So, not sure if this is the proper sub for this, but here goes:
When I took my job five years ago on the plantation, I was warned by the current employees that the lodge was haunted. I don’t buy in much or maybe even care enough to get interested in that sort of thing, but I did ask what the first hand accounts were.
The previous owner was holding a dinner with the weekend’s hunting party and all the lights apparently started blinking/dying/etc. It made some guests get uneasy, but who cares really?
Next was the fact that small items seem to be moved or dropped when no one has been in the house. Throw blankets, cabinet doors and dishes seem to be the items of choice. I have seen some of that, but who can prove we didn’t get an unseen human visitor?
Next are the unexplained noises that occur. Both owners have had zero sleep nights from the framming, hamming and rattling. It is strange to hear. I use the restroom on occasional at odd times and there is very rarely a time I don’t hear pots and pans slam in the kitchen while I’m there alone. It just helps with the process! Lol
The final two events are more concerning. I pulled in late one night to show my wife some landscaping I had installed to see if she liked it. It was black dark inside and out with no lights on. When we pulled up she asked “who lives here?” “Nobody” I said. It’s just a hunting lodge. I walked around with my flashlight showing her, then when we got back around front she said “someone’s here!”, to which I replied, “no human is here”. Sure enough, the lamp in the foyer was on! It had definitely been off upon arrival. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I went in first thing in the morning to check the lamp. Possibly the power was off at the time we arrived, then came back on??? Nope, the lamp, on a manual twist switch was in the “off” position! No one had driven in or out since my tracks.
Lastly, the other morning I was taking my kids on a hunt. We pulled into the lodge to borrow a tripod that’s in the closet. My son waited in the dark doorway as I used my phone light to go in and out. Upon returning to the door, my 11 year old son was muttering “dad, someone’s here!” I was looking down the driveway for whoever he must see coming while I walked out. I soon realized my son was fairly upset and he revealed that he had seen a dark figure step out of the guest bedroom, into the doorway, and I had walked right by him without noticing! I said, “what did they look like?” He said it was around my size (6’4”), but when I went by I had a face and it didn’t. To get to sleep that night, he convinced himself that there must be a black homeless man that was forced to use our lodge in the woods to avoid the elements and that’s why my face was more visible than the squatter. I just went with it.
Any thoughts?
