I’m absolutely thrilled by the increase in the number of visitors who have been visiting TwoCansOnAString.com with my Real Ghost Stories. Thank you so very much!!
I have had some strange paranormal activity in my current home. At times I wonder why I’m still here . . . and then again, I realize it is not so much where I live . . . there are always spirits around and I have to learn to get along with them.
I’m fortunate to not have really creepy stuff happen that makes me run out of my home screaming!! But, this has happened to Sandra and her daughter, Mary.
I was at my local coffee house having a normal coffee with my blueberry muffin when I was approached by Sandra. She learned of my interest in the paranormal and how I love hearing the true paranormal experiences of others. And she said she had a great story to share with me . . . and I’m sharing with you.
Sandra and her husband Dan moved into their new home with their daughter Mary in the spring of 2016. It started out as their dream home . . .
There was a lot of work that needed to be done around the house and Dan wanted to do most of it himself. He was between jobs and Sandra was working as an elementary school teacher. Financially they were doing well so they didn’t have any concerns in that area, but Dan started to change . . . little things at first . . . short tempered . . . and he couldn’t get warm. He always complained about the cold.
For many of you alert readers, you’re picking up on the possibility of possession . . . due to the change in personality and the feeling of being cold and not able to get warm.
Sandra suggested that they hire a crew to repair the house and then flip it and find another one. But Dan went off the deep end said some unforgivable things to her. This scared her, she was tempted to leave with Mary, but wanted to help her husband through this.
After work one day, Sandra found Dan on the ground with a deep cut on his leg. She immediately called 9-1-1 and got medical help for her husband. He lost a lot of blood and was near death, but he did survive his injury . . . but his mental state concerned the doctors.
While Dan was in the hospital, Sandra followed through with her plan to hire repair men and get the house ready to sell.
One thing after another happened to the workers . . . tools were always being moved . . . they heard strange sounds along with footsteps . . . but they never saw anything . . . But when the men started getting hurt, the crew refused to continue working and quit.
It is true that spirits don’t like construction . . . but these were merely repairs not any major changes to the house.
There was another crew that agreed to work . . . but things started happening in their homes. The spirits not only were making their lives miserable at work, but also in their own homes.
So, needless to say . . .
That house started to get a reputation of being haunted, but more than haunted — something sinister was in that house and it was out to destroy everyone who worked there . . . including their family.
Dan was taken to a mental institution instead of being released from the hospital to come home. Sandra was embarrassed to say she felt relieved . . .
One night during dinner, the house took on a life of its own — doors were opening and slamming closed, cupboards were opening and banging closed. One would think a massive earthquake was happening . . . but it was the house and the spirits in the house that were causing the chaos.
Sandra and Mary ran out of the house to stay with Sandra’s parents.
She did contact a psychic who wouldn’t step foot on the property. She felt something sinister about the place and suggested Sandra put it up for sale as soon as possible.
Sandra and her father went to the house to collect they clothing and some personal items. Also do some minor cleaning when suddenly her father received chest pains and shortness of breath. The paramedics were immediately called.
He wasn’t having a heart attack, but felt hands around his neck and a knee pressed into his chest. He said it was the strangest thing, but it was real . . . something was attacking him, but he couldn’t see who or what it was.
Sandra felt awful about putting her parents in danger and promptly found an apartment. She and Mary seemed to be doing fine until Mary started getting scratches on her back — scratches like claw marks. She also had bruises that couldn’t be explained.
They consulted another psychic for an explanation and help.
Other specialists were called in. Sandra, Mary, Sandra’s parents and to a degree Dan were interviewed and given suggestions and assistance in getting rid of the demonic entities that were attacking them.
It took time and consistency, but they were eventually free from those entities.
The strange thing was that when things were getting back to normal for Sandra and her family, Dan died and the dream house burned to the ground!!
We can only hope this freed the repairmen and their families as well.
Thanks for stopping by!!

This real ghost story hits home a bit with me and you may also be able to relate.
Sophie bought her first home after working for 15 years at her job.
The sad thing was that the room she selected for her home office felt uncomfortable and actually scared her.
