October Ghost Stories
It's OCTOBER! That means, it is time for "October Ghost Stories." Yearly, I enjoy telling my scariest stories about the times when I worked with Nebulous Children, or children who shared with me that they can see ghosts. Of all of my experiences with these lovely children, there was one entity who was mentioned to me far more times than I wanted to know. He was considered a "dark angel" to the kids; one who haunted the grounds of building 3, and every child and parent who could see ghosts told me about him. All were afraid of it, and each child and parent described this ghost in the same manner. It was,
A "dark angel" in building 3 was the topic of conversation for many children. He was described in many ways by the kids, as you just read above and he was scary to them. None of the kids and adults who could see him wanted me to go into that building. As a matter of fact, they advised against it because this entity wanted to harm me. Initially, I thought it was a visual hallucination of one child, but too many kids were telling me about him, and afraid to enter that building, or to be near it. Communication about that ghost with families would be from afar, such as in the parking lot These conversations were coincidental, such as after I would catch them starting at the building. Overtime, the more that families spoke to me about the building, I started to pay attention to the details. Always remember that these families did not know one another at all due to confidentiality. Yet, each account was almost identical which is another reason why I started to take notice. It felt as if I was hearing a "new" story each time I met new families under my care, and that was a final reason why it started to become real to me as well. I had been cautioned many times about not going into that building. I only entered it twice and each time it was just dark, heavy, and I had the feeling that something was watching me. The hair on my arms rose, along with chills on my back. Mind you, that was before I started learning about this entity, its history, and information about the building and land. Basically, I was initially ignorant going into this building yet having those sensations. I can recall looking back at the building as I walked away from it wondering, "What was that all about?" I was not talking about my sensations at all. Something was there and I did not want to enter that building again if I could help it. As I gained more clients, that is when I learned more about this ghost. After hearing about this ghost over and over again, I not only decided to do my own research but I asked others about it. I questioned them because I also wanted to share what families told me, seek consultation from other professionals, and try to make sense of it all. To my surprise, staff knew about this ghost and had their own stories of encounter,
So, the families were being truthful with me. They had no reason to lie, but I felt compelled to talk to others who work in that building. They validated the kids! Only one child of several that told me about this entity, wanted to go into the building. The others were afraid. The staff seemed used to this ghost and were not fearful of working in the building while it was walking around. Parents who could see ghosts or had kids who could see them, advised me to refrain from going into the building. Some of the kids would hold my hands very hard as we walked past that building while outside. Others would not walk past at all. The building was unnerving to me personally, and I do not scare easily with the paranormal. I do not see ghosts, but I knew before I met these families that, Something was going on in that building. Research I went into the building exactly three times. The third time, I challenged myself because by then I had heard enough scary stories and accounts from staff that made me uneasy about going into the building alone. At least on the bottom floor by myself because no other people were around. I had to walk upstairs to get to others. Despite all of the visions and warnings, I went in there although watching my back heavily to ensure that I was safe. Remember, the families shared that I was not safe in the building. That thought kept going through my mind and I was cautious, but optimistic because other staff were upstairs. Once I was done in that building, I "got the hell" out of there only to feel pushed down the stairs. The families, especially one child, actually told me that the ghost said that he pushed me down the stairs WITHOUT me telling this particular child about the incident. In other words, this child told me because this child heard the ghost tell him or her that it pushed me. This child said, I told you not to go into that building It wants to harm you This child, and others were right. Why were they right; was my question, and who was this entity? What reason was it attached to that building? I did not believe in a purgatory period, so this was intriguing to me, to say the least. A few families answered my questions. One mother, however, stood out to me and this is what she said,
Why?
