My old home in Philadelphia was a very spiritual place. Many times, when I was home alone, I would hear little children running up and down my steps, laughing and playing. My carin terrier was not very fond of these spirits that roamed around within my home. She would bark at the steps, the fireplace, the left hand closet and the rocking chair. It all seemed to form a triangle. Which I finally realized a couple years after we had moved away from our home.

One Christmas morning I was up around 4:00. I do not know what woke me up so early, and I was too old to get excited about Santa Clause. I felt a nudge pushing me to go downstairs. As I entered our living room I felt a little chill breeze across my body. With my teeth chattering I walked over to the television and turned it on. I then proceeded to turn on the tree lights. I sat down on the couch and began watching television. I felt someone around me, almost as if they were holding me. I said aloud ," Eddie if you are hear give me a sign." ( eddie is my deceased brother ). My head practically moved itself , along with my eyes to look in the direction of my fireplace. I saw the coals, that had been completely black when I first entered my living room, become a smoldering red. A little fire then started up. I do not remember what happened in between the time of the fire starting and everyone waking up. That is as if it has been erased from my memory.

My dear old best friend and I were playing down in her basement. We were just playing around like every other 8th grader. Her mother had these pictures on the wall that had been stuck there for 7 years. Something decided to play a joke upon us. I was writing on her chalk board, our names and that we would be best friends forever. All of a sudden the pictures came flying off the wall and smashing on the floor. I felt my face drain of blood and I couldn't move. It was a good thing that she had the strength for the both of us. She kept calling to me and finally came to pick me up so we could run upstairs. A half an hour later we decided to risk it. We went back down and I picked up the chalk board. I began to place other girls names in her slot. Nothing would happen. As soon as I put her name there, the papers that were inside the frames flew up in the air. We never went back down there again.

The Oujia Board. If you use it correctly--It DOES work! No matter what anyone might tell you. My friends and I use to play with that game almost everyday. Our fingers would be a half an inch above the mover and it was like a magnet. Somehow, My best friend and I conjured up something evil. It said it's name was Ethan. Now this is before the actor Ethan Hawke even came out, This name back then was never heard of. It was extremely rare. Around us anyway. We believe that Ethan was the same spirit to do the pictures, stating in the story before. Ethan followed us throughout the rest of the summer, and sometimes in and out of our lives for the next few years. Later that night, I walked home in the dark, I was scared, don't get me wrong, but my friend was watching me, I had to hold my pride. I walked in my door and the tv was on. It was some sort of cowboy and Indian movie and the first words I heard were, " Ethan hold it , right there!." You can just guess what I was thinking. Why of all the times that I watch tv, I never hear that name? But yet after today I hear it? The phone rang instantly and it was her crying. She was very scared. She wanted to sleep over. But after I told her what I had encountered she changed her mind.

Many of the spirits that I do see are usually around nighttime. I can see the outline of their bodies. The outline is like white smoke. Usually they can be viewed by a soft light shining on them, such as a light from a street coming into your window at night. The last one I saw was my grandfather. This was a few weeks after he had died. It was around 12 at night and I was listening to music. I had the lights off. I turned around to see him standing in front of my thermostat. On my front door there is this side panel that is just glass, and the light from outside was giving him away. I knew it was him, because if I don't get scared, it is someone I know. And the only person I know with his tall . skinny figure was him.

The last time I felt a spirit, was just two months ago. It was my fiancee's father. He had died and a whole bunch of family came down to pay their respects. After a week everyone left. I went into his room. They had moved a couch in place of where his bed was ( where he died ). They kept the cross on the wall. I sat down on the couch to the left of the cross. I felt really sad. scared in a sense, helpless. I think I was feeling what he was his last 2 days. He knew he was dying. An angel had visited him to tell him to get ready. The angel I have a feeling was a she, She either asked him or told him who was coming to get him. That whole day he called and called to his Uncle. He must have found his uncle and that's when he took his last breath. I started crying, And I felt him put his arms around me and rock me to comfortness.

I have spirits all around me as well as guardian angels. I hear them, I see them, I feel them. They give me a sign when someone I know is going to die. I do not ever know who is dying though, that's the sad thing. They have made my blinds move rapidly, Made my bedroom door sound like someone was trying to get out of there, They have made my dishes rattle, my house shake, my daughters fan crash on the floor , in the middle of the night. They are everywhere and believe me when I say, they can see you, talk to you and hear you. The reason they may scare you is because they get really aggravated, just as you would because they cannot hold a conversation with you. They would never hurt you on purpose. They are 99% safe.
