This isn't really a horrifying ghost story, more just an
account of some strange occurrences. I am Wiccan, and have
had several "Interesting" experiences in the last few
years.
I live with my boyfriend, and for the last three years, we
have been renting, which means a lot of moving around for
us.
In our first house, in Doveton, we shared with a
friend, Alex. I visited his family home with him and his
girlfriend once, and found that I couldn't go into his
bedroom. I physically felt ill in there. No biggie, thinks
I, just an energy that doesn't want me here. So I left.
Shortly after we moved into another house with Alex, we
started to hear someone running up and down the hallway at
odd intervals. We also heard a small child crying often,
and voices, as if a man were talking to himself in the
hallway. Alex explained this to be an energy that looked
out for him, which we all accepted as not being too
unusual. The next house that we moved into, my cat would
NOT go into the lounge room until i had cleansed and
blessed it from the previous tenants. Whether or not you
believe in that sort of thing, it's interesting that she
wouldn't go where her food was! We found out from a
neighbour across the road (a God fearing Catholic Cub
Scout leader) that the previous tenants had been noisy,
and violent, with the police often being called.
The next house (Yes, there have been a few!) was where the
most obvious occurence happened.
I was sitting with some friends, talking about the occult, when our old twin tub
washing machine decided to turn itself on. Yet again, no
biggie, thinks I, until I get up to turn it off and find
that it was unplugged, and the spinner lid was up. Now
those of you that have owned an old twin tub will know
that in general, they were built with the saftey
precaution of not being able to turn the spinner on unless
the lid is closed. Our machine definitely had this
precaution. So not only had it turned on with the lid
open, and not plugged in, but it hadn't been plugged in
for over a week, as it had BROKEN DOWN AND WOULD NOT
WORK!! The engine had, as my mechanic boyfriend put it,
given up the ghost! The machine did this several times in
the next week, every time when we were discussing energies,
ghosts, or spirits. Finally it stopped, and we put it out
of our minds.
The house we are living in now is in Chelsea, Melbourne.
It is a very old beach house (almost decrepit!). Our new
flat mate seems to have the 'ability' of attracting
energies to herself unconsciously, as strange things have
been happening here too. I cannot walk into the hallway
that her room comes off without shivering, and my cat
categorically refuses to go down there at all! She hisses
and runs away from it quite often, after attempting to
stare down things that can't be seen.
We're getting used to all of this, slowly. But if this
sort of thing happens to anyone else, try to remember, in
three years, no one has ever been hurt, or so scared that
they couldn't run away!!! lol.
