Objects Disappearing and Reappearing
It started the day we were moving in. My roommate kept seeing something ―running around‖, on the roof of the house, out of the corner of his eye. Something small, is all he could tell. He got a strange feeling about the house. (Of course, I didn‘t learn of this until later). I do remember him running outside with a can of salt. He put a salt ring around that house at the time, I had no idea what that meant or why he would have done such a thing.
We got all moved in and Gregg had to sleep in the living room, because while moving, his bed broke, so he was sleeping on the couch. About a week after we moved in, he woke in the middle of the night and saw a woman standing in the living room. He panicked, squeezed his eyes shut and waited a while and she was gone.Several days later, he was awakened again in the wee hours of the morning by a blood-curdling scream. He jumped up to discover that there was no one there. However, his mother called a few hours later to let him know that his grandmother had died precisely at the time of the horrifying scream.
(Keep in mind that I only heard of these things the mornings after they occurred. I never heard or saw these things in my room). Gregg left to go to his grandmother‘s funeral in Mississippi. While he was gone, I brought the old bed from my mother‘s house that I had used years before, and set it up in Gregg‘s room so he would have a bed. Sometime while he was away, my watch (brand new) disappeared. I could have sworn I left it on my dresser in my bedroom. I searched high and low for that watch, and couldn‘t find it anywhere.
I finally gave up after days of searching and thought it would turn up eventually, as things do. Gregg came home soon after (he was only gone about two and a half days). He showed me a new CD he bought (NIN) while he was out of town. He also told me about a dream he had about the woman he had seen a few nights before.He said in his dream, someone told him that if he saw her again, to ―tell her to hold her baby close‖ and no harm would come to him. We talked about that dream, then, he took his CD to his room and went to nap. A few days later, he asked me if I had gone into his room and borrowed the CD. Well, I hadn‘t seen it since he brought it into the house. I jokingly said, ―It‘s probably where my watch is!‖ About three weeks later, I found my watch sitting on my dresser, exactly where I had left it a month before, and the same day, Gregg‘s CD showed up on his nightstand, just where he had left it weeks before. the end.
