Comments for And They Came: Page 4

Miracles,

You can probably get a group discount.

Where is the bar of soap, in proximity to you when you sleep... At the foot of the bed, I presume?

Lou

Javelina - soap experiment still ongoing at home. I can safely say I don't believe I kicked it with my foot and broke it. Although who knows... I might have been having some crazy dreams and did some "Kung Fu Fighting" in my sleep 😆. Right now the bar under my sheet is still intact.

Lou - I'm pretty sure they're not the only ones who'd need therapy 😆. Although I do love Pat Benatar! Dalton probably wouldn't even bat an eyelash. He knows his mom his crazy 😉.

Miracles,

If these spirits ever get nasty or too much to handle there is a ceremony you can perform that is sure to do the trick. Bust out your best 80's hairdo and your leather pants, and in your best Pat Benatar imitation, sing:

"You're a soap breaker
Toddler escaper
Trailer shaker
Don't you mess around with me"

Repeat three times... Followed by "No, no, no"

Warning: Therapy may be required for any adolescents or teenagers who witness this ritual.

Lou

DARKNESS - because you've been MIA again 😆, but you're here and you found me! Nah, the soap for RLS didn't work for me, but I think it may have been because the soap wasn't there long enough?

As for a hairline fracture. That thought never crossed my mind. It might explain it, truthfully. It would had to have been a very jagged fracture, though. Without being able to draw a picture of it and load it on here, I can't describe it accurately. I did try to recreate that jagged cut one night last week when talking to granny. The soap is too soft for "living" person to have taken a sharp object and cut it. My soap sort of balled up and came of in pieces. Not shavings, but pieces.

As for my kids, thank you. That is why we are so open in our conversations. Dalton has learned who he can talk freely around in our family. We recently had an incident in our home and my nephews were there. He waited until they left before he said "Mom, it must have been our ghosts." I had to agree. It was such an obvious in your face thing and none of us had been anywhere around. Jerrica is in the "I don't want to hear anything about our ghosts, Mom" stage right now 😨. The night of the Super Moon, she came home around 11:30 or so and I caught on my DVR a male voice saying "Bout time" when she walked in the door 😆. Not angry, just matter of fact. I busted out laughing when I heard it. Jerrica didn't think it was as funny.

Dan, as always, thank you.

Ahh Miracles firstly how in the world did I miss this story geez. 😲 Wow the soap thing yeh I have never heard of that before that's out there I'm sorry I have not read through all the comments as yet but did it work?
Miracles your ghosties always seems to be very mild tempered friendly in a way, attention seekers really couldn't ask for something better, well in my opinion anyway.😊 Jerrica and Dalton do have your gift and I feel it will only get stronger with age and having you as a mother there for them they will be well equiped for what they are yet to experience in there lives.
The soap thing hmmm I really don't know maybe a hairline fracture in it before hand or you have hit it with your own leg, or a ghost snapped it in half. 😆 Very curious now!

Once again another great story Miracles love them.

right I'm off now until monday so I will catch you all then 😊 ❤ carl ❤ bye bye

javalina when you finished giving miracles oxygen I have to tell you it I'm forever smoking bubbles adult version of the kids favorite

Hey Miracles!
I read this before I fell asleep and I come back and find we still have no real explanation for the the soap breakage.
Although I do believe ole taz has been having some kind bubble party on the side there. There's bubbles everywhere! All I can make out are two blinking eyes and I have no idea what song it is he's singing, but he sure seems happy! 😆 😆 😆

OMG taz - I'm sitting here laughing very much out loud! Seriously, I'm choking here. Someone call 911! I can't breathe!

my comp is haunted it just did google search for soap lovers?! (no I had nothing to do with it honest)
Thankfuly got TV SOAP, HAND MADE SOAP. One for shaving foam soap lovers not going there at all

and I'm sure there will be "speical" sites for them too.
Somehow I doubt I will be googleing that one though

taz - it all depends upon how you look at it 😉. Might be some people who think soap isn't so strange after all 😆

thats sorted then 😊
So now when its up we can all look at broken bars of soap,
You know that still sounds strange!
Go figure!.! Lol

