Underground water

     Perhaps, as someone recently suggested, our "ghostly" manifications are in someway connected with underground running water. Now its true that some of the happenings around this place are too material to be caused in such a manner; however, I'm begining to think perhaps the sounds might be. The reason I'm beginning to think that way is due to the fact that this summer, I made an attempt to further block off the spring that perpetually runs through the basement. When this house was built (1857) the spring was handy for fresh water and a form of refrigeration. Now its a pain in the neck. Attempts at diverting it in the past only slowed it down. The attempt I made this summer has slowed it considerably. Half of my cellar floor is dry for the first time (possibly since the house was built). It may be coincidental; but we have not experienced anything ghostly or out of the normal since November and that was just a nervous dog. The last "happening" occurred in October. This is the time of year that the weird was most active. Not this year, its been very quiet.
