Well, it sure has been a while. Life caught hold of me but I am excited to share with you the epic conclusion of the Scroop’s Ghost Phenomenon… 5 months later. The shop has closed down and I have since begun another job as a billing coordinator. It’s far less spooky than the shop was but a steady job to the thankful for.
Fred started acting up again. Being so involved in the situation, and seriously lacking in equipment, I contacted CVAPI for a little help with our resident ghost. I’ve never worked with an official paranormal investigation group before but Jackie and her team were fantastic. They showed up on time, set up quickly, and were very professional. Each member had their own story and contributed their own talents. After all was said and done, they compiled a video showcasing the results, which can be viewed here. Hooray for technology.
By the way, I was right. His name really is Fred.
In other news, there’s something looming in my apartment again. Seems a bit curious, but nothing worrisome. Tonight I was sitting on the couch with my *ahem* fiancé, Jeremiah, and BOOM! Something crashed in the kitchen. It sounded like the step stool smashing into the fridge. Conveniently, it sits between the fridge and the wall in a space less than a foot wide and it is highly unlikely it could smash itself against the side of the fridge. Of course, I suppose stranger things have happened. I’ve sensed whomever it is has been watching me cautiously from a distance for a while, and he or she has been making a bit of noise in the last few days. We’ll see how intentionally noticeable this one becomes.
While we’re on the subject of noisy ghosts, let me tell you that I always seem to find spirits in unexpected locations. Actually, it would be more accurate to say they always seem to find me as I was not exactly looking this time. It was Sunday morning. I was standing in church (Yes, I’ve been attending church recently. Ironic.), waiting for the band to start their next song when I felt someone standing behind my left shoulder. Now, we’re in an auditorium. Obviously there are other people there. However, no one was standing directly there. I ignored the feeling and went back to watching the people take communion up front when I felt the presence get stronger. Then someone whispered in my ear a very distinct “hey there.” Eyes wide, I turn to my left to see there is still no one even in the row behind me. Then I felt the presence dissipate. Interesting. The church meets in a middle school auditorium so perhaps the spirit is linked to the school. Perhaps not. At any rate, I do enjoy a nice, friendly hello once in a while.
I’ll work on updating more often. Terrible.
