A TRUE GHOST STORY - IS THIS A POLTERGEIST?
(Look to the left of the pic above at what appears to be an orb)
This true ghost story is a mysterious case as the person being haunted is unsure what is causing the phenomena. Could anyone help Karl? Please leave your opinions in the comment section below and maybe Karl can put an end to these disturbances.
KARL’S STORY:
My parents and I have lived in an apartment for fifteen years. I have noticed some very strange occurancs which has gone on there over the years. I think it really started with nightmares when I was around 3 years old. It was usually some big, dark shadowy thing which looked like a man who would chase me wherever I went.
When my sister was about 11 yrs old she would complain about hearing heavy breathing (like a person sleeping). None of us really heard breathing sounds until I was 13 yrs old. Then next my mother would hear it.
The first time I ever really saw the ghost was at night time when I woke up for some reason. When I looked at my dresser I saw what looked like a light glowing on top of it. If I were a person who was sensitive to the paranormal I would have probably seen the shape of a person. I closed my eyes and prayed to God and it disappeared. I know that light couldn’t have come in at that angle from my window and it didn’t look quite right either.
My mom and sister have told me they have seen dark shadowy figures in the apartment. I think the only really haunted places in my apartment is my parents bedroom and the hallway. I’ve seen orbs move quickly through the hallway or some sort of strange light travel along it, my mom has also mentioned the same thing. I know I have seen a black orb go past my eye before too.
I had also taken pictures in my parents bedroom and the hallway with orbs captured. The strangest picture I ever caught was in my parents bedroom. When I took the picture it was completely dark and I used the flash. The figure in the picture was above my mom’s side of the bed. The figure looked like a shape of a person and was sort of a white glowing figure. I wish I had the pictures to show but I have lost them. Also whenever I’ve taken pictures with my sister it felt odd. I would try to take a picture and the camera would turn off and erase everything on it almost as if energy was being drained.
Once in awhile in the past my bedroom stereo would suddenly turn on to a radio station, the radio station would be different each time it turned on. My stereo has probably turned on about 3 times by itself.
This entity seemed to act up a lot when my sister was around because she is very emotional. She told me about a time when she woke up from a dream and felt someone lift off of her as if they had been laying on her. She has also had freaky nightmares and another time when she woke up she saw a faint black shadow move away from her.
One time I was woken up suddenly to an emotional presence, it felt like anger or hatred, I prayed to God and it went away.
Update:
Recently while I was sleeping I heard someone sigh really loud in my ear and no one was around (about 4am) and also I think the day before I thought I heard someone sighing but I was home alone. On saturday my mom said she felt someone push against her chair and thought it was me but I was by the kitchen.
One time while my mom was sleeping after my dad woke her up she sort of snoozed off but then she felt someone push her in the back. I’ve noticed that recently it has been starting to act up again.
A few days ago my dad told me about a dream he had fifteen years ago whilst living in a spooky house in Pennsylvania, which I have also dreamt about. The dream we share is about a dark shadowy th with red eyes and it was chasing us and tryng to kill us (although we weren’t in eachothers dreams). My dad told me about this a few days ago that he had that dream fifteen years ago, my parents were living in a house in pennsylvania at the time. When I had that dream it was probably eleven or twelve years ago in the apartment that i’m living in right now. I wonder if this is all connected somehow.
Most recent update:
My mom tells me about how sometimes she would feel the bed vibrate and how sometimes she would feel like someone plopped something down on her bed. About 2 weeks from now my mom told me that when she was laying on her bed she heard her perfume get knocked over but no one was there. Recently, I believe I have caught some pictures of orbs in my parents bedroom (some during the day and some during the night). Some orbs are not very bright because they are not very strong.
I believe there are at least two presences in my apartment. I think this all started because someone messed with a ouija board in our apartment building about 12-13 years ago (possibly the one below us). My parents bedroom always feels weird.

SCROLL DOWN TO COMMENT:
Pic and story by Karl Wenzel, Copyright Karl Wenzel, 2009 @ World Mysteries And True Ghost Tales).
I am not an expert in the slightest when it comes to paranormal pictures, but that doesn’t look like it was dust on the lens or any other mark. It ‘seems’ quite genuine.
What happened to your other photos Karl?
My first inclination was poltergeist activity after reading about the sister’s emotional state. But i had literally scanned the story at the time.
