For The Record...

   Let it be known that 'IT' has returned or is no longer dormant. I wanted to keep track of this for the sake of clarity, sanity and reference. Last night at/around 10:39pm, I had just turned the volume down on the TV and tried to fall asleep. I may have had my eyes closed for 3-5 minutes when I felt an enormous power strike the foot of my mattress. It had the same intensity as maybe a football player tackling someone but the energy was not at a single point. The energy was as wide as the width of the bed, I can liken the feeling to a wave or a tsunami for a bed, if that makes any sense. If the bed was a model for an ocean, what I felt would have been a tsunami-like event. The energy burst at the foot and I felt the entire bed move towards the head. It scared the shit out of me, there was no one in the room but me and that is an awful feeling, knowing there is someone in the room but they are completely invisible. However invisible, they can attack you whenever they want, what a fucking coward. I am at a complete loss for words, I explained it to my Parents and my Dad understood simply because the same thing happened to him. My Mom has not experienced anything except for one time when she actually saw an ashtray fly off the desk I was working at. She watched the ashtray fly about 8 feet, then land on the floor. I'm glad she hasn't been bothered by the phenomena, she doesn't deserve it but I think no one truly deserves it. Anyway, that is what happened, I also have to write out an explanation for the extremely odd and barely explainable sounds I heard coming from the bathroom ceiling, about 4 days ago.

The Bed was Pushed, The Door was Shut..

   This unexplained event happened last night, well this morning at/around 2:40 a.m., Tuesday, October 11, 2011. I laid back in the bed after using the toilet and while lying there after getting settled, maybe about 5 minutes after I laid down, I felt the whole bed move. Now, there are a lot of possible answers for this and I know a simple cough from your spouse can move the whole bed. However, I tried to duplicate it as many times as possible without waking my wife. She was lying completely still when this happened, I thought that she may have used her foot to scratch her other foot and maybe that was the answer but again, she was still. I tried to make the bed move (In the way it moved) by using my feet to scratch certain areas. The only similar reaction I got was when I literally moved my right knee up quickly while laying on my left side, and I know for a fact that my sleeping wife did not do this. The force that made the bed move came from the foot of the bed, directly in the middle of the bed. I can only describe it as: strong, purposeful & quick. It wasn't like a child running into the corner of the mattress or something like that, I imagine an adult kneeling at the foot of the bed and putting equal pressure with both hands then quickly shoving into the bed. It was quite disturbing, I actually felt violated in a sense. I found it hard to go back to sleep and I don't know if it was psychosomatic but I genuinely felt a hovering presence of a male energy. The energy felt, "Lurking".
   Again, this afternoon at 1:15 p.m., I was on the phone with my wife and I entered the bedroom to get my wallet off the night stand. Without realizing it, once I opened the bedroom door, it stayed open by itself. Normal behavior of this door is to close because the door was hung with a slight degree of error, so it naturally wants to close after you open it. While I was on the phone, I was going through my wallet and talking to my wife, our conversation had ended once I told her that I didn't have a certain credit card in my wallet. So I began walking back out of the bedroom and I noticed the bedroom door was open and it was closing right in front of me. I didn't realize what this meant until after I actually saw the door close. I was talking on the phone for a minimum of 45 seconds, the door remained open the whole time (Against the laws of gravity) once I began walking towards the door it was as if someone was pulling the door shut very methodically, very smooth... even if this wasn't paranormal, the timing was just impeccable. So, I stood there on the opposite side of the bedroom, at the bedroom entrance and I just kept turning the handle and pushing the door open. I must have done it 10 times and every single time, the door would close quickly, within 2-4 seconds. I even put dirty clothes on the floor to give the door something to help hold it open and it would close within 10 seconds. I have no logical answers for what happened last night and today.  

Midnight Bathroom Breaks

   This unexplained event happened on Tuesday, September 19th, 2011 at 12:05a.m.. I awoke with an urgent need to piss, so I head to the bathroom and close the door quietly so the babies don't wake up. As I was trying to go, I spaced out and stared at the wall just rubbing my eyes. When I was finished, I flushed the toilet and as I was shutting the toilet lid, I was bending down a bit while looking at the toilet seat. Then I saw the amber colored glass candle box fly off the porcelain toilet top. In front of my very own eyes, I witnessed the glass box zoom to the right and then it crashed to the floor, almost waking everybody in the apartment. I stood there amazed. I wasn't really surprised, more unexpected shock than anything else. I picked up the amber colored glass box and set it back on the top of the toilet lid. I tried to re-create what happened by setting the glass box in the exact position it was, then at the same time, I flushed the toilet while closing the toilet seat & lid to see if there were any vibrations that could have moved it. I even tried it with the glass box right on the edge of the toilet lid and flushing the toilet while moving the lid and seat, nothing happened. When I went back into my bedroom, my wife asked me, "What the hell was that"? I told her everything that happened and she couldn't believe it just as I couldn't believe it. Here is a picture of how the glass box was setting:             

    
   The next unexplained event happened Friday, September 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 a.m.. I was in the bathroom again and I didn't shut the door completely because it can be loud sometimes. I was standing at the toilet doing my thing and I heard my wife come out of our bedroom and I heard her feet shuffle over to the bathroom door. I flushed the toilet and walked out expecting to see her sitting in the recliner outside our bathroom. She'll wait there sometimes if I'm in the bathroom and she has to go as well. I didn't really think much when she wasn't at the recliner I thought maybe she just walked back in the bedroom. Well as I entered the bedroom, I saw her lying in bed, covered up with the blanket, I said, "You can go now" and she didn't say anything. I lied down next to her and said, "You can go now", and she was clearly sleeping, so I woke her up and asked if she needed to go to the bathroom. She looked at me as if I was crazy. Well, she obviously didn't know what I was talking about so I just said, "Nevermind", go back to sleep.
   When we got up this morning, I told her what had happened and she wearily stated, "Well, here we go again".

EARTHQUAKE HIT & FELT ABOUT 2 MINUTES LONG.

