Barry Road

by Victoria Rife

Jimmy was one of my best friends in high school and since we had all of our art classes together we often spent a lot of time after school working on art with one another. Some nights we both couldn’t sleep so we would stay up playing Mario Kart before heading out and grabbing some Taco Bell. Sometimes we would just drive around listening to music. One night in particular we decided to take an alternate route and drive around exploring. We happened upon Barry Road (for those who don’t know where that is – it’s a long winding road out in the country) and drove on. As we followed the twists of the road, something came out of the trees on the right hand side of the road and smashed into the car. It appeared to be a white figure, although it had no face, and it was running. I screamed. He stopped the car. We looked around but there was no person or animal around and his car was in perfect condition – not a scratch or a dent on it. I asked him if he thought it was a ghost and he said he thought it was. Scared, perplexed, and a little bit entertained we turned around and tried to recreate it that night and many nights to come but we never had the same experience. This story has always been very significant to me because it was one of the few times I had someone with me to vouch for my experiences.

Living in a Funeral Home

Living in a Funeral Home

by Victoria Rife

My dad took a second job working as an assistant funeral director and to make things easier he lived above the funeral home while he worked there. Most people don’t know that some old funeral homes rent out the top part and, knowing that many are spooked by the thought of living in a home with dead people, they make the rent incredibly cheap. He had many, many unexplainable experiences while living there. I think it is very important to mention that my dad had been around dead bodies for well over twenty years when he took the job at the funeral home. Normal people may find the transition to be difficult and they may scare themselves knowing they are living in a house with the dead. The shock of working with dead bodies may also make it incredibly traumatic for those who are not used to it. My dad was a not only a police officer for many years (often working at night and seeing the worst accidents), but he was also a diver for the Coast Guard and searched for lost people who were presumed dead. He has seen his fair share of dead people for years and years. In other words, working in a funeral home was nothing new to him.

Here are a few things he experienced: at night the lights would flicker on and off, locked doors would open and then slam shut, unlocked doors would magically lock, things would move and disappear only to reappear later in a strange place, and one night a wall hanging even flew off the wall several feet. My dad had to turn off everything downstairs before retreating upstairs to his home. Some nights he would turn everything off only to get up later and have every light in the house turned on.

Shadowed Figures

Shadowed Figures

by Victoria Rife

Since I was about four years old I saw shadows at night that terrified me. This was highly unusual because I was relatively fearless when it came to most aspects of life. At the time I think my parents just believed it was the workings of an overactive imagination but I knew what I saw was real. I would often sleep on the floor of my brother’s room, at the foot of his bed, or at the end of our hallway just so I wouldn’t have to be stuck in my room alone with whatever was harassing me.

The shadows were always pitch black and opaque while normal shadows are transparent and light penetrates them. That’s very obvious information but I feel the need to point it out because a lot of people tend to come up with the same reasoning for the shadows I saw – “maybe it was a passing car that cast light into the room?” “Was it a moving tree outside of your bedroom window?” If a passing car or a moving tree can cast impenetrable black shadows in the shape of a figure then that’s one hell of a car or tree!

The shadows always felt mean or angry to me – for some reason I felt like they were not there to be gentle and friendly, they were there to harm me. Although, as a child, they never ever touched me. I would simply wake up at night and see one of them standing at the foot of my bed or standing across from my room and I felt more scared than I have ever felt in my life. Ever.

Gradually the occurrences stopped and I was able to sleep okay again.

It wasn’t until years later did I see one again and it terrified me more than any of my other experiences. I was trying to fall asleep as my husband (my fiancĂ© at that time) lay sound asleep next to me. It was standing about four feet away from our bed until it slowly came over and leaned over my husband. It had no distinctive features – no face, no hands, no feet, no clothing, no hair, nothing. It was simply a black shadowed figure with impenetrable darkness. I started screaming to wake up my husband to turn on the light and the shadow disappeared. I explained what happened to him but I don’t think he believed me. My husband had never seen or experienced anything he could not explain and although the paranormal interests him, he had never felt, seen, or heard anything unexplainable. He tried to quiet me down and we slowly fell back to sleep. I felt safe – I had always felt safe sleeping in the same room as others.

But later on in the night I awoke on my stomach unable to breathe.

Someone or something was holding me down, pushing me down onto the bed with all of their might. I was gasping for breath and managed to yell out to my husband who turned on the light once again. At this point I was simply sobbing. We moved our bed against the wall so nothing could approach me and I demanded that the light be left on for the rest of the night.

A few months later I was switching through the channels on the tv when I happened to stop on a paranormal investigation show. I have no idea which one it was but my ears perked up when they talked about “shadow people”. Sure enough, they played a video of a ‘shadow person’ appearing out of nowhere and it was exactly the same thing I’ve been seeing for years.

Strange Happenings

Strange Happenings

by Victoria Rife

My husband’s grandparents live in a house they believe is haunted. Everyone in the family has experienced one thing or another and they have plenty of stories to share. I will tell a few of their personal stories in order to share my own.

My grandma-in-law was woken up in the morning by my grandpa-in-law. Her back was to him but she felt him roll out of bed, get up, and heard him walk into the bathroom. She tried unsuccessfully to go back to sleep and eventually got up to go into the bathroom herself, wondering what was taking her husband so long. But when she got in there he was nowhere to be seen. Confused, she called him and he proceeded to tell her that he had left very, very early that morning and hadn’t been in the house for a few hours. No one else was in the home.

