Last night I attempted to hook my IC recorder up to my computer and transfer some of the 30+ samples I have from my night recordings over the past year to the blog.
However, I just recently moved my computer to the Ubuntu OS, and for some reason Audacity is not picking up the recording from the input line very well anymore. After some research, some say to plug the wire from the recorder to the Line In jack in the back of the computer and see if that's any better. Hopefully I'll have something up soon!

Shelby tells me about her bathtime visitor
I was working on my computer downstairs in the unfinished basement yesterday evening when Shelby came downstairs after her bath to tell me about a visitor she just had.
She claims that a white shape kept darting in and out of the bathroom doorway . She kept seeing it out of the corner of her eye, but every time she tried to look at the doorway nothing was there. This happened she said for a about a minute, then stopped.

The movie "Paranormal Activity"
Holly and I saw "Paranormal Activity" at the movie theater a few weeks ago.
It was an entertaining movie, and I was impressed early on with the activity that was going on in their house. However, it quickly grew to things that were a little hard to believe.
HOWEVER, I can relate 100% to the first few nights of the movie. Taps on the walls, doors closing, and audible footsteps are all things I've encountered in my house, and have all been documented in this blog.

A light passes right by me as I'm getting dressed this morning
So I wake up this morning, bleary-eyed, and go into our walk-in closet to start getting dressed for work.
At one point I'm trying to unfurl a white undershirt so I can put it on, and this little ball of light zips across me at just about chest level. It flew right over my arms, which were held at a level where my elbows were bent at 90 degrees. It flew from the right to the left across me into the bathroom, and I tried to follow it with my eyes into the bathroom to see where it went, but it was gone.
It was far away enough from my eyes as it passed me that I could look at it quickly. It didn't have a form. It was fuzzy, and soft white in color. The whole experience lasted only a second or two.
Was it a bug? Or was it something more paranormal? I don't know. The purpose of this blog is so I can record everything that goes on in this house that I can't explain.
It definitely made no sound as it flew past me. It was too small and too white to be a housefly. I went into the bathroom to finish getting ready, and there was no bug flying around the lightbulb.

A very loud bang last night
Last night, something in my room went "BANG" and made me jump out my sleep. This was much louder than the normals bumps and taps that normally occur. I lay there for a few seconds, trying in my half-asleep daze to figure out what made the noise, but fell asleep again.
Of course, I haven't been doing any night recordings lately, so I wasn't able to record it. Based on what Shelby told me this weekend about the voice calling her name, and this, I'm going to record tonight.

Shelby tells me someone calls her name at night
While on the way to the in-laws today, Shelby told me in a real matter-of-factly sort of way, that last night someone was calling her name and it woke her up.
She said it was a little girl's voice that repeated her name a few times. She woke up and said, "What?" thinking that it was Sophia calling her name and it was time to wake up or something similar. But Sophia was asleep and there was no one else in the room.
Shelby then told me that this had happened once before, a few months ago, and that she forgot to tell me.

Sarah sees a farmer walk through our yard
Yes, I know. It's been a long time. Really, there's been nothing significant to report. I still have to get the remaining night recordings up on the sight, but work has been keeping me very busy, and to be honest, I want to spend as little time on the computer when I get home as possible.
But last night, something significant did happen. The rain was coming down in sporadic torrents. There was lightning aplenty, even when it wasn't raining.
The entire family was spending an evening together, watching a re-run of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on ABC Family. We ate dinner in front of the TV, made popcorn, and even baked cookies. At some point Sarah realized she didn't know where her Zune was and went out the back door to look for it. A few minutes later she was frantically knocking at the back door.
Initially I thought nothing of it because earlier that day one of the other girls was complaining that the door knob gets stuck. I assumed Sarah was going through the same problem. A bit irritated, I yelled at her through the door, "It's open, just turn the handle."
It only took a few seconds before she did get the doorknob unstuck. When she walked in it was obvious something had spooked her. She explained she was on the back deck and saw a "farmer" walking up the hill in the rain through our property. It was light enough that she saw what he was wearing, and that he had a straw hat on, and that a piece of straw was sticking out of his mouth. He was skinny, wearing a a old white tank top, and ratty pants that looked like old blue jeans that were cut off and only came down to his knees. He was also bare foot.
She saw him walk up the hill for about 3 seconds, then he disappeared. This freaked her out enough to make a beeline for the back door. I went outside with her and made her explain in great detail where she saw this farmer, what he looked like. She stood on the deck and I walked over to where she said he was, and faced the direction she claimed he was walking. I was only 10 feet away from a huge overgrown cluster of bushes and brambles. He would have walked straight into this mess before he disappeared.
