So as mentioned in some of my previous posts, I believe my home health client Mrs H’s husband’s spirit is in the house. Mrs H has told my boss that she thinks her husband is there but she has never said anything to me. For context, the ghost is chill and seems to just be concerned about his wife and likes to watch how we take care of her. A previous caregiver has seen the shadowy figure at the top of the stairs several times, but no one else has. Everyone else including myself just hears sounds and senses paranormal activity. I hear things moving upstairs, hear voices whispering, and often feel a “static” feeling when I go to the bathroom which is underneath the staircase.
So I was back there for my shifts this week and some more interesting things happened. I found out that a caregiver was apparently fired for stealing from this woman’s house. She last worked last week. Last week I heard something heavy being dropped upstairs and a lot of other sounds including toilet flushes. Whenever something sketchy is going on like a caregiver is doing something wrong, there is a lot of paranormal activity. There’s unfortunately already been a couple caregivers taking advantage of this woman and I’ve noticed there’s a lot more paranormal activity when those workers are around and then things settle when they leave. If this other caregiver was fired for stealing, that explains the loud sounds last week. Monday night I was taking a cat nap and I hear a chair scoot and screech against the floor. Then I heard it again maybe 45 min later. It woke me right up both times.
This morning after Mrs H woke up I was sitting with her at the kitchen table and she said something about her husband so I asked how he passed away and she said he died in a hospice facility. And she said “he’s still here I know he is” and I said “yeah I think so too. I think I hear him upstairs and moving around.” She pointed to the middle chair at the kitchen table and said “he used to sit right there”. I just about gasped because I thought it so interesting considering my experience the previous night but I controlled myself because I didn’t want to startle her, and I just said “oh really? The other night I heard a chair scoot back” and she said “yeah he probably came down here because he didn’t want you to be alone; he was really nice”. I think it’s interesting that he’s getting closer to me.
I will point out again like i have before that I’m not scared of this ghost because he shows no ill intent. He seems to get angry when someone is doing something wrong but like, why wouldn’t he? He seems to care about his wife and when someone is doing something wrong it’s like he’s trying to get our attention.
I’ve pretty much let go of the suspicions of phrogging or squatting going on upstairs. I really do think it’s her husband’s ghost. I’m still pretty terrified about the past break-ins that she’s had tho and that someone might break in again on my shift. I found somewhere that will make a good hiding spot in the event of a break in and I have my taser so I feel pretty ok.
