Blogging lull
I have noticed that most of the blogs i read are slacking on the posts, myself included. Just not in the blogging mood i guess. Nothing cool or exciting has happened lately. Keep checking back, hopefully i will have something GOOD to blog about soon.

Haunted House (for Katie who asked!)
A couple weeks back i mentioned i was at my lake house, which just happens to have a ghost. Believe or not this story is creepy!
I was house sitting back in February, and my friend Alyssa (who's parents own the house) was staying with me. Her and her friend went out to a party on a Saturday night and i was expecting them home sometime Sunday morning. I should note that I figured they would be crashing at some random persons house and would want to head out early, like i often did in college! :P Ok so Sunday morning, I was in the shower upstairs in the master bathroom. I had the door to the bathroom shut but the bedroom door was open. As i was drying off, i heard a cough similar to Alyssa's right outside the bathroom door. I assumed it was her looking for me. Then i heard voices or someone talking on a cell phone out in the hallway, again i assumed it was Alyssa, it sound just like her. So i finished up in the bathroom, headed into the bedroom and shut the door so i could get dressed. When i went downstairs, there was no one home, no car in the driveway and Alyssa's stuff was untouched. Call me crazy, but i KNOW i heard something.
Why a ghost you ask... well here's the rest of the story. I used to baby sit for Alyssa and her younger brother when they were young (now 23 and 17) and we experienced an incident of a missing slipper. Alyssa's slipper went missing for months. We searched HIGH and LOW, every corner of the house and could not find the slipper. We blamed John but at 6-7 years old he wasn't a master liar so we knew he was telling the truth when he said he didn't hide it. We also tried to blame the cleaning people.... After months of the slipper missing, it appeared in a spot that we had already checked more than once.
Still not convinced? Alyssa has heard and seen things in the same room where i heard voices. The house was built in the late 1800's so it IS possible someone died there.
While i was house sitting in March, i woke up to the bed i was sleeping in shaking. I know i was awake so it wasn't part of a dream. It felt sort of like what i would think a vibrating bed feel like! :) There is also frequent "scratching" in the walls. We used to say it was squirrels or mice running in the walls but they recently had all holes filled so it's unlikely any mice or squirrels can get in.
On the final night at the house this past March, Alyssa was home with me again and while she was in the same shower I mentioned above, she heard something get picked up and drop back down. When she came downstairs after showering, she asked if i had been up there (i had not been). She said she also heard music.......
I think we need to call the people of Paranormal State.
