Ghost Turns Off The Lights

 

This is a collection of stories told to me by my mother last year; and a personal experience of my own.

My mother was at her home with my younger sister (11) and her friend (Brianna), and her 2 cats, Angel and Shadow. Mum and my sister were watching a SpongeBob DVD, when suddenly the subtitles turned on. The subtitles were flicking in between Spanish and English, and French. The amazing thing is that the English subtitles used words that were directly related to personal stuff that was going on in my mum's life; the subtitles weren't showing words that were to do with the DVD (i.e. Subtitling the SpongeBob DVD).

The second story is unusual as well. My sister has an odd light bulb in her room that turns on and off and flickers. Anyway, Brianna went into the room, and the light turned off by itself, but when Brianna left the room, the light switched itself on. This happened throughout the night.

I have also had my own strange experience at my mother's house. I was asleep on the fold-out couch, when I heard a dog barking from inside. It sounded as it was a small dog. The "dog" jumped up on the couch and nuzzled at my feet. My mother does not own a dog. But she did own a dog that has since passed on. This dog was a Corgi and my mother owned him when she was a child. Maybe the "dog" was my mother's Corgi, in spirit.

It's interesting to me that though you say that the subtitles flashed helpful advice, you don't get more specific than that. If you want your story to be accepted as legitimate, we need details. If the messages were too personal, why even mention them at all? In order for your readers to make a decision about your writing, and for them to actually take something away from it, we need the whole truth. So many people on this website try to write with an air of mystery. We don't need more mystery when the subject at hand is mysterious. We just want the facts. I'm sure a lot of readers will agree with me. We want to know exactly what happened. This will help us help you. Sorry, another rant, I do that too much. Back to your story, sounds like electrical problems to me. The only thing in your story that sounds vaguely paranormal is the dog thing. But being asleep does weird things to people.

The light sounds like an electrical issue. Have an electrician come over to at least check it out. If he says the wiring in the house is good, them it may be something paranormal.

My brain isn't fully engaged at the moment for discussing the other two things, so please forgive me.

Hey Lilady4,

I loved reading your sharings and I do agree with taz850 that this mite be a member of your family which passed on. If no, its just a ghost haunting your place and as long it does not feel negative its okay I think.

Greetings,
Peter

Hi taz890, no my mum doesn't speak french or spanish. She is in love with all things French (like me), and we have no idea why. The messages that came up was helpful advice.