Vdub: LOL... The only link you shouldn't put in the comments is to your own website, as in advertising your site!...Id like to see it myself! 😆

Vdub - I think there have been links to photobucket on here before and it's not been a problem. I remember looking at several pictures, as a matter of fact, that were related to different stories.

you could contact martin and ask the worst thing that could happen is he say no

Not a problem. We will figure something out! Wait, I know we are not supposed to post links on here, but what if it is a link to say a photobucket thing. It is strictly official business. 😉

very good point there vdubtype1 it may never be proven to be anything but ghost activity but its going to be fun finding out that's for sure 😁

VdubType1 - I'm a little gunshy right now, I picked up a virus a few days ago. Not sure how I got it, but it was pretty bad. Hang onto the picture, okay? There might be a way to load it on here without sending it to my email. I am very interested in seeing the result of your experiment.

oops, I just reread a comment that I posted earlier, I meant to write *I can* not *I can't* 😆

There are so many variables to this situation that we may never be able to debunk this. It may have truly been a paranormal experience, but I like to look at every possibility before deciding one way or another. Its just as important to prove its true, than to prove it not true! 😉

omg I just thought I hope martin has read this or he might think people have lost it sending in pics of broken soap LMCO 😳

will give as much advice as possible but hun I aint sleeping with soap in the bed lol. Anyway the other half would more than likely chuck it out 😉

Miracles - If you want I can't send you the picture I took of the two pieces so you can compare the edges, I am interested as to how close my experiment was to your occurrence.

VdubType1 - that was another odd thing. No shavings of any kind. Just those freaking jagged cuts and one half the bar of soap in the middle of my bed under the sheet and the other half in the floor. I wish I'd been smart enough then to have taken pictures. You can bet I would now. (Sure, I say that😆, but I'd probably forget if the situation actually happened again.)

Taz - this is what I was hoping for 😆

hi vdubtype1 can see what your saying and that could be a possibility too.
I do think some soap bars will break and crumble like yours did but I recall the one I mentioned here just split in two pieces (no bits) what the make was I don't recall.
Miracles others are now doing there own experiments I do think someone will get your answer soon

Taz and Miracles - I don't mean like really soft, but if it starts to get softer on the outside then in the core, it might not just tear straight across. Also, was there any soap shavings or little pieces of soap next to the piece that was still under the covers? If there wasn't, it was not caused by the soap drying out because when a bar of soap is dry and you break it in half, a bunch of pieces go everywhere. If I could upload a picture I would. I just broke a piece of soap in half and it has little shavings all over the table where I broke it. However, I use old man dial bar soap, so maybe that has something to do with it.

twizzler - I've grown (with the help of my friends), and become more outspoken, in the 15 months I've been on this site. The first story I submitted, had I waited, would have been a little different. I've learned a lot since that one.

Thank you for your kind words and for reading my stories and commenting on this one. Feel free to drop in any time 😊

some very interesting comments on here of late saying that some interesting commentors too.
Must say I do like geeta50 and TheNathanNS, both got heads screwed on right and some very good points made too will have to watch them 2 with interest

Hi Miracles51031! 😊 I'm new to the site, but I've read all of your stories. I think I see a big change in you since your first account. You seem to be more open with sharing your experiences, now. Thanks for sharing so many, and I hope there are many more 😊

Sorry, taz, just saw your comment. I'm catching up on what I missed today while I was working 😆. I just told granny they'd have taken away my internet today if I'd been on here. I've been LOLing way loudly! Busted out laughing, as a matter of fact, over the comments on a couple of stories. 😉

miracles your time of day is middnight here I'm sat at work board silly yes I was up late today, only got 4 hours sleep was working last night when we were here last
Hope that helps oh and no your not having a blond moment this time anyway

taz, what am I doing seeing you on here at this time of my day? Am I having a blonde moment and don't know it? I am really mentally tired, completely whipped as a matter of fact, but still. 😆

Yeah, he was kind of freaked out. It was funny though.

look forward to seeing the pics.
Poor dalton how freeky would that be finding a strange lump in the bed bless 😆

geetha - oh yeah, I understand trying not to laugh at work. Sometimes I fail miserably and I answer the phones. Not a good combination at all 😆.

