Hey, Catchya all tomorrow. Lot's of walking today has done me in. Good Night All!!

EDIT: CC I know right? Would be fun!!!
(comin in now......)

Darn, I missed Foss, Syx and CC.

Did someone say ghost hunting? That is right up my alley! I have only been on one paranormal investigation.

Got to have my Chinese buffet. YUM! Even ice cream for desert.
Bought myself a pair of shoes, a couple of little things for the baby to put aside, some Halloween lollipops in the shapes of Frankenstein, witch hats, ghosts and pumpkins, black Halloween socks with spider webs and sculls for Cody. Also got laundry soap for cheap and snacks. Day started out chilly and quickly got hot.

Syx and CC, you crack me up having a conversation in here with each other when you're living in the same house. LOL Oh CC, you said something about being afraid of people? Hell, you wouldn't be afraid of me or anyone in here. We are such a loveable bunch!

Good Morning ShedLand Dwellers! I hope You all have a great day today!

Hi Night! Ghost Hunting would be fun. Never did a formal one before, but want to!
We had a spook in our old house. It was built around 1883 or so, so it's hard to tell who it was. Or maybe there was more than one who would haunt the place. We would hear footsteps like cowboy boots or whatever going up and down our stairs to the upstairs. Sounded like those boots on wood, which was odd because the steps were carpeted! Plus we would hear like a ball bouncing down those same steps on occasion! It was kinda neat!
Others who have been in that house for visits or whatever would hear this stuff too, so we had some verifications that indeed we did hear all that stuff! Neato, right?! LOL!!! We did have a White Witch that came to visit from Alaska one time years ago. She was a friend back then that CC had met online. We did the Ouija Board, with protection spells beforehand, and came up with a couple names of spirits there. Markus, and Quinn. Later days later we were at a cemetery and saw the name Quinn on a grave marker that was near one that CC found for some of her research on Geneology. Odd right?

Yah it is silly for CC and I to communicate with each other through this board, I know. But I, at least, am too lazy at times to walk down the hall to the living room where She has Her PC set up to talk to her in person, so...... LOL!!

I do think as well that She would get along just fine with any and all of you guys here. You are definitely the best group I have met online, ever! One day hopefully we can all get together, eh? It will happen I feel, just when is the question......

Glad ya had a nice day yesterday while out on the town Night! I don't do Chinese, usually. But on rare occasion will partake. Did you end up wearing something other than your jammies and boots? Or did ya just go as is/was? LOL!!!!

a reply to: Night Star

you all scare me now..just think what i will be like in person..hell syx even scares me and we have been together for 27 years...i know i would stay to my self until i felt ok...well mabe just maybe i will have my meds by then and will see things different then i do now..

as for syx and me talking through this well its the only way i can get him to talk to me..most of the time any ways...and it hurts me to walk alot of the time so i write him here..we also did this when we had aol messenger...we would write back and forth..wow so many years gone by...i think i still remember my name there of course it was ccbears..or maybe days of our live fan..but i think more it was cc..the lady syx talked about from alaska was a witch in more ways then one..lol..long story there...but she thought my name was cause i did that drug...

so when we are going to do this ghost haunting..syx and i can go to places around here for a few..there are so many places but not sure where they are...bachelors grove is one of them..OMFG...i just did a search on that place and we are about 35 minutes form it...syx can we go please...we have drove by this area so many times..wow...i have my camera ready,just need to put the chip back in it..lol..well i hope you have a great day...

If you guys go ghost hunting, take lots of pics and bring a recorder if you have one. Just be careful a spirit doesn't follow you home.

Syx, cool that you once lived in a haunted historical home. Oh and...LOVE the dragon of the day! Pretty colors.

Yep, you & CC heard correct - The place I mentioned (Omer Plains) is more or less an urban legend, just as the Michigan Dogman is; Legend has it that the woods in the Omer Plains section is haunted by guardian spirits in the form of wolves (apparently, there are a lot of burial grounds in the area). Now, according to myth, the local kids would drive out there (probably because it's a lover's lane of sorts...I mean, the girl would literally jump into your arms at the sound of howling ), provoke the spirits, and then run back to the car wondering why they were being attacked.

