I have just had a paranormal encounter and I am very excited about it!
Close to where Iive, there are two schools. By the field of one of the schools, is a bus terminus/turnaround inlet, for the school buses. This area has always felt eery. At the other side of the schools is a grave and something else that looks like a very strange grave at the bottom of a stream. The schools are surrounded by a mix of woodland and houses.
I went for a walk this evening and stopped for a while in the bus terminus at the school. It felt serene and I felt a sense of contentment. I was looking across at the houses with my back towards a small wooded area. After around three minutes, I heard sounds. These sounded like voices, human voices but not as though they were present with me, they sounded like they were distorted, as though played through a low quality speaker. I was scared initially but, being interested in the paranormal, I came back to look closer. It was dark, I could hear but not see. Had it been youths, I surely would have seen the light of a cigarette or a mobile phone screen, but I saw nothing, no movement in the bushes. The noise became more coherent and I started to hear laughter. The laughter became very coherent. As I marvelled at the bushes, I saw a rope of dark light fire out of the bush towards me. I believe this to be an orb.
I then saw a beautiful shephard type dog come out from the gate next to the bushes. The dog seemed elated. It didn't behave like normal dogs. Normal dogs would be weary when emerging from a gate, stop, look around and walk in a zig zag style pattern. This dog came out of the gate and straight towards me, in a very straight line, as though it was a computer animation. It came towards me, its tail wagging. I said hello. It did not touch me and I got the sense that if I reached my hand out, I would not feel anything. He then turned around, in a robotic fashion and went back through the gate, seemingly soundless.
I expected a dog walker to follow behind and out of the gate, but nothing. There was no human that appeared, even though I waited around a while to see. There were no torches, no sounds of footsteps. I can't recall the dog even having a lead or a harness.
I am convinced this was a ghost dog, and possibly a ghost walker. I am normally wary of dogs that approach me, but with this dog, I was not scared, I felt calm and inquizitive.
I think back to when I saw the ghost of a Dickenzian woman in my living room. I felt no fear at the time. I don't believe that ghosts are scary. Though, the mere thought of them can bring us excitement and fear. It's a false fear, like when we do a skydive, we know that there are safety procedures in place, but we still fear and enjoy the fear.
What an interesting walk I have had this evening. There is something about walking in the dark that sparks intrigue. My intrigue certainly paid off this evening.
