OTHERWORLDLY HAPPENINGS

THIS HOUSE USED TO HAVE ALL KINDS OF GHOSTLY NOISES.

FOOTSTEPS COMING UP THE STAIRS, DOORS OPENING AND  

CLOSING. LOUD SOUNDS. RANDOM AS THEY WERE, IT COULD 

BE UNNERVING.

LOLA, OUR MAINE COON CAT, FIT RIGHT IN INTO OUR MYSTICAL

SURROUNDINGS. SHE WAS ALWAYS CHIRPING ANDD TRILLING.

WE HAVE BEEN AMAZED BY HEARING, WHAT SOUNDED LIKE

A "HUMAN" VOICE, SAY "I'M GREAT", SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW.

THE NEXT NIGHT, "I'M GOOD", THEN, "GO", ALSO A FEW TIMES.

"HELLO", WAS NEXT, TWICE. 

NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK, AS THE "VOICE" WAS SO DISTINCT

BUT SHE SPOKE RANDOMLY. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, SHE HAD

BEEN MAKING EERIE, OTHERWORLDLY SOUNDS IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE NIGHT.

IF YOU WERE OPEN TO METAPHYSICAL IDEAS, YOU MIGHT THINK

SHE WAS CHANNELING A SPIRIT OF SOME SORT. THIS SPECIAL 

FELINE IS NOW IN AN URN NEARBY...SHE LIVED A LONG LIFE

OF 19 YEARS.

 

                                                                WAS IT YOU?

WAS IT YOU WHEN THE RED LIGHT CAME ON, ON THE STOVE THAT HAD

BEEN UNPLUGGED FOR YEARS? WAS IT YOU WHO MADE THE SMOKE

DETECTORS GO OFF A NUMBER OF TIMES (NEVER BEFORE)? WAS IT YOU

WHO LEFT THE WHITE FEATHER ON THE CHAIR ON THE DECK THAT I

COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE, IN THE MIDDLE OF A SEAT ON A BLUE 

CHAIR? WAS IT YOU WHO TURNED THE TV ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

NIGHT? WAS IT YOU WHO RANG ONCE ON THE LANDLINE AT 1:30 AM?

WAS IT YOU WHO BROUGHT THE ORANGE ORBS TO ME AT 3AM? THEY

WERE HUGE, LIKE ON A TV SCREEN, THEN ZIGZAGED OUT OF SIGHT,

INTO A DARKNESS THAT OVERWHELMED ME.

I WANT YOU BACK...ALL THE OCCURRENCES THAT I MENTIONED 

WILL HAVE TO COMFORT ME IN THIS UNBEARABLE FEELING OF

LOSS.
