Ghostly happenings on my cross country trip 8/21/2014 through 9/03/2014

So here is everything that happened. At least everything I can think of.

I flew into Lafayette, LA on the 21st to spend a few days with my friend, Sarah. Well Friday night (8/22/14) after I went to bed, I couldn't sleep. So I was reading my Kindle.  All of a sudden I heard a strange noise. It sounded like someone had kicked something there in the room.  So I got up, and not waning to hurt my foot, put a shoe on. I then kicked my travel case.  That was close to the sound, but wasn't quite it.  So I kicked my suitcase.  Bingo.  That was the noise.  So since I had expected Jeff to follow me, I said "Hi Jeff, about time you showed up!"  The next day told Sarah about having someone kick my suitcase.  She insisted it was Mike.  As I was sleeping in his bedroom.  So the rest of my stay I said Goodnight Mike when I went to bed.  I didn't hear anything else from Mike.

On Wednesday the 27th Jessi and I spent the night in Junction City.  The next morning we back tracked to Ft. Riley as we both thought it would be neat to go through the Calvary Museum and The Custer House.  Ft Riley is a pretty neat place The buildings are fascinating.  We explored the Calvary Museum and talked to the lady in the gift shop.  Jessi asked her if there were any known ghosts.  She said she hadn't had any personal experiences but the gal that worked on the weekend had had some.  So Jessi told her that her brother, my deceased husband, was haunting me.  So I had to give a couple examples.  I told her about him hiding the keys under the stack of sympathy cards and the time he had placed them up next to the front door after I had left for work using the spare keys.   Also mentioned that he kicks my bed every night, just like he used to when he thought I had been sleeping too long for my nap.

So we left the museum and tried to drive to the Custer House.  They had the road blocked as they had something going on at the Parade Ground. (graduation?) So we drove around a few minutes looking at the buildings then we left and headed to Denver.

Well, unbeknownst to us, we picked up a hitchhiker.  Had to have been a soldier.  As we were driving through Kansas, all of a sudden something hit my right calf and traveled down to my foot.  I took my seat belt off and looked and searched but could not find anything at all.  My purse was down next to my feet but the straps were both facing away from me, facing towards the engine.  I told Jessi and just as I was telling her she felt something tickle her on her left knee.  Well this entity stayed with us and played with our legs until the night before we left Denver.  The night before we left Denver, it grabbed my foot and I freaked out.  I told it then that his leave was about up and he needed to head back to Ft. Riley.  He did not want to get into trouble for being AWOL. Nothing more from him.

On Friday the 29th  we  headed up to Georgetown to see Scott, Nina and Reuben.  They took us out to lunch at a old ghost town of Silver Plume.  Most of the buildings were uninhabitable it looked like.  There was a cute little tea room they go to all the time.  Very good food.  Well Scott was sitting on the end.  I was on his right, Reuben on my right.  Jessi was on his left across from me and Nina was across from Reuben.  Well we were the only ones in there.  The waitresses were in the kitchen area.  All at once something or someone poked me in my back.  I know it wasn't Scott as he was using his right hand to eat with.  Reuben would have had to have gotten out of his chair and taken a couple steps to have poked me.  I know it wasn't Jessi or Nina or either of the waitresses or the cook as I could see all of them where I was sitting.  I even turned my head right after I got poked to see if someone had snuck up behind me.  No one was there that I could see.After we had left and we were on our way back to Denver, I asked Jessi if she had seen someone sneak up behind me and poke me.  She said no.  Nothing happened to her that she said.

Nothing played with our legs or feet the rest of the trip as i had sent the soldier home.  However, Sunday, & Monday nights something would shake our beds.  I am guessing it was Jeff who caught up to us. 

Strange happenings at the neighbors

The evening of 7/23/2014 I was visiting my neighbor Doug.  I was getting ready to go back home when David, another friend stopped by.

Doug had me show David the photos of the light streaks I'd taken the night before.  Freaked David out.  Then Doug and I started telling David some of the strange happenings that have been going on here at home.  When David had got to the point where he was really freaking out Doug and I stopped.  David went into the kitchen to get a glass of tea then went into the "man cave" to smoke a cigarette.  David had no sooner left the living room when the front door opened.  This door does not creak when it is opened.  However, this time the door creaked opened and there was no one there on the outside of the door.  Since I was closest I hopped up and looked outside.  There was no one there. I turned and looked at Doug and he looked at me. Doug asked me if I thought it was Jeff.  I said most likely.  I then said "Come on in Jeff" jokingly.

Doug and I both agree that the front door was securely closed.  I then went and asked David if he had noticed whether the door was closed completely or not.  He agreed that the door was closed completely.  David didn't take the news too well about the door opening by itself.

New Hair Cut

I got my hair cut on 7/22/2014.  Later that night I was sitting on the couch and decided I should take a photo to send to Adele to show her my new cut.