I know this does sound strange, but I have a room in my home that feels uncomfortable at times. I feel as though I’m being watched. And . . . as it turned out, back in the late 1960’s a young man overdosed in that bedroom. He didn’t actually die there . . . well maybe, but the paramedics revived him and he later died in the hospital.
But . . . this isn’t my story, but Sophie’s.
As far as she knows, no one died in her house, but there was an elderly couple who lived there since the house was built and they lived out their lives in an assisted living facility. Thus the reason they sold the house to Sophie.
But something was definitely wrong. She would hear whispering voices, footsteps, smell food cooking and doors and cupboards would open and close at various times throughout the day and night.
She felt as thought the house didn’t want her there.
Even when she would leave the house to get her mail or water the flower beds or even sweep off the front porch, the door would be locked when she would return to go inside.
Fortunately, she hid a key outside and later carried a key with her whenever she went outside . . . but the whispering persisted, plus objects and even furniture would be moved around.
While all of this was going on, the elderly couple were alive and well in their assisted living accommodations. So, the previous owners were not haunting the house.
Sophie contacted a psychic to get to the bottom of this.
Evidently there was another house built on the property decades earlier and the residents of that former home were haunting her. The elderly couple were not bothered by them — either they were unaware of them or these spirits didn’t bother them and in turn didn’t bother the spirits.
So, why was Sophie so lucky to get their attention?
According to the psychic, Sophie was sensitive to them . . . and their vibrations or energy were at odds with each other . . . thus causing conflict . . .
And, if you want my two cents, they didn’t like Sophie and were going to make it uncomfortable for her.
But . . . as it turned out, the psychic helped the spirits crossover, thus leaving Sophie alone . . . but she still didn’t feel safe in her home and sold her house and bought another one where she had no paranormal experiences.
In a way I don’t blame Sophie for moving on . . . at least she made the house safe for the new buyers, but one never knows what ghostly spirits are hanging out with us.
Thanks for stopping by!

I suppose most ghosts are uninvited.
Janet moved into her new apartment. All seemed well with the landlord bringing in a refrigerator and an antique dining table and chairs.
Immediately, my thoughts are to cleanse the whole apartment and especially the items brought in by the landlord. But Janet was more concerned about getting her belongs moved in and set up.
Everything seemed fine at first, but one morning she walked out of the bedroom and noticed her living room furniture had been rearranged. She wondered if the landlord had been in her apartment . . . or something else.
She had a friend in the building, Sara, and ran over there . . . unnerved by having her living room furniture rearranged.
Sara immediately followed Janet into her apartment to see what Janet was talking about . . . but then saw that not only was the living room furniture rearranged, but the chairs to the dining table were stacked one on top of the other on top of the dining table.
Immediately Sara thought of poltergeists as in the movie, but didn’t say anything.
No way could Janet have done that and no way could Sara and Janet take them down without having the chair configuration topple down. They called the landlord.
The landlord and his crew set things to right, but Janet felt as thought something paranormal was going on and debated about moving into another apartment in the complex or finding an apartment elsewhere.
Things settled down for a few days, but then her refrigerator had “fallen” face down on the kitchen floor and everything in the cupboards and drawers were on the kitchen floor. No glassware or dishes were broken just on the floor as thought they fell out of the cupboards. Silverware and cooking utensils were added to the mess.
Janet contacted Sara and in turn contacted the landlord.
It was time for the landlord to come clean about the apartment. Something was going on and now Janet wasn’t feeling safe at all.
When the apartment complex was first built there were injuries reported and the builder plunged to his death while inspecting the roof.
It was unknown if the builder committed suicide or he slipped and fell to his death. But, construction was stopped for several years.
There was talk that the apartment building was built on an old cemetery. That was later proven to be false.
Eventually, another developer took over the project and the apartment complex was completed with two more wings added.
As far as the residents were concerned, they had no disturbances as experienced by Janet.
So, it was pretty much concluded that Janet was the cause of these activities.
Janet knew something paranormal was going on. No way would she rearrange her furniture and forget she did it . . . and the chairs on top of the dining table . . . and knocking over the refrigerator and emptying out the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen . . . She couldn’t imagine being responsible for all of that.
