Crash!

Last night I was in bed asleep when I was startled awake by what sounded like toys being dumped onto the floor. It was late (around midnight), but I thought the boys had gotten out of bed and had decided to play with their toys. I quietly got out of bed and walked down the hallway to their bedroom and carefully opened the door. Both boys were fast asleep in their beds and nothing was out of place in their room.

Lexie was laying on the couch in the living room watching TV (the living room is directly under the boys room), and she said she also heard the crash and said she could hear whatever it was hit the floor above her. She too thought it was the boys and was shocked to find that they were asleep.

TV

I am currently home alone. 

Before leaving the house, my brother was watching a show on TV. After he let, I paused the show. The way the TV is set up, when a show is paused for an extended period of time, the TV turns itself off. It has been almost an hour since my brother left, so needless to say, the TV was powered off.

Well as I was sitting here at my computer, all of a sudden I heard noise behind me and turned to find the TV on and the show playing. Now you can turn the TV back on by simply wiggling the mouse that is attached to it, but you have to manually turn the program that was running back on to get the show to play again. Both were on and playing.

Who goes there?

A few nights ago I was sitting on the computer reading through posts on Cafemom. The only people home with me at the time were sound asleep here in the living room. 

I suddenly heard a door open upstairs and someone walk slowly down the hallway and then down the stairs. I thought nothing of it at the time because I am so used to the sound, but then it hit me....no one was up there!

I literally heard them come all the way down the stairs and actually got up to check expecting to see someone standing on the bottom step. Nothing.

Voices and Touches

Lately everyone in the house seems to be hearing voices. Sometimes it is the sound of one of the other family members calling another. Sometimes it is the sound of someone whispering in another room. The other night I was blow drying my hair and I heard someone yell mom several times and I actually stopped a few times to see who it was.

Also, last night someone kept touching me to wake me up. It is just a light tap, but enough to wake me and have me get up expecting to see someone there. My husband wakes me up by tapping my side in the morning and it feels much like that, but always happens in the middle of the night.

They're here!

Seemingly out of nowhere, the activity here has really picked up.

Sunday night Lexie and I went downtown to the Driskill Hotel to see Chip Coffey. Apparently while we were there, my husband was hearing odd sounds and what appeared to have been distant voices. When Lexie and I returned home that night, we were playing around with a phone application called Ghost Radar that is supposed to pick up on energies and make words out of it as well as show little blips on the radar that are disturbances in the energies around us. Shortly after playing around with this application, we went to bed. As I was trying to sleep, I kept hearing distant music...kind of like someone playing a guitar far away. I couldn't make out where it was coming from (not outside or next door). Later that same night I awoke to the sound of someone talking and rolled over in bed and happened to see someone standing in the hallway looking into my room. I kind of blinked and looked again and no one was there. Whoever it was, they were about as tall as me and wearing white.

The last two nights we have had odd noises and the air has had a "charged" feeling to it in some of the rooms.

Quiet

I haven't posted here in a while. Not much has really been happening lately.

The other night I was laying down in bed because I wasn't feeling well. Gabe had just been up in the room talking to me. I was laying so that I was facing the window and felt someone tug on the blanket like they were trying to get my attention. I rolled over thinking Gabe had returned and was checking to see if I was asleep yet or not, but no one was there.

Gabe also has been coming into whatever room I am in lately and going "what". He has been hearing me say, "hey Gabbo" or "hey Gabe" a lot lately. When he hears it, I have not said a single word nor has anyone else.

Little People?

When sitting at my desk, you can see into the kitchen clearly as my desk is up against the bar that separates the kitchen from my office (which is supposed to be a dining room). 

The past few days I have been seeing what appears to be the top of my three year old son's head moving through the kitchen. All I see if the very top as it moves across the kitchen. I always sit up more when I see it to see what my son is doing (he likes to steal cheese from the fridge), but 99% of the time I find the kitchen empty.

Phones

We have one of those phones that has the main base and then two additional phones with their own chargers than you can place anywhere in the house. The main base sits on my desk. One of the phones is in the kitchen. The other phone is upstairs in our bedroom.

I was sitting here at my desk watching a movie and happened to glance over and noticed that the phone "line in use". I thought it was odd because I could see two phones from where I was sitting and the only person upstairs was Lexie. I checked each phone downstairs. Both were fine. I went upstairs and the phone was laying on the floor (where I left it) and was on. No one had been in that room for HOURS, so I have no clue how it got turned on.

Hey! I saw that!

Lately, it has been very quiet around here as far as activity goes. I haven't really experienced much at all. However, last night I did have a small incident that I thought was worthy of writing down.

Saturday is laundry day in our house and due to this I had a basket full of folded laundry sitting in my "office" area next to my desk. The basket was pretty full and had a few of Gabe's button-up shirts draped over the top so that they hung down over the side of the basket. I had been in the living room talking to Gabe and walked into the office area and just as I did the end of his shirt that was hanging over the side of the basket flipped up about an inch and then settled back down. I know it wasn't my imagination because the shadow that the shirt cast on the floor moved too. No one had been in the room. We have no pets at the moment. There was no draft strong enough to move the shirt that much. I even picked up the shirt and shook it out thinking maybe a bug or lizard came in from outside and got on it (since it was near the back door). Nothing was found.

Last Night

Last night, I was sitting in my bed reading for school. I had the bedroom door wide open and was home with just Orion (who was sleeping in his crib) and Lexie (who was downstairs watching TV). As I was sitting there reading, the door suddenly creaked as if it had moved. There was no draft. Just a moment later, I heard the floorboards at the foot of my bed creak. I continued reading with my head down and saw white appear in the bedroom doorway as if someone was walking into the room. I immediately looked up and no one was there.

Flashes and White Blurs

I think I posted too soon yesterday.

Last night I went up into my bedroom to get some studying done for school. Out of the corner of my eye, I would randomly see a small white blur moving near my bathroom sink (my sink is in my bedroom in a little nook with the closet door on one side and a door to the rest of the bathroom on the other). The blur was always moving right to left and was low to the ground.

Later on, I started seeing random flashes of light in the same area.

Quiet

Things have been pretty quiet around here lately. Nothing to report.
