Ghostly Presence In Vancouver British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Hi Brian. Seems like Halloween will quickly be upon us. I don’t know if you are planning to invite people to write into you, re. any ghostly or unusual happenings again this year but a few days ago I recalled an incident which happened to me back in the mid 70’s I believe either the summer of 75 or 76. I thought I’d sent it to you a few years back but don’t see it listed. I know I did sent it to the late Graham Conway and he was kind of interested but that was all that came of it.

Summer 1975 or 76, approximately 4:05 a.m.

At the time I was working as the security supervisor on the graveyard shift in Pacific Center Mall located in downtown Vancouver, B.C. We used to rotate positions each hour. I had just been relieved at the security desk at 4:00 a.m. and headed out into the mall.

At that time of the night the mall was usually deserted so as I passed Holt Renfrew I stopped to admire a jacket which they had on display. The price appeared to be $40. So I had been contemplating coming back on payday and purchasing it.

I had only been there for a few moments when a little man came walking out from behind a rack of clothes. He was short, probably less than 5 feet, he had reddish hair with sideburns and was wearing a green bowler hat and a long green coat with tails and looked for all the world like one of Walt Disney’s Leprechauns.

At almost the same time as I saw him, he happened to glance my way and looked visibly startled to see me. We stared at each other for a moment and then as I grabbed for my radio, he grinned at me and with a little wave of his hand disappeared behind another rack of clothes in front of me, to my left.

I quickly radioed the desk that we had an intruder and to get the police. Within in minutes we had four officers and a dog. I told them what I’d seen and then took them to the back of the store to let them in. I had the guard on the desk report to the Alarm Company that we were entering and then I shut of all the alarm systems.

As the officers and I entered the store we couldn’t help, but notice all the alarm detectors and we all were wondering how anyone could be moving around without triggering them. I took them to where I’d seen the little man and the dog was let loose.

It only took a few moments for the dog to check out the store with negative results. While the dog was running around I took a closer look at the coat of my desires.

Turned out the price tag had been partially obscured by a fold in the coat and it was $400, not $40. So much for that dream. I let the officers out the rear door and then reset all the alarms and met them back in the mall. They were all shaking their heads and looking at me kind of sideways.

I walked them back to the main entrance to the mall and saw them on their way and then after speaking to the guard on the desk returned into the mall. Once again I paused in front of Holt Renfrew and once again the same little man appeared from behind the clothes rack where I’d last seen him.

Again he stopped for a moment and gave me a sly grin and then raised his hand and gave me the famous one fingered salute and then stepped behind the same rack where I’d first seen him.  Once again I radioed for the police.

The same four officers showed up with the dog and once more we went through the procedure and once more the dog searched the store with no results. By this time even the dog seemed to be looking at me sideways.

Once again the officers were looking at me and shaking their heads. I assured them I was not sleepy and had not been hallucinating but they were still shaking their heads as they walked back to their cars. Thank God I did not ever see the little man again while I was working that location.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting story.

Ghost Stories From Ontario Canada

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Hi Brian, we have a couple of ghost stories amongst my family members and my husband and I.

1. When my Mother was a child, her my Grandmother used to chastise her for throwing a ball up and down the stairs leading to the second floor of the house. My Mother wouldn't stop it, and she stood at the top of the stairs and let the ball drop so it would bounce down the steps. My Grandmother appeared at the foot of the stairs before the ball arrived and all of a sudden it bounced  back up the stairs to my Mother. My Mother was a mere child, I wasn't even thought of then, but it freaked her out so much that she told my Sister and I this story when we were youngsters.

2. Another story that my Mother told my Sister and I, took place when our Mother was but a child. She was with her Grandmother and Grandfather, my Great Grandparents and all of a sudden they all heard the wolves outside. My Great Grandmother opened the door and threw out some salted pork, the howling eventually stopped, this was in winter, it was later in the night when suddenly there was a knock at the door and it was a man who was begging for a drink of water.  My Mother has often wondered if that man was somehow responsible for the howling that had taken place earlier in the evening.

3. My Mother-in-Law died and she has been talking to us via our coffee makers ever since her ashes arrived in our home.  We have gone through many coffee makers and have found no other excuse other than they are being used for some unknown soul to communicate with us. I know it sounds weird, but every coffee maker would make buzz noises long after the brewing was done and we'd say, "hi mom!" and the buzzing would continue for awhile. Some coffee makers were not even plugged in and would turn themselves on. My husband and I witnessed that, spooky eh? 

