Halloween: Paranormal Experiences Post (The Unrated Version)

<< < (14/17) > >>

I've told my only personal "ghost" experience on the first page, but I apparently have a new one to tell, but not as entertaining.

First off, my wife has told me on many occasions that she has heard footsteps in our house, and has even "saw" a man in the hallway before. She is home alone all day, so in most cases I just chalk it up to active imagination. (I  heard footsteps in my house as a kid too since I was a latch-key child most of the time).

Anyways, every since we have come here, things have turned up missing in strange ways over and over. For instance, I will see a tool sitting in a spot for weeks that I don't have a use for, but when I have a use, it is gone and absolutely nowhere to be found. Then after I have compromised and don't need it anymore, it will show up in the same place I saw it before in a week or two. Most of the time I just chalk these instances up to poor organization or me or the wife moving it but forgetting about it. However, some of the times are just plain odd if you know what I mean. We often joke that we have a gnome that likes to play tricks on us, but some of these incidents do really spook us.
Last night, one of those odd situations came about again. We always keep the nose syringe for our baby on the shelf under the changing table. Well, we went to look for it and it was nowhere to be found. I mean I looked EVERYWHERE more than once. I swore my wife left it somewhere in the house, and she swore she left it right where it always is. Anyways, both of us had tore apart that shelf several times apiece during our frustrating search. The next morning as we are getting ready to leave to go to the store to buy a new one, the wife looks down at the shelf and notices something. There that damn syringe was right on the shelf where it always is. We both just kind of looked at each other and at the same time said "No way, that thing was NOT there last night".

but do you think you could be a dead person?

Its distinctly possible.  It would explain the lack of laughs to my attempts at humor.

When my wife and I go for long drives, we read to each other.  Usually she does the driving and I do the reading because my voice doesn't get tired and recently my wife has developed a propensity for motion sickness.  One day we were driving up to southern Idaho (from Utah) during the night time.  I had been reading for a while and I looked up and said, "Stacy . . . is the sky red?"  It looked like a normal, starry night sky, but it just had a distinctly reddish hue.  She said, "That's weird, it does kind of look red, doesn't it?  It must just be something reflecting off our windows."  There was a radar detector with some red LEDs and, of course, the dashboard lights.  But it just didn't sit right with me.  Finally I opened my window (it was the middle of winter so my wife started yelling at me).  I was like, "No . . . it's still red.  WTF?"  We figured it must just be light pollution from some city (though there were no large cities very nearby).

A day or two later we happened to catch a news report that the Northern Lights were visible abnormally far south, in northern states like Michigan, for example.  I'm sure that's what it was.  Pretty weird at the time, though.

I believe the problem comes from a lack of smilies in your posts.  Modern culture has been warped by laugh tracks used in television sitcoms, so now the only way to get people to laugh is by telling them its time to laugh....or your attempt at humor just wasn't funny  ;D
