The Mock Dock

So listen to this!  Dame and Holmes think I’m crazy, but I am feeling like I am going to see a ghost soon.  And here’s why.

This weekend, I finished up another Jodi Picoult book - this one about ghosts.  I totally loved it - and was fascinated by the whole storyline of a ghosthunter and a little girl seeing ghosts and haunted properties and just the whole spookiness of it. 

THEN, my mother in law tells me a story - TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE - about how her sister was staying at a haunted (unbeknownst to her) hotel a few weeks ago.  This sister, who I’ll call Jill because that’s her actual name, was getting herself and her kids ready to go out, when her 3 year old little boy said, “Mommy -who’s that?” pointing to absolutely no one.  And Jill said, “Who’s who?  I don’t see anyone, ” and her son said, “That man.  He died.”  Which was completely freaky because this three year old has never been told about death or dying nor would he have any reason to know the word “died” in the first place.  Only later in their stay did they become aware that the hotel was supposedly haunted, and guests frequently see spirits hanging out there.  Which is why I got to type the word “unbeknownst” earlier in this paragraph. So totally spooky, right?

AND THEN, if that wasn’t enough spookiness for one weekend, today I had a half hour long conversation with a person I just met who sees dead people and conducts ghost tours on a regular basis.  I’m NOT MAKING THIS UP!!!

Don’t you think that 3 separate instances of indirect ghost exposure in a matter of 3 days is like a sign that I’m totally going to meet a ghost?  I really think this is what all of this means.  I’m kind of excited about it, really.  I will alert you all to my ghostular experience as soon as it happens. Meantime, if you have ghostacious stories to share, I would love to hear about them!!
