WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN


My son Robert called last night. We were telling him about the upcoming radio
interview with Gabreael on her A Glimpse Through The Veil radio program November
8th at 9:00 p.m. eastern. Corda told him about the buzzing in her ears she awoke
to yesterday, and grandmas' clock which had decided to run without being wound.
To tell the whole story, the clock, after Corda’s parents house had been closed
up for 3 years, decided to chime when Corda walked into the room the clock was
in, in their Florida house, before bringing it here to Michigan. "About that
house," Robert drawled, " I tole ya so, I tole ya so, I tole ya so. When we stay
there I won’t sleep in David’s room, ‘cause I keep floating up from sleeping on
the couch and floating into the hallway where something tries to pull me into
Dave’s room, but I won't let it take me and I float back to the couch. It
happens a couple times a night when we’re there". Dave, when he’s home on leave
from the Navy, doesn’t sleep in his room. He says that he wakes up pinned
against the wall. Our granddaughter, it’s her room now, sleeps very well but
sleeps up tight against the wall that Dave use to find himself pinned against.
And a few times a night she bangs hard on the wall. When Corda saw the 6 foot
shadow come from the hallway to the bedrooms and bath, walk into the livingroom,
stop, turn and look at her on the couch, then walk into the furnace, we called
Gabreael. Gabreael told us that she thought Corda was either attracting the
spirits or manifesting them, possibly due to the stress she was suffering from.
And it’s only November, the veil is just begun to thin. It’s going to be an
interesting winter, I think

CLOCK UPDATE



When I posted ALL HALLOWS EVE I assumed that Corda had wound the clock. It was
still ticking away, by gar! It is now 10:30 p.m. Wednesday November 1st. The
clock continues to chime at random half hour intervals, and is keeping perfect
time, something it had a hard time doing when we use to wind it! By the way, she
did not wind the clock, nor has anyone else here. Anyone alive anyway!

ALL HALLOWS EVE


"‘cause it just hasn’t gotten weird enough for me yet", Hunter Thompson.
The veil must certainly be thin, we’re in between moon phases that are conducive
to spiritual encounters, the geomagnetic field is quiet, yet Corda woke up to
voices moving at breakneck speed at 5:19 a.m. yesterday. Like Alvin and the
chipmunks played at 78 r.p.m. might be a good way to describe the sound. I heard
them the night I said goodbye to the Harsens Island Haunted House. We had sold
the place and I went to ask the spirits there if there was anything they wanted
to say to me, since I wouldn’t be coming back. It was daytime. I had been
visiting late at night to take pictures the past few months. I’d leave my job at
the club, drive to Sans Souci, enter the house in the dark, go up the stairs,
open the attic door and sit down on the bed with my camera and wait to get
creeped out. I began praying before I pulled into the driveway. Prayer had been
the only weapon I had that worked against the house. When I felt totally creeped
out, I’d take a few pix. Now it was broad daylight, I felt the house’ gaze upon
me blocks before getting there. Up to my usual spot outside the attic, I sat
down and asked, "do you have anything that you want to say to me, I’ve sold the
house and won’t be back again." My ears picked up a faint buzz that sounded like
a mosquito near my ear. The buzzing grew louder, like a fly, a bee, a bumble
bee, then it was inside my head. I began to pray out loud in earnest. The voices
were unrelenting though, louder and louder the buzzing in my head got until I
could feel the pressure building inside my head. I began to wonder if there was
any chance of doing damage to myself and decided to leave before finding out. I
started to bolt for the door but thought better of it and walked calmly to the
door, the crescendo still building in my ears. Once in the van I got scared, the
pressure and noise was continuing to build, I started my vehicle and put the van
in reverse. I couldn’t drive in this condition so I looked around the van to see
what had accompanied me from the attic, there was nothing I could see. I eased
the van back into park but stopped short of shutting the engine off. After about
5 minutes the ringing began to subside. I left the Harsens Island Haunted House
for the last time. That was my experience, Corda was woken up twice with a
buzzing in her ears. Later the same day, I was watching Most Haunted Live around
midnight when the grandmother clock on the buffet began to chime, the clock read
4:30. I wondered why Corda had wound the clock and not set the time. The clock
hasn’t been wound in 5 months. At 1:30 I went to bed. There were sounds all over
the house, sounds like someone walking on the roof, creaking from every corner
of the house and at 2:30, I was still awake. Corda got up and I said to her "is
that you? There sure are a bunch of noises in the house tonight", "of course
it’s me" she replied and as she laid back down the clock began to gong, 10 times
it gonged. When we got up this morning it was still working, the pendulum
swinging to and fro, the clock, as yet still unwound. We talked about the events
during the night and she set the clock, it read 3:30 when we got up, which made
no sense, at least to the living, and it’s keeping perfect time. The clock is
very old, made in Germany and belonged to Cordas’ spinster aunts, who probably
got it from Cordas’ grandmother.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN


I am here to tell you that the radio broadcast, "Haunted Voices" with guest
Gabreael last night was the most fun I have ever experienced on-line. In the
radio shows chat room listeners were able to direct questions to host Todd
Bates. He also took phone calls, one which earned listener Darla, instant star
status. Starla? Gabreael shined in the guest position handling all the
demonology questions professionally, drawing on her extensive knowledge base.
Host Todd was amazed, as was I, when the hour came to an end. Time really flew
by, and it was such a great show, that he kept the call-in open and Gabreael
answered questions in the chat room. And I’m pretty sure it was Gabreael that
started the whole sign-in with a Halloween name thing, which was hilarious. The
guest list grew to so many that it locked up the chat room bringing an end to
what was truly a fun night of radio. I highly recommend Todds’ show Haunted
Voices, which has a special all night Halloween broadcast beginning at 8:00
eastern. www.hauntedvoices.com

MEDIUMS


A medium that visited the house while we were auctioning a ‘night in a haunted
house’ on Ebay said that one of the spirits she contacted was the builder of the
house and he had died waiting for his family to come from the old country. He
had a very strong attachment to this house, a lot of pride in the home he had
built for his family. Another entity that mediums contacted was an old sea
captain, and yet another said that a man who lived there near the turn of the
century killed at least 1 woman in the house and possibly more. The only
consensus among the paranormal investigators that contacted spirits in the
house, was the child. One medium said the childs’ name was Timmy and he had been
run over by a car driven by his uncle. There was a voice that only said "it
hurts", and a woman that did not live there but visited and mabey worked in the
house. The E.V.P.s captured include, "pump room" a small room under the stairs,
"I’m gonna do it every chance I get", recorded while a medium was scratched from
neck to tailbone, "turn the damn camera off" cackled by a truly evil voice, and
"I love bein’ in cars, eh"from an apparent Canadian ghost. Tana Hoy a well known
spiritualist from Columbus Ohio, captured an arm coming through the attic door
grabbing at a lady in his group. 2 mediums, one from Ohio and 1 from Canada told
me on the phone that they would not come to Harsens Island. Why? It’s not a
"good" area. It is a good area, crimewise. And safety had never been an issue. I
think they were referring to the number of spirits that are here, or to the
area, physically. The island has fast moving water surrounding it and a
limestone layer that carries an electrical charge due to the waters movement. I
believe that the island has a number of Ley Lines. Intersections of Ley lines
especially near water have been reported to be areas that are prone to
disturbances, and, or, are portals. . It lies on an ancient trail used by
Indians for 10,000 years.

ORBS VIA ISLANDBOB


A new site dedicated to ORBS is up and running at
http://islandbobsorbs.blogspot.com/

HAUNTING MEMORIES


Robert came down the stairs in a hurry. " Ma, can I change rooms?" Even I took
notice this time, he had asked the same question before. "You’re not wearing
that to school," said ma. " Dad, can I switch rooms with David?" " Eat your
breakfast, did you get your homework done," I avoided the question. Dave had
sanded mud in the upstairs bedroom at the end of the stairs for weeks. I’m not
much of a mudder, there may be those who’d disagree with that but when it comes
to muddin’ drywall I suck. It is the largest bedroom in the house with beveled
ceilings on 2 sides, a window on the west end, and walk-in closets on either
side of the stairway landing. All of it drywall but the window and the built-in
dressers on the south side of the room. Dave had asked if he could have that
room and I saw it as a way to get out of a ton of sanding. "Sure Dave, you help
finish it up and the room is yours". I never figured he’d actually do it. Both
his older brothers made themselves scarcer than hens’ teeth when I was lookin’
for help around the house, but Dave still liked helping dad. To be fair, both
his brothers had more years of helping dad. There were always projects going on
in and out of the house. And there was the woodstove. A fire belching bottomless
pit that had to be fed constantly through the long island winters. All 3 of the
boys had to bring in wood twice a day, and they hated it. Can’t really blame
them. They do blame me for buying a house with a furnace and a thermostat as
soon as they moved out on their own though. The musical chairs/rooms music had
stopped again. Terry never complained about his room on the east end of the 2nd
floor. Well, he complained about the drafts, but that was the reason for the
drywall job. Sealing up all the leaks in the house was a constant. When you live
on an island the wind blows like most folk can only imagine. It drove many a
pioneer crazy, but that was before cable. Amy wouldn’t sleep in the west end 1st
floor bedroom. From the day we brought her home from the hospital, the only way
she’d sleep in that room was if we let her fall asleep then put her into her
crib. Renegade, our dog wouldn’t go in that room unless we took Amy in, then
he’d stay at the side of her crib ‘till she woke and one of us came and got her.
"Robert, why do you want to change rooms with David," I blurted out, my mind
lost in the discussions’ planning stages, ready to tell Bobby that Dave had
worked his butt off to get that room, and he hadn’t. "All my stuff is folded up
under the bed again." When he said that we all looked up at Robert. He was in
his pajamas, trembling.

