Just Sharing :)

I’m not adamantly opposed to believing in the paranormal, but also know a lot of this may have explanations.

I stay in a 1830s farm house part of the year and have always had some mixed feelings. When I used to sleep upstairs, I was never comfortable in one of the rooms. Then, I hung a rosary on the attic door handle and crucifix near the bed and felt way better sleeping up there. Not as many of us travel, so the door to the upstairs stays locked most of the time.

Now I sleep downstairs in what used to be the parlor. Every now and then I feel watched, not in a scary way but like someone watches when they’re just like…mildly annoyed. Sometimes out loud, I just explain what I’m doing and it almost feels like it stops. I also apologize for loud noises and try not to run window units or anything 😂

I thought it was just me, but I was talking with the person that takes care of the house and it’s definitely not just me. She was closing a window one time and swears she heard someone ask her to please leave it open. She feels emotions around the place. Someone else was in the basement and heard someone walk through the kitchen when they were there alone. She even thinks she picked up on a name. She shared the name and there are two women with the name buried in the family cemetery up the road. It’s also the name of someone buried elsewhere that was here a lot in the 60s and 70s. She said that whatever is here feels motherly and seems happy when the house is opened up and when people get near the piano.

When my partner and I are talking, there’s a light in the kitchen that dims and brightens and it seems an awful lot like it’s in agreement or disagreement sometimes. We even joke, “See, ghost agrees” or “Ghost said no.” The person that takes care of the house said the light’s never done that when she was over and my husband pointed out that it’s actually only when I’m talking.

The last thing, and this is my favorite, is that there’s a room that, if left closed for the day, smells like floral perfume when you open it again. I try to leave that one empty.

The house has a long history and, like most historic houses, people have passed here. There were some tragedies that stand out. The builder’s wife and children died in the log cabin that would have been behind the house if they didn’t burn it (edit: that’s not how they died, just how they got rid of the house after) and another person disappeared when there was a sinkhole.

I don’t feel threatened and haven’t for about 20 years now but just thought someone may find it interesting.