   It was maybe 1:50pm on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 and the Baby & I were sitting in the basement. The concrete wall to the right of me started moving & I literally felt the bones of the house moving & felt the blocks shake. I immediately grabbed the baby and ran outside as fast as I could and you could feel the ground vibrating. I met outside with my Dad who was on the phone with my Uncle in Fredericksburg, VA. and my Uncle Lawrence said there was an EARTHQUAKE coming but it had already reached us, then my Mother drove in and said that the mailboxes were moving back & forth. The Dog & Cat were acting strange. Josie the cat immediately ran up a nearby tree. I had to get under the tree so she would jump to me and she finally did. My Uncle Pat's white truck was moving across the pavement and luckily nothing was damaged and more importantly no one was injured. My 1st experience with an EARTHQUAKE & I was honestly a bit scared. We are nothing, we are not in charge, the Mother Nature is in control and that was just a 5.9. The Quake struck in Mineral, VA. the Quake started from 3.7 miles down in the Earth, which is pretty shallow, the ones on the west coast start at 20 - 30 miles deep. I never seen my Father react the way he did, I honestly think he was scared.

Still Caught "Off-Guard" & Speechless

   OK, I was actually working on another blog, when I'm in my apartment alone when I hear a moderately loud "movement" sound from under the door. My apartment entrance door is about 18 ft. away & on my left side I still am hearing noises in the basement area outside my apartment entrance door. I have already looked to see if my cat is the culprit but she is outside right now. I wish I had cameras to mount in every corner of this place, I feel like I would at least see things that are moving to make these sounds I'm hearing. There is no single person at the house right now except for me. OK, now there's 3 steps on the staircase and a long pause...................>>>>
   Well, I just wanted to record this for the blog. It began at/around 2:20pm, the noises at the door, the basement "shuffling" sounds, the 3 steps on the stairs & the ever-present white shapes darting around the room in my peripherals. Again, nothing malicious in nature, I would just love to know what the hell my Wife & I are living with..... Until next time.

Well, I Thought I put this Blog to Rest....But..

   My Uncle Pat is living in the basement of my Father's duplex apartments & it's about 100 feet from where my Wife & I currently live. I've stated this before but my Family lives in a nice, large basement apartment that I built in my Mother & Father's new house. I decided to wrap up the blog due to an end in paranormal activity, well it was a little premature. I am only keeping this online blog for my journal, a reference point, that's all it's ever been. Some have found entertainment in it but I only write about what I witness or witness second-hand, so I don't find it entertaining, I find it very interesting as to the nature of the phenomina that occurs and maybe how it could possibly be explained but other than that, it's just what happens here. Facts, as a matter of fact, since he has moved in next door, he visits uninvited and leaves whenever he pleases.... but he does not take his attachments with him. My Wife & I listen to unexplained noises every single night, we watch the door rattle, shake & flash lights across the walls. My Wife came out of the bathroom last night and said, "What's Wrong"! I was calmly sitting at the table online and I didn't even know what the hell she was talking about. She said that as soon as she entered the bathroom, she heard her name called in a very urgent fashion, as if I had cut myself or something of that nature.
   Well, since my vagabond Uncle has returned, I'm sure there will be plenty to write about.

This Whole Week Needs Reflection, for I swear....

   These unexplained events started happening onSunday Night, June 12th, 2011. Starting with Vero & I laying in bed and we hear what can be described as, sometype of plastic tote top being fooled around with, and that just started the fiasco of noises that cannot be explained. I believe there was enough audible noise, well there was enough audible noise for us to just mute the T.V. & sit there & listen for 3 straight minutes. We heard shuffling of feet, we heard voices in mid-discussion, it was literally Vero & I looking at each other in absolute disbelief. All of the sounds were coming from the opposite side of our bed. The bed that we sleep in is directly in front or about 10 feet in front of our staircase, that obviously leads upstairs. On the other side of the staircase, we have our kitchen cabinets, stove & refrigerator. About an hour to 2 hours after that phenomenon, we were set to go to bed, when I saw a 6 foot tall Black Shadow walk across from behind the staircase (Where the Fridge is located) So it looked like he came out of nowhere and just walked into the small room behind our bathroom. It seemed like 5 seconds of visual witnessing but, realistically it was probably only about 1.5 seconds. I was lying in bed with my eyes focused on the kitchen sink only because I installed a small under-the-cabinet type light earlier in the day. The shadow man/woman literally blocked out the light when the figure passed in front of it. Still blown away.
   By Monday & Monday night, Vero had been telling me that she had been hearing a lot of sighing directly in her ear. She claimed that it didn't sound too pleasant & when I asked her to describe the sound, it was very disgusting sounding. I tried to explain to her that in my experience alone that; Whatever force is doing this to her seems to have the capacity to literally & physically put a sound bubble around whoever it wants, so when the person affected says, "Hey, did you hear that"? or "What the Fuck was that"?.... Anyone else that is present looks at the person affected like they're bat-shit crazy.
   I will continue to write more when I have the time.

Doesn't Like Black & Whites Apparently...

   This unexplained phenomena took place at/around 1:00pm today, Wednesday, June 1, 2011. As I was sitting at the dinner table searching for jobs on CL.org, I was disturbed by a picture frame flying off the wall and landing upright. We're not talking about a little 3"X5" picture of Aunt Connie, it was a heavy duty, 11"X17", framed, glass, Black & White photo of my Step-Daughter. There is no logical reason for this picture frame to fall from the wall in the manner it did, with such force. As you can see, the picture to the above right isn't a small frame, the weight alone could not have made the nail in the wall fail, it was hung according to the specified weight of the picture & the nail was set right on center of the post in back of the frame. So, I would think it would have to be lifted up before it could come off the wall. I'm only speculating but that is my opinion. To the above left is where the picture was hung and it fell about 5 & 1/2 feet, crashing to the floor. The glass didn't break but our awareness of my Uncle Pat's presence was raised. These paranormal events ONLY happen when he is here or has visited (Slept here) for longer than 3 days. This would be an interesting case for any parapsychologist or scientist studying bizarre paranormal claims because we certainly have plenty of those. My Wife was as speechless as I was, so counting Her, there were 2 witnesses.

