I See Ghosts Back to: Ghost Stories

Even though I was just a little girl, I can remember
it like it was yesterday.
I was so young that I didn't even know
that it was a spirit. I started begging to play with the little girl.
She seemed to be calling me to play, also.
My grandmother, who was
raising me, became very scared. She grabbed me up and ran out the
front door. We didn't go back for hours into that
house.
Well, when my dad and grandpa came home, we were still
sitting outside. They asked why we were sitting outside, refusing to go
back into that house. It wasn't me, who was refusing, it was grandma.
She said, "We have to move."
Grandpa said, "Why? We just moved
here."
"Because Shirley can see them," grandma said, meaning
ghosts.
Grandpa couldn't say anything, because his sister has
the same gift. That same gift has never left me. I'm now 47 years old
and can still see ghosts. Let me tell you, after I grew up, I
came to understand that ghosts are not just of this world, as I had
once thought when a little girl. See I didn't know about ghosts when
young. I just thought I was going to play with another child.
Then, the refrigerator shut down and we lost $200 worth of
groceries. I had that fixed. The stove also needed work. I used sage to
fix it all. I layed it out upon each thing, and when it dried, I
burned it.
Now this house is very active, but I have never crossed over a
ghost because I was also taught by my grandparents that you do not speak to
them. Which I do in order to let them know, that I know, they are
here. I don't mind, nor am I scared of them. I just need the things in my
home.
I will tell you that growing
up with ghosts will make
you a very high-strung person. Maybe a little jumpy. I had one
sneak up behind me, and I told the ghost, "I don't mind you being
here, but please don't sneak up behind me, again." Now, the ghosts just do
as they please. Things are getting moved around and lost for weeks at a
time. Out of the blue, missing items will be put
back in place to where they should be. My home frequently has TVs
turning on and off and doors in the house slaming.
At one point, my
psychologist told me to lay down, relax, and go to my happy place. When I
did this, the ghosts then communicated through me. Another family member of the
home, who lives here with me, also received a message through
me. I do not retain any memory of the conversion, but he said he knows who
the person is. The ghost was his brother speaking through
me. The ghost said things, through me, to him. He said
that the spirit had to be his brother, because only his brother would
have known these things, not even me.
I've never crossed over a ghost,
and I probably do have the gift to do so, considering all that I have been
through in my life. Ghosts are here. Ghosts were in every house
I've ever lived in. By the way, the ghost I saw when I was a little girl,
caused us to move two days later after everyone in the house could hear a little
girl choking to death. They knew I had seen the little girl they had heard
dying.
I've never had to put up with ghosts trying to destroy everything
I own. Like I said, I used sage and fixed most everything that
broke. Still, kitchen pans are being banged, objects are missing, and
there is a lot of anger within some of my family who live in the house with
me. They are not used to dealing with the negative energy from
the ghosts. It is working on their moods, and they become angry at nothing.
