I can't believe I haven't told you guys this yet, I guess I was busy having my self a pity party and being sick, but I am about 100% sure I have a ghost.
Yes, I am being serious. Last Friday (before my lovely meeting that put me well in my place) I was getting ready for work with the normal routine. Shower, clothes, blow dry hair and make up. I had just walked out into the living room with Emily and Thomas the man cat to get Emily some breakfast when I heard my blow dryer turn on.
I know what you are thinking, I forgot to slide the switch totally down to turn it off. Nope. It had been off a good 15 minutes.
So there I am with Emily, and my oh so brave cat with no claws. I was not feeling brave myself. But I left those two in the living room watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and went to investigate... I know this is where the ghost is suppose to throw me across the room but I am thinking it was a little early for the both of us for those types of shenanigans. Then the blow dryer turned off.
Uhhh huh. So I walk in the bedroom, and looked at the outlet like maybe the plug had fallen out half way or something along those lines to make me feel a little less insane. No such luck, I had a one way ticket to crazy town. I then looked at the buttons or switches on the blow dryer - definitely in the off position.
This is where I texted Bryan to tell him we had a ghost, and that I was freaked. His response..."Faulty Wiring." Sometimes I love my husband, this was not one of those moments.
So then of course convincing myself that I am truly just insane I went about my business and started to brush my teeth. This is where the story might be taking a TMI route so consider yourself warned!!!
Being pregnant, your gag reflexes and your bladder control are not at their prime. My ghost saw me gag on my toothbrush and pee myself. I was completely mortified....and again texted Bryan what the ghost had witnessed...again little sympathy.
For this reason, I believe the ghost took pity on me and has left me alone since. I am guessing that my ghost is more of a Casper kind of character - at least I am hoping so, I really really hated Paranormal Activity and it has had its remaining effects on me...yuck yuck yuck is all I have to say about that movie... but I did have a crush on the guy who played Casper in the movies way back when, so I am hoping to go that route.
I will keep you updated if anything out of the ordinary happens again - and if I ever get my husband to believe me... until then I suggest falling in love with this band:
The Great Lake Swimmers
Remind me sometime, when we are in the same location, to tell you my "ghost" stories. (multiple sightings by different people at the same location). The hair on the back of my neck still stands up every time I think of it.
