Ghost Stories

“I just clicked on the link. My computer hasn't blown up... yet. Appears to be harmless link.”

“You guys do know that you can right-click on the link and view the properties and check the URL that way, right? I mean, I'm not telling you anything new right? (babies! Who's afraid of a little link anyway?)


Um, if I don't post anymore you'll know that my computer blew up.”

“Me.

”

“A rooster!”

“yeeeaaaahhhh, something like that.”

“'Lycra' is being nasty!”

“bitpusher said it, not me! nor "LYCRA" neither. you just wish you thought of that little nickname, Violin.
;-P”

“Lycra! LOL!


I can't believe that ghost coming out of the car didn't go invisible first and got himself caught on film. Geez! Ghosts these days!”

“hmmm...."Lyra in Lycra"...sounds like the name of science fiction short story...lol...”

“AAHHHH!! shall i never escape this name? hehehe! ;-)

bitpusher, you are about one second away from getting hexed. science fiction?!? what am i, a monster, LOL!”

“Actually, I was thinking more of that artist, Christo, who makes "art" by draping large things in a lot of cloth. The basic story idea is that he wants to cover the constellation Lyra in form-fitting Lycra, but it thwarted in the end when he realizes that you could turn the entire Solar System into Lycra, and it still wouldn't be enough.

Satisfied?”

“yes, smarty-pants!
;-)”

“cocks”

“I coulda made it a redux of "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman", with you in the title role, wearing tight disco clothes, but I decided not to...”

“WHoa!”

“Since when did folks become so mistrusting of Violin? Has he actually burned anyone? His troll/s are the most creative and usually the only funny ones on here and his links crack me up.

Is he not who he says he is?

Actually now that I think about it - I did get burned by his "website" link on the info page. Argg!”

“vampire named "violin"”

“My brother bought a 250-year-old house a couple of years ago. It was a tavern for a while.

He and his wife have seen, heard and smelled some unusual things and invited South Jersey Ghost Research to check it out. They found a lot of stuff and were very interested. They are coming back with a large team on September 13th (that’s Friday the 13th) to document whatever they can.

All power will be shut off to the house for a few hours at night so as not to interfere with their sensitive equipment. They told my brother that they didn’t want a ghostbusting party but that he could invite one observer. He asked if I wanted to come.

Would you go?”

“Oh, ... what the heck, ... go Violin. I know there will be a thread regardless.”

“This was one of the first threads I read when I got here last year and it scared the Crap outta me, LOL”

“Funny you bring that up. My sister just called me to give me some bad news. But I'll start with the story first.

A couple years ago, I went to the U.P. with my sister, Lori, and her friend Laura. Laura's mother grew up in a house in Calumet, and that's where we were staying. While in the car on the way there, they told me a story that happened the last time they had been up with some other friends of theirs.

Laura and her brother used to spend summers in the house in Calumet, with their grandparents. They slept upstairs, and Grandma used to wake Laura up in the morning by pulling the covers off of her, and laughing. Grandma and Grandpa have been dead for many years.

So, two of the friends who were up there snowmobiling prior to my trip up there slept upstairs, one in the bed Laura used to sleep in when she was little. The guy was awakened by some noise, and kinda felt like the covers were being pulled off of him. Another girl in the room also heard the noise, and they both discussed it the next morning.

Apparently, Grandma mistakenly thought Laura was in the bed, and she tried to wake her up by pulling the covers off and laughing.

Kind of a happy ghost story, it was just Grandma who wanted to see Laura, after all.


The sad news comes now. They found Laura's mother dead in the same house this morning. Her mother had been like a second mother to my sister, and I knew her as well. Very sad morning.”

“Jeez Smiley girl, you got my hairs standing on end....hope Laura's mom was a happy person when she was alive...that way it will pass on to her spirit. Sorry to hear about her death.”

“Same here.”

“Yeah, she was a great person. Havn't heard when the funeral is, but I think my whole family will be attending the funeral.

I forgot to mention in that story (which just happened a few years ago - I was 25 years old) that I ended up sleeping in a bed with my sister the whole weekend. I was WAY too chicken to sleep in a bed alone - I was afraid Grandma would come visit me! LOL!”

“I saw a show on TLC on Sunday night that scared the bejesus out of me. It was called A Haunting in Connecticut, or something similar. It will be on again this Sunday night. The documentery was 2 hours and was about a demon that haunyted a home. An exorcism was performed, but I fell asleep before the ending. Check it out, you'll love it!”

“I think you fainted before the end of the show. :o)

Personal accounts of ghost stories scare the snot out of me.”

“Welllllll, sorta!
Was about 12 years old, and a friend & I were at the "Deer Camp". We decided to sleep out under the stars one night. We made bedrolls outa a couple quilts, took us a pillow, an proceeded to make camp in a clearing a 'good ways' away from camp. Sometime during the night, I woke up to see a Ghost! In the moonlight, this HUGE white thing would rise up about 20 ft in the air, then slowly decend to ground level. I watched this go on several times, just about to PI$$ myself the whole time! I could even hear it's "crunching" footsteps, as it sloooowwwly came for us. I was frozen, and too skeered to say a word! Finally I just couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't goin out without a fight. I got hold of my shotgun (that's what kids hunted with then) an jumped up ready to BLOW THAT GHOST AWAY! Don't know WHAT I was thinking! Imagine my surprise, when I realized that the "ghost" was a cow, with a white feedsack hung on one horn! We had been surrounded by a herd of cows. The apparition was only about 15-20 ft away, which is why it seemed to rise up so high from ground level. The Crunching footsteps, was just the cows eatin' grass! It may not have been a real ghost, but now, I don't think ANYTHING could scare me worse!”

