Real Life Encounter: My Home

Hello everyone, hope you all have a great day. It is so beautiful out today. I am going outside with my sister later to get some work done in the yard. We just took our abouve ground pool out so we have a lot of work to do. For today’s post I am going to do another real life encounter, this one takes place in my home.

My family has lived in this house since I can remember & before. My father & aunt were born & raised in this house. It has been in my family for generations. My father, grandfather & uncle by marriage all died in this house. It is a two family house, altough it has always been only my family that has lived here.

When my aunt remarried & moved into her husband’s house down the street, I moved in downstairs. Before that I was living upstairs with my grandmother. Everything was normal the first few months I lived downstairs, then my sister & her boyfriend moved in & that’s when things started happening.

One night my sister’s boyfriend & I were sitting in the living room watching a hockey game. My sister was in her bedroom. She came out to use the bathroom, because she never shut lights off, when her boyfriend & I heard heropen the bathroom door we turned to make sure she shut off the light. She did. About 15 minutes later, I got up to get a drik & noticed the bathroom light on. None of us had gotten up & we were the only ones in the house.

Other times when I would be alone in the house cooking or cleaning, I would leave the drawer or cabinet open turn to grab something to put away & when I turned back the drawer was shut. Another night, a wicker basket that I had on my entertainment center fell off, it was in the center & there were no windows open or fans on, nothing that could have blown it off. It was defenitely knocked off.

I have recently come back home to live with my grandmother & my sister lives downstairs with her family. There have been times this past winter that I know I shut the heat in my room off, my grandmother even saw me do it & we would later find it on. Every night my grandmother cleans out the coffee pot before she goes to bed and in the morning when she wakes up, there is coffee in it. She asked me a few times if I made coffee after she went to bed & I didn’t. She even asked my sister if she came up to make coffee but she said no. So one night I watched my grandmother wash out the coffe pot & empty out the grounds. The next morning she woke me up to go look at the coffee pot & sure enough there were coffee grinds in it & a little bit of coffee in the pot. We asked my sister if she came up & she said no.

My sister & I think that it is my father & uncle playing tricks on us. They both loved to play pratical jokes when they were alive & even though they are passed on they are still up to their tricks. My sister & I have talked about having someone come in to investigate but my grandmother won’t let us. But we know who it is, they are still here with us. Letting us know that they are watching over us & protecting us… and still up to thier old tricks.

Well thats my ghost encounter, hope you all enjoyed it. Have a great day. If you have any questions feel free to email us & don’t forget to check out our store.

Real Life Encounter At The Lizzie Borden House

Hello everyone hope you are all having a great day. Today’s post is going to be another real life encounter. A friend of  mine, who is a medium,  stayed at the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts a few months ago and I asked her to write about her experience. Here it is:

Hey girl, I would love to tell your readers about my stay at the Lizzie Borden House. My boyfriend and I went to visit some friends in Fall River and decided to spend the night. Our friends didn’t have room at there house and the mentioned there was a bed and breakfast down the street so off we went to find it. My boyfrined was a little nervous about staying there at first but we really had no other choice at this point, so in we went.

Just our luck the only room avaiable was the room of Abigail Bordern, Lizzie’s stepmother. My boyfriend was totally freaking out but again we didn’t have a choice. As we heading through the parlor to our room. We walked past the couch were Lizzie’s father was found dead and I felt a hand grab my shoulder. It was a gentle gesture as if to say hello and welcome to my home. I looked back and thought I saw the figure of a man. I tapped my boyfriend but when he looked the man was  gone.

We headed up to our room and got ready for bed since it was pretty late.  We never actually saw anything during the night but I felt that someone else was in the room with us, I couldn’t quite make out who it was but I didn’t feel threatened. My boyfriend on the other hand woke up on several occasions saying that he heard screaming.

The next morning while we were eating breakfast with some of the other guests we saw coffee pots moving by themselves as if someone was carrying them across the room. Cabinets doors would open & shut by themselves. One of the other guests told us that she saw two children apparitions running through the house the day before. Once I got home I looked that up & it is believed that tthe neighbors children James & Sally, who died in the Borden well have taken up residence in the Borden House as well.