I think it would be fun to do a formal investigation, just like with Blood Road up here - reason being I don't think the spirits would attack any of us, and if they did, well, let's just say I have yet to fear a ghost.

Mackinaw Island is also haunted, and there's several ghost towns to the north - you'd need to be here at least a month to see most of the haunts.

a reply to: fossilera

Kids anyway. They are not smart enough to know that you don't just mess with any spirits! Some day they will be caught up in the drama that will unfold from doing that!! Time will teach them the right way to try to interact with any other worldly entities!!!

I would like to try a formal investigation too bud! I think it would be eye opening!!!

Good Night Good People. Bud may have made himself Weiser, but I am not feelin very smart right now. See ya's in the morning light...... Me

Hey guys and gals!!!!

Just thought I'd stop by and let you all know that I haven't disappeared of the planet. Been sort of busy with some things around the house here lately. Got the chance to try some night photography in almost complete darkness after doing some railfanning along the New River Gorge yesterday. For it only being the third or fourth time to have been doing this. I don't think that I didn't do too shabby.

Still standing after 50+ years, the signals "CW Cabin" just west of Hinton, WV await the next train to begin its journey through the darkness along the New River Gorge. Reflecting the faint light of a slow moving westbound. The signals at CW Cabin stare into a cool fall night awaiting the next train for them to light the way for.






I can't decide which one looks better.......... 1, 2, or 3......

Three may be blown out a little bit due to the focal point of the lighting but what can ya do.......

a reply to: SyxPak

Hello all! Just dropped in to say hi, and discovered that people are discussing haunting. I have never experienced a haunting, or a ghostly apparition, but that is not to say that this in and of itself means a great deal in the grand scheme of things.

I am told by those who allegedly have a sense for these things (which is yet another thing I cannot confirm) that spirits avoid my presence as readily as mortal people avoid bullets, fire, and large bears. I have no idea why, but apparently they just do not want to be around when I am. There is a small village near where I live, which contains an old church. It is in fact, very old, and rumour and legend has it that the place is haunted by some olde worlde herbalist lady, who was accused of witchery and dark deeds, and summarily removed from the mortal plain as punishment. She was, so legend tells, utterly unhappy with this state of affairs, and is supposed to hang out around this church due to her having died in close proximity to it.

The location also has some other links to occult practices down the ages, much of which is only told by word of mouth, and has very little by way of confirmed data to back it up, save of course for the chronological context of the settlement being of the correct age for the events which have been described, to have occurred there.

Anyway, myself and a few friends went down there on a moonlit night, and a person, who claimed that they were always there when the moon was full, for reasons which were not explained but one assumes have to do with some necromantic flim flam, approached me with a peculiar look upon her face, somewhere between abject terror and bewilderment (odd how these things go together so readily, is it not?). She told me that every time she had been in that location, on a night such as this, that the place was always teeming with spirits, including the herbalist from days of yore. She also told me that before I arrived, all the spirits she was in contact with, had their attention focused on something else, something approaching which they none of them were pleased about.

Apparently, the closer I got, the more their numbers thinned, until finally, as I stepped onto the grounds of the old church, there were none. I knew of none of this of course, without being told, because I do not possess senses which extend into the unmortal realms. I asked her what she thought all this meant, and she told me "I haven't a clue, but what I do know is, that you scare me, and I am leaving!". And with that, off she buggered.

So, apparently, I am anathemic to spirits for some reason. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm any of this, because a) I cannot confirm for myself, the existence of spiritual beings in the way that they are described in folklore and by necromancers and other dabblers in the occult, and b) I cannot confirm that I have this affect on spiritual beings because I cannot confirm their existence either.