Roberts’ room. We may as well call it that now. It had been Terrys’ since we had
bought the place in the 70's. Terry had moved out and Robert took his room.
Robert had been sharing the large room upstairs with David for a few years and
wanted his own room. It was about this time that we started to notice strange
things happening in the house. It also coincides with the time that the boys
began using a Ouija board. The yell up the stairs, "what are you boys doing up
there?" was more of a threat of dad coming upstairs than an actual question, but
dad should’ve paid attention to the answer. In retrospect, "playing with the
Ouija board" seemed an innocuous enough pastime for teenage boys, talk about
naive. I learned much later at a reading by world renown psychic medium
Gabreael, that the boys had opened a door to a shadowperson, a dark spirit that
was drawn to a generational curse the men in my family have endured for, well,
generations.
We first noticed the shadow that crossed the kitchen from the couch in the
livingroom. We’d be watching t.v., the footsteps coming down the stairs would
draw our eyes to the stair landing to see which kid was up this time. As your
coming down the stairs there is a door to your right that goes to the back
bedroom, a door directly in front of you that goes to the side yard, and to your
left is the kitchen. Some nights there would be no kid that would appear peeking
into the livingroom to see what was going on, but a shadow that would cross the
kitchen and disappear behind the island that held the television, the
refrigerator, and a closet that used to be the old front door. Robert began
reporting that he heard footsteps coming up the stairway and into his room and
that his bedding would be folded neatly and stacked under his bed when he woke
up. There were other changes too. Dark changes in my personality and demeanor. I
had always had an addictive personality but had been able to keep it in check. I
began a spiral descent that nearly ended my life.

When Amys’ toys outgrew her room we moved her to the large room upstairs. She
had been sleeping in our room anyway, and Robert had been sleeping in the
livingroom. David had not been bothered in the west room on the 2nd floor, he
had done a share of the reconditioning work on that room and it seemed that any
work done on the house was rewarded by being left alone. Robert started sleeping
downstairs after waking up nose to nose with a bearded old man hovering above
his bed. Dave wasn’t happy about relinquishing his room upstairs but went along
with the move. Dave never spent a single night in the downstairs bedroom known
to some of the paranormal investigators that visited the house in Sans Souci as
the choking room. For years I had explained away my waking up paralyzed in that
room as a problem with my health. Brain tumor, sleep apnea, I really didn’t know
what it was but was sure it was me, not the house. I would wake up unable to
move or even scream for what seemed to be an eternity. When I could finally
muster a muffled whimper Corda would wake up asking what was the matter. I’d be
drenched in sweat, terrorized by not being able to move for so long. It felt as
though I’d been pinned down by the neck, and at the same time paralyzed. I never
saw anything, or heard anything while this was happening to me, but have never
been more scared in my life. After we moved Amy from the downstairs bedroom,
Renegade refused to go back in the room. When Dave lived in the house, after we
had moved downriver to the flatshaus, his dog, a rottweiler also refused to go
into either downstairs bedroom and never once went up the stairs. Dave also had
a cat that would jump 6 feet into the air for no apparent reason, and the cat
would attack the walls downstairs for no known reason on a regular basis.
As Amy grew up she spent more and more time in her bedroom, a lot of it in the
closet that backed up to the attic. And she talked and talked all day long. To
whom, we didn’t care and didn’t inquire. We were just happy she was such a happy
child that kept herself amused most of the time. After Gabreael’s suggestion
that I close up the house, Corda told Amy that she(Corda) would take a group of
Amy’s friends to the house. Unwillingly I took her friends to the house that had
been closed up for half a year. I felt very bad about going but thought I was
better equipped to handle the house than Corda was if anything was going top
happen. The paranormal investigators that had been at the house were making
things much worse, or at least much harder on me. With every new visit something
more violent, more physical would happen to the investigators, and the house
would give me more grief. Electrical problems were a problem. A problem that
always fixed itself. Ominous feelings of dread were extremely strong and
Gabreael’s suggestion that I pray while at the house was allowing me to occupy
the building for short periods of time. Next. Amy’s Visit to her old bedroom.

FREE HAUNTED PICTURES


One of my favorite orb photographs has been causing a stir. A friend had to
super-glue his copy to keep it from flying off the t.v.. The first time he told
me about it he reported extraterrestrial activity in his livingroom. "As I
walked across the room it just flew from the t.v. set, across the room hitting
me!"
My daughter had to "put it away because too much weird shit was happening" at
her apartment. We have 4 here in the flathaus and weird shit is always happening
here. If anyone would like a copy, send me $5.95 for shipping and handling to:
Bob Kowalski

Please report any unusual subsequent activity to this site.

ORBS, ORBS and more ORBS!
Howdy HI friends and neighbors. I’ve been taking pix with my Fujifilm A 345
digital 3 days before a new or full moon, until 3 days after said moon phases.
I’m also checking with the Best Times For Ghost Hunting site for activity in the
geomagnetic fields, and, or solar storms, (there is a LINK at the bottom of this
page).
We’ve had a lot of activity in the flatshaus, as of late. Corda saw an orb fly
past her face. In my experience it is very rare to see an orb with the naked eye
in real time. At the Harsens Island Haunted House I saw orbs circle my head
while walking the stairs, and often see shadows moving about, but the few times
I’ve had the extreme pleasure (a feeling of eurphoria often accompanies these
sightings/encounters) of naked eye/real time encounters the orbs have been right
in front of my face. 4 days before the full moon this month I walked out the
back door and caught an orb right in the eye. It was as if I had walked right
into it. Quite a strange feeling.
I have many pix and will be posting them in the next few days. If the weather
holds, (rainy) my plans are to re-vamp this and my other blogs. This site has
surpassed 5000 visits! My thanks to all who have visited and please stop back
again.

SHEESH


I know I put the new sites e-dress in that last post. But for those of you
familiar with the H.I.H.H. nothings changed. A gentleman answered my ad for a
bar-b-q grill, the top on ours broke, on free-cycle. He sent me directions and
his address which mysteriously disappeared from my computer. I looked for the
past 3 days for the e-mail from him, looked for the e-mails I had sent him and
found nothing. After unsuccessfully searching for his house today with no
address, just working from memory, I e-mailed him a few minutes ago asking for
his address, again. At first it wouldn't send and I lost it. I re-typed the
message and when I sent it, again, mysteriously his original message
re-appeared. I'ts been a lot like that lately. Awoke to a really strange noise
at 4 a.m. Corda was also woke up, and she saw small bright lights moving about
the corner of her room. For 3 days I've been touched repeatedly, with no
explanation. Well. none other than the obvious, to me, anywho. I checked the
moon phases to see if it was close to a new or full moon and again, not close
enough. Lots going on. And other than messing with my communications, and my
mind, it's all good. The new site is islandbobstories.blogspot.com/

merry christmas to all. i've decided to start another page dedicated to orbs.
more on that later. last night corda watched a full size shadow walk slowly out
from the bathroom area, stop, turn its' faceless head towards her then walk into
the furnace. she said that it freaked her out, but she felt no fear. she
described the feeling as, "something i never felt before, even at williams
street".there are lots of noises,, and things that have mysteriously grown feet
and moved themselves overnight lately here in the flats. i have, at gabreaels
suggestion, placed holy water in the girls rooms, and am looking for that
"perfect cross" to hang in the livingroom.
the new owners have told me and others(it's a small island) that they have
noticed nothing at what we used to refer to as "the harsens island haunted
house", "townhaus" and "that hole that was sucking the life and money out of
me." the meeting with the new owner was pretty weird. we only saw each other at
the closing for a second as the new owner pushed past me ignoring my cheery
"hello". the next time i saw her was at church. We go next door to the community
center for coffee and doughnuts after service. I was talking to a man from the
middle channel about the wind we've had to deal with this year when the kids
came upstairs from Sunday school. I heard my grandaughter Alex say, "my grandpa
use to live at 177 williams". the 2 kids talking to al assured her that the
house wasn't haunted and i said hi to their mother. i told her that we lived
there(in her new house at 177 williams) for many years, and how we winterized
the place, bales of straw at the crawlspaces openings, plastic on the windows
after the christmas lights came down, how we used a board with bricks on it to
hold the plastic over the sliding glass door down. she said they were almost out
of water and i replied that she should be careful not to let the water pump run
if she did run out of water because of the cost of a new pump. i told her that
if she did have any problems with spirits in the house there was a lady from
north carolina that had been advising me and had offered to help her, she made a
noise i can only describe as disgust then she said, "and that Bob Kowalski, I'm
suing him". at this Al spun around in her seat next to me knocking over her
glass of hot chocolate. I was already standing with "I'd be Bob Kowalski" pursed
on my lips, but in the scramble to stop the hot chocolate from spreading I said
nothing. discretion being the better part of valor, we left without introducing
ourselves.

