Spirit Chronicles: Gingerman

Featured

My wife and I were on a mini vacation to the North Carolina mountains in a small cool town called Banner Elk. In this small town is an old very haunted hospital called Cannon Memorial (check it out on youtube). This place has been on several top ghost hunting shows on various channels. I actually spent a week in that old hospital back in the mid 1980’s with a severe head injury and while in there I had several odd experiences. As we entered the town limits we drove past the old place and I immediately picked up on a heavy spirit load. This means that I got heavy chest pressure, a headached and breathing problems.

This happens when I am surrounded by bad spirits that mean harm to people. The old hospital has a history of hauntings, documented pictures, sightings and other paranormal expereinces. This feeling of spirit told me that something or many somethings knew I could sense them and they came to me to try and communicate or harrass me. I pushed them away as I do with negative spirits and drove on past the place. Later that night about 12:15am as I preparing to go to bed I saw a tall red headed man standing beside my bed. He was holding a little girl and both of their faces were deformed which signifies to me a lost or mean spirit. I see them for what they really are due to my abilities and gifts.

The tall man looked at me and pushed the child towards me and it cried and screamed at me with an horrific smile with nasty teeth. This told me that it was not a real baby but a trickster spirit using the image of a child to try and fool me. Sensing that both wanted to harm me I immediately went into attack mode which is the typical response for me. It is a response of fight or flight and I usually go after it first to let it know that I am not afraid of it. I took a swing at it and it moved away and growled at me. I began to command it to leave me alone and leave the room and house immediately in Gods name. It growled and mocked me when I spoke the Lords Prayer. I continued to pursue it and read Bible verses to it and it left because no spirit can stand to Gods word.

The next day I was meditating near a river to cleanse myself and I heard my spirit guide say that was the Gingerman. I went back to the room and did some research and found several references to the Gingerman. None of the them seemed to tie directly to the old Hospital but I am sure that is where this came from. So I called on my Angels and guides to show me more and I had a dream the next day about the old hospital fourth floor. Turns out I was on the fourth floor when I was in that old hopsital many years earlier when I was in my early twenties. The Gingerman is still to be figured out, but the feeling I have is he was one of the negative people that died there before the place closed and he is now a wandering spirit in that old Cannon Hospital. I will continue to work on this story and find what happened and who the Gingerman is.

Spirit Chronicles: The Four At the Top of the Stairs

Featured

I was mediatating, praying and meditating the other morning and spirit hit me really hard. I knew it was a strong spirit so I asked it what it wanted. I then heard the spirit say “the four at the top of the stairs”. I asked who I was talking to and spirit said “Jack”. I asked Jack if he was one of the four and he showed me a hand pointing to the top of the stairs. I asked him who he was with and he said, “anibelle”. I ask what he wanted and he showed me a sign of heaven. Jack was a wandering spirit that is between here and heaven in the spirit realm and he is with his family.

I did some research and found a local family where the dad’s name was Jack, the wife Anibelle and they had two kids. I went back the next day to the top of the steps in the house and asked Jack about what I had found but they were gone. I am not sure if they were really in the house or just wandered by in the spiritual realm. I was having an extra strong day that day and seemed to picking up lots of spririt activity and with the massive power lines on our property that is like a major spirit highway. The power lines provide the power and energy for spirit to talk to me.

I will continue to see if Jack shows back up soon. I have had hundreds of spirits contact me in the last several months with most being breif visions or dreams showing me themselves or a sign. I often hear them, see them and pick up on their energy outside. Jack and his family are at the top of some stairs waiting for someone to help them get into the light.

Spirit Chronicles: Empty Old Houses, Creepy Crawlers and the Old Men.

Featured

I was walking down a neighborhood street and every house was old and failing apart at the seams. They all had a white spider cobweb like substance on them holding them together. Every house I looked inside was full of spiders and creepy crawly things. When the door opened they would fall apart like a crubling cracker that was smashed up suddenly. I went down the road looking for a house to stay in but one by one they all fell apart. I went to hundreds of them and each fell over or crumbled and the spiders and other creepy bugs would crawl out and scatter all over the woods and streets as if they were afraid and running from something.

