In the beginning, we had just moved into our new-older house. The house was built in 1976. On the first day, my daughter informed me that she saw a man walking past our old well. I paid no mind to her reports, but she insisted that this kept happening.

     She states that there are two men total, and both are wearing ‘Army Uniforms’ with ‘knives’ on the barrels. They walk back and forth, almost as if they’re guarding something. She claims that these ‘men’ can be seen 3 to 4 days a week.

     In the progression of two months time, we have had objects move, glowing lights that ‘intelligently’ go around us, rustling of papers in unoccupied rooms, and a dog that’s afraid of the front yard after dark.

     Regarding the dog, he seems to ‘see’ something that we don’t. There have been, within the past week, two different occurrences that have made the dog, a terrier, scared to death. In one instance, he started barking while looking out the front door. His barking turned to gasping, followed by whimpering. He then started backing up as he was barking, almost if something was heading toward him. All at once, he yelped as if in pain, and ran away yelping. Another instance had him lunge, or be tossed, over three feet in the air. He ran to the couch and climbed under a cushion. At that same time, my wife noted that a decorative item hanging on a string started spinning at an unbelievable rate of speed. All at once, it came to a complete stop; rather than slowing down naturally. She claims, “It was as if a person reached their hand up and stopped it.”

     The historian of Clermont County, Richard Crawford, claims that various paranormal activities have been repeatedly sighted in our area for over 100 years. Some say it’s UFO’s, some say its ghosts, and others say everyone else is crazy. My plan is to prove to myself one of the above. Hopefully I (or my family) won’t go nuts-o in the process.

SWITCHFOOTGRL1 Written by Guest on 2005-01-13 18:53:40 IT'S SOOO COOL HOW DO YOU LIVE IN THAT HOUSE? I WOULD BE SOOOO SCARED!! ARE YOU? HAS THAT GHOST EVER DONE ANYTHNG TO YOU? OR ANYONE!? WELL I LOVE TE STORY I'M 14 IN 8TH GRADE AND I LOVE GHOST

patty1019 Written by Guest on 2005-01-17 00:07:35 to the person in clermont county; i understand fully what you are going through as i've lived in a place like your's. every week as kids we also visisted a house in athens county, relatives, where over the years i've counted 18 ghosts i've seen there, 3 i've only heard, one that's gone through my arm and shoulder 3 times, two with red glowing eyes, and some which didn't appear to be human spirits. maybe i can be of some help to you as i've also done such experimenting with ghosts we discovered we had in an apt in lancaster, ohio. hey, when you have to put up with their noise, throwing things, opening the deadbolt door at all times of the day and nite no matter what the weather, and choking me i'd say i had the right to try to put their behaviour in check! lol i can laugh about it now but i know how you feel being in the thick of it. everyone on our street knew about our houses history but us! i researched the history of not only the house but the area and talked to the oldest neighbors near this house, who's been there for years. i learned who two of the ghosts were, lol, which made them more human and less scary to me. the third, a little gir, we actually heard speaking to my daughter. that one was the polterguist. my daughter of 5 at the time drew a very detailed pic of this little girl, she was found to be gifted at artwork at a very young age. in the picture i saw what appeared to be buttom up shoes and button up long sleeves on the dress. i quizzed her about these two things and asked her how they worked. she "knew" that a button hook was used on the shoes, something i'd learned very early from my grandma. my daughter had never seen such shoes or seen how they were buttoned. everything the girl had on in the pic was period or went together for that time period.     i found early in life that i saw people that others did not and some that others did which we could all see through. i didn't have to go in a house to know there was a ghost in or around it. people would notice my uneasiness in their houses when i was young and ask me what was wrong. i told them and they laughed then asked me questions concerning the details of what i saw. needless to say i hit a nerve with the correctness of the details which i couldnt' have know about. punishment was severe from then on and i had to keep much to myself. it's very disconcerting to be walking through a room, minding your own business, enjoying the day, when you look up and see someone there and say, "oh, i didn't see you there! Hi!" then i realize i could see through them as i saw them smiling at me and they fade out and disappear altogether. some like to look for ghosts but i've seen them not because i was trying. these ghosts made eye contact with me, deliberate eye contact. they weren't looking past me or through me either. they responded to my talking to them when i thought they were "real" physical people! when i realized they weren't i'd say "oh, Shi* while watching them disappear.     if you need help, in clermont county, as to how to research the area or the property and house or if you need pointers on how to deal with problem ghosts you may contact me a calligraphy1019@netscape.net if nothing else i'm very interested in your experiments. also, when it's good weather again, lol, if you would like me to check out your place to see what i pick up on there i'd be happy to. i've been in clermont county looking at real estate with my husband and there was one place in particular where i picked up on a heavy military presence. i kept seeing guys in uniforms which reminded me vaguely of "war of 1812" uniforms. they appeared to be british though. i'll have to look into that. i feel there's some evidence that they were there. the spiritual presence in that area was really strong and my husband noticed the look on my face. i didn't feel safe. after it felt we were past it he asked me what had spooked me. i told him. it would be interesting to find that british in 1812 was there eh?     thanks,  patty1019