One evening while Janet was preparing for bed, her bedroom door flew open. Scared, Janet called Sara and the landlord to come over . . . she heard footsteps walking throughout the apartment.
The landlord called out to Janet to open the door . . . not hearing a response used his key and let Sara and himself into Janet’s apartment calling out to her.
As they walked into the living room, they heard the banging of doors slamming . . . bedroom doors and bathroom doors . . . Both Sara and the landlord felt a cold breeze pass them, open the front door and pass through . . .
Janet, finally came out of the bedroom . . . the landlord and Sara were standing with shocked expressions on their faces and basically speechless . . .
Over coffee, they concluded that something was definitely going on in that apartment. And maybe, just maybe it decided to go . . .
As strange as it may seem, it did leave . . . Janet did move out of the apartment complex . . . Sara still lives there. No one has experiences any ghostly encounters.
Thanks for stopping by!

Natalie and Mark found an old rocking chair on the side of the road.
It was old, but in perfect condition.
They picked it up, put it in the back of the truck and continued on to town to run their errands.
You may be thinking that picking up the rocking chair was an ill-advised decision for Mark and Natalie. I agree.
There are many items from furniture to jewelry that have been known to be “haunted.”
But . . . Natalie and Mark’s story turned out to be different.
Yes, they did pick up the rocking chair and set it in the bed of their truck and went on about the business they had in town.
When they returned to their truck . . . the rocking chair was gone . . . evidently someone stole it.
A few weeks later, when Mark and Natalie were returning to town, they once again saw the rocking chair on the side of the road.
They didn’t stop to pick it up, but agreed if it was still there on their way home, they’d pick it up and take it home.
Natalie thought it was an omen that the rocker was meant for them. She knew where she wanted to place it in her house.
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a creepy feeling about that rocking chair — the same creepy feeling I got when Natalie and Mark were telling me of their experience.
Yes, the rocking chair was still there and, of course, they picked it up, took it home and placed it in their home.
That night, Natalie couldn’t sleep. She made a hot cup of cocoa, sat in the rocker and relaxed sipping her cocoa and thinking of planting her garden and thoughts of burning down their farmhouse.
Disturbed, Natalie immediately got up, cleaned her mug and as she glanced over at the rocking chair on her way upstairs, she saw an old woman with white hair rocking in the chair and laughing . . .
She felt momentarily paralyzed . . . she called to Mark, but no sound escaped her lips . . . Natalie couldn’t remember what happened, but when Mark woke up, he found his wife sleeping on the staircase.
Over breakfast she told Mark what she remembered of the night before.
They decided to move the rocking chair out of the house.
They completed their chores about the farm and when they returned to the house . . . the rocker was inside and rocking . . . They both swear they heard laughter.
Mark decided to take the rocker outside, take an axe to it and scatter the pieces out into the woods near their home. But Mark’s truck wouldn’t start. He decided to take the rocker pieces to a clearing on the farm and burn the pieces, but the rocker would not burn.
He then dug a hole and put the pieces in it . . . only to find the rocker back in the farmhouse.
Mark and Natalie were frightened. They had no idea what to do next . . . except leave their home . . .
They did contact a psychic. They didn’t care if the psychic believed them or not. They were desperate to get rid of that rocker . . . and save their farm. Natalie was sure that old woman ghost was going to burn down the farmhouse and they didn’t want to be inside when she did it.
Well, the psychic believed their story. She had experienced other “haunted” or “possessed” items and knew a simple cleansing wouldn’t work for them. She contacted a priest for advice.
He would not perform an exorcism. He didn’t want to have anything to do it. The psychic and the young couple felt as though the priest knew more than he was telling them. They had no other choice but to sell the farm . . . and take what personal belongings they could pack and store in a storage unit until they sold the farm.
Fortunately, they did sell the farm . . . with the rocking chair inside . . .
They never picked up anything on the side of the road again . . . but a few years later, they drove by the farmhouse . . . only to find it had been burned to the ground.