This parent declined to share the details about harming others. It was too much, according to her, and that demons have the ability to influence others and cause harm. Influencing I think meant energy to this parent, but I interpreted it as jumping from one person to another. This parent discussed being very careful around that type of hatred and evil. One thing that I did not understand, however, is what it had against me? Since this was a parent who freely discussed this ghost, I asked her about its dislike toward me. In my mind, it made no sense to me. This parent kindly explained,
I did not believe this parent at all. For one, convincing me that I glow and other people do as well was so far fetched to me that I ignored it....for years until I did not any longer. It took countless people, even strangers, to tell me about these same experiences. Many taught me to be mentally flexible and learn to trust the accounts of others. The matching stories helped to change my mind about all of their experiences. Despite not believing the parent about "glowing," I did want to find out more about this ghost. I do not remember how I found the land archives, but I believe this parent had something to do with it. I think she cued me into something about the building, without her knowing, that helped my search. I do not recall that small detail, but I did an extensive search about the history of the land out of curiosity. I did learn about a male caretaker who possibly owned the building and may have harmed children. It was a children's home, which made sense to me during that time period. Child abuse, although I cannot stand it, also seemed plausible due to the lack of child protective laws at that time. I found out that a child may have been murdered on that land too, but I could not determine if it was from this caretaker/owner or if the possible death was due to disease. Tuberculosis was problematic at that time. The records were old and difficult to read although I did find some articles. I mentioned my findings to numerous people. I was in a bit of shock about it all. To me, the kids and parents who could see ghosts were right. Those kids and parents asked if that information confirms that their visions were valid to me? I told them yes, but to also understand that I canNOT see ghosts hence the reason that it was all difficult for me to initially believe. The research findings plus the staff accounts of this ghost helped to change my mind. Conclusion While on the grounds of building 3 after the research, I stared at the building a lot harder especially toward the back door. I was trying to see this ghost myself, but no luck. I walked past the building many times in my quest to see it. I refrained from going into the building; I had been warned too often, and at some point I did need to heed that advice. There was something sinister about it, and something hidden about me that it could see and kids could see, but not me. I settled with that information, but it did not stop me from giving it the "evil eye" when I walked past the building. You see, when the child told me that this entity pushed me, it was this entity who told the child, not me. The "evil eye" was me saying, I know you are there and what you did to me on that day, and how you have been harmful toward others. It was all true and, I did not go back into that building, would you?

"Ghost," the Movie
I was watching the movie, "Ghost" last night with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, and Whoopie Goldberg, and there were a few scenes in it that made me smile. I smiled because they reminded me of some of the conversations that I had with Nebulous Children. Scenes within that movie mimicked what Nebulous Children told me, such as light versus dark, dark angels, and how objects move around them. The parts that caused me the most pause in this movie, were when dark angels took away the men in the movie; from their sounds of their voices, to the faces that the actors make while leaving with those dark angels. Those scenes mirror the spiritual realm to me, based upon the stories that I have heard from Nebulous Children, as well as their parents. The movie "Ghost" is loosely based upon religion because it separates good versus evil, and the consequences of choice or "free will." It made me recall a time when a Nebulous Parent detailed some information to me about a church that I was attending, and how the spiritual realm connects with religion, churches, and Pastors. On that day, a Nebulous Parent shared with me:
Of course, I asked all types of questions such as, how do you know? This parent told me that she could see it all. She also told me that my angel told her, to tell me, that she stands behind and above me while I am sitting in the pew. Why would she need to protect me at church? After learning that information, I used to look up at the lights swaying back and forth while I was sitting in the pew, and behind me for my angel. Occasionally, I still look for her when I think about it. My husband used to know what I was looking for as we sat in the pew, and he would laugh at me. I used to tell him all of these stories, so when I was being odd such as looking around, he would know the reason. He would also tell me if one appeared to me, I would be the first one running as if they were mice. He may have been right!? Side note: If I see a mouse; dead or alive, I am "ghost." Consultation I met with my Pastor and described my work with Nebulous Children. I also mentioned the stories that the Nebulous Parent above told me about what was happening in the church, as he preached his sermon. I thought that he would either disbelieve the parent or tell me why it was all untrue, according to the Bible. That is NOT what happened, nor were my assumptions correct about what he was going to tell me. Then, he added a surprise fact that he learned from his own child, as a child. My Pastor believed this parent and discussed the spiritual realm with me. It was an interesting and informative conversation that forced me to turn off my psychology books. I will always remember this conversation between the two of us because I considered it an, "aha" moment. The part of the conversation that yielded that type of mental response from me was when he said, "My