4. In one of the houses we lived in, I was in the basement where the laundry machines were and I was reaching for an ashtray when all of a sudden it slide across the counter and to my hand. There was no condensation, wetness under the ashtray, nor was the counter on a slope. Lightbulbs were always bursting in that house too.

5.  We  have moved from the above mentioned house and I'm un aware of any ghost visits, our new coffee maker will at times flood the counter with coffee when there's no known excuse for it not to fill the carafe instead, between my husband and I, we can't figure out what we have done to cause the flood, it's really irritating, also this new coffee maker doesn't buzz at all, it just makes messes. hehehe.

BOOOOOOOOO!

Poltergeist Experience In Northeast Kansas Town

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

As a child, my family lived for five years in a turn of the 20th century home in a small town in northeast Kansas. There were multiple experiences over those five years in that house. Most of it was of a poltergeist nature, with objects unexplainably falling over of their own accord. 

On one particularly noticeable occasion, my brother and I were watching television, in the middle of the afternoon. At that particular time, the television was situated in the corner of the family room, facing in the direction of an archway, and beyond that to a wooden staircase that led upstairs. 

As we were watching television, out of the corner of our eyes, we both witnessed the same event. A picture that was hanging on the stairwell wall, halfway up the staircase, came sliding off the wall downward at a 45 degree angle, and crashed onto the landing at the bottom of the stairs. 

On another occasion, our mother witnessed the sound of a little girl crying in the middle of the night. As we had two sisters sharing a bedroom, she went to see which of them was crying. 

She actually walked into their room twice in response to the crying, only to find them both sleeping soundly. When she returned back to her bedroom on the third trip back, the crying sound moved down the hall, and came to a stop at the door of her bedroom. 

She could hear the crying sound, but could see no one standing there. Our family dog, who had been sleeping beside my parents bed, suddenly began to growl, looking in the direction of the door. To this day, some 40 years later, we are all still firmly convinced we lived those few years in a house that had a ghost presence. 

Recently we have shared these experiences via email.

Thank you to the person for sharing this interesting, a freaky story.

Large Orange Globe/UFO 10 Feet Above The Water Gatineau River Low Quebec

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 23, 2007

Time:  Approximately  10:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: At cottage, Gatineau River, Low Quebec.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.

Full Description of event/sighting: A friend and I went out on the deck of my sister's cottage to look across the bay to see if we could see my daughter and son-in-law at a friend's bonfire across the bay. It was pitch dark as there are very few cottages around as access to the river is limited.

The river along there is not straight, as it was flooded over 100 years previously to facilitate logging. There are lagoons, bays, islands and many curves. In a couple of miles of river between the dam at Low and Lac Ste Marie, there are only a few cottages, mostly in 2 small bays, and near Low along one side of the river only.

The other side being fairly inaccessible. It was a beautiful night, with the water appearing as a midnight blue in contrast to the almost black of the large tree covered hills across the way; the sky was another shade of dark with what appeared to be thousands of stars up in the sky. There was a bonfire across the bay, but other than a small light on in our cottage, it was dark everywhere.

I was enjoying the view of the hills at night, so I glanced away from across the bay, to view the river to my right. Then I saw it. It was not as high up as the stars, but looked to be at about the height of the hills or maybe higher. It was the most beautiful orange globe of light, almost like a ball of fire, but it was close enough that I got a good look at it.

It seemed almost like those pictures taken inside volcanoes, light moving around inside the globe like different shades of orange, yellow and a hint of blue, almost twisting inside like intestines and the strangest thing was that as bright as it was. It cast no glow outside its' sphere or onto the water.

It was almost like looking at a snow-globe of fire just sitting there above the water, it was also quite large, about the size of a hot-air balloon. I was just awe-struck and thought to myself, take a good look at this, this is just incredible, you'll want to remember this. It stood still for about 2 or 3 seconds and I was too numb to speak.

I was shocked when it suddenly moved, or more like darted at super speed to form what was like the first stroke of a W, to just about 10 feet above the water, pausing for only a split second, darted way up again, forming the second stroke of a perfect W, darting back down again as per the third stroke of a W , but this time when 3/4 way down, did a split-second pause and darted left at a downward angle, then right at a downward angle, then darted as per the last stroke of a W, but at a little more of a wide angle, and darted out of  view.

