The Item

     Welcome to Paranormal Monday my friends!

     We were thinking about what to write about … and we sat down with notes to work from to write an article.  It’s going to be a series that will continue over the time span of about six to ten weeks.  And then guess what?  The fingers went to the typing keys and decided that they had another topic to talk about.  So … we will let them speak.

     Doug and I have had many experiences … both on our own as individuals … and as a couple.  There are definitely times that are more active than others.  We believe that the moon is a great influence because of the energy it puts out.  The more moon that is visible … the more the energy flows.  On full moons … well … the expression “it must be a full moon tonight” is known for a reason!

     We know we have done a lot of talking about ourselves on here and want to assure you that there will be other upcoming topics.  Lol   We just feel that this is a time of you getting to know us and it is important that we share some things.

     When you think of “paranormal” there may be several things that come to mind.  You might think of ghosts as the spirits of people who have lived here and died.  That is a common way to think.  In the big picture of things though, there are many other ways that things can apply to the word paranormal.  That is what our series is going to be discussing.  We will be introducing and discussing one thing at a time. 

     However … as I said earlier … my fingers just didn’t seem to want to go there.  What are my fingers thinking about?  They are thinking about some of the experiences they have had with “things” … items … that were causing problems.  Yes … this is another possibility you might encounter when dealing with the paranormal.

     We were having a lot of activity in my library room.  Things were getting moved around.  Noises that we couldn’t figure out where they were coming from.  Things falling.  Knocks.  We weren’t afraid … just curious as to what was going on.  Every day we would step into the room and just look to see if we found anything amiss.

     One day I just went on in and shut the door behind me.  My intent was to figure out what was causing this.  Now this was before we became investigators and had any equipment.  It was just a room … and us.  I just stood there … feeling uncomfortable and unsure … but refusing to leave.  Not saying anything out loud … just being there ... thinking and feeling the energy.  For some reason there was a particular item in the room that my eyes kept drawing to.  It was just sitting there … on a shelf … looking totally innocent.  I continued to try to react by not reacting … just soaking up the ambiance of the room … and breathing.  I did finally ask out loud as I looked at it, “Is that you doing that?” … and then I exited the room.  I told Doug what I thought was the cause and that we would keep an eye on it. 

     For the next few days, anytime that we heard a noise in there … day or night … we would go into the room … and just stand … and every time my eyes were drawn to the same item.  I would even point at it … just to let it know that I was getting this figured out.

     Now, please don’t think that this is going to work every single time … it isn’t always this easy … but in this instance it was all that was necessary.  I went into the room, asked it nicely to stop doing what it was doing because it was making my dogs bark all of the time and scaring people.  It isn’t nice to scare people.  Then I got the box that it came in, wrapped it up in some tissue paper, put it into the box, placed it in the cabinet on a shelf and closed the door.  The activity stopped.

     We still own this item and it is still on the shelf wrapped in tissue paper and in the box that it came in.  We have had no further problems.  Although … if we get it out of the box and leave it set out for a few days … yes … you already know … there will begin to be activity.  As long as we store it wrapped and in the box … all is well.

     That is what my fingers were thinking about and it is tempting to go pay it a visit and get it out of the box.   But not right now.  Sigh.  I have work to get done and places to go.  This coffee is delicious and I think I am ready for another cup. 

     Notice that I didn’t tell you what the item was.  Mean, huh?  And Ray … if you are reading this … it isn’t what you think it is!  (hee hee … I may write about that later)

     I would be interested in hearing your stories.  You can contact me by email.  The address is on the card up above.  If you do, please put the word “paranormal” as the topic.

Blessings to all!

Doug and Ava