Invisible Sound Bubbles (Insane right)

   This unexplained event happened on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 around 6 pm. I was kneeling down at the base of our refrigerator loading a case of sodas into the bin when all of a sudden I hear a very loud "CRACK"! about 6 inches away from my right ear. I just heard a very loud cracking sound right next to my head and no one else in the room heard it, that freaks me out just as bad as hearing the unexplainable noise. I can liken the sound to maybe 2 pieces of baseboard wood being smacked together. It startled me to the point of me moving to the left and actually saying, "Whoa! What the Fuck was that"? I looked up at my wife & said, "Did you just hear that"? She said, "No, what"? I was blown away that I could be the focal point of an audible phenomena, and no one else in the room could hear it. 

Voices Calling for Me.

   This unexplainable event(s) happened from Thursday, 5/19/11 to Friday night, 5/20/11. The first event happened while my Wife & I were laying in bed getting ready to fall asleep and just around the corner of our bed we both heard what sounded like a person physically moving something or possibly walking into the chair that sets behind a wall close to our bed. We have an open layout in our apartment, our bedroom doesn't actually have a door. Right now our bedroom is being totally remodeled and so we have our bed set up in the living room. Anyway, we blew it off as just something else we've heard that cannot be explained.
   Friday, around 2-3pm I was doing some painting in the bathroom. My Wife has been passing a kidney stone, so she has been bedridden for a couple hours out of each day. At 2pm, she told me that someone was yelling for me upstairs and I said OK, Hold on... I went to the apartment door then opened the stairwell door and shouted up the steps, "Hey"!, my Brother answered, "What"? and I asked him if anyone had called for me? He said that nobody upstairs called my name and I said OK. When I came back into the apartment, I told my Wife that no one had yelled my name, she looked confused and said, "I swear I just heard someone yelling for you", I said, "No, I totally believe you, it's happened before". So I got back to work with my project and I went out to the basement area to get a brush. When I walked back in, I briefly said, "Hi Honey", while passing her on the bed. We had the bedroom door open because we had the little 16 month old in her play pen watching a movie, trying to go to sleep (Mind you that the volume of the TV was very low) Well as I was walking by the bedroom I heard crystal clear, "Casey"! It was loud enough to compare to a conversation level of volume, it was said with an urgency of like, "I'm talking to you, why aren't you listening" or something to that effect. To top it all off, it was a completely perfect imitation of my Wife's voice. I stopped in my tracks and went to my Wife just to see if she said my name and she said, "No, not just now". I told her what happened and she just kept her opinion to herself as well as I.
   Later in the evening around 9pm, we were getting ready for bed, the little one was already asleep and we were laying in the bed just cuddling together watching TV. We heard what sounded like a sick baby screaming from the pain of an earache or something, it wasn't just a baby crying, it sounded like a baby crying from pain. I'm not exaggerating to be dramatic, I'm telling what we heard. So, immediately I jump up and bust through the bedroom door to find the baby sleeping in her bed like she hadn't moved in an hour or more.
   This isn't the first time we've heard a baby crying in that bedroom, but it is the first time it's been so dramatic and painful sounding.
   My Uncle Pat has been here since Thursday, he arrived midday.

Well it's Returned.. Again.

   OK, I'll start with my personal experience. The date was Friday, May 13, 2011 & it was about 7pm when we got home from dropping the girls off for their visitation. We set our things down, we were starving so we ate our Chinese food reasonably quick. Then I was just picking up some clothes and trying to straighten up the house when I walked into the girls' bedroom; I can only equate the sound I heard with maybe 6-8 whiffle balls being thrown at high speed into the corner of the room & then I heard what sounded to be something scuttling quickly out of that same area/corner. I stood there in shock and I asked my Wife to quickly come here to witness any further activity. We stood there and I told her exactly what I just witnessed. I could feel a presence for the first time in my paranormal experiences in this house, It was a focused, traveling, form of energy then it just dissipated as quickly as it was caught. I feel like I may have walked in when something may have been trying to manifest or trying to.... I just don't know, I'm Baffled, you could also equate the sound with maybe a large person falling up against the wall with their elbows hitting in a couple spots. You know when you try to explain the unexplainable, it makes you sound fucking loony but I'm just sharing what I actually experienced in my home.
   Secondly, this morning I walked upstairs & immediately my Brother asked, "Did you or Vero slam your Apartment door last night at 3 am or 3:30 am"? He said that he was standing at the thermostat to cut the temperature down when he heard something slam our apartment door with a mighty force. Just as an FYI, My Brother lives upstairs in the same house that I do, however I built an apartment downstairs when my Father built this house 10 years ago. There is a door at the top of the staircase, which we leave open because we don't want our Cat pooping downstairs & that is how he heard the door slamming so well. My Wife (Vero) & myself were not awakened by this sound, which I find extremely strange, but what's even stranger than that is, every night before we go to bed, I lock the door in question & I make sure it is pulled completely shut. So, I may be writing some more news in the next few weeks.
   Also, I want to note that my Brother is claiming to having heard a deep, graspy voice say his name really slowly (Which I totally believe but I really cannot comment or speculate on that since I wasn't there to hear it) I really can't say much about the door either but I thought it was pretty extreme and had to keep record of it.

A Knock A Knock Knock on the wall...

   It was yesterday at 3pm and we had a full house. Vero's Daughter's were over with my 2 Daughters as well. While everyone was upstairs except for the infant (Vero's Daughter) who was asleep in her playpen/bed, I was lying down to take a mid-days' nap while the kids were occupied. I was lying there and all of a sudden I heard: "Bam...Bam...Bam", the sound was spaced out about 1 loud knock per second. The strangest part was that it was coming from the baby's room, where the room was supposed to be empty, except for the sleeping baby, so I returned the knocking, I don't know why but I did it, I think just because at this point, it's annoying to me, so I knocked loudly, 3 times and I heard nothing else.
   As far as shadow people, that has increased, it seems like every single time I'm alone & I turn my head or turn into a room, something darts across the room, ceiling, into a closet or behind my back. I don't pay it attention because I'm trying my best to act like it's not there but even though I know it is, I'm hoping it will somehow help it go away. Good luck huh?

