Is a Woman's Spirit Haunting Her Old House?

Welcome!

I have an intriguing story and photo to share with you on this blog post. Greg and I were visiting with a friend I'll call Sally a few weeks ago, and she let me take a few pictures of her cat so I could practice my pet photography. Her cat was very photogenic, and I got some great photos, but the one on this post is not that great. I would not even have shown it to a regular client. I would have deleted it, except for one small detail; it was paranormal; it had ectoplasm in it.

Sally's Cat With Ectoplasm on Glass

The photo above wasn't the only photo of this cat with ectoplasm. There was more ectoplasm in two other photos, as well. Sally has other cats, and I took a few photos of them, too, but this was the only cat that had ectoplasm in its photos.

Here's the story behind what might be causing the ectoplasm in the cat photos-

A few months ago, Sally moved to this house which had belonged to an old friend of hers, Molly, who had died there in her bedroom. Sally began to notice strange things happening like at least three times, she found the middle bathroom vanity drawer open. It had somehow opened on its own. The bathroom is near the bedroom where Molly had died. Is the spirit of Molly haunting this house?

I guess Molly's spirit has mixed feelings about Sally being in her old house since she liked Sally, but she also had a great dislike of cats, and Sally has five cats who all live in the house! No wonder her spirit is restless! 

It would be interesting, however, to find out why she was around this one cat in the photos. She either especially likes or dislikes this cat. I would think she would like it as it's friendly, and very sweet. Maybe since Molly has become a spirit, she's changed her opinion about cats, at least this one!

My sister-in-law Cris shared with me another author that she really likes, John Keel, a prolific writer who has written such books as "Our Haunted Planet" which should be very interesting. Thanks, Cris! (For another paranormal book recommendation by Cris, see my April 23, 2019 post, "Two Haunted Rooms.")

Haunting Music

Welcome!

One day on my way to a shopping center, I saw this man beside the road, playing hauntingly beautiful music on his horn. I was very lucky that day since I'd never seen him before, and I've never seen him since.

Apparently, I'm not the only one to appreciate his talent, as you can see in this photo I took of spirits gathered around him as he played. Pretty music attracts spirits, unlike some of the crummy junk nowadays that's tries to pass as music.

I had no idea that spirits would show up in this photo. I was just taking the picture because it's unusual to see something like this in the town where we live. Also, I was, at the time, preparing to write a blog post about the arts on my other blog, "The Art of Positive Living," and I decided to use a similar photo without the spirits in it.

I'd gone for several weeks, not getting any spirits in my photos, but I believe I captured this one since I'd been meditating for a few days before which helps to make me more psychic. I don't often take the time to meditate, but I really need to, not only to be more psychic, but to help my over-all sense of well-being. Guess I'll just have to make a reminder note to work it into my busy schedule!

The Haunting Lure of a Lake

Welcome!

Great to have you back!

Greg and I had a close encounter or two with the spirit world during these past few weeks, as we usually do!

Not long ago, we met some family members in beautiful Lake Lure, North Carolina.  We stayed at lovely "The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa" where the stars and crew of the hit movie, "Dirty Dancing" stayed while filming was going on.

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa

Our sister-in-law who is really into the paranormal as we are, was staying with her husband at another place at Lake Lure that she knew was haunted.  We had wanted to spend the night there, as well, but we were unable to get a room, so we ended up at the 1927 Inn.

I had told Greg before we left for Lake Lure, that I bet our place would be haunted, too, that Patrick Swayze, the star of "Dirty Dancing," probably haunts that place.  We found out that apparently, the inn is haunted!

We were fortunate enough to have been just down the hall from a room that was supposed to be haunted, number 217, since a murder-suicide had taken place there.  Once, a guest even left that room early, during the night.  Animals that have stayed in the room don't seem to like it, as they nervously pace the floor until they can leave.

And, close by, was the suite, number 215, where Patrick Swayze stayed.  Although no one said anything about his suite being haunted, a couple of pictures I took outside his door had some ectoplasm.  Whether the ectoplasm was just a spillover from the nearby haunted room or not is anyone's guess.

Left, the "Haunted" Room, and at the End of the Hall, Patrick Swayze's Suite

I would't be surprised if Patrick Swayze's ghost was right there, though, because I can see how anyone who had stayed there would want to haunt that fabulous place!  It's a little bit of heaven on earth!

The people in charge of the inn are not shy about it being haunted as you can read about the paranormal goings-on in the lobby, and/or talk with an employee who has had first-hand encounters with the spirit world.

We got to talk with another Patrick, the events coordinator, at the inn, who  had captured a ghost boy on his camera during a wedding there.  We were fortunate that we got to see the photo with the distinct ghostly image.  Patrick was very lucky (and gifted!) because capturing an apparition on camera is a rare event!

That wasn't all!  Patrick also told us that he'd also been touched on the shoulder three different times there at the inn.

In addition, a housekeeper had seen an apparition in a white dress that even spoke to her.

Several other paranormal events have happened there, as well.

We got paranormal grids in several of the mirrors there (in the ladies' room, the hallway, and even the haunted room [My sister-in-law and I asked the guest staying in that room if we could take a couple of pictures of his room since it was supposed to be haunted.  He was a good sport about it, but said he'd not tell his wife that it was haunted as she would want to leave.  It would be interesting to see how they got through the night!]  There was nothing paranormal going on in Greg's and my mirror [or room], so we had a good night's sleep!)

Another reason there is so much spirit activity going on there is perhaps because it was a hospital for a time.

Anyway, if you'd like to go visit a fantastic place that has it all (even ghosts!), you might want to take a trip to haunting Lake Lure, North Carolina!
