"The house that was not at rest"




The house that was not at rest...

My husband and myself were trying to reconcile our differences after being separated for a while.I was living in Arizona at the time. My husband relocated from down the hill from Fullerton Ca. to Victorville Ca. in the high desert. So we decided to try it again. I moved back with him. Of course this was not my ideal place of choice to reside but he had landed this great job that he could not pass down. His boss who was the owner of the business offered him his house to rent which was now unoccupied because him and his wife were now going to get a divorce. The rent was so low it was unbelievable especially for such a large house on 1and half acre or land. The only thing we had to do was storage some of their belongings for a while. Which was very minimal.

Within a small time I became pregnant with our first child. I got a job as a teacher close to home. While my husband was pretty much married to his job.

I decided one day to start a garden in the back yard we had plenty of room on this big piece of land. As I was digging my garden up I unearthed some strange pieces of papers. Come to find out these papers had satanic signs on them. That kind of scared me. I threw the papers away and tried to put it out of my mind.

One night alone in my bedroom I heard a really loud sound at my window which sounded like a gun shot. It really startled me so. My husband rushed outside to see what it was but came to no conclusions. The next day we investigated and found a large clear imprint of a bird on the window, but there was no bird to be found...

As time progressed things became to get much stranger.

I had a an old dresser which was handed down to me from my mother and handed down from her mother and so on it was pretty old and since my grandmother is past it is very sentimental to me and valuable.
strange thing is every morning at 4:00 A.M. the dresser would creak like someone or something was opening and closing it. My husband would say that it was just old wood settling. Strange was that in the past I never heard unusual noises coming from that piece of furniture.

Something was just not right about the house. I just couldn't put my finger on it. I always felt like I was being watched by someone knowing no one was there. My husband didn't worry too much when he was gone. The house came with top of the notch alarm system. Even though the house was isolated from neighbors. If anything did happen my husband was just minutes away. I never felt comfortable being on my own which was most of the time, due to my husband being absent because of his job.

When the old tenants left they also left two dogs which we happily took good care of. Strange thing was they both had the fear of coming in the house but we took no notice. Adventually one of the dogs died due to old age. So we decided to get a dog of our own.

We came to find out that the house we lived in was commercial land. So it was also used for small businesses. One of the businesses was held as a place where they held cars that were being used for funerals and limos which included hearses. Did this have something to do with what's been happening? Somehow I really didn't think so.

The noises continued as usual...

One day some religious people came by our home and I shared some of the things that were happening and they advised me to do a cleansing which consisted of riding of anything that I may have had that had any kind of negativity attached to it like horror movies or books. They even mentioned that my angel statues could hold some kind of spirituality. At this point I was willing to do anything that would bring peace to my home.
After cleansing my home nothing changed. ..

One particular day my husband didn't have to be into work till later. So as we were having our morning coffee. We both witnessed first hand something that was meant to get our full attention.... A little girls voice very loudly and clearly saying "mommy where are you mommy? I cant find you, I cant find you mommy" We both looked at each other in total shock. ,My husband ran out of the house thinking he was going to find someone outside to find no one. Remember, we're in the desert with no neihbors near or passerby's.
I felt so disturbed by this even to this day it gives me the chills.

The monthly visit to the prenatal doctor for my exam was here again. My husband accompanied me this time. This was his first time I was so excited so he could share with me this special moment on our baby's development. The first heartbeat and ultrasound he was excited also Im sure. Then something happened that was so unexpected....
Something was wrong the nurse could not get the baby to move, I thought maybe it was asleep. The dr. then came in and examined. No heartbeat, could this really be happening? The doctor expressed his deep expression of sorrow. Our baby was dead.
I thought myself in this nightmare and I couldn't wake up.

Could this voice of this little girl that we heard in our home be a message?
I will never know.

We left the home in the later months. Who knows if other tenants were bothered by this house as we were. We never ever felt uncomfortable in any other home after or before. And also my dresser never did creak anymore...
