Dance Studio Ghost
I work and live in a old warehouse now converted into a school. We had about 10 years ago 2 electricians working through the night, at 3am in the morning I went out to them as they where making a lot of noise.Asked them why, said they where leaving as someone spoke to them, he heard somebody walking on the roof, I said thats impossible. Also something was pulling a cart over the cobbles in the courtyard wearing boots that I agreed with heard that myself. They left.
Another time was in bed I live on site, heard horses coming along from afar, got louder went past my bedroom window heard about 2 horses the carrage as it passed my flat and went past the building.
Took a medium in one of the studios she collapsed said it was very heavy and gloomy in there, and a man was hanging at the end.
I could go on and on with stories I have heard from staff and security. I have also been through the building with night vision cameras got a lot of orbs on all floors and white flashes from the studio on the top floor.--BW from the UK

I am occupying my sisters house in Proctorville, OH. My 2 sons and I and other family members have experienced some unusual things in this old plantation (we suspect as per rumors) house.
The first incident I recall is slight trembling of my bed while I am trying to fall asleep. Objects being moved and reappearing elsewhere in the house, illumination of a room, laughter in the stairwell, and a figure that appeared to be KKK (white hood, white robe, holding a rope). It was several years that ago that a clock flew off of the kitchen wall and landed in the living room while I was readying myself for work.
Other family members have experienced rumbling noises and the whole house shaking (this area is not prone to earthquakes, nor were any reported), flashes of light floating about. -Diann
Out of Body and Near Death Experiences.
Have you or someone you know, nearly died or had an unusual out of body experience - or nearly died and had something odd happen? If so please send me that story. Other people can benefit by reading hwat has happened to you. Many people experience life changing events when nearly escaping death.
An example of the out-of-body component of the near-death experience is the case of Jazmyne Cidavia-DeRepentigny of Hull Georgia. She died on the operating table during surgery in late 1979 (pages 10-11, paperback version, "BEYOND THE LIGHT"): "I must say that this experience was quite unsettling to say the least. I was floating over my body. I could see and hear everything that was being said and done. I left the room for a short while and then returned to where my body lay. I knew why I died. It was because I couldn't breathe. There was a tube down my throat and the medical staff did not have an oxygen mask on my nose. I had also been given too much anesthetic.
"In my out-of-body state, I'm using my mind to try and make my right arm and hand move - my arms are extended parallel to my physical body. I want my right hand to move, any thing to move. I was trying to pull the tube out of my mouth. I looked down at my face and tears were streaming. One of the nurses blotted the tears from my face but she didn't notice my breathing had stopped, nor did she see me next to her. At this point, I'm trying really hard to make my physical arm move, but it's like my whole body is made of lead."
Cidavia-DeRepentigny's determination in her out-of-body state to make an arm move finally paid off; and, with great clamor and commotion, the tube was pulled out, an oxygen mask attached, and her breathing restored. She had a similar near-death episode when she was hospitalized at thirteen, and again in 1991 when she faced death a third time. The more recent occurrence resulted from a nearly fatal bout with pneumonia, only this time she witnessed her own soul as a spirit residing outside of her body:
"I could see my spirit standing before me. My spirit was so beautifully perfect, dressed in a white gown that was loose, free-flowing, and below the knee. From my spirit there emanated a bright, soft-white halo. My spirit was standing six to eight feet from my body. It was so strange, for I could see my spirit and my spirit could see my pathetic body. I had not an ounce of color and I looked all withered and cold and lifeless. My spirit felt warm and so, so celestial. As my spirit slowly moved away, my spirit told my body goodbye, for my spirit saw the light and wanted to go into it. The light was like a circular opening that was warm and bright."
Cidavia-DeRepentigny spoke of feeling torn between two worlds - wanting to remain on earth while at the same time feeling a strong pull to unite with her spirit self and pass into the light. After another round of hospitalization, she was left confused and disoriented, ready to change her life yet hesitant to begin. She lamented about the lack of people she could discuss her situation with, although her church bishop did express some degree of understanding. Her lament is commonly shared by most experiencers.