I saw a man that I know died many years ago. He is a dad of an old friend I have not seen in many years and died sometime around 2010 or so to the best I can remember. I asked him what was happening with all these crumbling houses and he said “the old grumpy man at the end of the road doesn’t want anyone living near him anymore”. I am not sure what this mean’t, but I do know that it made sense becasue every house was old, nasty and weak at the base. If you opened a door it fell apart. I kept looking at houses and got to the very end of the road and down at the base of the hill stood another older house. This one was white and looked better than the others.

Sitting on the porch was an old guy I had never seen and he just looked at me with a death stare like he wanted to intimidate me and make me go away. I walked up to him and said, “old man why are you making it hard for anyone to live near you”. He just looked at me and smirked, stood up and walked inside and his house crumbled and fell apart as well. Then the other man I knew said, “I told you to stay away from his house”. I woke up and wrote down this dream. I have to do some thinking and research to figure out what the message was and why I saw a man I have not seen nor heard from in many many years.

Spirit Chronicles: Standing Near the Window

Featured

I woke up and felt a spirit close to me so I looked around to see where it may be. The spirit was standing outside the window and looking in. I had the blinds closed and could sense it was out there and trying to peek inside at me. I asked it who it was and what it wanted and it stayed quiet. I felt a tingling on the top of my head which signals to me that it is trying to let me know it is near me. I once again ask it who it was and what it wanted. I didn’t get a response so I told it to go away from me and back to where it came from.

I went back to sleep but continued to feel it outside the window. After I fell asleep the spirit came to me in my dreams and showed itself to me. It was a man that was a wandering spirit. He had died somewhere may years ago in the woods about an hour from my house. Earlier that night I had felt a strong spririt as I was driving through a heavily woode area along highway 109 in North Carolina. As I entered the Uwharrie National Forest area I felt something hit me pretty hard. I turned my radio to AM because spirit can come through and communicate with you using the radio waves and the energy from the car.

A voice said “go home” and “lost”. I asked it if it was lost and it said “journey”. I drove on through the area and it left me but as I drove back later it attached again and I guess it followed me home. It cannot enter my home because I pray nightly for any spirit to stay outside that may have attached to me. So it stood outside my window all night. In my dream I told it to go away and go to the light and ask God to help him. The spirit was a younger man in his 40’s and likely from the 1950’s or 1960’s based on his look, clothing and hair style. He did not give me the impression of being mean, he was just lost.

I went outside tonight to do something and felt him again so I had a conversation and told him to move on that he could not stay on the land here. We already have lots of spirit activity dating back several thousand years and do not need another one hanging around waiting on me to talk to it. As I write this story another is hitting me in the back of my neck trying to get my attention. It may be the same guy becasue I am sitting beside a window.

Spirit Chronicles: Too Scared to Speak

Featured

I saw a woman sitting in a chair and she sat there and pointed at the ceiling just staring at it and trying to say something. She was very frightened and could not speak to me but was trying. Whatver she saw was looking at her from the corner of the room and had her frozen in time just hanging her mouth open in terror. I looked in the corner and could not find anything other than a shadow or two. When I looked for them the shadow moved and the woman continued to point at them and hold her mouth open as if she wanted to either say something to me or warn me.

I asked her to speak and she just sat there scared. I tried to talk to her, sooth her and let her know that I could protect her from whatever it was. But she just sat there and stared at the ceiling and tried to speak to me. She was trying to tell me something but couldn’t. I turned again and ask whatever it was to face me and leave the old lady alone but it just kept moving around from corner to corner. It was a dark shadow and a bad being that had gotten influence over the poor old lady.

I prayed for her and told the shadow to move along and leave her alone. It continued to crawl around hiding and she continued to look at it in terror and point. I could never get it or the lady to talk to me and I soon woke up. The image of the old lady is still in my mind. She was dead and had lived through something horrible when she was alive. I prayed after waking up and advised the old lady to seek God and go to the light. I demanded that whatever that thing was go straight back to hell where it came from. I hope it helped the old lady haunted by the dark shadow spirit on the wall.

