I don't know if I believe in the paranormal or not but these are the
stories I have.

1.  On two different occasions when I was an infant and we were visiting
    my grandmother my mother had set up one of the spare bedrooms as a
    sort of nursery for me when we visited. She had put me down for a
    nap and it had been an hour or so and I was still napping/quiet but
    she went in to check on me and claims there was a bat sitting on my
    crib on the headboard just above my head. She says it was middle of
    the day and my nursery had two large windows on two of the walls to
    allow quite a bit of light in. The second time we were visiting my
    grandma and I was napping she came to check on me she swears up and
    down that she saw a man dressed in black standing over my crib on
    the same side that the bat was on.

2.  In the same house, different room a few years later, I was probably
    about 5 or so. It was middle of the night and I woke up, I hear my
    grandmother calling my name. So I get up to go see what she needed
    and she is sitting up in bed and pointing to the foot of the bed and
    asks me if I see him. I don't so I say 'who grandma, there isn't
    anyone there.' And she was very religious, Catholic, and she claimed
    that at the foot of her bed was a Catholic Cardinal just staring at
    her. She passed away the next day.

3.  Years later I was 16 or 17 and same place, it's an old farmhouse
    that still sits on the 200 acres that were originally homesteaded by
    my great-grandparents. There is a part of the property out front by
    our gate (the house sits back from the county road about 1/4 of a
    mile) is a rocky/timber area (think Mesa Verde) and in the summer
    the large rocks are fantastic for sun tanning on. But at night
    coming in because there is very little light out that way, only
    usually a porch light from a neighbor that lives halfway up a large
    hill from our gate, the place sits in the bottom of a large draw to
    kind of try and give you a picture of the lay of the land. I always
    get this creepy, fear feeling driving in on really dark nights, like
    something really bad happened there. During the daylight hours I
    will still sometimes get that feeling but usually not as much. I
    have put the feeling at night to just the fact that there is very
    little light and the rocks and trees cast creepy shadows. Anyways as
    I was saying the large rocks are perfect for sunning. I had been out
    awhile and so because I'm not sure if I believe in ghosts/paranormal
    I put it down to sun/heat exhaustion causing a hallucination but I
    heard some branches move and a twig snap. I sat up looked around and
    I thought for a split second I saw a young male Native American
    wearing traditional war paint running through the trees, stopping
    for a split second like he was just as startled to see me as I him.

4.  Last one. My mom was driving us back to the farm through the no mans
    land on the old route 666 between Ship Rock, NM and Cortez, CO and
    it was probably fairly close to midnight, I was asleep and missed
    this completely but I woke up when she slammed on the brakes. She
    swears she saw a fox dart into the road and stop in the very center
    look at our vehicle and then it "melted" down to the ground turned
    into a snake and slithered off the road.

Now while I don't deny these are all creepy and weird I either didn't
experience them personally or the one I did I feel can be explained away
but you never know I suppose.
