Wow! Neat pics Peg! That one picture with the faint orbs had quite a few in it! Your house must be fun! Thanks for posting them!
***HUGS***

Christine

Hi Everyone,
Oh yeah, it has been fun! I now have all kinds of things missing. I feel like I am being punished for something, somehow. The biggest thing is $300 in a bank envelope, rings, fingernail files (all of them).
But, other than that it's been quiet really.
I did alot of checking for spots on the walls, etc, anything that could have made so many orbs but found nothing. It seems I can call them at will? I can take a picture, nothing in it. Ask them to come on' and they're there. Curt thinks somebody is protecting me.
I told him no it is all my guardian angels, God had to give me a dozen due to my freaked out life and klutzomania!
I can hardly walk today, Curt drove me down to Columbus to my neices baby shower. I coudln't miss is we're really close. The ride was hard enough on me, I like to ride in my truck it has lumbar positioning and a handle I can use to step up on the running board, I have an SUV. Anyways, when we got there, I missed the running board and fell right in front of the sign with the baby shower sign and balloons LOL, can we say PAIN?
So, yeah, someone is watching over me. I don't feel any negativity.......yet. Why I said yet, is that can change, it has happened to me before. Sometimes they can fool you. So, I am being careful.
Wish the pic's looked better. I am going to download my Mavica software again. I have to write Sony it has never worked right so I use another program to scale down the pic's.
Take care!
Haunted Piglet BOO!
I know? I showed the pic's at the party and everyone asked my why I wasn't scared? LOL

Aw, Peg! I hope your doesn't hurt so much from you fallin' down! (((HUGS)))
And I found that if you are missing something, and you ask them if they could possibly return it to you; they often do. I probably told this story before, I don't remember. Anyway...I was making peanut butter and jelly sandwich at my fiance's parents house. We are pretty sure that the man that lived there before died in the house, his name was Bernard P. Niles. In any case, after I had finished making the sandwich, I could not find the lid to the jelly. I searched the enitire kitchen including the fridge and the garbage (ew). It was no where. So in the end I ended up saying outloud, "Bernie, now I don't know why you took it but I am going to need that back. So when you are finished with it, I would really appreciate it back." The next day Mike asked his mother if she had found it and she said yes. She said it was in the silverware drawer. Mind you, I had looked there...twice. But Bernie returned it. Whether or not it was on his own accord or by me asking...I guess I can never be sure. But I think it might have helped. Try it...it can't hurt! =)

Good luck!
Christine

Peg i may have missed this question in all the reading.somehow ive read most of this and didnt post.my question is how long has this been happening. and do you know who lived there before yall. I had weirdness like that a my old haunted house 10 ish years ago.I never actually saw a thing.other people claimed they have seen the ghost, mist shadows or what have you. I just heard things, had things come up missing and back and front doors bolt shut on me.Then i got my children and left..I still go by off and on.No one ever stays for very long. Christine i didnt know that happened to you.You didnt get scared. Was it ever said if the guy that lived there before was grumpy or no. was he murdered or passed away by n. causes.
Peg thanks for allowing me to read your post.
see ya on the flip side

Peg, it certainly does sound like things have picked up over there. I can't believe that your missing so many things, especially that $300.00! UGH! I'd have to agree with Christine about asking whoever it is that is taking your things to kindly return them.

Have you thought about smudging at all? That might help to quiet things down a bit, although I would wait to do that until all your missing things have been returned.

You're welcome, Peggers. =)

I know it seems like an odd combination - the things that have gone missing - but I don't know that there is necessarily any connection between them, other than they are all important to you. I agree... you should ask for them back (nicely ) and see what happens.

