(Before It's News)
I wrote the story below about two years ago. It is the story of a friend of mine who had a ghost in her house. I had not seen my friend in awhile and decided to call her for a lunch date. She told me I should re run the story about the ghost who has been living with them but to wait until we have lunch together as she had an update to the story. Let me start by telling you the original story of my friends ghost.
My friend and her family are a average American family living here on Long Island in New York. They live in a average neighborhood in a modest comfortable home on a friendly street. All is well and normal in their world except for one small annoying intrusion.
Since they have lived in the house , especially around the holidays, the family has been dealing with a ghost in their house. This has been going on for over 40 years.
The house was originally built by a young couple who had two little kids and a grandfather who lived with them. The grandfather lived on the second floor and loved his home. He had a sitting room on the second floor with a bedroom and private bath. Outside he kept roses and flowers that he loved and tended with care.
Both the young husband and wife worked full time jobs. The grandfather watched over the children until the couple returned home at night. The family seemed typical to the other families in the neighborhood. The granddad was happy to be with his family and tend his roses. He was content with his life. Often you could find him smoking his pipe waiting in his rocking chair on the front porch for the children to return from school. Life seemed to be working and happy for this family.
It started during one hot summer. The young couple began to fight. The young man started to drink heavily. Often you could hear yelling and loud arguing erupting from the house. The neighbors began to talk. Eventually the people on the street had to call the police when the fighting became too loud or violent.
Often the neighbors could hear doors slamming and furniture being thrown against walls. By the fall of that year gunshots were heard a few times and the police were a constant fixture at the home. The family was dissolving. The old grandfather was caught in the middle of a terrible situation. It was a difficult time.
The couple divorced. The wife took the children and moved away. The young husband placed the house for sale. The grandfather had to be placed in an old folks home. Word had it his heart was broken.
The family, my friend, who now live in this home were the people who bought the house from the young husband. That was over 40 years ago. They are a lovely happy normal family who have loved , taken care of and enjoyed the house all of these years . They raised their children in the house and have kept it in good condition, including trying to tend to the large rose garden that came with the house. This family also has put up with the grandfathers ghost all of this time!
It is said that the old man did not make out too well once he left his once happy home. He hated the old folks home and only lasted a few years before he passed away.
My friend and her family who now own the house started to notice odd activities around the home from the time they moved in to it. . It would increase around the holidays.
Often when the family would be sitting in the dining room eating they would hear the front door open and someone walk up the stair case to the second floor. The family would call out to see who was there without any reply. They would search the house to find it empty but for the family members who were sitting at the table. This odd activity would often increase around Christmas time.
The family would hear someone slamming doors or footsteps overhead on the second floor of the house while s they sat in the family room on the first floor. Again. they would search only to find an empty house.
The worst of it was the ongoing smell of someone smoking a pipe. Each time this would occur the house would fill with the smell of a freshly lit pipe being smoked. At times the odor of the pipe would be so overpowering the family needed to open windows and doors
I ran into my friend who owns this house a few years ago when I was Christmas shopping. I asked her at the time if she was still having ghostly problems? She laughed and told me that the old grandfather was still with them. She told me he still brings his smelly old pipe with him too!
I was amazed at how matter of fact my friend was about sharing her home with this ghostly invasion. I wondered if she ever feared the ghost or if she ever thought about bringing in a ghost hunter?
This is what my friend told me:
“No, we are not fearful at all. After 40 years of having him walk around the house we feel he is harmless. For some reason he likes to be in the house during the holidays. He also refuses to move on. We think he still is tending his roses and smoking his pipe. It doesn’t interfere with our lives so we just let it be. Anyway we never touch those roses yet they get bigger and more beautiful each and every year for the last 40 years. Why spoil a good thing? . We don’t mind, we are use to him.”
I remember the day she told me that on the day I ran into her while we were both Christmas shopping I could not help notice in her basket a bunch of red stockings with the names of her family written on top of them . I had to smile as I looked at the pile of stockings as right on top of the pile was a stocking with the name Grandpa written across it. I had to envy how easily this family was handling the strange encounters of their live in ghost.
I could not wait to meet my old friend for lunch this year as I was curious to what was happening with the family ghost. Once at lunch my friend filled me in on the ghostly update..
My friend told me that since we had last seen each other she and her husband did a large addition and renovation to their house. She told me they demolished the front of the house adding new rooms and a new entrance to the house. They moved the stair case to the back of the house and enlarged the bedrooms on the second floor. They also added a large deck and pool to the back yard and had to pull out the old roses and plant new ones in another area.
