Comments for His Fire Burns Dark: Page 1

Stormangel, not sure if you were speaking to me or not since you didn't use a name. I'm not trying to make anyone look paranoid. I was asking for clarification from Lou, because it sounded like Lou was saying Martin had more than one account. I didn't want to assume that's what Lou meant, so I asked. Perhaps you would be wise to do the same, before assuming I was trying to make Lou look paranoid. We all know what assuming does. Lol

Lou I would have to agree with you that it does seem the people who come on here simply to cause problems are defended by the mods and left to their own devices while members really trying to help get hammered on for voiceing their opinions which are generally directed to those on here to cause problems.

Well it doesn't really matter does it, either way ganging up on people is not a way to behave. Jav's already left, I'm sure when I joined this site there wasn't heated arguements. Are you trying to make lou look paranoid? I didn't realise so many people had multiple accounts, why do that? To defend themselves? I would rather have my comments marked down, we should be free to have an opinion without being scared to post it, as I have been for the past few years. Anyway about your experience, great story Lou aka Boom, always like reading your stories and comments:)

I want to make sure I understand, Lou. Are you saying that you believe Martin has multiple accounts?

Well, I guess since everyone else is allowed to use their own story pages for their opinions, I will use my own. Who knows, maybe my line of logic will make sense to someone other than me.
By most dictionary definitions,
- a moderator, is a person who moderates; someone who is authorized to preside over a conversation, diffuse arguments, and maintain peace.
-a member, is someone who belongs to a group or organization of like-minded people or people with similar interests and participates in group function So, should a moderator be a member? Sure... When the group elects them to become an authority over group functions. Does anyone here ever remember being asked to elect or approve a moderator, at any point?
So, as we all know, moderators are selected by the website owner/administrator; to moderate discussions to maintain peace so that conversations are not sidetracked or hijacked for discussions not pertinent to the website administrator's liking. A very important task... I honestly believe. What I do not understand is why the moderators are participating in discussions, adding their own experiences and anecdotes, and directing conversations. I believe the moderators have experience and knowledge on the subject matter of this site. But are their opinions what they were "hired" for? Anyways, let's move on.
Websites may be for fun and folly, but a site this large is maintained as a money making venture. Moderators are in place to protect the interests of the site owner... Why they are not paid for this? I haven't a clue. Volunteering to support something you care about or believe in is commendable. But it seems like the longer this site is up, the more lucrative it becomes... Volunteering for a profitable company seems a bit naïve, to be quite honest.
Does the website owner ever monitor the site on his own? It has been years since I have seen an unprovoked post by the website admin on this site. Having the level of trust he has in his unpaid volunteers is astounding, because unless they need backup, we never hear from him otherwise... Or do we?
We all know the cesspool this site has become due to posters with multiple identities. Those who are most notorious of such behavior, who openly admit they are not interested in helping those with escaping their problems, are still allowed to be members; but those who question and condemn the behavior and motivations of these individuals are run off. Who, or what kind of person would harbor such an environment? Why would those with questionable, if not openly callous intent be defended for their freedom of opinion; even when they were publicly outed on this very website for not only pretending to be someone else solely to hurt one of the regular members, but who openly admits to having no interest in helping those he is drawn to, if they are interested in being freed from spiritual negativity, if not demonic oppression? Fresh meat, no retreat.
It appears the admin has found like-minded people... Even if he has to play the roles himself.

Boom.
The poster formerly known as Lou

Lou,
I came by to read this one again. Now I've got the creepy crawly goosebumps (again!). I can't help it. It's the last sentence that always gets me.
"Hello Tank" (yikes!)

Your friend always,
Jav ❤

I thought it would be best to post this here as I don't want to clog up anyone else's thread with something that no one but you would understand.
It has taken me most of the day to recover from your kind gesture. You seem to always find that one thing, that one tiny piece of me, and reaching down into my soul, you pull it out of the darkness and bring it into the light. You are a true friend Lou, and I am humbled.

Thank you.

Your Friend,
Jav ❤

Lou, I just love your stories. They can make a movie or write a book about your adventures! ❤

LouSlips~

Sorry to exhume this a few months late. Your recollection of these events was incredible. I am so sorry such a malevolent being had the nerve to bother your family, and especially your daughter. Though I am not a parent, I would have went bat$hit on that shadowy turdmaster! I am so glad you let him have it and that you brought in that team of experts. You must have been chilled to the core upon learning the history of the previous tenants and the similar name in which your daughter referred to the entity. I really hope this thing has left your family alone and I wish you all the best in the future.

Warmest Wishes,
PrettyInPain 😊

OK Lou! We're calling you out! Time for another installment darlin', we're dyin' out here! We've been very patient but the time has come to fill in the blanks.

You know I'm just bustin' your chops, right?

Jav ❤

MandyyNicole, I just saw my name come up so I hope you do not mind if I respond... 😉 If you want me to shut up just say so and I will.

