Haunted Homes in Poland

I don't actually live in Poland. I live in Southern California, in Riverside. There's an old Victorian house, located a couple blocks away from my home. It's referred to as the zinc roof house. According to Riverside legend, an old grandma died in the house several years ago. Supposedly she both haunts and protects the house, by watching passers-by from the roof tower. I've never seen the grandma look down at me from the tower. However, I sometimes feel chills going up and down my body, as I pass by the intriguing zinc roof house.

I passed through Riverside two weeks ago, on the way from LAX to Palm Springs! Didn't get chance to look around, though.


Ah, so it's the zinc roof that gives you the shivers!

Next time you're in good old Riverside be sure to visit our historic landmark,
The Mission Inn. It was built in 1902. Kind of resembles the Hotel California album cover.
It's said to be haunted by an actress who committed suicide within the hotel. She killed herself, because her acting career had become unsuccessful.

Interesting experience.

I never saw a ghost yet.

If you believe/hope of something supernatural. Then a negative supernatural can also exist.

I had a supernatural experience the other day. My Polish friend bought a round of drinks!!!!

I do believe there are entities around us, but i DO NOT believe that they are people who died. It is illogical to think that they would hang around for the eternity on earth.

Iam not a religiou person, but i believe when we die we must go somewhere and not stay around our graves or homes.

I was told once by a christian missionary that all those sightings and ghostly experiences are taylored by the hand of the devil. Just to distract us from the real truth.

Who knows

I didn't really believe in ghosts till about 4 years ago when i worked in a country club which was supposedly haunted and despite my co workers telling me not to go to the toilets after 9pm going in there, the cubicle doors slammed shut with none there, all the taps came on and i got pushed by something i couldn't see, That was rather scary and weird. Also I saw a person stood at the end of the bar that kinda convinced me that there must be something. Also when staying at my parents house i've seen things move by themselves but that could be anything as the house is over 600 years old.

I however don't believe in God or the Devil and am not religious in the slightest as i feel i don't need to go to a cold building once a week so that a man wearing a dress can tell me how to live my life and be a good person.

were you drunk dnz?

haha nice stories you read in this thread. Here one of mine:

I was 16, was in vacation with family in Peru, we went to one of the inca forts outside trujillo, and browsed around a bit. There are a lot of little perfored stones which the incas used to make neckeless, so i started looking for them as well. It was getting late so we had to leave, i took a big load of sand with me in a bottle to look for stones in it, later.

I left the bottle under my bed at night, big mistake!!!

It started by me having a dream of a huge black shadow kidnaping me, the fear made me awake, just to feel someone laying on me and stopping me from moving, the door started to slam, i heard footsteeps coming right at me, and the sofa suddenly began to shake..i heard laughter and weird noises.

I managed to get out of the bed and run to my parents. it was horrifyng..never again did i enter my hotel room, untill we left.

Advice of the story: never take old cementary sand home...spooky!!

If you don't believe in God then why do you believe in Ghosts/the afterlife? Do you have an alter meaning to that? And no, religion isn't just going into a cold building to be told by someone in a dress how to behave... I would say those are my philosophy courses at my relatively old stone walled school.

I have a question for misingfromheaven. I have been told by a few mediums that I have psychic powers. For example when I walk into houses I can feel the atmosphere in the house, almost straight away. Sometimes before something has happened, I have felt the stress, it is a feeling hard to explain, only to someone who understands, its like taking on the stress before it happens,the build up if you like. I pick up on atmospheres almost immediately, even if it is the first time I have met these people. Even if the person appears to be extremely nice on the outside, something seems to warn me and a dreadful feeling comes over me, I become quite nervous inside unable to relax.

I would be grateful if you could explain this from a mediums point of view, or any one else who could provide imput. I have also had many premonitions, sometimes hours before they happen, or sometimes minutes before they happen.

I have studied various books in this issue. However... are you an introvert?

