Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I went to see my son Jeremy in Virginia about 6 weeks ago for a few days. He said “I didn’t tell you about our ghost.” He and his girlfriend were standing in the kitchen one day talking in front of the stove, when it sounded like someone threw a glass from across the room and they both heard the loud crashing of glass on the cupboard next to them… only there was no broken glass anywhere, not in the kitchen, around the other side of the wall in the bathroom or in the cupboards in either room.

On one of the nights I was there, he and I had been watching a movie, I on a couch on one side of the room, he on another on the other side. After the movie, I got up to use the bathroom and put a big ashtray on the coffee table in front of him. We both left the room, and when I came back to the living room he was just coming back in too. He said “that darn cat must have knocked the ashtray off the table.” It was upside down on the pale tan carpet. He picked the butts out of the 8 inch diameter mess and said “I think I’ll tell Trudy I’ll vacuum that up in the morning, I don’t want to get it out now.”

In the morning she was coming out of their bedroom as I was coming out of the guest room, he as still in bed. We went to the living room and she said “he must have vacuumed the ashtray up last night, I thought he was going to leave it until this morning.” He just entered and said “I didn’t vacuum it up,” she said she didn’t, and I didn’t. He said maybe the dog licked it up, but we protested that it would have been a real mess and there was NO sign of any ashes on the floor at all. Jeremy mentioned it must be a clean ghost so it could stay,  but now he may be having second thoughts.

Last week I called him, and she was having someone come over a sprinkle holy water because their bed caught fire with about 2 inch flame, and they don’t smoke in there, they don’t have an electric blanket or mattress pad. She also swears she heard someone whisper her name in the kitchen when she was home alone. And the last one, she was in their computer room one day when a spare TV in there came on by itself, volume up all the way, and on a TV channel, when they only use it for the Play Station, and sound down low.
