Tom Tom?

All along I had thought that this was a "normal" thing. But our TomTom has a habit of speaking when disconnected. Yea, It can be detached for weeks. Then the light comes on, and it says go 500 yards and turn left. Or go 500 yards and bear left. Well, I think this is like some factory defect that the TomTom has. And I never gave it anymore though.Even though it would send a chill down my spine each time, it would do this.So today I got the bright idea of checking it out online. Expecting to find others reporting the same thing. I was shocked to see that no one is having this problem! So apparently I purchased the only haunted TomTom on the East coast..........Great!

This is an OT post

I just wanted to take a second to say, That you Danielle, for my copy of A Wrinkle in Time. What an awesome gift!

Could this be it?

Last night, not long after the knock at the door. I grabbed my camera, and just started clicking random shots. These are the images we got. The first is the original. The second will be cropped and enlarged.

These two images have been inverted and cleaned up By Brandon

of the CPI team. It's obvious that something is there.

Unseen Guest

The whole family is sitting around tonight doing their own thing when we hear this really loud, urgent knocking on the front door.Sent a jolt through me, as it was so unexpected. The dogs were all barking and having a fit. I jumped up and went to the door.There was no one there.I couldn't believe my eyes. I said, "There is no one here." My whole family was shocked at my words. Marty and Chris went outside and looked around. The dogs were still having a fit. But there was absolutely no one there. We all sort of shrugged it off and went back to whatever we were doing.
It wasn't long after this that our grandson once again started to interact with our unseen guest. Almost exactly like it was when this all began.........
He hasn't done this since the last investigation and house blessing. So it sort of unnerved us all to see him do this.
But I did note, that I was playing a song for him that I also hadn't played since he was tiny.(His mom, Marty and I all use to sing this song to him to get him to stop crying.) I don't know that it has any bearing on what he was doing. But it was just bizarre.

Photos Update

I have just added some new photos to our "Photos Page".
Check "em out. :)

a long night

I had wondered if anything was going to happen last night since the team had been out earlier in the day.Usually, when we have a visit from them, it kicks up the activity in the house. But we all went to bed last night, with nothing out of the "ordinary." (Ha! Ha!. I don't think I have used that word for quite a while. It sorta stands out here.) But anyway, nothing strange took place, until....................................
Around midnight, I was suddenly awake. Just wide awake for no reason. So I lay there listening and looking around the room. Then I noticed the lights.I'm sure you have at some point been in one room, and you can see the flash of lights from a TV or computer, coming from another room. They sort of project themselves on the wall.Bright, then dim, then brighter, then dim again. That is what I started watching on my bedroom door. The house was totally silent. And I lay there watching this light show for quite some time. Just when I thought it had stopped, it would start again.( At this point, I really needed to make a trip to the bathroom. But my getting up would stop the activity. Right? So I lay there and watched for a while.)I was just on the verge of waking Marty, who was sleeping soundly beside me. When I heard a cigarette lighter being struck.OK! That's not a ghost! Someone else is up. So now is my chance to make a dash for the bathroom! I came out of my bedroom just as my DIL was leaving the room.We didn't speak. I just headed for the bathroom. When I came back into the kitchen. She was sitting at the table.Marty had also gotten up and was standing in the kitchen. (Strange that both of them are up at this hour too. (12:08)) My DIL then asked if we had left the TV on when we went to bed.Of course not. I have never left the TV on. It is always turned off before we start locking up and turning out lights at bedtime. But she had gotten up to get a drink. And said the TV was on in the living room. (I know beyond any doubt, that TV was off before we went to bed.But that did explain my light show.) As we were discussing this, my son Chris entered the kitchen and says,"So I'm the only one that can't sleep tonight, Huh"? Soooooo. The whole house is up, and wide awake at midnight. Nice! But none of us actually know why we are awake at this hour. We just all suddenly woke up. I don't remember this ever happening before. So we all just grabbed a cold drink and sat around the table talking for a while. I considered it being a good time to do some EVP work. But I was just too tired. So that thought left as quickly as it entered my mind. About an hour later, we all wandered back to our perspective beds and tried to get some sleep. I think Marty and I both lay there awake for what seemed like hours. We just couldn't sleep. I have since found out that the kids had the same problem.They said, they just couldn't sleep.

So, for the record, we will just say, Paranormal or not. It was a strange night.Kind of makes me want to re-read A Wrinkle in Time.

Our meeting with the team

We spent some time with the men from CPI yesterday. They dropped by to get a look at the land. And scout out a few "key spots" before the next Investigation.We always enjoy our time spent with these guys. They are all very knowledgeable in the field. With a special flair that keeps a family comfortable.We appreciate all they have done to help us with our "special case." And we look forward to the upcoming Investigation.

Just Creepy

I'm sitting here waiting for the coffee to get done, and thinking over last night. Still unsure why I'm up at this hour.I took some arthritis meds and went to sleep @ 12:30. I had every intention of sleeping until about 7:30. But noooo, I'm sitting here with the powerful feeling that I'm not alone. It's a really creepy feeling that has me looking over my shoulder. At some point during the night, I was startled out of my sleep by a loud noise in our bedroom. I'm not sure what it was. I lay there a while and listened. But never heard anything else.Then the dogs in the bedroom woke me up growling. I wasn't sure if they had heard something outside and were reacting to it. Or if they had heard something in the house.I lay there again and listened. Not hearing anything else, I soon fell back asleep.The dogs outside were all restless last night. And barked quite a bit. It wasn't there regular, middle of the night, bark. It had more of an intense urgency to it.Something like a person had entered the yard. I'm just going to assume that some animal was roaming around last night, and had them upset.
But I can't shake this feeling this morning. Twice I have had to stop myself from waking Marty up to come in here with me.It's that really creepy feeling that you get as a kid. When you turn out the bathroom light.Then look down the long dark hallway ahead of you.The whole time your walking, you just feel like something is there breathing down your neck. Urging you to hurry up and walk faster. That is the feeling I have as I sit here at my computer this morning.

Marty has just gotten up and came in here. He says he just had the most horrible dream. When I asked him to tell me about it, I got a very quick, but firm, NO. And to have him get up at this hour is unheard of. It just doesn't happen. But it seems he has had quite a restless night himself. I told him about my creepy feeling this morning. He feels it too.

I have just reach down beside me and quietly turned on my digital recorder. I guess if whatever this is, is going to make its presence known so strongly, we may as well give it a chance to communicate.

It's going to be a long day. My eyes are burning from the lack of sleep.And I feel like something is about to happen. It's just creepy.

Update

Just updating, as usual. I try not to let to much time go before I update, as I tend to forget some of the smaller things that happen. And that my friends, is NOT paranormal. That is just a mild case of old age and a severe case of CRS. :)

So today Marty and I were in the kitchen, I had just walked up to give him a hug. As I stepped away from him, we both watched our freezer door swing open.Being about two feet from it, it was sort of hard to miss.I reached out and closed it. Then reopened it, to make sure it was sealing correctly.Of course, it was. So again, no explanation.
Things are still pretty crazy in our bedroom at night. So Marty nor I either one has been sleeping much.

The next Investigation

I found out yesterday that the next Investigation will be around the end of next month. This time they want to focus on the surrounding land as well as our home.Just like last time, I'm absolutely confident they won't be disappointed. Whatever we have here has no problem making itself known. This time, they want to broaden the team. Which I think will be an excellent idea. I just hope they are all ready to have some experiences. Everyone that was here last time had their own personal experiences, along with images and EVP's. So I look forward to seeing what we get this time. Of course, I will post here the day after the investigation.