It happened so fast that by the time I yelled at my friend to look, she only saw it for a moment as it paused for a split second during one of its movements, but instead of continuing to look at it she turned back to me and shouted something like What on earth was that, a UFO which surprised me as she is such a down to earth lady, brought up on a farm, and even she knew this was not something normal.

It took me a while to really talk about it as people just wouldn't understand what I was talking about, but I saw it and it was definitely not of this world.

Thank you to the witness for the excellent report of what was witnessed.

Black Delta Wing Shaped UFO Over Penticton British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  Late July or August of 2003.

Time:  9:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, I think what you are doing is a wonderful thing.  I have been interested in UFO's ever since I was a little girl,  but had never seen anything that I couldn't think of an explanation of until the summer of 2003.

Sorry I can't tell you the exact date, but I believe that it would have been in late July or August of 2003, maybe even the first week of Sept.

I was living in a converted garage in d/t Penticton at the time and had gone out into the back alley to let my dog do his biz. It was after 9:00 p.m. and it was dark out, but there was still a faint glow in the sky. 

Facing east, I suddenly noticed that what looked like a black delta wing aircraft appeared in the sky, flying at about 1000 feet, heading north and completely silent.  It was so unusual - sometimes it was only visible by the streetlights reflecting off the underside of it, or by the shape of it obliterating the lights of the stars.  It flew very fast - covering the available view of the sky in just seconds, and gained altitude as it flew off to the northwest, still never making a sound.

My father was an airplane mechanic during WW2, and I grew up around the knowledge of aircraft as my Dad continued with his interest in aviation for as long as he could.  I know that there are a lot of distinctions to make in aircraft (hi wing/low wing, etc.) and this was something I was not familiar with, other than the delta wing shape, and the black coloration. 

I almost thought that it could be a stealth bomber, but for the fact that it made no sound.

Anyway, thought that this might be of some interest to you.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you to the witness for their report.

A Son Relating His Father's Story 1975 Loring AFB UFO Incident

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Brian Vike’s Note: Below is an excellent letter from a son who's father served at the Loring AFB back in 1975 when all heck broke loose when many military men observed an unknown object over the base. The military personal who witnessed the event were questioned by people from the Air Force as "someone" wanted to get the facts, then pretty much wanted the entire event to go away, not to be talked or discussed again.

This really is another case where an unknown object has penetrated base security and the base going on full alert and not being able to deal with what was happening in the sky above them. They certainly tried from the letters I have received from eyewitnesses from the base, but everyone on the AFB was pretty much helpless to do much of anything.

There are more military people who have not come forward to give their accounts of what took place that night. Maybe if more folks would finally care to write and share the details on the UFO sighting, it would be most welcomed and very helpful in trying to find answers. Please note, when writing to Brian  your personal information will never be given out to anyone. It stays here with me.

Thank you, Brian.

Date:  1975

Message: I was reading your page on the 1975 Loring AFB UFO incident and got a little chuckle. My father was a security policeman with the 17th Security Police Sq, and was on duty the nights in question. For several years after I learned of the incident, my father as well refused to discuss it. About a year ago, maybe longer, he relented and told me what went on the first night.

The object in question, he refuses to call it an UFO, was silent. It had suddenly appeared over the weapon storage area and the alert aircraft from nowhere. He was a NCO and was getting calls about the UFO and headed over towards the WSA and the weapon assembly building. He climbed up a bunker and stood there, slack jawed, and did nothing. After a few minutes the wing commander was roused and came over to the same bunker and along with his staff officers, tried to figure out what was going on.

He asked my father what the hell was going on and why he hadn't called this into the tower. My fathers response was that he had called the tower and they told him he was full of sh**, and they wouldn't wake the wing commander because as they saw it, there was nothing there. He was surprised because as he put it, the light was blindingly bright. 

There was no way they couldn't have seen it. He also told them that he was getting calls from all the posts, roving patrols and even from the gate about it. The wing commander called up the tower and asked them to verify the light. They immediately denied it. The commander then told the NCO in the tower, 'If the eagle on my shoulder see's that light, then those stripes on your damned sleeve better see it to." 

They immediately, albeit a little dumbfounded, said that that they saw it as well. The whole incident this night lasted some time more and then was over. My dad went back and filled out the log with the entire incident and started a report on it as well.

