So that's okay. Okay, so thanks for the introduction, Dario. And so this talk is once again a talk about pseudo-random function. And this is a joint work with Michelabbe Data and Fabrice Benhamouda. So pseudo-random function were introduced by Gerard Gaudvasser and Mikali in 1986. And so this is one of the most fundamental primitive in cryptography and probably also one of the simplest. So pseudo-random function is simply a keyed function from a domain D to a range R, which is efficiently computable and which is indistinguishable from a random function from D to R. So the construction by the first construction given by Gerard Gaudvasser et al was very elegant but was a bit inefficient and not very efficient. And in 1997, Naren Grigl proposed the first number of theoretic pseudo-random function based on the DH assumption. And the construction is the following. So you have a key space which is Zp to the N, an input which is a bit string of range N and the range is a cyclic primordial group of order P. And the output of the total-random function with the key A and an input X is simply the exponentization of a random generator to the product of the A i subject X i is equal to one. So to ease the notation a bit, I'm gonna use the following notation. So when I write something into bracket, this means that this is a random generator G raised to the power of what is in the bracket. So if we look a bit more carefully to the Naren Grigl pseudo-random function, what we can see actually is that this is just the evaluation of multivariate polynomials which depends on the input X and on the points which is the key A. So actually, if you look a bit at the construction also, the fact that we can see is that this family of polynomials is a family of independent polynomials. And the other fact is that actually if we look at order construction, so that's the bonnet or construction and also the decorator's construction for instance, then these constructions have also the same kind of structure. So the question we address in this paper is the following. Given a function which is defined as, whose outputs are defined as the evaluation of multivariate polynomials on the key A, then is this function a pseudo-random function if and only if the family of multivariate polynomials is a family of linearly independent multivariate polynomials? A multivariate polynomial, sorry. So this is a question and of course the question is on which assumption do we base the security because this is clearly true in the generic group model so what we want to show is that this is actually true under standard assumption. So this is the question we address and so I'm gonna explain a bit why we are interesting in such kind of equivalence and I'm gonna explain the high-level idea of the proof and after I'm gonna give some application and also show a new algebraic framework for reticule security. Okay, so let's start with the motivations. So the first motivation, which is pretty obvious and which is already what I said almost, is that if we define a function which as I already explained, then this is a pseudo-random function if and only if the family of polynomials which is associated to the outputs of the function is a family of linearly independent polynomials. So for instance, if we look at the narrow angle PRF to prove the security, it's sufficient to just that the corresponding family of polynomials are linearly independent. So this is very, very, very simple, this is just one line. So this is the first motivation but I think the more interesting motivation is the following, this is for reticule security and so reticule security are an extension of the standard security notion, security model, where the adversary is a bit more powerful in the sense that the adversary can not only query the pseudo-random function with adaptive inputs queries but also can modify the key by applying function to the key. And so it was formalized by Bellara and Kono in 2003 and in 2003 they also, in the same papers, they also proved that it's impossible to build pseudo-random function that are secure against an adversary that can apply any function to the key. So the goal in reticule security is the following. We want to build constructions that are secure for the adversary which is the most powerful possible, so for the largest possible classes but we know that it's not possible for any class, for any function. So why is this equivalence is now interesting for proving reticule security for pseudo-random function? If we consider pseudo-random function which is defined as already introduced by a family of multivariate polynomials and if the function that the adversary can apply to the key are also multivariate polynomials, then the outputs of these queries with reticule keys and input chosen by the adversary are just the group element with this critical algorithm is the evaluation of px composed with phi on the key a. And what happens is that this value is indistinguishable from a random group element if and only if the corresponding family of multivariate polynomials is a family of linearly independent multivariate polynomials. Okay, so using this we can prove some new results. I'm gonna go back on this later but we can not only just obtain all the results that was obtained before in reticule security for this kind of pseudo-random function but also we can create new construction for new classes. For instance, the classes where the adversary is