Sky.. The photo made me think of an old post I made on Mufon. Gee about three years ago, I think. You know about the house I grew up in and ancestors with phenomena around them. This is one of the stories.. My parents purchased a house when I was nine months old.. they lived in it for exactly 50 years.. An old lady lived next door, her husband fought in the civil war. Will get back to her later. My brother told of a sighting he had once while in bed upstairs. He said Lois was upstairs by herself last night, I seen her, but her face was a mess. From his bed he could see out into the hall. there was a girl with long Blond hair passing by in the hall. He said she stopped and turned his way. This is when he see her face was badly hurt. I was only three at the time.. I was not allowed up on the dark stairwell.. When I was in my teens our neighbor Mrs Stevens, whom must of been about 90 years old in the forties. She lived to be 100 years old.. She told my Mother years later after John had seen this little girl. You know Mrs Baker your house caught on fire about 1910. My Mother told her yes I know, the up story was burned bad. Mrs Stevenson continued with Too bad about the little girl who was trapped up in it.. My Mother was frozen. She ask what did she look like. Mrs Stevens replied, she had beautiful Blonde hair very long. Was this what John witness. He said once she went into his closet, but he ran downstairs scared out of his wits...There was nothing in the closet when my Dad went and checked. Now the attic lead up from this closet. and many times we heard noise from the attic also the walls. I experience this for ten years in my own room.. My Mother always told us it was squirrels.. Ha We had a crazy house but we did not move.. there was 13 of us, enough to fight the spirits with I guess. Oh by the way, the neighbor when taken to a nursing home finally, they found a money belt around her waist, it contained $25,000.00. My Mother was always giving her things she needed, a Sunday dinner every week . she used gray holey dish towels and her linen draw had beautiful thinks in it.. I seen it once when she opened it. Her ghost is another story.. ;D ;D ;D Lois.. I keep forgetting to put Lois.. ;D

Note , the day after my parents left this house and moved to a small house just meant for the two of them, it burned to the ground. It was within a week and no one was living in it.. We all guess the ghost did not like us leaving it.. they did not want anyone else there maybe. Wonder where they took up residents ??

After Mrs Steven passed, the state was going to sell everything in the house. It was to be on Saturday.
My brother and his two friends went into her shed which attached to her back porch, a tiny room she never used. This led into the kitchen.. They went to the other door inside the shed which they could see the porch and kitchen door, here was Mrs Stevens in Ghost form for sure.. she had her skeleton key and was unlocking the kitchen door, then once in the tiny room she turned toward the door to the shed.
My brother and his friends flew out into the backyard and he ran into our Kitchen where my Mom was screaming,Mrs Stevens is unlocking the doors. My Mom of course did not believe him.
Next morning the auction people come to our door and ask my Mother, did you see anyone going in or out of your neighbors home yesterday. She told them no, why? They said the front door was unlocked and the kitchen and back porch to the shed..
They absolutely sure they had locked it up when they were through in her house getting ready for the sale.. My Mother did not say a word..
I lost this brother two months ago.. He was ten years old back then. He seen ufos and witness aliens twice. Had lots of phenomena surrounding him all his life, this was about when it all began with him.
I did believe most of the stories he told.. I was never with him. but he had the deep line circles cutting so deep his ankles bled. It happen over night.. waking up one morning.. I had just knocked on his door for coffee. I could not believe what I was seeing.. same marks on a Bud Hopkins case.abductee..
He won't see any disclosure with these beings or answers to the ghost he had seen .. which made it so sad..
Lois

This reminds me of a little girl ghost I saw whenever I was little. I was maybe 12 and woke up in the middle of the night to see a little girl standing in my room. She had long brown hair and I could see her back. In the mirror I could see the front of her. She was dressed like for Easter and she had on a white hat. Her white dress had a blue ribbon tied around the waist and trailed in the back. She had on patent white leather shoes. She was looking at herself in the mirror. I fell right back to sleep but I was always having things moved around in my room. Thank you for reminding me. I never got an eerie feeling from her....

