YOU MUST READ THE WHOLE THING FOR BONE CHILLING RETELLINGS OF TRUE PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD AT MY CURRENT HOUSE
This one is a doozy so buckle in. I live on the border of Colorado and Wyoming, in the middle of bum fuck nowhere on a 10-acre ranch. Now our house is on a trailer, but it's on cinderblocks if that makes sense. The road by our house used to be a part of the pony express, we believe our ranch is on an Indian burial ground, and to make things better a really popular bison ranch not too far from us called the Terry bison ranch has found Tee Pee rings on their property. Our neighbors who we get hay from, part of their house used to be a part of an old railway station and railway line before the golden spike, and the railroad is no longer there anymore, so long story short, our land and the land around us has a lot of history.
On to the paranormal stuff. My mother owns some stuff that was my great grandmothers, and she is dead. This first instance is one my step dad had long while ago that started this journey. My Step dad, who is basically my best friend, has diabetes, and he has trouble sleeping. So, in the middle of the night, he goes out, grabs a snack, and sits down at the table and eats it, goes back to bed. Well one night he got up, and he saw an old lady walk from our kitchen to our laundry room. The next morning, he told all of us about it, and my step dad is a jokester that likes to get you all worked up, so nobody believed him. Well that night was the start of things that occurred on our ranch that we cannot explain and we 100% believe It is something paranormal because all of us have had our experiences.
Now my family wasn't new to the paranormal, we stayed at the old western hotel down near Durango, and we heard kids laughing in the hallway in the dead of night, and we opened to door to find that nobody was there. We were the only kids in the hotel, now I was a baby so technically the story I'm about to tell you is my first paranormal experience.
My first experience happened outside. See my stepbrothers like to come over every once in a while, and when they do we like to play a game called hide and seek in the dark. The game is simple, me my 2 step brothers, and my sister go outside in pitch black, and play hide and seek. We all get a flashlight, and you can go anywhere on the ranch and if you're tagged, you're it first the next round. Well since I was the youngest, I went first. See my older step brother is prone to hide in the strangest of places, one time he hid in the dumpster. Well, I was walking over towards our barn and there is an overhang next to a door that leads inside. I saw a black shadow standing there, and I immediately assume it was my step brother. Before I get farther let's assign everyone fake names so we don't get mixed up:
Mom- Mom
Step Dad- Zachary
Step brother oldest - Tyrese
Younger step brother he is still older than me, just younger than his brother – Timberlake
Older sister - Tristia
Younger sister still older than me - Amanda
Okay now everyone has names. Well, I assume this black shadow is Tyrese, so I turn off my flashlight so he doesn't see me. When I begin to approach the shadow starts to move. You see if you follow the barn, there is a wooden fence that connects the barn and the chicken coop. So, when I approach this shadow, it begins to go down that way towards the chicken coop. So, I follow it, and my plan was when it turned the corner, I was gonna jump out and get him. So, the shadow turns the corner and I turn the corner and nobody was there. I was looking everywhere, under the trailer, inside the chicken coop, around the chicken coop, everywhere, and there was no one. Strange, so I think I just must've lost Tyrese.
Skip to the part where I find Tyrese, Timberlake and Amanda, they were on the other side of the ranch all together. So, when I caught them, I asked "Who was over by the overhang at the barn?"
They all start laughing
"What's so funny?"
Timberlake says "what are you fucking blind? We were over here the whole game." Mind you they were on the COMPLETE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
My stomach dropped. I didn't tell them what I saw because I couldn't believe what I saw. A few weeks later my Tyrese and Timberlake leave. A few nights after they left, me, Zachary and Tristia are eating dinner. Zachary says "what's that over by the barn?" We all proceed to stare out the back glass door. We all looked out there and there was an apparition of a man clear as day that ran into one of the stables with our jersey cow. Now where this stable was right next to the overhang where I saw the shadow. Zachary grabs our double barrel 12 gauge and heads out to the stable. He looks from the outside of the panels and doesn't see anybody, so he climbs inside the stable and looks around, and nobody is there. He comes inside and the first thing that he said when he walked inside was "Yall thought I was fucking crazy when I said I seen an old lady in here, well now you are all crazy too because I know you saw that man over by those stables." Me and Tristia looked at each other and I said "Holy shit you're not crazy. I saw that and Tristia saw that what the fuck is going on." Remember how i said my step dad Zachary was like my best friend? Well, the night I saw the shadow, I told him what I saw. So, we started connecting the dots after this incident. We saw that shadow again by the stable a month later.
