I guess I'll try to summarize this as short as possible. As a child (Around 7 or 8) the only strange thing I can
remember ever happening to me was one day me and my brother saw a dark cape like object flowing around our window at our parents
house. He doesn't remember it now, but I do. I've always been very artistic. I work full time but on the side I'm and artist...wildlife,
cartoons etc. Last year my wife and me purchased a new house. After about a month strange things started happening. One night
when we both couldn't sleep she went into the extra bedroom. As I laid there I could here a t.v. playing. I thought it was
my wife having trouble sleeping. Then I had what I can only explain as a lucid dream or an OBE. I'm not really sure what it
was this is all new to me. Anyway the next day she and I talked and she had heard the t.v. as well and thought it was me.
Since then I have witnessed shadows pointing at different places in my house. Objects were being moved. Even one of my neighbors
had an experience the same night I did. My wife and me were getting ready for bed when we both heard a loud sound of glass
breaking. We found that a crystal heart had been broken for no apparent reason. I sounded like someone had hit it with a sledge
hammer, but it was still in it's original location. The next day I was talking to my neighbor telling him about it and he
told me about a crystal angel that had been broken the same night. It had been slung off the top of his refrigerator across
the room and broken. I went to his house and looked and you could see the dust ring where the angel had stood, but there were
no slide marks were it could have possibly vibrated off by accident. Since then I have actually seen an apparition. One night
while I was locking up the house. My wife had gotten into bed early with our dogs and had already fallen to sleep. I was checking
the doors when I walked into the bedroom and saw my oldest dog Sasha at the foot of the bed wagging her tail. I thought this
strange since my wife was snoring. Then as I walked completely into the room I saw a young girl with her hair pulled back
over her ear petting my dog. I would have thought I was crazy if it weren't for my dog interacting with this child. When I
saw her she looked up at me and gasped then disappeared. There have been many strange occurrences to numerous to recall. My
brother- in- law has even called me the five-second psychic. One night I had painted a map of a hunting club boundaries for
my Brother-in-law. He came over to look at it and wanted to help paint. We were using paint markers and he wanted to ad his
personal touch. While we were both standing there I got light headed and the room started to spin. I saw him take the top
off the marker and ink spill everywhere. This had not happened yet and as he started to really take the top off I shouted
NO! but it was too late. He still wants to know how I knew he was going to do that and so would I. Anyway that's why I'm here
now. To try to understand the world and the things that happen around us.
