My favorite Unsolved Mysteries episodes were 'Rainboy' (concerning Donnie Decker, one who could make it rain indoors) and 'The Lady in White'. Along with those favorites I truly appreciated 'The Entity' produced by Sightings. Those were among the most well documented superatural activity I have seen. After viewing them I am encouraged because I realized that I am by no means alone in having encountered the supernatural.

I am not a paranormal investigator, psychic researcher, or a 'ghostbuster'. I am merely an unknown small town pastor who was asked by some people who had been attending our congregation to come help them with a very serious problem that developed in their home. In the early fall of 2005 they showed me some pictures they had taken of the evening sky just west of their house. The first few didn't seem out of the ordinary but a few of them had very unexpected results:

The one below taken at twilight. Sorry it is so blurred but it reveals how clear and dry the weather was:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Dec27185.jpg
The next picture reveals the same crescent moon but the house and trees are nowhere to be seen and a few orbs have appeared in the picture. But the next picture left us all befuddled:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Sep18179.jpg

Then there was the stunner:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Sep20188.jpg

They told me that not only were the conditions dry but that the camera lens was clean. So we were puzzled. So I put the picture through an infra-red process with an Acro-soft Photoimpression4 program and this is what we got:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Sep18176.jpg
But in addition to the dry conditions and clean lens, there were very few stars that appeared between the trees from the view the picture taker had that evening. Certainly most, if not all of the 'stars' in the picture are not stars at all.

Little did I realize when I considered these photos that this was just a hint at what was the beginning of a horrendous battle that the family would experience to maintain the calm and serenity of their home and their own sanity would be tested by a plethora of poltergeist activity that descended on them within a few months. (More to come)

Then in late December of 2005 I received a late night phone call from the owners of the house. They told me that 'all hell had broken loose' in the house and that glasses, jars, plates, and other objects were being thrown by unseen hands and broken on the walls or floor. They said that chairs and tables were being overturned and strange noises were coming from upstairs. This couple awakened their five children, ages 13,11, 9, 9, & 7 yrs old and gathered them into the living room where they were all huddled together and praying while the onslaught continued. I could hear the terrible noise of things breaking and furniture beng overturned and I could also make out what sounded like someone walked upstairs with very heavy boots. But the owner checked it out and he could find no one upstairs. I prayed with them over the telephone and asked the Lord to stop the attack. The poor family and their crying children were terrified by all of this. But the attacks finally stopped abruptly at 5 AM.

I traveled the 212 miles distance between our church and their home and attempted to help in any way I could. When I got there I discovered the family inside their maxi-van in the driveway. They were too frightened to even stay in their own house because of the things being thrown and candles being lighted by themselves. After meeting with the owners wife in the driveway I noticed one could see candle light through the basement window that appeared to be on the floor. We investigated and found a scene like this:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/ygpF694.jpg

As I recall the very first 5-pointed star was green. I quickly snuffed out the candles and kicked them aside and then we painted the basement floor with white paint. This we had to do many times because the 5-pointed stars would seemingly appear out of nowhere. At first I wondered if some prowlers had been in the house but the stars kept appearing in the same places, in some cases within moments after we had turned and walked away from another white-washing job on the floor. We never found any evidence that prowlers had been in the house.

That such 5-pointed stars were connected with the occult has been challenged by some where I have made this public elsewhere because those who use the pentegram object to the idea that malevolant spirits cause such hauntings like I am describing here. But what the family found on the kitchen floor left no doubt that the stars in the basement were occult connected:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/pic266.jpg

This event was discovered just moments after the family heard the noise of the drawers and cabinets being jerked open by themselves. Often we heard the crash of entire kitchen drawers being pulled open & dumped on the floor. The kitchen was ransacked many times as were almost every other room at times during the conflict.

