I was pregnant with my third child. My oldest daughter was living with her boyfriend my second child was away for the night only myself an my boyfriend was at home when around 1 am I woke to the sounds of very loud banging and thumping as if someone was jumping off my daughters bed onto the floor but not like you would hear a child playing jumping from their bed to the floor, this was heavy.
I woke my boyfriend. He was half asleep and said to me that's just Lisa. I told him remember she is not home. He jumped out of bed and I followed. The noise was so loud, so demanding like. As we reached to open the bedroom door the thumping stopped. We enter, nothing, completely nothing.
Just as my boyfriend went to close the door it started straight up again. He flung the door open, it stopped but the room was feeling colder. I started to freak. I got my bible and as we walked through the room I said demanding that whatever was here was to leave. Then we walked out and closed the door.
Again the thumping began to go off. My boyfriend, a very sensible practical guy, looked at me and said, "look whatever it is it can't seem to come out of the room so just don't panic, it will stop."
I sat up all night listening to that sound, it scared me. It finally did stop just as the sun was coming up. It never happened again.
This is a true story through out my family from my grandmother there has been many unexplained things that has happen within our family but I seem to have gotten a bigger dose of it then some of my cousins or brothers and sisters. I have experienced things since I was five years old.

My Parents Haunted House In Santa Cruz
Well my parents were just about to buy a house in Santa Cruz CA and they found out that on the joining wall that there was a murderer and the husband and wife were getting in a divorce and the husband shot the wife then his daughter then himself.
WELL oddly my parents bought it! and years into buying it weird stuff started happening. The TV would always change channels and land on a kids channel. Then they had this old clock full of mercury and it ran on batteries and one day my parents took the batteries out but it ended up ticking. We still have that clock it doesn't do that anymore.
My parents also had a waterbed and my dad was home by himself when he was about to fall asleep when it felt like someone pushed the waterbed down and he bounced up.
A housekeeper was taking a nap when she woke up to see a dark figure standing over her. She immediately got her stuff and left.
My mom was home alone when she was sitting on the can (toilet) when a man screamed in her ear she said go away.
Nothing ever happened again but I saved the scariest thing that happened in that house for last. My dad had a collection of antique steak knifes that his mom gave him hanging over the door and once she opened the door one fell right in front of her it didn't hit her thank goodness.
After hearing my parents tell these experiences I will never buy a house were a murder happened.

Drone Images
Viewing Nova's "Rise of the Drones" perked my interest and caused me to do a little extended research.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones come in various shapes and sizes. Although generally controlled by someone on the ground, they can also be operated by on board computers.
The Robobee
The Robobee weighing less than a tenth of a gram and half the size of a paper clip - was designed to help with the declining bee population. These robot bees would be capable of flower pollination, climate mapping, traffic monitoring and surveillance.
 |
| The Robobee |
The Dragonfly DelFly
(another very small drone) has a vision system consisting of a tiny computer and two cameras. The computer processes the images from those cameras in much the same way humans do, essentially giving it 3D vision. Intended uses include everything from detecting ripe fruit in greenhouses, mapping abandoned buildings to masquerading as fairies at a theme park.

The Predator
The most recognizable and combat-proven Unmanned Aircraft System is the Predator. It is the first weaponized UAS, features precision air-to-ground weapons delivery capability and is extremely reliable. Its performance is greatly enhanced by its Electro-optical/Infrared video cameras. However, those cameras have a limited field of view and details of key objects can be lost when objects get out of range. |

The Argus-IS
The Argus-IS (Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System) moves several steps forward. Its highly defined camera - developed by combining 368 imagining chips (like those in a cell phone camera) - results in a 1.8 billion pixel image stream. It can be attached to the belly of an UAV like the Predator resulting in an incredibly detailed view of a large area such as a medium size city. From 17,500 feet up (roughly equal to 3-½ miles), objects as small as 6″ can be seen. On display, it is possible to open a window showing a detailed area while still maintaining the broader context.Scientists will continue to develop highly refined cameras that can see smaller objects from longer distances with clarity. Regardless of one's opinion of the desirability of this kind of surveillance, it is here and will inevitably be used for good and for bad.
I try to remember that what I see is just part of the picture. There is a broader context to my life and yours. God sees everything - big and small. We are never out of range. His perspective is unique. At the same time, He knows every detail and the whole story - the beginning and the end. His purposes are pure and good. I'm grateful He is in control.
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to who we must give account" (Heb. 4:13, NIV).
Rise of The Drones
Drones. These unmanned flying robots–some as large as jumbo jets, others as small as birds–do things straight out of science fiction. Much of what it takes to get these robotic airplanes to fly, sense, and kill has remained secret. But now, with rare access to drone engineers and those who fly them for the U.S. military, NOVA reveals the amazing technologies that make drones so powerful as we see how a remotely-piloted drone strike looks and feels from inside the command center. From cameras that can capture every detail of an entire city at a glance to swarming robots that can make decisions on their own to giant air frames that can stay aloft for days on end, drones are changing our relationship to war, surveillance, and each other. And it's just the beginning. Discover the cutting edge technologies that are propelling us toward a new chapter in aviation history as NOVA gets ready for "Rise of the Drones."

