» Tales of the Unexplained
100 % True Story
Newbie - my writing leaves a lot to be desired, and I have yet to learn to make things fun to read, but bear with me please....
10 years ago we bought a beautiful old house here in Johannesburg.
From the moment I first walked into the house, I knew it had to be mine, I felt such peace whenever I walked in the door. Hubby however, has always said that he felt uneasy and a strange, almost menacing vibe.
Various things happened all those years ago to make me - a true cynic - relook at my belief in the unexplained.
Hubby fast asleep in front of the TV - me in bed - he is woken up by a very hard blow to his shoulder - one which caused a bruise - and there was no-one there when he opened his eyes
Half asleep hubby making his way into the kitchen to organise baby’s midnight feeding when he looked up and saw a woman standing in the doorway in front of him - she disappeared after he blearily blinked...
I have had issues with lights turning on and off on many occasions - once was alone in the house - walked down the passage to switch off a light - as I got to the end of the passage, all the hairs on the back of my neck raised and I had a terrible feeling of being watched, when I reached out to turn the light off - the bathroom light at the other end of the passage turned on - this happened in reverse when I went to switch off the bathroom light too - the other light turned on
Also would hear strange sounds - like light laughter or snippets of conversations at odd times - mostly when alone
Winter: child’s swingset placed in the sun-room - heard noises from there - went to investigate and the swing was swinging back and forth - now this was inside the house - no wind etc. and the security gate (this is Johannesburg after all) to get to the swing set was firmly locked
Kitchen cupboard draws and doors would open and close on their own - even when I was in the room
My daughter - from about the age of 1 would have long happy babbling conversations with something in the corner of her bedroom which only she could see - she would frequently look over my shoulder and grin with recognition when I was changing her nappy etc.
Now, I have never been much of a believer in anything supernatural, but these things truly happened and opened my eyes to the fact that there is something out there - something that tries to make contact with us.
About 6 years ago I started to feel distinctly uncomfortable in the house - which I never had before despite all the strangeness - and had a Sangoma (African Doctor) cleanse the house - never a problem since.
