WE DID IT! We made it to 2021. I figured I would make a quick little post for the new year, plus I somehow forgot that Tuesday's post would be the last one of the year. This year we will find some GHOSTS. I mean, hopefully, right? I started this blog in 2020, while working at a little pizza shop during a global pandemic that is still ongoing. I got some gear from a buddy at work, and, while I haven't found anything ghost related with it, I did almost see Bigfoot. Had a bunch of weird encounters with Henry the- maybe not just a- cat. I ended up helping out Old Linda a lot, and I worked with people in the pizza shop to entertain and feed our little town. I went for a lot of bike rides, which was fun. I spent a lot of time talking about cryptids with my roommate Tim.
My little home has been decorating and cleaning. This is all prep, so we can dance around and be silly for the Holiday party tomorrow night! Last year wasn't great, but I'm extremely thankful and lucky for what I have. Hopefully, if you're reading this, this blog has offered a slight distraction from the looming doom that seems to be ever growing heavier in the air.
I did get a chance to play with my ghost hunting gear, like I mentioned in Tuesday’s post. I sat in the basement of The Slice with my EMF reader and spirit box. I turned off the lights and everything. No one else was there. It was very quiet. The spirit box was very loud. And nothing happened. It's disappointing of course. I use the gear at my apartment sometimes too, just to see, but usually the same thing. The spirit box never strings together more than a one-off quick word, never a phrase or sentence.
I detoured past Old Linda's after leaving work. It was pretty nice out, though it was dark. With how quiet it was out, and the cold, just cruising on my bike is the best. I, of course, looked through the darkness to see if I could spot Henry. I slowed and took out the EMF reader to see if I could pick anything up. I spotted Henry in a window above me, and waved. He just seemed to narrow his eyes at me, before leaving the view of the window. I shrugged, and continued scooting my bike slowly while holding the EMF reader. It briefly lit up like it had something- I glanced around. It's Henry. Look back at the reader, it's back to normal. I look up again. Henry is outside now, bristled, fur whipping around him like some sort of cloak. His eyes are orbs of light, and I feel afraid, but also a growing sense of dread. The next thing I know I'm biking away, fast. Not looking back.
I don't know what happened- and I don't know if maybe my brain was playing tricks on me. I've spent the last day or so feeling like I shouldn't be messing with this stuff anymore. But with the new year- I have to! I want to shake Bigfoot's hand. Maybe I can actually talk to Old Linda about the THING that haunts her home. I'll travel farther away with Tim, we'll have more camp-outs, and find more creatures. I'll do more research to find haunted places to go. To start things off, Tim and I are going to go back to where we originally, maybe, saw Bigfoot in the woods. There are trails over there, so Monday afternoon or so we will be digging through the woods to find evidence of Bigfoot! Or whatever lives in the woods. Henry is certainly, possibly scary, even when I thought maybe he was starting to like me, but I won't be deterred. I'm going to find more cryptids and hopefully a ghost this year!
Stay Haunted! Sorry for the late post- look forward to Tuesday's post!
GHOST 2021!!
