The Last (and shortest) Spooky Tale

I have several more spooky stories, but enough is enough...so this is the last one (for now).

Most of my spooky stories are from events that happened before I turned 25.  Since then, I occasionally smell stale cigarette smoke in the house and wonder if my mom is visiting--and that's not scary.

But there are other things going on that ARE scary!

--Some nights as I try to go to sleep, the blanket mysteriously slides off me (sometimes quickly, all at once...sometimes slowly).

--Some mornings I wake up with strange marks or bruises.

--Most nights I hear terrible, frightening noises in the house.

Am I being haunted? 

I wish!  All of these things are simply among the benefits of being married.  LOL! 

My wife does a tuck 'n roll with the blankets in her sleep; apparently she has restless leg (and elbow) syndrome; and recently she's started snoring (we're investigating the cause, hopefully it's nothing serious). 

Thankfully the government shutdown is over.  Now that I'm back at work I can start catching up on my sleep.  :D

    1. lol, I don't blame you! I'm too curious for my own good. My SIL used to live in a Civil War era-house and claimed she had ghosts. Whenever we visited them, I would try to recreate the situations that they said caused them to see/hear things....but it never worked out for me.

    1. It's not as funny this morning. It was chilly last night and I lost the blanket. Now I have a sore throat and that pre-cold feeling. :( I need a separate blanket of my own!

  5. Is your bed against the wall? I get bruises too and it should be caused by the wall or else I'm going to be very creeped out o.O

  6. Ha! My first thought was "your wife must not read your blog!" If she does, my guess is you might be in for an intentional double dose of all the scary things in your post. :-)

    1. I think she doesn't visit as often as she used to. I like to throw in posts like this once in a while as a test. :)
      I can't express how much I appreciate the friends who do take the time to stop by and comment. :D

  7. My husband always steals the blankets, so I have to start the night off with more on my side and then I tuck it under me so that he can't steal it in the middle of the night. :)

    1. That's smart! I need to do that...and start going to bed before she does so I can start out with the covers (and maybe get to sleep before the snoring starts). :)

    1. I'm guessing she hasn't read it. But it's not really a guess, I'm sure I'd know if she had. :D
