Spirits and Ghosts

I’ve never been a believer of ghosts or spirits. Lately, I am beginning to think otherwise. My family and I moved into an older home that belonged to Andre’s family seven months ago. Three family members who used to live there  passed away. Although they didn’t pass away in the home, weird things continue to happen.

About three months ago, one of the lights in the living room turned orange! One time when Andre left out of town, I was watching TV in the living room by myself. The volume went up by itself. The remote control was on the other side of the sofa. I thought I was sitting on the remote but I wasn’t. The kitchen lights flicker from time to time. The freezer ice has also fallen out of the freezer at times. Things we’re looking for seem to get lost and moved around in the house too.

In order to get rid of ghosts and spirits, people have told me to place sage around the house and light a white candle. Andre says not to do it so I haven’t. He thinks it’s his father watching over him. Andre lost his father when he was 11. I’m going to admit, it’s a little bit spooky. Whenever I’m alone in the house, I tend to stay in one of the bedrooms. Nothing has ever happened in there…so far anyway!
Do any of you belive in ghosts/spirits? Have you had any weird experiences like this?

Andre has talked about us going to a so-called haunted saloon in Cuchillo, New Mexico. Cuchillo is close to Silver City, NM. Other so-called haunted places in El Paso are: El Paso High, Concordia Cemetery and Monteleone’s Italian Restaurant (feel free to check out these posts in the April and June archives).

Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Amaya. I'm a 30 some year old mom to one son. My blog is about my life, entertainment, current events, people and events in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, etc. My blog will also feature pieces about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and surrounding areas in New Mexico. I also hope to include more travel blog posts. Guest bloggers will also contribute from time to time! I've been a writer since I was 6 years old. I graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in journalism. I've written for various newspapers and magazines. I plan on focusing more of my time on blogging and freelance writing. I took a five-year break from writing but I'm back at it! Thank you for stopping by and welcome!

  12. Dude, I was just kidding. Since Andre said you can’t use sage and a white candle, I thought you could fool him by using parsley with a red one. I despair… no one gets my humor. 🙂

    Sorry, I don’t believe in ghosts. And I don’t believe that bugs can understand me when I talk to them, but that doesn’t stop me. 🙂

  15. Ha ha ha. Yeah maybe. Andre says it’s his dad telling him to become more organized. Andre says he’s watching over the house. I told Andre I was going to use sage and a white candle and he said not to.

  16. Maybe you could try making friends with the ghosts, like I’m trying to make friends with the bugs. I talk to the bugs — explain how they don’t belong in the apartment. Explain that I’m really a nice person and I don’t want to kill them.

    When that doesn’t work, the Borax I laid down does my talking for me. Maybe Borax works for ghosts, too. 🙂