Trees? 😉 You know, there are days I'd take trees over people for sure. Especially in your line of work. I'm glad you have a positive outlook, though, and btw, welcome to YGS.😊

Cosmogal and taz - photos are a definite must. At the end of the two weeks I'll take pictures of the soap at that stage and see what it looks like then.

Gotta tell you what happened last night. 😆 Since my living room ceiling still isn't finished (long story), Dalton's room is still uninhabitable and he's sleeping with me (okay, like he didn't anyway 😆). All at once I hear him yell out "Mom! I think there's something under your sheet!" I sat here and laughed then told him I'd explain it to him later, it was okay and it was also bedtime. 😆 This was his first night with me since I put the soap under my sheet LOL.

[at] geetha50 thanks to be honest we are both quite mad live in small padded cells and high on meds most of the time lmao
I do actualy work in security 😲 but I follow my feeling formost oh and the little ideas guy that kicks in now and then.

[at] cosmogal good point there, need photos please miracles:)
We will solve this puzzle!

OMG so this has turned into the Great Ivory Soap Crusade. LOL 😆 I really like your theory Taz, as it does make a lot of sense. I'm so anxious to find out what happens. Miracles get that camera ready, you know we will need photos to document the results. 😊 ❤

OMG,
Taz and Miracles, you two are hilarious. You know you can make a whole chunk of money working together as comedy group. I'm at work trying not to laugh (which is really hard to do). Some of my co - workers are looking at me as if I'm mad or something.

Taz,
Are you a detective or do you work in law enforcement or something? I'm asking because your theory could very possibly work out. I want to see what the outcome is to. Miracles, keep us posted.

Miracles,
As a social worker, it's never easy. Many of the jobs with the City of Toronto are contract jobs that are constantly being renewed (as usually the government being cheap). The social worker position that I held was a contract position with the City was for a special project. Now that it's done, I'm working as a Support Assistant in the Urban Forestry office. I'm now taking calls about trees (how fun!). These two jobs are worlds apart but like you said being a social worker can be difficult and I'm glad for the change of pace. That's not to say I won't be back to do social work but I needed the break. Since I have started working as a social worker, the things I saw were heart breaking and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But the thing that keeps me going is that I helped one more person, that I was part of the action that makes this crappy world a better place to live in and at the end of the day, my conscience is clear.

In a way, I'm happy that I found a place like this where I don't have to put up a barrier around myself. (Something, I had to do in my line of work many times). I think I'm going to make some good friends here.

ok miracles chat on fb! Am sure will find something that's not loony to talk about ❤

taz - wow, the meds knocked me out like a light. Shew, good thing I got nothing better to do tonight 😆. I'll see you in my morning, okay?

yours too my dear sets off your complection a treat such a healthy glow and fitted too showing off them curves? Who you trying to impress?!?

Oh look here comes the meds ladys first
😆 😆 😆

taz - and I must say your pink straight jacket looks marvelous. It does wonderful things for your eyes 😉

know what you mean I still can't get past louslips message here (the last line) without laughing like a loony its more than funny.

And to who ever is reading this years from now please come visit us in the local psyc ward of the hospital we will all be wearing pink straight jackets thanks

You know what, taz? May someone will need a good laugh and they'll come across this and you've helped them out! I know there've been times when I've needed a pick me up and I see the comments and I just have to laugh (even when I should be working LOL).

ok I can feel the straps on my "nice white jacket" getting tighter as I write this...
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT YOUR SOAP!?!