“"The history of stupid people" was very good.”

“did bacpac run that deer camp?”

“THERE'S A BUNCH OF STORIES ABOUT A GHOST DOG... AND LITTLE GIRL... SEVERAL CEMETARIES THERE...

I'VE HIKED IT QUITE A BIT BUT NEVER SEEN ANTYTHING... I THINK SMOKY GIRLS HIKED IT TOO...”

“Well... I didn't go to my brother’s house when the ghost researchers showed up last month. I thought it would be boring to sit around quietly in the dark for a few hours.

They found lots of ghosts or at least lots of little floating orb things.”

“not ORB THINGS! i can't believe you missed out on that, Violin.”

“I was just wondering what would happen if they had new film and wiped the lens off a bit.”

“LOL! well, that wouldn't have made for such a cool write-up, now would it.

if you'd been there, they really would've had something scary, you undead zombie-dude, you.”

“eeeeek! i lost my costume for a minute!”

“One of the researchers was overcome by emotion and had to run out of the house.

If I'd been there, they'd all be screaming and hiding.”

“Earlier in this thread I told about my brother’s haunted house and the ghost researchers working there. They’ve been back a number of times and recently brought a reporter from the NY Post. Here’s the story:


Who you gonna call?

Ghost-busting in south Jersey

AS I crept through the dark attic of a spooky old house, a chill ran down my spine. The man next to me froze, then pointed to his night-vision Camcorder display where a greenish-white circle raced across the floor. "That," he said, "is a ghost."

Good news, because I was looking for one. Four friends and I had driven to New Egypt, N.J., to attend a field investigation by South Jersey Ghost Research, an association of amateur spirit seekers.

We joined a group of eight trainees being taught how to get spooks to show themselves. Our spot: a nearly 100-year-old tavern, now the home of a couple who claim their pillows fly, disembodied voices speak and unusual odors start and stop.

We learned how to use the group’s gun-like electromagnetic-field detectors and the ways in which spirits supposedly manifest themselves. (They can be seen on film or on camera because they cause glowing spheres.)

I’m a skeptic. So when I smelled an unbearable body odor, I blamed my friend — until it quickly disappeared. The couple then told me that they’ve smelled it, too, and they believe it’s connected to a ghost. And when, in the attic, trainee Richard Zoll recorded those racing white spheres, I was officially spooked.

But by the time we’d gotten back in the car, the spell had broken, and we discussed how the supposedly otherworldly phenomena could be explained — i.e., glitches common to digital-photography.

Two days later, however, a friend who had come along that evening showed me a photo he’d taken of trainee Anthony Ricci in the house’s otherwise empty basement. Next to him, in a cloud of ethereal mist, were the conjoined faces of two translucent children.

“Heck yeah! Charge admission. <G>”

“ghostbuster trainees? wow, why didn't i think of that as a career? oh yeah, because i'd pee myself. LOL!!

so, are they going to move, or do they like it?”

“Depends, lyra! Don't be kept from your true calling by a little thing like incontinence!”

“I can hear it now: "What part of your new job do you like best, lyra?"
"Hmmm, Depends!"”

“you're right...i feel so empowered! except if i got those, i think my true calling might be running on the beach with a dog, with an insane grin on my face.”

“Oh...

He said if he'd known the place was haunted, he'd have paid more for it. I guess they're staying.”

Is it like an Elk hunt out west? Do you have to pay if you don't fill your tag?”

“Oooookay.

Update time.

The ghost researchers made a voice recording in my brother's attic. Go to http://southjerseyghostresearch.org/cases2/03026.html and click on the 'Click here to play' field under 'AUDIO RECORDINGS & EVPs'. It says "shut up" twice. Cranky spook.”

“Stabbing suspect blames ghost

By ALAN CROWELL, Staff Writer Kennebec Journal

SKOWHEGAN — A Hartland woman accused of stabbing a drinking companion has blamed the assault on the man's dead ex-wife.

Jean Lampron, 46, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and obstructing the report of a crime after she allegedly stabbed Paul Vicnaire of St. Albans several times Sunday night after drinking whiskey with him at his Hartland Road home.

According to an affidavit filed in Skowhegan District Court Monday, Vicnaire told police that Lampron stabbed him under orders from his dead ex-wife.

Lampron, however, told police that Vicnaire's ex-wife, who was glowing and dressed "in a beautiful white robe," stabbed him.

Lampron told police that she attempted to pull the ex-wife off Vicnaire and in the process got blood on her shirt. Vicnaire was calling the dead woman's name out at the time, Lampron told police, according to the document, signed by Somerset County Sheriff's Deputy Kris M. McKenna.
