Maybe! How big? Where is it? And do you think the neighbor will be gone by then?

LOL...sure hope so.​

Hopefully he takes the EPO seriously. The only reason mine worked was my ex was sitting in prison 5 hours away in another state. His parents wouldn't even bail his butt out. THANK GOD! Had he been in the same state, he may have been out. Scared for mine and my daughter's life. He had a knife to my throat the day before he landed himself in jail. Luckily, Virginia is tougher on crimes involving kids than NC. At least on paper. He was sent back to NC on probation and back to his ways. But the day he was released, I packed a large truck and high-tailed it outta there! Only atty knew where we went and he was divulging any info to anyone!

Glad they nabbed him. Hopefully he rots there. The neighborhood will be safe for now!

Scary stuff about him shooting out back with the kiddos down range. Wish the cops would have done something the first time you called. A warning "of next time" could be too late

The only thing a woman can do with a man like that is high-tail and make him the "ex." Did it myself years ago and never looked back. I stood and took what he did, but when he switched to my kids, that was it. All he saw was a dust trail when I lit out. I found the kindest and sweetest man here in KY and I am not ever letting him go. I had 3 kids and he had 2 so we made a sort of "Brady Bunch" if anyone is old enough to remember that show.

Now the house? Well I'm sort of partial to my neighbors here out in Green county. One is on the other side of about 25 acres of pasture, and the other is an old cemetary. The cemetary is closest and if they get noisy I'll know it's time to leave.

Hi all! New to the board; just joined last night. Someone was nice enough to tell me about the Kentucky people thread. We live in Louisville, and have 2 rhode island reds, 2 dominecker (sp), and just got 2 golden comets yesterday. We just have them for the wonderful eggs! Also raise and show mini-lop rabbits; and have 2 pygmy goats, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a fish as pets.

You sound like us. When my now-ex landed himself in jail, that was finally my chance to escape. Got my girl and left. I could foresee him turning against her, but he never did. It was a matter of time. I found the sweetest, kindest man in KY, too! LOL I could totally do without HIS ex, though. What a crackpot! But he had two girls, I had one. We've since had 2 more girls. 5 in all. We're not so much the Brady Bunch, but more of the His, Mine and Ours. As for the Brady Bunch reference, I can tell you which of our kids are Marsha, Jan and Cindy! LOL

Now, I have the bestest ex ever! The root of his problems was alcohol. That got the best of him. Even after being diagnosed with cirrhosis and months in the hospital, he was released to finish out his days. Upon his arrival at his parent's house, he said he thought he was going to live and asked for a beer. He passed away a month after his hospital release. He bothers no one now. His family has tried to make contact recently and I'm not sure I want any of that.

Your cemetery comment cracked me up. Perhaps because I've seen Poltergeist a few times recently with my littlest one (she likes scary movies! LOL). I'm with you though. I'd have to move. DH says when he dies he wants to be buried out on our farm. I asked him "And you expect us to LIVE there, too????" Keep in mind I'm a Halloween baby and like a good horror movie or haunted house, but I'm not sure I'm wanting to live with dead people!

I have before - my NC neighbor had her parents buried on her property. Her parents worked the land we lived on. Once I was "single", I started seeing a man ghost in the house. I felt at peace with him there though. He'd watch my daughter sleep, or stand in the doorway while I rocked her. A few times he was cooking something at the stove. It was the craziest thing I ever experienced, but he was so peaceful. I wonder if the current owners have experienced him.

Now you sound like me. The little cemetary was the original resting place of a particular Irish family. One couple had 5 or 6 stillborn children in a row and buried them all facing our house. This was in the 1800s. We heard childrens laughter well before we had grandchildren here. Doors would be opened though no one was at the door, things you just set down would move and you would find them in places impossible to have mistakenly placed them, like taped up boxes. This proved my point when we moved here about spirits. All of us went swimming in the river on a hot day. My daughter took her horrid mint green suit off and left it drying over a chair in the kitchen. It was gone the next morning and none of us could find it. We still weren't fully unpacked from buying this place and moving here. About 2 weeks later we opened a "kitchen" box, well taped to keep silverware from sliding out in transit. There, in the middle mind you, not on an end where it could have been slipped in a prank, was her folded swimsuit. No mistaking that horrible color and we KNEW she'd worn it. We've accepted the "kids" ever since. Kids gotta play so we don't mind.

Crazy! I figure if they aren't doing any harm, then let them be

My husband doesn't believe in spirits at all. He never experienced the kind man ghost while we were dating. He only appeared when I was home alone. He just made me feel at peace and happy he was there. I'd never seen a photo of my neighbor's father, but that was my suspicion. Who ever he was while alive, I believe he was a kind hearted man.

Oh! So then I moved to Ohio and bought a little, old 1930s cape cod home. In 1970, someone built an addition. Very questionable construction. LOL Anyways, I often would walk to the back of the house (the bathroom and my daughter's room was the addition, so plenty of reason to be back there) and smell the very fresh and distinct smell of cigar smoke. I don't smoke. The smell wasn't there all the time to make me believe something had that smell in it permanently. I could only smell in that vicinity. I figured it was a spirit. Perhaps there used to be a porch there and the gentleman (assuming it was a man) would sit out back and smoke it.

My dad experienced it too. Not every time he came over, just some of the time. Just like me. I didn't smell it daily. My brother, being the freak show watcher that he is, remains a skeptic. My sister was intrigued and would drop by at random times whenever she was around and she never experienced it. We had all our houses keyed the same so there was never an issue of not getting to a sibling or parent's home to tend to animals, pick up something, etc. So family was always trying to catch my ghost in the act.

Well, as I mentioned, the home was very old. Not insulated. No shower (only a frigidly cold tub). So I remodeled the bathroom. I smelled the cigar smoke up until I tore out the wall separating the bathroom from the hallway. It's as if I disturbed him and he left or he went on to the afterlife (whatever that may be). I hope he's finally at rest.

Related or not, I found the most intriguing things in the walls. An old pharmaceutical/medicine bottle. But most favorite find was a pencil drawing of a battleship, dated 1933. I was able to make out the name and did some internet searches. He was a former serviceman with the Army or Navy. His wife was still alive at the time and living near my grandmother. I had all intentions of getting connected with her to give her the picture, but it crumpled

I was heartbroken. Then I moved shortly after that and just never had the opportunity to touch base with the surviving family. I wanted to learn more about the man who served our country and the people who used to live there. It may have explained the cigar smoke!