Spirit Chronicles: The Virus Encampment

Featured

I had a vision of people standing in a maasive lines like they were trying to get into a concert. Individuals, couples and families just standing there waiting in these very slow moving lines. The weather was really hot and people were struggling especially the older ones. Younger folks were moving in front of them and breaking on line. People were hot, sweaty and tired and it was making them mean. They were turing on one another, arguing over line position and fighting. The lines were about a half mile long and there were five of them. They all began at a large fence made of stone and concrete about 15 feet high with razor wire along the top. Military dressed soldiers were stationed at each entry point where the lines began and others patrolled the area and lines trying to keep the peace.

Some people failed to comply to the military orders when they were fighting or arguing and were pulled from the line and beaten or taken to an other location in the back of a military jeep. Many of the people in line were coughing and weak. They looked very sick and fragile as if they were infected with something. If they couhged or looked really sick they were tagged with a red label “infected” and put into an even longer line separated from whom ever they were with. If they failed to comply they were stricken down and taken away. Announcements were being made in various languages to remain calm, stay in line and report to a soldier if they were sick or infected.

Some saw the soliders taking people away and tried to run but a full rigimen of soliders were behind the lines holding people back and capturing them. A group of medical people were walking up and down the lines checking on people with a scanner of some sorts. They did not talk and would just nod to a solider if they wanted someone taken away. The scene was massive with hundreds of thousands of people waiting outside in the heat to get help. On the other side of the massive wall was a series of military tents numbering in the hundreds.

The area of the emcampment was about fifty acres in size and all of those tents were open air with thousands of beds lined up side by side. Most of the beds were occupied with people and they were lying still either giving blood, getting blood or getting a shot of some kind. At the back of the medical tents was a ten foot electric fence designed to keep people in it. Inside of that fence were people that were very sick, fragile and really looked like walking dead. Thousands of people were inside the fence with no security or medical staff just wondering around aimlessly like they did not know they were even there. I don’t think they were dead but appeared to be so sick that they had no idea of what they were doing.

Some had fallen down and were just lying on the ground and the others just trampled them or walked by. At the back side of this fenced in area about the size of five football fields there were cattle chutes like a farmer would run cattle into to board a truck or go into a pasture. There wer medical people and soliders at this chute and as the people would wonder in they would close the gate and push them into tractor traliers loaded with lots of infected and sick people. This area was where they sick were being taken from the lines outside the complex. This emcampment was designed to make those that had not taken a vaccination take it and get rid of the infected to slow the spread of a super virus that was attaking the wolrd and killing millions.

Behind that massive encmapment was an airport that had been setup as a control center and it housed leaders from all over the world. It was self contained and had buildings built that were designed to keep the virus outside and away from the elites of each country. Inside of this complex were the leaders of the largest countries in the world, their families and staff. Military were stationed by the thousands all around it guarding entry. Planes and helicopters were flying about patrolling the area as well. I saw a room inside the control tower and in that room was the designated leader of China, N Korea, Afganistan, Russia, Iraq and Iran. These countries had taken over the world and were ruling as a hard core one world rule.

America, Britian, France, Germany and others were no longer valid countries and had been consumed by the ruling party of the world. I saw them laughing, pointing and joking as they watched the world fall apart under their control and the virus that had been unleashed to dismantle all free countires of the world. I then saw a picture of the source of their ability to rule and destroy the world. They had used the internet, socila media, news agencies and other media to tell a story of deception, lies and propoganda designed to get people riled up about racism, freedoms, and social justice. The whole thing was a rouse to get people to self destruct as America did when the election happened.

I woke up sweating with a fast heart rate and wrote down what I had seen. I had this dream or vision and described it as I seen it happen. I am not saying this is to happen, but generally my dreams come to light at some point so we will see. Watch out for what information you are allowing to put into your head. It may be your downfall as you get programmed to be controlled and given the shot that you think may save you. In reality it may be the shot that gives them control and kills you.

Spirit Chronicles: Three Old Ladies

Featured

I saw three old ladies in my dream. One of them was sitting in a chair and the other two were standing over her and she was begging for food. One of them held food just outside of her mouth and when she opened up the lady pulled it away and laughed at her. The other lady held some gross looking food outside of the ladies mouth and when she tried to lick it to taste it she pulled it back and threw it on the ground. The lady being taunted looked at me and her eyes were very sad. You could see the sadness and emotion in her eyes and expression. She was a dead spirit and had been in a nursing home and the other ladies had been mean to her.

