About three weeks or so went by I started my first night of Mids. I got home from work around 7 AM
my wife was awake getting dressed for work. I asked her how her night was she told me it was fine that she watched a movie then went to bed. She left for work I took a fast shower and went to bed. For these that have worked Mid shift before you can relate to the fact of covering up the windows so you can sleep. I put tinfoil on all the windows in the bedroom. I did this to make it dark it is rather hard to try and sleep with the sun pounding on you. After about thirty min or so I guess I fell asleep I guess I woke up around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I sat up in bed and the first thing that caused me to think was the light in the room. I looked around and the tinfoil I put up before I went to bed was off of the window and laying flat on the floor. This was strange because I used tape to put the foil up and there was curtains on the windows that where closed. I picked the foil up and folded it and put it on the dresser to us in the morning. I went into the kitchen and made some coffee and sat on the couch reading the paper when I heard a knock on the door. I figured some one was going to try and sell me something so I made no effort to answer the door. A few moments past and I heard another knock on the door I just sat there thinking this person is determined. Then there was another knock but a little harder. I got up and open the door and no one was there. I stepped out side to see if they where walking down the walk and no one was around.
I sat back down on the couch and drank my coffee thinking the whole time. What is going on I knew this was not normal. I also knew this was beyond my understanding and figured it was time to start asking some questions to try and get to the bottom of this situation. So I thought to myself who do I get do I call a local Ghost hunter laughing at myself. I figured the best thing to do would be to go to the local Library and get some information on this topic but what would the topic be? Ghost? I got dressed and headed off to the local Library. Once I got there I did not know where to begin. I asked the person behind the counter Do you have anything on Ghost or haunting? She looked at me and said yes sir follow me Ill show you where that section is at. At this point I figured she would just laugh at me but she did not do that. In fact she seemed very serious about the subject. This section here has the subject your looking for she smiled at me and walked away. I started looking at the different titles and I was totally surprised at the number of books that have been published on this.
I checked out 5 different books on ghost. One that was interesting was Haunting of the Midwest. According to the author these stories where real. As I read I began to see a lot of parallels between what we have had going on in our apartment and some of the stories. It kind of made me a bit nervous but it was good information. I got back to the apartment around 5 that afternoon and started reading I was still reading when my wife came in. She looked at me and ask me what I was reading I told her a book on ghost. That was a big mistake she said did anything happen today? I told her what happened she looked at me and said what are we going to do. I told her I am not sure we can't afford to move at this point so we have to try and deal with it. I got these books to perhaps help in understanding what is going on. She was not a happier camper at all. Well what do the books say according to what I have read so far this is not an uncommon thing. A number of people have had this same problem some have never gotten rid of it others just except it and go on with their lives. The books go into what has happen and the likely causes but does not tell you how to get rid of it. She sat their for a moment and went into the kitchen and made a phone call I kept on reading.
A few mins later she came into the living room and said the Pastor will be here for dinner this evening. I looked at her and ask if she was going to bring this subject up with him. She said yes I told her I felt we may be making a mistake. She feels it would be best to at least see what he has to say about it. I figured what harm could come of it. It was around 7 p.m. when the pastor showed up we had a nice dinner and where sitting in the living room having some coffee.. My wife joined us and she started the conversation off by asking the pastor if he felt there was Life after death. As far as I was concerned that was a BIG mistake. He went on for about 30 mins or so about the thought of life after death. Then looked at my wife and said Sandy why do you wish to know? Then she told him of a few of the things that have happened in the apartment. He got a smile on his face and said my dear there is a reason for every thing. That is when I piped up and told him about the Fridge and the Cold spot in the hall and the keys. He just looked at me and said you have seen this also. I told him that yes we have had this going on here ever sense we moved in. Well he said these things go away very fast that I would not be concerned about it. It was at that moment when we heard a loud thud on the wall right behind the couch. We all looked at the wall and I got up to see what happened in the bed room which is on the other side of that wall. My wife followed me with the pastor. and there on the floor in a pile was his coat and hat and a mark on the wall where they hit the wall. I bent over and picked up the coat and hat they where cold I handed them to the pastor he felt them and looked at me. You could see the fear in his face he said he needed to go and did not waste any time going for the front door. He thanked us for dinner and after he left my wife looked at me and said my god what are we going to do now?