He was actually off the next couple of days but was aware that the incident was being looked into as drug smuggling. He says that is total bull. The object was dead quiet, had appeared and disappeared with little or no warning, came and went as it chose, and stopped or slowed no where else but the airbase and it's weapons storage area. 

They even chased this thing with some fighters sent up to Loring. I think he said they were Air National Guard F-106's. They never caught up to it. The helicopters there were not just Canadian but many from the Air Force. He heard from his friends on duty that the base big wigs were getting alot of pressure to resolve the matter.

He came back on duty a few nights later and nothing happened that night. That morning a couple of men from the Air Force came up and started questioning everyone who had seen the incident first hand. They were not told to be quiet by these men as they went through the investigation. When they finished, my father said that they came to his duty station to inspect the blotter and related paperwork. 

They then removed the pages from the blotter and the related paperwork and replaced them with new pages that did not mention the incident. My dad said he knew enough to keep his mouth shut and not ask why they were taking these pages. After that, the matter was closed for all intents and purposes. He later said, that while not told directly by any superiors, talking about the matter wasn't kosher. He then said that it became kind of like a joke.

This is my recollection of the matter and may be incomplete. But he doesn't talk much about this or any other of the things he saw in the Air Force. I'm not sure why, it has been over thirty years and I can't see any of it still being classified. None of the bases he served at exist anymore as operational bases. I hope this story is helpful.

Thank you to the person for relating an excellent account from his Father.

43 Witnesses To Major UFO Sighting And Creature In 1989 Fujian Province China

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1993

Time:  Afternoon 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: School play ground, Fujian Province, China.

Number of witnesses: 43
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Dark color, just like a Coca-Cola can-shaped.

Brian Vike’s Note: It is so interesting to receives reports from China, we don't seem to get a lot of sighting reports out of the country. So if anyone who had been living, or residing in China who has been witness to an unusual UFO sighting, would you please contact me with a detailed report.

Full Description of event/sighting: In the very beginning I thought it was a satellite because of it's dark color and can-shaped out-look. However, when it flew closer and closer and we did not hear any unusual sound from it, actually not even a sound.

It was close enough to observe it completely, and I was the first one who saw it. Then I asked others to figure it out, including my coach. But no one had ever seen it before. That object was flying from north toward south in a speed of near 50 kilometers per hour, and in the attitude of 500-600 meters.

And also I would like to share some experience that the people have got around me.

At a night of 1989, I was 6 year-old and at that night I was sleeping with my grandma. The mystery occurred at that night was that my grandma actually saw a creature, human-like 3 meters at height stand by the bed, and grandma was very afraid of that creature and didn't dare to switch on the light (the switch was really close enough to reach, well convenient for elder).

At a night of 1996, my cousin went out of his bedroom for No.2 , he stood at step of back yard, when he was doing his No.2, he realized a 1.8 meters creature with a tail before him, well that lasted 3 seconds and then he ran back room in haste.

In my culture, people are not allowed to point finger to the moon. When I was a child, my grandma told me once I point finger at moon, my ear would be cut by ? (I don't remember). Nevertheless, I didn't take it for real, and I did get a ridiculous wound at my left ear.

And finally, I do really think that UFO has something to do with earthquakes. I know that.

Classic Grey Flying Saucer/UFO 10 Miles South Of Ft. Hunter Liggett Army Base Jolon California

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date of Sighting: June 1998 (Approxamtlty)

Time of Sighting: around 9:30 pm

Location of Sighting: 10 mi south of Ft. Hunter Liggett Army Base, Jolon, CA

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Saucer.

Full Description of event/sighting: At the time of the sighting my ex husband and I were living in the hills of the Central California coastal mountain range. My husband had mentioned that, the night before, he had seen a strange light on the horizon in the direction of the army base, and decided to go out on the next night and try to see if it came back. After being outside about 1/2 hour, he called me outside and handed me binoculars.

I saw what can only be described as a classic saucer grey, like two inverted saucers stuck together, and a row of lights around the middle. The lights blinked slowly off and on, and they were red, green or blue, and white. 

This thing hovered low on the horizon, then shot off to the left in the blink of an eye and hovered there, then shot back and hovered, then turned on it's side, did some weird stuff (tip on it's side, then right itself again), and finally after about 5 minutes it slowly descended below the horizon.