able to permute component of the key. Okay, so this was for the motivation and now let's go back to this equivalence. So the first thing I'm gonna show is maybe the most simple way of this equivalence is that for having an pseudo-random function defined as follows, it is necessary that the polynomials are linearly independent. So we can do this by contradiction. This is pretty simple. Let's let us assume that there is a relation between the polynomials that define the output of the pseudo-random function. Then this relation carries on in the real world while it does not in the random world. So this is clearly a necessary condition. So the sense that is maybe more interesting and more surprising is the fact that this is actually a sufficient condition to obtain a pseudo-random function and the standard assumption. So how do we prove this in the paper? We introduce the following new security notion which we call leap security notion which well, leap stands for linearly independent polynomial security. And the this security notion is defined by the two following words. In both worlds, the adversary is able to query an oracle with a linearly independent multivariate polynomials. And in the real world, the adversary gets the group element with discreet algorithm is the evaluation of the multivariate polynomial in A while in the random world, the adversary just gets from the group elements. And so what we prove in the paper is actually that these two words are computationally indistinguishable under standard assumption. So for this talk, I'm gonna focus on the simplest case, I'd say, so I'm gonna assume that the adversary makes linearly independent multivariate polynomial query but the polynomials are multilinear so they are the degree at most one in each determinant. And what I'm gonna prove is that these two words in this case are indistinguishable under the DDH assumption. Okay, so I'm gonna start with a very simple case. I'm gonna assume that the number of the key length is three so there is a three in the terminates and I'm gonna just assume that the adversary makes queries which are monomials so this is actually exactly the family of polynomials which define the narangal pseudonym function. And then we can see the evaluation of these polynomials, these monomials as a path through a binary tree where the root of the tree is a random generator and if xi is equal to i at level i, you go on the right and you raise the generator to ai and if xi is equal to zero, you don't change the value so you do this for each level and at the end you get the leaves which corresponds to the evaluation of all the monomials. Okay, so for instance for monomial t1 times t3 you go on the left, on the right at the beginning because xi is equal to one, on the left and on the right. Okay, so what I'm gonna show, what I want to show is that the leaves are indistinguishable from random group elements. So this is once again exactly what is done in the proof of security of narangal. So what we are going to do is we do some hybrid proof and we are going to change the level of this tree by random group elements. So the first level, the root and the first level are clearly indistinguishable from random value because the generator is random and a1 is random so I'm gonna put in orange the values which are random and in green which are the value which are computed as correctly. And so now we want to change the second level of the tree. So we get three values which are already completely random. The generator, the a2 and alpha and the only value which is not random is the last one which is alpha times a2 and this is actually exactly saying that this is indistinguishable from a random value is just the dh assumption. So clearly the second level is also indistinguishable from random and for the last level we do once again the same thing but now we have three dh tuple, beta times a3, alpha times a3 and gamma times a3 and this indistinguishable under the dh assumption using the random self-reducibility. So this perfectly works. So what we just show is that these evaluation of monomials are indistinguishable from random group elements under the dh assumption. So how do we use this to prove the general case? If we, to simulate a multinational polynomial now we just expand this multinational polynomial by just expand everything and we replace all the monomials by the corresponding monomial and this is indistinguishable under the dh assumption from the computation where everything is random and because the polynomial queried by the adversary are linearly independent the value are indistinguishable from true random value. So this works perfectly. The problem is that to expand and compute the polynomial, to simulate the polynomials, you have to simulate up to two to the n monomials because you have to put up to two to the n monomials for melting in our polynomials and then you get an exponential time reduction. So this is not how we do in the paper but I don't have the time to explain how do we do in the paper. The main idea is to be lazy, we use lazy simulation and I think this is the most interesting part of the paper but I don't have the time to present it. So what I just explained is that these two words are indistinguishable under the dh assumption if the polynomials queried are multiliner and actually in the paper we prove a bit more than this. We prove that much more than this actually. The polynomials don't have to be a