Things that make you go Hmm?

 

I’m over at Sue Vincent’s blog today, once again sharing an eerie story for her Elusive guest post series.

Do you believe in spirits? Have you ever sensed a ghost in your home?

 

The Lady

Many people are skeptical about ghosts until they actually encounter an experience they have no other explanation for. I always believed in spirits. I may have been skeptical when I was younger, but through the years, I have had encounters several times with my dear father who had passed more than twenty years ago. Those encounters were enough for me to banish any skepticism I had.

My sister is very different than me in many ways, especially her beliefs in ghosts. She never acquired ‘the gift’ of having a sixth sense and many times throughout our lives, she’d laugh at my stories and tell me I was crazy, except when I told her about my visit to heaven. She believed without a doubt I had visited our father.

Something changed her beliefs though, when she moved into her current house over thirty years ago. She began to experience weird occurrences with electronics in her home. Often, her kids would watch TV in the basement and hear strange noises from upstairs when nobody else was home. Even the dogs would hide. Their TV had shut off and turned on many times through the years on its own, and they witnessed the channels changing on the TV, landing on bizarre stations, usually pertaining to death, right in the middle of watching a video on TV.

Through the years, my sister and her family began to accept the fact that a spirit was living in their home, and my sister no longer denied her belief in spirits. She had occasionally noticed an odd shadow cast on her bedroom wall which had no bearing on whether-or-not the sunlight shone through the window. She said the shadow was in the shape of a woman, whom she felt was with child. My sister presumed the Lady was the ghost in her house, which justified all the strange occurrences that often went on.

Fast forwarding to last year, something very frightening, yet bizarre happened. While my sister and her boys were out at work, a fire started in her home. Continue Reading . . .

Ashes – Ode to my father

Today's thought

 

He comes to me through scent of smoke,

with hurried beats, my heart evokes.

Though decades past, time is still,

the missing years, my heart does fill.

Memories and laughter pass through my mind,

Unsettled pasts, yet still I find,

Remembered moments which touch my heart,

Your scent of smoke reminds, we’re not far apart.

To you I gave concern, love and care,

Subtle reminders comfort, you are everywhere.