Ft. Hunter Liggett Army base is an experimental testing base. I worked there for three years previously, and had seen things like the apache helicopters hovering still while shooting javelin missiles and whatnot, and this thing was not at all like anything I had previously seen on that base.

I thought at the time that the army had a working flying saucer and was testing it.  But I don't know, of course, and wasn't working there at the time of the sighting.

I have looked on the net and saw that there is an abduction story from a soldier stationed there in the late 60s.  It doesn't surprise me one bit.

UFOs In The Sky Over Vancouver British Columbia (Photos)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 3, 2006

Time:  Approximately 2:30 p.m.

These photos are from June 3rd, 2006. I had already been to Queen Elizabeth Park (Vancouver) once that morning to film UFOs. I may have caught something on film the first time around so after I downloaded that batch of items onto my computer I set out to film some more.

It was approximately 2:30 pm. At Manitoba St. and 20th Ave. I turned around and looked up to see a bizarre item that I will call the whitecap UFO. 

The most challenging part of photographing it was finding it in the viewer of my camera so I would use cloud shapes to center the photo in hopes of a clear shot.

One item resembles a dimensional tuning fork or a brush while the other looks more solid. 

They are photos of the same object. I watched for around ten minutes and did not get more than two useable photos. I watched until it was too far away to get another useful shot. I continued walking to Q.E. Park.

Unusual Looking Object/UFO In The Sky Over Vancouver British Columbia (Photos)

 

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 25, 2006

Time:  Daytime sighting.

On July 25th, 2006 I was sitting at my computer editing some earlier UFO footage/pictures when I looked out my front window and saw a  black bar sitting over downtown Vancouver. It began to rotate, slowly, and hide in amongst the light clouds that day.

This was the first time I had seen an object shaped like this one. If it was a saucer then I could only see the edge or side of it throughout the entire sighting which lasted for around 20 minutes. I stepped outside on to my balcony and called for it to come over and it did.

At that point I found myself as close to a UFO as I have ever been and I was awestruck. This was the most convincing moment I have had in my UFO experiences and I will never forget all that occurred. For instance, when the UFO was closer I asked it if it could show me some lights or something and so along the black bar appeared a pure, clear twinkling light that passed slowly across the blackness.

It was joined by another light and the two would move across the black bar, sometimes in the same direction, sometimes they would meet at center and then separate in opposite directions. You might think that I would have great photos or video of this since the UFO was so stationary, but  every time I lifted the camera to take a photo the ship would power down and the black bar would get very thin and the lights would  cease.

Then I would lower my arm and it would power up again. This happened a couple of times until I got the hint that this was a special moment not to be documented.

Out of 75 photos there is only one that shows some detail. The UFO seemed to have a friend, a small sphere that I was unaware of during the encounter. There is some video as well but not from close up. The sighting ended with the UFO simply fading out of sight in the exact spot that I had been watching it. Without moving or flying away it slowly faded out of my sight.

V Formation Of Objects Around (Mactaquac Dam) Fredericton New Brunswick

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  October 17, 2007

Time:  7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

 Location of Sighting: Mactaquac Dam.

Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 15
Shape of objects: 13 flying small orb lights V formation and 2 rectangular.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was fishing with some buddies at the Mactaquac Dam, when I noticed a somewhat rectangular object with 3 white lights on it that were also rectangular.

It was really big and maybe 150 to 200 feet away. It flew by and was hard to make out the body of the object, but the lights were clear, then it disappeared.

About 15 minutes later I saw another rectangular object with the same rectangular lights, only this time it was smaller and only had 2 lights. At first I thought maybe it was a large military craft, but it was kind of low as there were many airplanes in the sky and they were much higher.

Then around 30 minutes later I saw 10 orb like objects flying in V formation. Once again I thought it might be military planes, but they were moving erratic and at high speed.

Some of them would swoop out of formation and move in circles then go right back in formation again, and then disappeared. The last sighting was about 15 minutes later.

This time there was 3 orbs flying in V formation, but they were moving erratically. They would swoop in towards each other then move back to the V formation, then it seemed like they would become 1 orb then split into 2 then back to 3 in V formation. They also disappeared after about 1 min. I noticed that someone in my town reported a similar incident on Sept 8, 2007.

Shape of objects: Grey Metallic Disc.

Full Description of event/sighting: While driving south on Highway 410 and watching a plane fly in front of me. A metallic grey disc, very thin, but about the size of a mid-sized car flies past my vision of the plane and then surpasses the planes speed and is gone.

