The Terified Child

by Bud Phillips
(Altoona, PA)

Around age 4 I awoke to a black figure with red eyes. I screamed and ran to my moms room and swore to never go in my bedroom again. I was also pushed down the steps and broke my ankle. Another time I was pushed out of bed and broke my collar bone. I was scared to go upstairs alone there after since then I've seen and felt ghosts.

I worked at the railroad museum in Altoona for months and it was haunted but not in a bad way and mild. I also worked at the First Lutheran Church in Altoona . The things I saw and felt there where much stronger. The church was built in the early 1800's before embombing. They kept the dead in the basement. I explored all areas of the church spending hours in each room.

I saw many unexplained incidences happen to me. They say a pastor was also seen by other long term workers. I would hear a mans voice when I was the only person there but only in one area right up from the basement. There was tales of people freezing to death and kept down there.

When i was a child my mother was told I was clairvoyant. Now 42 I'm understanding the phenonomom and what I see and why I see it. I still have the terrified child fear but learning to use it as a gift and knowing now I'm not a nut case.