In my personal opinion, no one gets chosen per-say. I think, as you said, everyone has the ability to sense and see things beyond the world/reality we know and are familiar with. I do think it is different for everyone, however, because everyone seems to have their own perception of things. I cannot say that I have ever seen an orb or a shadow entity in person, but others have. I have seen appiritons and animal spirits, and some others have not. Some people have never seen a spiritual entity in their life, and others seem to see them every day. I guess it really is like a 6th sense... Like vision, it tends to worsen or improve with age, and sometimes it disappears altogether. Some people can go their whole lives without ever experiencing anything weird and then all of a sudden, one day something happens. I really do not know why it is that way, but I am not sure that there is a method to the madness. I wonder if in the future we will discover a way to measure our 6th sense? We can measure our percentage of hearing and vision, maybe one day we can measure our percentage of psychic awareness...?

I really love your stories (glad your son's okay, btw, I had strep recently, it's horrible!) and admire all the comments of Javelina, Zzsgranny, DeviousAngel etc. And I was hoping to get some questions answered if ya'll have the time! Also I'm sorry in advance because this will be long😳
Why is it, do you think, that some people -like you- can see and hear things that others cannot? Have you always been able to see things like that, without choice, or do you think spirits CHOOSE who they want to see them and it has nothing to do with having a "gift"? I believe everyone has the ability and that it lies somewhere in the back of your mind...I've had mild experiences, but never to that extreme and, I sometimes wonder if I hold myself back from seeing them because I KNOW it would freak me out yet, at the same time, I think it would be neat, especially to be able to help... Do you think that it's possible we hold ourselves back from witnessing these things?
I've had more psychic experiences (that I've posted on the psychic website lol) than ghosts though, so I'm just curious as to...why, I guess? I would think the two would go hand in hand? I suppose I'm looking for what your opinions on these things are because...well, everyone else I talk to would think I'm a nut!

Jav,
Got it... You can take it down now if you wish.

Thanks,
Lou

Jav,
Sorry darlin', I missed it. I saw it posted in your profile for a little bit, but I did not write it down.

: (Lou

Hi Lou, I think I understand what you mean about the humming. You know it was the woman but it didn't sound like it was coming directly from her mouth. Almost like it was surround sound. To put it in a more modern way. LOL! I can't imgaine waking up to see a tall man standing behind the curtain in my hotel room. I think I would have ran out of there screaming my head off. 😨 Glad you're back Lou, can't wait to read the next installment. 😊

I have a friend from home that I grew up with (don't even think it) who's been a favorite Pastor for a lot of us. I believe he goes to that convention also, Lou.

Jav

Lou!
After all that, 600 people talking in tongues... Holy Ghost in the rafters, and the humming spooked you? 😆

Jav

Email me if you want Lou, You can't scare me!

Jav,
Uh-oh, now we are stuck. The most significant thing that happened is something I am not sure I would not feel comfortable talking about in its entirety here. Familiar with people praying in the Holy Ghost? Yeah, seemed pretty far-fetched to me too... Until I was in a room full of six hundred people all talking in tongues...sigh.

Lou

Lou,
This sounds like it's here for, or in need of you. Did anything happen at the conference, I mean besides your shaky squatter from the hotel?

Jav

Lou,
So who are you thinking this is? What does it have to do with you I wonder?

Jav

Jav,
I immediately assumed it was coming from her, but again it was too loud to be coming from her. Also, from that distance, I am sure I would have pinpointed the direction it was coming from.
By loud, I do not mean a deafening roar... It was just clearly audible to me, but no one else noticed. My son was sitting 3 feet away from me and did not hear it, even when he was trying. It sounded like it was generated from right near me, but again no direction, as in over my shoulder or in one ear, etc.

Lou

Lou,
Well, I wasn't thinking choir so much as single angelic voice. Because of the strength of the humming. Humming isn't something that I would think could rise much in volume, considering it is done with the mouth closed. I'm sure there are folks out there that can probably disprove my assumption though, loud mouths that they are...
And because no one else showed any sign they were aware of it, you really can't even attribute it to hospital acoustics either.
And it wasn't coming from the room where the middle aged woman was?
Or was it?

Jav

Jav,
It is kind of funny you mentioned angelic. It in no way sounded like some grand choir... But I was one day back from the convention and was talking about it with my son when this all happened.
He is doing alright, his strep test was negative but they say it could have been inaccurate and gave him some antibiotics which seem to have finally taken affect, four days later.
My son is 18 and he is a really good kid. He has not embrace our beliefs with regards to Christianity, but I think he will eventually. He is off to college in a few weeks... God help us all.:)

Lou

Lou,
Read the book, never saw the 'movie', will check it out though. My daughter stands 5'11" in stocking feet, so her short to medium height description could be anywhere from 5' to 5'6".
The loudness of the tune you heard being hummed is something to think about. Especially because it made such an impression on you, of all people. I'd like to mull this one over for a while, it's interesting that you didn't recognize it either. Could go to the age of the tune or the nationality of the person humming it.
Maybe Angelic? Because of the strength of the voice? Add that to you being the only witness...hmmm. Yeah, I would like to think this over for a while. I don't know why, it's not like I would know any answers to what was going on, and I'm no psychic. I just like to see if anything comes into my head.
Lou? Was that all? You didn't notice anything else that may have seemed out of place or time?
How did your sons visit go? Is he fine now?

