This entry was shared with us by Jussi in Finland, Europe.


This stretch over six years, the first time was in the summer of 1999 and the last time in the summer of 2005. Over these six years I would at regular intervals find mysterious scratches on my back, always in the pattern of three scratches and always on the back of my left shoulder, in a downward angle towards the spine. At first I thought I had somehow scratched myself, and even tried to see if I could somehow have made the scratch in my sleep with my own hand, I found the angle to be impossible for me to replicate but didn't' think too much about it, the scratches healed normally and soon there was not even a slightest mark showing where they had once been. 


Then a few weeks later I came out of the shower and as I looked in the back behind me into the mirror there the the scratches were back and again exactly as described before, this time I started thinking perhaps it somehow was my sun pendant that I wore around my neck, it did have some kind of sharp edges and could have moved to the back of me and be making the marks one at a time as I would roll around in my sleep, again I tried replicating the scratches using my pendant but found it could not even break the skin or that deep of a single scratch unless one used much more force than I was capable of doing. Also again the placement of the scratches was odd compared to where my pendant would be if it moved to the back, and for it to recreate the exact same three scratches so well aligned to each other twice in a row. 


As the scratches healed It left my mind again until the third time this time I was not even wearing my sun pendant and I noticed them as woke up putting my hand on the back of my left shoulder, thinking not again, I checked my bed to see if there was anything in the bed itself that could made any marks, but nothing, there was no marks of blood on my white bed sheets either. This time I also started feeling more, there was like a dark presence was in the room, and It was stealing my strength.


The fourth time the three scratches appeared my lush plants started to mysteriously die, and while asleep one would sometime wake up from the sound of growling. Look over at the plants and see them shaking, and moving as if something was there hiding inside the thick leaves, and within it there was a deep darkness that would not go away even when the lights were on.


I turned to the holy bible for strength and this seemed to ease things as there was no appearance of new scratches for months, winter turned to summer and I even traveled to the United States to visit some friends, then it happened again as I woke up at my friends place in the States, he was shaking me "Jussi, Jussi! There is some marks on your left shoulder, did you scratch yourself while  asleep?". I went to the bathroom and checked sure there they were again, the same three deep scratches, and not I was not even in Finland, which is my home country. The scratches healed quicker though, within just 2 days they were gone, only to return deeper on the third day. IT was also followed by an episode of me turning paralyzed unable to move for 24 hours, pinned to the bed I just slept like never before, it was like a great force was just draining every bit of strength for me, and then all of a sudden it was all gone again. 


I returned to Finland and a few months went by with no new episodes, I even moved out of my dorm to a new place before the three scratches returned with a vengeance, this time my new room mate actually witnessed it happen while I was asleep, laying on my side, and as my roommate Olavi moved closer to wake me up he realized I was also levitating just slightly above the bed. "Jussi! I can't believe my eyes! something is going on! You were hovering above the bed!!" He said in Finnish, and then he went on telling me about how he watched the three scratches appear out of no where, and as he moved closer he had noticed I was levitating. So I told him about all my other previous incidences of the scratches, and he convinced me to have the church come in and give me a blessing. 


After the blessing things were quiet for about three years until I moved out of the place in Finland and to a new place, it was almost as if each time one moved out of a new prepared sanctuary what ever which was taunting me with these scratches were able to reach me again. only to be kept on hold until again new opportunities opened up after new changes. Finally in the summer of 2005 I were able to find a permanent closure using a combination of burning incense, candles, prayers and deeper rebuking of what had been the shadows of myself and then move on with my life. I got married and I have never had another incident of the scratches since then.

Haunted Bridges

There are many, many alleged haunted bridges across the U. S. A. and across the world, just as many stories about the events that take place on or near these bridges. We will focus on three of  the ones I thought you might be interested in reading about. The first one we will take a look at needs no build up at all at all. It would be the world famous Golden Gate Bridge. Here are some of the things people claim to have experienced at the bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, California
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. Since then more then 1,300 people have been said to jump off the bridge to their death. Even after all these years, people still report hearing screams  and disembodied voices through the fog late at night. There have been many reports of a phantom ship sailing under the bridge at night. Some reports claim the phantom ship to be that of the SS Tennessee. That ship wrecked and went down  in the waters at the bridge in the 1850's. back some years ago, The Golden Gate Bridge was said to be the favorite spot of those who decided to end their own lives.

