The Footfalls again
The most littlest but hopefull thing happened only a few days ago! Literally a few! Greg and I had decided to go out around 9:30 to rent movies, one of which was The Haunting, which I had seen a million times but wanted to see again for the sake of it, and also because Greg had never seen it before. By the time the movie was over, it was about 12:30 or 1 am, and we decided just to get to bed. I had almost just fallen asleep when all of a sudden I heard slow shuffling across my carpet in my room.

Now, my door was open, and I do have a cat, but she doesnt weigh over 200 lbs, to make shuffling like that. I know definitly that they were human footsteps. No one was in my room but me, not even my cat. She was off somewhere napping. I heard four footsteps, the kind where when you get too lazy to lift up your feet, they drag. Then all of a sudden I heard my closet doorknob turn, and the door opened by itself about 4 inches! The closet door can only be opened by turning the knob. It doesnt pop open. I also always keep that door completely closed because I worry about Dakota (My cat) getting in there and tearing my artwork to shreds. I wasnt scared or anything. I was joyous!! Finally, some proof that there is something in here! Thats what I had been waiting for, forever! Some small sign, and behold! I got it.

I just went back to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I told my mom about what happened and she said "You know I had something happen to me too!" She woke up early, around 5 am, and watched a bit of tv, since she couldnt get back to sleep. When she started to get drowsy, she turned the television off. "I know I turned it off because the screen went black". Turning her back on the tv in her room, it wasnt more than a few seconds before she said she heard "voices." At first she thought it was the television in the living room. She thought we were awake. But turning around, she saw that her tv had flipped on! And there was nothing electrical to do with it. No storms, no rain, nothing. It was bright and sunny, and a yucky 90 degrees!

I cant wait for something to happen again!!!