My aunt-in-law was in her closet sorting clothes with her back to the doorway and her front facing the back of the closet. She saw the shadow of someone standing in the closet doorway so she turned around to see who it was but there was no one around.

My uncle-in-law was in the living room watching tv when a picture flew off the wall and crashed to the floor. I tried to ask him if it simply fell but he was very adamant that it flew off the wall.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law were spending the night in the house when my husband was a baby – they were the only ones in the house that night. My mother-in-law decided to go to bed with the baby but she kept waking up to the sound of my father-in-law pacing the hallway. Worried that he would wake the baby, she got up and told him to stop but found him in the living room watching tv. He said he had been sitting there the whole time and never went into the hallway.

My husband and I stopped by to see his grandparents but they weren’t home. We didn’t want to stop by unannounced so we went inside to leave them a note. When we got in the dogs greeted us at the door and they were friendly. As we started to write the note though one of them became seriously agitated. Their dog, Hank, began to bark savagely and it wasn’t a “hey, get out of my house” or “there’s a squirrel!” bark, it was more of a threatening “I’m going to kill you” bark. This dog knows us very well so it’s not like we were strangers coming into his house threatening his domain. My husband tried to calm him down but he continued to bark and growl as if he were plain mad. But I noticed he wasn’t even looking at us – he was looking behind and beyond us. I told my husband, “look at Hank. He’s not barking at us. He’s barking at something else.”

It was extremely eerie and it made my hair stand up because this dog saw something we did not. At that moment the tv switched on and we got the hell out of there.

Bataan Girl

Bataan Girl

by Carlos

For a couple of years, I was stationed on a base in the New Orleans area.  I became good friends with my supervisor and started going over to his residence which was on base.  The first time I was over for a good duration, he told me about the little girl.  Before I get to that, he had two kids and a wife.  H, the daughter.  T, the son.  And N, the wife.  I guess I will refer to my friend as M.  Most of the time, the kids were gone and it was M, N and me at the residence.  The house was really a two story townhouse style apartment.  The entry was immediately met with a large closet and a right turn leads you to the living room.

After the right turn into the living room, to the left was a path to the dining area.  Along that path and before the dining room area was a restroom was to the left and just after that, the stairs were to the right.  In the living room they had their t.v. centered under the staircase and it faced the wall with the door in which you enter.

Back to the little girl.  He told me that there was a ghost in the house.  He said, “If you are watching t.v., you can see a head running up and down the stairs in your peripheral vision.”  I had never seen a ghost and I always wanted to.  I wanted to believe what he said, but I thought that after 26 years I would have seen something.  Well, it didn’t take long before I started to see movement over the t.v.  I couldn’t focus on it and it’s not like I could focus on the stairs and see it.  I found it odd and it puzzled me, but I accepted it.  Eventually, just like them, I just got used to her and the movement didn’t even draw my attention at times.  We would talk about her when one or more of us would see her constantly in a day.  We would wonder what caused all the activity that day because there were days in which no one would see her.

The stairs went up about eight steps before a turn and those were the steps we would see her traverse.  As you go up the stairs, to your right is the wall behind the t.v. which climbs up with you and you can see the living room.  At any step the wall is approximately three feet tall or a little higher.

August of 2006, the area was hit by Hurricane Katrina and I was part of the stay behind security team on base.  There were multiple hurricane scares so many people would leave their pets behind, thinking they would be back in two or three days.  My friend left his cat.  Once word was out that Katrina was headed our way, I made a run to his residence and flushed all the toilets and left a pot of water.  The cat liked to drink out of the toilets.

Also, I left it’s bag sideways and open on top of the couch because I did not know when I would be able to return in order to feed her.  Two weeks after the Hurricane I was able to return and found the bag of cat food upright.  The bag was left on its side with most of the food along the side so that the bag would not tip back over.  I never really thought about that bag incident until now.  I found the cat on their bed upstairs as if nothing had ever happened.  The next day M returned from Tennessee and I left for a few days to TN.  I returned four days later with food for his residence since all the food was no longer any good.  We had K, a fellow patrolman as a room mate.  K stayed in T’s room and I stayed in H’s.  It didn’t take long before M found a dog at a residence and brought it home.  The dog was often left it outside because it would get beat up by the cat and it was hyper.  It would not leave us alone when we tried to do anything, especially sleep.

One night at exactly 330AM, I awoke and looked at my alarm clock.  I heard the dog barking outside and this was odd because the dog never barked when we left it outside.  I looked out of the window which looked out to the back yard and found that nothing was there.  I went back to sleep.  A few nights later, I was once again woken up at exactly 330AM to the dog barking.  I figured that I should go downstairs this time and see what is going on.  I went downstairs which had music playing and all the lights were off.  I looked into the backyard and the dog quickly ran to the door.  I kicked it away and closed the door.  I then decided to use the downstairs bathroom to take a piss.  While I urinating I got a wierd feeling and looked to my left towards the stairs and there I saw a little girl.  It wasn’t as if I saw the girl standing in the dark.  Everything except her was normal and she was like a photo negative image that stood still.  Quickly, I turned away and repeatedly wished her away in my head.  Five wishes later, I worked the nerve to look over and and she was gone.  As I finished urinating and flushed I gained my thoughts and noticed that the music which was on earlier was skipping and stuck on a loop.  I looked at the dark stairs and debated going up through the same path that she stood in to get to bed or stay downstairs on my own.  I ran up the stairs and fell asleep.
