Before these ‘uncertain times’ came around, I used to spend a good portion of my days in the public library computer lab reading and reviewing WdC stories. But with the Stay At Home Orders (or ‘house arrest’  ), I’ve spent most of my time sitting on my couch watching TV. One show in particular has caught my eye: Paranormal Caught On Camera on The Travel Channel.
I gotta tell ya, if you’re not a believer in ghosts, poltergeists, spirits, or anything dealing with the afterlife, this show might make you reconsider. The videos they show are shocking, weird, and downright bizarre! Some were filmed by ‘ghost hunters’, but many were filmed by regular folks in the right place at the wrong time, the wrong place at the right time, or any combination of these. Some were even on security cameras.
Having witnessed a few (not many) paranormal events in my life, I have to confess to being a believer. I saw my deceased mother as a bright light when I was young (although that might be considered a spiritual event rather than a paranormal one), and I feel her presence once in a while (I break out in goose bumps). I’ve also had some unexplained things happen in the houses I’ve lived in, but none more than the one I’ve been occupying for the last nine years.
It’s an older house—probably built in the 50s or 60s—small, four rooms, and it’s not the prettiest one on the block. The exterior paint is peeling and it leans about 2 degrees to one side (seriously!). But the roof doesn’t leak and the rent’s cheap, so I can’t complain. The things that happen here though, especially in the bathroom, have no rational explanation.
The most common one is things falling off shelves. Every once in a while I’ll find my razor or shaving lotion in the sink, or my shampoo laying in the bathtub. That’s nothing extraordinary, but I live by myself and I know darn good and well I didn’t leave them there. What did freak me out was when I was headed to the bathroom one evening and the light suddenly turned on by itself.
The best one was yet to come: one day I was sitting in my living room when I heard something shatter in the kitchen. I walked in and found a broken glass on the kitchen floor.
I asked my landlady about this, and she said she’s only had one other tenant ‘complain’ of weird things happening here. I asked her what room, and although she couldn’t be sure, she thought it was in the bathroom.
Hmm…
So…am I frightened by these mysterious events? No. In fact, I think it’s kind of neat. If I have to have a roommate, why not a ghost?
As long as they take it easy on my dishes.

There was only one response for my last NL asking if anyone had a phobia or superstition. ForeverDreamer said my NL was interesting. Thanks, ForeverDreamer! He also submitted a cool story about phobias, which I’ve included in the Editor’s Picks below!
This month’s question: Have you ever experienced anything paranormal? Ghosts, UFOs, anything?
