Hello! This is Lindsay. I am 21 years old and have had paranormal encounters since moving to a strange house in the middle of nowhere at around 10 years of age.

My first paranormal experience was when I walked outside on a strangely still day to sit on the trampoline in the backyard. After a little while I turn my head to face the mountains and see a solid figure of a woman in a long flowing white dress floating above the feilds a few yards from where I was sitting. She floated to and fro before dissapearing. I blinked a couple of times while I watched her so I knew she wasn't a figment of my imagination. You could say after that moment I was pretty freaked out. I never ran so fast in my entire life. Her image has been stuck in my mind since that day.
I still can't find out what kind of spirit she might have been. The closest to fit her description was a Banshee.

Since then, I've had pretty numerous encounters in that house. I truely believe that it was haunted. My experiences in that house are what got me into the paranormal.

At late hours, I would hear the sink in the bathroom across the hallway from my room turn on and off randomely. The big TV out in the den on the other side of the house would turn on to loud static and shut off quickly. I would also hear loud knocks in the hallway getting louder and lighter as if someone was walking down the hallway and knocking on the wall as they went.
As I layed down in my bed some nights, I would hear footsteps on the carpet, and my cat would look at something invisible in my closet for extended periods of time. Not only that, but I had frequent bouts of sleep paralysis accompanied by strange piercing noises.

Another night as I sat in the back of a truck at the neighbor's house down the street, I saw a blue orb of light float above tall grass.

After I got a computer set up in my room, the activity in there seemed to cease, and if there was anymore activity anywhere else in the house, I didn't notice it.

After I moved, I stayed in Arkansas for a while, sleeping in a room that my deceased great grandmother used to sleep. I didn't see or hear anything while I stayed there, but my cat would focus on the foot of the bed as if watching something.

I'm now a resident of Riverside, and I haven't experienced much since my move. A few things here and there.

In the Rubidoux cemetary, as I was playing with a wind chime over a dead soldier's grave, an angry face flashed in my vision, and as I was leaving I spotted a pair of legs following alongside of me for a brief moment.

My most recent experience happened not too long ago as I was investigating my old house. (which is now torn down and all that remains is a lonely chimney)
As I was walking on the cracked cement of what was my old porch, I heard the crunching of footsteps next to me, I looked at my boyfriend and he was standing still looking at the chimney. I then heard what sounded like a hollow pipe being swung next to my ear twice, and my ears started to ring. Me and him took off after that, because I had a feeling I wasn't welcome. In that same night we took a dirt road up to a cliffside to see a good view of riverside. As we parked and my boyfriend stopped the engine, a loud howling noise engulfed the truck and rocked it like a strong gust of wind was blowing against it. When it was over, we rolled down our windows and the air was still.

I'm a little bit of a skeptic when it comes to ghosts. I do not believe in orbs or psychics and I am more of a debunker, and think with a more scientific mind. I do believe in gates, different dimensions, and some kind of life after death.
My interests are focused on ghosts and demons, as well as otherworldly beings (shadow people.) I'm not too religious, but I do believe in malicious, or helpful spiritual beings. (Angels, demons.)
