Introduction II

Sorry...

In my excitement and strange power failures getting started I was in a rush to start this blog and I forgot to introduce myself. I want to list my cast of family and friends but I'm not quite sure yet who wants to be named and who doesn't. So I will use the names of those who gave me their permission and mark when I use a different name for someone who doesn't. And who can blame them? When the mention of the supernatural comes up and you mention that you believe in it and have experienced it you do tend to get strange looks.

I never was a religious person. I knew at a young age that Santa was a fraud then followed by the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy. If it's not something I can see with my own eyes I have a hard time believing it. I was raised that way maybe unbeknown to my parents but my father was always "the facts, I need to see the facts", and I became that way. I need to see...

When we lived in our apartment (with my wife and daughter) and you asked my view about the supernatural and ghosts and haunted houses, I'd tell you they may make for good movies and spooky stories but that's it - a movie, a story! Ask me again a week into living at the Dudley street house and I'd tell you different. I've seen...

I've seen a lot and experienced a lot and have a few wrinkles to show. I'm still not a religious man or I don't suddenly believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy but I can tell you that I believe in the supernatural (and I refuse to watch those movies - give me a good Woody Allen movie any day).

Sorry this quick introduction has become long winded. I'm sorry in advance if I drag a few of these postings out - just let me know. I'm sure Tim will. My best friend through all of this. He has a few stories to share and I'll make sure they get posted here.

As for me... I'm Andrew. I bought this red brick three bedroom ranch for "a deal we can't pass by". A home in a nice well manicured neighborhood where some neighbors care and some don't even know you are there wandering the halls of this house.

Are you happy now Tim?
