The Warm Spirit

I wanted to share something that happened to me back a few years ago during the winter. It was one of my first nights in my dorm room at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska. I was informed that the frigid winds from the arctic north were even worse than usual, and the frigid arctic winds were blowing right against my dorm wall, so this night had indeed been very cold at -62 Fahrenheit (-53 degrees Celsius).

The room was freezing cold, I cranked up the heat but even at the maximum setting it did not seem to heat up the room The outer wall swapped the warm heat with its frigid grip of unwelcoming coldness.

As I huddled up under all the blankets, I finally dozed off into a slumber, only to wake up again about one hour later even more frozen than before. I turned over and again manged to doze off into my cold slumber.

Next, I do not know if I was dreaming or awake. I noticed someone walking over to the my bed. This someone crawled into the bed and normally, I would have rose up and gotten out of bed to see who it was and why this person was in my bed. For some unknown reason, I didn't do that. The heat of whoever's body warmed me up. and, allowed me to sleep.I snoozed into a comfortable sleep.  When I woke up I was fully rested still feeling warm and cozy. While the room itself was totally frigid with arctic coldness.

I got dressed and decided to tell one of my mates about the event. He informed me there had been the exact same thing happen to others in that very dorm room on several other occasions. They described the same event just as it happened that I just experienced. It seemed to happen on very cold nights, this friendly spirit would cuddel up with you and keep you warm while sleeping. I later learned that back some years ago, a girl in that very room froze to death. She apparently went to turn the heater up but turned it off by mistake, right before she fell asleep. I am told that her spirit comes on extra cold nights, and keeps whoever is in that room, warm and safe overnight.

Held Down (An Unwanted Visitor in the Night)

was written by Obake Hunter on Thursday, October 20, 2011

Years ago I lived in an old house nestled in the hills above Kalihi and in it was a ghost. We used to have friends over from time to time and soon enough they too saw the spirit in question, and since he was such a frequent visitor in our home we soon gave him the name Henry so he would feel like part of our family. 

Henry never did bother anyone although our overnight guests were forewarned about him. Even with that in mind they were always startled by the glowing white presence that would be standing in the room when they woke up in the middle of the night. One time a friend of mine, who was playing cards with us, actually saw him walking into one of the bedrooms. He had had a few drinks but I think he more or less sobered up right after that.

Henry never really bothered anyone, in fact he seemed to be going about his business like most spirits are want to do, popping out of nowhere and walking thru our hallways and stuff, I was even open minded enough to realize that in some very real way this was his home as much as ours maybe he was the former owner even!.

The years went on and all was the way it should be with life being very peaceful even with Henry showing up pretty much all the time except for two nights when something else came to visit our home. It was late into the evening the lights were off and we were all pretty much fast asleep when I Felt something pull me up to the surface from the comfortable tides of pleasant rest.

My room was as silent as can be considering the late hour and for a few moments that's all that was there with me until I felt someone pressing down on my body making me feel helpless. Groggy and terrified I managed to look off to my right and there was a large shadowy shape of a person watching me. My mind tried to slip back to that comfortable place where whoever this was could not get me. Oddly enough the moment I thought that and I slowly began to drift back to sleep it released me. 

Not long after that on another night it happened again, but this time the presence was much more insistent with scaring me and since I was greatly alarmed I had no choice but to face this dark presence. By instinct I started to pray and the dark figure eased off again and in a few more seconds the room went from a silent negative zone to a tranquil state.

To this day I recall those years living with a ghost who became almost like a shy friend and always a welcomed presence. And then I pause and wonder what that other spirit was on those two fright filled nights while living in that haunted house. And what it would have decided to do with its forceful intentions if left unchecked. 

In Hawaii we have a certain type of wandering ghost that likes to frequent both our fire stations as well as people's residence and they have a habit of pressing down on unsuspecting victims and also choking them thus the nick name of "choke neck" If that's what it was I’m glad it didn't get that far with me...

A Blessing from my dead Mother-in-Law to be

I had never met my mother in law, since she passed away a few years prior to meeting my significant other. This happened in his hometown of Gettysburg, Pa.

During my second night staying there with my soon husband to be, I got this dream that his mother came to the bedroom, she spoke to me in my dream, and appeared to me as I had seen her on his family pictures. The dream was brief as she told me her full name, including her middle name which no one had ever told me, she said how happy I made her feel, seeing that her son had found the one he would be with, and told me that she was so proud of me, and that she knew I was the right one for her son, the final words was to watch over her baby boy, and she leaned forward and gave me kiss on the cheek, and a hug.

At this instant I woke up, I felt the spot on my cheek that she kissed me at, and It felt like I had really been given a hug. I told my fiancé what I had just experienced that night and shared the message and the full name she had given me to let her know it was really her. He looked at me with disbelief in his eyes but he soon accepted what I shared with him because there was no doubt in my soul that this was really the blessing for our marriage from his diseased mother.

Later that same day we visited her grave, and I got this feeling of inner peace, I think this was my mother-in-law touching my soul again, confirming the dream and for giving our respect at her resting place.

Strange lights In My Bedroom

This one is from Dave in Hawaii.



 I was 16 years old is when it all began for me. My family and I lived in an old house out in the country outside of Honolulu. As I said the house was old but my Mom & Dad fixed it up really nice. I was asleep one night and was awakened by a strange sound coming from my bedroom. I turned my light and the sound continued but I could not find the cause. It seemed as if the sound was coming from nowhere like, just from the air inside my room then all of a sudden the sound stopped. I waited for a minute and then turned he bedroom light off again and jumped back into bed.

I was laying on my back in bed. I had my eyes closed trying to go back to sleep but I just had a strange feeling not a bad feeling or, a fearful feeling but, rather just a strange feeling. I opened my eyes and looked straight up and I saw a strange light. At first I thought the light was on my celling but then I noticed it was not on the celling but it was in mid air between my bed and the celling. This light was moving around and, my window shade was all the way down and no light could come in from outside. There wasn't much light outside anyhow because the street light was three houses down from my house.

This light had never been there before and my parents bought that house when I was eight years old so, I actually lived in the house for eight years and never before did I see any light in my bedroom. After three nights of seeing this light in my bedroom I told my parents and they would come into my room at night and they saw the light also. It unnerved my Mother very much and we checked everything we could but came up with no explanation for this light that moved all around in my room at night.

My Father did some checking with the neighbors and at the court house and he found out that back forty five years ago there was a sixteen year old boy who lived in that house and I was using the same bedroom that he used when he lived in that house. It seems the boy became very Ill and one day had died in that room.

I decided to try talking to the light. One night I told the light I thought I knew what and who it was. I told the light that since all it ever did was float around my room it was welcome to stay. However, It could only come out during the day and it could not keep me awake at night anymore. Well, after I told the light that.I could at sometimes see the light during the day on the wall or maybe on the carpet but, the light never showed itself again at night. I never felt threatened by that light and all was ok again after I said my say to the light. So, I am sure the light was the sixteen year old boy just wanting to stay in the house he lived in. He stayed there in life, I guess he wanted to stay there in his after life too.
