The Shadow of The Fireplace

My friend Sandy and his girl friend were staying the weekend in a cozy cottage that has been in Sandy's family for generations. Although it  has been in Sandy's family all this time Sandy himself had not been to the cottage since he was a small child due to school and being busy with family commitments over the years.

Finally, one weekend Sandy had the chance to take his girlfriend to the cottage for a romantic weekend. The cottage was located in the mountains of Vermont. When they arrived, they had to hike about a mile to the cottage because it was located  a bit more then a mile off the road. Once they reached the cottage, Sandy started a fire in the fire place and they made some food and played some music. They both fell asleep in front of the fireplace.

After a while they both woke up and  retired to the sleeping area right across the room from the fireplace and  fell back asleep. After a while Sandy woke up again and he felt very strange. He said he felt like he was frozen in the position he was laying in and that was on his side facing the fire place. While laying there feeling strange, Sandy said he saw a dark shadow move across the mantel of the fire place and the wall above it. He thought at first he was just really tired and he closed his eyes for about thirty seconds. When Sandy opened his eyes again, he almost jumped out of his skin because this dark shadow was moving towards him.

Still paralyzed, he told me he had never been that afraid in his life. Sandy said the dark shadow was moving toward him and then, right before it go to him it disappeared. At that point, the paralysis disappeared and Sandy woke up his girl friend. He franticly told her what he he had just experienced. His girl friend was so sleepy that she just told him his eyes were playing tricks on him and not to worry about it. Sandy told her at that point that he was pretty frightened by all of this and she told him to try to get some sleep.

Sandy was too shaken to even think about sleep. This shadow would move from the mantel and head towards Sandy every few minutes. This kept going on for about two hours and then stopped. The dark shadow had seemed to stop. Sandy finally fell asleep about dawn.

The next afternoon Sandy and his girl friend were talking about his frighting experience from the night before. His girl friend reminded Sandy that his grandfather died in that cottage some years ago. She told Sandy that maybe it was his grandfather just checking to make sure that Sandy was ok and doing well. So that night when the couple went to bed, Sandy talked to his grandfather and assured him that things were ok and that he was taking care of all things that needed to be taken care of in his life. All of a sudden, Sandy said this warm, loving feeling came over him and he knew then, that the shadow was indeed his grandfather checking in on the grandson he loved so much in life. he felt he no longer had to be afraid.

That day and early evening, A huge snow storm had started. The winds started  were high and by morning the roads blocked by drifts. Sandy and his girl friend had to stay in the cottage three more days. However, at night, there were no more dark shadows and no more uneasy feelings in the cottage and Sandy and his girl friend both slept well.

The Psychic Ghosthunter Twins

Here is another contribution from Nina in Norway.
After reading about The Mysterious Link Between Twins, I felt compelled to share the story about my own grandfather and his brother that also happened to be twins.

My grandfather and my grand-uncle did share a special link and also worked for years in the field of ghost hunting. Both of them had special abilities that helped them, while my Grandfather was claircognizant and had a instinctive ability to seemingly know what and how to take care of the spirit entities or haunting in question, his brother was clairvoyant and could see them, he described them to sometime seem quite opaque and other times almost as solid as you and I, especially if it happened to be a angered spirit.

Naturally the twins would be called on to take care of hauntings, and help lost family members spirits find their peace, lost spirits that was very common because there was so many that would get lost at sea in the harsh Nordic Sea, which also gave the life blood to the people of Northern Norway.

Like explained in The Mysterious Link Between Twin, my grandfather and his brother also shared a mysterious link, that seemed to make them able to seemingly communicate without use of words, and even when apart they would know what state the other one was in. Like when my grand-uncle passed away my grandfather immediately knew he had passed over.

Ancestral Memories

Photo by PJ, Honolulu, Hawaii 2009

The Diamond Head Crater, Oahu, Hawaii, a place I recognized immediately from what I had seen as a child and up.

Several members of my family has experienced what one would have to call ancestral memories. For instance my mother told me as a child, again and again she had seen this open landscape in her mind, filled with berry marches, shrubs, bushes, streams and lush plants of all sorts.

Then ehen she became an adult she moved to what is still her current place of living, in Northern Norway. She immediately recognized the landscape she had been seeing all these years. She had never seen it before other than in her mind, and she had not even ever met her grandfather but she knew this was where he lived, haunted wildlife, gathered berries and went fishing, she felt like she had actually come home.

I have myself had similar experiences, when I first went to Oslo as a 17 year old I immediately recognized the older parts which several of my ancestors used to dwell inn, I recognized the streets well enough that I was even able to orient myself showing my aunt which had not been there either how to get around the city. went abroad I suddenly found all these places my seafaring ancestors has been to before me, I was able to recognize it as images of areas that I had seen in my mind before, not pictures in books but real landscape, memories with smells, sounds, the feeling of the winds attached to them. Some of them I even painted as a kid in great details, down to the type lava rocks that does not exist in Norway.

Was these experiences reincarnation or past life regressions? Perhaps ancestral memories are part of the same or they might be different, could it even have been remote viewing or other psychic phenomena involved, possibly. To me it felt like the information was from my relatives of the past, not some disjunct existing person not related to me in any way.

My family has a long history of Ghost Hunting

 Photo by PJ, Honolulu, Hawaii 2005

A family is like the rocks of this wall, every rock is part of a larger whole, if one remove a few rocks the wall would change, perhaps making the wall crumble, perhaps the rocks took a different path becoming the foundation to a home, or never left the nature it used to part of. 


Growing up in a very active house, surrounded by a family which took spirits for granted. I knew from a early age about all of these stories of those before me and how they used to encounter, seek out and help the spirits of anyone which requested them to do so.

The most prominent ones were my grandfather and his brother (The Psychic Ghosthunter Twins) on my fathers side. While my grandfather knew spirits, my grand uncle saw, together they were quite a team and very well known for their talent. They found their ability to sense spirits when they were just a little boys. Not only did they know and see the spirit, but also knew how to help them, chase them away if it was being troublesome or even give them sanctuary in case of nice spirits that were being pestered by the new inhabitants of his or her old home. Which is one of the reasons my grandfather's home had so many spirits to begin with. Whenever there was a haunting they were called to help, I never met my grand uncle but my grandfather kept on taking care of ghosts long after their ways split apart. Even at the age of 94 my grandfather still helped settle the restless ghost of his son-in-law when it was scaring his newest great grand child.

I do not know if there was others before my grandfather, in my family but I am pretty sure there was a few, seeing how common the ability of psychic talents and spirit sense seems to be among my close current living relatives.

I also have Ghost hunters on my mothers side, my mother being one of them, even though my mother never searched out ghosts they usually came to her and she helps them out. And her grandmother, my great grandmother were also a known source when it came to handling ghosts. So put it mildly, I have it in my blood.

Called to Get One Last Goodbye

This one is from Nina in Tromsø, Norway.
One Sunday during church prayer I got struck with a strong emotional feeling that someone in my family was in danger, and it struck me to tears, I felt that I had to get back to them before Thursday because otherwise I would be to late to see the family member again, I did not know whom it was about at this point just that it was someone in immediate family.

I went ahead and booked the first flight back home that I could take on such short notice which was Tuesday, with everything in order I went back home to find that my grandfather was very ill, and not surprisingly he passed away the thursday like I felt back on the Sunday in church, I was not the only family member far away that called this way some of my cousins and uncles was too.

The warning gave me the chance to travel back in time and for that I am ever grateful, my grandfather was lucky enough to pass away with all of his children around him, and even a few grandchildren and great grandchildren there to say one last goodbye.