I sat down with the family and began to tell them what it was they were facing: malevolent spirits like as is mentioned in the Bible. I told them that if they trusted God and sought Him for help that He would help them through this and eliminate those evil spirits from their home. They finally saw all of the evil entities removed from their home but it took approximately 1 1/2 yrs to accomplish the task. I traveled there about 10 times and covered about 4,000miles during that time. It was a very hard, very emotional strain on all of us but the Lord enabled us to see it through. (more pictures coming)

One of the family members had a series of nightmares about a fox who called himself 'Halitt'. This fox, she told me, was attempting to divert her from her chosen path in life and he harrassed her and insulted her continually. Along with two other members of the household she was enabled to see 'Halitt' and that he was responsible for pushing her down the bottom of the stairs and jerking her hair out at times. This evil spirit left his mark by writing things in the mirrors of the house, always with a warning, insult, or mysterious message of some kind. The writing was always backwards and sometimes a weird symbol was added.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/pic271.jpg

But then after once more finding a 5-pointed star painted on the basement floor we noticed a reflection on the knife blade.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Picture087.jpg

We enlarged the area where the reflection is obvious:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Picture074-1.jpg

The oppressed female who saw this told me that 'Halitt' is the one on the far left in the picture and the others are his demon comrades. One can make out what appears to be the upper right ear, face, shoulders, chest, and legs of a fox. But for a better view of other spirits that might have been caught in the picture I enlarged the englargement and got this:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Picture093.jpg

If indeed these are malevolent spirits that were invisibly leering at us while the picture was being taken then their horrid nature is certainly evident. I counted at least six faces in the reflection...a reflection that vanished the moment the knife was picked up off the floor. Why a butcher knife would even leave such a reflection is itself a mystery. In time, we eliminated Halitt and his comrades by prayer and calling upon Jesus to send them to outer darkness. (more coming).

I would ask the readers to wait until I finish the story to formulate an opinion. I have not even gotten half through the account yet. I have video taped recordings of our actions in the matter along with testimonials I recorded of family members and friends who can verify that the incredible things mentioned above (& a lot more) actually happened as it is written. It will take me perhaps most of the day tomorrow to finish the story.

Best wishes.

Wellsir, I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight.

In the 'Rainboy' episode by UM and in 'A Haunting in Connecticut' (Echo Bridge Entertainment) the matter of levitation of both objects and human beings was observed by multiple witnesses. Below is a picture from the documentary of the latter:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1640.jpg

That being said, in the late summer/early fall of 2006 the family in this story received a package in the mail with no return address. Inside was this unusual and very beautiful pendant.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Apr059-1.jpg

We didn't know what to make of it and had no idea who sent it. But that evening, the pendant was observed in the downstairs bathroom floating about one foot in front of the mirror.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1627.jpg

I suggested to the owners wife that she get pictures of it from every angle so she attempted to do so. Whatever was holding the pendant moved it slightly with every picture taken. Below is the straight-on shot. Notice what appears to be a string just above the pendant on the edge of the door but there is nothing above the door.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1629.jpg

What appeared to be a string was merely a part of the door edge that was reflecting light. Other pictures revealed this stunning event. (Coming)

Other pictures of the same event:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1633.jpg
Then this:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1631.jpg
The reflection of the pendant is just out of the picture on the right side of the mirror.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1630.jpg

After she had taken about a half-dozen pictures I commanded in Jesus name that the spirit in that was holding the pendant in the air to drop it and immediately it fell into the sink.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/DCP_1614.jpg

We took the pendant and destroyed it according to what the Christians did to occult objects in Acts 19:11-19. We figured the pendant had some spell or curse upon it and it certainly gave the appearance of an occult object.

We destroyed the pendant with a hammer but no sooner had we eliminated it than another pendant mysteriously showed up, this time around the neck of the owners wife.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Apr0521.jpg
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/1306123782_ORIG.jpg

She had a visiting friend tell her while they were talking on the front porch just how beautiful her necklace was. She thanked her but did not realize that one of her favorite necklaces had been replaced by the pendant. I had to tell her it was hanging around her neck. She was dumbfounded.

