Hi all,
Just found this site and thought I'd sign up! There aren't nearly enough irish paranormal sites out there so I'm delighted to have found this one.
I've been interested in the paranormal all my life. I've had a lot of experiences, as has my Mum, so maybe it's been passed down to me. Despite my interest and my experiences, I would still call myself a sceptic. Not necessarily meaning that I doubt what I've seen/heard/felt, just that I don't know what it is and that I try to be as rational and logical as possible.
The first experience I remember having goes back to when I was about 3 or 4 years old. It happened in Donadea forest park, just outside Celbridge in Kildare. I was there with my Dad and my brother (who is a year older than me) We were going for a walk through the forest when my brother noticed an old tractor just off the track and being a huge fan of anything mechanical, wanted to go play on it. At this point I noticed a little boy playing on the tractor and said something along the lines of 'You have to wait til the little boy is finished' to my brother. The tractor would only have been about 15 - 20 feet away from us, but my Dad, standing there rubbing his eyes, saw absolutely nothing. My brother seemed to see the boy at this point and the two of us stood there, watching him and waiting til he was finished playing. My Dad was fairly unnerved by this. He even started walking over towards the tractor to see what we were staring at! At this point I said 'Oh he's running away now' and my brother headed off and climbed up on the tractor. There was nothing strange about this at all to us, it was exactly like waiting our turn to play on something in a playground. My Dad saw and heard nothing and he told me years later that he couldn't wait to get us all out of there! He also told me that I mentioned as we were leaving 'the boy in the yellow tshirt' but I honestly don't remember anything at all about how the boy looked. It was a long time ago!
Interestingly enough, I have always found Donadea to be a really creepy place. There's a definite feeling of being watched as you walk through the forest and I don't like the atmosphere there at all after it starts to get dark. I also have a lot of photos of 'orbs' from here (although I really don't know what 'orbs' are, if anything!) I'd love to know if other people have had experiences here but I have no idea of how to go about finding out!
I have had so many experiences over the years (and from all over the country!) and not enough time to type them all out now but I'll certainly share them if anyone is interested.
Thanks for reading :)
