Puttin, I've researched it some and from what I can tell there never was a reservation around this area. I wondered the same thing, but back in the days Florida was covered with Indians. There is one reservation about 25 or so miles south of me.  

I wish he was old enough to tell me what he sees! My son's 17 months old and I swear all he knows is Daddy, (not really but ya know what I mean) His vocabulary isn't large enough to tell me yet.

Tonight is the first night I have opened this thread.  Ph, I knew I should have stayed away.....lol

Let's just say that I firmly believe we can communicate with the dead, and thta the dead do in fact, try to communicate with us. 

I am one of those people who can walk into a house and 'feel' if there is a presence there.  My mothers house is full of spirits, so was my previous house.  You could just 'feel' when they were there.  Never harmful, just lonely.

My husband use to think I was a quack......until I opened up to him one night and explained some things to him.  I never met my father-in-law.  He died in 1997 and I met my hubby in 2000.  After our son was born, I could feel his presnece in the house.  I knew it was him, no question.  I told my hubby that he had come to see his only grandchild.  HUbby was angry at first......he didn't like the possibility of a spirit (even that of his father) being in our house.  I talked to him and showed him how to be comfortable with it.  I welcome spirits in my house.  If you accept them, they will reveal themselves (maybe not who they are, but that they are there).  Once my husband opened up to the fact that I wasn't a quack...lol....he began having experiences of his own.  It scared the heck out of him, but I thought it was wonderful.

Before we lived here, we lived in a house for 2 months.  I woke up one morning and checked to make sure my hubby had come to bed (he was up late playing the PS2 when I went to bed).  he was there beside me, under the covers (I saw the back of his head) so I went back to sleep.  Leter on, when I got up......I found him in the basement (it was used as a rec room) still playing the PS2.  He had been up all night and never come to bed.  I was a little freaked by that one.

Later on, we noticed symbols appearing through the paint on the basement walls.  The walls were white and these blue and gray symbols and letters started coming through the paint.  We cound't understand what they said.

About a week later, we were in the basement and saw someone standing outside the window (a shadow through the curtains).  We have friends over all the time and got up to let them in......opened the door and no one was there.  I mean, this was a human figure...plain as day.  Later that night, I went upstairs to the kitchen and shortly after, my husband came running up the stairs pale as a ghost (no pun intended....lol).  He said that a voice had whispered in his ear (as if it were leaning over from teh back of his recliner) "Hi. How are you doing".  Hubby never gets scared of anything, but he was SCARED that night...lol. 

I told him that the spirit just wanted to communicate with him and that he should have talked to it.

Needless to say, we moved out after being there only 2 months...lol.

Now we are in the family home.  We are the 3rd generation of family to live here.  My encounters have been limited here and I'm not sure why.  I always make the spirits welcome.  I want them here and I want to communicate with them.  I really wish that my father-in-law would show up more often.  Only felt him a few times in the past year.  Other than that, no one.

You can't make a spirit be where it doesn't want to be, and I guess this house just isn't for them...lol

Someday, yes someday, I hope to purchase an antebellum home and explore more into this mysterious world.  Spirits are not here to harm us.  They just need to communicate.  If you open yourself up to them, they will.  It's a wonderful feeling.

I live near Zoar Ohio, it is huanted. They do tours and expain which ones are haunted and "why"  My son and I are going to take one, I have lived here over 20 years and yet to do it, but he asked me about last week and I said "sure!"  I have toured the homes, but not taken the ghost tour.  Zoar was a german communal town in the 1800's. You can find it on the web. I think they are on the website of haunted towns. I read over it a long time ago.

I also grew up in Madison Indiana, there are many old homes to tour there. On home was owned by a man who helped fund the civil war somehow. Anyway, there are a few of those homes known to be haunted also. I think they are on that same list of haunted towns.

My mom has an interesting story from her childhood.  She and her many sisters shared and attic room. There was a portion completely blocked off  with no doorway to get into. She has untwisted a hanger, laying on her bed and stuck the hanger through the hole in the wall. The hang wsa ripped out of her hands and she ran downstairs screaming! lol Her sisters were there and they all still talk about it. What could have been back there to pull it out of her hands? lol

Anyway, I don't doubt anything until someone proves there is absolutely no way it could be. Personally, no one has even come close to proving there couldn't be ghosts. Too many people with these type experiences for there not to be something out there.

Those are all spooky bizarre things. I really don't know what I would do if something like that would happen to me. I mean if its not physically hurting you then theres no reason to move, I would think.

I used to wake up from a dream that alway led me to the same corner in my room. I never found out what it was that was leading me there. I think I was dreaming, but so many times, I would awake to be searching for soemething. Probably not spirit related, but I always wondered about it. It happened many times.

I know another lady that has a sister that practices wicka and good witch craft. She is an online friend. My friend also can see things. She is the one that showed me what orbs were in the first place. I have learned that orbs are pretty much one of the most common ways for spirits to show themselves.

I have had a few expericences also...  I am glad this topic was brought up.  

My cousin was murdered by her husband.  She would come and visit my aunts house and make her presence known by doing stuff.  When we went to visit my aunt we stayed at her house for a week and let me tell you there was some crazy stuff happening there.  I never went abck to that house to stay.  LOL.  My aunt didnt think anything of it and would just tell her to stop.  Here are a few of the things that happened..

 
1. We were sitting at the kitchen table listening to the radio and one of my cousin favorite songs came on all of a sudden if u looked real close you could see the volume button moving and the radio would go up full blast...  Then the min the song ended it went back down.. 

2. I was sitting on the couch watching tv no one else was there but my mom, aunt, me and my sister and all of a sudden the tv channels started changing by themselves..  Me and my sister looked at each other and my aunt said stop messing with the tv Malissa your scarign them and all of a sudden everything was fine. 

3. She also had a lil girl.  My aunt made a nursery in her house for her because she came to stay with her on the weekends..  No one was in the nursery or near it, but the baby.  We were all watching tv when the baby started to cry and then got real quiet.  The mobile started to go by itself.  The rocking chair started to rock like someone was sitting in it rocking a baby and the baby got real silent.  When we went to check on the baby she was sound asleep and the rocking chair was rocking, but no one was on it. 

4. Me and my sister were sleeping on the floor when I heard a noise..  Almost like someone was walking around, but everyone was asleep..  All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I seen her standing there looking at me.  I tapped my sister and told her to look and she did, but there was nothing there.  The next night about the same time I heard the noise again and tapped my sister except this time she seen her standing there also.  And all of a sudden we heard almost like a whisper of everythings going to be ok.. I lvoe you.  She was trying to communicate with us and we just looked at each other went under the blankets and went back to sleep..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One night me and my friend were laying in my room..  No one else was there but us.  She had asked me what I was doing and I didnt know what she was talking about..  She told me to lay back down, but I was not up..  She seen a figure in the corner of my room just sitting there..  When she turned the light on nothing was there..

My sister was asleep in her room when she felt something holding her blankets down almost like it was trying to sufficate her..  She thought it was me, but I was not home nor was my mother or father.  She was there alone and to this day swears something was trying to get her attention that morning, but who or what she dont know because when she turned the light on nothing was there.

ok now enough with that.. LOL im here alone and its getting dark...  I have a lot more if you guys would like to hear let me know and when I am no longer here alone I will tell you guys more..
