Poof
I live in a haunted house..
Banging noises....check
Conversations...check (you can hear them but can't understand what they are saying)
Things missing...check
Toe grabbing...that too
I will tell you about one of the missing things. It was a black sharpie. My partner used it, laid it on the table in the living room. Went back to get it and it was gone. We searched everywhere and joked around about the "ghost took it".
A few weeks later the neighbor was here, my partner was telling him about the missing sharpie and how he had needed it so many times since. We were sitting at the kitchen table, we heard a loud noise. Partner looked down and there was the missing sharpie.
Neighbor went home.
Toe grabbing...Partner would go to bed and several times a week he would feel something tugging at his toes. It would make him yell and his leg would jump. After a while he said it needed to stop, he had to go to sleep. Toe tugging stopped.
Until...
Grandson and Granddaughter were spending a few days with us with their mother and we decided it would be a good idea to prank Grandpa. Grandson belly crawled into our room, hid at the foot of the bed and pulled on Grandpa's toe. Grandpa would yell, and finally he sat up to catch grinning face of grandson. Big laugh.
A few minutes later Grandpa yells again, Toe was tugged. He yelled at grandson. Grandson answered from three rooms away.
There is so much more but I am tired of typing.....
My favorite is the smell of lilacs, then having your arm or hair patted gently. The little boy laughing during a funny movie...(our "baby" is 42, no children live here). The man who crosses our porch and walks toward the river every evening about 6pm. Neighbors see him too. In one of the bedrooms there is crashing like a mirror falling, we go in there, nothing is out of place.
Missing things: a glass baking dish for several years now, a shoe, one of those kendal readers, the sharpie i spoke of, food items finding dog toys in the basement. (she won't even go to the landing, she just stands there with her hair up and her ears up like she is watching someone). I can't even remember all the silly things that just go "poof".
Then there was the time we were out of the country and the neighbor asked us who the lady was that we had house sitting. We didn't have a house sitter. The neighbor told us she saw the woman several times in the window, just standing there. Oh, and the time the Halloween decorations I laid on the desk in my office just disappeared, never to be seen again in years and years.
