I'm something of a true crime buff, too. The encounter with the Zodiac scared the heck out of me, but also made me curious about how such people's brains function.

I ran into a woman online once; she had been hitchhiking in the late '70's in Washington (state). She was something of a fearless type, very assertive. A guy in a beige VW Bug picked her up. She said he couldn't have been friendlier, they chatted; it was a good ride. He dropped her off where she needed to go.

Some years later she saw the man's photograph in the newspaper and, yep, the guy who had given her a ride was Ted Bundy. For whatever reason, he had not been at all frightening. Maybe she wasn't his "type." I've read about a few other women he had given rides to, and they reported the same thing...friendly, good-looking, intelligent guy.

btw, your a/c is haunted

She was fortunate. If it had been a later time, it could have been Gary Ridgeway (Green River Killer). Though his focus was sex workers & runaways. A lot of them are like that. I think part of it is they think they're disposable & no one will care.

Many of these killers are intelligent. Many took years to be caught & some never were. Obviously, they also have to be unstable to be taking people's lives. There's a thin line between brilliance & madness.

The line can be blurred. I forgot to respond about my AC. I wish it was haunted, lol. I wouldn't doubt someone has passed here. I don't detect activity. Though I've never had any encounters (open to the experience) I am sensitive to different changes in energy.

One night while lying in bed listening to an ex-girlfriend of mine recount a happy event she'd recently experienced, I saw, without an question, her forehead suddenly glow a deep orange colour which lasted for about 5 seconds. It was unmistakable. Surprised, I told her what had just transpired, and she just smiled and said, 'orange is the colour of healing.' She was a very spiritual person, too. Possibly an angel.

When we first moved into our townhouse, I saw that there was a lock on the door to the storage under the stairs...on the outside.
I couldn't grab my smudging kit fast enough. There was definitely something evil here but I haven't felt it since I removed the lock and cleansed the area before doing the whole house.

A sage smudging can be genuinely helpful for cleansing the environment. I get my healthcare from a Native American clinic, so have learned quite a bit about smudging and such. There's something called a "sage bath." To take a sage bath remove all of your clothing and smudge the sage all around your body, including under your feet.

I watched an episode the other day. It was great. About Romney Wordsworth

I never wear clothing while smudging. I was taught to do it that way.

Yeah, I know. It was. But at the same time, I felt that it was no ordinary coincidence either. I remember I really had the feeling that some kind of higher force, not Jimi Hendrix ghost, was trying to show me something. So, I guess I'll call it a synchronicity.

Ted Bundy is not unique. Human monsters have an uncanny ability to hide in plain site. He's your next door neighbor mowing the yard, he's the guy that manages the local grocery store, the guy you think is super cool. The last person on earth who could slaughter people. That's why they get away with it for so long. People can't see them for what they really are, a monster.

You can buy it everywhere here in Oklahoma. I had a therapist who is Pottawotomi (sp?). She retired. I still miss getting to snuggle down in her bison hide during our EMDR sessions.

Of course.

I went to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Museum in 2018. I started getting emails from them over a year after I went. It was creepy that they were just then sending the emails.

Yeah it was cool. The stairs were scary though. The museum is huge and it’s several floors. The stairs you can see straight through the bottom and the sides of the stairs are made of glass. So when you walk up the stairs you see the entire museum and for someone with a fear of heights, it was pretty nerve wracking. We took the elevator back down.

But yeah they had a lot of cool stuff like Michael Jackson’s glove and other cool stuff. I have a lot of pictures.

Today is Friday the 13th which reminds me of a wedding I saw several years ago while at a forrest preserve on Friday the 13th. Everyone was dressed in black and the bride, in a black dress, came down the trail riding a horse. I didn’t understand what they were trying to recreate or the symbolism of things. It was just strange.

Not sure if this is strange.

Some time ago, I saw an old schoolmate in the news. Apparently she had committed a horrible crime. It turned out later it was not her, but a woman who coincidentally had a very similar face and they shared the same first name and last name. The middle names were different but started with the same initial.
