The Ghost - Updated

Ok - I have an update before you read the story below. After working myself up quite a bit I talked to my sister and feel much better. She said that the TV in my room used to do that - turn on and off because of a short circuit. So I'm going to debunk the ghost myth and say it's a short circuit. None-the-less all appliances are getting unplugged tonight :)

I'm house sitting for a family at my church while they are out of town. Nothing new since I've house sat before and actually (normally) enjoy it. After telling me all the normal stuff about the home, TV, and alarm she told me about a ghost/demon in their home that does crazy things like close doors, turn on water faucets and such.

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe in demons, and above all the power God has over them, but I wasn't convinced that I had anything to worry about. Yesterday I headed over after work, watched some TV in the living room, started cutting the bandannas for flip flops we're taking to Russia and then went to their room to turn in for the night. I stayed up for a while unpacking my bag, and watching a little more TV until I packed it in.

I was fine until 3:42 this morning when the TV in the room I was staying in turned on with the cable off which meant it was the REALLY loud static noise. I jumped up with my heart in my throat and lunged at the TV to turn it off but before I could it off it turned off by itself. The remote was on the night stand so it wasn’t like I rolled over on it – though I wish I had cause I could excuse that away.

So instead I prayed until my heart stopped beating out of my chest and then couldn’t go back to sleep so I stayed up for two hours watching The Peoples Court and news (did you know news starts at 3 am!!) and saw a grandma get tazered by a cop cause she was being a punk, cursing and was about to storm into traffic - seriously. I was finally able to take a 30 min cat nap before it was time to get ready for work. Tonight – TV gets unplugged!!

And any prayers warding off "whatever" is in that house is appreciated!!!!