It lasted about 3-4 seconds. It was traveling rather low, a couple hundred feet above the ground and going from east to west along the Toronto Pearson Airports take off flight routes.

As soon as I seen it I told my wife, "look at that", while trying to get my camera out all while driving, by the time I pulled my camera out it was already gone. A few seconds more I would of had a picture of it.

My wife did not see it. This is also sighting number 2 since September 28, 2007. I will forward proof of that one soon. I am friends with (names removed). The next report I'm going to give you I have 3 witnesses whom also have agreed to come forward. She has a video and I have a video clip, also pictures of it, but this was also at night.

Please let me know how we can send you the pictures and video evidence. I will also send you 2 more photo's that will blow your socks off. Those were on different occasions. My friend's name who shares the evidence with me is (name removed). She will be sending a report to you as well.

Thank you to the witness for a super report.

Fireball Type Object Hovering Over Okanagan Lake British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 7, 2007

Time:  Approximately 1:30 a.m.

Hello, I just read an article in the Kelowna Capital News about some UFO sightings over Okanagan Lake last week.

Saturday night at about 1:30 a.m. (July 7) myself and two of my friends saw a similar “fireball” hovering over some trees that are visible from my back yard. This area is not directly over the lake but more towards Winfield.

It pulsed gently from yellow to red several times over about five minutes before fading out, flashing brightly once more and dropping straight down behind the tree line.

The only manmade object I might conceive it to be was a helicopter, but I’ve never seen a helicopter with lights this bright or this large. The pattern of light pulsations was irregular and not characteristic of an aircraft light or spotlight.

I’m wondering if anyone else reported a similar sighting last Saturday night. I haven’t been able to find a satisfactory explanation of what we saw. I wish I had a picture I could attach for you, but we could not get our camera ready before the object disappeared.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Family Ghost Story From The 1940s Onward British Columbia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Hi Brian, I will send you a separate email so you know who this story is coming from.

I noticed your category for ghost stories and thought I'd add a bit to your collection.  However please be forewarned, it is not dramatic. No chains or moaning!  More like just an unusual family member. 

My family has always had  ghosts.  As a young boy living in Vancouver and Alert Bay my father sometimes saw people who were not there and my mother once watched a group of people disappear right in front of her. She was 15 years old and walking down a street near her home in Vancouver. Coming towards her on the sidewalk but on the next block, was a group of about a dozen people. 

The first thing she noticed was their odd clothing, very old fashioned.  She then realized that although they appeared  to be talking and laughing there was no sound of voices or of feet on the sidewalk. They reached the corner of their block and turned down the side street just before my mother reached the end of her block. She looked around the corner and although they should have been just a short distance away there was no sign of them. For people who live in Vancouver this was in the Kits area around 4th and happened about 1930.  

 When  my parents married in Prince George in 1942 they built a house near the south side of Connought Hill. In those days that was quite far out of town and  very quiet, particularly at night. During the winter of 1943 the ghost arrived.

It announced its arrival by walking up the steps to the front door shortly after my parents went to bed. They could hear the footsteps squeaking in the dry snow as it came up the stairs right outside the bedroom window. No matter how quickly they jumped out of bed and looked out the window they saw nothing unusual. However within 10 minutes of going back to bed a hazy white light about four feet tall would drift past the bedroom door. It never seemed to do any harm and they eventually got used to it. 

In the summer they never heard it arrive but one of them would notice it go by and calmly comment that the ghost was back. Mom used to wish there was some way of getting it to do housework if it was going to be wandering around all night! Three years later we moved to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and dad built another house  that we lived in for 12 years. 

Sure enough, before long the ghost was again drifting  through the hallways.  Then for several years it was gone until one night I awoke to see it float past my bedroom door. The next morning my mom was a bit excited.  Before I could say anything about the ghost she said "Guess what? The ghost is back and this time I saw it take a shape!" She had woken up to see a white hand and arm reaching towards the bedside lamp.  Thinking it was my dad she reached out and turned on the light. Of course there was no one there and my dad was deep asleep.

We then moved to Victoria and this time we rented a house instead of building one.  It took the ghost about six months to join us. Over the years my parents rented four more houses before buying the one I live in now. Yes, the ghost went with us to every one of them. It was never more than just a white haze until the late 1960's. Then it took on a very familiar shape. 

