UNION HAUNTING - Personal Tribulation of DEZ
This is the personal tribulation of Dez who is an
active member of the PARA-FORUM.
"Fifteen years ago, my husband and I lived in a malevolently haunted house.  Not long after
we moved away from that house, a very dear friend and her family lived through a
profoundly horrifying haunting of their own, and I shared many of their experiences
first-hand.  Although I am one of those folks who has had "strange experiences" all of my
life, the experience of these two intense hauntings ultimately caused me to devote a great
deal of my spare time to reading, surfing the Internet and doing other research in hopes of
finding an answer over the past many years.

I was scrolling through some true experiences on the "Shadowlands" (Dave Juliano's site)
about two years ago, when Steven's story caught my attention.  The sincerity behind
Steven's story struck me -- he was not seeking attention for himself, and he did not
embellish or glamorize the story.  It was clear that this was the experience of a man who
previously had no reason to believe in hauntings, who was confused and upset by his
experience, and who was worried and angry because unexplained and apparently
malevolent phenomena were causing serious emotional and physical harm to those he
loved.  He was not looking for an interview in the National Enquirer. He was not trying to
get on the Jerry Springer show.  He was looking for answers, for a solution, for help.  Here
was a rational person looking for a rational answer to something that was not rational at all,
yet it was real, and affecting himself and those he loved.  In between the lines, I could see
that he was looking for verification that he was not crazy, that he was really experiencing
these things, and hoping that he would be believed.

It was almost like I was reading my own words.

So I responded to the email address that he posted, and I said something to the effect of, "I
don't know how much I can help or what I can do, but I have been through a couple of
malevolent hauntings, and I see dead people too, and I believe you, and you are not crazy."

We began to correspond, and so did several other people, and soon Steven had an online
group going, and soon people began to share pictures from the Union house.

What has affected me the most about the photos, EVPs and stories of the Union house is
that these things have an intensity that is so strong, it can affect a person several hundred
miles away just by viewing the pictures or hearing the EVPs.  I am not a highly suggestible
person -- my first reaction to anything weird is to look for a bad foundation, air in the
plumbing, raccoons in the attic, headlights from the highway, ANYTHING normal which
could have made that noise or shadow.

Even though I have never been to the Union house, I have reacted profoundly to many of
the images and audio captures from this home.  I have become physically nauseated,
experienced headaches, and picked up on such malevolence that I had to shut off the
computer, leave the room, and even leave my house for awhile to clear my head.  

I have looked at countless ghostly images captured on film and listend to a zillion EVPs.  
Sometimes photos and EVPs from other locations give me a chill, but nothing but the Union
house has affected me so profoundly.  I have no idea why.  

While I accept the presence of spirits of the dead, I am ordinarily highly skeptical of claims
of demonic obsession or possession.  I think that far too many active hauntings are too
quickly classified as demonic.  I have always believed that nearly all hauntings, no matter
how intense, are manifested by dead people who have failed to make the passage to the
other side and who are trying to get our attention here in the real world.  Perhaps it is a
murder victim whose killer got away with it, or whose body was never found, and who
needs closure.  Perhaps it is an unhappy spirit who died before important life tasks were
complete.  Maybe it's someone who just does not realize they are dead.  But I do believe
that most hauntings are just plain old dead people, and I have experienced a few animal
ghosts as well.  

I don't believe that the Union house is simply one or more unhappy dead people.  I do
believe that spirits of the dead are trapped in the vortex of the Union House, but I believe
that the cause of the activity at the Union house goes far beyond a group of dead folks.  

I believe that the Union house is possessed by a profound, powerful and very dangerous
evil presence.  I do not believe that this house is fit for humans or companion animals to
live in.  

I do not believe that this house is fit for cockroaches to live in!  

I am not even confident that it is safe to rent out for storage space.  

I am glad that Lorraine Warren is involved at this point, and I hope that the house remains
unoccupied, forever.  Board it up and leave it to rot.  If I were the landlord, I would donate
it to the fire department for a training burn, except that I would be afraid that a firefighter
trainee would be hurt -- not by the flames, but by what resides within.
