"GREAT GRANDMOTHER"

When great grandmother was around 14 years old, bandits raided her family's small plantation in Mexico. They slaughtered everyone except her and a sister. They were separated and she was taken to their boss's hideout deep in the desert. The leader was an old woman who ran the bandits. The mysterious old woman needed a student to pass her knowledge. Why HER? We may never know.

For years she was trained in the ancient and dark arts of the supernatural until the day the old woman died. Think Sith from Star Wars, one master and one apprentice. Lucy was 18 and left for Texas with the male leader of the bandits ( old woman's son). They made their home in the west and northwest regions of Texas. There she gave birth to her first son which is my grandfather. There, she practice and improve her skills.

My great grandfather was hardly home and came back time to time to give her money. He gave her large sums of money that would last months or even years at a time. He was a well skill bandit and traveled all over the U.S. And Mexico. He became extremely wealthy. The law finally caught up to him and he was killed. That is what she said. Yet, only a small portion of the money was ever recovered. He hid it very well and he always “disposed” of he's gang after every heist.

Lucy raised grandfather by herself. I don't know if she had a great hatred for he's father or too busy but, she never taught her son to read or write. Yet, my grandfather was hard worker and never gave up through out he's life. When he was young man, he fell in love with a half Irish/Apache woman at a flea market. It was love at first sight. She was not happy at all. She didn't want that bloodline to mingle with hers but, he still married her. Lucy developed a plan to punish them both and took years to plan. It was never known how it was done but, it worked. My grandmother became paralyzed and couldn't talk or move very well. She stayed like this till her death . The last moment before her death, she whispered to her “I forgive you.” Right after that, she fell ill with crippling pain. Her health too began to fail. Decades later, she was only able to move only her eyes . I seen it for myself! I was eight years old at the time. My mother and I were in Texas visiting aunt Betsy before she died. When I was in her room, I felt her frighting aura. It was the last time I saw her. She passed away couple of years later.

THE SWORD FROM THE BEYOND

My great grandmother was given a sword by the old witch that was said to belong to a fallen god or something close to it. It was extremely deadly and was wrap with a special cloth to hide its aura. Witches and the supernatural seek after it's power for countless years. She was 18 and left for Texas with the male leader of the bandits. The sword was one of many relics she brought with her to Texas. The sword was like a spirit amplifier and drained large part your life force ever time its was used. So one must have already have unusually high spirit energy. It could harm the intangible and unseen. It was used to cut a tornado in half to save several homes. But it caused a bad drought that year as she predicted. So it was used once for that.

The used of the sword drew an evil presence to the town. One night, the house was attacked by a fire-like entity. The entity's light shined on the entire neighborhood like light of the morning dawn. Around twenty people or so saw this entity. It smelled like sulfur and was circling the house that she lived in. Then, it jumped onto the roof and called her name. She came out and drew out the sword from its cloth. It demanded the sword and she refused. It charged her. She quickly swung the sword and cut it in half. Its' body disappeared into the wind as ash. She became very weak and asked for the oldest grandchild, my uncle. The sword was shattered and its shards hidden though Texas and the nearby states.




THE CRYSTAL EYE


This is also an item that was given to my grandmother by the old woman. It was said to be found in a Maya/Aztec ruins by the old woman or her predecessor. It is a light blue crystal eye that is a little larger than a grown man's hand. In the iris of the eye is an image. The image is a hooded person facing a burning bush. But one can't hold it for a long time. It gives off a weird energy. Some feel a warm/hot feeling and while others feel a cool/cold sensation. It might be radioactive. I don't know it has anything to do with the crystal skulls that are floating around. Lucy never indicated its proper use. It was buried with the other relics that my Uncle secretly hid.



THE ROTTENING BOOK OF LIVING FLESH

My great grandmother had a book like the infamous Necronomicon of the H.P. Lovecraft tales and the Evil Dead movies. It was another item she got from the old woman. My mother said the book was very dangerous. She picked it up and looked inside. The language that it was written in was unfamiliar. It was made of some kind of skin and flesh. It gave off a extremely foul smell like rotten flesh.
There was a companion books that came with it. It was notes from other owners that translated some of it. The last entries are in Latin, others appeared to be much early languages from the middle east region. They appear to be at least a thousand years older if not older. Lucy never used the book. She told them that anything in the book was truly evil and can't be trusted.
One of my aunts became very religions and attempted to destroy it. She threw many books that great grandma had into a fire with my mother's vast comic book collection ( she deemed them evil as well). When the bonfire was over, the book was untouched. It was ice cold and still stank of decaying flesh. My uncle Frank took it and other remaining relics. He hid them in the foundations of several federal buildings.

THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE

In the early fifties, two individuals made an unlikely alliance. A witch ( great grandma Lucy) from a long dead covenant and a government sponsored doctor ( Pearl ). They worked together gathering the unnatural and the paranormal. She would bring him the remains of supernatural things she slain or found. He would collect the deformed (mutants) and talented ( like indigos for an example). The “good” doctor studied the remains and shared his theories with Lucy and his employers. They discovered the DNA was the key to unlocking greater power and its' control. The doctor left to a third world country (Africa or South America) to experiment undisturbed and it appeared he was successful. He came back with an organism( probably a virus) that would revolutionize he work in the paranormal. Hes previous work cost the lives of several dozen to hundreds of children. The actual numbers my never be know. A cousin of my mother had just been born. Dr.Pearl picked him up and said he was not what he wanted. He stab the newborn in the chest with a needle and injected a poison that kill him.

With the new improved knowledge, Dr Pearl took seven newly pregnant women from different backgrounds and injected them with series of "vitamin shots". When all the children were born, they all had familiar characteristics. The one characteristic that sticks out the most was the super high I.Q. By age 8, all the children were smart as high school and college students. Pearl studied them for years and reported there progress. Around the age of 17-18years old, something horrible happen. All except one of them developed extreme mental and physical deterioration. Then they all suddenly died. Their mothers quickly followed them as well. The Doctor's employers were not happy at this failure and sent their agents to "clean up". These men resemble the infamous M.I.B. They killed the doc and made it look like a suicide. The hospital he work at burned down. Any records they were found outside the hospital were altered. They didn't go after my great grandmother ( they probably didn't have enough firepower), but they hunted the last survivor for nearly eight years and nearly had her.

That survivor was my mother. The men came to her fathers house looking for her. He told them that she died and was burn to ash like his Apache ancestors. They believed him for the moment. Meanwhile she fled to Florida to die. Yet death never came. Years pass by and my mother married my father. When she did, somehow it got the attention of her hunters. They came to place of work. The owner told them that he doesn't know that individual or employed such person. They left but didn't believe his story. The strange men staked out the area for days. They realized that she lived on the owner's property itself. One fateful day they found their target on her lawn with her son (me). One of the men pulled out his rifle from his black car and set his aim. My mother saw the men and told me to run away. I was like 2-3 years old at the time. Before he was able to fire, bullets flew by him. The owner and several workers were armed. They were driving trucks and taking aim at the strange men in black. The men jumped back into their black car and drove off. They never came back to my knowledge. But my mother had a strange feeling that they were never faraway.

HER BELIEFS

She didn't belief in the power of God,gods, demon and devils. All the power she needed was inside her already she stated. What little of what I know about her belief is this. “To wield this power one must posse a powerful spirit to master the countless levels. Control your emotions or your weakness will be your downfall.”

GHOSTS

Ghosts come in two categorizes to her. Residue haunting, tragic deaths and overprotective spirits are one. It is what most people have encountered and document. Now there are some ghosts, spirit and angel sightings that are witness that are not what they appear to be. They are a deceptions. For they are a race of entities that toy and feed off the life force of humans. They are psychic leeches that posse an omni like intelligence. An illusion surrounds them which is nearly impenetrable and can fool the best mediums. Amusement is the name of the game when they reveal themselves as past spirits. Ouija boards and seances attract their attention easily. If your easy game, they some how “tag” you and troubles follows. Shadow things and people will follow the trail where ever you go.

LUCY'S POWERS

Lucy had several different abilities that were seen or known to the family and Dr.Pearl. Telekinesis was the main back bone of her natural skills. She could teleport small items through walls and land them in front of her. She use it to fight and kill her enemies. Flight was the second most used skill. She would use this to travel from place to place without anybody noticing. She couldn't drive or have someone drive her to locations quickly when called on. Some of the family witness her in action.

BATTLE IN THE GRAVEYARD!

It was the middle of the night that Lucy was marching around in the house. She was very angry and then left. Before she left, she told someone she leaving. She said that she was going to the graveyard and not to follow. My uncle, my mother and couple of my aunts waited several hours and followed her anyway. My uncle had the only vehicle and drove to the cemetery which was several miles away. They parked the truck and crawled through the cemetery. Sounds of women yelling was echoing through it. The gang followed the source of the noise. There were two groups of women. One which was Lucy and a local wiccan verses a large group of women in black. Great grandmother and the leader of the women in black were yelling in foreign tongues. Suddenly, the woman in black coughed up a long fork tongue and started to chanted a possible spell. Lucy quick raised her hand and gestured a breaking motion. The woman's neck broke and fell dead. Someone in the gang made a sound and Lucy turned and looked at them. They all got up and ran to the truck and speed off. The pedal was hitting the floor. They were almost home when they saw blue lightning type flash and boom pass them. “What the hell was that?” crossed their minds. They made it home to find Lucy was waiting for them. She scowled them for following her to the confrontation. They never did that again. No one knows how many battles she had with other witches and such. It was widely known that Lucy had many rare artifacts that were deeply desired by negative forces. They constantly tried to obtain them when an opportunity appeared.

