Late on the night of April 18, 2016, I received a phone call from my sister Linda. She was calling to let me know that dad had past away. Since it was so late, I decided to head down to Grants Pass the next day.
I made it down to Grants Pass and to dad's house. Unloaded Zoey and Little Ninja. Then Diane, Linda and I did what we could, getting stuff together.
That night, Tuesday the 19th, Zoey, Ninja and I were in bed. We were the only ones in the house. Well I started hearing what sounded like footsteps out in the living area. I grabbed my cell and typed in 911 just in case but did not press send. The three of us went searching for the cause of the noise we all heard. There was no one in the house. I double checked. The doors and windows were all locked. Took a long time to fall asleep.
On Wednesday evening I had gone over to Diane's to watch the new Star Wars movie. We were about halfway through the movie when something shiny caught Diane's attention. In the middle of the floor was a clear marble. We have no idea where this marble could have come from. It was clear with air bubbles. Diane does have a dish where she does put marbles she has found on the property. Those marbles are all old, all well over 60 years. Cats eye and Aggie's. And we know those belonged to our cousins when they were young. We have no idea about this marble.
Later that same night, Zoey, Little Ninja and I had gone to bed. Again, I am almost asleep. I'm laying in bed wondering if I will hear footsteps tonight. All at once I hear noises coming from my parents bedroom. Things are being moved around. And none to gently from what I'm hearing.i again grab my cell, dial 911 but don't press send, and the 3 of us barge into mom and dad's bedroom. Again, just like the night before, there was no one there. The window was closed and locked. They would have had to push past me and the animals to get out of the room.
On Thursday Jerry flew in and Diane and I went to Medford to pick him up. We stayed up late talking. I did tell Jerry about the footsteps and noises. I'm not sure if he believed me or not. Neither of us heard any strange noises.
Friday was dad's funeral. After an exhaustive day, I did not want to go out to eat with Diane and Jerry. Instead I went to bed and fell asleep. Well I do not know what woke me up, but once I was awake I realized I was hearing noises out in living area. I got up and went out thinking Diane and Jerry were back. Nope. Was just the animals and me. I was just getting ready to head back to bed when I saw headlights turn into the driveway. Told them about the latest noises.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty quiet. I didn't hear any noises. Monday night was Jerry's turn to experience the noises. It was late, I had gone to bed after 1am. Jerry said he had stayed up awhile longer playing games on his net book. Well he was sitting in the living room, which is connected to the dining room. Well he said he heard a chair being scooted on the linoleum floor, like someone walking from the kitchen bumped into a dining room chair on their way into the living room. He knew it wasn't me, as he hadn't heard me get up. And Zoey was sleeping at his feet.
After Jerry and I got home and talked the following weekend. We both felt like we had been drained of our energy. I know I have always gone home from visiting dad feeling drained. I really do think that house is full of negative energy. It took both of us almost a week to get our energy back.
Update: After Jerry read this entry he informed me he also heard the glass doors rattle on the big curio cabinet.