Question Written by thelostamerican on 2005-01-29 16:58:21 you replied to my mail. Thank you. I didn't expect it, t be honest. But I noticed you have written something to the effect that it's not always fun. Is it because of what your wife and daughter have to go thru (or your dog)? Or because of your fans?

Written by thelostamerican on 2005-01-29 17:02:18 Furthermore: Hats off to Patty. here in ...... Europe.... as an american.... it's funny. You just don't talk about these things. And when, then its only as a joke.

Salty Written by thelostamerican on 2005-01-29 17:18:55 Hi Patty,  You've mentionrd the sat as crystals in a woman are higher as as those in a man. But how do they see that? I mean, a man sweats more than a woman. You can smell it.. do they notice it some other way?...... maybe you... the Admin of this site.... should run around the block a few times... and see what happens! Its no joke. I need to know.you're on to something. Hopefully.

No Written by rootweb on 2005-01-29 19:29:38 No, thelostamerican, it's not because of the fans. The fans are actually the reason I keep the site up. There's been times that I've thought about turning the site off, but I'm not since there are so many fans. Plus I love hearing other people's stories and theories. It's cool, it really is. When I say it's not always fun, I'm probably referring to the 'entity' that's here. When guests come over that aren't aware, we have to make excuses for noises, lights turning on, and the guests 'seeing someone' that wasn't really there.    I may also be referring to the updating of this site. Although the outcome is fun, it takes quite a bit of time. Not to worry, thelostamerican, I really enjoy everything the way it is and hope it remains for a long time. I haven't any plans to quit any longer.    As for Patty, yes, she seems very knowledgable about the paranormal. I asked her if she could write details about her theories and experiences, but I don't think she's going to.    The crystal thing most probably allows a female to simply be more receptive. They are much more docile than us; usually. Don't know....

Written by thelostamerican on 2005-02-10 09:50:47 More docile? That's a good one. You haven't met my wife. HAHA (I'll have to sleep on the couch for that one).  I'm not really sure it is a male/female thing. I think some people attract entities for some reason or other and the intensity that they recieve these ... guests... varies as well. The crystal thing is the best theory I've heard yet in that it attempts to be logical. Most explanations are really farfetched or add more questions than they answer. (I'll stop rambling).  I'd like to see more details from Patty as well, but ... I can understand if she hesitates to write more. It's not always easy to write about these things. Remembering the instances can be troubling after years of keeping everything to yourself (out of denial or fear of being laughed at or worse still to be associated with a group of real wierdos who just want to stand out). Or it could be she just went "shopping". Even for a loaf of bread, women need at least 3 hours in 5 different stores. Afterwards they still forget to buy it and have to leave again. One of those never ending circles things   Ok. Time to go get my pillow and blanket from the bed and make my sofa all comfi. Take care!

sorry all! Written by patty1019 on 2005-03-10 17:36:55 i wasn't watching all the notes the progression of replies to them, sorry. have been very busy with my health right now, not well. yes, we women are into shopping as in hunter gatherers, lol. my husband's worse than i am.     cough cough, lol and why are you sleeping on the couch,,,,,,,,hmmmmm!!!! lol my husband when asked for an opinion he knows is opposite to mine by another person says he likes sleeping inside. lol yes, jeff foxworthy.     i've been working on entering replies to other threads here, lol. just ask lostamerican!     check around and see what i've posted and i'll be sure and check the other threads that have continued to my ignorance lol.     thanks,  patty1019

