weird........
- Thread starter Jena
- Start date
I would be so spooked. Then to deal with my kids' fears regarding this - I would vote for moving.hi
abbey you are funny i could use you here at night. andy i did look in glove compartment. he wasn't scary though the guy. kids just thought i decided to bring a client home. ok weird but their kids and that's what they thought lol.
we can't move right now, nothing's available if something traumatic occured we'd be out by tmrw and have to stay with-family and dealin the interim yet i am staying positive that this is not it's intention.

so, my continuing soga. you all must think i've finally bought it and have lost my mind lol. yet i truly have not.
i think i know who the kid in my car was, that the kids saw and that they kept asking who is that yet i couldn't see him.
a kid died on our property i think i had mentioned, there is a tree on our property that states his name and in memory of. he was a senior at the local high school easy child attends, him and his friend one night were driving and they crashed his body this boy's was thrown onto our property from the crash.
it hit me when easy child said i thought you were bringing a client home. i said a client? she said yea one of the kids from work a teenager that you work with.
so, i either live with-him or i help him get to the other side i guess. i called a friend with whom had issues with-her home as well she lives less than a mile away in an old colonial also. she said tragic accidents especially to kids they can't cross over, they remain in stuck mode and keep revisiting the site where it occured.
i know i must sound crazy as i'm typing this it sounds absurd. yet i guess in life we accept the living, yet there's a whole other realm that exists out there. it's the fear of the unknown and the bad rap ghosts have gotten i think that's truly flipping me out lol.
hey, maybe i could hang a new shingle cross over specialist??

Quid me anxia?
Doesn't sound absurd to me. Nothing seems mischievous yet. difficult child 1 swears that a ghost followed him down here from Maine. He kind of likes her....
I see you live on Long Island (husband is from Floral Park). If you don't live in Amittyville I wouldn't worry.

Jena, I would love to research the history of your house. Please pm me if you are open to it.

Now I'm gonna sound werid/crazy. But this is the reason I prefer older homes to new ones. New homes feel like empty boxes to me......void and lifeless. And older home is quite the opposite. It's like those who have lived there leave an imprint behind.
Our last home......like this one......was an old victorian. Very active house. I never got to have closed cabinet doors. Nichole had a little girl visitor on her bed. (liked to scare the pee out of both her and Molly) And I could go on.
I don't fear it. It could be a bit annoying at times. My grandfather shows up often. I always know him by the smell of his pipe tobacco. (no one else I know smokes a pipe.....and they don't sell the tobacco he used to use)
I think though I'd be saying aloud that messing with medications is not funny cuz the kids need them. Hopefully, it won't happen again. I had something similar with car keys for a while. But as long as the incidents are harmless, don't fret.
I wonder if this is the reason for the month to month lease. hmmm

LOL it may be the reason for the mos to mos. you guys amaze me with your stories. if i saw someone on difficult child's bed id' probably pass out lol.
i did tell him in a firm voice, listen to me i'm even calling him him now lol. i said do not touch her medications it's what keeps her well, and i love my cat you wanna mess with lights or other junk go right ahead you are def getting my attention yet not the medications.
wanna laugh my car alarm's been going off every night for some strange reason also prior to kids seeing him in my car we thought it had a short. yet it ended as soon as it began. now granted could be logical explanation but hey who knows.
boyfriend isnt' sure if it's him and he's a bit nervous about it. remember this is the guy who wouldn't pick up the mouse hello 210 lbs of him afraid of mice!! LOL
he said so many ppl have lived here though why would you think it's him? i said when kids die tragically i heard they get stuck and revisit the accident scene constantly i siad if thats him that's what he's doing. i want to help him. i dont' want ppl in here blessing house and messing with-him.
yes protective over the ghost. i'm def insane!!

Mom? What's a difficult child?
I was thinking along the lines of Abbey.
I have always been under the thinking that if you don't let them feel your fear they will have nothing to scare.
But then again I tend to have the "bring it on" attitude for the most part.
It may be wrong, but I have always kind of thought that, "Well what is the worst that can happen?" Heck you have been through so much worse!
No ghost can scare you!
Even if it does end up scaring the poop out of me, I at least try to take that attitude in the beginning!
What's funny is my Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is not over things like that! LOL
Stay strong and be the warrior you really are!

