We have some unusual activity, which has been experienced by various guests to our abode. (I welcome your comments, if you'd like. Charlene especially, as she refuses to use the W.C. because she swears someone is watching her. Our ghostie is a naughty tart.) The most enjoyable activity we have discovered recently is our plasmic friend's mimicry. Mostly in the form of the back door opening and closing. This happens at the most opportune moments, like when I am in the bath. Last week, my sister and I were sitting in our living room when we clearly heard the door open and close, then the tinkling of keys. As I was sitting directly across from the door I was aware that no one came through and the door remained solidly closed. Interesting!
This mimicry includes voices. Sometimes, my roommate will hear my voice in the house, when I am very clearly not home. Once, she heard what sounded like an old woman; scratchy and low, saying, "wake up". Right in her ear. My sister hears shuffling in the hallway, as if "he" was pacing. (The un-dead have lots of worries.)
Occasionally, my paranormal friend will shake my bed violently. I'm not sure if this is because my friend fears that I shall oversleep, being late to work and then being fired which would make my ghostie homeless... Or me homeless. Either way, my ghost has a far reaching sense of the future.
I'm really not sure what this blog is about, I don't have any how-to's; how-to know if your house has extra, unseen residents or how-to evict the spectral. You can always google the answers. You can google just about anything, I've discovered. I just thought you might enjoy a little tale of the un-dead. I am also hoping that the scariness will prevent visitors. I'm a hermity grump.
Yeah, it does a lot more than just go "bump". It turns into you and says random things like "Has to go to the angels", and it moves things. And it touches me. And yes, when "she" told me to wake up, I certainly did. I was SO awake, in fact, that I didn't really sleep the next night either. Just in case...because she sounded angry about the fact that I was sleeping. Maybe it's because she was jealous. Do ghosts get to sleep?
ReplyDeleteI wonder. I would assume that they could do whatever they wanted. However, I would be so excited about flying and walking through walls, I might not sleep all that much.
ReplyDeleteI would spy on people. Not in a creepy, I'm-hiding-in-the-bathroom sort of way...in a less creepy (though maybe not less intrusive) I'm-listening-to-everything-you're-saying sort of way. Yup. Aren't you glad I'm not a ghost?
ReplyDeleteI swear that your ghost watches people from the tub... Remember that time when I made you go in the bathroom with me because I was too scared to go in alone?
ReplyDeleteAlso, there are like a bazillion photos withOUT balloons in them that have the random, floating orbs in them... So, your "reflection off of balloons" theory has just been shot down.
You have ghosts.. And I'm naming them Herman and Estelle. :-)
That is so awesome Char. I am going to walk around the house yelling, "STELLA!!" all the time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should make them Jewish? Stella and Morty sounds better. "Stella, Morty, where are you?"
