The Haunted Vacuum

 OK, I live in the world of the unexplained, but this is crazy.

Before I went to bed, I was going through photos I have of orbs and mysterious faces that I have taken. I was looking for some fill-ins for the blank spaces in my upcoming book.

At 4:30 a.m., I awoke to a whooshing sound.

What the heck, I was so confused.

I jumped up, ran around the house, and what happened is my central vacuum turned on.

How does a vacuum turn itself on?

The only good thing is, if it is a ghost, at least it's a clean one. 

Just another mystery in the life of Carey.

Strange Incident at Winter Cookout/Freezefest 2014

Strange Incident at Winter Cookout/Freezefest 2014

I was in the shelter house enjoying the fire when I received a call from Jeff saying I am almost there, pulling in now. 

The shelter house has two entrances.  There is the long narrow paved path leading from the main parking lot and another shorter entrance off Buttermilk Falls Pkwy that is just for unloading but most people park there anyway.  As I was talking to Jeff I walked out to meet him at the drop off entrance.  A car was pulling in so I walked towards it.  I was waving my flashlight thinking it was Jeff when the car stopped then backed upped quite quickly and bam hit something.  I walked briskly towards the car waving my flashlight and yelling whoa – stop, I was feeling bad for Jeff.  The car then pulled forward and backed up once more and again BAM hit something.  The car pulled forward and sounds of dragging could be heard.  I ran up to the car which I then noticed it wasn’t Jeff but thought it may be another friend so I put my face up to the driver’s window knocking on it.

The window came down but it was no one I knew so I jumped back.  There were two males in the car.  The driver maybe mid to late 40’s the other appeared younger.  Both had looks of shock on their face but their actions were stoic.  I said dude are you OK, you just hit a pole.  I went to look at the back of their car and it was messed up badly.  I then returned to their car and said your car is tore up dude.  The driver said its OK stepped on the gas, went forward, backed up then zoomed off.

After they sped away I went back to look at the pole with Nick.  The wooden entrance pole had a corner shaved off, the metal entrance sign was bent and lying in the snow was part of their cars bumper.

  My mind raced with what was that all about???  Were they drunk, doped up with illegal drugs in the car, were they meeting for queer sex?  Then I thought if these two were up to no good was my walking towards them talking on the phone and waving a flashlight have been their reason for panicking and driving reckless?

Strange!

3 interesting connections

Hey Gang,

I was in Jefferson attending their Christmas parade.  I struck up a conversation with a gentleman in the crowd.  He told me of a new local restaurant that isn’t open yet but is having an open house with free coffee and hot chocolate.  So after the parade I went.  I spoke with the owner who is very involved with politic and gave him information on the Constitution Party.    A few days later a man calls wanting to know how to get involved with the Constitution Party.  I asked him where he was from and he said Jefferson.  I asked did you know the owner of the restaurant and did he give you my contact info?  He answered no I went online.  I said that’s perfect I want to meet with the owner of the restaurant in Jefferson so just meet me there.

I opened a booth in the Painesville Antique Co-Op.  Joe my partner and I were working.  He came up to me and said your neighbor is here and just bought something from you.  The weird connection is this - the co-op has over 100 dealers, the booths are unmarked and we are not allowed to stay in our booths, we have to walk around assisting customers.  My neighbor is not too fond of me and of all the booths in the antique store he picked out something from mine.

I called Jeff to tell him about a political rally being held on Feb. 1 in the town of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.  I live about 110 miles from Mt. Vernon and Jeff living in Delphos is about the same distance away from it.  I asked if he could meet me in Mt. Vernon that day.  He said sure, my stepson’s girlfriend lives there we can drive him to see her and then meet with you.  I said your stepson has a girlfriend who lives in Mt. Vernon?  Jeff said yes they met online a few months ago.

Gotta GoGo!!
