Hey!

Remember that post I had on July 15, 2006? Sure you do.

Didn't I post the story about that job I had (for one day-- and then bolted outta there) at the house I KNEW was haunted? I know I did. To recap:

It's a crazy story. I didn't know it was haunted when I TOOK the job, and I really liked the lady, but when I got in the house, my little 6th sense just kept yelling "get out, get out, GET OUT". I decided maybe I was nervous, and ignored it, and then started to feel like I was going to throw up, and after a full chant of "GET OUT NOW" in my head I finally said, "Excuse me, I think we need to go outside. I'm feeling a little weird and need some fresh air."

For some reason I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that something BAD had happened there. I didn't say anything to her, and but she sort of got the inkling I wasn't just needing a Pepto Bismal, so she said, "You're not the first person. I think there's a ghost in there. So and So thinks so, and blah blah blah happened...." til it's like an episode of "Medium" or something.

Pretty soon I just said, "You know what? This is none of my business, and I don't know how I know these things, but I really, really think something BAD happened here. I trust my gut. I mean, like REALLY BAD, and they're buried under the house bad."

Surprisingly, she wasn't fazed by that. I quit the next day and she took it hard, but I told the friend who had referred me to her, "Tell her I'm really sorry again. And tell her to MOVE." I figured, "Ah, what the hell. I'd rather be known as a nutcase than work there. And if I'm making it up in my head, well, so be it. I'll tell the shrink next time I see her."

Welllllll........

Cut to now, 2 years later almost exactly. I ran into this friend ( Debra) again recently, and she stopped me and said, "Jessica! I'm so glad I ran into you! I wanted to tell you: Keely was at a conference with me and this woman came up and tapped her on the shoulder. She said, 'You're Keely_________, aren't you? You live in the house out in ______. Wow. You know, there were some little girls murdered in that house. Cops think they're buried underneath it. ' I wanted to tell you, Jessica, because I know you felt really bad about leaving Keely, but she moved finally, and you did the right thing."

Cut to me with my jaw hanging open. I stuttered something like, "Well, uh, I'm really glad she moved. That's for the best, I think, don't you?" And me shaking my head, like, WTF?

In summation to this interesting tidbit of news, I offer: 1.) always listen to your gut and 2.) don't hang around where you're not wanted!!

Shows to go ya, I say. :)