...And the Day is Done, when all of a Sudden..

   On Wednesday at 5pm, March 30th, 2011, I walked into my apartment & the first place I headed for was the bathroom. Nothing was out of the ordinary except for the fact the "someone" took a towel & completely covered up my fire extinguisher that I have posted high on the Bathroom closet wall. I looked at it from afar & thought, "Who would do something so strange". I'm embarrassed to say but sometimes my Mother will come down & do the dishes if she's bored or something but this is nothing she would ever do. She wasn't even here today anyway, so I take a closer look and the towel was actually tied in a knot through a 4"inch opening at the top of the framed out closet (The only part of the apartment that I never finished dry walling) the bottom of the towel was stuffed into the plastic frame used to mount the extinguisher. Now this is crazy, absolutely crazy shit.
   Not just because of what I have seen and how it was tied and the whole action of it all but it has significance to it. I'm beginning to think that someone is trying to tell me that they either died from a fire or there is going to be a fire (God Forbid) I don't know, but whatever it is, it has significance. Let's see what happens. Hopefully nothing.

Voices Again at the Door...

   On Thursday, March 24th, 2011, around 5:30pm my girlfriend & Daughters were cooking dinner. I was monitoring the frying pan while Vero went upstairs to get Tea. The Baby was asleep in her bedroom & the other little one was upstairs with her Mom. I heard Vero walking around upstairs & making her way towards the upstairs staircase, from the apartment door I heard (In Vero's voice) "Case". The door was cracked about 4 inches & the audible voice was loud, almost a raised voice yell for help, a definite exclamation point at the end!
About 45 seconds later, Vero was standing by my side with the Tea and I asked her, "Did you say my name at any point in the last 2 minutes"? She said, "No, why"? I began to tell her why & she was floored.

Hot Water Surprise!

   At 3:05pm today, Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011, I went to the apartment bathroom to brush my teeth and I cut on the cold water and commenced to brush my teeth. Our sink/faucet set-up is a spicket with a hot knob & a cold knob, there is no possible way to accidentally brush up against the hot water knob, with that being said...
   Our sink is a bit stopped up and by the time I was done brushing my teeth, the water was ready to be cut off, so I cut off the cold water knob and the water was still running..
   NEVER have I used hot water or a warm water mixture to brush my teeth. I would NEVER turn the hot water on subconsciously or by mistake, it's just not me. I go in, cut the cold water on, brush my teeth, DONE. So, i'm left without an explanation on how the hot water was turned on in sync with the cold water knob. I am completely dumbfounded. I know plumbing inside & out and I do hvac for a living so I know it's physically impossible for anything underneath the sink to connect and turn it on or for any pieces to catch and turn on. This would happen repeatedly if this was the case. So I just wanted to mark it down in the books.

This Morning's Guest

   This unexplainable event happened this morning at 7:14am. I woke up to go to the bathroom & used it, then I came back to my bed to get my last 1 hour of sleep before I had to wake up. About 10 minutes of lying there I was beginning to drift off but then I heard someone come in to my apartment and start to pick up clothes, so my Mother might do this from time to time and she'll wake me up and the whole time I'm playing possum so she doesn't disturb me. I heard her pick up my alarm clock and set it back down on the night stand, then I heard her walk into the bathroom area, by the time she had done all this rummaging I had fallen back asleep. I woke up, got dressed & went upstairs. I couldn't wait to see why my Mom was in the apartment so early for, so I asked her why she was in my apartment and she said, "I just woke up, I wasn't downstairs".

Just for record, last night, middle of the night: The thermostat was turned to 71 all by itself, the toilet seat was shut closed.
and on Saturday, March 12th, 2011
My girlfriend said she heard a fork or some utensil hit a plate real hard in the sink, then she heard foot steps across the kitchen floor and whispering from behind our bed, barely audible whispers for 5 min. straight on & off. The same I've heard down here many times. The time was around 3:15am.

OK, it's beyond weird...

   Last night, Sunday, March 6th, 2011, at 5:10pm, I was standing in my apartment by my bed flippin through the channels and I heard my Girlfriend's voice say a greeting to me. It was as soon as I got downstairs, I heard a greeting with something to the effect of: "Hey, Honey", or "Hello-o-o" a drawn out hello.
   All night long, I had vivid nightmares. I'll add more later..

I was actually scared for the first time

   On Saturday, March 5th, 2011, at/around 9pm my Girlfriend, my Daughters and myself were making turkey sandwiches and earlier my Daughters made cupcakes for dessert. We sat down to eat dinner, albeit a late dinner, we finished up at 9:30pm. When we were cleaning up, the girls were watching TV & my Girlfriend began to tell me that when she was making mashed potatoes (Microwavable) "Something" had cut the largest burner to the highest setting. As she was using the oven top for a prep area, she reached across the front left burner & felt the intense heat of the largest burner heating up. So again, I was shocked to find out that something was actually trying to use the stove to hurt someone. I removed all the burners from the stove-top, I removed all the burner knobs and now I'm thinking I'm going to take out the goddamn stove, piece by piece.
   Later that night, around 1am, I went to the bathroom & I was standing at the toilet for maybe a minute, then I heard what sounded like 2 thin dinner plates slamming together inside the sink. It was so loud that I was expecting to see broken glass on the floor or in the sink, somewhere. I immediately opened the door thinking that my Girlfriend was getting brownies for a late night snack & I saw nobody standing at the sink. Once I got to the sink to investigate, I saw my Girlfriend sitting up in bed asking me, "What the Fuck was that"? and I had nothing to say because I couldn't make sense of what I was looking at. We have a 8" deep double sink that was filled with dishes. There was no physical way possible for ANY dish to be moved. The sink was stuffed to the top because we had so many dirty dishes from making cupcakes, brownies & making dinner. I stood there trying to remake the sound we heard and I could not re-create that sound, no matter what combination I tried. So, after about 5 minutes of investigation, I went back to use the bathroom and when I returned to bed, my Girlfriend said, "She felt like we were being watched". I must agree because it felt like a strong presence was either in the room or standing at the foot of our bed, watching us. I kept asking aloud, "What do you want"? "Get the fuck out of my apartment"! and I stated, "If you have enough energy to slam the dishes around or use the stove then write a note or something stating what you want".
   I still haven't seen any notes addressed to me...

