The Freaky Beat Goes On... Achoo!

Okay, so things are still hopping paranormally-speaking in our latest “Weirdness Wave.”

Monday evening (Jan 5th), our car– which was closed, locked and alarmed– was somehow broken into. The driver’s side door was opened and left that way, without tripping the alarm! Everyone was accounted for and it was only when Tad got home from work at 10ish that we learned of it. When Gerick came home this afternoon, I saw him exit the car, shut the door, and press his alarm button myself so it wasn’t a bizarre mistake. He then hung his car keys on the hook and didn’t touch them the rest of the night (until he had to go out, shut the door, and re-arm the alarm.)

Gerick also checked to see if anything was taken. Nothing was. Who breaks into a car for no reason?

Tuesday (6th) was quiet, other than some odd little sounds from the empty apartments that could have been spirits or mice. I wasn’t too concerned about that.

But Wednesday (7th)?? OMG…

At a quarter after 9 pm that night, I went over to ask my neighbors something. I was standing just inside their open doorway, with the vestibule at my back, when all 3 of us distinctly heard a man muffle a sudden and powerful SNEEZE. I shit you not.

We all looked at one another with wide eyes and then went into the vestibule to check things out. We found no traces of anyone. The sound was loud and obvious enough that it had to have been either IN the vestibule or on the other side of the door of one of the empty apartments or the locked storage room. We did open the vestibule door and check outside– of course!– but no one was around and there were no cars. Meanwhile, when I went to get the storage room key– I found it was missing! I knew this because the key fob (or keychain) was still where it was supposed to be, but the key was just GONE! I looked for it, but it appeared to have been purloined.

Gerick was completely asleep by this point and the key was no where in his pockets or on any key rings– not that such a thing would make sense.

The White Gables ghosts don’t sneeze or make any verbal sounds beyond very rare bits of muffled speech or a 5-note whistled tune that everyone around here has heard but usually assumes is one of the living. The sneeze we heard tonight, though, was resonant — not tinny like a ghostly sound. It sounded like it was ‘live and in person.’ However, whoever made it was definitely invisible.

As of Thursday, the storage room key was found– back in the drawer and attached to the key fob again! We were all gone from the property briefly at one point, so it was possible for someone to gain entry to replace said key– but the only one who could would be our landlord and he already has a master key so why would he bother?

She reacts and speculates about the deeper meaning behind these incidents and wonders– what is the ultimate reality or intelligence behind it all?
