WITH MY OWN EYES A GHOST STORYby Chris Holly  (Copyright © 2010 Chris Holly)

Both boys stood silently looking at the other while the pounding shaking door seemed to be knocking and shaking on its own. The boys bravely flung open the door to look inside the bathroom. It was empty. They then ran the water in the shower and sink and tried hard to repeat the noise. Nothing happened. They searched inside and outside the house yet found nothing that would cause the door to be pounded in the way that it was. The two young men were confused and quickly reported the event to the rest of the family.
A few days passed when my friend was home in her kitchen with her oldest son who was the boy who was in the shower during the first incident. Suddenly they could hear hard loud knocking coming from the back of the house. They followed the noise to the end of the house where the first incident occurred. When they searched the house once again they found nothing out of the ordinary.
The loud knocking continued with an incident occurring every few days. The family continued to search their property, check the pipes, and check for construction problems to try to find the cause of this strange happening. They came up empty handed.
This is the point I enter the picture. Beth knew I was friendly with a psychic who was sensitive yet rarely used her gifts as she was not always able to receive information. Rather then disappoint people she simply kept her abilities private. Beth wanted me to bring the psychic to her small farm to see if she could sense anything odd going on.
I told my psychic friend about the happenings at Beth’s house and asked if she would like to take a ride over to the horse farm to see if she had any feelings about the place. I was very surprised when my psychic pal agreed right away to go. I didn’t know what to think of it, as I never knew my psychic pal to be a horse lover or animal lover.
I arranged to take my psychic friend to Beth’s horse farm during the afternoon when most of the family was out. My psychic friend wanted to visit the farm with as little commotion as possible around so she could concentrate on the energy around the place.
While driving to the horse farm my psychic friend warned me she most likely would not be able to pick up anything at all. She did not want me or Beth to be disappointed. She also told me that she was not use to being around animals like the horses and did not know if she would be able to pick up anything in this type of environment. I told her we did not have our hopes up and just wanted her to take a quick tour of the farm.
We arrived at Beth’s farm. I entered the long road that drove past the house and back to the paddocks and open areas of the farm and barn.
My psychic friend became silent. As we drove past the house she yelled for me to stop. I jammed on the brakes and watched as she sat silently looking at the house. She then told me to drive on. I drove past the chickens, past the goat’s fenced area and on to the barn. Along side of the barn was a large fenced in paddock with two horses in it. A pinto and a big brown horse with a white stripe on its nose. Both horses stood munching feed out of large feeding pails.
The psychic yelled for me to stop. She startled me with her demand. Once again I slammed on my brakes. She sat silently looking out her window. She threw open the truck door before I could react and climbed up on the paddock fence. The psychic beckoned to the large brown horse with an arm gesture while softly calling for the horse to come to her.
I sat without making a move watching as the large brown horse ran over to my psychic friend. She pulled the head of the horse to her face and started to pet and talk to the animal. They stood together for a few minutes like that until the psychic told the horse to show her something. The horse turned and trotted over to the opposite corner of the paddock near the entrance of the barn. The psychic jumped back into my truck and directed me to drive over as close as possible to where the horse now stood.
The psychic once again was out of the truck the moment I came to a stop and was back standing with the horse. The psychic knelt near the horse and ran her hands over the ground by the corner of the barn. This went on for about five minutes. She then stood up and walked into the barn. I got out of the truck and went into the barn after her. She waved for me to stay away. I stopped and waited at the entrance watching as she examined every stall and section of the big long barn.