Thanks for the puzzle Lou, you know I can't resist them.

Peace
Jav

lou how could you?
Have been waiting so quietly for the next part and your still not ready with it?
How can you keep us hanging on like that!
Its nasty 😭
Need to know how this ends!
But then what will I do for a fantastic story fix?!?
Ok will sit back, chill out and keep waiting, don't want to rush you.
Carl

Really? Yeah I just wish we could comment on those stories. I have read some really good ones

red - same site. And you're right. I hated it when they only updated about every 4 or 5 months. But I do like reading the different stories on there and sometimes I see stories on there that are on here LOL

what Shadowlands site are you talking about? The one that I go to to read stuff hasn't had anything new since 6/1. Which is better than previously only updating it every 4 months or so.

I'm good, Lou. Took some time off work (10 whole days!), worked my *ss off (No! Don't look behind me 😆), did some drywall work, sanded until I looked like Gandalf, then painted. All in all, I had a great time 😉. Can't say I had any paranormal experiences while I was off though, but I was so completely worn out I wouldn't have known if the ones living with me jumped up and down in my bed.

Sounds like you and your wife were invading someone's space, though, huh? Hey, for kicks and giggles, have you looked it up on The Shadowlands site to see if anyone else has had an experience there?

Jav,
Cool, nice description! Have you seen the Pixar/Disney movie "Horton Hears a Who"?...your description makes me think of the head of the Wickersham ape family! I cannot remember what she was humming... I was just amazed that the volume of it was not detected by anyone else... There were probably twenty people there and no one seemed to notice.

Miracles,
Not a lot to say about the guy at the hotel, Darlin'. He seemed fairly annoyed that we were there and stood in the corner, behind the blinds, next to the window. He was very tall. I woke up twice to him looking at us, his head poked out from behind the floor to ceiling curtains... I don't think he got into the bed, but something made it shake... More like vibrate (no, not that kind of an establishment!) for 30 seconds or so.

How you doin'?;)

Lou

Lou - you going to submit your story about the uninvited hotel room guest? I'm not so sure I'd want someone sleeping in my bed, especially if they weren't paying their share 😆. Unless, of course, they were invited 😉

Lou,
Whoa! You do sound a bit bothered about the tune she was humming, did it get stuck in your head or did you lose it and now it's driving you nuts?
Here's one for you. My youngest daughter was doing laundry late at night (too humid now to do wet work during the day) and had the basket full of wet towels to take out to the garage, where the dryer is. Realizes she needs the key, sets the basket on a stool in the kitchen, turns back toward the hallway, takes a couple of steps and from the back end of the hall leading to the bedrooms comes this short to medium height, fat, shadow on the wall, taking long strides and swinging it's arms as it cruised toward her direction, passed her and just faded into the darkness of the front hall.
I've never seen it, but she sees much more than I do anyway.

Jav

Jav,
Do I know?...c'mon...who ya' talking to here?;P

Had a good one the other day... I took our oldest boy to get checked out at the ER on Sunday. Nothing serious but his younger brother had contracted strep throat a few weeks back, and he was exibiting the same symptoms and we did not want to wait until Monday to get him to his regular doctor. While we were waiting, my son had chosen a spot for us at the far end of the waiting room where you could see down a hall that had a room of some kind at the end and the door to th room was open. We were sitting there talking and suddenly I could hear a woman humming very loudly. I do not know the song but she was going on bar after bar verse after verse for about 45 seconds. In the mean time a middle aged woman in a nurses/technicians uniform walked past the doorway inside that room at the end of the hall four times. She was solid as a rock and moved normally. I asked my son about whether or not he could see her, and he could not... I could accept that, but what got me was the humming, though. It was LOUD to me, and try as he did, my son never heard it.

Just Lou

Lou,
Yep! That sounds about right. The older the area, the larger the spirit population. Phoenix has been around for a long time, but not like my little podunk corner of Arizona. We still have Geronimo sightings (kidding) But we do have some ancient inhabitants. And with all the fuss going on near the border here, I believe it has woken a few up that weren't in the mood for it. Sometimes you can just feel it in the air, you know?

Jav

Jav,
Hey, if nothing else you can combine two interests... It is a pretty old city, for out west anyways. Had a visitor in our hotel room while we were there that did not pay his share of the bill... My wife did not see him, but we were both awakened by the bed shaking one night.

Lou

Lou,
It's been awhile since I've had any real involvement. It's about time to get back to it though,. My volunteer work takes a lot of my extra time, but it would be nice to get out of town now and then. I think I forget that there's a whole big world out there.

Jav 😊

Jav,
Yep, I have only gone there for the past two years, but I think they have had it there for almost 30!
This year the turnout was around 10, 000 people from forty-something countries. We did not bring them, but there are activities for kids and teens as well.

Lou

Lou,
Sounds like it's just my speed. And that temp sure isn't anything new. Besides, I love Texas. Do they hold the conference there every year?

