House Journal

Nine · Posted: Jan Tue 20, 2009 9:48 am Post subject: House Journal

Hello everyone, here is my house journal. I have recently been compiling it so I apologize for its lenght and the fact that I have yet to out everything in chronological order. For the most part it is though.

Built in 1864
Owned by the LaSalle family (could only find what is believed to be a woman’s first name) – owned a large area on what is now , and road.

Early 1980’s both farm houses and over 100 acres purchased by Mr. and Mrs. S – The lived in the house next door and at some point in the 1980’s rented then sold to and T
Side note: S had made several comments that she and her 1st husband lived in the house prior to her and Arney, if he did it was for an extremely short time, however I do not believe her 1st husband actually lived in the house. S had also commented several times that her son was killed at **** by her first husband and the body was never found. I am certain this is not correct either. As of 5 years ago Ss only known son was enlisted in the service. At some point during the 10+ years she lived in the house S suffered a serious car accident and I believe suffers form a mental illness, showing signs that are almost schizophrenic like. I have been told prior to her accident she was relatively normal.

In the early 1990’s the bank foreclosed on the Ts and the house was purchased by J and A M. They lived in the house about 6 years with there adult son and his daughter, when they got divorced. At that time for some unknown reason A was claiming she had cancer (still unfounded to this day) that she contracted from the water at 2972. She also had developed what appeared to be a mental illness of sorts and deterred potential home buyers from purchasing the house by claiming that things were wrong with it, however her claims were false.. I believe she just did not want to leave the home.

C and I purchased the house and moved in on March 18, 1996. We separated in 1997 and divorced in April of 1998. A Quit Claim Deed at that time was given to me by Chris at that time.

I remarried in April of 2000 and divorced again in February of 2002.

In 2006 we began housing older kids (16 and up) for Lutheran Social Services who are transitioning out of foster care and into independent living.

From the time we moved into the house we had “occurrences”. Christopher turned two the day we moved in and right away refused to sleep in his room. He told us he did not like the “eye pops” in his room. The best description we could get out of him was balls of light that moved around the room in a shooting star-like motion.

I had decorated his room in Noah’s ark stuff which I could not keep on the wall. I had re-anchored the items several times, increasing the height each time at first thinking Christopher had been pulling at the items. Finally I removed the décor because I was afraid of them falling on to one of the kids.

It was around that time when Christopher had started having night terrors about witches who pinched.

It was around this time that there were several occasions I saw what I though was Christopher’s shadow running from one room to another or coming from the stairs only to find him asleep in his bed.

We could hear (and often still do) what sounded like foot steps walking back and forth upstairs. Mainly in Victoria’s room, sometimes this would last for hours or just several seconds. Sometimes it would sound as if someone was doing something up there, like moving things but when we went up there things were undisturbed.

In October of 1997 I was awakened by a ladies voice calling my name about three o’clock in the morning. The voice was urgent, I woke up and went to check on the kids and could hear a hysterical child’s cry out side on our brick area. I found Christopher standing outside sobbing. He claims to have heard what he thought was his dad’s voice calling him out into the front yard. He said the door was unlocked and when he got to the outside basement doors, a voice told him not to go to the front yard. He turned around and claims to have seen Jesus sitting there with an angle standing on either side of him. He said Jesus held his hands out to him and he wanted to sit on Jesus’ lap when he noticed he could see through him, which is when he got frightened and began to cry. After several days of Christopher claiming he saw Jesus I asked him what Jesus looked like. Christopher stated he looked like the pizza guy. I thought he was referring to the kid who delivered pizza to our house……quite often. About a week or so later we ordered pizza, Little Caesars, Christopher pointed to the box and said “Jesus was dressed like that.” At that point the kids and I had not attended church, our family is not overly religious.

It was at this point Christopher began sleeping in my room. He slept there for about a year when I moved him back up stairs, but into his sister’s room, where he could not see into his room or he refused to sleep in there also.

