I have had 3 paranormal experiences, yet I am not sure about ghosts still.
The first one one occurred when I was 13. My little brother and me were with the Ouija board
in our living room in North Bergen N.J.
My brother Steve was around 8 at the time.
We were trying to call out Lou Costello,of Abbott and Costello.
After about 5 minutes of calling his name,we both looked up through the dining room to the kitchen at the same time.
We BOTH saw a woman floating about a foot off the floor right near the refrigerator.
We looked at each other scared to death. We looked back and she was gone.
She had a flowing gown on, that looked like it was rippling around her.
The 2nd one was in the same house.
We had one of those creepy basements,that when you descended down the stairs, it sort of made you short of breath for some reason.
I had to go down there one night to get my clothes out of the washing machine.
My father made one side of the basement into a bar area,complete with a bumper pool table,lighted beer signs,
and one of those mechanical drunk guys holding on to a lamppost?
I was just at the bottom of the stairs when that damn drunk guy lit up and was doing his moving thing.
There was no one else down there with me.
A bumper pool BALL moved from one end of the table to the other.
That was enough to make me tear back up the stairs.
Since that time, and this is very strange... I began to have nightmares about being in the back of an auditorium somewhere.
As I watched the stage,colored balloons would come at me. They grew larger as they got closer.
No Lie. I have this dream about 15 times a year,TO THIS DAY.
Okay. So this is the house we lived in from 1969-1981. In New Jersey,where I was born and raised.
9014 2nd Ave, North Bergen, NJ is a single family home that contains 1,292 sq ft and was built in 1916. It contains 1.5 bathrooms.
This is an old photo of me and my brothers,Scott and Steven,and my first dog COOKIE.
These were my father's parents,(Sicilians) visiting us in the house. Notice the crazy wallpaper! We also had orange carpeting and an orange couch.
So the LAST paranormal experience,I do not have a picture of, BUT.. Our Aunt Lana was babysitting us on New Years Eve,1974 in her apartment in Hackensack,New Jersey. There were my brothers,me,my aunt, and her sister in the apartment.
It was snowing like a bitch outside. Our parents were at some party. At 1am,(yes we were still awake in the living room just goofing around.)
Again we had a Ouija board out. It was my aunt's board this time.
At 1AM in the morning, IT RAINED PENNIES FROM THE CEILING. Literally falling from the ceiling.Hundreds and hundreds of pennies,hitting us like pellets.The floor was covered in pennies. We picked some up and the dates were 1959-1970. Not sure if
that meant anything. But there were the 5 of us witnessing this. We talked about it numerous times to our relatives.We always had a lot of company as our Italian family was HUGE. I always think back at that time and WISH TO GOD we had a movie camera or something. My parents believed us all and always wondered why and how it happened.
I have had these experiences,and yet... I am not sure I fully believe in ghosts. I have always tried to believe Ghost hunters and Zak of Ghost Adventures or The Dead Files,but they always turn out to be hoaxes. Just like the show I used to watch Crossing Over with John Edward.
To this day, I wish I can actually find proof of what I experienced and why it happened.
I guess I will keep searching.
