Countdown to Halloween

by drahomira

************************************************

I recently went "ghost hunting" with some of my siblings

in our old house that we believe is haunted.

***

In this house lights have gone off and on,

drawers have opened and closed,

and feelings have been felt.

There may be a logical explanation,

but it is way more fun to imagine

that someone beyond is trying to communicate.

***

We had a little tape recorder and realized

that the tape stops when we aren't talking.

After a second trip with the problem fixed

we didn't catch much....

*

except...

*

someone said,

*

my name.

*

"sara"

*

for reals dog!

*

and then we heard

"he's going to hurt us"

*

which some of the group believes

was Jessie talking.

*

But in my professional ghost hunting opinion,

*

was not.

*

I don't like anything super creepy or dark,

so to keep things light, I kept saying things like,

*
"Go towards the light"

*

"We are all here in love"

*

"bla bla bla, sunshine and lollipops, bla, bla, bla"

*

just to make sure there was always a good presence.

*

As we were leaving,

it sounded like a big rock was thrown at the deck,

which could have been an acorn falling,

*

or a bird tossing out a twig,

*

or a mouse playing baseball,

*

but truly,

it was a great ending to our fun crisp october evening.

***************************************

We have had several family members pass on,

and I believe they are watching out for us

and protecting us.

It isn't easy to get spooked when you know

they will kick anyones trash that tries to mess with you.

***

When we were in Scotland,

I was walking through an old room in the ruins

of our ancestors castle.

I suddenly let out a big burp,

thank you fish and chips,

and was totally embarassed because someone

had walked into the room and heard me.

***

When I turned around to apologize

no one was there.

***

I had definitely felt an energy following,

so thick that I was sure someone was right behind me.

But I was totally alone in the room,

or was I.

***

I like to think it was a distant family member

who once lived in the castle just checking up on things.

This picture was taken in one of the rooms.

That's a prop hanging in the middle,

but check out the energy swirling around.

cool.
