Visit To My Hometown

My ex-husband had a stroke 2 days ago. I took my youngest son to the hospital to see him. He is at the hospital I was born at. The hospital has had so many additions that it looks like a modern airport when you walk in. The hospital sits about 1 block over from the home I spent my 1st 12 years at. It was strange to see that the house I lived at is gone and in its place is a medical center. The backyard that was my playground is now a parking lot! How things change!

We drove by the site that was where my elementary school was at… it’s now an apartment complex. The stairs are still there… it was on a hill, but everything else is gone.

Upon driving by the house I spent the next 5 years in… it has been enlarged and is not even recognizable! The old railroad tracks that my friend and I used to walk down (and my father used to walk the dog down) are no longer there. It’s the Kal-Haven Trail now!

The home in town that my 1st husband and I bought when we were still teenagers was no longer brown… it’s white instead.

The movie theater that my high school boyfriend and I spent countless afternoons at is no longer a 2 screen, but has blossomed into a 10 screen theater. We used to pay to see the $1 matinee in the hot and humid summer afternoons, and stay and watch the same movie over and over in the air conditioning because they didn’t empty the theater between shows.

It’s really noticeable when you don’t visit your old hometown very much… the changes that occur!

Nothing stays the same!

Halloween 2009

My favorite time of year is here. Autumn is so beautiful, with the trees changing to various shades of yellow, orange, and red. Autumn also holds my favorite holiday... Halloween.

I will share with you the festivities I find to occupy my time as they pop up.

14 Days Before Halloween: I took a vacation day from work to attend a Paranormal Conference in Allegan. The speakers were interesting and informative. The 1st speaker was Rev. Kass Hilliard. I learned a new cleansing technique from her pre… Continue

Chicago Vacation 2009

If it is true that when you die your life flashes past, I want to stop at this fantastic vacation I had with 3 of my sons and relive it over in my mind as long as possible!

As our children grow up, it gets harder and harder to be able to spend any length of time with them because they are so busy with their adult lives. But for 5 days I got to spend time with Levi, Jonus, and Ivan (my sons). It was great. No husbands, wives, or fathers to contend with... just us like it used to be when they wer… Continue

The Visitor.....

Recently my husband had to have surgery. I was waiting in his room for him to come from Recovery. This was about noon to 1 p.m.....the door to the room was barely ajar.
I began to notice something forming just inside the area around the door. It was a shadow or rather more like a dark blob like shadow. It began to float toward the bed and went between the bed and the sink area before disappearing. A few seconds later it reappeared and floated back toward the door area before disappearing for goo… Continue

First True Encounter

From a very young age, my life has been host to many ghostly experiences. My mom always said that as a toddler I would tell her about people who would come out of my closet at night. But apart from the what-was-that-out-of-the-corner-of-my-eye situations, I never really came into contact with anything I could say with any certainty was paranormal. That was until my trip to New England, when my family and I stayed at the Mount Washington Hotel during the summer of 2008.

Anyone familiar with the… Continue

About Me

Hey Everyone!

My name is Jimmy. I wanted to introduce myself to the "Do You Believe" community with a blog post about myself, so here's just some basic information. I'm currently 18 years old, and a freshman in college. I haven't declared a major yet, but I enjoy psychology (and cryptozoology, but I haven't found a college that offers any courses in it). I recently moved from Michigan to my new home in Georgia. I love Dungeons & Dragons, and play video games constantly. I also have had many… Continue
