(DECEMBER, 2002.)
Hi All!

I have 2 new small experiences to recount. Both happened within a few days of one another and both are positive manifestations.

The first one occurred while I was sleeping and dreaming. I was experiencing one of those dreams when you feel almost submerged. I could not wake up for the life of me. I was lucid at one point of the dream and I needed to get up (I had to urinate...sorry kinda gross lol). Suddenly I got three taps from small semi-cupped hand on my right outer thigh. I woke up thinking it was my boyfriend but I saw that he was sleeping in the opposite direction from me with his hands no where near me, he was sound asleep. I knew it hadn't been me because the wrist had been positioned away from me (turned the other direction). I also realized the hand was too delicate to be mine too since I have a chubbier hand. I felt then it had been my guide helping me with waking up. I thanked her and smiled, afterall it was extremely helpful of her.
NOTE: This similar type of occurence has happened to me before so I recognized it pretty quickly.

On Christmas evening (after having most of my family stuff on Christmas Eve) I was alone. My boyfriend was out at his Mother's. I was not feeling well and I was starting to nap. It was very quiet in the apartment. My dog was sleeping in the bed with me. While I rested I heard a gentle chiming coming from my kitchen. My chimes which hang in a corner of my kitchen were chiming nicely by themselves. This lasted about half a minute. I was feeling quite ill so I didn't get up. I wasn't nervous though.The chiming was gentle and sounded very much like a simple "hello". I fell asleep soon after. NOTE: My chimes have never chimed by themselves. I do not have a home which is affected by vibrations from outside sources and I think other noises or movement from other objects might have been heard if that were the case.
Febuary 2003. Some new occurrences at my new job
It would seem that my new job at another hotel (right across the street from my old job) is also haunted. You see, less than ten years ago it used to be a very disreputable place. It used to be a vagrant's hotel which featured very inexpensive rooms to a variety of people including drug abusers and alcoholics (etc). About five years ago the property was purchased by a large firm which has made it a duty to restore the buildings facade and all the rooms in it's interior. At present the company has restored and renovated nearly half of the two buildings. There remains however, floors of rooms not open to the public. I got hired at this hotel about three weeks ago. I was already  aware of the hotels past since I was told about it at the interview. When I arrived the first day to train I knew if I were to feel anything it would be in the first few weeks, since I know I am better to detect things in less familiar areas. I can honestly say that the first day I only felt a temperature change and electricity (the feeling of hairs rising on your body) on the tenth floor of one of the building and also that I had sensed a male presence. About five days ago however , I was working on my own. I was very focused on my work since I had just begun and there was a lot of work ahead of me. I was at the very end of the hall in the room right next (by about 5 feet) from the maid's closet door. I was making the bed and I heard a rustling in the corner and then the electric key card door open gently. I thought for a moment that it was one of the housemen filling the shelves with supplies. But then I stopped and realized he would not be able to move past my cart and other stuff I had outside in the hall. I wanted to see if he wanted some help. I went to the room door. The locker was about a quarter open, with the lights out. There was no one in the hall....nobody alive anyways. I did begin to sense a very strong presence as I had before when I heard the rustling (I thought I was sensing one of the housemen). I had a very clear image in my head of this man and I felt he travels around the hallways all over the hotel since it felt very much like the same presence I felt on the tenth floor. I was then on the 2nd floor. As I cleaned the rooms along the hall for the next fifteen minutes I could sense "him" at the area near the closet. I could see him standing there. Twice I saw something shadowy move out of the corner of my eye. Then when I looked head-on I could see (in my minds eye) the image of a crumpled up body in front of the last room door in front of the maid closet door. I then viewed this man as he tried to get into his room but had collapsed from what I sensed psychically was fluid on the lungs (I felt raspy and out of breath). I sensed also that it had taken a while before anyone had noticed the body in the hallway (perhaps overnight) and I saw the man that had found him. Well, I could see the back of him that is. He was taller with dark hair and younger too. He had been wearing a blue coat which was 3/4 length. He also wore black ski style boots. I could see him bend down to see if the man was alright, then I saw him hastily move his hands checking for signs of life and then the impression turned back to the spirit standing there. The spirit commmunicated that he had found warmth and comfort here and he did not want to leave. I could see the general look of his face and clothing, he looked to be about 60 and had layered clothing of brown and grey. He wore a hat and was about 5'10 in height and was about 150 pounds with a mix of grey and red hair. He was trying to work a key into the door when he collapsed so this could be something which would help me date this event since all doors in the buildings are key cards. Well, this all happened in a matter of twenty minutes. Then I really had to get back to work. Perhaps I will learn more about this man as time goes on? I'll update you if I do.
