caleb’s words to “please don’t try this for yourselves”

So, the last time we went into the Old Police Station I had a bit of a scary experience that really rattled me for the rest of the night. I decided to try an experiment; I got the rest of the group to leave me in the court room on my own where I went into a deep state of meditation to see if it would help open me up to communication with the spirits residing there. While in that state, I experience a sort of attack which could have ended a lot worse than it did, luckily my mother (Beverley) was able to notice that something was wrong and they managed to pull me out of the meditation. (I believe this is not a recommended thing to do when someone is in meditation, but it was a serious problem.

Before I even got myself into a deep state of meditation, while mum and Jordan were setting up the camera and other equipment to record what happens, I was getting agitated at them taking so long. I have no idea why, but I remember just wanting them to hurry up and leave me to it. Not long after they left, I could tell things did not seem too good and I instantly thought it was a bad idea. However, when I tried to pull myself back out of the meditation, I was unable to do so. It was like someone was stopping me from pulling myself out, as if someone was trying to control me. I could still hear everything that was going on around me, and I was trying to call out to mum to help. I knew that she would be the best one to help and the most likely to realise something was wrong, but I couldn’t even call out for help. It was as if I was frozen in the chair I was sat in, unable to control my own body and unable to free myself from this meditation. Not long after that, I could hear the others in the group walk back into the room. I was trying to get them to help me, I could hear them whispering to each other and asking if I was ok. Mum was getting worried about me, but they said they’re not meant to pull me out of it I’m meant to pull me out of it. I was trying to scream at them, to tell them to help me and get me out of it but I was still incapable of moving. I felt as if I was fighting for my own body, as if I was trying to push someone else out. I was absolutely terrified at this point.

I was trying to get them to help, but I could hear Jordan and dad say that I was probably ok and I would pull myself out of it. I continued trying to tell them I wasn’t ok and I needed help, I honestly thought that I was in serious trouble at this point, until I finally heard mum say to get me out of it because something was wrong. I heard them call my name to try and help me, and I continued trying to basically fight for my body. They finally managed to get me out of it as dad shone a torch in my eyes a couple of times.

Once I was out of it, I sat for a minute or so then tried to stand up, slightly disorientated. I felt off balance, but then I just had to get out of that room. I walked to the kitchen, where mum dad and Jordan ended up following me to and I didn’t tell them what had happened straight away. I was terrified and wasn’t entirely sure what had happened myself to start off with. I began to get really upset, and I walked out the front where mum came to speak to me and I told her what had happened and how terrified I was. I told her that id been trying to call out for her to help, but no one seemed to be able to hear me. Mum then told me that she thought she heard me calling out, but that Jordan and dad hadn’t heard anything. I explained to mum that was why I was trying to call for her to help because I knew she was the most likely to be able to help.

She filled me in on what she had seen, but that part I will let you hear from her side…

Cop or JERK

We had a police officer come into the court house we thought it would be good to use him as a trigger object see if we could stir things up a bit, well the police officer was a good sport and walked around but things died instead of heating up, but afterwards Caleb & myself went into one of the cells and we were talking about how everything had died, to be precise I was about to say since the  police officer was here, but it seemed other resident that couldn’t be seen had other ideas so just listen and see what they called the police officer.

All opinions shared were from the dead and not from us.

The scream

This is not something that happened on one of our investigations, but was actually an experience I had when I and a mate went to a graveyard one night. We were with a couple of girls, and at the time we only had two cameras which didn’t even have night vision. So you can imagine it was pretty hard to record anything, however nothing happened the entire time we were there. Not even a feeling or anything, but that all changed right as we were leaving the cemetery. It was one of those, life changing experiences that you can’t really explain in words no matter how hard you try, you kind of had to be there. But I’m going to try my best to describe what exactly it was that happened. Unfortunately however, we had already turned our cameras off as we had gotten nothing for the whole time we were there, so we were actually leaving at the time. I now know that turning the cameras off before we had actually left was a big mistake, and had I known what was about to happen I would have made sure that my mate had left his camera on recording as well so we could catch it on both cameras. We all heard what happened with our own ears, but as I said, it is going to be hard to explain and describe fully.

