Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Halloween.  What scares you?  Do you believe in the Big Bad Wolf? Do you believe in Ghosts?  What does Halloween mean to you?


Halloween to me is more than Trick or Treating.  It's All Hallows Eve, the night that spirits both good and evil are allowed through to our world.  Kids wear costumes today because the evil spirits disguised themselves.  Watching scary movies and being scared makes Halloween fun!  I would love to go to a real live haunted house.  Not the make-believe haunted houses that kids go to, but one really possessed by ghosts or spirits.  I have a friend who is a member of a paranormal team.  I would love to go with her an investigate a house! 


I have lived in houses where I heard noises.  When I grew up my room had the attic door located within it.  I always heard strange noises up there.  I always believed that another family lived up there, hiding.  Even in the house we live in now I've heard things and seen things.  I've heard huge crashing noises when there was nothing that crashed or broke.  I've seen a towel swing back and forth on the shower curtain pole without there being any wind.  I've seen a huge paw print on the bathroom window.  Someone actually died of a heart attack in our bathroom, so I believe there are spirits here.  One day I was down our basement and saw our dog come down the stairs.  When I was going back up stairs I called for him, and he was already upstairs!  That really freaked the hell out of me!  Lately, for a while now, there hasn't been anything that has happened.  The last thing that happened was about a year ago when I was dusting in our living room.  I picked up a water glass and there underneath it was a perfect smiley face!  I took a photo, so I have proof!




Perfect smiley face in water found under a water glass.  No joke!

I swear I did not create this watermark.  I don't think anyone could.  I don't know if it was a sign from God saying "Have a great day!" Or maybe, it was a sign from a spirit, a friendly spirit.  Either way, I guess I was meant to find it.  I wish I could have kept it!


There was another photo I wish I knew where it was, and I may have it somewhere.  It was a photo of my daughter Elle.   She was named after me, Dawn Ellen, and my great grandmother, Ella.  In the photo of Elle, it turned out sort of double exposed.  You see, there was also a photo of my great grandma in the photo with her.  Weird, because my grandma Ella died when I was 11 years old.  I'm going to look for this photo and if I find it, I will post it.


I hope you all don't think I'm a freak!  I'm just unique!  Growing up I've also participated in seances.  My friend Deanna, who lived above a funeral home, had a slumber party in the funeral parlour, where they hold the funerals.  We played "As light as a feather, as stiff as a board" and tried to levitate someone.  My friend's family had their washer and dryer in the basement by the embalming room.  When the dryer went off it played "How Dry I Am"!  How weird is that!  When I was in college there was an ice storm and my friends and I played with a Ouija Board that night.  It spelled the name of a child from Alexandria, Minnesota who had died.  That was quite freaky!


No matter what you believe, have a great Halloween everyone!  Don't let the ghosts or goblins get you!