But after we destroyed that pendant also yet another similar object showed up in the home, this time it appeared on the desk directly in front of the owners computer screen.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/3.jpg

This object had not been there moments before and no one could have entered the computer room without our knowing about it. It seemed that our invisible enemies were determined to get members of the house involved in the occult. Another package arrived with a small crystal ball inside along with a message from one who called himself by one of the names of the malevolent spirits that were troubling us. But no one outside the family, myself and my helpers even knew what was going on in the house so the arrival of this note with a strange message made quite an impression on us.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1652.jpg

We also destroyed the crystal ball in accordance with the biblical teaching that objects of divination are forbidden by the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10). Each time we did this it took away more power of the evil spirits to inflict the house with terror. After the fall of 2006 the tide turned and we clearly had the upper hand. It became clear that the Lord was helping us through that dark hour and the family members were no longer afraid.

We discovered that there were tarot cards hidden throughout the 3-story house from the basement all the way to the attic bedrooms. We found them in the walls and hidden behind panels, some of which were so old they had become yellow. It appeared that some of the cards were made during the same late 1800's when the house was built.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/ygpE224.jpg

But one of the ways these cards came to our attention was by materialization. The cards seemed to come out of nowhere and in many cases that simply fell out of thin air in front of us. This happened so many times that I tried to get video footage of the phenomena. It was terribly frustrating and the evil spirits seemed to be toying with me during my efforts. But I finally got one!

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1281.jpg

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/?action=view&current=tarotsearch.flv

We found 78 tarot cards and destroyed them in the burn barrel in the back yard. Some of the family members testified that they could actually hear the evil spirits screaming as they were cast out upon the burning of the cards.

We also found a Ouija board between panels in the basement:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/ygpE225.jpg

This board was also burned. We feel that Ouija's invite evil spirits to trick, deceive, and in some cases possess the person/persons who involve themselves in playing it, a la 'The Exorcist' which was based on a true story of a young man who became possessed while playing it. (more coming)

I recorded a total of fifteen people who witnessed the phenomena at the owners house, including that of his oldest daughter:

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/?action=view&current=HannahRose.flv

One of the individuals who helped me during the conflict provides eyewitness testimony to the truthfulness of the family:

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/?action=view&current=RandalVerne.flv

One of those who helped us in the matter traveled 1,200 miles to be with the family to pray with and encourage them during the matter. Her granddaughter came along with her but when they returned home they discovered that some of the evil spirits followed them home. Below is a picture of her granddaughter with unexpected results.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Lexis3-1.jpg
For skeptics who might claim that this was merely the camera strap: It was a small throw-away type that had no strap.

Other teams have experienced similar 'hauntings' in various places in the world as seen in the video clip below:

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/?action=view&current=Otherteams.flv

But the one event that really tested the limits of credulity causes me to explore the subject of 'shadow people' sightings and vanishings. That is, people who have testified that they saw what looked like solid, physical human beings who suddenly vanished or blended from the physical to a non-physical existence. Such was the case of the man who took the picture below after an earthquake in Japan. The man who took the picture was merely getting photos of the wreckage. He wasn't looking for spooks:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1682.jpg
These 'shadow people' walked right up out of the cracks in the ground and eventually vanished from his sight.

Then there was this:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1690.jpg

The man's grandmother was taking a picture of a nice beach scene. She could see the dark figure in through the camera but not with the naked eye. The figure nonetheless appeared in the picture. Notice the shadow the figure casts upon the wet beach sand.

We encountered a similar thing during our conflict with evil. In late summer, 2006 I received a call from the owners wife who told me that she saw a man across the street from the house standing in the cemetery just staring at the house. I asked her to describe him and, having just reviewed a Hollywood movie entitled, 'Underworld Revoltion' I recognized in her description some similarities to a character in the movie who was called 'Lucas'. I quickly copied, pasted, and e-mailed her a picture of him and asked her if he looked familiar:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/100B1660.jpg

She said he looked exactly like what I had just sent her. Her oldest daughter confirmed this so I told them to get a picture of him. She attempted to do this but as she raised her camera to get a picture the man moved forward to her left, seemed to transform into a shadow-like substance and vanished over the roof of her neighbors house. The picture you see below was sent to me within moments of this event:
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/Copyof2.jpg

It looks somewhat like that of a flying bat from a side view. I am by no means suggesting that the apparition they saw was the actor in the movie.