OK, didn't feel like taking the time to record this event but..

Since, I'm using more of my time trying to start a Fuel Boycott on another Blog, I have less energy to record the paranormal events in my life, Frankly I'm fucking tired of it, but I have to keep track of what's going on. These unexplainable events happened on Tuesday, March 1st, 2011. The very first audible I heard while blogging at/around 1:30pm. It was to my right and the noise came from the kitchen sink, as if someone was purposefully moving a dish that was stacked under another, I know exactly what it sounds like, we've all heard the same noise and that's the noise I heard. I spoke to "It", I asked, "Can you move something else"? "Knock that pitcher over on to the floor", "Break something", "Spill my coffee" and.............................Nothing, no response, so I called it a coward and went on about my business. Later on in the evening, I was lying in bed watching TV, I want to make it clear that the TV wasn't even that loud and to add to that statement, I also mute the TV during loud-ass commercials. While the show I was watching was on, I distinctly heard right in front of me someone blow their nose and whoever it was, they were facing me and it wasn't a type of blowing your nose where a ton of mucus comes out, it was more along the lines of just clearing one side of the nostril as if a hair or something was blown out of the nostril. You know when you blow you nose just to clear it, there's nothing physically there but it may feel like it? That's exactly what I heard, right in front of me, about 5 ft. away at the foot of my bed, the time was about 8 pm. OK, so the 3rd event actually happened today but it was 2:33am in the early morning, I woke up from a deep sleep and went to relieve myself, this is a little personal but I have an enlarged Prostate, so it takes me a long time to urinate. 10 minutes for me to urinate is nothin, so I'm standing there at the toilet and the shower curtain is completely closed with a couple of towels hanging on it. While I'm still waiting to piss, I hear 1 solid foot step in the center of the shower/tub. My shower is also a deep whirlpool bathtub, so it acts as a shower and as a bathtub. I immediately whipped the curtain open & of course I saw nothing, and this was a hard foot step, not any type of shoe, a foot made this sound. So, I finally went to the bathroom and went back to bed and had nothing further happen that I was aware of. I'd like to also make it clear that I wasn't dreamy, still half asleep, NO, my ass was wide awake when I heard what I heard. I would also like to add that my Uncle Pat was here for 2 days and yesterday he left, I have to consider the possibilities that my Uncle has an attachment, because EVERY single time he has been under this roof, the paranormal activity comes alive, no pun intended. But what do I know, I just live here.

Checking in with little news

   It's been super quiet here, the only event happened on Friday, February 19, 2011. My girlfriend and I were eating dinner and at the exact same time both of us looked at each other in shock. I heard a couple of sentence fragments being sung in a baby's tone or a small child's pitch, a real high pitch singing and my girlfriend said she heard something completely different. She heard what sounded like an old style, 70's era, flash bulb sound from those long rectangle cameras.
   So, other than that, which could have been anything really, from a skeptical POV, maybe the television upstairs amplified through the wood joists and I heard the faint sounds, however it was pretty noticeable & moderately loud... I really can't explain it, even though it sounded like it was coming from around my backside corner. As for my girlfriend, I can't speak for her, she was pretty damn convinced of what she heard, so I can't judge what she heard. Until next time..

Have you ever heard?

This unexplainable event/paranormal event occurred on Friday, February 11, 2011. I was upstairs printing out some mapquest directions and after I was finished, I headed downstairs. My Mother was going to follow me down to pick up some dishes I used, so we opened the downstairs door then Josie (Our Cat) sprinted up to her food dish and we headed down the steps. Once we got to about the 3rd step from the bottom (We have a total of 13 steps) I heard what sounded like; a dog trying to gain traction on a tile floor as fast as he/she go possible go, the noise was right there at the bottom of the steps, I stopped my Mom in mid-step and listened. The sound lasted a good 3 seconds, maybe longer, because I was caught "Off-gaurd", I carefully tried to pin-point exactly what it sounded like and either it was an animal with dog-like fingernails scratching the surface of my floor, fleeting into my kitchen area, or something with claws very rapidly scratching the floor. This was loud and quick. I looked up to my Mom on the next step above and said, "Now I know you had to hear that", and she just looked at me like, "Why are we stopped"? I say this because, since all the paranormal events that have happened in this house, my Mother has claimed to not see, hear or experience anything paranormal, except on one occasion when a glass ashtray flew 8 foot off my computer desk and landed at her feet. I sarcastically asked her, "Did you see that"?
So, my Mom didn't hear the unexplainable noise, which doesn't surprise me at all, but I heard it and I am hear to document the experience because I don't have a dog in the basement that I know of and I sure as hell have no idea why I heard what I heard. This is the first report of any type of unexplainable animal sounds and to beat all, my basement apartment door was shut.

3:01am, POUND, POUND, POUND...

