I was trying to say that i actually believe a ghost is haunting my place, but It definitely is a interesting series of events and I wanted to share it with you guys. Also, I'm pretty sure 12 rounds of 00 buck in rapid succession will kill anything.

So my almost 3 year old daughter has really been freaking me out the last few days. The other day me and the wife heard her talking to herself in her room and went in to check on her. She was sitting indian-style and playing with her toys, we asked her who she was talking to and she said "Im talking to Manny, shes my friend, shes a ghost!" I thought it was funny and thought maybe she was thinking of Handy Manny the cartoon or something

The next night my wife was doing her hair and my daughter walked in and started opening and closing the closet door playing peek-a-boo. My wife asked her what she was doing and she said "I'm playing with Manny...dont worry Momma, she's a nice ghost she wont kill me." That comment freaks me out a bit because "Kill" isn't a word that is tossed around my house very often, if at all. I asked her to show me where Manny was and she walked to the living room and pointed down the hallway and said "There she is, theres Manny". I looked down the hallway and at that moment the a/c kicked on and the door to her bedroom shut. I was just a wee bit freaked out by that but went and checked it out only to find a normal looking room?

The next night in the middle of the night my wife was awakened by a loud slap on her big ol' pregnant belly. She thought maybe I had done it in my sleep but the way I was positioned there was just no way it could of been me. She thought it was weird but drifted off to sleep anyways, she was just about asleep when she was awakened by a young girls voice yelling the word "No". It was a voice that was too mature to be my little girls, but I grabbed the .45 and went to check on them anyways, they were sound asleep in their beds.

Now not to steal the plot from "Stir of Echoes" staring Kevin Bacon, but this is starting to feel a little similar to his situation. I have two dogs who are VERY well behaved, they dont dig, they dont eat things they shouldnt, they are just all-around great family dogs. Well, in my backyard i have a big 10'x10' concrete pad laid at the backdoor as kind of a patio type platform. The dogs CONSTANTLY try to dig underneath it no matter how much i replace the dirt/sand.

Also as a side-note and I dont know if it is related, my 3 year old draws these things she calls Bouncy Baby People. They are blob like little things with hands, feet, hair, eyes and a mouth. I thought this was pretty advanced for a 3 year old but also a little creepy because of their appearance.

Now I am not normally a superstitious person but all these events put together are starting to give me the chills. I'm thinking about letting the dogs dig to their hearts content just to see what they are trying to get at. Also I am going to try to find out if there is a missing girl named Manny or something similar from my area.

Now to keep this gun related, what caliber is most ghost effective? If any are effective at all?
