Happy Valentines to you as well. My wife and I went out for dinner and I bought her a tasteful card and put one that whistled inside of it
No, Bellingham Washington, My family has been here since the late 18th century. Bellingham was always a small to mediaum sized town until recently. During the last 15 years or so it became a retirement town. Extremely beautiful setting, every house ever built nearly still standing, etc. I'd like to move back but my investments cratered around 2000 with my divorce, and the rich geriatrics from California and Seattle have put huge pressure on the housing. Some houses, "historic" homes, were almost uninhabitable because of their hauntings. I wonder what they've done. One had a screaming ghost that was pretty darn regular and would start about the 3rd night that a person/family moved in. The screaming started at the back of the upstairs hall and would go down the stairs and out the front door. It showed up over and over at the welfare office for renters.
Very weird one of the people that I did supernatural investigating with during the 70's now haunts one of the more prominent places in town. Too creepy, not unlike my family home where my mother died. It was haunted before my mother died there, now I would not spend a night there.
I am very curious about your use of cameras. I have a lot to say about that, but have never had a video camera available when doing an investigation. I really, really wonder what you get if you just leave a camera on in a haunted location. I have a real bad back and had to spend some time in bed today (not uncommon). My wife was gone which left me with our two dogs. I don't know how much I might be powering things, but I heard two doors close and some other movement.
I don't really consider this place as haunted. I've always wondered though. The two really capable psychics that I've walked with (who could see and talk to the dead) used to talk about "normal activity" in a home. Do you have any thought on this? You sound more conservative than myself. The more that I've looked the more that I seem to find.
One experience that might interest you had to do with a substation. I had heard about this before. These are popular necking locations, USUALLY, if they are private which this one was. No drive out showed though, just the driveway to the gate. I'd heard about this place from a lineman. We got there before dusk. I had an emf meter and got a good background read, but knew that it would change when everyone began to fix dinner and turned the lights on. So, okay, another background. So, we waited there in the dark, suddenly, about 9 at night (my daybook shows Nov 10, 1979, Sat) the atmosphere became very, very thick and very aware of us. I tried to check the meter and it just would not freeze. Neither did my partner, she bolted like a jackrabbit and I am not too ashamed to admit that I was right behind her. I'm just proud that I tried to get a reading. I can't express just how oppressive, personal, and dangerous it felt. We went back Sunday morning to recover the meter. Dead battery. I don't know for certain, but we found some dead animals we hadn't seen the previous evening. We hadn't looked either. Birds and sometimes squirrels can be shocked during wet, humid weather, so I wasn't totally disturbed, but it did make me wonder.
What is your Bellingham named after? Ours was named after a Midshipman of George Vancouver, or so the story goes.
