Monolith 3; Tammy’s Choice
The monolith sat, waiting patiently for centuries. It was sentient, but it would have blushed at such high praise. It felt no need for flattery. There was only one thing that fulfilled it, and it had been a long time since it had that treat. It ached to feel sated.

A Scary Movie That Made Me Jump
This morning I was reading an excellent article by a very good writer friend of mine, Akos Peterbencze, and he set me back thinking quite a lot really. You see, I studied film at university and ended up teaching the subject. I also went into acting in film and television as an actor.

A True Ghost Story, Yes Really
This story hasn't got a ghost of a chance that you will believe it, but I know it to be true and that's all the matters. Had anybody asked me, prior to the following events, if I believed in ghosts I would have replied I believed in the possibility of ghosts.However, I was more than a little cynical. Had I ever truly seen a real ghost? No, absolutely not. All that changed in the Autumn of 2018.

If at first you don't succeed
Skinner #2 There was a loud knock at the door. Startled, Valerie pulled the curtains back slightly to peer out of the window into the darkness. The headlights of the car in the driveway, created a long silhouette on the sidewalk. She turned on the porch light and through the window, she could see officer Potts. She wondered what he was doing back, he had given her a ride home hours earlier, after she was checked out and released from the emergency room.

The Loud Bang
My oldest son and I were watching tv one night late 2008. He was 9 years old. The house was quiet this night and my other 3 children were already asleep. I want to say it was around 9 pm, but it could have been a little later. I'm unsure exactly what time but I can not ever forget the extremely loud Bang we heard suddenly,.. sounding as if it came from the living room, at the end of the hallway. I knew that nobody was out there and the front door was for certain locked. I told my son he should wait in the room for me to investigate what I could, but he popped up beside me at the end of the Hall. Just before entering the living area, we both could already see the large bookshelf, just in front of us, had tipped forward. It was against the wall, in place as it always was, but the picture frames on top lay slanted forward. The books were leaning against the edges of the shelves and the open glass doors were still in position, it looked as if they had been opened and then pulled down on, to bring the top away from the wall, causing all the books to spill forward and come loose from their places, before slamming back into the wall, making the very loud bang. The frog knick-knacks & figurines and photos in frames (of my mother in laws) that had been on top, all had tipped forward. Some things had even fallen to the floor. I stopped short in shock and dismay, taking all this in as I looked around. I was speechless & without any sort of an explanation to my young child. I felt very helpless actually and as if I was being watched. I played it off as if I wasn't affected in a negative way and explained to him, that I didn't have a logical explanation. The next morning, I cleaned it up and talked to my sons grandmother who was also asleep when it happened and she didn't hear it but said she thought one of the kids had tried to crawl up the shelves and tipped it. My other children were 5, 3 and 1. She said she was glad nobody was squished mockingly, as If I let them run a muck. ;) Then she was surprised when I said, they were all in bed and we heard it slam back into the wall from the bedroom and found it looking as if it was pulled forward and the let go of! Very Scary, but what can you do when you own the house and there's nowhere to move! God Bless her, Rip Beth! 4 yrs later from this, We Sadly lost her tragically and unexpectedly in the middle of the night Mid July 2012 I write these stories in dedication to her and The home she welcomed me as family to 1998. I currently Live further away and my children still talk about when we lived at that house I have occasional flashbacks but mostly have blocked a lot out. I am very grateful for breaking free and learning how to cleanse my self of negative energy and how to keep my home blessed and free of all dark energy. Life is truly comfortable now. I sleep really good and I have so much less stress. Always Praying for anyone who has any similar experiences and hoping they will find their way through the craziness of not knowing what is going on exactly.
