Nice to meet you. I am your ghost.


I was dreaming about the house I grew up in last night. I have been dreaming about this place since my dad sold it when I was 18. It is crazy. My dreams about it are always so vivid that sometimes I think if I were to go visit the new owners they might recognize me as the person who has been haunting it for the last several years.
I decided if I ever win a lottery I will buy that house back and just let it sit there empty. Maybe I will let some single parent with too many kids live in it for free. I don't ever want to live in Eagle River, Alaska again, but I want to own that house. My family built it together before the family fell apart. It is the last standing symbol of what once was once upon a time. The place haunts me as much as I haunt it. I think it needs to be in my family.

In my dream there was heavy snowfall. I was sitting by the window watching it snow. Watching the plows go through the neighborhood creating the high banks.

I woke up and it was snowing here.

If you Go Here and click on the Satellite button in the upper right corner it will show you the house I grew up in.
