Then I found the rest of the yarn it had been with, had left it in a drawer.
Just today she left a line of 5 bright red hawthorns in the driveway for me - there are no hawthorn trees within 200 feet.

You may have something in your house that belonged to "Emily". My previous house had a resident spirit, it was a man. He had been killed in the house. He was friendly and kept us safe. He was only seen by two people but made himself known to a lot of us.
She is mostly good though, doesn't hide things. Sometimes I can feel someone touching the top of my head, think it is her.
