Remember how I told you our new house was haunted? I’ve been waivering on whether or not I believe it.
A friend’s exhusband and their children who lived in the house relayed to us that the most common place for stuff to happen was in the bathroom (and Boo’s closet). Apparently, one of the favorite things for the spirit to do is turn on the sink faucet.
Riiiiiiight….
The day after she told us that Kiefer took Ozzy for a walk and I picked up our dinner. When I came back, Kiefer and Ozzy were still gone, but I heard something in the bathroom. The water in the sink was running.
What the….
So now all I’m picturing is something scary standing over the baby’s crib, like this:
Yellow-eyed demons eat babies…
And we all know what yellow-eyed demons do to baby mamas.
Death by ceiling fire…
It’s been nice knowing all of you. Please use the comments to call dibs on my personal belongings.

Dibs on pop tarts!

I call dibs on all the booze!

A wise choice. There’s a lot of booze. Especially flavored vodka.

Damn, beat me to it. I think I should at least be entitled to SOME of it, since I bought her about half of it! 😉
October 16th, 2013 at 1:20 pm
Um… thanks?
I remember reading about all of Thoughtsy’s exotic bottles’o hootch. And it’s not like she can use them any time soon, anyway.

We had a banger for a couple of years. Drove us nuts while trying to go to sleep and again from 4:00 AM until dawn. It would start with hitting the TV screen, then dressers, walls and ceiling. I finally tried table salt. I thought, “What have I got to lose?” I filled some crystal bowls and placed them all around the room. It took a couple of weeks, but the angry ghost moved on. No more banging! I still have the salt around, just in case. I would try it! If your friends ask what bowls of salt are doing in your bathroom, tell them, “It’s my new air freshener.”

We have a banger, too. Her name is Esme Kitty.

What the…………… So, how invested are you in this house? Are you sure it’s a keeper?!
October 17th, 2013 at 8:37 am
It actually only happened that one time, so I’m beginning to suspect Kiefer.

Salt (as mentioned above), Lavender (cleaning abilities), Iron (spooky creatures might not like iron, like fairies), St John’s Wort
The botanical name for St. John’s Wort, hypericum perforatum, has several noted origins, all having similar meanings or references. Hypericum comes from the Greek word “hyperikon” which is broken down into hyper, meaning “over,” and eikon, meaning “image or apparition,” a reference to the belief that the herb was so obnoxious to evil spirits that even a whiff of it would cause them to disseminate.
you’re welcome

I’m totally cool with fairies though.

Maybe just keep the Exorcist playing on repeat so that the ghost or spirit or devil or whatever will know what could happen to it if it stays.
(I’ve never seen the movie, but assume they got the evil thing out of the green vomit spewing chick, yes?)
October 16th, 2013 at 1:22 pm
Yes, but it killed 2 priests and reeeeally messed up the carpeting and wallpaper.
I suggest getting a piano and tapping the highest note, repeatedly. Bill Murray said they hate that, in Ghostbusters. So it must be true.
October 17th, 2013 at 8:39 am
Ghostbusters is totally true. It’s gonna happen one day, and I’ll be prepared with a giant graham cracker and chocolate bar.

Haha I work in a VERY old hospital building and there is a museum full of creepy old medical equipment on the other side of my office wall. So much weird stuff happens in my (locked) office when I am not there… Totally haunted!
October 17th, 2013 at 8:40 am
I really want to visit your work now.
October 16th, 2013 at 2:51 pm
Good thing you made it there on time. My mom works at a clinic and the ghost(s) turned on the water and flooded the whole clinic.
You should leave a sign that reads “Please consider the enviorment when running water.”
October 16th, 2013 at 8:34 pm
I would tell your ghosty buddy that if it doesn’t stop you’ll put it up for another terrible Paranormal Activity movie.
October 16th, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Cake flavored vodka thank you. Not that you will be needing it in your current state anyway. Good luck with the ghosts
October 17th, 2013 at 8:42 am
I’m really missing blueberry margaritas and key lime pie martinis. I was getting excited that I have only a few months to go…then Kiefer informed me you can’t drink while breastfeeding. I may have cried.
October 16th, 2013 at 9:14 pm
EFFF THISSS!! I would be OUT! That stuff freaaakkss me. I call dibs on Esme!
October 17th, 2013 at 8:42 am
Then you would have cat twinsies!

Just loving you referenced Supernatural.
