I think our house is haunted.
It started not that long ago, when Nick was in West Virginia for the LSU game. I was home alone, sitting on the couch, and kept hearing footsteps upstairs. At first I thought maybe it was the cats playing (they really throw each other around sometimes), but then it happened when I knew they were both downstairs with me. I dismissed it and didn’t have a second thought before going to bed upstairs by myself that night.
I didn’t mention it to Nick at first. But over the next several weeks, I kept hearing it! So I told him. He thinks I’m crazy. Our house and our neighbors’ are really close together and both houses are raised off the ground, so his logic is that I’m hearing the neighbors’ footsteps. Who knows. Either way, I ain’t skeered (that’s my Louisiana coming out).
My friend Cassie thinks my downstairs bathroom is haunted. I’m pretty sure she avoids peeing at my house. She says the light and shadows in there are weird and it freaks her out.
The room is really long and narrow, so I can see how it would be a little disconcerting to do your business in the middle of a fifteen foot long room. What do you think? Would you be scared to pee at my house? Or spend the night upstairs? I’m sure our little bungalow has had plenty of residents in its 90 or so years, and maybe even a death or two. Maybe someone decided to stick around. Do you believe in ghosts?
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! I was lucky to marry a man who despises dressing in costume as much as I do so we plan to spend the evening handing out candy to trick or treaters.
No dressIng up = no fun!
Would you believe it if I told you that I’m not creative enough to come up with a costume?
And too cheap to buy one, of course. I barely spend money on regular clothes for myself. No way could I justify an outfit I’d only wear once!
Accessories… a girl’s best friend! A cute headband, a classy dress and you’re a lady from Mad Men? I am running all over the city today for work, from school to the office to client’s houses. No time for costuming! We didn’t even go out this weekend. I usually like to dress up, but this year I just wasn’t feeling it.
I might go out to the Quarter tonight because I have friends who just moved to town and want the NOLA experience for Halloween, or whatever’s left of Halloween since most people partied this weekend.
Sounds like fun! And good costume idea. Maybe I’ll dress up next year.
We don’t dress up either!
Glad to have someone else in the no-costumes camp!
Haha. I dressed up one time in college. And I stayed out way too late. This year, we’re taking the little man trick or treating, so we didn’t dress up. But next year we might be totally cool and dress up as a family…and scar our child for life :)
Ha, I remember your blog post about the year you dressed up! Hilarious! Next year you should all 3 be pumpkins or something like that. What fun is having a kid if you can’t stockpile embarrassing photos?
Ooooo A haunted house. I used to think the old house that I grew up in had more to it than meets the eye. Your house is so bright and cheerful that I’m sure your ghost is too. I wouldn’t be afraid.
Lol, I agree. If we’ve got a ghost I think it’s friendly.
