Meeting Linda!


Upon arriving at Linda Decker's door, there stood a huge smile attached to a beautiful, friendly face! Linda was everything I'd hoped for, in a new friend! She seemed tall, compared to my 5'4", frame and wore her shining, grayish blonde hair, cropped short. This only enhanced her lovely face and sparkling blue eyes! Her kind personality shown through straight away, and I felt very good 'vibrations', like a soft humming sound, standing next to her.

Linda quickly invited me in, and we started talking as if we had known each other for years. Her three Pomeranians, took their familiar positions in the living room, as we settled into our face to face conversation. Linda then explained to me, that this was the new home, she and her husband Don had recently moved into! Linda began by explaining all the unusual happening, she had experienced, since we had last spoken by phone. It seemed the house she now occupied, had a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and lately, there had been little activity concerning the so called spirits. However, the story that Linda was about to reveal, was one of the most horrible experiences anyone would ever speak about!

Linda began by telling me that she had asked around her old neighborhood, if anyone had experienced anything out of the ordinary inside their homes? At first some were hesitant and seemed not to know what she asked, yet a couple down the street from Linda's home, said that they had been experiencing red liquid running down their walls, at one time. It seemed this liquid looked something like blood! Another friend and neighbor of Linda's explained that she had a spirit of a man, who would go into her kitchen every evening, and turn on her water facet. She could hear this 'man' open the kitchen cabinets, and even hear him pick up a glass! There was never anything to be seen however, upon observing this matter, from the kitchen door! This was as far as Linda was willing to go when questioning the neighbors, and she came to the conclusion, that possibly she and her husband Don, were not the only ones experiencing strange phenomena in the area!
Next, Linda began explaining that in the last house, she had began having a Native American spirit appear in her kitchen! Bare chested, painted with a few feathers in his hair, he had kind eyes, and smelled like cherry wood smoke! This man seemed so familiar to Linda and finally after several appearances, she asked him his name. He told her that his name was Night Hawk! After awhile Night Hawk's appearances seemed to be on a regular basis, especially when Linda seemed frightened or ill. Now Linda would explain the horrible experience that had finally driven her and her husband from the their last home.

One afternoon Linda had been sitting in her recliner, watching television, when suddenly, out of the kitchen came running an angry looking man! Linda had thought someone had broken into her home, and looked in horror as this man raised an axe over his head, intent on getting from the kitchen to Linda, sitting in her chair! She screamed and felt a pain in her chest, as Night Hawk suddenly appeared by her side! The man with the axe then disappeared, and until then Linda did not have a clue that this 'Axe Man' was from the spirit world!
"It was all so real and terrifying!' Linda explained. After this experience, Linda and her husband fled the home! They moved just as soon as they could find another one!

Linda did explain to me that she had seen Night Hawk appeared once again, in this new home, and she knew he was a guardian of some sort. I felt a bit relieved to hear that Linda had his support from the 'Other Side', as in my experience Guardian Spirits, are much more effective at getting rid of dangerous or angry spirits, when needed.

Later that evening, I would, along with Linda and Don, visit the last home they lived in! The home where the Axe Man lived!

Linda Decker- Dreaming


I had assured Linda Decker that I would Dream about her predicament, for three nights, and report back to her. I ask her not to tell me anything about the history of her house site, or anything about the town in which she lived, as I had never been to Danville, IL. I have the unusual ability to sleep, dream, and see what is happening in remote places. Most times this works but sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why I am able to do this, it simply happens.

The next three night were filled with strange scenes, strange people, and sites of frightening degrees!I went to bed, and simply asked, "Is there anything for Linda?" I guess that God, my higher Power, or Prime Creator, would fill me in. In the strangest of cases, being genuine in nature, I am never disappointed! The Decker's case was no exception.

Upon closing my eyes, I began to see a long room, with a recliner, next to a patio door. A bald man sat in the recliner, and through the door, seemed to be a deck of some sort. The man in the recliner seemed to be very comfortable in this room and liked sitting in this chair. I then saw another man, tall, slender, with dark eyes and a very stern look upon his face, as if he were angry much of the time, looking from inside the room, out upon the deck. Standing beside the man, was a boy child. He too, looked out from the room. The boy looked to be about 6 or 7 years of age, blonde hair, big blue eyes, average build, and what seemed to me, to be a worried look upon his little face. He looked sad, and somewhat frightened.

The next night I went to bed and upon closing my eyes, I found myself looking upon what seemed to be a battle of some sort. White men, women, and children, were running, and there were Native Americans riding horses and also running. All whites were dressed in colonial clothing, or so I recalled, and both Indians and whites, were battling for their lives. Arrows, guns, horses, screaming, and the dead, were what I recalled! It was as if, I had felt the emotions of fear, dying, and anger, all night long, and I awakened exhausted!