re: crystals Written by Guest on 2005-03-17 13:13:42 hey lost american,    you gotta quit getting put in the dog house man! lol what exactly is it you think you're onto with crystals, regarding the above post you left. i heard a report that women on the average hold more water than men. in school i learned that a certain percentage of the human body is salt water. salt is a crystal. a crystal radio set can send and recieve if contructed that way. add electricity and you're in business. the spark that keeps the heart in a human going is electrical in nature so that combined with salt..........i'm still working on the rest. i know that each type of crystal had a set vibration according to the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which is clearly illustrated by the full color spectrum as well. light is composed of every color of the spectrum and each color resonates with a vibration unique to itself. what do you have that might go with this i'm very intrigued. by the way if this site closes you can reach me at patty1019@gmail.com hope this site dosen't close, i have learned alot of useful things here. sorry, i don't mean to imply that the owner of this site should stay in such a house but rather that this is a very informative site. that, and the owner is from ohio which is a particular topic of interest to me when speaking of the paranormal. it's said that the archeological finds in this state alone outrank all other states. ross county, in ohio, outranks all other counties in ohio.     to the owner of this site.........i saw where your daughter described the soldiers she saw, their uniforms and their rifles with bayonettes fixed. the word bayonette is french and oddly enough the french fought alongside the american army in the war of 1812 against the english. polish troops were known to fight with them and are documented as having fought with them in that same war. they were documented as having been in ohio, specifically in clermont county. the name clermont means clear view in french and was named such by french who fought with the british during the revolutionary war. they were given these lands in ohio as recompense for their assistance. ohio wasn't ohio at that time but later became the nw territory before becoming the state of ohio in 1803. could you ask your daughter to describe the hat the soldiers were wearing. i could tell you quickly from her description if they were french or polish or some other. i've already researched the military presences in ohio during different periods of time. i did so out of curiosity from something that happened to me while passing from clermont county into hamilton county some months ago. my husband was driving and i was kicked back enjoying the balmy day and the smell of the trees to my right. all of a sudden as happens at times to me, i was standing behind a large wagon which was being pulled by what looked like oxen. all around me were soldiers, as i looked around me i saw campfires, tents, and piles of provisions here and there. i saw these troops practicing their maneuvers in formation. behind me i heard the sound of alot of feet coming. i turned around to see another formation of troops coming up behind me on this dirt road. all i wanted to do was get the heck out of there and pushed my hands outward to push myself out of this. it's always instinct and not something i think about when this occurs. when i realize i'm in a dangerous situation i push out. only then do i realize that i've had a vision. it was too real. i could smell the burning wood of the campfires, the smell of frying pork. i could smell gunpowder and see small clouds of it hanging in the air near where these soldiers were practice shooting with their guns. i could taste the dust kicked up on the road by so much disturbing it. to my right were the same trees but they weren't the same one's i'd seen just recently. obviously the trees were the same species and this area had escaped development yet i could see alot of stumps where old growth trees had been removed. this same area in my vision hadn't had that many stumps. obviously before i came back to the present time i made some sort of noise which alarmed my husband as to my well being. he asked if i was ok and i was a bit confused from the whole affair still. i asked him why he asked and he said it looked like something really frightened me. i told him i was ok so that i could review what i'd seen in this vision. i could very clearly see the colors of the uniforms, the shape of their hats, the design of their uniforms, their weapons, etc. all in great detail. when these visions come it's not by my doing. this may be the same thing that's happening to your daughter. this has happened all my life, while driving, while doing housework, while walking down the street, and while talking to other people. sometimes it happens in my sleep, sometimes while i'm on the phone. good thing i don't drive anymore lol. people notice when i've had a vision and say i look and acted like something really frightened me. how can i tell them what happened? who'd believe it unless it happened to them? how do i explain this to myself? i've seen some horrific things in some of these visions or out of body experiences and still who can i tell about this? that is, who can i tell who won't think i'm just plain nuts. i've taken the necessary steps to find out if i had something neurologically wrong that would cause this to happen. nothing was found to be causing this. i had myself checked physically and mentally/emotionally and again nothing found to be causing this. they told me this has been documented as having happened to other people and when the details were checked against documentation they were found to be correct. the last one i talked to about this i told him that i wished he would've just told me i was nuts. he looked puzzled and asked why i'd say that. i told him it would be much easier to deal with than the things i'd seen. he said he understood that. the average person can be mean when it comes to this subject let alone that of ghosts. if your daughter begins to have problems please note that church people will think she's possessed or that these things are evil, right from the get go. the catholics will want you to join their church if you don't already belong. then they'll say a mass for her and offer you all the holy water you want. they might tell you to be wary of a possession. the pentecostals have methods of fighting such things. if indeed they need to be fought. usually it scares them too and they suggest telling your daughter not to pay any attention to these things. how can she not when it disturbs her. the preists who do blessings on and in haunted houses do so with the family pre programmed to not respond to the problem and act like it dosen't exist. anyone see the movie about the house these people bought which had funeral utensils in the basement, a gurney, and a cold storage vault. their boys slept down there. things got so bad for them there that they called in a preist. the ghosts didn't appreciate this and if it wasn't bad enough before it got much worse. the family fled the house never to return.     if anyone is familiar with the murray city area just outside buchtel in athens county ohio you may have heard of such a house there. my step dad told me about it. said everyone would come from miles around on the weekends to watch this house. i looked at him with a raised eyebrow and asked, "watch a house?!" and laugh. he said yes, they would all watch this one particular house. the windows and doors would open and close by themselves over and over again like they were mechanical or something. the house was full of nice furniture which previous occupants had left behind in their haste to escape the house. men went in one time that my step dad saw and tried to bring furniture out. they ended up dropping what they had and running for dear life out the door. finally the small town got tired of all the congestion and trouble from people who came to see this house that the town tore it down. no one would live there, no one could stay in it long if they did go in, and no one wanted anything to do with it. it was a nuisance and they tore it down. people were really upset and tried to stop the demolition but they tore it down anyway. oldtimers in that area could be contacted if you're a resident of that area. they'd be able to tell you. these things really do exist and playing like they aren't happening dosent' work. acting like the paranormal dosen't exist dosen't make it go away. many of us wish it were so but it ain't lol.     lost american, you gotta stay out of the doghouse man! lol    patty1019