multiliner, they can be any degree and we also prove this if the key is not only just a vector in zp to the n but a vector also of matrices which allows us to end the cases of pseudo-random function such that the d-in-based pseudo-random function or the k-in-based pseudo-random function. And once again we get a polynomial time proof. Okay, so what about the application of this statement? So once again we get the basic application to show very simple proofs for pseudo-random function and we get the application to prove the related key security for pseudo-random function. But so the equivalence I've written here is actually a very strong, the condition that px composed with phi is a family of finale independent polynomials is actually a very strong condition. Why is that? If we look for instance at the following very simple class of function where the adversary is able to add any constant to any component of the key and if we consider the narrow angle to the random function then this condition is actually not true. There is a relation with for instance just three queries. So actually this condition allows us to prove security for very simple classes but not for not so complicated classes already. So the idea to overcome this issue is to use the same kind of idea that was used by Blair and Cash in 2010 and the idea is that actually this pseudo-random function for this kind of classes is actually secure if the adversary is unique input meaning that if the adversary is not able to query twice the same input x even with different key deriving function then this construction is already secure. So the solution to build a retickey security to build a retickey secure pseudo-random function is to force the adversary to be unique input. So how do we do this? The interest shown to do this is the following instead of compute when the adversary queries an input x instead of computing the outputs using this input x we use a new input which is computed as the h value of a collision resistant hash function whose inputs are the key a and the input x and what does this change? The thing is that if the adversary makes a new input so is there the function change or the input change? So is there the key change or the input change so a or x will change? And so the output of the hash function will be different. So the values which are outputs are always computed using a different input. So the thing is that if we use directly this construction it's not really clear how to prove anything because a is not known so we don't really know how to compute the hash values because we don't know a. So this was already something that has been overcome in the paper about Bellar and Cache in 2010 and the idea was to use something called the key fingerprint which is a set of inputs such that the output of the observable function uniquely define the key but here we can do something which is much more simple instead of using the key a as input of the hash function what we can do is use the group elements with discreet logarithm are the component of the key so the group element with discreet logarithm is a one until the group element with discreet logarithm is a n and the thing which is really nice is that actually using this we can reduce the security directly to the leap security notion which is the new security we have introduced. So the proof is actually very simple. If we want to simulate a query to give to the adversary we just query all the polynomials t1 and tn to get the input of the hash function we compute the hash value then we query the polynomial corresponding to the output of the function and what happens now is that these outputs are indistinguishable from random outputs if and only if the corresponding polynomials are linearly independent but now the family is much smaller because the inputs are always distinct and this is actually very simple to design sort of random function which are now rated key secure using this framework. So let me conclude with this. So in this paper we define a new algebraic framework for pseudo-random function and for rated key secure pseudo-random function and it has the properties to unify most of the existing number of heuristic based constructions and it simplifies a lot the proof for pseudo-random function but also and especially for rated key security and using this we are able to design new construction and we obtain


Hi, this is Yareit. Currently I am attending COP26 in Glasgow. Currently in the second week yesterday we had a ministerial negotiation started. So ministers from Jamaica were facilitating the discussion among the ministers. And we are submitting some proposals on behalf of least developed countries as well as from the African group of negotiators. And the G77 group, so somehow we have similar positions with regards to Santiago Network and also on the issue of loss and damage. Quite an interesting one and also we have been spending time in the venue until the midnight because we were not reaching on the agreements on the issue of loss of finance for loss and damage and also on the governance issue. Still the negotiation is going on. And now we are coordinating with different groups and currently our coordinators for loss and damage is having a bilateral session with different ministers to try to push and also convince the issue to be adopted. And I just heard that the cover decision has been released on the website so I am going to review that one right now.