Sorry you fell! Hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly. ::hugs::

Kell

Hi everyone!
The people that built this house live a city away from here now and they lived here 18 years. The only negative thing is that the man of the house here hated animals and did poison peoples pets. Once he took a gun on someones dogs, but missed but my neighbor showed me the bullet hole in his house still there. Maybe he was whacko?
I have found nothing yet. Curt (LOL) asked me if I was thinking he took the money? I told him if I did I would just go take some more out! The money is odd, the only people here were Curt and I.
We are hearing alot of knockings here and there, tonite it woke me up again. All the knockings seem to come from near a wall, but its not exactly the wall? Like tonite, we were eating dinner and here a knock, there a knock, knock in the living room?
I did play a good one on Curt this afternoon. He took me to the grocery, I just couldn't drive today. Anyways, he went out to pull the truck up and a couple of the cashiers asked how I was and the baggers were talking, and you could see Curt going around and around in the parking lot. So, the round he made we all waved "HI!" LOL He didn't think that was funny, but I had to tell you all.
Yep, things are going on here and this has happened before but not in this house. And I still don't feel negative about it for some reason. I also think they are messing with my phones. You can hardly hear on them, phone company said there is no problem? Yet they can hear it? They said I might need a new phone? I have three phones! And two different numbers?
Your right, I will ask nicely for my stuff back.
Oh, falling out of the truck? That is just a "Peggy" thing. I fall over my own two feet. If someone wasn't watching over me I would surely be gone by now! Although, it was quite an enttrance! "HI, I AM HERE........SPLAT!" I am sore from it though, hit my hip good.
Well, I will let you know if anything more comes missing or shows up? LOL I think they just want me to know they are here, now I know so? Give it up!
I know I sound nuts, my sister inlaw said she would be gone by now he he?
But I beleive the crisis in my family lately has alot to do with it.
I am rambling again! HALT! =)
Take care and luv ya's!
Piggie

This is just something else to consider - How old is the couple that used to live there and are you sure they are both still alive?

I really don't know? They were around our age, our kids went to school together. Our old house is about 5 miles away.
Now that you mention that Connie, maybe I could check that out?
Thanks, I assumed their being about the same age they most likely were, but might not be?
((((((((hugs))))))
Piggie

HELLO! I need help!
This shadow person is driving Curt nuts. He told me he wants it gone now! And the night before last when I was sleeping (he said he tried to wake me up but it was like I was in a coma) the noises started in the living room and when he went in there and turned on the lights the blinds (they are horizontal) were clacking back and forth right in front of him.
He said he then told them to leave his house. This isn't going to make it any better and I told him so.
I don't know why they are mostly bothering Curt, seems that way. I do sense them and hear but I am not bothered alot about it. He said I am bringing them home and they need to go LOL!
Anyone in Ohio know where I can get what I need for smudging? Never had to do this in Ohio and I can't find my shell.
Curt is serious, for the first time in 15 years he is freaking on me. I guess I have let it escalate. HELP! please?
Thanks.........Piggie

Hi!
I don't need help CURT does! LOL
Man, when he told me he wanted them gone, he looked like Jack Nickelson when he was in the Shining!
I even tried making excuses to him that he could barely see the blinds in our bedroom, we have a walkin window, and the sun changing postitions? And it just looks like a shadow? Crap he said he seen it a midnight? Moonshine anyone?
Why is Curt seeing and hearing this, he didn't before?
I even suggested that I freaked him out with the pic's and all and he's just getting carried away.
Bobby called last night and he's got problems in his home also, so now I know its just all the crap we are going through. I really feel when things settle down, it will again be calm.
Ok, like right before I had a traumatic incindent in my life that was horrible and I went through alot before the incident even, Bobby was little and he was seeing my Godfather in the basement daily?
I tried explaining to Curt that my Grandmother has always been with me in bad times and I know one is my dad because alot of the orbs are around his favorite chair that I now have in my home. Grandma's old pedal sewing machine is here in my office. Curt thinks now maybe keeping these things isn't good. I have my Godfathers little toy doggie with a bouncing ball he used to play with me with on my dresser? Maybe Curt is right?
Looking for suggestions here.
Curt is a religious man, well we both go to church and he said I am being selfish by keeping all these people around me and I need to help them. Is he right?
Also, these are the people that all my life loved me extra special, due to my mother.
I don't feel bad vibes, Curt does?
Did he all of a sudden go sensitive on me or what?
Thanks.......Piggie