I said something intelligent? Written by thelostamerican on 2005-03-19 16:57:30 Hi Guest!    Thanx for the advice about the doghouse. I've sincerely thought about opening a motel for men who push it too far. There seems to be a demand for it. haha.    Crystals are very important in electronics, which I've been doing in various fields for over 20 years. Depending on the type of crytal (which determines its stability) and the cut of it (which determines the frequency at which it resonates), they are applied in all active communication devices (radios, tv) as well as in passive devices requiring electronic control (VCR, computers, coffee machines with clocks and automatic timer). They are applied alot in filters to demodulate signals or to keep timing on for regulatory devices. Salt is a crystal. Ipso disto facto, it could be that some resonate at a frequency available to our friends on the other side.    Furthermore, the human body.... forget that. Let's not forget how the dog reacts.... the biological anatomy is filled with electricity. In very small doses, but measurable. Many medical devices measure the electricitay in the body in the millevolt or microvolt area.     Who has more water is a good question. I'm told often enough that men are full of S*&t, but I don't think thats conductive to electricity.    "all i wanted to do was get the heck out of there and pushed my hands outward to push myself out of this. it's always instinct and not something i think about when this occurs. when i realize i'm in a dangerous situation i push out. " Can you feel yourself pulling out? Or is it my imagination when I've done the "Thrust".    "how can i tell them what happened? who'd believe it unless it happened to them? how do i explain this to myself? i've seen some horrific things in some of these visions or out of body experiences and still who can i tell about this? that is, who can i tell who won't think i'm just plain nuts. "    And THAT, Root, is what makes this site so unique. We're normal people with abnormal experiences who finally found somewhere comfortable and trusting to finally open up. Believe me, I've been to a thousand other forum sites and they're all the same. This one has heart.    I'll be in touch

re: pushing out of visions Written by patty1019 on 2005-03-22 03:54:49 to lost american,    what's unique here, that i like about you is you hold nothing back man, lol!!!! by the way, my husband asked me to ask you where the dog sleeps if you're always in his box.     pushing out of visions....... yes, it feels like a suction when i put both arms out horizontal in front of me like pushing off a wall. it's like as soon as i push i feel some thrust and zip i'm back in my body. sometimes i can be in my body and be elsewhere at the same time, i've had that happen too. it's weird feeling and smelling both places at the same time. maybe this comes from having died so many times i don't know but if anyone else has had this happen to them it would really help me to know about it.     hotel for wayward husbands would be a good name for your hotel lost american, lol. and hey, not all women say "all" men are full of sh** all the time. men and women can be equal if only in respect of being full of it.     did anyone see the show last night about the ghost horse? it was one part of a show about ghost animals. one woman was riding her horse and only about 100 yds from a road when something spooked the horse sending him towards the road. the woman screamed to the car to stop but it was too late. she missed her horse so much but one day as she was brushing down another horse they had, the usual hay net for the horse that died began to move like a horse was eating hay from it. the only thing was there was no horse to be seen near it. she said this went on for about 5 minutes! she said this gave her peace of mind knowing her horse is still alive even without a body. she knows he's ok.     i had a dog i loved so much and kept feeling a cold nose on the back of my ankle. he didn't live with us though. he was living with one of my brothers. days of this went by. that dog loved me so much and wanted to live with me by my rent agreement forbade it. i finally called to see how my dog was doing and found he'd been dead for over three days! no one felt i needed to know. anyway, it freaked me out that even after finding this out i still kept feeling the cold nose on my ankle. i sat down and cried that i missed him so much and felt him near me. my heart ached to hold him and rub his ears like he always wanted. he had found a way to be with me again but it freaked me out so bad i asked him to go be with a good relative on the other side. after that there was no more cold nose on the ankle. i always found that shockingly cold anyway. everyone knew this dog liked to go bye bye to pick me up from band practice at the school. if the phone rang and i wasn't home yet he'd bite at the ankles of anyone who went to answer it. they even said when they left it ring he'd try to knock the receiver off. he liked rides and would perch on the top of the front seat to have a birds eye view. everyone was glad he wasn't an ankle biter after he died, lol. he had wanted more than anything to live with me when i moved away from home. it tore him up that he couldn't live with me.     anyone else had a pet that came back or stayed after they died?     thanks,  patty1019

