"Eerie, Strange, Paranormal..."

 Welcome!

I have some things to share with you today that are eerie, strange, paranormal. Some of these are weird things that have happened to others, and some are personal, that Greg and I have recently experienced.

"Many paranormal enthusiasts believe staircases are spiritual vortexes, attracting ascending (and descending!) spirits. At the Biltmore (estate in Asheville, North Carolina), visitor accounts of odd occurrences on the stairs soar in firsthand accounts detailed in online reports and comments."-  https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/north-carolina/haunted-biltmore-in-asheville-nc/

"Most of the visitors had reported seeing spirits going up or down the stairs. Sounds of footsteps had also been heard on multiple occasions. Not to be outdone, there have been reports of strange smells, cold spots, and eerie feelings when visitors would go up or down the stairs."-  https://ashevilleterrors.com/biltmore-estate/

Our Cat Kallie on Our Stairway, Not Long Before Her Passing

In my two previous blog posts (on 1/21/24 and 2/20/24), I wrote about losing our beloved cat, Kallie, to an illness, and about the paranormal things that manifested as a result of her passing.

Well, these paranormal events are continuing to happen. 

During the past few weeks since my last "Spirit Photographs" blog post, here are some strange things that Greg and I have encountered- (We are convinced that they are manifesting because Kallie is trying to communicate with us.)

~Here is a photograph I took of a tree right outside our dining room window when it was sleeting a few weeks ago-

In the photo above, notice what appears to be white ectoplasm near the top of the tree and the violet ectoplasm at the bottom of the tree. (Is this ectoplasm related to Kallie?)

~A couple of weeks later, Greg and I were upstairs, and just as we were leaving one room and entering the cat room, I heard a distinctive meow that sounded exactly like Kallie. Our cat, Mitzi, was downstairs, so we know it wasn't her. Besides, cats have distinctive meows, just like people have distinctive voices.

~Then, just a few nights ago, I was upstairs again, and Greg came up and told me that he had heard a loud noise in the kitchen, like a pan dropping. He said that he and Mitzi had run into the kitchen, but he saw nothing. He said that Mitzi went over near the pet drinking fountain, and was looking around. It's very possible that it was Kallie that had made that noise because she seemed to really love the new fountain that we had gotten for the cats a few weeks before she passed away. Mitzi must have sensed Kallie's presence, or maybe even saw her there. (Many animals are very psychic. They can often see and hear things in the spirit world that we can't.)

~One night, I was working on the computer in our study, when I began to hear a loud clinking noise that sounded like it came from the kitchen. It was the loud distinctive sound of Kallie's claw, hitting her water dish, to make the water move, as she had done many times before.

~One day, I was in the kitchen, when I heard a noise in the nearby laundry room, and I noticed a cardboard cat food box had fallen over by itself.

There will, no doubt, be more manifestations here at our house in the future, but we don't mind. It's so reassuring that Kallie is letting us know that she's still with us, at least part of the time, since she was such an important part of our lives.

According to our psychic, a new cat is supposed to be coming to our house in the spring, which begins in just two days. Please stay tuned!

Happy spring!

Haunted! Tours

 If you like visiting haunted places, here are two you might really enjoy-

The first one is near where we live. It's the Octagon Mansion History Museum in Wytheville, Virginia.

However, there is more than just history at this museum. Besides the history museum tours, there are special events and paranormal investigations lead by teams. In fact, on June 11 of this year, there will be a paranormal investigation.

Apparently, the mansion is haunted by the ghost of a little girl who died there of polio in the 1950's.

A couple of weeks ago, Greg and I happened to go by there when the mansion was closed. However, we took some pictures outside, and in one of the photos, we noticed ectoplasm in front of this window-

(So many times, at haunted places, we've seen different types of ectoplasm in windows.)*

We're planning to go back there another time. That should be an interesting adventure!

FYI: The Octagon Mansion History Museum, 585 West Main Street, Wytheville, Virginia 24382 (The mansion is on Facebook.)

Just recently, my brother and his wife visited the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. There is a historic tour of the facility, as well as a paranormal tour. Many of the mentally ill who were housed there, also died there, so that's why it's so haunted.

Anyone who feels really brave can even spend the night in this haunted place!

My brother sent me an eerie picture that he took of the asylum- (Great photo! Thanks, Nick!)


The Gothic/Tudor style of architecture of the asylum helps make it look really spooky!

Enjoy the haunted tours!

A Haunted Swamp?

Welcome!

For the past few years, Greg and I have had to travel quite a bit from Middle Tennessee to East Tennessee since we have family there. Now that we live in Southwest, Virginia, we go back to Middle Tennessee occasionally to take care of some things.

On our 5-6 plus hour-long trips, we nearly always stop at our favorite convenience store on the way that has a pond that is actually run-off from the parking lot. We fondly refer to it as "The Swamp."

Since I do photography and sell downloads of my photos, I take lots of pictures everywhere I go. This swamp is at times actually very picturesque with its wildflowers and green algae covering the water. I've gotten many amazing photographs there.

But, one of the most amazing is this one below-


This is a photo I took at night in which there appears to be a large orb with some ectoplasm.

I've taken pictures there before, during the day, and I've gotten ectoplasm in some of those.

For some reason or other, this place seems to be really haunted. It could be because of wildlife like birds, snakes and even beavers that have perished there.

It would make a great setting for a murder mystery, a body found there in the swamp!

Anyway, for the most part, like most places, this run-off or pond or swamp looks harmless enough during the day unless you get ectoplasm in your photographs, but it looks and feels really eerie at night.

In the meantime, what was going on at the local dump a few months ago? (See photo below.)


?

(Here's a special, rather shocking note, something I just noticed a few minutes ago, just as I was getting ready to publish this post: There are two small orbs on the umbrella in the photo above! That is something to contemplate, to try to explain. Food for thought!)

Thanks for visiting! Until Saturday, December 21, 2019, Becky

Falcon Rest

Welcome!

A few weeks ago, Greg and I visited a really interesting place, Falcon Rest Mansion and Gardens.



We had a delicious lunch there which even included pink lemonade!



We also enjoyed browsing their gift shop which is chock full of all sorts of intriguing items.  We even bought a couple of things.

Afterwards, we took an informative tour of the mansion.




The tour turned into a semi-ghost tour as we questioned our tour guide about some eerie things that we'd read about on the Falcon Rest web site, including a figure in one of the windows of the old house.



This is our own picture of the haunted window, but we don't believe anything strange showed up in our photo as the eerie-looking ectoplasm is merely clouds reflected in the panes of glass.

She told us several personal paranormal experiences she'd had there, including a child's ball rolling on its own!

Visitors aren't allowed to take pictures inside the mansion.  If we had taken some, we know we'd have left with a lot of  interesting photos!

We toured the beautiful grounds on our own.




There are all kinds of fun things to do at Falcon Rest.  Be sure and check out their great web site.
