I think there might be a ghost in my room. Not because it’s almost Halloween… but I have to admit, that IS a convenient time for a ghost to drop by for a visit.
I’m staying at a homestay in Indonesia. The lady who owns it has a little shitzu dog.
He’s the most chill dog ever.
I’ve been here for 5 months and the only time I’ve heard him bark is when a street dog randomly came inside the homestay area and attacked him.
He does not bark.
He does not lick.
He does not bite.
Basically, he’s a stuffed animal that moves around sometimes.
He comes into my room during the daytime sometimes, just to pretend he likes me so he can use me for my AC.
The strangest thing happened last week, though.
It was almost 10pm and all of the sudden, I hear barking outside my door.
So I looked outside and there was Moshie, just barking up a storm and he bolted inside my room.
He went straight over towards my desk and started looking towards the ceiling, barking still.
He looked like a twitchy dog with tourettes because he kept barking and looking at different parts of the ceiling, his eyes darting everywhere.
He moved from the desk to a few feet over, his eyes sort of on the ceiling the whole time.
But also sort of not.
I couldn’t get him to stop.
This went on for almost 20 minutes.
I even tried to bribe him out of there with food.
Then all of the sudden, he was normal again and left.
Well, again tonight.
It was almost 10 pm.
There was a bark outside my door.
This time he darted in my room, straight past me…
...towards the bathroom and just started sniffing around like he was looking for something.
Then I remembered that dogs are suppose to be sensitive to ghosts and things.
I’ve had an internal debate for a long time about whether I
think ghosts are real or not…which is kind of a fun perfect topic for Halloween time!
My mom said after her dad died, her dog used to randomly bark like crazy out of nowhere. Staring at nothing.
Kind of acting like a crazy animal.
