Not the only with 'ghosty' issues.

Got this email from CC the other day....

Just thought of you because you freaked recently due to water cooler and dog barking. I don't think my place is haunted but I swear I just heard a low deep voice say my dog's name "Jake". I had to go and look to make sure nobody was here. Last week I woke up in the middle of the night to some guy saying "Hey" in my room. Okay, Ms. Psychologist...what is with me hearing voices??? Am I a nutcase???? Or should I just burn some sage in the house. :)

Which kinda made me laugh!! I'm not the only one hallucinating something fierce. Luckily, things have toned down a bit for me. Well, I still hear odd things just before going to bed, but I'm chalking it up to just 'house sounds'.

I replied to CC with the following response:

First off...same voice different voice?? I guess the answer doesn't really matter because I would SAGE THE HELL OUT OF YOUR PLACE!!!!!! Regardless. All rooms (I do 4 corners, NESW, and the middle of the room too...and don't forget your closets!!! that's a total of 9 spots, 10 with closets, in 1 room). And I usually repeat over and over "negative out, positive in"... OH!! And I sage windows and door ways if I'm really spooked. Where ever you thought you heard the voice I would sage a little bit longer. But I'm OCD crazy like that.

If you wanted a 'rational' answer to the voice I would say that due to all the studying and the stress from school, that at night when the brain is trying to slow down, you might have extra synapses firing, causing an auditory hallucination. And that over stimulated brains, at times, are prone to cause over active imagination in a person when they are trying to calm and wind down for the day.

Doesn't my rational response sound like I actually have a faint clue of what I'm talking about?? I totally impressed myself! HAHA!!

CC is going to sage, just to be on the safe side. I think that's a wise decision. I should probably re-sage just to be on the safe side!!

Rock out, with sage.
