My house now makes unexpected noises, for eaxmple, I left a pen on the desk, it was okay for 10 minutes, then suddenly, it felt on the floor.

I was in the bath tub upstairs, ready a book, then suddenly hear heavy breathing, my hubby was out for a bike ride at that time.

I would move out asap lol, but I'm a scaredy cat... I read a story one guy wrote online about how a baby's laughter or crying (can't remember) woke him up at the middle of the night. He spoke with his neighbors in the morning and they said they don't have a baby. Sure, it must've been the other neighbors, it can't be that he just had one family as a neighbor, surely, yes!

I had a bright idea to try reading one of Stephen King's books. I somehow stumbled upon a synopsis of "it" and read something about the clown coming out of a street drain thingy, whatever, I might've misunderstood. I was so scared walking the dog that night. I have such a huge imagination I could already seen that clown knocking on my window that night and my bedroom is on the second floor! *facepalm*

Sorry I was in pain today, so many typos..

I am not afraid Cassie, I kind of " what's that?", then I move on.

Sorry to hear you have been in pain I hope that you are feeling better now...

In our old house where we heard many stange things I would yell up the stairs at the noise...If youre busy up there you could make the beds please... They never did!

We actually had people refuse to stay in the house and very off things happened such as when we were selling it our estate agent rang us one the day before we exchanged contracts and said he had just done a walk through and there was a leak coming through the kitchen ceiling.. He said,

Theres water coming in its dripping down the light fitting and onto the floor, Ive put a bucket under it but we cant sign the contract while its leaking.

We jumped in the car and headed straight over to the house.

When we got there there was no water on the floor no water in the bucket and when we took down the light fitting there was just dust and a dead fly in it...

We told him we had sorted the leak and signed the house over. The new occupants never slept inside the house.. Instead they put their bed into the garage next to the house and sold it on within a year.

I'm actually quite interested in angelology and I do believe in angels. I feel like that pretty much makes me immune to all the other pests that may be wandering around trying to hurt me. Of course this is all theoretical, because in reality, who knows what's going on, but it's always better to be on the safe side. *shrug* Not to mention a lot healthier than trying to screw up your lungs by smoking.

I guess more people believe in aliens than angels and have no trouble believing in them, but I find that a bit funny and double-standard-y. People will say, well the universe is so big, we can't be all alone in it. Well what if? What if in this infinite universe, we are the only ones? Anything is possible.

I absolutely agree with this.

In fact, I believe I was visited by an angel many years ago. He came to me in a blaze of white light and said "God only wants to help you." That is exactly what he said. It wasn't madness: it was seriously real. And I'm not one to make up fairy stories.

He still visits me sometimes, but I don't feel that energy to that extent. The white light is healing, though. I'd much rather feel that than pain. It is something I feel inside: that there ARE angels. However, I would
NEVER ram my beliefs down someone's throat. Again, everyone has a right
to their own beliefs/way of life/etc.

Thanks Cassie, much better today.

Your story is really something. This reminds me of my parents' house. My Dad died in 2015. My mom had dementia and still lived in the house with her caregiver at the time, the caregiver told me she heard foodsteps between my Dad's room and Mom's room every night, stairways' light turned on by itself, drawers got opened in the library...

Sorry to bump up this thread if it's unwanted.

But I believe I am regularly visited by angels. I LOVE their healing energy and white light. Because of these angels, I am able to fall asleep at night. I can also spot an angel from far away. They have the most wonderful energy: I cannot describe it. But it is a relaxing energy I love.

I hope I turn into an angel one-day.

I DO look on the bright side. Sometimes I can be negative but then I rise again and try to feel happy. I am not living in a fool's paradise, though: I do know the difference between fake happiness and real happiness.

I am continually looking for a happy place: a way to be free and see the positives in life and get over injustices without becoming bitter and twisted - and ultimately - turning evil. I think if you're turning evil, you've made an error along the way. It isn't normal or right to be evil or nasty. Or both.

I am not Pollyanna but I do believe in God and angels and I know I'd much rather be an angel than a demon.

Yet I can be incredibly negative. I know that seems weird, but I am not always positive. BUT I try and try to get things right and see the bright side of life. I guess we all have our inner demon. But my inner demon I want to destroy: I hate being negative and I don't want to be evil.

That demon we must all fight.

It's hard to stay positive all the time.. draining even to try to force it if you just aren't feeling like it. Sometimes you have to just get the bad feelings out before returning to a more positive outlook.

I reckon feeling bad is possibly cyclical, and if not, it is simply the body not always being in top form. We all know that when the endomorphines start moving, we all feel good. Likewise, there are hormones that make us feel down too.

It's maybe exemplified by drug addiction. Big highs come with the price of massive lows.

There is always deep emotions behind emotions, if you see what I mean. There is always a reason for a thought, for a feeling, for an emotion. And emotions can't be controlled. That sounds scary, but it is true: our feelings are not always something we can control. Of course, if you can't control your anger and hit someone, you'll still get onto trouble.

Basically, I realize I can't always force myself to be happy. In fact, the paradox is, the more you try to be happy, the less happy you feel. You can't force horrible emotions to go away.

I think letting myself feel down sometimes might actually benefit me, rather than hinder me.

As the saying goes... Its ok not to be ok.

I had to step back from someone recently because of deep emotions of sadness and anger that they had reawkened in me. I dont blame them for what they feel or the phase they are at in their life but I cant deal with how I felt being around that.

On the other hand a song came on the radio yesterday (At Last by Etta James.) I used this for a slideshow of photos from my friends wedding and just hearing that music took me back to that day the sunshine the food the joy of it all..

Such small things can trigger emotional responses and they are not always happy but acknowledging them and working through them instead of pushing them away and preteding we are not hurt or moved by them is the way to get through.

I am an incredibly nostalgic person. Whether it's a smell or a scene in a film or book, I am always transported back to the past. I have so many treasured memories. Mainly those memories are of Sweden as a child. I LOVED it there. Those memories are so precious to me. I also have fond memories of sitting in the school library, reading Nancy Drew books. I loved that library and couldn't get enough of being in there. I also loved the park as a kid. We would walk the dog and play in the park, just happy to be kids. Such good times.

The most wonderful thing is, those memories can never be taken away.

I like to keep moving with ideas, working forward. Nostalgia for me is often more of thinking back to a time before mine. I often see no point in thinking back more than momentarily to a time or place I have experienced.

Music is also important to me: Patsy Cline brings back a lot of memories. Mainly because of my dad: he always had on Patsy Cline. In fact, any music full stop brings back memories. Over the years I have listened to CDs and listened to a lot of different radio stations. Music is in my soul and cannot be erased.

Way late to the party on this one, but I just finished a trilogy that relates. The series was Angels Walking by Karen Kingsbury. I really liked it! At the end of the second book, she tells a story of her family's own experience with what they believe was an angel appearing in human form. Very interesting!

Yes, I believe in angels.

I think the solution to life's problems and issues relies on us to solve. We may not be angels, but we can still use common sense and find positive ways to deal with problems. BUT maybe miracles do happen sometimes.
