This comment from Pratchy reminded me of this topic:
About 5 years ago, we were selling our smaller home and moving back into our "rental" home. We were bringing our nephew in to live with us so needed the third bedroom again. As we were waiting for the smaller home to sell, we left the rental sit vacant for 3 months. Kept the heat on, lights, etc., but it was empty of all life forms.
Within a month, I started to notice a change in the house. It was like the house was dying. Paint had started to peel in a corner, little things looked like they were starting to degrade. We started to have to "fix" things here and there. It was strange. At 6 weeks I decided to put a few plants back in there, and I went once a day and started talking to the house! I realize this sounds strange, but I'm telling you the house needed life energy to survive.
If you notice abandoned buildings, it makes you wonder why they so quickly degrade. Ignoring any overgrown yard, if you look at an empty house where all life has left it, it reminds me of PR's reference to the sudden vacuum of energy that occurs.
What do you think? Does a building need living energy?
I grew up in High Point, NC. There's something especially haunting about a boomtown that's gone bust. I read an earlier thread about the thinning veil. I think the veil thins when our physical human energy leaves a place, especially a place that was once populated and then there's a sudden almost vacuum of the energy.
Anyways, In High Point there's now a big wedding event place called McCulloch Castle. Very nice and a very expensive place to have a wedding. When I was a kid we knew how to get out to the old castle in the woods by parking on the south side of business 85 and hiking through the woods. The local Rebel Rouser MC would hang out in the area. It was VERY creepy and although I never saw anything there you couldn't deny the heavy and dark energy that was present in that old structure oddly placed out in the woods.
