Dear New House,
When will you be normal?!?!
-Me
As I said in my last post, we finally finished moving for the umpteenth trillion time. Hopefully this house is going to be my permanent residence for a while now. One can only hope.
It hasn't been a smooth transition though, I can tell you that. Interesting? Sure, but not smooth.
The house has been vacant for about ten years now due to the owner being crazy rich and not bothering to rent it out or sell it. Naturally, there's going to be a few things wrong with it. Luckily the owner is also aware of this and is willing to pay for whatever needs to be done to make the house up and running once again.
I had stayed behind in the old house to be sure that everything had been packed and the house had been cleaned to a relatively moral standard. I didn't do much though considering that when I had moved in, there was mold on all the floors and the fact that the landlord had lied to us when the house was under foreclosure to take our money and not put it towards the house.
My brother and uncle had opted to spend the night in the new house for the first two days and get it ready while I stayed behind.
I get a phone call about scary noises and screaming coming from the attic. To my amusement, they were pretty freaked out about it and almost came back to stay with me. :-)
Turns out it was just a bunch of raccoons that had been posted up there for a few years. So I called our new landlord and requested that he have our new house guests removed.
Done!
Two hours later I get a call that the basement was flooding from the toilet and the shower. Whenever water was run in the upper level, it would explode in the basement.
Again....AMUSED!!
They are such sissies!!
So we get those issues fixed and get all moved in. YAY!
Or not.
There's voices, doors slamming, strange noises.
We thought we were going crazy!!
My uncle gets a "ghost detector" that is supposed to sense energy and display it to you. Good energy, bad energy, etc. It also interprets words that are supposedly being said by these energy sources.
I was skeptical at first but played along if it kept them from freaking out.
Then, strange things started happening. I had been talking to them about what would be a good dinner. "should we make rice?" I asked. "Maybe some pork chops?".
They weren't sure so they decided to change clothes as they had just gotten back from the gym.
I'm alone in the kitchen and this "ghost detector" says
"Prepare.....Rice"
I was a little freaked out.
"Shawn....Changing...."
Ok WTF is going on?!
Here they come and they both said
"I think we should have rice."
I'm a believer!
We have ghosts.....
Who ya gonna call....?