child used to see ghosts; angels, and told me that they line up in front of the pulpit when I preach my sermon." Whattttttttt??? Did you say? I sat there for a moment. Of course I believed my Pastor. He told me all of the details. I actually went back and told that story to this same Nebulous Parent and she said, "I told you. Believe me now?" Well, it was not as if I did not believe her, but confirmation comes in different ways. This time, it helped that it came from my Pastor who to me, had a different type of direct connect with God. I told her that I always believed her, but that I was learning from my Pastor in order to gain a deeper perspective into the spiritual realm. That way, I could understand Nebulous Children better and improve my relatedness to them since I was unable to see ghosts myself. I thought it was unbelievable that this parent told me the same thing that the Pastor's child told him, which made me even more of a believer of the gift of Nebulous Children. My Pastor smiled because he already knew about the angels and demons lining up and sitting with him in the pulpit. Going forward from that time period, when I attended church I would also think about God's angels sitting in front of the Pastors as they preached. Sometimes, I smile wondering what a Nebulous person would tell me about what spirits are seen in the church. Nebulous Children and Parents have told me that spirits are sitting in churches with us and that it is amazing to see, but that dark angels are there as well. That should not surprise you by the time you have reached this blog. If it does, remember, Satan is a fallen angel who knows the word of God probably better than most of us. His adversaries sit in the church to taunt God. Outside of church, Satan accomplishes the destruction by harming humans, who they hate and want to destroy. According to the Bible, we are "made in God's image" which Satan does not appreciate at all. The next time you want to contact demons, remember what I just told you. November, 2021 Last week, I spoke to a Pastor about my blog and podcast. He completely believed me and had heard stories about individuals seeing ghosts as well. He also shared that there is a spiritual realm, according to the Bible. He said that my gift was to work with children, and to stay where I am to help the children. What is interesting about this conversation is that for one, I did not know for months that he is a Pastor and two, when I reluctantly shared my stories, he believed me. Not to mention, a few other professionals who were listening to me believed me as well and shared their own experiences. My learning is ongoing; it never stops, and it probably never will with regard to Nebulous People.
"Child's Play," The Movie
Remember Chucky? From the movie, "Child's Play," released on 11/09/1988 in the USA. I was in high school at that time, and I can recall the success of this movie. Not just at the box office, but scaring the daylights out of all of us! Especially, those of us who had an appreciation for dolls. I had a lot of dolls growing up, and my friend Maria and I would play with our dolls for hours. From my house to hers, we were all about Barbie dolls and other types of dolls. I collected a lot of dolls and kept them for many years, as I plan to keep (some) of my daughter's dolls as well. As I began to understand more about life, as I thought I did as a growing child, I remember looking at all of my dolls thinking, "What if they come to life at night while I am asleep, or gone to school?" At one point, I used to believe that all of my toys came to life when we were not at home, (I understand Andy - "Toy Story"). Overtime, my imagination got the best of me, and I started putting those dolls away in storage in our attic, including the doll houses. I did not have to look at them, looking at me, with their eyes open any longer. Not to mention the dolls whose eye would open and close pending how you held the doll in your arms. When the movie, "Child's Play" hit the big screen, it was only confirmation bias toward my beliefs and/or questions about dolls, lol. Makes me laugh! Make no mistake, Child's Play is a horror film and it will make you react exactly how the Director, Tom Holland, wants you to which is to jump in fear. After watching Child's Play, all bets were off for me to have any dolls in my bedroom. However, the question remains, "Can dolls be haunted?" 
Haunted Dolls
Whether or not dolls can be possessed has been a topic of discussion for many years, long before my existence. Haunted doll collectors will tell you yes, dolls can be haunted. Nebulous Children will tell you yes, all toys can be possessed by Dark Angels. What I will tell you is to be careful with what you bring into your home. Some of you appreciate collecting dolls from various cities or countries when you travel. However, try not to be so quick to bring those dolls into your home. You never know the type of rituals that are practiced, or who presides over those customs. Someone close to me brought back some statues from another country. I went over to the home to visit, and walked in and saw those statues. I had a very bad feeling that was not paranoia, but what was strange was that my oldest daughter who was maybe 3-years-old at the time, would NOT go near those statues. Trust kids! I said, "You have to burn those statues and remove them from your home." This person thought I was just joking around, but I was serious. Weeks later, I asked about those statues and this person said to me, "I got rid of those statues because everyone who came around me had a weird feeling about them." Every walk into a home and see a large gathering of dolls, as shown within the above picture? I have and it is creepy to me, just a bunch of eyes starting at you as if they are human. How do we deal with those fake faces, and unsettled feelings about dolls? Mannequins even have power right? Walk into a department store at night! Some dolls even make strange noises which adds to their creepiness, as if they are ventriloquized. Dead eyes, frozen stare? Sounds like they are haunted to me and it can be frightening, especially to children. Now, add the ability to see ghosts to the equation. Understand why many Nebulous Children prefer not to have dolls? 
