Well, there has been somewhat of a change. Now I am being woke up around midnight instead of three.
And we have had some new activity that I need to document.
A few days ago, I ordered Marty a book from Amazon. He was sitting there reading his book, when he says, "Lisa, haven't you heard the name, blah blah blah?" I said, Marty! Don't say that out loud!! It was the name of one of the higher demons.And Marty didn't even think when he said it. It was a name that had been in something that he read a while back. He was just referring to that.But it still sort of creeped me out.
The evening went on without a hitch. The spoken name is forgotten. Until my DIL calls me over to look at my grandson.He was playing in the sunroom, wearing nothing but his diaper. He had three scratches running from the top of his shoulder down his back all the way to his diaper. I was shocked!! I carefully examined them, there was no way this happened while he was playing. He acted as if they weren't even there.If one of the dogs had scratched him, he would have cried hysterically. Also, my son and DIL were in the sunroom with him the whole time. They would have seen anything happen to him.(So he must have thrown a sharp object over his shoulder, right?) This really put me on edge.He acted like they didn't bother him. So we all tried to just forget about it. Marty had spent the latter part of the evening in our bedroom playing Xbox. When he finished his game, he just left the TV on with the volume turned off. As he usually does. Later, I went into our bedroom to brush out my hair for the night. Just as I reach for my hairbrush, the TV set behind me turned off. I turned to look at it, just as the screen was going dark. (So this was some sort of electrical issue. Even though we have no electrical problems, right?) I chose to ignore it and went on with what I was doing.
Amy continues to stay in bed with me at night. No longer staying in the front part of the house alone.
Last night I woke up @ midnight gasping for air like I was suffocating! It was like I was inhaling big gulps of air, but it just wasn't enough. I turned over to my side and tried to slow my breathing. I finally drifted back off .to be awakened a short while later by our Boston barking. He was standing on the foot of the bed, barking at our open bedroom door. I couldn't see anything. I listened for a while and never heard anything. But I had a horribly scared feeling. Like when you've just awakened from a nightmare.I snuggled into Marty's back and pulled the covers up to my chin. I recited the lord's prayer as I fell asleep.

Updating
I'm sorry it's been a while since I have updated. I have been spending most of my time working on Summer Graphics for my other two Blogs.
Our grandson has started screaming during the night again. I know most kids do cry at night. But this is a bit different. He is still sound asleep while he is doing this. We have researched night terrors. But have found nothing that will even compare to his symptoms. We had some of his blankets blessed. And so far that has worked. He slept all night the first night he took the blessed blanket to bed with him. (Thank you for that Dennis. I can't tell you just how much that has meant to us all.)
This past Tuesday morning. I had gotten up pretty early. (Before the clock ever went off.) As I came into the living room, I saw my son sitting on the couch and my DIL sitting on the love seat. You could see in their posture that they were both exhausted. Our Grandson had another night of screaming, so they both had been up all night. My son had to go to work in a few hours, so I talked him into going back to bed in my bed. That way he could at least sleep a couple of hours. So he went and got into my bed with his dad. My DIL and I made some coffee and sat down at our computers. We were sitting there working, the whole house was silent. Then from out of no where, we hear both bedroom doors open. One on each side of the house,e simultaneously!. We both jump to our feet. My DIL goes to check on our grandson, and he is sound asleep.I look in on my husband and son, both are snoring. As we settle back into our chairs. Thinking it must have been the wind. (With no windows or doors open.) Or it could have been the house shifting.(Yea, right.). We didn't discuss what had just happened. We just let it pass.
Wednesday morning. Marty said the activity in the house had kept him awake most of the night. He said sometime around midnight. Things in the kitchen and dining room had started moving around. He said that on two separate occasions he even listened to footsteps walking through the house. To hear him tell this made me feel validated and UN-nerved all at the same time. I have heard these same noises many many times while the house was asleep. And to finally have him experience it was a bit unsettling. I could halfway say it was just my imagination before. But to have him hearing it too made it real.
Our female Pit Bull Amy has recently taken to sleeping on mine and Marty's pillows like a cat. This dog is eleven years old. She has NEVER done this. But for the past two nights, when we go to bed. She goes with us and curls up beside me. After about half an hour she will get off the bed and go to the sunroom to get on the couch. Usually, she would spend the rest of the night here unless she gets cold. Then she comes back to bed and gets under the covers with me. But now, around midnight, she comes back into the bedroom, gets up on the bed and goes to the very top of the bed and lays down on our pillows. She woke me up doing this last night. And she was trembling. I assumed she was cold. So I tried to coax her under the covers.She wouldn't budge from her spot. And she just kept staring out the bedroom door. I didn't hear or see anything. But apparently, she did.

