Yes, I’ve had supernatural experiences that I can’t explain.
I believe a ghost lives in my condo.
His name is Winston.
Winston is not a scary ghost.
He is only mischievous.
Winston likes earrings and he likes to prowl around my condo.
I will tell you a couple of the experiences I’ve had with Winston and you can decide whether to take Winston seriously or not.
Many times I have heard a “clunk” like something has fallen and hit the floor.
I always check and find that nothing has fallen. Nothing has landed on the floor.
“That can be explained away”, you say. OK.
Once I went to bed still wearing my earrings.
I couldn’t find them the next morning.
I was certain they had to be around the bed somewhere.
I searched around the bed, under the bed, through the sheets and gave up.
Later I thought, “This is ridiculous. Those earrings have to be somewhere around the bed”.
I went back to the bed.
I removed and shook out all the sheets.
I took the pillow cases off.
I moved the bed away from the wall.
I crawled underneath the bed.
The earrings were not there.
Later when I wandered through my bedroom, I glanced at the bedside table and there were the earrings!
The earrings were just sitting there;
perfectly arranged; two inches from the bed.
You may insist that I just overlooked them before. Really?
This last example will be harder to dismiss.
My friend Janice was visiting.
One morning she said,” I can’t find my earrings. Have you seen them?”
Oh Nooooo!
We searched the condo. No earrings.
I asked her where she usually kept her earrings.
She said in her purse but she had already searched her purse. Twice.
I suggested she search her purse one more time; taking items out one at a time; placing it on the coffee table; while I watched. Done.
There were no earrings.
We got up to get a glass of wine and sat back down.
Janice started putting everything back in her purse when she screamed, “Here are my earrings!”
To this day, Janice believes that I played a trick on her; that I had found the earrings; that I had put them on the table.
I promise you, I did not.
“Winston did it”.
