Re: ghostly goings on 2 the return

This story is from someone who lived in the same area we live in.

------

My wife and I thought it might be fun to start “hunting” for ghost. We did a few hunts around our small town in North/Central Texas with a tape recorder and a $15.00 35mm camera. That low cost camera really turned out to be a great camera and we have caught many things on film with it including our most famous photo titled “The Lady In Black and The Little Boy Too”. I also photographed my wife standing in the cab of an old steam engine locomotive and there is a man standing right in front of her.

Not long after, we relocated to Galveston Island, Texas. We and our daughter rented a house on the west end of the island and the fun began. From the moment we moved in, I knew that we were not alone.

As I sat on the couch in the living room watching television, my wife was in our bedroom folding clothes and watching the television in our bedroom. She asked me from the bedroom if there was anything wrong with the television. I told her no and she told me that the sound was going up and down on the bedroom television. This went on for many days with only that television.

As we laid in bed one night, we both looked out our bedroom door into the kitchen to see a dark shadow figure moving around in our kitchen. From that night, the really strange began. Every night we saw this shadow figure moving around in the kitchen.

One night, as I sat on the couch, I saw out of the corner of my eye someone walk behind me. I spun around thinking it was my wife trying to frighten me but, no one was there.

I called out to her to get a response from the bedroom. I told her what I had seen and she said that she had seen the shadow figure just a few minutes before in the kitchen.

It was about 5:30am when I woke from my sleep to see a dark figure of a woman standing beside my side of the bed. I never moved nor said a word. I just lay there and looked at this woman. This seemed to last forever but it was only a matter of seconds. She turned and walked out of our room into the kitchen and vanished.

I did not wake my wife but told her later what I had seen.
A few weeks had passed with out seeing this shadow figure when as we dressed for work in the early morning, the living room television turned on and the volume grew louder and louder. We were both frightened but not surprised. My wife went to the living room and turned the television off.

I wanted so much to photograph and record inside the house but I knew if I caught something, we would be packing up.

About a month later, my wife told me that she wanted to move. It was not because of the house but because we lived about 15 miles from the main area of Galveston Island and it was really just too far out for us.

There is nothing in our current home but everyone knows the history of this island and knows of the many deaths here.

On September 8, 1900, the island was struck by a major hurricane killing over 6000 people. Again in 1915, the island was struck again with over 400 lives lost and there have been others since then.

Galveston Island is indeed haunted and almost everywhere you go on this small island, you are not alone.

Re: ghostly goings on 2 the return

Not hauntings, but I have had a couple of odd instances.

One night shortly after I fell asleep a man entered my bedroom. He was in a hospital gown and extremely thin and bald. I didn't recognize him, had no idea who it was. He started walking toward my bed. My husband was in the living room reading at the time.

As the man approached my bed he got within a foot of me and I screamed bloody murder. My husband came into the room and turned the light on, the man disappeared.

For 3 years I never understood this dream. Then we got a call that my fatherinlaw was stricken with cancer. It took us a couple of months before we went for a visit. When we walked into the hospital I was in complete shock. There lied the man in my dream. I was so upset I pulled my husband out in the hallway and told him. He remembered me having the dream and neither of us could believe it.

Another time, a few years after my grandfather passed away I saw him at the foot of my bed. We had moved to Texas before he died. I never made it to his funeral since we could't afford it at the time.

I called my Mom and told her and she said "he died on this exact day, 3 years ago". The date of his death wasn't something I ever made a mental note of or so I thought.

Re: ghostly goings on 2 the return

I never saw anything, but I used to have one that liked to slam the doors shut in my old shop...

It's quite an old building and many business have come and gone from there.. It's been everything from a Bar(right next to a ***** house), to a grocery store, to an appliance repair joint.. For a time, there was an old crack pot that lived in there who may have died there (i could never confirm that), I think his spirt still roams the place...

The Dolphin Inn, Penzance

Standing on the quayside, the Dolphin Inn was used by Sir John Hawkins when enlisting local Cornishmen to fight the Spanish Armada, in 1588. The infamous Judge Jeffreys is said to have held one of his equally infamous courts there, and in the cellars there are still reminders of the prisoners that were held in custody before attending his "Bloody Assizes". It was also the local haunt of smugglers and was used as a hiding place for illicit spirits and wines. In the 1960's, two casks of brandy were found hidden in the cellars from those far-off days, and were found to be still in good condition.

Penzance was the first port of call for ships making their way from the New World to England and it is almost certain that the first pipe of tobacco to be smoked in this country was smoked at the Dolphin.

There are two ghosts at the inn. One is that of an old English sea-captain, in lace ruffles and three-cornered hat, who is said to have died there. The second is the ghost of a fair-haired young man, who fell to his death from the loft to the cellars in February, 1873. Both have been seen, but more frequently heard at the inn.

St Ives

One day the port of St Ives was aroused by the sound of horns and distress rockets coming from the westward of St Ives Head. Local fishermen launched their boat and proceeded towards the spot from where the sounds had come from. They reached the stricken vessel and noticed that, to their astonishment, her masts and rigging were covered with ice and there was nobody visible on deck. When they hailed her there was no reply.

The man in the bows of the St Ives boat stood up and tried to grasp the side of the ship, but as soon as he touched it the vessel vanished, leaving the man grasping at thin air, and only the presence of mind of another member of the crew saved him from falling into the sea and being swept away.

The men returned to St Ives convinced that they had gone to the aid of a phantom vessel. Shortly afterwards, they again heard the sound of horns and distress rockets. This time it was a real ship, the Neptune, an outward bound vessel from London, and to the amazement of the fishermen, it was identical to the ship that they had previously rowed out to and had vanished so mysteriously when it had been touched. The Neptune was wrecked in exactly the same spot where the original encounter had taken place. In some strange way the men had witnessed a spectre of the future, rather than a spectre of the past. The phantom ship has been seen since at St Ives Head, always before a local sea disaster.
