Ghost In A Jar

Current bid - US $15,099.00 (reserve met)

I don't have enough space here to tell the complete story behind this, so I will briefly go over it. Back in the early 1980's, while out metal detecting, I came across and old abandoned cemetery with the foundation of a homesite or Church or something nearby. While searching around the foundation, my detector indicated there was something in the ground close by the southwest corner of the foundation. After digging down about 2 feet my shovel struck a wooden box that had nearly rotted out. The metal hinges and hasp were about all that was left of it. I thought I had discovered a fortune! Boy, did that ever turn out to be wrong!! There were 2 jars and an old journal in the box. The jars had some strange writing and symbols on them. While getting the jars out of the ground, I dropped one and it broke. A black mist or something seeped out of it. I should have known something was wrong right then and covered the find back up but being young and foolish I didn't. I left the broken jar with what looked like a candle in it there where it fell and took the other one (see the pictures) and the old journal home. What I was able to read in the journal before the pages crumbled made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

Oh, there is no doubt Ghosts are for real - and this "thing" is some dark spirit being. But the graveyard pictures, ah, don't think so. How convenient for the "ghost images" to each have a straight edge....

My nephew had an "entity" come down some stairs and sit at the foot of his bed and stare at him - while visiting his fiance's home in New York. In that home a man had been murdered. I have no doubt of my nephew's story being legit or your wife's concerns about your home. Best advice - MOVE!

Be very afraid Hitlery's soul is let loose upon the world once again. Now, how do we get it back in the bottle?

Well, the place I live in was built in 1865 and was originally a doctor's office and home. Anyone who redid the bedroom wrote their name on the wall, and that patch is still visible. Not long after we moved in a few weird things happened (I tend to be skeptical myself, but they are interesting). A candle fell off the fire place in the dining room. A few days later another fell off the fireplace in the bedroom. Ok, nothing too weird. A few weeks later I woke up and one candle was lit. Wife and baby had been in bed for hours, and she did not light it. Dishes have fallen off the counter as have other objects.

Up to this point I have dismissed it all as house settling. Last time she was in California I was sitting here on my computer and my daughter's blues clues toy starting talking. You have to squeeze the paw to make it do that. Thinking the batteries might be going bad I picked it, looked at it and then put it back down. A few minutes later it did it again. Getting a little chill I put it on the top shelf, out of a child's reach. It stopped making the noise. When the wife called I was telling her about it. I thought it all silly and put it back on the low shelf and went back to talking to her. Within a few minutes it was doing it again.

Recently my daughter has seen things (she is 2, so nothing too surprising). The wife called me at work and said that she was pointing into the kitchen (I work nights) and asked 'Mommy, what's that?' and she saw what looked to be the shadow of a small kid darting away. While on the phone I heard my daughter say it, this time she was pointing into the corner of the living room. My wife thinks she saw it again last night too.

One last interesting note - about 9 months ago they were both in california visiting her folks and I took some pics in the house (I was testing my tripod and using the last of a roll of film, and I was going to send her mom the pics). I did not notice anything weird at the time but later when I took it into photoshop to sharpen for an upload I could see the outline of a kid on the bed (My house is all one floor above a store, and you can see the bedroom from the kitchen where I was taking shots, the rooms are about 20'x20' w/14' celings).

They are heading out to CA again at end of month and I will be home alone. I think I will put the toys up ;) (many other things have happend but these items stick out in my mind).

Do you know anything of the history of the house you are living in? It seems a small child lived there who died as a small child. There could be others there with the child....who knows. It is spooky when one encounters such events. Others scoff - but my nephew will tell you - he heard the footsteps of the "ghost" coming down the steps (he was sleeping in a "basement" bed) - woke up, saw the entity's form staring at him - and shot out of that bed like a cannon. He refused to go back down and sleep in that bed - since then (and he has visited that house many times since). He has not been bothered when he has slept in other locales within that house.

Uh - you definitely have a spirit of some sort in your house which may or may not make you seek other help with your home situation.

Hopefully, whatever it is will not bother anyone.

It's a weird place. There were problems with the tub (An old cast iron one) and they had to get to the pipes and replace the floor in the bathroom. Beneath the floor is a room, about 5' high and 7' square. There is nothing at all there. The fireplace in the living room (all have been sealed off) has recently come open around the seal and we have a regular occurence of bird bones falling onto the floor.

I rent the place, the owner tried to get me to buy it (the whole building, top and bottom) but she wanted too much IMO (130k). It's a huge place but being so old needs lots of work. I try to always find the most rational reasons for things which occur, but some things give me the willies nonetheless.

The only thing weird I can say I have witnessed first hand was in the third grade. I was flipping through a reading book in class and saw an image of christ. I flipped back through the book trying to find it and never could. When I got home I learned my grandmother had passed away that morning in her sleep. Doctor said her heart just went out - sad to say poor grandpa found her there. She was always up before him and took care of him since he had lost his leg. He crawled to her bed and could not get her to wake up. They were good folk and I will always miss them both. I still use her silverware I got everyday :)

I do know some history of the house. Initially the home connected to ours and the house that we are currently living in (this is Chances wife) was built by two doctors who were brothers. We have a connecting door that leads into the house next door. It opens up into the stairway. They both praticed and lived in the homes. They were some of the first educated doctors in Circleville Ohio. The family lived in these homes for generations. The last of the family members died in the 70's. I think the small "room" that was found may be an underground railroad room. Circeville is in southern central Ohio and many slaves came into Ohio via the Ohio River. As far as the personal history of the family we dont really have any. I have often wondered if they had lost a child and/or children while living here. God Bless-