"I never got an eerie feeling from her...." harmony
This statement is interesting to me. Most shows or videos about ghosts or presences suggest that the being is stuck because they are lost (maybe difficult to deal with) beings who simply need to "go to the light" and leave people alone.
More interesting to me are stories or even fiction in which the ghost or presence enriches the lives of the people who can perceive them. The movie Lovely Bones was of this category - she had unfinished business and "hung around" both to watch over her family and also because she loved them. Her little brother's pictures of his dreams were not frightening to him and the experience her young first love had "with her" was not sinister either.
The presences I have sensed did not come in malice. I sensed a compassion from the ones who were my friends. I just got an email from a daughter of my one time best friend (deceased). She said that when she gets blue her Mom "sends" people to her. I asked what she meant - "Oh like you or.....". Even the old lady who lived in our old house (and had to put up with us moving in) was kind to a 4 year old visitor one Xmas eve and read her stories. Initially the house was frightening - I started to do a book inspired banishing ritual. Half-way through I thought - this is stupid and disrespectful. Anyone here was here before us and possibly is unhappy with US. So I sat and spoke that at times I felt frightened and didn't want to live like that. Nor did I want to "kick out" the spirit or whatever - I felt that was disrespectful. After a while I decided we were done. Things shifted subtly after that. Although that house was more "active" than subsequent homes it was also the source of interesting experiences.
PS. The presence was an old woman.
We humans often scare ourselves. We're scared of some things that we probably should be - but also of things and events that could be quite wondrous if we could just be present. I just saw a show on Tasmanian devils (small fierce marsupial predators). A woman has devoted her life to tracking their populations (and possible decline). When she takes them out of her life trap (she checks their blood and general health and weight) there are some that she "cuddles". They lay in her arms, seemingly at ease for several moments. She said, "she could turn and hurt me". But that was not what happened. There are people who swim with great white sharks (on purpose). People who live with grizzy bears (I believe one ended up eaten eventually). Personal safety is a personal matter.
If one is experiencing unpleasantness in a location or evidence of actual meddling - the cats won't come in the house, things are broken....maybe a defensive stance (and house blessing) is in order. If not....?

I have never experienced a ghost or anything like it.. I have seen many other things not explainable.
Like a beautiful swan coming down out of the sky toward are back yard. Next thing I know my brother and i was out in the yard. He ask me where the swan went. I ask him did you see it?
I was in the house looking out the window. I did not see him at all. He says he was in the yard. Not when I was looking out the window.. I do not know how I got outside. or where he come from. but it was like something strange to me like maybe dream, but later he ask me the same question.. I have ask many times on these forums.. Has there ever been a screen memory with an encounter of a swan.??..

Another beautiful post paulette. "personal safety is a personal matter". This is soo true. Lois, the swan thing sounds interesting. I've read a lot about owls and such things as that, but I haven't come across a swan story. And good job on moving the post Auntym. ~applauds~

I have heard stories of abductees reporting swans as screen memories. I think there was one account in John Mack's book Abduction, but I would have to read it again to know for sure.

Oh Sky.. Now I've got goosebumps right now just reading what you said.
Wow!! and I man Wow!. this was sixty years ago..
I knew as a child something was not right about it. But did not think of it much after I married, but when I got abducted in 72 and was standing under that ship, my mind was like seeing my whole life pass in front of me. All things that had a happen in the past I did not understand come to me this very second.. Even the swam, but at the time I had never heard of screen memories. Only that something happened I did not remember..
I was not scared like I have stated many times I was too busy being mad at the time, realizing the truth was a big relief but hated them for hiding it from me... But the answer came in a way that caused many more problems.
Like Budd always said, I don't have the privilege of not knowing anymore. It was sort of like that. I have never seen a swan mentioned once..but knew this night it was them, there was no swan.. and yet my brother seen it too. Does this mean he has maybe had encounters he does not remember.?
Wait till I tell him this if you can find it I will tell him. He does not believe me not all of it anyway.. He has always said "Oh those carpet sweeper flying around?..Yes a few in the 50s did resemble a canister type vacuum sweeper.. lol Now this is not my youngest brother I have talked about so much with his encounters
Thanks for the replies all of you

This unbelieving brother was the one with me when he was three and we seen the sun rolling over the cemetery which stopped right over our heads. He was too young he does not remember it either. It scared us to death, we ran home and our Mother told us it was a meteorite.. Well, what was we suppose to believe? Our Mother knew everything ..
We did not know what a meteorite was either ;D we believed her anyway and let it go, but I never forgot it..
