I have tons of experiences from my younger days, but I am going to skip over those and focus on things happening now. At one point in my childhood our house was so active that my mother sent us to live with our grandmother for a short while so that she could try to figure out what was going on. It was a crazy house, and fueled my passion for the paranormal in a big way.
Now I have moved from my hometown (Spartanburg SC) and live in Shelby NC with my fiance and her daughter. The house we live in is a Mill House (part of the Lily Mill complex) and is approximately 100 years old. It's small, and very poorly designed for space...but it's home, and we love it.
5 people have been born in the house, and 5 people have died in it. A murder took place in the 50's right in front of the house, and the street itself has had somewhat of a tragic history.
Our house, in a way, has a historic past. Shelby NC is known for bluegrass music, and my fiance's family has a historic link to it. Her uncle (one of the ones born in this house) was Hubert Davis, and he is a bluegrass legend. He played with Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs (also born in Shelby) and many other big names. Her cousin was the bass player for Randy Travis for a while. Our house has always had big names from the country music field hanging out here, and playing music. There are photos of Andy Griffith playing guitar with Tina's grandfather here, as well as Randy Travis, Waylon Jennings, Flatt and Scruggs, you name it...and, the house has always had a happy "family" energy and has always been filled with music.
Now, all the relatives who played are gone, passed away. But, they still very much inhabit our house. We hear music being played frequently ("fiddle" music mostly, but banjos from time to time as well) and lots of AVPs, audible voices can be heard here. We have caught some really good EVP evidence as well.
Our biggest phenomena is apportation. We constantly have things appearing and disappearing around here. Her grandfather was very fond of hard candy, like root beer barrels. We have come home on several occasions to find root beer barrels and peppermints on our bed. We also have a hallway that leads to our bathroom, and frequently coins (mostly pennies) will be lined up down that hallway in the direction of the bathroom. At night while we sleep we frequently hear loud crashes that sound like rocks being thrown, but we never see anything or find the projectiles. I have recorded the sound on several occasions and have played it for people, and they always say "Man, that's weird...".
But, apart from the happy family vibe going on here, we also have one dark presence, and I feel it is tied to the murder that happened on our street. It's not frequent, and only visits occasionally but it's here for sure. We see it floating down our hallway and we catch it out of the corner of our eye a lot. We have also caught EVP evidence that I feel is this entity. On one occasion we were having activity and I asked it "Why do you stay here" and the response on the recorder was a gravelly voice saying "LET ME GO!". I have no idea what it meant, because we certainly aren't holding it here, and I told it so.
We have frequent activity here. Some people would hate it, but for someone who is fascinated with this field it's great to be able to "study" the phenomena without even leaving the house. This is just a skim the surface type post, but wanted to contribute to the thread.
