OMG - one random post

I can’t believe September is almost over. While browsing around PinkForOctober.org I realized that October 1st is only a few days away! After I’m finished with this post, I will begin working on October’s theme - covered in PINK in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Think I can have it all finished by the 1st? I guess we’ll find out! :P
I finally got around to buying some data discs while out shopping yesterday. I’ve been meaning to make backups of everything important on our computer, but I’ve kept putting it off. Josh transferred all of our photos onto a disc yesterday, and it makes me feel so much better to have them on something tangible…something that I’ll have, even if the computer crashes or something screws up my photos. The next thing I plan on doing (probably here in a few minutes, actually) is back up my wordpress database. While I’m at it, I’ll probably go ahead and upgrade to the newest version as well. I will feel so much better when I have that on a disc also! :)
As far as offline life goes, nothing much has happened lately. Unless you count a couple of my unmentionable redneck relatives, who were visiting my grandmother on her birthday and stole some of her prescription pain medication behind her back. Twats. I’d rather not be associated with them at all, and quite frankly, I’m ashamed of that side of the family…just because of how they are. They’re all drunks, thieves, and pill-poppers that have nothing better to do with their time than raid through my 83 year old grandmother’s prescription medication and steal pills from her. Good Lord. As far as I’m concerned, they can just go back down to the Florida swamps where they originated from, and keep all their drama down there.
There are times when I seriously believe that our house is haunted. I know that sounds crazy, but there are some things that happen occasionally in our home that really freak me out and make me want to sleep with one eye open. This morning I was in the shower; it was right after Josh left for work. As usual, Dylan went in there with me, so I could keep an eye on him. So, there I was washing my hair, my mind wandering…what I planned to do today, what to fix for dinner, etc. After I washed my face and opened my eyes, I noticed Dylan was standing by the tub, just staring at me. I pulled the shower curtain back a little more and asked him, “What’s wrong, baby?” He didn’t speak for about 20 seconds or so, and finally he replied with “Mommy, that scared me”. Naturally, I asked him what scared him. He just pointed to the bathroom door, which was closed. I looked, thinking it could’ve been a spider or something, but I didn’t see anything. I asked him again. He just kept pointing and staring at the door.
I was getting a little creeped out, but tried to brush it off and continue quickly with my shower so I could get out. He proceeded to try to get into the tub with me - with all of his clothes on. By that time, I was really afraid - maybe not of anything paranormal, but when you’re all alone in a house, in the shower, with a child that’s acting weird, your mind can wander and think of all sorts of scary things. One time I thought that someone might be in the house, hiding. Fortunately, after a thorough inspection of the house, I found nothing out of the ordinary, and Dylan was back to normal - playing and watching cartoons. Despite everything though, it’s been on my mind all day.
So, how do you feel about the paranormal? Do you believe in ghosts/wandering spirits/apparitions? What about the belief that small children and animals can sense spirits when no one else can? Do you think it’s a bunch of nonsense, and feel that every creepy noise and/or ghostly sighting can be scientifically explained? I’d like to know. Also, if any of you have had paranormal experiences, I would love for you to share your stories. :)

I very much agree with you. I’m not one who normally believes in ghosts or anything dealing with the paranormal, but when you’re by yourself, you’re easily spooked and random thoughts run through your head. You should probably ask him again what scared him. I honestly can’t think of WHAT would make him react they way he did, however. It is a creepy situation!
Oooh thats werid. I heard that small children see more then adults but who knows if its true. My nephew stands by my grandma’s photo and has been dead for quite awhile now and looks at it and turns his head as if someone was moving and he was watching where there going. Freaky! My brother and aunt both claimed they seen a ghost or whatever, my brother seen it when was about 3-4 years old and my aunt seen it when she was about 12 years old or so. werid.
I don’t believe in ghosts. I don’t believe in things I can’t see if that makes sense.. Sometimes I don’t make sense, lol.
I just finished my new theme for October…It’s actually the theme I’ve had up for about a week, so I just tweaked it, added a ribbon, and it’s all set! I can’t wait to see yours! I love looking at everyone’s pink themes…it’s almost like a contest!
I really need to get to backing up everything. I lost just about all my pictures taken from 2005-2006 (which included mine and James’ first year together) when my last laptop decided to die. *Places cd’s on shopping list*
Creepy stuff used to happen at the apartment James and I lived in. We heard things on a few different occasions. At first, I thought it was just me and my imagination, but James even heard a couple of things while I wasn’t home. Then sometimes when we got home, things just looked out of place….My sister was too afraid to even stay the night with us!
the paranormal scares me!! i am scared so easily by that sorta stuff :tongue:
Sorry about the whole family thing, I know what you mean when you say you weren’t related. I believe in ghosts I really do. I also believe about the whole idea about children and animals. After all I had a similar experience like your son when I was younger. Though it only happened once.
Thank you for posting the PinkForOctober link,I didn’t even know that there was this kind of “movement”…well I turned my site pink now ;)
Your relatives sound so mean and rotten,I would never ever take an old ladie’s medication for myself,wtf?
Awww that sounds really scary,but maybe Dylan just has an overactive imagination like most kids?!? ;)
Anyway,I do believe in the paranormal and take a great deal of interest into it, since one morning I woke up in my flat, where I live alone (!!!) and suddenly it felt like someone sat down on my bed and when I looked, no one was there…
Okay, you gotta hurry up now, Kristie - the 1st is almost here (for me it already is!) - and I want to see the new theme! :lol: Just kidding, take your time…
That whole bathroom incident is scary! I’m not sure if I believe in ghost-type-of-things or not… The louder voice in my head is always the logical, practical, rational one who tells me that it’s all just non-sense. I usually don’t believe in anything that can’t be scientifically proven, which I guess makes me somewhat of a nerd.
I wish I did believe in those things, though! There’s something really… exciting and interesting about it, if nothing else for the fact that it CAN’T be proven. My host mom back in Kentucky read a lot of books on this and always freaked me out with the stories she was telling about all of this. I swear, she is an expert on this kind of stuff.
And then, one night - while I was living with them over there in KY - the TV kept switching on and off by itself. I got all annoyed and started to cuss out electronics in general, COULD THEY NOT FOR ONCE JUST WORK RIGHT?!, but my host mom, again, began to tell all those stories about paranormals and how this could be someone who had lived in the house before, trying to tell them something. And she said that, at her grandma’s house, the TV always switched itself off whenever something bad was about to happen.
So yeah, it creeped me out and I started to doubt that rational, logical voice in my head.
I absolutely hate everything scary. Like, scary movies? Can’t watch ‘em. If I was to hear creeking or even glass shattering at night, knowing that somebody had just broken into the house, I couldn’t move. I’d stay in bed, scared to death, telling myself that it was probably just the wind or something stupid.
I’m weird like that. :mrgreen:
Wow man, thats crazy about Dylan.
My belief is that Children are actually very clairvoyant to spirits. As we have tons of things running through our conscious minds all the time, they don’t which makes it very easy for them to see things that we can’t.
You should pay attention to Dylan when he does things like that. Ask questions but don’t make him feel pressured. Allow him to explain if he can…He can tell you a lot.
There is a book I am reading right now by Sylvia Brown, “Psychic Children” you should really check it out. It gives LOTS of information.