Hi Peg,
here's my input. You said Curt is a religious
man, and if he's anything like my husband,
the teachings of the bible claim that there
is no room for spirits, other than demons.
When you die, it's either up or down, no choice
in getting off that elevator. So I think Curt
is in conflict between beliefs and reality.
Men tend to have cut and dry thoughts. At least
I know my husband does. So maybe Curt is just
trying to make sense out of something that you
cant. That is my oppinion. I know if this
ever happened at our house, my husband would
freak out, claim it was the devil and call a
pastor. I cannot subscibe to that theory, deep
in my heart I cant believe they are all demons.
So good luck, ask your dad to retrieve the items
for you. In my house growing up, things would
always disappear, sometimes they would end up
in the linen closet on the top shelf, all the way
in back. Weird huh? It was like it was collecting
stuff to play with when it was bored.
Back to Curt, tell him to be strong, open his
mind. You could also do the old tape recorder
bit. Have him ask it questions and let it go
for a while, who knows. Sorry you fell. Hope
that your hip feels a little better.
Thinking of you.
Doreen

Doreen does have a point. A lot of people who are brought up under certain religeous beliefs are taught that any and all ghosts are malevolent. Curt may be struggling with something he has been brought up to believe versus what he is actually seeing and experiencing. That in itself would make anyone doubt their sanity!! Most of us on this board have experienced things since we were small children. Just think what a shock it is to an adult to live their lives without this and suddenly stumble upon it!
My husband also has strong religeous beliefs. However, James has met and talked to enough of his friends, family, and my friends and family to know that not all things have a nice, easy answer. He has never experienced anything himself, other than going with me to take ghost pics, (which he now loves doing!). As he says, "With this many people experiencing this stuff, there has to be something to it..." I think he has come to the conclusion that most of us aren't kooks and weirdos, or overly imaginative. James is as psychically sensitive as a doorknob, but he has seen me and others around him "do our thing", and he has learned to accept it, and even find some interest in it. Some of us are just more intune with the world around us than others.
If Curt would be willing to do it, I would encourage him to read about the subject. The better informed you are, the better you can handle things. I would stick to something positive, like some of John Edward's books, (who incidentally is Catholic).
Men, like my husband, have a more "scientific" rather than "sensitive" leaning in paranormal thought. You might even want to find some information on the scientific end of parapsychology that would give Curt some of the answers he may be looking for.
I hope he can become a little more comfortable with everything! The poor guy has my sympathy! I know this has even been a little traumatic for him. As they say, "knowledge is power."

Your both right, but this happens to me all the time and I am so worried that if Curt's so upset. What about my marriage? You can't turn this off and on and I don't wan't to.
And your right, he wanted Pastor Fred and Pastor Mark (he's the childrens Pastor) over to bless our house.
And it is just the words Curt is using, "like whatever you brought home with you." It is not lke him, but again this is his latest experiecne since he was a child and he was totally freaked out.
I have had him do some reading, he just doesn't want to see these things.
Yeah nothing is returning, not even my $300. Nail files did all show up together on the ironing board of all places? LOL Other small items have gone, a couple disc's with pictures I wanted of the kids, etc. Nothing major.
The weirdest thing is like they are deliberately aiming at Curt for some reason. He's a good man?
I haven't seen the shadow ghost yet, but he see's it alot.
Oh well, I will keep trying here. I can't change who I am.
Luv ya guys!
Piggie

