Jumping ahead again to one of the most haunted places in my home anyway, the two overstuffed armchairs in front of my sitting room fireplace. It is a perfect spot for curling up with a good book, or good conversation and I have come to think of it as rather the perfect little nook.

I have had several experiences in which something akin to a fire ghost might be drawn to flame, often the bigger the better, but I wouldn’t say that is what draws back a regular friend of mine who has been hanging about in that spot for years now off and on.

I believe the real cause of the paranormal activity in this location is my own feeling about it and my regular stays in that one spot.

I have on many nights found myself in the middle of so much activity that it seems too small a space to hold so many different beings, though certainly they are not restricted to the same special confinements we are. On other nights I get only a few minutes of a little oddity here and there and then all is quiet.

On one night, a little over a year ago, a paranormal friend (not exactly a ghost,) came to visit and was quite excited though he would not reveal the source of his jubilant mood. He merely told me to make certain that the wood in the fireplace was good and dry and then to get comfortable and wait, he even invited me to read while he went off to do whatever it was he needed to do in order to accomplish his task.

After about two hours he returned and told me to be ready. As I watched, I saw sparks begin the flutter here and there in the logs. Eventually there was smoke and finally a good flame. Within a half an hour I had a roaring fire that had seemingly come from nowhere.

When I congratulated my friend on his accomplishment he informed me that he was not responsible for the fire at all, but had found another being that could perform such tasks. Though I had great difficulty communicating with that other being we managed between the three of us.

That was the only night I have ever witnessed that particular act, but every year when the weather turns cold I wonder whether or not I will once again be treated to a fire show and the wonder that such an amazing feat can be performed by a being I might not otherwise even know was present.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.
