Something odd happend tonight very weird

a reply to: crimsongod21

That description so matches my parents' house, it's amazing! It too was built on an old farmland, strange things would happen such as the TV turning on when you walk near it, and I would sometimes see the figure of a tall, slender man looking in at me through the window at night. Sometimes that feeling of being watched was very strong, creepy, and yet that 'man' in the window wasn't always there when I had that feeling. The property is haunted, in my opinion. However, paranormal activity picked up after my sister and I messed with a Ouija board.

Do you know if anyone did anything like that on your property? Or any kind of witchcraft?

Exactly! Frequently renovations is what stirs up spirits. Usually these are ghosts, attached to the home and/or land. Usually demonic entities are not attached to places, as they prefer to target people. Unless of course the place has a portal of some kind. In this case though, it sounds like renovations stirred up a ghost.

Sounds like you are being paranoid.
Be a man and get a grip of yourself.

I wouldn't read too much into it. I've had several tools develop wonky switches/triggers over the years A Craftsman table saw, an off brand miter saw and a Milwaukee drywall screw gun that I can think of off the top of my head. Mechanical components can and will develop glitches and it's not uncommon for such things to occur. Oh! A Hilti 1/2" hammer drill also used to do this.

I'll make you feel better: it was Mothman. Muhahahahahaha!!!!

On a more serious note, someone's passing you a message.
I won't speculate.

This seems to be a very true statement given my own experience that occurred when we were renovating the basement.

The spirit that was downstairs was very unhappy, and began throwing things off the shelf, swearing loudly, and dragging what sounded like chains across the floor.

Needless to say my wife at the time and I did not get any sleep for the rest of that night after that.

I'm tending towards the renovation stir up, too. The only time my best friend I ever argued (friends for 40years, house share in various guises together for 19) is when a landlord ripped out the gas fires in the bedrooms.

We both thought each other had started turning off lights/heat, and each believed the other had become suddenly inconsiderate about noise...when I finally, reluctantly confronted her, she said she thought it was me. One night we sat and watched the gas fire in the lounger turn off; saw the dial turn, heard the click, saw the flames give...

All stopped when the radiators were fully installed and the renovations stopped.

Paranoia doesn't turn electronic devices on when no one is around. So your comment is neither helpful nor needed. If I had only described feeling watched and the possible sighting your comment might work as paranoia could be a logical cause for those incidents.

On an interesting note my wife received an email from our lawyer stating that the dry wall guy has completed the work and asking for payment to be made, this is odd considering there is a lot left to do in the basement before it is done to the specifications of the settlement. Also if he was "done" why didn't he take his tools with him? Let's see if he shows up today it could either be an awkward conversation or a really awkward conversation depending on his reasons for claim g to be done. I will try and get some pictures taken and posted if I can remember how at some point today.

With all the threads about mothman and the MIB popping up lately maybe it was mothman and the mib trying to help finish the work in the basement at this point that is just as logical as some other theories I have had.


The tool might have just gone wonky but until I talk to the dry wall guy today, assuming he shows up, I won't be able to prove that is the case.

a reply to: crimsongod21

Tell him to stop leaving tools plugged in as well.
Costing you money when these ghosts turn them on lol

That is a strange development.
Go check the tools.
Go check what he's done already, look for anything out of the ordinary......

Costing me money either way when they are plugged in the pull some juice, granted all in all he Mayne cost me .40 cents but damn it I work hard for my money.


Other than the work not completed nothing looks out of the normal his tools are in the same type of manner that he normally leaves them and he didn't leave black tire marks as he left so I don't know lol. The guy while professional is an a hole so he might just be trying to pull a fast one or he might be coming to terms with the fact that he way under bid this job and is just trying to round up funds to complete it, no matter how unlikely that last scenario is I won't know until he does or does not show up today.

maybe he had a similar experience?

would explain why he's "done" but has clearly not finished nor packed up.

if he's lawered up before getting his tools.. leads one to believe he doesn't want to come back, scammers take their tools... for the next scam.. scared #less workmen wouldn't know what to do, but they know they don't want to go back..

Most folks wouldn't even want to speak about it, so go easy if he comes back.. he doesn't know that you've had an event as well, he most probably was a skeptic before his last work day in your house and dreads trying to explain what he himself cannot.

a reply to: crimsongod21

If he under bid its his fault. Don't pay the man until he's finished.

.....yesterday was no pants Tuesday, did you scare him off yourself? Lol

Good advice is to never leave tools like that plugged in - a power surge can make them turn on at any time, this is often how fires can start with hairdryers and straighteners left plugged into the wall.
Not ruling out the paranormal though, test your entity - if it manages to plug a power tool into the wall and turn it on then it's definitely time to call an exorcist or move outta there!

I have no intention of having the lawyer free up the funds for him until the job is done he is locked in under a legally binding contract to complete the work to my wife and my satisfaction. As the job sits it's 80 to 85% complete until that mark is at 100 he see no more money.

a reply to: TheDudeMinds

I don't, but as he and myself had a small skirmish about me moving a pair of his pliers a few months ago I don't touch his stuff like I said he is kind of an a hole. Also my wife doesn't go down stairs at this point as it depresses her due to the situation this house put us in. I on the other hand only go down there now to do laundry as that is the only thing worth doing down there until it is finished.

You seem switched on, hope you get it sorted out.
Be cool.

Sorry for the pun, it seemed appropriate. Lol

He has a go about moving pliers but leaves tools plugged in......he is an A-hole.

Just to be absolutely sure....he's got eyebrows, hair, eye lashes, pink skin, coloured clothes and no lipstick, right?
