I definitely believe!
It isn't always a bad thing though. I have had a few experiences and they have been positive.
On Wednesday night, I was in the bed with Lazarus (my little fur monster) and he was laying on my leg dozing. All of a sudden he jumped up and ran to the end of the bed growling. I'd ever heard him growl before! He started growling at the air. There was nothing there. I looked for a spider or something but there wasn't anything. He started barking and I picked him up and he was stiff as a board and shaking. I couldn't calm him. I walked him out of the room and around the house until he felt better then back in the bed and he went off again.
I moved in the house in September, 2010 and sometimes I feel like someone is in the room when I turn off the light. I frequently get up and turn the light on again but I do not feel uneasy at all, more so curious. My house was newly constructed so I don't think it is someone from before, I think it is my husband who passed away.
I got a pic off the nightstand and showed it to him and said, "It's ok Lazzy. It's Daddy! And I kissed the pic and said, "See?? Daddy's sweet, Lazzy. Give him kisses." He didn't give any kisses but he sniffed the pic and calmed down. Last night he kept going to the end of the bed and staring but no growling and no barking.
Who knows? I like the idea of our loved ones watching over us. I don't think I would be fond of a stranger though. |
