I moved into a studio apartment on 6th JPV St. in early July (2017). The woods are immediately behind the house/studio. I began having paranormal experiences and didn’t yet know about JPV woods. I asked my landlord if the place (meaning the house) has spirits. He didn’t think so but told me it had been a drug house before they bought it last year. I had light knocking on the door, with no one there, but knew it was similar to only twice before in my life. THEN I had a nightmare, where someone came into my studio through the window and held a gun to my head. In my dream I began praying out loud. It was very vivid. It is important to note that I did not remember having had a nightmare in many, many years. This seemed to me to be a warning. This was also in July. It was the 3rd week of August when a neighbor told me about JPV woods. Then it all made sense. (Funny note, my mother’s birthday is August 13th, RIP!)
What Happened.
What did the neighbor exactly tell you about the woods? I live in JPV and I’m so curious about this