Haunted Doll Possessions
Dolls can be beautifully designed. Most of them are gorgeous, adorable, and easy to purchase for our children. Dolls are perceived as harmless and can put kids in a good mood, especially with the ability to change their clothes and hair. However, haunted dolls are a thing, and can be purchased. The question is, do you know what is haunting the doll, or possessed it when you purchase it? The answer is no and that is the problem. Nebulous Children can see ghosts, and have told me that any toy can be possessed. Nebulous Children can see the actual ghost that "hides" near the doll making it move. In building 2, all of the Nebulous Children saw ghosts that would activate the toys or make them move or start their sounds. It was not just one child or one toy, but all of the children who could see ghosts witnessed this phenomenon in various parts of the building. It was incredibly scary because when they would leave the building, I still had to be there, and with the dolls and other toys. Many of you have memories of haunted dolls and toys, just as Nebulous Children and I have experienced them. I noticed that a few of the parents would embrace these dolls and toys with the hope that they will conjure up a spirit to talk to, or that something will happen by way of these toys. The cuteness of the dolls would make it easier to talk to the ghosts, and make them feel more comfortable. Yes, until they look like Annabelle. Remember Annabelle? She was no ordinary doll. "Annabelle" the movie, and "The Conjuring" are closely related with original stories deriving from the 1970s. The Conjuring frightened millions of us and to this day, I cannot watch it again. It was far too real to me after working with Nebulous Children for many years, especially given their own homes being haunted. Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are now both deceased, were paranormal investigators who worked with the families from The Conjuring movie, The Amityville Horror, and also Poltergeist, which are other movies that I decline to watch during Halloween. There are stories written about the Warrens working with the original family, who owned the Annabelle doll in the 1970s, which is when the possessions allegedly started with the family. Personally, I do not like possessions at all which is why I will not view these movies again, although I do currently own a Raggedy Ann doll. *On a side note: I have a close friend who grew up near Amityville. My friend confirmed to me years ago, before I worked with any Nebulous Child, that the story is true and that the home was possessed.* Will You Still Purchase Dolls? After all of these scary doll movies, working with Nebulous Children, and witnessing toys in building 2 move and work without any children playing with them, yes I would still purchase dolls if my girls were still little. However, no porcelain dolls or statues from various places, don't judge me. However, I did purchase a doll on a trip with my husband for my youngest daughter from an island. I thought the doll was so cute and it felt like a safe purchase. Once we arrived back home and I gave it to her, she would not play with it. I flashed back to my oldest daughter not going near those statues mentioned above, and I permanently took the doll and put it away. I still have it somewhere within my home, along with the bear from building 2. Check your dolls. I am sure that they are watching you! HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN - with lots of candy!

It is a favorite Halloween movie that we watch yearly. While watching my kids jump at various scenes, it reminded me of a topic that I mentioned this week on my podcast about haunted houses. You see, Nebulous Children told me many stories about their houses being haunted. So, how about your home? Is it haunted? Halloween is the time of the year when people enjoy visiting haunted houses. What if I told you that your home is already haunted? Well, that's what Nebulous Children told me. That every home has ghosts because there is a spiritual realm that exists amongst us. Most of us just cannot see it. (It's written about in the Bible many times) Nebulous Children used to tell me, "People want to see ghosts, but if you could see what I see all of the time you would not want to any longer, because it is scary." Weekly in forums, I am asked, "How can I tell if my home is haunted?" I used to giggle when I sold real estate and buyers would ask, "Is this home haunted? I used to shake my head and think, "If they only knew what I knew," from Nebulous Children about the paranormal. If we all knew, None of us would purchase homes. To answer the question, "Is my home haunted" directly, Yes, your home is haunted. Nebulous Children and their parents have told me repeatedly that all homes are haunted. God's angels, dark angels, and etc., are around us all of the time. However, disturbances are different. They are frightening. Many Nebulous Children were terrified of what was haunting their homes. Frequently Asked Questions About Haunted Homes: Your home's age? Does not matter. Brand new home? Again, AGE of your home DOES not matter. Abandoned building? Does not matter. Home isolated in the woods? Does not matter. Near a cemetery? Does not matter. Ancient burial ground? Does not matter. Senior citizen center/home? Really... It does not matter. Your home is haunted. Not all hauntings are bad. Remember, the majority of us cannot see ghosts. Be Happy about that fact! Disturbances I will not deal with paranormal disturbances. You should not either. Personally, I have dealt with disturbances mostly while at work. While working with Nebulous Children. Not in my place of