I LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY BACK IN THE EARLY 1980`S.

ON ONE OCCASION, I WAS PLAYING GUITAR IN MY BEDROOM WHEN I HEARD SOMETHING HIT THE FLOOR. I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A SMALL DIRT CLOD. I THOUGHT SOME ONE HAD TOSSED IT INTO THE ROOM WHILE I WAS SINGING. I SEARCHED THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND NOBODY WAS THERE. AT THE TIME I WAS LIVING WITH MY DAD & STEPMOM,BUT THEY WERE AT THE OREGON COAST THAT WEEKEND.
I PUT THE DIRT CLOD ON MY BED AND STARTED PLAYING GUITAR AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES A SECOND CLOD HIT THE FLOOR AND BOUNCED UP ABOUT A FOOT. I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT OF THE ROOM TO CATCH WHOM EVER WAS DOING THIS, NO BODY THERE!!
I AGAIN SEARCHED THE ENTIRE HOUSE, DOUBLE CHECKED ALL THE DOORS AND LOCKS. WENT BACK TO MY ROOM AND AGAIN CHECKED THE WINDOWS WHICH WERE CLOSED AND LOCKED. I THEN LOCKED THE BEDROOM DOOR AND STARTED PLAYING GUITAR AGAIN. 10 MINUTES OR SO LATER WHILE I`M STRUMMING THE GUITAR AND LOOKING BACK AND FORTH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON A THIRD CLOD CAME FROM STRAIGHT DOWN AND BOUNCED APPROX.2 FEET OFF THE CARPET!!! I IMMEDIATELY GOT A CHILL KNOWING THIS WAS NO ORDINARY PRANK. I THREW THE GUITAR ON THE BED GRABBED MY CAR KEYS AND LEFT THE HOUSE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. I STILL HAVE ONE OF THE CLODS TO THIS DAY IN A SMALL WOODEN BOX I MADE IN HIGH SCHOOL. ABOUT 2005 I TOLD A NEIGHBOR THIS STORY AND HE WANTED TO SEE THE DIRT CLOD. AFTER HOLDING IT A FEW MINUTES, GREEN PATCHES APPEARED ON THE BACK OF HIS HAND AND FOREARM. HE IMMEDIATELY WENT DOWN STAIRS AND TRIED TO WASH THE GREEN PATCHES OFF BUT THEY DID NOT DISAPPEAR UNTIL AN HOUR OR SO LATER ON THEIR OWN.