The ladies continued to taunt her with the food until she finally looked away and when she did they smashed it into her face and mouth forcing her to eat it. As she cried and wept uncontrollably the others laughed at her and were speaking in an unknown language. The lady in the chair opened her mouth and one of them tried to feed her and she bit down on the fingers of the lady holding the food and began to chew on them. The lady whose fingers were in the mouth of the chair lady just laughed as if it did not hurt her or bother her at all.

This went on for a while and I tried to tell the ladies to leave her alone so I stepped infront of the lady but the others were able to reach through me. I finally began to pray and said in God’s name leave her alone and when I did the others turned their glare to me and laughed. I repeated in “God’s name” leave us alone and the ladies screamed and turned away. That is when I knew they were demons and were there to torture the woman and were trying to get under my skin.

I held my ground and stood there quoting Bible verses and the more I did the madder they got and the farther away they went. Finally they left and the other lady in the chair sat there and started to smile. She was telling me thank you but could not speak. The plate of food was near the chair on a small table and she looked at it and opened her mouth. I knew she was hungry so I reached down and grabbed some food and put it to her lips. Then she opened her mouth and I woke up. I knew the old lady, but just could not figure out who she was or think of a name. I helped her and prayed for her that she move into the light and feast on God’s eternal light in heaven.

Spirit Chronicles: The Civil War Ghosts

Featured

Where I live is an old area where several Civil War camps and battles were once fought. There have been rumors and stories for many generations about people seeing Civil War era soldiers at grave yards, in the woods and on some old farms that were around back in the late 1800’s. I have seen videos online about Civil War ghost with some being quite impressive sightings and video. I had never encountered one in my Spirit Chronicles work and research until I had an experience at a graveyard locally. I was at the graveyard where many Civil War soldiers are buried and as I was doing some EMF and voice recordings I picked up a mans name that said “soldier”.

I asked him to give me his name and he said “dead soldier”. The area of the grave yard I was in has many soldiers buried there from the Civil War, WW1 and WW2 so I was not surprised to hear from a dead soldier. I walked around the grave yard and got a few more random words that I may not be able to attirbute to the same person and never got a name so I moved on and put the information in my research journal for later review. I also went back and listened to the voice and the first two seemed to be the same but the last few were random and made no sense.

Later that night I went to bed and that is when I mostly see, hear and feel spirit. I am a dreamer that sees visions, people, happenings and am generally more open during sleeping time. While I was asleep I saw a man dressed in Union war gear with a beard. He was short in stature maybe 5’6 and about 150 pounds. He had a scraggly beard and was holding his left leg and had a grimace on his face showing the intense pain he suffered. This showed me that he was injured in battle and it was bad enough to cost him his life. I also felt breathing issues and chest pressure which generally tells me that the person was struggling to breath when they passed.

Part of my gift other than sensing spirit, dreaming and visions is feeling the pain they had in life. I often get severe pain in my head, arms, limbs and heart area when I pass by a scene where someone died in an accident or may have been murdered. This can be overwhelming at times and painful so I have to block them often and push them away. It is likely residual spirit haunting an area or a spirit that just has not moved on. In this case the guy I saw was obviously dead and died during the war between the states. He came to me when I was asleep because I have yet to develop the ability to see spirit (except) when I am asleep.

I can see movement and shadows but have yet to see a full body apparition as of today. I talk to them in my sleep and told this man to go to the light and to seek God. I told him he was dead and asked my guardians and Angels for protection for myself and the dead soldier. Often people die from horrific instances and life altering accidents that leave them wandering as a spirit. They are not at rest and may not know they are actually dead. They wander until they find a person that can sense them and help them find the light. I am a light worker and have not seen the Civil War soldier anymore so I am hoping he moved on to the light and is now at rest.

Spirit Chronicles: Light Orbs

Featured

Last night I took the dogs out to the bathroom prior to bed time and was struck with the feeling of something or someone being all around me. Out property is very spiritual and some old land and as I noticed whoever was touching my head and arm I pulled my camera out to take a few pictures and videos. I walked around the yard and snapped some pictures and made a few short videos as the “spidy senses” I call them continued to accelerate. I saw a light orb close to me and then it came by my camera and I hoped that I caught it and to my surprise I did.

