Walnut Grove Farm

Who are the residents everyone comes to encounter? Over the 21 years the family has been on the farm, there are some energies that have made their presence known. Some nights are far more active than others. 

WHO THEY ARE:
The Quiet Little One: about 5-6 yrs old, he likes to observe mostly, but if it's quiet & the coyotes are out, he will sometimes try to hold your hand or tug at your shirt. He is shy, often tags along for barn chores. 

The Twins: These two are about 8 or 9, the most likely ones you'll SEE, tan pants, white shirts, always beyond arm's reach. They are curious, always together and laugh a lot. They don't really bother folks but they sure do enjoy when you slip, stumble, hammer your thumb while fixing fences or drop something. You'll catch them giggling. You may even catch a glimpse of them laughing before they dash away!

The Victorian Widow: this lady dressed in black is one of the most visible and regular entities we see. She never leaves the cemetery. She slowly moves back-and-forth between two large stones. Long black dress & veil of Victorian style. On nights with heavy fog you can hear her softly sobbing. 

The Sailor: This big energy is one of the more intimidating energies. He's never done anything physically to anyone, but his presence is often abrupt, stark & startling. Woolen hat, pea coat, arms crossed, he seems stern, displeased & defensive. Best to be polite & say yes sir when he shows up. He seems to wander the farm more than others

The Observer: (The creeper) This one is always in the woods, watching. He makes the owner uneasy & she won't go in the woods alone after dusk because of this one. At first you see the dark silhouette leaning against a tree ~30-40' away, then you see it in a different location ~20' away... and it keeps creeping closer. This one seems to enjoy making girls feel uneasy & is one to watch out for & STAY with a Buddy. It doesn't get as close if you have a friend with you. 

The Prankster: This energy is one that manifests. It likes to turn barn lights on, lock barn doors when you're inside the barn, close and latch the tack room door behind you. It once startled party goers by turning on all the headlights of 20+ cars at one time. Locked, old manual lights & auto lights with remotes... 1980's Hondas & Fords to 2000's BMWs & Chevies... ALL HEAD LIGHTS ON AT ONCE. the party fell silent as we sat around the fire contemplating who was walking up the hill to turn off the old school headlights manually. Many partygoers have not since returned to the farm. This one seems to like electronics. It will play with your flashlight, your cell phone and other recording devices. When it decides to come out and play, everybody's going to know it's here.
The Whisperer: this one doesn't like to be seen but likes to be heard. He whispers, faintly but clear as a bell in one of your ears:  "What are you doing?" "Why are you here?" "Are you supposed to be here?" "Come over here." among other questions. Do not talk back to this one. Never talk back. It sometimes sounds as if he is standing right behind you... or less than a few feet away. Of all those who have heard him, he doesn't usually make even a flicker on the emf meters. The owners thought there was an actual person in the woods because the dogs acted as if they heard it too... hackles up & on alert...This one might not be as sociable as the others. 

The Pitcher: this one loves to toss walnuts, pebbles, Osage oranges and other small items at you.  No one has ever been hit by the FIRST tosses. When he starts tossing things, the items usually land along side or on the trail and roll toward you. Sometimes it's a few consecutive items and sometimes it's dozens at once. DO NOT toss anything back. It's ok to talk to this one, but don't play toss! You LOSE this game, be aware you can't CATCH dark items hurled at you in the dark & the next tosses are more like torpedos. There might be one, there might be dozens. DO NOT ENGAGE IN THE GAME.  

The Follower: this one loves to mock you. It follows behind you, just ever so slightly out of step with you… It likes to snap twigs and crunch leaves on the trail just behind you. It wanders the farm, it enjoys scuffling through rocks gravel and tall grass behind you it's one that is frequently day active. The dogs notice it but don't act alarmed. The cows, sheep and horses often look at it just behind you. No person has reported seeing it. Many people tell the owner: I thought you were right behind me on the way up to the barn... shocked when they see her doing something at the bottom of the lane. 

The Jokester: this energy likes to rearrange things. If you twist your bike lock & leave it, when you return to unlock it, you may discover it rearranged the letters to spell words like bald, butt and fart... it likes to move keys, shoes, phones and other small items. Many times the cat gets blamed, but the cat doesn't play with toys, let alone human items. If you place loose change on the dresser, this one like to flip them all to heads or tails... it turns on electric candles in the middle of the night, takes Christmas ornaments off of trees and occasionally opens the windows upstairs. 

The Scary One : this one is the only one that seems threatening. It is associated more with the house and barn. It likes to stomp through the loft/attic, slam doors, rattle shutters & windows. Occasionally you see a very dark figure standing in doorways, at the top of the stairs or in the loft. Dark is an understatement, it seems like a deep dark hole, consuming the very light around it. It is not just a shadow or outline like the others. It is doubtful this one will show up on the trail, by the vehichles or in the fields. If it does, divert your eyes and go about your business do not act phased. Do NOT stare at it. Those who have stared at it have reported red or yellow eyes & being stricken with a heavy sense of impending doom, a forlorn and hopeless feeling. It shows off if you watch. When people act scared, it intensifies what it is doing. This one is definitely different from the prankster. At first the owner didn't recognize them as two energies. But The prankster likes to be outside and likes fiddling with electronics. The prankster is more benign and wants to be part of the party...The Scary One likes to make noise and move large inanimate objects, it does not mess with electricity. It is the most menacing of the manifestations. It's most common behavior is being upstairs stomping from one end of the house or barn to the other. It sounds like it's moving furniture sometimes but nothing is ever out of place. When it shows up, it's here for extended periods, weeks to months… you won't see any of the other entities for a few days before hand and several weeks afterwards.  I don't think the other energies like it when this one shows up. The owner says the dogs intentionally ignore this energy but often flinch when the noise gets too much. The dogs get clingy and don't want to be in the barn when it is about to show up.