All I can say is thankfuly people can scroll down and make sence of that 😆 😆 😉
Carl

taz - good theory, but I still think it'll just crack right across. I'll let you know what happens though.

oh forgot about the winter/summer bit 😲
Summer~ warm all day dry out quicker~ brittle
Winter~ cold will also effect the soap like if it had been in fridge and (like old cheese) would make it brittle too
I think I have solved this one for sure, I'm just too good 😆
Carl

taz - I'm trying the experiment as we speak. I'm going to keep this bar of soap under my sheet until May 18th. That'll be 2 weeks. So we shall see 😆. On May 19th, or thereabouts, I'll report the condition of the soap.

Thank you 😊

ok here is my idea on this, you say 2 weeks so for 2 week your sleeping with a bar of soap in your bed, body heat warming it nightly.
The sheets smell of the soap, I'm guessing the matress too yes?
So obvious its scary
Over 2 weeks in a warm inviroment without the protection of the wrapper (which is usualy plastic covered paper or box) the bar dried out slowly making it brittle, any kind of preasure on it would not snap it but cause a crack, you moving in sleep knocked one half out from under the sheet.

Now do you have anywhere you could leave a soap bar wrapped in an old towel or something got to be warm though for a few weeks and you will get same results

I sudenly thought of an old bar left in my partners parents home that his mum (sadly passed) had left in a face cloth been a week or so and that cracked when dropped into rubbish bag.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation.
I THANK YOU 😆 ❤
CARL

taz - darn. This was before I started keeping exact dates in my Journal. I honestly cannot tell you what season it was. I could guess, but I'm not going to do that because I could just as easily be wrong. Crap, I really wish I'd kept better records when I started my Journal. Oh well. I do now.

As for how long the soap was under the sheet. That one I do know. It was less than 2 weeks.

What's the idea rolling around in your head, taz? C'mon, share 😆

VdubType1 - thanks for the advice on RLS. I'll look into it if it gets to where I need something for it again. Right now it's very tolerable.

As for the soap. It wasn't soft, which actually would have made it much more difficult to create the jagged cuts I believe. Ivory soap, in my opinion, seems to almost melt away as it softens. And the soap wasn't touching my body, but it was between the sheet and mattress, so it could have gotten warm.

I did place a brand new bar of plain white Ivory soap (same kind) between my fitted sheet and mattress last night. I'm going to try this again and see what happens. I'll let you guys know if anything like the jagged cut occurs.

Lilady - I honestly didn't realize what I'd done until it was explained to me. Thank you for your kind words about the babies and thanks for reading and commenting on my story.

geetha50 - OMG, bless your heart. I don't know that I intentionally mean to make anyone cry, but thank you so much for your kind words. They are what make me glad I'm here.

I cannot imagine what you go through as a social worker. That's an occupation I could never handle. I admire you 😐

miracles this soap thing been bugging me all day.
Have given it a lot of thought, re read story and comments and have to be honest I'm stuck! 😕

Now I can dismiss some ideas here (not that it helps)
Badjuujuu> moving or hitting the soap would leave marks in it not just sheet lines but indents
Vdubtype1 warm soap would not snap in a jagged line again just have indent in it and leave a great big mess on the sheets

No wait little idea guy in head kicking me again,
Miracles was it winter or summer? Real cold or real hot weather? Before saying any more will need these questions answered oh and how many days after you put it in the bed was it found? I might just have the answer 😁 carl

Lou - I read your comment at work and busted out laughing. And I remembered that yesterday I promised myself I wasn't going to read anymore of your comments at work and that I deserved what I got 😆.

I'm glad you pointed out the upper body strength and that Dalton would have made a thump sound when he hit the floor. Not only that, he'd probably have screamed even louder 😆.

granny - haven't we had this conversation before 😆. Without y'all to support me and tell me I'm not crazy when I think I'm losing it, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I think of all the years I've lost by closing off my gifts and wonder where I'd be if I hadn't. But you know what? It just doesn't matter. I wouldn't have the friends I have now. And I wouldn't trade y'all for anything. You helped me grow. You help me grow every day by believing in me.

Thank you and I love you.

So I have two things for you miracles. For restless leg syndrome, go to your local pharmacy/walmart and pick up a bottle of iron pills. It is just an iron supplement, and it helps with rls.

