| My experiences at the house: the most recent was within the last 2 weeks (I could probably tell you the exact date if I looked at a calendar). There is no one living in the house at the moment. A friend of mine stays there occasionally, but was not there at the time of this event. I was working on cleaning out the leftover items in the house (an estate sale had been completed the week before). I was on the second floor of the house, in a bedroom that had been used as an office the past several years. There is still some furniture left in this room (desk, chair, bookshelves, computer, computer monitor, fax machine, boxes of papers, bulletin boards, etc). It was a hot day, and I was extra hot from packing, carrying, and going up and down the stairs several times. While I was behind the door in this room, gathering up a bulletin board and some magazine boxes, I was surrounded by cold air. (I am not the kind of person who experiences chills). The drop in temp was very noticeable, especially since I was so overheated and the house was so hot and still. There is no air conditioning in the house, and no fans running. One of the windows in the office may have been open, I can't remember, but the window is on the opposite side of the room, and I was behind the door in the corner of the room. Besides, there were no cool breezes that day, anyway. Another time, Memorial Day weekend in 2004, the chest freezer in the basement somehow became unplugged. It had been plugged in and running there in the same spot for many years. My sister-in-law had been at the lake and had returned home that Sunday evening. Even though she didn't need anything in the basement, or in the freezer, something compelled her to go down to the basement and into the freezer, where she discovered that it was beginning to defrost. It was in time to save the things that were in the freezer, nothing was lost. She felt that it was her husband, who had died the previous October had somehow 'told' her to go down to check on the freezer. |
