Ok I am on the computer so I will try and type fast. lol My personal stories arent toooo many but my mama has 100's that are all my favs to hear over and over again. Let me start with the little I have. First my wedding party/reception wasd being held at my cousins house who he has always said was haunted. We were talking bout it cuz we all are so into that stuff and we were sitting at the bar listening to the bartender friend telling us her story when the blender turned on completely by itself. Yes it is electrical so there is your skeptics "out" BUT there were 4 of us sitting there and it was timed so right that we all jumped. My other cousin (brother of the homeowner) had passed a couple years before so we think it was him messing with us. Totally something he would do. Fast forward to us in our first home, after having Sierra (first born baby). Ever since she came we have had stuff happen, little random things and most you could say are ok, electrical. BUT not all. Toys go off randomly. One was so awful it would go off, then repeat over and over for up to a half hour at a time, back to back to back. ANNOYING! I would get mad at it and tell it to stop. Most the time it happened when Sierra was asleep, like to say "Hey, come and play." We let those batteries die. haha There are more toys but that was the most annoying of them all. lol. The most real thing that has happened tho was back at the same time, when Sierra was under a year. I was getting ready to go somewhere and I had given her a banana in her high chair and pushed her to the bathroom so I could be sure she didnt choke. I was in my bathroom and she was facing me just out the door, in the hallway. Well our master bedroom doorway is right there so my husband who was getting ready in there could see her completely from the side. Anyhow, we were talking and all of a sudden the high chair pushed forward a few inches (maybe 5 or 6). It was clear as day and so obvious. My husband who saw this just kept talking so I leaned around the corner to look at him like "wtf did you not see that?!" He assumed Cutty had somehow pushed her from behind, which he did not. And after rethinking it over and oevr again, there is no way he could push from behind the way th4e chair is, only from the front. THAT was trippy. About a year ago the dishwasher was running and the girls were both eating lunch so we were all in the kitchen. The dishwasher started beeping at me, while running. It was driving me crazy. Couldnt think what it was. Actually I was getting mad to think this new few year old dishwasher was having problems. I opened it, which stopped the cycle, closed it etc... Couldnt figure it out but then after it was done washing and I had emptied and closed it, it started beeping again. Now that it wasnt running I could see what it was doing. The delay wash button was being pushed. You know you can add an hour before the wash starts etc. Well I was watching the number go up with each push, from 1hr to 2 hr to 3 hr. Creepy to be right next to it when that happened. It did happen again that same day, like to confirm. It has never happened since. That was trippy. I always see shadows too. On more than one occasion I have seen the shadow of what I thought was my husband walking into Sierras room. He had been in bed still so I thought, oh daddy is up. Nope, nobody was there. BUT I saw it so much I actually went and looked. I know there are more but that is what I can think of right now.
My sister grew up seeing a little girl sitting in her corner of her room, floating. She does NOT believe in ghosts but you ask her about that girl and she KNOWS she saw it, her whole life mostly. She said she actually saw her within the last 10 years even 1 time. I know I have posted a pic here somewhere with an orb that was my cousin I believe on a camping trip when we saw a bear. Was right above my husband who was in the picture looking at the bear. Let me see if I have that still in photobucket.....
My cousin had just died this year and this was the first trip he would have come on with us since his passing so we believe that orb WAS him. Yes you could say this is dust, being that we were camping but having been my whole entire life, you dont catch these types of things in the pictures, seriously ever.
Dont get me started with my mamas stories. Well I will say one thing.... In her family they have always believed that the person who passes can take an ailment of someone living. Well we had taken care of my moms aunt and she passed at the age of almost 92. Before she passed, we knew it was getting close, I asked her to take my mamas migraines. She nodded as if she understood me. My mom has NEVER had one since and this was 15 years ago. She would get them so bad and so often it was heartbreaking. She thanks me for that all the time. Ok I will stop now. I could go on and on.
