"Each night Father fills me with dread
When he sits on the foot of my bed;
I'd not mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks,
But for seventeen years he's been dead."

My husband's family has a family home, built when his ancestors first arrived here from Germany -- a big antebellum house on the beach in Bay St. Louis, MS. Whenever a family member dies, s/he is cremated, and the ashes are spread on the property. All family reunions are held there, and it is a central part of everyone's memories, childhood and adult.
Every fourth of July, we go there and have a huge party. One year, after several bourbon and cokes, I decided to head to bed. I was the last one to retire. I went into our room, and my husband, who had already crashed, was sleeping on my pillow. I tried to get it from him, but he grunted and wouldn't give it up. So I decided to go into the den, grab a pillow from the sofa, and use that. As I was walking into the den, I tripped on the lip b/t the den and the dining room. "It'd be nice to have a few lights on in here," I mumbled. All of sudden, every light in the room went on -- the corner floor lamp, the two lamps on either side of the sofa, and the lamp in front of the t.v. Since the house was built before electricity, there were no overhead lights; all lamps were controlled with separate switches. A bit shaken, to say the least, I grabbed a few pillows, and ran out of the room. As I passed from the den back into the living room, the lights went out.
The next morning, I relayed my story over breakfast. One of the older aunts just huffed, "Oh, that was Aunt Edith. She was always the one who went around after the parties making sure everyone was tucked safely into bed." Well, good old Aunt Edith totally freaked me out, and I am never the last one awake in that house.

That Shadowlands site has thousands of ghost stories. Ive read a lot of them, and Uncle John is a tame one to say the least compared to some of the stories. They'll certainly get you up at night.

Has anyone here had experience with the shadow people Art Bell talks about?Don't know. Here's a story for you though...
One night in November, 1996, what may have be the most intense demonic possession ever recorded took place in North Carolina.
Several people witnessed the incident. Things got so out of hand that local police were contacted as the "events" happened.
I was one of the people who saw it. Was involved with a few others who were also working with the unfortunate individual, even. However it is that Hollywood's made this out to be, it was not fun or entertaining or "cool" to watch. You don't get your sanity yanked so hard as it is when a voice from the pit screams out the deepest secrets of your heart for all to hear.
One of these days I'm going to relate the story of what happened that night. Just pour it out and let others take from it what they may.

I can't say I ever saw a ghost or "shadow people", but have you ever had a vivid dream where someone you knew who had died was there, and you had a good long talk ? I've had a few of those, I don't know what to make of it but it always made me feel good upon waking up.

"It" being the pillow, right?

Don't know about Art Bell but think I know what you mean by shadow people. My husband and I have both seen in all the places we have lived what I think you are saying but have never told anyone as we sound nuts.
To: Darth Sidious
I have experienced witnessing something of what you say. It is real.
I have a Saint Benedict crucifix on me at all times.
To: all
WOOOOOoooooo00000000000OOOOooooooo the boogey men are coming.
You people need some freaking rest or something.

My mother had a visit from one of her brothers the night he died. It was not a premonition of his death but more like he came & woke her to tell her goodbye before he left for the other side.
