I know it’s been a while since I’ve written here. There are plenty of things that have happened since then, day trips have happened, new restaurants have been tried, etc. etc. But that’s not what I’m here to write about today.
Very early this morning I was (obviously) sound asleep when all of a sudden I was startled awake by someone say “T”…. “T”. It wasn’t a loud or yelling voice, it was more like a loud whisper. I remember laying in bed suddenly fully awake and realizing what I heard as to why I awoke right then. It was as if someone was standing right next to me and trying to get me to wake up. I didn’t hear my full name being said, just “T” twice. When I opened my eyes, of course no one was there. I live by myself and as much as I sometimes wish I shared my bed with someone, that isn’t the case. I think it was around 2am when this happened. I immediately reached for my cell phone on my headboard to see if I had missed an important call, gotten a text, or received an email. None were the case. I have my phone set to ring at night only if a few selected people call me. The text alerts are off until 7am, and so are the email alerts, so I really didn’t think that was what woke me because it was nearly impossible. But it seemed like such a freak wake up that I felt I *needed* to check. Maybe someone, somehow, had willed me awake to get some important message. Ya know? However as I mentioned, that wasn’t it. I felt like I was in the middle of my dream when it happened. Ironically I was having an ever so casual conversation with Mariah Carey (of all people!). I feel like that dream got interrupted by this. It just abruptly ended and suddenly I was awake. But I laid there in bed and heard no unusual noise and so I went back to sleep. Weird. Very weird.
Years ago when I lived in my studio apartment, I felt like it was haunted. Luckily I didn’t feel like it was shared with an evil spirit. I felt like it was a good spirit. It never bothered me directly. I can’t say I had any weird, unexplainable happenings like moved items, etc. But the main thing that comes to mind is the sound I heard from my closet one day. It sounded like something had fallen from my closet shelf and hit the closet door really, really hard from the inside. When I went to check, nothing had fallen and nothing was out of place. From that point on I wondered. Something made that noise. I wasn’t sleeping when it happened so I can’t say it was all in my head. But to this day I don’t know what it was.
Before you suggest it, no, I didn’t watch or read anything scary last night. Nor did I eat or drink anything anywhere near before I went to bed. I don’t think my current place is being shared on a permanent basis with any spirits, however last night something happened and I truly don’t think it was part of my dream. Maybe my ears are somehow playing tricks on me. I don’t know. As I said before - weird. Very weird.
