We moved to this old farmstead about 15 years ago. For many years, nothing unusual. One day we got back to playing games - board games, card games, etc. At first, we would both end up smelling two distinct odors. One was cigarette smoke and the other was cigar smoke. Wife CANNOT STAND cigar smoke and, as we had joked about them possibly being ghosts, she said she wished he'd stop smoking cigars and stinking up the place! Sure enough, the cigar smell ended. She also made the comment that she didn't like cigarettes in the house, so that smell disappeared also.
Next time we got a game out, we were well into the game when there was a hint of another smell - this time, pipe smoke. It was a wonderful smell. Wife grew up around pipe smoke, but she said she wished her Grandpa would have smoked this brand cause it smelled better. So then the smell got stronger. Then, another smell emerged; this time it was perfume. Wife liked the smell but I'm allergic to certain perfumes and I began to sneeze. Smell went away. Later, it was a different perfume, and much toned down. We were OK with that, and by now we were THOROUGHLY convinced it wasn't in our minds!!
For a couple years after that, these two smells would always show up when we played a game, and then sometimes just out of the blue. Then one day the perfume smell never came back. The pipe smell was gone for a while, but came back after a few months, but seemed distant - not really wanting to interact.
We know a little about the original occupants of the farm, but from our understanding, the man died before the woman, and that has left us wondering who it could be then? Neither of us can remember anyone similar from either of our families.
Has been a couple of years since either of the smells have appeared. Every now and then one of us will ask the other if they've smelled either smell, but the answer now is always no. It was fun while it lasted. What it all meant, however, we haven't a clue! ...Maybe we need to start playing the games again. :wink:

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