I also agree with Abbey. Although I've not as yet run into any to fear, either. And I've had experiences since early childhood. I can't judge other people's experiences but I often wonder if the scary stuff is either made up or caused by ignorance and fear.
by the way my grandfather must have known I was talking about him. I've smelled his pipe all morning. lol
But I don't necessarily think it's a "not crossing over" thing. Many I've known haven't had a reason to lag behind. It's more like visiting. Most especially with family members and friends. Maybe this kid is hoping to see his family, time may not pass for him the way it does here and he just doesn't realize they won't be showing up. Or maybe he thinks it's a pretty place and just like to hang around.
Crazy? Nope. I don't think so. People can call me crazy all they want. I've had too many experiences to just dismiss it as imagination, coincidence, or anything else people attempt to excuse it away with.
Not to scare you.......but with a house with the history of yours and it's age.... odds are you're having more than one visitor.

I'm like Lisa in that I much prefer older homes with a little character, a little history behind them. I just rent my little house but it's been here since about 1847 and up until my landlord bought it about six years ago, it had only been lived in by members of the same family that moved in way back then! And fortunately, it has been very well documented because it had been the home of a local Civil War hero. He moved here with his parents as a teenager, went on to earn much acclaim as a military officer, and his descendants had lived here ever since. And nobody is really sure but the house is rumored to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. So A LOT has gone on here in all those years ... lots of people passing through, lots of births and deaths, wedding and funerals, children raised, and people just living their everyday lives.
It has a weird added-on floor plan, kind of "U" shaped, with the living room and the bigger bedroom across the front with a connecting door, each room has a fireplace and each of those rooms also has an outside door going to the front porch, so I have two front doors! And I did feel something here, especially in that bedroom, but more when I first moved in than I do now. My older Boston (who has since died) flat out refused to go in to that bedroom! If I was in there, she would sit nervously in the doorway and whine and cry. The younger one loved that room and would run right in and sit in the fireplace! What was really weird though was when they were obviously looking at things that I couldn't see! Happened a lot those first few months. They would be sitting there side by side intently watching some little invisible 'something' walking around the edges of the room. Both of their little heads and both sets of their big eyes were moving in perfect unison while they watched it, and there was nothing there, nothing I could see anyway! Or they would both be looking up watching 'something' go from one end of the ceiling to the other!
I do believe in all of that. But nothing that has ever happened here has been threatening or even frightening. I've never actually seen anything. Instead, it has been comforting (like the hand on my back) or mischevious and teasing, like the hidden dog toys. I can live with that. I'm willing to share. I did feel it more when I first moved in and it may have just been an 'ancestor' wanting to make sure I was taking good care of 'their' house. An 'ancestor' who likes dogs, maybe!

Have you watched that show "A Haunting" on Discovery? They have some creepy stories on there, but some that are sucessful in getting the spirit to cross over. I watch that show "Paranormal State" once in a while and they have sucess crossing them over too. Maybe you should watch and get some pointers.

One of Australia's favourite authors, Henry Lawson, wrote a short story on the subject called "The Ghostly Door".

If you follow the link back, you will find more of Henry Lawson's work. I especially recommend "The Loaded Dog". It's best if you read it aloud to your family. It's a favourite of Aussie schoolkids, in elementary school. But everybody loves it.
You may be able to find some links on-line of people reading these aloud. husband & I have been thinking of combining our forces and doing some of thesereadings too; if there aren't any Lawson (or Banjo Patterson poems) read aloud online, then we need to do it. It helps to have it read with an Aussie accent, but you can manage without it.
Another favourite is "The Ironbark Chip". Ironbark is VERY hard wood, it blunts axes. It also has long splinters in it, I remember my father cursing at it when he had to chop it. I remember picking up the pieces of wood for our fire and having to handle it carefully, because those splinters were like steel spikes and would go through leather gloves.

But then again I tend to have the "bring it on" attitude for the most part.
Ya think? haha...Toto, you crack me up.
I'd be one that says, "Ok...let's sit down and chat. So you're a ghost? COOL. You want some tea? At least you're out there still making waves. Maybe we could be friends."

update on ghost front, i haven't slept well in 3 nights and nor has easy child, difficult child is sleeping lol.
last night something dropped heavy in my room like someone picked it up and dropped it.
bottom line here if he hadn't shown himself i'd be ok, he has and i don't feel comfortable here anymore to be honest. easy child doesn't, the two kids are traveling in packs around the house. Neither will go anywhere with-o the other. so, it's def making us bond more.
still no medications.....that carp isnt' funny taking her medications.