From 1996 through 2007 occurrences we have witnessed in the house have been: Shadowy figures (human shape), movement in rooms that were empty, jumping from the stairs into the middle of the dinning room floor. Christopher and seldom Victoria would stand on the third step up and jump into the middle of the dinning room floor, creating a vibration on the floor and the duct below vibrates. This also occurred when the children were not home. This is very distinct from the vibrations felt when the furnace kicks on. It was not uncommon when the children were younger that the antics of what ever is in this house to mimic the children’s activity, even when they were not home. While walking towards his train set in the basement, Christopher got about half way to it and the train set turned on and the train began going around the track, he went hysterical and the train turned off. He demanded the train be packed up and sold, which we did. Victoria did have several occasions when younger (about 3) where she thought there was a little girl in her room, dressed in a long white nightgown type dress. She often spoke to the apparition in a mature way, as in the talk was not like a 3 year old talking to another 3 year old.

I have felt and seen shadows crawl across my bed and Christopher has felt things grab his hands and feet while settling into bed.

In 2000 I was waiting for my husband to come home when I heard the back door unlock, open and footsteps across the kitchen floor. I then saw the reflection of a male figure in the den window (which can be seen if sitting on the north wall of the living room.) I was scared to death and was trying to figure out how to get to the phone to call the police with out confronting this intruder and keep Christopher safe, who was setting next to me. Seconds later my husband pulled up. We checked the house upside down. No one was in the house. Days later my sister stood in such a way that I could see her reflection in the window. If there had been someone in the house and I saw their reflection, they would have had to have been standing in the doorway of the living room, right in front of Christopher and I.

I have had a ring that was given to me, fall off outside while I was moving rocks, only to turn up in an odd place inside the house.

In the second week of October, 2006 I was writing my dearest friend about an upcoming event while sitting next to my daughter. I turned my left hand over (which is the hand I write with) and on the palm of my hand was a large cross with a smaller cross on both sides, there was a downward arc underneath the crosses as if the crosses were setting on a hill. To the lower right it almost looked like a head and shoulders of a body outline looking at the crosses. I had been using blue ink pen to write with and this looked as if it had been done with lead pencil. It would not come off though. My son called my sister over it and she took a few photos with her camera. By the next morning it was gone.

The intensity began to increase in the fall of 2006. Victoria and I walked into the house when we heard a fierce growl. It was fierce enough that quickly I closed the exterior door, leaving us still outside and peered through the window. My first thought was the sliding door in the next room had been left open and a dog had gotten in. I carefully reopened the door instructing Tori to set in the truck while I looked around. The sliding door was locked and there was nothing in the house. I had another incident of this growling while walking through my bedroom. The most severe case of it though was in February 2008. Christopher was cleaning his room upstairs when I heard the most horrific scream from my son. It was shear terror. He can running down the stairs to which the stairway door was halfway shut. As he approached the middle step he decided to jump as he felt something was after him. As he jumped his foot went through the hallow wood door, breaking his small toe. Still in a panic, he ran through the dinning room, through the kitchen where he fell and crawled to me still screaming. By this time I had the phone in my hands preparing to get into the truck as I believed there to be someone in the house. Christopher could barely speak, when I calmed him down he said he had felt a negative presence in his room when he felt a sensation on his ear and then heard a fierce growl. He was unaware of the growling his sister and I had experienced as he has been frightened by occurrences in the past so we felt it was better not to tell him. At that point and still today he will not go into his room after dusk, usually not even with another person.

2006/2007

To date the only problem we have ever had in the guest bedroom (which is now Christopher’s bedroom) was when we had a teen placed whit us through Lutheran Social Services. There were two occasions my father had come to our house to help me with some remodeling. No one else was there at the time but him. When I arrived home he made a comment about our LSS teen being restless in her room the last two days he had been there, but thought it was odd she never came out of the room. I explained to him the girl had been removed two weeks prior and put in residential housing. He was absolutely the only one in the house at those times.

While the girl was there she had a habit of leaving her fan in the window, turned on and leaving for the night. I would always have to check and make sure the window was closed and the fan was turned off. On two occasions I had cracked the door to check the fan and found it turned off, only to go back later and hear it running.

On another occasion I heard her fan running and went to enter her room to turn it off. The door has no lock on it. I tried to open the door but it would not open. The knob would turn and I could hear the lever thing sliding so I know was working properly. It was as if someone slightly stronger than me was pushing against the door so I could not get in it. I asked my son if he knew of any reason why J would not want me to enter that room and he said no. So then I thought maybe something had fallen after the door was shut and was preventing me from opening it. My son walked back to with room with me, reached out his hand, and opened the door with absolutely no resistance. We looked around and nothing was behind or by the door.

