I had forgotten this story and it just now came back as I was reading Ed's mom account above:

My son was about 10 or 11 years old and he knew there wasn't a Santa Claus. One night as he was in his room getting ready for bed (it wasn't Christmas time) he looked up and Santa Clause was standing in his doorway. My son wasn't asleep, but wide awake. When he asked what the apparition wanted, it slowly faded away. Even today, (he's now 62 years old) he swears he saw what he saw.
The few times this happened. Three times I believe. I yanked the sheets up over my head. She/it DID leave. But I don't know how long it was there or how it left.

Waking dreams would explain a lot of this.
Especially since so much of my own stories involve bed time.
I wish I could just tell myself that none of this happened.
It isn't easy.
Especially considering that there was another witness to at least one event.

He's the one who taught me how to jump stuff on a 4 wheeler. Drs are all trying to find out whats wrong with me...dementia(?) PTSD(?) they went on and on....one college guy, was positive my brain problem came from 16 concussions and 60 or so years of drug and alcohol abuse. And I also believe that's the problem. But I have always been strange. Just last night my ex stopped by to give me a ride on his new HD. I woke up in my car port wearing a very short t-shirt and nothing else. I haven't even seen my ex since the '80s sometime. My problem is halutions and sleep walking. I'd tell you about knocking out my bottom teeth, but I guess it's kinda personal. I sleep walk, and get violent.......

Maggie, I'm so sorry you have to deal with such a problem. I have never sleepwalked, but have, on occasion, acted out nightmares in bed. And have been quite violent during them...my poor husband has to jump up and get away to avoid a beating. [emoji22]

Take care, Maggie.
You're one of the coolest, most interesting folks I've met here.

I've been absent for a while.
This thread has joined the ghosts......
Any stories, ANYONE?

This isn’t really a ghost story but I have a dream that happens a lot where a woman ghost, a very hostile one needs my help but I can’t help her no matter what I do. I feel like it’s tied to the one ghost story I had with the woman that slammed my front door open. Any thoughts guys?

She’s always in a hidden room in a basement and her aura is dark and angry. I can’t talk to her and she’s super scary.

It's been my experience that dreams are mostly based on something that's been on your mind...Somewhere.
I've never experienced a dream that came true. Or was a warning that came true.
Last night, I dreamed that my neighbor across the street was horribly injured while riding a horse....In my living room no less.
I have NO IDEA what that was all about.:eek:

I have had dreams come true most of the time vaguely. Like I can dream what gender a baby will be but thats a 50/50 shot so not impressive. But Like I have had a dream that a certain type of bug is crawling on my wall and later that day see it happen. Its more of a Déjà vu type of events and could be purely coincidence.

The lady concerns me only because of the dream being recurring. Always the same woman and always in a dark room hidden. When she is in a dream I can feel her there even if my dream takes me somewhere completely different. Like if I turn around that's where she will be. Watching and waiting for me to help her even though she is beyond help. She is silent and angry.

I just UNEARTHED two more stories from the extended family.
Like I said previously, if it is a real phenomenon, it seems to skip generations and certain people in the same family.
This is story one:
Recently, my now elderly uncle told me that he used to see a male figure in their old house in Miami. His wife, my aunt never did. Just him. It was a thin bearded man. Mostly in the form of a mist or smoke like cloud and always standing in the hallway door entrance looking in at him while he was in bed. He once threw a pillow at it and the pillow passed through the figure and it vanished.(So apparently ghosts are allergic to pillows)
What kind of freaked me out was the description of the things face. Just like the face I saw on my television?

And story two. Shared at the same, rare family get together:
My cousin Mark saw things in the same house as my uncle. Same family. But no other cousins did.
Mark, on two occasions was amazed to see two dis embodied, glowing heads seemingly chasing each other around his room. One time it was during broad daylight. Once at night.
I didn't ask him to describe the features.
Maybe I should have?
Both stories are from events that happened before 1980.
I've been "mysterious happening free" since about the same time . 1981.
Maybe now it's time for my cousins children?

I have had prophetic dreams, too, Destben. It’s always something TOTALLY vague, neutral and unimportant, but I always know it will happen, and it does. It happened more when I was a kid and teen, and it scared me, and I’ve had much freer such dreams as an adult.
