Getting a bit creeped out now.

[Racket_Man]

There are "things" running around my house. like little balls of light just at the edge of my vision.

Now the strange thing. I posted about a month that my GF had passed on. Here is the weird stuff:

On the wall she had a old photo (8" x 10") of her from her HS Yearbook picture. Just as she passed the face on the picture turned grey and is still mostly grey.

About 6 or 7 years ago her daughter gave her a Mother's Day hanging plant. The plant was a perennial. When the weather got colder I brought it inside and put it in the bow window, kept it watered (along with other plants she had in the window. When the weather got warmer I put if back outside. The plant experienced a few problems over the years BUT....... in the week before GF passed, the plant seemed to be fading even with regular watering. Just after GF passed (meaning within the hour after she pasted see my post about that event) I looked out the bow window and found the plant had literally just dried up and died (I touched the remaining stalks and they just fell away and turned to dust right in front of my eyes).

I know my dog (who is really getting up in years and having LOTS of physical problems but that is another post) was not happy just after GF passed as in he KNEW something had happened. He actually wanted to get under her hospital type bed for some reason.

I know years ago when I moved in with GF there were "things" floating around the house but I know I am somewhat sensitive to such things and really do not mind them or really pay attention to them. Occasionally one or two will "wack" the back of my head for a bit for some reason (maybe to get my attention or just to fuck with me for fun not sure).


The activity slowed down over the years (even after GF got sick) with the occasional light ball or wack to the back of the head. Maybe it is because I cleansed the house with sage, sweet grass, tobacco and incense on a semi regular basis. I know my dog sees things because at times he will intently stare for a while at something where there is "nothing".

Now that I have time, here is my experiences with the haunted mall I occasionally do security for. I am not the only one to experience things here either. Personal experiences first followed by stories from other workers.

I first started here last year when my company first won the contract. In the beginning we were all alone on night shift. One night, as I sat at our report writing pc, I felt someone looking at me. I had my back to the windows so I turned around. There was a young boy staring in at me. At first I thought nothing of it, just waved and turned back around. Then I remembered a very important fact; our office is on the 2nd story. Needless to say when I turned back around he was gone.

In that first office, before we moved to the main office, if you closed and locked the door you would clearly hear someone knocking on it. If you looked closely enough you could see a shadow through the window. Nobody would ever be there when we opened it however. You can hear children laughing at night when it gets quiet. If you looked across at the next building(outdoor mall) you could occasionally see shadows running back and forth through the vacant upstairs, which is unfinished.

Once we moved into the main area we had less of an issue with the boy. However whilst sitting at the pc there after my coworker had left I heard women talking out in the hall. I thought it was our client coming in so I got up to greet them. There was nobody out in the hallway or in the office. I went out to look for them and clearly saw that the only vehicle anywhere near our office was mine. I blew it off thinking I was tired and went back to the pc. Now it's around 2am at this point. I'm sitting there writing up my nightly report when I clearly hear, right in my ear, a woman's voice asking "Are you ready? I'm ready..." I turned every single light on that I could find and blared music for the rest of the night. No idea what she may have been ready for but I wanted no part of it.

The vacant area under our building, formerly an underage nightclub, has a very negative feel to it. Even in the brightest, sunniest of days if you entered you would immediately feel unwelcome. I went in there once alone by myself at night to check the ambient temperature to make sure the pipes weren't going to freeze as the winter was harsh. I felt nauseous in that building. On my way out I glanced to my left to see a large dark shadow person watching me. As I stared at it, it started moving towards me. You can bet your *** I moved faster than I have ever moved in my life and noped the **** out. From that moment on I made my coworker/friend(who had seen creepy things as well) accompany me to all of the vacants. We both felt unwelcome in that first vacant but since we weren't alone we never saw the shadow dude again.

On to the other sightings.

My former boss was walking by the building with the vacant upstairs one day. As he passed by a window he looked up and noticed a young boy standing there staring down at him. He went inside to check and found no sign of anyone within.

The janitor bosslady pulled into work one morning just before 6am. The mall was completely silent and she was the only person there. As she sat in her car waiting for the clock in time she looked up at the windows(our office building) and saw a young boy running up and down the hallway. She said she grabbed her things, ran inside her office downstairs and locked the door(as if that would stop anything lol) She called her boss demanding to know what was going on in the building and his response after hearing her story was that they knew about the strange events and had seen them for themselves.

I have yet to find any evidence to explain why we would be seeing these guys but they really like to let me know they're around.

Eek. Nothing along those lines where I live now. At my old place in NOLA, yeah, we had the Colonel. He lived upstairs in the attic, and we could hear him stomping around only when we were all downstairs (the cats generally refused to go upstairs unless we accompanied them). Seemed to do so more often when the other side of our duplex/town house (split vertically) was unoccupied.
