Although I love to read paranormal, scifi, and fantasy, I can’t say that I believe in ghosts, hauntings, fairies, angels, demons, trolls (the last three excepting living human varieties), ESP, or various mythical creatures including unicorns and bigfoot. I do believe in flexible minds able to imagine such, but happily, most brains return to reality at the conclusion of a tall tale. A long time ago my sister said she saw our deceased Scottish uncle walking across a northern lake playing bagpipes. I don’t’ think he ever played pipes or had ever been at that particular place. However, I also don’t judge her comments because I don’t know the circumstances under which it happened, which I do believe has great bearing on such occurrences.
The appearance of bizarre shadows shows the haunting third
indicator at work. Have I ever mentioned I have eight cats? Of course, I see bizarre
shadows and reflections. That’s how cats operate. This phenomenon also answers
indicators four and five. Four mentions the strange behavior of pets. Answered
with a question: do cats ever act normal? And five, the feeling of being
watched: Eight pairs of staring eyes from creatures known for their
intimidating glares covers that; I have no time for any other stare.

A recent article by David Moye
gave eight good reasons to believe your house is haunted. Now, I helped build my house
thirteen years ago, and one person has died in this house, but I don’t believe
my home is haunted.
Indicator number one for ghostly inhabitants is unexplained
noises. Usually, I just go investigate such sounds, usually caused by wind or animal, and I haven’t found an
unexplainable noise yet.
Indicator two includes moving items. With my memory and
penchant for putting something down while my mind shifts gears to a new
question or quest – well, yes, things go missing. I eventually find them. Now,
I must mention I think my house has a floating black hole. Desired items I’m
looking for slip into this hole only to reappear long after they were needed in
exchange for some much desired right now item. This, however, might well be
explained by new theories in quantum physics.

Terrifying dreams come under indicator six. I’ve covered
this in another post: Alien Wakeup Call.
Indicator seven, the spontaneous turning on of electronic
devices is explained by several happenstances: a cat’s innate ability to place
a paw on a remote and hit exactly the right button (times 8); the vagaries of
rural electric service, and little understood and malfunctioning appliance timers.
Last on the indicators is unexplained writing. Other than
most of my writing is unexplained, I haven’t run into this singularity on foggy
windows or other places unless a well-known living person left it for me. It
has never happened here, so the judgment is out on this one. Maybe someday?
Perhaps a genetically modified for human sentience cat will be dropped off some
night. I look forward to the event.
May your hauntings be blessed. Please click on over to Ginger Simpson's blog on this topic.