THE GIANT BIRD

It was a time when great grandmother was very ill and could not travel. So, her grandchildren drove her are around. One day on such a trip they encountered an attack on them. It was in broad daylight, when some one noticed a huge bird in the distance. That was one big vulture they though until they got real close. Suddenly, it spreads its wings and they were bigger than width of the road and the body was tall as a man. It appeared that they ran into a “Thunder Bird” but, it wasn't. This bird was wearing jewelry. They stopped the car and cars on the other side of the bird stopped as well. It approached their car and started to talk in Spanish. “ Where are the books?”and “ Give me the books!” were heard coming from its' beak. People who were coming to see why the traffic was being held up saw and heard the bird fled in fear, even the local police. This distraction gave one of my aunts time to grab one of great grandmother's mystery bottles and threw it at the bird. It splashed on the bird's face and it started to smoke. The bird started to scream and flew away.

THE PUPPETMASTER?

Before the time that Lucy's health took a turn for the worst, she had many contacts in scientific and medical communities through Dr “Pearl” and his employers. Representatives from several pharmaceutical companies were seen entering the home. What was discussed and/or trade was never known. There were many accounts of Lucy healing people with affections that baffled the local doctors. Yet, she dealt with Dr Pearl in his eugenetic experiments that kill dozens, if not hundreds, of women and children. And what research that Pearl had vanished after his murder. Lucy kept quiet about her dealings with him. She once stated “Everyone who is alive today and tomorrow owes me their lives.”Was she a benefit to the human race or her test subjects. We may never know how much she has influence the world.

THE HILL

This is the place where most of our relatives go when they die. It's a place similar to purgatory to the family. Some of the living relatives get a glimpse of it when one of them dies. The living relative must be a sleep at the moment of death. My mother saw it when her father died. She woke in a field near to the hill. She saw her father as a young man and he began to talk to her. Moments later, a young girl with pigtails appeared and dragged him away toward the hill. My mother tried to follow but, her father said “It's not your time.” With every step, she felt heavier. Before she woke up in her bed, she saw many dead relatives sitting by a large house. She later found out that the girl was an aunt who died a week before her father did. She was known to have her hair in pigtails when she was young.

WEREWOLVES IN FLORIDA

Around 1991, my mother, one of my cousin and me were coming back from a school concert. At the time, we lived in rural part of the county. We were three miles from our home when my mother hit the brakes real hard. I was in the back sit sleeping and my cousin was sleeping in front passenger. I heard a hard thump and then mom hit the gas all. I asked what happen. She screamed out "I just hit a werewolf!" My cousin's eyes were wide opened and she wouldn't talk at all. My mother told me more details when we got home. Before she hit it. She noticed a car on the side of the road up ahead. When she came up to it, the creature jumped right in front of our car. She was going about 45 when she hit the brakes. It landed on the hood of the car. Its' face landed on the windshield. It had black fur and red eyes. The long mouth open to reveal large set of teeth and a tongue. Definitely not a guy in a suit. It pushed itself of the car leaving claw marks. My mother told me that the last time there was one in the area was over twenty years ago.
I believe it was in 2001, I worked maintenance between 10pm and 4 am. For about a week I heard weird sounds coming from back of the building which has thick brush. Not the typical animal sounds. One night I heard a loud crash coming from the side entrance. I investigated to find a large garbage can was thrown on top of the roof and rolled off. I was thinking "kids" until I got a strong whiff of something nasty. It wasn't the trash. Then I was thinking " skunk ape". I quickly picked up all the trash and went back into the building. The next night I was traveling between the two buildings when the thick bushes started shaking. I heard an animal make a horrible sound, like it was being choked. I ran into the lighted parking lot and turned around. I saw a large humanoid shape appear out of the brush and it went back in. A couple nights later, my mother was waiting to pick me up when she saw a large shape came in under a light by a side entrance. It suddenly notice her and went back into the shadows. A week pass without incident. Again my mother was waiting to pick me up when she heard couple of dogs barking close by. She turned to see a large hooded man walking behind the car. He was across the parking lot on the side of the road. The dogs belonged to couple of real trailer trash folks nearby. These dogs travel in of a pack of 4-5 and weight between 60- 90 lbs. They were running around the man barking and snapping at him. One of the large dogs got hold of his arm. Then my mother saw the man's face and it ain't no man under that hood. A head of a black wolf was under that hood. The unearthly being shook and then throw that dog like a doll. The rest of the dogs ran for their lives. The hooded creature walked into the nearby woods. The next night was a full moon and I heard its unearthly howl. We never heard and saw it again. Now a housing project occupies the land where it once lived.

“THE UNCLE"”

My uncle was the first born and only male sibling in my mother's side of the family. When he was born, he had an over sized head. Everybody in the room became aware that he was very different in more ways than one. He lived a very hard life while growing up. It consistently was helping his father support the large family of 8 little sisters and an very ill mother. When not working 80-100 hrs a week, he was slowly mastering his abilities, probably under the watchful eye of Lucy. The ability of foresight was the main talent of the two he had. It was extremely accurate. He was in the upper 90% range.
When the Vietnam War started, he knew the U.S. would pull out out of failure. All his friends at the time went to that foreign land. He beg them not to go because he knew none would return. He was right, they never came back.
Rumors of his talent reached the ears of the wealthy and power hungry. They pester him to help them expand their influence in the world. He refuse their offers, he wanted no part in causing pain and death. But he told his sisters little details he seen of their futures. There was a vision he never reveled much details about, the end of the world. He said that he and most of his sisters would be dead when it happens. He believed that if he didn't revel the details, those responsible would not act it out.
The ability of remote viewing was he's second talent. There was no place he could seen into. He did show his ability to the family and close friends. My mother got a demonstration of how it works for him. One day, he sat her down and held her hand. He told her to hold on tight. She didn't understand until she felt a strong tug on her body. A floating sensation came over her body. My uncle was still holding her hand and told her “lets go”. Suddenly, both were traveling through an outer space like realm at a very high speed. She seen stars all around her and My uncle was still holding her hand. Suddenly, she felt cold and losing her breath. She began to panic and Frank seen it as well. Then, she found herself back in her body unharmed. Later that day, Great grandmother came to her and told her that Frank was the only one that could fully use that ability. If she tried it without him, you will die! Only he has truly master it correctly.
My uncle’s talents were very useful. He used them to hide many of Lucy's artifacts from her enemies. Even the military gave him presents. A representative came and took him to a underground base. There he was told that if the bombs start dropping, come here with much of the family you can save. It will be your job to rebuild the world. The base was filled with farm equipment, seeds, grains, water and other important necessities for survival. My uncle was a farmer. The base walls were made of a green bricks and told it would repel radioactivity.
My uncle died in 96, but he is around. On several occasions he has appeared. When my grandfather was dying he appeared before him days prier. After my grandfather's death, My uncle appeared in the hospital and signed the papers. Nobody notice him at all. Later, the staff thought maybe my grandfather signed them. There is a little problem, he couldn't read or write. It appears that my uncle still watches the family from the “Hill”.

UFO SIGHTING NEAR HILLSBOROUGH AVE

Not to far from the Geddes house is Hillsborough Ave. Years ago, my friend was visiting his sister who lived by there. She had a dog which always needed to be walked. So one night while he was walking the dog, he noticed a large blinking red light in the distance. He didn't noticed before and asked his sister when he got home. “When did they but that new tower out there?” She told him that it was her UFO that hangs around there. The next time he walk the dog on that road at night, he sister went along. They noticed that the blinking wasn't there. Now, this dog is one of those who drags the walker around. But this time, the dog stopped and sat down. He slowly turned his head and looked behind him. So, the two siblings turn as well and saw the blinking light rise into the sky in the distance. There was no noise coming from it. My friend had a pair of high power binoculars at the house he called the telescope. He told his sister that he was going to get them and turned around. When he did, the object took off with flash leaving a beam of light behind it. The rest of the night, he kept seeing the image of the light beam in his eyes. Another strange thing is that his sister sometimes clearly remembers the event and sometimes she can't. As her memory was interfered with.

A UFO CRASHES IN NAPLES,FLORIDA

My mother and her family were working in Naples in the late 50's. One day workers saw something crash nearby. A plane? All the workers ran to the site to search for survivors. The aircraft was sticking out of the sea near the beach. When the rescue got there, they realize it wasn't a plane. But some type of spacecraft. The "ship" had no doors or windows that could be seen. Beside the ship was one of the pilots. The pilot was still in it's bizarre space suit. It was tall and very skinny. But had a very large helmet. The helmet didn't have a window but a robotic looking faceplate. Two of the workers picked it up and said it weigh almost nothing. It appeared to be dead. Others found a second suit. The suit was empty. It was laying in the nearby grass. Still others tried to get into the ship to look for anymore survivors. Then suddenly,army helicopter appeared. The army came in great numbers to secure the location. Troops surrounded the workers' camp and force them to stay. They were there for two days afterward. The military told the workers that no one would believe them if they told what transpired. "Who would believe hobos, drunks, and uneducated mexicans." The foreman told the workers to do what the military said and no one would get hurt.While trapped there, my mother observe the whole situation. On one of the two days trapped there, she met an unusual person. While sitting waiting for the occupation to be over, a person wearing a large blanket approached her from behind. In a bizarre mechanical voice, the strange individual asked her ”Are they looking for me?” She turned to see a mechanical face under the blanket. There what appeared to be lips moving but there was a delay of sound coming from them. She realize it was not human and told it “Yes!” She told him to keep away from the military and look for a chance to escape. There is a happy ending to this story. When the army was still there cleaning up, the hobos found the surviving crew member. They put a hooded coat on him and other clothes to totally cover it up. They pour booze over it to make it smell like a drunk and help it with it's trouble walking. When the bus came to pick up a batch of workers, the workers carried it onto the bus. It suddenly spoke with it's mechanical voice, "Are they still looking for me?" They told him to shut up and get on the bus. The family left the next day. Those who took the alien were never seen again.

