You’d think with “so many” that I’d know at least one.

Photo experiences:

I used to visit cemeteries to photograph the statues and old family crypts (some are so beautiful!), and I did take a strange picture one afternoon. The first was with this white shape that was sort of blob-like with many different curves over a section of graves. I took another a few seconds later and it was gone. I did not see this with my eyes, but was surprised when I got the photos back. Years later I sent it into a local paranormal group site to see what they thought, but never heard back.

Another photo was a few years ago at the Tacoma Zoo of all places. We were trying to take a picture of the wolves which were in this large, enclosed area of forest… And in the photo you can see this distinct shape of a man hung from a noose in one of the trees. In the second and third photos there is no sign of it. I actually have those on my computer as they were taken with a digital camera.

Personal experiences:

Aside from growing up in the haunted house, my mother used to send me to a hypnotherapist when I was 12, where I was put under time and again and while I am sure the therapist had only good intentions, she wanted me to be open to experiences (I was very shy). Well, from that point onward I have to say that I’ve seen some very bizarre things, and felt. More so, I can be “asleep” but am awake (I have a conscious awareness while in this state when it happens) and hold long conversations with people who are not even there. It’s not a dream-like state as I am aware of the room I am in and what is around me, rather I feel like I am connecting with something that is not even alive but it is communicating to me and so I address it and try to get it to talk to me. I do not know if that is communicating with spirits or not, but it happens from time to time. I cannot force it, though. It happens on its own accord.

Everything else is just small things, sensations and sometimes emotions which are not my own. It’s very difficult to express unless you’ve experienced it yourself. But I would say I have been in contact with varying spirits innumerable times throughout my life and tend to be able to sense them. And no, I am not one of those people who are comfortable with such a thing, it’s actually quite frightening when it occurs.

I am a Christian, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I’ve known at least, Hundreds, if not Thousands, of Christian White Males, none of whom had Mail-Order Brides, of Any nationality.

The closest of known to was my brother, Not a Christian, who married a girl from China, not a MOB, he actually went, met her, and married her. They didn’t stay together, and as it stands she is doing much better than he is.
