Supernatural Experiences

As a living person, I know all of us had gone through that stage in our life where we experience haunting, seeing ghostly apparitions, or some other supernatural activities. Most of us can see things others can't see. Some are even fascinated by the idea that there are others living among us that they try to learn more about them and be an expert when it comes to that area or topic. And in my case, I wasn't alone when I experienced all these things. I was with my siblings and with my cousins; and all of these happened in Los Angeles, California, in a small house in La Puente.

These experiences won't be in order but, here they are in a list:

• Summer 2008, my parents and my uncle and my aunt were having an adult talk in the kitchen while my cousins, siblings and I were at the living room spending time together. Suddenly, my Dad came running out the front door. He went towards the little door that led to the backyard. My cousins and I were confused as to what is happening when my Dad came back inside the house. While we were in Vegas, I found out that my Dad saw an apparition of a man walking by the kitchen's window and when he came out to check it out, no one was there. Hence, the nickname my cousins and I gave to that apparition: "Ulo" which is "head" in English.
• My cousins Jed and Keith both had a dream about a guy digging up a hole in their backyard.
• My cousin Jed's wife, Ate Joy had a dream one night about a guy who hanged himself in the backyard tree.
• One night when my cousins and I were gathered up in Kuya Jed's room, we were talking about our experiences. Kuya Keith told us that one time, he woke up at midnight because he was feeling thirsty so he went to get a drink in the kitchen. When he was done in the kitchen and before he turned off the lights, he saw a little girl standing in the corner of the room, staring at him.
• Kuya Jed was taking a bath at 5:30 in the morning and the faucet would randomly turn off.
• My family and I went out one afternoon together with my uncle, aunt and my cousins and Ate Joy was left in the house because she still has some school stuff to do. She told me that she locked herself in her room because she kept on hearing footsteps and some things being moved around in the living room.
• When my Mom and Dad came back from their short visit in Utah to check out our house, my Mom told me that once she saw a white figure walking back and forth outside the kitchen door leading to the backyard.
• One afternoon, Kuya Lou, Ate Joy, Bianca and I were watching Paranormal Activity in the living room when the movie suddenly pauses out of nowhere. We were watching the movie in my cousin's Xbox and the controller wasn't nowhere near where we all sat. My Mom witnessed it all too and she told me that before it happened, when she was walking towards the room where we currently sleep in, she suddenly felt goosebumps and when she came back, the incident happened.
• My Aunt Miriam had a party in her backyard for her 50th birthday and my cousins and I were busy assisting guests so basically, we were walking around the house from time to time. I had to go to the bedroom to fix myself up because I was slowly turning to look a little haggard. I came out of the room after a couple of minutes and I made sure I leave the door closed because no guests would want to see the inside of the room. I went back to the backyard and my Mom suddenly called me back inside to tell me that I left the door open. I told her I shut it closed. She scolded me for keeping the door open even though I didn't. Moments later, I had to use the bathroom and I saw that the door was once again open. And no one came in after my Mom scolded me.
• Same day as Aunt Miriam's 50th birthday party, Ate Joy went into her room to get something and she noticed that the TV was open so she shut it down. When she came back with us after she told Bianca and I about it, the TV was open once again and Bianca and I were there to witness it.
• When Kuya Jed's cousins from San Francisco came to Los Angeles for a visit, we were alone. Our parents were in Utah that time and my cousins' parents were away for the night and they won't be coming back 'till the next day. My cousins and I were playing Slap Jacks and the game was so good it took us 'till one in the morning. We only stopped when Ate Joy silenced us and we heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen when nobody was there and everyone else except us were already asleep.

The best part is when my cousin Jed had a psychic reading one time in the mall and believe or not, it was surprisingly accurate. The psychic said that there was a spirit that always comes with us wherever we go. One spirit was someone who recently died that was close to our family and our grandfather died just recently that time and he serves as our guardian angel, keeping the bad spirits from messing with us. Ate Joy and Ate Thyn was having a misunderstanding for almost a month and we learned that there was a spirit trying to make each and everyone of us have a misunderstanding with each other, it was trying to make us fight with each other. That same spirit also wanted to ruin the marriage of my cousin Jed and Ate Joy. Aunt Miriam and Uncle Bobby doesn't want to believe in all these crap but once they got to experience it, they have grown to believe it as well.

Another thing we learned about is about those dreams Kuya Jed, Kuya Keith and Ate Joy had and that little girl Kuya Keith saw. When Kuya Keith, Bianca, Ate Joy and I were hanging out at the kitchen we learned that an accident happened in front of the house and it almost killed the guy, but he survived giving him somehow a second life. That same guy was the one Kuya Jed and Kuya Keith saw in their dreams. The little girl, we figured, was killed by that guy and the hole he was digging was for the little girl and once he buried the girl, we figured that maybe the guy got guilty so he killed himself by hanging himself on the tree.

I got to say, these experiences would always be kept in my mind forever for I have never experienced this kind of incidents before. I hope that I won't get to experience something like these again because I've always been afraid of ghosts and it would scar me forever if I ever saw one in person.