THOU SHALL NOT BEHOLD THE STARS

When my mother was going to college in Colorado, she had a strange event happen. I don't know which of the colleges she went to. It began when her class went to a nearby public telescope observational station. Aunt Betsy also tagged along as well. They were so excited to see the stars and planets in the night sky. The operator help the students view the night sky. When it was my mother's turn, she approached the telescope. The telescope moved away from her! It was reset and it moved away from her again. So, she went back of the line and waited. When it was Betsy's turn, it did the very same thing to her as well. Everybody was bewildered about the whole situation. The operator joked that “Someone or something didn't want them to see outer space.

THOSE PESKY GHOSTS

My wallet disappeared on a Thursday night/ Friday morning. It was on a high shelf were my son couldn't get it. Me and my girlfriend searched the entire house, especially the living room like 5 times. I had to report to the police about my lost driver license and cancel my credit cards. Well, on Saturday night around 10:30 I went to take a shower and my girlfriend went to put the baby to bed. I came out and noticed the front door was opened. The door was locked with a dead bolt and chain. I thought she threw out some trash and left it opened. I asked her if she left it open. She told me that she didn't leave the bedroom. Around 12:35 a.m., she was eating ice cream and glanced over by the rocker. She saw something that shouldn't be there. It was my wallet sitting under the rocker. Nothing was missing from in it. The rocker had been moved around several times before. It's metal with a cushion and no covering fabric. I guessed that someone or something opened my locked door and returned my wallet. It happens a lot with other items around the home.

THE WEEPER

In 2002, my mother woke up in the middle of the night and saw a misty white cloaked figure at the foot of her bed. Then it moved toward the side of the bed. She reached out to touch it to see if it was real. Its' face was cover but she felt though the hood. The face felt bony and cold, much like a skeleton. It was moving it's jaw as if to tell her something. Then just as quickly as it had appeared it vanished. When I researched it online the closest thing I could find was something called the Weeper. There wasn't much info on apparition . It was not a night terror and she wasn't paralyzed or frightened by it. Days later, we found out that my father disappeared in the Ecuadorian jungle never to be heard from again.
He went with his boss to help run a flower plantation. He was promised a high paying job. Then his boss left due to threats from rival companies. So he let my father run the company. Whites are easy target down there, my father is hispanic and can blend in. One day his employer told us that the company down there closed and my father decided to stay there. My aunt has a boyfriend in a large law firm and they snooped around. They discover something extremely dangerous and told us our lives will be in danger if we went to look for him! They never told us what they found out, they appeared very frighten. So. The Weeper's message was of my father's demise.

THE SIREN TREE

This encounter happen a good 30+ years ago. It was in a state where deforestation or mining was occurring. My mother believes it was somewhere in Michigan. The family stopped at a gas station to get food and gas. One of them noticed a very strange tree behind the station. My grandfather asked the owner, "What kind of tree is it ?" The owner didn't reply but instead got a dead chicken . He threw the yard bird at it and the trunk open up to reveal a very large mouth in the center. It was filled with sharp teeth like thorns. Then the owner said'" It's a meat eating tree!" He told my grandpa that he found it where the vast numbers of trees where pulled from the ground. It was the only thing growing in the area. He pulled it and planted behind the station. It was small at first. Then it suddenly grew pretty fast. One day, he found out why it was growing so fast. He told the family to get so chairs and watch the tree. They watched and watched and suddenly it opened it's mouth. Chirping sounds started coming from within it and several birds landed inside its mouth. It snapped shut and chewed the helpless birds. My grandfather told the owner that the tree could kill somebody! But the owner told him that’s why he has a fence and warnings around it. They all left and return days later. They found the owner upset and told them what happen. One morning, he found his dog missing. The dog was on the opposite side of the station, away from the tree. His chain was pulled into the earth but, no sign of the dog in the ground. He concluded that the tree used its' roots to seek and catch the dog while it sleep. It also appears that the tree is learning new vocal sounds to catch new prey. The owner said two scientist were coming to take some samples of it. But he didn't know if he could wait that long. If the tree starts to make human like sounds, he would destroy it before it could eat anybody. The family left before the fate of the tree was known.

THE ROAR

My friend use to go hunting with two friends with a sickening habit. On the way to their favorite hunting grounds, they would hit any animal that was on the road and bag it. When they arrive to their”spot”, they would put the fresh kill in front of a evil looking mangled tree. Then they burn the animal corpse. It was referred as the “Tree of Death”.To my friend, it look like a blood ritual. He joked to them that he would tell their parents that they were devil worshipers. After the “ritual”, they would go hunting in the nearby woods. They had a bad habit of shooting anything the made a sound in the bushes. But, one occasion they heard a unfamiliar terrifying roar at 1a.m. It happen when they entered the woods that was so familiar to them. They all heard a roar of an unknown animal echo through out the woods. It wasn't no bear! It sounded like a lion near the “Tree of Death”. They didn't wait for it to come out in the open. The hunters jumped in their car and fled. They didn't even fire randomly as they usually do.

THE POSSESSED CAR

My grandfather got hold of a car for real cheap and fixed it up. It was from the late 20's. Strange things start happening when it was restored. When you got into it, a strange sense of danger over came you. My mother and my aunts got their hair nearly pulled off while in it! Days later, my grandfather felt a pair hands grab his neck and started to strangle him. He barely made it out of car with his life. Soon, the car started to turn itself on and off by its self. Then, everybody started to see several pairs of red eyes in the car at night. The eyes stared back at the onlookers. The noise it caused was reported to the local police. The police knew about the car being haunted and it's history. They told my grandfather the car once belong to mobsters. The mobster were all killed in the very same car. Grandfather and the local police decided the car was to dangerous to be around. My grandfather and the police set the car on fire and bulldoze it. A hole was dug up. The car was thrown in and covered over with earth.

THE 40 YEAR NIGHTMARE

When my mother was eight years old, she began to have the same disturbing dream. This happened to her nearly every night till her death. In this dream, she is around sixty and I'm in my late thirties she thinks. My friends are with me and my father is alive still. We are standing on that haunted property, I lived nearly sixteen years on it, with the owner. Remember, she is only eight and knows her future husband, me, my friends, and the owners names and faces. She looks up and sees what looks like an extra smaller sun in the sky. The story of this extra sun is that it is not a sun, but a giant UFO. At first, it was believed to be a rouge planetoid, that was traveling through our solar system until it turned 90 degrees. It increased its' speed and produced an eerie light. Now, the world is getting worried about it and the U.N. is deciding a course of action. Couple of days later, it has nearly reached Earth. It's twice the size of the moon but it not producing gravity waves, no mass. The world is getting ready for the worst case scenario, a possible invasion. When it reaches the Earth, it takes an extremely close orbit. Its' eerie light shining over the world, causing night less days. People try to communicate with it, but only hear silence. The world launches an all out attack against it with everything they have. The preemptive strike fails and now it fire beams of light onto the world. It doesn't aim for cities or land ,but our oceans. The large beams of energy start to slowly boil them away. This goes on for days until the oceans are gone and then the beams stop. The world is now a desert and billions are dead. My mother then begins to stares at it. She is trying to remote viewing or astral travel. Her oldest sibling, Frank, was a master of both and he tried to teach her how to do it. But in the dream, she is able to do it and her mission is to find its weakness. She feels a rush of flight towards it and penetrates its light. Then, she sees a smooth featureless black sphere and travels towards it. She believed it was a spaceship until she went through its surface. Inside is thick clouds of blue-purple lightning . She feels a single intelligent mind. It is evil and believes it should be the only life in the Universe. For billions of years it has destroyed countless worlds. It becomes aware of her presence and tries to push her out. She fights its with all her might and she wakes up every time. Strangely, this entity appears in two movies I have seen. The living planet in the The Fifth Element and the ghostlike entity that destroy worlds in a Japanese anime called Harmageddon that came out 1982 or 84. Coincidences ?

THE LIZARD FROM BEYOND

This event happened several years ago at a country club I use to work at. It was around 9-10 o'clock at night. The kitchen was in a middle of dinner rush and I had a ton of dishes to wash. I had about twenty dishes in my hands and was about to stack them in the rack. I nearly dropped them on the floor due to what I saw. Beside the dish rack was a huge lizard. It stood on four legs and was nearly five feet high. Its' skin was shinning black with golden oval spots lining its body. It was looking at shelves in the back of the kitchen. Suddenly it turned, as if it felt that I saw it. We stared at each other for about 5 seconds. I blinked and it vanished. I never saw anything like that ever again.

THE LITTLE GIRL

My friend Jeff said that he's brother house has a ghost. He's brother, nephew, brothers' ex-wife and former mother in law saw a young girl with long blond hair wearing a white nightgown standing near the washing machine. His brother and nephew would go for a late night snack and sit in the kitchen table. The table faced the hallway which lead into the laundry room. The ghost would appear there when they were eating. On an another occasion, his brother had his back turned away from the washing machine and felt a cold hand on his shoulder. Jeff has never see the ghost but felt that he wasn't alone in home. Later, his brother and nephew came into the living room where Jeff was reading a book and began talking to him. Jeff began to smell garlic cooking and his eyes began to water. He started to have that weird feeling again. The other two suddenly smell a strong odor of cooking garlic in the air. They all asked each other if they were cooking anything and found out no one was. There was no garlic in the home. They all went to the kitchen and saw that nothing was on but, the smell was coming from somewhere else. They walked around the house following the trail which stopped at a wall in the living room and faded away.

