Megan, Rochester, Minnesota - November 19, 2008
This morning I woke up and went about my normal everyday business. I was
getting ready for work up in my room. My husband had gone to work at about
7:00 in the morning. I woke up at 9:00 in the morning and then fell back
asleep. I live in a split level house; our rooms are upstairs, and the
kitchen, living, and dining room is downstairs. Anyway, I continued getting
ready for work and went downstairs to get my lunch and make sure all the
lights were off. I went into the kitchen to find that the kitchen candle was
lit. This was strange because my husband and I always make sure the candles
are blown out before we go to bed. At first I thought, Well that is weird,
we must have missed one. I then went to go and blow it out. I noticed the
wax, though. That is when I really started thinking... If a Glade candle was
to burn all night there would be a lot of wax that was melted. The candle's
burn time is only 8-10 hours. When I went to blow it out there was no melted
wax, which meant that the candle was just lit. This however was impossible
because I was the only one home.
Ever since we moved into our home, I have felt the presence of a spirit of
some sort. At first I was thinking I was just paranoid, but there has been
some very strange things that have been happening to me over the last year
and a half. Another instance of a strange encounter is still continuing, it
depends on the day or something. My razors from the bathroom get moved from
the shower to the bathroom sink. Of course I thought this was my husband
playing a prank on me, but it started happening when he wasn't home. Another
thing that we notice is that we often hear the TV, or the radio, or some
sort of voices when we are in bed. This sounds like the TV downstairs may
have gotten turned on, but every time we go down there it is off.
I bought my husband a Spirit Chime for his birthday because we believe
heavily in Native American beliefs. This was very interesting because we
hung it up in our bedroom. He has heard it chime one time, and I have heard
it chime one time since we got it. It has been in our bedroom for about a
year now. There hasn't been any more encounters in that part of the house. I
wish I knew what I could do to actually see the ghost or spirit that is
there. I want to know what has happened, and why they are still here and
won't cross over.
Those are my weird encounters so far. Hopefully nothing creepy happens and
no more candles will be lit while unsupervised. I don't want my house to
burn down.
