#12) Ghost in our Kitchen



Soon after I moved in with my boyfriend about two years ago, I began to feel like a real klutz.  Everything around me would fall off the walls and break. So, for the first week or so, I had to explain to him why a favorite decor item was now in the trash or not repairable.  One night the microwave even caught on fire and was completely destroyed. Of course, I thought this one would be the end of our relationship!
    One night when we were sitting watching television we heard a thump in the kitchen. When we went in to investigate, we noticed that one of the votive glass had fallen out of the sconce on the wall. He replaced it and we went back into the t.v. room; within the hour, we heard the noise again.  This time it had fallen, but had rolled under the table and was chipped.  I jokingly said that the house was haunted.
    A few nights later, when he was at work, I was in the t.v. room and I heard a loud noise in the living area behind me. Another (different) votive have fell out of a sconce. I put it back and noticed that it was a little loose, so I took some masking tape and wrapped it around the base to make it fit tighter. Not satisfied with that I placed a little hot glue in the bottom. It was in tight enough that I could not pull it out easily.
    That weekend we were having dinner in the t.v. room and heard a shatter, but no thump. The same votive I had wrapped and glued was half way across the room and in a million pieces. It had landed on carpeting and the pieces of glass were strung out from one side of the room to the other (this formal living room is fairly large). We spent days picking up glass pieces.
     About 4 months ago, my boyfriend was up watching television and I had went to bed about a hour before. He came into the bedroom and asked what I had wanted. Being that he had just woke me up I was confused by his comment. He said that he felt me lay my hand on his shoulder and say his name. When he turned to look up I was not there.  He has said that he has heard me speak to him many nights and assumed that I was dreaming. But this night the voice was right by his ear.
    We haven't had any experiences since than and I do not feel uncomfortable in the house. Our home is only about 5 or 6 years old and the property used to be a farm and the old farm house was torn down when several other homes were built on it.  IF I am not mistaken I believe my boyfriend said the elderly couple died in their old age...
    The only other thing that we notice is that we have the world's biggest scared- e-cat! Literally, she is afraid of the littlest noise and runs frantically through the house and stares at corners where nothing is.  She acts as though she is constantly being tormented and crouches in fear at the littlest of noises.
