Hi Stacey,
My name is R and I live with my boyfriend D. Our bed started shaking one night and it's been that way for about 6 months. It would only shake when D stayed with me at my apartment. When I slept alone, it did not shake. I am familiar with my bed shaking, because I had an issue with it about 5-6 years ago. I was able to command it away and I had never had a problem since.... until now. I know about spirits and I know I have a different color ora (sic) from most people, so spirits are more apt to come to me. This one will not leave. We've tried to command it away several times, pray it away, yell at it, be nice to it, trick it by putting our shoes facing opposite ways at the end of our bed.... nothing works. Sometimes it only shakes my side. It not only followed us into our new home, but also shook our bed when we stayed at the Marriott Hotel last May! We're to the point where we are just ignoring it now, but that is not making it leave either. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or advice you may have for us. Thank you for your time.
Very Sincerely,
R & D
Dear R&D,
Can you tell me a little more about the bed, was it new or new-to-you? There have been cases where objects are associated with paranormal activity, beds being one of them. As to why it's shaking when Dave spends the night, that's more of a mystery. Since whatever is it seemed to follow you to the Marriott, that poses another question - is it you or Dave that attracts the phenomena? Do you feel you are sensitive and does it run in your family? You may have a protective spirit watching out for you, I would continue to talk to it in firm terms that shaking the bed isn't acceptable and it's time for them to leave. Be consistent and you may see better results. Don't let it see you get frustrated or angry, they feed off of your energy and could take it as encouragement. Remember, it can't hurt you - it can just annoy the &$@)$ out of you. ;)
If it continues, contact a paranormal specialist in your area and speak with them about a consultation to investigate further. They may not be able to rid the bed of its shaking but they can usually give you a better grasp of what's going on.
Keep me posted and good luck!
Best wishes,
Stacey

Animal ghosts?
Hello,
I came across your blog through a google search, and hope I can bug you with a few questions. My questions have no real urgency; I don't believe there is any danger involved - so no need to drop everything to respond. Thanks in advance for your time.
About a week ago, I started having mild "encounters" in my apartment building: late at night I heard a steady tapping coming from my kitchen for a few seconds. I went to the kitchen to try and replicate the noise. I found that one of the cabinet doors at floor level, when gently pushed, made almost the same noise. My windows were closed and the central air vents point away from the kitchen, so I think I can rule out wind.
My cats have been acting strange (stranger than usual). One of my cats, when fed, will wait briefly before eating, look as if she is watching someone leave the room, then begin to eat - normally she is a voracious eater who begins to eat from the dish before I even get it to the floor.
A few nights ago, in a common hallway of our building, I saw a cat at one end of the hall. I went down to get the cat to try and find it's owner, but it was gone.
I mentioned these things to my wife, who is more into the paranormal than I, who responded, "Oh, that's Roz". My wife had gone to see a medium of some sort the previous weekend to find out her "spirit guides". The medium told her she was being followed by the "spirit" of our cat, "Roz", who we had to put down a few months ago after a 14 year battle with diabetes. My wife just matter-of-factly laughed it off.
I am a bit of a skeptic, although I've read some books and been to some cemeteries at 3 am as a teenager, so I think I have at least some rudimentary knowledge of the paranormal, even if I tend to play Doubting Thomas.
I have seen the "cat" since, and have heard more catlike noises. Roz used to paw at the lower cabinets after eating, making a steady rapping noise.
The questions:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pets can certainly stop in to say hello, their attachment doesn't stop just because the body gives out. One of the first ghosts I ever "saw" was the spirit of my dog, Jake, who had passed away after a fight with cancer. For weeks afterwards, I would see a shape out of the corner of my eye and could definitely feel his presence. It was comforting and heartbreaking at the same time.
It's not common, but spirits can cling on to a person or family instead of staying in one spot. You obviously meant a lot to Roz so I believe she's popping in to visit. Enjoy it, she may move on soon, Jake did after a few weeks.
Best wishes and say hello to Roz for me!

- Roz never lived with us in our current home. Can a ghost follow you to your new home? Isn't that a poltergeist?

