I've been reading this thread from the very start and have enjoyed all the stories so far, ZenithFan1 you must be quite a sensitive soul to have picked up on the energy residue and the presence in that house. I am also very in tune with this sort of thing and can easily detect vibes/energies from houses and even places that I visit.

Something that happened to me along similar lines to this thread, I knew this old chap who used to make TVs & radios right up until the 1960's. He died in 2007 leaving a whole lifetime of stuff in his house including NOS parts/tubes/CRTs/Cabinets as he manufactured right out of his house and lived amongst it all, this guy was an obessive hoarder and never threw anything away, not even rubbish or newspapers so you can imagine what the inside was like. He left it all to his one and only daugther who promptly when in and started to clean the place out literally.....About the 7th or 8th skip bin later I found out through contacts that he had died so went to the house to see what was going on and luckily she was there sorting stuff out that day. She knew who I was and said she tried to contact me but misplaced my phone number that her father had given before he died. It was all quite sad really, but his presence in that house was literally everywhere. It was like he was there but you couldn't see him just a real strong energy in the place. You'd be like in a room and like turn around because you'd swear he was standing beside you or just in the room. I ended up getting quite a bit of stuff from there, of course a few dealers had been right through the place a few weeks before and picked through everything and taken more than their fair share while ripping her off in the process, I heard a rumor that one dealer managed to come across a huge box full of NOS 6L6's and sold them for a small fortune on ebay, like thousands of dollars etc, this annoyed me as she was struggling financially and had no help with what do with all his stuff initially, probably explains why she first just started dumping stuff and what she got paid by this dealer for what he took was pittance compared to what profit he would have made out of it.

Anyway back to the story when I got back home my wife who is very in tune said to me, you've brought him home with you and she was right, for the next few weeks he kept us awake at night by making noises/trying to talk, (in life he could talk for hours and was hard to get away from at times) and you'd go into the hallway and catch a glimpse of him standing there, this is no bull by the way I'm not making this up, this really happened and no I'm not crazy either so it was all a bit unnerving really.
I went back to the house a few times after that and got more stuff from there and paid her a fair price for what I took, like NOS radio cabinets and CRTs/components/speakers/output transformers,and about 10 Tektronix tube scopes, including a very rare TV which he made himself out of radio parts and local components/hardware. I must get around to taking some photos of this set and posting it on here, its quite unique in the sense that he used two of his radio chassis and stuck those together and built up the chassis on that.
Eventually over the next few months his presence just weakened and now pretty much don't feel him around at all, I do occasionally still but not often these days.

So there's my story sorry for being a bit long winded and sorry if I've freaked anyone out, but from what I've read from other posters in this thread it sounds like we're all got a that sixth sense in some form or another. I guess it comes with being intuitive and curious as this hobby pretty much is like that!

Cheers
Glen.
