Computer Room Shadow...

This one, again, is a true event. 

                One evening, about 3 years ago, I was standing in the kitchen, at the sink, doing dishes. There is a window above the sink, which faces out into the backyard of the house. If I turn around, facing into the living room, to my right is the back door, which exits the house, onto the screened in porch. To my left, is a doorway which goes into the “Computer Room.” The light above the sink was on, as I washed. The kitchen light itself was off. It was dark outside. The living room curtains were closed behind me. The overhead light was on, in the computer room. I had yet to turn on the outside light on the porch.

                Jack, our dog (Australian Shepherd), was lying on the floor behind me, facing the computer room. I had JUST finished doing the dishes, and had turned around to face the living room, drying my hands at that particular second. Suddenly, to my left, a shadow moved in the computer room. Jack immediately sat up, from a prone position, and watched the doorway intently, ears cocked. BUT, he did not bark, or otherwise show that he was perturbed.

                Whatever it was, was human sized. That much I could easily discern. I raised my voice and called to my girl-friend, asking where she was located in the house, presently. She replied she was in the bathroom. I informed her that we had a visitor. She already knew, and said he was just passing through.

Our home had apparently been built across an old pathway, that the entity was used to using. He was simply doing as he always had done.

I cannot say I felt threatened. I did not; especially seeing as how Jack did not react negatively to the spirit’s passing. Jack was a sensitive boy, and protective, although he was getting on in years, and did not move so fast as he used to, he could still set up quite a ruckus, if needs be. He merely watched intently for a few moments, then laid back down again. But, we BOTH saw the shadow’s passing through the computer room.  Paranormal activity is not ALWAYS out to get you, despite what the popular tv shows present. Most often, they are simply going about their business, just as they had done when they were among the living.

The problem is; the very EVENT of being faced with something paranormal, is out of our “comfort zone.” People get whigged out, when nothing has been done to them. They just “saw” something odd. I admit to as much myself. But I do not automatically assume that something is “out to get me,” just because it is of a supernatural nature.  Just because you are dead, doesn’t automatically mean you turn into a brain sucking maniac. If you were a good person in life, why would you be anything less in death? Conversely, if you were an SOB while you are alive, chances are, passing over is NOT going to improve your personality any.

I do not INVITE such activity into my life, but, if it occurs, I am very interested in attempting communication with it. Unfortunately, this passed so quickly, I did not get the chance to get out the gear and do my thing. Lol. I know the chance will come again. Next time, my shadowy friend will find me better prepared to ask him to stop and chat a while. 

 Jack. God rest his beautiful soul.
