I have no reason to think that my home is haunted. However, I would like to share an experience that defies explanation. This occurred last summer (2008) in my home in a small town in Washington state.
As my husband was out of town, I was in our family room/basement working out on the stair-stepper. We have an old, small TV there, which was about 10 feet away. The remote was on top of the fireplace about 13 feet away. It is not a programmable remote (even if it was I would never be able to figure out how to program it). I was watching a two-hour special on channel 244 featuring two guys who traveled across the U.S. documenting stories and interviewing people on ghost children. As I am a member of our local ghost hunting group and am fascinated with ghostly things, every now and then I would state out loud, "Oh, how fun! I would LOVE to do something like that." At one point I remember saying out loud, "Gosh, I wonder if anyone is ever around me. Wouldn't that be fun to experience something?"
As the end of the program was coming and the credits were rolling, I remember looking at my watch and noticed that I had 10 minutes left on my workout. I said (again out loud), "Oh, shoot! I have 10 minutes left on my workout, but I want to watch Dr. Phil and don't want to stop my workout." I guess I was whining. Anyway, at that moment the channel went from 244 to 16 -- not skipping through the channels -- just from one station to the next to Dr. Phil!
I do not watch Dr. Phil regularly; this just happened to be a rare night in which I was interested in the topic and didn't want to miss the beginning. The whole experience was incredible! Not sure what it was but, interesting nevertheless.