A Haunted Opportunity in Disguise?
Hello.
Lately I've become very curious in the whole Spiritual and Paranormal area. Since I was younger I've always seen things, felt things, and even heard things but I have been blocking it out even though my mum also had this when she was my age (15) but decided it was best to stop it.
I had forgotten about it until I was walking home one day from a friends house, and on the way I passed a old abandoned house it looked amazing and just kind of drew me in! I was to scared to go in on my own so I decided it would be clever to take three of my mates with me to keep an eye out one has been into spiritual stuff since he was about five and he is now 18. They never new the real reasons I wanted to go in there.
Once I got in there I found I was being drawn to one specific room, someones bedroom. As I entered I felt Cold, Scared, and had shooting pains in my neck. I decided I needed to talk to the spirit so I made a board.
Straight away I got answers, I found out she was a 12 year old girl called Jessica but she prefers Jessy. she hung herself in that room in 1968 because her Grandfather abused her his name was Arthur and every day at 3:25am she replays this to herself over and over again. Because of this she hates Males so it was obvious why she took an interest in me. She made everyone cold, but me surprisingly warm.. until I started to feel faint I couldn't breath and needed to get out of the house. I later found out this was Arthur trying to stop me helping Jessy.
Once I got home, she was still with me obviously i started to freak out! but she soon calmed me some how. She also let me see her, shes beautiful. She thanked me because she wasn't stuck in that house no more with that mean spirit, and kept telling me things that were going to happen I didn't believe this but straight away they started to become true!
Since this whole experience Jessy has stayed with me now about 4 months on. She affects me when something bad's happening, or if another spirit is near, I still get the faint feelings and the saw neck but I guess that's just because that's how she died and that's the easiest way for her to tell me somethings there. Also because of this whole experience her being here has helped me lots, I have now learnt how to do Automatic Writing.
Because sometimes the pain can get so bad it makes me cry, my friend that was with that night thinks its best if I move her on but she doesn't want to be. I don't want her gone either, I feel as if she is trying to help me because I am the first Female to notice her.
As a professional do you think its best if she gets moved on?
Do you think she's bad?
Am I really sensitive to spiritual things and if I carry on doing this and maybe helping people will my feelings and writing become stronger?
Thanks so much!
---------------------------------------------------
Hi A-L,
Thanks so much for writing, let's see what I can do to help. :)
It does indeed sound like you're sensitive, have you had other things happen (sounds, smells, feelings of being watched, etc) before this? Since it sounds like your mum is also sensitive, it could run strong in your family. If you'd like to develop this 6th sense, there are many books available at the library to help or check online for exercises to get you started.
Entities have different reasons for sticking around and while we may want them to leave or stay, it's not really up to us. There's no true way of helping them move along until they're ready.
I think writing is an excellent way to tap into your feelings as well as communicating with the other side. Don't bother with a ouija board, it gives false information not by any demon goofiness but by our own subconscious - think of it as your dream state invading onto the waking world via a board and plastic doo-hicky. Start keeping a journal of what you're experiencing, it will help you to chart when things happen and your emotional state (happy, sad, nervous). See if any patterns emerge as to when Jessy arrives and how you feel afterward. The physical things may be heightened because you're so tapped into the phenomena; to get her to stop, tell her either verbally or in writing. Be firm and remember that there has never been a recorded true case of a ghost hurting someone though they may mess with you a little bit (I often have my hair pulled or petted while on investigations).
Keep me posted!
Stacey
PS- Since our first email exchange, A-L has written saying she'd like to explore more of this gift she's inherited from her maternal side. I think she and Jessy may have a future working together!

Grandmother's house haunted?
Hi There!
I have a friend that lives in her grandmothers house. Her grandmother passed away several years ago, and she has always said she can feel her presence in the house, but it was always comforting, not frightening. In the past month or so, her children, aged 10 and 12 are getting scared and don't want to stay upstairs alone. Her babysitter has told her that she hears footsteps upstairs, and even her 2 year old daughter looks up when she hears the noises.
My question is, why has this turned from a comforting spirit to one that is scaring the family? Is there anything she can do to get things back to "normal"?
Thanks!
P
-----------------------------------
Hey P!
Hmmmmm, changes in the family could be a root cause. Inner turmoil can sometimes magnify a situation in the house, especially if one or more of the family is sensitive. As children mature, they can unknowingly trigger activity. Depending on the ages and child, some are classified as Poltergeists but I think most of them are just stirring up phenomenon.
Ask your friend to talk to the kids about what they're hearing or seeing that is making them frightened. Are they centered around a significant date? Has there been construction or remodeling on the house (another source of awakening activity)? This could also possibly be a new ghost all together and not the grandmother. In any case, please tell your friend that there is usually nothing to worry about, it's more of an inconvenience than actual danger. That's not to say they won't get freaked out but remind them that there is nothing the activity can do to harm them. Look at it as an adventure. Whip out the cameras and become ghost hunters. ;)
I find that taking the fear out of it and using that opportunity to learn more about the phenomenon will counter the need to run. Have them take control of the situation before it takes control of them. As for returning to "normal," she can ask the spirit to go into the light or tell them firmly to take a hike; I've seen both methods with varying success.
If your friend has further questions, I'm more than happy to speak with her as well. If she'd like to learn more about what's going on in her house, check to see if there are some reputable ghost investigators in the area to come check it out.
Have a great night!

