It all started on a beautiful fall day after going to a craft show out in the country. After spending hours looking over craft items which were mostly Christmas themed, we left to go back home.
We took a longer, more scenic route through several small country towns. After leaving one town, we saw a sign advertising an estate sale. Following the signage eventually led us to a large decrepit barn with furniture and farming implements piled on the lawn. Inside the barn, more furniture and assorted household items littered the space in no specific order.
My wife, Susan walked ahead, commenting on some items, but expressing no interest in purchasing anything. She stopped by the door and looked over something several times before exiting. At the door stood a floor lamp made of old rusted cast iron with a red glass lampshade that caught my attention. It was unusual for sure, but wouldn't fit our more modern dΓ©cor. As I turned to walk out the door, I got the strangest feeling, as if a cold breeze blew over me. I looked down and saw this old piano stool with its varnish finish darkened and cracked from age. The legs are what caught my attention, cast iron talons at the base clutching a large glass marble. I bent down to view the price tag, $55 then turned to leave.
Susan came back in to see what peaked my interest before I could get through the door. I showed her the lamp and as expected, she didn't think a rusted cast iron lamp would fit in our family room decor. I looked again at the stool, it had a "look" it could be a conversation piece once I refinished it, but not at $55. The more I looked the more things I found wrong with it. Someone nailed a wood disk on top of the seat and one leg had come unglued and separated. I dismissed restoring the stool as I exited; however, I got the strangest feeling as I went through the door. It sounded or I should say I felt the stool, saying help me. That cold breeze returned as I returned to pick up the stool and take it outside to get a better look.
Outside I looked for the person running the sale, "Hey will you take $20 for this stool."
The man looked at it and then the tag, "No, it's an antique."
I quipped back, "It's broken."
As I turned to walk away, "$30 that's the best I can do."
I surprised Susan and myself when I agreed to pay $30. When I put the stool in the back of the car, Susan said, "That stool gives me a creepy feeling but for some reason I like it."
"How can a stool give you a creepy feeling?"
"I don't know, but it does."
When we returned home, the stool went out in the garage workshop.
About one thirty in the morning I awoke to Susan moaning in her sleep. I thought she must be dreaming and went back to sleep.
Next morning, Susan asked why my hand was so cold last night.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"You were fingering my pussy and your hands were so cold but felt so good."
"I think you were dreaming."
"Well, if it was a dream, it felt good."
I didn't think much more of it until the next morning at one thirty; I awoke to Susan moaning again. A green glow from my clock radio illuminated the room. I couldn't see anything but Susan was moaning like she was having sex, maybe she was fingering herself in her sleep. Since I was already awake, I went to the bathroom. When I returned my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see the covers moving above her waist but her hands were over her head. It must be her vibrator working overtime I thought.
Next morning, Susan commented again on my cold hands. "I do not understand what you are talking about; I didn't touch you last night. You must have had a dream while your vibrator was running."
"What vibrator?"
"The one you left on last night while you were sleeping. You must have fallen asleep with it."
"I didn't have a vibrator on, you were finger fucking me with your cold fingers, don't you remember?"
Maybe we were both dreaming, I thought it was real, but maybe it was a dream.
The next night, nothing seemed to happen Susan slept soundly, so maybe it was really a dream.
Chapter 2
Susan and I went out to dinner at our usual Italian restaurant and sat in a back booth across from each other. We were drinking Chianti and relaxing when I noticed the buttons on Susan's blouse move. Maybe it was the flickering candlelight, but it looked like her buttons were coming undone. Susan didn't notice that the first three buttons of her blouse were undone.
I could have been the wine affecting my vision, but it looked like her nipples were being tweaked underneath her blouse. At first it was subtle, Susan didn't notice her nipples hardening and poking at the fabric. Then another button came undone exposing her right breast, I watched as her breast was lifted by her nipple. Some magical force was playing with her fully exposed tit in the restaurant, fascinated by the show, I didn't think about how this was happening.
This continued while the waiter brought our salad and bread, we were both captivated with the show. Susan was in a trance, oblivious to this happening or the waiter staring at her tit. Normally she would be embarrassed and attempt to cover her exposed tit, but not now, she appeared to be enjoying both the tweaking and the exposure.
When she reached for the bread her trance broke, she gasped and pulled her tit back in her blouse.
"How did this happen? Why is my blouse unbuttoned? What the hell were you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, it must have fallen out by accident. You probably didn't have them buttoned all the way."
She gave me an 'I don't believe you look' as she buttoned her blouse. The waiter was very attentive afterwards, fully expecting to catch another view.
The rest of the dinner was uneventful, perhaps the spirit left before I could give it the bill. On the drive back home Susan let loose, "What the hell were you thinking back in the restaurant taking my boob out in public?"
I didn't want her to realize that I could not have done it sitting across from her, it may have freaked her out even more. Surprisingly, Susan wasn't aware of exactly what happened. Not understanding how it happened; magic or maybe a hypnotist trick seemed more plausible than a ghost.
Next morning at breakfast Susan looked at me, "Bob, I'm not sure what you're doing, but you're freaking me out."