Hi Peg,
It's Doreen again. I have to ask, what happened
to him when he was a child? Sometimes things
can be so tramatic that even something remotely
the same can trigger those emotions. I'll tell
you this much, my husband doesnt want me to
"mess" with the supernatural. I dont "mess"
with anything. Things just happen to me. It did
start when I was younger (see my Norwalk Ct post)
Now they are back at my work. It's not the same
ghosts but the feeling and the seeing is back.
Just this weekend I was at work and caught a
glimpse of "someone" walking past. like they
were there then not. I work long long hours so
I may be tired, but not that tired. anywho,
back to Curt. He is using your gifts as a reason
why this is happening. Where we would accept this,
men have to have a why and how and who to blame.
I compare him to my husband, because it sounds the
same as stuff we would talk about, and I think
they are similar. From the religious point,
you are to blame for messing around with
the stuff that the bible says not to, (In our
world we dont have a choice) (Just quoting what
I have heard in church and bible study)
Therefore, you brought this into your house,
which is why he is saying it's your fault.
Dont worry Peg, he's just trying to hash this
out in his intelectual brain. And one and one
right now arent making two. So his man brain
needs to "blame" someone. My hubby is a computer
nerd, so I know from what I speak. I think
their picking on him because he doesnt quite
get it, and they may be feeding on his energy.
It's like them playing a game, you can almost
hear them taunting, hey, hello, Im here,
nope not the wind, it's me, look over here,
hi there. The ghosties can be such little
poops at times. Like I said, at my work,
it's gotten worse. they're trying to mess with
me now. I was in our cabinet looking for boxes
of cous cous, I tore the thing apart for forty
minutes, it wasnt there, my boss went in, and
there it was right in front, twelve boxes.
how could I have missed that? They like the games
I think It entertains them. Dont worry he'll
eventually get it worked out. Things will turn
up. check on the fridge (another ghostie favorite)
Hugs
Doreen

Well, it is my belief that it is no more Peg's fault that this is happening at her house that it is your fault that it is happening to you at work, Doreen. I know you're not trying to lay blame, but rather trying to explain a religious point of view. I can see where some might reason things out that way. I just don't see that a sensitive person should be automatically blamed for 'messing' with anything - it's quite natural for sensitives to feel, hear and/or see spirits without having to try.

Peg, I'm sorry that Curt is trying to blame this on you. It really isn't fair, but at the same time, I can understand his frustration. I agree with Carrie and Doreen that men reason things differently, etc. Indeed, knowledge is power and we tend to fear things we don't understand or can't explain. I think men have a particularly hard time with this because they're brought up to have the answers for everything. The more he knows, the more he will hopefully understand - or at least open his mind. You might try explaining to him that spirit activity can increase during times of stress - and you all have had plenty of that lately. Hopefully, when things calm down, so will the ghost activity. Another positive note here that maybe Curt isn't seeing - these ghosts are not malicious. Pranksters perhaps, but not dangerous.

If it makes him feel better to bring a priest in to bless the house, I say go for it! Also, you were wondering where to get smudge sticks. I don't know where you can get them in Ohio, but you can get them online at places like Capricorn's Lair[/URL]. Here is the page that has the smudge sticks (sage &cedar)[/URL]. And Peg, maybe you can have a private talk with them and tell them not to make themselves known to Curt, as it is very upsetting to him. Hope that helps. =)