This paranormal event/unexplainable event took place on early Wednesday morning, February 09, 2011 and it was exactly 3:01am. I heard pounding on a wall coming from the staircase pointing in the direction of my bed. My bed faces the staircase wall, the pounding woke me from a deep sleep, and then the noise dissipated to a single finger continuously poking the wall, if I had to guess, it sounded like a person was standing in the middle of the stairs just poking the drywall with their index finger. They continued to poke the wall until 3:04am, I was sitting up straight in my bed and I counted a tap about every 3 to 7 seconds. I have to admit, it was creepy, not just because of the fact that something was in my stairway tapping on the goddamn wall but just the day before on Tuesday evening (February 08) I heard noises in the bedroom that nobody ever uses, it sounded like scuttling or... just unexplainable noises, so I burst open the door, cut the light on and....Nothing.
I called out, I was actually cussing at whomever was making the disturbance and calling it a pussy, telling it to move something, asking it to remove a white towel from a hook, and after waiting a good minute to show some type of action, I said, "That's what I thought, You're just a little punk that likes to makes noises and whine like a baby". I know that sounds pretty harsh but when you've lived through what I've lived through, I really don't care anymore what any of the spirits think about me. The good ones know I have a good heart and the bad spirits can just go shit in a hat. SOOO.. back to the original reason I posted this thread is because I provoked the little kid that lives in my apartment with me to do something, it only took him like 8 hours but I guess he got his point across. If anything happens tonight, I'll be sure to share.

My Paranormal Friends are taking a Holiday..

I just wanted to write something to the effect of not much going on here this week, besides spending crazy amounts of energy trying to get a damn job. I just want to say that it is unusually quiet, shit for a minute there it was literally every single day. I haven't heard back from G.M.P.S., so, the next $60 bucks I get, where I can afford to blow on a good digital recorder, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. So, if anyone out there cares, stay tuned, I'm sure something will occur.
You know, the funny part is, it doesn't even scare me, I just want to know why? and who? and for what reason do they do these random unexplainable acts? If they have the power to do someof the things I've seen done, why not pick up a pen and write a goddamn note on a piece of paper explaining what you want? Know what I mean...? Got me.

I Stand Corrected...

I recently posted a paragraph or two that every year during Christmas time, something tragic happens, a beloved Family member dies at or around Christmas, Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas. Well, true to the nature of the uncanny observation, little did I know a Family member of mine was being diagnosed with cancer. I made sure the timing was relevant, for the privacy of my family, 'm not naming any names or giving any information out regarding the type of cancer but on a scale of 1 to 10, this is an 8 out of 10, with 10 being the worst.
It never fails, unfortunately, as I discovered later and put 2 and 2 together, I am dumbfounded as to why this happens every single year without respect for holidays, mercy for this family who has endured each year through death, dying and the pain of knowing a loved one will pass.

I guess He's trying to burn the house down...?

This unexplainable event happened today at 12:11pm on Wednesday, January 26, 2011. This morning my girlfriend & I woke up at 8am and we left to run some errands. We got back home at like 11:45 am and we figured we'd lie down to cuddle together before she had to leave. So we had about 15 minutes of quality time.
After our cuddle-fest was over and she decided it was time to go, I looked at the DVD digital clock to see the time was 12:10pm. We got out of bed and we gathered her things. We turned toward the kitchen counter where all the appliances are located to walk out of the apartment and we saw a small orange light on the front of the stove. The light indicated that one of the burners was "On". We stopped dead in our tracks because we both knew that we had nothing to do with it. It had not even been on that long because the electric coil burner wasn't even red yet. Not only does this scare the shit out of me because the burner knob isn't something you can walk by and accidentally turn on by, say for example a book bag hitting the knob to turn it on, you must physically push in the knob and turn to your desired setting, when I looked at the setting it was set on "5", the max being 6.
As I've explained a long time ago, probably back in 2009, the upstairs stove is gas/propane. When my Brother and Mother came home one day from being out, they walked inside the house and immediately were overwhelmed with an intensely strong odor of gas. They walked over to the gas stove and all 4 burners were turned on maximum, nobody knows who did it, nobody knows for how long it was just blasting out gas but it was enough to level a city block, IF Ignited. My Mom usually is smoking a cigarette when she gets out of the car and Thank GOD, on that day she was not smoking...that surely would have been enough to set the explosion but it didn't.

At the Bottom of the Steps & Sleep Apnea Case

OK, this happened on this past Saturday night at/around 11:30-12:30 pm>am. The date was January 22, 2011 and I just found out about it because I was upstairs talking about a dream I had last night with my Uncle David in it. I was telling my girlfriend & Brother; Then he says, "Last Saturday, when I walked passed the basement door from going to take a piss, somebody said, "HEY"! In a menacing, whispering but loud tone and I said, "Thanks for telling me now"! Simply because I want to know about everything "Questionable" that goes on in this house for my journal/blog. So, I interrogated him and there wasn't much more than what he had told me, we leave the basement door open because we have a wood stove at the foot of the steps to allow heat to rise upstairs and help with the fuel bill. So that's why the door was open, in case you're wondering.
Back to my dead Uncle David, we were talking about my dream that I had last night with my Uncle David in it. He looked so happy, I mean glowing happy, he was young, in shape, a huge smile on his face and that's all I remember. In my dream, there was no one else there that I saw but I knew people where supposed to be there, but again all I remember was how amazingly bright and joyful he was, then the dream ended. So my Brother starts to tell me a story of something that happened exactly on Saturday morning of December 18th, 2010. He remembered the date because of his son sleeping in the room with him and he was being picked up early that day, so I'm glad he remembered the date & time. He starts to tell me & my girlfriend about how he has to sleep sitting upright and I know this is true because he has Sleep Apnea (A medical condition, usually in overweight people that stop breathing when they lay/lie down sleeping) Just out of pure coincidence, that is what my Uncle died from (Along with many other problems but the coroner ruled it a heart attack due to lack of oxygen, something of that nature) Moving on with the story, my Brother says that he remembers sleeping a little bit on his right side where all his pillows are stacked, He fell asleep around 5am-6am in the morning. Around 11am, he said he felt a large, warm, almost hot point of heat radiate through a large hand, touching his right hand and it woke him up. So, he said he sat up in the bed with an enormous headache and within 10-15 seconds later, he felt the large, warm hand touch his hand again. OK, now I know this sounds like complete bullshit, straight from beyond the grave type B.S., but I've never known my Brother to fabricate a story for any reason at all. So I asked him, "Why are you telling me all this now"? and he said, "Because I think it was Uncle David that tried to wake me up, maybe because I wasn't breathing", and it made sense to me, I believed him 100%.
So, for whatever reason my Brother's right hand was touched or warmed to the point to make him wake up, I'm glad it did because it may have saved his life. I tried to think of another reason, like maybe his right hand felt hot/warm because his hand fell asleep but he made 2 good points, he said that #1 After you experience a part of your body falling asleep, like your leg, it is always followed by pins-n-needles and #2 why did the hand get touched 10-15 seconds later with the same force of warmth? I'd love to know but I'm glad this happened and I'm glad he told me about it. Now that he knows I'm keeping my journal/blog again, he said he'll let me know if anything happens upstairs but for the most part, it is all in the basement apartment... YaY for ME!

