Short Ghost Stories

The Boy
by EWK

A friend of mine that works for the Medical Examiner’s Office in a major metropolitan city. He told me some incredible stories, about some unexplained experiences he has had on the job. You would think in his line of work literally arriving moments after the death that if there were any truth to the stories of an afterlife or linking spirit activity to a traumatic death this would be about as close as you can get. At the Medical Examiner’s Office, the family of the deceased are taken to the viewing room. This is where the body has been prepared and displayed for identification. One story he told me had to do with the viewing room, and a young boy that had drowned.

The grandparents arrived and was taken into the viewing room, as the body was uncovered the grandmother collapsed from grief. What he tells me next along with my own experiences convinces me. That we are comfortable in the belief, that everything we surround ourselves in is real, this illusion we call life. As the grandparents, stand grieving in the hallway waiting for the sheriff to escort them out. He saw the boy from the viewing room walk down the hall right past his grieving grandparents. He said the boy just walked right past them completely unnoticed. Continued down the hallway and down the stairs leading to the exit into the Sheriff’s departments parking garage. Two off duty police officers seen the boy and ordered him to stop. The boy stopped turned and looked at them, then faded away. Three eyewitnesses and two 3-inch thick steal locked doors that exit into the parking garage, and one hell of a ghost story.

3 Knocks
by EWK

It has been years ago now but when my wife's father passed away an unusual occurrence happen. I did not know him all that well but he knew that I hunted ghosts. Those weeks after the funeral my wife stayed with her sisters out of town. I went home every night to an empty house, but as soon as I lay down and try to sleep, I started hearing knocks; I ignored them at first, but night after night, the same three knocks. After a couple nights of this, I was on a mission to find out what was causing the noise. I would jump out of bed rush to the door turn on the lights hoping I would catch whatever it was in the act. I walked around outside in the middle of the night to find nothing. Days of logging the same activity, always three knocks coming from the window. Something unique happened I felt something around my toes on my left foot. I kept looking down at the end of my bed at my foot. It felt warm around my toes as if someone had cupped their hands around it. Then my foot was pulled off the bed! I responded with thank you that was cool! (Ghost Hunter Response) Later when my wife returned from her sisters, I told her I keep hearing a knock on the back door only to find nothing. She told me when her father came over to the house he would knock 3 times on the window. Something I did not know, but after my foot, being pulled of the bed I figured something was going on. I eventually told her that it was three knocks that I was hearing on the door, but never told her about my foot. Soon after my foot being pulled off the bed, the activity ended.

Over the past nine years of investigating the unexplained there are many unforgettable cases. Of course it all starts with a call, or by filling out a claim of activity report. After reviewing the claims, and follow up phone interview most claims were explainable, and rejected. Then there were individuals with obvious mental disorders such as schizophrenia, others revealed they were under a doctors care. Then there were claims so fantastic that we didn't believe them, some as if they've seen way too many horror movies. Most cases where rejected but we managed to filter through enough of them that we conducted the next step in our interview process and that is the onsite walkthrough. These are the cases that showed the most promise, that the activity could be recorded during the day. The most notable cases had movement, intelligent responses, all caught on video, and audio.
