Oh creepy garage door,
Opening and closing by yourself at midnight
When I’ve been reading Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
That is not funny.
Thankfully I have a hero at home
who is ready to wake up and defend me
and locks.

I saw a scary looking snowman today. i share your terror.
lol
Heat guns work very well against scary snowmen, FYI.
The timing of the opening and closing of the door adds to the suspense. Very imaginative!
Thanks, Roy.
Nice one, I like the concept of a Haunted Door. I’m a bit concerned about the last line. Obviously it’s about your husband who locks up, if I’m right.
No I lock up, since I’m the one going to bed in the wee hours. However, there are locks. That is a good thing in itself. 🙂
I hear you about the creepy/scary feeling you get when you hear the door going up by itself. Ours used to do that, too. Took us awhile to find out one of our neighbors remotes worked on the same frequency or number setting? as ours. I think there was a 20/20 segment once on this happening, and people should change their code on the remote. We never did, and now our door is broken, anyway. Good poem about it, and glad you have your hero, and locks! 🙂
We think it’s a problem with the manual button that sometimes sticks in a corner, and when it get’s below zero the door will go up and down. It’s happened once before. Where we live, we can see all the car traffic, and there were no vehicles anywhere around on the silent streets when it happened last night. 😦 I would like a button on the wall that disables the door altogether, but all we can do is turn off our remote. Our door doesn’t have a programmable code, either. It’s new-fangled.
Glad your hero wakes up – mine tends to sleep through most things…
He would have slept through it, but I woke him up, and he leapt into action! 🙂
So delighted you came by and introduced yourself at my blog! I can see we’re going to have some fun sharing ideas, writings, and inspirations. Now I’ll know at least three households in Shushwap. We’ve yet to visit, but my husband and I have some good friends with summer places rather near you, I believe. 🙂
And I got a kick out of your mention of Buffy, a huge favorite of Richard’s and mine too. 😉
Here’s to continuing adventures!
Cheers,
Kathryn
Nice to ‘meet’ you Kathryn!
On the Victoria Day weekend we host an AMAZING writers’ conference here in Salmon Arm. You should come! Bring Richard! 🙂
The Man in Shining Armour will keep the poltergeist at bay!
🙂 He’s very good at that.
When he’s not screaming.
