I live in Altoona, PA. We have a few ghosts and such here. In fact in one of TAPS first investigations was here. I used to think that there was never going to be the kind of ghosts that one discovers around every corner in this small town, but now I'm not so sure. A friend of mine and myself are somewhat perceptive of the paranormal. He (I am sure) is nearly half psychic and I behind by a long shot, but I do sense things now and then. I usually will get sudden chills down my spine and at first I thought them to be normal chills that everyone gets once in blue moon, but this was different once I sat down and thought about it. MY chills last much longer and are unusually intense and then my feet start to get cold (which is something that has been developing for some time). If anyone can explain what this is please comment.
Another experience that I have had is very new.
My family and I have a very large side yard that used to be the location of a house. It had been torn down years before we moved in to the property next to the demolition site. Some of the concrete foundation can still be seen. Back in 2005 we put in a bark chip play area with a swing set that has a little risen fort and a slide and rockclimer. When it was finished there was never anything unusual or paranormal, but as of late (around yesterday and today), when I was cleaning the kitchen I heard the sound of the swings' chains clinking as if someone were slowly swinging back and forth. When I first heard it I thought it was the wind, but upon closer inspection I noticed there was no wind blowing. The swings were stationary. I acknowledged it somewhat to an extent, but the next day, when I heard it again I knew something was up. I experimented by listening out of a window and I still heard it. I even listened out of every window that was on that side of the house. I told my mother and one of my brothers, but they thought I was being silly, which is usually the case with such things.
Years ago we had our house blessed for we are extremely Catholic, but never the yard.
Any suggestions for further personal investigation would be greatly appreciated, as would any ideas of what the activity may have been caused by.
