Overcast Tuesday

So in my previous post I made a comment of very little happening in my home, well I spoke to soon. Although nothing major in itself, and I'm surprised how complacent how relaxed I have become over everything that happens here, well let me explain the latest happening.

On Tuesday (2nd of September) I went into the kitchen at around 22:10 to have a sneaky slice of toast, well as I approached the kitchen top my shadow on the counter top caught my eye, to my shock my shadow became darker and grew in size despite me moving no closer to it.

I stopped and thought as to if I should turn around, but I did in a matter of moments, but nothing was stood behind me.

Well I had my slice of toast and made my way back to the bedroom, as I was getting my stuff ready for bed, and for work the following morning. I couldn't of been in the bedroom for more than 40 seconds when my girlfriend could be heard calling me. Her voice had a sense of urgency about it, so I made my way back towards the kitchen only to find my girlfriend stood in the kitchen doorway and she asked me if I could hear the flapping.

I moved closer to where she was stood, but could hear nothing at all, she said it stopped as I approached the room.

When I asked her to explain what she meant, she said she could hear this odd noise coming from the room, but she felt like it was coming from a wooden ornament on the wall. she went on to say she couldn't explain it really as it didn't make sense, as she knew something couldn't be trapped in the ornament.

I took the ornament off the wall, and looked it over, but nothing struck me to be wrong with it.

The boot

On Monday night (4th August) I was just getting ready for bed, you know the usual things, brush teeth, laying my clothes out for work the next day. Drawing the curtains closed, putting on the T.V. then getting undressed and getting into bed. Well that was fine, and all was normal until I decided to turn the light off followed by the T.V.

As I turned off the T.V. I was convinced that to the right of the screen and on the floor was stood a tall ladies boot. I actually tried to focus on it really hard, but again the boot seemed to just fade out. It's a really hard thing to explain, and I just can't put the correct words to this virtual page. But again it's like a shimmer object, you can kind of see it but not.

Well I turned the light back on, but as I knew in my head, nothing would be there.

The calling

Well for the last 6 weeks I've been awaiting some test results for an MRI scan I had, so to say the least, when the results were given to me it was a welcome relief to myself. I wouldn't consider myself as a worrier at all, but this could of been life changing, and for the worse.

Why am I telling you this you may ask, well it was on Monday (21/07/14) that I had my appointment, and also on Monday night that I was called. Let me set the scene for you.

I had walked into my bathroom to was my face with some cold water as it was rather a hot evening, and after I splashed my face I looked directly into my mirror at my own reflection. I couldn't decide if I wanted to cry with relief or just to carry on and not mention to my girlfriend the severity of the situation. It was at this moment that I heard in my left ear a female voice calling my name.

The way it was done was slightly different to normal in that my name was drawn out, it was made longer which made it sound odd. Also the fact that it felt like it came from someone stood within 4 feet of me, yet I know my girlfriend was in fact in the front room, on the other side of the house.

So with towel in hand and patting my wet face down, I walked to the door way of the front room and asked my girlfriend what did she want. She looked at me puzzled and said "I never called you, maybe it was the ghost". I said "Ha, yeah right, did you call the dog ?" and she said "I was playing with the dog, so might of made some sounds, but I didn't call him". So either these sounds changed when they traveled down my hallway, or my head and ears just messed with me.

My walk back to the bathroom felt rather cold, despite the heat, and more thoughts went through my mind, but not about the voice, about my life and it's direction.

The Stairway

It was before 9pm last night when Max my dog was playing up a little, and by playing up a little I mean he was unsettled and restless, there was no reason for this, he just was ?

Well as the evening went on I became more aware that he was sat looking into the corner of the front room. I kept braking his concentration by throwing his ball into the hall way. But after one throw he never returned to the room, yet oddly for the first time ever he was sniffing at the front door that opens into the hallway. Well I went out into the hallway to see what he was doing, and asked him to return to the front room, but he wasn't having it. So I opened the door to the main front hallway, and he stood sniffing, and then he barked a little, followed by a little growl. I reassured him that nothing was there by walking out into the hallway, and although the hallway is poorly lit I walked to the bottom of the stairway and started to walk up. Max unusually didn't follow me, he decided to stay by the door, at this point I called to him and said "Come on old boy, there's nowt here".

But as I turned to look up the stairs, I saw something in the light. Now this is really hard to describe, and it wasn't like anything you see in a horror film, it was like a shimmer in the like. It was almost like something blurred my vision, really odd, but it seemed to have some kind of form, and moved across the top of the stairs and down towards me.

