Ghostly EncountersBack toGhost Stories (or guardian angel?) In 2000, my husband, who is from Stockholm, Sweden had a strange
encounter in the apartment we are living in. He works late in the night
repairing computers and he went upstairs to the kitchen to get some coffee.
He went through the dining room to the kitchen and the light switched off. He
believed it to be a mechanical failure, as he is an engineer. He tested the
switch and it worked fine and again went out of the room and the light
switched off.
This was the beginning of a serious haunting that scared the daylights out of
us. Later that night a bag of oranges which was sitting on the cupboard
spilled out and oranges were all over the floor. That was enough to convince
him that this was an out-of-the-ordinary experience and he hid under the
covers.
My dog and cat refused to go into the dining room and kitchen which was
where all the incidents occurred. They would cry and cower in fear when the
entity was about.
The incidents started escalating and a crucifix I had on the wall was laying on
the floor, knives would appear on the table, when there wasn't anything there
the night before and noises which sounded like a child crying would come
from the dining room corner. There was a cold spot in the center of the
dining room and I always felt chilled going there.
Shortly after this started I had company over for dinner and was setting the
table and put placemats on the table. As soon as I moved to another setting,
the placemat flew off the table. Then chairs started moving on their own
accord.
This continued for approximately 6 months and both my husband and myself
were living in fear of the unseen. Electrical interference's started happening
whereby a lightbulb would last approximately 1 week, the television was
constantly flickering, static noises came over the radio and things would
disappear that I know were in plain view.
I decided enough was enough and contacted the Paranormal Society in
London asking for an address for Eddie Burke, a known ghost hunter, who
stated in his book that he could remove ghosts from any location, as time
and distance do not matter in the spiritual world. I sent him a floor plan of my
home and within 2 weeks of sending it to him, the ghosts were gone.
As Eddie is in his 80's, I hope that he has a prodigy to take his place, as this
was a very frightening experience to go through.
Today the apartment feels warm and safe and I do not sense any beings
present.
