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!

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.

Game counsel and TV turn off on their own - My paranormal experience
When the game counsel came out of my Nintendo 64 I got this chill on the back of my neck as if there were a presence in the room. Luckily I had my mom on the other line to tell her what I had just experienced. I mean you read about these things but until it happens to you it give you the chills.
Deep inside I knew it wasn't a malicious presence but more like I was disturbing whatever presence was there and they wanted quiet. I went up to the TV and decided to turn the television off and went off to occupy myself outside preparing for a bbq.
That night I could not sleep knowing that what I known. I wish I had not known that someone had passed away in the house. She sure made her presence known. Inside my room I could just hear the quiet ticking of our wall clock in the hallway which seemed to echo in the whole house. Tick Tick Tick....listening just to hear if maybe I hear a disturbance but yet the silence seemed more uneasy to me that night.

Part 2 of my haunting experience at the rental home in San Antonio
Read Part one of my paranormal experience if you missed it.
The land lord covered all the details on the house and gave us the keys. We moved in the next day and I had already eyed what room I would be in.
The first night was a quiet night. I mostly listened to my radio and thought nothing of what the lady had said about her mom passing away in the home. I did think sub continuously where she died but I never dared to ask my mom because I knew in the back of my mind my mine would play tricks on me.
We went on as normal and the house was quiet. Nothing out of the ordinary until one day on my way from school I plugged in the nintendo 64 in to play a game of mario cart the volume of the television went from the normal settings to practically silence.
I had just called my mom asking her if she needed any groceries from the grocerie store while I continued playing my game of mario cart when my nintendo 64 game poped out of the game counsel.

My very own haunting experience at a rental home. Part one
Many years ago when my mom and I were in the mist of looking for a place to live in San Antonio but nothing that we could find that was affordable but yet decent enough to call home. One day one of my moms friends called her and asked her if she would be interested in renting a house instead of an apartment. My moms friend gave her the number to the lady with the house and right away my mom made a connection with the owner to rent the house.
We packed our bags and all our belongings but before that we met with the owner of the home on a clear Saturday afternoon. She was a nice lady and open the house to show us this nice house in a quiet neighborhood on the south side of San Antonio.
The house had a nice back yard with a nice big tree in the middle with tons of leaves which you know will fall during the winter. She did tell us that the house was her moms house who had passed away around a year ago and had been left with no tenants because the family could not decide weather to rent or sell the home. She said the family finally came to an agreement that they would like to rent the house off to not only pay taxes off with the money from the tenant but to have a monthly income that the family could share.
She went on to tell us that her mom love this home and she could not bare seeing it sold to someone. In the back of my mind I could only think oh great a dead woman lurks in this house....

Mission San Jose Photo - believe to be haunted.

| Front of Mission San Jose |

| Rose window. Some say it was built by a builder who dedicated it to his love Rosa. |
Here is a photo I took a while back of Mission San Jose. According to locals some say a black dog hangs around at night in the court yard. Some say its an indian spirit that lingers in the area. Others have
stated seeing a headless priest which some say is seen on nights when the moon is full.
If you are in the San Antonio Texas area its a nice mission to visit other then the Alamo.

The Players Club once known as El Camaroncito club
One of my first writings was about a night club at the time called EL Camaroncito which in English means the little shrimp. Its location is on the Old highway 90 road on the west side.
Today the old club has been converted to a strip club which was confirmed by a recent visitor who works at the club. Thank you Frank for your insight on the club and the strange things that still happen.
The club today is called the Players Club but it seems that strange occurrences have occurred at the club.
To summarize the story many people who have gone to the night club at the time say that the devil dances there and calls to beautiful women.
You can read more about my old post on the Camaroncito Urban legend.

Our Trip to New Orleans and our freaky experience with a tarot card reader.
Last year my wife and I decided to head out to the big easy(New Orleans) for a mini vacation away from Texas. Yes we left Texas as beautiful as our State is we wanted to do the tourist thing and visit the French Quarter drink up the Cajun Music and eat a shirmp Poo-boy.
On our way to New Orleans we had some car trouble with one of our front tires but couldnt find what was wrong with it. It didn't stop us from having fun so we went and visited many shops and we did the carriage tour.
Our last day we ran into a fortune teller who offered to do our fortune for a nominal price and we figured what could it hurt. I figured by the end of the reading I would be a millionaire with a sports car but the reading was actually surprising.
One of the readings went on to say we had problems with our car and we needed to look into getting it fixed. What was freaky was he told us that it was something to do with the right tire. Keep in mind we were about 75 miles away from New Orleans when we heard the noises coming from the car.
After the reading he gave us an amulet and told us that it should take care of any problems and to give us a safe journey. As soon as we left New Orleans I kid you not the car noise went away.
We got home and had one of our friends who was a mechanic take a look at the wheel and he said there was nothing wrong.
Maybe it was the Voodoo Queen giving us a warning. ;)