Incredulous? Yeah, you might say that. More than once through this ordeal I thought I was living in the Twilight Zone. There are a few more pictures I wish to post concerning this matter.

Yankee Candle, WHY do you post all this stuff that has nothing to do with UM episodes? You start off with Rainboy and then drift into the occult and spells and other stuff that has nothing to do with Rainboy!

Is this a joke? Is this spam? Are you a troll? I don't get what's going on here.

Yeah, this should at least be in the "other" folder. Anywhosahoaxer.....

Yankee, I am a devout Christian. And, I have lived in a haunted house from 1979 until 1994. It doesn't make me an expert, but I have dealt with *real* evil. (As did anyone who lived in or visited that house) I think what you have here is a hoax.

One of the big clues that it's a hoax is the fact that your "evil spirit" named Hallit, writes backwards in the mirror (which I guess is kinda cool) but he spells like an illiterate moron.

I'm certainly not saying that I respect satan and his evil minions, but I do think they know how to spell in every language in which they are trying to terrify their victims.

Your spooky doom guy should have said this: Hurt to pain, you're insane.

He mispelled insane and used "your" instead of "you're" as in "you are insane".

I won't get into debunking the rest of the pics right now, but some of them are the most amateur fakes I've ever seen. And I've been studying about this stuff since 1979, when I first realized I was being haunted, and I started looking for ways to get rid of the thing.

I'm with you. While I believe in spirits, good and evil, I call bored teenager on this one.

Among other things:
Why is there white paint splashed ON TOP of the red star?
The picture he claims is not a camera strap is CLEARLY either a camera strap of the cord on a hoody sweatshirt.
Satan can summon 100 year old tarot cards but the Ouija found is a Parker Brothers one?
A pentacle drawn with a sharpie around a cup of tea? That's one way to show the evils of caffeine, I guess.
The fact that 78 cards were found, despite them having been hidden in the house for over a century? I find it hard to believe that at least one of the cards wasn't lost.

I really need to post that photograph I took of Bigfoot when I was in Foothills.

Did you watch 'Rainboy'? Did you watch "The Lady in White"? I observed your avatar with the ghost lady standing on the balcony. Need I say more?

Thanks, but your opinions are in error. How do you dismiss the testimony of so many witnesses? None of the photos are fake. You're right about the spelling. I didn't think it was worth mentioning but that is what came out in the wash. I didn't change anything to make it look better.

What did you do about being haunted? Do you know what to do?

Have a nice day.

Bored teenager? See how wrong pre-conceived ideas can be? I am a 57 yr old pastor of a local church. Secondly, I did not say that the cards were over a century old, I said that they LOOKED that old. We really don't know how long they were hidden in the walls. The fact that some people who lived there used a Parker Bro. Ouija board is inadvertent. We had reason to believe that there were different families that lived in the house that practiced the occult at different times.

Concerning the paint. I said that we had to paint the floor over with white paint every time we discovered another 5-pointed star. It happened many times. We never got a picture of the very first one.

Thank you for your reply.

Continuing with the story: The spirit that called himself 'Lucas' (some in the house were enabled to see & hear him) he made his presence felt in many ways.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/ygp51DB.jpg

He seemed to be much like the one whose name he bears in the motion picture and he was a vile being.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/underworld-evolution-20060120044557.jpg

But we are by no means alone in having encountered such entities. Example: A woman in England sought to make some pictures of the Christmas decorations in front of her house. The first picture was normal but the second one brought her something quite unexpected:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/UKSpirit2.jpg

It certainly doesn't take much imagination to see a winged devil in this picture. I am gathering more and more evidence of their existence as time passes.