Going through my kitchen cabinets

This unexplainable event happened at 7:31am on Sunday, January 23, 2011. I was sound asleep in my bed and I suddenly heard what sounded like a kitchen cabinet door open, swing, then shut. I was wide awake at this point and I laid there and at 7:34am, I heard the top kitchen cabinet door.. The only way I can describe it is if a small child tried to open a cabinet door by using their fingers to open the door from the bottom of the door, not using the knob or handle. By the way, none of my cabinet doors have any type of knobs or handles. To continue, I heard the top kitchen cabinet door try to open and it snapped shut immediately, then I heard another door open but I never heard it shut, so it must have been like playing with the door and shut it silently. I have no clue.
I went back to sleep, (Sunday is thee only day I can sleep in) I woke up at 10:43am and I went upstairs to ask my Mom why she was in my apartment #1, and before I could get my next word out, she interrupted with, " Casey, we weren't even here, we went to get breakfast, then we went to get pig feed in Charles County". "We got home around 9:30 I guess", I was floored and then I told her what had happened. She couldn't believe it, my Dad said "It's awful active here lately ain't it"? So, I'm trying to get another investigation just for the basement apartment this time. I'm totally floored, I mean this is getting to the point where I'm thinking of buying a camcorder that can record at least 12 hours. Even if I did, I wouldn't begin to know where to set it up first. As long as I keep documenting every event, I can reference it at a later date. So, to all you non-believers, I invite you to spend a week in my apartment, you will become a believer. The bottom kitchen cabinet door by the white refrigerator is the cabinet door in question. It can't be seen from my bed and it is close to the apartment entrance. When I heard the second and third opening sounds, I could tell that it was coming from the cabinet directly above the bottom cabinet>>>
All this recent activity is different from before (The first haunting, paranormal occupation, whatever you can call it) simply because I can feel a presence, a single or possibly two-person presence, before all the negative energy here could have set off a bomb, If investigated, I would expect as many EVP's as before, maybe more...Who Knows?

Just an observation of my 2 year old Cat.

Since November 27th, 2010, we had to put down my 17 year old black lab. I know everyone says this but, She was thee best friend, thee best dog in the world, but of course I believe it and I think my kitty-kat believed it too. Ever since, she has literally not known which way to go, her normal routine has without a doubt, changed. BTW, her name is Josie Wales and she's the coolest cat ever. This female cat is so laid back, she lets my 8 & 9 year old Daughters dress her up in baby's clothes and push her around in a stroller. As I notice I'm getting off-subject at making a point, I want to bring it to the attention of readers that I am starting to question if this is normal animal companion behavior? Could it be she's trying to find her (My Black Lab)?
Just to give you an idea of what Josie goes through in a day, she starts off wanting food when there is fresh food in her bowl (Something she's never done) Then she'll go inside & outside up to, God, I can't even count, umm, I'd have to say 8-12 times in a single day, she has quit hunting but every now & then we'll find a little mole at our door step. She stays downstairs a lot. This is strange for her normal behavior, she would hardly ever go downstairs, when I find her downstairs, it's in thee most odd places like up on top of the 2"X4" walls (The basement is partly unfinished on one side, about 25%)
Maybe I should talk to a veterinarian about this because I do know one thing is for sure, our only remaining pet is acting super-strange and I don't know if she's responding to paranormal activity or the loss of our Black Lab (Oprah).

OK, now it's throwing shit, WTF?

This unexplainable event happened at/around 2:00pm on Thursday, January 13, 2011. I was sitting at my kitchen table, online and after about an hour of writing a couple resumes, I felt something hit my left knee, pretty hard too. I moved my chair back (Office chair with wheels) to see what hit me and it was a child's toy. A fake, baby bottle with some type of liquid in it to simulate milk in the bottle, anyway after it hit me, I spoke out and said, "Can you throw something again"? or "Maybe move something off the table"? I sat silent for about 15 minutes, waiting... waiting... and like always, nothing. No more action or paranormal activity that day.
Whatever entity is here, is now starting to get a little more belligerent and malevolent. So, I keep track of everything going on, however minuscule it may be, I want the investigators to have a living journal of every single unexplainable event that happens here. When I start to see what I saw before, My ass is gone. I was seeing black masses crossing my bedroom ceiling but since that lady came here in '09 to "Cleanse" the property, we don't hear any audible growling anymore, this haunting is something totally different.

The Blood Hound & We're Watching...