This was an experience that I will never forget. As you know I love staying in haunted places. Take care hon, and you really do need to get your man to take you there.

Hope you all enjoyed today’s post. If you have any questions feel free to email us at miraclesnmagic@comcast.net

Real Life Ghost Encounter: Destrehan Plantation Ghost

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a great day. I got my Christmas shopping done today. Today’s post is going to be a real life ghost encounter experienced by a friend of mine. Hope you all enjoy it.

Hey girl, I would be honored to tell my story for your blog. Hopefully it makes some believers out of your readers. We both know that it made one out of me. That’s right until my encounter I was a non-believer. Back in 1971, I went to New Orleans with my family, I was about 18 at the time. My father took us on a walk through all the historical houses, it was a great time. Anyway, we were touring the Destrehan Plantation, it’s located just outside of New Orleans. It is the oldest documented plantation home in the lower Mississippi Valley. While we were walking though the house I noticed a small key lying on the floor, I thought that someone may have dropped it. So, I picked it up and went to stick it in my pocket to return to the front desk, just in case the person came back. I took my hand out of my pocket & was just about to catch up to the tour when I felt a cold hand grab mine. I looked around thinking that my older brother was playing a joke on me. No one was there. The hand would not let go of mine. Then I remembered the key in my pocket. Now I have never believed in ghosts before but I sudden realized that this key in fact did belong to someone. The ghost holding on to my hand. Slowly I reached back into my pocket and took out the key. I bent down & put it back exactly where I found it. As soon as I did this, the ghost let go of my hand & was gone. I continued on my way & never told anyone for a long time. But I was a believer ever since that day.

What Is An Out of Body Experience?

Good morning everyone, I feeling a little better today. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Today,  We decided to talk about Out of Body Expereinces or OBEs. In today’s post we will tell you a little bit about OBEs, how to induce one & we will also give you a real life story about one that one of our very own here at Miracles n Magic experienced.

An OBE is an experience that involves the sensation that your are floating outside of your body. The term Out of Body Experience was first introduced by Robert Monroe in 1971, as a bias-free alternative to “astral projecting” or “spirit walking” Although the term usefully distances researchers from the scientifically problematic concepts such as the soul, scientists still don’t know much about the phenomenon. OBE’s are often part of near death experiences & sometimes lead to astral projection. Some people that have experienced OBE’s have claimed to have seen details that were not known to them before the experience. 1 out of 10 people has had an OBE at some point in their life.

In some cases, the phenomenon occurs spontaneously, other times it is associated with physical or mental trauma, the use of psychedelic drugs, dissociative drugs, or a dream-like state. There have been many techniques on how to induce an OBE, here is one that we have found useful:

1. Lie flat on your back, with your arms loosely by your sides & your head supported on a pillow. Relax & sense your body becoming lighter with every exhalation. Enjoy the pleasant feeling of numbness as you begin to uncoil the silver umbilical cord of etheric energy that binds your subtle to its physical counterpart.

2. Feel the warmth spreading across your stomach & permeating your lower back easing any tension & resistance caused by anxiety or stress. If you have any emotional blockages caused by unpleasant memories of your birth, or connected with your death in a previous life, this will release them.

3. Now focus again on your breathing and, with each exhalation, sense that you are forming a cushion of etheric under your body. You can float away on this & leave your problems behind.

4. Feel yourself rising from the floor, safe in the knowledge that you are secured by the silver umbilical cord.

5. Remember that you are in control at times & can return to your body at will.

And know for the real life experience; This was the First OBE for our very own Guilia, one of the founding partners here at Miracles n Magic.

“I remember my dream felt as though I was watching a movie. I literally felt my body lift my bed. I saw the silver umbilial cord uncurl as I floated up higher. I felt like I was flying, kinda like Wendy in Peter Pan. Then all of a sudden I felt my body fall onto the bed. It felt like a “soft plump”, kinda like if you were jumping up & down on the bed & you fell. For me it was just the feeling, I don’t remember much of the dream itself.”

Have a great day everyone. As always if you haved any questions feel free to email us at miraclesnmagic@comcas.net. Also please don’t be afraid to share your experiences with us, either here as a comment or email them to us. Hope to here from you soon.
