and woke my wife and decided to ring the spiritualists who in turn told me that this apparition was the devil in disguise.On another occasion myself and my wife were sat on our patio and heard a deep growling noise very close to our faces.Since we have moved,our new home was quiet at first but as time has gone on(just a year)myself and my wife have both seen tall black figures.I myself have seen a little figure,all black,a child who appeared to hide or come from corners.All of the children have heard odd noises in the night.One particular night my wifes 19 year old son called us into his bedroom as there was a lot of banging and sounds that indicated someone in the kitchen as his bedroom was directly above.We all sat there quietly and could hear glasses being moved and what sounded like somebody walking up the stairs.Him and his girlfriend were very scared.We all eventually came down into the kitchen and on entering,we saw the back door keys swinging quite violently,yet no one had been downstairs for hours.On going back upstairs the noises did continue but all returned to our beds.On other occasions my wife has witnessed something grabbing at her clothes and i have had the same happen to myself,The odd tug of my t-shirt.All in all it feels like whatever was in the old house has followed us to the new one.I have also seen what appeared to be a spirit swinging left to right in our bedroom and a spiritualist did say that a suicide victim had attached themselves to me.Just a few days ago i woke with a cushion on the bed upright like it was being held,but befire we had gone to sleep it was on the floor as it always is.On another occasion items have moved on my side of the bed on my bedside cabinet and just last night i was awake from around 215am and at around 0430 two taps or noises came from where our tv is situated,on opening my eyes a big black figure was at the bottom of our bed,just for a couple of seconds.The last thing i want to add is that i always seem to wake at 0230 in the morning,very frequently.

hi welcome to the forum Wink

wow you have gone through a lot and still are by the sounds of it
as it hasnt directly tried to hurt you maybe its just trying to scare you OR trying to make contact
have you tried doing some EVP?

Hey..hi
We need to get a device to be able to do evp.any tips?as my wife is very uneasy with doing the evp in case we get a reply.We do believe that whatever it is wants to either make contact or make us aware its there.What are your experiences if you dont mind me asking?

ive had a few personal experiences, there all on here for all to read Wink

just a simple digital recorder would do the job for EVP
i can understand where your wife is coming from, its a scary thought but at least you'll know either way Smile

We will look into getting one.Very tempted to set up our laptop tonight to record anything thats going on which in effect is evp i guess as we picked up a voice previously.And i would love to know what or who it is to be fair,peace of mind i guess Laughing

ive heard of some people leaving a pen and paper out
and asking then to leave a message
i know that sounds unlikely and i dont know if it worked as none of them got back to us to let us know Rolling Eyes

but no harm in trying Wink

Hi.We havent saged it or had it blessed.We were told to ask for a ring of protection which i myself did some time ago and i also used to say the lords prayer silently each night.We are going to record tonight and see what happens.Will let you know the results.Thanks for welcoming us Very Happy

Hi,just to update,we have watched 4 hours of the recorded footage and had numerous clicks,and unusual noises.The clicks are almost as if the bedside chest gets tapped and the noises are a whirring kind of noise like helicopter rotor blades lasting for 4 or 5 seconds and happened twice up until now.We still have 4 hours of footage remaining and will view some tonight and tomorrow.any thoughts please respond....

hi,
an update regarding our recording. we finally watched it all with some interesting noises, unexplained taps and movement from behind the laptop, we also saw on the bottom left side of the screen which is my wifes side of the bed a very bright stream of light which looks like a lightning strike appear for a split second then dissapear, this we really cannot explain as there is just no reason for it to of happened, scared my wife when she saw it. i think we are going to record again but without us sleeping in the bedroom to see if there are any changes, what do you think?

the noises could just be the house settling, you most likely hear them anyway but dont notice them at the time Wink

the little flash could be a camera glitch, maybe Confused
