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.

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.
