Weird Happenings at the Cabin

Welcome!

On my 5/16/20 "Spirit Photographs" blog post, "A Haunted Cabin," I wrote about the unfinished cabin that is on our property. I had done a ritual of smudging using white sage, and I had convinced myself that the cabin was free of any paranormal activity, but now, I don't think so for two reasons.

First of all, one day, a few weeks ago, I went on the porch of the cabin to see about the plant that was there, when I heard an unexplained noise come from inside the cabin. This is not unusual as this has happened before.

Then, just moments later, I felt the floor of the porch slightly, subtly, and briefly vibrate beneath my feet. I couldn't believe what I was feeling, since I would never have suspected something like that would happen. That was really weird, to say the least!

Then, a few days later, I saw Greg out working in the yard, and I decided to take a picture of him as an example of  a person doing something that he loved to do for my other blog, "The Art of Positive Living." 

That little plan was foiled, however, when, despite my holding my camera perfectly still, the whole picture looked as though I'd shaken it on purpose! I've encountered this same phenomenon before when in the presence of paranormal activity.

The cabin is directly behind the tree that Greg is standing in front of.

I started to wonder why the sage ritual that had worked successfully for me before had apparently not worked on the cabin. I finally decided that the new sage that I'd used was barely smoking, and that I'd have to work on the sage to make it burn better to get better results. 

We have been really busy working on our house the past few months, and I haven't had much extra time to devote to working anything such as the paranormal. However, I'm going to carve out some time soon to rid the cabin of  the weird happenings taking place there.

In a few months we hope to either rent out the cabin or to use it as a guest cottage, but the way things are now, I don't believe anyone would want to stay there unless they are real ghost enthusiasts with nerves of steel!

I'll have an update next month on the cabin, plus, Greg and are are planning to visit a creepy area near where we live soon, so please stay tuned!

The Haunted Lamp

Welcome!


A few weeks ago, Greg and I needed something to brighten our dimly lit dining room. We looked through an antique shop, and we found just the perfect solution to brighten up the room, a beautiful antique Victorian floor lamp for an unbelievably inexpensive price.

Antique Floor Lamp

We took the lamp home with us, and placed it in the dining room. We were tired, so we went on to bed. Before I went to sleep, it barely crossed my mind that the lamp might have something negative attached to it. As I was falling asleep, I dismissed the thought, and the image of the lamp gradually faded away.

During the night, I was awakened by the sound of a turning doorknob. (I'm a very light sleeper.) A couple of minutes later, I heard a loud thud coming from somewhere in the house, like something had dropped to the floor.

After a few minutes, when I didn't hear anything else, I decided that I'd not wake up Greg, that I must have just imagined that a doorknob had turned, that I had probably just dreamed it. And, I figured that our cats had knocked over something (like our new lamp!), although they rarely ever do.

After lying awake for a while, and not hearing anything else, I finally fell asleep again.

The next morning, I told Greg about what I'd heard during the night. We looked around the house, and everything looked the same, nothing had been turned over, and nothing had fallen to the floor or anywhere else. The cats were off the hook!

I suddenly looked at our newly-purchased antique lamp, and then it occurred to me that this lamp might have been the source of the sounds that I had heard last night. My first thought was to contact John Zaffis, the "Haunted Collector," from the old paranormal television series on Syfy (2011-2013), but I decided that idea was not feasible.

A better, easier solution was to get out my white sage and to smudge the lamp to get rid of any negative, or even evil, energy, spirits, or entities, which I did. After I performed the ritual, we haven't heard any other strange noises during the night or anytime, thank goodness!

Now, we just have a beautiful antique Victorian floor lamp with no negative entities attached! Happy!

For performing a smudging ritual, please see my previous paranormal blog post, posted on June 21, 2020, entitled "Getting Rid of Negative Entities."

I'd just like to caution everyone to be careful about anything you bring into your house, especially antiques. You just don't know where they have been, or what is attached to them.

Happy smudging!

Getting Rid of Negative Entities

Welcome!

On my last "Spirit Photographs" blog post on 5/16/20, I mentioned that I would probably use sage to get rid of any remaining negative entities and spirits on our property.

Several years ago, a local psychic, Linda, gave me a ritual to get rid of negative spirits. She told me to burn white sage which is called smudging. To do it properly, you put the sage in an abalone shell and fan it with a feather as you go through each room of  the house or other building. She said to be sure to also include the attic, basement, closets, and porches, etc., as well as the main rooms.