Why should my non belief in god have any bearing on whether i believe in ghosts? I believe that the energy which is a persons soul has to go somewhere when their body dies but not necessarily a "heaven" or "hell" and some become trapped in the world with the living thus manifesting in visable apparitions or feelings etc

As for god and religion in general the bible has more plot holes and contradictions than an American sit com, Evolution has been scientifically proven so that proves that a "god" didn't create the world,

I'm not saying that all religious people are stupid as everyone has the right to believe what they want but I think the idea of having a big man with a beard sitting on a cloud watching your every move is somewhat archaic, I personally despise what religion stands for as the amount of people who have been killed in conflict over religion beggars belief.

No I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert. I am however a very open person, meaning that I can strike up conversations with almost everyone, whether I know them or not.

What i meant was ... do you love parties... are you the kind of person who shares all her feelings and thoughts with others?.... have you every enjoyed clubbing?... Do you have a boyfriend?

I think that you have been studying the wrong psychic books, maybe you should change your material because I don't think the ones you are reading are working that well.

Haunted Homes.

Load of rubbish, if you ask me and you are not.

My house is extremely old never seen anything here but one morning i awoke to find my DVD's scattered all over the living room floor, a large mirror on the floor and a very heavy chair dragged to right in front of the TV. I dont remember going on a living room rampage that night. Weird.

Superstitions and gods have one thing in common - if you take them out of the equation when looking for an explantion of something that occurred and deal rationally with what remains, there is always another answer. Dogs bark; winds blow things around; people do things and don't admit to them; bodies shiver when chilled; a person who is mindful of things is more aware of them when they occur; people imagine things; lights play tricks with photographs. Nothing supernatural exists. Deal with it.

This happens to me every night. Poltergeist no - teenage kids that have discovered the joys of The Doors etc yes. Messy buggers.

Yes but surely it would have to take one hell of a strong wind to blow a heavy chair infront of the tv set, indoors at that. Infact unless it was a tornedo I can't see how this would happen.

I lost my car keys once and when I came back to the place I had already checked they were there.

Option A,
A ghost from "the other side" physically manifested itself.
Crossing over from the side we can not see, to our side.
Perhaps to communicate with me, to tell me who murdered him,
So he could finally find his resting place and no longer have to roam the abyss of the earth alone for the rest of eternity

or maybe just to mess with my head.

Option B,
I did not check properly the first time.

although the first answer is more interesting and tells a good story (and we all like stories), I would go with the second option or a third but not the first.

"people do things and don't admit to them" (or forget they did them)

sleepwalking.

Well maybe so if they were sleepwalking, I have heard of this. and of people doing strange things, like opening and locking doors, and walking down the street in pyjamas.

Youre getting the haunted room.


Very interesting.

i'll tell all my ghost story one day. Too many people saw the same ghost and there are just too many incidents to explain it any other way. I'll say this now: it was all over a second hand bed which my Mother bought which i used to sleep in. Four seperate actual sightings from different people and many other mysterious happenings.

Something else a few days after i met my wife she told me about a fortune teller she met years before hand, so far everything has come true right up to the birth of our baby girl. i saw one when i was a child and she kept banging on about how rich i would be filthy rich, so much money i wouldnt know what to do with it, still waiting for that one.

A spiritualist, not the ones that read from the tarrat cards, the ones that actually get the messages from the dead, even said the name of my son. She did not know myself or my family from adam, so I believe that there are people who can really contact and mediate with he dead.

This summer moy Polish colleague and I were working in a summer school in Shrewsbury, England.

My friend bought a book about local ghosts. Being a local lad, I'd heard of several of them and showed him the old pubs and parts of town where these ghosts were/are supposed to hang out.

One particular pub has a cursed picture. Allegedly, some people who stayed in the room where this picture is committed suicide, others have had bad luck. I decided to ask the landlord if I could see the picture and he allowed me to. It was strange...

No apparent effects from seeing it... yet. My buddy said there was no way he was going to see it.

Had fun taking the kids (students) around some of these places and scaring them with the stories.

Describe the picture. How long has it been since you have seen it...

hello....u there?...alive? :)

Are you sure it was the picture or the actual price per night of the hotel?
