A seance was held in an effort to communicate with a dead civil war soldier. There was a lot of weird stuff happening at the seance, including flickering lights, shaking plates, sulfur smells, demons and things like that.

It happened probably in 2007, Winter semester reading break. The property has 3 dorm buildings, I was lived in the center building of the buildings, the paranormal activity happened in right side building. All of Canadian students went back to home at the time, I and my international student class mates was drinking at one of the student’s room with talking creepy ghost story or experience. When I was talking about my story that happened in Japan, then suddenly everyone heard that women laughing creepily. However, my friend her room mates are all gone to home, and other students also almost no one at the residence. my friends thought I did, but I did not.

I have been working at Platos Closet in Anchorage for a little bit of over a month and I have started to notice more and more paranormal activity. It happens usually at 3 a.m. when no one is here and we catch things in the morning. It used to be a few sounds here and there but today 4/30/2016 at 3 am our trash can lid was lifted off and thrown on the floor. I have video footage I would love to send you guys if you are interested. We have had a couple signings of a bleach blond hair teen that wonders the store late at night when no one is here and we are closed up for the night.

Charlotte went for a short hike to the rock bluff over looking the camp ground. When she returned she told me that while she was sitting atop the bluff she was startled by a cowboy who walked up behind her, Charlotte said to him ” I’m sorry but you just surprised me” the cowboy tipped his hat and said “I apologize ma’am” Charlotte looked away for a second and when she turned back to talk to him he was gone!
There were no other boats at the dock. Charlotte said the cowboy had a big western mustache and was wearing a full cowboy coat like in the movie tombstone.
