Home Projects

Remember when I said we were redoing the upstairs loft/bar over the holidays? Well, uhm, geez, that, uhm....didn't...uhm, well it...it didn't get done. [ feet shuffling ]

David wasn't off extra days over the holidays and it wasn't fair to make him spend his weekends doing something that is ultimately for me. So soon, very soon we will start doing it a little by little.

I am excited. Especially about the new light that ties in with the new sink, and the new counter top, and the....you get the point. But don't worry -- there will be pictures when we're done, or along the way, or both. And who knows, there will probably be orbs in the pictures. Did I tell you the ghost made another appearance? Oh well, story for another day.

I am being investigated.

So after my paranormal report this weekend, I have been contacted by the Louisville Ghost Hunter Society. They want to do an investigation of the "activity" in my home.

I assumed they meant the ghost and not the wild sex.

We shall see what becomes of this.

My husband is seeing another woman.

I think I have mentioned before how we question whether our house is haunted.

Remember the orbs? And then those in these pictures that I chose to ignore?

Other things have happened that we have kind of joked about, a bit nervously....

• Several times the front door has been found unlocked. We never use the front door. We enter and exit from the garage.

• Where I sit in the evenings watching television in proximity to the glass doors on the entertainment center gives me a reflection of the stairs behind me going up and down. There is motion in those reflections quite frequently. I can never see a distinct form, but it is movement in my peripheral.

• About a month ago, my husband was home before me. He was upstairs in our bathroom and he heard what sounded like the garage door raising and me pulling into the garage and then coming into the house. He said it sounded like I had had a bad day because I was slamming things around. He came down to see me and found nothing. Then he started hearing noises coming from the basement that sounded like someone was beating on the duct work (no AC or furnace was even turned on due to nice weather). He decided that he had finally caught whoever had been getting in the house through the front door so he grabbed a club and a knife and headed to the basement. He found nothing.

I feel the need to say that I believe in ghosts and paranormal things. My husband does not. He is a skeptic and cynic.

Last evening, my parents and us were sitting at the dining room table. I was helping my mother activate her new cell phone and transfer phone numbers. We were all chatting as we did this. It was still daylight but not by much. At a pause in the conversation, we all heard a female voice very loudly say "Knock, Knock". We all looked to the patio door because that was the direction the voice came from. There was no one there.

It is important to note that we have a fenced yard and the gates are padlocked because of the dogs. You would have to scale a fence and climb stairs up the deck to get to our patio door.

Obviously we were all a bit spooked. It was at this point my husband chose to tell me something he had been withholding for over two weeks.

He came down in the middle of the night (about 3:00am) to let the dogs out one night. This is very typical. As he came down the stairs and started towards the patio door he saw an old woman in her gown standing in our atrium. In a moment, she was gone.

Holy shit!

What I am supposed to do with that information?

Pictures and Ghosts

I finally took photos of the headboard for you. Sorry it took me so long.

Of course, this is what it looks like most of the time:

On another note, I am a little freaked out by what I also found in the photos. Are those orbs?

My god there are tons of them. I also took pictures at the same time of our bar area and they aren't there so I know it isn't my camera. Here are those photos.

Any ghost hunters out there?

Please tell me these aren't orbs.

I can't deal with that right now.