Shadows
A couple of mornings ago, I was the first one up. I turn on my coffee pot and head to the bathroom.
Just as I reach the bathroom, the door was shut, and the light was on. (So, someone else is up before me.) I wait a minute and hear no noise coming from the bathroom. I lightly tap on the door. Then I see a shadow move in front of the door. Whomever it is, is just standing there inside the doorway. I tap again, and this time I whisper a bit loudly, "Are you OK."? And the shadow totally disappears. I slowly open the door, there is no one in the bathroom! I can not explain the feeling I felt just then. I know what I saw. Someone had been just inside this door. I kept thinking about this most of the day. I know without a doubt, someone was there.

More Activity
It's been a while since I have updated. But it seems like every time I would try to, something would interfere.And I just couldn't get it done.
I'm going to try to remember all that has happened.There have been so many different things,
A few night ago, Marty had gone into our bedroom to play Xbox. And I was working on the computer. My computer is only a few feet from the bedroom door. After a while, i heard him say, "now that was just creepy." I asked. 'what was"? He said he had turned on the game and went to put on his turtle beaches,(Headphones) when he heard a very audible grown in his headset. I just agreed that was creepy. And we both went back to what we were doing.A while later, Marty called my name.(Lisa, come here!) By the tone of his voice, I knew right away something wasn't right.I jumped up and hurried to the bedroom door.I stopped just inside the doorway. I could hear heavy footsteps (Like boots) walking back and forth on the bed my husband was laying on. But the footsteps were fast, almost as if there were an urgency to them.I have no clue as to why, but I said, get off the bed! As soon as he got off the bed, it stopped. To see my husband so shaken up about this, really unnerved me.
The small dark circle is back to zooming across our floor. None of us have any idea what this is. But it is about the size of a tennis ball, and it's very black. It just shoots across the floor in random places. It's every bit as quick as a mouse. But it's not a mouse.It has done this before. But it stopped after the first house blessing. It started showing up again a few weeks ago. It seems harmless enough. Just annoying.
Marty said a few night ago, he lay in the bed for hours and listened to things moving around in the house, while I slept.This was quite different. As it is usually me, that lies awake and listens to all the strange activity. Marty has had more and more experiences around here lately.
A few nights back, Marty and I had just turned off the TV and were ready to go to sleep. Just as I was about to drift off. I heard something moving around the bed. It sounded a lot like our Boston Terrier would be roaming around in search of the elusive Tennis ball. But he was snoring on the bed with us. I just listened until I fell asleep. The next morning, I confirmed the noise with Marty. He had heard the same sound until he fell asleep.
There have been more things happening. But they are more of a personal nature. And can't be shared here.
Also. My back door seems to open on its own now. We have done everything we can to try to debunk this door opening. And there is no explanation for it. It's doing it randomly. So there is no set pattern.
Again, just something to annoy us.

