These get more interesting as it goes along so thought I would post them to see if anyone has had similar instances of paranormal events or share your stories.

1997
Living in Parachute, Colorado my father comes to visit. I am inside the house alone while my mom is outside. My dad arrives at the house and when I go out to great him the door is closed (appeared to be closed by the wind) and I am locked inside until my dad opens the door effortlessly. The door is a light aluminum door I believe and not very hard at all to open, I had lived in the modular home for at least a year so the front door wasn't something that would have been challenging for me to open. The door was not locked when it shut, and as hard as my younger frame tried to open, the door wouldn't budge, so I sat and waited, never hearing or seeing anything unusual.

I go to visit cousins in Utah and use their downstairs shower. While washing in the shower I began to feel a strong stinging pain in my eye. I was not using shampoo or soap at the time but the pain went away shortly and I figured it for just being something in the water or that some how it just really irritated my eye. Once I finished showering I was about to get out when I noticed fresh wet foot prints on the bathroom mat and floor! Still puzzled by what happened there even today I have nothing to chalk this up to accept something paranormal since I was the first person to use the shower that morning (it was sometime after 0600 since we had to leave early to get to our destination with good time).

1998
Moving into a new house in the Redlands near Grand Junction, CO after moving objects out of the car the doors were slamming close on their own. No they aren't electric and no they don't close easily.

1998 or 1999
New place in Grand Junction, CO I am having a friend sleep over and during the middle of the night the chairs in the dining room are heard shuffling about as if being pushed in or moved. Both I and my friend hear this and tell my Mom. She insists its nothing and tells us to go back to sleep downstairs. My friend and I push in the chairs and go back into the living room and lay on our sleeping bags. No more than 10 minutes later we both hear the chairs move and look into the dining room to find the chairs in different pushed out positions and proceed to my Mother's room.

2000
Helping a friend's older brother move out of an old apartment. The previous owner died in the apartment and I cannot remember the cause. After moving much of the furniture out the gang decides to go dump the stuff off at his new place while my friend and I stay behind. I go back inside to find his bro's volleyball and start bumping it to myself and accidentally hit it out the door. My friend has been outside this entire time, which was only a span of a few minutes, to throw some trash away but when I passed through the doorway to collect the ball I heard a voice right inside my ear whisper, "I've got it.". I kept outside and kept to myself about it.

2004
This is the most that has ever happened in a single year to me. I was in Carlton, OR at the time and shaving before heading over to my Aunt's house. While shaving, in the mirror, I noticed the office door open into the hallway. Everyone was gone but I figured it simply hadn't been shut all the way so I went back looked inside to see if the window was open, which it wasn't, and then proceeded to close the door and go back to shaving. Less than a minute after I noticed the door creak open again, and this time I heard the door unlatch, and just as creepily as it opened it shut. needless to say I didn't finish shaving and headed over to my Aunts and told them the story. There is no draft in that part of the house and the door was open to almost 70 degrees so its hard to believe it was just wind, especially after I just made sure it was closed all the way.

Next, again I am in the house alone! This time I am up in my attic room watching T.V. when I start to here some mumbled voices coming from downstairs. I start trying to listen with my ear to the floor and it sounds like its the voice of my dad talking to some lady that didn't sound familiar, but all I could make out sounded muffled. It was early in the afternoon so my dad and anyone else wouldn't be home for at least 3 hours. Perhaps someone broke in, I thought, so I ended up grabbing a double edged throwing knife and creep downstairs to see if anyone was around where I thought I heard the voices. Nothing, silence, I check the office and then the rest of the house and no one is around. I go back to my room and the voices are not heard again and I stayed there til someone got home.

2005
Same house in Oregon. I am use to walking around the house in the dark and usually don't bother with the lights. One night I am coming from my room to the kitchen, which is a path that basically you turn right from the stairs and then straight down the hall and through the bathroom, upon walking through the bathroom doorway I am suddenly ice cold and it feels like all the air has been robbed from my lungs. I take a step back to regain myself and realize that in front of me the area is not dark but simply shadow. A black possibly two dimensional (it was hard to tell, it was dark) shadow about the diameter of a beach ball with black vapors traveling in all directions. In seconds flat I reached and flipped on the kitchen lights and it was gone. Figment of my imagination?

2009
After being gone for several years the strange haunting at my house has continued and it doesn't seem to show signs of stopping or of it being anything all the meddlesome. I went to visit my Dad and his family while on leave and it turns out that the ghost has been somewhat accepted by the family as it appears to have possessed one of my half-sisters toys! This is where it gets funny/creepy, my dad brings up the story about this newly possessed doll one day at breakfast after I mention to him how creepy it was that while I was watching T.V. it randomly started talking to me. He told me that they have had it for just a few months and one night while he was watching T.V. late at night the doll started talking to him using apparently random phrases along the lines of "I love you." or "Are you my friend?" (not word for word). The creepiest thing about it is that it uses phrases like these at times when it seems to make perfect sense for someone (or something) to say,

NOW SOMETHING REALLY SHOCKING!

After the event of ghost hunting ended that night, remember the guy who felt like he was touched on the shoulder? Well turns out they (him, his brother in law and his sister) get home and the others notice a firm red hand print on his left shoulder, and if not shocking enough, they found the imprint of an evil smiley face on back of his leg! Evil smiley face, sounds cooky right, but you gotta see it! It was texted to my razor so I guess I have to download a razor emulator to my computer to download the pictures? Other weird things that happened were the videos. There would be captured audio of what sounds like low howling wind and then when we went back to listen again it wouldn't be there, also strange occurrences with video, at one point during the provoking I remember my camera getting very green pixilations forming boxes that were swaying but unfortunately this is not recorded, instead when we reached that point in the video the video turned into a strange grey but when we tried to review it simply vanished. I guess these were possible technical difficulties.

I only have raw video to upload if folks want to see it, I don't have an editing program so I can't make it all nice and brief for the good parts. Also if anyone has audio programs in which they can capture white noise, please let me know and I will send the videos to you!

Evil Smiley Face:

This I believe was located on the back of his left leg.

Orb Close Up:

You can see the orb sort of looks like a nucleus and has an orange/yellow outer membrane with sort blueish inner membrane(?) and you can even make out pores in its surface and perhaps the nucleus thingy itself in the center.

More Orbs:

Buddy said he could see faces in the orbs on his computer but I don't see anything.

There are more pictures of the inside of the school but only if people are interested and have the programs to digitally enhance them.

The forum appears to be cutting off the rest of the photos, if you want to see the rest of it, especially the close up of the orb just check my photo album.

physical evidence and no replies im a little shocked.
not even someone to challenge what i have presented???

[edit on 6-11-2009 by GenLo]

Part of the reason for no replies is that your thread is kinda lengthy.

Like how you divided the first part with dates, but the second half is very hard to read.

Anyway, Could the evil smiley face just be a joke they were playing on everybody to make everybody think the place was haunted?

What is your opinion of orbs?

Still reading your personal experiences.

On the myspace photos on 2nd page, 2nd to last picture.

Just looking at the pic without zooming, I can make out a face.

When I zoom in with firefox zoom, the orb looks like it a picture of a cartoon character.

On the picture you have on the thread showing the wooded area, I see a bluish color in the middle of the orbs.
