Here in Altoona

Four years ago, I bought my condo, here in Altoona.. The pandemic shut things down so I was mostly home bound, here in Altoona.. During my first year, I some times experienced fleeting energy here in Altoona.. I thought it harmless at most, never put much stock in ghosts, here in Altoona. Burned some sage and said some prayers, thinking it would disappear, here in Altoona.. Before this recent fall, I had a car accident during a rain squall, here in Altoona. Once a pleasant walk was disturbed, when a driver drove up on the curve, here in Altoona. Baker's mansion is a mile away. It's said to be haunted, the people say, here in Altoona. Close by is the Horse Shoe Curve where strange phenomena has occurred, here in Altoona. Next to Pittsburg it's been said Altoona is a paranormal thread, here in Altoona. Once I've healed I must confess, I'll sell my place and move out west, far from Altoona..

such an intriguing poem filled with unexplainable mysteries--in Altoona. I enjoyed this line: Next to Pittsburg it's been said Altoona is a paranormal thread, here in Altoona. I enjoyed the paranormal nature of your poem. Well done and enjoyable. Have a blessed evening, Sara

What an amazing sense of the mysterious and unexplainable, Nancy. I really like the repetition of the line "here in Altoona" ending with "far from Altoona!" When you move let's hope those "spirits" stay put "in Altoona!" If this is for a contest, best wishes for a win. Sending you blessings and spring joy!

Hi Sam, No, not a competitive type here. I totally agree with you though, once I move whatever this place has better just stay put. LOL True stuff though as always. Thanks for the visit and have a blessed lovely spring day out there..

Dear Sweet Paula, A long time ago I shared the ghost story on this site. I think it was in 2020? Last night was better then the night before as the barometric pressure here in the mountains was stable. I'm thinking move to Savanah Ga or Austin Tx. where my artist niece and family live. Blessings to you my lovely poet friend..