Patty Written by thelostamerican on 2005-03-22 19:02:13 Hey Patty,    Tell your husband my dog done packed his suitcases long ago. We've worked out an agreement though. I won't snore and he won't take my blanket. And the parties end at midnight! Damn Milkbones scattered everywhere the next morning. Water dishes left on the table half full. Unknown dogs calling me "Pops" with that foul hung over breath. GEEEZ!    Seriously:  Anybody had pets that came back? Please share.    tla

HA!!! Written by Guest on 2005-03-24 10:34:25 you sound like one of the guys my husband used to do historical rendezvous with!     his friends who were still doing this when i met them told me a story. they got tired of a woman taking their pics without permission and finding she sold them for alot of money. she didn't share the wealth with the rendezvousers. they found a dead groundhog, had brought some carrots with the tops still attached and some potatoes with the dirt on them. they had an old chamber pot (potty) put it on the fire with water and plopped in all the ingredients i mentioned without cleaning anything. they put the lid on and waited for the woman to appear like clockwork. it smelled pretty good and so when she came she asked what was cooking. they told her go ahead and take the lid off. when she did, as curiosity got the better of her, she screamed. the groundhog bobbed up out of there head first! lol they said she never came back again.     another time they came upon a deer that'd just been hit. the statey said they could have it and they were cooking it up on the fire to eat. people who came to the public rendezvous enquired as to what they were cooking that smelled so good. this was a woman who tried every year to get the rendezvousers in trouble. they said one of them had a dog that had just died and he had the skin tanned and hanging in his tent. they didn't say this is what they were cooking, lol. ornery i know! lol anyway, they told her to go look and she did. next thing they knew she'd left and come back with a forest ranger who asked them away from her what was going on. they told him and he left laughing his head off! lol she was so mad and then they told her they'd played a joke on her. they said she failed to see the humor in it and left. she never bothered them again.   for these guys it's not uncommon for them to be standing around at one of these events in kilts. invariably women will walk up thinking they'll embarrass the men and ask if it's true what they wear under the kilts. it never fails that all of them look at one another and ask the women, "wear what under the kilt?!" as the women are leaving with red faces these guys are all laughing hysterically. yep, these are the guys who've been cow tipping and out house tipping! i'd tell you other things they've done but the statute of limitations isn't up on them yet. lol imagine these guys coming back as ghosts. i've often wondered if ghosts are just people who've retained their sense of humor to use on those unsuspecting few. i believe from what i've seen some do.     anyone know of ghosts who exhibit personality quirks? i'd love to hear about it if you have.     lost american i've got to show my husband your post about the dogs, lol. i'll get back to you about that.     patty1019

The doghouse Written by Kitty on 2005-03-24 19:02:10 TLA, it is not just your wife that is not "docile"...so is RootWeb's...let me tell you I did not get the nickname of Kitty with Claws for no reason ...     Patty, my father grew up in a house that had a small child who died of TB that would visit him at night regularly. He said that you could tell every night when this child (I honestly forget his name) would come to his room because he could not stand to have the closet door open. Now, I don't really understand why that is/was. I honestly did not believe him until about five years ago when he took me to the same house, and happened to mentioned casually (which is funny if you knew my father, who is the opposite of casual, being Irish) if the little boy still visited the upstairs bedroom, kept closing the closet, and tearing the toilet paper off the roll in the upstairs bathroom (even if the door was locked from the outside). The new owners' were stunned, startled, and surprised. The confirmed his story. And I was made a believer in my father's story that day.    So, a ghost with a fear of the closet door being open, would that count?    As a side note, I did research, and found out that in the 1840's, a young boy had died at the age of 9 in that house of the "lung disease."    I shall talk to you all later,    RootKitty

JellyBean Written by Guest on 2005-03-29 14:13:29 Hi, I have had experiences with the paranormal since I was a child. I am 35 now & I have lived in haunted houses everywhere I have moved. I can sense spirits. I have a daughter that was born fully veiled & she is not happy about it at all. We have a ghost Sarah(atleast that is the name that i sense for her) she doesn't like my neice. So far my neice (12) has peed her pants she got so scared at my house. Sarah likes to play yahtzee with us & she also will call your name & slam doors -this usually being when my neice is around. I am growing fond of her. Anyway, I have many stories good & evil with the spirit world. I just want to say I am glad you have this great site. I have begun to understand some things a lot better from sites like this. Have a great day!