While still on the budget proposal, the spending plan proposed by President Mohamed Buhari has a total expenditure of 16.39 trillion naira. Public-private partnerships will feature prominently next year, but there is a huge deficit of 6.26 trillion naira to be financed, mainly by new borrowings. And the expert is advising that all borrowings be local. Plus TV Africa's Massey Ibokbo reports. The 2022 budget of economic growth and sustainability has a projected capital expenditure of 5.35 trillion naira, a non-debt recurring spending of 6.8 trillion naira, and debt servicing projected to cost 3.61 trillion naira. With crude oil averaging $67 a barrel this year, the oil price benchmark for 2022 has been set at $57 per barrel, with an oil production estimate of 1.88 million barons per day. The budget proposal is based on an exchange rate of 410 naira, 15 cobo, to the dollar, and projected GDP growth of 4.2%, while the inflation rate is 13%. But there is a proposed budget deficit of 6.26 trillion naira. We plan to finance the deficit, mainly by new borrowings, totaling 5.01 trillion naira, 90.73 billion naira for privatisation proceeds. President Buhari sought to alleviate over Niger's growing debt. Some have expressed concern over our resort to borrowing to finance our fiscal gaps. They are right to be concerned. However, we believe that the debt level of the federal government is still within sustainable limits, borrowing at specific strategic projects and can be verified publicly. But a sustainability consultant would like the government to look inwards in funding the budget deficit. Currently, MDAs, as well as international oil companies and other very important organisations across the country, they refuse to remit certain funds within their disposal to the federal government. And we know that this fund runs into trillion naira. So I think if the president can actually focus on getting this MDAs and IOCs and other relevant organisations to do the remittance they need to do in respect to their taxes and other obligations to the federal government, maybe we'll just be able to generate just enough money to be able to shove the issue of borrowing to the ground. With the early presentation of the 2022 Appropriation Bill and all things Benicor, Nigeria could well be on track for a budget cycle of 12 calendar months from January to December.

So I hope everybody has a great day planned and I hope that you have great plans for the weekend safe plans to get out and do some trick-and-treating or Hand out candy your kids can get get lots of candy. You can go to the dentist next week Yeah, okay, so we're gonna start with let me get my share up Let's see Here we go Let's see at the stream. There we go. I'm gonna make it bigger Uh Question of the week. Are there any ghosts in your tree? Hey, Lea Nice to see you Kirsten. If I if I miss more of you I'm it's kind of hard to do with just one person, but that's okay. Uh Questions of the week any ghost stories in your family tree. How about that? That that's pretty cool. So we had 28 answers in the G to G post There's some pretty good answers over in the Facebook groups as well. I'm gonna check those out So I Like the first answer is being a member of wiki tree leads to a busy life You'd think there wouldn't be time to chase ghost stories But as a descendant of the loftest family this one has been haunting me and it's about loftice Hall. He has a link going off to here about One evening Charles was resting in his home in 1775 With his second wife and daughter from his first marriage and while loftice family were away on business during a storm a ship Unexpectedly arrived. So basically this guy shows up. He's gorgeous and likes them. They're hanging out They're playing cards the guy forgets to deal her one of the cards and she sees a card on the floor She leans down to pick it up. She notes that the guy has Cloven hooves says it to the fella the fellow Goes straight up through the roof and out through a hole through the ceiling. So that's a pretty good That's a pretty good ghost story to have in your family. All right, cool Alas, there are no wonderful stories about Casket girls vampires and new Orleans. There are wonderful stories But none that she can find that's Joyce Fander Bogart that matched to her husband's family Steve Harris Steve's given us a good Black Hope Seminary was an old 19th century cemetery For African-Americans, but today the location has been covered up by a housing subdivision The events surrounding this discovery and hauntings of the land and houses have been chronicled in books The Black Hope horror the true story of a haunting in the film Grave secrets the legacy of hilltop drives starring patty duke David selby and kirsten warren. That's fun. You check that stuff out if you want to get a good laugh um Let's see uh, nothing really Fantastical This from heather cushion, but home. I currently live and was built by my great grandfather Alfred george bell He came to the house after picking up the water line sat down at the table to eat a sandwich and then suddenly died of a brain aneurysm The home in set 40 acres was left to his wife janela who was 52 at the time I was in preschool in the family auction her father purchased the home and the land And we've lived here ever since dad did a number of innovations with the help of his uncles