Ghostly Goings-on


A friendly ghost?

We turned on the aircon the other day to 'heat'.  It wasn't cold enough to light a fire.  Raining, once again, chilly and damp.  Rain and sunshine.  Rain and sunshine. 

Anyway, we turned on the aircon.  When lunch time came around I turned it off because it blows right on to the dining table.  Pushed the control to the other end of the table.  We sat down to eat our fish heads and sheep's eyeballs, slurping away as one does when eating these delicaces.  

All of a sudden the aircon came to life.  All by itself.
We looked at each other.  No one had bumped the control with an errant elbow or a greasy finger, it was well out of reach.

The ghost!  That's the first appearance for a while.  K swears that the ghost  turned his electric blanket on the other night but I'm more inclined to think that a mere mortal forgot to turn it off that morning.

There was a wierd incident one night.  I was reading in bed, alone, when I felt a series of pats on my back.  Freaked me out of course but I'm just hoping it was a muscle spasm.  Nothing like that has ever happened before.  We've never actually felt the presence of a ghost.  There are no cold spots in the rooms or icy draughts which pass over giving you serious shivers.

Do we have another ghost?  Wait for the next installment.

    1. An elderly couple owned the house before us but we altered it, built on over the garden, so they would hardly recognise it. I do believe something odd is going on...

    1. Never thought of it as a threat on any way. K thinks it's a friendly ghost. He turned the heat on so we didn't get cold....and the electric blanket, so he says

  3. Things that go bump in the night or even the day time? Have you researched the history of your house LA?

    1. Not much history here. There were 2 rooms and a big garden owned by an elderly couple who spent the summer here. No deaths, no illnesses. We built on, changed windows, entrance ways. They wouldn't know their way around now

    1. Yep, it was a joke!!! No way would I eat an eyeball. Looking at them on the sheep is bad enough!

    1. I don't know! But it just seems different. Can't imagine why ANY ghost would want to hang around here.

  7. Our TV occasionally turns itself on during the night; unless, of course, one of the animals is watching a favourite programme.

    1. We were talking about TVs the other day. Seems most people's TVs are temperamental and turn on at will, including ours. Just that here everything is blamed on 'the ghost'.
      You have animals!