Stacey,
Hi, you may think that I am nuts. But that is ok cause most of my friends do also. I was doing a search on how to get rid of a ghost, but it was hard to find info on getting one out of a car. My girlfriend has a minivan that her late husband will not seem to get out of. The first time it did this with me in the car I just about broke up with this woman. We were going shopping one Saturday night, and we were backing out of the driveway when the door ajar light and buzzer kept going off. I checked all the doors and they were close tight. Then a little later the dome lights were going on and off and the buzzer kept going on and off. I told her she had some major electrical trouble. She said she had the electrical system checked and the fuse's all replaced. It kept on doing it, that it was John (late husband) Well i did not believe it. Then the power locks started locking and unlocking while all the other things were going on and off. Well I just about was ready to start walking. Well her dad called her one the way to the store, when we got out I asked how her dad was. Her 2 year old (his daughter) looked at me and told me she had talked to her daddy. Well I just about freaked out to say the least. Well that has been a about 5 months ago and it still dose it. There are more things to tell but I will not just keep on about it. Is there a good way to get this "ghost" out of the van and get him to move on?
Thanks, hope to hear from you,

Well, a haunted car is a new one on me but not unimaginable. I would certainly have it checked again for non-haunting reasons so you know there are no safety issues associated with the electrical system but after that my advice would be to ask your girlfriend to firmly tell whomever is messing with the minivan to shove off and head to a better place. This may need to be repeated until they get the message, ghosts are notoriously stubborn. As long as it isn't creating problems while driving, you may be stuck with it for a while.
Good luck!

Things that go pee in the night...
R* asks:
Why are bathrooms so scary? I have always been scared of bathrooms and now my kids are too. We came from a family that sees and hears things go bump in the night and I wonder if there is a connection.
Hi R and thanks for writing!
Well, there can be a few things that may account for your jumpiness around the bathroom. Mirrors reflect subtle movements that may have escaped your notice, drippy pipes creating odd noises, odd smells (I'm talking pipes here, not the more...obvious sniffs), etc. Is there a particular time when you feel more anxious than others? Is it all bathrooms or certain ones?
Most activity can be explained by natural causes, not supernatural, so identify where the problem lies and if you still find no reasonable explanation for your uneasiness, start taking notes (when/where/weather conditions/who's in the house). If you decide to investigate with a ghost hunting team later, this information will be invaluable.
One last word - many of my cases happen around water. I feel that there is a connection between the fluidity of water and that of spirit activity. It's possible that the water concentrated in the bathroom may serve as a conduit between you and the ghosts, which is why you're more susceptible it their presence.
I'm always happen to answer more questions as they arise!
Best wishes in this Halloween season,

Can a ghost follow you home?
Hi I have a few questions to ask. If you can answer with best knowledge you can.
1. If I was on a ghost hunt in lets say an old house and I come across a spirit. Can it follow me home?
2. Has anyone that you know come across this?
3. Can A spirit be attach to a person? Not to a love one but someone that it doesn't know?
Thank You
Andrew V.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for writing! Let's get busy:
1. If I was on a ghost hunt in lets say an old house and I come across a spirit. Can it follow me home?
I have heard of some ghosts following investigators home and I have had one myself. I wouldn't call it common but sometimes spirits are curious as to whom is chasing them around so diligently. As for my ghost, I would see a figure on my stairs while I work at my desk, just watching...watching.
2. Has anyone that you know come across this?
I have found that the more sensitive the investigator, the more likely I'll hear about activity after they return from a hunt. They may simply be more aware of their surroundings, however.
3. Can A spirit be attach to a person? Not to a love one but someone that it doesn't know?
I believe that a spirit is able to do quite a bit of what it sets its mind to. Be it following someone interesting home or staying put in a familiar place, it has the ability to attach itself to anything that it feels like. This may certainly change over the years as the living die or houses razed for newer construction but I've heard of families haunted for generations.
Thank you, Andrew, for your questions. Please let me know if there are others I may answer for you more in depth.
