Its official! I'm a married woman! And happily so! We were married on August 9, 2009. Nearly all our friends and family came, which was actually more than we expected! We'd been hoping for a small deal, but ended up with overcrowding. Still, the more the merrier. Apart from a couple of people getting a bit too drunk at the reception, the whole thing was beautiful. Frankly, it was very surreal to me. It felt like I was walking around in a dream the whole time! Henry kept grinning at me all amazingly and who wouldn't adore him? Well, I do, naturally. I'm still in this giddy newlywed, silly, state of mind, mind you. But I'm still able to get down to business when needed.
Most of our honeymoon was spent obsessing over one another, but we couldn't really enjoy anything else anyway while in NYC because to get from point A to point B even if its only a mile or so, can take a long time in that traffic! Still, it doesn't matter because we enjoyed each other and our time together. Even though we always make time for one another, we both have busy work schedules and we don't always get as much free time as we'd like. So having a few days to play and do nothing and anything was a very nice feeling!!!
On the paranormal front, we haven't been hunting in a while now. We've been much to busy obviously. But now that we're back, we've got a trip planned this coming weekend. Up into the mountains of SC, a few hours drive away. We're going to visit some old houses said to be haunted. Not sure if we can see much or do much technically speaking, but it should be an interesting trip if nothing else!
Around the house, while we were gone, my roommates witnessed a new, unusual happening. They both have seen, at separate times this past week, something out of the corner of their eye in the front bathroom mirror. Now, I haven't and my husband haven't, witnessed this as of yet, but I've questioned our roommates and intend to do some hunting myself. Stake out the bathroom tonight or tomorrow night and see if anything unusual happens.
If not, maybe I'll play Bloody Mary. xP But seriously, they've each described seeing something dark and close to the ground, flash as if an animal were running behind them, more than once. They looked but by the time they focused on it, it was gone. I have no idea what it might mean. Or if their imaginations are just working overtime. Maybe time will tell.

Current Events
I'm planning for my upcoming wedding. Therefore things are wild and busy these days! After our wedding and things settle down I should be back into my usual ghost hunting obsession. If I have any free time in between, I'll get to it as well.
I will say what I know so far of the home we are renting. From what we've noticed around our home, the hallway and front room seem to have the most inexplicable activity. My own room is fairly quiet and the room across is as well. When we're all sitting in the living room we often hear sounds coming from down the hall, but when we investigate, we never feel or find anything unusual in the back rooms. We've gotten some odd readings in the front room.
A compass needle jerks around even when left on a flat surface with no electronics around. And the hairs on the back of my roommate's necks have been reported, along with strange sounds such as breathing, shuffling, thumping, and once even laughter was heard.
I don't spend much time in the front room, but I do in the hall. I can honestly say I get an uncomfortable feeling while walking down our hall. Often I'm fine, but out of the blue I can be walking down the hall, thinking of completely unrelated thoughts, and suddenly be gripped by an unexplained fear.
In the front room, one night after we first moved in, we heard tapping sounds as if someone were tapping on the window. We checked it out, no trees or branches were close enough to hit the window, and nobody was out there. No reports of tapping since. Its curious for sure.
We tried hanging a picture in the hall, but every couple of days, it somehow ends up on the floor. Henry moved the place it was hanging and made sure he used a stud finder to find a good place to hammer a nail and hang the photo. It fell again. We've since not bothered to hang anything up in the hall.
That is all for now. I'll report more when I have time to investigate, but I'm still jotting down each incident that happens.
Wish us luck in our wedding!

An Enouraging Weekend
Last weekend the four of us, myself, my fiance, and our two roommates, Joey and Anissa, went Friday night to an old church and graveyard we heard about. Other than spooking ourselves with random snapping twigs and a few shadows that were easily explained away. Nothing paranormal to report on that. But Saturday night we went to Anissa's great aunt's old place. A farm house with a small house and I guess regular sized barn.
We got some interesting readings in the barn. A compass was jumping around whenever anyone used it the right corner, and Joey thinks he picked up a voice, though we're still analyzing that. We also kept getting cold spots even though it was nearly 80 degrees in there, and a few times we felt like we were being watched. I stepped out twice to look around the outside of the entire barn with a flashlight just to see if someone was there or some animal to give reason to my feeling, but nothing. We were alone in there. Pretty interesting.
The tale goes that Anissa's late great uncle built the place back in the 1930s and their elderly neighbor died in the barn itself. Since the two were feuding and he'd come over likely to fight, we're not too sure on the back story with that, it is believed he wouldn't be at peace having died at his 'enemies' place. Anissa's aunt also swore someone else died on the property, but wouldn't go into details.
The house was pretty much well cared for by someone who comes by to look after her aunt. Her aunt was in the hospital recovering from a fall, but she is back in fairly good health for her age.
Well not much to report within the house itself. Henry saw a shadow in the form of what appeared to be a dog or small animal in a back bedroom, and we all heard what sounded like padding paws or foot steps along the wooden floors once. But no animal was around and she doesn't own a dog. There are no longer any animals on the farm so that couldn't be it either.
Anissa plans to ask her aunt about the dog.
My friend recently told me about a new movie that may be coming to the US by the fall. Though it isn't exactly the most paranormal based thing, and is more religious based, you don't have to be religious to appreciate the story and the facts surrounding it. I'm not a Catholic and this isn't a religious promotion, its just something I think is a fascinating story that many claim is totally true. It is already made and has already been seen, just not here yet. It is about the events that happened in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. I think even those of us who aren't quick to believe every paranormal story we hear have to admit, when researching Fatima, that the odds are stacked in the favor of the paranormal. I'm not saying whether or not a miracle truly happened on October 13, 1917, but I will say something did happen in the sky that day and many people were witness to it. For more on Fatima and the children of Fatima, check out this link or google information about it. A good little book called 'The True Story of Fatima' by John de Marchi is also a nice read. It really puts you in the mind of what those children went through and how they felt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Fatima

Are you one of the haunted living?
People ask me if I believe in ghosts. The simple answer is yes, I do. Do I know what they are? No, I don't. I don't have any religious or philosophical answers as to why people see, hear, feel and even touch things they call ghosts. I do know most people have seen something they can't explain, including myself. Whether or not such experiences are from conscious beings roaming about after death, or remnants of their energy left over, or even possibly energy of the now living given shape and form, I do not know.
Are you one of the living who are being haunted by something or one? You may believe it is a loved one who has passed over who is trying to make contact with you, or who doesn't wish to move on yet, or who is watching over you. You may even think it is an evil entity who haunts your home, some item in your home, or a person in your home or near you and that it has mal intent and causes harm to you and/or your family. And what if you don't believe in any such thing and believe the odd happenings surrounding you are from you or other living people around you? Some people do believe that even terrifying hauntings are manifestations of real live peoples' fears, frustrations and anger taking a more physical form. Perhaps it is energy from our own bodies unleashing such things. Hormones or parts of our brain we've yet to learn to harness. You may be right on any and all of the above counts. I'm not here to sway people to believe or disbelieve in the concepts of the paranormal, nor to convince you one or another religion is correct. I'm merely asking that you each take a closer look at the people and things around you and to keep an open mind.
