Update On Someone In My House; Video Of My Basement Noises

[coolconfidentme]

Oh wow! This sent chills through my body!
My aunt had a cabin and one day when we were little, my sis, cousins and I were contacting the dead in one of the bedrooms. Just as I said that I was done and it was stupid, a piece of ceramic from around the light fell down and came inches from my head. My cousin also said the water turned on once when she was the only one in the cabin. Those are my only experiences and there could be a rational explanation as to why those things happened, but you never know!

It's weird, I know. I live in a small town & everyone knows the history of *stuff* that goes on there. I always try to explain things away, but somethings I cannot.

This year I have decided to do something about it. I decide to turn it into a haunted house for Halloween. (You though daycare was bad with regs!) I currently use it to store stuff from my rental properties. It will be a nice change making money from the building.

Look at that. I was playing around with my computer and this thing that I have on here called a YouCam lets you record continuously if you want, or when it senses motion. I had no idea this was on here.

I'll set this up overnight in my living room and see if it captures anything weird.

Ah I'm so excited to see if your computer catches any movement!

I just saw that my camcorder that I was testing by seeing how long it recorded before turning itself off allowed itself to record 1 hour and 56 minutes worth of the 2 hours that were available and I happened to be walking toward it as it turned itself off. I saw the red light on the front of the camera go out. So it did let itself record longer than it did over night, but it still turned itself off 4 minutes early.

I owned a townhouse for 10 years in Laguna Beach. I just sold it last year but had always wanted to get a camera up the fireplace because of weird happenings there. We actually had the California Ghost Hunters http://california-ghosthunters.com come in 2007 and they said there was a ghost of a girl there. We had an earlier thread on the subject: https://www.daycare.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48590

I had the place remodeled a couple years later and the events stopped for a while. The look of the place after the remodel was much brighter. I had some friends stay there for a few weeks and the events started up again. I hardly stayed in the place but the times I did there was a lot of strange things going on. My friends were convinced after their time spent there.

I've found that after I update something or make any changes in my home whatever it is that's here starts being more active... with full force. I don't think my particular spirits like change.

I wonder if us rearranging furniture and making changes in the house coincides with the things happening here. I'll have to pay attention to that.

Annnnnd I shouldn't have read through that thread you posted Michael... I'm officially scared ::

Michael,

I just watched the videos of your haunting. I definitely would have tried to get a look up the fireplace! I bet there's some sort of proof of the girl's death in it. I actually finally got the courage up to call a paranormal investigator. He didn't answer the phone or call me back though. I'm taking that as a sign not to have them involved.

So now I have recorded my house in the basement, on the main floor, and on the top floor and haven't caught anything. We also haven't heard or seen anything lately. Like I said, though, things happen randomly. They might happen one night and not happen again for 6 months, or they might start happening every night for weeks at a time then all of the sudden stop. I give up trying to record things right now. I am running out of batteries for the little flip video recorder! And to use the computer, you can't hide the computer at all. You have to leave the computer open and the screen shows that it is recording and is all lit up. I think I will have to wait until I can afford security cameras.

Thanks for everyone helping me with this. I'll let you know if anything else happens.

I'd be careful if there really is an entity living in your home. They can follow you to a new home.

Unregistered,

That's something that I have thought about. I have had paranormal experiences since I was 17/18 years old. I don't know if a specific entity follows me from home to home or if I just attract them or what. It doesn't seem like the same entity though. In each house, it's been a completely different experience.

I would take a piece of very thick fabric and tape it over the computer screen to block the screen light.. leaving ONLY the little camera area exposed... it shouldn't even be visible when your done. That should work

I would take it as a sign he is busy.

(I called the HVAC guy & it took a few calls for him to get back to me. He was swamped with business.)
