THE SPIRIT GUIDE
By, Danielle Lee



Some spirits simply make themselves a part of the family. A story I received from a beautiful little family near Red Deer, Alberta. They moved into a house on an old acreage. A very old farmhouse was relocated only meters away from where it was first erected, but moved onto a basement and renovated into a wonderful family home. The young couple, recently married, prepared themselves for a wonderful life together in their new domain, planning future Christmas’s, birthdays and of course, children.

The wife, whom we’ll call Chantel, and the husband, Dave, enjoyed their new home, decorating and entertaining. The odd happenings of the home started very soon after they moved in. Dave was in the basement one day and happened to hear the water taps being turned on in the nearby bathroom. Thinking he wasn’t alone, he curiously approached the bathroom to see who was using the taps, considering only he and his wife were in the house.

Upon nearing the doorway, he saw no one in the washroom. Puzzled, he approached the sink to turn off the taps, struggling a little due to the fact that the taps were very old and not very easy to turn.

He went upstairs and confronted his wife, thinking that she’d absent-mindedly left the taps on. She proclaimed vehemently that she hadn’t even been downstairs yet and had never even used that sink yet.