That room is in a newer part of the house, added on around 1960’s. It is the room the three of us feel the most comfortable in.
2008

Over the last year or so the intensity of occurrences had increased. We see shadowy figure both at night and in broad daylight. So much so, that my son has been uncomfortable staying alone even during the day at times. He has seen a grey shadow several times passing behind or beside him following the growling incident several months ago.

During this time, Christopher did decide to stay home one evening when I was at class. He called my phone (which he realizes I do not answer until break) and sounded distressed and saying he had a severe headache. He called back about 30 minutes later and the message, in his voice said “I found a bottle of something and I took some of them for my headache”. I freaked and tried desperately to call him back and no one answered the house phone or his cell phone. I began to panic and called my mother as she was only 7 miles a way from him and I was 30 miles away. She answered her phone and said Christopher was with her, she had picked him about 25 minutes prior. I asked her what Christopher had taken and how much. She asked what I was talking about. I told her about the message Christopher had left (called from his cell phone) and both her and Christopher are adamant that she had already picked him up before that time, he had left his phone at home and the only other message he had left was one that said he had called from his grandmothers phone letting me know his grandmother came and got him. I listened to the second message from Christopher’s phone again but the message was only static this time.

After much (years in fact) persuading from my sister, I agreed to let some friends of hers who do paranormal investigations come into the home. Unfortunately they were there only a few hours as there was a sever thunderstorm.
A few hours after the paranormal investigators left because of a severe thunderstorm the phone rang, it was a dear friend. Minutes later the power went out. I had already prepared by lighting candles just in case. I plugged in the traditional corded phone awaiting my friend to call back. I said out loud “please call back, please, please hurry, call back” when I heard a voice, male, authoritative say “NO”. The cat must have heard it also as her head turned to the direction of the voice which came from the large dinning room. I blew out the candles and left immediately.

Several days later I was walking through the dinning room while talking to my grandfather about having the house blessed. There was a very hot spot on the floor near the table. I took a look in the basement to make sure nothing was wrong.

About three week after the paranormal people had been to the house I had scheduled for a pastor to bless the house. The pastor and two other members came out to the house. The two days prior to the blessing the house was so noticeably silent, so still. you could tell there was nothing there. The cat must have noticed this as every 2-3- hours she systematically sniffed and search every single corner of the house then would hide under the sink. She did this for two days. The pastor and guests came out and blessed every room and exterior doorway except the back sliding door which he forgot (and I did nor realize). He did not cast and stated several times the there was nothing in the house. Once he did state however in the small room of Christopher’s that he did sense turmoil in that room, but then sort of retracted that to say there was nothing in the house.

We had all been through the basement as a group during this blessing. After the Pastor and one guest left, my grandfather, the kids and I showed my grandfather where the hot spot was on the floor. We then went to the basement for further investigation. Although everything has been updated in the house my grandfather wanted to make sure everything looked right as far as ductwork and wiring. On the floor directly beneath where the hot spot was Sinder, a little toy from years ago that had came in a Taco Bell happy meal advertising a video game ( I can not remember the name of the video game). I though the toy had been thrown away years ago. The toy is a sinder, from fire, he had a little devil tail. We all took it out to the trash and threw it away. That toy had defiantly not been there when the five of us had been in the basement earlier. Where the toy was laying, we all walked over that very spot no less than twice.

For several days the house was silent with no feelings. Then one evening the cat wanted to be let inside through the sliding door. I had this dreaded feeling not to open that door. The feeling was heavy but I let the cat in the door anyways. With in minutes I heard footsteps in Toris’ room again walking across the floor.

Other than a few very minor noises and shadowy figures the house had not been too disturbed.

On July 28 while I was getting things ready for a training while at the S county DHS. At 6:24 pm I checked my cell phone as I was expecting tori to text me soon. My phone displayed an outgoing call to St. Vincent Guardian and the number called was *7**078#*****8874*44* followed by two rows of 6’s. This is obviously not an actual number nor had I called or been called by St. Vincent Guardian, I am not familiar with this name. Several hours later when Ann and I were leaving the building, she had used the rest room. Out of my peripheral vision I saw a white human shape shadow walk between two cubicles. I asked Ann if we were the only two left in the building and she confirmed that we were in fact the only two in the building.

The next day I ironically receive a call from MPRI. They are coming back out with every one and all equipment on Saturday the 16 of August.

