Things have been pretty quiet in my home since the beginning of September. This all changed last week. Does it have something to do with the full moon, or maybe the thinning of the veil between the worlds? Or is it just coincidence?
I've been having a hard time sleeping the night through for a long time now, so when I say I was awake during these experiences, I was awake. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
I sleep with the remote to my fan and a pen light under my pillow and an extra pillow between my legs (to ease my back). Makes it a lot easier to find the light and remote when I need them.
Tuesday, October 27, 2015: At 1:00 am I had to use the bathroom. When I got ready to get back into bed I noticed a couple things: 1) the remote to the fan and light were in the middle of the side I was sleeping on, and 2) the pillow was at the head of the bed with my others, not where I had left it.
There is no way I would not have noticed if the remote and light had been there all night. I would have rolled over/on them many times. Well, once really because I'd have stuck them back under my pillow. And I didn't put the extra pillow back up with the others at the head of my bed. I don't do this until I make my bed. I certainly wouldn't have done it intending to get right back into bed.
About 15 minutes prior to this our cat Rex (asleep on my bed) and I heard a noise in my bedroom from the closet area (left side of my bed), sort of a creaking type noise but not like someone walking on my floor or a door opening. Rex jumped at the exact time I heard the noise.
My grandson will stare into my closet, especially when it's dark in the bedroom. He doesn't appear to be afraid, just looks for several seconds and then continues with whatever he was doing. During the daytime he plays in it, but he never acts like he's afraid. My daughter, on the other hand, hates being able to see in my closet. She said she feels like someone is watching her. Occasionally I feel that way too, but it doesn't scare me.
Wednesday, October 28, 2015: Around 2:10ish, I let Rex out, got back in bed, realized if I didn't get up and pee I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. I went to the bathroom and then got back into bed. At 2:18 am, I heard a female voice say " 'ey" (like hey without the "h"). Not in a "you're ignoring me" kind of tone, just matter of fact "ey". I thought that was pretty cool but I was going back to sleep.
At 5:56 am my grandson awoke and I realized I'd overslept by about 30 minutes (sleep didn't come as easily as I'd hoped). As I was trying to encourage him to go back to sleep, I heard a female voice say "Come in." Huh!? That one really got my attention. Who is she telling to come in and where are they being invited into? Both times the voice came from the same side of my bedroom: the right side (opposite side of the closets). I don't know that it makes a difference, but I did notice that. And I do believe it was the same female voice.
Thursday, October 29, 2015: At approximately 2:15 am I was lying in bed, trying to get back to sleep, when I felt a cat jump on my bed. I was lying on my left side and felt the cat's paws land behind my knees. Our cat was outside.
Friday, October 30, 2015: This morning at 4:30 our back door slammed shut (located in laundry room) and a few seconds later Rex came in my bedroom. I had put Rex out when I went to bed. Thinking maybe my son had just let Rex in, I waited to see if he was going into the bathroom or was on his way back to his bedroom. I never saw him, heard any footsteps, and the bathroom light never came on. What I thought odd at the time was I never heard my son's bedroom door open, and didn't hear his footsteps coming from his room to the laundry room. My daughter wasn't home. So who let Rex in?
Monday, November 2, 2015: I took my son to dinner as a late birthday celebration. As we were eating, he told me he thinks our ghosts are around more lately. I reminded him about my recent experiences with the remote/light, the woman's voice, Rex being let in, and then told him about our ghost cat jumping on the bed behind me.
He said, "But I hear a man, Mom." He hears him in his bedroom but can't make out what is said. Sometimes it sounds like more than one voice to him, but he definitely can make out one male voice.
I've compared Moon Phases for the past 5 years to my Journal to see if the activity is more apparent during the Full Moon in October (http://www.moonconnection.com/moon-october-2014.phtml).
*In 2010 we had activity on the 22nd, 25th and 28th. Full Moon from the 21st through the 25th.
*2011 visions on 18th, 19th and 25th. Full Moon from 10th through 14th.
*2012 activity on 1st and 31st. Full Moon October 1st and 2nd and again 28th through 31st. (September was far more active.)
*2013 activity/visions 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th, 17th, 21st, and 22nd. Full Moon 18th through 21st.
*2014 9th and 24th. Full Moon 7th through 10th.
So, after looking at the activity in our home versus the Full Moon phases, I'm not sure I believe the Full Moon has anything more to do with our experiences than any other time. I didn't take Blue Moon, Blood Moon, etc into consideration. Maybe at some point I will.
As for Lassie, I always did have a huge affection for that tv show because of my family's collie Shiela. I tried to like your comment but was informed to vote for someone else--but I liked it!
