i was referring to the cemetery between downtown and shephard dr.
the spaghetti warehouse is haunted?? really? i love that place! heck yeah, tell ya what, if i get this engineering job i'll take you to dinner there then after go to the brewery tap (i used to work there back in the day) or la caraffe. maybe both....

Yeah, they hear a gnoccing sound coming from the walls.

That was uncalled for

They found a pistol in the wall of a Federal period house near here. Folks were speculating about an unsolved murder and a missing relative on my Mom's side...

I generally hate puns... but that one, sir. That one made me laugh in an auditory fashion.

made me lawl!

Smoke smell update
 

So yesterday the smoke smell came back and I asked Mrs. Foot if she smelled it, she said yes, but she didn't think it smelled exactly like smoke since she is a former smoker, but she admitted it was an atypical smell.

So that rules out that symptom of my possible Partial Seizure.
Still to resolve are my deja vu and that other thing I can't remember.

Great word!

Unless she has partial seizures with exactly the same symptoms.:shock:

How long have you been living in that house with the ghost who smokes?

We bought the house in 2000, I renovated it for 2 years and we moved in in 2002.

Well, moving isn't an option then. You know what people say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Maybe you should light a ciggie and join him. :D Hehe...sorry if that joke didn't go well with you. Anyways, maybe the next time you smell the smoke, stand at that spot and politely ask the "ghost" if he could smoke outside because the smell bothers you. *shrug* Worth a shot. :p: In case you're wondering, I am not joking with you. If you ask someone nicely to do something, he/she may oblige, right? Why not try it on a ghost? By the way, don't get mean. That would only upset the ghost and you may end up a real haunting rather than just smoke smell.

I think that may work, Tulip. I will give it s shot. I suspect the ghost is the fellow who built the house. I can appeal to his sense of pride and workmanship etc. and point out how I've put a lot of blood sweat and tears into keeping the place looking good. The least he could do would be to smoke outside, in the garden shed.

Tell us how that goes. :D

We had a ghost in this house for a while after we moved in to this house. He only haunted me though, my dad never was affected by it. He would come in, walk up the stairs and lay on my dad's bed. My dad has had the same mattress for many years, so it's got a very distinctive set of squeaks to it. The floorboards on the stairs creak as well and are right outside of my room.

Every once and a while I would find the front door open, and the cupboards in the kitchen slammed shut while I was in there. (PS our house is practially airtight, not an old drafty mess that would cause the door to blow open or the cupboards to blow closed.) And I would also wake up at night thinking someone was in my room... either I would hear a noise and wake up, or just feel like someone was there and wake up from it.

After a while, I talked to a friend at work about it because I thought I was going nuts. She's into all the ghost/occult/witchy stuff, and she suggested I just project a space away from myself and ask the ghost to respect that space, nicely.

I haven't had a problem since then, so whether it was a very polite ghost, or just the power of my mind setting itself at ease, I would suggest trying the same with your ghost.

ETA: But I also have extreme issues with deja vu, so perhaps I'm also having seizures and not aware of it. :)

the track is next to a graveyard. tulip? you game for some hauntings? anyway, the other day a go-kart just decided to take off all by itself. freaky! i had to chase it down the track and i don't mean jog...i had to run to catch this thing! little nuances.
