Speaking of Views.....

Okay, following are a couple of pics I thought I had posted before. Since I hadn't, here they are now.

I have crashed through the ceiling (the one separating the attic from the 2nd floor) twice and have also had a 'near miss' (knocked a lot of ceiling plaster off though). The interesting point about this is that all three spots are within a 3 to 4 foot diameter of where the video of "Percy" was taken.

You can see (kind of) one of the holes and the 'near miss'.

The hole is rather large and I've covered it with cardboard so the insulation won't fall out.

I will be patching these within a month or so.

Here is the second hole.

It's kind of hard to see because it's inside the closet in the library.

As you can see, I took out the light fixture and my foot came to rest on top of the second floor fuse box.

What you do not see is the web of electrical cables the foot that came to rest on the box went through and my other foot got tangled in. For those interested, there are 600 volts going through those lines!

Oh well....just another day in paradise.

Introducing - PERCY!!

Hello again everyone,

Well, the wife will probably kill me for posting this, but several people have asked.

We think that our house might be haunted. Long, long story, but needless to say weird things have happened around here. Perhaps somday I will document these 'happenings' here.

Anyway, last November we had a professional group of paranormal investigators contact us about our house. Through several e-mails we decided to let them have a look. It was the COOLEST think I have seen in years!!! It was just like a CSI episode. Lots of equipment and gear and techi type stuff.

The group that came is called 'The Southeast Kansas Paranormal Investigators' (SKPI for short). Here is their web site: http://blog.myspace.com/sekpi.

If you go to the 'Case Files' page you will see us listed as case file #006. You can read their report.

Attached you will see a couple of photos. The one that looks 'fuzzy' is a still taken from a video they got of 'something' going down the stair-well of th attic. We have named this 'something' Percy.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Here is a photo of our house taken in 1930. In one of the windows you can see what appears to be a very tall (over 7') person standing in the window.

I won't tell you which one. However, the window is in one of the rooms a person died in.

And here he is ~ Percy!!!