Jav

Lou, my computer's so old, it's powered by hamsters and their little wheels! LOL 😆

Jav,
As much as I like my hogs smoked, I am happy for you and all who resided there.
The convention was enjoyable... Runs from July 2-7 next year... You can come to Texas and cool off... It never got above 110 degrees.

Lou

Granny, did you sit on your sewing basket again?

Personally, I think we should all have computers powered by treadmills... Right next to our closet with our superhero ensembles... Of course.

Lou

Lou,
That's good to hear. But it won't keep me from trying! I'm a sucker for a good mystery. Hey, I forgot to tell you, the fires are out down here. Finally 😊 No more smoke.

Jav

Lou, we're sittin' on pins and needles here! 😆...Oh, maybe that's because I sit in front of the computer so long 😆...Anyway, can't wait!

Jav,
I know... I started writing a couple weeks ago and haven't gone back to it since... I will do my best. I hope the ending does not disappoint... I don't think EVEN YOU, could guess it.;)

Lou

Sounds like fun to me, Lou. Now, c'mon pal, when are we going to see the next installment?
I am going to have to go back and reread a few passages, just to see if I can guess what's next. It's one of the things I love about this story, the anticipation...

Jav

SMC,
Downtown...stayed at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel and hung out for the week at the convention center for the Southwest Believers Convention... My version of fun, I guess.

Lou

Hey Lou,
You always know, don't you? I was walking away and something made me turn back around.
How do you do that?

Thank you friend,
Jav

My tail? No dress could cover this tail. Besides, that job's been taken.

Where about in Fort Worth, Lou? Thats my stomping grounds! Could've passed you and I'd have no idea. 😆

Hey, Jav.
Went to be with the Lord for a week... Who knew he hung out in Fort Worth?
Yeah...I figured it would be your old "friend's" style to wait three weeks and then try to fly under the radar and get in the last word.
New sundress, huh? Does it cover your tail?

Lou

Matt,
I was going to start my response to your diatribe, which I just read for the first time, moments ago, with "What bothers me the most..." But to be honest with you, everything you say and do irritates me equally.
Let's start with the basics. Why have you changed your screen name so many times? The one time we all are sure about was to be misleading and victimize someone we all respect. Strike one, two, and three.
Quite frankly, I think your "Pure" is PURE horses--t. Whether you've truly developed this into an experience you really believe in; or whether you need this persona or alleged expertise to make you feel better about who you are, I don't know and could care less. Your claim that your succubus has made your wife lose her sexual interest...sorry, dude but that's possibly a hormonal imbalance, but more than likely it is just you. Spend the rest of your life believing what you want, but your wife's decision isn't supernatural.
Your more distant past posts made it easy to peg you for what you are. You proved your true colors a couple of months ago... And any credibility you had managed to fabricate on your area of expertise went out the window with your multiple online personality disorder.
I try to love all of God's children. I do not condone your actions and I will not help perpetuate your deceit. And if you think my God is some debatable imaginary entity comparable to your "Pure"; so be it. You don't have to believe in him, he believes in you... And that is all you will ever need to know until you choose to turn to him; or find out too late that you should have.

Regardless of your actions, you are in my prayers.

Lou

Would you look at that? Take a few days off and look what happens. It's a good thing I brought my waders today. What a mess!
Hey Lou, just dropped by say "Hello!" and I find this nonsense left at your door. Probably some wayward vandal. Could make for some good target practice I guess. No, too slimy.
Oh well, see soon old friend.

Javelina

~~PS Got a new sun dress... 😉 ~~

Louslips, I was going to leave this comment of yours alone without a response, but the last bit needs to be addressed, as you have implied that I am some sort of sexual predator, surfing this site, looking for underage girls in order that I might get them off by myself where I can get them to talk dirty with me in private.

That is NOT what I was about here, and it couldn't be farther from the truth.

Let me break it down, point by point.

"or are we still one-handed"

This would infer that I get some sort of sexual charge out of talking about this subject. I do not, and at the risk of running a little TMI by you, Pure gives me all of the sexual gratification I could want or imagine and more. And after 8 years of her constant attention, I have found that I no longer have any desire or any other kinds of sexual feelings for Human Beings, female, male, old or young. When it comes to sex, all of my desire and energy is focused on Pure.

"trolling for innocent waifs"

That is incorrect. None of the female members of the forum are underage, and in fact the only underage members we have are the occasional teenage boy who shows up, gets admitted, and then gets kicked right back out for lurking, as per our low-tolerance for lurkers policy. The youngest female member on the forum is in her twenties, with the average age of the female members being somewhere around thirty. We have quite a few women in their forties, and a few in their fifties. There is about a 50/50 gender split on the forum, with about as many men as women, and the average age of the men is a bit younger, with only one or two of us in our fifties, while the rest are in their twenties or thirties. There are no "innocent waifs" on the forum, nor am I in contact with any at present by email (I say "at present" because over the past five years, I have had several teenage girls contact me in order to get help getting rid of a Sex Being. I told them what I tell everyone else--that the only way I know of that works is to completely ignore them--and I am gratified that in all but one case it worked. And then by my suggestion--part of ignoring them is not talking about them or with people who are associated with Sex Beings-- the girls broke off contact with me).