I find it extremely heartbreaking when someone finally finds and purchases their “dream house” only to be scared to death to move in . . .
Brenda and Josh have been saving their money for years to finally purchase their 3-story beach house.
After escrow closed on the property, Brenda was feeling uncomfortable about it . . . but thought it was merely “buyers remorse.”
She didn’t say anything to Josh . . . but she later learned from her father-in-law that Josh had some second thoughts as well.
For Josh it began with disturbing dreams . . .
Something evil was chasing him away from the house . . . but he had to get back in to rescue Brenda.
Josh and his father went to the beach house a week after escrow closed to do some minor remodeling. They were planning to surprise Brenda by converting a couple of rooms on the top floor into a craft room with a sitting room loft where she and Josh could relax, watch television, read . . .
One of the other rooms was already set up for an office that Josh was going to use.
But . . . after the dreams . . . Josh was afraid to go inside. He heard about haunted places and how spirits didn’t like construction . . . even minor changes . . .
“Dad, do you know anything about dreams?”
“Dreams . . . like nightmares?”
“Sort of . . . can they be premonitions?”
“Tell me . . .”
Josh told him and braced himself for hearing about “buyer’s remorse”, but his dad told him of a paranormal experience he experienced when he was younger and went camping with his older brother.
“We decided to sleep on the beach. We set up a tent and had our sleeping bags. Grandpa gave us the key to the cabin we were staying in if we got cold, but he meant if we got scared. Grandma gave us some peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches in case we got hungry . . . and a thermos of hot chocolate.
“Of course your Uncle Bert was trying to scare me . . . but we just laughed off the sound of surf . . . and the wind and decided to turn off the lantern and go to sleep.
“I don’t believe I was sleeping very long when I heard a woman whisper in my ear . . . I couldn’t quite make out what she said . . . and thought it was Grandma telling me to wake up . . . but it was pitch dark out . . .
“I turned on my flashlight and looked around. Bert was sleeping . . .
“I ate half of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and washed it down was a cup of hot chocolate and decided to go back to sleep.
“Bert was shouting, ‘Get away from me!!'”
“He got out of his sleeping back, grabbed his flashlight and walked around the outside of the tent a couple of times . . . he called me to come out and look with him. The only footprints were Bert’s . . . and then mine . . . Bert was so sure someone came into the tent and . . . Bert never told me what the guy said, but he was scared and we ended our camp out and went back into the cabin.”
“Was it a dream?” Josh asked.
His father just shook his head . . . “I don’t know . . . but we both experienced something that night . . . ”
Josh concluded that dream or premonition . . .he should honor how he felt about the beach house and talk with Brenda about it. But his father beat him to it when she came to talk with him about her uneasiness of moving into the beach house.
“I know I’m being foolish . . . but I’m afraid to move into that house. Josh loved it . . . ”
“Maybe he did, but he has second thoughts as well.”
“Really? Did he see her?”
“Who?”
“The woman in the window. I saw her on the lower level when the realtor was showing us the house. I thought someone else was looking at the house. I forgot all about her when we walked in and looked around.”
They had a positive conversation which prompted Brenda to do some research on the beach house. She wanted to know if she saw a ghost and the place was haunted.
She found that an actress back in the 1920’s drowned in the ocean nearby. There was no mention of the exact address, but it got Brenda wondering if the actress had owned or lived in their beach house.
Unfortunately, Brenda didn’t get a good look at the woman, spirit or ghost that was in the house during their first visit . . . but Brenda thought she saw her again looking out of the third story window . . . all she remembered was the woman was dressed in white.
As Brenda continued to follow the story, years later there was a man who had been romantically involved with the actress who was charged and convicted for her murder.
Brenda made a copy of the article with the photograph of the man to show to Josh.
As you may have guessed, Josh just about fell off his chair when he saw the man . . . it was the man chasing him down the beach.
Josh and Brenda agreed to put the beach house back on the market. It did sell quickly. They decided to research different locations before house hunting again.
It is always good to follow your instincts — whether it’s just a feeling or in a dream. We are not alone . . . who knows who or what may be living in your own home.
