NFT: Ghosts and Children

Big Al : 8/12/2019 3:03 pm
Probably the weirdest thing i have asked advice about in 20 years here. Have some houseguests here including a child almost 3 and my wive’s sister.

First I don’t believe in ghosts and think it is nonsense. Yesterday the child said something about seeing a ghost in the hallway. My wife and I assured her there were no ghosts in the house and the child was fine. She even came in a little later with her sheet on her saying she was a ghost. She was laughing.

In the middle of the night I hear a tape in the hallway playing on a cellphone.and catch something about driving out demons. I shut it off. The next morning I tell my sister in law she can’t play stuff like that in
my hallway especially without my permission.

I just get back from dropping my wife off somewhere and guess what is playing on the hallway again.

I tell her she can’t do that and she is defiant and hurls a bunch of Jesus Christ’s at me like I am a vampire.

Any thoughts on what I should do (and about kids and ghosts)?

Eating dinner on deck with family...

...this past Friday. Garden hose snaked across below where we were sitting.

I said to my wife "Are you going to use the hose again today?"

SPLOOOSH!!!

At that instant, the hose exploded - a section of it right next to our table burst like a balloon, showering us all with water.

I ran and shut off the valve, came back to a table of wide eyed sons, one of whom loudly asked "DAD, ARE YOU A WIZARD??"

The hose was 2 50 footers joined - 100 feet of hose and it failed exactly where we were seated, right as I asked about it.

Kinda neat.

makes her feel better I don't see what the big deal is. Why would you care?
I've had no ghost-related experiences myself but  
Del Shofner : 8/13/2019 7:21 pm : link
I have friends who've had the same type of experiences at their house as Beez has had at his. So I don't dismiss it out of hand. Some people seem to encounter it.

That's not to suggest that Beez is sane.

you want the demons to stay in your house instead of being driven out?

Any time someone offers to drive demons out of my house I usually take them up on the offer.

I understand what you are saying and I may have just shrugged if she asked permission.

However waking up in the middle of the night hearing what sounds like the voice of God from a 1940s movie commanding demons to leave my home sort of threw me for s loop. I always have had a problem with religious fanaticism (including some rough debates here in the early days of BBI with rieligious nut Rocky/Rhett/Spock).

I said to myself as a house guest at someone’s house, would I ever even consider doing something like that without permission? As someone said earlier here ”my home, my rules. Then defying the homeowner when told not to do it.

Saying that may I come over to your house and pray to Satan in your living room. Wait why do I need to even get your OK. I will just do it.

I rebuke you in the name of the Great Turtle who created the Universe.
What do you mean there aren’t ghosts?

And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma...  
x meadowlander : 8/14/2019 9:36 am : link
...3 generations of crazy Sicilians under one Brooklyn roof. Great Grandma had a mild stroke at some point, walked with a cane, made a distinctive sound when she walked, thump of cane, foot drag.

She passed away in the early 60's.

Months later, my Grandmother was deathly ill, caught pneumonia recovering from surgery, was in bed in bad shape.

One night, my mom awakens to the sound of the cane and foot dragging through the hall. Starts screaming "Don't take her!!." Too petrified to move, she doesn't get out of bed until a half hour or so later - Grandma is awake, and tells of being visited by her mother who recounts having walked in darkness for a long time and tells my Grandmother she will survive her illness.

FWIW, my Mom was/is hyper-religious, my Grandmother the complete opposite, HATED the Catholic Church (somewhere way back, a priest meddled where he shouldn't have) - so while this sort of voodoo mumbo-jumbo coming from my Mom doesn't surprise me, from my Grandmother is another story - and both sharing the same bizarre story, entertaining at the least, horrifying at most.

I dunno what happens to us when we go, but I prefer not to wander this globe in another dimension.

Al, I'm a therapist - lots of experience - but just my two cents.

Remove her head from her body. Bury the head and the body in two different places. Then ask why your sister in law has to visit and that it should only be done outside of your house going forward - that's if the head separation doesn't work. But I'm Jewish, and I know gentiles have different methodology.


Make sure to bury the parts at a crossroad. Otherwise she'll haunt you forever.

i don’t have a problem with religious folks. Just religious fanatics.

I am sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called for round 2 of my cataract surgery. I will ask the doctor if the room has been blessed.

Geena Davis can probably handle the job by herself.

And, since it looks like she has not been working lately - she may need the money and be available.

Now, Alec Baldwin is a different story.

If you have the cash - the both of them together would be a piece of cake - guaranteed success.