"victimized by sexual demons that you need them to embrace"

That's complete bull***t and you know it. Anyone who has ever followed my actions on YGS knows that I never urge anyone to embrace this if they don't like it. I have run onto a few people who have felt ambivalent about it (they liked it, but were afraid of what people might think, or how they felt about it in light of what they thought people might think), and in those cases I have tried to present an alternate point of view that isn't based on Biblical dogma or fear based on myth. I have not tried to sway anyone who was "victimized" or didn't like it, and have instead tried to provide a means that to my knowledge is the only way to successfully get rid of a Sex Being.

If the person feels victimized, I have always tried to help them break free of the situation before it becomes too hard. If they have felt ambivalent, I have tried to introduce the idea that what everyone has or will tell them is based on hearsay, and that it might not be a bad idea to look at it objectively without all of the clamor and see how they really feel. And if the person has said that they liked it, then I have let them know where hey can go where they can talk about this thing in a more tolerant atmosphere, where they can talk in greater detail without worrying about getting too graphic on a site where kids can go.

"so you can talk more "graphically" with them"

No, I am not trying to get them to talk more graphically, but it's awfully hard to describe what's happening to those of us that this happens to without getting into detail. And as so may YGS members have made it so very clear here, talking about this in anything but the most abstract terms brings down a storm of complaints in the comments section.

You wouldn't believe the sense of isolation that takes place when this happens to a person, and one discovers that they have this huge thing happening and dare not speak of it to anyone. I went through three years of not being able to talk about it, and it made me feel as though I were on the outside of the world all by myself, looking in. Now that the forum exists, there is a place where people who go through this can talk about it, and nobody has to feel like that again. As long as they can find their way there, they will find a thriving community of like-minded people (at least on this issue) to share with and who won't make them feel like a perverted freak.

"on your personal blog".

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The forum has over 600 members, of which some 150 are active members. Although I started it and still have the final say regarding forum policy, I have 4 co-admins (three women and a man) and one moderator (a man), and so it's very much a community thing, and it belongs to al of us. And for what it's worth, even if I were twisted enough to want to corral young "waifs" in order to talk dirty with them, there's no way that the other forum members would put up with it.

So, basically you are full of s**t, Lou. Being full of s**t is not a crime, and I wouldn't even bother to reply, but when you being full of s**t includes a comment like yours below, where you paint me in public as some sort of predator, surfing this site for young girls to separate from the herd so that I can get some kind of sexual charge by talking dirty with them, then you cross well over a line, and you need to be set straight.

Are we straight?

"You" works for me.

Have a good weekend, friend.

Love ya'
Lou

Lou,
And if you threw a party,
Invited everyone you knew
You would see
The biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would read,
Thank you for being a friend!

Jav

PS~It may sound corny, but that's me.

Succubussed,
For someone who has buried the hatchet; you sure were johnny-on-the-spot with a response. FYI... Most people who are subjected to a stalker, whether it be in person or over the web, tend to be a little paranoid... It is understandable... No matter what you scrape the bottom of your shoe on, it never completely comes off.
So since you still refuse to comment on any stories outside your subject of interest; I see it is very likely that you are responsible for what you have been accused of... Even when your clothes still smell like gasoline, you just can't resist catching a glimpse of the flames, eh?
Oh, or are we still one-handed trolling for innocent waifs victimized by sexual demons that you need them to embrace, so you can talk more "graphically" with them on your personal blog when Mrs. Matt isn't looking?

"When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out the door
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here"

Javelina, you are being paranoid. I assure you that any problems that you are having with your email or otherwise have nothing to do with me.

I buried the hatchet and am not acting in any way to harm you or your friends or anyone on this site.

You need to find another bogeyman, because your problems have nothing to do with me.

Lou,
I've tracked back on some problems I've been having with my email and other things. And I'm going to say it here because I know you'd be interested in hearing this.
Apparently my problems with Succi/Matt have not ended, and I believe the problem that taz is now experiencing stems back to that big dust up. I won't go through the the how's and I don't think the why's are necessary. But anyone reading this that still has any contact with him better be real careful, and just stay the hell away from me.
Sorry I used your thread Lou, I hope you don't mind.

Jav

Jav,
Actually, in the event of a fire, you should get under it.
I called in a favor for you... The winds should be dying down soon.

Lou

Lou,
That would be fine, but I find myself having to use it as a B.S. Blankie too. So it's a double-duty blanket for now and I'll just have to get over it, huh?

Jav

Well,
If I had to endure a forest fire, I'd stick close to a wet blanket...

Lou

Lou,
Just moanin' and complainin' at the stupid smoke from these fires. And really I haven't got it half as bad as baccha does, she's in Albuquerque and I'm in Tucson. So sorry for the sobbing, just feeling sorry for myself until I found someone worse off than me. But thanks for the come-back, it's appreciated.

Jav

Jav,
I've always got room for you... Tell me what you need and it is yours.

