I haven't posted anything lately because not much has been happening. Alot of same ole, same ole, such as things go missing and then miraculously reappear in the same place or elsewhere...(like my mail disappearing 3 days ago from the table and then found later on in the cupboard..), footsteps and movements at night, distant voices (mostly young, but also a male and female adult). I'm still not comfortable here and my nights are spent with many sleepless hours but for the most part I'm not terrified except for what happened last night. Gizmo and I had just reentered the kitchen from our nightly walk before bedtime. As I locked up the kitchen door, a child's laughter could be heard from way down the hall. Gizmo gave a small "ruff" then headed down the hallway. As I passed the living room I reached in, turned off the light, and a dark figure appeared at the far end of the room. It quickly raced in front of me.  It's featureless face was just inches from mine. Just as Gizmo barked from behind me the shadow completely vanished as if it were never there to begin with.  Gizmo and I both ran to the bedroom and we crawled under the sheets and I lay there too afraid to look around in case my visitor had returned. Whatever that "thing" was, I didn't like it and I had the feeling "it" didn't like me.