an up to date is certainly in order, sold the house, bought a computer and a
camera. with the new computer came the ability to see the piks i took at the
harsens island haunted house for the 2 weeks leading up to the club closing and
me having to give rita her camera back. i went through about half of them last
night. there is a whole lot of orbs, some mists and some things that need
further review.on one night i felt especially creeped out, i took a few piks
behind me. i just knew someone was behind me. in looking for the first time at
the piks taken that night i was suprised to find that there is a decided lack of
orbs. from the photographic evidence one would catagorize the night as a bust. 2
orbs in 1 pik. i met the new owner and her kids.,

my last trip to the harsens island haunted house.
as usual, i prayed the Lords prayer on my way to the townhaus. i felt nothing as
i entered, made my way through the downstairs and up to the second floor.
nothing as i opened the attic door in the riverside bedroom. why i open the door
is a mystery. nobody said "here it is, the portal to the netherworld" but,
that's what i do. i open the attic door and wait for the devil.
nothing happened. it was broad daylight, the moon in no favorable position for
endeavoring to reach the otherside. i had thought long and hard about what i
wanted to know most about the house. i narrowed it down to, "what do you want to
tell me?" not a good idea. i had heard it before. a whispering whine like a wind
together with a heavy machine whine. it got louder. and louder. it was
uncomfortable after a minute. after a couple minutes, it hurt. it hurt my head
like a terrrible headache. three to five minutes into my answer i began to
wonder if this could result in permanent damage. i prayed. it was hard to
remember the Lords prayer and i doubted every word i thought. i don't think i
vocalized anything, it didn't seem necessary. quickly it elevated past where i
wanted the situation to be. pressure was very great in my head. i got up not
bothering to close the attic door, a first, and ran downstairs. i looked around
as i flew througn the kitchen, locked the front door and got into the van. i
thought of locking the door and looked over my shoulder as i started the motor.
i began praying again. i asked that the noise in my head please stop.

i was going to delete the last photo posted because it's so hard to see, but the
cracked smiley face in the orb is just too cool. it's in the top, right corner.
we've been sporting our new hooded sweatshirts, hats and underwear with the
Harsens Island Haunted House emblazoned on them around town, have you seen them?
visit islandbobs online store to pick up yours.
all our links are at the bottom of this page. i am trying to post a link to the
e.v.p.'s taken from 177 williams so that you don't have to wait through the
download of the investigations link to hear them, but am having trouble.
hopefully some kind soul will help me with the process and i will have them
soon.

i posted the original of this pik some time ago. it shook me so much that i
didn't try enhancing it at all. a little voice(glenn)has been telling me to look
at the negative. i listened this morning. i will repost the original above this.
glenn is my spirit guide. i had to give back the camera i had been using and
will not be taking any more piks until we close on the house and i can afford a
camera of my own. i do, however have hundreds of orb piks yet to post. as soon
as i can get my hands on them i'll pass 'em along to you.

did somebody say, more pictures? well here's a start. these are from 1 night
this labor day weekend. i took like 89 piks, and these were the best of the orb
piks. sorry 'bout the way some of them showed up here, i'm working on fixin that
as we type. and every night i went back there were more orbs. sometimes a bunch
in the first pik, like they were waiting for me. and always a bunch in the last
pik. in what i learned about ley lines, thanks to Gabreael, orbs travel ley
lines absorbing the energy from the ley lines. kinda like a re-fuelimg on the
fly deal. i'm wondering if they absorb energy from the flash in somewhat the
same manor.. i saw the reflection from 2 that were a few feet in front of me
last week. they looked spectacular in the camera. i hope to have them soon. i'm
also gonna try more zoom piks. check out the beans orb site at
http://www.orbsbybeans.com/index.html and visit my online store in the links at
the bottom of this page. why it is at the bottom of the page is beyond me. if
you know why it is at the bottom of the page please let me know. and also why my
pictures are so damn big. geeeese, their humungous.

sorry i don't have any more pictures to post, yet. as soon as i can get them
sent to me i will have them here. i have many of the recent piks from the
harsens island haunted house on c.d., but my c.d. rom has a broken drive belt. i
should be closing on the townhaus sale soon and will buy a new computer and
camera then, cutting out the middleman, as it were, as it was, but not as it
shall be forever, i hope. i borrowed this next bit from nasa explaining why the
activity remains at an hightened level,,,
AURORA ALERT: Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) hurled into space by the solar
explosions of Sept. 7th-9th could strike glancing blows to Earth's magnetic
field during the next 48-to-72 hours. Sky watchers in Canada, Alaska and other
northern places should be alert for auroras.

ACTIVE SUN: Solar activity is very high. Earth-orbiting satelites have detected
four X-class solar flares this week, including one X17 monster. NOAA forecasters
say there's a 50% chance of more X-flares during the next 24 hours, possibly
causing radio blackouts and radiation storms.

i went to sans souci last night after work, got 1 pik and the batteries in
ritas' canon powershot A75 went dead. undeterred i grabbed my disposable camera
and took a pik, it was the last 1 in it. i put old batteries in the canon and
got a couple more piks. whem i got back home i previewed the piks and found my
first pik had a hundred orbs in it! i'll be going back tonight armed with fresh
batteries. i am looking for suggestions on buying a camera. i need a digital
with virtually no recovery time between pictures, them orbs move fast!

the geomagnetic field has calmed down so i won't be taking any more pictures for
a bit. as soon as i get more that i've taken over the last 6 nights sent to me,
i will post them. and there are a lot of them. been averaging 'bout 4 outa 5
with orbs. and taking between 100 and 200 piks a night, i've got a lot of great
piks. the group photo thingy is still working. always get a LARGE number of orbs
when i ask them to get together. i have also noticed that the very large orbs
have to be snuck up on. i get them randomly swinging the lense and walking
around corners snapping piks. i went early monday evening and attracted a few
neighbours. the flashes light up the sky and surrounding yards, even when
shooting inside the harsens island haunted house. i have opened up an online
store with pictures from the harsens island haunted house on apparel and various
sundries. it is in the links at the bottom of this page, please stop by for a
visit.

what a night. got to the townhaus at 3:30 it didn't feel good. i took 1 pik and
the batteries went dead. i put in some new ones and got to it. my heart pounded
the whole time. prayed more times than i can count. i had to to keep my heart
from exploding. it was worse in the backyard than anywhere else. i didn't go
into the house. got a lot of great piks, the last one looks like a christmas
tree in the backyard covered in orbnaments. i took 107 last night and had 24
without orbs! yahoo is working much better for sending the piks so i'll have
many more, soon. i took a bunch when i got home at 4:20 and was suprised to find
a few orbs and a pik overhead at the road with a bunch of orbs.

wowie zowie. i took around 200 piks at the harsens island haunted house last
night, or rather, early this morning. my preliminary scan has about 12 piks
without orbs! i will have them posted here very soon. i've been having trouble
with outlook express, so am trying yahoo mail for my picture delivery. this
should speed up the time it takes from taking the piks, to posting them. i have
opened up islandbobs online store, link at the bottom of this page, and will
soon have more Harsens Island Haunted House memorabilia available there, thanks,

this picture was taken on Harsens Island Mi., on August 22 a little before
midnight with my good friend, and best friends' sister Ritas' Canon PowerShot
A75. a M-class solar flare had left the sun 4 days earlier, the 18th. an almost
identical situation presents itself again. tonight is the 2nd day before the new
moon and we had another M-class solar flare 4 days ago, the time it usually
takes the energy released in the eruption on the surface of the sun, to reach
earth. basing my limited knowledge on this information provided by N.A.S.A., i
went looking for the unknown last night. i started off in the upstairs bedroom,
river side of the house, looking into the attic. on the 22nd of august i didn't
go upstairs. i stood that night at the bottom of the stairs and convinced myself
that the last 3 times upstairs takin piks was enough. and that i really didn't
need any more. perhaps that was correct 'cause last night i took 50 piks
upstairs and got 1 with an orb in the stairway and maybe a couple more in the
big upstairs bedroom. there were no ill feelings in the house except for the 2
times i felt i should leave. both times the feeling of needing to leave was
accompanied by shortness of breath. i stayed another 10 minutes both times,
praying. the urge to vacate the premise had passed. taking piks in the yard i
noticed an orb moving, it seemed, in the camera viewfinder. i followed and took
more piks. i did capture the orb in the yard but sadly, not while moving. at 25
minutes after midnight i left. there is 8 or 10 piks with orbs, and 1 with a red
glowing dot amoungst the orbs. as soon as rita sends me the rest of the piks
from august 22 i will post them and follow with the piks from last night and
tonight.

