Yet another incident involving a television set. 7/20/12

Well I'm not sure what was going on.  I was unable to fall asleep tonight even after taking sleeping pills and drinking sleepy time tea.  And the time honored warm milk.

Well I was laying in bed watching Star Trek movies.  Star Trek: First Contact was just starting.  When all of a sudden the tv and the cable box shut off.  I had a heck of a time getting them to turn back on.  No idea what in the world was going on.  This happened at 5am when the movie was starting.

Oh, I think Jeff may have come back tonight. 7/18/12

 This just happened about 30 minutes or so ago.  It is now 3:50am.

The bedroom door is shut and I have the window a/c on, but just have it on fan.  No animals were in the room at the time.  I was reading in bed, absorbed in my book.  All of a sudden the bed shook.  It felt like someone pushed against the foot board....giving it a hard shove.
Now I have felt this before, but always when the door has been open and the animals in the room.  This happened the other night, door was open and I had the light off.  I was almost asleep when it happened.  I didn't budge.  I just assumed it was one of the animals.  Now I'm not so sure.

Update. I just thought of something.  When Jeff wanted to wake me up from a nap, he would give the foot board a kick or 2 to wake me up.

After I turned off the light to go to bed, still with the door closed and no animals in the room.  I felt a cat walk on me.  I turned on the light and checked to make sure that there were no kitties in the room.  I couldn't find any.  Makes me wonder if this was Priss aka Ki Ki, come to visit?  Now if it happens again and it purrs and head butts me I will know it is Priss.

The Haunted House in Applegate.

This house I'm referring to has been in my cousins family for generations.  I always loved going out to visit these cousins.
To get to the bathroom and the stairway to the upstairs you had to go through this doorway in the living room.  Once you went through this door it was like going into a refrigerated room.  It was always cold back there.
Whenever I went to the bathroom, it always felt like someone was watching me.  Making sure I didn't get into something I shouldn't be getting into.  The bathroom itself felt safe.  It was the hallway to the bathroom that was creepy to me.
I don't know, I may have been around 5 years old (or maybe a year or so older) about the time I decided to go upstairs and explore as I had never been up there before.  Well I started up the stairs and by the time I got to the 3rd step something stopped me.  Whoever/whatever the presence was did not want me going upstairs...I didn't belong up there.  Whatever it was, it felt like I ran into a wall.  It scared me and I went running down the steps and tore through the door and ran over to where my mom was sitting and sat down next to her.  Nobody noticed that I had been scared to death.

Who goosed me?

This incident happened at Linda &  Gary's.
They had just moved into their house just outside of Roseburg.  The first time I stopped to visit after they bought the house and property, my niece Sarah, was showing me around the property.
We came upon this old stack of wood that was all rotten and full of termites.  Well Sarah and I were attempting to kill the termites.
Well someone wasn't too happy with us disturbing this rotten pile of wood.  Because all of a sudden something pinched me on my butt.  When that happened I spun around swinging, ready too clobber whoever had pinched me.  Only thing, there was no-one there.  It was just Sarah and I.  I know Sarah didn't do it.  We had been facing each other across the pile of wood stomping on the termites. Sarah swears she didn't see any one.

Fancy, The Ghost Kitty

This happened back in the early to mid 1970s.  I don't remember exactly when this happened.  I don't even remember the cat.

Well my sister Linda had this cat.  Since I don't remember the cat's name I'm gonna call it Fancy, as I think it needs a name.  Maybe Linda will comment and leave the cat's name.

Fancy always slept on Linda's bed.  This one night Fancy didn't come when Linda called her.  So Linda went to bed without her cat.  Well later that night she woke up to feel Fancy jump up on the bed and lay down at the foot of the bed where she always slept.

When dad got home from work that night, he found Fancy had been hit by a car and had died.  He buried Fancy in the back yard.  He told Linda the next morning about finding Fancy.  That freaked Linda out because she knew Fancy had jumped up on the bed and slept at the foot of the bed.

Well Fancy continued to jump up on Linda's bed every night. 

When Linda moved away from home after she graduated from high school, I got her bed.  She and her best friend from school moved to Arizona. At this point in time we were actually without cats.  Well the first night I was sleeping in her bed I woke up to a cat jumping up on the bed.  I thought this was strange.  I got up and turned on the light.  There was no cat on the bed.  There was no cat in the bedroom.  I was freaking out.  I finally fell asleep. The next night I was again woken up by a cat jumping up on my bed.  

When Linda got to Grandma's in Tempe, AZ she called to let us know that they had made it safe and sound. I grabbed the phone and asked her about the cat.  That is when she told me about Fancy.  She agreed it was freaky, but wasn't anything to be scared over.  Fancy was harmless.

Wasn't long after that my sister Diane got me a brown tabby kitten.  I named her, guess it!  Tabby.  Such an original name for a tabby cat!  haha.

Well I soon discovered that if Tabby was in the room with me, then Fancy would not show up.  Or at least I did not notice her jumping up on the bed.  But if I went to bed with out Tabby then Fancy would be back.  

I have been back to my parents home many times over the years.  I haven't felt Fancy jump up on the bed since I was a teenager.  

Update on Sarah's $20.00 bill.

 I called and spoke Sarah on 6/30.  I asked her about the bill.  She said it was folded up very strangely.  When Sarah described how it was folded, I got a chill down my spine.  It was folded just like the bill that Jeff had left me a few months ago.  Also, it was laying next to her feet.  It wasn't there when her and Jason got home.  It just appeared out of nowhere.  When she found it she was reminded of me and when I found the $20.00 that Jeff had left for me.
