"What I can only describe as a hooded figure standing in the doorway of the half bath looked at me and then vanished. That one freaked me out."
I recently received the following account from a reader:
"Hello, Lon. My name is James and I live in North Carolina. I'm sharing some paranormal experiences I've had with you. My earliest was when we lived in Durham when I was very young, in 1977 or 1978. Sitting in my small chair in front of the TV, I felt a hand on my right shoulder. I was 4 or 5 years old at the time but I will never forget this. It felt kinda as if your hand or foot was asleep, like a numbing feeling. My parents were behind me on the couch and I knew it wasn't one of them. I was terrified. I did not look over at my shoulder because the fear was that strong.
Another incident was when we moved to King, NC. My younger sister and I were watching cartoons on a Saturday morning in 1984 or so. My younger brother, the middle child, was still asleep upstairs. My sister and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and I told her I was 'gonna get him.' I crouched at the foot of the stairs and listened for him to get close to the bottom and then I jumped out and said, "About time you woke up!" But no one was there.
Fast forward to 2008 and my ex-girlfriend and I are staying a weekend at her mom's place in Kibler Valley, Virginia. We are upstairs in bed watching TV with the sleep timer set. As we are both about to doze off the ceiling fan comes on and I'm talking the chain is pulled and we both clearly heard this. She said, "Did you hear that?" I said, "Hell yes!" We went downstairs and slept on the couch. The next morning we told her mom and she said I'm sorry.
Two more then I'm done. Both were in 2009. First was one morning when I woke up and grabbed the TV remote I always keep on my nightstand. Like I said before I always set the sleep timer. So, anyway, my remote wasn't there. I got up, turned the TV on manually, and started looking for it before I had to get ready for work. Nothing. When I got home from work I looked all over my bed and room, between the rails, under, on the headboard, and sheets. Nothing. I had a TV that required a digital box at the time so I had another box and remote the same brand I wasn't using and I just thought the remote was gone?
One morning, about six months later, I get up for work, turn on my TV, get out of bed, and flip the covers to make bed. I hear something hit the floor. I walk around the bed and see my remote lying on the floor. I pick it up to put on the nightstand, and the other remote is there.
Lastly, I'm a carpenter by trade and the company I work for builds custom homes. A house nearing completion was built on the site of a mid-1800s house. One morning when we arrived at work I went in the side door we used to enter via a hidden key to unlock the front door. As I rounded the corner from the kitchen to the front door there was a half bath to the right of the front door. What I can only describe as a hooded figure standing in the doorway of the half bath looked at me and then vanished. That one freaked me out. I really enjoy P&M!" J