The third night, I saw little more than a couple of cute, little dogs, and the graves of the dead. I had no idea what this all was to mean, or how important it would become!

I again spoke to Linda by phone and related what I had seen in "Dream Time". Linda then told me that the unusual activity in her home, had now increased! She had begun seeing a little boy appearing in her living room and the guest bedroom of her home. The boy looked worried and Linda sensed he needed help. She had no idea what sort of help we could provide, but since she and Don had begun searching for a new home, it was more important that ever for me to make a trip to the Decker's home. 'Someone' had also begun hiding her car keys and throwing them at the back of her head, when she would ask for them back, just to name one unusual event! Linda told me that her nerves were frayed and she did not know how much more time she could spend in that house! I told her I would be there in a few days!

The next few days were a whirlwind of activity! I couldn't wait to match the soft voice, that sounded like the tinkling of crytsal on the other end of the telephone, with the face! With directions in hand, I set out to find Linda Decker, the most unusual woman I would ever meet!

Linda Decker 2

Most people with whom I have made contact concerning paranormal activity, have told me that this phenomena started for them, in childhood or after a traumatic experience. Linda Decker's journey into the realm of the paranormal, started after an accident.

Linda lived in Washington state, and one rainy night decided to drive a co-worker home. The same bridge she drove over twice daily, had unbeknownst to Linda, become washed out due to the heavy rains that day. On the way to work, Linda noticed the water rising as she crossed the bridge, but never imagined that it would actually rise up and over her only way home.

Late that night after work, the rain beat down upon Linda's car, and everything around her seemed to become foggy. The air was heavy as it filled her lungs and the sound of the night seemed wrapped in the unknown. Linda drove on as she noticed her male companion, clutching the dashboard, and looking out the windshield, searching for possible danger. This was a 'Two sets of eyes" night, and both people were needed to navigate the road. The bridge was coming up around the bend and Linda had no reason to think it anymore dangerous than the road she was driving on. She was wrong!

The water was black, as the road she drove, and there was no warning when the car began to leave her control! As quick as a flash the car became caught up in the raging river, and Linda prayed as the car sank deeper and deeper, all the while struggling to breath! She couldn't think or reason, survival fight kicked in! Her companion was no where to be seen, as Linda miraculously freed herself from the car. The raging water took on a life of it's own as Linda fought the Water Dragon, for her life! Reaching out as she was thrown up against the bank, Linda grabbed for anything she could hold on to! She tried to get hold of branches growing from the muddy banks, but the first time the branches just pulled away from their slippery hillside! Running out of strength Linda struggled to hold onto her sanity! Linda prayed and with a leap of faith, she held onto another branch, that was about to give way! Suddenly, a hand appeared and grabbed her wrist, as the second branch floated down the river!

It was her male co-worker and companion! He had escaped the waters, and quickly ran to the other side of the bridge, where he saw Linda struggle! "Thank God!" Linda thought, as she heard muffled sirens from far off in the distance. Someone else had watched the scene in horror and had obviously called an ambulance. Linda, began to shiver as if she had just given birth, wet and covered in mud, she wondered, "Who had called for the ambulance.?"

It was a miracle they said, that anyone survived the accident! Linda agreed! Soon strange things began happening everywhere Linda went. People appeared seemingly out of nowhere, yet were strangely out of place. Different fashion, different speech, as if they were all playing parts in a secret play. Even as Linda drove past cemeteries, she would notice, certain people who sometimes sat upon tomb stones in broad daylight!

"What nerve!" Linda thought!

Linda Decker- Haunted



I first met Linda Decker, when she wrote me by e-mail to ask certain questions about what was happening in her small home, she shared with her new husband Don. They had been experiencing all sort of unusual phenomena, such as banging on walls by an unknown rapper, lighted orbs floating all around the house, and even faces showing up in the TV when it was set on off. At one time they even unplugged a lamp as it kept turning on and off seemingly by itself, but this did not deter the lamp lighting! Linda also on occasion saw a woman whom she called 'Camille' wandering in her hallway.(see picture) Linda said she did not fear the woman, and Camille always smiled at her.
Next they began to experience faces showing up in mirrors, and quickly disappearing! At one time I told Linda to put a pad of paper and a pencil upon the kitchen table, and just ask out loud, to be given the message that whomever it was, wanted to convey. This only lead to messages of "Die' and other such nonsense, that some entities find amusing, in order to scare residents they wish to run off! Linda hung in there until the same paper she read the word 'Die' began to flame while she held it in her own hand! This was the last straw, she said, and I would have to come to visit and see what was to be done, about this strange situation!
I have experienced unusual phenomena all my life, and had seen much worse that what Linda described, happening in her home! The main thing was to keep both Linda and Don, from being so fearful, that they would never win this battle, they were having with this unwanted, and mostly unseen visitor!
