A long over due update of this summer's events

Hello everyone!

Oh how I've missed you all! There was seldom a day that this group was not on my mind. I say this in complete honesty.

I believe most of you had already known that most of my time as of late had been devoted to the closing of a local yet renowned zoo. Well that period of my life is finally at a close.

With of course the exception of still rehoming some of the semi-feral cats yet still remaining. As of this day I have rehomed 26 of them.

I won't bore all of you with my adventures or rather my misadventures since they have little to due with the topics of this group except with the exception that I had dreamt of it's closing and that somehow I played a part of it.

During this time I dealt with a mulitude of sadnesses but I also witnessed wondeful things and most importantly hope. I guess I'm to believe that from hopelessness comes hope...

It was from this hope that I formed a non-profit org. designed to help animals, people and facilites working with animals.

To my surprise it has been greatly supported...and now my time has been largely devoted to it.

So much for that...

During all this I noticed a lack of spirit activity which typically occurrs at our home during the spring and summer months. I even mentioned this to people close to me. There was one exception I did experience during the second week of August, shorty after my childern returned to school.

I was sorting the produce donations I had collected that day when I had this extrem feeling that I was being watched.

I looked up and saw what appeared to be a young boy around the age of twelve looking back at me. The image was black and white in the window but it reflected that of a boy with blonde hair and rosey cheeks. I only could see to his shoulders and I noticed his jacket was dark and the collar of his shirt was long and pointed. His eyes were dark and they met mine and held my gaze the entire time. I never took my eyes off his image.

At first I thought my eyes were playing games with me and I'm not sure if I am relaying this properly but he was also transparent and I could see the reflection of the trees on the window that would naturally reflect onto the window yet his image was forein to the natural reflection before me.

We held each other's gaze for what seemed to be longer then what really was then he faded away right before my eyes and all that remained was the original reflection of the trees that were present.

I wish I could properly relay to you how elated I was as a result of this sighting. During my 17 years living on this property I have seen many things but never have I seen a sight such as this during the day hours.

I haven't seen him since but I can't help but feel that I was only blessed with this sight because it was the wish of another, mainly the boy I saw.

I haven't seen him since that day and I haven't pushed the issue either. I'm a firm believer that when the time is right I'll see more.

Any thoughts or advice pertaining to this experience will be most welcomed.

Well, Bless you for helping the animals. That is a noble deed.
As for the young boy, I am wondering how old the property is. You did not seem to be disturbed, just surprised by this sighting. I don't know if you have had any
"intelligent" type of communication with spirit activity in your home.
Do you think this could be a residual image from the past?

Hi Wendy,

The house itself is not that old, (aprox. 16 years) but the original foundation (the cellar), that the hoiuse is built on is well over 100 years. My husband says the cellar is about 180 years old and is all that remains of the original family own farm but I have never validated this nor do I know where to begin.

It's also about a mile from an Indian burial ground so it does have history associated with it.

When we first moved to the home it was very active as far as voices and unexplained sounds. It was as if us having the house built and our moving in stirred something. That's the best way I can describe it.

As the years have gone by thou I sense more of a feeling of acceptance of us almost as if by our living here for almost 20 years we have earned our place here.

I've seen some spirits that I would believe were in fact residual but I've also experienced attempts of intelligent communication which I must admit I did not handle as well as I would have liked.

Very cool Topper! I think the boy was trying to make some kind of contact with you. The fact that he actually looked at you and held your look suggests he is not residual. I saw my first full body apparition on Halloween night. He walked from the living room to the kitchen. By the time I got out there (mere seconds) he was gone. I actually thought he was my son, but Mike was in the bathroom at the time! I feel so privileged to have this ability. My son sees and hears way more than I do - he's up at all hours and most of the "good" stuff happens when I'm sound asleep. I need to do an all-nighter.

You are such a special person to take on a responsibility such as your zoo project. Those animals, and everyone around you are very lucky indeed.

Hi OTB!

So good to hear from you. Due to my recent zoo obligations I feel I have deserted all of you but that is not the case. I just do what needs to be done then move on. It's my way.

I agree with you that the boy I saw is not residual. What does confuse me is that we haven't met him until now. We've lived here for over 17 years and we've seen many things but never this boy....

I heard him the other day. It was early in the morning. I had called my boys to come down stairs. It was very early and I had made them breakfast. As My youngest son, Justin came down the stairs I hear a voice saying "Justin, Justin get breakfast".

I did not respond to this voice but surprisingly so my son responded to say he was on his way downstairs.

He didn't relies it but he wasn't responding to me.

Since then I here activity upstairs everyday. Typically between the hours of 12:00 to 2:00pm. After that all goes silent.

I will keep you informed as I venture to know more.

PS: Thank you for the compliment regarding animals but really I am not that special. I just feel that all life has value.

No, I really think of your animal assistance as Truly a good thing. My Meow-Meow died a couple of weeks ago. He was poisoned, or so the Vet thinks. I cried so hard for days. I could not do what you do, honest.
Anyway, the boy and the voice is probably residual, IMHO. Your land is very old and many people have come and gone. Remember what Stephen King said, "when I stay in a hotel room I wonder how many people have died in here". Kind of a creepy thing to worry about, but having worked in Hospitals I kind of understand the sentiment.
Being an Empath (possibly), one of my mentors told me to always wear a dark stone to dispel negativity. I try to wear a black bracelet or onyx for that.