i signed the papers selling the Harsen's Island Haunted House. it took a couple
days for the feeling that i had again done something, or someone wrong, to go
away. i will be going back to the harsens island haunted house tonight. a storm
in the earths geomagnetic field holds the promise of more great pictures. the
fact that tonight is the 3rd day before the new moon almost guarantees something
in the piks. ghosts, spirits, orbs, shadowpersons, demons?, who knows. i think
that what i like most about the paranormal is my complete ignorance of the
subject. whatever happens, it will be a learning experience. no black and white,
no right or wrong. just areas of grey. riddles wrapped in enigmas.
many thanks to Gabreael,
http://journals.aol.com/gabreaelinfo/GabreaelsBodyMindSpiritJournal/ for
extending her advice and help to the new owners. without her help i surely would
have run amok.
i have a dozen or more piks from The Harsens' Island Haunted House in the pipe.
i will post them as soon as i get them back. i am hoping for today. and will,
God willing, have more tonight to share with you.

feeling very conflicted today. i want to sell the house, but i want to sell it
to a group, or someone interested in studying the paranormal. the offer i have
for the house is from a family with 4 children. yes, they know the house is
haunted, but i fear they are overlooking that fact driven by the affordability.
you really can't find a 4 bedroom house on a large lot ready to move in for
under 100k. not around here, anyway.
we raised our kids there without incident. maybe it's the houses' influence on
me that gives me these doubts. could be that i just don't want to let go. i know
it won't be a clean break. i see myself standing in the yard, looking in at the
new owners, jealous. pretty weird, eh?
well there's the phone, it's the realtor. time to make a decision, if i have to,
i guess. quoting from "the man's prayer" at the end of every red green show.

went to the harsens island haunted house by myself tonight. the camera wouldn't
work inside the house. something told me not to go upstairs, and i listened. the
few piks i got were amazing. 1 pik has 75 orbs. i'm home 15 minutes before
midnight wondering if it was the batteries i just replaced or what. really no
reason for the camera not working. not tired, or scared. but think i'll stay
here. if i can't sleep maybe i'll go back and try again for a few piks.

a sunspot developed on august 18 into a planet size behemoth. when sunspots
develop at breakneck speed, their magnetic fields can become unstable and
explode. sunspot m798 now poses a threat for m class solar flares. based on this
information i think the activity level will be high at 177 williams ave.
tonight. i'm going back there now. rita says she'll download the piks i took
last week and i'll publish them later tonite or tomorrow.

on my own again. thinkin' that there probably aren't a lot of guys that would go
into a haunted house by themselves. 'specially 2 nights in a row. but i did and
the night was without incident. i arrived shortly after 11:00 again to find 2
people standing in front of the house, the lady holding a bucket. my thoughts on
that are ..............................still processing. that's my story and i'm
sticking to it. i took a lot of pictures, ritas' camera worked fine 'till i left
the upstairs, shooting at the wall/portal at the top of the stairs. it wouldn't
work there, again with the green lightening. i was really comfortable at the
house and had no problem sitting in the dark 'till past midnight taking piks of
nothing. i was so at ease that i turned my back on whatever is there to watch
freighters going by. that's what i miss most about that house, the freighters
constantly passing. i found it hard to leave and a couple times got back out of
the car and took more piks. once home i found some piks with orbs. more outside
of the house than inside. and a face in the wall that has been photographed
before. i'll have those as soon as rita gets a chance to scan and send them to
me. i'll be going back tomorrow night, sunday, the 2nd night after the full moon
and again on monday night.

it was pretty weird last night. i went by myself a little before 11:00. i gave
the usual, "hi, i'm home" entering the front door. immediately i headed upstairs
armed with 2 cameras a flashlight and a bottle of water. now upstairs i entered
the attic. i took what i thought was 8 or 10 piks with ritas' digital canon but
there was no flash, just a faint red glow where i aimed the camera. i exited the
attic sitting down on the bed in the riverside room, put my glasses on and found
the flash button on the disposable camera. again i went in the attic hoping to
get a pik of the same area, from the same angle i had in the upsidedown old man
with a beard pik. i took a pik a week ago sunday to compare with the old man pik
but the angle was wrong and in it the electric box on the outside wall looked
like it had similar features as the face. that's why i wanted another pik or 2
to compare. i went back to the bed outside the attic and turned off the light.
when i saw light shadows or thought i detected movement i took piks with the
digital camera, or so i thought. still no flash, just the faint red glow. i
heard footsteps on the stairs and began praying, the footsteps stopped. the
hairs on my body stood on end and again i prayed and the hairs laydown. after a
while i decided to leave. i wasn't scared but felt inclined to vacate the
premises. on the way out i continued to take piks with the digital camera. when
i got to the top of the stairs the camera went off by itself 18' from the wall
where the portal is supposed to be, the camera emitting a green lightening bolt
about 8" long, and a real flash! the first one i had seen in 20 or more piks. i
continued out and down the stairs stopping at the stair landing to take a pik
with the disposable camera now having serious doubts as to my ability to use the
digital camera. i gave thought to resting in the livingroom and maybe taking a
few more piks, but continued out the front door. remembering the outside piks of
orbs that appear early in this blog i thought i would take some house piks in
the dark. i was taking a series of piks with the digital camera of the roof line
when again the green lightening shot from the camera and again the flash worked!
i took a few more with the disposable camera thinking that the digital just
wasn't working and went home. oh. i went home in the lincoln because my van
wouldn't start. i stopped at home after closing up the club to see if corda
wanted to go with me to take piks. she didn't and for the 1st time in 358,000
miles my van just wouldn't start. but the lincoln did and that's how i got to
the harsens island haunted house this night. when i got home i looked at the 3
piks that had registered on the digital camera. 2 of the outside of the house
with orbs in the sky and on the roof. the pik of the wall from 18" away was also
there. i'm going back tonight to try again.

gabreael called me this morning. always an inspiring and much anticipated event.

going back to the harsens island haunted tonight. it's 3 days before the full
moon. the piks i took a week ago with scott there showed nothing. the pik of my
knee wasn't there. it also wasn't in the negatives. and so, armed with ritas'
digital camera i venture forth in the pursuit of a visual representation of my
guests.

This is the same picture, rotated, enhanced and cropped.i got this one during
the last full moon. took 4 piks, this was the only one with anything out of the
ordinary. well, out of the ordinary most places. i went back 2 nights after the
new moon with chef scott. we took 6 piks. while there, we were sitting on the
bed in the riverside bedroom looking into the open attic door, it got extremely
cold. having just come from work i had shorts on. my knee was so cold that it
hurt my hand to touch it. i took a picture of my knee sure in the fact that
something was sitting on my knee.
i kept hearing buzzing like a mosquito flying by my ear at high speed. scott
didn't hear it. i also saw an 18" distortion move on the wall next to me. chef
scott felt the cold, and asked last night when we would be going back again.
i've been using a disposable camera. i hope to borrow ritas' digital canon with
a flash next night there is some increased activity in the geo-mag field, or ,
full moon which ever happens first. the disposable is in the film store and i
hope to have something for this site very soon.
the house continues to be for sale. two offers nave been made but not accepted.

hi. how ya doin? to the left of the white tongue like thingy is an upsidedown
face. an old man with a white beard, exactly as robert, my son had described
floating over his bed nose to nose. i took 4 piks during a full moon 2 months
ago, and found this one.
i went back during the new moon with a friend and took 6 more piks. while in the
upstairs bedroom looking into the attic my knee became unbelievably cold. so
cold it hurt to touch it. i took a pik of my knee. the cold lasted for 5
minutes, maybe as long as 15 minutes. i saw the predator vision cloaking thingy,
about 18" long on the wall next to me and saw a couple of large orbs. i also
heard what sounded like very fast mosquitos flying by my ear. i wish i had taken
an audio recorder. hopefully the piks will show something.
we have had an offer on the house, and another showing today. with any luck the
house will sell ending my part in this story.

check your old photo's. i have been and have found a few with orbs and mists.
these were taken on a field trip to the great dismal canyon 3 years ago. the
canyon has been used by man for more than 5000 years, and is one of only 3
places on earth known to be inhabited by the dismalites, a tiny glow worm. the
great dismal canyon has been visable from space at peak glow times. i've also
been taking piks at the townhaus on my own. as soon as i can get the one we got
back last nite onto the computer i'll post it. a face in the attic. rather than
telling you what i see i'll wait till i can post it. my son dave(home on a 4 day
leave from the navy)and i got into the attic yesterday and moved the buckets
back under the roof vents that the "professionals" had moved during their
investigations. so far 4 ceilings will have to be repainted, but at least we
saved the ceilings from any further damage. during hard east winds rain comes in
through the vents, hence the buckets under them.
my sincerest thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

hi. how ya doin? there's an explanation for everything, and this is mine.

it started, as best we can recall, in 1988. terry had worked his way out of my
favor, and his happy home. that is another story, indeed. but let's leave it at
that for now. sitting in the livingroom, the television and the closet behind it
were the only things blocking the view of the river, we heard terry come down
the stairs, saw his shadow cross the kitchen and, we thought, exit via the front
door to go party all night with his friends. now, as i've stated before, i'm
slow. painfully slow. but by the third week watching and hearing terry sneak out
i nailed his bedroom window shut. he had to be gettin'in somehow, and the only
way was through his bedroom window.
the footsteps down the stairs, the man size shadow crossing the kitchen,
continued nightly. doh!
we tried our best to ignore it. even when robert said that his bedding was
folded under his bed every morning when he woke up. we told him that it was his
imagination. and when he said that he heard footsteps coming up the stairs and
into his room but could only pull the covers over his head, we said that it was
the old house settling. when he told us he woke up face to face with an old man
hovering over his bed we said, oh robert, those clams must've been bad we had
last night for dinner. robert quit sleeping in his bedroom, he started sleeping
on the couch.

here's an excerpt from g.r.a.v.e.s. report.

