Strange Picture (taken at my mother's house)

By this time, most people who read this blog know about the paranormal conditions at my mother's house. The picture we are going to discuss today was taken there by me a few months ago. I don't think anything unusual had been going on in the house during that time. I sometimes just snap a few pictures for later examination and this happens to be one of them that made me go, "Whoa, now what is that?"

Clearly, you can see a white blobby thing in the chair to the right. There are several reasons why I think this is a significant photo and could be spirit-related.

1. Ectoplasm ( a physical manifestation of a ghost/spirit) can appear opaque in photographs. It is common for it to show up in photos but is hard to see with the naked eye.

2. It is all over the chair as if it is "sitting" there. That small brown square thing is actually part of the wooden armrest on the chair and the blobby white thing is all around it. Imagine yourself sitting there with your arm dangling around the arm rest. The way it goes down into the carpet is also interesting.

3. No, no, no it is not a reflection from the window on the other side of the room. Have you ever in your life seen a reflection look like that?

4. No one else was in the room with me when I took the picture. No one was in there blowing cigarette smoke around. There was no fire in the adjacent stove so it is not wood smoke or obviously we would have called the fire department. So you can toss those explanations out the window. And while we're at it, it was not caused by "the wind" ( my all time favorite skeptic-explanation for anything weird or unusual).


So there you have it. A little more compelling evidence to mull over. I can't explain it, you can't explain it and we'll probably never know for sure but I'm going with GHOST.

Unexplained Voices

Lately, I have had a few unusual experiences for which a sane explanation could not be found. I don't think my house has any particular "spirit" or anything like that in it. It seems to be more of a case of someone trying to make contact with me. But I can't be sure so I digress.

Anyway, about two weeks ago, my son, Scott and I were the only two people at home. We were getting ready to leave the house and were in the porch getting our coats on. Scott went downstairs for a moment and then out of the blue I heard a man in our upstairs living room say something. I could not make out what it was, but it was a man's voice and he said a whole sentence. I did not think it was anything unusual and just assumed I had left the tv on, although I was quite sure I had turned it off. So I went to check it out, but the tv was off.

Last week, my husband, Shaun and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant.

We had a scrumptious dinner and afterwards Shaun went across the room to pay the bill. The restaurant was not particularly busy and not very noisy. Suddenly, and very clearly, I heard a man's voice whisper, "Rebecca!" It seemed to come from only a few feet away from me, not from the other side of the room where Shaun was paying the bill. But I looked in that direction anyway just in case and realized it had not come from there. The voice was a loud whisper, that's the best I can describe it.It didn't come from another diner in the restaurant. I didn't know anyone there and no one was paying attention to me. I asked Shaun about it anyway, in case it had been him but he did not know what I was talking about.

So whoever is doing the talking has my attention...now what?? Show yourselves! (Just not in the middle of the night at the foot of my bed, please and thank you.)
