Subject: Paranormal experiences? by CSS996 on 2007/12/14 16:05:28 OK Gurus.... I was kinda trying to forget about this, but I was hanging out on an Isuzu site, and this just sorta came up, based on someone else's post. I'm wondering if any of you guys have had strange experiences. Like seen ghosts or whatever... Here is a true story that happened to me a few years ago. I just copied what I typed from the other site. ...Went to Ouray the weekend before Thanksgiving about three years ago. I was with a group who was attempting to film one of those "Ghost Chaser" kinda TV shows. I can't remember the name of the hotel we stayed at, but it was closed for that weekend. Only the caretaker was there with us. I did not believe in any of the supernatural sillyness. This is a VERY SHORT version: A woman named Ellar Day was murdered in the hotel during the 1800s. I got some background on the woman and her murder from the caretaker. The first night there, I was sleeping on the floor in a room with one other crew member. It felt like this murdered woman somehow interfaced directly with my brain and downloaded all kinds of weird crap. Ever seen Johnny Mnemonic? Kinda like that. I was able to pick out three or four pieces of information. One that she missed Jake or Jacque. There was some other stuff. Real random. I told the guys in the crew about my experience, and they filmed me talking about it. I really did not want to be on camera at all. I hate that kinda thing, but whatever... We spent the day walking around town interviewing a lot of people, and they all had spooky stories to tell. The whole damn town is haunted, I tell ya! Later that night, we were hanging out with the caretaker and his girlfriend, just BSing and stuff. The other guys in the crew were drinking. I don't really drink, but I did bring my own bottle of Jeagermister, which normally lasts me about two years along with me on the shoot, just in case I needed a drink for some reason. I told the caretaker about my encounter, and asked the caretaker if he knew who Jake or Jacque was. He looked at me funny and said that was this girls father. I asked him to give me some proof of that before I decided to crap myself. He found a book about the incident that listed the girls father as J. Day. CLOSE ENOUGH! I downed nearly an entire bottle of Jeagermiester after that. I went to bed that night scared shatless, but somehow managed to fall asleep, probably thanks to the Jeager. I woke up the next morning crying like some stupid little girl, and could not stop it.... After this, another member of the site said the name of the hotel was probably the Beaumont, as he had heard that hotel was haunted... My reply: Beaumont! That's the one. But like I said, I think the whole damn town is haunted. I had ZERO paranormal experiences in my life before this, and was going along as a camera guy and resident skeptic. But as we were heading into town the first night, I got a REALLY bad feeling about the town. I swore I would never go back, but about a year and a half later, my bestest buddy came up to visit me from Pennsylvania, and we decided to drive from Pueblo, CO to Four Corners and back in one shot. We ended up driving right past that damn hotel on the way back home. I couldn't believe it! I really didn't even think about which way we were driving. I just hopped on Hwy. 50, or whatever it was, and started heading for home. We started driving down this scary mountain pass, and I got a bad feeling... Ten minutes later we were driving past the Beaumont. Pissed me off. The night before I left for the shoot, (again, this was maybe in '04 or '05) we had some friends over, and I was telling them about the bullshit trip we were gonna make to "hunt ghosts", and my wife starts telling me these stories about an apartment we used to live in. This was in Mifflinburg, PA, probably 1994-1996. We lived on Chestnut Street. It was a quiet little town. They got their first McDonald's in '95. There was one night a week when the local Amish teens were allowed to go on chaperoned dates, and you would hear their horse and buggies clip-cloping up the streets late at night. Anyway, we had a dalmatian while we lived there. Her name was Trixie (Speed Racer's Girlfriend). I was away for an evening, and the dog started going nuts. My wife could hear something out on the porch, but there was nothing there. That coulda been anything, though... Sometimes the dog would sit at the bottom of the steps and stare up the stairs into the darkness. Not sure what that was about. My wife used to tell me she felt like we were being watched while we were sleeping. She said she used to wake up and see people standing outside of our bedroom window. We were on the second floor. Then the biggie... My wife said one night she woke up in the middle of the night and there was some kind of misty form floating over me while I was asleep. She said it was trying to harm me, so she screamed and it went away. I had forgotten all about that stuff until she brought it up, right before the trip to Ouray. I made sure to thank her for that. Anyway, I'm still not sure that I believe in ghosts, per-say, but there must be some kind of energy out there that we don't totally understand. Or something.... It is a bit of a relief to hear that I'm not the only one that something strange has happened to. So, any of you guys ever see or feel anything out of the ordinary? |
