Hello, I am Denise Goodman; I'm a single mother of five beautiful kids and live in Oklahoma City, OK. I have lived in OKC for 10 years now. Since I have become an Oklahoman; I have gotten my BSBA from the University of Phoenix, I work for a great company as an office administrator; and best of all I am divorced.

 

 

I was born July 22, 1965 in Wingdale, NY. My mom and dad only stayed together for a couple of years then divorced; my mom remarried, and my Sister Noelle and Brother Steve came along.

 

I stayed in Wingdale, NY until I was 18; then joined the Army. I was in the Army for 10 years. I have also lived in Germany, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, and now Oklahoma.

 

I have always been interested in the paranormal, since I was young. I loved horror movies, magic, the occult; anything that could not be explained by religion or science.

My first experiences began when my friends and I use to play in this old house on the corner of my neighborhood. One day I decided to take my dog in the house because we kept hearing noises, and knocking in the walls. When I picked up my dog to take him inside, he began to whimper; as I got closer to the door, he yelped, bit me, and took off running. We never went into that house again.

 

I have awakened to the covers being pulled off of me; all the while, someone or something was whispering my name.

 

Another incident happened when I was staying with my sister; who lived by herself; I woke up in the middle of the night to find a shadow of a woman standing in the doorway of the bedroom. She was wearing a long skirt. I yelled to my sister; she answered from the other room; so I knew it was not her. I put my head under the covers and screamed for my sister again; I peeked out of the covers, and the woman was still there. I screamed that someone is in the house; when I poked my head out of the covers the woman was gone. I ran to my sister's room, and we searched the whole house; no one was there.

When my oldest daughter was six months old; we were at my mom's house in upstate NY. We were alone in my mom's house, and my daughter began to talk and laugh at someone or something in the room. She held her arms up for them to pick her up. No one was there. Three of my Children, Demetria 21; Christopher 11, he is a twin; my youngest Giavanna 8; I have witnessed them talking and cooing to someone when they were real young; and holding out their arms wanting whatever it was to pick them up.

Before my ex and I divorced there was a lot of anger in my home. Any time emotions escalated the lamp in my living room, which is still in my home now, but not my ex; would flicker uncontrollably. My oldest daughter brought it to my attention; I did not believe her; it happened a few more times; I then moved the lamp to another part of the room (hoping that is was just the outlet), changed the light bulb and forgot about it; until another fight between me and my ex. When the fight started my daughter yelled mama look; and the lamp was flickering, it was as if someone or something was trying to communicate with me. When the fight stopped so did the light. From the time my ex left my home, the lamp has not flickered again.

I have had my grandmother and my father who have both passed come to me in dreams and ask me how I am doing.

Finally:

 

I joined FindersCreepers to explore and learn more about the paranormal field and all it entails. I also hope to help others understand and put their minds at ease when they come across something they cannot explain. I know how it feels to question yourself and your beliefs; and not trust what you are seeing, hearing, or feeling; until you can talk to someone that has been in your shoes; and confirm that you are not alone.