Actually it came in front of my camera four times during the period of about five minutes of video. You may say it was probably a bug or a trick of the light. I am quickly becoming a veteran spirit hunter and assumed it to be a bug myself. I sat down at the computer, downloaded the video and went through it frame by frame and there it was a light orb “white” light which tells me it was a positive spirit right there on film. I stopped it, edited it and made it larger and it was an obvious “light orb” and not a bug. It was fast and came and went within a few seconds.

An untrained eye would not have caught it but I have been doing this awhile so I was able to see it. At one point of the video I asked it to show itself because I could sense it around me. About five seconds after that request the white orb came into the view of the camera lens on my phone. It went across and back and then came up and down a little later. As I walked around the yard a few more orbs appeared in the video at different phases and were gone quickly. I will be out there tonight with the camera to see if I can catch it again to try and debunk the video I made yesterday.

I have caught voices on recorders, EMF detections and other video than last night. The land we live on is very spiritual and has lots of activity so I am excited about what I can see, hear and film in the future and trying to figure out who the light orb is and what it wants. I have to be careful as well, but my senses can help me be guided as to how to deal with and what I am dealing with. I was told by an advisor to look for orbs and they are finally showing up for me as I make the transition into working with the spirit realm.

Spirit Chronicles: Cleansing Waters

Featured

I dreamed I was at a river and in the middle was a man who was very powerful and wonderful. He motioned for me to come forward to him and when I began to go into the water the rushing river slowed to a crawl and I walked straight out to him. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close and looked at me with these amazing eyes and said “cleansing water”. He then pushed me backwards into the water and completely submerged me underneath it. I could breath and did not panic as if I was a fish.

https://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&p=11&l=ez&f=ifr&linkID=46f9607174bcce7b241db0c9e047499a&t=coachb71-20&tracking_id=coachb71-20

That night before going to bed I had taken a nice shower after working in the yard for about seven hours all day clearing bushes, mowing and weeding the property. I had a long day and was very tired. Our property is full of old spirits and all day I had spirit coming at me so I was physically and mentally exhausted. As I bathed I prayed for the water from the shower to heal me, cleanse me and make me whole. Water is very powerful and is part of nature so it can be cleansing to both the body, mind and soul. It is probably the healthiest thing you can have in life.

I went to bed and said my prayers for Gods grace, guidance and a goods nights sleep. I immediately knew that I was very open to spirit as I had been all day so I meditated a bit and settled in for a good nights sleep. Not long after falling asleep I had the dream of the man in the water cleansing me. I love water and I love God so it makes perfect sense that my guardians, angels and God were there to cleanse me. He put me under the water and made me whole. He took anything I had attached from that day away and gave me a clear path for today. I feel really good today other than being a bit tired from a hard days work in 96 degree weather.

One of my favorite old songs is by the Gaither Vocal Group that says “step into the water, wade out a little bit deeper” and that is what I did. In life we must be willing to ask for healing, cleansing and renewal at times. We must seek God and pray for his grace and mercy in life. I saw God and stepped into the water and he made a path for me to cleanse and renew for another great day today. If you need cleansing go find a rushing river, stream, creek or waterfall. Stand in it and wash yourself clean. God gave us water for life and living just as he gave us Jesus as the water of life.

Isiah 12:3; With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Ezekiel 36:25; I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

Spirit Chronicles: Attack of the Light Beings

Featured

An invasion of aliens came in on the earth really fast.  These light beings flew in on these invisible stealthy ships and landed.  As they came in only certain people could see them and try to warn others.  They were seven to eight feet tall and kind of looked like a shadowy figure with light coming from them.  We were at a football game and when it ended the clouds came over really heavy and made seeing the sun almost blacked out.  In those clouds were these ships that were blended into the clouds.  Cell service was interrupted because I tried to take a picture of the ships when I told people about them they couldn’t see them.  I pointed my camera towards the clouds to snap a photo or record and it began to show a fuzzy screen.