On Saturday, August 3rd I was sitting with my computer in the living room when I heard a rattling noise in the box fan. I looked up just in time to see two little pebbles come shooting through the fan towards me.

To date my father who does not believe in these sort of things has had experiences in the house where he though someone was in the house only to find there was not. My sister has seen several shadows where she though my children where home or entering the house only to find out there were no where around. One such incident almost did involve my sister running my daughter over with her car. She was dropping Victoria off when she turned her head to look at something and out of her sideways vision she did clearly see Victoria walk in front of her car. She turned her head straight forward still seeing Victoria (or what she tough was tori) out of her sideways vision to her left, let off the break, the car edged forward when suddenly Victoria was I front of her car. The car had edged forward enough where Victoria lost her balance a bit which caused her to lean on the hood of the car. It scared the two of them terribly. My sister still is adamant that she saw Victoria Cross in front of her car the first time.

November 14, 2008

The paranormal people came out in late August but the results this time turned up nothing. It is thought that either Christopher not being there or the presence of my mother being there had possibly hindered things. My mother and I have a very strained relationship. The only thing I did notice when the paranormal people were there was while we were outside I felt as if I was being watched by a rather innocent presence from the window of Christopher’s (the guest) bedroom. At first the thought of it upset me because he feels so safe in that room I did not want something to now begin bothering him. I am glad to say he has not experienced anything in that room. I should be getting the documents and tapes from both investigations shortly.

I am ashamed to say, day before the second investigation I had purchased a Ouija board. I am a skeptic of them and am still unsure whether they are deemed prohibited by God. Victoria and I used it twice, in the evenings, it was still daylight out. I was surprised at how well it seemed to work and how quickly. There were several occasions where the planchet would “stutter”, move in a jerky motion before it could move across the board. We asked if anyone was here – yes, If they would like to talk to us – yes, the year – 2008 the name – W ( I believe the next two letters where VI). At that point we could feel a push on the planchet and it sort of freaked us out so we stopped. About three days later we used it again asking the same questions and getting the same answers as before. This time we asked if this presence would be showing themselves when the investigators came and it replied yes. As stated before though it did not.

Christopher learned of the board being in the house several weeks later. He had asked to use it and on Saturday November 8 he and I did. Because we had a quest in the house we wanted to be discrete and began in Cubs downstairs bedroom. Of course we had a lengthy discussion about it since that room has always been a refuge for him (and me ad my daughter as well), I was against it. However he insisted, I am relieved to say NOTHING happened. Not even a twitch. I think Christopher was relieved as well. We moved into the living room and within seconds the board began working. We only use it for a few minutes as we were sitting on the living room floor and out guest was upstairs. We asked if anyone was there – yes, what there name was – W K I, we asked if those were initials – yes. We asked there age –O-L-D. That answer bothered me a little, not sure why. At that point I thought is would be a good idea to put the thing away. Christopher ad I had some more questions we wished to ask so we used it again on Sunday evening. We had a list of questions, which I lost prior to getting the board out. We decided that since we might be more that a few minutes this time we thought we would do it in my room. I felt a little dizzy about it and conveyed that to Christopher. We asked: Is there anyone here – the planchet moved it the lower right corner of the board. Would you like to talk to us – yes, Name – WKI, are those your initials – yes. When where you born – 01. 1901 – no. 1801- no. When were you born – the planchet point was between the 1 and the 2. Were you born in 1802 – yes. Are you a child- no. a women - yes. a girl – no. How old are you – 10. You are 10 – no. are you a child - no. I did not ask but now I wonder if it was trying to say “19”. There were several occasions where the planchet would go between two letters. The only other number next to the 0 is a 9. Did you live in this house – no. did you live on this land – yes. Did you know the Lasalles – no. Cub asked: were you buried on this land - yes. He then asked: Are you buried under the house – no. I asked are you a native American, Indian – no. A settler – yes. How many are here – 2 (we now think that it might have either been referring to cub and I or the at that moment there was only two “spirits” present at the moment). Is there anyone with you – yes. A women - no. a man – yes. Is he your husband – no. Is he your sibling, brother – no. is he your child – no. Is he your friend, lover - yes Was he a settler to – no. Did he live in this house – no, is a native American, Indian – (the planchet moved between yes and no) Is he part Native American and part white – yes. Are either of you the one who growled at cub and frightened him – no. Did you growl at cub – no. Did he growl at cub – no. Is he older than you – no. is he younger than you – no. Is he the same age a s you – (the planchet moved between yes and no, more towards the no). Is ther a child here as well – yes. Did the child growl at cub – No. Do we upset you three – no. do you like us – yes. *At this point the board began to slow down a bit . Do you like Heather – yes. Do you like Cub – yes, do you like Yuriy – (the planchet stayed between yes and no, both times we asked) do you like tori – no. You do not like tori – no. Have we seen you – yes. Are you related to us – no, Cub asked what is our name – C-O (pause) –K. Did you die of a disease – yes.