One of these evil spirits attacked one of the females in the house and bruised, battered, and bit her right in front of all of us. As soon as I saw bite marks come on her arm I grabbed the camera and caught it as it was sinking his teeth into her forearm: (notice also the bruises)

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/?action=view&current=Womanbitten_0001.flv

The person in the video was tossed about like a rag doll, beaten, burned, and even had a demons name scratched on her back. Within moments after viewing the bite marks I called upon the Lord to eliminate the demon that was doing this and he was eliminated. Prayer and quoting scripture were our only weapons throughout the ordeal. It was all we needed in bringing this family to a happy ending of the matter.

Thank you for your reply.

I did not mean to imply that YOU were the bored teenager, just that there may be one living in the house.

Also, I'm a little unsure why you're posting this on a bulletin board about the Unsolved Mysteries TV show. Normally, what is discussed here are the various cases the show has presented.

I am wondering why that question was even asked. ????

I thought that such a matter was made clear in the very first paragraph of this thread. There were plenty of episodes on UM dealing with the supernatural. My point is that I believe them because of what I experienced. I have seen similar things.

Nonetheless, have nice day.

When things had come mostly to an end of the terror in the house the family celebrated by inviting a large group of people to the local courthouse for the adoption of a new baby boy they had taken into their home. Then they had a great party to celebrate the event at the house and none of the friends and well wishers who were there that day could tell that the house had been through 'the valley of the shadow of darkness' as Pslams puts it. This infant had been there through the worst of the horror but he was never harmed throughout the ordeal. I was very nervous about having a newborn in such an atmosphere but I remember many whole nights of absolute chaos and yet he slept through it all. I began to call him, 'superbaby'.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/MyGlobestarpictures243.jpg

Today, the little tyke calls me 'gampa'.

Then there is picture of the owner with 'superbaby' and his soon-to-be new sister, another adoptee for this precious family. The picture is very unusual and though we cannot prove it we believe that it reveals an angel protecting the babies. The thing on the lower right that looks like a butterfly was not seen by anyone in the room until the picture developed. Another angel?
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/Martyrs5/RandyP2.jpg

Well, I love true stories with happy endings.

The family moved out of the house last year and it now sits quietly awaiting a new owner. Anyone out there interested? :lol:

>>>>Thanks, but your opinions are in error.<<<<

Well, maybe not ALL of my opinions.

My opinons were that 1- this is a hoax, 2-the evil spirit has atrocious spelling, and 3-that some of the pictures look like fakes.

Opinion 2 is a fact, atrocious spelling, no way of getting around that one. Hallit needs a little blue back speller.

Opinion 3 is subjective, different people will have different opinions on what's in the pictures.

Opinion 1 is just my opinion and it very well may be in error.

The photo that interests me is the one of the spirits reflected in the knife. I have captured images of spirits on film twice. Neither time was in an effort to capture the image, in fact, the pictures were taken before I knew the house was haunted. AND it was a brand new house. My grandparents had just had it built and I was taking the photos of the rooms because everything was new and pretty.

The photos posted here that look like obvious fakes to me are of the necklace. Ghostbusting 101 teaches you that if you can't see both ends of the object or what it's attached to in the photo, it's suspect. Photos like that of the necklace look just like the ones used as examples of obvious and amateur hoaxes.

>>>>What did you do about being haunted?<<<<

It took years of several people praying for the thing to leave. We think that it finally did leave, but we're not certain. Both my grandparents passed on just about the time that we thought the thing might have left. My grandfather passed away in 1992, then my grandmother died in 1994.

Not long before my grandma died, the 6 year old neighbor boy came to her house to visit with her on the porch one evening. As he was sitting with her, he said, "You wanna know what? Our house is haunted."

Our theory is that the thing moved out of my grandma's house (too many Christians praying and reading the Bible finally got on it's nerves) and it moved into the house next door.