Emily's Bridge, Vermont
Emily's Bridge is located in the state of Vermont. The bridge was built in 1844 and it's original name was Gold Brook Bridge. The Bridge was renamed Emily's Bridge after Emily died there. No one knows for sure how Emily died at the bridge. Some say  she somehow got  trampled by a team of horses. Others say she caused her own death by jumping off the bridge or, hanging herself  from a beam in the roof. Most people think Emily's buggy overturned on the bridge killing her. Emily's spirit is said to be hanging around the bridge both night and night, either appearing as a flickering white light or, as a strange breeze that makes one is sort of state of haziness .

Bostian's Bridge of Statesvill, North Carolina
Bostian's Bridge is in the great state of North Carolina east of Statesville. In 1891 sometime during the late part of August, train number 9 derailed on the Bostian's Bridge falling into the ravine below. The accident took 30 lives that day. Countless people have claimed that at exactly at 3 am on the anniversary of that horrible accident, It happens all over again . They claim to hear the screams of people involved in the accident, they say they hear metal twisting and the sound of the train cars hitting the ravine. However, when investigators
are at the bridge at 3AM on the anniversary of the accident, No evidence has been found for any of the claims.

Sach's Bridge of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Sachs bridge is found just outside of Gettysburg, PA, very close to the Eisenhower farm where president Eisenhower lived out his days after his term of United States president was up.  The bridge was built in 1852 by David Stoner. One story go's that three confederate soldiers deserted their unit during the Battle of Gettysburg and were  hung from the bridge as their punishment. There are several things that have been reported there, people have claimed to see a strange mist, and, appertains  also, some have said they could hear cannon fire and screams of the dying, along with the cold spots and orbs.

Jeesiöjoki Bridge into Sodankylä, Finland, Northern Europe

Durning the winter war in Finland there was many fierce and bloody battles fought all over Finland between The Soviet Russian forces against and the Finnish and their allies the Nazi Germans, the many battle of Jeesiöjoki Bridge dates back to WW2 during 1944.

The Dead Soldiers at Jeesiöjoki Bridge into Sodankylä

The Bridge over Jeesiöjoki into Sodankylä, Northern Finland

Here is a contribution experienced by TJ when she was on vacation, visiting Sodankylä in Finland earlier this year. Sodankylä, which actually translates to the war village in English, is one of the most important towns in Northern Finland, and a crossroad where the larger river Kitinen on the eastern side of Sodankylä split up into the stream of Jeesiöjoki on the west side.

My experience here was felt when passing over the bridge across Jeesiöjoki, going into Sodankylä on the road that crosses in from Rovaniemi, as I crossed the bridge I got the feeling of fallen solders watching me, then the lost spirits of these fallen soldiers started following me, I told them firmly in Finnish that I was not the light they were seeking for, they stopped, but one could feel them watching, the horror of the soldiers battle filled me and it put me in a state of disappear.

Then when I returned to go back home and crossed the same spot I felt them again but this time they did not follow, since I had instructed them that I was not their light. The horror of what happened at this battle still is with me now two months after my experience while on vacation in Finland.

When I checked it out later I found out that it must have the soldiers that fell in the battles fought there in 1944 during the Second World War. This is not the first time I have had experienced things like this, I have found that spirits seem to want to follow me unless I inform them not to do so, but the experience while in Finland was one of the strongest ones I have experienced in all my years.

Mystic Telephone Ringing and Footsteps

When my partner and I lived in Tromsø, Norway, we lived in an old house with 4 floors, including the empty basement, the 1st floor where we lived, Our landlord apartment on the 2nd floor, and the empty 3rd floor attic apartment.

Most of the time the landlord was not there because he and his wife owned another house about 45 minutes away. One day the landlord came to our apartment to tell us that he and his wife were going to Finland for a few weeks to see family and he gave us his cell number in case of emergency. Now that cell phone was the only phone he had. He had no phone in his apartment, basement or the attic.

About a week into his trip, My partner and I started to hear a phone ring  and it sounded like it was coming from his apartment on the 2nd floor. We both heard footsteps coming from the 2nd floor as well. However, when we went up to the 2nd floor all the doors were shut and locked. As soon as we would go back down stairs to our apartment we would once again hear a phone-ring, but with a different ring tone than what we were used to hear from the landlords cell, and hear foot steps. This continued everyday for another week and before called the landlord in Finland to tell him what we were experiencing.

To our surprise, he informed us that he too had heard footsteps and a phone-ringing when his apartment had no one in it. He also informed us that he himself hears footsteps and mystic phone ringings that seem to be coming from his kitchen, steps or the attic while he is there. However, when he walks into the kitchen or up the attic he sees no one.

Hearing a phone-ring and hearing footsteps continued on and off until we moved out about a three years later.
