Ghosts

My dogs are going nuts again. Time to play my favorite game...intruder? ghost? or just plain crazy?

Looks like our little ghost girl is back again. My daughter has seen her and now my younger son. She likes to play in my bathroom...make random things fall, make tapping sounds, close the door. I'd put some some toys out for her but my kids have already done that. Every. Fucking. Where.

Does anybody ever look at the photos for a Zillow listing and come to conclusion that the property is haunted?

Or you just know where the bodies are buried. It's the "extra storage space" shed. They're always under the damn shed.

rogue stoner,

im almost jealous. it's been calm around here as of late. but i know here before too long something weird as frig will kick in & i won't be jealous no more. weird how that is but when you've had basically a lifetime fulla this stuff, i think you begin to expect it & when there's a dry run for even a month, you're like, what the frig? do something you bastards.

just watch i'll be having some stupid ass shit happen any moment now. 

oh here he comes now with caramel corn (it's an inside joke for a special someone)          

I agree. As weird and unnerving as the  active times are, when it's calm, it's too calm. It almost feels lonely, as silly as that sounds. And I can't control any of it nor understand most of it. Today's a very active day. A bit overwhelming.

how so is today's activity overwhelming? the dog's going nuts? 

Ok, so most of the activity happens in my bedroom (excuse the phrasing ) and on my balcony. That's my special spot...where I smoke, text, post, "write", contemplate, feel, pray, listen to music, and see figures walking by. From a wall to the edge of my balcony and disappear. I joke that it's become like a portal. Anyways, the best way I can describe it is...imagine you're in a dark room. As you make your way through, you can sort of feel that you're near a person even though you can't see them. That's what I feel. And my body feels like it's vibrating. (Go ahead, degens...have at the jokes )  This morning, walking through my house was like walking through a crowded party. Physically it feels a little like walking in a pool. It affects me physically. Nausea and such if it's negative. Sometimes I'll just burst out in a huge grin if it's good. The talking part is like when you recall a conversation in your head, each participant has a different voice, tone, style. That's how I hear them. Although there have been times I've heard them audibly but muffled so I couldn't understand what they were saying to each other. My body was visibly shaking when that happened. 
Pros: A person pops into my head, I pick up my phone, within a minute or so that person texts or calls or posts. Pretty convenient.
Cons: Getting vibes about people or sometimes glimpses. Some don't take it very well. I get it. I still pray for them. 

Wow. You caught me on a strange night. I usually overshare but I really opened up here. Oh well. Let them think I'm "disturbed". I know what I know and that's all I need. 

Tomorrow is my friend's funeral. My daughter wants to go. She insisted on drawing a picture to give to Serena's mom. She asked for a cross necklace and we lit a candle and she said a prayer for her. 

Damn. Tomorrow is going to be tough.

Why don't skeptical ever have these experiences?

My theory is that it's like a spectrum and people fall in different spots. I think everyone has the capability to be somewhat sensitive but most people tune it all out. (They're not as masochistic as I am ). 
Skeptics also explain everything away or just ignore it. Weird noises get explained away as the house settling. Or just tuned out. I'm choosing to tune in, after having ignored all of this for years. 
It's not that I look at everything as supernatural. But if I can't explain it, I don't just ignore it anymore. I guess enough has happened throughout my life that I just can't ignore it anymore. Believe me, it's no picnic. 

rgambs said:

Sensitive to what?
Light?  Sound?  Temperature changes?

Skeptical minds process these stimuli as well as believers.

Yes, I guess it comes down to what they attribute them to. 

roguestoner,

it is true what you said - it's no picnic , but quite a gift. if i shared what i believe i would be laughed out of here, therefore i try & tone it down some. 

when i was 4 or 5 years old i had this dream, well, at least that is how i comprehended it to be. then it vanished from my thoughts & memory for decades until my mom mentioned it. bam, it was like being under hypnosis or something. it literally kicked my brain in & flashes of this event came crashing in just as they did decades ago. im my opinion this was no dream, it was a reality of some kind. i know it was real as it lines up with something. i'd rather not go into details & i am sorry about that.      

pjsoul,

you may get to become one.

I don't believe in ghosts.  That stated, I don't believe in any religious figures either.  Ghosts seem just as likely as gods -- people that believe in ghosts get a bad rap when I consider that....since most of the world believes in a god (or gods) they never see.

Was in Charleston, SC last month and it seemed every place we visited was said to be haunted. 

I do hear creaks and shit like that constantly in my house, but growing up in a 200+ year old house I am used to a life of explaining things away, like RS says.  It would have freaked me the fuck out as a kid to be alone in that huge, noisy-ass, house at night, and to think those noises were ghosts. 

One of my best friends growing up, his father routinely saw someone in their house.  I stayed over lots and lots of times but never saw anyone.

I am OK with not seeing ghosts (or gods) if they are real.

I would like it if my dad would come down as a ghost and hang out with me.  I guess we couldn't drink together but I could drink enough for 2.

You and me both, F Me.
