Now I've seen it all!

I've ranted and roared previously about the state of the drivers in Newfoundland. Not really Newfoundland as a whole but particularly the St. John's area. I've seen drivers do everything while driving; texting, talking on cell phones, eating hamburgers, putting on makeup, and reading magazines and newspapers. A couple of weeks ago I even saw a child lying on the back window of a car while the driver drove through Kilbride! It seems that drivers in the St. John's area are not that bright when it comes to driving a vehicle. They would rather do anything except concentrate on driving. I've even witnessed police officers talking on cells while driving, but that is another rant for sure! Yesterday I have seen something that was a little astonishing. A man driving a motorcycle with one hand and texting on a blackberry with the other!

Now I don't know much about driving a motorcycle, but I would have thought that you need two hands to drive a motorcycle. Apparently not! The guy didn't even try to hide the fact he was doing this. He pulled up directly next to me at the light and only looked up occasionally to see when the light changed and then drove off again, still with the blackberry in his hand! Everytime I think I have seen it all, something else more astonishing comes up. What's next I wonder?

A New Haunting

I have had strange experiences at work; although none in more recent months; but now something strange is happening at home. I have always had a feeling about the house I live in, although I always attributed it to the fact that I just don't like living in the Goulds, never have and never will.

Many months ago, my wife woke up in the middle of the night and saw a little girl standing next to her bed. It was not our daughter Madison, as she could see that Madison was sound asleep in her bed. My wife was able to describe the little girl down to her hair and what she was wearing. She told me this the next morning, when I arrived home from work and I never had no real reaction to it. But in the back of my mind, maybe the feeling I was having were of a haunting nature.

Anyway forward to last night, August 9, 2010, approximately 10:20 pm, in our living room. I was sitting on one side, my wife on the other and Madison on the floor watching television. All of a sudden I hear a little girls voice come from our hallway. I could not hear exactly what was said but it was definitely a young child's voice. I turned and looked toward the hallway and noticed that my wife looked at the same time. We both just looked at each other but did not say anything. Neither one of us were sure what we heard. Then I asked, "Did you just hear a little girl's voice?" She replied "Yes!" It quickly gave me goose bumps and I went and walked down the hallway, and experienced the same sort of chill in the air I received at work in certain areas of the building. About 10 minutes later, my wife asked me again, "You did hear that girl's voice, right?" I told her I did. So the feeling I was having in that house was probably ghost related, although I still don't like living in the Goulds; never have and never will.
