Spirits

This is not a very popular subject, mainly because people are 50/50 when it comes to ghosts. I’m sure I’ll have a few people saying “boooooo” because they don’t believe in ghosts, while others are more open minded and not judgmental.

When I was a kid, I started seeing what I call the shadow people. I saw them when we lived in Sepulveda on Orion just after my grandmother passed away, then I started seeing 2 of them when we moved to Van Nuys. Of course no one believed me. Most people say that children and animals see spirits, but you stop seeing them when you become a teenager or adult or whatever. I have stopped seeing them, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped sensing them.

We used to have a cat named Shanaynay, she passed away in 2009. No, this isn’t about her, but in a way it is. When we lived in the house next door from 2000 to 2004, I used to lay on the couch in the living room and I would feel the cat jump on the couch and then walk over to my chest area and lay down. Most of the time my eyes were closed when this happened, and I would reach my hand down to pet her, but nothing was there. I would open my eyes and be shocked that there was nothing there. That happened every day for 4 years.

When we moved to the bigger house that we live in now after my partner’s mother passed away, I didn’t have a mattress for my bedroom, so we moved his mother’s bed into my room and I slept on that. I would feel a cat jump on the bed and walk around, then eventually several cats. I’ve told my partner about it and he never believed me, until one day when he was in my bedroom and he had his eyes closed. I was sitting at my computer and suddenly he asked me if our cat jumped up on the bed, and I knew she was out in the outdoor covered patio, so she couldn’t have been in the house. FINALLY! Someone else experienced the ghost cat! I finally felt vindication after years of being told that there are no such thing as ghost cats.

So getting to now… I’ve been laying on my bed playing PlayStation 4 games, mostly Minecraft because I can’t stop playing that stupid addictive game lol. The last few nights, nearly a week, I’ve been feeling my bed vibrating, but a little bit stronger than just a vibration. I actually haven’t felt the cats in a very long time, not since we got rid of that old mattress and bought a new one. I still have his mother’s box spring, but a new mattress. I don’t expect to get rid of the cats, but I sense something new. When I lay in bed I can feel the bed moving as if someone is moving around on it. I know this is something new because the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get chills all over, that never happened with the cats. I know I’m not crazy, and I know it’s not just a delusion.

Something else happened tonight when I was doing the dishes. I was just standing there at the sink and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walk to the front door, but the door didn’t open. At first I thought it was my partner playing a joke on me, because he knew I was getting the cats food ready for them, so I thought he was going to stand at the door so when I walked out of the kitchen I would be startled by his standing at the front door. I didn’t want to play that scare game, so I walked over to the living room and he was laying on his chair sound asleep. I went to the front door and there wasn’t anyone there.  Spooky!

So needless to say I’m feeling a bit awkward tonight as I sit here at 2:36am typing this with the light on in my room trying to spend as much time as I can awake lol. I know I will have to go to bed, but I’m frightened LOL.

Oh well, better just deal with it and go to bed.I’m sure it is nothing, but perhaps I better start recording audio with my Dell DJ to be sure. You never know if you might get some strange sounds or voices.