We believe the spirits at our house are friendly, and we think some of the spirits are native American spirits because we think our house is on an Indian burial ground because we have found arrow heads on our property. Zachary is a heavy machinery mechanic and on his way home from work, they had found a confirmed Indian burial ground next to the highway. Well, he stole an arrow head from the place they had dug up the burial ground. So that doesn't help our case. Now this is where shit starts to get crazy.
Tristia Is home alone outside and hears inside the house what she describes as "Sledge hammers pounding on the cabinet doors." The volume was indescribable she claims.
At this point we had made the paranormal thing a joke, like if something fell, we said "That damn Indian knocking everything down." We had kinda just accepted the fact that our house was haunted. Well Tyrese and Timberlake had come back over again for a few weeks. One night I'm in my room playing with my model trains, when my door opens, not by a lot, but opens and then shuts. Now I saw feet at the bottom of my door when this happened, so I thought that Tyrese had peeked his head in to come in and check in on me.
I opened my door and said "Tyrese what do you need, or did you need something?"
Tyrese is at the sink in the kitchen with Zachary washing dishes "Huh?"
"Do you need something?"
"What are you talking about OP?"
"I saw you come to my door what do you need?"
"I have been here the whole time, what are you talking about."
I can tell when Tyrese is joking or not and he was dead serious. I explained to them what happened and they both said that they were there the whole time, and Timberlake was outside with Tristia. My mother was in her bedroom across the house. I thought that was super weird. Now this is where shit got super real. The next night Tyrese is hungry, and grabs a snack, he sits down at the table, looks up and across from him at the table was an old lady. It startled him and he jumped out of his chair. The next morning, he told us all about the incident and Zachary proceeded to say "I told you I am not fucking crazy." Skip to a few days later and Tyrese is with my mom and they are looking through a photo album. Something catches Tyrese's eye and he tells my mom to stop and not flip the page. He then proceeds to point at a woman who he has never met or seen in his life, and he didn't even know her name, and he said "That's the lady I saw at the table sitting across from me." The lady who he had just pointed to was my deceased great grandmother. Zachary claims that was the woman who he saw walking from the kitchen to the laundry room.
A few months later I'm in the kitchen, home alone with Amanda and I was washing dishes. I am washing the dishes and i feel a tap on my shoulder. Like I full on felt a hand on my shoulder. I swung around and Amanda was across the kitchen. I asked her "did you just touch me?"
"No."
"Well, somebody did."
"Okay sure."
She didn't believe me.
Now for the past year everything seemed to have calmed down, until just about 3 months ago.
Zachary said that his cabinet door was always open, he would shut it, get in the shower, get out, and it would he open again. One of our dogs if he went into the bathroom with that cabinet, he would always be looking up at the ceiling. Well, I was home alone all by myself one day and I experienced the same thing Zachary did. I was cleaning and his cabinet door was open. I closed it, came back into the bathroom and the cabinet door was open again. And it can't just swing open, if you were to open it just a tiny bit, it would close because of the hinges, it has to be opened all the way to stay open.
This happened just about a month ago. I was sitting on the couch with my dog, and she is a blue healer, and when she looks at something you can tell when she is. I was sitting on the couch with her, and she suddenly looks into the hallway that leads into my room. Keep in mind I always shut my door that way our dogs don't get in my room and chew everything up. Well, she gets up off the couch, still looking into the hallway while walking towards it, and then stops. Still having her ears perked up she continues walking again and turns and looks into my room. My door was wide open... and the light was off and you couldn't see a thing. I was behind her and she was staring into my room with her ears perked still, then she cocked her head and began barking violently at nothing. That gave me chills.
Finally, the last incident that has happened recently. Zachary had gotten up for his midnight snack. I was up and so I had a snack with him and we talked for a bit when all of a sudden, we hear footsteps at the front door, and they went into Zachary and my mom's bedroom. Then we didn't hear them anymore until we heard a growl come from their room. We both exchanged words about what we had just heard and agrees that we had just heard correctly and had heard the same thing. My mother also claims that she has heard something fidgeting with the front door.
I hope you enjoyed my haunted house’s story about true things that have happened to me. There were some tiger instances that happened but I can't remember them right now, I do have some pictures of where some of the things took place so if you'd like to see those, I can post some in the replies to help give you a picture if where everything happened. Hope you guys enjoyed!
