I LOVE Wednesdays. Wednesday nights I geek out on my paranormal crack: Ghost Hunters....and they're back with new episodes next week.
Woohoo!
I have been obsessed with ghosts since, at least as far as I can remember, the age of 2.
I have no recollection as to what sparked my interest, but since my childhood I have had many interestingexperiences involving many different aspects of the paranormal. I even lived in a very active haunted house complete with disembodied voices, multiple interactions by multiple people (myself included) with a full bodied apparition and the usual "poltergeist"-esque activity (slamming doors and the like) when I was in my early 20's and living in San Marcos, Texas. Once he and I established our personal boundaries (like no scaring the daylights out of me by banging about the house in the middle of the night, or the middle of the day for that matter!) he actually proved to be the best and most respectful roommate I ever had...he never ate my food or drank my beer or Bushmills.
I love visiting haunted locations. For those of you that are interested, here are some of my photos and links to my favorite "haunts:"

I love paranormal stuff I guess most of it was figuring out and dealing with the house I lived in for the first 19 years of my life in the OC. It was haunted by a 9 year old victorian girl who I saw a full embodiment of and there were several other visitors as well but the overall feeling of the house was negative except for the victorian girl and the several occurrences where I and my mother would hear my voice from when I was a little kid.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever find out anything about the little girl or the history of the house/property?
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you would hear your own voice...I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar phenomena...
Those are some great photos, and a wonderful description of what it's like to live with a ghost.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the link!
