Not All Experiences Are Good Ones

Not All Experiences Are Good Ones

I was reading about your night you spent at the haunted restaurant in Jefferson, TX. You mentioned that Leslie was with you. You didn't give a last name. Just wondering if by chance it was Leslie (last name removed). Leslie studied the ghosts in my house. <Note: It is the same Leslie>.

This was a weird case for her because my house is pretty new. It was built in 1985 and no one has ever died in the house. I am just the second owner. She felt it was the land my house is on that the ghosts are attracted to for whatever reason. I agree. This was all old farm land before the neighborhood was built. I am up on a little hill which would have been a great place for a family cemetery. I feel either my house sets where another old house was at one time or it sits where the cemetery was.

There is an old man and old woman from the turn of the century that haunt the house and yard. Anyway, I really don't think I ever believed in hauntings until I moved here. As you know, when it happens to you, it makes you a believer real quick. Doors would open by themselves, toilets would flush by themselves, the TV and stereo would come on by themselves or turn off.

My brother lived with me for a while, he witnessed strange things as well the short time he lived here. He moved out pretty quick.....couldn't handle it. He had a neon sign in his room. It would turn on by itself. One night it just kept turning back on so he unplugged it. He woke up later to see it was on again but was still unplugged.

Many times, I would get out of the shower and feel a hand on my back while I was drying off. Once, I even got slapped on the rear but nobody was there. That will freak you out. When Leslie studied my house, she found cold spots as well as some walls the ghosts used as passageways. She agreed that it was two different ghosts.

I did see the lady ghost one night. She was dressed in a very long dress, her hair tightly curled. She walked in my room...right up to my bed, looked at me like she was trying to figure out why I was there while at the same time, I am trying to figure out why she is here. She just looked at me for a few seconds then turned around and walked back out of the room. When she got to the doorway, she turned around once more and smiled....then vanished.

I also heard the man and woman talking one night. I couldn't make out the words because it was like a whisper, but I could tell it was a man and woman talking to each other.

I woke up one night to see the whole room glowing. It was like everything was covered with glitter. That same night, when the room stopped glowing, a light flew across my ceiling. It was like a shooting star. The room was freezing during all of this also.

There were just a few times I felt threatened. All of the other things that happened, it seemed like they were just playing around. However, once as I was going to go downstairs, just as I took my first step down, something grabbed my ankle and tried to trip me. I would have fallen but I grabbed the rail and held myself up. I didn't just trip on the step, I felt a hand grab my ankle and pull.

The only other time I felt like there was evil here, Me and a friend of mine was watching TV. I heard a very loud noise in the garage. It was like something heavy fell. I didn't use my garage at all to park in. It was just used as storage and was always locked.

I went out to the garage and as I opened the door, I saw something run across the floor. It was big and furry. I didn't get a good look at it because it was so fast. It went behind some boxes and hid. I went back in to get my friend. I knew something was wrong about it right away because it had been months since the garage door had been opened. I just knew that no stray cat got in there or anything like that.

We went back out there and this thing was on the top shelf looking down at us. It was like a cat but bigger. It had fangs more like a mountain lion or something. It's whole body was shaved except for his head and tail. The head had real long hair and the tail was very long with very long hair. I don't know what it was but it was very mad. It started growling and showing teeth. I know it sounds crazy. It was crazy. I had never seen anything like it. I unlocked the garage door and opened it. The thing jumped off of the shelf and ran out of the garage.

We locked the garage back up, went back in the house and right in the middle of the floor of the living room was a huge frog. This wasn't one of the big toads you see in your yard after a big rain. This thing was bright green with a pointed nose. It had real long back legs with huge webbed feet. This was some kind of swimming frog. We kicked that frog to the door and kicked him out in the yard. I didn't know what to think about that night.

Two very strange things....and happening right after each other. I know this is going to sound crazy but something had to of taking the form of whatever that thing was in the garage. I don't want to think that but it has to be what happened. Then it did again when we went back in the house. How could a frog like that get in the house? And it is a heck of a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the ugly thing in the garage.