One afternoon my parents were sitting in the living room when Timmy, our Border Collie, walked through the room and down a hallway toward the bedrooms.  As he went by he gave them a rather unusual look. A few minutes later they heard him barking.  He was outside and wanted in.  He never had been in the house and walking through the room. No, there were no open windows or doors. My parents checked! 

The ghost was changing and not always for the better! A few months later my parents were again in the living room when they heard a loud crash in  the kitchen. They found that a big bottle of wood stain that was normally at the back of one of the upper kitchen cabinets had somehow come out of the cupboard (the door was still closed) the lid removed and placed on the counter and the bottle thrown against the opposite wall. However, as that was the worst damage that it ever did, we all just accepted that it was there and pretty well ignored it. 

Just as an aside, around this time my parents saw two people disappear on the sidewalk outside the house. One afternoon they happened to notice four people walking along the sidewalk, two women in front and two men very close behind them. They were dressed in oddly old fashioned clothes and were bunched so close together that mom and dad thought the men would be stepping on the ladies dresses. 

For a very brief moment they were out of sight as a tree blocked part of the view from the house. All four went behind the tree and only the two women came out. The tree was near the house, nowhere near the people.  The women did not appear to notice the men were gone. There was nowhere the men  could have gone and dad even went outside to look. Nothing.

Many years later my younger brother was visiting our house with his wife and baby.  I was married  no longer living there. They were staying in the bedroom across the hall from my parents. During the night my mother suddenly awoke.  A few minutes later the baby started to scream.  Just as my brother got up in the dark to see to the baby, a basketball sized  ball of light shot down the hallway.

Immediately the baby stopped crying. Everyone was so startled they all got up and went into the living room. There, even with the lights on, they saw a couple of smaller balls of light bouncing near the ceiling in the corner of the  room. It was very brief and then they were gone.

As the years went by the appearance changed.  My mom died and dad still lives with us in the house.  He and I have both seen a new shape.  This one is shaped like a very narrow black hockey stick (not my idea of a ghost at all!) and darts around very quickly. 

I saw it first on Christmas Eve in 1992 but never mentioned it.  A few days later my dad told of an odd black shape he'd seen darting through the house. The description matched exactly what I had seen. Other than changing size from tall to very short it doesn't really do very much except run around.

As I said at the beginning, our ghost is not dramatic, thank goodness!  I would not be surprised if lots of people have similar "beings" but don't even really notice. However there were some rather strange, unsettling and dramatic events that took place during this time. 

One ghost (or angel?) even saved my life. Right now is not the time to go into it all but if you'd like I'd be happy to give you the details at a later date. Closer to Halloween perhaps! 

Now, in spite of the fact that I say the ghost didn't really frighten us, it is getting late, I am home alone and there is no light in the house except from the computer screen.  I think I'd best stop for now before I start to hear strange noises !  I'm not quite as brave as I like to think I am.

Thank you to the person for the wonderful Ghost experiences.

Large Black V Shaped Craft/UFO Over Windsor Ontario (Graphic)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Hey Brian, you have to ignore the diagrams in the photo, essentially it nearly recreates the night from my backyard. Incidentally the view is of the North and Northeast , but the big dipper was inverted over Polaris, April 29, 2007 in Windsor, ON. 

The large black V-aircraft  would have been 1/4 the size. It helps show a little detail about it's shape at this inflated size.

I had sketched the earlier event at 21:39 and was still looking up and around the sky when I saw in the northeast a pattern of 7 lights, focusing I recognized and made out the details of a huge chevron-shaped aircraft appearing very solid, still, black and looming low and ominous like an anvil in the sky.

It was truly bizarre to witness. I had the feeling it was motionless yet I could see a falling mist from the leading edges, I counted seven dim white lights on the underside  and yet it travelled forwards and disappeared from view in about  four seconds.

My speculations on this are:

1) It was a B2 Stealth. No. I don't think so. No navigational lights and this appeared quite certainly as a cubic/rectangulic V-shape. Anvil!

2) It may very well be some kind of military transport the type rumored on some internet  sites I've read that are designed to be heavy-equipment haulers/troop carriers and they are a new breed of low-speed but very large stealth dirigible. Hi-Tech Airship.

3) Someone's spying on Uncle Sam, but who?

Thanks Brian -for all your work in setting up and running this forum for people to share their experiences.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