Hi Jellybean! Written by thelostamerican on 2005-03-30 09:40:36 You're never too old to have a good ghost experience     Has Sarah been with you long? Has she moved with you from one house to another?    Glad to see ya here   tla

Some of them, the ones that slam doors, walk loudly, throw stuff through the air, etc, want attention. These wre the few that you should be careful of (never end a sentence with of). The more htey are ignored, the more they try. Like children (also not a complete sentence but it works).

good grammer! Written by patty1019 on 2005-06-09 13:33:57 lol,    yep, lately when i write a letter or post a note somewhere i remember something my teacher used to say alot to the class, "never begin a sentence with a preposition!" what, is a preposition? lol i'm not in the mood to look it up! who cares anway, the way you think and normally talk to friends and family should be acceptable shouldn't it? lol ever have flashbacks fo all the red marks the teacher would put all over your english papers?! i do.     well, not a good day here again! guess what? i got awakened by the ghost once again. the sound was of "tong tong tong" like someone hitting two or three solidly attached pieces of metal to something which didn't conduct a vibration like wood. there were three notes, if you want to compare it to music. the first note was the same as the last. the middle one was higher. it sounded like it was right next to my head too! dang! the dog was sitting beside me on the bed shivering with her eyes as big as saucers. she was surveying the room nervously with her eyes only. the direction her head was in the whole time told me the sound i heard came from the same place she was looking at. she was looking at a desk which holds a table fan, a lamp and some odds and ends. there were no metal pieces to be found there like what i heard! i got up cussing, lol. i'd had a bad night trying to sleep with the heat of the house and the fan blowing on me.     the other day a neighbor told she'd forgotten all about a woman who'd died in our house. an alcoholic woman who'd bled out internally. she had a young daughter. i was told what room the woman died in. if she's the spook i'm going back over to get her name from the neighbor and begin proceedings to evict her spirit,lol. you don't interrupt my sleep and live to tell about it ! lol. even when my kids were young they learned this fact real quick.     the thing is now, the sounds used to be in the hallway outside the bedroom but not inside the bedroom. that's my personal space! now the dog, well, she'd been invaded in there already but we never heard it or saw it. we only saw her looking straight ahead and snarling like we'd never heard her do before. time after time we'd turn the light on to see what it was and there'd be nothing. the dog was barking like....it's right there can't you see it?! she'd get p'd if you told her to ignor it. she'd give us looks like you've got to be kidding, that thing is huge! lol this dog's eyes and posture are very expressive. we all interpret for her.     well, i told the ghost or ghosts responsible that i didn't like being woke up at 8 am so now maybe they're just saying that they got that message?     tla, i've been wondering about something recently and thought you might be able to help. it's ghost related for sure but for now i won't tell you how, ok?     well, is there any way to find out what the electrical usage of a ct. scan machine would've been in 1983? i was undergoing brain mapping via this machine at ohio state university in one of those. it overloaded on them during the test. all i could gather from them at the time was that it used alot of juice. juice? electricity, they explained, and a whole lot of it. they wanted to know what i did during the test and i told them i was just lying there minding my own business. they rechecked me for metal which i guess can throw it off and pretty much checked everything but inaccessable orifaces, lol. they asked if i had anything in them even! can you imagine?!! what a question! i said, "maybe you should give your tech's a physical just to be sure it wasn't them! the techs gave me a shocked look and then gulped, lol. yep, i bet they were thinking about the details of such an examination! lol i was taken to the next room where the controls were and the whole bed was searched. the entire room was then searched while i stood there in nothing but a hospital gown. it was a bit nippy in there! i watched at the tech at the controls began to get pics of what the machine had obtained form the part of the test that they accomplished before sparks began to fly all over. the machine overloaded they said. for that to happen they said whatever affected it had to have put out more "juice" than that machine. yep, there's that word again, "juice", electricity. they asked me to come clean about what i'd done and i asked what could i have possibly done to do that?! i mean, come on! they said i'd have had to have huge electrical cables running to the machine, and the juice flowing to it for the machine to have done that. i asked them if they saw me in possession of such cables, lol. dumb question i said but maybe, just maybe it wasn't me? lol the main guy ordered a complete survey of the electrical mains to this room, to have a complete inspection done on the machine and the electrical feeds. he told them this way, "look until you find out what caused this!" it was down for three days while they brought in experts from far away. the machine was fine, in excellent working order, and so was all the electrical systems. everything was fine. again i was questioned about that machine. i said, i didn't do it. i could not have done it according to how they said it would've had to have been done, and i wasn't paying for it! i just laid it right out there for them all! they looked at each other and laughed. i said, well, it wasn't very funny to me. we weren't poor but we weren't financially secure either! they looked at me a few seconds and went to whispering to one another. they were giggling. i said, you know, my teachers always told us it wasn't polite to whisper and look at people. they looked at one another and laughed. they said i was more fun than professional comics they'd seen. i told them "very funny"! i wanted to get on with what this was all about. they one doc said no one was going to sue me or anything, the insurance wasn't going to be charged for it, the machine was fine, in tip top shape in fact. i asked, 'then what's this all about?" they said they wanted to know how "i" did it. i said, "there you go again with "me" being to blame. i didn't do anything! how could i have done that?! they said there was no other explanation for it. i was the only