The Paranormal Journal

by Christopher S. Fleming

The following is a journal I hope to keep up of my experiences with the paranormal and the supernatural. These are all true actual events, thoughts, dreams, and happenings.

NOVEMBER 16, 1998

Monday night- I had noticed that the black Crystal Glass had moved again. the same one with no sliding motion. There was dust in a perfect circle. It looked as if the glass had been picked up and placed around 3 inches away. This happened around three times before.

Nov 17th, 1998

While at work I heard someone behind me say "Hey", I turned around and no one was there.

April 1st. Thursday, 1999

I just got into work and realized I had some messages. I was trying to figure out who to call first when in my head poped the idea that Jen, my girlfriend, was real upset and crying. I looked over to the phone and had a feeling she was going to call. within a few seconds the phone rang. I stared at it and picked it up. It was her and she was crying. I spoke with her and realized what had just happened.

April 5, 1999

Today I spoke to KT. She told me the following I must pay my auto insurance because it is due . She was right, it is due in two days. She also said I must pay it...something might happen to my car. Also said I would move in three weeks. I would find a place to good to pass up and would move out quickly. Would be not that far away. Few blocks??

Shoes, don't forget my shoes. Sneakers, kick arounds. I would forget them.

Some girl named "Christine" is present, I will get to know her or she is around sometime later.

July 8, 1999

I told some people at work today during a conversation that on Sept. 9th, of this year, something would happen that would affect us all. Not sure what , maybe worldwide.

September 2, 1999

Today I was talking with someone at work. And as i stood there, I wondered when our office would be shut down or even if it would. I asked myself. Will it be in december? Nothing, November??? Nothing, October??? I got a slight chill... Hmm, I decided to test it further, how about, "Will the office shut down in september? I got major chills down my back and arms. Huh, I said to myself. Geez, that's next month. well, I thought, That seems to early i don't think it will happen, probably the end of the month. then I better start working on my resume. A few minutes later I realized it was september already. the 2nd. I felt well i'll probably be wrong. we'll just have to wait and see.

September 9, 1999

...our office shut down today. we were called in a meeting and told that it didn't work and they were sorry. I couldn't believe it, I knew it was going to happen but not this soon. I thought back to last week and then it hit me later in the day. I told one of the guys I work with, Reno that watch for september 9th, 1999 it's a day that might effect us all. Now I was thinking on a global scale or media wise, not job wise. How wrong I was. I told him and he said, "I know, I thought about it today when it happened".... "don't remind me!".. I told him I was sorry and didn't know it would effect us. I wish I would have paid more attention to myself.

September 21. 1999

As I left from a job interview, I was feeling bummed because I didn't know what to do. I felt like I hate my life and that i don't like the decisions I have to make. I said a prayer asking god a question like is this what I'm supposed to be doing. i need a sign if doing my magazine and having this time off is supposed to be??? All of a sudden I had the feeling to look up, which I did. and what I saw at first startled me. like "huh" no way! I saw a very detailed and defined face of a man that looked just like jesus just with more of a beard. It was a perfect suclpted feature -enitre head and it was looking at me in a 3/4 facing pose. It lasted a few seconds and when I looked up again it started to disspear. I questioned, okay was this just my imagination. I looked around to see if I could see any ohter shaopes or forms. I saw one think but it wasn't as well defined. I don't know if this was a sign or not, but it sure looked pretty real and defined. I guess with all the things AI have seen in my life, I need something a little more dramatic or on a larger scale to make me take notice.

October 31, 1999

Today we did a Ghost Investigation at Red lions Pub in Chicago. I went with the Ghost Hunters Society and WMIX was promoting this. Jorianne the Coffee psychic was a lso present to do a real life seance.

I was skeptical on wether or not this place was actually haunted. I was quickly shown the opposite. As I set up the camera and turned it on to test , it shut off by itself and I felt a chill. This may not have been a significant thing but what happened later was pretty cool.

We had set up on the second floor. On this level their was a bar an upper room (were we where). I decided to walk over to the bar and ask the bartenders if they had experienced anything supernatural at this establishment. Suprisingly the one bartender, Mark. was telling me about 3 months ago he was working the bar and heard some screaming coming from the ladys bathroom. He walked over and noticed a lot of pounding on the door and a women screaming to let her out of the bathroom. she was locked in and hysterical. He tried to open the door and couldn't. her called the manager up who couldn't pry the door open either. they called the fired department and when they arrived to open the door. They reached for the handle and turned it. It opened with no problem and amazingly there was nothing or noone there. As he told me this I was like wow! I heard someone call my name (in a womens voice) I leaned over to the right and noticed I was facing the bathroom. As I leaned over a cold spot passed by wme like a fresh blast of cool air. I felt chills run down my spine. My sixth sense went off like crazy. I believed this entity he was describing was making itself known to me at the present time. I called mike over, he finally came over and at this time it was gone.

Later I called over Johnathen and took him into the womens bathroom that was the lcoation of many of these stories. I opend the closet and stuck my hand in there. I flet a surge of energy or like an energy field. It felt like ants crawling all over my arm. My hairs began to stand up on end. I quickly pulled out my hand. I put it back and it was gone. I felt that it may have left or brushed past me. We turned around and tried to follow it. I reached out and felt it in front of me now. it moved around and then dissapeared.

