I”ve never seen a ghost. but like they say, there is a first for everything.
So many myths told, yet no proof of it being real. The story goes, There is a well-known abandoned house in Texas believed to be haunted. No one has actually been inside the house. They say that there is a mother in a black gown longing, crying for her children whom she drowned in her bathtub then hung herself afterwards. Why? No one knows.

I quickly got up and went to find Viviane. It appears she is having the same ghostly experiences that I had. We wanted to get out of this creepy house, so we ran to the verandah. When we got there we saw a strand of beads hanging on the railing. I snatched them up and they began to glow. All of the sudden, we were both picked up by two ghosts, that were both women. They hovered in the air for a minute then took off, carrying us through the skies. We came to what looked like another plantation, and they dropped us in a grass clearing, and disappeared. We were so tired; we lay down and fell asleep before we could explore our new…

    When it comes to paranormal activities or supernatural experiences, I am caught in the middle on where I believe it or not. I don’t necessarily believe in ghost but do believe in spirits. In 2004, my great grandmother died. For a whole year after her death, if I went over to her house, I would leave before it got dark because for some reason I was afraid to spend the night in her house after her death. I finally got the courage to spend the night over her house and I must admit, it was the most peaceful sleep I had ever gotten my entire life. While at her house, I could misplace something and spend a whole hour looking for it. Once I decide to give up looking for it I would say “Madear, give me back my ____” and instantly whatever I would be looking for would appear. I…