They Came Back From My Childhood
When I was a child I had a Best Friend of the name September a.k.a. Autumn. I was Born in Oct. so we made her name September since her real name was Autumn. At the time I was around 6 or 7 years old and we would go sit on the fence, play in the tree's, talk a lot, go out and play in the back yard but one thing I do know is she always had on a Nighty (white) and she told me she was sick.
I would go to a house down the street and she was always there but nobody else was. It was empty! She said she was waiting for her family to move in, I didn't think anything of it as we would play down stairs in her empty room. I saw her, heard her, touched her, she was my best friend!
Looking back I know she was a ghost as my mother told me that the family down the street had a daughter that passed away and that the house was for sale. That would explain why it was empty. At that time I would go across the street where there were old grave's and there was this lady standing yet she had no shoes on and her feet not touching land, she then sat down with me and I asked her why she was there. She then told me how much she missed her husband. She had on a long grieving dress with a veil (She was waiting for him or something as I saw her Wait! We talked then she walked back to the tree's then to the wood's without shoes on. She was waiting for him or she couldn't let go of his death.
Then there was a man in an army coat he had blood on it and told me he had gotten shot down in his plane. He told me not to be afraid of him but I kinda was. I ran down to tell my dad we ran back and the man was gone and so was the blood that fell to the floor. He was in the war and I did feel bad for him.
My father believed me and told me that I was special and that things I cant figure out were just un-answerd problems (telling me it's Okay).
As a child my sister and I saw a spirit of a man with a dear head at our bed's but did not talk about it till we were grown up. We now know it was a guide. I had a Near Death Experience about 3 month's ago saw my father then woke in the hospital and ever since I have heard and felt them once again. They call my name, I hear a child say things, lots of sounds. I am not alone but I'm not in fear as I think they are guiding me to my right path! So it will be! So might it be by Father God the Father of Mother Earth Amen!

Ghost Hunting at The Manor House Hotel
Ghost Hunting at The Manor House Hotel, West Auckland, County Durham, with Simply Ghost Nights - 6th May 2011
As the team enjoyed the delights of this 3* hotel prior to the nights paranormal activity commencing, none of us could anticipate what would happen when the spirit world would come out to play later that evening. The Manor House Hotel is truly a quintessential old hall, with a chequered history to say the least, with numerous sightings of figures dressed in clothing from a time long gone, monks are said to haunt the hotel and spectral children are also seen on a regular basis by staff and hotel guests a like.
The team had experienced numerous paranormal events on our previous visit to this location and were so excited to return. After a brief chat with our ghost hunters, we attempted spirit communication in a group vigil in the Knights hall. First time ghost hunter Michael was literally shaking in his boots as we called out for any sign of spirit activity, Michael screamed as he first heard one significant tap and then two more louder taps on the table. After some K2 spikes Shelly exclaimed that she could see the fleeting footwork of some ghostly shadows in the corner of the room, Michael now stated that he would sit in the corner where the shadow movement had now been seen by more ghost hunters. Michael gamely took his seat and sat where the shadows had been seen, after a few minutes Michael screamed again, as he swore something had grabbed his neck, he ran quickly to the group swearing that he would not return to the corner by himself.
As Stuart and Jan walked in the knights room, they heard the noticeable sound of footsteps behind them on the wooden dance floor, as they spun around in unison half expecting someone to be behind them, they realised no one was there they were alone in the room by themselves, and however they tried to recreate the footsteps they could not. Were these the footsteps of the lady who haunts the Knights hall, or the spirit of some former Knight , we then attempted a table tipping experiment where eventually tipped so alarmingly that Sarah stood in disbelief as she stared at the table.
We then moved onto the Eden room where the activity was less intense, but we were stunned when the majority of the group saw what resembled a bolt of light just around the table, this shocked all those that were fortunate to see this. However we were amazed when the glass divination experiment brought forward a woman from the other side, who only communicated briefly with our courageous ghost hunters. As we broke for a drink and a lavish buffet our ghost hunters exchanged their experiences of the night so far, we then moved onto the dining area where we experienced some strange scratching and tapping that we could not account for, or explain, as Rosey always states, “once you can explain the unexplainable then it all becomes boring.”
Another vigil in the Eden room reported some aggressive table tipping and in the Knights room another vigil witnessed a burst of light phenomena inside the Knights room, about eight feet away from them, this episode delighted and staggered the group that saw it.As the night drew to a close we all said our goodbyes to our intrepid ghost hunters and to the spirit world too, we agreed that The Manor House Hotel was abound with paranormal activity and it had been well worth the journey. However our thoughts turned to our next ghost hunting event the following night at Newcastle Keep, and who or what awaited us there.
