Angela, I'm wondering if Remy is the type of child upon whom everyone keeps remarking how loving she is? Is she known as a "peacekeeper", often intervening on behalf of an underdog? I feel that Remy is extra special. Sometimes needy, so called "dark" energies like to latch on to bright, shining lights like Remy. Not to scare you! All you ever have to do is tell them to leave...just as Aunt Faye did. Bella had a great point, it probably does result from a past life connection that Remy had. I know that most people in the Western world do not believe in past lives, and I understand and respect that. But, I do believe in them.
Bella, since you asked...
Just a couple more stories.
The first couple of days after we moved into this home, I would be in the kitchen, unpacking, washing, and putting away stuff. I heard a man sigh a deep, exasperated sigh, a couple of feet behind me. I had my hands in dishwater, and, thinking it was my husband sighing, I said, "What're you sighing about, sad sack?" Silence. I turned around and no one was there. I grabbed a towel and walked through the house, looking for my husband. I found him out in the
front yard. The kitchen, where I heard the sigh, is in the very
rear of the house.
The next day, I was again, at the sink, and heard a man clear his throat, as if trying to get my attention. Very distinct and clear. My husband was gone to the store, and I was the only one in the house. (Only he and I live here, alone)
Several months after moving in, I was in a spiritual chatroom, and this man from Wales started saying, "Who here found a dead bird outside their door this morning." Well, I had indeed found one that very morning!
He was a very accurate (scarily accurate) psychic, and said he had some information for me. He said that we had a girl spirit residing with us, and he described some things going on around us that I hadn't given too much thought to, like feeling someone tickling or poking my legs whenever I was busy cooking or cleaning, or walking into my closet and thinking that things looked out of place. He said that she is playful and is always snatching at our clothes because she thinks it's funny to see us look around like "huh?". He claimed that she was going in my closet and trying on my clothes because they seemed strange and funny to her.
I'm very open minded, but I still wonder about that one, and would completely laugh it off, if it weren't for the fact that I had indeed been looking around in my closet and thinking, "hmmm..I don't remember leaving that there!". He claims that she died in a horrible fire around 1875. There have been several occasions when I asked my husband, "Do you smell smoke?" And I would walk all through the house, making sure nothing was burning. I finally *got it* that she was probably just around me during those times. It would really overwhelm me, to the point of me coughing and going outside to try and get fresh air. By the way, our house has never burned down. The psychic claimed that it was a large house that was on the same parcel of land where ours now stands. I haven't been able to figure out a way to verify this, historically. I've asked a few people, but none have heard of a fire around 1875, here.
Our insurance agent was here, finalizing some life insurance papers for us, and he began, out of the blue talking about a campground being haunted. He became embarrassed and I told him not to worry, that I believed him, because I thought we had "activity", here at home. When he asked me to detail it to him, as I was telling him about some of the stuff I've mentioned here, the door to our sunroom slammed closed, on its own. He jumped up, grabbed his folders and said, "Well! That means it's time for me to go!"
As it is for me, as well.

We then compared notes, and figured out we were seeing the same being. I was telling a friend about the "priest" and expressed confusion as to why he was coming to see us non-Catholics, and my friend said, "Duh! He's coming to visit the patients, like a good priest should!" And, she's right, I believe. We love him and welcome him here, now.