And as for this bar of soap issue, I think I may have figured it out.

With the soap being under the covers and being close to your body, it gets warm and gets soft. If kicked with heel or ankle or even if it stuck to your leg and the sheet it might be possible that if you moved you could cause a jagged rip. Yes? No?

What a great story. I loved reading it. I want to say I'm sorry for the loss of your other children and I understand that you decided (unconsciously) to "block" out Spirit.
Spirits can still do really freaky stuff as described in your story. I actually didn't think ignoring or blocking out Spirit would work, haha; I guess your story just proved me wrong.
Love & Light, Rachel ❤

[at] louslips agree 100% spirits must use bathrooms the ones for public use in my home town must have been realy haunted I never thought it was the dead popping in but that does explain alot! My sence of smell has never realy recovered.
Thank for the~ 😆
Carl

hi miracles been there, done that, and not happy with what's writen on the tee shirt 🤔
Will have to see what your thoughts are before I complain to the store

Thanks for asking ❤
Carl

Miracles,
In support of your story, just like it is impossible to not recognize the sound of children running in a trailer, unless Dalton had unusual upper body strength for his age, he would have had to drop a good three and a half to four feet to exit the crib. Since you and your daughter were both focused on listening to him, you would not have missed that unmistakable thump either.
The commode...yeah, the manufacturer programs them to flush Sunday mornings...uh-huh, before you know it the "check engine" light will come on as well. I had a similar experience in the apartment I wrote about in one of my first stories, but failed to mention it. Except with me, the toilet would flush when I would walk into the bathroom. It probably did it maybe 20% of the time. It never did it for my ex, so I figured that my body weight caused the floor to shift and somehow made it flush. I tried out this theory one night when a friend of similar stature and weight was visiting... But we could not get it to happen. But the next morning, it happened again.
Maybe ghosts still use the bathroom? Stop at a gas station and use the rest room and tell me something dead isn't in there...

Lou

Miracles: I got nothin' for you on the soap thing, unless they were playing "prison rules" go fish! 😆...

I believe you are very gifted, and your kids, too... I see changes in you almost daily... Good ones! 😆...Your progress has astounded me... I wish I could be like you!...

It must have been pretty spooky when it all started up again... But I love how you take it all in stride now... Great post... Faves bound ❤

Thanks Taz for the tidbit. I still trying to figure my way around this site.

Miracles, you have another fan in me. I truly love your stories. Many time you have made me laugh and also cry. Making me cry is a hard thing to do as I see all of things as a social worker. ❤

any time miracles 😆
Will be sitting here waiting for your next story to come along, honestly I am not moving lol

taz - wow, why didn't I think of that? Ivory Soap Slasher! Thank God I didn't! 😨 Ghosts I can handle, slasher movies I can't. I'm a chicken!

You could be right about the "motherly spirit." Someone obviously didn't want him to cry in his crib, other than Jerrica that is 😆

redphx - I'm not entirely sure what purpose the soap is supposed to serve. My mom, I believe, is who told me about it. Read it in an article somewhere.

Thanks for telling me you love my stories. That means so much. As for your mom, I feel for her. I truly do. It's a hurt that never goes away; it eases with time though. But the babies we have, we cherish❤.

BTW, my son? Gonna give TMI myself 😆. I knew the instant I got pregnant with him. Yeah, I know, I know. It's impossible, no one can know. But I knew. I felt it in my soul. And this little man? He and I have a bond that is pretty amazing ❤. There've been many times he's read my mind, but those stories are for the sister site LOL.

I have never heard of putting soap under the sheet. What therapeutic effect is this? How does this help?

