The bell from my grandfathers house

A few days ago I visited my uncle and he told me something my cousin told him. She was working at a clothing store when one of the new owners came to her register. They asked how she is doing and then the next question that made my cousin pause with silence. They asked her if my grandparents had a bell on the back door. She then told them many years when they were alive they had a small bell attached to the top of the door. The bell would ring when one came in and out of the house. Only thing that makes this story interesting is there is no bell. A little reminder never to forget those who passed.

Just to recap I did post a long posting on my own personal haunting experience. 

Happy Belated New Years.

A new year and new stories. This year I plan to visit and take a few photos of some of the places in and around San Antonio that are haunted. If you have a few locations you may want me to look up please post.

Haunted motel in San Antonio

I remember many years ago my aunt worked for a I believe a motel 6 in San Antonio Texas. She worked what you call the grave yard shift for the hotel. She told me that under someone shift a man passed away in one of the rooms and that was pretty much that until...a few weeks later when they rented the room to individuals when they took notice of what was going on.

Apparently guest who occupied the room complained about someone taking their covers off at night. What made this story strange is that on their security cam they caught what looks like a person going to the soda machine only problem was the guy had no legs. To bad they never showed a copy of it but it was a cool ghost story.

Anyway I saw this article on yahoo which had a few hotels from around the US that are haunted.

Do love ones come by after passing away?

A few days ago my wife's grandmother passed away at a nursing home. My wife told me while she was at work she was in an area by the dumpster by her work when all of a sudden she smelled the sent flowered perfume. It was a perfume familiar to her called white diamonds.

A week before that one of her aunts had a discussion with the grandmother that she could see angels ready to take her home. The grandmother told the aunt that she was not ready to leave until she saw the rest of the grand kids.

And just like that when she saw the grand kids 2 days later she passed on.

I remember my own experience when my grand parents passed I remember being at their house one morning hearing the chatter and the smell of fresh tortillas and coffee. Only to go to the kitchen with no one there. Was it only my own experience? Not likely since my uncle had the same experience which I later told him. He describe the same smells and sounds. The ghostly experience only lasted a week then the smells and the chatter left. Leaving the house empty.

In a way it was their way of saying goodbye and they were at peace.

Ghost Experience - Packing up and ready to go.

(If your viewing this for the first time click to read the first posting of my personal ghost story)

The night before leaving I remember vividly as I was brushing my teeth a presence which passed by the restroom. I only saw what appeared to be a woman pass from the corner of my eye thinking it was my mom. After brushing my teeth I went to ask who I thought was my mom only to find an empty room. My mom was not in her room. She was in the living room.

I was puzzled but then I realized what I had seen again but paid not much attention. We began packing and we were onto our new apartment which wasn't to far from the house. I sometimes wonder why their mom never moved on but I guess you could say the house was her unfinished business.

A few years passed and my moms friend was at a kids football game when a friend of hers who lived by the house we had rented began small talk. She asked about us which for my moms friend seem random since it had already been around 6 years since we occupied the house. He asked a strange question. Did your friends when they lived in the house see anything paranormal?

My moms friend looked at the gentleman and said yes but why do you ask? Well....it seems that the owner who passed away is now haunting my house from time to time and I see her presence now and then in my hallway.

The End!

Ghost experience - The owner crys

Part one of my Ghost experience.
After explaining to her that we were not the house only then the owner had a cold silence. Then the owner began to tear. My mom and I looked at one another and were puzzled. My mom asked "Did we say something wrong?. She went on to explain that her mom never wanted to sell the house and she wanted the house to remain in the family. She then asked us if we have had any ghost expeiriences in the house while we lived there.

I looked at her and explained that I had a few ghost experiences as well as my mom but the presence never seem threatening.

Paranormal experience - The realtor blames us from letting her in.

After the news that we would have to move out. We began our journey looking for an apartment where we weren't to far from my moms work and my high school. The realtor like clock work called us to let us know that she would be coming by with a few people to show the house on a Friday around 6ish. We told her that I would be a band at a football game and she would have to work extra hours so the realtor did not have to worry about knocking and she could make herself welcome.

Then we get home later that night to to see a blinking light on the answering machine from the realtor. My mom click the button to listen to the message when the realtor was un pleased that we kept her from coming into the house.

The next day the owner of the house arrives at our door around 8 in the morning knocking on our door. I answer the door and she ask if she could speak to my mom. I let her in and I tell her to wait in the living room so I can get my mom. My mom then meets the owner and explains to her that both of us were not present in the house.

The owner told us that the realtor explained to her that someone was holding the door on the other side. She said she could hear someone inside the house but there was no answer.

The owner after listening to our explanation seem to come down with a factual expression you get after seeing a scary movie.

Owner sells the house - paranormal experience continues.

Click here to read from the beginning of my paranormal experience.

After about a year the owner asks if we would like to buy the house from her since many of the family members who had inherited the house wanted to have their money up front instead of receiving the monthly check from us from occupying the residence.

My mom looked at her and told her that realistically she could not buy the house. It wasn't that she could not buy the house it was that my mom was not aware of what was the process of getting a loan and going threw the scary mortgage process. All thought now that I think about it, that's what may it have been in the first place.

So the owner the next day told us they would call a realtor to have people come and look at the place. My mom just asked when they buy the house to give us notice so we can begin looking for a new place.

The realtor stops by and tells us she would be placing a padlock with the key and they would call us ahead when they would come by.