Later we did a seance. At my time to ask a question I asked to speak to my grandma. She was described by the psychic pretty accuratly as a women who like peppermint candy and was a very direct individual. A very busy women who was still busy. she told me I need to go on the trip to Florida. which suprisningly I am going on next week to Tampa, FL for a UFO Convention. She also said I should go to Europe to Stone Henge. I believed it was actually true. My mom used to tell me while growing up that I should go to Stone Henge. I hope to make that trip next year.

November 1st

As I lied in bed today, until 3pm. I had a feeling over me that something was in the news and would be filling the channels with coverage. I felt maybe it was a natural disaster or something had happened to someone significant. when I finally got up. I turned on the TV and listened as channel 7 spoke about Chicago Football great Walter Payton. He had passed away that morning. the entire day the TV was filled with information and interviews with people about Walter. In Chicago this was a very big deal. He was actually my favorite football player. A role model to me in college when I played running back at Beloit College. I Was saddened.

NOVEMBER 2nd

Tonight I went to Bachelors Grove with a group of guys from 100.7 the BUS FM in Joliet. They wanted to check out the Grove for themselves. I arrivead a bout 9:45 and Bob madia, My assit. editor arrived shortly thereafter. We walked down the path towards the Grove and soon realized they had cleared the path and moved a lot of things. The Cemetray was blocked off with a fence, however the fence was peeled back in certain areas to let us in.

As Bob spoke about the history of the place, I walked around to see if I could feel anything. Right a way there were cold spots and soon I could sense there was many spirits present.

We whipped out the Ouija board and tried to communicate. unfortuntaly it wasn't trhat effective. It spelled out a few letters and that was it. However, I could feel the spirits getting close and sitting right besides me. I felt two hands being placed on my hands as we gently rested our hands on the planchette. Sean the guy from the radio across from me, felt it also. I tried to move the planchette my self over the letters a, b ,c ,d, e, f, g, h, i...when I got to J, it would not move. I tried to push and it would not move! I felt a force holding me back from moving it. I decided to stop, I was growing impatient.

Some othere guys took over and I walked around a bit and took pictures. these things kept moving around. As we left one guy freaked out that while he was walking down the path something grabbed his flashlight and threw it behind him. As we walked out I could sense the spirits following us and even touching us as we left.

We stopped off at a Diner to grab some grub and listen to the tape. As we listened I noticed Bob was acting weird. i questioned him and he told me that he was freaked out. Something touched his face while he was standing in the cemetary. He couldn't believe it. He had never had that happen before.

It seemed that a lot of things happened to some people there, mostly those who where skeptical at first. I listened as some guys were conversing on , "I didn't do that!" Something else did!

I have yet to listen to the whole tape.

December 18th

Later in the evening my buddyChuck dragged me over to this girls house after a party at a friend of mines. Her and her 2 friends were actually trying to get some sleep and watching tv. while watching tv we weretalking about ghosts. Chuck then felt a presence of a ghost and it passed through him. I later felt a presence also over me and pass by me. Weird, but cool that he felt it too!

December 19th

While at Linen and Things I felt a presence of a ghost. I walked past an aisle and felt someone press/push me on my left side slightly above the waist. It was a slow hard press in my side. I turned around thinking someone behind me did it or I walked into something unknowingly.

I turned and no one was there. I walked away with a "huh" in my mind. I later walked back and felt energy level in my 6th sense telling me there is something there. Never expected to feel this in a store.

December 22

Last night i had a lot of dreams of aliens and UFOs. I saw around 4-5 UFOs in my dreams all different. Very tired today and feel sick, cold, sinus. Weird night.

I didn't keep a journal the last few months, but will do my best to continue.

May 2000 and on!

I been having a lot of dreams about Tornados and high winds. I believe this will be the worst year for this ever. I think Illinois will be hit with a big one too. I hope not, but I have a weird feeling. Maybe even a bad earthquake too in the US or Russia!

May 29, 2000

Monday night-I had a bad dream last night that a special loan I had been working on did't get approved. I was stressed about it. I also had another dream that a loan I sent out, the people decided to not do it even though I was going to save them over $350 dollars a month. Both of these came true on Tuesday at work.

June 2,2000

At work today I was doing an application and as I got to the section of age, before I even asked the guy over the phone his age, my inner voice said to me "he is the same age as you! 33!!" I paused then asked him and almost wanted to say it beofre he did, "What is your age?" He responded, 33! "Same age as me I responded!"

I was finishing some files and peaked at the one underneath it. I had to call this guy to do his loan. I said, "it would be perfect timing if he called right when I got to it" A few minutes later as I laid it out on my desk. I extended my arms and said, actually out loud, "Perfect Timing!" Right then, and I mean right then the phone rang and I picked it up, Hello Chris?. I smiled, Leon! Perfect timing, and explained to him that I was just gonna call him and had his file ready this very second.

Neat, huh! Coincidences or intuition??
