We found your web page very interesting. It contained alot of good
information. I was glad to see that you don't deal with UFO sightings
within this web page, I do believe that there are other life forms out
the re but they definitely need to be seperately talked about. They
do not belong classified with along with the paranormal. I have dealt
for several years with different kinds of ghosts. I have assisted
spirits with the cross-over through gateways, have encountered
poltergiest, good and bad, and have had very clear communications with
several on an on-going basis. I am usually exteremely careful
talking to people about my gifts because closed-mindedness can be
exteremely dangerous for those of us who have been blessed.
Fortunately my boyfriend is very open-minded about the subject
although sometimes very confused. I also have a son who is very aware
of the presence of spirits around him. I would be very interested in
receiving e-mail from anyone who has experienced the paranormal
and anyone who has had experience with healing. e-mail

GREAT!! **** I'll visit again. My only suggestion would be dividing
issues geographically. Other than that this is the best page I've
seen!

Obiwan, a shower of congratulations! This is a greater site every
time I come to visit!
Something I am sure a lot of us afgs-fans would like to see
in this site is some more credit to yourself. i.e.information
from the maintainer of this site: you.
Add things like:
- personal paranormal experiences
- why/when did you start as an afgs reader/active-participant
- State where you live and related hauntings
- put back the mice/cats pictures! And add some more...!
- add a counter for guests visiting this site.
Well, you get the picture...
And finally, thank you for giving us this great site!
Best regards // Arturo Sanchez, Saltillo - Mexico.
Obiwan notes: Thank you for the compliments, Arturo! :-)
I really appreciate the comments from long-time readers like you. I will
try to address your points above. I haven't had many paranormal experiences.
You can read about one of them in the story entitled "Bowling Ball" in the
Story Archives.
I started reading a.f.g-s in early 1993 (gulp... almost 5 years now! I'm
feeling old!). I suppose I started reading it because it sounded interesting
to me, since I have always been interested in ghosts. I now live in
California. I haven't experienced any hauntings here, but I enjoy dragging
my husband and child around to haunted places like the Whaley House. The pet pictures can still
be found at http://www.lido.com/ (for now
anyway). And finally, I used to have a counter on the old version of the
page, but ditched it with the revision. Maybe I'll add one again sometime
if I find one I like. :-)

If they gave awards for the most informative spook site, I'm
positive this site would be given highest honours! Alas, as it is I
can only throw cyber laurels to you. Thanks Obiwan, for your
perservance and committment to the pursuit of ghost exploration and
inquiry! regards Zubrovka

I really like reading these stories. Everybody says that if i read
stuff like this, i'm inviting spirits in. Is that true or are they
just trying to scare me? If it is true, what kind of spirits am i
allowing in? Please send me some feed back on this so i will know a
little bit more about it
Obiwan notes: I am no expert, but I don't believe you are inviting spirits in just
by reading ghost stories. Of course, you never know, but I wouldn't
worry about it too much if I were you. :-)

Obiwan, I love this page!!! But when ya gonna add my story I sent a
couple months ago? And how will I find it? Keep up the good work!!!!
Obiwan notes: I am always working on adding stories. However, because I get SO
many, it seems I always have a huge backlog to go through! Therefore,
it may take several months for your story to be selected to appear on
the page. Whenever I add stories, I always email the authors to let
them know where they can find their stories. Thanks for the submission!
I do appreciate them even though it takes me a while to get to them all!

I became a lurker a few months ago and I rush home from work every day
just to read the Khalloween story that is posted daily. Some of these
stories scare the jeebies out of me......and to think they are all
real.
Keep up the good work and kudos to the submitters. Your stories
really do put a top to my day.

This website is very easy to navigate, and it is always interesting
to read of people's experiences in thier own words. As an old-timer
in reading about, and dealing with the paranormal on a daily basis,
it is refreshing to see that the internet has allowed people to
describe thier experiences to a sympathetic audience, and those
experiences are there for others to read and share. I remember the
days back when there were only Hans Holtzer's books to turn to when
one wanted to read "true ghost stories." Keep up the good work.

nothing like a UFO good old fashion paranormal page! There is so much
stuff about UFO's all ready, there was no need.
I agree with whoever mentioned that more information about the page's
owner would be interesting.
The page is very interesting with all the storys and informations and
the list very worm and friendly so that we feel confortable to talk
about paranormal phenomenons wich, of course, we don't feel
confortable to talk to just anyone about.
Thanks for all of that Obiwan.

I really like this page! I haven't had any "paranormal experiences"
or anything, but i think that they're very interesting. I live in
St. Louis and there's this mansion called the Lemp mansion. I don't
know the story behind it and wanted to know if you've heard of
it. If so, could you put up some info on it? You're website is great
and keep up the good work. Thanx, Callie.
Obiwan notes: Sorry, I have not heard of that particular
place. If you find out anything about it, let me know!

After reading the "article" on Bloody Mary, I feel I must make a few
comments. First, I was told Bloody Mary is Mary, Queen of Scots. She
is to have killed many people during her reign, and thus received
the nickname "Bloody Mary." She died by her people revolting against
her and savagely killing her.
Being female, this "rite of passage" came my way when I was 11 years
old. The way I was instructed to see Bloody Mary was as follows:
Young girls stand in front of a mirror in a bathroom (we always used
the public restroom at our school in the morning before school
started). You were instructed to close your eyes, turn around five
times chanting "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary." When you turned around
five times, you open your eyes, and Bloody Mary is supposed to appear
to you in the mirror with a thick fog around her. This can also be
performed chanting "Bloody Finger, Bloody Finger." Your are supposed
to see Bloody Mary's hand in the mirror.
For lack of imagination, I never saw either. When I asked my mother
about this "rite of passage," she offered the following explanation:
Because public restrooms are supposed to be clean, the cleaning people
use alot of disinfectant, which smells. Because your eyes are closed
and you are turning around, your senses are somewhat blurred, which
is to cause the "fog" effect. Finally, with these two situations
occurring, and the bathroom is dark, it is difficult to recognize
your own reflection in the mirror. Thus, it is basically your own
reflection in the mirror which is being construed by the strong odor
of disinfectant and the slight dizziness that has occurred from you
spinning.
Like I previously stated, I never saw Bloody Mary, but I had a few
nightmares about her.