The other thing that happened was nothing we could see. Towards the end, George
demanded that the ghost or ghosts show themselves or make themselves known.
Absolutely nothing happened. Actually, George, asked, begged, pleaded, and then
demanded. After your story about the guy who insulted the house, George even
started making comments about the house, the ghosts, and anything else. Still,
nothing happened. This took place in the living room. George then went upstairs.
Sylvia said she didn't think it was a good idea for him to try the "insult"
trick again. She said she didn't feel anything, but she sensed that it was a bad
idea. Dave agreed. George and i figured we'd try it anyway. George went
upstairs, asked for it to show itself, then demanded it. Still nothing. I was at
the bottom of the stairs when George entered the room at the top of the stairs
on the right. He took about 3 steps in and then came walking out. All he said
was, "Yep, it doesn't want me in there." Just before he said that (and before I
saw him walking out of the room), I got a little chill up my spine

in g.r.a.v.e.s. report they found nothing, music in a video could have been the
band at sans souci. a blob in a pik could've been glare. sorry i'm not updating
this site more often, but the cost is just too high to let more people into the
house. sorry to those i've turned away, and to those wishing to hear more about
the house.

authentic entertainment got back to me, thanks helga, and the discovery channel
will not be coming to harsens island. the idea is still being marketed so may
yet come to fruition.

the group of professionals from chicago visited the harsens island haunted house
last weekend. as soon as they send me any info i'll update this site. in the
meantime let me tell you what i experienced.
we had some great weather last week, tied a record of 83 degrees on tuesday. i
got lots done while the sun was shinin'. replaced those windowsills on the front
of the house, scraped the loose paint, and with my new best friend, hard putty,
we made magic. i needed a piece of the clapboard siding that covers the old
front porch from the block up. first i asked my friendly island
friends/builders. next i called lumber jack. he told me that they knew where
some could be had, would i like to order some? i figured i'd check at adair
salvage since i had to go to the mainland anyway, so i held off ordering the 54"
of clapboard. good thinkin'. walking back from the road after seeing al to the
bus, there it was. laying on my pile of spiles, right on top. i thanked the
appropriate deity 'cause i sure couldn't remember putting it there, or seeing it
before, for that matter.
i cut all the trees that were leaning into the yard, raked up the straw that had
insulated the crawlspace and water tank all winter and in general, made the
place look good. taking a break in the livingroom i saw the shadow moving around
quite a bit, only in a new form. do you know, in the movie predator, how when
cloaked, the background was distorted? well it was like that. it even passed
within inches of my face. no stomach aches, feelings of dread, none of that. but
i'm praying pretty regular, 'specially while in the house.
the weather did a 180 and we got snow all weekend. i got sick. sicker than a
dog. headaches, that i attributed to not eating. couldn't eat 'cause i was so
sick to my stomach. blamed the stomach on everything that i had eaten for 3
days, it was all suspect. tried all my home remedies. filled a capsule with oil
of oregano and ate it , thinking that i had an intestinal virus. took
microhydrin(h-) 3 times a day, a great flu beater. qi'd, 2 or 3 times daily,
instead of the once a day i'm use to. even stopped doing the crunches that i'd
been doing for the last 2 weeks, thinking that they somehow were messing with my
stomach. then i began thinking that somehow the house was making me sick! i had
felt exactly like this before other paranormal groups' visits. why not this
time. sure enough, and as before, as soon as i left 177 williams, ghost research
and various energies society tucked in for the night, i felt better!
i talked to my ma and she straightened me out. i told her the whole story and
before i could attribute my malaise to the house she said, and i quote "you
weren't supposed to do it". and the memories came tumbling back, the reason for
not lying, the reason for not for not being mean. when i got older i blamed my
honesty on not being able to remember the layers of deceit involved in covering
up a lie, but there was always that sick feeling. like i've said more than once,
i can be painfully slow to see the obvious. sorry Lord, i'll work on it.

started the week by taking al, my grandaughter to church. 1st time in a long
time for me. walking up to st. marks she said, "they're all old, grandpa". there
were a couple of kids she knew inside the church, and the stained glass window
that read, "in memory of mr. joseph bedore". "yup, that's your great, great,
great, great grandfather", i told her and she felt a little more at home. even
with all of us old people around.
i've been working with gabreael on my meditation technique, and praying alot.
something that i've also not done in a long time. spent all my life priding
myself in the fact that i didn't ask for help, i'd take care of it myself. my
friend roy, who "got religion" in a big way recently told me, "bob, all you have
to do is ask for what you need". i brushed him off and went back to my ways,
struggling along just barely getting by. then gabreal told me that she made a
deal with god. my first thought was, that's blasphemy! i had never entertained
the notion that one could not only talk to their god, one on one, but actually
enter into a deal with the almighty. still digesting this information,( i am
really slow to realize the obvious) i went back to the harsens island haunted
house to replace a couple of window sills that needed attention. my friend john
space was giving me a hand and had to leave with a stomach ache. i had said the
lords prayer when entering the house, and told john about me praying for
protection for the first time. i was worried about john and checked in on him
when running home for tools. it had occured to me that my daughters friends and
i had terrible stomach aches when i took her friends into the house. amy got the
piks back that they took that night. my wife has seen them and says that the
group pik i took before we left, asking the spirits to get into the pik, has
many orbs around everyone but amanda, she had a rosary in her pocket. amanda has
two orbs in front of her, right near the pocket with the rosary in it. the rest
of the group has orbs surrounding their bodies and heads. there is also a pik of
a red blob coming through the stairway wall next to a mini tornado. john was
still laying down holding his stomach and assured me that he had this pain
before and didn't get it from my house. "oh c'mon bob" was suzys'(johns
significant other) laughing reply. so i went back to the townhaus to finish my
work. in the frontroom i felt a presence, hairs stood on end and a creepy
feeling came over me. i said the lords prayer and before i was done the feeling
was gone. a few minutes later i walked into a cold spot and my heart sunk. just
a feeling of dread, or like i'd done something wrong. again i prayed and the
cold spot and feeling went away. empowered i yelled, "yeah, i got a ghost gun
and you ain't gonna bother me no more" i sat down only to be attacked again,
this time my heart beat irregularly. i looked at my chest in disbelief. but i
guess if "it" can twist your guts "it" can put the squeeze on your heart too, so
i prayed again. and again, the attack stopped. i'm going back today with no fear
or trepidation, i got my ghost gun.

i've avoided the house like the plague, especially with all the geomagnetic
activity(due to the coronol wind) and the moon phases being new, to a few days
after full, and i no longer have any desire to go into the house. i had hoped
that through professionals visiting the house we would learn something from the
dead and, or the paranormal world, of which i knew nothing. i know a lot more
than i did at the start of this, which still isn't much. after talking with
"ghost hunters", i learned that mediums could "feel" the house from afar. this
information proved invaluable, as it has become my only source of any real
information. our spirit guides arrange things to help us along. i met my guide
last week through my reading with gabreael. i've always believed that everything
happens for a reason. the reason being part of Gods plan. i can feel the
connection, my connection to his plan. with this insight has come a peace that i
don't ever remember feeling before. maybe it's just knowing what one has to do,
as opposed to wondering what one is going to have to do next, but whatever it
is, it's way cool.

happy easter!! i talked with gabreael last night and she said that the dark
spirit may have been in the house before the ouija board was used, but could
have been made stronger by its use. i always try to correct any mistakes i make
here reporting on the townhaus. if you have a correction for me, please send it
along. i have a hard and fast rule concerning retractions. that being, you will
have to send the correct information in order for me to report it. thanks again
to my regular readers.

my thanks to pat, a student of gabreaels. in a picture from
http://journals.aol.com/gabreaelinfo/GabreaelsBodyMindSpiritJournal/ she saw my
dog renegade, on the roof at the harsens island haunted house standing guard.
she described him, exactly as he had looked. this is the dog i've written about
that would accompany my infant daughter into her bedroom, from the day we
brought her home, and stay with her until she awoke and we brought her out of
that room. he was my best friend for 14 years and died in my arms in that house.
from my reading with gabreael i learned many things. my biological father was
there, as was my grandfather i had never met. in fact i had only met my father
once. my grandfather said there is 3 generational curses on the men in my
family. we have overcame 1, leaving the other 2. my brother bob, dead since last
november had to be helped "over". his message was for another brother but is for
all of us, i believe. "life is precious, you're responsible for every word,
every deed, and when you die you will stand on a hill looking down at all the
things you did, and did not do while alive".
my spirit guide said that a ouija board was used at the townhaus, allowing a
dark spirit to enter, drawn to the curse, or cursed. i have verified that indeed
2 of my sons used ouija boards, in the upstairs bedroom on the riverside. i had
forgotten, but corda remembered robert and his friend locking themselves into
that bedroom with a board for a week. this would co-incide with the time we
began noticing "things". he described my life thusfar as a dark storm with rough
seas behind me. he noted my health history and some problems i'll be having in
the future, also some maneuvers i need to make soon. this was my first reading
and won't be my last. i recommend it to everyone. if you're not a believer
before, you will be after.

this is 2 comments in their entirety posted to
http://journals.aol.com/gabreaelinfo/GabreaelsBodyMindSpiritJournal/ my most
gracious thanks to gabreael for allowing me to show them here. the comments are
in response to gabreaels'sunday march 13 post. "a haunted house story"
"This post was emailed to me from another psychic who is a Non - AOL user. Here
is her post:

Gabreael,

What I feel about the little boy is that there was a little boy in there who had
been kidnapped and molested/murdered. The male drunk entity was in his late 40's
or 50's, was an alcoholic, and was violent with women as well. In fact, it feels
he may have strangled at least one woman, possibly a prostitute in the house as
well. The bodies were disposed of elsewhere, but were killed in that house. If I
were closer, I would go there and do some work on it. I know I could make a
significant difference, but I'm not close. Very interesting. Don't know how you
could do it, but Bob should check on missing person's reports between the years
of 1897, and 1929. This guy was a real SOB and will probably need a priest with
the necessary training to remove.