Lou

Lou, Do you happen to have any room on those big shoulders for a crazy old asthmatic lost in the smoke?

Jav

Utterly incredible! A great description of your experiences, and truly terrifying. I admire your conviction in telling 'Hank' to [at] #&* off, and leave your daughter alone. That must have been brave, but also the right thing to do.
I must confess a slight feeling of lol at the Soup Nazi comments, I am the UK's biggest Seinfeld fan! (perhaps)

Sorry guys!
I'll take the blame for bringing out the Soup Nazi, but wouldn't you rather find out in the context of the story? I'm enjoying the hell out of this mystery and I just don't want to know until the rest of the story comes out. And yes, I'm the one kid in my family who didn't sneak into my Xmas presents early. So that is who you're dealing with, old wet blanket me. He he he!

Jav

Lou: Ornery, not angry. LOL. Today is rambunctious for me (in case you couldn't tell), so I'm hopping from here to there, thither and yon while I can. My apologies if I trounced you too rough! Will try to maintain my composure and patience, just for you! E-hugs for your recovery!

Ah, dragonwalker,

"With love and patience, nothing is impossible."--
Daisaku Ideda

I would rather you be angry than mislead...sorry, I'm still decompressing from my last submission. I will begin soon, and if you promise to maintain your composure.

Lou

Lou, love you as I do, you're torturing me here! I might have to get ornery. Pretty please tell me you've written and submitted the next piece of this saga so that my curiosity might be assauged!

DA,
FIRST...you respectfully disagree with Jav and I on another story, NOW THIS...Dr. Lou is going to be tweeking your meds if this behavior continues!

Thanks for commenting again...yeah, my daughter has had some other experiences...don't know where she would get that from... She is seven now and her speech has come a long way, as well.

:) Lou

And sorry, I just realized that I DID comment yesterday, so... Ignore me! Thanks! *takes her anti-crazy pill for the day*

Hi Dr. Lou,

Sorry I didn't get to comment when I read this story yesterday, I doubt my boss would find your story as interesting as I do.;)

This is an excellent retelling of your experience. I love the outstanding validation here, when you discovered the man's true name and how it matched your daughter's pronunciation (or nickname?). It's really scary to think what might be out there, spooking or appearing to our loved ones. Your daughter sounds like a pretty cool kid, and I can just imagine that you are probably going to have your hands full with her (spiritually) as she gets older. I'd be willing to bet my lunch money that she's going to be sensitive to these things in the future, too.

Thanks for sharing,
Devious

Darkness,
Thank you. What he was drawing on that night, I do not know... As you will see, he was not a nice man and didn't get any better after life... He did not manifest completely for anyone other than the time I saw him at the bottom of the stairs... But to some degree, that was his game...he'd let you know when he was around, but it was the head games he put on people that showed his true colors and was his preferred method of manipulation.

Yeah, that Javelina is a real wet blanket...can't get anything past her.

Lou

Miracles,
The woman who saw the hooded figure... How should I say this... Is extremely sensitive. You could talk to her on the phone and she could tell you what you were doing while talking to her. You can describe an incident to her... After seeing Jacob for the first time, at the bottom of the stairs in our business, the team leader asked me to talk to this other woman on the phone. I began describing the incident and after getting to the part where he walked through she said, "What is that in his hand, a pie plate?" What she was referencing was the collapsed top hat he had under his arm. The thing is, I hadn't mentioned it yet,...freaked me out, she was seeing what I was thinking.
So, when she sees something and says it is paranormal... I have a tendency to believe her.

Glad you are feeling better. Can't get by without my daily Miracle.

Lou

Lou once again loved it mate! You certainly know how to keep people on the edge of there seat, as Granny mentioned you should definitely write a book. I was fascinated by your description of him trying to manifest even though he didn't succeed that night, I wonder what he was drawing on to be able to manifest that little bit?
I like your choice of words you used when you found out that he has shown himself to your daughter I would have done the exact same thing, bit eerie of the words she spoke that must have been a chilling situation.
I have a couple of questions to ask you aswell but as you have already stated "No Soup" I personally blame Javelina for that one lol 😆 😁 Cant wait for the next one buddy well done! 😊

Lou - this is what I get for being late to dinner 😆. All the questions have been asked and the comments commented LOL.

I do have one thing though 😉. Of course, huh? Wonder what made the one investigator automatically assume that the very large hooded man slipping into the brush behind your building was paranormal? I understand why she assumed it later when he showed up in her driveway, but why did she assume it at your place? I realize this is a question you probably have no way of answering, so I don't expect you to. It's just one of those things that make me go "umm...why didn't she think you might have a living intruder?" Anyway 😆 looking forward to reading the next one, Lou. And I'm going to try not to be a day late and a dollar short.

Aw, Lou - I just saw your comment ❤. Thanks for worrying about me. I was getting ready to read your story (haven't had time to read it yet, I'm so sorry) and was scanning the comments and saw that one. Had to respond.

