Strange Sleep

Last Night after Marty and I went to bed, the dogs started barking like crazy. I lay awake until just after two thirty listening to them. (And plotting their murders in my mind. LOL) I finally drifted off around three. About four thirty I woke up to Marty behind me, on my side of the bed. My little female pit was around my feet. (She usually sleeps behind my back.) I assumed Marty had just gotten back into my side of the bed from a nightly trip to the bathroom or kitchen. So I slid forward to give him some room. And I bumped into Marty! A shock ran through my body! If Marty was in front of me, who was in bed behind me?!I lay there to scared to move for a moment. Then I felt Amy get up from my feet, and walk back up to her spot behind my back and lay down.Whatever had been there was now gone.I lay there a few minutes thinking about what had just happened. Then decided it was time to head to the bathroom myself. I was just starting through the dining room on my way back to bed when I heard the footsteps coming up the hall toward me. And it was coming fast! I practically dove into the bedroom! Then I listened to my son open the refrigerator. Was I ever relieved!! LOL!! He was the one I had heard in the hall. What a night! I still have no clue though as to what was in bed with me.
But I do know that this time, My husband was the one to wake up with his pajamas on inside out! That was quite a nice change. He was a bit perplexed. But now he knows exactly what has been happening to me.

The answer to my question

I wondered yesterday if this thing was getting stronger.......
This morning I woke up with a horrible sore throat. And was astonished when my family asked me what happened to my neck. I have some terrible bruising this morning.And no clue how it happened.

Is it getting Stronger?

Last Night Marty and I went to the bedroom to relax and watch a bit of TV. We turned off the TV @ eleven thirty. As we lay there waiting for sleep. Something hit the bottom of the bed really hard. It was loud and hard enough to jar the bed.I was just about to ask Marty what that was when it happened again. We both lay there and listened for a while. But nothing else happened.

I am once again being woke up @ three every morning.Then it is near impossible to get back to sleep. I just hate that.

Our grandson has started giving this thing attention once again. He looks and talks to things we can't see.That makes me so uncomfortable. Especially when I have no clue as to what is going on, or just what this thing is capable of.

Just Sick

Ever since my last post, I have been unbelievably sick. I have no clue if it is coincidence or something more. But later that night, after my encounter, I went to the bathroom and was horrified to find out I was peeing blood, and lots of it! Marty, of course, wanted to take me to the ER right away. But I waited it out. After about 24 hours, all was well. I have no clue what that was about. But I'm still a bit creeped out about it.

Creatures?

Last night, Marty and I were getting ready for bed. Marty went into the spare bedroom (where our female pit bull sleeps) to turn out the light. Lacie (The pit bull) was sitting up and looking at the closet door. Usually, she would be sound asleep curled up on her blanket on the floor.But she was sitting up with her head cocked to the side looking at the closet door. And the door was open. This door is never open. And there is no way it could ever open by itself. Marty stepped into the room to close the closet door, at the exact moment that I opened the bathroom door down the hall. Just as I opened the door, something ran past me! It was about mid thigh in height, it's hair brushed my leg, and it actually stepped on my foot! I let out a gasp! And flew back up the hall. I could still feel that awful hair against my leg! And still felt the pressure on the top of my foot! I wouldn't go back in there by myself.(Marty walked back down the hall with me, and it was so cold! You could almost see your breath!)Marty grabbed the camera, I grabbed the digital recorder. But we got nothing. And I spent the rest of the night with that creepy feeling on my leg. That was awful.And by far, I have to say, this has been the worst thing yet. It was just simply terrible.