Adding a second story in a garage mom insisted on installing numerous large wall mirrors all over the place We've had our own bit of spooks things going missing reappearing or randomly falling Doors opening but most of it harmless we chalk it up to grandpa and grandma One night. I did have a singular sleep paralysis episode When I was younger and I swore the nom of my door turned I have any of you guys have that feeling that you couldn't move and there was something going on in your room That you should be doing something about but you couldn't that's a scary thought um She also had some uh misgivings about a porcelain doll that her grandmother gave her when she was younger It always freaked her out. So first she buried it in her closet Uh until she started having closet nightmares in her room. And so she chucked the Mm-hmm thing into her mom's clients And she talks about misgivings and wanderings about the house at night. I know yeah Uh ghost story about my fourth great grand uncle or growth fourth fourth times great uncle joseph buck He was a lock keeper at wink well near hamel hamstead And his result was allowed to live in the local lock keepers cottage with his wife and whatever family chose to visit him The problem with this cottage arguably the lock in general was that the door was very close to the wink well's pub The three horse shoes it meant that on christmas day when joseph was thought to have been on his way home from a drinking When he fell in and drowned in his own lock Uh at the same at the time the news of his death circulated as a space filler newspapers across england And after his death the legend emerged that he haunts the pub because he was mad that they caused his death How about that? Hey, hillary hillary's here in home quest Patricia jackson. Hey y'all sarah's out if you didn't notice it's just me and i'm in the middle of doing the uh Uh question of the week, which is do you have any ghosts in your tree? Uh seventh great grandfather hugh jones. This is from alexis nelson alexis always gives us fun stuff He was part of the puritan great migration and he must have come to a mysterious end since four years after he died He was brought into the infamous Salem witch trials as being a ghost That's pretty cool Pretty cool. Uh, let's see pretty sure i've told this one before but i'll tell it a million times this from our buddy chris ferrello My grandmother Olympia passed away in 2002 We thought we heard her voice as we were selling the house She lived in up until the day she died Well, my dad decided to put the test put it to a test and see if there was a ghost in the house He put her she's candy bar on the kitchen table And left for the day we came back and there was the wrapper all crumpled up the side Uh and beside it was a crumpled up tissue There was no sign of break in or anything for real. Did you actually see that chris ferrello? That's pretty cool. That's pretty fun Let's see unfortunately no real spookiness in this one But my great great grandparents would have thought so My great grandfather their son lennard joined the royal navy and subsequently served in australia new zealand before deciding That he didn't want to return home essentially going a wall and setting settling in wellington New zealand about 1903 at this point He couldn't contact them and they all knew all they knew that he was serving somewhere in the pacific This is from amelia ute uteing Uh while he was working as a seaman eventually boarding a ship came back to england He arrived at his family home in norwich during mass It was waiting at their doorstep when they arrived home His mother nearly fainted Why you might ask because shortly before this several soldiers in the navy had been killed in battle and pop on You guinea and they assumed that he was among them since they hadn't heard anything from him Uh They had even asked his name be read at the mass.  Uh, she Walked down to look at her a picture that was Glowing and um, she just thought in her mind. She's happy. She's brilliantly happy And then her brother called the next day to let her know that her mother's only sibling Her beloved wane had passed away unexpectedly that previous night And in her brain, she's connecting the fact that she thought that that was a glowing photo of her beloved Of his of her mom waiting for her beloved brother Let's see charita perkins. My only ghost story isn't That exciting but it certainly was to me as a child I lived with my grandparents and the jones chapel method his church was forward doors down from our home He told me before he started dating my grandmother that he was on a hay ride This is her grandfather a team of mules or horses and bales of hay to sit on the back of the wagon. Those are very common here Uh The men were all flirting with the girls and they were being left off at their own homes and it was about midnight They drove past a church and everyone saw a light on inside He jumped off the wagon to go see who was in the church as it was all on always unlocked He said the light was coming from behind the altar altar. He ran up to see who or what it was Only took him a few seconds to run and when you arrived at the altar, there was no one there She doesn't really explain if the light was still shining when he got to the altar There were a few boys and girls standing at the back door to see who was