residence. Disturbances can happen, and Nebulous Children experienced them within their homes. Some of these hauntings were unkind to Nebulous Children. Think about Child G and F. "Twin Flames" Scary! #kidscanseeghostscanyou #boo HAPPY HALLOWEEN  October Celebrity Ghost Stories Brittany Murphy-Monjack October Celebrity Ghost Stories is a topic that makes me smile because the public loves to discuss celebrities, but also good ghost stories. I have been reading about celebrity ghost stories for years, but I decided to wait until October, 2021 to write about some of them in my blog. I do mean "some" of them because if you google "celebrity ghost stories," you will find a lot of stories about his topic. On Wednesday night, my husband sent me an article about a celebrity that we lost on 12/20/2009 named Brittany Murphy-Monjack. Some of you may remember her from one of my old favorite movies, "Clueless." Yes, I said, "Clueless." I also like "Legally Blonde" with Reese Witherspoon, but do not judge me. My closest friends know that I love Reese Witherspoon. Anywho! Apparently, the former Murphy-Monjack home had some "disturbances," as evidenced by Brittany Spears as well, who formerly owned the home and sold it to the Murphy-Monjacks. Here's the other part of the story; Brittany Murphy-Monjack's husband also died within the home, and he was having tactile hallucinations prior to his death. Remember my story in Blog 18? If not, please read it again. The sad reality about the Murphy-Monjack deaths to me is that it really made me think about broken hearts right? How many times do we learn about one spouse dying, and then the other due to a broken heart? After reading this article, I also realized that I need to write about the houses of Nebulous Children since they shared information with me about their own homes being haunted. Rest in Paradise Murphy-Monjacks. People Magazine By Hannah Chubb 10/13/2021 Link: https://people.com/home/the-dark-history-behind-brittany-murphys-home-plus-what-happened-to-it-after-she-died-there/  Marilyn Manson There was a point in time when I started watching, "Celebrity Ghost Stories," which interested me since I worked with Nebulous Children. Marilyn Manson's "Celebrity Ghost Story" was probably the most unforgettable story of all of them to me, for numerous reasons. Often, you will hear me paraphrase some of his quotes on my podcast, but also to children that I work with because it was that powerful to me! I will paraphrase that quote: "When you open the door to things you don't know about, those things never go away." He had a purpose for saying that based upon his story, and it made sense to me. In other words, if you do not understand what you are doing, you can unleash things that remain with you. That is a paraphrase that I frequently repeat to all of you who either play with Ouija Boards, or want to play with them. Listen to Marilyn's story on "Celebrity Ghost Story," BEFORE you decide to play with an Ouija Boards, or "summon demons." They are not your friends. In other words, do not play with what you do not know about or can see for yourself - that is dark. As Nebulous Children will tell you, you may want the gift but it is not always a good one based upon their experiences with "Dark Angels." Read by blog about Dark Angels to understand. Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) Season 2, Episode 10 Check it out on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtJImJWz35U  Tionne Watkins, T-Boz Tionne, better known by her stage name, T-Boz, had a ghost story on one of my favorite television shows, "The Haunting," on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN). It was intense and I loved the mystery behind it, but I have to share that it was very scary. Sometimes I wondered if it was scary because I had my own paranormal experiences by way of Nebulous Kids, or if it truly was just scary. T-Boz wanted to "Unravel The Truth" as I did, and wrote about in an earlier blog. In "Unraveling The Truth," I wrote about the things that I learned about a company where I worked and had many of my experiences with Nebulous Children and paranormal activity. Kim Russo and T-Boz uncovered the truth behind the mystery of T-Boz's paranormal activity while residing in a condo in California. Watch T-Boz's episode, and you be the judge. Then, tell me your thoughts, but I think she one scary episodes. The Haunting Season 5, episode 7 https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/the-haunting-of/season-5/episode-7  Halle Berry Did you all watch "Gothika?" I did and I never watched it again, lol. There are some movies about hauntings that stick with me, and Gothika was one of them. Of course, she was a Psychiatrist in the film, named Dr. Miranda Grey. Good horror movies always have a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist in them. I wonder why? Later on in Halle's career, she shared that she actually believed in ghosts, and had a paranormal experience while filming, "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge." If you have not read about Halle's paranormal experience while filming this movie, I encourage you to read it. Look at the uncanny resemblance between Halle and Dorothy. Halle's story is believable and it will also motivate you to watch the movie. The one fact that is undeniable is that she seems to be a "Twin Flame" of Dorothy Dandridge. Read my blog number 18 called, "Twin Flames" if you are unaware of what I mean by twin flames. Fascinating! Introducing Dorothy Dandridge Release Date: 08/21/1999 Article by www.mcall.com Photo by thethings.com  Miley Cyrus Speaking of "The Ghost Boy," from my blog, Miley Cyrus, along with her younger sister, had