My uncle is a Grave Digger (honestly). I use to help him when I was in high school. I have planted many people and dug many people up. I have seen and heard things that made the hairs on the back of my neck and arms stand up. My parents had an out building filled with left over grave dirt from several cemeteries. While leveling the dirt we found bones and parts of caskets. Some old churches around here don't even have marked graves. They are very old graves. Sometimes we would see little ***** of light floating inside and outside the building. I think this kind of unknown stuff is very interesting. I guess that I am a strange one.

Its been a while. Lady that works here told them to leave me alone. Worked.
Except now.........I bring Stigmata to work to watch tonight on my laptop. Guy here tells me the ghosts might not like that....I'm thinking it might bug em enough to leave me alone.
Yea, well he starts talkin crap about em. Not cool......

So I send him and his partner out to do their job. I go doen the hall to the restroom.....as I make use of the urinal......the tiolet next to me flushes. Not like the big flush, like when you dont push the handle all the way, and just a buncha water flows.
Wonderful......here we go again.

I never thought much about the buzz, until late one evening all the employees had gone home and I was the only one there working in the basement. All of a sudden, a loud "something" thudded on the ceiling above my head , it sounded like something heavy had fell on the floor above me. I quickly ran upstairs to that location and looked around , nothing had been moved, and there was nothing on the floor where I heard the loud thump. I went around and checked all the exterior doors, all were locked and all the lights were out , except the ones I had turned on when I went in to the room....


Another late evening I was the last one out , had already worked overtime and was locking up to leave . I went to all the upper floor doors and locked them, then went to the lower level and locked all of them. As I was going up the steps to leave , every time I would take a step, I would hear a step behind me on the stairs. As the hair stood up on the back of my neck, I jumped two steps at a time cleared the top one, and did not look back until I was on the landing. I looked back down the long steps, not a sign of anyone...

Some time not long after that incident, another employee told me they had stayed late the night before. Again, all the other office employees had went home and locked the entry doors behind them. He said he had his office door closed (not locked, just latched) and was working at his desk typing up some data sheets on his computer. All of a sudden he saw a "movement" slowly go across his monitor screen reflection, and it looked like a figure of a human. So having his back to the door, he quickly turned around to see who was coming in his office, looked at his office door ther was no one there, yet it was standing open about two feet....


Until that time I had not heard about any of the ghost "stories" , I guess the old timer employees figure it was better not to start telling the new employees rumors about ghosts in the building, especially the first month or two. Anyway, the building has a electronic security system that has infrared motion, door switches , and audio detectors throughout the old building. Our security team ( a few of our local city police officers doing sideline work) report in on the job at 9.00 pm and they leave at 6:00 am the following morning. They always set the electronic alarms at 9:00 pm after all the employees leave and then they spend the rest of the night driving around the building lots, or sitting in the lot watching the building. I found out six months after I went to work there , that the 4 man policeman security team (one man at a time only touring , using alternate shifts) would NOT go in to the building after 9:00 p.m.and would just set the alarms and then go back to their cars. I thought that was unusal and sort of shortcutting their responsibility as security, but later found out why...

The cops told me a lot of stories about many strange happenings in the building , back when they would stay in it all night. I wont tell them all, but one is kind of neat. At 9.15 p.m. one evening this one security officer went in to the large office on the north end, to step in and turn the overhead lights off. He opened the door , leaned in and reached beside the door and pushed the light switch down. All the lights went off, so he closed and locked the door, then turned to walk down the hall. As he went to turn the corner, he noticed light coming from under the entry door in the same office that he had just turned the lights off in...

Not having set the central alarm yet, he thought it may be a robber, so he drew his 9mm and slipped back toward the office. As he slowly opened the door and checked it out, all the lights were on, and after doing a full search of the office, he found no one. He looked at the light switch to be sure he had not maybe just turned it halfway downward, but it wasnt, the toggle switch was in the fully "up" position now. So , this time he told me , he made a concentrated effort to be sure the switch was fully "down" and he said he watched as all of the lights went off. He pulled the door closed behind and locked it for the second time, but paused a second before he turned to leave. He said he then heard the familiar "snap" of a light switch and watched the light flood under the door again. He said he just took off walking, set the building alarm and never patrolled the building INSIDE again after 9:00 pm. From then on after that incident and a few others, he would just set the central alarm and go back to his cruiser.

I've had my fair share of strange phenomena happen to me as well. I don't mean to be the party pooper here guys, I am new to this site - and what a great place it is! Ghost stories are fun to read/hear. I wonder how many people have actually been through supernatural phenomena though. Depending on the nature of it - you may not think it to be very fun at all.

I won't go into my own experiences, but I can say that those experiences have given me a new appreciation of reality - the one that involves God.

Question....Have any of you ever stopped to consider the possibility that the "ghosts" in your stories may actually in fact be DEMONS? Demons are always conspiring against man and God. It's what they do. And in many different ways.
I can't say that I dont believe in ghosts...but I do not believe that all ghosts are in fact ghosts. Shadow figures , dream intervention, physical manifestations, smells and odors, premonition, deja vu, all are typical of demonic activity. Ghosts are not known to talk or cause people to hear things - demons can and do. Continue playing with the ouija board if you wish...it's a very effective form of communication with demons. Be warned however - the reality of what you will most likely encounter is far scarier than any spooky ghost stories you may have heard.

If you do not believe in God now....trust me - you will once you have made the serious mistake of encountering His adversary.

God bless.
