Ode to the Old Abode?! Actually...........Good Riddance!!! My husband went to the other side of the veil 10 years ago. I could not afford to maintain the house on Wal-Mart wages so I put the house on the market. I thought it would be cool to build a tiny house and even went to Texas to learn how to build a Dome House. I soon realized that zoning laws, building codes and financial realities rendered a dome house not very practical. Wal-Mart and I parted company. A friend who founded and managed a recovery house called me and asked to help her out temporarily. The women in the recovery house told a new employee about a ghost in the house. The new employee immediately quit. My friend needed help fast. The women who had recently been released from prison were training in culinary skills. I drove them to the site and picked them up. When we returned, there were women who were smudging the place with sage wands and ringing bells. The women in recovery were amused. One declared that they were having a seance in the house. Actually it's a Native American ritual for clearing away negativity and apparently ghosts. I am not particularly afraid of ghosts but I would have handled it in a similar way. Maybe sit down and have a conversation with the ghost. When my friend resigned from her position, I really didn't want to stay but temporary jobs don't always work out to be so temporary. Especially when my house sold with a two week escrow. Oh what fun. I started looking for an apartment. I answered an ad for a nearby apartment. I mentioned to the landlord where I worked. I worked at a recovery house for female addicts who just got out of jail. The landlord blurts out "Are you an addict?" Frequently recovered addicts do work in these type of places but my history is alcoholism. I told him that I have been sober way longer than I was in active alcoholism. When I arrived to the office for the apartment building, he asked "Have you ever relapsed?" Dah! What alcoholic hasn't relapsed. Yeah! 37 years ago. Next he asked about my criminal record. Indeed, I have a 1982 Disturbing the Peace conviction. He concluded that it must have been a protest. Nope, I was an exotic dancer and pleaded it down. Flustering, "Oh, That's Cool!" I wasn't sure that I was going to get the apartment but I did. The apartments below was an old Hospital for Confederate Soldiers during the Civil War. My apartment building resided on a Confederate Encampment. I have certainly sensed residual energy or maybe a ghost or two hanging around the building. They certainly don't scare me but I am sure glad that they didn't follow me to the new home front .   Abracadabra  |

My 1982 Disturbing The Peace conviction did not keep me out of the New Abode either. I didn't mind the ghosts but I am sure glad to get away from that toxic landlord and the problematic neighbor. Seriously I really believe that departed souls have better things to do that to float around scaring people. Abracadabra

MY LAST APARTMENT IN NICE WAS BUILT OVER AN ANCIENT CEMETERY SO WE DISCOVERED AND ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS WAS SURE IT WAS HAUNTED. NOW I LIVE IN ANOTHER TOWN AND MY STREET HAS A SMALL CHAPEL DEDICATED TO SOLDIERS WHO DIED IN A BATTLE WAY BACK IN THE 16TH CENTURY. SO FAR I HAVE SEEN NO GHOSTS BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME.
