My Stories...as they happen. (More earlier stories on the Frequently Asked Questions page.)

• 09-07-09: While I was on the couch watching T.V.it shut off by it self. Just to explain how odd this was. The power in the house didn't shut off nor did I hit the remote by accident...Wesley ate the remote some months ago, and when I want to turn the T.V. off I have to do it the old fashioned way...walk over to it and turn it off by hand.


• 5-18-2010: I have posted below 2 pictures of something that happened this morning when I was out of the house. It is of a candle that sits in a metal pedestal on the coffee table in the living room. In the first picture is how it normally sits, and the second picture is of how I found it when I came home. I know that it wasn't the dog because I close the pocket door to the room when I leave. I have learned that he is still too young to be trusted with the antique things. If you notice it looks as if the candle was picked up, the base placed on the floor, and the candle set back down on the table...minus the base.
  


• 7-15-10: The other night Wesley (my Boston Terrier) was on the bed upstairs and I noticed he was looking at the opposite side of the room. There is a couch that sits there. His eyes were moving around as if to look at something, but there was nothing there. I sat on the bed in front of him, and he looked around me. I waved my hand in front of him, and he still looked at the couch??? Eventually we went downstairs...it was time to eat.
  On a side note: This morning, Wesley's right eye was shut. I'm not sure what it is, but when I got him they sent him home with eye medicine. I assume it's allergy related. So when it happens I just put the stuff in his eye. At the same time I notice a little pain in my right eye. When I looked in the mirror one side of the eye was bloody. Probably from a scratch, but it was just weird we both had it on the same morning...in the same eye.


• 7-20-10: During The Night... Upstairs, before I go to sleep I always turn on the overhead fan, and an oscillating fan off to the side of the bed. Last night I went to sleep about midnight, then woke up at at around 1:30. I decided to go to the bathroom, but before I did I turned on the T.V. When I came back into the room the fan was off. I thought I had forgotten to turn if on ...so I did. It has 3 levels, Hi, Medium, and Low. Meaning, I always turn it 3 times to get to low. Which I did, and went back to bed. When I got up at 6:00 this morning I went over to turn the fan off, and it was already off. I turned the knob to see if it had just stopped working, but it came on. It had been turned all the way over into the off position.


• 9-2-10: Two mornings in a row I found the coffee pot had turned on before I had made any coffee... You have to press the button down for it to come on. It's not equipped with a timer. It's kind of like when the fan turned off. The first time it could have by some chance been me, but the next morning??? As I said I had not even got the coffee ready.


• 9-28-10: At about 2:30 p.m. I had just let the dog out, and came back in to get the bird seed for the birds, and I heard a Lady talking. I had no radio or T.V. on, and it stopped when I got into the back door. It didn't come from outside. It sounded close enough to be from across the room, or in the very next room. I couldn't make out what was said.


• 10-20-10: The night before last I had just gotten home from work and saw that Wesley (who had previously chewed through a camera wire), had pulled apart the splice where I had once again fixed the camera. While fixing it I had the cameras up on the computer screen so I could adjust a camera, and had come into the library (where the computer was) to see if I had the angle right. When I looked at the screen I saw a figure entering the same room that I had just come in to. I thought it was me, and the camera was delayed (even though they are in real time). So I tried it 4 more times, and did not see it again. So, was it me, or someone following me...a very creepy thought.
• 10-29-10: A story for the Eve of Halloween Eve. I hat gotten home after work last night it was about 10:30, and I went upstairs to turn down the bed. After that the dog and I usually eat. As I got to the top of the stairs I caught a glimpse of the bottom of a dark shadow going into the last bedroom on the right. I say "Dark" because it was blacker than a shadow would be. I only saw the bottom because I was looking at the floor coming up the stairs. I didn't see feet, just a dark shape moving into the room. I went into my bedroom to get my digital voice recorder, but it was having problems so that was no help.
• 9-9-11: Just wanted to mention a couple of things that happened yesterday. I'm not passing judgement on them, but still I wanted to put them into the record. First, early yesterday morning (5:30 a.m.) both the dog and I were awaken by what sounded like something falling in the stairway (I say there because the sound seemed to echo). I listened, and didn't hear anything else so I went to the hallway and turned on the light to the stairway )in case someone were breaking in), turned it back off, and went back to bed. When I got up I looked around the stairs, and the rest of the house thinking I would find something that had fallen, but I didn't. Second: I have a bathroom off the kitchen, and when I leave for work I shut the door because Wesley likes to grab the towels and chew on them. Now he can reach up, turn the knob, and go in, but it's usually works on the "Out of site, out of mind" theory. Last night I got home from work, and saw a towel on the kitchen floor, so I knew he had been in the bathroom, but when I looked at the bathroom door it was shut. As I said, he can open the door (it opens in), but I really don't know how he would be able to pull the door shut?
• 9-11-11: I came downstairs this morning and found the coffee pot had been turned on....again. Some of you might remember this happening before. So did I, so I looked it up, and it was last year on Sept 2nd that I had posted this same thing occurring. The difference is now I have a different coffee pot, You still have to turn it on by pushing the switch (no timer). I found it interesting that it was almost exactly a year later.
• 10-19-2011: I was awaken last night by 4 faint rapping sounds (knock, knock, knock, knock). It sounded like it came from the door that leads to the stairs, it was closed. I listened, but heard no more.
• 11-10-11: Just heard the sound of glass breaking, and I can't find the broken glass. I've looked upstairs, downstairs, in the basement, checked all the windows, and evry corner 3 times, and the broken glass eludes me. I even went outside...no broken glass anywhere.
• 1-10-2012: Two nights ago while making dinner I heard a dog bark in the house...and again the following night also while making dinner, but it wasn't my dog. Each night it barked just once.
• 1-28-2012: Adjacent to my bedroom is another bedroom who's double doors I keep locked at night. I was awaken this morning by a knock on those doors.