The land that my grandparent's house was built on had been in my grandma's family for about 150-200 years. In the 1960's my great grandfather died and his will split the land among his 10 living children. Everyone got several acres.

No one started building on the land until the late 70s and very early 80s. My grandparent's house was the first one to be built and as far as I know, was the first one to be haunted.

The house next door, that became haunted in the early 90s, had been built by my grandma's sister in the 1980s. It was not haunted when she lived there. She later sold it to the little boy's family. No one in my family, not even my grandma's siblings, knew that her house was haunted. So it's not likely that the little boy heard gossip.

This happened in a small town and my grandma was afraid of what would happen if the word ever got out. There were even things that happened to her, living alone in the house, that she would not tell me or my mother. And we were her only living descendents. She kept everything as quiet as possible.

>>>Do you know what to do?<<<<

Sure don't. We didn't contact any clergy, even though my grandparents had been members at the same church for 30 years. They didn't think they would be taken seriously and they sure didn't want publicity.

I will try to be kind despite your opposition. None of it is a hoax. You ignored all the evidence and multiple testimony. Yes, the spirit had bad grammar. I changed nothing to make things 'look good'.

"Ghostbusting 101 teaches you that if you can't see both ends of the object or what it's attached to in the photo, it's suspect."

If you will look once more you will see two photos of the pendant in which both ends of the pendant are seen. One is reflected in the mirror and the other is not.

">>>Do you know what to do?<<<<

Sure don't."

This family did know what to do. They did it. It's over. God is honored. That's that. Maybe someone who is having similar problems will read these things and benefit from them.

I wish you the best.:)

Sheesh Yankee pastor. I sure hope you don't treat the members of your congregation so dismissively. Where is your patience?

So I disagree with you on a few points, I agree with you on a few points, and instead of discussing any of the parts that we agree on, you post a "done deal". Do you treat everyone who doesn't readily and blindly agree with you in such a manner?

What do you do with one of your fellow Christians at church, who may interpret a scripture differently than you? Do you shut them down with a "I'm the pastor and I know better than you"? Or do you help show them related scriptures that back up the proper interpretation? Do you even listen to what they're saying that will help you understand what has caused them interpret the passage the way they did?

And with my previous post, were you so consumed with the fact that there are many points to this tale that I find unbelievable, that you totally missed the part where I said, "The photo that interests me is the one of the spirits reflected in the knife. I have captured images of spirits on film twice."?

Did you miss the gist of my entire post, which was basically that like you, I believe in this stuff because I've lived it. I sure don't see anyone else on this board jumping out of lurkdom to align themselves with you in a (very controversial) shared experience.

What kind of pastor finds it to be such a struggle to be kind towards someone who disagrees with them? I agree with TracyLynnS - those photos of the necklace are beyond questionable. If you want to prove something is levitating, both ends should be visible in the photo, and the only photo in which that is true - there is a STRING visible. And you cannot see the one where it is reflected in the mirror

And someone in a cemetary happens to be a carbon copy of an actor in a movie you'd just seen about the occult?? Really??

Also, this has NOTHING to do with the show. Yes, supernatural cases (many of which have been proven to be hoaxes) have been aired on the show, but this board is meant to discuss THEM, not other supernatural occurrances. Real or not real.

This was a story with a happy ending. Sorry you cannot rejoice in the victory and happiness of the poor, once-terrified family.

"I sure don't see anyone else on this board jumping out of lurkdom to align themselves with you..." Does that matter? I am not taking a vote here. What was written was for the benefit of others who are having problems of a similar nature and that they might be encouraged that there is an answer to their problems.

It doesn't really matter if you find points of the story that are unbelievable. I provided the readers with a lot of visual evidence and personal testimonies that what happened is factual. I was personal witness to most of it.

I did wish you well. I still do.

I don't know what you are talking about. I spoke with kindness. You are imagining things. For one to speak with certainty and conviction does not mean one is being rude or unkind.

