The shadows continue all around the apartment. They are mostly seen in the bathroom and living room. The other day Jeremiah was in the shower and saw a shadow above his head. A few days later I was in the living room sitting on the couch and saw a shadow right across the room quickly pass by our board games on a shelf. I’ve never experienced shadows so often before. It’s interesting to say the least. Synthia mentions from time to time that she sees shadows but I’m not sure if it’s her active 5 year old imagination or the same shadows I see. Either way, it’s harmless and she’s not scared. We’ll see if anything else appears.
Over the weekend I took another trip to Belle Isle with Jeremiah, Synthia and a couple friends from NY. We hiked for a while near the opposite side of the island I’d come from the last visit. On our way out we walked a trail next to a fence and on the other side of the fence were railroad tracks. Half way to the bridge off the island I got a slight ringing in my left ear, which was the ear closest to the tracks. In my experience if my ears start to ring or my hearing is impaired suddenly for no reason I need to pay attention to what is going on around me as it’s normally a sign there is a spirit around. I stopped for a moment and could feel a presence behind me on the other side of the fence. Whomever was tagging along was walking at least 20 feet behind me. I started to walk again, slowly, and the spirit kept up the pace at a distance. It wasn’t until I started trying to communicate with it that it disappeared. Could it have been a spirit from the prison that used to occupy the island? Perhaps it was a Civil War soldier. Whoever it was certainly was shy.
