I've had a few supernatural or unexplainable experiences
which I have submitted in the past. Usually, these
experiences didn't concern me too much (except The Visitor-
I now know that was nothing more than a sleeping
disorder). However, recent events have me a bit rattled
and I'm not so sure what to think anymore.
It is fun to think you might have a spirit in your house.
You know, the one who is always leaving the light on or
taking your keys when it is actually you who has forgotten
to flip that switch or put down something and you just
can't remember where. We've all done that. Sometimes we
even give these 'ghosts' a name. Well, here, we call him
George. My husband thinks it is ridiculous and from his
viewpoint, I can't blame him. After all, I am a bit, well,
odd. BUT I didn't actually believe "George" was real.
Now, I'm not so sure.
We have had a bit of a problem with electrical gadgets
lately. The toaster blew sparks at my younger son (that,
however, is explainable-the toaster was gettin' a bit old),
lights have been left on without anyone turning them on (or
so the boys say-hmmmmmmm-take that one with a grain of
salt), my garage door stops midway when opening or closing
it (ok! now, that one is odd!), the thermostat has gone
nuts (I'm clueless on this one) to name a few. Really
strange!
I was sitting on my couch, just channel surfing on the TV.
It seemed a bit too cold in the room so I asked my older
son to read what the thermostat said (he was standing next
to it anyway). He said it read 68 degrees but was set to
90. I never set it that high! EVER! I told him to lower
it. He did. Then I felt a cold draft coming down from the
corner of the ceiling. Thinking it was just my
imagination, I asked my son if he felt it. He said only
where I was sitting. He checked the fireplace, the window
and the door. None of them produced a draft. But there
was definitely a draft.
A little while later, the room got uncomfortably hot.
Again, I asked my son to check the thermostat. Now, it was
reading 88 and set again to 90! At that point, I turned
off the heater completely. I don't know why it went
berserk.
This got me to thinking about the other strange stuff. Not
just electrical either. Both my registration and insurance
card for my car were missing from my glove compartment and
I KNOW I put them in there. I wouldn't neglect those
important pieces of paper. But then something very
upsetting happened.
I had some errands to run. When I came back, my oldest son
told me he had some trouble with the door leading to the
garage. He said he was trying to come back inside the
house when the door slammed shut on his chest, pinning
him. He couldn't seem to open the door. It was as if
something was holding it against him. I asked him if one
of the dogs was in the way. Nope. How about your little
brother? Nope, he was upstairs playing on his
Playstation. Could it had been the wind? Well, the wind
had shut it a couple of times prior to his entering but
this time, there was no wind. Huh? I needed more info.
Start from the beginning! Ok. He was taking out some
garbage (we keep our garbage containers in the garage) and
the garage door on the left was open. He had closed the
door but the wind had slammed it open again. Ok. So far,
nothing too extraordinary. The door sometimes doesn't
close all the way. Then it slammed shut again. Hmmmm.
Might be wind but he said it slammed harder closing than
opening. Odd. Then, he went to go back inside, turned the
doorknob and pushed it open, got halfway inside when the
door closed forcefully on him. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt.
I don't want to over-react and start panicking. I don't
like jumping to conclusions as I may be totally off-base.
However, I'm wondering if there really is some sort of
presence here. I'm more worried for my children's sake
than my own. IF (and that's a big IF) there is a presence,
did it attack my son? If so, now I have reason to be very
worried. 'It' may not be a friendly spirit. I don't
know. I wish I did.
OR this could all be coincidental and have nothing to do
with the supernatural.
I'm goin' BONKERS here!
