My First Ghost Story

This is a story about a bizarre situation in my own home that opened my eyes changing my life forever.  At the time, it was a bit frightening and surreal, but nonetheless, the experience had a modus operandi as do all experiences Divinity sends our way.

Approximately twelve years ago while I was still very much living in the Muggle world (Joanne Rowling), had long since forgotten I had a sixth sense, and lived a linear life based on pure logic, the Divine arranged for my husband and I to purchase a home, but not just any home.  (We, of course, thought it was of our own making.)

All seemed fairly normal until I left the corporate world to start my own home based accounting practice.  As I was spending a great deal of time at home, I started to feel as if I were not alone, especially when the girls were at my parents during working hours.

 There were different levels of confirmation.  The more subtle physical sensations included huge temperature swings where one moment the air seemed normal and the next it felt freezing.  Sometimes the hair stood up on the back of my neck and other times I felt a brush against my leg when absolutely nothing was there.  Most often, I felt as if someone were watching me, but of course, there is no logic to that notion  when no one else is in the house!  These subtle energies could leave one to believe they are crazy. 

Well before the days of the energy efficient light bulbs, we went through quite a few bulbs in a short amount of time.  The television turned "on" in the middle of the night when the remote was nowhere near the bed.  Electronic toys turned themselves on all at once when the girls were not in the same room.

 Eventually, the signs became more clear. My youngest daughter constantly played and frequently held conversations with, to my eyes, herself. My oldest daughter complained that her ponytails were pulled or that someone kept touching her face.  She also was afraid to sleep by herself as she often said "something is in my room."  Regretfully, I did not believe her as I had no frame of reference or experience to draw from.  In order to comfort her, I sometimes agreed to lay in her bed with her until she fell asleep.  One night before 9:00 PM when I was fully awake, I felt someone sit on the bed.  Horrified as I heard not one single foot step on the wooden floor, I froze from pure fear.  My logical mind dismissed it.  A few nights later, the same thing happened, only this time I got the nerve to look.  There was no one there, but clearly, there was an indentation of someone seated!  I began to realize that there was more to life than the three dimensions we perceive.

I told my husband about these ongoing situations, but he was more logic based than I was and thought it was my imagination.  

 After I attempted to forget my experiences, hoping they would go away, something happened that changed his life going forward.  One night while I was fast asleep, Tim woke me and said, "I believe you!"  I'm not sure if I was simply not with it or had been in denial, but I said, "About what?"   He went on to tell me that someone sat on his side of the bed and he almost fell out of it.  The ghost repeated this behavior so that it left no doubt it was not a dream.  If fact, we both could see the indentation in the bed each time.  

 Tim was ready to take action as we both agreed living with a ghost was not something we wanted to continue.

 Somehow we happened upon the name of a lady who handled these types of situations.  I did not have a last name at the time, but she was known as Mary Ann the Ghostbuster.  Mary Ann was busy, but her daughter, who also had the same abilities, returned my call.  I will refrain from mentioning her name in case she prefers anonymity as she did many years ago.  Mary Ann's daughter was amazing!  Over the phone, she knew of two ghosts in our house, one of which was a five year old child and pulled my daughter's ponytails.  She also knew the girls and I suffered from frequent sinus and ear infections - characteristic of a spirit in the house.  

 The elderly male spirit that lived in our house well before we purchased it had followed the previous owner, Eileen, home from the grocery store.  He had chosen not to go into the Light when his body died as he had "lived a regrettable life," and in fact, no one went to his funeral.  Since Eileen had been experiencing depression from the death of her husband, the male spirit thought he could make her life better - basically, he started working on his karma but after his death.  Once Eileen moved out when she became too ill to remain in a house by herself, the spirit felt "stuck" with us!  We were a younger family and a bit too loud for his liking, so he made his presence known in hopes we would do something about it.  

 

In addition, there was a boy that visited our house looking for his mother, Eileen.  He was hit by a car and had not crossed into the Light because his mom or dad had not yet passed and he did not want to leave them.  Mary Ann's daughter told us the name of the young boy, which I will not mention.  

 

What a day!  The spirit crossed over into the Light where all healing happens.  After a body dies, the emotional and mental bodies remain the exact same as when the body was alive.  For instance, a spiteful human whose body has died will remain a spiteful spirit until they have crossed over. 

 

Incredibly, Eileen's daughter was our piano teacher and gave piano lessons weekly in our home.  When I called Eileen's daughter to relay the story and specifically mentioned the five year old boy, his story, and his name, she dropped the phone out of pure shock.  The boy was her brother!  She confirmed everything.  

 

Everything changed that day.  Not only did our home have a new and freer feel to it, but all strange phenomena stopped, and most importantly, our eyes were opened to a new world.

 

As I look back, I realize that was the catalyst for my path to change.  Without Divinity providing that experience, I may not have taken my calling to become a healer seriously.  

 

This brings me to two areas of interest for my readers.  First, I would like to mention that Mary Ann sells quince seeds that have been specially treated by her family members in Italy.  These seeds can be worn and ward off earthbound spirits.  I am often asked how can future issues be avoided, and although there is not a hard and fast answer for all types of beings, the seeds work for the human spirit. Please see Mary Ann's site for ordering information:

The second area of interest regarding Mary Ann is that she will be the featured speaker at the HHH Expo in October 2012 in North Olmsted, OH.  Please see the information below for details.

 

I would like to thank both Mary Ann Winkowski and her daughter for serving in such a high capacity.  Their expertise provided an opportunity for me to learn and for that I am grateful!
