I've been a little absent from this place recently. I just wasn't in the mood to write, I guess. But I figured I'd try and get back in the swing of things, at least. I have nothing real specific to write about, so just consider this one of my rambling thoughts/update posts.
My house is still freaky. And no, I haven't done any research. I suck. I did try looking up my address, but it didn't give me anything except the name of one of the previous tenants. But I have no idea when they actually lived here. Probably not too long ago. So I don't think they're my ghost. But anyway, the house is still mysterious.
Yesterday morning I was sitting at the kitchen table, while Nat was making toast. And all of sudden we heard someone whistle. It was one of those whistles that people do to get someone's attention. It was saying, "hey! Over here!" Except without words. But you know what I mean right? Anyway, we heard the whistle and it was clearly coming from inside the kitchen. I thought it was Nat and I asked her what she wanted. She looked at me and said, "I thought that was you..." Turns out, neither of us did it. And it did not sound like it came from outside. The windows were closed too. But we looked out there and there was no one around. It was rather strange because we swore it came from right where we were. It wasn't a far off sound like someone outside anyway.
Cut to later on that evening. I got home from work a little early and before Nat did. I walk up to the front door, unlock it, and I start to push it open. I get it about 2 inches open and then it just stops. It felt exactly as if someone was on the other side of the door holding it shut. I could feel something pushing back at me, while I was trying to push forward. I pushed hard too! And it wouldn't move. For a second, I got really worried that someone was inside my house. It felt exactly like a person pushing on the door. But I decided to be brave and say, "let me in!" And then the 'block' disappeared and the door pushed open easily.
There was no one in the house. Nothing lying in front of the door. No cats. Nothing! And the door never just gets stuck. It opens fine all the time. So I seriously have NO logical explanation for what the hell that was. Except the ghost didn't want me home early apparently. They weren't done playing around in there or something. And when my cat Misty walked out from the back of the house a few minutes after I finally got inside, she was all puffed up to three times her size. Like she'd been frightened by something. And she spent the entire evening walking through the house screaming at nothing and driving us crazy. She doesn't do that normally either.
So yeah, the place is interesting. But I like it here. I feel comfortable here. I don't feel scared or anything. But I know we're not alone. We can't be. And I think it's very possible that the lunar eclipse had some sort of effect on the spirit activity and it was really strong last night. It's been awhile since anything noteworthy has happened, but yesterday was a busy ghost day.
Oh and there are other creepy things inside our house besides ghosts. I opened up the kitchen cabinet to get a plate out and a black widow the size of a silver dollar decided to drop down from somewhere and almost land right on my hand! Fuck me! That scared the shit out of me. I screamed like a girl. I couldn't help it. Those things are poisonous and I'd like not to die in my kitchen from a lethal spider bite.
And the shitty part is, I'm the man. I have to kill it. Nat is scared of Daddy Long Legs, so it's not like she was going to run to my rescue and save me. I had to be a man and do it. But just so you know, not all men are brave and tough spider killers. I hate them too. Especially the poison ones. The harmless ones are alright, but when a black widow that looks like it's eaten radioactive flies and grown to frightening proportions, shows up, I'm scared.
Of course, the fucking spider decided to crawl into the back of the cupboard after I screamed at it. It was like, "WTF buddy? I'm outta here." So I had to take all the plates out, and somehow reach my hand into the corner with a wad of paper towels and smash it. This wasn't easy. These cabinets are shaped oddly. They're incredibly deep in a sideways manner. They extend way beyond the door, and pretty much anything you shove back in that corner, you never see again. We have old dishes that we don't use shoved back there. Plus, the cabinet is high up too. I had to climb on the counter to reach in there, because I don't have Inspector Gadget arms.
I prayed this spider would not bite me as I squashed it. I crushed it hard, but then it fell on my hand and I totally freaked out. It's embarrassing, but why lie, right? I flung it off me and was like, "ahhhh!!!" but it was already dead. So it couldn't bite me. What a relief. But I still didn't want it touching me. What if the poison leaks out and kills me anyway? It could happen! Well, actually, it probably can't. But you can never be too safe, right?
So anyway, I killed it and all was right with the world. I checked all the cabinets with a flashlight and I didn't see anything else lurking in there. But we're both scared to open the cupboards now. This spider was fucking enormous so it was clear that it had been living in there for quite some time undetected by us. That's terrifying. That scares me way more than a ghost. I can handle ghosts. Spiders are just evil.
Oh, and after we finished eating last night, we smelled smoke. It was coming from outside and it smelled awful. But the weirdo who lives behind us is always burning garbage in his fireplace. He's the one I mentioned a long time ago who has gravestones in his yard and we thought maybe he was burning bodies in his fireplace because it stunk so bad. So we didn't think anything of the stench, except that it was annoying. But then we heard sirens. So we went outside and noticed that the house around the corner was actually burning down.
That sucked. How horrible is that? That's one of my biggest fears. And these poor people were just standing there watching their house go up in flames. Luckily they put the fire out fast and they really only lost their living room. The rest of the house was saved. But it was pretty sad to watch this unfold. Of course, it gave everyone in the neighborhood a chance to mingle outside while we watched. And then I learned that the sirens I'd heard earlier that morning were because the guy three doors down had died.
My neighborhood seems cursed, doesn't it? But I guess this old man who I didn't know and had never actually seen, died in his house. About 4 days ago. And this was the first they'd found him. Ick. That's creepy and sad too. He was dead in there all this time and no one knew? I wonder if he was at my house whistling? Saying, "excuse me? I'm dead over there and no one is finding me. Can you help?" It's interesting to think of isn't it? Who knows? But the whistle came before I heard the sirens, so who knows? Maybe he got a hold of someone else who sent the police to his door?
So that's what's been happening here. Lots of stuff. And this was just yesterday! I'm telling you that eclipse has a strange effect on the universe. It breeds ghosts and fires and spiders of enormous proportions. But it was cool to look at the moon. We saw that too. And we also saw the missile they shot into the sky to bring down that satellite. That was weird! We were standing outside looking at the moon and watching the firemen, and then there was this really bright light in the sky. I had no idea what it was, but I knew it wasn't a shooting star. Then I saw on the news later about the missile.
Yesterday was eventful. I wonder what'll happen today?