Burning Sage on our Front Porch

Also, it was important to throw a pinch of salt in the corners of each room as I walk through the different areas. (Another psychic Elaine Watson that I consulted while writing my book, "Photographic Encounters of the Spirit Kind," [See widget above for more information.] said that I also needed to put salt in all four corners of the house, both inside and outside.)

While doing the smudging ritual, I should say something like, "Any negative energy or entities in this house or on our property must leave now! You must leave, and you are not allowed to return. You are not welcome here! Only good, positive energy and entities are welcome for our best and highest good."

When cleared, Greg and I should sit in the middle of the house in a meditative state. Then, we imagine a beam of white light at every corner of our property outside. Picture the outside beams coming up and meeting from all corners above our house. They all meet like a ribbon with bows. Then, I say, "It is our intention for the beams to stay and protect our property."

Also, an actual cleaning of the house, like the floors, the walls, etc. is good.

If a negative person has been to our house, or there has been an argument, or even if I have any anger at myself, it's good to say a prayer.

I cleansed the inside of our unfinished cabin using sage, and it looked better than before, but there were still some lingering orbs and ectoplasm. Hopefully, the entities that remain are positive. If there is ever a problem, I'll take further action.

I had taken pictures of a neighborhood cat which was out on our deck several months ago simply because I love taking pictures of animals.

It was a real surprise when I saw the blurred images, some ectoplasm,...

and an almost transparent cat, in the photo above!

Apparently, something paranormal affected my camera.

I recently took the photograph (above) of our deck at night which shows no paranormal activity probably because I smudged our deck and sprinkled salt a few days ago.

I do know that smudging works., and this is why-Our house in Tennessee was on the market for four months, and we had no buyers. Many people looked at our house, but they kept finding fault with it. We just couldn't understand that since we thought that our house and yard were very attractive.

I happened to remember one of our neighbors telling us about all of the negative things that went on there before we bought the house. There were terrible arguments and a divorce, and the couples's child was purely evil, according to our neighbor. After we bought the house, the man even killed himself! Negativity galore!

I thought I'd try smudging the house to see if that would help, and less than a week later, a couple went through the house and immediately fell in love with it. They said it was perfect, and that they would look no further.

For Greg and me, that was nothing short of a miracle! It was out with the negative, and in with the positive. In my opinion, smudging can lead to happy endings!

And, happy summer!

A Haunted Cabin

Welcome!

In my previous recent blog posts, I mentioned that I was going to cleanse our house on the advice of a psychic because of the negative energy of the spirit of a man who had previously lived in our house.

I did a salt-burning ritual which is especially good when moving to a new home. After the cleanse, things seemed to go a lot better for several weeks. We didn't hear or see anything strange, until a couple of days ago!

I was sitting by myself in our living room one night when I heard an unexplained noise upstairs, and the very next night, Greg and I were in the living room when we heard an unexplained noise in our nearby hallway. It wasn't our cats because they were accounted for.

I had hoped I wouldn't have to do smudging using sage, but I decided I'd better go ahead with it soon after we heard the strange noises. I'll cleanse not only our house, but any other areas of our property that might need a good cleanse, like our cabin!

I mentioned our cabin briefly on my 9/22/19 blog post. I have a picture of it on that post which shows some ectoplasm on the outside of the cabin.

This is a picture I took a few days ago of our cabin which looks harmless enough, but I wouldn't want to spend the night there!

For one thing, notice especially the upper left window pane in the above photo. It's what I call snow-and-ice-looking ectoplasm which I mention in my book, "Photographic Encounters of the Spirit Kind" which is on Amazon. (Please see widget above.)

Then, inside the cabin, which is unfinished,...

there are unmistakable orbs and ectoplasm. I did not shake the camera as I was taking the picture. It was spirits that affected the camera to make the photograph turn out the way it did.

As a comparison, look at the photo below that I took just after I took the one above.

This one (above) looks almost normal!

One of our neighbors said that somewhere nearby, most likely on the hill behind our house, is an old slave graveyard. Greg and I both theorized that perhaps the spirits of the slaves were drawn to this cabin since it probably reminded them of where they used to live.

Also, it's possible that the former owner of our house could be here since he build this cabin himself as a workshop. He died before he could finish it. When I cleansed our house, I asked him to leave. He could have come here since I made it clear that our house was no longer his.

I'd like to recommend an intriguing video on www.philvalentine.com . It's called, interestingly enough, "The Haunted Cabin. "It's about Phil's cabin which he has investigated by a paranormal group. It seems that slaves haunt his cabin!

I'll have an update on the latest about our house, cabin, outbuildings, etc. next month. Never a dull moment at our place!
