We haven’t had much activity with our ghostly visitor lately and I’m wondering why. That strange feeling that sometimes occurs upstairs is no longer present. Nor has our IR detector signaled a presence in the attic. Aside from the faint whiff of men’s cologne I smelled two weeks ago while cooking dinner, I haven’t noticed any unusual happenings.
In hindsight, I wonder if the ghostly visits were related to the sudden passing of my close friend, Gerry. Gerry checked out of this life on March 1st when a truck plowed into his car. For weeks before that event and a few weeks after the ghost activity was most intense. Now it’s mostly gone.
Even so, there might be other factors. It’s now much lighter in the morning as spring is well underway. We went through a time change for Daylight Saving Time. Also, our week away for vacation in Sedona might have been enough to drive our invisible visitor away.
It’s a shame: my curiosity is still there but the mystery guest apparently isn’t. I hope I didn’t miss my chance to learn more.
