If you’re an apartment dweller, you know the struggle with loud upstairs neighbors. It’s nothing that a good passive aggressive note or broom to the ceiling can’t solve. But what do you do when you encounter a loud upstairs... dead neighbor? I’m not talking about a corpse (just call 911 for that), but what do you do when an unrestful spirit likes to throw some shit around at 3am to get a message across from the other side? Well, we have the answer (and it’s not 911). Trust me, the coppers won’t have any control over Casper.
We recently interviewed Chutney Cooljoy from Salem, MA who had this exact problem. She sat down with us to shed some light on the situation… or rather, sent the situation TO the light. Read on for the full Q and A:
Q: “When did the noises first start happening? And how did you know it was a ghost?”
A: “When I moved into my new apartment about a month ago, I started to hear the bumps in the night immediately. It was really annoying to deal with. I hardly got any sleep and soon learned that my negative energy toward it just gave it more power, so I knew that I was dealing with more of a...celestial being.”
Q: “How did you confront it?”
A: “I eventually went up there, knocked on the door, and it opened by itself. Chairs were stacked on top of each other on the kitchen table - a sure sign of poltergeist activity.”
Q: “Were you afraid?”
A: “No, I’ve always been a little psychic, and I just had a feeling that this spirit needed my help, so I held a seance that night. The spirit told me that it was stuck on this earthly plain paying an exorbitant amount of rent each month and made noise because he was mad he couldn’t break his lease. After hearing this, I couldn’t help but intervene. The next day I went to my local witch shop and bought some sage to help guide him to the light.”
Q: “And that worked?”
A: “Yes, the ghost successfully passed on, and I no longer hear anything up there anymore.”
Q: “I'm just curious but, did the ghost tell you anything about what the afterlife is like?”
A: “All I know is that, before he crossed, he said that the entrance of heaven looked like the lamp section of a Home Depot. I hope wherever he is, he is finally at peace and rent free.”