variable to the equasion that hadn't been checked out yet. then, there were the pics the machine had recorded of my brain right up to the time the machine began throwing sparks! okkkkk.......now they were just p'ing me off! i said, "get a grip people! how can you say i did it?!" maybe it was a fluke i offered. no, they'd ruled everything else out. i was doing something but it wasn't a crime i said, it was a right i had as a u.s. citizen. furthermore if they wanted to push it i was more than willing to defend that right and so would many many others. they asked what i'd done. i asked them if it was crazy to beleive in god or pray to him. they readily said no it wasn't crazy. they'd seen where prayer had an effect on improving peoples' health. it had been studied. i asked if they believed prayer worked. they said they thought it did in so far as a positive attitude of the one seeking help through prayer. they thought this was the good effect of it. i asked if they'd ever considered that god was real or that this real person had great power. they sort of snickered. they said from all they'd seen, god was more a myth, a focal point, not an actual person. there was no evidence that he exists or ever did. i said fair enough but do people have the sort of power it would take to overload a ct scan machine? that intrigued them. they took time to debate it among themselves. they said there'd been no evidence to suggest that human beings could do that. however, human beings had done superhuman things in emergencies like pick up vehicles. i reminded them that this was adrenaline...........not electricity of the magnitude they were talking about. i said where does that come from in humans or where do they get it from. they said it wasn't present in humans but some people could draw it from somewhere outside themselves. they suspected i was one of those people. oh great! now i'm gonna become someone's lab rat! they laughed and said no one would do that against my will. they just wanted to know what i'd done while in that machine. i said, ok, i was praying, if you have to know! they laughed saying they didn't see how that could do that. i said, something sure had and that's all i could tell them i did. so, if i'm the loose variable and all i was doing was praying then you tell me. three days later they wanted me to repeat what i'd done in the machine and this time a whole lot of doctors were there to watch. i told them i didn't think it would do it as strong. they'd given me a shot of iodized iodine in the arm. the weird effects of that shot caused me to fear so i began praying to calm my mind. all i was doing was talking to god while the test was being done, sort of like a mental diversion. i did this and they were all "oohing and ahhing" while looking at the control panel in the next room. they said they couldn't tell me what was going on except that it had pretty much the same results without all the sparks. i'd seen the previous test pics and the tech's saying my whole brain lit up like a christmas tree. they did say at the time they'd found three artifacts in my brain. artifacts to me meant like arrow heads and such. they explained that these were like a little bead, one in my left inner ear, one in the nasal cavity between my eyes, and one at the base of my brain. all were in inaccessible areas, at least at that time. they didnt' know about the one that'd been seen moving in the palm of my right hand in '78 by my doctor. he was so shocked that he began talking to himself that he could lose his license, he'd been called nuts, etc. i saw it and he saw it. when he said he didn't see it i said, "gee thanks! what if that's something that's going to make me really sick?!" he said i'd have to take it up with another doctor. i said, "ok what do you think it could be?" he said he had never seen anything like it , it was like it was evading his probing my hand for it. when he looked at it it moved on it's own and hid in my hand! he said right then and there that he'd never admit to any of this if anyone were ever to ask. how'd i get these. the docs at o.s.u. said they figured these sorts of things were just odd pieces of the human body. some had them some didn't. they didnt' know much about them. if they weren't causing any trouble in people they saw no need to remove them.     it's been said that some scientists have done experiments into the possibility that human beings can and do produce paranormal effects around themselves. they can do things remotely using their minds and our government has spent alot of money on such research. is it possible, i suppose. but what's the deal with this amount of electricity that was needed to overload that ct machine? and how could a human body conduct such electricity without it doing irreparable harm to the person it's flowing through? i'd think the human brain wouldnt be geared to handle such an electrical load such as this.     there are some tantalyzing clues as to why i think it is possible for some human beings to produce paranormal effects that are visible, such as ghosts. for now, content that i'm on the right track, with this, i'm trying to gather information on the particulars of it. paranormal things have happened around me my entire life. i've always wondered why i'm so weird. i feel like a freak. the electrical information could be a starting point for research into how this all works. maybe from such research we can develop better evp, photography, and other equipment to enable us to better record the activities of the paranormal. there are many things i know about what's happened to me over the years. hopefully i can work with someone who's interested in evp and ghost photography and share the clues i have. tla, i think you understand electricity alot better than i do, by far. that's why i've asked you. if anyone else reading this has any ideas on this please feel free to post them. have my head checked? lol been there done that! lol went to all the best doctors too. there's one theory out of the way! i'm not nuts! lol i know i feel like it would be better to be nuts sometimes. i just feel that there's going to be some discoveries made about the paranormal in the next few years which will prove the other side is really there and we can communicate with it. some of us already do communicate with it and very often too. such evidence will free us from being abused as witches and evil doers. from what i've read and seen i can safely say that i believe the other side has always been here with us. superstition has kept us from looking into the reality of it over a long period of time and the future will mean we grasp our whole world not just the parts we can deal with. superstition is falling by the wayside.     thanks,  patty1019