THE LADY IN BLACK

My father was told a story about a mugger who try to mug the wrong person. It all started when bunch of thugs heard a odd story about a woman who would wear a black dress with a solid veil. She would ride the train nearly everyday at the same time. Her drop off would be near dust at the town she arrives in. Then, she would travel outside of town by foot in the dark. No one saw her get on or off the train in the morning. One of the members decided he would tail her and rob her. So he went about with his plan. A day or two passed and he never showed up. He's friends went to the town where the woman in black was dropped off. They search and couldn't locate their friend. More days passed. Someone coming into town reported he found a man crazed out of his mind in the wilderness. He was taken to a hospital. What they could understand from his mumblings is that he got of the train. He followed the lady in black outside of town. He choose the moment to prey upon her. He grabbed her. She didn't not make a sound. He lifted her veil and to his horror she was not human. She was a skeleton with a skull of a horse. The eye sockets glowed flaming red eyes. He ran for his life. The lady in black never return to those two towns again.

THE HOUSE AND THE LADY IN WHITE

When my mother was around 15 yrs old, my grandfather found a job on a farm. The owner let him and his family live in the very large house on the property. The house was old, but well kept. There was no real unusual activity until couple of weeks later. It started when a man was seen running in the pasture while being chased by a bull. He was rescued and held until the police came. He was mumbling with near madness. He told them who he is and what happened to him.
Days earlier, he had entered the property and into the house. While searching the house he found several trap doors. He entered one of them and found a dark world. While traveling the dark tunnels, he found peep holes, old money and dead bodies of women. The women were dead for decades, they were dressed in beautiful dresses. He had to crawl over their remains to continue the exploration of the home. Some forced possessed him to sleep and eat in these tunnel for days. One day, he found a passage that lead away from the house. It lead in the cow pasture where the bull was grazing. The owner of the home broke open the walls and removed the bodies of the women , old gambling tables and other items. He believed his grandfather was doing illegal activities in the 20's. And when the business ran dry, he closed it down and killed all the women of his brothel.
On the final night of their stay, my grandfather woke up and a lady in white was standing beside his bed. She motion him to follow her and floated away. She lead him outside to the field and pointed to the ground . Suddenly, she vanished and he grabbed a shovel and began to dig. He found a small box with a large stash of money (coins). It lasted nearly a month for the large family of 11. It was not the end of the ghostly lady in white. She has followed the family till this day. She has been sighted standing by the cribs of the family's newborns.

THE HIDDEN ROOM

A friend mine told me a ghost story. When he was in high school, his best friend told him about a weird event. When he was a kid, his family lived a house in New Hampshire that was dated around 1750's. There was a wall the started to bulge out. So, his father knock down the wall to rebuild it. Instead, he found a hidden room with a desk, a chair and mirror. He sold the items but before he did he took pictures. When the pictures came out, there was an image of someone with their hands up and looking into the lens of the camera. You could see the chair and desk through it. The mirror was facing the opposite wall and was not in picture. So, it couldn't been a reflection.

THE HAUNTED LAND I LIVED ON FOR 16 YEARS.

For nearly 16 yrs, I lived on property that was and probably still very haunted. My father became caretaker of his employer's land. He bought a trailer that was placed on the land. Years, before I was born, my father was in charge of clearing his boss's vast property. While doing so , he found human remains. They were old. It turn out to be graves of Native Americans. He's employer told him dumped them in made man pond on the property. Ever since that day, all kinds of paranormal activity appeared. Hordes of ghosts , a powerful shaman spirit who tries to buy your soul, unidentified bipeds , a living cloud of fog , a large unknown flying creature , a mutant cat with human hands and a giant snake (it appears to be an anaconda). The local dog man/ werewolf ( who lives not to far away) stays clear of this area.
Lets start with the giant anaconda. It fed on stray dogs and alligators. It liked to travel the flower fields that didn't have DDT sprayed on it. These fields is where it hunted and also where the women worked as well. One day my mother went on her lunch break . She sat on a nearby log and took out her lunch which included an apple. She place the apple next to her while getting out her sandwich. She turned back to get it and it was gone. Then she got up to look for it. Instead , she was face to face with this monster with her apple in it's month. It's head was bigger than her owns'. She yelled for help and ran. Lucky her supervisor was nearby and came to her aid. The snake fled into the pond region of the nproperty. It was sited several more times in the later months. The last it was seen is when my mother and her supervisor were driving the wooded area of the field and accidentally hit a log. It was no log! It was the snake and it started to jump in the air wildly. Then in fled into the brush and never was seen again. Probably die of its wound, the body was never found though.
The were sightings of native american ghosts in the woods and one of owners home (which was on the property). The ghosts in the house terrorized the house maid a lot. She didn't last to long there. One time, they rock a riding rocking horse and played the music without batteries. Another time my mother was babysitting the owner's children . She was watching TV with the kids , suddenly saw an native trying to enter the window. He got in. They saw each other, she told the kids to run to their rooms. He chased them down the hall, but disappeared all of suddenly. He must have realize who he was about to fight with ( mom is another story). On one Halloween night, they made their move with help from unidentified bipeds ( possible shadow people/creatures). Lucky that night , my cousins came over to visit. Me and my cousin Andrew went around the fields looking for snakes and visiting my father (works 18-20 hr days). We were going back home and I remembered that the owner is going to have a party for the kids at his house. We took the nearest short cut ( it goes though a swamp with a canopy). This all happening at night. We could see a bright light coming from the house though the little swamp. Just before the swamp a dark figure appeared before us about 40 ft away. It was about 5 ft high. Then it crouch down and charged at us. We ran after we shot several rounds at it ( pellet guns). After we got home, I told mom what happen. She wasn't surprised at all. Again, we went off to get to the party. Route two was just as dark (though the woods.) So, route three was the choice. This route went around the patch of woods. It was open and there was some moonlight to guide us. It was the longest one of the three. Halfway down the road there is a separate garage that contains race cars and their fuel. By the first tree near the garage we saw something large staring at us. It was about 9 ft tall. It looked almost transparent to us.. Again we ran back home. This time mom came with us. She drove us to the to the owners home. We came armed with real guns and big knives. The large black shape that was standing near the garage was gone. We finally made it to the party but no one was there. We suddenly saw the play ground was on fire . Me and Andrew stump out the fire and the water hose to finish of the hard ones. My mother ran into the house and call around to find the owner. He was at his father `s home with his kids. He made a little fire in a pit he dug to roast marsh mellows for later that night. She told him his playground was on fire but didn't tell him the rest. When she was returning to the yard she glimpsed the very tall thing by the sliding glass doors in the living room. About ten minutes past and the owner returned with his father. I guess the ghosts tried to stop us from putting out the fire. If left unchecked, the fire would burned down the garage and ignited the nitro that was stored there.. This would have cause a big explosion that would ignited the entire woods on fire a lot faster. This would have also catch the nearby fields on fire as well. My father was spraying flammable insecticide from his large tanker that night . Talk about a chain reaction. Lucky we stopped it in time.
The serpent shaman story took place when I was 4-5 yrs old. I remember the commotion this spirit caused. My mother filled in the rest. It all started when my aunt, Betsy , took a moonlight walk around the property. On a road near the man made pond, she saw a light glowing near it. She investigated the unknown glow and saw a strange site. The glow came from a large rattlesnake that was sitting there. She ran back to my house and gathered my mother, father and another aunt. She went to show them where it was, it was still there. My father grabbed it and tied it to a tree with a chain. The next morning he went to get it but it was gone. Instead, there were rusty coins in its` place. Nickels, dimes and quarters made up the snakes shape. So each night they hunted the glowing snake and found it. For about a week, money would appeared where it was chained up. The coins got newer in appearance. On the third day, dollar bills appeared . They were wet and moldy, but later days became crispy. All this money was placed in a large jar. They told no one about the daily happenings until one day my father told his friends. One of his friends( an old Puerto Rican) told him it was a trap. He said it was a spirit of a shaman who bought souls. Soon, he will come to collect. He told my father to get rid of the money soon as possible. Throw it back where it came, the nearest body of water. The next day my father didn't collect the daily money. That night they waited to see what happens. It was around midnight, when a knock on the front door was heard. Then it became a constant knocking . Aunt Betsy looked out the window and saw the glowing rattlesnake. It was knocking on the door with its own head. Of course, no one opened the door. My father got the jar and ran out the back door with it . He ran to the man made pond and threw the jar into it. When the jar entered the water a bright beam of light shot out of it. The snake disappeared as suddenly it appeared. It was a close one they thought. The old Puerto Rican who helped them died the next day. Someone had to pay the price.
One night, when I was around fifteen, I was watching TV around 1 a.m. and mom was getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly, we heard a knocking at the back door. So, I thought my father forgot his keys somewhere and wanted in. Like an idiot, I opened the door to a surprising sight. Before me was a cloud of fog so thick it look like milk. I stuck my hand in it and cut it with it. The cloud was almost felt like a liquid. My mother told me to close the door quickly and I did. I went to the front door and look outside. It was clear as night and there was a full moon. I went outside and saw the cloud was only in the backyard. It was only the length of the trailer and about 10 ft high. I went back in and lock all the doors. Then the cloud slowly went into the woods nearby. In the morning we told my father want happened. He yelled at us . He almost never gets mad. In his life, he yelled at me twice, this was one of them. We were told never to open the door at night, especially if you can't see what's out there. Later, when I was at school he told my mother about the cloud. It was a common visitor in the fields at night. He had seen a humanoid like shapes walking around in it. He always said that he is was protected from most things due to him being on his high tanker. A chemical hazard suit and a 1000 gallon tank of pesticide were his best friends. He had seen many strange things that lurked in those fields when the sun went down.
One night, a gray tabby appeared at my door. She appeared normal for except her front paws. They were very long and very human like. She had trouble walking with them. But these paws were excellent for subduing and strangling her prey. When she had her first litter, they were born with six toed, she would sit and breast fed like a human female would. She trained her children to hunt in a pride, like lions. She took down all kinds of prey, even very large prey like raccoons and armadillos. I guess they like raw meat with their cat food. When we were forced to leave the property, we had to leave them behind. The pride would hunt for days before they returned home, we couldn't wait that long. Maybe her and her descendants are still wondering those woods still mutating.
In the finally weeks of moving, the landowner discovered a that a lamp post on the telephone pole had been out for nearly twenty years. The last time it was on, a mysterious arrow came out of nowhere and broke it. Then the arrow vanished into thin air. So, a new bulb was put in. It was hard to sleep with that extra light shining through your window for a while. One night ,I woke up into complete darkness. I guessed the ghosts got the light again. So, when I was going to the bathroom I noticed the post light's light in the living room. I woke up mom and we went to my bedroom to show her what was going on. Then, we heard a noise outside and now noticed the light coming into the living room was almost gone. The shape it took was of wings. We heard crunching sounds coming from outside. Then we heard it walk away and my bedroom light came in again. In the morning we went outside and look at my napoleon lemon tree. The center of this 15+ foot tree was broken and many of the huge lemons in the center were gone. There were none on the ground as well. It might be a giant fruit bat we guess. Two days later we moved.
In 2004, Hurricane Charley devastated the region. Our former home was destroyed and the landowner's business and property took heavy damage and it is closed. Now the Burnt Store Road area of Southwest FL is now under heavy development for hundreds of condos and prestige homes. Many of the mysteries will go unknown or unsolved. Yet, it might as well spout new sightings. Someone might dig up something they shouldn't have.