Now, do I believe that the spirit of a person is a thing separate from its body? Yes. I believe I have one, a spirit, a soul. I believe that it will remain in existence after I am dead, but I have seen no evidence to suggest that it, or any other spirit, remains bound to the earth after death. I believe that there are only three places a spirit goes after the death of its flesh component, heaven, purgatory, or hell. Purgatory being largely a waiting room, we can say that there are only two places, which I believe ever contain the unmortal remains of a human being in any meaningful sense or for any length of time.

I do believe that the forces of darkness conspire to create and unleash liar spirits, tendrils of The Beast if you will, and that all such entities are not to be trusted, and not to be toyed with. I believe I have witnessed one of these things access the consciousness of a friend of mine, and I am confident that I was able to banish the thing by asking God for deliverance on my friends behalf (when your friend begins to levitate at a sleep over, and you have your Bible to hand, best just get on with it in my opinion).

But as for the souls of the long dead, swirling about on some other plain next to ours? I do not buy it. If I did though, I would be very concerned about the effect that I have on that realm and its inhabitants, because apparently I am kryptonite to these things!

a reply to: TrueBrit

True, if indeed You are Kryptonite to spirits, that could be a good thing! It would keep the bad ones away. However, not being able to interact with the good ones, would leave that part of your life empty. To not be able to experience some of the crazy things that some spirits would do, like move objects, or knock over lamps, make noises etc., in your presence, does not let You have a full life , IMO of course. I Know there are plenty of things that fill ones life, but I just meant being able to witness spirit activity adds some pretty kool tales for one to tell!!!
But You did mention Levitation of a Friend of Your's a while back in Your life and that is Something incredible for sure!!! I have never witnessed that in My lifetime, so far. It would be awesome to see first hand!! So it seems as though you once did not have the Kryptonic effect on the Spirit Realm. Something since then has happened to You, that has created a Spirit deflector, of sorts.......... Not sure what could make that happen, as I have never known for that to happen to AnyOne!
SO this is one more facet that makes You a Truly Unique and Wonderful Person!!!!!!



Good Morning and Hello to EveryOne in ShedsVille!! I hope You ALL have a Great Day!!!

Good to see you Gimme! Cool pics!

True, intriguing post. What the heck are you doing to the spirits for them to be afraid of you???
Really enjoyed the legends of the nearby village.

I had a couple of interesting experiences. Once, I went to Salem Massachusetts which is famous for their history of witch trials and murders. Most of the quaint little shops have an enchanting feel about them but one...OMG, I felt such blackness, such pure evil, I wanted to run out the moment I went in. I stayed though and from a back room, a gorgeous mysterious young man with long black hair and all dressed in black came out and asked if he could help me with anything. His presence was sooooo strong and mysterious and felt evil. It was like being in the same room as a demon. I sensed that he knew that I knew there was something evil there and that he respected me for standing my ground and not running off. He had this strange grin on him. Very weird!!!!!!!!!

Another experience I had was the opposite, it was a zoo somewhere and at one particular open area it felt so peaceful, so sacred, like nothing I have ever felt before. I always wondered if maybe it was a sacred area when Native Americans lived there or something.

As for anything ghostly....I once worked at a factory where like 4 different times, someone or something tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned, no one was there!

a reply to: gimmefootball400

Gimme Hi!! I like the Third Photo. It gives some reference with the Trees on the right to add some scale, etc...... Good Job with the NightTime Photography!!
Good to see You dropping In Here!!! Hope You have a Great Day/Night!!

Syx, you gotta stop sneaking up on me like that. LOL I think I'm in here alone and then BOO! It's Syx! LOL

a reply to: Night Star

Night, Hi!! Those are some neat experiences/interactions there! Very kool for sure!!! Here where we are now, I have heard someone walk down the hall behind me. When I wait for their return, nothing happens!? I go out down the hall and into the living room and ask CC if it was her that just came by, and She says that She hadn't been down the hall for quite some time!!??? So odd indeed! She has seen a full apparition of an old woman here. I had just caught a glimpse of the shoulder area and head of the same woman! No one has died here that we know of. The elder woman who owns this place is still alive in an old folks home, so we are perplexed as to whom the owner of the ghost shape is!!!

LOL Night BOOOOOO!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!