Now, I am unsure about poltergeist activity and feel there could be a manevalent spirit involved here. The reason I say this, is because of the evil presence Karl felt. This is Karl’s qoute :
“One time I was woken up suddenly to an emotional presence, it felt like anger or hatred, I prayed to God and it went away.”
This is either the tail end of a dream or an evil presence. My feelings are, there are too many occurances in the home and I am believing paranormal activity is more the case than anything else, especially as more than one person is involved.
What do others think?
I find stories like this beyond the scope of rationale and this is why I tend to purpose myself with questions which will more often than not flummox.
1. Why did you lose the pictures you mention? Under what circumstances were they lost?
2. Although there may have been paranormal activity in the home, I do however feel there could be other explanations, such as dream state and rem dream state, which can cause a person to hallucinate.
If I could possibly ask for simple explanations to these questions in the first instance, I will gladly carry on with my analysis.
I’m quite positive that after the way you put this ‘Wilks’ that Karl will have no wish to explain himself!!
I hope you find out what is the cause Karl
Karl,
I’m in the process of discussing your story with a few people who know this kind of business. Bear with me on this if you don’t mind. Thank you.
There seems to be a number of possibilities here. I’ll get back to you on this.
Karl, I have seen simular things and I don’t doubt you!
I have had the fear, when things were happening in my bedroom.. I have covered my head and prayed also.
I had candles in my bedroom light up and flicker, when they have never been lite. [which I have thrown away.]
Ten years ago when my former husband passed away, I asked him to give me a sign. that everything was okay with him. That night I saw a blue light in my bedroom. It was the most calming feeling.
It was like someone lifted a weight off my heart.
The things that have been happening in my house the past two years have been just the opposite.. I have felt fear from them.
So many things you have mentioned, sounds like the activity in my house.
Nancy and Karl,
I have litle doubt now that you are both getting similar experiences which seem paranormal.
What you mention Nancy about a blue light is a familiar story to me as I once knew an elderly lady who also witnessed a blue light after her mother passed away, in fact she witnessed three lights. The lady I mention was someone you could trust as being extremely truthfull.
I only asked that you check out your electrics so that we could eliminate at least one possibility, even though you have seen visions, it still is a good idea for your safety, even though it may not be anything to do with this
Speak soon.
Thanks Eyepriestess,
I plan to have my electricity checked soon.
if i were you ask them to leave you all alone tell them to move on ,go to be with there family in the light. that them scareing you all is not nice. when i was haveing problems getting held down when i went to bed i contacted someone and that is what they told me to do,an if it doesnt work get your house blessed that deffently works.they have no right scareing you or your family be firm,not nasty when your asking them to leave you alone .
Hey Nic,
good advice there!
What really concerns me about this story is the dark figure with red eyes. I don’t honestly know exactly what this dark entity is, but I have seen it before and I personally know people that it has chased, followed from home to home and even assaulted physically. This is a evil spirit and even though it was in your dream and your dads dream, this is not a good thing.
I know you said you think the things going on in the place you live now has something to do with people messing with a Ouija board at one time. This could be possible for some of the supernatural things that are happening. But, I don’t think it has anything to do with the dark figure, your dad dreamed about it in a whole different home.
I would definitely try to find someone to cleanse the house and anytime that you feel something evil, pray for God to protect you and your family. I know this probably sounds like a small thing, but if you believe in God, prayer is often all it takes. When you pray, ask God to send these spirits back to where they came from.
And, be sure to keep us updated if anything else occurs or if the situation gets worse. Also, I have found that most of the time placing a small bible under your pillow will protect you while you sleep. My grand daughter was actually dreaming about this same figure, except it was almost every night.
Eventually, it ended up outside her window! She still dreamed about it, but she’d wake up in the middle of the night from the nightmare and it would be standing outside her window looking in. I gave her a little bible to put under her pillow and as long as the bible was there she didn’t have nightmares about him. In her dreams it was trying to kill to.
i have had all these expierences you have all had.from the bed shaking to things walking on my bed to tvs radios playstions all turning off and on seeing shadows hearing noises.the other night my kitchen chair pulled out all by itself right in front of me….now that scared me and one night the covers were being pulled off of me and i know i was awake because it happened 3 times i kept pulling the covers back on me…light turn off and on and they always flicker my cat watches things and my dogs do to watch things that are not there.so i totally beleive you and feel for you my advice to you would be to get some sage burn it and also use sea salt and put it in all your door frames and windows hope this helps and be careful because when these people say dont worry ghosts cant hurt you they are full of it because they can…good luck
Oh, I can totally relate to this. I’ve felt the presence of something, the breathing on my neck, things flying off of other things, feeling someone lay next to me and have no one really there. The solution I’ve found is to ignore it. Ignore it and pray to God to give you the bravery and the strength to not fear it. I honestly think that the more you fear it, the more it’ll bother you.