their fair share of a little ghost boy that was haunting their family home. Not to mention, Miley was also dreaming about him and she was, "terrified." Many Nebulous Children have told me about their dreams, but when they become reality, that was a different story for them. Miley's story is very similar to the stories of the Nebulous Children who saw the little ghost boy in building 2, form my blog. Remember, this is very scary for children and Miley along with her sister, can attest to that fear. Original article: www.elle.com (Elle UK) 08/05/2013 Current information attained from thefader.com Photo by Jason Kempen for Getty Images / design by Aimee Bowen, adapted from thefader.com Conclusion There are far too many celebrity ghost stories to write about on my website; however, the aforementioned stories are unforgettable to me. Each story matches a blog that I have already written, or will write about soon. Going forward, if you question whether or not my stories about Nebulous Children are authentic, remember that other people can attest to many of the same experiences. Not to mention, my stories about working with Nebulous Children as a Psychologist are true, and I also believe each celebrity who has had an encounter with ghosts. Listen to Kanye West and Kid Cudi's, "Kids See Ghosts," from 2018, and you tell me that they were NOT one of my Nebulous Children as kids. Go to centralsauce.com to read their interpretation of that song. Also, watch the video, then go back to my blog from "Twin Flames," and take a look at Blog 19. Whew! Fun Facts: Three of these celebrities are Ohioans just like me, but 2 are from the Cleveland, Ohio area. I have something in common with each celebrity mentioned. I met the father of one of the celebrities. Kinda eery right? I chose the celebrities above at random, except Brittany Murphy-Monjack. Wow! Throw Back Friday When my oldest child was about 2/3-years-old, I tucked her in bed for the night. I walked back into my room to lay down, and a few minutes later, I felt a strong urge or push to run back into her room. I do not know why, or what made me alarmed, but I hauled ass back into her room. The room felt heavy to me. I picked her up and took her back to my room and laid her in my bed. I stood in my room for a minute and I recall thinking, What was that (in her room)? Almost immediately I grabbed my Bible. I have never been afraid of dark angels, not even as a younger woman. I walked into her room armed, and prayed. I told whatever it was to go away and never return in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I just got chills all over my body) And, the room was lighter. I recall being mad about it. I am fiercely protective of my kids, even with ghosts. This transfers over to other children as well; I feel as if I have a calling to protect children and work with them. Needless to say, that night my baby slept with me. Real Estate I have not had an encounter similar to that one again, and that was 19 years ago. However, I have been disturbed by other "feelings." For example, I had a real estate license in Missouri and sold homes for about 5 years up until last year. I have walked into homes and just left. When my own family started looking for a new home several years ago, my husband and I walked into a home and ironically, we both looked at one another and said, "Hell no!" We both felt as if the house was haunted and creepy. Another time, we viewed a home and things were ok until I walked into a blue room. The room was heavy, dark, and seemed cloudy. My husband was not really feeling the home anyway, but I told him that we could not buy that home. He agreed, but when we were back in the car I told him my reasoning. He said, "Oh, then that one is definitely off of the list." I also sold a home once that where a woman was allegedly murdered. The neighborhood rumor was that she was murdered and shared with me who allegedly killed that woman. It was obviously a police case, but I was tasked to sell the home. When I walked into the home to view it prior to listing it, the home was left in the state that it was when this poor woman died. I am so serious! That included the things used to allegedly murder her as well. Talking about creepy! However, I was so unbothered by it all. I walked through the home with no problem, but I would not go in it alone. My husband was always with me in abandoned buildings and during open houses. I disclosed what happened to the previous owner of the building to potential buyers, and the building still sold in a day. No one cared about the death, or the items that were left in the building. That was a bit odd to me, but Not every one is afraid of ghosts! Angel In The Tree My family and I were eating dinner one night, and I looked at the wall in our family room and said, “Look, the angel in the tree is finally showing himself to me.” My husband saw it and decided that he was not going to look at it again. My oldest child saw it too. We just proceeded to eat, and I kept looking at it because I was kind of excited. I also wanted to see it clearly to be sure that I was not hallucinating. I could see the outline of his face, along with the tree branches and leaves, as well as the upper part of his body. It was a silhouette, if you will, and perfectly illustrated. According to Nebulous Children and their parents, the angel in the tree would show himself to me one day. This was something that I repeatedly heard from the children. I think when they told me, I did not believe them because I cannot see ghosts. So, how was he going to show himself to me? Over the years, it has mostly been in dreams but not that day; the angel in the tree used the sunlight, as