Hello! I’ll preface this by saying I’m a Catholic who doesn’t go to church except on holidays. I’ve never had any weird experiences until last week, although I do believe in ghosts and the like.
I’ve lived in my house for 10 years with my son. I’m a scaredy cat in general, but I’ve never heard, felt, observed, or even imagined anything strange in my home. My boyfriend and his kids moved in a year ago. Boyfriend has had some paranormal experiences in the past, and has claimed to hear some weird noises in my home, but nothing major.
One night last week, him and I are sitting on the couch watching TV. We live in a cape, and the only light I turn on at night is in the hallway that has the bathroom in the center, and ours and my son’s bedrooms on either end.
As we’re sitting there, every few minutes we’d see a shadow in the hallway, and the hallway would light up a little more, almost like a lightning flash. The shadow seemed to be coming from the direction of my bedroom, but the door was closed. We’re freaking out, checking all over, trying to find an explanation.
Now, some back story. I’ve had my grandmother’s Bible, a typical falling-apart Grandma Bible, stuffed with Mass cards and the like, for 8 years. It used to be on a shelf in the living room until we redid the room this past February; since then, it’s been sitting on a low table in my bedroom. A few months ago, I found it on the floor, but figured one of the kids had knocked it off.
In the middle of our episode the other night, BF tells me that the Bible inexplicably fell off the table a few weeks ago while he was in there. I’m still like no, no, must be some sort of explanation. Said some prayers, told the thing to get out, told it this is my house, go away now. I was mildly comforted by the fact that our dog just chilled out, sometimes even in that hallway, through all of this.
Anyway, this went on for a couple hours, but I eventually shut the hall light entirely and turned on the kitchen light. That threw some different light on the same area, and I watched intently for a couple more hours but saw no shadow or flashes. Great, problem solved!
The next day we visit my mom and I tell her about all this. She tells me to move the Bible to a more prominent spot, so I do. I put it, closed, right smack in the middle of the buffet table in the dining room. That night and the next, we still see the shadow when the hall light is on. Turn it off, turn on the kitchen light, and it’s gone again. Great. Nothing to see here. We just have overactive imaginations!
The next couple nights we were away visiting my family. We came home early this morning and THE BIBLE IS WIDE OPEN ON THE BUFFET TABLE.
It was closed when we left. We didn’t leave it open. The kids didn’t touch it. It’s too heavy to blow open. Nobody was in my house while we were gone.
Bf obtained some holy water and sprinkled it everywhere, and I intend to have a priest bless the house as soon as possible. Bf’s mother, who is super religious, insists that no bad spirit would ever touch a religious item like a Bible, so it must be “good.” But I specifically moved the Bible to ward whatever it is OFF, and I feel like whatever it is is thumbing its nose at me, going and OPENING it.
That’s all for now. Here’s hoping the holy water works, but I’m absolutely shook up.