going in and out So they nobody ever ran past them and the driver made them leave But they never really figured out what had gone on that caused that light to glow in the church Oh, let's see the um Tim Wood says my parents lived in a 17th century house on the village green on the wall at the top of the stairs There's a painting of a young relative kate bishop from my grandmother's grandmother's side of the family Kate was a poet whose poetry was published in newspapers under the pseudonym kb I have a book and some newspaper clippings of her poems Other than those about her family, most of them were quite dark and unfortunately. She committed suicide when she was 23 One evening when visiting from the u.s with my wife and two-year-old daughter kate Who were sometimes they referred to as kb for kate bundle We heard what sounded like katie having a nightmare They went upstairs to make sure she was okay. She was sitting up in bed apparently quite happy And she's pointed to the picture on the wall of kb and said the lady in the picture came to visit me There we go. Oh, let's see. I have two stories, but uh They're not long past descendants. This is connie volk my cousin loved butterflies When we were filing past her casket end of november cold and windy a butterfly That's not typically the time you see butterflies a butterfly landed on my arm and stayed there for quite a while As I was scattering dirt many gasps were heard by those present It was a it's a wonderful memory The second story she has is my husband and I decided that whoever died first Would let the other know somehow they were all right Fewer years later my husband died in my arms. That's very sweet A week later on a very bright sunny morning His very shy cat that lived under the bed and only came out for him suddenly appeared on top of the bed Mowing very loudly and jumping up and down as if trying to get something The room then filled with the odor of a cigar This only lasted a minute and then it was gone and fiona the cat Went right back under the bed She thinks that this was the message from her husband letting her know that he was okay. Isn't that a cool story? uh, let's see Somebody says there are 10 degrees jenine isleman. There you go. Jenine says that she saw 10 degrees from john William bell who was haunted by the woman or the person or the thing that was the bell witch In robertson county, tennessee. She has a profile on winky tree if you want to go check it out Pretty cool interesting. Well, no. Yeah. Yeah, she's well. She has she's on the space page for ghosts on winky tree Oh, let's see. I'm trying to see if there's any uh any Interesting conversations going on I'm not even gonna ask what's going on chris So many I got this story on video from my mother happened in mexia texas After working one evening walking home. My mom her parents and a sibling Saw a man on the roof smoking a cigarette Nobody was home They lived in an old funeral home. I would not live in an old funeral. No, I would you live in an old funeral home? No Are you kidding? Oh, let's see. They lived in an old funeral home Uh upset my grandparents when they saw this guy sitting on the roof smoking a cigarette Because I thought somebody had been broken in or was trespassing They get inside the house and there's nobody there. They go upstairs. Nobody And my grandparents can't figure out how anyone could get up on the roof anyhow Later that night they heard more noises that they could not explain um Chris ferriolo chris, you're talking about poltergeist Uh, so let's see. Um, that's from ronda smith Oh, and ronda is talking about uh, oh, no, no, no, I'm gonna Oh the derbyville family famous for the thomas hardy's novel test of the derbyville's Was based on the medieval derbyville family of berry distorset According to legend a ghostly coach process a bridge by woolbridge manner near wool Dorset at night But only those with turbo blood can see it one version claims the coach Contains the ghost of john terriville of woolbridge and and the daughter of thomas howard The first viscount of biden binden on their elopement and Mike jonas wants to test that out. He wants to go over and See if he can see the ghost Let's see Some members this is for maryon siruti maryon always has some good Good answers to some of the posts and she always does some good posts She had a dream after moving into a new apartment all the furniture was rearranged So that the sofa was blocking the entrance from the living room to the bedroom I went into the bedroom from the living room However, instead of moving the sofa or climbing over it. I simply walked through it After all you dream in your astral body and physical objects pose no obstacles to travel in the state of consciousness The second story she has is not really a ghost story But it's more scary than some actual encounters with the departed when I was a girl scout camp We used to tell ghost stories sitting around the campfire sometimes to our mark scouts or leaders would collaborate One would tell the stories and the other would hide in the woods making scary noises. We've all kind of had those Then we would all sing songs now I can see that singing was supposed to get us into a better mood after being scared out of our Wits, that's I that happened to me. All right, so this is from claire and navva and her navva Jesse's ghost accident