We had heard of a light being on in the attic every so often. Being fearless, a group of my friends and i snuck up to the attic of Egan one night and discovered an office that had no stairs leading to the door. We climbed the ledge and entered the office, The phone was the older kind with the dial-spin, and papers looked old and yellowed. To us it seemed abandoned, and every time we snuck up there from that point on it never changed, even with the light-sightings. Shortly after, the access to the attic was barred off and the light sightings still occur.<BR/><BR/>There was also many stories of mirrors breaking in a particular room, and the girls that lived in it were unable to posses a mirror, because for some reason they always broke.<BR/><BR/>Living in Egan was fun, a lot of the girls believed to have seen the nun wandering the dorm (mostly the girls on the third floor near the office)<BR/><BR/>thank you for the story, it brought back some fun memories of ghost hunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-4598025523569429262008-08-16T15:05:00.000-04:002008-08-16T15:05:00.000-04:00Pastor Swope - your story reminded me of the ghost...Pastor Swope - your story reminded me of the ghostly nun at Borley Rectory in England where I grew up. Long since burned down - it was at one time considered the most "haunted house" in England. It was built on a monastery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borley_Rectory<BR/><BR/>My questyion is this: when a holy person such as a nun or a monk 'haunt' a place, does that mean that their face was not sufficient - that they are not in heaven? Where does grace and God's forgiveness end and a fate as an earth-bound ghost begin?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Rob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-41343204686012260712008-08-15T02:40:00.000-04:002008-08-15T02:40:00.000-04:00A sad tale, hers is, but at least she's not a male...A sad tale, hers is, but at least she's not a malevolent entity wondering around. However, who's to say there isn't some vile spirit up to no good regarding the ring of her's that might have manipulated the situation to drive her to hang herself? Perhaps she's guarding over the place in opposition to said spirit? Would it not have been better to maybe melt it down instead of bury it? I wonder...quite a few questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-10048882405912353282008-08-13T22:36:00.000-04:002008-08-13T22:36:00.000-04:00Thanks for the insightful account about Mr.Taff An...Thanks for the insightful account about Mr.Taff Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I have always said that the paranormal is always around us but we have to actually be watchful and take notice. Rather than have the phenomena coming from outside projected to our mind I think all people have a ability to be responsive to certain paranormal phenonema but it can be dulled by the stresses of modern 21st century life.<BR/><BR/>A lot of the Missionaries that I have talked to that have shared their paranormal tales have come up with a similar hypothesis. It seems the more 'simple' the life in a particular region the more paranormal phenomena is taken as a part of everyday life. The skeptic would say it is primitive superstition but the Missionaries themselves are constantly amazed at what they encounter in certain regions of the Earth.<BR/><BR/>I think in Mr.Taff's story everyone in the room probably was in the right frame of mind to see the phenomenal experience. <BR/><BR/>I also think you are spot on about some phenomena being limited to the human eye, just as EVPs are limited to recorded medium.Pastor Swopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008265694116146151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-22096444219422479122008-08-13T22:23:00.000-04:002008-08-13T22:23:00.000-04:00Thanks for the Comments Mlfoley and Cryptidsrus,Ve...Thanks for the Comments Mlfoley and Cryptidsrus,<BR/><BR/>Very tragic. But it is good to see that the curse ended with the ring and she seems to be very benevolent to the current students according to all accounts.

Not sure if you've seen the movie The Entity but it was based on a case he examined. Anyway, he mentioned a instance during that case where there were many people in a room who witnessed a green light take the form of a face on a wall. Everyone was interviewed immediately after this happened and their stories all concurred. He also said numerous pictures of the face were taken. But when the film was developed there was nothing there. Now how can something that was visible to more than a dozen people in a room not show up in pictures? I'm not saying paranormal phenomena does not exist, and Taff and his team did catch some phenomena on film so I think it can also be caught on film, but could there be instances where very real phenomena is visible to us but invisible to the naked eye. Could we be witnessing phenomena from another dimension or phenomena that is somehow projected in our mind? Any thoughts on this Pastor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-41138112261050351002008-08-13T14:14:00.000-04:002008-08-13T14:14:00.000-04:00Great story, Pastor.