Well although it sounds really odd I rubbed my eyes, and took out my phone and started to take some photos. Now again I have explained in an earlier post that my phone is an old Nokia E63, and not the best thing, but I had to take or try to take what I was seeing. Looking back on it I did actually feel colder, but didn't put it down to anything other than leaving a warm seat I was sat in.

I will post the 3 photos up unedited, as they were taken off of my phone. Then below them I will post one that I tried to edit in photo shop (not my best skill)

All I have done on these pictures is outline just a slight difference in light within the photo, and I don't know, I'm sat here looking at these thinking maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. But that doesn't explain the dogs unusual behavior, or the fact that 1. I felt really cold and 2. I saw something in the dark with my own eyes.

Maybe I just need a holiday ? but again, I'm not doing this to make money, or gain attention as I'm anonymous.

The Following

Well here we are again, a new entry, although based on something that happened a over 2 weeks ago.

I must say the main reason for my lack of updates is mainly down to me just trying to get on with my life and the acceptance that something is going on here, but not to allow it to alter my day to day life. So let's rewind a few nights then shall we.

I was up late one evening laid on my bed watching a little T.V. I wasn't watching anything specific just channel hopping really, but as the night drew on I decided to go and get a fresh glass of water to have beside my bed. Well I got up and sat on the edge of the bed, gathered my thoughts, stood up, took a deep breath and turned to my left to head off towards my kitchen.

I hadn't taken more than about 6 steps when I heard behind me a thump on the floor, I continued walking out of the room feeling Max my dog to my left side and walking with me. Well it's funny how things work isn't it, as at that very moment when I entered into my hallway I suddenly thought to myself that in fact Max hadn't been on my bed beside me, at which point Max walked into the hallway to greet me from the front room.

I stopped immediately, turned around and walked back into the bedroom and also took a quick look around the house to make sure no other animal had gotten in. Although I knew all along that nothing could have, and although a very unusual experience, and something that my dog didn't even take any notice of, well I put it aside and thought I must of just been over tired. But in my head I knew otherwise, but can you have ghost dogs ? even if it was a dog.

The Bathroom Door 2

Isn't it odd how some nights you just cannot sleep, well last night was one such night. I have no idea as to why I felt that way, but I tossed and turned in my bed last night until about 2:10am which I guess was fine as I didn't have to be up early today.

But that's not the annoying part, I had only just started to drift off into dream land when the bathroom door slammed shut. Now it didn't slam with a massive amount of force, but it closed firmly, and enough to make me freeze for a moment as I contemplated getting up and checking to see if everything was o.k.

I must of hesitated for about 20 seconds before I got up and walked down the hallway to check the door, and indeed it was closed. I opened the door and walked into the bathroom, but the room actually felt fine.

So I walked back to the bedroom to find my girlfriend was still sound asleep, although the dog looked at me with one open eye and one closed eye.

This morning I have checked the door a fair few times to see if I could get it to close on it's own again, and I will admit that the door will slowly and I mean slowly move. But this only happens if A: the bathroom window is left open, which it wasn't last night, and B: if you leave it ajar by about 2", but again it doesn't by any means slam shut.

Follow This Blog

So I was sat here this morning thinking to myself that due to the randomness of when events happen in and around this lovely home of mine, it must make it hard for you all to follow my updates. So if you wish to get new updates as and when I post them, then please feel free to pop your email address in the little box I circled (in pic below) to the right of this post.

That way you will receive notification of my next update.

As of yet I am still standing to my "no reveal" about who I am and also to not advertising this blog. I'm not here to sell a movie script and would wish to remain anonymous, simply because I don't want to be labelled as a "crazy". I am however considering writing an e-book which would go deeper into the actually events that take place here, and to also cover lots of the other events I don't blog about. But again I don't want to be seen as a sell out, I just wanted to document the odd goings on in this house, and how I myself whom always acknowledge that paranormal things may go on in "other" peoples lives (including my own), but nothing as blatant as they do here.

Let's see what the future brings, as I don't want to appear to commit to anything that simply won't happen.

As for events in the house, and as I have stated before, lot's of "little" things happen that I don't even blog about. Some of which I can just explain away as "just things" that happen, you know, noises, misplacing things, lights flickering etc and again to be honest, in order for me to write about it, well I have to feel pretty strong about what has actually happened.

 
One thing I have done lately was to have a conversation with my mum about some of the "odd" things that happened to me as a child. My mum has also related some of the odd stories that happened to her. So although not directly related to this house, I may document some of those things.
