I had a poltergeist in my first apartment. Got up in the middle of the night to change my baby's diaper. As I stood next to the crib, a hand comes out from under the crib and grabs my right knee. I didn't see but sure did feel it. The hand was big and warm like a man's hand.
Well, I jumped back and just stood with my arms in the air surprised as hell. Other weird stuff happened like the door to the white cabinet that I kept canned goods in, just damn slammed shut! I had it wide open. I went over to it, opened and closed the door thinking maybe it was a spring or something. Could not duplicate how that door just slammed shut by itself. Well then I caught on to what was going on. I had a ghost.
So, I just told it that this apartment was not big enough for the both of us and he had to leave. And to stop pinching my baby! I figured if it was grabbing me by the knee then it was pinching her, making her cry out for no reason.
One evening while coming in from visiting my mother, all the windows and doors were closed so there was no reason for this but, there was a wind that blew by us that even blew my hair. I said to hubby "Did you feel that?" He responded "Yes I did. What was that?" I said "That was that ghost leaving." There was never no more trouble after that. I found out later that these types of poltergeist like to show up when there's a new baby in the house.
Same weird stuff when grand daughter was born. I had to come home from a travel nurse assignment to get rid of yet another ghost! I was told of foot steps coming up the steps in the middle of the night going in MY bedroom and slamming the door! They sure like to slam doors. I wasn't home. Was in Louisianna doing a travel nurse assignment. Was told of grandchild reaching up to some unseen thing as if it was trying to pick her up. They all said they were scared to death! LOL!!!! I put a stop to all that crap when I came home. I am the proud family ghost buster.
Came home from assignment, went immediately upstairs to their room and just looked. My eyesight was drawn to a black ceramic cat my daughter made in school some years before. "SO!, THAT'S where you're staying." I grabbed that black ceramic cat and through it out the back door over a hill. Never no more a problem after that. Spirits like to attach to objects. Everybody knows that, right? heheh.
Man, I could tell you stories of things I've seen and experienced that would make the hair on your neck stand straight out. Aaaaah yes, the good old days.