a reflection on the wall. Amazing! I said aloud that I was going to get my phone and take a picture of it. It disappeared. Family I am a dreamer. When I was in graduate school the first time, for my Master's degree, I had chicken pox. It was awful and I am glad that we now have a vaccine for it. I was 26-years-old when I had it, and it was terrible. I was very sick and missed about 6 weeks of school which was obviously excused due to a medical illness. I thought that I was going to fail school due to missing a lot of class lectures and work, but there was nothing that I could do about it. Ironically, a few days prior to the rashes breaking out, my blood was tested to determine if I had the antibodies for chicken pox. That was done to determine if I had it as a child, but a mild case. If I was positive for the antibodies, my doctor was not going to give me the chicken pox shot. However, I broke out and that did not matter any longer. All I did was lay on the sofa, eat popsicles, and watch television. Snow storms prevented my parents from flying to me, my boyfriend from helping me, and I was unable to travel home because we had an ice storm in Nashville. Beside, chicken pox is so contagious that no airline would allow me to fly anyway, so I was stuck at home - miserable with no help. I was almost hospitalized by a Pediatrician, but she took a different route to treat me that allowed me to remain at home with a 103 degree fever which was good to me. I dozed off to sleep and I saw my grandfather and my grandmother. I did not know that was my grandmother until she told me, and I saw her picture from my father. Both spirits were standing in my dining room, in my dream. They shared with me that they were checking on me because I was very sick. They told me that I was not alone and that I would be ok. I had not seen my grandfather since I was about 13-years-old, and I never met my grandmother. She died many years ago, but I am told that I look very much like her when she was my age. They stayed with me and watched over me. I can still see them if I close my eyes because their images were that real to me. My grandfather came closer to me and told me that I would finish school. He said that this sickness would go away and that he would help me. My grandmother stayed away from me, maybe because I had never met her in person. However, she did not leave and I felt very comforted by their presence. I told my parents what happened. I knew it was my maternal grandfather, but I was still unclear about the other spirit. I described her to my father and he said, that was his mother which is what I figured. He pointed to her picture and although I have been that picture in the past, I did not put it together on my own for some reason. I glanced at the picture and told him that was her and that she visited me more than once. I asked him if he thought I favored her. He said yes, very much. Funny, about two weeks ago my dad looked at me and told me that I have a facial bone structure just like his mother. They have not visited me in many years. What is interesting about this story is that most recently at work, I started playing jazz music to calm my nerves while I write reports. Every single song that my grandfather used to play when I was a child, has been playing on Pandora and I immediately think of him. Coincidence, or not? What are your October Ghost Stories?  October October is a fun month, especially for children. Most kids love Halloween. We celebrate disabilities in the month of October and lastly, our seasons change. As I grow older, I am learning to appreciate all of the beauty that happens in the fall here in the Midwest. From watching the animals gather their belongings to hibernate, to birds migrating south for the winter, and the flowers and trees preparing for winter. Fall is an amazing time of the year, and October is typically a month where I share all of my scary interactions with Nebulous Children's visions. I also tell stories about my own personal interactions with paranormal activity. Most of it began after I started working with Nebulous Children. Nebulous children, as well as their parents, would tell me the reasons that my paranormal experiences happened and their purpose in my life. I have been telling these stories to my undergraduate and graduate students for many years in October, as well as my family and colleagues. Most of them tell me, "You have such good ghost stories," Um...yeah, but they are all TRUE stories. On some occasions, I had witnesses with. me. My Ghost Stories 1) I was writing a blog because I was extremely bored at work. I am almost positive that I was writing a blog about Child B and occasionally, a co-worker would talk to me about what I was writing. Most people are curious enough about these stories to ask questions. We were having a conversation about a story and once I started writing again, the lights went off. We looked at one another and I started laughing. She said, "Lisa, it's because you are writing those ghost stories!" LOL! That still makes me laugh to this day. I said, "Yeah, I know. It happens." The lights went off in that room only. The rest of the building had full power because I glanced around the office, but I did not need to do that because I knew it was due to my writing and conversations. Once we recognized what happened, the lights came back on and I just rolled my eyes up to my forehead because, It takes a lot more that that to scare me. I have been scared. Some of the early blogs about Nebulous Children were nerve-wracking at the time of their occurrence. At times, I think back to my experiences and wonder why I was not as afraid as I should have been with Nebulous Children as well as my own paranormal activity. I think I was not as afraid because I can recall how comforting most of the kids were about their ability to see ghosts. In particular, how they could see God's angels around us when we worked together. Tell me that's not comforting?! 