Okay I hesitate to relate this story b/c it sort of just happend yesterday. This thread got me to talking with my son about all this stuff. He has always maintained that when he was younger and had his bedroom on the thrid floor there was a woman who he would see. He would call me in the middle of he night telling me the woman was in his room. I told him it was just the moonlight etc. He has for YEARS maintained the there was someone there. We do hear what sounds like footsteps over our heads at various times during the day or night. He insists that once the woman came toward him when he was till in the crib with her hand out. He has related the story many times over the years . But still ....
So yesterday I tell him that when we go to the lighthouse in St Augustine that maybe we should bring a digital recorder. He looks at me funny and says I already have something . Now mind you my husband is away on business. L
Here is the story. About a month ago my husband was away and my son said he heard his name being called. I was asleep and he woke me up and said he heard the footsteps. I told him it was just the wood creaking (he is 19). I vaguely realize he went up to the 3rd floor but Idid not know what he was doing.
Fast forward to yesterday when I tell him we should bring the recorder to St. Augustine. He says, " I have something I recorded about a month ago when dad was away." Okay so I cannot even begin to tell you how freaked out I was! He asks if I want to hear it. I say NO. But really I figure he is just fooling with me so when he insists I say FINE! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hear him on the recorder and under his voice I hear what sounds like an old woman saying, " Help me" . I cannot put into words the chills b/c she sounded distressed but still I was not sure if he was fooling me. I do not think he did it b/c I could hear him and her at the same time. He said I told you there was someone up there. Well, my husband is away again and I sat up all last night! I do not know why b/c I have lived in the house for 29 years and I really think that if she is up there she means no harm.
Oh I forgot to tell you the history of the house. It was an estate sale and the man from the bank knew the family that owned it. He told me that the woman who owned it had had her sister move in when her sister's husband died. When we looked at the house there was a bedroom set in the room on the third floor where we hear all the footsteps.
Okay so I do not know why I even wrote this b/c it really freaked me out again. Wait that's not true I have been freaked out since he told me yesterday. I told my son NOT to do it again and if he did to use a prayer of protection AND to tell her to go to the light.
I am so freaked
If all else fails, have a drink. Then repeat the other two steps.