THE GHOST CAT

It all started back in 97, when I rented a house for me and my mother. We started to see this very large black cat in the house. It would suddenly appear at any time. Day or night. It would appear around corners and just vanish. When I am going to work or to the store, I would see it looking through my bedroom window. The strangest thing that it would look white to some people or black to others. My cats would keep away from it when it would appear or try to fight with it. It has followed us from three different houses. Occasionally, it loves to play pranks on us. It likes to go in my mother's closet and shake the door. Mom would yell " Terry there is a cat stuck in the closet, get it out!". And yet all the cats are standing right next to me. And so I go into her room and look at the bottom of the closet and seen that black paw sticking out from under it. Then it will pulls it's paw back into the closet. When I opened the door real quick, it was gone. Sometimes, when anyone would come into the house it would rush at the front door like it was trying get out. It would vanish midair. I would react, thinking it's one of my cats. And I try to catch it. It did the very samething to my girlfriend couple of times. In the bedroom, it would jumps on the edge of son's crib and just stare at him at all night. If you suddenly move toward it, the cat disappears. One time I was alone in the room. I felt something wrapping around my leg. I thought it was a snake. I looked down real fast and saw a very long black tail wrapped around my leg. The tail was wrapped around three times! And suddenly it uncoiled and disappeared. I swear it laughed at me. I nearly had a heart attack.

THE GEDDES HOUSE

The encounters that take place in this house occur between15-25 years ago. The house is or was located on Geddes Ave. It was an abandon unfinished home. It was a site for the use off dark worship. There have been dozens of tales of frightening happenings in the house. Here are some of the stories.

LOOKING FOR A PARTY IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
When my friend was in the high school football team, a fellow player told him a crazy story. He was a party seeker and look for them constantly. While searching one night, he found himself on Geddes Ave. He drove down it and saw couple of cars parked on an empty lot. He saw a light not to far away and went to investigate. So, he turned off his lights and drove up to the light. It was coming from the unfinished home. He got out and approached the eerie light house. Inside, he saw people dressed in black hooded robes standing around a head of an animal on an alter. He freaked out and yell at them! They turn and stared at him. Suddenly, out of the darkness came a hooded man with a machete and approached him. He ran to his car and speed off.

LASER TAG ANYONE?
After hearing the encounter, the house became a place for local kids to investigate. Some time passed and my friend and his pals decided to play laser tag in the home at night. There were four of them when they arrived at the house. It was two against two. The game began. While playing, it appeared that one of the guys was not wearing or turned off he's gear. He was hit several times but he's gear did not light up. Then, they had this strange feeling that they had an extra player in the game. Sometime passed and the pair couldn't find the others and began to search outside for them. My friend had his flashlight and beamed into the nearby trees. While searching, he found a large tree stump. He looked around it and when he lighted it again he saw strange little old man sitting on it. The old man turned to reveal it wasn't a man at all. It had black face with red glowing eyes ( might be yellow if light was not hitting them). The rest of the body was gray and about 4-5 tall. Its' hands were black and in its mouth. It looked like huge lemur monkey. It was playing with its' teeth. He turn to yell for the rest of his friends and momentary removed the light from the creature. He turned back and it was gone. So, the pair ran back to the car and found the the other two guys hiding on top of his car. They told them that they ran into the troll like creature in the house and ran to the car earlier.

AN EARLIER TIME
After telling his encounter, he recalled that he and his nephew played inside the home years earlier. They were young teenagers at the time. The house reputation wasn't well known yet. But time to time they had a strange feeling that some one or something was watching their every movement. The ghostly troll?

UPDATE!!!!!
Me and one of the actual witness went to the area to search. The house has vanished! We went through the all the wooded lots and found nothing but and empty space. Someone has moved the entire house without dropping a brick. I check both counties for records of the demolished or it permit. Funny thing I found was the house never had a permit or even been taxed. Couple of the lots are owned by out of town or the county. I smell cover up!

THE EAGLE

When my friend was the Coast Guard, he was on the training vessel called The Eagle. It was a war prize from WWII. Its' original name was the Horse in German. He heard stories of ghostly voices being heard by the crew. Several crew members would be woken up by shouting or loud talking by men in German. Other crew members heard voices through the bulk heads and they would search the source. When they got close enough the voices would stop.

THE DOLLS

This story comes from a friend of mine. It happened over thirty years ago. She wrote the story and I am rewriting here. She wrote” When I was a teenager, I did things I am not proud of. Friends of mine and myself went to this old little house with an upstairs attic. We broke in and stole everything. In the attic was some weird looking dolls. Well we took them also. On our way out and putting our loot in the van, we got a weird feeling. It was like a fear. A sudden fear of the dolls! So, we threw them on the ground. Right at the back door of the van. We left and later returned to this house to retrieve the last of the loot that couldn't fit in the last load.. The house was in Exeter, R.I. and on a long dirt/ gravel road. We thought nothing when we arrived and began to load the van. When we were done, we took one last stroll to see if we had missed something we might want. I'm not sure who it was that went up the stairs to the attic but, we all ended up there . Because the dolls we so feared were there staring at us .They were back in their spots. They were all dirty and hair out of place. It appeared that they crawled back to where they rested. All these years, I still remember my encountered with them.

THE DESERT WARLOCK

This unique individual is a mystery to the family. He is a distant relative from my grandfather side of the family. He was almost as powerful as great grand mother Lucy. The two couldn't stand each other and avoid their each others presence like the plague. He had an unique trait, he had yellow eyes and large vertical slits like a snake or cat. He has another trait that is only shared by my mother, a large birthmark on the index finger. My mother was he's favorite relative
He said that he sees the world in odd shapes and colors. The dark night gave him no troubles but daylight is extremely painful. He is always seen wearing large sunglasses. He made his home deep in the Texas/ Mexico desert. The last know sighting was decades ago. But there was a possible sighting of him recently. In 2006, my grandfather died. While the funeral was going on, a few relatives thought they saw him at a distance. If it was him, that means he must be over 110 years old!

“ALPIRIA”

THE BARRIER

I have mention this strange ability in a couple of stories before. The barrier is invisible and reacts automatically to negative forces. The range of it is about twenty feet in diameter.. She had no real control over it at all. It had gotten her out of couple of bad situations and alerted her of possible dangers. It also reveals the unseen for several seconds and pushes them back or blocks their movements. Yet, uncle Frank and the Weeper could walk right through it when no problem. Below are stories of encounters of the negative type.

LET ME IN!
This event happen about 10+ years ago. My mother at the time was cleaning the neighbors' home for some extra cash. She did it once or twice a week for a couple in their 60's. The couple worked most of the daytime. They were home mostly in the evenings and their days off. The wife developed cancer and her health was fading. By then, we were moving out and my mother agreed to clean her house for the last time. During the cleaning of the home, my mother heard a knocking at the front door. She went to investigate and saw it was the lady of the house. So, my mother opened the door and the woman asked her “Let me in”. “Uh?” my mom thought to herself. The woman kept asking her “Let me in!” constantly with this look of distress. My mother told her “This is your house, come in yourself.” The woman kept it up and mom just stared at her through the doorway. Suddenly, the woman vanished before her. Then hours later, the real woman can home. Mother didn't tell her what happen and we left the area the following week. A year later, we came back a visit the other neighbors. They told us what that the woman finally died recently. When she was first diagnosed with cancer, she was told it would kill her in a couple of weeks. Her health was failing until my mother's had the encounter with the “double”. The woman's health regained and she lived more than six months after her grim discovery.

ENCOUNTERS AT THE GAS STATION
For years, my mother had a habit of stopping at gas stations and getting super sized fountain of diet coke. One time after she dropped me at work, she stopped at the favorite gas station. She had been there dozens of time before. She was getting her soda as usual when this huge shove hit her almost knocking her off her feet. After regaining her balance, she turned to look for who did it. There was only two people in the station with her, a man and the cashier. The individuals were far way and the man had just walked in when she turned. The man picked up some items and walked to the counter. My mother got her drink and walked toward the counter. Suddenly, she felt a foul vibe. The man suddenly turned and yelled at her “Who are you?” He turned and ran out of the store leaving his paid items behind. Weeks later, she was getting her diet coke again. Suddenly she felt the same feeling of being shoved but blocked it. She turned and saw a different man enter the station. He also picked up some items and went to the cashier. She approached him and he turned with this look of fear. Then, he yelled at her “Who the hell are you lady?” and threw the stuff at the cashier and ran. Now, the cashier was very disturbed and said “The place was filled with bad karma!” and began to blessed the store. Later that night, she went to bed and dream that a black hooded man approached her and told her “ If you stay out of our business, we will stay out of yours.” She woke up in a cold sweat.

