Strange Occurrences At Our Home |
 |
Written By Dawn
I thought I would share a few ongoing occurrences that my family and I have experienced in our new home. Well, it's new to us, but the house was built about 35 years or so ago. We bought the house about three years ago.
Shortly after moving in, I was locked out several times while carrying groceries into the house. Each occurrence was the same. I'd unlock the door after returning from the store, bring in my purse and my first load of bags. I'd then return to the car for a second load of groceries, and the front door to the house would be re-locked. Luckily, I have several spares hidden around the property. This happened three or four times, then it stopped. Months go by, then we went out of town for the annual family trek to the Alamo, and we entrust two of our close friends to house sit for us while we were away. The same thing happened to them several times in the span of two days. But stopped after we returned. The doorbell would also ring for no reason, several times a week. This lasted for a couple of months, then stopped. My husband's office overlooks our front porch and he keeps his blinds open, but never saw anyone.

The Spanish Governor's Palace |
|
By ReverendChaos
The following is an article that I started writing after visiting the Spanish Governor's Palace last year, but am just now getting around to finishing and posting. Questions or comments are more than welcomed.
It's said that the often overlooked Spanish Governor's Palace in downtown San Antonio, Texas has seen more death and murder per square foot than any where on earth. Taken into account it's use as a military headquarters to defend the surrounding area from hostile Comanche attacks and French invasion, and it's use as a jail and execution site, it's no wonder that the Governor's Palace carries that title. Some say that it also may lend to the place's haunting.
The Spanish Governor's Palace was first established as the "Military Presidio de Bejar" in May of 1718 when Spanish had control over the Texas region. The Palace, though it never actually served as a literal palace, originally housed the Presidio Capitan, who also served as the Governor for the region known then as Tejas. This presidio also protected what was then known as Mission de Valero (the Alamo) and the surrounding community. In 1772, Marques de Rubi ordered the presiding Governor and his company to relocate from Los Adeas to San Antonio, making San Antonio the new Capitol of Texas. It was from then on that the Spanish Governor's Palace would serve as the young Texas' equivalent to the White House, housing it's presidio captains; hosting both Spanish dignitaries and Indian tribal representatives; and serving as the birthplace for early Texas law under Spanish rule.

Discerning the ghosts âin hidingâ versus manifested ghosts in people |
|
Anjana writes "We sit at the edge of our seats when watching a movie like ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’. Such violent and obvious ghost manifestations are very visible and show a ghost fully manifested. But is there such a thing as ‘a ghost in hiding’ (unmanifest)? This article discusses the two forms of ghost possession, the manifest and unmanifest possession.
Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) though neither visible to the gross eye, nor perceived by the other sense organs, mind and intellect affect all of mankind. The manifestations of distress due to ghosts or negative energies are varied, and can be from a person displaying uncharacteristic behaviour to erratic violent behaviour. Ailments and disorders such as addictions, various physical and psychological illnesses, family problems, business problems etc. can be caused due to possession or manifestation of ghosts."
