There is something fascinating about the unknown. Curiosity about
the super natural entices us to dig a little deeper into it. We're
unsure if we really want to believe that spirits are among us, yet
curiosity gets the better of us. Personal experience has shown me
that spirits do roam among us.
This is not some article of fiction, I am not the only one to be in
its presence. A family member of mine worked in a nursing home. She
had become taken with a little old man who's family seldom came
around. She made sure she gave him special attention. She would bake
cookies and such on the weekends and bring them to him come Monday
morning when she came to work. His health was really bad but every
Friday he would ask," Can I go home with you?" The answer was always
the same, "We'll see a little later". One morning she came in and
they told her the elderly gentleman had passed away. It was a moment
of sadness.
Shortly there after strange things started to happen in her home.
Lights being turned on, the tv being turned off and on. Then one
night she awoke to see what looked like a small boy standing at the
foot of her bed. He stood there silently just staring at her. The
first thought was it was her own son. She scolding him and told him
to go to bed. The next day her son assured her that he had been
upstairs all night. The incidents began to grow more and more. She
would try to do laundry and he would pull the basket away from her.
One night my son was visiting along with some other children and he
decided that playing with the water facet in the bathroom was fun.
The kids would take turns turning it off and he would turn it right
back on. Finally the mother had to come up stairs and scold him.
That ended that.
I was there alone one day, taking a bath and he got upset. I suppose
it was because I was in "their" house alone. He begin what sounded
like a herd of buffalo running through the upstairs walls. Things
sounded to me as if he was tossing things around. No I did not go up
to see. I have no desire to see such things.
My son and his new wife were thinking of ghost hunting and this
troubles me. Their plan was to catch it on film and record it at the
same time. Now the spirit in my family members home was docile. What
if you bring home more than just a image, sound or voice? You can't
choose what you bring home. It chooses you. Who in their right mind
would want some evil, demonic spirit taking over their home. That
would be like inviting a psychopath or serial killer to come live
with you. Never knowing what to expect, never knowing who it will
harm. Not all spirits are gentle. I do not know how they get here or
where they come from. I do know that I do not want them living with
me or through me.