When we were finished cub noticed how cold his fingers were from the middle knuckle to the finger tips. I think he was rather curious and even slightly upset by it as he is never one to get the least bit cold.

Naturally we are still seeing shadows as before. I usually catch them out of the corner of my eye or there a reflection on the glossy living room floor. I also caught a shadow reflection from the dinning room mirror moving across the kitchen cabinet. Last night (November 13) Tori and I were in the kitchen and the was tending to the dishes from the dishwasher, a plastic piece to the chopper fell, rolled to the kitchen window (which it the direction the floor slopes) before it could hit anything it changed direction and rolled back toward Tor and I who were standing at the sink. We just stood there and looked at each other.

I asked Cub what he thought of the information we hade received from the board. He and I had the same thought. The information may not be a total lie, but probably not a total truth either. One of my favorite movies is about a Native American and a settler, so am not sure if it has honed in on that scenario.

November, 2008

A few days ago around 2 am I was awake doing some computer work on my bed and heard many footsteps in my daughter’s room. My first thought is someone had climbed up in the low roof and had came through her window although I never heard anything on the roof. I thought maybe some high school kids (friends) being a pain. None of them seem the type but that was the only thing I could come up with. I went upstairs and my daughter was fast asleep, her windows were locked. For arguments sake I searched her entire room but obviously there was no one there.

December 2, 2008

I was going to try automatic writing last night but chickened out. Instead opting to converse with one of my interpals from Australia. While was setting in my living room with my computer on my lap I suddenly smelled a floral, perfumy smell. I recognized the scent because t is a scent I own. Crabtree and Evelyn. I have not worn it in months and it is stored no where near the living room. After about 30 minutes the scent was so strong it actually was stinging my eyes and they began to water. After I got up from the computer and washed my face the watering stopped and the smell did not leave the living room.

Well, it was suggested by a friend that I might want to contact my spirit guide, what ever that is. So, after much research on the internet, that is googling the term for about 6 hours I decide to give half hearted attempt while I was laying in bed last night. I have to say, I did have a few unnerving moments. I did the imagery suggestions I found on the net, sans candles and other paraphernalia. I was just creeped out by the though of turning the scene into a whole “ritual” . I have to say, there was a few times when I actually felt I was close to knowing, visualizing or what ever this being. However my concentration would suddenly break or I was freaked out by some of the sensations I was having, such as whispers, which I will return to in a moment and the feeling if a vibration in my body or my surroundings. As far as the whispers, I had heard one of the voices before. It is the same whisper voice I had heard when Christopher had gotten out side and the same whisper voice I hade hear several times when I suddenly knew information I would really have no reason or ability to know. But the there was another voice, I too have heard this voice, only once. I do not like it, it is a males voice. It is the same voice I heard when I was told “no” while waiting from a phone call from my friend.
Then for a brief second twice I did see a figure. It was of a lady. She was wearing a tan colored dress or something , other than the color I really do not remember much about it. She (I think it was a she) had very long dark hair, straight, parted down the center. I really did not get to see her face as I was snatched back, at least that what it felt like, so quickly, I could not get a feeling for her. It did seem as though the skin was so pale for having such dark hair. The first time she was in the motion of standing up as if she had been setting at a table and chair or something. As she stood her face began to turn my way but that is when I was taken aback.

December 5th

An old friend of mine stopped over this evening. And as we were talking he happened to mention in general conversation, about an Indian burial ground that is on his parents property. I can see his parent’s acreage from my back porch. It is a ways across the fields (we live in a rural area) but is close to me none the less. My son and I just looked at each other.

December 10, 2008

As I was walking past the shower wall, as I had done several times that morning, I felt a a very cold breeze pass me on the right side. I could feel this cold breeze on my cheeks, in my hair, on my side, just as if someone had hurriedly walked past me.

