Since you've been gone, I can sleep for the 1st time!
Well this week I had an interesting thing happen.
I have to write about it.
BTW, my g/f probably is starting to either think I am a freak or has now become a believer in the paranormal. (The latter would be better)
It was a few nights ago and I was hunkering down into bed. As I got all comfy I noticed or should I say felt as if a cat was at the end of my bed walking over my feet on the blankets. I immediately shunned that thought and just chalked it up to nerves or muscles twitching. Also, my cat's are not allowed into the bedroom at night when we sleep because the rat bastards keep us up with there shenanigins!
Off to dreamland.
It was around dead time (3am) and Kat and I were in a cozy sleep state when all of a sudden BOOM! It sounded like something had dropped from the ceiling to the floor. Now being that we just had woken up abruptly we were startled and confused. I turned my head quickly towards K and said "Did you hear that? What was it? Baby, get up and turn the light on!"
She being the punk that she is was like "No WAY, I'm not checking!"
As we lay there I started trying to imagine what that sound could have been. Was it my upstairs neighbor's 4 year old daughter falling out of bed? Was it one of my Chinese statues that fell from the top of my hutch and possibly bounced off my laundry basket? Did I mis-hear it and maybe it was my cat jumping off the cupboards onto the refrigerator and possibly knocking something off in the kitchen?
The whole time my heart was beating faster and my head was spinning. Then as we laid there Kat and I both heard shuffling, like someone was definitely in the bedroom.
As strange as it was we were both exhausted so we fell back asleep thinking it had to be our nocturnal feline friends causing a ruckus...no big deal.
By morning we had forgotten about that loud crash and went about our day as usual. Later on, after work when we both got home, we discussed what we heard and went back towards the bedroom to discover and possibly debunk what we heard.
No Such Luck!
What I had found was my sub woofer to my surround sound that sits on the floor was in a different place then normal and it was on it's side. I looked up and Kat and then repositioned the speaker to it's original location. Kat tried seeing if we pulled the closet door open abruptly if it would somehow catch the woofer and that would be an answer?? Well, then that would mean that something would have to come out of the closet, swing the door open wide and with force and then go back into the closet and shut the door again. Nahhh....maybe but nahhh.
I decided to kick the speaker a foot or so up against the TV stand and there you have it! It was a perfect recreation of the noise!
Kat and I then became a bit worried. "That means something or someone was in our room and kicked my equipment K! Did it come out of the closet? The door was open." She looked at me nervously and said " I really don't want to know what could have come out of the closet and did that. I am imagining the girl from The Ring creeping up to our bed at night."
Well that was it for me! I told her with all of the cabnets opening and closing. You seeing the shadow figure earlier in the year and hearing the random noises, it's time to cleanse this place.
Up to this point I chalked it all up to our imaginations or old house noises. Even the things that had no explanation like my cousin who lives upstairs asking me what was broken when we came home from NH over the holidays. I remember asking him what he meant and he explained he heard a giant crash come from my apartment and thought for sure something was broken.
Nothing!
So I took Katrina's hand, lit the sage stick I have and walked from room to room saying prayers, surrounding us in white light and asking this entity to leave our home. That night I didn't sleep at all. It was quiet in the house and I didn't feel any presence but I am still not convinced it's gone.
I called my landlord and without trying to sound crazy explained a bit of this to him. He doesn't know anything except who he bought the house from and that guy is still alive and well. We still even sometimes receive his mail. Daryl, my LL asked me if I would be willing to put a DVD handheld cam in my room at night. He said he would drop it off to me sometime. I told him i would rather not see what is coming into my bedroom at night if that's ok.
He was amused and interested. I don't think he will be amused and interested if it doesn't get better and we have to move!
So far so good. it's been about 2 nights and although my sleeping pattern hasn't gotten any better I haven't heard anything....yet.
Ahh well...we shall see.
I have to write about it.