Linda

mytfinemagic@ywave.com" (i have talked with linda, she does dream
interpretations and readings, bob) thanks linda


"Comment from gabreaelinfo - 3/14/05 11:22 AM



Ooohh, I read that news article link. What a spooky story. That laides back
looked painful. That man should sale that house to "Scariest Places On Earth,"
or one of those sort of shows. Maybe like the Discovery Channel, TLC, Sci Fi, I
would think it would be well worth $107,500 to them for that, plus it's a real
house by the water. I would think it would be a pretty sweet deal for any of
them. Now I will sleep with my bathroom light on for a week :P.

Sarah"

please visit gabreaels body, mind and spirit journal at

more on gabreael on this site soon. even though her schedule is full with
family, the courses she teaches and her writing, she has honoured me with one of

authentic entertainment came across this site while researching a pilot they are
doing for the discovery channel. helga said it was just what they were looking
for. a haunted house with questions yet unanswered. a 5 part pilot for a new
show to be called, "if these walls could scream". the 1st show they would send a
team of investigators into the house, blind. with no knowledge of previous
investigations. the 2nd show would center on my family and their 30+ years of
experiences with the house. the 3rd night would be interviews with the
professional paranormal investigators that had stayed at the harsens island
haunted house. the 4th would be the research brought to light by a team of
investigators working the history of the property, house and inhabitants. the
final night of the pilot would be a 2nd visit to the townhaus.
sounds good to me. but so did the offer to buy from england which came when i
was deciding on the fate of the house. much like, no exactly like this call from
l.a. just as i decide to list the house with a realtor. and yes, this house is
listed for sale. you can have all this fun yourself for $107,500.00 please

wow. what a phone call. ya, so it was 2 hours long, it answered all my fears. as
i reflect on it now, it wasn't the questions i wanted answers to, it was much
bigger than that. gabreael, i thank you. words cannot express what i feel. not
now. i must first put to words our "chat" there will be time later to express my
gratitude.
it began with a series of questions, followed by a discription from the book of
DAVID, a description of shadowpeople. demons and shadow people are similar in
m.o.'s but she believes from our conversation that we are dealing with a
"shadowperson" not a demon. from the night terrors, i experienced many times, to
my struggles with addiction and anger, she was able to answer my questions.
i was directed to gabreael by james of the haunted store in november of last
year. i sure wish i'd have contacted her then. i didn't because i thought it
would cost me money i didn't have. i was afraid to ask for help because i didn't
want to be embarrassed when it came time to pay for the advice. well as usual i
was wrong, again. there are people that will help a fellow in need, even if he's
gotten in over his head.
gabreael suggests that i close the house up and try to sell it as haunted, and
she is helping me with getting the word out. allowing paranormal groups into the
house was a bad idea. they stirred up the spirits, and left. having gotten what
they came for they left me with the real results of their investigations.
stronger, more volatile entities, angry with me for bringing the groups in. the
information(e.v.p.'s and pictures, and mediums conversations with the dead) is
all suspect. i have none of the documentation to start with, and according to
the book of david, demons and shadowpersons always use childrens and womens
voices to deceive. this would explain our being unable to verify any 4 years old
named timmy getting run over in front of the house.
if i can't sell the house as haunted gabreael has offered to make the trip from
south carolina up to harsens island, she grew up in white lake michigan, to
remove the spirits, at her own expense. i am still in shock over this turn of
events and find myself tongue tied in my appreciation. gabreael, you are truley
a gift from God.

things change. the house is no longer for rent by the night. i am forever
indebted to GABREAEL, www.gabreael.com. Terry King also helped me alot with what
i knew nothing of. being totally ignorant of the paranormal is a dangerous place
to be. if not for these women so many bad things could have happened.
a phone call from authentic entertainment in los angeles came last week. the day
after i listed the house for sale. life long friend and realtor nancy short
loper met me at 10:00 a.m. i gave no thought to protecting myself as it was so
early, and the house had been so quiet. but i hadn't given a thought to the
house' point of view. we toured the house, nancy asking questions and taking
notes. at the attic door she reached for one of the 2 locks that keep it closed.
i hadn't planned on going into the attic but opened it for her. she asked about
the pipes in the attic and i told her that when we bought the house the hot
water tank was in the unheated attic space and i moved it downstairs. i may have
said something derogatory about the builder and his choice of placement for the
tank. i leaned against the wall next to the window and said to nancy, " it's
either happening again, or that walk up the stairs wore me out". holding her
chest she said, " i feel it too, but didn't want to say anything". she reminded
the unseen force that she had her own ghost with her, and we left. downstairs i
told her of the moscow times article on house sprites, that had been sent to me
and how i had been leaving the spirits a shot of scotch on the table to appease
or calm them. she commented that they weren't acting very calm, and we left, but
not before refilling the offering for grandpa sprite. as i pulled away from the
harsens island haunted house, i saw nancy talking to someone in her car. i
thought she maybe had a hands free phone. at my house in the flats, she said "i
have never had a problem with this car, ever. it just came from being serviced,
and it would not start at your house when we just left. i told your ghost that i
had my ghost with me and to let my car go, and it started".
was the call about the 5 night pilot for the discovery channel a hoax? i don't
think so. how about the e-mail and call from a couple wanting to rent the house
in sans souci for the month of june? again,i don't think so, but i am eternally
optimistic. it just seems that when i make any moves towards doing anything with
the house, shit happens.

PART 12


so we've got a four year old named timmy, a 54 year old named isabelle, or
isabella, a nameless one that sayz, "it hurts", a sea captain, or sailor, a
robert, a shadow that moves throughout the house but hides in the attic, a
mist/cold spot that moves through the people in the house wreaking havoc on
their bodies and minds. these are the entities we have experienced and/or heard
of from the mediums that have come calling. noises of things being moved around
in the attic, shuffling of things, scurrying around sounds, and in my case large
dull booms. i think that because i'm so deaf the ghosts get tired of me not
hearing the other noises they are making, so they drop things on the floor
upstairs to get my attention. there are the pennies that appear all over the
house, the electrical system that arbitrarily turns things off and back on a
little while later. i've noticed that i can predict these electrical anomalies
by the tingling i feel. if the spirit is moving, the hairs on my body will
stand, pointing out the direction to the entity. the heavyness that some of us
have felt upstairs, on our chests, the feeling that your guts are being pulled
and twisted, and the feelings of dread, anxiety and an immediate need to vacate
the area are i believe, the mist with the many faces.
what do they want? they don't want michiana ghost society, or real estate agents
in the house. or did those visits just coincide with the phases of the moon that
may stir the house up? or am i way off base and the nites that the house is
"quiet" reflect the spirits dislike of the guests?

PART 11


has it really been that long? does the moon have an effect on the paranormal
world? why did the house turn docile? you know, if i've learned anything at all
it's that i've learned nothing at all. michigan paranormal investigations, only
heard things being moved upstairs. they documented nothing. the next weekend the
group that stayed, had a psychic/medium with them that communicated with a
robert from the spirit world, and filmed some orbs. the house seemed much
quieter than it had been for the last month. until yesterday. i met my friend
since gradeschool, nancy who is now a real estate agent/broker and we went in at
10:00 a.m. thursday march 3rd. as it was so early in the morning and the house
had been so quiet, i gave no thought to protecting myself. we walked through the
downstairs, her taking notes, me giving dimensions. at the attic door nancy
asked if this was where they had found the bag of hockey equipment? i pointed to
the other storage space and she began opening the door. i hadn't planned on
opening it but did for her. a quick in and out of the attic found us in the
riverside bedroom. we were talking about the builder of the house putting the
hot water tank in the attic, an unheated area, and how i had moved it
downstairs. i had to lean on the wall next to the window, i was weak and having
a hard time breathing. "damn, did the walk up the stairs do this to me, or is it
happening again?" i asked nancy. she had her hand over her chest and told me,"i
didn't want to say anything, but i feel it too."