I tried to get it to work and borrowed another phone and it did the same thing.  Outside the fence of the football stadium there were these light beings beginning to walk towards the field and the fence.  I could see them and when I panicked the others around me knew something was wrong.  Then another woman screamed and began to run because she saw them marching in a side by side pattern towards the stadium.  Everyone in the stadium was stuck with nowhere to go so I ran to the fence to try and lock the gate so they could not get inside.  They pushed through the fence and past me and did not touch me or look at me.  They continued to walk across the stadium clearing it one by one.  One by one the people were taken and loaded into these floating bubbles that would quickly take flight and be absorbed into the main ship floating over the stadium.

The main ship was about the size of an aircraft carrier three to four hundred feet long and there were several of them visible.  The local military base sent its war aircraft to check the scene and a battle began.  Our aircraft had no chance against the alien invaders and one by one they were eliminated by these round shaped ships that came flowing out of the main ship  by the thousands.  They were like little five feet round objects that moved at light speed and had a very powerful light beam or laser that destroyed anything they shot.  All of our planes were destroyed and then these small air bubble ships began to shoot at the people that were running.  I looked at my phone and a screen had popped on like a video game screen that showed the ships and their location.  

I am a terrible video game player and I had taken refuge inside a small building to hide and watch the carnage.  I began to mash buttons and realized that I had somehow gained access to the main ship and could destroy the small ones by shooting them with the video game screen.  That is when they began to attack me so I ran as fast as I could and hid behind the bleachers.  The stadium was older and the concrete seemed to block their ships radar and they could not see me or find me.  I weaved my way in and out of the concrete sections hiding and shooting them down.  A teenager then joined me and he was panicking.  I asked him if he was good at video games and he said yes.  I gave him my phone and told him to destroy these things.

As he fought alongside me I began to attack and fight the individual beings and realized that they could not breathe our air so I used whatever I could to bust a hole in their helmets and when I did they would evaporate like a human would in space.  I picked up one of the guns they were using and could not get it to fire so I attacked one of the beings and killed him.  I took his bio suit and out it on and then I was able to fire the weapon.  The weapon was somehow a biological weapon and was attached as part of the bio suit.  Others joined me and the battle moved into the small neighborhoods in town.  People were fighting with guns, knives and whatever they could but most died in the process.  

A group gathered in a building hidden in the woods and planned how to survive and began to fight back.  We gathered food, water and weapons to survive with and I woke up.  This dream was like living in a real science fiction novel or movie.  It was as real as sitting here and typing the story about it.  I can still see the image of the beings walking towards the stadium and beginning to take people away.  I can still hear the gunfire, the planes, the lasers and all the activity that happened in this dream.  It was very disturbing and is similar to a series of dreams I have had about apocalyptic type things like this.

Spirit Chronicles: Darkness Fell on the Land

Featured

I had a dream about the darkness rising in America and the fall of America as the greatest country in the world.  Big cities have begun to plunge into turmoil due to anarchy and lost ethics and morals. This is also spreading into the suburbs and small towns across the country.  I saw people in suits surrounded by $$ signs (big tech) helping to spread the ideals of darkness on people.  I saw sin in the form of a beautiful woman that turned into a demon as a symbol of the sinful nature of mankind and how the desires of flesh and sin have become normal and acceptable. 

I saw men and women of power with black eyes representing darkness as Government leaders are not of the light. These people were deceptive leaders full of deep rooted darkness led by a desire for power, greed, money and control over all aspects of citizens.  I saw darkness fall upon the land sending it into a modern day fight for the survival of the country.  But this one is fought using social media, news outlets, the internet and other web based activity that Americans have become addicted to. 

I saw young people with blinds on representing the mind sweep that is going on with social media and the lack of respect being taught to them by parents. A new generation of kids that cannot think for themselves was being formed and will be used as part of the great deception that will continue to occur. Social media shows it and they believe it. I saw a virus released on mankind represented by a viral bug and a man standing there with a lab coat with dark eyes. He was part of the release of some type of global virus yet to come.

I saw free signs and people then fighting, rioting and hurting others when all the free ran low or was no longer available. I saw homeless people, streets on fire and drugs representing part of the demise of America. The plans for social change and social control fail and the country becomes chaotic.  I saw a huge light at the end and people going towards it. That represented the people that turned away from the darkness that fell on America and were still faithful and true to God and his word. I saw an Angel, the US Flag and a Family standing near each other. These represented the union of good and the light force that will eventually win the battle over darkness. God, Country and Family for life!