THE TAINTED CHURCH
The last church my mother went to was in Florida and was over 35 years ago. It was the closes one to her home back then. It was going good until the priest/ father started to be hypocritical and making her very upset. The last time she went, something strange happened. When she was walking toward the entrance of the church, she felt that she walked into a giant hand. It grabbed her entire body. It immobilized her and prevented her from entering. She tried and tried but could not get in. So, she gave up and saw this as an omen. Weeks later, the priest was arrested for molesting a child and the church burned down.


My mother last days was of watching t.v. and sleeping all day long. The dozen strokes and an aneurysm have taken a heavy toll on her mind and body. Her barrier was weaken a little as well. And yet it can still pick up intruders. When she came back from a nursing home after a month and half stay, she informed me that someone was in my room. The rest of the family was out at the time. So, I looked real quick and saw nothing. I then turned and told her “There is no one there!” Just then, I felt cold, long and pointing pair of hands placed themselves on my shoulders. They came from behind me! They suddenly disappeared. A friendly reminder that “they”are still here.

THE BABY

This comes from a friend's father. When he was a kid, he would play in the nearby woods. One day, he heard a distant cry of a baby. He went on a search for the lost child. This lead him into the deep parts of the woods. There, he found the remains of burned down house. Inside was a burned bassinet in view. The cries suddenly stop when he came near it. When he turned to leave, the cries began all over again. When he turned toward the house, the cries would stopped. Yet, it started up again when he finally left.

THE SPACE ARK OF THE ILLUMINATI

Another of Betsy's friend told her a bizarre story. She was also a nurse and was tapped to help with a secret project. She was taken to a secret location in the Rocky mountains. There, she was lead into a base that was deep underground. Inside there laid a huge spaceship like vessel. She was escorted inside it. Instead of aliens, she saw dozens if not a hundred of people inside transparent containers. They appeared to be in a type of suspended animation. At closer inspection, the people were still aging at an extremely slow rate. The “sleepers” need constant maintaining. When one dies, another replaces him/her. The containers they slept in were from alien origins. Human equipment were made for adaptation. It was revealed that vessel was like a Noah's Ark. It was retrofitted for an extreme emergency of a planetary scale. The “sleepers” are the elite, the brightest and those deem important enough to be placed there. They are to rebuild the world when the current civilization ends. But if the planet could not rebuilt, they will travel the universe for a new home.

THE APPLE

Yet again, my mother and aunt Betsy caused trouble at the collage again. The duo went to a high tech lab with a class on another field trip. They wondered away from the class and explored the facility. Their snooping around lead them in a room filled with computers. There was another room attachment to that one with large machinery and an apple on the table. The computers in front of them was on and they investigated. Some had equations and others had operating sequences for the machinery. The duo inspected the programs and got this feeling that they were wrong and adjusted them. Suddenly, the machinery started to come on and began a countdown. The room adjacent flashed a bright light and the apple on the table was gone. They quickly try to set back what they did and made more of a mess. The researchers came in to inspect the damage. What they found got them bewilder and confused with amazement. Some how the girls did something impossible. The researchers greatly question the duo about the steps they did. The girls couldn't remember how they did it. A short time later, the apple was found in a different room in the facility. It was decomposing.

THE TEXAS WEREWOLF

My mother told me that there is a distance cousin who is “cursed”. This curse is that he turns into a werewolf. There are stories of encounters with werewolves in Texas. It could be him or his children and /or grandchildren that that are sighted in and around Texas. If he is alive still, he would be in he's in 70's. He's believed to be a native american.
He used to live in an Indian town with his grandparents in Texas. The town knew his cursed. Rumor has it that his parents were cursed by God for a wrong that was committed. The transformation started when he was just a toddler learning to walk. He never went to school . The transformation was random and at night only. So, he was tied up every night. Rope and chains were his nightly ware. But occasionally, he would escape. The local police and town posse always hunted him down and took him home. He wasn't dangerous and easily caught. For years this was the routine. When he became a teenager, this routine became useless. He was becoming really strong. and it took more people to catch him. They couldn't take him home so easily. So, the town folk started to tie him to trees and wait till dawn to let him go. Now everybody of the town and his own relatives started to fear him .They decided to kill him after his grandparents die (they were only ones in the way). They failed many times and he escape the town. Last anybody knew, he was wondering the back roads of Texas and nearby states. My aunt Betsy tracked him down though the Texas desert (like the good Indian she was) and heard he's story. She kept he's hiding place a secret and never told anybody where it was. She's been died nearly two decades. As of 2007 he still being hunted by he's family. They believe he's death would restore their family honor.
My mother actually saw him when he was a young teenager. He was tied up inside a barn. She said his coat was light. He's eyes weren’t wild but look human and calm. They look blueish to her.

THE ANCIENT ENEMY THAT DWELLS BENETH THE WORLD

My great grandfather tried to teach my mother and her siblings the old ways of the Apache. One time, he told her of a secret war that lasted for countless generations. This war is against a race of underground dwellers that surfaces roughly every 40 yrs. It took shamans with powerful medicine and skin walkers' might to drive them away. These underground invaders are extremely hard to kill. The only description that she could translate was they are white skin (pale), have sharp claws and come out of the ground very hungry. The creatures send scouts up to see if it is safe to feed on humans and anything else they could find. If the scouts did not returned, they wouldn't send the larger group up to feed. But if the scouts returned that met that man has forgotten them.
My great grandfather fought them before. He was getting ready fight them again when he was telling her the story. He was over eighty at the time and told her that there are few left who knows the ancient enemy cycles. He said that one of their exit points is near Post, Texas. Where the ground is red. Does he mean red sediments? He said there are signs of there presence in the areas they hunt. You got to have the knowledge to recognize them. Later that day, a group of other natives Americans came to the house and he went with them. Weeks later, he came back and told her that they were successful. He worried “Who will help the next generation be ready for the arrival of the Ancient Enemy?” That was over forty years ago.
The movies Burrowers and The Descent reminded me of this story a little bit. I wonder how many other tribes in the world has this enemy in there legends. I have also heard similar description from military sources. I was telling this to my friend. Then he told me a story as well. His is ex-military and was recruited by a 33 degree Freemason to be in the military. When in the service, he made many connections. He met one of the crew that made the tunnels for the military. They used the nuclear tunnelers that turned the earth into glass. When making the glass tunnels, they would hit caves. There was enough molten glass to cover the cave openings. In some cases it saved their asses. The creatures would rush the thick glass windows. It was thick enough to hold them back. So, if you one of maintenance crews who takes care of the tunnels. One can see the creatures stare at you through the thick glass like in a zoo. This means that all their underground bases are under threat of being overrun by these pale creatures.

A NIGHT OF TERROR

It was in the early morning on a day in 1999. I suddenly woke up in my bedroom. I quickly looked around the room. Yet, I saw nothing. But I had this sicking feeling that there was something in the room with me. I went back to sleep. I don't know how much timed past when I woke up again. When I did, it was to my horror. I found myself being held down by a hideous creature. It had thin light blueish skin and large dark yellow eyes. It was holding down my wrists and ankles with it's own limbs. It had two sets of limbs with hands with long fingers at each end. It had no feet. I desperately tried to free myself. It power was overwhelming. Suddenly, it stuck it's very long red tongue down my throat. I remember the shear terror I had when it did that. I was gagging while it's saliva dripped over my face. Suddenly, my adrenaline kicked in and felt my strength return. Now, the tables have turned. I worked out a lot back then. I started to push back and it was loosing it's grip on me. The moment I was about to break free, it's eyes started to glow. I blacked out. I woke up to see the foul creature not on top of me. I got up and search the room but found nothing. I cleaned my face off. It's saliva was still on me. Gross!

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACER

My mother's family was there before the whole incident became known and famous . They worked in the town for awhile and became familiar with the town folk. Soon after, they were let in on the dark secret of the land. The locals told my grandfather about the infamous doings of a certain family. They also told not to worry, the family ate only outsiders like hippies and such. Grandfather told the family that not eat anything they offer And also no to go to their “BBQ cookouts”. My mother became friends with some the members and encounter the real leather face. He was badly deformed and also very shy. When the whole thing was exposed, leather face grabs a female relative and escaped arrest. Later, it was discovered that the police found a car that matched a relative of my grand uncle Ray. Ray stated that his cousin would never leave his favorite car. His cousin and family were coming to visit him and never arrived. They never was seen again.

A SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

A strange event happened on a Christmas Eve almost forty years ago. It was snowing in the little Texas town. My grandfather and the family stopped at a gas station on the way home. Grandfather was filling the truck up when a dirty homeless man approached him. He asked him for food and grandfather gave him what he had to spare. Grandfather went and finished filling the truck. Then, he noticed the man was gone leaving his large dirty sack behind. He opened the sack to find a surprise. It was filled with lots of little cheap toys. He went and question the gas attendant about the homeless man. The attendant told him that the only man he saw talking to grandfather was a man dressed in Santa outfit. He never seen him before either. When the family came back home, the kids went out and passed out toys to the other kids in the neighborhood.

THE DWELLER OF THE SAND DUNES.

