A few months later, my brother J called me and said I had to come over right away and see the pictures we took at Bachelor's Grove. He said there were ghosts, images that can't be explained. I really can't recall if I went over there that day, or the next day, perhaps it was the weekend. My work schedule was hectic at the time.
I arrived at the house to find J at the kitchen table with a bright light and a magnifying glass. The Polaroids we took were laid out on the table and he was jumping out of his skin! He said, "Mary! Look at this! See?" He pointed to areas on the photos. I didn't see a thing, at first. He picked up another photo and said, "See the lady? HERE!" I could tell he was getting very frustrated with me...LOL! I saw the same photos full of foliage and trees and gravestones that we took months earlier. He then told me that the images were translucent, and that they seemed to pop out three dimensionally from the photos. I finally saw what he was trying to show me! One of the pics that we took while walking down the gravel road on our way to the cemetary gates has faces looking at us, both from the left and the right! These faces aren't human, although we can see typical features of the eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, and chin.
These images are other-worldly, somewhat wrinkled, and evil in appearance. Here is a photo with one of them outlined.
I have a huge rush of chills thinking that these "things" were watching us and right there with us that innocent morning. Wrinkly foreheads and evil eyes just popped right out at me. I grabbed the magnifying glass in an attempt to explain this all away scientifically. If this has never happened to you, let me explain something...you try to dispute it, to find a plausible explanation. Bad film? Shadows and light playing tricks? Anything to find an explanation.
Do you think I'm nuts yet? The next photo I looked at revealed a translucent image of a woman in a long white dress, and I can make out her face and hair in a "bun" atop her head. The chilling part is that she is holding what appears to be an axe at her side, with the axe blade on the ground. She doesn't look very happy. This shows up better in the original photo.
Below is a scanned blowup of the above photo which I think shows the woman spirit in better detail. Remember this image is translucent, it's a spirit.
The below photo has an image of a translucent man standing in the distance, but within the graveyard. Our impression is that he is a soldier, it appears that way by his dress and he has a rifle over his shoulder. It could be a farmer though, we can't tell for sure.
In the outlined area, notice the white pants and what appears to be a hat. The original photos are much clearer than the scans. Also, the scan below is smaller than the blowup we did to see the details.
One photo that is extremely upsetting is what appears to be a little blond-haired boy about four or five years of age. I say that because of his chubby cheeks. He has what appears to be a bandage around his forehead and there is the appearance of blood coming from his nostrils. This translucent image covers a large part of the center of this photo. He appears sad, and the feeling we have is that something terrible happened to this little boy. We managed to contact his spirit at a later date on the Ouija Board, and found out his name is Billy.
Billy is in this photo, his head slanted to the right. He is translucent and his face fills the rectangle.
I added a yellow arrow to point to Billy's ears in this photo, his head slanted to the right. He is translucent and his face fills the rectangle.
I added a yellow arrow to point to Billy's nose in this photo, his head slanted to the right. He is translucent and his face fills the rectangle.
I added a yellow arrow to point to Billy's mouth in this photo, his head slanted to the right. He is translucent and his face fills the rectangle.
We have looked at these photos many times since then. We still see these images to this day. The next three stories will tell you about our Ouija Board experiences, and also our eventual contact with the little boy in the photo.
In 1986, my brother and I decided to play around with the Ouija Board while my mother was out of town. This was an evil act according to our mother, because many years ago she had a strange experience with one and considered it evil. After warming it up, and concentrating, the pointer began to pull into perfect figure eights. I asked J if he was doing it, and he said no, and he asked me if I was doing it. Of course I said "No". We said "hello" to the entity, and it spelled "hi". This "spirit", or whatever you call it, was able to move the pointer really fast, not missing a letter the whole time. The "pull" of the pointer was really strong and sure figure eights. We asked him if he had a name, and he spelled out H.U.J. We pronounce it as rhyming with "Budge." Also, we were not afraid of this spirit, because our feelings and impressions were that he was friendly and had a good sense of humor. We asked HUJ about past lives. I asked him how many past lives I've had, and he replied "95". J asked him the same question, and HUJ replied with "0". I really can't recall all of the contacts we had with HUJ as there were so many of them over time, all friendly. His trademark movements were perfect and controlled figure eights, and sharp pulls when spelling out words. At one point, our request for HUJ brought us in contact with an evil spirit trying to pass itself off as HUJ or at least interrupted our conversation with HUJ. That story is called "Evil Intentions" and is found on Page Three linked below.
One night, J and I were looking at the Polaroid photos that we took at Bachelor's Grove. We just have to look at these pics from time to time, it's just amazing! We decided to pull out the Ouija Board and try to contact the little boy. After a warm-up, we got the ever familiar HUJ and we asked him if we could get in contact with the boy in the photo. HUJ then pointed to "Yes" and in his quick and flawless manner, spelled out "BILLY" on the Board. We thanked him, as we always do, good manners seem to impress some spirits!
 Next, as we had the Polaroid of the little boy "spirit" in front of us, we called for him. Now, the movements of the pointer were, I guess one could say, unsure, as unsure as a little boy could be. Billy was a poor speller, and at first it was a jumble of meaningless letters. He was finally able to control the pointer a little to communicate with us. We tried to limit our questions to Yes/No questions to help him out. We found out he was five years old, and he spelled more than once that he was murdered. He seemed sad, and so were we. He wanted us to find his killer. He was really insistent that we do this. Of course, I suppose that's impossible, as we could never pinpoint the year of his death, or who may have done this to him. One night, as we were communicating with Billy through the Ouija board, I asked him to give us a sign that he really was "around". In under a minute, there was a sharp rapping sound "rap-rap-rap-rap" on the patio doors which were less than 10 feet from us. Here we were communicating with spiritual entities on the Ouija board and we are completely scared when one decides to knock on our door? I can still recall the feeling of color draining from my face as my heart pounded, and how I yelled after my brother, "Don't leave me here! Wait for Meeeeee!" He was running for the front door and out of the house, and he had no intentions of waiting for me! He hopped into his Firebird and I hopped in too and we sped down the street. We drove around the neighborhood for awhile trying to sort out what just happened. The entity "Billy" had answered my request to show us a sign, and we didn't seem to handle it very well. In light of the pictures and the disappearing house and contacting strange spirits through the Ouija board, one would think we wouldn't be quite so rattled! We were "asking" for it you know. All I can tell you is that the sharp rapping on the patio doors had to be Billy! The backyard is surrounded by a 6 foot fence, the gates were locked as usual, and this has never happened before or since. |
