Write about a time you thought there was a ghost.
I am not going to start a debate on whether or not ghosts are real… or the supernatural… or anything of the sort…because honestly I just don’t care… I am just going to state one fact… you cannot live with me for long and deny that there is something besides us here… call that something what you will… but you can’t deny its existence…
This fact was challenged upon entering my marriage for Mr. Amazing… I think he thought it was cute that I was so eccentric…. But much like with everyone else… It just was not worth the discussion… because a ghost doesn’t pay the bills… or do the laundry… cook dinner… bring about world peace…so really… what good is it.
This is one story of many… but it is my favorite because it scared the Bejeezus out of my Sexy Husband… Here is what happened:
Its been about 2 years now… It started slow… Doors opening and closing… Wiring seeming to be going out as lights flickered in the hall and bathroom… Harmless things… super easy to explain away…. So what are two grown adults going to do? Try to explain it away… HA!
This is the light that would randomly turn off when someone was in there… it had to be wiring because it isnt like the light switch moved… the light just quit working…. but the wiring magically got fixed all by itself now.
We adjusted the thermostat… we ran a hot shower trying to make the door swell… we tried numerous things to try and recreate what was happening… because I am supportive of my cute husband and his insistence science can explain it. I like science! But our attempts were in vain… and the door opening and closing continued…
I think my favorite night was when we were in bed… our door flew open… we blamed it on the wind… and closed it again… only to have it open again once we were back under the covers.
This carried on for several weeks… it was a symphony of doors… down this hallway
Our bedroom is at the end of the hall… The first door on your right is Little Miss Smalls door…it was the most active participant. But only when she was not home.
Now cue the baby crying… WHAT? We don’t have a baby! … Thats right folks… in the middle of the night we would hear a baby crying… we would hear it in different places… For Example.. we would both be in bed… we would both hear the crying… but I would swear it was outside the window.. he would swear it was on the other end of the house…. and WOOSH! the door (that was already closed) would slam.
Then the footsteps started… and that was the end of it for Mr. Amazing… We had been living this way for about 5 months at this point… He could not deny it any longer… and he wanted it gone!
Which was sad kind of… because it really was such a sweet little thing…
“Don’t you know other weirdos that can do something about this??” he asked in desperation (Door Slam at 2 am WHAM!)
“Ironically… I do”
and I did… and I did what my dear friend suggested… with a little help from my not so small… and other than a peek a boo once and again from our invisible friend… things have been quiet.
“Let’s never speak of this again” – Mr Amazing
Well… it just made the blog!
Bahahahaha!
I didn’t know that!!!!! Not surprised though…
I can’t believe I had not told you! Bahahaha It was epic! Mr Amazing let it go on for MONTHS rather than admit it was real…. But he came around 🙂
AGH!!! So terrifying and awesome at the same time. Excellent post 🙂
Thanks!!!
Well told. Interesting you continued living there. No everyone would.
It truly was something harmless 🙂 and these things do happen.
I just tell the spirits that if they are going to hang around they will have to contribute to the household in some manner. Like picking up the stuff off the floor. They usually go away pretty fast after that.
Bahahahaha! Shit! I’d love the help!
Bwahaha! I love that he called you a “weirdo” and you took it in stride. lol! Cool. And I’m glad the spirit stayed around quietly and pokes it head out every once in a while and you seem to appreciate it. You’re fabulous! Coming at you from Mama’s Losin’ It!
Thanks for stopping by!
OH HELL NO! I would be out of there so fast. That spirit world creeps me out!!!
Bahahahahaha!
Ooh, so creepy and exciting at the same time!! Great story!
Thanks!
