'Tis Halloween

Poem by Ava Potterfield

October 31, 2014

 
'Tis Halloween 

 

Are you alone in a dark, dark place?

Is there something brushing against your face?

Are there sounds near by …

And you don’t know why?

 

Is your hair standing up?

Did something go bump?

Are there chills on your arm?

Does something mean you harm?

 

Oh be careful my friend …

And so firmly stand …

This is Halloween night …

And it is filled with fright.

 

Look to the left …

Breathe with each step.

Look to the right …

Be filled with might.

 

While on this jaunt …

You might experience a haunt!

It is in the air …

And could be anywhere!

 

 

Travel in twos …

Because if it’s true …

And you travel alone …

You might not get home.

 

Still the beating of your heart …

Try not to jump with a start.

Close your eyes as you breathe …

Stepping lightly as you leave.

 

Oh be careful my friend …

And so firmly stand …

This is Halloween night …

And it is filled with fright.

 

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

Wow!


 
 
 
It has been an incredibly active day for this paranormal investigator!  Wow!  And that is about all I can say about it.  Wow.  Just wow.
Normally we don’t do anything as a solo person … we always work in twos just for safety reasons.  Well … today just didn’t turn out that way.  Doug has worked all day and I had to take care of a few things on my own. 
I want you to know that I have been investigating for years.  I have been having these experiences my whole life.  I have had many experiences ranging from noises, knocks, voices, apparitions, shadow people, doppelgangers, being touched, even being assaulted … these are not new things to me.
One of the trainings I have trained so hard for is learning to react by not reacting when you are taken by surprise or even scared.  And you do get scared.  To have the ability to remain calm and give the air of taking in everything nonchalantly like it’s no big deal and happens every day.  You’re not scared.  You’re not nervous.  You’re not surprised or taken aback by anything.  And talking in a calm, even and clear voice no matter what is going on around you.
Today was just one of those days.  Everything happening at once.  No break in between … just bam, bam, bam.  But … today also was an attainment of personal success for me.  Why?  Because I handled the situations in a calm manner and acted on auto pilot.  Now why would I be happy about that?  Because it means when my training was put to the test … finding myself alone in these situations today … I not only remembered everything I was trained to do … but I did it all without even thinking about it!  Now … THAT …. That … is a wonderful thing!  And that has given me a new edge of confidence.  Now that’s not to say that my heart hasn’t sped up just thinking about my experiences today … but I did it! 
I may post more about my experiences today at a later time.  But what I can tell you right now … is … that I am one happy paranormal investigator!  One with a rapid heartbeat at the moment … but happy!
 
Blessings My Friends!
