I live in a fifty year old house. My house has been around almost twice as long as I have. Most of my house has been updated, but you just can’t update the bones of a house. The windows rattle in the wind on a stormy night. The walls are paper thin; allowing me to hear the neighborhood drama. But, the worst sounds come from the front door. All day long it sounds as if someone is falling on it. Perhaps one of the ninja cats from next door ran up and hit the door, or a stick flew through the air and landed at my doorstep. When I open the door, nothing. It has left me perplexed.
The only logical conclusion is ghosts, naturally. Everywhere you step in Louisiana there is another ghost. I wrote a theory on that here. It is possible I have my very own ghost. Someone was kidnapped and killed in my house 30 ish years ago, the gruesome details about that are here. Maybe the ghost kid is trying to get out of the house every day because at night the door does not make any noise. But what if, my door is actually enticing to all the ghosts in the neighborhood. Each time one of them enters the house the doors shifts. I did put out a welcome mat and paint the door a sexy red. I knew I should have painted my door a less slutty color.
Can I tell you how much I love you for posting this, Bonnie?
Why yes you can. I do enjoy your love 🙂
Well, I’m just in love with you, dear heart!
I don’t want your husband to get jealous.
You are so silly! You will love my husband once you meet him!
I already love you both.
I think you’ve just invented the best new word ever. Sluttly. And I commend you for it.
whoops. Thanks.
Maybe you need to have someone out to rehang the door. It sounds like it’s hanging loose. Then again, if it IS ghosties, maybe they are asking permission to enter. If you want to cleanse the house, which may help, you can go to this site http://www.wicca-spirituality.com/house-cleansing-ritual.html It helped us get rid of the bad feelings we felt after we moved into our new apartment last year.
I have cleansed apartments before, it does help. My house doesn’t have any bad feelings though it is just noisy. The door is new and was just re hung, but I could have someone look at it.
Well, since I’m close to 50 myself, I immediately answered a firm NO to your title, before I clicked on…read more. Hahaha! I love your red door..it says “hey there.”
Go you! 50 is the new 20 right?
U have an unusual blog & I’ve been reading for about a month but with this one I’ve wondered for the first time what you look like?
Hmm… I wonder what about this post made you think about my looks. I do not post pics as I am a teacher and want to remain anonymous.
Of course it’s a ghost! It’s always a ghost!! 🙂
And you know I’m not kidding….
Good, I love ghosts. At least the nice ones.
Most of them are nice I think. Just confused.
Mean ghosts are inventions of Hollywood.
in Afghanistan, my grandpas house is around more than 50 years too… When I was visiting my aunt who lives there with my family, my little brother who was 4 would always talk to someone. Who? No one the hell knew. He would always say that there were 2 men dressed in white, that they were nice, and yeah, they were probably ghosts. What mostly freaked me out is when at nights when it was silent and I had to take care of him, he would be sitting and talking to air. Creepy!
That is really creepy. I wonder if it is better to not see them at all or be able to see and talk to them?
I don’t know… kids can see ghosts, at the age till they talk, when they start talking the ghosts don’t appear to them. Its a fact. And as for my brother, when he started telling us about the ghosts, later on he stopped seeing them, because he was telling us about them.
A safe-house for bin laden double perhaps?
If there’s something strange in your neighborhood…Who ya gonna call?..I ain’t afraid of no ghost 😉
Ghostbusters! That song was number one when I was born.
Isn’t it everyone’s goal to become a slut by 50? Just sayin. I may make it a little early.
I think even if people don’t admit it, it is totally their goal.
No , not really or atleast I can’t say I ever thought about in any concrete details but the stuff about ghosts and air theory – now that is interesting stuff indeed. I like it when people theorize about why things happen or why they are in a certain way. Everyone thinks only they smarties in places like philosophy, science , law or psychology only have rights to come up with smart and viable theories but I often find that they get too stuck in their own smart theory that their mind at time shuts down from the overload. You theories are fresh and interesting – keep up the good work and good thinking!!!! Mari
Thanks!