I took a pic with my digital camera a week ago and i had some of these things in my pics too. Are they really orbs? and the ones I had come out on my pics were huge and bright, I thought it was just my camera messing up on me.
wilkes, I’m not agreeing with you. You say that you don’t believe cause he lost the pictures? I also had pictures that were taken in the house I grew up in with ghosts ,white figures. Unfortunatley,my mom was very afraid of these pictures and burned them. To this day I still ask her why,those would have been excellent proof! Maybe he lost them cause at the time he wasn’t thinking of the paranormal and just thought the film was blemished. I for one don’t need any pictures to believe this story.
I have a lot of pictures with these orbs. Ill post them soon.
The ‘orb’ is clearly flush against the wall and not a 3D object. I have had personal poltergeist experineces and I have never ever seen one of these orbs that everyone talks about. This image that is showing flat on the wall is a reflection of light that can be caused by a watch or a ring or a piece of jewelery worn by the person taking the photograph. A watch would make this exact type of reflection of light on the wall.
I think that you definitely have a poltergeist in your apartment. I wouldn’t recommend moving because it might follow you. you said that your sister always had something to do with it. If my suspicions are correct, your sister may have part of a ghost in her. I would recommend getting an exorcist to take care of this. you could also try slipping some holy water into your sisters drink and maybe the ghost will leave her alone.
I know what youre going through. For the last two weeks ive been having dreams about this guy ive never seen in my life before and he has been reliving all of my past traumas and made them more dangerous than they were and what ever he did to me (he sometimes interacts with me) I feel it when i wake up. I told my friend this and then last night she had the same kind of dream but only heard his laugh ( his names Harrison ask youre ghosts if they know him). Everytime i think of him i get very sleepy but when i am not i dont. My friend do a seance and tell them to leave but i suggest a spirutal medium to help you and a priest or some who can read and speak latin
Hi I have had some similar experience to you and the first thing to do is to protect your mind and keep your thoughts happy and positive. I have used the spiritualist church to find a ghost buster and they can ask the spirit to leave you alone. My experience with them as that some are helpfull and other spirits will drag you down and. Notice if the spirit does these activities before there has been any danger, the spirit is trying to communicate with you, but you can ask for it to leave you alone and pretend there is a white light surrounding you and your mind. Sometimes that is to frightening so get a ghost buster in to move it on. It may be family visiting that has left over issues or it could be just a spirit living of your energy.
Thank you for your reply Soldier.
I sent my assistant, an EPG (Entity Poltergeist Ghost) to your place to deal with and remove your adverse energy sources. Let me know if you still have problems.
Hi there,I wanted to reach out to this thread because i work for a new network series that is looking for residential paranormal cases. This show features a leader in the community who has been researching and investigating for almost 40 years. This show is focused on helping people. If anyone here is experiencing something they believe is paranormal and would be interested in being featured on a tv show, please email me at paranormalstoriesla@gmail.com.
thanks
Katy
i would say your haunted
I understand you, I’ve had some similar problems back in Las Vegas, except that we didn’t see orbs, we saw figures as if they were humanoids, very scary indeed, though we weren’t that scared of them. If you want to know what happened, let me know.
Usually, these things may occur due to all the negative energy you guys carry or bring. A hint for them to go away would be, think and be positive and it will go away, pray, get a priest to bless your apartment, or don’t be afraid of them. If you see them in your dreams and are aware that you’re dreaming, think of positive things, or change your dreams, try to make it as positive as possible. Don’t be afraid of them, or chances are they might become stronger.
Hello Frank,
your advice is good and also with the dreams. I’m sure other people can do this, but if i wake from a not so good dream, i can go back to sleep and alter it, so it becomes more positive.
Would really like to know what happened to you!