A very active night
Marty and I went to bed sometime around Midnight last night. We had both just fallen asleep when our Female pit bull woke us up growling out in the sunroom.Marty calls her by her name, so she runs into our room barking now, and goes directly under the covers shivering. I sort of half figured that whatever had frightened her was gone by now. (That seems to be how these things work.) So there was no reason to get up. We both went back to sleep only to have our male Boston wake us up a while later growling. I was getting annoyed at this point.Marty calms him down, and we both go back to sleep.Then Marty is waked by what he called" a lot of activity" He heard our dryer run, with a button shirt in it. (I know you all know what this sounds like, as the buttons clink inside the dryer on rotation.) But the dryer wasn't on. As he lay there listening, this noise turned into the sound of champagne glasses being clinked together. But he described it as being rhythmic.He finally fell asleep listening to all the strange noises. Where I sat bolt upright in the bed. Something had startled me from sleep. But I didn't hear anything. I listened for a bit, But the house seemed entirely quite. I turn to look at the clock. 3:30 am. Great. I snuggle back into the covers for a few more hours of blessed quietness.

Answering your Questions
We have had a couple of teams ask if they could investigate.
Our answer to this is, we do not allow thrill seekers. As this is our home, and our day to day life.
We are willing to allow select teams into our home. We have had a great team investigate for us. And I think it left them all pondering, just what they came up against that night. So the best we can do is tell you to contact us, and we will go from there.
Thanks for inquiring guys. And we are always thankful for your emails and prayers.

Update
I had figured that things would get active here the past few days. But it hasn't been anything to overboard. We lost our best dog to cancer last Thursday. We had him put to sleep, and that was very emotional for the whole family.I had imagined it would play on those emotions.But thankfully, it didn't.
I did notice for a few days, that I lost interest in everything around me. And was sort of wondering what to do with myself. I had a really short fuse at this time. I played it off on losing my best friend. But my husband had started to wonder if it hadn't tried to attach itself to me. IDK. I guess we will find out in time, right?
Tonight, we have set up two cameras and two recorders in the back bedroom. I am hoping to finally get this shadow being on camera. Keep your fingers crossed that I have some images to show you in a day or two.

Crash but not broken
All day long today, the whole family has randomly heard loud crashing in other parts of the house. Yet nothing has fallen or moved at all.
It just seems to be a sporadic noise that keeps moving from room to room. It's VERY annoying.

Here we go again.
Last Night as we were all getting ready to go to bed. I went to the refrigerator to get some iced tea. Just as I opened the door on the refrigerator side. A pan of "tater tots" shot out directly at my face! I remember seeing it coming at me, and all I had time to do was close my eyes.They went everywhere! Marty and Cari had been standing in the dining room. Both of them gasped at the same time. And proceeded to ask if I was hurt. No, i wasn't hurt, I was shocked and standing in a big potato mess.The three of us cleaned it up, all of us on our hands and knees jabbering about what had just happened. We finished up, Cari went on to her bedroom, I went down the hall to the bathroom. While in the bathroom, it sounded as if someone had just walked up and kicked the back door! Very hard and very loudly!I stepped out of the bathroom, asking, "who just slammed this door"? Only to meet Cari coming from her room and Marty coming from the kitchen. We had all heard it (No way not to hear it really), And we were all puzzled as to what just did that. Naturally, there was nothing outside.While we were all out back looking for what had made the noise. We had no clue that the lights in the house, we had just turned out for the night, were turning themselves back on.Upon coming back in. We were all pretty shocked. But we just all proceeded to turn out the light once more.After that, we all said our goodnight in the dining room and retired to our own rooms to spend the rest of the night in blissfully quite.
This afternoon, Marty and I decided to lay down and take a nap. Just as I was drifting off, Our female pitbull lept on top of me trembling uncontrollably.I shifted a bit as she was sitting on my ribs. Just as I turned, she dove in between Marty and me. Where the trembling continued for quite a while. Marty nor I either one said anything and proceeded to fall asleep. As we got up from our nap, Cari started to tell us how she had gone to nap in the recliner, and just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a name spoken in her ear. There is no way Cari could have known how Amy (The PitBull) Had reacted earlier. Marty and I both were a bit puzzled at this.