This event happen about 30-35 years ago. It was in or around the Amarillo, Texas area. It all began when my grandfather got a job on a ranch. The owner told him he could live in a home nearby with his family of 12. It was two story home with an attic. The strangest thing was that the house was surrounded by sand dunes. No plant life was seen within several hundred feet of the house. No unusual happenings for couple of days until my aunt Betsy discovered something. It was a den of wolves and their pups. The next day she brought my grandfather to show him the den. But when they got there the wolves were all dead. The pups were missing. They were butchered by something with huge claws. This left them with a sense of dread.
The night after they discovered the wolves' remains, my grandfather had dream of a little angel telling him to take his family and leave now! It keep begging he to wake up and leave. He woke up and realized it was only a dream. Then realized he had to go to the toilet. This meant he had to go the outhouse, it was a little distance from the house. When he got there and sat in the outhouse, something caught his eye. On a nearby hill stood a human-like shape with red eyes staring at the house. The words of the little angel echoed in his mind. So when he was done, he slowly walked back to the house.
Earlier in that very night, my great grandmother had a terrible feeling and sent my granduncle, Ray, with his family to check up on his brother. Ray was almost to the house when the car ran out of water. He remembered there was a well nearby and went to get some water. He didn't get to far when the thing with red eyes came in front of him. He ran back to the car and told his family to run to his brother's house. He grab his shotgun and bowie knife so he could buy his family time to get away. Ray made sure the car was between him and creature. The creature charged him quickly. He shot the creature nearly pointblank range several times with no effect. He tried to stab it but almost got slashed by it's claws. Then, he ran fast as he could to the house. The creature followed but, suddenly stop short of the hill. By, then the entire family was awake and saw it on the hill staring at them. Grandfather told all the girls to get in the bed of the truck and covered them with lot of blankets and other stuff to make a barrier in case the creature jumped into the bed. The men were in the cab of the truck staring a the hulking being. They drove past it praying it didn't attack them. It's gaze was on the house. Suddenly it jumped off the hill and began to chase them. It stopped short of the line where the sand ended and grass began.
Grandfather went the owner and told him want happened. The next day they went back to pick their belongings and saw a site out a movie. The owner was there with his ranch hands, police and what appeared to be military looking people. They seemed they knew about it for awhile, the family was bait for it. A K-9 unit went in to investigate. The first floor was totally destroyed . The second floor was the same as well. The dogs got a scent of something and started to bark at the attic door. The officers opened the door and let the dogs up it. Everybody heard the dogs fighting with something. Suddenly the dogs were thrown out the attic window like rag dolls.. They were both skinned alive! The two officers inside went into attic to see what the hell it was. Everybody outside heard lots of gun fire and then saw one the officers being thrown out the window. He was dead before he hit the ground. When everybody looked back up toward the window, they saw the creature clear as day. It looked like a big bald blue skinned man with big red eyes and sharp claws. The high ranking military man ordered its' destruction. Everybody opened fire on it and the house. Two guys threw grenades into the attic and it exploded. The house was then set on fire! Grandfather and family left but later heard the only body found was that of the other officer. Footprints were found leading away from the house! Nothing of it was ever heard again to their knowledge.

HISTORY OF SHADOWS

I used to see them all the time when I was a teenager. They seemed to be running to some place we cannot see. I always saw them when I was not mentally busy with homework or chores. They would run near me for several seconds and vanished. I usually get good glimpses at brightest time in the day in a empty lot or field. I use to call them “The Runners”. These days they are called “ Shadow People”.

Years before me, one of my aunts saw them as well. But she got the worst case scenario. They saw her too and stayed around. It happened when she was trying to find secrets in the bible. She must have uncovered something or maybe she accidentally open her mind. They were only seen by her and nearly drove her insane. No one believed her for awhile until some of her sisters finally saw the thing themselves. As my mother describes, " A tall shadow that just stands there coldly staring at you with no face." She chased it away from the house. My aunt's mind hasn't healed all the way yet! She stills sees them nearby staring.

In May of 05, my girlfriend and I were coming from the local club. We parked in the driveway and talked for awhile when I felt a strange presence behind me, like a pulling sensation. She said "It's uncle Phil." But what really got my attention was the nearly two dozen shadow things hanging around the house. I guessed that her dead uncle came to protect us. The shadow beings were standing on the roof, sides of the house and on my mother's car. The lamp posts near us started to go dim. This has never happened to me before. But they suddenly retreated into their darkness and the lamp post regained their light. My mother was waiting in the living room for us to get in. She told us told what happen when we were gone. Hours after we left the home, they made their move. They made into the house. They tried to open my mothers door and were unsuccessful due to my mom's unnatural automatic defense. This defense is what I call the anti-ghost field. It pushes and /or blocks undead, positive and negative energies away from her. The stronger the energy, stronger it replies. This wasn't the first time they entered the home, but not in mass. A couple of nights later, we went to the club again. And again they came, but this time they were few in number. These few what I call the" Elite Shadows". They were semi-solid and traveled from a distance. They jumped from roof top to roof top. People heard thumping on their roofs and put their lights on to investigate the source. The local dogs barked and whimpered at their menacing presence. They landed on our roof. They shook her house and knocked stuff off her shelves. It was an attempt to break down her barrier, but it held. In the morning I climbed onto the roof and saw the damage myself. A day earlier, I put a brand new tarp on the house ( I was still waiting to get a new roof due to Hurricane Charley). Both the tarp and remaining roof had been slashed very badly. The marks went right though them. The marks were about 6-7 inches long and 1 ½ -2 inches wide. They were directly over my mother's room.
The beings tried a new tactic on the household. They tried to get to me. I would be sleeping and wake up to my girlfriend's voice calling me to let her in my house. The fact is that she is sleeping in my bed next to me. Obviously that didn't work. The next night they used my mother's voice. That didn't work either. They harassed my girlfriend and my mother the same way. My girlfriend is a kitchen witch and tried to make barrier around the house. But those pesky ghosts that live in the home keep "borrowing "the ingredients and never returned them.
All the shadows' attempt failed to get in. These events lasted about two weeks. The final night, my mother said" I had enough of this " and went to bed. That night, a house that was about a mile away burnt down. The legion of shadow things never came back. It was reported that a fire had sparked in the attic of the home. The house was never rebuilt. No one was killed. My theory was that something, person and/or object open a rift to this world. The invaders needed to remove the nearest threat, my mother. But she is one tough cookie. She must have subconsciously used her second defense/ offense, I call this the "Juggernaut ". She probably was unconscious when she did this. It is a piece of her mind, from the id part I believe, that does a simple duty. I , my grandfather and couple of my aunts have seen it in action before. Think of it as a super poltergeist that is unstoppable. No place is safe, even holy places. It must have set the fire or destroyed something that caused the fire. Now, it's just the regular shadows hanging around the house again.

RED EYES

This story comes from my good friend Annette. When I was about 12-13 yrs old. My sisters and I would walk through the woods to where my mom worked. This was near Dove Crest Indian Rest. Exeter,R.I. She would get out after dark. So we would meet her and get a ride home with her. She did not like driving home alone. One night, we were going though the woods( as we did so many times before) and came out by the local dam. But, this night was different. Something caught my eye and I turned to see what it was. There was a figure sitting on the wall of the dam. It turned towards me and the only thing I could see was it's glowing red eyes. It's body was all black. We ran pretty fast down the path in the woods and made it to my mother's work. From that day, we never were allowed to walk to her job again. I will never forget those glowing red eyes. I am 49 yrs old now and can still see them as it was yesterday!

CRYPTID PETS

My mother was around 10 when she received a baby black kitten from her Grandmother (Lucy the witch). This kitten was very large and the soul survivor. It was found on a farm outside of town and its mother was an ordinary house cat. The kitten grew quickly into a monster. He was called Rafael. From head to rear, not tail, was around 7 ft long. It ate raw and cooked meat. My mother was his favorite human. He only let my mother sit on his favorite couch. He was her shadow and followed her everywhere, even into town. He would hang outside of stores while she went shopping. People threw food at him out of fear he would attack them.
He guarded the family's property with his primal instinct. One time, couple of stray dogs attack my mother's dog. The mighty Rafael jumped off the porch to the rescue. He slaughtered all the strays. Another time, a careless kid wandered onto the property and was clawed real bad. He survived the encounter. The town decided to kill Rafael but, a family friend took him to Dallas. He's fate was never known. But years later, there are a few sightings of a huge black panther running loose in Texas. The family thought it could be Rafael.
While my aunt Betsy was working in a field one day, she found a unusual baby rattlesnake. She said "This will be my new pet!". Several years later, this snake was nearly twenty feet long. It's head almost a foot long and thicker than an arm. It ate chickens, raccoons, and anything it could get hold of. It roamed free but, it always returned home. There was a moment that everyone thought it would attack Betsy or anybody. She insured that it will never hurt her. She was sitting on a couch when she said that statement. Suddenly, its' huge head appeared on the couch next to her and laid it's head there. She died of lupus when she was 35 years old. The family agree to kill the snake because, there was no one who could take care of it. But it couldn't be found. Then people reported seeing it by Betsy's grave , sitting there. It coiled there for couple of days. Later it vanished into the wilderness. That was over twenty years ago. It has never been seen since.

MY INVISIBLE FRIEND

When I was between the ages of 2 and 3 years old, I had what nearly all children had. An imaginary friend! I don't remember what it look like or what it sounded like or it's name. I played games with it, and it had fun. One day, my mother bought a little toy for me and I told her my friend want one as well. So the next time she bought me a toy, she bought it one too. When she got home, she place both set of toys on the table and handed me one. Then, she would turn around and the other toy would disappear into thin air. These strange events went for a couple of months until one night. That night, I was wrestling with it and it started being rough with me. I began crying and my father yelled at it. He thought I was using my imagination until he got punched in the face by an invisible hand. Then, he realizes it was real and yelled to it to never come back. It never did came back and nor the toys it took.

