Our Ghostly Guests Weblog

It’s early, just short of 5 am right now, Cheryl and Prince are in the bedroom still sleeping, and I’m sitting in the Teton room with our cat Albert. Albert usually sleeps in the family room. Albert typically sleeps in the family room at night. Actually she sleeps in the family room during the day too. She sleeps a lot period. I wondered last night if she’s ever bothered by noises throughout the night. I thought we’d find out as I put the digital recorder on the banister of the stairway. The way I saw it, if there were more moans and groans coming out from the basement, it’d record them. Any noises in the living room, dining, kitchen, family room, bathroom and utility room, I’d hear them the next morning when I listened.

There was sixteen seconds of recordings on the digital this morning. I could account for my footsteps away from the recorder and back to the recorder. I heard some banging, but I’m sure it was when Cheryl went to the bathroom last night.

Albert just walked away and then came back. As she came back in I could hear footsteps following her that I thought were Cheryl’s on the wood floor. I didn’t call out to her but got up and looked, and Cheryl is still sleeping. Of course, the recorder isn’t on right now.

I’m becoming more concerned that Cheryl seems to be the object of most of the activity. She certainly seems to be more aware of what’s going on than I am. Then again, I’m pretty oblivious at times.

Last night after I got off of the computer Cheryl and I were on the sofa and she jerked her head to the left suddenly. “The chair just moved,” she said.

“What?” I asked totally confused because both of the rocking chairs are in here, in the Teton room. My next thought was that she must be talking about the chair in the living room, but it’s solid, it’s not a rocking chair. She must have seen the confused look on my face.

“That chair rocks, the recliner,” she said exasperated. I told you she wasn’t in a good mood last night! She apologized earlier explaining she was tired, but not ready to go to bed. I asked her what she saw. “It was out of the corner of my eye. I saw Prince,” who lays next to the recliner on a blanket, “look up towards the recliner. That’s when I saw it move.”

I asked Cheryl to show me how much it moved, and it was definitely enough to be noticeable.

If I were investigating all of this activity, instead of living through it, my question, which I’ve stated before in previous posts, would be, “Why is Cheryl the one experiencing most of the activity?”

One reason could be that most of what’s going on is actually poltergeist activity. She was tired, and a little irritable last night. That began when she was at a library trying to use their wireless. For some reason she couldn’t log on, and for some reason I still don’t understand, she fought the losing battle of trying to log on for a while. Now that I think about it, she mentioned she thought her laptop may have been tampered with.

The bag of cheese that flew behind her, happened when she came home from work irritable as well. I’m not sure what her mood was like when my t-shirts came flying off of the hangers.

But then there are all of the incidents that happened when she wasn’t home. The television changing channels by itself, and turning on or off with no apparent reason. This has happened with the stereo as well. I did investigate a poltergeist case years ago in which the activity happened when the young person I thought might be the source was away from the house. It turned out that at the time it happened, she was extremely upset wondering what I was doing in her home while she was away.

There the evps I just caught a couple of days ago. As far as evps go, I’m convinced that some of the recordings I’ve made, and others, are psychokinetic. In other words, they’re the recordings of the experimenters thoughts. Still, I don’t think that this was the case when I did the EVP experiments recently.

I do know when I’m in the presence of a spirit(s) I feel a chill go through my body. When they’re feeding off of my energy, I get goose bumps; both of which I’ve experienced in this house more times than I can remember.

Anyway, today, I’m going to head over to the library and do some research on the town we live in. That may provide some of the answers I’m looking for.
