The Haunted Farmhouse
Georgia - 1969-70
By Doc Howard
One of my earliest memories of "bumping" into ghosts happened about 30 years ago. It was shortly after my brush
with death and the resulting near death experience that I noticed I was a lot more aware of their presence.
My then wife, Barbara and I were visiting a psychic friend of ours name Georgia H. in upstate New York. Georgia had
a wonderful old farmhouse built in the early 1900's. We had gotten to be quite good friends as I had been to her
house on numerous occasions attending the different programs she presented. Georgia is a gifted psychic and
teacher, someone I really enjoyed talking to. We had just stopped by for a quick visit and were chatting at her
dining room table when the ghost appeared.
Where I was sitting I could see the front door ahead of me and slightly to my right. Behind me and to the right
were nothing but the walls that connected the kitchen to the dining room. You can imagine my surprise when I
suddenly saw this tall skinny old man WITHOUT his head carrying a lunch box come through the wall behind me! He had
come through the dining room wall and into the kitchen, oblivious to us sitting there.
Noticing the expression on my face, Georgia asked me what I had seen. I had seen many ghosts before but it was
unusual to see one so clear in the daytime and I guess it showed on my face. In those days, I wasn't too quick to
tell people some of the things I saw. I was raised at a time when you were committed for telling people you saw
ghosts or talked to them and were labeled crazy or insane.
Well Georgia would not leave it alone, she insisted that I tell her what I saw.
"OK, I saw a tall skinny old man WITHOUT his head carrying a lunch box, come into the room through the wall and go
into the kitchen." I know you are probably going to have a problem with that, but you asked" I was surprised when
she looked at me and calmly said "Oh yes, he comes home about this time every day." She then commenced to tell me
about the many times during the programs she held that different things occurred. Some of the girls would get
pinched at the table, or hear voices and laughter coming from upstairs. Evidently, it was a pretty active house.
She also told me she had seen him (the ghost) come home in this fashion for many years. Not many people had been
able to "see" him, and she appreciated the confirmation I gave her.
I don't encourage people having contact with spirits. I have found that if a person is having contact of some kind,
and that includes seeing, hearing or feeling ghosts, the spirit is asking for help. I try to ascertain whether they
(the ghost) wants to stay or go to the light. If they are not bothering anyone and want to stay, I leave them
alone. If they are lost or confused I help them into the light or back to their origins.
There have been numerous times through the years when I have been called in to work with healing on an individual
to find they have an association with a ghost. When you allow yourself (on purpose or not) to have contact with
ghosts, you can and do recreate the very symptoms the ghost had when they were alive. When I have cleared up the
spirit, the symptoms usually clear up also.
