What do you believe ? Are ghosts real or just imaginary?
It has became obvious that there is something beyond the ordinary going on, there are thousands of ghostly encounters that can not be explained. On this page I will tell some of the encounters that I have had and it is up to you the reader to decide whether you believe them or not.
My childhood home
I was born in 1941 and was raised in an old log home that was built during the slave days when they would cross the Ohio river and seek sanctuary in Ohio. The area I was raised in was part of an old slave grant for this very purpose . The exact age of the log house is not known just what period of time it was built.
We were situated on a private lane about one quarrter mile off the road in a hollow between two hills with campaign creek running along the east hill and were surrounded with woods. It was an eerie setting to say the least, but it was home and I loved it. All my childhood days there on the farm. At the age of 24 I was married and that is when I moved out of the old house which was by all standards eerie.
The strange presence
The best place I know to start is with the beginning which is as far back as I can remember.
I always fealt uneasy in the house even though it was my home and I knew my parents loved me and that they would protect me. I was afraid in the house alone day or night as a preschooler and even in the early years of grade school and right on through high school there were times I felt the fear of the dark being that lurked within the darkness of the night.
the nights were dark due to the kerosene lamps that we used for lighting. There were times I felt a strange presence in a certain room of the house like some evil lurked there and was just waiting for the right time to get me. My skin would crawl and the feeling of prickling up and down my spine as I would see a large black form standing in the doorway of that room I was stricken with terror. "Mom,mom! There is something there can't you see it?" I would cry out frantically, trembling in fear. She always said soothingly:"son there is nothing there just your imagination it is all right." I would calm down but kept an eye on the doorway where the strange dark presence had been. I would not stay in the house by myself in my young years I was never afraid outside;just in the forboding house. This continued all of my younger years. I am sure my dad thought me a coward but there was really something there beyond the ordinary. After I became a teenager I realized that I must do all I could to conceal my fear of the presence within that house but things happened there that could not be naturaly explained.
I will tell more of the strange events of the log house as we progress through this web site. Now I leave you with these questions. Was what I saw and felt real? Could it have been a demon from hell? Was it simply a ghost? I will also reveal the answerws to these questions also as we progress.