I wanted to ask several questions about this. I believe that this “presence” is actually being caused by a natural moving packet of electromagnetic energy, otherwise known as Electromagnetic Flux. I would only continue to suspect this to be the cause if there were several other things that are and have been occurring. I believe that a strong enough bombardment of EMF could directly stimulate parts of the brain. Since the dreams are being reported by more than one member of the family, that it is coming from directly below the building. If it isn’t coming from directly below, there should be an area that can be estimated where orb sightings and the dream sufferers heads would be near. Paths would be visible of floor discolored as though it were aging faster than the rest. Lightbulbs in the “path” would burn out more frequently than others in the home. Spots on the walls or ceiling that are dismissed as being caused by moisture. The smell of something in the area burning that can’t be found. “Bubbles” of cold that seem to make fingers tingle if you reach through them. Spikes in these occurences near sunrise, sunset, high noon, and midnight anywhere from two days before to two days after the four main phases of the moon. Everyone coming down with headaches or fatigue at the same time. Everyone having bursts of very old memories suddenly coming to them at about the same day or even time of day. A sound similar to when warm air hits cold air to an opened freezer. Sudden anger and difficulty thinking clearly or sudden feeling of calm or euphoria.
just burn some sage and strongly tell the spirit to leave if that
dosen’t work call a pope
and i’d put at least one cross in EVERY ROOM EVEN THE ATIC IF YOU HAVE ONE!
I agree Austin, i have a cross over my bed and above a pic of Mary and Jesus.
I am a person who is very sceptical of anything regarding life after death, the reason i am sceptical is because it seems that after years and years of people searching or sharing there events there still never ever seems to be any REAL evidence of poltergeists,ghosts,ect ect ect…… it just amazes me that not one ghost or poltergeist ever seems to be filmed or had pictures taken where there is no question that there is infact a poltergeist or ghost, does everyone not think this is because there is nothing there??? for example in the history of medium’s who speak to the other side not 1 repeat not 1 has ever said “i currently have David here with me and he want’s to talk to Mary his mum” but yet they can have a conversation about random subjects such as health issues or even the lawnmower breaking down….. and they can’t say the most important thing of all which would be a Name……. the reality is there is nothing there when we die we die so why people still continue to believe is baffling to me………. i am not here to burst people’s bubbles but for crying out loud hearing a noise or seeing a pointless light in a photo does not mean there is an evil poltergeist in there house.
I will say that if someone can prove me wrong i would be delighted but somehow i think this will never happen.
Terry, most experiences are personal, like in my case. I was like you before i experienced the paranormal. There was no one more surprised than me when this happened. It changed my life.
If you read on here, the true story behind the film, ‘the exorcist’, then you will discover that there are signed signatures from the Jesuit priests who were involved with the exorcism of Roland Doe. I can’t remember the amount of signatures without looking again, but it’s at least 20. Are they all lying? I think not.
Now I am not saying that your story isn’t at all real as I am a firm believer in the paranormal as I have seen many ghosts, but however I have to disagree with the “orb” in your picture. I have so many pictures with this kind of light, some very small and some huge, they are just reflections of light. The house that my pictures were taken in were not haunted. I would love to post the pictures on here but they have people in which I am not willing to post. However I hope you managed to settle the activity and hope it no longer bothers you. Take care.
What i find really unnerving about your story is that aside from a few small details you have perfectly described in detail what happened to me at the first pub i ran. everything to do with the shadowy figures something being knocked over , orb central, and the bed vibration as well as the sensation of someone laying on me and then catching a dark figure moving away.
Scary in a good way cos now i finally feel sane x
First off I would like to point out that I do believe you have presences in your house, but the picture on the top of the page is most likely not an orb. If you look closely at it you will see that it lacks structure, orbs usually have a small center (core) and then what seems to be a layered energy structure around it and a small glowing aura around it. That picture is probably not an orb but you may have pictures of real orbs, Try looking closely at them and observing the structures of them, if there is none it is probably dust or something else that can reflect small bits of light, like from a camera flash.
I still find it hard to believe in Ghosts and UFOs even though I have seen 2 Ghosts and had many other strange things happen to me .I have seen 4 UFOs with other people being with me who saw what I saw. But I still cant bring myself to be a believer because of too many people out there who make hoaxes and turns people away from the truth what ever it may be. Good luck in your house if it was me I would set up cameras and tape recorders and record as much as possible because running off to a priest to get rid of ghost will never get to the truth of what is really going on.
