A bird haunting...not for faint of heart..

[duluthralphie]

I will be starting a thread on this.. BUT I wanted to really thank my friends here for buying Powerball tickets and upping the ante to the point I think is the amount I deserve to win...

I have purchased the winning numbers for Wednesday already. I do not want any of you to waste any more money buying losing tickets.


Thank you all for contributing to my richly deserved high class retirement.

Ralphie, that's entirely too much money for one man/family. I hope there are at least 50 winning tickets.

Unless that man is me.

This is a true story and it is ongoing.

I suggest you not read this if you are at all afraid of ghosts.

My DW and I are being haunted. We know it.

Some relative, friend or worse yet enemy is haunting us in a reincarnated form.

The person haunting us has come back as a chickadee. A male chickadee. Now I know
some of you are thinking there is no way a chickadee can be a threat. Let me tell you, you are wrong!

We have two windows in our dining room, one on the west, a small older style window, and a large picture window with sliders on the north. The chickadee will hit the window on the west and try to sit on the horizontal diveder between the upper and lower windows. He sits there and pecks at the window. Staring at us while we eat, have coffee or work on computers. It is unnerving. At first we thought it was cute.

After we failed to be suitably unnerved, he moved to the front/north window. He hits the window and sits of the bottom sash and looks in at us. Worse yet, I have a wire hanging about a foot out from the window all the way across the window that I hang hummingbird feeders on, the bird will fly to the wire, and if we do not pay attention to it, it flies into the window making a thud and flying back to the wire to stare at us.

This has been going on all day long for over a week now. I thought it was not happy with its feed and wanted something else, I ran to the store and got it more variety of feed for it. I must have not gotten the right thing as it not only kept up the haunting but has increased his activity.

Yesterday, we decided to take grandpa naps in our bedroom. We have a large picture window/slider that looks to the east into the woods in our bedroom. The bird saw us in the bedroom and started hitting that window, sitting on the screen and pecking the window. Did you know it is impossible to sleep when a bird is pounding on the window?

This is when my wife an I at the same time decided the bird was the reincarnation of someone we ****** off somehow. We are now afraid to close our eyes in the bedroom. We are wondering if we need an exorcism.

BUT it got even worse, last night we went to watch TV and the bird attacked us in there. We have a north and east window in the living room. He attacked us in both rooms. He sat on the screen and stared at us for over an hour, occasionally hitting the window.

Whatever room we are in he hits and stares at us. What do we do? How do we stop this? We have thought he might want in, but are afraid to let him in incase he is a vampire chickadee. We do not want to let him in, go to sleep and wake up dead by pecking. Help us!

Happen on your original post, I can sort of relate to your experience....The past couple of weeks we've had this male sparrow (Hilo, HI) come tapping on a bedroom window. Tapping so loud we can hear him from the living room, afraid he'll hurt his beak! No idea what it's all about but he doesn't stay more than half an hour or so. We have no idea what it's all about. Haven't seen him this week, maybe he found what he was looking for. Maybe he's watching out for you?

We have a superstition here, if a big black moth shows up, it's someone (deceased) visiting. A week after my Dad passed one showed up, I wasn't home & my Hubby told him I was out shopping with my Mom, it flew away. Days later it came back, this time he hung out a few days, of course I talked to him. He left, comes to visit once in a while. It's comforting for me.

Haven't read through all your thread, jumped to the end and glad to hear you all playing the lottery. Got my Daughter (VA) to buy some tickets for us, just fun. Good luck to you, as for your Chickadee, I hope he's there to look out for you all.

Ralphie, if a big black moth shows for you -------------------- RUN!

You jumped to the end of this thread without reading the whole thing?

You saved yourself a whole hour and a half for more worthwhile ventures, I am impressed.

Sourland, I have been thinking about what you said about too much for anyone person. You are correct.

If you should win, hand over 800 million to me and I will distribute the money to others for you. I only make this offer as a way to relief you of the burden and displeasure of having all this money...


I am like a saint but I still am breathing.

I was just looking at the home page, I wonder why this page is never listed as the most posts??


What can be more timely and important than hints on avoiding chickadees and the dangers of a "unearthly creature" in our midst?


I sometime do not understand the world...

The limited number of posts is also beyond my comprehension. Much about this world I do not understand. Where are peoples' priorities?

When they are locking their doors, and afraid to get out of their cars, they will have wished they followed this thread!

I have done my best to warn them.

Jesus jumping Christ on a cracker! I can't believe I spent over an hour of my life reading this thread.

Here is an example of someone not willing to look the dangers of chickadee, and instead considers learning about them a waste if time.

I know how he feels, I sat through an entire quarter of a "Statistics" class, The professor told me it would be the most important class I would ever take and would change my life forever. I do not consider it a waste, I am waiting for the life changing event this class brings about to occur with excitement and a little apprehension.

It has been 45 years since that class, so I assume the change will be occurring anytime now.


BYW I got post number 500 a sure sign I will be 1.5 billion richer tomorrow night!