Well, here goes anyway. As I said, we had been wondering around one of the local cemeteries with a couple of girls. (Trying to give them a fright of course). But what we heard sent shivers down our spines as well. We didn’t record it unfortunately, but we certainly heard it. Right as we were about to hop over the fence to head back to the car and leave, there was a loud, gut wrenching scream. You could hear fear and pain in this scream, and it was unlike anything I had ever heard before. You could hear that it came from within the graveyard, and it sent shivers down our spines. All four of us heard this scream, it was as clear as day, incredibly loud. This happened probably 3 years ago now, and even to this day, just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. I can hear the scream in my head clearly, 3 years later, and when it plays in my head it brings tears to my eyes. Just because of the thought of the fear and pain that was in the scream, the horror to the sound of it. However, I had not been on any official investigations at this stage, and I had no idea what to do about it.

All night we had wanted something to happen, but we never imagined that we would hear anything like that. Honestly, I didn’t think I would ever hear anything like that in my life. But as I said, I didn’t know what to do at this stage. But the fear in the scream was enough to put the fear into us, and we jumped over the fence and got out of there. We were all shocked at what we had heard, and none of us could explain it. I know that if it happened to me now while I was out, whether with friends or on an official investigation, I would be running over to where the scream came from to see if I could communicate with whoever it was no matter what the others with me said. But at that stage, I was new to actually seeking out the paranormal.

When this scream happened, we all quickly turned and we all looked in the exact same direction. I’m sure if I had seen my mates face at the time he would have had the same look as I did, a look of horror. We were all shocked, and none of us really knew what to even say about it. I asked if they heard the same thing as I did, the girl’s voices were shaky and my mate just said that he had heard it as well. But I realised after I asked that we were all looking in the same direction, which just made me realise even more that I had really heard this scream. The girls had never actually had an experience to do with ghosts or the paranormal before, this was their first time and it certainly made them believers. But I can not truly describe this scream; I can only say it was a horrifying, gut wrenching scream full of fear and pain.

We were meant to head to another place after this, but by the time we got to the other place we all too shaken up to even step foot into there. We got as far as the entrance before we turned back to the car, all because of this scream. I only wish I could catch it again, with the proper recording devices this time and try to find out who caused it and why. Looking back on it now, I believe they were trying to get our help. They had probably been doing this the entire time we were there, but we were too amateur to notice it. Could this have been one last desperate attempt to get our attention? I can’t answer this question now, and every time I go back to this cemetery I get nothing. Even with the experience and knowledge I now have, (which I will admit is very little compared to a lot of paranormal investigators), I get no responses with any of the proper equipment at that cemetery. I hear nothing, I see nothing and I feel nothing at that cemetery. I only wish I could capture the scream on a recording so that I could let you all understand, because it still gives me the chills and sends shivers down my spine thinking about it. I can still hear it clear as day in my head, but it was one of those once in a life time experiences.

This experience, it was life changing. It is also half the reason I have to continued investigating the paranormal, because it has filled me with questions I want answers to. Although at the time it filled me with horror and fear, (come to think of it, it still fills me with horror and fear thinking about it right now), but it also left me with an overwhelming feeling of being needed. So I will continue investigating, I will continue searching to find out who this scream came from and why. I truly hope that one day I can find the person and communicate with them, to help them and hopefully free their spirit which is obviously in great pain.

