The Smokey Room

I guess my first post on here will be a relatively long one as there is so much to say but I will try and keep it as short and interesting as possible.

To begin with I think its best to say that I and my mum are both mediums who live in the same household. My mother is more active than me in her practices and gives regular tarot readings to people who have been coming back to her for years. So it's safe to say our home is kind of a hot bed of paranormal activity.

Over the years there have been many "bumps in the night" so to speak of, and strange happenings.

It was at a young age my mum realised I was also gifted like her - it happened when I was only 5 years old. I had an obsession with the film 101 Dalmatians and, as a surprise, my father was planning on stopping by a friend's house whose dog had recently had a litter of Dalmatian puppies. My mother turned to me and asked, "Do you know where were going?" and without hesitation I replied, "Yes, we're going to see the puppies". My parents' jaws dropped and could not figure out how I instinctively knew where we were going. It was from then on that they knew there'd be interesting encounters to prepare for.

The encounter that this story is related to happened to me in the late summer this year.

I was sitting on the sofa one afternoon after a rather active night of doors being slammed, light bulbs bursting and hearing footsteps coming from the landing upstairs when I kept sensing there was a presence in the house. I smelt this strange burning aroma. A few minutes after this smell had subsided, this trail of blue smoke entered the living, and it went up the stairs and congregated on the landing at the top of the stairs.

I ran up there assuming I had left my straighteners on or something, but when I got to the top of the stairs the smoke seemed to evaporate into thin air although no window or door was open for it to move to?

In a panic I called mum and told her what had happened and how I could not figure out what happened but felt very on-edge. We called in an electrician to check all the appliances and plugs to eliminate the worry that it may have been electronic related problem for our own peace of mind and safety. The electrician could not find anything wrong.

To this day I have no idea what happened that afternoon and have been unable to find an answer. If anyone has an idea of what this could be I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading.