Right Written by Guest on 2005-07-03 15:31:29 This place is borderline creepy...

Written by thelostamerican on 2005-07-07 15:59:41 Yea, it is. It's creepy in the sense that "Ghosts" are real. But in our attempts to help Root, we tend to treat it as it is... an everyday, nothing special, bothersome nusance that we'd really like to understand. Maybe its this acceptance that makes it so mundane at times. But it is a part of our lives. And it dosen't always involve bloodshed.    As for me, I'm just going to kick back with my pet demondog sprawled beside me, wait for my wife to fly by with my goblet of cursed druied virgin blood and enjoy straddling the borderline

Another Clermont County person here Written by onebigmickeyfan on 2005-08-24 13:08:00 I too am from Clermont County. And I know Rick Crawford, he is such a wonderful storyteller, I could listen to him for days. I happen to live across the street from a cemetary and I have not really experienced anything out of the ordinary in our house but always I feel very uneasy in the yard at night. I have also noticed that our dogs seem to see and bark out the front window at nothing alot. It's not barking at the wind as occasionally they will do. Its directly focused on something outside but when we look we see nothing. I do walk in the cemetary from time to time with no issues.

1 more reason NOT to visit Ohio Written by thelostamerican on 2005-08-24 16:02:55 Hi Big!    Welcome to the site!    Your dogs apparently see something or sense something you don't. They have a bad habit of doing that. Ask Root about his hairless wonder dog     Do you go for your walks in the cemetary during the day or at night? (Not that I think it matters all that much... I think).    take care!  tla

The Night Closes in Written by Guest on 2005-08-28 23:07:32 I am more inclined to believe we conjour up the things that are negative in our life and leave a imprint of them, hence so called ghostly activity........Or perhaps we are ghosts and the living are sitting here as I write this mocking us......

animals Written by ladyolight on 2007-01-31 09:55:45 It has always been known that animals are more perceptive of spirits.They can see and hear more than us.If you have a housepet just watch them watching somethings we can"t.Spirits that were angry in life are still angry in death.The same with gentle people becoming gentle spirits and so on.Lets not forget the playful ones who hide our keys!

Thanks Written by Guest on 2007-06-21 00:18:43 I love the site, I am not a whiz at the pc so I am finding it difficult to get around here. But, It is great to know I am not the only one out here who sees and hears things.    Thanks,  Kim

No Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Written by Guest on 2007-11-27 21:07:38 I love ur story. Ive had encounters just like that before. I am 12, and lmy father passed away about 1 year ago . Sometimes I believe he gets angry with us and makes it known. For example afew days ago, my mother, my cousin, my cousin's mom, and i where playing a game, when all of the sudden there was a loud crash. We ran into the bathroom, and the whole shelf was completely off the walls, glass was everywhere from a small statue that had been crushed in the comotion. The funniest thing of all was that the nails where stillperfectley in place. Other times i come home from school and lights that i knew i had turned of after my mother left are on. Sometimes vice versa. Our old apartment was haunted for sure. You would go to bed and hear strange noises. Or loud talking. The tv would be on after waking up when you no you turned it off. The one before that as well, and even the one before that was probably all haunted. Same strange happenings. Its just too freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!null