About 12 am that night I was in bed talking on the phone to a friend when I heard footsteps coming form either the basement of the upstairs stair wells (one is directly above the other). I pulled the phone away from my ear but the noise had stopped. I went back to talking on the phone when the footsteps became louder and I could hear them coming through the hall way part of my master bathroom, I turned to look to see if one of the kids were coming through and waited for the “mom” however no one spoke a word. I felt as if there was something defiantly standing there but did not see anything. I was afraid I was going to scream (expecting something to appear to happen) I hurried off the phone, so much so that it worried the person I was talking to enough where they drove out to my house to see what was going on. I had not given an explanation as to why I had to end the conversation but apparently there was enough fear in my voice where the person though there was someone (intruder) in the house that was not allowing me to talk or “alert” someone, that my friend drove over to my house.

December 11, 2008

Last night as I was in bed on the phone again around 11:30 pm, I heard that tapping sound. It is really strange because I had my closet light on. Over the last 12 years if I keep a light on the noise stops and does not return. I also had my fan on (as usual, to drowned out bumps in the night). It really bothered me because turning a light on, any light on, has always “prevented” for lack of a better word, the noise form returning. I ended up turning the bathroom light on also and the noise did not come back. However, I could not sleep with my back towards the bathroom as it felt like someone was there. I left the fan on but I had almost turned it off at that point as the room seemed “windy”. Noises where coming through the heater/fan that were “windy” as well as the heater/fan noises itself. I really felt bothered by it, like something was trying to come through it. I decided thought that the tapping noises, should they return were worse than the windy noise so I left it on.
In August of 2007 I had photos taken of us at the lake. I had brought the photos home from the photographer and after looking at them put them in a neat pile inside their plastic coverings until I could frame them. I woke up the next morning and two chars were pulled out form the table in the larger dinning room and the photos were displayed side by sire each other on the table.

Part II

In the Summer of 2006 I had two mirrored crosses I had hanging as a decoration on the side of the mudroom widow (inside the frame of the window, the frame is very thick). At some point during the day when the kids and I were out of the house the bottom cross had fallen off the nail and was shut in the window. The thing is it was standing up, as if it were propping the window open. The cross is now cracked at the bottom. I have never had the window shut by itself before, nor has it since. In fact you typically have to hit the pane in order to open or shut the window and it still takes some force to move it.

To date we have seen many shadowy figures. Years ago when the children were small we consistently seen one that we often thought was my son. Only to be able to confirm it was not. In the last year I have seen one several times that at several times I had mistaken for my daughter, the height, hair length and gestures were similar to hers, only to realize my daughter was not home (my sister has experienced this one several times as well).

My son has seen figures during the day. One of them in particular really bothers him. He began seeing it the day after it was believed he had made the phone call to me, that my mother and him swear he did not make. He claims the figure is dark, stands about his height, maybe a little taller (5’8) and has a hooded top on, as he described it, similar to a hoody. He claims the entity will stand there until, or paces behind him (from several feet away) until he turns around. He says it has never gotten closer than maybe 8 feet to him. My son does not like this and seems to think this is the entity that growled at him. The longer it takes for my son to acknowledge the “thing” the longer it seems to linger. Once he does, I guess it disappears.

An excerpt from a response I received, not sure if this gives any more insight: A few things my sister had picked up on is we seem to have an increase in the severity of activity when 1) there is more than just the three of us living in the house (me and my two children), and 2) A week or two before something is going to happen. For instance we just had about a week and a half of seeing shadows, hearing heavy footsteps in parts of the house we normally do not hear them and feeling a strong negative presences, and low and behold my children's paternal grandfather, to make the story short, had went to great lengths to arrange an activity on our community to which my daughter was conveniently asked to dance at. He used it as an opportunity to meet them, unbenounced to me as he has not seen them since they were babies. Since Saturday, the day of the activity, the house has been significantly more settled.

Last winter a friend of mine from high school stayed with us for about three weeks as he was transitioning from a divorce. We had a lot of activity that really rattled us during that time. When he left the severity of the experiences really settled down back to what I call the basic "bumps in the night" stuff. One incident in particular that bothered me was I woke up about 2:30 in the morning because my wood blinds were being rustled quite fiercely. Our cat does this when she wants to be let outdoors in the middle of the night. So of course I thought it was her until I got to the window and realized she was not there and had actually been outside all night, I had forgotten to let her in before I went to bed.