"There is a string visible". Nope, you're wrong. Go look at all the photos again and observe that in two of them both ends of the pendant are in view. Watch this:

'happens to be a carbon copy of an actor..." Evil spirits often impersonate those you see in horror movies or take on their likeness.

No one says you have to believe this. I believe the account because of what I saw and so does everyone else who was exposed to it.

"...but this board is meant to discuss THEM, not other supernatural occurrances. Real or not real."

Go back to my opening statement, please. I stated that I agreed with the content of UM's 'Rainboy' and 'The Lady in White' because I had experienced much the same thing and then I brought out the reasons why. Why are you complaining?

Have a nice day.

I don't think the pastor is being unkind. He just doesn't want to argue (he didn't convince you, you won't convince him, so what is the point?) I do think he is being off-topic. :) Just because you make a tenuous connection to Unsolved Mysteries doesn't mean you are actually on the topic of this board, which is the discussion of Unsolved Mysteries episodes and cases.

I am also a Christian who definately believes in the supernatural. I don't know if I believe your story or not, but it was an interesting read.

It certainly doesn't take much imagination to see a winged devil in this picture.

Maybe...but to me, it looks like it could be the exhaust of the car that's parked right there.

I really need to post that photograph I took of Bigfoot when I was in Foothills.

Oh, you mean that time he chased you through the woods? I do hope you do it soon; that's very exciting. I'm sweating gold just thinking about it.

Sweating gold!!! hahhahah. Are you crying jewels also?

Did you watch 'Rainboy'? Did you watch "The Lady in White"? I observed your avatar with the ghost lady standing on the balcony. Need I say more?
My avatar is just a cool image from a UM segment, it doesn't mean I believe in ghosts! I really don't get what's going on here.

Come on Leafy, don't be shy. We all know that your avatar is really a photo of your own ghost from a past life that haunts Abraham Lincoln's log cabin birthplace, as described by Georgia Rudolph as she observed your aura during a hypnotic trance where she psychicly described that in this life, you would be contacted by strangers in an etherworld who would pull you into a silent conversation of many pictures and words, but in which you have no interest. :crazy:

Nothing is going on here. This thread would die if you would just ignore it.

I didn't say I wanted it to die. Those are your words. But there is now little interest in it at this point...except for you. You keep posting here.

Have a nice evening.

Troll! I'm going to stop feeding you now. It's weird how you come on this forum and post pages of stuff that has nothing to do with UM, and I ask what it's about and you attack me for it when you are the one breaking the rules. Bizarre.

Well I think a picture or two of something you had experienced and felt you could relate to a UM segment on the supernatural would have been fine but I think numerous posts of pictures you've accumulated over the years is quite off topic. If you want to discuss the supernatural on this board, its better left to actual cases that UM aired and if you wish a little bit of your experiences thrown in. :)

And?

If the UM board administration felt that way they would have eliminated it or moved it elsewhere. I see nothing wrong with stating that I agreed with the conclusions of two previous Unsolved Mysteries cases (Rainboy & The White Lady) and giving the reasons why. Nor will I apologize for it.

Trolls should not taunt dragons (moderators) with toothpicks, for they are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Maybe you need to look closely at the word under my screen name... I AM part of the UM board administration. For now it stays but if these type posts keep up and arguing with the moderator it will be history.

So, did we get some new smilies, or did I just miss these before?

Did you have to scroll over to access these emoticons? My browser will not display them all unless I do some major scrolling.

Nope, I just clicked on "more", located under the common smilies that are to the right of an advanced post reply. When I click "more", a new window opens that is about 3 inches square. I have to maximize it, and then just scroll through (scrolling down, no sideways scrolling) the smilies. They are in two vertical rows.

I'm no techie, so I don't know if it makes a difference about your monitor settings, or the browser, or what. I use IE on both of my computers, but sometimes use Firefox on my laptop. I get the same easy access of the smilies, same format, on both browsers.

Sorry I'm not able to give you more help. :(