So I grabbed my cell phone, turned the camera on and snapped a photo.  Turned the camera around so I could see the photo.  Strange.  There was a streak going across my face.  So I turned the camera back on and took another photo.  Looked at that photo and there was another streak, but this time it was lower down, not directly across my face like the first photo.  So I took a third photo and there was no streak on this one.  I took all 3 photos in less than a minute.

Somebody's knocking on the front door at 4 AM on 6/26/2014

Interesting. There was a knock at the front door. Zoey heard it too. She started barking. Since I was already in the living room only took me a few seconds to get to the door and open it. I grabbed the gun first. Imagine that. There was no one there. Zoey took off outside and could not find anyone. Wonder if it was Jeff?

Naked legs

I woke up with some wicked heartburn.  I got up and took some Alka Seltzer.  While waiting for it to work its magic I went out to the living room.  I turned the light on and sat down on the couch.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed bare male legs walking from the living room to the kitchen.  My first thought was it was Sam, my nephew who has moved in with me while he is going to college.  But as I turned my head there was no one there.  That is when it dawned on me I only saw legs, no feet, no torso.  Just calves, knees and thighs.  Had to have been Jeff.  He always lounged around the house in the nude.  He liked to be comfy.  Also, Beau went running towards the kitchen then stopped, and looked at me like he was wanting to know where Daddy had gone to.  So I am pretty sure Beau saw him.

Sleepy Hollow 11/18/2013

I was watching the TV show Sleepy Hollow on Monday, November 18th.  I wasn't paying that much attention to the show as I was chatting with Carla Liberty on Face book.
All of a sudden I realized that the TV had no sound.  I looked at the TV and noticed that commercials were on. I grabbed the remote control and pushed the volume button, nothing happened.  I pushed the mute button, nothing happened.  Then the show came back on before I could change channels.  The sound also came back on with the show.  This continued to happen all the way through the show until the last commercial break, where the screen went black an the sound stayed on.  Coincidentally, this TV is the one in the bedroom.

Beaudro's pain medicine 10/21/2013

Beaudro has a abscess on his left rear leg. I've been keeping his pain meds in the fridge as they told me to keep them refrigerated even though it doesn't say to on the bottle. So Monday morning, get up when the alarm goes off. Go into the kitchen. The bottle is not on the top shelf where I have been keeping it. I tear the fridge apart looking for it. It is a blue pill bottle with syringes filled with pain med. How hard can it be to find it? You'll never guess where I finally found it. In the sink in the bathroom. Mind you, I'd been in the bathroom. Brushed my teeth. Used the facility and washed my hands a couple times. The pill bottle was not there. Yet went into the bathroom to take a shower, and there was the bottle laying on its side in the bottom of the sink. And the bottle was cold to the touch like I'd just pulled it out of the fridge.

Check books and dollars

8/14/2013

Well I decided I had better pay some bills.  I do enjoy having electricity and water.  No they were not late.

So anyhow, I grabbed my checkbook and opened it up.  Imagine my surprise when I found a dollar bill.  It is no normal bill, wadded up and shoved into the checkbook.  No.  This bill has been folded up just like the 20.00 bill I found several months ago.  Also, this bill was placed in the middle of the checkbook, where the next check to be written was.

So yesterday, 8/21/2013, I talk to Sarah K.  She said she removed the chair cushion on her rocker chair and she found 2 one dollar bills folded the exact same way.

So what I want to know is why is Jeff leaving one dollar bills when he used to leave twenties?  Is he broke? Or are the ones from Mike?  What are they trying to tell us

Here is a photo of the bill Jeff left me.

Slap in the face? 11/13/2012

Well things are starting to get interesting.  My sister, Linda, suggested I get some sage and smudge the house. 

So, this is what happened.  I was taking a shower.  My washcloth was laying across the top of the shower doors. I was washing my hair.  I know I did not hit the shower door, as both doors would have rattled.  There was no rattling of the shower doors.  The washcloth came off the top of the shower door and hit me on the side of my face.

I spent quite awhile trying to recreate the washcloth falling off the shower door.  I used the same wet cloth and a clean dry cloth.  I was unable to get the cloths to fall.  I opened and closed the doors.  I rattled the doors.  I banged the doors.  The cloths stayed right there on top of the door.

Interesting find when I woke up on Halloween 2012

Ok.  I have to admit this one did freak me out.

When I woke up I spotted something very strange as soon as I opened my eyes and they focused on the pillow next to me.

The charger cord for my iPhone was unplugged from the plug and was coiled up like a person would coil up an extension cord.  I know I did not coil  that cord.  It was way to neat for me to have done it.  My coils are always a mess.

So I picked it up and placed it on Maggie who was sound asleep to show how neat the coil was.  I then unplugged the plugin thing and placed it on Maggie.  I'm undecided on who would have done this.  Jeff could coil a extension cord with the best of them, but not without some nagging.  Since I was using this cord to charge my iPhone, I did not want this cord coiled up.  In case you wanted to know, I forgot to plug the phone in to charge the night before.
