Death Grip
Hi! My whole familyon both my mother and father's side seem to be magnets forspirits. Every one of my relatives have either seen or feltsomething that they could not explain. We used to sit around andshare our experiences with one another. I have had many differentexperiences myself. I seem to be extremely sensitive. I can gointo a house and tell if it has some spirit and can even tell ifit is friendly or not.
Anyway, the one that I wish to relate to you is the one thatstands out most in my mind -- not only because I had very directcontact with t he spirit, but because it was the only one thatwas definitely NOT benevolent. First a little background ofprevious experiences from others in my family.
Since before I was born my grandparents on my father's side livedin this old stone two-story house that was haunted. At nightheavy footsteps could be heard upstairs walking around. Cold windwould blow upstairs even when noone was there and the rotaryphone upstairs would dial all by itself. (That used to reallyfreak me out!) I hated to be in that house by myself because Ialways felt a horrible presence. My mother once saw a large manthat looked just like the previous owner staring at her as shewalked down the stairs. (My mother didn't believe in such things,but after this...) An old woman who was presumed to be his wifewas also seen on several occasions. It was said that sheabsolutely HATED children when she was alive. My cousin when shewas about 11 felt an unknown force try to strangle her! She neverset foot back into that house.
Now to my own experience. When I was 10 years old, we lived only2 houses down, so in the summer I would go swimming a lot in thepool with my other 2 cousins. Well, we needed towels so I wentupstairs to the large wardrobe that was in the hallway. As soonas I opened the door and reached for the towels, a horrible coldfeeling came over me (it was 90 degrees outside and they didn'thave air conditioning). Then I felt a hand grab my shoulder andsqueeze very hard, like it was trying to hurt me! I struggled toget free and when I turned around noone was there! Needless tosay I ran down the stairs as fast as my feet could carry me! Ididn't tell anyone because at this time I didn't know the historyof the house or my family. What made me know for sure that itwasn't in my imagination was that I had bruises in the shape of 4fingers on my shoulder and it ached for a few days after.Whatever it was had a death grip on me. After that I would NEVERgo upstairs again witho! ! ut someone with me, and I never againstayed the night. I was very happy when they moved away fromthere!
I have had many experiences since then, but this story is long asit is. If anyone would like to share stories, just email me andI'd be happy to! I am a very firm believer and I keep a very openmind about it!
Thanks for letting me share!
