The Music Always Plays

I don't know what to make of this.  I jog nightly for my health.  Every time I go past this one house in my neighborhood I hear a harmonica playing a song I heard as a child some 30 years ago.  The song was on a record my parents got me & I used to play it alot.

I don't know anything about the house.  It looks to be about 20 years old, like the other houses in my neighborhood.  I don't know anybody who lives there or anything about the history of the house.  It doesn't remind me of anything or anybody.  It's just a house.  I don't know why the same song would show up each time I go by it.  I can be playing my iPod & not even thinking about the house & the same song will show up in my brain as I go by it.

Two days ago I was driving my daughter to school & she started singing the song right after we drove by the house.  Talk about freaking me out.  I didn't say anything to her but I did get cold chills from hearing her voice singing that song,

I have never told anyone about this before now.

Weird Signs

I got weird signs when I lived in FL telling me to move out of that state. I lived there for 6 years and saw all kinds of weird stuff. Here are some weird things that happened to me down there.

I had a co-worker who was hired as a temp on my project at work to do data entry. He was quiet and kind of strange. The girls I worked with said he made them nervous. They said the guy would just stare at them. The guy left the job after the assignment and I left the job for another job later in the year. Months later I heard about a terrible shooting in a St. Petersburgh, FL Radio Shack from a friend. I didn't think much about it. I saw it on the news and they showed the guy who shot 4 people. It was the guy I worked with and he used to sit beside me in meetings. Very weird.....

One night I tried to go home to my apartment but the police barracaded the entire road and said that a shooter was on the loose. He went into a bait/convenience store near my apartment and pulled out a gun and threatened to kill himself and other people. I couldn't go into my apartment so I had to go to a friend's place to sleep.

A week later I heard someone beating on my neighbors door about 9:30 PM in my apartment complex. It was the police and a abulance crew. I walked outside and asked what was happening. The police asked who lived here and wanted to know if they were causcasian, black, latin etc.. and his age. I told him there were always 3 caucasian males in their 30's going in and out of the apartment. I figured they were gay because they acted weird and were effiminent. I told him that they never spoke to me. I asked the policeman what had happened and he said that they thought the guy who rented the apartment had been in a bad wreck and had fled the scene. The policeman said someone saw the guy go into his apartment. I said I hadn't heard anyone so I didn't know. I saw the police and the ambulance crew go into the apartment and look around. The next day I saw the 2 guys go into the apartment and move everything out and had heard the guy died. Very weird.

I saw a lady yell at the pharmacist in a pharmacy asking for some type of medicine. She said she was addicted. The pharmacist said he couldn't help her and told her to go to a drug addiction clinic. I also saw a guy yelling at birds sitting on the power lines. I think he was mentally ill. I saw all kinds of weird stuff down there. I felt the state was evil and full of evil people.

Anyway,while I was driving my moving van out of FL when I experienced a bad storm that came out of nowhere as I was crossing the FL, GA line. My friend was behind me in his car. The storm followed us in northern FL and then disappeared right when we crossed the GA state line. It disappeared as we crossed the state line and the GA side had sunny weather. It was surreal. My friend that helped me move knew my crazy FL stories and he noticed the same thing. He thought it was strange also..
I saw more things but those are the highlights

I'll Go First

In 1979 the six of us were best friends in high school.  We were all walking up a hill on a dirt trail through the middle of an apple orchard.  It was a clear night, I can't remember if the moon was full but it was light enough for us to not really need the flashlight that was being carried.

About 10 minutes into the walk we had crested the top of the hill & were busy talking about whatever it is teenagers talk about when one by one, we noticed what sounded like footsteps following beside us.  (btw, none of us were drinking or doing any drugs at the time)

We collectively slowed down & looked to our right--there was...something...I'm not sure what, looking back at us.  It was tall, very hairy, & had animal eyes!

It scared us so badly that we all took off running down the hill with the the thing following close behind.  We could hear it crashing through the underbrush.  It finally stopped following us when we got to the clearing at the edge of the orchard.  We didn't really talk about it much after that.

Fast forward, 20 years later.  I had lost track of my old high school friends till the reunion, & was pleased to re-meet them.  After the party I was sitting on the porch with one of the guys in the group & casually asked him if he remembered seeing anything odd one night on a walk with us.  He got a strange look on his face & said, "do you mean that monster that chased us down the hill that night?  What the heck was that thing?  I still think about it somctimes & it scares the crap out of me."

Since then I have re-confirmed the story with another person who was there.  We all saw the same thing but none of us can figure out what we saw. 

There's my story.

At least one of them.