She told me the ghost reacted when the work started by throwing the tools of the men working on the house or moving them or taking them to never be found again. He would push the men who worked alone hard enough to make them lose their balance and fall over. The carpenters were frightened which often caused delays and problems for all involved. She told me he would pull down sheet rock and bang on the floors and walls frightening the men trying to work on the remodel.
My friend told me that this went on until the day the roses were removed. She told me that was the last day they ever saw or heard or smelled the pipe of the ghost of the old grandfather. Since the house remodel was completed they never again were visited by the ghost .
My friend feels that the grandfather ghost finally moved on . Once the house was no longer the one he knew he did not seem to want to stay. Once the roses he loved were removed and replaced with the deck and pool the ghost seemed to lose interest in staying on and simply moved on.
I guess we changed the house to the point he did not feel he belonged here any longer. She added that she and the other family members felt it was a good thing for their ghost to move on to a better place and feel he has finally found his peace..
I could not help wonder if she kept that stocking with his name on it. When I asked her about it she laughed and told me the stocking goes up every year. She told me that after 40 years of sharing the house with him they want him to know he is always welcome- especially during the holidays!
I find the manner in which this paranormal event was handled by my friend and her family one in which they accepted the unknown as simply something they did not fully understand but also something that was not completely out of the ordinary. They felt the grandfather needed to stay for awhile and they allowed him to. He moved on when he was ready .
I do not know if I could be as easily going with a ghost in the house . I do know I did learn a new way at looking at something that I once considered extreme with new eyes and realize sometimes we just need to relax and let things be.
I truly wish my friends and all of you the love and happiness of the Season.…and Happy Holidays to you too Grandpa!

This is one question my readers have asked me since I have been writing about the Real Time Abductee Group I am part of.
I decided the best thing for me to do is simply describe a few abductions experiences as told to me by the real time abductees . I am not going to color it up or fluff the event with fictitious details to make it more appealing . I am going to simply describe what I have been told concerning lost time or abduction events by those who were minding their business going along a typical day until that day was invaded.
Let me start with an event that happened to a lifelong abductee . She was about 15 years old when this event took place during the mid 1960s
She was shopping after school along her small towns Main Street.. This event happened in the month of November . She remembers that it was about 5PM and already dark outside by the time she finished shopping . She had a 15 minute walk home from town. Not wanting to be out alone too long in the park she hurried on her way with her package of magazines, nail polish and school supplies in our arms.
She was dressed in the style of the times which included a short skirt, high boots and fishnet stockings. She laughs as she recalls clearly that she had on a hat all the kids wore at the time which was a cap styled after ones the Beatles were wearing. She was a typical kid Beatles cap and all.
She tried not to be out late as she had a history of strange events including lost time events and was frightened to be out alone in the dark. Now with the night coming earlier with the change in daylight saving time she was caught walking home by herself this dark evening. There were lots of people around town so she thought she would be OK as she quickly headed back towards her home. She knew she would be home right on time for dinner as she briskly walked along Main Street towards her neighborhood.
She turned off the main road heading down the side streets lined with the houses of those who lived in her town. Her house was located at the end of two long streets that were sparsely lit and which made her a bit anxious as she picked up her pace towards her house.
She was only about a block away from her front door when it started. The young abductee first felt a strong sensation of blacking out. She remembers dropping her shopping bags on the ground as she stumbled thinking she was going to fall. The next sensation she can recall is being bathed in a strong white light.
Without explanation the teen abductee next found she was only a few hundred feet from her house walking with her bags in her arms. She felt sick and was very cold.
She entered her house by way of the front door to find her parents frantic. It seems they had been out looking for her as she was two hours late and they did not like the fact she was out so late in the dark alone.
Her parents realized at once that something was wrong with their daughter. They took the packages from her hands and pulled off her coat to get a good look at her.
She was shaking and complaining of being very cold. When they asked her what time she thought it was she told them it could only be about ten minutes after 5PM.
Her parents were concerned as it was 7:30 PM and their daughter looked pale and ill. As they looked more closely at her they realized she had thrown up as her shirt and skirt were covered with the mess. Her mother took her in to her room to help her out of her soiled clothes so she could be cleaned up.
As the mother helped to undress the abductee she became distressed to find that the young girls fishnet stockings seemed to be burned to a crisp leaving them brittle and crumbling to the touch. She pulled the destroyed hosiery from her daughters legs to find they seemed to have left a pattern on her legs as if she had been out in the sun and been sunburned. She had the X pattern of the fishnets clearly sunburned on her legs.