My-encounter

I had been with the paranormal group for a couple months when I noticed strange noises around my house. I’d only been on one investigation and two cemetery trips at that point and I wasn’t too sure what I was seeing and hearing. For most of the week while doing my studying, I was home alone and heard various strange things around the house. As I didn’t have much training at all at that stage, I brushed off everything that happened until I told Caleb about it, he then told me that it was possible there was a spirit in my house.
After my first investigation, I woke numerous times during that night to the sound of voices talking. I of course assumed that I was just being paranoid and brushed it off. A month or so later, I was on the phone to Caleb late one night and I heard a ‘shh’ sound. I was convinced that it came through the phone and I asked if he heard it or made the sound and he said no. After we got off the phone, not even 5 minutes later, I heard it again – seemed like someone was telling me to be quiet and go to bed.
After that it was quiet for a while. Then suddenly I was picking up more paranormal things that were happening in my house. One time I could hear the gravel out the front of the house, like someone was walking on it but when I looked there was no one around. I always got the shivers or felt cold very suddenly while sitting at my desk doing my study. One day I was listening to a recording my teacher had made for our assignment when over the top of the quiet sound of her voice, not through my headphones, I heard a male voice say my name. At night time when all my family members were home, I’d see a dark figure by the front door while walking down the hallway. I only saw the figure twice, it was like a quick flash of an image. You could see it but you could slightly feel it as well, even though I am not very sensitive to the paranormal yet. The first time I saw a girl sitting down with her head leaning against her knees, like she was upset. The second time I saw her standing but I saw more of her head then the rest of her body. I only saw the dark figure of her, enough to know that she was in fact a girl.
Caleb and I actually brought the equipment through one day while the house was quiet. When we went over the recordings, we discovered someone named Graham. Although this didn’t fit with what I was seeing so we believed that there were two spirits, a girl and a boy. Although over the past month it has been quiet around my house, I’ve tried to contact them but I haven’t heard much at all. Although one day a couple weeks ago I did hear someone in the kitchen, twice but of course no one was there when I checked.
For me being introduced to the paranormal is quite exciting and I love hearing about all the encounters the group members have had with spirits. I look forward to going on many more investigations and maybe hearing of your experiences with the paranormal.

When the dead come calling.

Just recently my uncle passed away he was the last of my mum’s siblings and it made me start thinking back to when my aunt passed away, and my boys were still young.
I could feel my aunt was around, in fact both my aunts and other family around me, couldn’t see them but could feel them, it felt comforting.
Anyway I went into my youngest sons bedroom to make sure he still had his blankets on, he wasn’t quite asleep & he looked up at me and asked me who all the people with me were.  (So at least I know I was right).  He said there were a lot of shadow people around me, so I decided even though he was so young that I would tell him the truth, so I explained how his nanas sister had passed away and that she never got to meet him or his brother and that she had come to see them bringing other family with her and they were just saying hi.  He said Oh ok and slowly falling into a deep sleep, quite happy with the explanation.
So don’t be afraid to be honest with your kids about family members passing away and coming to visit , walk them around graveyards, talk to them about people passing on, they will be less afraid knowing that than what their imaginations will come up with.
Also this will teach them to respect graveyards and those resting there and not to be afraid.

Spirits Move objects

Caleb was on night petrol when he came home he asked an interesting question.
“How do ghost move solid objects through solid walls”.
He said that the night before, that he had patrolled a building inside and the outside of a business, then he went to the door and wrote out a docket using his torch to see, (he did not remember putting the torch down on the ground but must of).   And then he left.
He got back home and realised that his torch was not with him so he turned around and drove back to where he had last used it.
He walked over to the place he had left the docket which was still there so no one had disturbed it, he started to look around the building thinking maybe he dropped it, then  as he was walking around he glanced up and there inside the building was his very large torch sitting on the desk inside the building.
This building is armed with an alarm & because there are no pets the building is also armed with motion sensors, neither had gone off as these are monitored, and no call came through, the door was still sealed with the docket so no one had entered the building.
So neither alarm nor motion sensors were triggered, and the door still had the docket in the door.  So his torch went through a locked door with security and sensors and placed on the desk without setting anything off, no call came through to say the building had been disturbed.
Me I don’t know how a solid object goes through solid doors or walls, so I thought I’d put the question out there and see what answers come back.
So please comment or send us a message or email us, we would like to hear your answers & ideas or stories of what have happened to you.  please don’t be shy about your experiences, you might be shocked at how many other people have had similar experiences so please let’s hear from you.
