A Haunted Hotel Room and a toothbrush

 One of the things that I find amusing is watching Sandy’s evolution in regards to his acceptance of the strange energies that seem to surround my family.

He started out as a flat out denier.

That all started to change after my father died in 2007, but I will save those stories for another time.

Sandy now seemed to accept that there were some things we couldn’t quite understand, but his baseline was still to try to find some scientific explanations for some of the strange goings on.

This following story from my book was one of the things that he couldn’t explain away.

It was 2010. Sandy, Alana and I were in Florida visiting Sandy’s mom. Lauren wasn’t able to join us for that particular visit.

Our hotel room had two double beds. It was the first night of our trip.

After testing all of the pillows (Loyal readers may recall that my youngest daughter is the pillow princess) and negotiating who got to claim the best one, Alana got herself settled in bed. She had her laptop all set up, with plans to stay awake a little bit longer than we were.

She announced, “Okay, you can turn off the light now”. The moment she said that, before either of us had made a move for the switch, the light shut off. Aside from the small glow from her computer, the room was pitch black.

“Who did that?” we asked.

“It wasn’t me!!” she replied from the dark.

Okay, well thank you I guess

The next morning when we went into the bathroom, we noticed something strange.

In the glass where three of us had placed our toothbrushes, now there were four. None of us could come up with any reasonable explanation where an extra toothbrush had come from.

At least our hotel spirit had good oral hygiene?

This may have been the point where Sandy gave up and just shrugged his shoulders.
