Mary, my heart would have been pounding in my ears if I heard a conversation in my home in the middle of the night! Oh my, you must have been worried! Glad it was "only" the TV. Both times!
I notice no one has asked WHY you have a sword? WHY you had 3 of them?
My last microwave oven took to turning itself on now and then. THAT was worrisome, unplugged it and bought a new one lickety split.
I had an old refrigerator that did that, the first model ever invented by GE. I unplugged it and it still ran. That really freaked out a friend of mine. That was, oh, 13 years ago or so and she still talks about it.Quote:

Then it turned on again by itself, then off, then on, then off, etc. It did this in rapid fire and I just stood there and watched. (No cats in sight to blame in on.) This went on for a good 10 seconds or so. So that's 3 separate TV's now that there are hinky things going on. Maybe I do have a spook! :eek:
I hope there isn't any **** in your home. I wouldn't like to speak it up. They might be reading. They can appear and disappear whenever they want. :eek:*GULP* I don't wanna say the word. yalalalala!!! can't hear!!! :D Its true:):eek::eek:
Don't rule it out. Ya' never know. :pQuote:

Oh dear.....it's getting closer.......already in your bedroom.Quote:

Ok, you're freaking me out again, Wom. And there's nothing under my bed. I Swiffer daily and my bedroom has hardwood floors. As for the electrical work, I had a lot corrected that was bad just a few months ago but, as you say, Ellie, it's just the TV's.
Mary I am so glad it was just the TV. I too would go out with a weapon and then I would however need to change my panties for sure.
So glad you are ok.
Hmmm ... Eve knows how to turn the TV on and off :rolleyes::p:D???? Any four pawed cuties that have mastered the remote in your house?
I'm just seeing this thread now for the first time.
Oh, how scary that would be! I'm so glad it was just the TVs acting up. I hope this problem will be easy to figure out and resolve.
I'm also wondering just WHY you happen to keep a sword handy.. 3 swords originally.. !

I went to church this afternoon and went to tea w/a friend afterwards, during which she said "I have a message for you". I said "Oh? From?" and she said "Helen". I said "Helen who? I don't know any Helen". She said "Yes, you do. Helen! Your friend Helen!" I said "Helen W?" and she said "Well, I don't know her last name". (This friend met Helen approximately 20 years ago. Helen passed on in '02. I'm rather iffy on the year.) Helen was my good buddy and we did a lot of things together. She was 83 when she died. She was so joyful most of the time but when she got mad at her husband George, I'd tease her and say "Uh oh! Mt. St. Helen is about to erupt again!" and that would make her laugh and she'd snap out of her bad mood. No one else knew that I called her that; it was an inside joke between her and me.
I said to my friend "Ok, what's the message?" She said "Helen came to me in a dream and at first I wasn't even sure who she was b/c I'd only met her briefly a couple of times so many years ago. She said to tell you that Mt. St. Helen is erupting but w/joy b/c she's having a ball! And she's been trying to get your attention. She said that if I don't tell you, she's going to keep on bugging you until you pay attention."
Ok then. Mary is at attention! I told my friend about the TV stuff and she said "That's got to be her, wouldn't you think?" I'm thinkin' yes. What say you?
I think Helen is having a go with you! :love: I truly believe that energy/spirit doesn't die. Just changes form. I think Helen's spirit sounds strong and she's playin ya! Let us know if she continues or stops now that she got your attention!:love:

I can't imagine that it will stop unless she was simply trying to get me to notice that she's around. If she has a real message for me, though, I'd like to hear it. I doubt that it's anything bad; I don't have a sense of foreboding but anything is possible. I try not to reason things like this through b/c reason doesn't enter into it. I don't want to filter what comes.Quote:

I would too if I were you. Maybe some meditation or directing your thoughts to her as you fall asleep might help? Now I'm curious too!
I think it's pretty amazing your friend got the message so clearly and you were able to piece it together.
The 'world" is much vaster than we think.
Well, I would definitely think it was Helen after learning what you did. Sounds like there is nothing to be afraid of now, so put away that sword please. :eek: Are you going to "talk" to her and tell her that she has your attention, and now she can stop spooking you?
Oh I'll definitely light a candle and meditate a bit, just sit in the silence and see what happens. I'm not new to this sort of thing; both my parents were mediums and my mind is open but I don't see spirits around every corner as some do. Helen used to take a blank sheet of paper, hold it over a candle flame and move it around a bit, letting the smoke form pictures on the paper. Then she'd see what kind of message could be derived from that. Maybe I'll give that a whirl. I'm just relieved to know, or at least suspect, that it's a friendly spirit and not some malevolent thing that could attach itself to me or the Fur Posse. However, the sword stays. :pQuote:

Pom...maybe my friend is serious about the reading stuff, that's what she calls the woman...a medium.
Medussa I have a friend who goes to readings and she really thinks she makes contact with people...maybe I'll have to start believing her...
Nothing better move out of place in my house tonight or I'm outta here.
A medium is one who makes contact (or claims to) w/those who have passed over. They don't do readings per se; they give messages, purportedly from the deceased. A psychic does readings and uses one or more of several methods such as tarot cards, psychometry, etc. Not all psychics are mediums but all mediums are psychic to a certain degree.Quote:

Its quite creepy to my siss and bros. :pOnce I got out of my bed and walked to the laptop, moved the mouse of the laptop and went back to bed and slept the rest of the night. :D My sister told me in the morning. :DQuote:

We happen to have tons of ravens around here, wonder if they migrated from Britian :eek:
Okay Medussa, send that spare sword, with all the hangings and beheadings is Britain I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I should consider visiting another country...a safe one :D
I´m just reading this.. and it´s quite spooky... yet I can´t keep off reading.. lol
wonder what Helen has to tell you...
I had a super old TV that did this too... turned on itself and then off at any given time she liked.. haha.. I called her my bulb TV... sometimes it took several tries to make her turn on and stay on.. but once "warmed up" she´d stayed on.. until she had enough and turned off herself.. lol.. this was the only TV that did this so I claimed it to age.. :p
One thing that can cause TVs to turn on and off is something with the same RF as the remotes you use. They debunked that on Ghosthunters a couple of times.
To contact Helen, you might want to try an EVP session. Get a digital recorder, ask questions, and play it back through a good ampliflier. You might get lucky!
