I AM HAUNTED!!!

Or at least there are ghosts all around.

So seriously, I was going to do videos about this, but then had 3 realizations:

1. That's super lame.
2. I would never have the camera on me when most stuff happens.
3. Honestly even if it was on video you people wouldn't believe me!

basically where it all started, kimberly crest top story is where you can allegedly see the lady of the house i think her name was mary? Its definitely creepy here and i've heard some EVP from here real or fake i can only tell you what i've seen for myself but if you want i can link the page down below somewhere...

Let me begin by telling you a little story of my "paranormal"...experiences? Eh, I don't know what to call it but OK whatever.


From a young age I was always attracted to strange and different things than other kids were [in the 90's, these days kids are too crazy] anyways, I always have believed in the paranormal. Let me tell you this. I grew up in an extremely conservative household! My mom basically raised me in an extremely Conservative Pentecostal baptist church. I was never exposed to movies or any kind of media that would influence the things that i saw or heard until at least the age of 10!

I've always been able to read people and have always had the craziest deja-vu. Not only that but I've always sensed how different places feel. I know it sounds absolutely crazy,  but is totally true. Being a kid who has no idea what this feeling was and trying to explain it got me labeled as a kid with an overactive imagination, which i mean my imagination is pretty damn good but wasn't the cause behind this stuff.

 I grew up in one of the top 50 haunted cities IN AMERICA! Ir ranks in top 10 most haunted cities in CA and is ranked the top 3 highest population of occult/satanic groups in a particular area [although I'm not sure if this is just in CA or for all of America...] Yes these are real numbers and i only found this out maybe less than a year ago. The city is old, historic, and full of creepy buildings. Honestly, if somewhere were to be haunted it would be Redlands.

Once upon a time my old school decided it would be good to take my class out on a field trip of all the monuments and important/old buildings of any historical value in the city. I was in 1st grade and was either 5 or 6 years old, but I'm going to say 5 because i think it was before my birthday... While visiting our first location i got a weird feeling that i can not even begin to explain. It lasted thoughtout our walk through the bamboo forest, prospect park, and the Kimberley mansion. Being a kid out with my friends on a field trip i thought nothing of it until, that is, while standing in front of a beautiful water fountain i saw something move in one of the windows. Being the church going youngster that i was, i dismissed it as one of the tour guides. So we walk inside this mansion and while everyone is standing listening to the tour guide i notice a table cloth moving around quite a bit, but i figured it was the wind or something and thought nothing more of it. During the trip we went on to visit a few other locations some where i felt a little weird and others where i felt nothing at all. Honestly you guys i can't stress enough how damn innocent i used to be so really nothing strange ever crossed my mind during this whole trip. After finally returning to school from the field trip one of my friends decides to tell me that some of the places we went were haunted. After mildly geeking out [i wasn't really ever afraid of ghosts] and playing with my friends ii forgot about the whole incident.

Since then in certain situations or places i get the same feeling the whole aura feels different sometimes a little , other times alot. Sometimes i see things, other times [rarely] i can hear things and its kind of really creepy but i wouldn't say impossible. To add to it i have always had extreme deja vu. I dream things sometimes even day dream and it will happen within the week. Lately my deja-vu is getting more and more frequent, which kind of creeps me out A whole lot.

What got me started was today while totally alone i heard someone whisper to me, all they said was "hey", i think 2 times. Needless to say it sounds damn crazy, which is why i don't go around advertising it. Because it's not like it happens often but i am a little freaked out and i think it's a good idea to record the things i see, hear, dream or whatever somewhere so maybe someone can see [as if anyone cares lol.] Maybe if these entries get alot of hits I'll move them to another blog [not sure yet] but who knows, maybe I'm imagining it all. Whatever the case its weird and i want to go ghost hunting to see if this is just my head messing with me in cases of stress or if its the real deal, which lets be honest, the latter seems to be the More likely case. Who knows though ?

Anyways that's it for now and until next time much love,