Our cat often acts very, very strangely. That is one thing the pastor was consistent on when he came to bless the house. He felt something was odd enough he blessed the cat! Since things have begun again there have been a few times that she has refused to go into my room, generally though she sleeps on my bed almost every night. We have had a few occasions where she has not allowed the kids to get off the stairs or me out of my bedroom. She will pace the doorway, hair standing up, hissing, teeth and claws showing. If you go to step over her she will grab right on to you and tare into you. She did this to me last week right after the incident I had where I had heard footsteps while I was talking on the phone. After things had settled down, I went into my room and when I went to come back out to turn out a light I had overlooked, she laid into me. One cut was bad enough it could have probably used some glue in it. The rest of the night she remained sitting in my door way and did not move. We have had to lock her in a room several times when people have entered the house as she will scratch, bite and chase our guests. Since the house blessing (which as I said in the last post, ended up only being a temporary fix) she cries all of the time and walks around hissing, inside and out. The vet says she is fine.

December 29

I decided to try and use the board myself last night. It worked pretty good. It was still daylight hours and I said a prayer for protection before doing it. The planchet moved better than I thought it would. It automatically started moving to QIBEC then to QIBECEC. I asked of that was the name of what ever was there and it said yes. I asked about a secret I have been keeping and in a nut shell asked if it was going to remain safe with me and the entity replied yes. Once again the basic questions were asked, did you live in the house…no, did you live in the area, on the land…yes. Are you Native American…No. I pretty much ended it there. I tried again on the 29th, around 6pm. It worked good at first but then seemed to have difficult moving. I went through the questions I had before, got the same answers. I also asked if CP would be released in 2009…yes. Long story short, from what I can decipher He will get notice of seeing the board in May but not see then until August. I will be present and he will shortly receive notice he will be released. It indicated that he will be allowed to reside with us and not made to live at another residence. It also indicated that we will have a son. Of course I am not getting any of my hopes up for several obvious reasons. Something also compelled me to ask if “it” was the entity who told me NO, it replied …Yes I asked if we had seen it before…yes. Was I related to it…No. Then it moved the planchet over the letters, in order… HUGS. It did so twice. Kind of creepy!

Cub alerted me this morning that around 12:30 last night he was laying in bed on his stomach and he seen something on his ceiling out of the corner of his eye. it was above him, it was a blackish shadow but he could still make out a face, from chest up, he could make out shoulders and a head. When he turned his head to get a better look at it moved .He decided to look away and close his eyes, when he did he felt coldness come over his back. He had not been aware until just now that I had used the board.

Around 4:30 am I thought I hade heard footsteps pacing back and forth in the kitchen for maybe about 3 minutes then I thought I heard the back door shut.

January 6, 2009

Over the last few days there have been a few incidents with my cell phone that are rather odd. The first occurrence was on Friday, January 2. I was sitting next to my friend and he received a text message that said it came from my phone. The text message was unreadable as his phone said the message content had failed. This same thing happened two evenings later. I had not texted him either time, the first time I was sitting right next to him and my phone was not even in my hand. This happened again last night. I texted him to say I was “passing Chandler road” (at 7:48 pm). He went to respond and when he went to push “reply” another text came through from me that said “I am in a meeting”. He thought that was odd since he knew I was in my truck as he had just talked to me a few minutes before I sent the passing text message. I do not have a quick key that uses the phrase “I am in a meeting” and I had put my phone down between the seats after the passing text. All three times my phone shows no outgoing message. When he went back to find the “meeting” text message it was not in any of his folders except he did have a blank text to me in hi draft folder. He said he does not use the draft feature.

The week of January 6th, 2008

Late this week I was fully awake as a house guest of ours had just left for work. It was about 4:30 am and I felt pressure on my lower leg, first the comforter and blankets form around my leg then pressure similar to a hand wrapped around my leg. The cat was not in the house at the time so I know it was not her.

Sunday January 11, 2008

I had woke up around 4 am to use the small bathroom. As I was walking back to my bedroom the cat attacked me twice with her claws and her teeth. She got more aggressive as I approached the bedroom.

Over the last few days my phone seems to light up the front display for no reason when I am home, there is no way the buttons could have been pushed.
