Ok, call me crazy, sensitive, whatever. I've been hearing and seeing things since I was a kid. I grew up at the bottom of the hill from a good size cemetary and it's where we played all the time. When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to "see" things so I kind of pushed it all away. Now that I am older, I have allowed those gifts to resurface as they will.
The last house my hubby and I lived in was also at the bottom of a hill from a cemetary. I found my wonderful Aussie dog, Spook up there when someone threw her away. It was soon after she arrived that I started seeing and hearing things again.
In that old house "lived" the lady whose husband had built it. She was my landlords mother. I knew when she was there because the cat would freak out. I was fine with her, well most of the time. Once I was in bed and I felt something set on the bed. You could actually see an indentation in the sheets like something was there. I told her, "You are welcome to stay in the house as long as you like, but you aren't sleeping in my bed!" With that, whatever was on the bed got up and left!!
This house/land has a ghost too. He kind of comes and goes. It's a new subdivision but the land was used as hunting and farm land for years. He looks like an old time gangster. You know the suit, hat, stance. One day, I heard (got at message put in my head) "Capone" When I acknowledged this name, I stopped seeing him around all the time. Dunno what he's got to do with Capone but I think he's in these woods/fields some place.
Dropped a fellow teacher off at her house one night. She was telling me that the house was 100+ years old and that they kept seeing a "man". Right then I got another picture in my head. Man, not very large, dark complection, dark eyes and hair. "Swarthy" (sp?) from the 1890's setting in a chair in hall. She said yes that is where they saw him. The name Simon popped in to my head. Unfortunately she hasn't done any research on the house to see if the name has anything to do with it.