I had a horrible nightmare the other night and had a hard time shaking it. I didn't want my emotions to filter over onto this site, so I've stayed away until I thought I could put that aside. Now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and see what I've missed. Starting with this story.

Thanks for worrying about me. ❤

Andrew Lloyd Webber, we're not! I take it your round house kick might look more like an innebriated ballerina attempting a pirohuette (sp)? LOL. Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, sashimi and Unagi are about the extent of my "Oriental" words. Woefully inadequate!

dragonwalker,

No kiddin'...I know karate, and four other oriental words. Got a black belt and shoes to match.

Knowing my luck, I'd show up to kick -ss and they'd think it was an off-Broadway rendition of Cats.

Lou

Lou: Am trying not to laugh too loudly.
I will save some old face paints just for you! And jug of gasoline for the burning of the bird shape. Also, will you be redeeming those who can be saved and condemning the baddies? I could get down with that!

Well,
If I do go toes up anytime soon, I'm coming back as Brandon Lee... And gettin' my crow on.

I used to hold wild, rabid curiosity against somebodies... But then I got married and had to quit.

Lou

PS, putting on your socks could be a life changing event... You might suddenly receive enlightenment from the universe... Such as, "TGIF no longer just stands for Thank Goodness It's Friday. Now it also means, Toes Go In First!" So don't knock mowing the lawn. 😆 Mowing is good thinking time. You walk your immediate property boundaries.

Lou: LOLOLOL! To quote the baby chicken hawk in Foghorn Leghorn, "I don't care who wins! I'll fricasee the loser!"

Whatever it is, I hope you get it figured out soon. LOL. I'd hate to find out that you went toes up in a couple of weeks. On the other hand... Sometimes Ravens are just contrary pains in the buttocks, and do things like that to drive us nuts and laugh at us later. I think someone made that up just to feel better about getting all over excited about having ravens hanging around. LOL. Blame the bird, not your over-active imagination!
Have you asked your Eagle what the fu<k yet?

And I would hope you wouldn't hold wild, rabid curiousity against a body. There's too much to know!

lou will have to drop that then can not afford court costs lol

2 more you say? Will keep holding on to seat for now then 😁
Carl

dragonwalker,
Chickenhawk ravens, huh? I'll have to watch out for those. I'm currently not dead, or rotting and no bald spot, so that rules out the shiny. I absolutely agree they serve a purpose, they do an awesome job cleaning up the roadsides.

1. No, my birthday is in March
2. I'm pretty open to opportunities and always reserve the right to get smarter by the days end
3. My totem animal is an eagle... Not really a friend to the raven...I'm not going to be doing a Tippy Hedron anytime soon, am I?
Personal Note...yeah, something is UP, just need to figure it out.

They do seem to just "show up". Unless, mowing the lawn is going to become a life changing event...?

I've never held "wildly curious" against anyone...wait, let me rephrase that...:P

Lou

Lou - Funny enough, my coworker just got done telling me that ravens massacered her dad's 8 chickens last night and only 2 survived. My co-worker and her sister call ravens "soul chickens" because of how they move their heads. LOL.
On a slightly (very slightly) more serious note: Where Ravens and I are concerned, they are NOT harbingers of doom. In my ONE case where they were lined up like funeral mourners, they weren't telling me anything I didn't already suspect. It was more like they were paying their respects, showing support, etc. From my POV, they represent the unknown, knowledge, curiousity, the "Great Void" (which can give or take away, or that needs to be filled), creation, and "universal" harmony. They eat rotting dead things, they like shiny things, they eat thrown out food. They're like the ultimate recycler that has adapted through the ages. We don't necessarily have war like we did in the way WAY back when, so rather than rotting human bodies, they feed on our garbage.
You have a couple of options.
1. If your birthday falls between September 22 and October 22, you might have been born with the Raven as your "birth sign".
2. Your life is surrounded with MANY learning opportunities, new things to discover. It seems as though you are constantly learning new things. As the Raven can represent knowledge, it could be that you are being reminded to be open to the possibilities.
3. (which strikes me as more what the issue is) The Raven has sought you out to guide you. From one of the websites I looked at, it said that when it comes to Totem animals, you don't choose the Raven. The Raven chooses you.
Please note: not claiming expertise here. These are simply my opinions/thoughts/feelings from what I have gathered that struck a chord with me. Will be happy to share the website links that have shown me that information.
On a more personal note: If you're the only one who notices the Raven at first, and no one else is paying attention until you point it out, that would be the first clue to me that something is UP!
Do the Ravens just randomly show up? Or if you think about it, are they connected to certain experiences in your life that have formed and molded you, or shown you new things, or have helped you create, or revealed questions and mysteries? (Something besides, "Why the fu<k is the wildlife stalking me?!")

Anyway, please, do share further stories! Am wildly curious now! Almost rabid!

dragonwalker,
Just the gal I wanted to mention this to...I've got a raven problem, too. When I do work outside my building, it shows up probably 60-70% of the time and perches close by, in noticeably weird locations... Like the railing of our handicap entrance ramp, or the top of my truck... Other people see him when I point him out, so he is real. But nobody notices him when I'm not there. I don't see him/them anywhere else that they pay particular interest to me, just this one... Any theories?
Its been going on for about two years... No kidding.