As far as the paranormal. Great stories. I loved them all. My mother also lost that many babies before she had me. At her time though she opened up more to the paranormal so she could feel a presence when trying to make a baby. (Wow that is almost TMI) Anyway she said she felt me days before she tried. I thought that was kind of neat.

geetha50 at the top of each story on the right you will see a heart, clicking on this will add the story to your favs which will show in your profile. Now if you like a person next to their name again click on the heart and will add to your profile page hope this helps

Miracles,
The soap mystery is a lost cause. I don't think we will ever find a logical explanation for it but we did come with some pretty interesting suggestion. Like Taz890 said, this is going into my favorites (but one question to all of you. How to you add stories to the favorites?

miracles is it no so obvious that the anwser has been staring you in the face all this time...
You had the spirit of the ivory soap slasher pop by one night 😆
Seriously though it is a strange one for sure.
As for dalton would say it was a motherly spirit that did not go for the "will cry to sleep" method and let him out
Thanks fro the fantastic post (adding to favs) ❤carl ❤

cosmogal - Oh, the looks on our faces, at least Jerrica's cause of course I couldn't see my own, were priceless. I imagine my jaw was to the floor. I agree with you, whoever else lived with us felt sorry for Dalton. Either that or they were tired of hearing him screaming😆.

As for the soap, couldn't have been the springs because it was between the fitted sheet and mattress. Nowhere near the springs. I still cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. Especially one half in the middle of the bed and the other in the floor. Granted, I could have kicked one half in the floor during the night. But the jagged, serrated-type cut has baffled me for years.

Lou - I can always trust you to come up with a comment that makes me want to LOL! I'm going to have to start skipping your comments, though, until I'm at home. One day you're going to get me into trouble😉

Good points about the tv and cold spots. Never thought about that. Thanks for the view 😊.

I am shocked at how Dalton got out of his crib. Sounds like there was "someone" else around who didn't want Dalton to cry and helped him out. I can just imagine your faces when he came walking into the living room. 😲 LOL!

That soap thing has got me going pretty good. I'm thinking maybe it got caught in the springs and snapped which might explain the pattern in the break. Other than that I can't think of anything else. Did the soap help at least? LOL 😊 ❤

Miracles,

Like turning up the volume... Once you open up, they let their presence be known.
Maybe your ghosties liked to sleep late and the TV was disturbing them?
I think your tenants had plans to be a little more active... If they turn off the heat, you won't feel the cold spots.
With regards to the soap, this could be a very dangerous situation and I think BJJ is on to something with her heel comment... Lose the stilhettos before it is too late.;)

Lou

BadJuuJuu - I tried everything to make the same kind of cut with another bar of Ivory. I still use Ivory and have never been able to recreate that same cut. But I will go home tonight and try it again. As a matter of fact (crackpot idea here 😆), I'll put a new bar under my sheet tonight and see what happens. I still experience RLS, although not as bad as it was then.

As for Dalton being ticked, oh yeah! And that's being nice about it. 😉

geetha50 - the reason I put the soap under my sheet was due to advice for that very reason. Someone somewhere said that a bar of soap under the sheet helps with RLS. Trust me, in my case it didn't help at all. All I got was a serrated piece of soap (and Ivory-scented sheets LOL).

I've never known myself to sleepwalk and neither of my ex-husbands or any roommates have ever mentioned it.

All I can think with soap is maybe, because of the restless leg syndrome, you broke the soap while thrashing around? Possibly try hitting a bar of soap in the middle with a blunt object, try to replicate smashing it with your heel or leg and see if/how the soap breaks. That's all I got.
Bet Dalton was ticked when you put him back in his crib lol.

I seriously do NOT want to be in your place. I have been sitting here drying to think of a logical reason for that soap issue for the last half while I was working. The only thing that came into my head is that somebody must have taken the soap used an object with the same pattern on the soap to cut it. Then cleaned up the mess and put the other half back under your sheets. The person / ghost who did this must have an extremely neat person to do this.

As I was typing this, I just thought of something else. Do you sleep walk for any reason and you don't know about it. You might have done it in your sleep and not even know about it. 😆 I will write back if I think of anything else.

I know that this doesn't have anything to do with your ghost but like you, I suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome. When I ask my doctor, she told me to lose weight and it will all be better. (Did I tell how much I hate doctors and hospitals?). So, anyways, I'm always looking for something to make me comfortable while I sleep. I was wondering why you a bar of soap under your sheet for the Restless Leg Syndrome?