MIRACLE AT FT.MEYER'S BEACH

I remember most of the details of this story and I will do my best to tell. My mother is now dead and most of my aunts won't talk about there past. It happened before I was born(70's). My mother, father and two aunts went the local major beach in the area. They were enjoying the day like any of the other people there. One of my aunts was not paying attention of her surroundings. She had floated far away and she couldn't swim back. The tide was going back out really fast. She started to panic and began to drown. My mother and aunt heard her screams for help but couldn't help her ( they can't swim either). The feeling of shear horror came over them all. Then suddenly, all three women fell into a trance. Now this gets bizarre. The aunt who was drowning began to levitate mid way in the water. The remaining water parted before her. Now people who heard the screams came into the scene by then. When they saw my aunt floating through parted water coming toward them, they all ran screaming. The beach cleared out real quick. You think Godzilla was coming. Now my aunt floated onto the beach and the women snapped out of the trance. They barely remember any of it. It was like a dream to them. My father was there and didn't flee like the others. Yet, he was very disturbed about the whole thing. He didn't talk to mom for six months.

THE MEMORIAL DAY GHOST

The house that I live in now ( 7 + years ) has a yearly traveler on this day. It's is the spirit of a man in the service who comes around 8-10p.m.. My mother was the first one to see him. He got her attention when some of the neighborhood dogs started to howl. She was outside in the laundry room at the time. She walked out and looked around the area. Across the road, she noticed a man walking slowly on the sidewalk. He was looking at the houses. It appears that he was looking for a certain one. He stopped at this one house and walked up to it. He suddenly vanished. This house belongs to a retired military man. Is this ghostly soldier a former buddy or relative checking on him?

LOST IN THE WOODS

My friend and some of his buddies were looking for parties to hang out at. They went to a place where people race their cars to win one or lose it. It was called “The Duel Roads”. But when they arrive, no one was there. So, someone mention Titty Lake. It was a lake that was surrounded by two large mounds of earth. There was no paved road. Only a dirt road in the thick brush lead there. The gang proceeded to the location but, they got lost in the darkness of the woods. So, the driver decided to drive at random in the thick bush. While wondering though the woods he saw a light from a camp fire. He headed toward it and saw it was a large bonfire. The driver and passengers saw that the fire was surrounded by people dressed in black hooded robes. All of the sudden, the driver hits the gas. The driver yelled “Did you see that !” The driver and the passengers all witness that a man was holding what appeared to be holding a baby by its' leg. He was holding it over the fire and dropped the baby into it when the guys came into view. Some of them swear they heard the baby was crying. My friend didn't hear anything. He thought it was just a doll. They finally came into a clearing and realized that Titty Lake was on the other side of the interstate highway. There was no other way there. This means they must double back though the camp and its' worshipers. So, they did and the group of hooded people stared at them when they passed by them again.

IT SLITHERED OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI!

My mother was teenager when this happened. The family stopped by a park or camp not to far from the famous river. Uncle Frank and bunch off his buddies went got their fishing gear and left, while the women set up the picnic stuff. Not too long after the women set the area, the men were sighted. The men were hauling their assess as fast as they could. Frank and his fishing posse were yelling at the women " Run to the cars!". Everyone jumped into their vehicles and fled leaving all the food behind. There must been something really horrible to make the men leave their coolers of cold beer behind. Later Frank told them what happened. The fishing gang were enjoying their time until a fowl smell encircle them. It reeked of dead fish and it was getting stronger by the minute. Suddenly, huge eel-like serpent creature appeared out of the water before them. Then it slithered toward them and they fled. While escaping, they ran into uniformed men. She couldn't remember if they were police men or park rangers or group of hunters. They had heard of early encounters of the creature from other people and waited for their chance to capture it dead or alive. When they saw the large group of people fleeing, it was their possible chance. They question Frank quickly to find where it was last sighted. The family didn't stick around to see if the men encountered it.

NATIVE AMERICANS AND ALIENS

TALL GREYS My great grandfather was a Comanche/ Apache mix and a shaman. He too had some tales of alien encounters. Sometime in the late 1950's near Tahoka, TX he had an encounter. In the middle of the night he saw lights coming from a distance plain. He stealthy traveled over to the area. He witness several grays outside of a large ship in the field. A thought enter his mind "Aren't these guys suppose to be short and thin". The grays he saw were around 8 ft tall, muscular and scary looking. He didn't hang around to see what they were doing. CRASHED SPACESHIP
A story he heard from his native brethren that they found a ship that crashed by a reservation. At first, they believed it was crashed plane. When they got there, it wasn't a plane but a heavily damaged spaceship. There were four large grays laying motionless on the ground near the ship. They were still in their suits and dripping a light red shiny fluid ( blood?). Then they suddenly became very ill. Something at the crash site was causing the illness. A military clean up crew was sited on the way to pick the remains. They left quickly before they were caught or die from the unknown exposure. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
Around 1958, between Tahoka and Lubbock ,TX, my grandfather was working in cotton field late in the night. He was driving a tractor in the full moonlight. While in the middle of the field, it went dark all of a sudden. He suddenly looked up a saw a large vessel directly above him. He steered that tractor right into a barn and barricaded himself inside. Lucky he did, several large grays were right behind him and attempted to get into the barn. They realized they were making too much noise and took off. THE NIGHT VISITORS
When my mother was around 16-17 years old , she would wake up and see tall skinny people in her doorway. But thought she was dreaming. My younger aunt, Teresa, kept dreaming the same thing as well. She told her older sister, Betsy, what was going on. So Betsy waited with her best friend, a baseball bat , that night. In the middle of the night , Teresa's window opened. Two tall and very skinny aliens entered the room. Their skin was black and shinny like their suits. They had set of large black eyes. Their limbs look like tentacles. Then she realized they were floating. She yelled at them and they turned to look at her. They saw that bat and knew that was no friendly "Hello" gift. They jumped out the window and Betsy was in pursuit. For those who don't know, Betsy once tracked a skin walker over a week in the Texas wilderness by foot. She chased the E.Ts several miles outside Tahoka. The duo realized they couldn't lose her at their current speed even though their feet didn't touch the ground. They hit their anti gravity afterburners and peeled away. She never saw their ship, but they never came back either. THE BLACK TRIANGLE
In the fall of 1997, I had two sightings of my own. The first was on north bound U.S. 41 with my friend Jason. It was around 11:30.pm- 12 .am. We just left the AMC movie theater and were going home. We passed into Charlotte county and passed Ziemal road . Then we see this small light on the road. We slowly stopped and stuck our heads out the windows to see the source. The light was coming from the center of a black triangle that was hovering above the road. It was floating around 20 ft of the ground. It was several times bigger than the car we were in. We speed off quickly. I was thinking "Why would a stealth fighter be hovering above a road in Charlotte county." THE MOTHER SHIP
Several weeks later, again coming from the movies. A bright light was in the distance and I showed Jason it as well. I told him we need to get our binoculars and see what we can see. When I got home, I got them and looked outside towards the Gulf of Mexico. It was no star , but a vessel of some type. It kinda looked like a huge electric shaver. I also can barely see what look like 3-4 black triangles hovering next to it. They look like flies compared to the mother ship. I called Jason and asked if he was seeing the same thing I was. He agreed. Then suddenly, purple horizontal bolts came out from it in all directions. One passed overhead of my house. The vessel slowly turned toward the gulf and moved away out of sight.

THE HAUNTED FORT

My mother was about fifteen years old, she thinks. The family moved to a migrant camp located in Missouri or Minnesota , that’s what some of my aunts' thinks. The camp was near a place called Red... something. They don't know if the camp had just opened or had not workers for a while. There were large numbers of families moving in at the same time when they arrived. For a couple of days, everything was normal. Then suddenly, noises started coming from the nearby field. Kids discovered the source whiling taking their lunch breaks on a nearby hill. The noises were of men yelling and screaming at each other. Soon after that, there was movement in the field. The high grass began to move, as if someone was walking in them. All the kids began hanging out at the site. Their lunch breaks was like being at the movies for them. As clockwork everyday, the field was a show. Now the field was battleground of the long dead Indians and white soldiers. They looked almost real but, their faces were smudged leaving no detailed of their faces.
The ghostly activity jumped into the camp itself. There was no indoor plumbing, so everybody washed outside in tubs with high curtains. A woman was showering, when she looked up a saw a woman in old fashion clothes hanging from the shower pole. She screamed her brains out.
A group of people entered one of the large building and saw a horror beyond belief. The inside of the building was covered with blood and piles of dismembered people. Their flesh appeared to be gnawed upon. The onlookers fled in sheer terror.
Some of the workers heard a woman screaming for help. It was coming for the tunnel beneath one of the large buildings. My uncle and couple of the young guys went into it. Several moments passed. Yelling was heard and then the gang climbed out almost out of breath. They said that followed the cries to a large room. Their lanterns revealed something other than a woman needing help. The light revealed skeletons of horses standing and moving toward them. They ran like hell!
Someone found out that my great grandmother was a witch and asked her for a seance. She refused but the people kept pestering her. She finally agreed and nothing happened. But the next day, the ghost army vanished and other activity ceased. There was a feeling of dread that came over the camp. One of the buildings developed a aura of malice. Workers would glimpse something staring at them from the unlit corners of the ceiling. Finally, a priest was summoned to cleanse the place of this evil presence. The priest entered the building by himself. Everybody else was scared to enter with him. A couple of moments passed and the workers couldn't hear him anymore. It was too quiet! Some entered and found the priest hanging, barely clinging to life. Couple of brave soul quickly climbed the rafters and cut him down. They all ran with the priest outside to safety. The next day my mother and her family left the area.