2) Comforting is what an angel was doing to me when I was upset one day. I sat on my steps and cried. I was deeply angry toward a few "friends" who betrayed me. We had been friends for many years, and I ended the relationships permanently, When people are not good for you, it is time to remove them from your life. I did which still hurt, but it was a necessary move to decrease my anger. As I cried, I felt something next to me and it touched me. It touched the left side of my face, and I clearly felt it. I actually looked around the staircase for my husband, but he was not home. I was home alone. The next day, I tried to ask Child B's mother about it and she told me that I did not have to tell her about it, she already knew. She said it was my angel comforting me by letting me know that she was next to me for healing. That was awesome! She said, I told you she would reveal herself to you. She did show herself to me, a few times... 3) I was at work in a building alone in the fall. It was dark early, and the building was scary in the dark to me. I had to close the building down which meant ensuring that all of the lights were off and the doors were locked. It was dead quiet, and I never liked being alone in this building at all because it was creepy. I was in the kitchen turning off coffee pots and etc., and I felt a wind move past me as if something ran past me. I turned around and just kept preparing myself to leave from work. I was pretty good at ignoring paranormal activity most likely because, It kept happening. Which meant that I adjusted to it and just normalized it. However, I would always talk about them with others and as I walked down the steps to leave the building, the same wind happened again. I left the building, looked outside and across the street, and there was the homeless man turning around smiling at me while he searched the trashcan. Remember him from earlier blogs? He waved at me. I looked at the other building next door because I wanted to see what kept running past me. No luck. However, the curtain moved on the 2nd floor and at that point, I made a mad dash to my car. Screw that paranormal activity! The homeless man's face changed when that curtain moved, as he looked up there which is why I felt like it was time to go! The curtain moved on the 2nd floor of building two. Recall, that was the building where all of the kids said a demon was in there; one who did not like me, and with the homeless man's face changing - that was enough for me for that day. (laughing) I left and did not discuss that with my family. Actually, I am unsure if I told anyone about this story because every now and then, they creep me out too. However, the next day I went back to work and some of the kids told me that when I am alone in the building, the "Little Ghost Boy" wants my attention. He runs past me, but I am heavily guarded which is why I am not really alone. The demon was in the 2nd building was there and he moved the curtain. It was a warning, according two the kids. 4) Dreams. I have plenty of them. Some of you are dreamers too. As far back as I can recall, I have always been a dreamer. I have dreams about my friends, their children, lives, and future events. I just had a dream about a college friend of mine and her child, but I will never tell her about it. Periodically, I have recurrent dreams as well. I will share one today, and then another one next week. It had to talk to my mother to help resolve this dream. I wondered if she had any ideas about it, or memories that could help me to understand it. For years, and I mean years, I dreamed that I was in a mansion and inside of a bedroom with blue carpet in it. The '70s homes were very colorful, and this room had an ocean blue rug with the bed facing me but to my left. There was a little boy there who would always sit on the rug with me. He would play and talk to me. This was not someone that I met in person who passed on, but a person that was unknown to me. This a dream that would happen to me periodically, but one day I told my mother about it. It was so real to me, and I wanted answers. Little did I know... I call my mother everyday to talk to her and see how she is doing, when I cannot see her in person. My mother is my BFF, and I tell her everything. One day I described the scene to her, but I also mentioned that the staircase was grand and made of cherry wood - beautiful. This was definitely a unique home feature, and the staircase also had a large victorian-looking rug in the middle of it by the windows. My mom told me that it was the mansion where her aunt and uncle lived in, and that they babysat me when I was little. She said, Lisa, one day when I came to pick you up, I saw you talking to something. That something was a "Little Ghost Boy," and you were two were playing together. She said, I saw the ghost. I immediately prayed it away and I also asked God to removed your visions and/or your ability to see ghosts. It was obvious that you could see them because you were playing with him. She said, I think he wants you to remember him which is why the dream is recurring. However, those are demons, and I did not want you playing with demons as a child. I demanded it to go away in prayer, and it did. Whoa...I did not expect that answer from my mom. I do have some memories of that mansion. Nevertheless, I never had the dream again, nor can I see ghosts. Was I a Nebulous Child too? |
