jethrofloyd Posted July 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Maybe they sleep on a balcony to avoid the summer heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted July 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) BS or not, if you are reduced to camping outside of your own place - move. I do call BS on the "19th century woman" trapped in that apartment bit - the place was a hangar before it was apartments. They have a balcony, so they would have been in the upper parts of the hangar - why is a ghost going to be "trapped" in that one apartment that was empty upper hangar space originally? Unless it was converted to apartments a century ago and she died there then, it makes no sense. Edited July 22, 2021 by moonman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papageorge1 Posted July 22, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Well, that was a short and paltry article. There must be more to it to cause grown adults to sleep on a balcony in a tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSanta Posted July 22, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Aggressive? Lights going out, TV turning on and rattling dishes? Doesn’t sound very aggressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens in our house. It's usually Mrs Stiff and it's usually aggressive. Sometimes the dishes even fly around the room. On occasion, I also sleep on the balcony because of this. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TashaMarie Posted July 24, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Why did the medium not help the spirit cross over if she was trapped there? And what on earth do they mean the dishes make strange noises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted July 24, 2021 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2021 This is what makes it partly credible: When they called in a medium to investigate, they were told that the apartment was haunted by the hostile spirit of a 19th-Century woman who was trapped there and wanted them to leave. Any decent ghost should make an effort to appear in suitable clothing, maybe a medieval religious habit or 19th Century clothes, preferably carrying a candle or even dragging a chain. Standards!

Carnivore6868 Posted July 27, 2021 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My 98 yr old grandmother just passed away today. I expect a visit from her soon. I love her but her passing has perturbed me because I saw it coming months before it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - What does that have to do with the OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore6868 Posted July 27, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank You and yes she lived a full life and many people loved her dearly. She never had a bad word to say about anybody. She had been going downhill for the last 6 months while my mother was doing her best to take care of her. It finally got to the point where my 74 yr. old mother just couldn't take care of her anymore. Like they say twice a child once an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered the ghost may have a fear of heights? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