PART10


here we go. if you've been anxiously waiting for the next installment, i've
gotta say, me too. i really didn't have anything to report after last saturdays
visit from michigan paranormal investigations. nothing really happened, at least
for me, or my wife corda who stayed with the group of 6 from 5:00 untill 8:00
p.m.. we heard many weird things from the rooms that the groups of 3 had shut
themselves into, but when they changed rooms, or took a break, i was told that
they were not a medium and they would have to examine the tapes to tell me what
had happened. honest. i'm really beginning to hate these people. where i come
from, here, harsens island, we see what we see and we hear what we hear, and
that's that. i'm not use to being told that i will have to wait 10 days to be
told what people see or hear in the next room.
anyway, here's what we heard. doves coo'ing for a long time, half hour anyway.
and we heard screaming, a lot of screaming from the upstairs, only sounding far
away. then the very loud scream followed by, "o.k. let's rap it up now". corda
peeked at their notes. i would never do such a thing, myself, but am very
thankful for any help in such areas. pennies falling on steps, is what she read.
but after the group left we found no pennies on the stairs.
so we come to tonight. the world reknown psychic/medium tana hoy staying with
us, accompanied by terry king, on her 2nd visit, and a wonderful couple from
ohio. we met at sans souci casual bar and had dinner. i found mr hoy to be a
very ingaging conversationalist. we talked of many things until terry asked how
the house was feeling today? "active," i replied, "but, it seems, in a good
way". alex and i had been to the townhaus early in the morning to pump the water
out from under the house that collects during a thaw. i set the pump up and went
in to get a fire going before bringing al from the van. it was very cold, and
the heat had been at 40 degrees all week in the house. when i first walked in
the door i heard the smoke alarm in the stairwell going off. i looked up the
stairs and saw no smoke, and wondered if the house knew i was coming to start a
fire and was anticipating my filling the house up with smoke, like i usually do
when getting a fire going, or if the battery was going dead, or if maybe it was
just a commentary on my fire building skills, or lack thereof? whatever the
reason it continued for the 20 minutes it took to get a good fire going. the
floors were still too cold to take my boots off and to walk the ledge in the
stairwell to the smoke detector. so i yelled at the stairway,"what do ya want?
knock it off!". and the smoke detector shut off. oh, there was a weak beep,
beeeep that dribbled from the speaker as i went back into the livingroom, but
that was the end of it.
mr. hoy thought that i might be a distraction, and asked if i minded just
letting them in, and leaving? no, i'd been told before that as the "caretaker",
i may have a calming influence on the house, so i didn't mind too much. i had
hoped to be there when tana hoy contacted the spirits to answer the many
questions that multiply daily, concerning the house, but would be just as happy
with the answers to a few questions, secondhand. i looked terry king in the eyes
and said, "you know what i want. i want to know who's there, why are they there,
and what do they want from me?". "and don't make me wait 10 days before tellin
me." i walked the four through the house giving up what information i knew, gave
a few last minute instructions, and the conversation drifted to health, a
passion of mine. as i rattled off a few of my favorite remedys i felt the hairs
stand up all over my body. i was standing on the stair landing at the entrance
to the large upstairs bedroom, tana was leaning on the closet to my left. i
finished my thoughts on cleanses and said," i think you're in for an interesting
night. i am somewhat in tune with the house, and something is about to happen."
i leaned over to tana and whispered, "can you feel it?" he touched my arm and
said yes.

PART9




as soon as the kids showed up they jumped on the computer to see the times
herald story piks of the house. i think we are up to 9 faces in the mist now,
one of which is also in the livingroom paneling. i told them how to protect
themselves, and off we went to beautiful downtown sans souci. i felt like i was
being watched from the house from a few blocks away, not a good feeling. flung
open the door with my usual cheery "hi. we're home", and we walked in. everyone,
amy, two of her girlfriends and a couple boys, took off their shoes and began
cautiously milling around. when amy went upstairs i followed closely. she's been
having dreams about the house lately. one where she is pulled up the stairs and
into the riverside room by thousands of hands. in the other she is standing at
the top of the stairs when she is pulled through the wall into the attic. this
is where michiana ghost society documented the hider(the 7 foot shadow that
lives in the attic), disappearing into the wall. except for the time they had
the stationary camera set up at the edge of the landing. that time the hider
flew up the stairs, stopped dead, in front of the camera, then turned the other
way flying through the wall and the cupboards on the otherside of the stairwall.
pans went flying raising a awful noise. i stood within arms reach of amy as she
stood just inside of her old bedroom, feet from the stairwell landing, and the
wall in her dream. "there it is" she gasped, "it's right next to me". then she
began to shake and cry, i grabbed her and pulled her back from the landing, i
wrapped my arms around her telling her that it was o.k. everything was o.k. she
pushed me away and in a voice that wasn't quite hers' yelled "you ruined it!
something was going to happen and you ruined it"
i felt a feeling in my stomach like i was really hungry and my stomach was
really empty, then it started to hurt, bad. i said "oooooooo my stomach hurts",
and amy said hers did too, so did stans, amys' boyfriend. we were seeing orbs
and shadows all the time now, the kids went into the riverside upstairs bedroom,
and i went downstairs to rest and get my stomach to settle down. was guessing it
was something i ate for dinner because the pain was like a gas pain. amanda came
downstairs with me, she had brought a rosary and said she felt safe beside me.
we watched shadows flit about the downstairs 'till i felt strong enough to go
back up. we went back into the river room in total darkness, the rest of amy's
friends were sitting on the bed looking into the open attic door. "look" amy
whispered, there were orbs dancing around in the attic. stan was just on the
floor and there was a white lite around him, he said his toes and fingers were
tingling and we made him get up here with us on the bed, and his outline was
still sitting crosslegged on the floor. the stomach ache returned as the cold
spots moved through the group. i said so and all but amanda were experiencing
the same thing. they described it as being stabbed in the guts. i talked them
into leaving and we went back downstairs. i had to go outside. the weakness and
pain were too much. after maybe 5 minutes the pain in my left side eased enough
to go see what the kids were doing. they were back upstairs sitting together on
a bed in amys' old room. they were all quite excited about all the orbs and
shadows and temperature changes they were experiencing. i asked about the pain
and they all still had it. i got them back downstairs, i had tried enveloping
all of us in a white light to protect us and again i was drained, i had to sit
down and the pains had moved up my left side to my chest. i went back out and
leaned back against the van and looked at the sky and the house's roof line. 10
minutes, 15 minutes? my head was cold, i pulled my hood up and wondered what the
kids were doing, and if they were safe. the chest pains had receeded back to my
guts that felt as though they were being twisted. i still wanted to believe it
was gas, but why did it lessen when outside? i hadn't farted, burped or even
felt gas bubbles moving, i went back inside. they were taking piks at every cold
spot. they posed in the kitchen and i took the pik. i said "sayyyyyyy timmi!",
took the pik and saw a shadow run from behind the kids across the wall. can't
wait to see that pik. i made my rounds checking everything that i always check
before leaving and found the attic door open. i pushed it shut and it pushed
back. the kids had been on the bed watching the door open and close over and
over again. i pushed it closed again, it pushed back, harder. i threw the door
open really expecting to find one of amys' friends and there was no one.
i had just gotten home, when amy called, she had a scratch like a fish hook on
her back. on the ferry stan had said his stomach was burning, they turned on the
cars interior light to see a welt across his stomach like he had been slapped.
he later found a rash where he had been tingling. i am going have to start
limiting the amount of time i'm spending at the townhaus, it is just too
exhausting.

PART8


the next morning i was up early, corda had to work at 9, so at 8:00 the 3 of us
left, al and i in the van. we stopped at weavers market, waved at corda as she
drove by, picked up a couple newspapers, and smelled the doughnuts. mike had
just pulled a rack out to the counter. nobody home. not a suprise, and somewhat
of a releif. al waited in the van while i did a walk through of the house.
nothing, not a sign of anyone spending the night. i did turn the heat down and
found a cell phone behind the woodstove. a hasty exit? well, i had called mikes
cell phone before leaving this morning. just so as not to suprise them coming so
early to the house, and got his voice mail. we went up to the sans souci casual
bar for breakfast, a look at the paper and this phone. another great b'fest
thanks to alice. after the 1st story in the port huron times herald, she had
confided in me that they too had a spirit in their house. al sold 18 boxes of
girl scout cookies, 6 to mike sauer, who told me that his brother bobby, dead
for a couple years now, was bothering their sister and her family. so much so
that they had asked him to leave. i get more ghost stories now then i got
pollock jokes growing up in the 60's named kowalski. the jokes got old quick,
but the stories come with a chill, everytime.
later on sunday amy called and we talked for quite awhile. she asked if her
friends could stay at the townhaus and i said no, but if they wanted to see the
house i'd go over there with them. "tomorrow" she asked? "yes" i said hoping
they wouldn't come. i took a big ole nap monday afternoon and was feeling like
going to band practice at 7ish when amy called. her mother told her i had forgot
about practice and we would have to call it off. somehow amy talked corda into
taking her and her friends over there, and was on the way to the island. not
wanting al to be there at night i reluctantly agreed to take the kids. that
would leave corda home with alex, i'd missed the last 20 practices, one more
wouldn't hurt.

