Many discussions have revolved around the paranormal activity in my home, particularly in an area I often refer to as 'the hotspot' which is in fact the N/W corner of my room and closet. Theories have been put forth by sensitives, ghost hunters, mediums and thinkers to the questions "What is it?" and "Why is it there?" and occassionally "Who the heck is in there?!?"
 
Well this weekend Nym and I were poking around in there and speculating about ouija and astral forays ... then she gets this odd look on her face like shes either thinking fast or listening hard and says "Its not a spot its a shaft!"  Well honestly... we sat there and stared at each other and the corner and looked at the evidence.
 
First consider that an untrained but experienced medium says its a portal, and that things are coming and going periodically.
 
There is the history of periodical, sporadic paranormal events of varying intensity... no real consistancy (with the odd exception)
 
Regular 'shadow-man' sightings.... and other coming and goings.
 
The building is built on ground that has seen human habitat for a thousand years, mostly native. From the 1st floor there is an office, 2nd houses a screaming harridan, 3rd, 4th & 5th floors are unknown to me, 6th holds malice and spite, also known as a psychotic bully, the 7th is quiet, the 8th saw a mother strangle her adolescent son, a witch lives on the 9th and on the 10th a young mother threw herself from her balcony.
 
This indicates a moving pattern of fairly negative energy the length of the building or more. Nym likened it to an elevator shaft... my corner may only be a stop along the way, instead of an unexplained focal point. Which gives me a new perspective of possibilities in dealing with it. Personally?... I perfer this theory to the nexus point, because it's nothing personal, lol And it makes me glad to have been warding my home all these years.
 
This theory steers me towards considering a EVP in there for a couple days... granted I know I'd sleep on the couch for the next 2 weeks there after if I actually got anything on tape, lol. ANYways... just me rambling :)

Interesting...a shaft....ok, that does seem to answer a few questions. Personally, I never did think it was a personal thing, as far as it being connected to you, (which would tend to follow you if you moved kinda thing). I figured it was connected to the land, since I figure, the buildings too new for these types of things. But, it raises another question. A shaft from where to where? We know from Einstein, and others that space/time holes are theoretically possible, so, it appears that this could be explained in such a manner as this. Imagine the universe at atomic levels, as a matrix of energy paths, similar to the labaryths depicted in old Pict carvings. These energy lines run through everything, and we are all following these paths. Sometimes these paths converge, some never do. If there are multiple dimensions to this matrix, one dimension may be time or something we can't imagine, some sort of death dimensions (the where we go when we die place). You seem to have an interdimensional matrix short circuit in the area of the corner of your apartment! Not the first ever, but unwelcome in any case.
I wonder, if you were to do your visualization exercises now, with this new shaft perception, whether it would help you to actually see this better.
Also, if it is a wormhole of some sort, these could open and close periodically, which also could explain the inconsistancy of sightings.
I'm curious Red, have you ever observed a compass in the area? Also, the floors you listed with occupants...are they directly in line with your apartment vertically?
I mean, really, you have an area right there for study! How much more convienant could it be! Keep a log! And ummm, next time the elavator stops on your floor, check the back corner and get your rock......just make sure to step out before the doors close......

Now isn't that food for thought... hmmm. The idea of it being part of a large energy grid isn't a stretch either ... it would be interesting to try some dowsing.
 
I wonder, if you were to do your visualization exercises now, with this new shaft perception, whether it would help you to actually see this better.
Can you elaborate on this?
 
The compass is a good idea... as is the dowsing. And yep the occupants listed are almost directly vertical, except the jumper... she was above and across the hall but on the same route.
 
as for experimental.... hmmm... Any suggestions?

Well as far as visualizing goes, with the mugwort meditations and such, perhaps if you visualized the shaft, you would be able to see it for real or at least detect more about it. When you've visualized in the past, it's been a sort of scattered search, not really knowing what it was you were looking at, a search for an explanation. If the explanation has now been gleamed, perhaps you can start fine tuning, actually tuning yourself into what you suspect to learn more about it. Perhaps on the astral, it is visable?
 
As far as experiments, what I mean is, you seem to have an unexplaned phenomenum in your house! And you have creative abilities! All should serve you! You really have a wonderful opportunity to write a book on this. Write down everything that happens, everything you try, dates, times, make it into a research project. Try dowsing, photgraphs (normal, infrared and ultraviolet), compasses, meditation, ouigi, all the stuff you've been doing (including the protective circles and spells). Then hopefully you can accumulate enough material to write a very interesting best seller!

Questions:  Can you astral travel?  Is there a "safer place" in your apartment?  How about near by to try to 'see' into the shaft?  Like in a nearby park where you can ground and be safe perhaps with Nym to stand guard.  Then you could 'travel' and look over the building.  Perhaps Nym could record what you do or say as you meditate on the shaft.    Just some thoughts,

Red, have you ever entertained the thought of a seance to explore what this portal/shaft might be about? Granted everyone involved in such a gathering would want to take all the proper measures, protection wisem since you're not too sure who/what you might encounter.

I was discussing with Nym last night about using a ouija in there (uh huh... looked at me like I was on crack or something, lol). I'm also considering using my black mirror... and am definitely going to try the evp (electronic voice phenomenom) because last night while trying to sleep, I keep hearing really odd things that don't make sense at 3:30 am... Anyways...
