I think I spooked myself. . .

Ok so I am now home, right?  Well like the day before we moved my hubs and I were cleaning alone, at night in our empty home.  We took a break to eat and while we were talking in the kitchen we heard something fall in the back of the house.  It scared the crap out of us, since there is really nothing in here that could fall! We did rock, paper, scissors to see who got to investigate. . . I lost.  As I'm walking down the hall to the back there was a loud noise like something fell in the room I was passing.  I screamed, my hubs came running and we started joking about ghosts.  We both watch shows like Supernatural, Ghost Hunters and other such shows.  So hubs being the silly childman he is said "if there is someone here with us knock three times" and started laughing.   We continued our search and as we peeked into the hall bathroom we heard another noise that sounded like a knock.  We both got the frissons.  So he said "we were talking knock again", immediately there was a noise in the wall right next to me.  I freaked out and we decided to leave.

We moved in and a day or so later found out we had a sewage line break/blockage which from what I've been told can cause "knocking" in the pipes due to trapped air/gas or something like that.  Ahhhhh ok our ghost was a sewer issue.  Mystery solved.

A few days later I was home alone and kept hearing a noise.  It was like rustling paper but there were no fans on and the a/c heater was off.  I searched around but couldn't find anything.  Then it stopped so whatever, right.  And here and there I would here stuff over the next few days.  You know like something fell but I've been attributing it to a messy house and a curious kitty.

Tonight I am sitting on my couch watching "the woman in black". Well it's a very jumpy movie so I was already a little tense lounging on my couch.  When suddenly a stuffed "screaming monkey" doll, started screeching as if someone slammed it. The reason I am a bit wigged out is that monkey hasn't worked in quite sometime and its just hanging on a lamp...on the other side of the room...and no animals were near it.  I squeaked, my cat puffed out like a pipe cleaner and one of the dogs growled.

So as I type this I am a ball of anxiety.  I am wondering if a playful spirit has taken residence since we were gone for 6 months or maybe I'm insane.  Maybe we will never know.  So here I sit...alone...watching Fright Night because apparently I don't ever want to sleep again.

Hopefully, I don't had anymore suspicious happenings tonight.
