Greetings...this is David the ultimate skeptic circa 2001. If you talk about ghosts, spirits, souls, or any other of that nonsense prepare to have a belittling NY'er laughing in your general direction.
Hi, I'm Deanna. Thanks for contacting me on match.com David. How bout we meet for dinner?
Groovy Deanna. Give me an address and time and I'll be there.
Okay to pick me up at 7:30 this Saturday at the house I rent on Shallowford road.
That's when it all started. Picked up the mighty DeAnna who promptly informed me that she was living in an antebellum home here in Georgia that was a makeshift hospital during the war of 'northern aggression'. Additionally, she said, I have daily interactions with 'the Captain' who was a slain army captain during said war.
Riiiiiight.....(David thinks if you weren't so attractive you'd see dust from the skidmarks of my rear tires. )
We eat, smooch, and wind up dating for about a 2 months or so. During this time I'm pressing her relentlessly about the fictitious 'Captain' that she demands is both present and real. I inform her that despite how cool I find her this whole ghost issue gives me real pause. In fact, during one or two of her recollections I simply burst out laughing and was treated to a scowl and lecture on respecting people's beliefs. Well, she's right, but damnit, I couldn't help it! When I told my mom about the captain she said oh, "did Tennille ever show up?" heheh
Now, to be fair, I have to admit the house was a skosh creepy. It had mortar of some kind between the wooden boards on the interior attesting to its age and the one time I was alone there I wished I wasn't. Nevertheless it was likely the unknown jitters.
Soon thereafter we were kissing on her couch and an errant hair, likely from one of the 3 dogs or 2 cats that resided there had hit me on the cheek. Then again. Then again. Intermittently I would brush this invisible hair from my cheek and return to the action at hand. By the fourth time I jumped back, exclaimed "what the fuck is this?" whereby another 'hair' touched the back of my neck. Folks, NSF was freaking. Gazing upon DeAnna she was in a belly-laugh complete with watery eyes and stomach holding. I, however, wasn't laughing at all. She said "david relax, it's just the captain messing with you." Ruh roh.
Two further incidents happened including a breeze out of NOWHERE in the kitchen blowing my hair up, the papers off the counter, and curtains seemingly defying the laws of gravity.
From this time forward, I'm a believer. It was clearly not an easy transition and future happenings too creepy to detail here occurred even without DeAnna present. My sincerest apologies to all those whose worldview re: ghosts, supernatural, and anything else unseen I lambasted in the past with merciless ridicule. You were right, I was un-indoctrinated.
