Glad you solved the beetle mystery, but bummer that it wasn't a ghost. How cool would that have been? LOL!
Yea, seriously I was like WTF...LOL I couldn't figure out where they were coming from and was so relieved when I did....
Hmmm a ghost.... would be cool, but I've also had a ghost experience that scared the heeby jeebies out of me.... I think my old recording studio was haunted....
So one night, among many, alone in the studio at like 3am. My studio was in a little industrial park that after business hours there really was nobody around for blocks... I didn't always but sometimes would get the feeling as if I wasn't alone, even though all doors were locked and nobody was even on the street let alone within a block... never paid much attention to it... but 1 night... that all changed...
I was up... it was about 3am and the speakers when on (pro studio speakes) had a very very slight hissing noise when on, almost like a very subtle white noise (for all the audio buffs out there). This was normal and I was sitting back, editing some songs and I started to hear a conversation among the subtle white noise/hissing. Being that I am a recording engineer, my ears have been trained to tune into distinct sounds so I tried to listen and determine where the "conversation was coming from". I couldn't exactly place where, but it sounded like it was coming from behind my speakers which was a wall, and behind that wall was a hallway to the back of the studio where we had screen printing machines. (nobody was there). The studio was also built with soundproofing and isolation techniques to limit any sound transmission so usually it was dead silent....
I couldn't make out what was being said in the ghostly conversation so I decided to get up, go to the back of the shop where the screen printing machines were to have a cig and smoke a little herb. I get up, walk to the studio door and notice that there is a black cloudy shape covering the door and blocking my vision, almost like a translucent man sized trash bag type look... I was startled, looked down and then back up and it was gone and everything was normal..... so now I'm a little creeped out and really needing that cig and weed to calm my nerves so I go back to the tshirt printing area where we smoked.
So about 2 minutes into smoking my cig I noticed the breeze outside picked up suddenly and across the warehouse area, an aresol can of sticky adhesive we used for printing falls off a shelf across from me onto the floor, and then something sweeps the back of my knee and knocks me off balance... like someone hit the back of my knee to make it buckle....
At this point.... I was definitely scared and whooosh.... put out the cig, turned out the lights, set the alarm code and gone... locked up for the night....
Never could explain it, and it was very odd that the can fell, because it was a full aresol can, heavy and would take quite a strong wind to even knock it down. Plus there were no windows or doors open for a breeze to go through besides some gentle movement of air from the leaks in the big garage door in back.... and then to make physical contact with my knee....No thank you....LOL
I never had another experience there after that, but whatever it was was not happy I was there mixing rap songs at 3am...LOL.
I did have 1 other supernatural experience with an Ouija board once, but I think those things are evil and honestly don't even want to talk about it... lets just say it told me how much change was in my pocket, when I didn't even know.... yep...scary..
