Most of the residents claim to have heard heavy footsteps shuffle along the front or back of their apartments.<br /><br />A few have heard heavy knocking with a whispered "Help me" only to open the door with no one there or anywhere outside.<br /><br />I never have. But my cat, Gypsy, has her nightly throne on the front window and every so often hisses and growls low in her throat as if at an hostile cat -- though no other cat is in the small complex.<br /><br />Perhaps Gypsy is protecting me.Roland D.

Particularly the portion where my brother and I slept. <br /><br />It just always felt like something scary was about to happen.<br /><br />I learned two things: how to fall asleep with lights on and stay asleep; and how to orient myself to look away from the door, no matter when I woke up. <br /><br />I was that convinced that something would be there if I cared to look. <br /><br />At that stage I was too scared. <br /><br />Nowadays, I really regret that I didn't face my fears.Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-33403444272595054902010-10-28T13:24:45.604-07:002010-10-28T13:24:45.604-07:00I love your descriptions.

After all, the subconscious sees and logs things the conscious mind often overlooks, but aspects of logged facts do trickle through from the subconscious to the conscious! Hence dreams remembered as vivid as if the event just happened. It's fair to assume that in the 21st century, we as humans have lost many faculties/skills our ancient forebears took for granted, not least acceptance of knowledge in how to survive in the basic sense of survival and of reading signs to guide in every day life, re weather patterns, animal instincts etc. ;)<br /><br />For all our modern technology and educational learning we're pretty thick in comparison to those who lived pre hundreds of years BC. <br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-84511732558366043632010-10-28T11:24:47.824-07:002010-10-28T11:24:47.824-07:00Thanks for all the feedback!

There are a lot of fond memories there and it was all during a very formative time (I was thirteen when we moved back). I will return someday and maybe the dreams will stop.<br />As to the newborn baby -- no clue about the significance there. I suppose future procreation is not impossible, but it's not probable. The baby probably had more psychological relevance, a symbol of something. After all, I wasn't able to save it.<br />Feel free to analzye. :)<br /><br />Now I have to get over and read the rest of the entries. I'm looking forward to everyone's stories.Erin Kane Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376851676240606472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-36936126220108614692010-10-28T11:22:47.412-07:002010-10-28T11:22:47.412-07:00Dreams can be as scary as any ghost experience.

It's interesting too that you are from Victorville. My sister when to Victorville High while I attended Hesperia High for a couple of years before moving back to Utah. I've been back in Southern California since 1997. Great job on the post! Very good story.Patricia A.