Kell

Curt was pretty good about it tonite, I told him to just let it be and ignore it. LOL Then he said "yeah well look at all the bad luck our family is having?" I quickly pointed out the money I won last Friday =)
Doreen, Curt lost a brother due to electrocution, Curt was just a baby when it happened. Curt has 5 living brothers, he is next to the youngest. One day, they all got together (Curt said he was early teen/pre-teen) and tried to get in touch with Lenny, and they did. Freaked them all out and none of them want anything to do with these things to this date. I even told Curt that he himself might have a slight sensitivity if that really happened.
And tonite I just stuck up to him! I am a sensitive and I feel no ill will in my home. I do not pick up ghosts and bring them home and if something here was negative in my home I would do something and quickly.
Kell, I seen online but I am not sure what sage to get. I never used the sticks and I also have to find a couple people to help. Bobby and Holley offered, Bobby is cool but I think we need one more more in tune with what is going on.
To tell you the truth, I have been dragging my feet because I truly feel love here, and I think that is why they are here and when things calm down, they will also.
Curt is just stubborn. And I know it must be hard for a man to be scared? LOL (no pun intended)
I don't want to drive my dad away or my grandmother? There are 5 here. And as much as I can feel, its all family. Of course my side, and Curt said something about that?
Men? After all these years you would think he would accept it.
Oh geeze, I am a Lutheran Kell! Although we beleive in a spiritual world and afterlife, I don't know Pastor Fred may come and lock me up.
Although, it has been funny over the years the closeness Pastor Fred and I share. He feels like a brother sometimes. I am his communion assistant?
It has been quiet the last couple days. I told Bobby and Holley to look for the money at their house? You never know?
I am sorry this is so long, but they may be bugging Curt because he is tripping about all I do for the kids. It is not that he doesn't want to help them, he just wants to in a different way then handing out money. He thinks Bobby and Holley should give up what they have and move in with us until they get better?
Hopefully, they will stop it with Curt, I did ask that they not scare him anymore? We will see?
Luv ya'
Piggie
And this is Curt

Sorry Peg,
I didnt mean you were to blame. I guess I
explained myself incorrectly. I apologize if
I hurt your feelings in any way. I used to
go to a church who just about had a fit if
you said the word ghost in a good sentence.
So I have been grappling with this issue myself
and being the odd "man" out with my beliefs.
We were going to a presbyterian church, before
that a baptist. So my words were strong, but
not against you, I guess I was just expressing
my frustration that there may not be all the
answers out there.
Doreen

Peg,
Here is a link that lists Ohio shops and what they offer.

http://www.witchvox.com/wotw/shops/ohio_sh.html?offset=0[/URL]

You can smudge for negative energe only - that protects the spirits you want to keep around.

I don't know if smudging will give Curt any relief though. He's not looking to change his religion and I've always thought you should follow the rituals in the belief system you've already established. Ask Curt to read Psalms 101 and to keep the Bible open to Psalms 101 when he goes to sleep. I know it helps GettysburgMary when she has noisy guests.

Thanks Connie =)
Curt has been better, nothing for 3 nights now? Or days for that matter. No, nothing is negative here.
Bad thing is, about 5 years ago Curt changed from his religion to mine. When I read your post about his religion, I never thought about what conflicts may be between what religion he was and now? I don't beleive there is that much difference, but you never know so I will read up on it.
Curt could be having inner conflict between the two. He didn't just join my church but he took classes and was confirmed, that doesn't mean his old religion isn't still a huge part of him!
I never thought of it because I have always been the same. He changed because after going to church with me he really liked the feeling and beleifs, he felt very comfortable in my religion I didn't make him switch or anything he did it on his own.
I told him to go talk to Pastor Fred if he felt he needed to. Pastor Fred is kinda cool ya' know? We both like him alot, but he doesn't know I see things? If you know what I mean. Glad my church doesn't do excorsisms, I might be in trouble if they did huh?
I do think Curt will contact Pastor Fred, without me around to counter my feelings about the subject. Probably a man to man thing?
Thanks everyone. I do feel sorry for Curt. Curt is a very quiet man, one of those "walk softly and carry a big stick" types. He will be fine.
I look at it this way? If three teenage boys didn't drive him insane and he made it through it? Heck, he can do anything. Am I right or am I wrong? LOL
Curt did ask me the other night how I can sit in this house alone like I do? UMMMMM, its my house Curt? At least he is no longer on the blame game, that really made me angry when he did that.
Luv ya's lots and thank you again!