PART7


michiana ghost society made their 3rd visit to the harsens island haunted house
this last saturday. i'm having a hard time wording this. not wanting to have it
sound like they, well,,,,,,,,ran out the door 13 minutes after arriving, but,
that's what happened. the 2 days previous to their 3rd visit i had done some
work at the townhaus(the family name for the house) and had, what seems to be a
new experience. my energy was drained from me. the longer i spent upstairs the
weaker i got. it was bad. the 1st day the news had reported bad air quality due
to the fog that had been hanging around for a few days. sounded good to me. it
had to be the reason i was breathing so hard. i came downstairs, sat down in the
livingroom and rested for a half hour before closing up the house and leaving.
the 2nd day, the same thing happened. i was working in the attic crawl space
where the m.g.s. teams' medium had said the duffel bag related to the haunting
would be found. some of the insulation had been knocked down and some buckets
moved that were under roof vents. it exhausted me. crawling out into the large
bedroom i thought about lying down for just a minute. just to catch my breath.
but there was ole tom avers, friend, master boat builder, and dead many years
telling me that if i layed down i wouldn't be getting back up. could've been my
imagination, tom had told me those words many years ago when we were discussing
painting the bilge in my 1953 chris craft holiday. i crawled to my feet and
leaned against the stairwall making my way down to the couch. 45 minutes passed
before i could get up and go home.
m.g.s. got to harsens island late this visit, around 8 o'clock. andy told me,
when they pulled into the driveway he felt something was wrong. the team of 4
went into the house, andy upstairs, the other 3 downstairs. andy said that he
heard, "we're getting some really weird shit on the camera down here." then,
"we're out of here". andy came down to find the downstairs empty and the other 3
haunt hunters standing in the front yard. they showed andy the face on the
camera and the group, after driving 7 hours to get here, getting 2 speeding
tickets on the way, and spending 13 minutes in the harsens island haunted house
they had purchased for the night, left and started the long drive back to
indiana.

HARSENS ISLAND HAUNTED HOUSE IN THE NEWS!


The Port Huron Times Herald ran an article today all about the 177 Williams
Street Haunted House. There are audio files and a photo slide show you can click
on.

Believe It or Not - Top bid gets ghost hunters into home
By JOSEPH DEINLEIN Port Huron Times Herald

Upstairs, in the house at 177 Williams St...

After running from the bedroom at the top of the stairs, Morris, a medium (or
psychic), and other members of the Michiana Ghost Society discovered a long
scratch mark running from the base of her neck to the small of her back. Several
smaller scratches were below it, near her waist.

PART6


paranormal prejudice, who would've thought? can't borrow a water tank to get
water to townhaus because something may go back with it. but you can't expect
what you never would've seen coming. ya it's a double negative but, it works.
personally, i went though a lot of changes since hearing of the scratching. my
first thought was, close the place up. i never intended or even guessed that
anyone would get hurt. and we're talking about only the second nite that anyone
has visited the house in more than a year. whats going to happen on the third,
forth, fifth visit? being totally lost and not knowing where to turn for advice,
i raised the minimum bid to 10,000 dollars. i figured this would at least give
me time to re-think the whole thing. i really at this point wanted to close up
the house and let it sit for awhile.
hadn't heard from andy, the president of michiana ghost society and needed to.
the three friends i told my problem to that morning all said the same thing. i
had to let people into the house if they wanted to go. the paper was just about
to release it's story of saturday night with michiana ghost society, harsen's
island news had the house front page. the island was a buzz.
guess i'm the perfect caretaker. can't hear, have been goin deaf for years, and
can't see a thing up close. when in the house the noises i do hear are
indistinguishable. really not sure if i heard anything or what i heard. the
things that i see out of the corner of my eye are always there at the townhaus.
thought it was normal. it's only in spending more time at the townhaus that i've
noticed i don't see anything out of the corner of my eyes here, or anywhere
else, for that matter.
i think it was the e-mail from the lady from alaska, or, i made up my mind at
the same time, but when i logged on to the computer the question was, " i was
just about to bid, i can't afford 10,000. are you going to go back to the 100
dollar opening bid?"
"yup. never figured it any other way", to quote john wayne in rio bravo. got
onboard, going to ride this train 'till she run out of track.

PART5


got the water workin bout 2 in the afternoon, i realize this doesn't mean spit
to most folk, but to an islander, the quest for water is paramount.and to have
your water freeze twice in one winter, well that's just not right. michiana
ghost society showed at about 2 o'clock. i rounded up my granddaughter and her
friend, took some piks of the girls with my DSC-350 D-Link digital camera. i
take piks everytime i go to the house, now, and got ready to leave.
i was so relieved to get the water working, to have the guests back from m.g.s.
in the house, and comfortable. except for the chill. 3 of the party expressed
how cold it was, how cold they were, and 1 of them, how warm my hands were. the
house was 75 degrees, and not at all cold. but they were moving lots of
equipment in and had the door open while load after load was brought out of the
vehicles and into the house. relief is the best way to describe how i felt as i
headed back to the flats.
the night was uneventful, i slept well until 3:00 a.m. when i woke up and
couldn't get back to sleep. i had tried calling mike from m.g.s. 3 times. we
we're cut off the first time i called and was unable to get a connection after
that. i got back to town at 11:30, and no one was there. cleaned up, did some
checking around and was shocked to find that 500 gallons of water were gone from
the tank. one of the attic doors upstairs wasn't on so i put it back in place
and as i hit the stairlanding i saw 3 orbs circling my head. i stopped amazed.
walking down the stairs i saw 1 shoot past me. i got to the bottom of the
stairs, laughed and went back up. another, or the same, orb flew past me again
going up the stairs. i have never seen an orb with my naked eye before and have
only recently found orbs in our home movies from the townhaus. well i found no
leaks to explain the missing water, and closed the house up.
it was early evening when mike from michiana ghost society returned my calls. he
asked if i had heard about the scratching? "no, i've heard nothing, what
happened?", i asked . he said, that right after they got there one of them heard
voices telling them, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no". they heard footsteps
running up and down the stairs, twice. then they heard sniffling on the stairs.
one of the women with the party went up the stairs and "felt" a little boy on
the stairs. 2 of the party were "brushed" and 2 were"touched on the back". they
saw a round black shadow on the wall at the top of the stairs.
the times herald stayed untill 2:00 a.m. m.g.s. took 900 piks, and one of their
party was scratched on the back, 3 claw marks that drew blood and left welts.

PART 4


we're getting ready for michiana ghost societys' second visit, this saturday.
the problem with the waterline is ongoing. went to replace the heat tape that
absolutely wouldnt work. corda watched as i repeatedly closed the contact point
that lights up the heat tape. nothing happened, the tape had to have burned up.
until i brought out another piece of tape to replace the bad one. then the
burned out tape began working. checked it today and it's still working.. as of
friday night, rite now, as far as i know it's still froze. i'll go check it out
in the morning. m.g.s.said they'd be showing around noon. here's what andy sent
me from their last stay.
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 04:01:47 +0000

Bob,
Sorry you didn't my last email. We did get 14 evps(voice) 29 orbs throughout the
house. We did make contact with 3 spirits. One was a 4 year old boy who was hit
my a car in front of the house. Another was a woman who did not live or die in
the house, but said she worked there. The other spirit would not give up any
details except she hurt. There are not any evil spirits there, but one is a
nasty one. Let me know if you get this email. Thanks.

i talked to andy a couple nites ago and this is what happened.he's talking to a
medium from london ontario that is one of the mediums that wouldnt come to the
townhaus because they said it was in a bad area. she says that "the hider" wants
to know who was wearing red? andy says that he was wearing a red jacket. the
hider asks if he was wearing a red hat? andy says he was. the hider asks if he
would wear the hat when he comes back. now if this doesnt give you the chills,
imagine being in andy's shoes. called out by a spirit through a medium in canada
thats talking to andy in indiana about a house on harsens island michigan and
the spirits that are there. this medium has never been to my house.and i don't
know her and have never talked to her although i would like to. from what i've
been able to get. the hider is the 7 foot shadow that we see daily in the house.
it hides in the attic. i was talking to my son that spent some time living in
that room, yesterday, he said that he woke up nose to nose with a face of an old
man. he pulled the covers over his head. he also said that the attic door flew
open and the shadow chased him out of the room. "dad", he said, "don't you
remember me telling you that every morning my covers and blankets would be under
the bed"?. he heard the footsteps coming up the stairs and the footsteps coming
into the room and would pull the covers over his head. we, sitting in the
livingroom would hear the footsteps coming down the stairs, look up and see the
shadow going across the kitchen towards the front door. we were sure that it was
terry, our oldest son. the room upstairs on the riverside was his from the time
we moved in. after he moved out we got suspicious. everynight we would hear the
footsteps coming down the stairs, see the shadow cross the kitchen. we even
checked to see if terry had been coming in the window and leaving by the front
door that we never heard open after the shadow crossed the kitchen. can't wait
for tomorrow night.
