Episode Details

Good evening, it's Spooky Boo Rhodes also known as Nightmare's Mistress on YouTube. This week is Ghost Week on the podcast and today I have for you five stories from across the internet about ghosts and hauntings that are assumed to be true. This week I dedicate the episodes to my brother. Leif passed this week from natural causes. He wasn't much of a horror fan like I am but he did enjoy ghost stories. I'm a bit shocked and numb most of all torn apart. We'll all be ok though because he was a good man and a very talented musician. I am very grateful and proud to be his little sister.The first story is one I grabbed from Leif's Facebook page. It, strangely enough, showed up on my timeline around 3 this morning. Another weird thing that happened since his passing, the other night I was watching a movie to try and get my mind off of the event of his death so I started watching Rob Zombie's Halloween, something I hadn't seen before and something that wasn't so involved with emotion. While watching the movie, I felt what seemed like a hand on my left shoulder. It actually felt like a person tapping me for comfort. I looked to see and of course, no one was there then I felt a sensation of comfort and warmth all around me almost like a color or a vibration actually saying "everything will be okay" and when I looked again nothing was there. I then felt calm and serene. I know it sounds weird but it is really hard to describe. There were no outspoken verbal words, but the feeling was verbal. That was my spooky experience as of late. I'm sure it was my brother or me hoping it was while my mind was playing tricks on me.

I am a fairly skeptical and analytical person. At a young age I was quite convinced that people who claimed they had seen ghosts were 'hysterical' and/or lying and that I would see aliens/UFOs in my lifetime.I am 57 now. I have never remotely seen anything I could identify as aliens and nothing I would classify as an alien craft. However starting in my very late teens I have had experiences I can only classify as supernatural and/or 'ghost' hauntings.I also attempt to define scientifically anything I have seen/heard/felt and of the times I think it was possible, a good portion of them were possibly in my mind. However there have been a few times where I am pretty sure there was something going on.After my brain injury and subsequent stroke, those kinds of 'feelings' went away and I went years without an experience. But I have had two in the last month, one of which I am quite sure.I install high end HD cameras. I did a job about a month ago up in the NorthWoods of WI. It was actually a new pole barn style building but filled with collectors items. A museum if you will. The power was out all day. So I had roll up doors open as I installed this system. The thought or feeling of that type never even occurred to me. But at the end of the day I was wrapping it up and had closed up the building.I had brought power in from my vehicle inverter to operate the camera system and program it. In an adjacent room I was watching on the screen, a fog began to develop in patches and then ultimately coalesced into a figure. On video or still cameras th