The young abductee did not remember anything but the light and walking up to her house. She had no idea where she had been for the missing hours. Her parents were upset as they had been searching for her along the route she claimed she had been walking but could not find her. They were getting ready to call the police when she came walking from the dark street up to the house.
The abductee felt weak and ill as if she had a bad flu. Her legs hurt and she had a terrible headache. Her parents put her to bed and kept a close watch on her. She stayed home from school for a few days before returning to her previous good health. Her legs healed from the slight burn .
Since this was not the first and sadly for this abductee not the last event of this type the only thing her parents knew to do was insure their daughter never be out alone again at night. That was the last time she ever went out after dark alone. In fact it was one of the last times she ever went anywhere completely alone. Without question a hard way to live a long life.
The next abduction is also typical of what takes place in the life or a real time abductee. Ordinary people going about the business of their regular day when something uninvited invades their life and kidnaps them unwillingly.
The abductee in this instance is a man. He has been struggling with lost time events since he was about 19 years old.
This abduction took place when he was 30 years old. The man usually returned home from work by 6PM . On the night of the event he had worked a few hours overtime and which brought him home closer to 9PM.
He worked about 10 minutes away from his house and followed the exact same route each day. He would leave work return to his home town and then would follow a few residential side streets to his street.
On this night he followed his usual route arriving on his street around 9:15 PM.
He had made the last turn through the neighborhood onto his street and was about 1000 feet from his driveway. As he headed towards his house he confronted a dense white fog in the middle of the street . He brought his car to a stop as he tried to figure out what the haze was that was blocking him from his home.
As he looked ahead into this fog or haze he realized that forms of people where walking towards him from the haze. He remembers seeing the shape of beings with heads , arms and legs walking from the fog towards him and then- he remembers nothing at all.
The next thing the man knew he was laying across his front seat of his car waking up. He felt awful . His head ached and he was sick to his stomach. He looked at his watch to find it was just before midnight.
He got out of his car and looked around to find he was parked at the edge of a dock by a River a few towns away from where he lived.
The man got in his car and drove home. He had no idea where he had been or what had happened to him. His back and legs hurt him and he felt like he had a bad flu. The next morning he called in sick to work as he was throwing up and too ill to leave his home. He checked his car and found the hood covered with a dust and the paint on his car having a sanded effect in areas. His car also had a foul smell that lasted a few days even after being washed inside and out.
This event was like others this man has had . Although he does recall small portions of the lost time events he is not willing or wanting to share them . He is a typical example of a real time abduction.
Lastly I will describe the abduction of an elderly couple who were on a vacation traveling through the state of Maryland during their ordeal. The couple had reservations at a motel they were due to arrive at within the hour to rest for the night. They never traveled in the dark and always plotted their routes so they were safely snug in a motel before sunset.
The couple were driving happily along when suddenly things just went blank for them. The next thing the couple remembers is waking sitting in the front seat of their car. It was two hours later yet they had no recall at all of driving or had any idea where they were. They were parked on the grass along side of the highway.
The couple was confused and feeling faint . They decided to get back on the road to drive to the next exit so they could figure out where they were and what had happened.
The couple quickly found a rest stop and were amazed to find they were in Florida! The old couple could not believe what they were finding. How could they have traveled over 800 miles or so in 2 hours time and not have any recall of it?
It was impossible to travel that distance in their minivan in that time yet that is exactly what had occurred.
The elderly couple felt drained and knew they needed to find shelter for the night. They also knew what had happened as the woman had been abducted many times before in her long life. This was however the first time her husband had been involved.
She knew the best thing for them to do was to find a safe place near lots of people where they could rest until morning. They found a large well populated chain hotel where they stayed until the next morning. The following day they started early in the morning sun and finished their trip to their destination arriving a day early.
The senior couple paid to have their van driven home after their vacation and opted to fly home .
The couple thought that the abduction events had stopped for the woman as it had been years since she had been taken. Obviously this was not the case and they realized they had to go back to being extremely careful about where they went and what they did to try to prevent any future events from happening.
The abduction events I wrote about here today are very similar to what many real time abductees go through. Real time abductions are events that take place while the abductee is fully awake going about the regular routines of their life when suddenly against their will , without their consent , they are taken by beings of the unknown. They are returned without fanfare often sick, hurt and frightened. Sometimes they are replaced back in the same areas they are taken sometimes they are returned in unfamiliar spots leaving them on their own to find their way home.
