Sometimes an electrical storm can cause strage things to happen to your computer and TV.

I remember I got into it with Bobfrmacctg back on Ojar. He was going on about books flying off of shelves and strange noises and drafts, and I provided logical explanations for all of them but he wouldn't accept them.
"When you hear hoofbeats in the forest, don't think of zebras".
Meaning that if a remote disappears off a table, it's probably the kids, if your young son says "he says hello" it's probably imagination, and if pictures are crooked it's probably gravity.
Not the undead returning for a showdown.

There is actually something written into computers that when certain parts are failing, it plays certain songs. If I get a chance I will see if I can find it. Pictures do get crooked - particularly as things settle as you settle in. Particularly if the kids bounce around a lot, or temperatures change. Kids DO talk to themselves, and others (real and imaginary). Electricity does odd things, including making you on edge - dry climates especially can have a static build up that feels like just before a thunderstorm. Other places too, but not as often. Kids react to that, too - makes them squirrely or cross. I am not saying your ex DIDN'T visit - because I leave room for doubt in my own mind, I just try to go through logical stuff first. Plus it is easier to sleep at night if you don't dwell! Shey

Well, I am a major skeptic myself. I look for the logical explanation first.
The problem with the picture frame theory presented is that one or two frames will be crooked and then the next time you walk by they will be straight and a couple of others will be crooked. I am not the only one who has seen this, and it was brought to my attention by someone else.
I do live 3 miles from a major airport, and 5 miles from an Air Force Base, that can explain the electrical stuff.
An autistic child doesn't do imaginary play. He doesn't speak in full sentences as it is, mainly babble, and we have been working on getting him to put two words toghether for months will minimal luck.
Someone please offer me a reasonable explanation to things being on the floor in rooms they don't belong in when they are up out of reach of everyone including me (I'm short and need a step ladder to reach the top shelf).

Vibrations from the airplanes knock things off of shelves and cause pictures to become crooked and then straight.
I would go for that theory before thinking ghosts are messing with your head.

Do you believe in these kinds of experiences? I would normally say no, but after the experiences I had last night I'm not so sure what to believe. When I was about 4 my family and I moved into a house in a nice neighborhood with lots of families and kids. When we first moved in my mother complained of cold spots in the house... especially in the den and my baby brothers room. I played in the den all the time. Within a couple of months, I was telling my mother really crazy stories, things I could not have made up, and when my mother would ask me where I heard these things I would reply "the lady told me." At first my mother just thought it was my wild immagination, but then I kept telling my mother things like "tell the children she is sad... she is so sad mommy, you have to tell them." My mom started becomming more and more alarmed, because this behavior showed no signs of stopping. My mother began waking up in the middle of the night for no reason felling anxious. Our dog barked angrily at what appeared to be nothing. My mother walked into my baby brothers room and found him reaching for someone to take him out of his crib, but no one was there... and my mother had just entered the room. My mother became so alarmed that she began asking the neighbors about the family that lived in our home before us. She found out that the family moved out because the mother had died in the house of pnemonia and the family was so devistated that they moved. My mom called UCLA's department of paranormal studies. They told my mother to walk around the house and say "leave her alone." Eventually, my stories about the lady stopped. I can't even remember this happening. I was told these stories by my mom and family members when I was much older.

they say to not be afraid of the dead, be afraid of the living.

Talking to the dead is no big deal. Getting them to talk back...there's the rub.

I believe that the spirits of those who passed on can sometimes return to earth to visit, but as time goes on they have less and less desire to do so. I don't mean for malicious intentions, but simply because they may have a hard time letting go.
The previous owner of my house passed away in it. The first few months after moving in, I sometimes found lights on in his workbench area that I know I didn't turn on. I thought it was his way of checking up on the house and making sure it was being taken care of.
Just what I believe -- I fully understand if some of you think this line of thinking is crazy. I think the world is full of possibilities that we may never understand.

My mother will smell her mother sometimes when walked around in her own home. My grandmother never visited this home, but always wanted to.
My grandmother-in-law died in the house we now own and it doesn't bother me. We haven't had any odd occurances though.
I did live in a house as a kid that had a fewpeople die on the property and as a 13-15 year old would see "someone" walking from the 2nd floor stair to the door into the dining room. I was told to never speak of it or they would have me commited. LOL

I think the world is full of possibilities that we may never understand. I completely agree. We are bodies of energy, doesn't that make it possible to leave energy behind? I know that there are other reasons to explain this, but isn't it magical that this unexplainable occurrence took place where this deceased man spent probably the best hours of his life? People disagree with this all the time. The would rather believe that there is an obvious scientific explanation for these occurrences. I believe that these people's third eyes are closed.

on guam there's a supernatural "myth" called the "Taotao'mona". It is believed that this "spirit" are our ancestors living throughout our jungles and very very old trees, and if messed with, something would happen to you.
call me crazy, but i believe it.
google it if you dare.