These events took place on Wednesday night, January 12, 2011 between 7:15 and 7:30pm. I heard a noise coming from upstairs again, this time the sound was from a blood hound named Charlie. Charlie is my Uncle Pat's pet dog, when I heard Charlie howl, I would like to add that this is an unmistakable howl that this particular animal makes and when I heard it I instantly thought of Charlie. I called upstairs to ask if Uncle Pat had showed up, because that's what he does, he just shows up unannounced whenever he wants. I spoke to my Brother and he said, "No, Pat isn't here", and I said, "Well, I just heard Charlie howl" and he looked outside on the front porch but nobody was here. So, I blew off the first event as a sliding chair or something, but when it happened 4 consecutive times in the period of 15 minutes, I began to write everything down. I went upstairs to see for myself what was actually going on and I found my Parents sitting down relaxing, watching TV in a semi-quiet atmosphere. I told my Parents everything I just experienced and they were stumped also, so my Mom and I were getting a load of laundry together to wash and my Dad went downstairs. He didn't say anything to us and I guess I stayed upstairs for about 20 minutes and when I went back downstairs, I found my Dad sitting in the dark. I cut the lights on and said, "What are you doing"? he said, "I was trying to hear Charlie". So, we sat and listened for about 5 minutes and he decided just to go upstairs. When we walked into the kitchen area, I noticed something very strange because it was shining in my face due to a reflection of light. Earlier in the day my Mom gave me a tool she had found and it's purpose is to measure angles in the trade of duct work. She laid it on my kitchen table, on a stack of papers and I completely forgot about it until.... now, It was turned on it's side, the tool is a piece of stainless steel and it's only about 1/4" inch thick. To get this tool to stay turned on it's side, is amazing all by itself, simply due to it's physical characteristics. When my Father and I saw that, we knew that we were not alone, there was an unmistakable vibe in the room of we were being watched and it was the first time since all this activity started that I have felt "Watched". These pictures are from when it actually happened.

Conversations Kill....

These events happened on Monday, January 10, 2011. It was around 11:45am and I was sending out resumes, again this happened downstairs in my apartment, I began to hear generalized yelling and shouting as if 2 people were in conversation. It came from right above my head and it was loud, so I picked up the phone and called upstairs, my Brother answered the phone and I heard complete silence. I asked, "Who's doing all the yelling up there"? and he said, "There's no one up here but me and I'm just sitting here online". Then maybe 10 minutes later, I heard my Father yelling my name through a solid brick wall, literally from outside the house I heard my Father say a shortened version of my name, "Case". Sometimes when my Dad needs help, he'll call me "Case", I knew for a fact that he was not actually calling me because at the time, he was in another state with my Mother. They went to Virginia to buy cigarettes. So, after all this happened, I just made sure I wrote it down so I could keep track of every detail.
Later that night, actually Tuesday morning, January 11, 2011. It was 2:35am, I went to use the bathroom and while I was standing there ( I left the door open because I was alone ) I heard an obvious sound, as plain as day, I heard the bedroom adjacent to the bathroom, I heard the bedroom door handle turn quickly then release, making a moderately loud noise. I stopped what I was doing and went outside the bathroom and looked at the door to see if it had been opened. I walked up to the door and touched it with 1 finger to push it open and it didn't move. I turned the handle to recreate the sound I heard and sure enough, it was the exact sound that was made.

I ran some errands in the morning and came back to go online for a bit and at 12:22pm, I heard my Father shout my name again, this time it came from above my head. I called upstairs and asked my Mother if anyone yelled for me and she said, "No, Daddy's not up here". To sum things up, that's a lot of paranormal activity or unexplainable activity for a 48 hour period. At least I think so, I've been wrong before but I can't think of any logical explaination for this activity.

OK, a Re-Cap of events...

I've been too busy to keep up with this blog and all the other things I have going on right now, However I have been taking elaborate notes of things as the events happen, so I'm going to start with last week.
My girlfriend came to spend some time with me and she arrived on the 6th of January, 2011. I guess I should start by stating that as of now I am unemployed, so I sit at the computer all day trying to find jobs to send my resume to. We spend a good bit of time in my apartment, sometimes I'll be working on my water colors after I've exhausted all my work leads, to get to the point, we spend a lot of time downstairs, in my apartment. We are both pretty much financially broke, so we don't go out and do recreational things either. Now that I've explained our living situation, sometimes I experience unexplainable events and I'll tell my girlfriend all about it, maybe later in the day she'll experience her own event, however small it may seem, the fact remains, it happened.

Thursday 01/06/2011
My girlfriend spent the first night of her visit with me. We woke up, she soon noticed that her (2) plastic bracelets were removed from her wrist (We suspected in the middle of the night?) Well, later in the same day I was searching for a paint brush, completely on the other side of the room where junk is pretty much just starting to build up, there's an old PC on the desk, some old PC speakers and I look down to see her plastic bracelets (That were gifts from her Daughter) Not only did I find her bracelets, I found the bracelets tied together with a "hangman's knot" (See Picture)


Friday 01/07/2011
OK, so after we digest the strange events of the day prior, we had an uneventful day of searching for jobs, sending out resumes and painting on my water color projects. We went to get Chinese for dinner, after dinner we were relaxing on the bed. Before we laid down on the bed to watch TV, I had lit a small Yankee Candle and set it on top of a recently acquired 100 year old cabinet/chest. The top had a picture frame, a small lamp and the candle, which was about 8 inches away from the lamp shade. So about 2 hours pass and we hear what sounds like a blow torch coming from behind us, we jump up and see that the plastic lamp shade is on fire. The candle had somehow been placed directly under neath the plastic edge of the lamp shade causing it to start fire. My girlfriend was closer so she moved the candle (Burning herself in the process) and physically blew out the fire with her breath. So, how the candle moved itself 8 inches to be perfectly placed under the lamp shade is a complete mystery. For this very reason (Fire) when I lit the candle, I made sure to place it as far away from the lamp shade as possible. Unexplainable.


Saturday 01/08/2011
This is a reoccurring event of what I'm about to share. My girlfriend had taken a shower and hung up the towel over the shower rod. Maybe an hour later she came out of the bathroom and asked me, "Did you take the blue towel off the shower rod"? "I was letting it dry and now it's just lying on the floor like a ribbon" I was looking at the towel and it actually looked like the towel was pulled from below and it fell in a natural cascading motion, looking like a ribbon or something. Now you might be saying to yourself, wow, big deal... a towel fell from the top of the shower curtain rod, but this has happened more than once and she was the one to bring it to my attention and I really didn't realize how many times it's happened but if I had to guess, I would say at least 5-6 times...

There's more to come, I have a whole page of documented events that need to be posted but running out of time right now. The following week starting at Monday 01/10/2011 is when all the audible voice/sentence fragments are heard, I will post very soon.
