My experience with the unknown

[Kate Ellery]

I was just playing a few games and a question came up about creepy experiences

This happened in 2021 while babysitting a cat for 3 months in Adelaide


It was an nice old what called local stone home built in 1925 ……..( SA is known for limestone )

typical 4 roomed cottage type ….with modern extension on the back

We’d have to walk up a long passage to the very front bedroom ….and a chilly shadow ….like a puff of drifting cloud , came out of the room opposite “ our “ room..this happened most nights
….
.then one morning was sitting in the back extension ( family room) sipping out breakfast coffee/ tea , and a vase sitting on the window sill exploded….

We never mentioned the creepy cloud , to the owner a single senior lady ….but was latter chatting to her about the history of her home age ect .
It turned out ….she was born in the same very small town as my
father ( about 700 km from Adelaide) and her parents were undertakers in the town ……and knew my fathers family

and being undertaker …….buried my father when he was killed at 42
She even did some homework for me as she knew more about my fathers side of the family than i did

( I only met him once before he was killed )

( Small world we live in )
The room where the shadow kept appearing from had. 6 foot square photos of her mother in it ….which was standing behind the door

.we both felt and seen the creepy cold shadow , even tho I’d go to bed about 8 pm ( I had me leg in plaster due to a fractured leg / ankle so,I’d go lay down early ) ..and Hubs wouldn’t come to bed till 11 ish

and we are not believers in that sort of thing .

I’d wondered after we’d left there ,if I should have let the cat into the area …..the home was very clean and the cat was not allowed past the passage door
Cats seem to pick up creepy things

I spoke to Heather recently and asked about wiggles the orange cat …..but she never answered me …..she had issues with him peeing inside
however we took care of him for 3 months ..and he never peed inside once ….he slept on a cold laminex table ( in winter ) till I bought him a bed

photo of the remains of the vase that exploded…it was really thick glass

These are the kinds of stories that make me think that there has to be something we don't understand going on.

That’s vase was sitting on the kitchen window shelf about 60 cm ..2 foot above the sink ….it made a big bang when it exploded and one half landed on the sink itself …look how thick the glass itself was …...I had other photos of it , I must have binned them …I’ve got so photos many …on my iPad



I’ve looked up how to transfer many of the photos to my newer laptop that’s got next to nothing on it

Kate, the vase shattering might not have bothered me so much because glass suffers from thermal stress and can explode suddenly. There was a time in Oz when people bought glass top tables and suddenly the glass would shatter.

However, the shadow coming out of the room would be enough for me to scarper out of there. You are a brave lady to stay. I keep an open mind about these things because one never knows…
