Hi Chris I just wanted to let you know that I visit all your sites and I am one of those polepe who can not get enough of your perspective on life. I literally have waited all my life for the wonderful stuf like your blogs and videos. I am not suprised about the experiences you are having in your house i believe that all the creatures of the kingdom as they like to call it are ubiquitous and not few and far between as many polepe think. What I am thinking is could it be possible that things are ramping up again because they sense some major confluences in your life. I would not be suprised if you had more major life changing experiences coming very soon like the birth of a child or something similar. The scary part is the figures you are seeing seem to be archetypes for certain entities which I definitely would not want to see even at a distance. I do not know what your spirituality consists of but i hope that you are protecting yourself especially now that I know you are investigating places like Rolling Hills. I would love to investigate but I know in my case i draw things and they follow me so I would not dare. Anyhow please be careful and protect yourself the world is so much better with you in it healthy and in fit fighting condition. Sending out love and good vibrations to you all my best.Curt Brown
