Hi, my name is Sher. I have been pulled into the paranormal field after real experiences that I have had. The first was malevolent and I was just 17. My father & I moved to Kansas to the enormous new house on the hill 6 mos ahead of the rest of the family in Seattle because the house in Seattle hadn't sold yet & I did not want to start my senior year in high school as the new kid. So for the last 3 months of my junior year up until August my father and I were alone in this house. My father traveled a lot which left me by myself most of the time. This area was and still is pretty isolated. Each lot had to be 1 acre and there was only one other house starting to begin building at the time. The entire experience is not something I like to talk about a lot and I have never posted it. It was physical to me as far as leaving bruised fingerprints on my arm when I wanted to leave the house at night one time. It would push me, it would touch me. It was sickening. There was nowhere to turn to. This was the mid to late 80's and the beginning of the 90's & paranormal investigators didn't really exist back then. I had no idea why it was fixated on me and it took me years to figure out that I had the power to make it go away & I did with the help of friends. It was not easy to get rid of. It was the strongest it had ever been because it did not want to leave. It took 2 whole days & nights for it to be completely gone. Physical attacks were made on other people & the things we had seen & experienced seemed so totally unreal. But it did leave afterwards or at least remained dormant.
After I grew up, moved and got my own home I had a positive experience with a child apparition. In the 10+ years living there I had only seen her twice. The first time I was in bed reading. (I am a complete insomniac) My room was never fully dark because I had a streetlight outside of my bedroom window that even blinds could not fully cover. I had just turned off the light when I saw what I believed to be my daughter standing in the doorway. She had light hair that appeared to be blonde like my daughter and she was wearing a little house on the prairie type nightgown that girls my daughters age wore. I had no reason to believe it was something else. I told her to just hop into bed with me. I felt every move of a child crawling from the foot of the bed to getting under the covers next to me. I sleep facing the other direction but I did ask her if she had a nightmare again. She said no and I knew that was not my daughter's voice. I turned on the light, turned around and she was gone. Then I realized; my daughter was staying at her dad's that night. She came to me only one more time. Again, my daughter was not there. I had already turned off the light and was trying to get comfortable. I ended up on my back. I felt like I was being watched. I turned over and she was standing right next to my bed. This time I was calm. I asked " is there anything I can do for you? Can I help you?" She said no as she backed up right through my closed bathroom door. I got up and followed. She was gone. She never came back. It took me awhile to figure out maybe why she came to me. I believe she was there because my daughtter and I were so close and in her own way may have tried to comfort me.
Now I'm sure you're thinking she has lived in haunted houses all her life. No, that is not the case. Because of my father's business his promotions usually included moving. So the house on the hill was my 5th home. I myself, have rented 5 apartments and one home. The first house I bought with the little girl in it was my 12th home.
Now I am hopefully in my last home. Before I moved in I did a cleansing. Thoughout these years I have been checking out old cemetaries alone or checking out friend's places they claimed to be having abnormal stuff going on but I really found nothing until I bought my digital recorder. I started picking up things.A lot of EVPs. Then, almost a year ago I formed my own paranormal investigative team. I registered the name as Kansas City Paranormal Research & Investigations. If anyone has registered their name (we almost named it Midwest Paranormal Research & Inv but thought we might get business too far away and at that time gas was almost $4/gallon) but anyway you have 6 months to give an address and phone #. This was never provided so we are probably off the list by now, but it is the government so we may still be there. We had and I still have all the gear from minicam to K-2. We had some really good haunts in businesses & a couple private homes. We never encountered anything while we were there but almost always caught EVPS back home evaluating the video & audio. There's a reason for that.
Years ago an act of violence caused a blow to the left side of my head. It wasn't too long before I had vertigo and was getting sick just getting up. My doctor sent me to a hearing specialist and I found out I have a 40% hearing loss in my left ear and that I could hear some tones more than others. I can hear whispering better than if someone was talking in a normal tone to my left or behind me. They gave me medicine to keep me from tipping over but to me it was like a curse. I hated to go to grocery stores, coffee houses and most public indoor places because I can hear people whisper. Most people whisper because it is something negative they are saying. It was hurtful to hear people make fun of others & even me too. People can be so mean. I have gotten used to it now so it is not as bad but on EVPS that's another story. When you get 1 sentence or word you're overjoyed. I have found out after going through evidence that I had participated in full blown conversations with these things.
My team split up after about 6 mos over an investigation where we were actually hearing things out loud and a couple members said they saw things. I missed that. After 2 of them bolted in the middle of the investigation (the rest of us stayed and finished it) I decided I needed to do this and continued on my own or just with my tech. I came upon one person that was upset over hearing things in her home. It seemed urgent and my tech had some family responsibilities so she didn't go. Wow! This woman's home was the most active in EVPs that I ever heard. I heard "them" talking about my tripod wondering what it was straight from the recorder. There were many different voices there. I went there many times. She decided she did not want to do anything about it because she had been there 2 years and nothing bad had happened. Then she wanted to be friends She had a boyfriend but said she never had a female friend before and I felt sorry for her. I was duped. She was a sociopath. She had a purpose for wanting to befriend me. I'll leave you at that as I am running out of space.

In my house, I often had the feeling of a presence, like I was being watched. At that time I wasn't really sure that I believed in ghosts or other unknown life forms on this earth. I often joked that my house was haunted because you could hear noises that could not be explained. It was like in the same room but another dimension. I know that sounds weird, but that is the only way I can explain it. As hard as I tried to find the source, I could never pin it down, even though it sounded right next to me many times.
My first real experience was during the middle of the night. I don't know why I woke up, but I did and when I opened my eyes a bit, I saw a solid black figure standing in front of my bed. Even in my sleepy state, I "just knew" it was not a live person. It was looking toward the wall when it turned its head toward me. I was quite frightened but told myself I was still dreaming. But I knew I was not. The way it turned to me was very strange, like the neck was far more flexible than a regular human. It is very hard to explain. I remember that it was completely solid and seemed like the body was a suite like what spiderman would wear. The eyes were huge, and I remember the color being yellowish.
Well, as I said earlier, I was freaked out and quickly turned to my side wanting to believe I was dreaming. However I realized that when I turned to my side that I was facing the outside of the bed. I knew that there was only 1 foot of space between the bed and the wall and I had not heard anything at all so I opened my eyes and saw that it was staring at me right in front of my eyes. I only saw the neck and head and remember thinking later how weird that was because a human would not be able to be in that position. Anyway, I let out a small scream and turned over in bed and prayed to God to make it go away. I looked around and did not see it again.
The funny thing about it is that I don't remember any feelings of malevolence. I remember a feeling more of curiosity.
So that was my first experience when I actually saw something. I have had many experiences of feeling anger so deep I would call it evil, feelings of fear, feelings that I was unable to explain.
I also know there is evil out there as I have had that experience as well, but that is another story. I did not mean to make light of your frightening first experience. My curiosity has been awakened and every paranormal experience is fascinating to me. I look forward to more.
What I would like to do is learn how to open up my senses and maybe even help a soul who is confused and ready to move on. I watched Children of the Grave and I felt that these children had no one to love them while they were alive, probably never knew they should go to the Angels or to the light. They need help, but at this time I don't know how to.