The real time abductees are very similar in other ways also. They do recall parts of the lost time they suffer but never have full recall of any event. Many times the memory of what took place returns in flashes but not right away with many finding the pieces coming back to them after weeks or months of the event.
All the abductees are reluctant or refuse completely to discuss this strange part of their lives. All the abductees seem as suspicious and fearful of their fellow humans as they are of those who abduct them.
About half of the real time abductee people I have talked to agree that humans have some type of connection to their abductions.
As far as similarities I have found Real time abductees by large percent have RH negative blood type . They also by percent have blue or light eyes, fair skin and seem to be above average in intelligence. I am not sure if they started out this way or if their intelligence is somehow related to their abduction experiences.
The only message from the group for mankind is to be careful of your surroundings. They warn against making yourself an easy target and suggest you stay away from places where you can be easily taken especially if you are alone.
I understand how awful it is to be taken against your will, abused and thrown back without regard only to find you are alone and rejected by your own kind after the event has happened. Maybe one day this will be different . For now those who live this nightmare do so on their own and defensive against a world where they walk unlike others with one hand in real time daily life and the other defending against the unknown.
The real time abductees do not want to discuss this subject as they do not trust or care about a society that has often turned its back on them. I am fortunate they have talked with me on many subjects and can only hope that my articles about this group can bring a new view of this subject to those who are looking for truth.
Please be careful out there. You never know when it will be your day to find you are alone looking in to the cold dark eyes of the unknown!

I have three close friends who happen to be pilots.
Over the years I never found the right time to ask them if they had ever seen anything unknown during their years of flying. This summer I decided to change that and went out of my way to find time to talk alone with each of them.
It was long overdue for me to ask my friends if any of them ever encountered something they considered strange or unknown while flying. I did not anticipate much of a response as I have known the three men I am writing about for many years and not one of them ever mentioned anything at all along the lines of unknown crafts or objects.
I thought it would have come up in conversation over the years if any of them had seen something they could not explain so did not think I would get much of a response to my questions . However I did want to ask each one of them to satisfy my own curiosity once and for all.
Obviously I was wrong and my pilot pals had seen strange things during their years of flying.
The first man I spoke with was a pilot for a very large corporation in Canada. After ending his career with the military he became a pilot for this corporation flying a private jet across North America to transport the executives in the company.
He told me that occasionally he and his crew would have to fly empty back across Canada in order to pick up a new group of passengers to transport across the continent. He told me when they did this he would fly high and fast to make up time.
During one of these trips, in the early 1990s , over the wilderness portion of Canada he and his co-pilot and two other crew members noticed a group of strange lights keeping pace with them . When they first noticed the lights they were far away from them but at the same altitude and speed.
The lights kept their distance for about 20 minutes before closing the distance between them. Within seconds they were close enough so they could make out the defined shape of an enormous rectangle shaped ship speeding along next to them at a distance of about a half a mile. The pilot radioed to find out if the strange object was being picked up by radar. At first he was told yes and then told it was not.
The crew of the private jet could not determine what this strange enormous craft could be and decided it best to drop in altitude to try to avoid any further contact with the unknown object.
The pilot changed course and became frightened as the craft also followed his changes.
Again the jet requested to change course and again they were followed. The pilot then requested to land at a nearby airport and not continue on with his flight.
The pilot and crew prepared to change course for a third time to ready for a landing. Finally the huge craft changed its course and headed upwards away from the jet at an enormous speed .
The crew landed the private jet shaken and confused on what it was that was following them over the wilderness of Canada.
Of course nothing came of the incident other than the fact my pilot friend did all he could to not fly that path again during his career. He told me did not want to chance another encounter with something he did not understand that could out maneuver with extreme speed anything he had ever seen before.
I thought his encounter was very interesting but I must admit I am not at all surprised this sighting took place over the Canadian wilderness. I think there are many strange things that find a haven in the wilderness of Canada. It could be a place where a base or gathering area is located for unknown crafts. So much area in the Canadian wilderness is without population yet located close to the large population of the United States and the Canadian borders where most of Canada’s population is located. Using this wilderness would be a perfect destination for those who wish to visit us without being seen. Especially large crafts that have the ability to fly high and fast. They could come in and out of our planet via the protection of the wilderness as well as fly high and fast to avoid most air traffic.
The second friend I talked to was a Capt in the Air Force who flew bombing missions over Vietnam in the mid 1960s. He flew many missions during his military service giving him many hours in the sky.
I did not think he would have much to say on this subject as he is a very black and white kind of man without any room for fantasy or abstracts. I was a bit nervous to even bring up the subject knowing how he thinks and reacts to life.