Lou

Soup Nazi, the best soup takes time, but when it's done, all the flavors meld into one fantastic bowl of yummy!...I can wait, but that's not go'nna stop my mouth from watering 😆

ZZ, if I could hug you, I would. Those are the things I have a burning need to understand! Sorry if we pulled "spoilers" on you Lou! This is all so intriguing!

Granny,
I know you remember my story... Not sad about that...

Many good questions...but, since Jav won't let me spill the beans... With regards to the answers...

No soup for you!

Anybody checked on Marjie lately? I'm worried about her... Tell her I said so.;)

Love you too, Granny

Lou, don't be sad, I remember "The Hunt"...It's the mystery of how it all culminated, the "why" factor... A couple of the questions in my mind are: why did he perform this ceremony, and what exactly did the little girl have to do with it (was she a necessary "tool"), and were Jed and James and their family haunted by this creep?...And if so, did creepy boy have anything to do with James' death, and preventing Jed from being able to reach him?...

Love ya, Lou!

❤

Granny,
It should not be too big of a mystery... You read The Hunt...: (

Lou

LOU!,
Don't you dare give up any more information before we get the next part of the story! I was holding back my curiosity about her, and trying to be patient.
Grrrrrrr...

Jav

DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNNN! 😆...Eeeewwwww...The plot thickens...Wow, okay then I'm really sitting on pins and needles now...

It's nice to know this turd finally got what was coming to him...I'm sure it was a long, painful ride...

Like Jave, my stomach flip-flops at the mention of him... Looking forward to the next installment! 😊

Hi, Granny.

No, his name was not Native American at the time of the incident in the newspaper article. Nor was his "mother", his real mother. I promise to start working on my next submission, it will clear up a lot.

The land the business sits on was his "mother's" farm and farmhouse. The land our residence sits on was part of the farm. The business building was built in 1820... Our house was built in 1986 on land that was part of the original farm. His connection to our land lies in what he buried beneath it...

Lou

These stories leave me feeling all conflicted lol. Good reading, so I dread the last story. On the other hand, I can't wait for the last story when this guy gets what he has coming.
The thing about these stories I hate? That it's real. This sort of thing should not happen. If this were all in a movie it would be great. But knowing it all actually happened, chilling.

Jav,
The time I saw him fully manifested as a solid being, was the only time he appeared that way to anyone, that I am aware of. Which leads me to believe that he put every effort he could muster into having the effect he did with me that night. Over time, I attempted several times to try to find out what my daughter experienced... But it is very difficult for her to revisit anything, and even more so when it is something unpleasant.
For your sake, I will ruin my future stories and let you know that he is now gone for good. I know that this one twisted you up a bit... It does not make the truth any less disturbing, but for my daughter, it is over.
Several members of our family, our staff, and the paranormal team had to fight their own personal battles to put Jacob in his place. As intimidating as his physical presence was, his ability to manipulate others mentally, both human and spirits, was tenfold as powerful...
Evil doesn't lie in a physical realm... You can only kill somebody once. A broken spirit, before and/or after death, is much more painful to endure.

Lou

Lou: Well, I was pi$$ed when he was messing with your daughter, so I can just imagine how you felt ❤...I'm still looking for the link between the two properties, besides the obvious one, his mother being the deed owner... I wonder if he lived in your business, and his parents lived in your home?...Or did I already ask that? LMAO!...

In your last account, you went to the cemetery and found the little boy and his Dad... Is Hank the Tank one of those buried there?...Jacob McIntire isn't your average, run-of-the-mill name for a Native, specially from that era, unless the bloodline was on his mother's side...

I believe there was a discussion a while ago about the abilities of autistic children to see beyond the veil... Something that I find extremely intreguing...

Thank you for posting and I will need to re-read the entire saga, maybe put together some more clues... You should write a book Sir! 😆 ❤

Lou.
The whole scene with him standing there almost manifesting, but not quite, is really creepy. How you just watched without making a move, that is freaking me out every time I think about it because the two visions I have stuck in my head now are the one where he's walking through the first floor of your business with you watching from above, and now this one. I'm trying to figure out why he didn't fully manifest at your home and all I can come up with is, maybe he couldn't?

Jav

Taz,
A new bs blankey... You better check with 510 mot on copywrite infringement. I keep thinking I can finish this up with one mory story, but every time I get to that point, I remember something else worth sharing and... (sigh) I guess it will be at least two more. Looking back, we lived this for the better part of a year, so I guess there is too much I would have to leave out to get it into one.

Jav,
I know... Thank you... You know where to find me. I hope a good night's rest helped.

Lou

lou throwing b~s blanky here!
That is a huge brill and scary! Loved it lou 😁

You have had so much happen but that's amazing! And like any parent standing up to "tank" to protect your daughter bless you, obvious thing for a parent but wow

I can't say enough I though this was fantastic bowing down in respect to a great story, well writen, and had me gripped with the title alone.

Faved again!
Carl
How much more left?