or suicide Jesse good one 4079 was a socialite the wife of a wealthy doctor who suffered from depression Her physician prescribes some form of laudanum, which was perfectly normal for the 1930s. It is illegal now She would take a small dose in the afternoon sleep until after dinner waking calm and refreshed On the last day of february 1934 jessie's daughter doris was downstairs in their beautiful through story home At 5810 carlton way los angeles. I don't know why people want to describe this is a ghost story Then it was happening in a beautiful home And here's the address for it Uh, the maid came in and told doris that mrs. Goodwin wasn't up yet doris told the maid to let her mother Sleep she must need to sleep, right? This act of kindness was directly responsible for jessie's death Jesse had taken her usual dose, but at some time in the afternoon she woke up and took more When no one woke her jessie's sleep turned into a coma that deepened into death Family members saw her ghost from time to time the children grew up and moved away Her husband remarried and the big beautiful home was sold to someone who ran it as a boring house Stories began to circulate among the borders about the woman in blue who paced the second floor It's been torn down. I wonder if anybody sees Jesse's ghost in the newer buildings All right, uh, my father told me a story about visiting mont calvary mission Baptist church cemetery in little river south carolina He went with a friend to visit a cemetery at night when he was younger my father swore He saw ghosts in the cemetery and he was afraid of sinking into the ground in wilmington Uh, a pair of north carolina apparently there are reports that the bellamy mansion was haunted There's a link here on this post to the bellamy haunted bellamy mansion. If you want to check it out Uh, let's see. Ah, my mother told me this is from roger horn Told the story of a door that would not stay closed when she was young Her house caught fire and burned beyond repairs who her father salvaged the front door And installed it on the new house. He built on the same site When it got quiet in the house latched or not the door would open splintering the door jam He set a board between the door jam and at a block of wood. He'd nailed to the floor and scooted the table against it Determined to keep it closed for at least one night When the house became quiet the door opened splintering the piece of lumber He'd set against the block shoving the table across the room.

I have a connection to a really great ghost story that was featured in uh the haunting the celebrity haunting show the haunting of uh tom green My spouse's great grandfather died in a humongous fire in 1913 at parliament here hill here in canada He and his namesake or he was named after Alphonse de jardin. They were both working at parliament Uh, the great grandfather was a brown coat or a dominion policeman the forerunner of the mounted police And during the fire he was pretty heroic. He is um Given credit for saving many people who could not get out of the burning building by himself So he helped them get out They eventually found his body under the west tower entrance of our parliament hill building at that time uh, so he did pass away as did his Uncle alphonse de jardin well tom green if you know anything about tom green, he's pretty famous for doing practical jokes and um So one night he somehow talked his way into the natural history museum of canada here in ottawa and um was supposed to be doing Something there writing something and he was spending the night in the museum and I don't know how he talked his way in there Well, he was not on the floor. He was supposed to be in he went up to another floor Um and was trying to keep away from the security guards because he wanted to do things that he wasn't supposed to do That's what tom green does While he was up there. Um, he turned around and looked and there was a man walking towards him Who was quite tall who was wearing a particular? you know clothing and um Apparently according to the long island medium Um, this ghost was alphonse de jardin our great grandfather. So he is featured on this Show about uh tom green and I have a little link there. You can go and watch the blurb, which is fascinating Uh, let's see christine camille miller. I have my own ghost story I worked for lane bryant and madison wisconsin at the west town mall back in the 90s Whenever I entered the back room. There was an overpowering smell of orange blossoms Everyone could smell it if I was in the room, but if they came by and by themselves They never smelled it. There would be items shifted in the room as well that That were mine, but never anyone else's always felt that instead of ghost making its presence known It was a guardian angel made me feel less anxious. Isn't that a cool way of thinking of that? Let's see This inn in Durham, New Hampshire. This is from norah hernandez Is rumored to be haunted by a descendant of my ancestor valentine hill Who wants owned property the story goes that his daughter hannah boist drowned in the adjacent river Although there's no documentation of this event She did pre-decease her husband and his will specifies that he has to be buried as near to her as possible And supposedly enjoys messing with electronic devices There have also been reports of a male spirits.