During the summer I found myself sitting alone with my friend on the beach. We were talking about our families and life when I decided to just go for it and ask him if he had ever seen anything unusual while flying in the military.
My friend shocked me by quickly responding :
“You mean like UFO,s and stuff like that ?” Oh hell yeah, they followed us all the damn time”.
He then told me that it was not common but not unusual at all for the pilots who flew the missions at that time to be followed or escorted by objects that were part of the military or any craft they had ever seen before. He told me he had a few very plain gun metal oval shaped objects about the size of a school bus fly along side of or above him as he flew in and out of battle. He told me they never stayed long or approached too closely and were only seen for a few minutes at a time. He said he tried , as did the other pilots who saw them , to get away from them as they did not know what they were. He also told me they were very fast and could climb , turn and dive unlike anything we had that he knew of at the time.
I found it stunning that this particular friend was so matter of fact about something I found to be so extra ordinary. I asked him if he reported it and he simply laughed and said , ” Hell no we all wanted to stay flying, so we just never mentioned it and neither did the military – it was just part of the job”.
It shows that even in the mid 1960,s the code of silence already was strong as far as the subject of UFO’s were concerned .
The last pilot I talked to is a very close friend of mine. He told me about this event while staying with me this summer. It is a very interesting report to me as I know this man to be of high character and extremely logical and intelligent.
This friend also was an Air Force pilot during the 1960′s . He was a FAC or Forward Air Controller pilot in the Vietnam War. After he finished his service to his country my friend became a private pilot flying out of Northern California. He told me of a very odd experience he had during a flight in a small airplane while transporting one female passenger over Sacramento California in 1974. He was flying over Sacramento California one afternoon with his female passenger approaching the Capital Building . As my friend and his passenger flew closer they both noticed a large red orb about 1500 ft over the Capital Building just hanging there silently . My friend had never seen anything like it before. 
He radioed in asking if anyone else had reported the strange orb. He was told no one else had. He was fascinated by this strange object and radioed back that he was changing course to circle this object to see if he could figure out what it was and how it was just hovering in mid air . He and his passenger flew a semi circle around this object to get a better look at it. He said it was about the size of a Volkswagen. It was a perfect sphere hovering about 1500 feet directly over the Capital building ‘s dome. It was an incredible sight he told me as it had a liquid plasma moving interior. My friend described the orb as nothing he had ever seen before. He told me it was completely silent and did not move at all beside the motion of the plasma material in the center of the orb. There was no obvious method of how this object was able to hover in mid air. He and his passenger flew around the object as to make sure it was not a reflection or something that was a projection of some kind. It appeared to be equal all around and a solid object hovering in place over the Capital building. When my friend and the passenger returned to their planned course they radioed in the sighting to be met with a dull response that no one else is reporting the object. They landed shortly after with the anticipation all the news all over would be covered with the fact this large red orb was hovering over the Sacramento Capital Building in Sacramento California. To their utter astonishment there was not one word of it anywhere. It seemed incredulous to him and his passengers that thousands of other people out and about the Sacramento area did not notice that huge orb hovering directly over that building. He watched the news for about a week without any other report of the object. This my pilot friend found as strange as the sight of the object. He told me he never got over that day and wonders often what it was he saw hovering over that building. The only reasons I can come up for this is either the craft was cloaked from the ground so those below it could not see it or that the world just does not look up. Even on beautiful days in Sacramento. I find this encounter very interesting. I too witnessed a strange red orb with the same plasma type material moving within its borders. Although the one I saw was much smaller it too hovered silently in mid air. Interestingly the red orb I saw was also in the mid 1970s. I have been carefully reading other reports of similar objects and think one theory worth considering is that these orbs are secondary objects being released from much larger mother type ships. They may be used for the purpose of surveillance or some kind of connection with our planet that we do not yet understand. I came to this conclusion as I did come upon a few reports that mentioned second larger ships at a greater altitude seen around the area of orb sightings. I see no reason to discount this theory or any logical explanation concerning the reports all over the world of orbs over houses , buildings, towns, and cities. These objects are doing something, We just do not know what it is! I was glad I took the time to privately ask each of my pilot pals about this subject as they were the ones up there with the objects when they sighted them. The idea of it being lanterns, balloons, birds, swamp gas, or other planes was wiped out by the close view and expert eyes of the pilots flying along with these objects. I know after talking to those I know who fly the skies that I will pay far more attention next time I am traveling by air. Who knows what may be found if we just pay attention and look!
