Meet my ghost

For awhile now, I have suspected we have a ghost or ghosts in our house. Now when I was a kid, this would have freaked me out. As I have gotten older and met people who claim to have knowledge about ghosts or 'spirits' and watched shows or movies about them, I have decided if they do exist, maybe they just need a little help or are having fun but there is not much I can do about it.

When I go to bed everynight, there always seems to be some moments of very intense heat followed by icy cool air. I have not done any research to find out what this means, but a woman I worked with years ago always talked about how her husband's late wife was always showing up when she went to bed by making her side of the bed really cold. So, everytime I feel this heat/cold I think maybe there is someone there trying to get some sleep or something.( As far as I know, my husband does not have a late wife.) A few times I have said out loud, "It is ok to go but if you really want to stay, fine, just don't move things around because I do not see well and I could trip over something and hurt myself." So far, the ghost has been obliging to my request.

I have always kind of joked about this to myself thinking it was silly but then yesterday something unusual happened. The kids were outside and I was cleaning the house to get it ready for company. I was vacuuming the rugs in the hallway when I felt someone walking right behind me as if they came in from the garage. You know how can you feel the thumping from footsteps as a person walks and this was right behind me. Naturally I turned around to see what kid wanted something now for the umpteenth time but no one was there. I went outside to see if the kids were out there and they were out in the driveway. I came back in to see where the dog was and she was sleeping in the family room.

I go back to the vacuum cleaner and try to start it but it doesn't and I look and it has been unplugged! I guess I was disturbing whoever it was but I said, "Look, I have company coming and if you do not like it here, go someplace else!"

I got my vacuumming done and company came and everything was fine....for now. I better go apologize in the hallway....

Have a good one!