Potty Tunes

Our latest encounter has been more funny than frightening. We have a one-year-old grandson that received a potty chair as a birthday present. This chair plays music when used, apparently to encourage the child. Well for the past few weeks. This chair, (Which sits in our bathroom) goes off all by itself. At random times during the day, we hear it playing.My husband and son both have tried to figure out what is causing this. And there is no simple explanation.So we all get an amusing chuckle each time we hear the chair start playing on its own.(The only time this wasn't so funny, is when I was in the shower, with soap on my face, eyes closed, and the chair starts playing. It kind of gave me a jolt. And a feeling that I wasn't alone.) A new point to ponder.....do spirits use potty chairs? Or, do they just like the music? LOL

Concerned

A few nights ago, the kids (I say, "kids." But I'm referring to my son and his wife.) They were woke up twice during the night with something hard-hitting their bed(Hard enough to shake their whole bed!).They never figured out just what it was. But previously, my daughter in law had told me that she felt that "It" had returned to their room.So yesterday Marty went back and re-blessed their room, but this time, he went ahead and got our room too. So I'm happy to say, we are all sleeping now.And the olives have helped us all. Oops. I guess I had better explain the olives.
**Green Olives. If you are having nightmares. Eat 5 or 6 green olives before bedtime. The dreams will stop. OR, if you want to remember your dreams eat 5 or 6 olives before bed time and you will remember your dreams the next morning.Try it. It really works! We had all been having horrible vivid nightmares. But thanks to the olives, they are gone.

Things that go bump in the night.

Yesterday, we were all just sitting around talking, when our DIL mentioned something about someone getting up during the night.After some discussion, and much to every ones surprise. Our son and his wife said that around 1:30 they had heard someone walk down the hall to the bath room.They didn't hear the bathroom door close, but they heard the toilet flush.Then the footsteps went back up the hall, opened the spare bedroom door, Closed it, Opened it, closed it, then proceeded into the kitchen.And it wasn't Marty nor I. So just who was this creating all this noise in the night? Naturally they both were a bit freaked out when they found out it wasn't us.So last night, just before bed, i sat a digi recorder in the hallway and one in the kitchen. I have yet to listen to them. But if i have anything, i will be sure to share. :)

Last night, i was plagued with the most horrible nightmares.They are still playing over in my head. Each time i would wake up during the night, I would have that childhood terror feeling.( I so hate that feeling!) Anyway, it has left me feeling really drained today.

A strange awakening

Last night was utterly ordinary. Nothing strange at all.Marty and I went to bed around ten and watched a bit of TV. We turned the TV off around eleven and settled in for sleep. At precisely 12:05, I was awakened by someone standing behind me and shaking my arm.I opened my eyes and looked over my shoulder, expecting to see one of the kids. But no one was there! And this thing had been shaking me hard enough to shake the bed.Once I realized what had just happened, my first reaction was to dive for Marty's side of the bed while loudly whispering Marty! Marty! Of course, he was sound asleep. So were the two dogs at the foot of the bed. Was I dreaming? Nope! No way! I could still feel the hand on my arm!! I curled up beside Marty. Wait! Not happening! My back is now to the door, and that is one high level of creep factor I have going on. So I turn over, put my back to Marty and snuggle in.I lay there thinking about what had just happened.........If this thing can actually shake me awake, what else can it do?. OK. I'm awake now......should not be thinking that at all..........going to be a long, long night.

Unseen guest

I haven't updated. Lately, my graphics Blogs seem to need all of my time around the Holidays. But just because I haven't posted, doesn't mean it has been quite around here.

A couple of nights ago, at 3:33 to be exact. Our female pit woke me up standing at the foot of my bed and growling furiously.She was looking out the bedroom door. And apparently, she saw something I couldn't. I lay in the dark and listened, the house was totally silent, except for her.It took a bit, but I finally got her calmed down.She lay down beside me with the hair on her back still raised, and her ears laid back on her head.I could feel her whole body trembling against me.I finally pulled the cover over both of us and drifted off to sleep as her trembling ceased.(The funny part, her chaos didn't wake anyone else in the house.)

This morning, My son and I were sitting in the kitchen, when we heard the front door open. We both listened to the handle being opened.It has a very distinct sound as it has to be pushed in.We looked at each other. I got up and walked over to the door. And it was standing open about six inches.There was no one there, of course. I just closed the door and sat back down.(My mom has taught me to never say, "come on in" when the door opens by itself.She says in doing this, you don't know exactly what you're inviting into your home........

