Greg's "Incident"

Okay, so I was out of town in New York on vacation. Greg was staying at my place to watch the cat. He came to pick me up from the airport on Tuesday and told me he had had an "incident." I wasn't sure what he meant, I thought he had set fire to the carpet or something like that. No, he went on to tell me that the night before, he awoke with a start to feel the bed shaking on its own. The cat had been sleeping in the bed too, and had a startled expression that said "What the hell was that?"
Greg discounted the possibility of a seizure or anything like that, because he was perfectly lucid when he woke up. It wasn't a dream, because the cat felt it too, and besides he could still feel the vibrations after he woke up.
I took this as a significant story, because Greg is on of my more skeptical friends about that kind of stuff. The fact he reported it only affirms my assurance that I have a special "roommate." Now if only I can get Marty to pay half the rent...!

Ghosts of the Past

June 7, 2005

It's been a while; sorry! I haven't had a whole lot of stuff go on. There have been a few noises of "indeterminate" origins and about 2 weeks ago I closed my front door and made sure it was unlocked because I was expecting Josh to come in later. When he arrived, I heard him knocking. The door was locked! I know I had left it unlocked.

Yesterday I was getting into my truck and nearby a girl was getting out of her car out front of my house. The girl asked me if I lived in that apartment, pointing to my balcony. I said I did, and she explained that she used to live there a while back. Her father lives downstairs and she was visiting him. I used the opportunity to ask her "I know this may sound a little wierd, but while you were living there, did you have any reason to believe the apartment might be haunted?"

She told me that during her stay there, she heard lots of strange noises, experienced doors opening and closing, and things moved around the room. On one occassion she watched a candle up and fall off a table all by itself. Sounded like the exact same experiences I've been having! So I'm not the only one! I was gratified to know that I wasn't just imagining things. So with the testimony of me, Susan, Josh, Dean and this girl Amy, I think I can unofficially say that my house is officially haunted!