Flying objects?

Marty and I were sitting at our computer desks, each lost in our work. The house is totally silent. When all of a sudden, our bedroom oil lamp crashes to the floor, and our Boston runs from the room terrified!
We both jump up to go see, and my oil lamp didn't just fall. It was hurled about three feet away, against a wall. I picked up the light and checked for broken pieces as Marty got some cleaner for the oil that was now running down my wall. Neither of us spoke, other than Marty asking me if the lamp was broken.(It wasn't.) So we cleaned up, and both went back to our computers. Is this normal? This is everyday life for us. And just tonight, I realized how unemotional we are when something like this occurs.It was just bizarre, to "step outside" for a moment, and notice that this is actually our lives now.............(Not sure how I feel about that.)

Cologne

Marty and I went on an electronics shopping trip yesterday. We picked up a couple of voice recorders.And some odds and ends.So Marty is playing around with one of the recorders, later on, play back, we have an EVP that says, "I'm right here." And it sounded like it was right beside Marty.
Sooooo, we just sort of laugh. Then ignore it. Seems like it wants our attention?

Last night at 3:36, I was woken up by the smell of Marty's cologne in the room.I leaned toward Marty. It wasn't coming from him. It was as if it had just been sprayed. This has happened before, so I just said "stop wasting the shit. It's expensive!". Then went back to sleep.
Exactly one hour later, Marty was waking up to the smell of my floral musk. He said he even sat up and smelled it. And like I did, he just dismissed it and went back to sleep.So we know now that it is trying to get our attention. That's fine. I can deal with this. As long as crap don't start flying around my house. I'm good. :)

Investigation #2

First, I would like to thank the CPI team for all that they have done for us. These people rock! They showed up at our house Saturday evening @ 6 pm. And they absolutely blanketed the house and grounds. We are looking forward to our reveal with them. I know some of the team members had their own personal experiences. And we're really looking forward to our reveal.


The next day, the house was awesomely quite.I even actually got to sleep all night. YAY! That is something that hasn't happened in a very long time. I'm sure it will be a few days before we know for sure if it is completely gone. But we will wait and see.As a family, we have decided, if it's here, fine. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone.Because we sure as he^^ aren't letting this thing run us out of our home! So, we just give it some time and see what happens.

Investigation

We have found out that our second Investigation will be this Saturday.This time covering the grounds as well as our home. I'm a bit excited as well as nervous. I'm just wondering what we will encounter this time since they are covering the grounds as well. And we already know, that when you provoke this thing. It gets worse. Really bad. So I'm sure it's not going to be too pleased with what we are doing.
I will update after the investigation. (And anything that happens before.)

New scratches

Things have been beautiful and quite for a few days. I could actually get used to that. :) But last night during dinner, my arm started to burn. I looked down and saw three long red scratches running from my wrist up to the bend of my arm.I couldn't help but get that sinking feeling in my stomach. Like here we go again.

During the night, I woke up suddenly and was wide awake. I looked at the clock, 3:33 am.
I hope this is not the beginning of more, "fun stuff."

Dogs are wierded out

Last Night, Marty and I were both working on our computers when I heard our oldest male pit bull crying. I looked over at him, and he was looking above mine and Marty's head just crying. I got up and went to him. I knelt down and put my arms around him, but he wouldn't stop, I stayed there and petted him for a long time, as he stared at the wall and whimpered. He has never done this before. It really struck me as odd.

Later Marty and I went to the bedroom to watch TV. Marty turned on the TV, just to have it turn itself off again.He turned it back on, and we both climbed into bed.Amy (female Pit) jumped up on the bed, went straight up to my pillows, put both front feet on my dresser and started whining at the corner of the ceiling.Then sniffing as if she could smell something there. Marty called her name, and she lay down beside us and went to sleep. So far today, there have been no problems.

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.
